Chapter 0: Modern Times
Recently, the China Wealth List was released, and as soon as the list was released, the entire Internet was in an uproar.
"There's no one with the last name Lin or Xu in the top 50. This list must be fake."
"I also think it's fake. I always thought the richest man in our country was either surnamed Lin or Xu."
"The one above, why don't you just say Lin Xu Group? The surnames are Lin and Xu, who doesn't know Lin Xu? Even my three-year-old son knows about Lin Xu Group."
"Linxu Group's products cover almost every industry, including agricultural and sideline products, technology companies, and medicine... The most famous one is Linxu Wine, which is famous all over the world. Not to mention Linxu's wine, in every industry they are involved in, if they admit to being second, no one dares to claim to be first. Logically speaking, shouldn't they make a lot of money? Why aren't they the richest man in our country?"
"Could it be that their nationality is not Chinese, so they don't appear on this list?"
"What kind of joke are you making? How could the Xu family, which has a general, three lieutenant generals, and three major generals, change their nationality?"
“——”
"Upstairs, I'm going to report you for spreading rumors."
"Report it. Facts speak louder than words."
"Xu Hexiao's eldest child is only 40 years old this year, how can he be promoted to general?"
"She entered the special operations battalion when she was less than four years old. Now, the most advanced weapons in the country were developed and researched by her. What do you think?"
"............"
"bow down!"
"bow down!"
"Kneel down. Besides, if you just say it out loud like that, will it put General Xu in danger?"
"Don't worry. She can enter the special training camp, so her skills are definitely not bad. It is said that she always ranks first in every assessment. Even if she doesn't choose the scientific research route, she will definitely be an admiral. Now she is teaching students and continuing to develop weapons. She rarely shows up in public. It is a blessing for the ancestors to be able to see her. However, her mother is the most mysterious one. She is a businessman who was given the highest honor by the country."
"Why?"
"What honor?"
"Ask the same question."
"That honor is extremely high. You can be bold and think higher. There is no upper limit."
"Fuck, is this true? Why?"
“Could it be because she raised seven wonderful children?”
“That was really hard work.”
"More than that. Linxu Group donates 20 billion yuan to our country's scientific research every year to purchase various advanced equipment and cultivate outstanding talents. The pharmaceutical company under the name of Linxu Group has 53 special-effect drugs, which are sold for more than 100,000 US dollars per small tube abroad and supplied to major hospitals in my country at cost price. I believe many of us are beneficiaries."
"That special medicine is definitely a life-saving drug. I am one of the beneficiaries. Later, I only bought products from the Linxu Group."
"My father also used Lin Xu's special medicine and saved his life."
“My grandmother, too.”
"............"
When it comes to miracle drugs, a lot of people come up with stories about their own experiences or those of their family and friends.
"In fact, it's not just special-effect drugs. Almost all of Linxu Pharmaceutical's drugs are better than those of other manufacturers. If it weren't for the limited production capacity of Linxu Pharmaceutical, our hospital would like to use all the drugs produced by Linxu Pharmaceutical. You may ask why Linxu Pharmaceutical doesn't build more factories and more production lines. In fact, it's not that Linxu Group doesn't want to, but it can't. Their drugs are good, in addition to the formula, the most important thing is the raw materials, and the herbs of Linxu Pharmaceutical are grown by Ms. Lin Qi, the largest shareholder of the group."
“........”
"Lin Xu makes money, but most of the money from the Lin Xu Group goes to the motherland and society. Every time there is a disaster, Lin Xu is definitely the one who donates the most."
"As expected of a family that has produced a general, three lieutenant generals, and three major generals, their ideological awareness is really high."
What follows is a bunch of flattery.
"I'll tell you a rumor. Ten years ago, I believe everyone remembers that genetically modified food was rampant. Most of our grain seeds were imported. If this continues, our local grain seeds will most likely disappear completely. Let's not talk about the pros and cons of genetically modified food for now. It's probably not a good thing to rely entirely on imports for grain seeds. Faced with such a serious situation, do you know how the matter was finally resolved?"
