Rebirth: My 80s

Jin Changyuan and others came out of the hotel with dejected looks and did not return directly.

Their driver, Peter, was a Chinese born in America. Although he knew no more about the country than they did, fortunately he could speak Chinese.

Under Jin Changyuan's instructions, Peter drove to the Laoda Bridge.

There are several shops selling folk products.

Jin Changyuan and others have been in Huiyang County for several months and have become quite familiar with this small county town.

Jinyuan Pavilion.

The largest folk supplies store at Laodaqiaotou.

Peter translated the store name to Jin Changyuan.

Can this be taken anywhere else?

With Peter as the translator, Kim Chang-won and his three companions quickly started a conversation with the boss.

The boss was a middle-aged man who loved to laugh. He was bald, fat and had big ears. He looked very much like a white porcelain statue of Maitreya Buddha on the shelf.

"Boss, may I ask who is Daozu?"

The shelves in the store were almost filled with gods and Buddhas, and Jin Changyuan and the other three were dazzled.

"Daozu?"

The boss smiled and said, "Daozu is everywhere."

Hey!

Jin Changyuan and his companions looked at each other, and they all guessed that this might be the supreme god of China.

Weird but not that weird.

At Jin Changyuan's suggestion, Peter said, "We want to buy—"

"Be careful!"

The boss interrupted him with a stern face, saying, "If you want to go back and offer sacrifices, you have to say 'please'."

"Oh." Peter quickly changed his words and said he wanted to invite one home.

The boss smiled again, motioned them to wait, and then went to the inner room and took out a red lacquer tray covered with a red silk cloth:

"Since you are foreign guests, I took out this golden statue because it is rare for you to have such a heart."

"set?"

Swish!

The boss lifted the red silk cloth and saw three gilded statues inside.

"These... three? Who is the Dao Ancestor?"

"All."

"???"

"The so-called one qi transforming into three pure ones... you don't understand, right? Come on, let me explain it to you." The boss started talking.

But he is really good at speaking.

He not only narrated but also made gestures, and from time to time there were some powerful accompaniment sounds of "swish", "whoosh", "bang" and "ka".

Jin Changyuan and the other three were stunned when they heard this.

Jin Changyuan suddenly said: "I understand, just like my Lord, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, each of them is the same entity, with the same essence and authority."

Peter translated this sentence.

Boss: "Lord? Christ?"

"of course."

"Excuse me, it really doesn't look like it. If you compare it with Christ and Daozu, it's too small."

Jin Changyuan and other three were furious!

The boss didn't expect them to react so strongly. He just wanted to sell it at a high price... He quickly said, "That's not what I said. History can prove it."

Jin Changyuan said angrily: "How do you prove it?"

The boss asked, “When was Christ born?”

"What kind of question is that? Of course it's the first century! The AD calendar starts with the birth year of our Lord Jesus!"

Snapped!

The boss clapped his hands and said, "Isn't this settled? Then do you know what year is the first century AD in China?"

Jin Changyuan and his three companions looked at each other, unable to answer.

The boss asked himself and answered: "Western Han Dynasty.

"Let me give you a brief account of China's history."

The boss counted on his fingers and said, "Look, there is Qin above the Western Han Dynasty. You must have heard of Qin Shi Huang. I am not making this up. He was born earlier than your Christ."

Jin Changyuan and the other three were stunned and couldn't say anything to refute.

"Before the Qin Dynasty, there was the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which was divided into the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which lasted about 300 years and 250 years respectively.

"The Eastern Zhou dynasty was preceded by the Western Zhou dynasty, which also lasted nearly three hundred years.

"The Western Zhou dynasty was followed by the Shang dynasty, which lasted 550 years.

"After Shang, there was Xia, which lasted for nearly 500 years..."

Jin Changyuan and the other three felt their scalps tingling after hearing this.

What the boss said is all supported by historical evidence. For example, Jin Changyuan had seen pottery and bronze artifacts from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties of China in New York.

Just this calculation.

The Shang Dynasty of this country existed nearly two thousand years before the birth of Christ.

But the boss wasn't done yet...

"There was an ancient time above the Shang Dynasty. This is amazing. We don't know how many years it was. There were no written records at the time, or any other records, but people who came after them could not even notice it. There is a story about the connection between heaven and earth. If you are interested, I will tell you about it later. Anyway, you only need to know one thing: people who came after them had less and less magical powers and became more and more ordinary.

"There is an ancient time even beyond the ancient times. I can only describe it as 'long-lasting'.

"There is still chaos above the ancient times—"

"Stop, stop, stop." Jin Changyuan interrupted him and said, "Just tell me when the Taoist Ancestor was born."

"I was just about to say it."

The boss said: "The beginning of the ancient times."

Seeing Jin Changyuan's dull expression.

The boss asked: "I said that you are comparing it this way, it is smaller, is that okay?"

Jin Changyuan: “…”

Two hours later.

Jin Changyuan personally held the red lacquered wooden tray and carefully returned to a black Crown sedan.

The boss said that these three Taoist statues were destined to be with them, so he gave them the tray and red silk cloth. He did not ask them for money, saying that the cost of inviting the gods should be based on the intention, and the gods will know.

It seems particularly exquisite.

As we all know, Tongyi Sect has a tradition of being keen on donations...

