My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 619 Never rush home thinking about your wife, kids, and a warm bed.
There aren't that many people in this world who would bow down and worship without hesitation.

Team relationships built on money and desire will inevitably collapse sooner or later.

Only the future built on ideals is truly indestructible.

Furthermore, Wei Dong needs someone to keep an eye on the increasingly large situation. If he doesn't keep his true feelings in check, he'll be betrayed in the end.

This may be the difference between being a lord and being a tyrant.

Anyway, Lin Wangfu didn't stay at a hotel that night, but stayed in a makeshift shed with Rang Weidong and the others.

Actually, he's still shirtless and working at the store making sound cards by hand, and he hasn't had a good life yet. He admires Wei Dong's boundless energy, who can play ball with the soldiers at night and then hold an all-night architectural design meeting with the technicians led by Chi Shiming.

Even if it's just building a bunch of factories and dormitories, Wei Dong still hopes to come up with something new.

No additional costs are needed during construction; the aim is to create some distinctive features in appearance, which will also contribute to the future image of the entire port industrial area.

Yu Xiaoqiu accompanied her throughout as her secretary, while He Yuemei had already led some people back to Yuezhou to expand sales and prepare for sales after production began here.

Therefore, Secretary Yu, who is not pretentious, quickly gained recognition from all sides. Apart from being too good-looking and attracting the attention of a few people, her work attitude is perfect.

The next morning, she followed along to the port development zone.

It was the same Mitsubishi SUV that the development zone had previously lent to Weidong for his own use.

I led everyone around the five-star hotel and said, “We can stay in such hotels anytime right now, but is indulging in this kind of personal enjoyment good for the whole team? No, so it’s not worth wasting time here. We should be people who have transcended this kind of low-level need now.”

They didn't even stop at the grand hotel, but turned into the courtyard of the office building next door.

It has an administrative feel to it at first glance.

Chi Shiming had already started chuckling in advance. His biggest weakness was his shallow foundation. As a high school graduate with just a Hong Kong ID card, he couldn't possibly make a name for himself in Hong Kong. If he really went to work in the real estate industry or something similar, it would take at least twenty or thirty years before he could rely on his seniority to get ahead.

That's why he worked so hard to accumulate start-up capital, wanting to seize a position and expand his territory in the mainland.

They can snatch the first share and then go back to the Hong Kong real estate tycoons for support.

It has to be said that this is the most feasible way to allow Wei Dong to be reborn outside of the Heavenly Eye.

However, he actually lacks experience in dealing with the government in mainland China.

So now he's truly willing to follow Wei Dong, the boss doing the work of appearances, while he does the work of substance.

He also explained to Lin Wangfu: "Doing big business in the mainland is very troublesome nowadays. Either the big shots are cautious and difficult to approach, or the subordinates are greedy and demand bribes. But the boss has a natural talent in this area, takes an unconventional approach, and has achieved great success!"

Yu Xiaoqiu clapped softly: "Our experience in Beijing is even stronger."

This reminded Wei Dong, who made a face at the daughter Zhuoma was holding at the back: "Play with your older brother and sister for a while..."

Then, turning his gaze back to tease the pretty girl, he said, "Ah Ming flattered me because he wants to communicate more with Lao Lin. They'll be in a lot of contact in the future. If you're going to be a secretary, you need to talk less and do more, maintain a professional and aloof demeanor, and you should really think about it. Being pretty is a disadvantage right now. You should seriously consider whether you want to continue doing this job."

Then he got out of the car and greeted the gatekeeper warmly: "Old Fang hasn't come back yet, has he? I'm here to make a couple of phone calls and check on things at the dock..."

Yu Xiaoqiu took a deep breath and jumped down, practicing her secretary demeanor step by step.

Chi Shiming continued smugly, "See? We're all young people, and the Jiangzhou headquarters is even more of a mix of old, middle-aged, and young. You can find all the support you need, and we can make a name for ourselves!"

Lin Wangfu also had to adapt to the rapid transition from a small workshop to a multinational corporation, and then back to self-reliance and hard work.

So even the two behind him smiled and nodded before getting off the bus.

Mao'er twitched his face for a while before complaining, "Shouldn't I be the second uncle? Why am I a generation younger than him?"

People in the martial arts world care most about seniority.

Zhuoma quickly smiled and told him to move the car to a shady spot so they could wait for her older brother, while she took her younger sister to play on the flower bed.

Sure enough, Lao Fang deliberately stayed away, allowing Wei Dong to take over the business with a clear conscience. Moreover, he must already know that this young entrepreneur owns 30 percent of the shares in both the dock and the container company!

He is the largest shareholder!
Of course, like Lü Zien, they all believed that this was an organizational arrangement and not surprising.

So what if you're 22? A few years ago, you could dominate Shanghai at 21 and even hold a higher position than Lao Fang in your 30s.

These days, nothing is strange.

There was even a hint of the air of an old bureaucrat watching you build your grand mansion, their greetings were all overly slick: "Mr. Rang's back. I heard you had your wedding in Hong Kong..."

"It's truly admirable that our boss returned to work so soon after his honeymoon!"

"Mr. Fang happens to have a few reception duties in Hong Kong. Is there anything you need to arrange?"

