Rebirth: My 80s

Since finding out about Li Jiankun's situation.

Lai Zhongmin's mental journey can be divided into four main stages.

It was shocking at first.

And then anger.

The next thing I came up with was the excitement of coming up with a strategy to have the best of both worlds.

Now, after submitting the proposal letter incorporating the contents of the report to the higher authorities, I feel even more satisfied.

In other words, Lai Zhongmin was in a very good mood at the moment.

He believed that he had uncovered a giant monster that had been hidden deep inside the country.

Removing it can restore fairness to the people.

You can also explode gold coins.

Although he had been discussing this matter with his colleagues in the 863 Program Coordination Department over the past few days, there was one thing Lai Zhongmin kept in his heart:

He thinks he has made a great contribution.

At the same time, Lai Zhongmin also felt that there was no need to say anything.

Once there is action from above, his contribution will naturally be revealed.

A black Santana with a red license plate and yellow letters drove into the Science and Technology Commission compound.

The above actions came faster than Lai Zhongmin had imagined.

Only one person got off the car.

He is a middle-aged man with a white face and no beard.

In the 863 Project Coordination Department, other people deliberately avoided it.

The middle-aged man looked at Lai Zhongmin:

"Are you Lai Zhongmin?"

"Exactly."

"Besides you, who else knows the contents of the letter?"

Lai Zhongmin thought he was trying to confirm the authenticity of the content, and said righteously: "Everyone in the Coordination Department knows that I specifically notified Li Jiankun to come over that day, and called everyone in the Coordination Department together to question Li Jiankun face to face.

"Although he was evasive and didn't dare admit it.

"But whether in expression or behavior, it is undoubtedly tantamount to acquiescence.

"In addition, I have investigated carefully and have solid evidence to prove that he and Hong Kong's richest man, Li Jiankun, are the same person!"

The middle-aged man asked expressionlessly: "Where is the evidence?"

"In my office."

"bring here."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Lai Zhongmin rushed back to the temporary office arranged for him by the Science and Technology Commission and took out a large, bulging yellow envelope.

He thought the other party would be eager to check it out.

But he stuffed it directly into the black leather briefcase and said:

"Now, go and notify everyone in the Coordination Department to come over."

"Everyone?"

"Correct."

"But, some people may not be in the Science and Technology Commission now."

"Call and have them come over immediately."

Lai Zhongmin thought about it and said, "Okay!"

……

After the people from the Coordination Department gathered together.

click!

The middle-aged man walked to the door and locked the red-painted solid wooden door.

When this voice fell into the ears of everyone in the Coordination Department, most of them inexplicably felt their hearts tremble.

Only Lai Zhongmin still looked excited.

He brought a chair with an armchair and placed it in the middle of the room: "Please sit down."

When the middle-aged man came back, he glanced at him and said, "Sit down by yourself."

Lai Zhongmin smiled but did not sit down.

The middle-aged man looked around the room and said slowly:

"First of all, I want to say a few things to you all. Maybe there will be some questions for you to think about."

Everyone nodded and listened attentively.

“1. You are all scientists, so you should know more about lithography machines than I do.

"I don't know if you understand how difficult it is to develop this kind of equipment."

A middle-aged man asks himself and answers:

“Since the early 1960s, a number of scientific research institutions across the country, led by the Institute of Semiconductors of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have begun to work together to develop photolithography machines.

“It took 20 years to successfully develop the second-generation lithography machine, and the third-generation lithography machine cannot be considered a complete success.

“What I want to talk about is not a technical problem.

“Do you understand the investment that goes into this?

“Has anyone ever thought about how much money a Chinese Silicon Valley company invested in developing the fourth-generation lithography machine, something that even money can’t buy?

"It has now been proven that my country's lithography technology is the best in the world, and the honor belongs to us.

“So where does this investment come from?

"Will the profits from spending so much money to develop a product like lithography machines, which has very low demand, be greater than if businessmen took the same amount of money and invested it in other fields?"

Most of the people in the Coordination Department had thoughtful expressions on their faces.

Lai Zhongmin's eyelids twitched wildly and he thought, why are you saying this?

