Chapter 80: The Rise of Jiangnan Dao X Industry Group...
Jin Shiyu looked at Huangfu Feng anxiously.
He wanted to know, he was going crazy with desire.
Jin Suiqing was forcing him to choose the second option!
"She said you want to destroy the Jin family, but the Jin family's bloodline is highly integrated with the Super Sulfur Combustion Engine, a secret even the Huangfu family doesn't know. If you continue to listen to the two Huangfus, not only will it not help your goal at all, but it will also perpetuate Jin Guizhong's incompetence, using his blood to create the engine and becoming a tool for producing the Super Sulfur Combustion Engine." She said coldly, "And Qingqing will try to develop a new source engine that can replace the Super Sulfur Combustion Engine, so that the Jin family will no longer have its current status. Isn't that also a way to destroy the Jin family?"
Ye Zhufeng looked him up and down and said coldly, "It's up to you to choose."
Jin Shiyu was in a daze, as if processing the complex information. After a long while, she stammered, "Will she...will she come back?"
"Yes, definitely." Ye Zhufeng nodded solemnly. "She said that when the time is right, she will come back and marry you."
＊
Three years later.
Jiangnan Road, winter.
The Southern Little New Year, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Despite being the daughter of the Marquis of Huai'an, Yin Rushi personally carried large and small bags and braved the light snow, striding proudly into the mine. She was startled by the dramatic transformation of the mining village, as if the world had been turned upside down.
When I went into the mountains the winter before last, all I could see were bamboo houses; when I looked again last year, they had all been replaced by brick houses; and this year, I saw that most of the brick houses had been gradually erected with frames, and it looked like they were about to build a second floor.
It was the Little New Year in the south, and every household was making preserved pork and beef. The aroma of meat and rice wafted from the chimneys, and the simple, rustic atmosphere made Yin Rushi's mouth water.
Fucun!
Jin Suiqing had only been here for three years when he set up a factory that specialized in heavy machinery. Although the prices were slightly higher, the quality was exceptionally high.
Among the heavy machinery produced, the telescopic boom crane is the most famous.
Her crane has a telescopic boom that is four to five times longer than typical cranes. Normally, the longer the boom, the lower the load capacity, but the crane from the mine can lift more than twice the weight of typical cranes, while also maintaining stability and safety.
The first telescopic boom crane appeared out of nowhere. When it lifted the nearly 100-ton bow of the dragon boat in front of Yin Rushi and safely lowered it into the water, it successfully astonished Yin Rushi. Without hesitation, she immediately decided to order one out of her own pocket, successfully solving the problem of launching the dragon boat at the dock. How impressive!
For a time, telescopic boom cranes enjoyed immense popularity and became a hot commodity in Jiangnan Road.
Furthermore, the Marquis of Huai'an acted as guarantor, helping Jin Suiqing connect with the local government to obtain heavy machinery from the mines. This solved the problem that Jiangnan Circuit had money but was restricted by the allocation of heavy machinery by the Faxie Sect, preventing it from undertaking large-scale local infrastructure projects.
The official in charge of the case was in tears, praising Boss Jin for bringing blessings to the people. She said that as long as Boss Jin could sell them legal weapons, she would fulfill any request he made.
Jin Suiqing had only one request: "Sneak into the village, no shooting allowed."
Administrative location: ?
Jin Suiqing chuckled sullenly, "So you mean you want to make a fortune quietly? I'll have to trouble you gentlemen in the capital to help out."
The governor suddenly realized and said, "If Boss Jin doesn't want to be controlled by the central government, he should give the mine a nickname and act under that nickname. It should be much more convenient for him to be under the governor's jurisdiction."
Jin Suiqing waved his hand and said, "The factory is in Xuzhou, so let's call it X Factory!"
Under Jin Suiqing's leadership, Xucun Village, nestled deep in the mountains, experienced a meteoric rise in its fortunes. The veteran miners received training and entered factories, where their income increased several times over compared to their past mining days, and their lives became infinitely better.
Not only that, but it has also attracted many young people back to the village. Jin Suiqing has requirements: those who want to work in the factory must sign a confidentiality agreement, and violating the agreement will result in the revocation of all benefits; an eight-hour workday is implemented; wages are settled on time at the beginning of the month; the company promises pension benefits; medical treatment for work injuries, welfare subsidies, employee retraining, etc.
