In the evening, Lin Sanqi rushed to Bao'an County and called the capital.
Now there are large planes to fly by sea and tunnels to travel by land. For Lin Sanqi, the border is like a deserted place. He can come and go freely and it is very convenient.
The reason why I don’t make international long-distance calls from Hong Kong to Beijing is that I’m afraid someone will monitor it, which would be fun.
Lin Sanqi returned to his office in Bao'an County Government, picked up a red confidential phone and dialed a number.
In Beijing, Leader Jing was looking through documents when the phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, who is this?"
Lin Sanqi chuckled and said, "Leader, I'm Lin Sanqi, and I'm here to wish you a happy new year."
When Leader Jing heard this, he felt relieved and joked:
"So it's you, kid. I'm not going to hesitate to answer this call. You know I've been almost annoyed to death these past few days. All the calls from all over the country asking for money and supplies have come to me, all telling me they're crying out for food and want to have a good New Year.
I also want to have a good New Year, but the natural disaster has just passed, and the national production order has not yet fully recovered. Where can I get the money and food to support everyone? Oh, this is really going to cost me my life."
Lin Sanqi was delighted when he heard this:
"Boss, I'm different from other flirtatious people. I don't want your money. I'm just here to report on my work."
Leader Jing chuckled and continued jokingly:
"I thought you would say that not only do you not want money, but you would actually support me. It seems like you've learned your lesson and started to be more thoughtful."
Lin Sanqi complained:
"Boss, look at what you're saying. I'm operating a business now, and I've invested a lot of money in the Bao'an Industrial Zone. I'm living a tight life. I've been wearing this short-sleeved shirt for two years now."
Leader Jing thought to himself, I have so many patches on my short-sleeved shirt, how can you say you are poor?
"By the way, I'm calling you not only to wish you a happy new year, but also to inform my superiors that the first phase of the industrial zone project has been completed, the machines have been installed, and production can begin soon.
I've invited Professor Witte, President of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, and Professor Anthony, Vice President, to come and cut the ribbon. To avoid unnecessary trouble, I've brought them here privately, so I've reported this to the leadership."
Lin Sanqi still knew the rules. Whenever a foreigner entered the country, he would request to report it, so as to avoid being treated as a lowly lackey and being arguable in the future.
When Leader Jing heard this, he was overjoyed:
"Okay, okay, that's incredibly fast. I understand what's going on with the two presidents. I'll write a briefing and submit it later. Just go ahead and do your job without worrying too much.
However, we will not be sending anyone to the Bao'an Industrial Zone's ribbon-cutting ceremony. The Bao'an County issue is too sensitive, so we'll try to keep it low-key. We still insist on not publicizing, encouraging, or opposing it. I hope you can understand our efforts."
Lin Sanqi thought to himself that he must be understanding. What he had done was absolutely against the will of heaven in the 1960s.
The reason why he was able to successfully build an industrial zone in Bao'an County like Monkey King.
Firstly, several leaders in charge of the economy supported him, and secondly, Lin Sanqi did not ask for a single cent of investment from the country and also promised to hand over 90% of the profits.
So everyone just wanted to give it a try and let him mess around in a small border county.
If he proposed to establish this "special economic zone" in Changping or Chongming, it would not be approved.
Everyone is feeling their way across the river, trying to bring some changes to the country, including Lin Sanqi.
"Don't worry, leader. It's actually a good thing for me if you don't care.
I don’t have a mother-in-law above me or a supervisor, so I can do whatever I want. Even when signing a contract with a foreign country, I just need to stamp it, without going through layers of approval or holding meetings to discuss it.
To paraphrase a famous saying from our Bao'an County: Time is life, efficiency is money. We are now wholeheartedly focusing on developing the economy, making more money, and striving to achieve the four modernizations as soon as possible.
Leader Jing smiled:
"You, now that you're an official, you've learned to speak in official jargon. Four modernizations? Which four modernizations? Haha."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, and suddenly Leader Jing became serious:
"By the way, Comrade Sanqi, I was going to tell you tomorrow, but since you called, I'll tell you now. I just received news that a small-scale air battle took place in the southern waters today.
