Chapter 305 Overwhelming Strength! My Brother Long Only Wants to Defy Fate!
Zhao Lichun burst into laughter.
He was initially worried that his son would fly into a rage.
After all, let alone the children of the powerful and wealthy, no one likes to be exposed as having been to prison or being called a labor camp inmate.
Moreover, the son has devoted too much energy and money to Huilong Group to achieve its current scale, treating it like a precious treasure, yet it has been smeared by Hong Kong's "Mirror Weekly".
The result is now...
Instead of getting angry, the son complained that the articles in Mirror Weekly were not good enough and even wanted to provide some material himself so he could write an article to retaliate against certain people.
"Dad, what are you laughing at? You've been deeply involved in Handong for so many years, you must have a lot of dirt on him..."
Zhao Ruilong was interrupted by Zhao Lichun before he could finish speaking.
"He was transferred from Sichuan, so I don't really know him very well."
Zhao Ruilong asked urgently, "Then who among us knows him well?"
Zhao Lichun said, "I don't know about that. Zhong Zhengguo was the one who transferred him here."
Upon hearing that it was Zhong Zhengguo...
Zhao Ruilong immediately smiled.
Isn't this a coincidence?
Zhong Xiaoai is currently working at Huilong Group!
"Okay, then I know who to ask."
"Wait a moment!"
Zhao Lichun hurriedly exclaimed, "When we discussed writing proposals and reports before, I knew you were quite capable. If you were to put your words into action, they would definitely be more sophisticated than the criticisms in 'Mirror Weekly'."
"However, I think that since you're not angry, there's no need to retaliate. Otherwise, it could easily lead to an endless war of words, and you'd also seem petty and narrow-minded."
Zhao Ruilong raised an eyebrow.
"From what you're saying, you have a more ingenious method?"
"That's for sure!"
Zhao Lichun said with a smile:
"Have you forgotten why I came to Yanjing?"
"If our Handong is to serve as a testing ground for so many new laws, it will inevitably cause quite a stir."
"If the test goes well, we'll take the credit; if it doesn't go well, won't we just make him the scapegoat?"
When chatting with his beloved son, Zhao Lichun naturally didn't have as many reservations or formalities.
Not only did they avoid using bureaucratic jargon, but they also spoke very frankly.
His simple words immediately enlightened Zhao Ruilong.
Ginger, indeed, the older the better!
Zhao Lichun has been in politics for over twenty years, and naturally, he has also been engaged in political struggles for over twenty years.
Over the years, they have accumulated a wealth of experience in struggle.
The common mindset is that if you are attacked by an enemy, you should fight back.
However, Zhao Lichun's "counterattack" was to leverage his higher rank and use the "enemy" as a tool.
This way, one can not only reap the benefits without sowing, but also have someone to take the blame if problems arise. It is obviously much more sophisticated than simply condemning someone outright.
As for resistance...
How to resist?
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death!
Moreover, Zhao Lichun is the top leader of Handong.
He wielded absolute power in the region of Handong.
In addition, Handong shoulders the important task of being a pilot area for developing a high-quality economy and the strategy of military-civilian integration.
Since it's a pilot program, what's wrong with implementing some new policies and enacting some new laws?
Can some people really disobey orders?
If he dared to disobey orders, it would only give his father, Zhao Lichun, a reason to take him down.
and so……
What is an open strategy?
This is an unsolvable, openly calculated scheme!
Making the most of the 'enemy' is obviously better than verbally abusing them.
Even if you verbally abuse someone until they're furious, it only provides temporary relief.
Not only will it bring no real benefits, but it will also make people from other provinces laugh at it, thinking that the leadership in Handong is not united.
This forces the enemy to obey orders even when they are clearly dissatisfied.
There are no rewards for doing things well, and you get punished for doing things wrong.
If you're not convinced, you can rightfully take him down.
That's obviously much more enjoyable!
Thinking about this, Zhao Ruilong suddenly understood.
No wonder Qi Tongwei, who is eager to make progress, is so keen to find a powerful backer.
Looking back now, I realize that having ability alone isn't enough to succeed within the system.
As he said, heroes are nothing more than tools in the face of power.
Only by attaching oneself to greater power can one gain recognition and be given important responsibilities, thus rising rapidly in rank.
Otherwise, what's the use of fighting a bloody battle at Lone Eagle Ridge and becoming a drug-fighting hero who was shot three times?
As for offending someone with more power.
Don't even think about getting ahead until the other person is transferred; you'll be lucky if you don't get killed.
Just like now.
Even though Huo Siteng is the top official in Jingzhou City, his position and rank are not low.
But compared to his father, Zhao Lichun...
He was still like an ant, easily crushed.
If we want to take action against the Zhao family, we can only use this as an excuse to target Du Bozhong.
He only dared to use the Hong Kong newspaper "Mirror Weekly" to smear the Zhao family.
He only dares to play some petty tricks; how could he dare to confront him openly?
Even so, as long as his father was still in Handong, he could not make any progress and could be persecuted at any time.
This is why, in the original drama, Wu Huifen once advised Gao Yuliang.
Facing Sha Ruijin, the top leader who has won the trust of the higher-ups and was parachuted into Handong, one must be mindful of one's position.
She said that you have to follow the instructions of the top leader whether you understand them or not. Going against the top leader will never end well.
