Chapter 480 The Red Gate Banquet

Lin Qiangsheng once again moved into the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse. This time it was about a nuclear power project, and the superiors wanted to hear his opinions.

Since he started the Da Petrochemical Project, he has spent most of his time running back and forth between several locations and the capital, and he has always taken planes. The flying around is always in the sky, which has made Lin Johnson accustomed to it.

Fortunately, he was lucky enough to not encounter any air crashes that made him burp. In the past two years, there were several crashes in the Chinese aviation industry, two in 1982 and once in 1983. Each flight accident will cause great disasters to the Chinese aviation industry, passengers and relatives.

The planes are loaded with dozens to hundreds of people, just like canned meat. When you arrive in the sky, your safety does not belong to you. I can only pray that the plane will not have any accidents. The pilots and the ground commanders are both skilled and united!

This time he came to Beijing mainly to discuss nuclear power plant investment plans with the central leaders, and to explain Lin Johnson's ideas on investing in nuclear power plants and the goals he wanted to achieve.

To put it bluntly, the superiors don’t believe this young man very much. He is different from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan rich like Li Ka-shing. They have a clear and unforgettable development history and struggle history. This is not to say that they have never used any means, but the country knows them clearly. Moreover, the two sides have a long time of tacit understanding and cooperation. Even if these people do nothing and just silently develop and speak for the New China at critical moments, then the country will be happy.

Lin Johnson has none of these. He does not have the influence of local areas like wealthy businessmen such as Li Ka-shing in Hong Kong and Macao. His foundation is in China and the United States and has a very short development time. This thin background is far from that of Li Ka-shing and others!

Perhaps foreign monks are really good at chanting scriptures, but their country's local gangsters will be fooled by just by passing them over.

Some people also found out his previous bad records. Lin Johnson once speculated and reselled cloth in a big way. Before the country cracked down on it, he made millions and exchanged foreign exchange privately. He inexplicably became a Hong Kong businessman.

Although these things are not up to the table, things have changed a lot, but it does not mean that some people do not start with these trivial matters to analyze him. Their analysis concluded that Lin Johnson, a young man, is good at engaging in and likes to go with the flow. He is a contradictory individual. Although he grows under the red flag, he has capitalist ideas. He quickly adapted to the Western economic system in a capitalist society!

This is also something that some people can't understand. Why is a young Chinese born and raised under the Red Flag and never in contact with Western society adapting to the foreign environment so quickly!

You should know that many of our entrusted international students with ability and expertise are not used to it abroad, but this university dropout is as easy as a fish in the Western environment and knows how to use various resources. Our international students or visiting groups don’t even dare to talk to others when they go abroad!

Although people who have come from reform and opening up now are tourists, and China also strongly welcomes investors, people like Lin Johnson are regarded as speculators and capitalists in China who have been brainwashed by Western capitalism. They not only need to invest in Dapec but also invest in domestic nuclear power plants. This has made some people wonder, is this young man reliable?

Lin Qiang-sheng didn't like socializing, but at noon the next day after arriving in Beijing, several leaders of the State Council, including Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang, met Lin Qiang-sheng in the name of a banquet. It was particularly rare that the Supreme Leader Hui and Li Chen also arrived at the venue. Both of them were also the second generation of China's leaders, with high status and outstanding power, and they even attended the banquet.

Although the luxurious dining table is filled with delicious food such as abalone bird's nest and steamed bear's paw, it is more appropriate to say that it is an important meeting than a sumptuous banquet.

The leaders all affirmed and praised Lin Johnson for actively investing in the country, especially Li Chen, the two fathers of the Republic, who were the leaders of reform and opening up. They highly recognized Lin Johnson for his strong support for the domestic automobile industry, electronics industry, and petrochemical industry!

Some people heard that several veterans supported Lin Johnson so much, they would suppress their doubts. The leaders all agreed. They still held on to those disgraceful things about Lin Johnson, which made them seem to be incorrect.

Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng was also happy to toast a few glasses of wine to the leaders. It is rare to have this opportunity to meet these people today. Although he was very satisfied with the leaders' affirmation, Lin Qiang-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng-Cheng

Lin Johnson faced these leaders with the spirit of paying attention to the giant pandas. If his thoughts were discovered, the leaders would not let him get out of here!

Zhao Ziyang is in charge of national economic work and is also the main maker of major policies. Perhaps the one with the lowest age and position among the people present. He asked Lin Johnson directly: "Koye, we know you were still a young boy in 1979. Why did you think about starting a cloth business? Which one can teach you, but it violates national regulations!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and looked at Zhao Ziyang who was facing the gentle with glasses. He paused for a while before smiling and said, "The leaders all know that our people's lives are too hard and they are too tight to themselves! I have also experienced that a state-owned enterprise employee does not have eight-foot cloth tickets all year round. Which young man wants to get married? The whole family has to go to the homes of relatives, friends and neighbors to borrow cloth tickets to make a new set of clothes! Therefore, the Chinese people have developed a unique habit of saving the few cloth tickets to others to borrow. In this way, it will not be difficult to borrow tickets from others when their families have difficulties! This has a special phenomenon. In Chinese society, cloth tickets are even better than RMB!"

Most leaders laughed, and some of them changed their faces quietly and were not so calm.

Lin Qiangsheng continued: "I also noticed that people in the city are actually not short of money! The vast majority of rural and urban residents actually have money! But they all have one problem, and they can't spend money in their hands!"

"Oh, how can I see it?" Zhao Ziyang asked, holding down his glasses.

Lin Qiangsheng ate a bite of food and drank wine, then used a napkin to sprinkle a handful of people on his mouth and said freely: "It's very simple. We lack markets. In the words of the government, it means that there is shortage of supplies and insufficient goods!" But then Lin Qiangsheng shook his finger and said: "But I want to say that China is not only shortage of supplies but also seriously blocked. Even if the people have money, they may not be able to buy goods. If you want to buy a TV, you have to have a TV ticket. If you want to buy a watch, you have to have a watch ticket. If you want to buy a bicycle, you have to need a ticket. People who want to buy anything have to buy! If you go out for a long time, you have to care about your letter of introduction. If you don't have a letter of introduction, it is called blind. Flow!"

"The Chinese are too bitter, lacking food and clothing! There are brothers and sisters at home, the older ones wear parents, and the younger ones take over the rest of the older ones, which are all normal and common things, hard work and simplicity! But why is this happening? Is our productivity insufficient? No, either. I remember a few years ago, I said that the domestic cloth production is hundreds of millions of tons, which is enough for the people of the whole country to make several sets of clothes. Where have these things gone? Why are our people all bitter? Compared with the foreign people, our people have bitter faces and are unhappy!"

The leaders at the scene all looked awkward on their faces, and some people gradually became angry.

Zhao Ziyang patted the table gently and said to Lin Johnson: "Tell me the point! You said that the people have money in their hands, how did you think of making money!"

Lin Qiangsheng patted his forehead and said, "Yes, I found that people have money in their hands. If you buy a bundle of TVs, you can buy them! The price of TVs is five or six hundred, and the cheapest one is more than three hundred. If a worker can earn 30 yuan a month, he will not eat or drink for two or three years to buy a TV! But even this cannot stop people from wanting to watch TV! The same bicycle watches are the same, and the second and third things are arranged after buying them. In addition, there are also popular things in society about the three major items of marriage and what is necessary for newlyweds. Many married families are difficult but they are almost all together in the end. The purchasing power of our Chinese people is actually quite great!"

"The Chinese people are actually rich. The black and white TVs that were cleared in department stores in the past few years are proof of this. Now the color TVs are cleared every day, and they are sold out in one morning. The people in front of the counter are full every day. Black and white TVs are no longer popular in society. Now the larger the color TV, the better!"

The leaders regained their mood and listened to Lin Qiangsheng's words with relish. This was also fresh for them, because no one could truly present the lives of the lower class people to them. It cannot be said that there is no but it is extremely rare. So when they heard Lin Qiangsheng's simple language, their interest was very great and they did not interrupt Lin Qiangsheng. (To be continued.)