So Jin Changyuan emptied his wallet.

At the entrance of Jinyuan Pavilion.

The boss watched them go away, smiling broadly, looking more and more like Maitreya Buddha, and uttered two words with a smile: "idiot."

After saying that, he slipped back into the store and started looking for boards to seal the door.

What business are you doing today?

Counting money is important!

……

……

The newly completed county party committee building in Huiyang.

It has now been transferred to Panda Automobile Company as its office location.

third floor.

In the largest office.

On the wall to the left of the entrance, there is a huge rosewood cross hanging.

There is a tea table under the cross. Now the tea sets on the table have been cleared away and replaced with golden statues of the three ancestors of Taoism.

That night.

Around ten o'clock at night.

It was noon in the United States.

Jin Changyuan sat in the black boss chair behind the mahogany desk, holding a white microphone in his hand, reporting the situation in a serious tone.

"Jin Yuan, have your beliefs changed?"

An old and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

Jin Changyuan shuddered and subconsciously looked at the tea table: "No, absolutely not! But, Your Holiness, Jack Lee did perform a miracle, and I was not the only one who witnessed it. The three of them were present at the time.

“And Jack Lee himself admitted that he was able to achieve such success at such a young age because he had divine help.

"Your Holiness, think about this person. Doesn't he become more and more outrageous the more you think about him?"

After a short silence, the other end of the phone said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. I will figure it out. The key issue now is Panda Auto's investment project."

"Your Holiness, it's impossible."

Jin Changyuan said in a deep voice: "Jack Lee has already reported it to the higher-ups. They are so mean. They knew it but said nothing.

"They know our plan very well. How could they let us do what we want?"

Wen Xianming's voice suddenly turned cold in the microphone: "You mean, we are going to throw away 2.5 million US dollars?!"

Jin Changyuan said with sweat on his forehead, "I hope Your Holiness will give me some advice. I...we really don't know what to do now."

Boom!

The sound of breaking glass came from the microphone.

A long time, a long time.

Wen Xianming probably reviewed everything and said in a cold voice, "Jack Lee was the one who sabotaged this, so he must be held responsible!

“He’s obviously got a lot of energy in that country.

"You can go and tell him that we should withdraw.

“But, the $2.5 million must be returned to us.

"Otherwise, let Jack Lee wait to bear the wrath of my three million followers!"

Jin Changyuan hesitated and said, "Jack Lee said that this was not his intention, but he had to do this because he received an oracle from God."

"heresy!

“What nonsense!

"There is no other true God in the world who can give oracles!"

Wen Xianming flew into a rage and said, “I told you that you were bewitched by him. I will find out why.

"You don't have to be afraid of him, the Lord will bless you."

At this point, the voice of the literature name softened:

"Changyuan, you have to understand that this $2.5 million is church property, which was gathered together by countless church members.

“They trusted the Lord so much, and they trusted you and me so much.

"In order to follow the path guided by the Lord, many church members have gone far away and started a new life, which requires money as a foundation.

"If $2.5 million is lost, many church members will not even have the most basic living security. Is this what you want to see?"

Jin Changyuan: "Of course not!"

"Then do as I say. I remember there is a saying in that country, 'Begin with courtesy before force.'"

"Yes!"

……

……

Li Jiankun does not have a base in Huizhou for the time being, so it is not as easy as it is for Jin Changyuan to make an international long-distance call to the United States.

Of course, he could also go to TCL.

Just think about the sensation it would cause over there.

I still prefer the Post Office.

"Pledge all your assets in the United States?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Jingyan's voice was filled with astonishment, and she emphasized the word "all".

Assets are usually pledged for capital turnover.

Is the master short of money?

"Longteng 1, released by Huadian, caused quite a stir internationally, you must be aware of this.

"But there are some things you don't know..."

Li Jiankun explained it in detail.

Liu Jingyan suddenly realized what was going on. After a moment of silence, she said, "We are not here for nothing. How can a semiconductor association be so powerful as to cause the US to take advantage of your assets in the US?"

“First, no matter how powerful the Semiconductor Association is, high-tech is valued by every country.

"Second, I don't trust this country. Even if this incident didn't happen, we should have taken precautions. It's not like they haven't done this before, raising pigs and cutting their meat."

Li Jiankun's plan was simple.

Mortgage all assets in the United States.

All of his assets are high-quality, some of which are so tempting that people will drool. He is not afraid that no one will take them.

Then deposit all the money into the Bank of China in New York.

It is also my country's first bank in the United States, established in 1981.

In this way, if the US wants to do something weird, it will target its own financial institutions.

Li Jiankun only needs to pay a certain amount of interest.

But the mere interest is easy to earn from his high-quality assets in Midea as long as they operate stably.

Using their money and giving them a little interest is of no use.

What you get in return is absolute safety.

"Okay, I understand." Liu Jingyan said on the other end of the phone.

“But we must act quickly. It’s best to get it done with lightning speed. Don’t let those who are now in conflict with me come to their senses, otherwise I’m afraid some trouble will arise.” Li Jiankun said.

Liu Jingyan smiled bitterly and said, "It's easy for you to say that. He has assets worth hundreds of billions of US dollars."

"They are all good assets. You can do it, believe in yourself."

"hehe."
