Minister Wu's eyes lit up, "Assistant Lin, do you have a solution?"

"Minister Wu, I think we can follow the example of the joint-stock system. The enterprises in the ministry should pool their capital first and determine the ownership of the rights and interests according to the investment ratio. How much can be pooled? I can find other companies to invest in the rest." Lin Zhiyuan smiled. "Ge Gang has an investment company, which I have been in charge of before. Although I have left now, I can still give me face. I can help contact them and see if they can provide some funds."

Lin Zhiyuan spoke very modestly and only mentioned that he would help make the contact, but Minister Wu knew that for a cadre of this level to say such things was basically true.

Minister Wu's face became serious. "Assistant Lin, do you think this portable music player project you proposed is a success?"

"Minister Wu, if you can make the product of high quality, I personally feel very confident." Lin Zhiyuan looked at Minister Wu and smiled mysteriously, "If the state had not expressly prohibited party members and cadres from investing in or holding shares in companies, I would personally want to invest a little."

It was this sentence that made Minister Wu make up his mind immediately. "Assistant Lin, it stands to reason that if a subordinate enterprise of the Ministry of Information Industry wants to set up a project with an investment of over 10 million yuan, it must go through layers of approval, and this also involves the issue of the enterprise system. But since you are so confident, what else can I say? Special matters will be handled specially. I will personally take charge of this project. Tomorrow I will call the heads of the subordinate enterprises to hold a meeting. I hope Assistant Lin can also attend. I will definitely give you a result within three days."

"Minister Wu, this project is not just about making money. I think we can use this project as a pilot. Before the entire ministry's enterprises are integrated, we can first conduct a small-scale experiment on a few companies. This will also provide valuable experience for the overall integration in the future. In addition, if this project is successful, it will also greatly boost the confidence of the major enterprises under the ministry."

The conversation ended here. Minister Wu actually personally sent Lin Zhiyuan out the door, which surprised everyone who saw it.

This assistant Lin from the large-scale working committee was incredible! He was able to have the Minister of Labor come and personally send him off.

Minister Wu shook Lin Zhiyuan's hand and said jokingly, "Assistant Lin, are you interested in working in the Ministry of Information Industry? If you are willing to come, it will take at most three years..."

Minister Wu didn't say the rest, but both of them understood.

Lin Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Minister Wu, please stop teasing me. I know nothing about the electronics industry."

"It's not important. If you don't understand, you can learn." Minister Wu thought of something and shook his head regretfully. "It's impossible. Secretary Wu and Director Li will not let you go."

After coming out of the Ministry of Information Industry, Lin Zhiyuan felt relaxed all over. Judging from Minister Wu's attitude, this matter should be almost certain.

After getting in the car, Lin Zhiyuan called Yuan Fei and said, "You should be prepared. The Ministry of Information Industry should hold a meeting tomorrow. This project will probably be officially approved soon. The preliminary work, including purchasing patent rights, contacting advertising companies, and designing the product appearance, may all be done by you. You may have to go abroad right away."

When Yuan Fei heard this, he immediately became excited, "Assistant Lin, I'm fine. I have my passport and I can go abroad right away."

Then he lowered his voice and asked, "Assistant Lin, has the funding problem been resolved?"

"more or less!"

After hanging up Yuan Fei's call, Lin Zhiyuan called Jin Huaying again.

Although Jin Huaying asked Lin Zhiyuan to be actually responsible for the operation of Gegang Investment Company in secret, Lin Zhiyuan had to formally report to Jin Huaying for large projects involving tens of millions of funds.

After the call was connected, Lin Zhiyuan told Jin Huaying everything about the matter. Jin Huaying, as before, fully delegated power to Lin Zhiyuan, "Zhiyuan, since you are optimistic about this project and it is linked to the Ministry of Information Industry, then you can go ahead and do it. I fully support you."

"Thank you, Mr. Jin."

It's that simple.

The next day, Lin Zhiyuan and Deputy Director of the Enterprise Reform Bureau Jiang Fenglai were invited to attend the Ministry of Information Industry's affiliated enterprise conference, and Minister Wu personally presided over the meeting.

The theme of the meeting revolved around portable music players. The first was to establish a project, and the second was to conduct a pilot project for enterprise reform based on this project.

With Minister Wu in person, the meeting's agenda went very smoothly.

After everyone's independent selection, a total of eight small subordinate enterprises were willing to participate in this project, including Dongtian Electronics. The situations of the other seven enterprises were similar to Dongtian Electronics. They were all relatively weak, and some were even on the verge of stopping production.

The portable music player project may be the only chance for them to change their destiny.

Minister Wu showed his vigorous work spirit and made a decision on the spot that the eight companies would set up a joint-stock pilot enterprise with Dongtian Electronics as the center, pooling the personnel, money and materials of the eight companies to tackle the portable music player project, and the ministry would also provide personnel support. Minister Wu made a promise on the spot that if necessary, the ministry would select the best experts to participate in the technical research.

The conference room burst into warm applause.

Lin Zhiyuan observed, however, that the heads of several large enterprises in the ministry appeared to be applauding enthusiastically, but the expressions on their faces betrayed them.

Mr. Li from the Electric Technology Company was a representative example. He could no longer hide his disdain. When he occasionally glanced at Lin Zhiyuan, he no longer had the enthusiasm he had shown on the day of the research. Instead, he was filled with indifference and even hatred.

Lin Zhiyuan even guessed what they were really thinking at this moment.

These eight small companies that are about to go bankrupt want to support such a big project. Apart from other things, where will the money come from?

Let's just wait and see the joke!

At the same time, Lin Zhiyuan also saw doubts on the faces of the heads of the eight small companies participating in the project.

We have plenty of enthusiasm, but where does the money come from?

Since Lin Zhiyuan could detect something unusual, how could Minister Wu not notice it? After everyone finished clapping, he announced a piece of good news, "From the applause just now, I can feel everyone's determination and confidence to fight back. I hope this is a battle for our information industry-affiliated enterprises to turn things around and save themselves. Of course, this war is by no means a one-man show. Now, please allow Comrade Lin Zhiyuan, assistant to the director of the Large-Scale Working Committee, to speak to everyone. Everyone welcome!"

There was another round of warm applause, and the microphone was placed in front of Lin Zhiyuan.

Lin Zhiyuan only said one sentence, and the applause almost blew the roof off the shed. The heads of the eight small businesses clapped their hands until they turned red.

"Everyone knows that I was the one who proposed this project. Since I proposed it, I must be responsible for it to the end. Yesterday, I contacted Mr. Jin from Gegang, and Gegang Investment Company is willing to invest 20 million in this project."

At this time, everyone in the conference room understood why Minister Wu was so confident and why Lin Zhiyuan, an outsider, could sit so firmly in the conference room of the Ministry of Information Industry?
