"First, give me 10 tons of gold. This amount shouldn't be too much of a hassle. I have to report to my superiors, and I can't stand not getting dollars and gold."
"10 tons of gold, yes."
Lin Sanqi was stunned for a moment, thinking, "You have so much power? Don't you even need to report to your superiors?"
In fact, what Lin Sanqi didn't know was that Leader Jing had already authorized him to trade with Lin Sanqi, and he could give him up to half of the gold in the national treasury, which was about 50 tons.
Foreign exchange is also acceptable, but it cannot exceed half the amount.
Now Lin Sanqi only wanted 10 tons of gold. Leader Jing was secretly delighted and of course agreed without hesitation.
From the perspective of the country, there is nothing wrong with using the least amount of money to obtain the most supplies.
Only irresponsible leaders would squander the foreign exchange and gold in the national treasury at will, without feeling any pain about selling their father's land.
In fact, Lin Sanqi didn't have to have the gold, but he wanted to take some. If he didn't take any, he might not be appreciated by some people, but would be treated as a sucker.
A country is made up of people, and it will not "bully" its own citizens, but among the people who rule the country, some are selfless, and there must be some selfish people.
Lin Sanqi was on guard against these selfish people, who cared little for the interests of their families, not the interests of the nation. Their selfishness was so strong that they would do all sorts of bizarre things.
Seeing that the first condition had been met, Lin Sanqi breathed a sigh of relief and proposed the second condition:
"Boss, the second condition is that you give me all the first-grade and special-grade Longjing new tea from Zhejiang Province this year.
But let's make it clear first, I only want West Lake Longjing tea, which is produced in the villages around West Lake, such as Shifeng, Longjing, Yunqi, Hupao, and Meijiawu."
The value of authentic West Lake Longjing is very high, so expensive that ordinary people cannot afford it.
The most common Longjing that ordinary people can drink is Dafo Longjing, Yuezhou Longjing, etc. These are actually "borderline Longjing" and cannot be sold at a high price.
Even if tourists go to Longjing Village for a tour, they will see villagers there frying tea leaves. However, what tourists don’t know is that these fresh tea leaves being fried on the roadside are all purchased from outside and fried for tourists to see and trick them into buying them.
After the real West Lake Longjing tea is picked, it is bought by some mysterious people and handed over to the most skilled tea roasting master to roast.
Lin Sanqi thought that since he was already in the Pu'er tea business, it didn't matter whether he was driving one sheep or two.
The price of genuine West Lake Longjing is definitely not lower than Pu'er tea.
Leader Jing thought that Longjing tea was an important industry for earning foreign exchange, but the foreign exchange generated by Longjing tea could not buy a few generators, so this business was still very profitable.
The two parties hit it off and each got what they needed.
"That's fine in principle. I'll discuss the specific quantity with Orie Province. Don't worry, I'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer. Are there any other conditions?"
Lin Sanqi's face turned red. He thought that he was such a shameless profiteer. The country was in such a difficult situation, but he still wanted to take advantage of it. How despicable.
Lin the treacherous businessman condemned himself for a while, and finally made another request:
"The third condition is to relocate Southern Medical University and South China University of Technology, both located in Huadu, to Bao'an County, where they will be under the dual management of the education department and Bao'an County."
Leader Jing was shocked when he heard this;
"Wow, Comrade Sanqi, you're quite ambitious. The two universities combined have over a thousand people. Are you sure Bao'an County can handle it? If I really give you both universities, the educational expenses will all be borne by Bao'an County."
Lin Sanqi shook his head repeatedly when he heard this:
"That won't work. Education funding still has to be borne by the state. You can't just throw it all at me. But I can promise that I will build the school and provide a certain subsidy every year. When the students graduate, Bao'an County will have first choice."
There is one more thing Lin Sanqi didn't say. If the two universities were moved to Bao'an County, Lin Sanqi planned to use the 2015 textbooks for teaching.
The talents trained are just right for use in Bao'an County.
If a region wants to develop, it will be completely impossible without good higher education. In the end, it will at most be a production base, and there is no way it can become a scientific research base.
