The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

Lin Zhiyuan stood at the door for a while, and just as he was about to turn around and return to the Beijing Office, the phone in his pocket rang again.

Tan Mingchun's voice came from the receiver, "Lin Zhiyuan, where are you? Lao Li and I are planning to celebrate for you."

Lin Zhiyuan understood as soon as he heard it. Tan Mingchun must have known about the meeting during the day.

"Forget it, I had a day of meetings today and I'm really tired. I want to go to bed early."

"Stop talking nonsense, you finally came to Yanjing, we have to meet, right?"

Lin Zhiyuan was helpless and had no choice but to tell her the address of the Beijing Office.

In less than half an hour, Tan Mingchun and Li Zhikun came over in a furious manner.

Lin Zhiyuan had already had dinner in the canteen of the Government Affairs Council, but these two people insisted on drinking with him to celebrate.

Lin Zhiyuan was dragged to a roadside stall not far from the Beijing Office.

The three rich men drank the cheapest beer and ate three skewers of mutton skewers for one dollar.

Li Zhikun wore a yellowed old man's shirt and a pair of flip-flops, but in his hand was a paper fan said to be inscribed by a famous artist and worth 10,000 yuan.

After a few glasses of beer, Li Zhikun started talking.

"Zhiyuan, congratulations. After today's incident, you have been completely recognized by the leaders, and there is more than one leader. These days, there are not many senior leaders who understand finance. At this point, you have already taken the lead. It’s a chance.”

Tan Mingchun curled his lips and said, "He is just the director of a steel factory. What's the use of knowing more about finance? If you ask me, why not take this opportunity to move somewhere quickly, or become a local mayor, or become a bank president?" Why don’t you have a better future working in steel than you?”

Lin Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing.

Li Zhikun shook his head, "Mingchun, I don't agree with your point of view. The project that Zhiyuan is currently managing is a national key project. It is the only large-scale steel company in South China. It attaches great importance to it from top to bottom. If Zhiyuan completes the project, it will have an intangible political asset. You must know that not everyone has the experience to fully direct such a large-scale project. There are countless mayors and governors across the country, and they will be thrown into the crowd. You can’t find it, and it’s incomparable to Zhiyuan. If you ask me, you should just settle down and complete the construction of this project. Whether you go into politics or continue to stay in a state-owned enterprise, this experience will be valuable to you.”

Tan Mingchun wanted to refute Li Zhikun's words, but she had to admit that what Li Zhikun said did make sense.

Seeing Lin Zhiyuan's official promotion getting higher and higher, Tan Mingchun's psychology was very complicated, and there was an inexplicable emotion floating around.

Lin Zhiyuan drank until midnight, returned to the Beijing Office and took a long nap. After getting up the next day, he took a flight back to Yangcheng.

When I got home and saw my parents, I naturally accepted another round of nagging from my mother.

There is no better mother than a son, Lin Zhiyuan coaxed Lin Xiufen into smiling with just a few words.

After entering July, the weather in Yangcheng has become even hotter.

Lin Zhiyuan asked the office to purchase a batch of ten drops of water, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, cooling oil and other medicines to prevent heatstroke and cool down. He also asked the canteen and Legang Supermarket to prepare ice-cold soda and mung bean soup and send them to the construction site every day.

Due to adequate preparation, there was no case of heatstroke on the entire construction site.

Everything is safe at the Yangcheng construction site, but thousands of miles away in the Nanyang area, it is like a boiling hot pot, rolling up and down, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

On July 11.5, the Philippines announced that it would allow the peso to be exchanged with the U.S. dollar within a wider range. On that day, the peso depreciated by 7%. On the same day, Malaysia raised bank interest rates to prevent further depreciation of the ringgit. India was forced to abandon the parity between its currency and the US dollar, and the Indian shield devalued by 2% from July 14 to 14.

International hot money sweeps through India, the Philippines, Myanmar, Malaysia and other countries like autumn leaves. The Indian shield, the Philippine peso, the kyat, and the Malaysian ringgit have all depreciated sharply, leading to the collapse of factories, bankruptcies, and rising prices. The international hot money hurricane that swept through Southeast Asia wiped away tens of billions of dollars of wealth in one fell swoop, turning decades of economic growth in these countries into ashes.

Everything was exactly as Lin Zhiyuan expected.

******

Time has entered the end of July.

The construction of ports and highways and railways entered the middle stage. Lin Zhiyuan and Yao Peichen discussed it and consulted Su Qiancheng's opinion, and decided to enter the construction stage of factories and office buildings.

Steel companies need some large-scale equipment. Because these equipments occupy too large an area, they need to be installed in advance before building the factory building. The construction sequence is different from that of ordinary buildings.

At present, the domestic production rate of Yangcheng Branch project equipment has reached more than 80%, but some key components still need to be imported.

After Lin Zhiyuan asked Jin Huaying for instructions, he decided to make an advance purchase of a batch of equipment that could not be produced domestically.

Because the production cycle of this kind of equipment is relatively long, and the fastest one will not be produced until half a year, so it must be ordered in advance.

After discussion at the conference call, it was decided that the troops would be divided into two groups. One group would be led by Yao Peichen and go to Dongsang Country to purchase a batch of equipment. The other group would be led by Lin Zhiyuan himself and go to Citigroup. The departure date was set for early August.

When Lin Zhiyuan mentioned this matter after returning home, Ning Xiufen immediately said, since you are going to Citi Country, then we will go back to Ge'an.

It's too hot here in Yangcheng and the air is humid. Xiao An is not accustomed to the climate and has eczema. Ning Xiufen has long wanted to go back.

Lin Zhiyuan and Su Jin discussed it. Since both parents were not accustomed to the climate in Yangcheng and both wanted to return to Ge'an, it would be better for Su Jin to take Asu back to Ge'an for a month and wait until the weather gets colder in September before returning.

Su Jin also agreed.

Yangcheng is really too hot. It's okay to have the air conditioner in the room, but once you go out, the burning feeling makes you breathless.

So Lin Zhiyuan put the whole family on the plane.

In early August, he took several staff members from the Equipment Department and the International Trade Company and set off for Citigroup.

The process of purchasing equipment went smoothly. This time the supplier they chose was Nucor Steel Company, the largest steel company in Citigroup, headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina.

In 1997, Sino-US relations were not as tense as they were in the later period, and steel equipment was not a high-tech embargoed product.

As long as you have money, Western capitalists will treat you like a guest.

In just a few days, Lesteel signed a purchase agreement with Nucor Steel.

After leaving North Carolina, Lin Zhiyuan took these people back to New York. He decided to stay in New York for a few more days.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, at the gate of Hettenham Securities on Wall Street, Lin Zhiyuan stood in the shadow of the high-rise building and waited patiently.

I don't know if he made enough money in Nanyang. Lin Zhiyuan felt that everyone walking on Wall Street was beaming with joy. Maybe this was just an illusion.

The door of the building opened, and the tall Ye Helena rushed out of the building, looking left and right, looking for Lin Zhiyuan.

Seeing the anxious look on her face, Lin Zhiyuan finally shouted behind him, "I'm here!"

Ye Helena turned around sharply and flew in front of Lin Zhiyuan like a whirlwind. She opened her arms and the two hugged each other.
