Iron Bull Legend

"The start-up funds and follow-up funds are in place. What we lack most now is technology. When this project was established, I had already started to raise funds. I will not release the satellite without making sufficient preparations. I can directly transfer the funds for the Zhengege Project to a special account to avoid subsequent troubles."

“What, the funds are in place? If, together with the original procurement funds, it will cost at least hundreds of billions. Where did you get such a huge amount of funds? This is not a joke. This is... I am serious. This matter has to rise to the political level and it is no joke. Once the construction of tens of millions of tons of crude oil war reserve starts, it must be carried out to the end. If something goes wrong, you will be held responsible.” The chief’s voice changed from surprise to seriousness, and then rose to a certain level.

"Yes, I am ready, and it is a reserve of 100 billion US dollars. As long as the project is approved and construction begins, this 100 billion US dollars of war reserve funds will be directly transferred to the account. However, in terms of supervision, I still have to invite a professional financial team to conduct an audit of the use of each expense. This is my bottom line." Tie Niu expressed the implementation of funds and his own principled bottom line.

"That's no problem. You have arranged the construction and the purchase of crude oil. Our country is only providing professional technical guidance in this regard. We will have further detailed consultations on matters after completion, or we can negotiate while construction is underway and put it into use directly after completion." The leader also gave the country's response.

"Okay, let's do a two-pronged approach. After completion, these buildings will be handed over to the state as fixed assets and donated to the state free of charge. However, I have a request, which is that the operating rights should be managed by the state and the financier, and the profit sharing should be reasonably agreed upon. After all, such a large investment must be gradually recovered." Tie Niu thought about saying this in advance. He didn't care about the 100 billion US dollars. He mainly didn't want those prodigal sons to eat it all up and end up with the money in their pockets.

"That's no problem. How much profit share do you plan to take?" the leader asked after thinking for a while.

"In terms of profit sharing, my plan is for the state to take 60% and for investors to take 40%. I have to consider the investors. Although the state has very strict supervision over crude oil, we also need to provide investors with relevant policies to recover their investment funds."

"Is it that simple? With such a huge investment, if you only get 40% profit to recover the cost, it will take many years to recover the cost. Isn't it too long to recover the cost?" The chief originally thought that Tie Niu would ask for a huge amount. This 100 billion US dollars investment is not a small amount and will definitely account for the majority.

"That's all I ask. I'm actively participating in the country's development and doing my bit for it. In fact, if I wasn't worried about management, I would have donated all of it. Why would I need so much money? I'm still young and I can support my family by doing some other business."

"Okay, this matter will be done according to your request. On behalf of the country, I thank you for your contribution in this regard. So, if you have any other conditions or requirements, just raise them directly during the negotiation. We will try our best to meet them if they are reasonable." The leader also understood Tie Niu's concerns. After all, there were reasons for this. The drawbacks revealed in the reform of state-owned enterprises were also very prominent.

Tie Niu is also a pioneer in the entire state-owned enterprise reform. He should be the most clear and knowledgeable about many things related to state-owned enterprises, so he directly agreed to this reasonable request.

"I heard from Comrade Dakai that you have introduced more than 20 billion pounds of investment in Hong Kong Island this time, and the investment came from overseas Chinese. What's going on? Can you tell me in detail?" The chief had already obtained what he wanted to know on this matter, and immediately changed the subject.

"I came to Hong Kong Island this time because of crude oil and capital issues. So, when I was inspecting Hong Kong Island, I came into contact with Mr. Ji Hongyuan of the Peninsula Hotel. His father is the native of our Huangmei Town. After so many years of wandering overseas, he has long had the idea and plan to return to his roots. I used the way of cooperation to communicate with Mr. Ji Hongyuan. He and some overseas Chinese in Hong Kong Island are interested in investing in China. The initial plan is to establish a five-star hotel catering cooperation and invest in hotels in China's first-tier cities. Moreover, these overseas Chinese belong to different industries. Their investment this time is also an attempt to test China's exploration of overseas capital. Later, there will be large amounts of funds and projects settled in various parts of the country. They will form a group to return to China for inspection in the next few days."

"Okay, that's great. Your overseas inspection this time is a milestone in leading the actions of domestic cadres and setting an example for everyone. This must be learned by all our leading cadres. You should take time to organize the materials for this inspection and study, and give a speech at the right time to share your experience with everyone. This is also the first step towards the international market. We must let everyone deeply understand their own shortcomings and let everyone learn from your inspection about the experience and shortcomings of attracting investment. You must make a serious summary."