Leader Jing thought about it and suddenly became uncertain:
"Comrade Sanqi, I can't agree to this right now. Relocating two universities will affect Dongguang Province and the Ministry of Education, and it will have an impact on every aspect. What I can promise you now is that I will apply to my superiors for this matter."
Lin Sanqi thought that if there were no temptation, the teachers and students of these two universities would probably not be willing to come to Bao'an County.
Supporting the border areas sounds good, but that only goes to people with no other options. Who among those with connections, means, and a future would be willing to go to the border areas? Who would be willing to go to the countryside?
Of course, there is joy in front of the camera, with drums and gongs beating loudly, but behind the camera, the family is crying and hugging each other, feeling the separation of life and death.
"Leader, when you discuss this with Southern Medical University and South China University of Technology, tell them that if they're willing to relocate entirely to Bao'an County, I'll provide all the equipment and instruments needed for research and teaching."
Leader Jing nodded, thinking that this was already a big deal, but he also knew the complexity of the matter, so he asked:
"What if Southern Medical University and South China University of Technology still don't want to relocate? Do you want us to issue an administrative order or just let it go?"
Lin Sanqi was unhappy when he heard this:
"No need for that. If you insist on not coming to Bao'an County, then forget it. A forced melon will not be sweet, and these two universities will lose an opportunity to become world-renowned universities.
With so many talented people across the country, I doubt there will be any brave souls willing to take on such a generous reward. At worst, I can recruit from other provinces. Henan Medical University and Henan University of Technology are good, as they're said to have a serious food problem. Bao'an County provides them with food and lodging, so I doubt they won't come."
When Leader Jing heard this, his mind was instantly enlightened. He thought to himself, yes, if the East is dark, the West will be bright. It's not like we have to hang ourselves on a tree.
"Okay, now that you say that, I have the confidence and assurance to help you build a few universities. You see, I've agreed to all my requests. When can you give me these generators?"
As soon as Leader Jing arrived in Bao'an, he couldn't wait and wanted to take the generator away directly, but was refused by the garrison responsible for warehouse security.
The reason is that any shipment must be approved by Commissioner Lin or by phone.
Now that the terms have been agreed, Leader Jing doesn't want to delay any longer, as such a high-ranking leader has a lot of things to deal with.
Lin Sanqi chuckled and said, "Just go over here, there are 10 warehouses, you can move out anytime."
Leader Jing narrowed his eyes and asked, "What are those huge iron things over there?"
"Oh, that's our cold storage over there. It's full of grain, vegetables, meat, and eggs for the Bao'an County Industrial Zone."
When Leader Jing heard this, his interest grew:
"Really? Can you take me to have a look? I've never seen such a large cold storage before."
Lin Sanqi did not suspect anything and arranged for the staff of the Ministry of Electricity to start the registration process, while he took Leader Jing to visit the cold storage.
The Tuyang warehouse area is currently under security by soldiers from the Fushan Military Region. Of course, the security is not too strict. After all, ordinary people cannot reach Bao'an County, let alone Yantian.
When the soldiers opened a cold storage, Lin Sanqi considerately put a military coat on Leader Jing.
Leader Jing looked at the huge mountain of pork in front of him, his eyes almost popping out:
"Comrade Sanqi, this is all meat?"
In this era, pork is hard currency, more precious than gold. With such a warehouse of pork, it is no exaggeration to say that he is the richest man in the country.
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "Yes, we have pork, beef, mutton, and fish. The most is pork, which totals 5,000 tons. I'll replenish it when they're all eaten."
Leader Jing is in charge of the logistics of the entire army and even the entire country, so he is naturally particularly sensitive to supplies.
"Comrade Sanqi, is all this pork imported from abroad?"
Lin Sanqi thought that since he was well-known for smuggling, he had nothing to fear, so he made an excuse:
"Yes, all of it is imported from abroad, but it's all shipped through Hong Kong. In addition to this meat, I have 50,000 tons of rice and flour in the warehouse next door, and another 10,000 tons of vegetables and fruits.
Food is consumed quickly, so I constantly replenish it, and I've found a stable supply channel. This is also the reason I dare to support so many people and run two universities. (End of this chapter)
