Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Without sufficient food self-sufficiency, Longguo’s development will also be hindered.

Moreover, this kind of bottleneck is more fatal than restrictions on high-tech.

By the 21st century, the Soviet Union, which had been against the West for decades, no longer existed.

Western countries do not agree to target Longguo and regard Longguo as a new major threat.

Several major grain traders who were dependent on the West kept in line with their officials and simultaneously carried out economic suppression on Longguo.

Trying to control the food prices in Longguo and disrupt the economic development of Longguo.

The foreigners couldn't even think of it.

At that time, Longguo's food problem had been basically solved.

Time and again, the food battles ended with the Dragon Kingdom achieving complete victory.

Foreign grain traders have no idea how much war-reserve grain Longguo has stored.

The amount of food produced each year makes Dragon Country one of the largest food exporters in the world.

A week later, 10 million yuan of funds was transferred from the Northern Machinery Company to the Agricultural Research Institute where Professor Fang worked.

At the same time, Lin Kaifeng convened a company-wide meeting.

This shows that he is personally in charge of the investment project, and anyone who dares to drag his feet on the project and create trouble artificially is deliberately going against Lin Kaifeng.

Some things may take more than ten or twenty years to see results.

"Comrades, I am holding a high-level meeting of the company today not to explain to you why we have to invest a large amount of research funds in the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, but also to tell you that I am responsible for the project. As long as I am the general manager of Northern Machinery Company, no one can interfere with agricultural investment projects."

"If anyone dares to interfere with or secretly deduct the funds invested in the Agricultural Research Institute and Professor Fang's project, don't blame me for being rude to him!"

Even if Lin Kaifeng talked his heart out, people might not understand his good intentions.

Instead of doing that, Lin Kaifeng simply didn't give any further explanation.

Just say one sentence.

To destroy or interfere with the company's cooperation with Professor Fang is to go against Lin Kaifeng.

Dozens of company leaders who participated in the meeting looked at Lin Kaifeng in astonishment.

Ever since Lin Kaifeng became the general manager of Northern Machinery Company, he has never used such a serious tone when holding meetings with everyone.

"Next, let's move on to the second topic of discussion for this meeting."

Seeing that no one spoke up to oppose his decision, Lin Kaifeng said calmly: "With the approval of the relevant departments, our company's overseas branch has officially taken root in Hong Kong City."

"With the help of Wang Lei, a Hong Kong businessman, some local staff have already arrived at the branch's office in Gangcheng. In the next few months, I will take Bai Ru on business trips to the branch."

"For the development of overseas branches, we will do further structural construction and market expansion. If anything happens to the head office, you leaders can discuss and deal with it. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, you can also contact me directly or contact the city government."

Lin Kaifeng looked around and continued, "Comrades, everyone is clear about the company's current development scale and situation. We have become a strategic business partner with Best Buy Group. For a long time to come, Best Buy Group will place a large number of orders with us."

"But as the saying goes, don't put all your eggs in one basket. We need Best Buy Group's orders and funds, as well as their assistance in overseas markets. At the same time, we must also forge our own path of development."

"Gangcheng is an international trading city and a gathering place for foreign businessmen. Building a branch in Gangcheng and expanding overseas business will be of long-term help to the machinery company now and in the future."

Before leaving, Lin Kaifeng had to complete all the work tasks of the Northern Machinery Company.

The color televisions supplied to Best Buy Group were produced by more than a dozen large-scale television manufacturers as supporting enterprises, and Northern Machinery Company was responsible for assembly.

The whole business cannot afford any mistakes.

The next day, Lin Kaifeng and Bai Ru took a plane to the port city with a letter of introduction issued by the city government.

"Oh my god! Is this the harbor city? It's so beautiful!!!"

It was Bai Ru’s first time in Hong Kong, and she found everything extremely new.

The streets were bustling with traffic, more prosperous than any city Bai Ru had ever seen.

The city where the Canton Fair is located is considered the fastest-growing place in the country, but compared with the port city, it is completely dwarfed.

There is no comparison.

People on the street are walking in a hurry, as if everyone has something urgent to do.

He walked hurriedly without stopping.

The airport shops sell a wide variety of goods, which is in stark contrast to the shortage of goods in domestic department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives.

Lin Kaifeng stood in front of the airport without saying a word, waiting patiently for Wang Lei to come and pick him up.

"Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, this damn broken car suddenly broke down on the road. I kept you waiting for a long time."

After about ten minutes, a car stopped in front of Lin Kaifeng, and Wang Lei kept apologizing to the two of them.

I should have waited at the airport in advance, but the car was not good enough.

Halfway through the drive, the car engine broke down.

It took Wang Lei nearly an hour to fix the car.

Lin Kaifeng didn't say much and asked Bai Ru to get in the car.

Bai Ru and Wang Lei are both neighbors and classmates.

Even though we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, our friendship has not been greatly affected.

On the way to the hotel, Bai Ru was like a curious lark, with endless questions in her mouth.

Wang Lei answers every question.

Patiently answering Bai Ru's various questions.

Lin Kaifeng closed his eyes and thought about the next strategic arrangement.

A few dozen minutes later, the car stopped in front of a high-end hotel in the port city.

Wang Lei has already completed the check-in procedures for Lin Kaifeng and Bai Ru. Their rooms are next to each other, both are double rooms.

After entering the room and putting down their luggage, Lin Kaifeng and his companion, led by Wang Lei, went to the hotel restaurant for dinner.

"Mr. Lin, I have been observing the financial markets of the island country and the United States for some time. Although the island country's currency has fluctuated, there is no sign of a sharp rise. As for the US dollar, there is no sign of depreciation."

During the meal, Wang Lei asked a question that had been puzzling him.

Following Lin Kaifeng's suggestion, Wang Lei decisively moved his own clothing factory to the mainland.

A cooperation agreement was reached with the leaders of the Special Economic Zone, with the Special Economic Zone providing factory buildings and workers, and Wang Lei providing design drawings and some production equipment.

Upon learning that Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Company was planning to set up a branch in Gangcheng, Wang Lei also provided a lot of assistance.

According to Lin Kaifeng's needs, help him rent an office in Hong Kong City and recruit the necessary business talents.

It was somewhat unexpected that the business talent Lin Kaifeng needed was neither a professional manager nor a salesperson who was good at selling goods.

But financial practitioners.

Out of curiosity, Wang Lei couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

Don't ask, don't know, I'm startled when I ask.

Lin Kaifeng is certain that the island nation's currency will appreciate in the near future.

Corresponding to this is the depreciation of the US dollar.