In response, Gao Yuliang, who was already the third-in-command in Handong and wielded considerable power, could only look helpless and say that he did not oppose the top leader, but the top leader wanted to get rid of him, and did so without making a sound...
"Great, great, this is a really good trick! It's much more satisfying than publishing an article to criticize him!"
Zhao Lichun laughed and said, "Are you completely not angry now?"
"Why are you angry? I'm not a child. I've always known that no matter what happens, there's no need to get so angry. It won't hurt anyone, and it will only make you uncomfortable. So why bother?"
Seeing Qin Shuang bring in a stack of documents, Zhao Ruilong immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Alright, Dad, I won't say any more. My second sister is still stuck in the US and hasn't come back yet. There are a lot of things at the company that I need to handle. You should hurry up and take care of your business too. We'll talk again when you get back!"
"Okay, I estimate I'll be back tomorrow. If you're too busy, have your second sister come back. I don't think hijackings are going to happen in the US anymore."
"Of course! The US has increased security checks since the incident, but it's late at night there, she's probably asleep. I'll call her later tonight!"
"Okay, you go ahead and get busy. I need to get ready for my meeting too."
Zhao Ruilong hummed in agreement twice, then hung up the phone and took the first folder Qin Shuang handed him.
"This is a construction progress report and payment request document from China Railway Construction Corporation regarding the first phase of the Yanhu High-speed Railway project."
"What about the back?"
"They're mostly requests for funding, including for aircraft engines, semiconductors, and communications..."
Zhao Ruilong's lips twitched slightly.
No wonder my second sister said she was under a lot of pressure.
Whenever I process documents, I'm basically bombarded with requests for money.
With money flowing out like water every day, who wouldn't feel stressed?
Moreover, the group is growing larger and larger, in addition to the companies it invests in.
With continuous mergers and acquisitions and talent recruitment.
The group's workforce alone has already exceeded 100,000.
Even if we only consider 100,000 people.
The salary and benefits are already the best in the industry in Handong, and everyone is also required to pay social insurance and housing fund contributions.
Among these 100,000 people, a considerable number are research-oriented and technical talents.
Especially those who research microelectronics, develop system software, and work on high-speed rail and large aircraft.
Which of these highly paid senior talents doesn't earn over 10,000 yuan a month?
Even if there are still quite a few, they are just ordinary workers on the production line.
However, the average salary and benefits expenditure per person is about six or seven thousand yuan.
In addition, meals and accommodation are provided, along with performance bonuses, subsidies, and so on.
Huilong Group's monthly labor costs are conservatively estimated at one billion yuan.
Not to mention the numerous scientific research projects and major engineering projects, which are like money-devouring beasts.
However, the group currently has few profitable projects.
Even though the chain internet cafe business is doing well, sales of mobile phones, computers, and MP3 players are still quite good.
However, the money earned from these businesses is barely enough to cover daily expenses, and the large amount of investment payments can only be used to live off savings.
Thankfully, he keeps bringing money back from abroad; otherwise, with such terrifying expenses, he would have gone bankrupt long ago.
of course.
His goal was to help his father, Zhao Lichun, improve his career and thus change his fate, not to make money.
That's why Huilong Group keeps investing heavily, provides its employees with excellent salaries and benefits, and resolutely refuses to outsource labor.
If it were truly about making money, why would there be a need to run Huilong Group?
With the advantages of being a time traveler, there are plenty of ways to make a lot of money.
Even if it's just buying gold and blue-chip stocks, or frantically hoarding houses and land in good locations before major cities develop, one can still make a fortune as the economy develops.
but……
Intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, unintentionally planting willows and willows make a shade.
Zhao Ruilong's original intention was not to make money, but simply to help his father achieve political success so that he could advance his career with his head held high.
But after more than a year of frantic investment...
We haven't made any money yet; we're still burning through cash.
However, Huilong Group, which burned through more than one trillion yuan, has now become a technology giant spanning multiple industries and fields.
From electronic information to medical devices, from aerospace to new energy, from high-speed rail to network communications...
Unbeknownst to them, with their unparalleled financial power and their own careful guidance, they gradually gained access to financial resources.
Numerous universities, research institutions, and state-owned enterprises followed Huilong Group's lead and worked at full speed.
A high-tech industry community of interests with a wide reach and great influence has been formed.
This rapidly developing community will accelerate the industrial transformation and upgrading of China, and enable "Made in China" products to make a faster and more powerful impact on the high-end market.
In other words.
Under its influence, the Dragon Kingdom of this world is developing at an even faster pace into an industrial powerhouse with a complete range of industrial sectors and a complete industrial chain.
From clothing, footwear, and daily necessities to electromechanical products and medical devices.
From consumer electronics and engineering equipment to automobiles, home appliances, airplanes, and ships.
From energy and electricity, and communication equipment, to weaponry and aerospace...
China's massive industrial capacity and abundant industrial products are sufficient to supply the entire world with the resources of a single nation. Moreover, the products are of high quality, low price, and plentiful, which will accelerate the demise of the West's high-tech advantage.
The rapid rise of China's comprehensive national strength will inevitably lead to a shorter honeymoon period with the United States, and a trade war will break out sooner. China, which wants to return to its peak, will also have to compete with the United States for geopolitical interests sooner.
The more Zhao Ruilong thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