"Ah... I am just making use of my personal resources. I really don't have any experience to share. Isn't this putting me on the spot? I am still young, only eighteen years old. It is inappropriate for me to give reports to so many leaders across the country, right?" Tie Niu said this to prepare for his retreat.

"You can't say that. Although you are only 18 years old, you have already made immortal achievements in Yangcheng and Ping'an Town. These are things that those cadres older than you don't have, and they want to learn from you. Don't refuse. This will also provide unprecedented experience for our government's reform and enrich the experience and knowledge level of all leading cadres."

"Commander, to be honest, I have already completed your assignment in excess. I often felt anxious during my rest time abroad this time. After all, we cannot afford even the slightest mistake in our national construction. While I was anxious, I also felt a mountain of pressure. After all, I will only be 18 years old after the Chinese New Year this year, and I am already the mayor of a provincial capital city, a real official. I am really anxious, afraid that if I take a wrong step, it will bring losses to the country and the people. I was planning to submit my resignation application to you. But you have put such a heavy burden on me again. I really can't bear it."

"Haha... Hahaha, you little brat, you feel scared now too? Do you think I can't see that you are stirring up trouble in Japan and the United States? What are you thinking of doing?" After laughing, the leader directly began to question Tie Niu, which could be considered a protective inquiry.

"Chief, I am innocent. I am just an eighteen-year-old young man. How could I have such great ability to stir up trouble in Japan and the United States? Not to mention other things, the United States is the world hegemon, so I need such great ability to do that." Tie Niu cried out for injustice directly. He didn't want to wear such a big hat.

"Okay, don't complain to me. This matter has become a big deal. The virus from the United States may sweep the entire world. If it cannot be properly controlled, the world will become a cemetery and a tool for some people to use. You should be able to see this, right?"

"Chief, I am truly wronged. The virus in Block 51 of the United States was created by the United States, not by me. Besides, I have never been to the United States, and I do not have that virus. You must be discerning and discern right from wrong. The inhumane act of genocide is a serious crime. Even if I have great ability and courage, I would not dare to do it."

"Okay, I know you didn't do that, but you were really quick to get the news, earlier than our country. Did you know something? Did you make real preparations? You were able to come up with treatment plans and drugs so quickly. If it weren't for your drugs, China would be in dire straits. A country with a population of more than one billion people, once it is infected and spreads, it will be impossible to control it. The old man said in person that he would invite you to dinner at his home when you return to Beijing."

"I only learned about this incident through foreign news media when I was in Hong Kong Island, and learned about this disease from the rumors and top-secret information in Japan. Didn't I report my discomfort to you last time? You know I'm a doctor, and you can only come to this conclusion based on the analysis of the disease. By the way, are the meals at your home the same as the state banquet?" Tie Niu asked directly after explaining.

"You little bastard, the old man's family dinner is just the same as the family dinner for ordinary people like us. How could it become a state banquet? What are you thinking about, you little bastard?" The chief's nose was almost crooked with anger.

"Forget it then. I like the food cooked by my aunt the most. Going to an old man's house is a bit restrictive and I'm not used to it. It may not be as delicious as my aunt's food. Forget it, I won't go. If I don't bring a gift when I see the old man, it will be impolite. If I bring something expensive, it will be suspected of giving gifts. After thinking about it, I'll just forget it, right?"

"You little brat, there are so many people who want to go to the old man's house for a meal, but they don't have the chance. You got a personal invitation from the old man, what are you still thinking about? You must go, and you must bring a gift. Just don't bring anything expensive."

"Aren't you making things difficult for me? Have you approved my resignation?" Tie Niu deliberately mentioned the resignation again. This was also a sudden attack. It was estimated that the leader would not agree.

"Don't even think about resigning. You're just doing a half-finished job and then you just run away. You're a deserter. If you were on the battlefield, you'd be dealt with by the warlords. Think about it carefully. Don't think about those nonsense. So what if you're eighteen years old? Think about the ancient sages, and those who were younger than you and became kings and prime ministers. You're already eighteen years old, aren't you ashamed?"

"Commander, I am really terrified. Think about it. I have already built a framework for Yangcheng, and I have filled those enterprises into the framework. I have already drawn up the long-term plan and development prospects. This is also an opportunity for the cadres and masses in Yangcheng to exercise. If I continue to occupy this position in Yangcheng, will it block the way for everyone to grow? Not only will it not play a good role, but it will also restrict their thinking and make them puppets. This is definitely not what a leader like you wants to see."

After listening to Tie Niu's words, the chief fell into deep thought. The direction and framework of the market have been established. It is indeed as Tie Niu said. As long as all the companies are put into the framework, the tone of development and all items are in place. All it takes is to arrange someone who can move forward along this line of thought.
