Chen Wenqiu asked curiously, "Who is the dean? Is he a good partner?"
Lin Sanqi replied:
"The dean is a doctor who studied abroad at Union Hospital. I later transferred him to the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital. His medical skills are impeccable, and he is a very upright person. He is definitely a patriot.
This time, I have arranged for the first batch of 10 doctors and 10 nurses who studied abroad to come here. We will continue to transfer doctors who studied abroad from infectious disease hospitals. You can absolutely trust the medical skills and ethics of this group of people.
They are my direct line of defense. The current Baoan County People's Hospital and the future Baoan International Hospital will all be staffed by doctors who studied abroad."
Shen Wenqiu was a little surprised: "Yeah, there shouldn't be many doctors studying abroad in our country, right? The country can give us all that?"
Lin Sanqi smiled bitterly and said:
"The number isn't large, but if you look across the country, there are definitely more than a few hundred people. These people are in dire situations right now, and if we extend an olive branch, they'll definitely be willing to come to Bao'an County."
Shen Wenqiu nodded thoughtfully. Over there, Shen Guoming was already assigning work tasks to his son-in-law.
"Hongliang, Xiaoqi and I have already discussed this. You will continue to retain your military status, but since you have just arrived in Bao'an County and have not made any contributions yet, your rank will not be increased for the time being. You will still retain the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Your future position will be Deputy Director of the Logistics Support Department of the Fushan Military Sub-district, and concurrently Director of the Tuyang Warehouse District. The supplies in the Tuyang Warehouse are extremely important, and all incoming and outgoing shipments will be entrusted to you. You must be careful and cautious.
Lin Sanqi came over and said with a smile:
"Brother-in-law, don't think your position is too low. This is definitely a position of real power. Our warehouse is full of treasures. You will see it tomorrow. When the time is right, you will be able to upgrade to two bars and three stars."
Fu Hongliang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and quickly stood at attention and saluted:
"Yes, I will ensure that the task is completed."
After dealing with his relatives, Lin Sanqi glanced towards the door again. Why didn’t the two “wealth-bringing boys” appear?
At this time, Fu Hongliang remembered something and said:
"Little brother, Commander Cao and Director Zhao said they are waiting for you at the train station and asked you to come over immediately."
"Okay, then sister, brother-in-law, you go and rest first, I'll be back soon."
Bao'an County Railway Station
A green-painted train stopped at Platform No. 1. Commander Cao and Director Zhao were standing on the platform, each holding a steamed bun and chewing it.
"Hey, Lao Zhao, Bao'an County isn't that great. Look at how dilapidated this train station is. I'm afraid bricks will fall and hit me."
Hearing Commander Cao's complaints, Director Zhao stuffed the steamed bread into his mouth in two or three bites, and said unclearly:
"This railway was built during the Qing Dynasty. How old is this train station? How could it not be dilapidated? Besides, with Lin Houzi's abilities, I have confidence in his plan for the Bao'an County Industrial Park."
The two were still chatting when a strange car drove over from the end of the platform. Commander Cao and Director Zhao couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The car was almost silent as it started, floating in front of the two of them like a ghost.
"Lao Cao, Lao Zhao, haha, welcome, welcome, both leaders are welcome to guide our Bao'an County."
Commander Cao and Director Zhao circled Lin Sanqi's car several times, marveling at it.
"Xiao Lin, why is your car so weird? I can't hear any engine noise, and there's not even an exhaust pipe. How do you drive it?"
Lin Sanqi smiled and said, "This one is electrically powered, it doesn't use gasoline. We're short on gasoline, so this electric car is perfect for us."
Commander Cao said disdainfully, "If gasoline is in short supply, then electricity isn't?"
Lin Sanqi looked at the green military train in front of him and asked excitedly:
"Is everything in here what I want?"
Director Zhao then interrupted and complained:
"Xiao Lin, to transport these things, we had to go all the way to Yuenan and then through Guangxi before arriving in your Bao'an County. It wasn't easy. Look, Commander Cao and I have both lost a lot of weight from hunger. You have to give us a fair price."
"Fairness be told. When has I, Lin Sanqi, ever let my comrades back home suffer? By the way, what's in this?"
Commander Cao chuckled and waved his hand, and several soldiers opened one of the carriage doors.
Lin Sanqi jumped up and took a look. The bottom of the carriage was covered with dry straw, and on top of it were piles of stones of different sizes.
The stones that were hit by the sunlight shining through the carriage all flashed some green reflections.
"Wow, this is a rough jadeite?"
"Yes, these are jadeite stones, Comrade Sanqi. Look, these stones have been rubbed green all around. In the industry, it's called 'windowing.' Shine a flashlight on them. Can you see it? The green inside has become very dark."