Something is not right with the development of things...

"2. You all should know that there is a Huadian Chip Industrial Park in Pengcheng Special Economic Zone.

“On paper, the investment has reached hundreds of millions, and some things, such as high-end equipment, cannot be bought with money.

“Although the pager business of the Special Zone Huadian Company is also quite profitable, I can tell you clearly:

“Overall, the company has been losing money.

“Under this circumstance, the SAR has not suffered any loss, and has received a huge amount of money from the company every year.

"Does anyone understand why?"

The middle-aged man glanced at everyone present, and then continued to ask and answer himself:

“Because Huadian is in charge of the investment, and everyone shares the profit.

“The Special Administrative Region takes 51 percent.”

Most people in the Coordination Department were moved.

Lai Zhongmin frowned.

"3. There is a description in the letter - 'engage in capitalism'. What does it mean to engage in capitalism? The commercial sector also has companies in Hong Kong City. If we use this term..."

Lai Zhongmin: “!!!”

“You have to understand that Hong Kong itself is a capitalist society.

“Developing there naturally follows its social nature and rules.

“I can tell you something:

“As everyone knows, China Merchants Group undertook the development of Shekou, and the capital investment was huge, and it was originally more than it earned.

“But now, Shekou is developing very well and very quickly.

"The reason why the funds were solved so quickly was that someone transferred 1% of the shares of a company with assets of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to China Merchants Group for Hong Kong dollar."

Everyone in the Coordination Department opened their eyes wide in astonishment.

There is no need to think about who this someone is.

Lai Zhongmin had sweat on his forehead, but he seemed to have something to say, but he held back and didn't interrupt the middle-aged man.

“4. The suggestions mentioned in that letter are simple.

“Let’s assume, what would happen if this suggestion were really followed?

"Honestly, it's hard to speculate. Let's start with something that doesn't require any imagination."

"First, even if that person has 10 billion US dollars in assets, they are overseas. Can he take them back just because he wants to?"

"Secondly, a person like that can be said to be someone that any country or region would be willing to welcome—"

The middle-aged man paused here, looked at Lai Zhongmin, and then glanced at the others:

“If we happen to have deep prejudices.

"Are you going to force him and his family to... leave?"

Now not only Lai Zhongmin was sweating on his forehead.

The same goes for other people in the Coordination Department.

The middle-aged man looked at everyone in the Coordination Department with a deep gaze, and finally stopped at Lai Zhongmin:

“Here’s what I need to say:

"This man is indeed an outlier, but I haven't seen him cause any harm. On the contrary, he has brought a lot of benefits. His patriotism is beyond doubt.

"Since he is an outlier, why don't we look at him with normal eyes? Why not look at him as a returned overseas Chinese? After all, if he wants to become such an overseas Chinese, it is just a matter of raising his hand."

Everyone in the Coordination Department had a solemn expression and no one missed a word.

Returned overseas Chinese?

After everyone thought about it.

Suddenly, things became completely different...

Lai Zhongmin's body trembled slightly. After seeing the middle-aged man finally stop talking, he hesitated for a long time before saying:

“But, after all, he is not.

“Why do you have to assume this?

"Why should he be treated specially?"

A hint of anger appeared on the middle-aged man's face, which had never been happy or sad:

“So all the things I said above are just talking to a cow?

"Why?

"What he has done is beneficial to the country!

“By his ability!

“Don’t you scientists also have special allowances?

"Have you enjoyed it? If you are able to enjoy it, it is a special treatment!"

Lai Zhongmin: “…”

speechless.

The middle-aged man seemed to see through his thoughts and asked in a deep voice: "Why, do you think you have discovered some huge conspiracy? Do you think the higher-ups know nothing about this person?"

Lai Zhongmin's body shook.

Almost fell down.

The middle-aged man ignored him and looked around:

“This matter ends here.

"This matter has nothing to do with this door."

……

……

After receiving the notice again, I came to the Science and Technology Commission.

Li Jiankun clearly noticed that he was treated very differently.

how to say……

Everyone spoke in a pleasant and enthusiastic manner.