We scrambled the new fighter planes you just shipped over and took to the air. The battle report is on my desk now. Guess what the results were?"
Lin Sanqi's breathing became heavier, and he asked nervously, "How many to how many?"
The J-7 was definitely the most advanced fighter jet in the 1960s, but having good aircraft performance alone was not enough; it also needed to be paired with highly skilled pilots to unleash its power.
If this new plane were to take off and be beaten to pieces like an Indian dumpling, then Lin Sanqi would be the eternal sinner of the country.
Leader Jing suddenly burst into laughter and replied cheerfully:
"We won, with a score of 0:6. However, this time the opponent was knocked down 6 times, while we were unscathed.
Comrade Sanqi, this is great, this is really great! This is the biggest air combat victory we have achieved since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The key is that this victory was completely overwhelming. If the enemy hadn't been able to outrun them, none of the 10 planes that came this time would have been able to escape."
"real?"
Lin Sanqi was overjoyed and slammed his hand on the table:
"Good, great, my efforts have paid off. Haha, our pilots are really great, we need to give them extra meals.
So, Commander, tell the Air Force not to worry about wasting missiles and kerosene during normal training. I'll take care of it all. I'll figure it out."
Lin Sanqi knew that the level of ace pilots was achieved through training, which was precisely the biggest obstacle to the training of our military pilots.
Now that we have airplanes, we can fly however we want. I believe that it won’t be long before a large number of experienced pilots will emerge.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them one by one, and fight them two by two, making them go without return. Then we will see if they dare to invade our airspace again in the future.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Sanqi hummed a little tune happily, traveled back to modern society, and found Yin Lianyi to get a room to celebrate.
That night, Lin Baiyi was extremely fierce, constantly attacking the enemy, killing them so badly that they were completely routed and cried for their parents...
After a busy night, Master Lin traveled back to 1963 and fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, his door was violently pushed open. Just as Lin Sanqi was half asleep, he felt a heavy slap on the head.
"Sleep, still sleeping, what time is it?"
Lin Sanqi opened his eyes and saw his godfather and industrial zone director Shen Guoming, who looked angry. He stretched lazily.
"Um, Godfather, what time is it?"
"It's 9 o'clock, Commissioner Lin, it's 9 o'clock. We agreed to hold the groundbreaking ceremony at 9:30. The foreign dignitaries have already arrived, but you, the Bao'an leader, are missing."
Lin Sanqi sat up straight and sighed:
"Godfather, isn't it our decision to open the industrial zone? If 9:30 doesn't work, then 10:30. Why are you in such a hurry? And since superstitious activities are forbidden during the opening, are you afraid of missing the auspicious time?"
Shen Guoming was so angry that he almost slapped him again:
"You bastard, what's the most important thing when running a business? Honesty!
If we say when to open, we must open at that time; if we say when to deliver, we must deliver at that time.
If a businessman does not keep his word, others will not trust him in the future. Do you know how much this "integrity cost" will cost you?
Hurry up, we still have half an hour left, just wash your face and we'll set off for Sha Tau Kok. Your father is already there with a few foreigners for a tour.
What a shame, we can't publicize this domestically. This is the first modern pharmaceutical production base established in our country. It would have been a great thing to have it featured in the Masses Daily."
While washing, Lin Sanqi said indifferently:
"Godfather, you people from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the most particular about making a fortune quietly. What we did, according to the current policy, would probably get us shot several times. So we don't have much to publicize.
Earn money, build your own family, and help the country to the best of your ability—that's your contribution. Starting this year, the country's foreign exchange reserves depend on us.
Once we become the nation's largest foreign exchange earner and the world's largest pharmaceutical production base, no one in China will oppose us and will even protect us. That will be our success."
Secretary Bai Ruli handed over two hot steamed buns, and Lin Sanqi ate them while walking. Then he got in the car and headed for Sha Tau Kok. (End of this chapter)