Jin Suiqing also gave the villagers shares, and at the end of the year they would receive a large dividend. Every household would receive one; the more they worked, the more they earned, not only in terms of salary but also in terms of year-end dividends.
With enough to eat and money to earn, everyone naturally put in their best effort. However, the one or two troublemakers were kicked out by the self-managed village collective and could never come back.
For a time, X factory was well-organized and thriving.
Yin Ru asked her where she got so many ideas, but Jin Suiqing just smiled and didn't answer.
She's just a plagiarist, simply copying what's already there.
Turning around, Yin Ru almost got lost in the brand-new Xu Village. Following her memory, she walked along the road until she saw the familiar courtyard and Hui Hong waiting for her at the door. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief.
Huihong was wearing a bright red satin jacket, her cheeks were flushed from being covered, and she was holding a hand warmer in her hands, but she didn't seem to feel cold at all.
When Huihong saw Yin Rushi, she quickly waved, "Miss Yin, over here, over here!"
Yin Rushi smiled and jogged over. Huihong took the things from her hands, then took out a hand warmer from her bosom and stuffed it into Yin Rushi's hands. "This is a little gadget I made. Try it and see if it's warm."
Yin Ru said happily, "It's warm, really warm. Huihong is so amazing now. Not only can she do accounting, manage the factory, and build greenhouses to grow vegetables, but now she can also make machinery."
Hui Hong blushed and buried her face in her collar. "It's mainly because Sui Qing was willing to teach me. She taught me so much."
Seeing that Ji Saiyu was filled with shame and indignation, Yin Ru stopped teasing her, and the two entered the courtyard one after the other. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Ji Saiyu sitting with her legs crossed, a smirk on her face as she looked at the account book and the abacus.
Yin Rushi: "Boss Ji, you seem so happy. You must have made a lot of money this year, right?"
Seeing Yin Rushi arrive, Ji Saiyu smiled and took an orange from the heater, tossing it to her. "With the technology of 'Suiqing' (a type of orange), you can indeed earn a lot. However, the factory's production capacity is limited. After supplying the government offices, only one or two machines can be delivered to the market, resulting in lower profits."
Yin Rushi pondered for a moment and said, "Judging from this, it seems that Suiqing is planning to leave Xu Village?"
Ji Saiyu narrowed her eyes. "Miss Yin, who are you asking on behalf of?"
"Whoever is in the capital, I'll ask for them," Yin Ru chuckled, glossing over the matter. "Never mind if you don't want to say. Where's Suiqing? Come and see what I brought."
Huihong said, "She and Big Dog are still in the studio. They said they're going to do some experiments while it's snowing..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jin Suiqing flung open the door and shouted, "We've got a lead! The new electrolyte..."
The three of them looked toward the door. Jin Suiqing was wearing a fruit-green cotton-padded jacket, which was covered in dust from the explosion of some unknown object. The white fur on the collar was burned to a brownish-red, and his face was also covered in black patches.
Not to mention Gong Dagou behind her; if it weren't for the whites of his eyes, you wouldn't even recognize him as a person.
Jin Suiqing was overjoyed, "Yin Rushi!"
Yin Ru asked in surprise, "What...where are you going?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the sulfur-based gold exploded a few times," Jin Suiqing ran to the basin to wash her hands and face, washing away all the black ash from her face. Water was still dripping from her temples as she smiled and greeted Yin Rushi, "Happy New Year, Sister Yin."
Three years have passed. Jin Suiqing has grown a little taller, though she is still not considered tall; she has lost a lot of weight and looks more sturdy; her face has become less fleshy, making her eyes appear larger and rounder. Perhaps because she can openly do what she likes, her dark, moist eyes are even more piercing and dazzling.
Just as Huangfu Feng said, what nourishes a woman is always her hobbies and career, and has absolutely nothing to do with any nonsense about love and romance.
Yin Rushi now thinks, "The words may be rough, but the truth is sound, Your Highness."
Thinking that the Huai'an Marquis's mansion had made a lot of money since Jin Suiqing came to Jiangnan, Yin Rushi doted on her, thinking she was a lucky star. She tried to persuade her to come home for dinner. Yin Rushi smiled even more brightly, "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Do you want to come to my house for New Year's Eve dinner this year?"
"Oh dear, Sister Yin beat me to it. I was hoping you would come here for New Year's Eve dinner."
Since she had said that, Yin Rushi naturally understood that Jin Suiqing had no ulterior motives, so she stopped asking and pointed to the things on the table, saying, "Come and see what I brought you from the capital."
us?