It makes people not want to leave...

It was still the same conference room where Lai Zhongmin made a big scene last time and tried to create the effect of an interrogation.

It’s still the same people from the Coordination Department last time.

However, Li Jiankun discovered that one was missing without having to count them carefully.

I didn’t see Lai Zhongmin.

"Comrade Jiankun, all the staff of the Coordination Department are here today, and I have notified you to come here because there are a few things."

Li Jiankun had a good impression of the person who was speaking. His surname was Zheng.

Old Zheng smiled and said:

"First of all, we want to apologize to you for what happened before..."

"Let's not talk about it." Li Jiankun smiled back and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay.

He knew something had happened.

Rather than bringing up the bad things that happened that day.

He cares more about this.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Lao Zheng said with a smile.

The expressions of the others were similar.

Because if you look at the tall young man in front of you from the perspective of a "returned overseas Chinese".

What he has done is enough to inspire respect.

Even feel grateful and thankful.

Of course, we can't completely view him in this capacity.

Everyone's eyes fell on him, still as if they were witnessing a miracle.

so young.

He doesn't have any prominent family background.

He owns tens of billions of U.S. dollars in assets.

Hundreds of companies.

Isn't this a miracle?

Anyway, none of them could imagine how this young man did it.

Lao Zheng continued, "In addition, we want to inform you: Congratulations, you have become the person in charge of two large-scale integrated circuit theme projects in the 863 plan."

done?

Li Jiankun opened his eyes wide.

To be honest, after Lai Zhongmin’s last disturbance, he no longer had any hope.

This also made Li Jiankun even more curious about what had happened.

Although he had some speculations, he still wanted to know the details.

This is very important to him!

It is important in terms of practical significance.

It is also important on a spiritual level.

However, they stopped talking.

They came up one by one to congratulate each other, shook hands, and said nothing else.

This made Li Jiankun very anxious!

He simply pulled Lao Zheng aside and asked in a low voice.

Old Zheng pretended to be quiet and refused to talk. After he could no longer bear his constant nagging, he glanced in the direction of the Forbidden City without saying a word.

Li Jiankun's heart was filled with emotion.

Even though it was the same as he guessed.

but.

How to say it... In this era, someone like him who is different can receive such care and trust.

The feeling needs to be magnified ten thousand times.

Li Jiankun was very emotional. He looked around the conference room, looking at everyone in the Coordination Department.

They are all insiders.

They are also the overall person in charge of the 863 Project.

So, there are things that I had ideas about before but didn’t dare to put into action.

Can you... do it now?

This is the thought.

Li Jiankun retracted his gaze from the direction of the Forbidden City:

"Everyone.

"I have an idea and I hope you can help me realize it."

The conference room fell silent.

The people in the Coordination Department looked at him with puzzled expressions, waiting for what to say next.

"I think we should allocate 863 billion RMB to support the implementation of the Plan. Hmm... billion per year."

Everyone in the Coordination Department: “!!!”

If I didn't know he really had it.

I had to call the mental hospital.

Old Zheng's eyes almost popped out of his head: "Comrade Jiankun, are you serious?!"

"It is an honor to be able to contribute a little to the great cause of the country. How dare I joke about it?"

Snapped!

Clap clap clap clap!

I don't know who took the lead in applauding.

Soon there was thunderous applause in the conference room.

Everyone in the Coordination Department was overjoyed and looked at Li Jiankun with gratitude and respect.

"Hi, hi."

Li Jiankun was a little overwhelmed, so he waved his hand to interrupt her, and said with a smile: "Actually, how much of this money can you use yourself? Of course, you should use it for meaningful things."

Wait until the melons in your daily life are ripe.

Ten billion RMB is nothing to him.

Even now.

Pay the first billion for the first year first.

He doesn't even have to touch the money from abroad.

You can go directly to Huaqiang Taikoo Bank in the Special Administrative Region to withdraw the money. The profit from foreign exchange trading in the past two years is enough for you.

Lao Zheng: "Comrade Jiankun, I am proud. I am proud."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was lively and everyone was laughing.