For these jades, I personally talked to Lao Burmese for a long time and promised a lot of conditions before bringing them here.
It wasn't easy, these raw stones were brought back from the border by our soldiers themselves, carrying them on their shoulders and backs."
The China-Myanmar border is all tropical rainforest and primitive society, with no roads or railways.
Lin Sanqi could imagine how hard the soldiers had to work to carry these jadeite raw stones back on their backs.
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi really wanted to slap himself a few times. He deserved to die for letting his own soldiers serve him, a dog capitalist.
Seeing Lin Sanqi's serious expression, Commander Cao knew that he had played the family card correctly:
"Comrade Sanqi, I've brought five train cars full of this type of raw stones this time. Come over here and take a look at this car."
Lin Tianqi followed Commander Cao to change to another carriage. When they opened it, they saw a lot of wooden boxes inside.
Commander Cao opened a box, and instantly Lin Sanqi's eyes were blinded by the green light. He couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Wow~~~"
Commander Cao was filled with contempt, thinking that this green stone couldn't be eaten, worn, or used as a bullet to shoot at the enemy, so what was the use?
But he had a smile on his face and said exaggeratedly:
"How is it, Comrade Sanqi? Is it a treasure? For these jades, I exchanged a lot of supplies with the old Burmese. It really emptied my family's wealth. If you don't give me a fair price, I'm afraid I will have to beg for food when I return to Yunnan."
Lin Sanqi pointed at the wooden boxes in the carriage and asked impatiently:
"Old Cao, don't be so naive. Are all the boxes filled with jade?"
Commander Cao gestured, and several young men in green uniforms jumped up and opened all the boxes. In an instant, the carriage turned into a sea of green.
Lin Sanqi simply loves this green area. This is not just green, it is all money.
"Old Cao, there's no doubt about it. You've done a very solid job. With so many jadeite pieces, even though I'm not a professional, I can tell the water content and quality are definitely top-notch."
Commander Cao thought to himself that these green stones were piled up in the warehouses of some Burmese warlords and could not be sold at all.
Since the closure of China, the largest jade market, it has become impossible to support the market or hype it up by relying solely on Hong Kong, Taiwan, or a small part of the market in South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia.
Even South Korea and Japan, because of their complete Westernization, are more pursuing eternal diamonds rather than jade.
Due to the small demand in the downstream market, the jadeite raw stones from upstream have become unsalable products. In addition, the jadeite raw stones are dug out from the mountains and rivers, so they do not require any cost at all.
So when Commander Cao went to negotiate, the Burmese only asked for some weapons and food, and then opened the warehouse door wide, allowing them to move whatever they wanted.
Commander Cao was wondering, who would Lin Sanqi sell these trainloads of jade to? Would he be ripped off?
Lin Tianqi groped through the boxes one by one, feeling relieved.
Judging from the value created by these jadeite jades, it may be sold at a sky-high price. Even if it cannot be sold for hundreds of billions of dollars like Hetian jade, it will definitely be worth tens of billions.
"Old Cao, I won't play games with you. I want all these jades. I'll have someone take them away soon. If you want penicillin, I'll give you 5 million bottles."
Commander Cao was overjoyed. This number far exceeded his expectations, but he had another surprise:
"Also, Lao Cao, since your military train has arrived, I won't let you go back empty-handed. I'll give you another 10,000 tons of rice and an additional 2 million US dollars. What do you say?"
At this time, Commander Cao was so happy that he almost fainted.
US dollars, food, penicillin, which one wasn't urgently needed by the troops? Now that Lin Sanqi had offered to send it to him, he felt like the happiest army commander in the country.
"Okay, okay, okay, Comrade Lin Sanqi, on behalf of our Yunnan Border Army, I thank you very much. Thank you very much."
Commander Cao was choked up while speaking. He stood up straight and saluted solemnly.
Lin Sanqi also quickly stood up and returned the military salute:
"Lao Cao, it's fate that we met. If you have any needs in Yunnan, please tell me and I will definitely help if I can.
But as for the jade, hey, you can also slowly collect them, I will underwrite them all."
At this time, Commander Cao laughed so hard that his back teeth showed:
"Okay, okay, Comrade Sanqi, don't worry. Even if it costs me my life, I will guarantee you a bountiful harvest of jadeite. Hahahaha."
Director Zhao looked on with envy and anxiety.
"Xiao Lin, come on, don't just focus on distributing benefits to the troops. There's also me. Look, look at this row over there. There are over 20 train cars filled with Pu'er tea." (End of this chapter)