The people present couldn't help but laugh, because most of the things on the table were gold and blue!
Yin Rushi first picked out a small wooden box and handed it to Huihong, saying, "Gong Xiaoyang has been admitted to the Magic Machinery Sect. He asked me to bring you the good news and also asked me to bring this with me."
Gong Xiaoyang is also a genius.
Having followed Jin Suiqing for many years, he deeply understands that knowledge is power. He thoroughly studied the box of magic weapon blueprints that Jin Suiqing gave him as start-up capital, burned them all, and used them to enter the Magic Weapon Sect. He is currently studying under Chai Zixin.
Jin Suiqing didn't care at all. In the end, it wasn't her master who starved to death, and the Magic Weapon Sect gained another thorn in its side. Why not?
Yin Rushi urged, "Open it and take a look quickly."
Huihong's cheeks flushed, but she immediately opened the wooden box.
Inside lay a hand warmer, along with blueprints.
Yin Rushi: "He heard that Jiangnan is damp and cold, and that you are also learning about magic weapons, so he made a hand warmer and brought the blueprints with him so that you could disassemble it."
Yin Ru Shi weighed the hand warmer in her hand. "Those who are meticulous really do think in the same direction."
Hui's face turned even redder.
Gong Dagou frowned. "I'm his brother, how come I don't know anything about this?"
Yin Rushi pulled out two casually packed cloth bags and handed them to Gong Dagou, "Oh, he also brought you two cotton-padded jackets."
Gong Dagou muttered, "Are we short of these two cotton-padded jackets?" "My brother is too old to stay at home, keeping him here only brings sorrow." He turned his back to everyone in disappointment, squatted down in front of the warmer, and sighed deeply.
The room erupted in laughter.
Yin Ru put her hands on her hips and said, "The rest of the packages are all broken blue."
Yin Ru first slashed out half of it, "This is what Ah Feng asked me to bring you. There are some trendy novels from the capital, trinkets, and all sorts of strange and unusual blueprints..."
“Your other half,” Yin Ru said coldly, “is what your brother asked me to bring you: tooth powder, underwear… He said to avoid cold and sweet things, and to remember your period…”
Jin Suiqing, who had just been watching others with amusement, suddenly changed her expression and cursed him inwardly as a pervert. Her father's temperament was hard to change; not only did he meddle in everything, but she also didn't know what method he used to measure things, as the clothes he sent every year were always very close to the body.
She's been gone for three years and hasn't gone back even once!
This is truly bizarre. Before Yin Rushi could reveal even more explosive information, Jin Suiqing quickly moved Jin Shiyu's things aside. "Ahem, thank you for troubling Sister Yin, carrying so many things for me, and having to listen to such annoying things. I'm really sorry, let's talk about something else."
After another burst of laughter, Jin Suiqing cleared her throat and said, "There are two things I'd like to discuss with Sister Yin."
Yin Ru nodded, sat down, and peeled a roasted orange while saying, "Go ahead and speak, don't be polite with me."
Jin Suiqing said, "The innovation of the sulfur combustion engine is showing promise, and the stability of sulfur-based gold is increasing." This should have been happy news, but Jin Suiqing frowned. Seeing this, Yin Rushi asked, "What about the other thing?"
Jin Suiqing said, "Sister Yin, then I will be frank. The Jiangnan Prefecture government has accepted an order on my behalf. The quantity is not large, only one unit. There is also plenty of time, and it will be delivered before the end of next year. If the quality is stable, we can discuss long-term cooperation, and we can even provide funding to support research and development."
The administrative center was indeed closely related to the Marquis of Huai'an. Yin Rushi became wary instantly, and the more she listened, the more she felt something was amiss. What was the difference between this and someone rushing to offer money?
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
Jin Suiqing: "I thought about turning down the order, but the government office said that we had to accept the order. If we didn't, it would be difficult for X Gong to have any business in Jiangnan Daowai in the future."
Yin Ru was surprised, "Is there any business in the world that can't be refused? What's the difference between this and forced buying and selling?"
Jin Suiqing sighed, "The government office is stuck with the information, and I can't find out who the person in charge is. Not only can I not refuse now, but he also wants to meet with me in a couple of days to discuss things in detail, so I have no choice but to go."
After a moment of silence, the two looked at each other, needing no words, their understanding was unspoken.
This behavior seems so familiar.
