Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Lou Tan took Sisi away, leaving enough space for the two of them

By the time Lou Xiao'e was paralyzed on the bed, Lou Huaijin had already returned and the dinner was ready downstairs.

Zhang Renkang smiled and held Sisi in his arms. Lou Xiao'e upstairs didn't have the energy to come down to eat, so he had to ask Lou Tanshi to bring it up to her.

Lou Huaijin sighed

"I can't believe you can escape from this domestic situation?"

"How is everything going in the country?"

Although Lou Huaijin was in Hong Kong, he already had his own information channels in the city. Not to mention that he had become one of the domestic transit centers in Hong Kong Island and was highly valued by the upper class. The ancestral home and small villa that had been confiscated in the city were sealed and protected.

So he has some understanding of the domestic situation.

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

“Everything is fine”

"I am now a deputy department-level cadre, and I have planned and built the first civilian automobile manufacturing plant in China, Xinxing Automobile Manufacturing Plant."

"Although there is some unrest in the country right now, the leadership is stable and under control."

Lou Huaijin smiled and said something inexplicably.

"Before, we were completely close to the North, so naturally those who came to power were pro-North forces."

"Ever since the beginning of the tension between the two sides, they have been at loggerheads, and all it takes is one uncontrolled bullet to start a war."

"In order to unite the front and concentrate our forces to fight, we had to suppress the Northern faction that had occupied a high position in the past few years."

“Can the country be stable?”

Zhang Renkang was silent. How could he explain this?

There are only pros and cons in politics, no right or wrong

He sighed and then said

"I am here to represent the country in a new round of equipment and technology procurement."

"On the one hand, we examine the external markets and the results of industrial development in other countries"

"The country has now entered a bottleneck period. If we want to break through, we can only rely on introducing new industrial development experience and innovation."

Lou Huaijin nodded, sighed and said

“The technology out there is advancing too fast.”

"Take steel manufacturing for example. When Louji Steel Plant was first established, it introduced a large number of Hans equipment, and later introduced Japanese equipment."

“Although the output is not large, the technology is not far behind the latest international developments.”

"But now it's different. When I first arrived in Hong Kong, I heard that the United States had developed a new special alloy steel. Through special treatment of molten iron, the steel produced has stronger pressure resistance and can be used in the manufacture of deep-sea submarines and spacecraft."

"There is also a super alloy developed by the Gaul Steel Group, which can be used to make drills to dig tunnels deep in the mountains."

"Especially the topic of America's space travel has been very popular recently."

“I don’t know how far China has developed. If it continues to be closed off, the technological gap with the outside world will grow larger and larger sooner or later.”

Zhang Renkang nodded. The current technological gap between China and the United States is an objective event. They can only continue to break through it. There is nothing much to say.

"Dad, do you have any information channels among the upper echelons of Hong Kong Island?"

Lou Huaijin nodded and said with a smile

"I've been doing quite a bit of business in the last few years, and I have a few friends in high places who can help me."

Lou Huaijin not only smuggled goods for domestic transit, but also opened several factories in Hong Kong Island. In particular, Zhang Renkang suggested a few years ago that he hoarded a lot of land when the land price was not hyped up. In recent years, he has been selling them while relying on the previous and current network of relationships of the Lou family to start involving in the real estate industry. The Lou family is now a well-known figure in Hong Kong Island.

Zhang Renkang whispered

"Try to find out who the person coming from John this time is."

"It would be best if we could find out what mission he came on."

"However, please take your own safety into consideration and do not force it."

Lou Huaijin nodded and said softly

"I heard that some important person came to John's country, and he is a member of the royal family."

“I just don’t know what his purpose is.”

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"It should be related to the inspection team coming from China this time."

“I just don’t know if it just represents John or if it has a deeper meaning.”

Lou Huaijin sighed and said

“I also heard some rumors.”

"The equipment purchased for China in recent years has attracted the attention of John's superiors, as well as the attention of North America."

"A friend reminded me that I'd better stay quiet during this period, otherwise they won't be able to protect me."

"I hope this isn't his purpose."

Lou Huaijin was a little worried. This was information he had paid a lot of money for.

In recent years, he has been able to transport materials to the country smoothly, thanks to the help of his friends who he bought off at a high price. Without their cover, they would not be able to avoid the patrols at sea in Hong Kong Island.

Lou Huaijin asked in a low voice

"Renkang, tell me the truth"

"You have no other purpose for coming to Hong Kong this time?"

Zhang Renkang smiled and shook his head and said

“I don’t have any other purpose for now.”

“If I say yes, these are my personal thoughts.”

"I plan to open a car manufacturing plant in Hong Kong Island, responsible for assembling parts shipped from China, and selling them to Hong Kong Island, Southeast Asian countries, and even Europe and America under a different name."

"You also know that our domestic market cannot support too much production capacity."

Lou Huaijin frowned and asked doubtfully

"Isn't this possible?"

"The Johns will not allow trade with the mainland"

"Don't even mention industrial products. Even farmers' markets and light industries are strictly checking those coming from the mainland."

"How could he allow you to set up a factory in Hong Kong Island?"

Zhang Renkang laughed disdainfully, and then sneered

"Does the Hong Kong government really have the determination to ban mainland production of agricultural products?"

"I really don't believe this. Could it be that all the water used in Hong Kong Island is pumped from seawater?"

"The vegetables and eggs we eat are all shipped from John?"

"Without the mainland's supply, they would have been finished long ago."

"Otherwise, do you think they really don't know what you are transporting? How can they allow you to smuggle it to the mainland?"

Lou Huaijin thought about it and nodded, then listened to Zhang Renkang continue

“It’s not that I set up a factory in Hong Kong Island.”

"It's the Lou family, or the Huo family"

"The best thing for Hong Kong bulls to do is to pretend not to see it."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't think that this tiny place can stop anything?"

Lou Huaijin asked doubtfully

"Huo family?"

"Is it the Huo family from Haiyun? The current president of the Real Estate Association?"

Zhang Renkang nodded, smiled and explained

"Don't think that the Lou family is the only choice above."

"In fact, this place will be taken back sooner or later. Everything here belongs to China."

“There are more than one smart person who can see the situation clearly”

"The best way for you and the Lou family now is to act as a pair of white gloves for the mainland in Hong Kong and do your best to solve some of the difficulties in the country."

"In the future, you will be the ones being held high. This is the safest way to completely sever the Lou family's ties with history and land safely."

"Dad, you'd better not have any other thoughts"

"Compared to most people who are forgotten by history, you are lucky enough"

Zhang Renkang was not only building a base upstairs just now, but also learned from Lou Xiaoe about the Lou family's situation in recent years.

Lou Huaijin may want to take root in Hong Kong Island. After completing the original accumulation, he has more ideas in his mind. Even his so-called upper-class friend in Hong Kong Island is John's Governor's Office in Hong Kong.

Lou Huaijin wants to play with fire, Zhang Renkang must make him realize it clearly

Playing two games at the same time is a dead end

The Lou family is not qualified to have it all their own way