"I also remember that ten years ago, GMOs were rampant, but now they seem to be under control. What happened?"
"I know that grain seeds are dependent on imports. But this is not the farmers' fault. Foreign grain seeds are far superior to the old seeds in terms of drought resistance, flood resistance and pest resistance. Most importantly, the yield is very high. For the sake of profit, it is difficult for everyone not to choose imported seeds."
"But if foreign countries suddenly stop selling seeds to us——"
"There must be other options in our country."
"There are other plans, just like the soybean case before. Country A refused to sell soybeans to us, but we stored a lot of soybeans. They raised the price of soybeans, so we opened our granaries and stopped buying their high-priced beans. When they couldn't hold on any longer and lowered the price, we bought a lot of their soybeans. They got nothing, but we bought a lot of soybeans at a low price, and our soybean reserves were full again."
"But the country has many plans, and Linxu Group is one of them. It is currently the most stable and suitable one. The country has rented thousands of acres of land in the southeast, northwest, and northeast to Linxu Group, just to let Lin Qi farm."
"Why? Could it be that Lin Qi has the blood of the ancient Shennong clan?"
"I'm a farmer, I know this. Compared with imported grain seeds, the performance of Linxu Group's seeds is not inferior. The most important point is that the taste and flavor are excellent, which is incomparable to the grains of all other countries. Moreover, the seeds of Linxu Group can continue to be cultivated in the second year, but the harvest is slightly less than the first year. But compared with the original varieties, the yield is still much higher. It's a pity that the seeds supplied by Linxu Group are limited, and the quantity that each household can purchase is also limited."
"No wonder. I was wondering why some of the same food tastes so good while others are bland and tasteless. The difference is so great. So that's it."
"So Lin Qi really has Shennong's bloodline. She protected our native original varieties and improved them."
"．．．．．．．．"
"I've learned a lot today. The Linxu Group is much greater than I thought."
“That’s a great family!”
Lin Qi's family, who were talked about by netizens, were having a party at home at this time.
Lin Qi, who was in her seventies, looked only in her early twenties. Xu Hexiao, who was also in his seventies, looked only in his thirties.
The seven children look younger than their peers, but older than their parents.
Seven children have already started families and have their own children, and some of them have also started their own families. Now there are about 20 to 30 people gathered together.
"Your father and I are going to leave the capital." Lin Qi said.
"Don't you travel all over the country every year? Why did you specially notify us today?" Lao Qi was puzzled.
"Before, we would go for a few days and come back, but this time it's different. We'll be gone for a month."
"A month? For what? Mom and Dad, you're not going on a honeymoon, are you?" He remembered his father once mentioned that he envied the young people nowadays who could go on a honeymoon after getting married. His father's face was full of longing at the time.
"That's about right." It was Xu Hexiao who answered, his brows gentle, "Your mother has accepted a mission to protect those endangered plants."
As for how to protect them, everyone present knew it well. Just ask their mother to produce more.
"We need to travel all over the country, to the mountains, to the plains, to the primeval forests... We can treat it as traveling. It just so happens that your mother and I rarely have time to travel, so this is an opportunity."
Looking at their father's smiling face, the children were filled with envy.
"Dad, we want to travel with you too."
"Okay." Xu Hexiao agreed readily, "As long as you can get away."
Children who are always busy and wish they could have no rest all year round: "..."
Let’s just forget it.
In this mission, Xu Hexiao's main task was to accompany and take care of Lin Qi. He prepared everything very well, including airplanes, helicopters, RVs and other means of transportation. When the road conditions were bad, they would take a helicopter and land directly in the mountains and forests; when the road conditions were good and the scenery was nice, they would drive, enjoy the scenery along the way, and camp by the way.
The journey of the two was leisurely and pleasant. There was no one to disturb them and no clutter. They were just like a pair of free and easy people.
"Do you like this kind of life?" Xu Hexiao asked, looking at Lin Qi with a smile on her face.
Lin Qi nodded, "I like it."
"When I get back, I will hand over the work I have on hand and take you around the country and around the world."
"OK."