Wei Dong, being a seasoned veteran in the bureaucracy, could even sense that some of the less astute individuals seemed to have misjudged that Lao Fang was forced to accept this young man and was deliberately avoiding him. He didn't want to waste time on such matters: "I'll make a few calls to report on the work, but today I definitely need to convene a meeting with both the port company and the container company. There are several major projects that need to be coordinated. I'd appreciate it if Director Shao could notify and arrange this. This is my secretary, Xiao Yu; please provide guidance."

Then Yu Xiaoqiu was sent to learn from the office director, and the two henchmen were brought into Lao Fang's office.

The moment the door closes, his expression changes: "Use both long-distance calls now, I'm taking one..."

He even enthusiastically pulled the black pearl out of his bag and put it on the phone to scare the two of them: "Don't you dare eavesdrop on my confidential calls!"

He sneakily made his way up to the rooftop from the outside stairwell.

First, inform Wu Xi about this matter.

Even if Lao Fang agrees to take responsibility for something like this, he still needs to inform his guarantor of the whole story. This is a basic principle of the system.

Wu Xi asked even more detailed questions than Lao Fang, including all the details of the conversation and the key points of the actions, which made Wei Dong insist that he had to do it himself even under these circumstances.

Before widespread surveillance, people could say whatever they wanted.

But no matter how many times the questions are asked, the content of the conversation remains exactly the same.

Wu Xi was actually a little envious: "You actually have several lives on your hands..."

Perhaps realizing that what he said was not right, he immediately became serious: "I will definitely report to the relevant authorities. Lao Fang knows that you want to keep a copy for me, right? You should tell him. These kinds of frontline incidents are not uncommon. It must have been very dangerous at the time. The item was very important. Later, Xiao Shen called me and said that you would rather protect the item than not get it back."

Let Wei Dong reiterate the importance of wafer fabs and packaging plants: "The Shanghai Institute of Automation, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry have been working on this for the past ten years. To put it another way, they were all hand-crafting atomic bombs. You can say whether they can explode, yes, but whether they can deliver them to the enemy to explode is no. What we have achieved this time is this leading level."

Wu Xi was shocked: "Was the place you made the call safe? How did you know these details? Oh, you also worked with the Second Ministry of Machine Building. So you got this information from me? I understand."

Indeed, this is often the case with these victories throughout history.

Building an atomic bomb has a deterrent effect, but that doesn't mean it can be used accurately and effectively; it only solves the problem of whether or not it exists.

It's like the later online hype about building large airplanes in the 1970s and 80s; that's how it was.

You can cobble together a plane by tinkering and fixing things, but whether you dare to deploy it in all civilian airports across the country is another matter entirely.

We can't bear to see the Russians act so recklessly.

Therefore, the various chips and lithography machines that are currently receiving frequent good news are worthless in the eyes of experts, and some are even going in the wrong direction.

From a later perspective, the whole world is now exploring integrated circuits.

In the end, only the deepest-pocketed Citibank found the right direction, and Japan and South Korea both picked up Citibank's research and development results and carried them forward.

Even until its collapse, the United States never reached the level of integrated circuits; two or three decades later, it was still using vacuum tubes.

These modern technological explorations all need to be validated in the expanding civilian market.

Laboratory-level success alone is meaningless; talking about success without considering yield rate and cost is just being irresponsible.

People thirty or forty years from now will have this basic concept.

But at this moment, it was as if Wei Dong had discovered some top-secret information.

He was also startled, realizing he had chosen the wrong point in his analogy: "Yes, yes, that's the idea, nuclear weapons level. So after talking with you, I still felt it wasn't safe, so I contacted Chen Wenliang, a smuggler from Hong Kong. I met him when he went to Beijing with Xu Rao last time. He actually went with the Chaoshan bigwigs to hunt down foreign firms and then divide the spoils. They took advantage of his young age and limited capital, and stuffed the IBM agency rights, which he didn't even understand, into his hands. He didn't know how to do this business, so he gave it to me. That's how we met. I only used his shipping methods to return to China and enter the country through all the proper procedures. It wasn't tax evasion."

Wu Xi confirmed that he had called from Lao Fang's office phone before saying that he would report back later, but he was already doing a good job just for getting this thing back.

Wei Dong explained that it wasn't for personal gain: "After this incident, I've already asked Citibank to move the packaging plant away from the unsafe area of ​​Feilubin. We finally managed to get things sorted out for this, so we're putting the plant here. But this will inevitably cause some environmental pollution. I'm just giving you a heads-up so you won't say I didn't report it."

Wu Xi was indeed completely ignorant about environmental protection: "What does it have to do with anything? Doesn't gold exploration cause less pollution? Steelmaking, coal burning, oh my, Beijing is about to start experiencing smog again."

Let Wei Dong explain clearly: "Theoretically, such a factory should be located in a slightly remote area, near the sea to dilute the pollution. The surrounding areas of Pengzhen, Hong Kong, and the Delta region are relatively densely populated with such factories. However, this is a joint venture factory with Citibank. I tricked Citibank into investing in production. It's impossible for it to be located in some desolate wilderness. People will come to inspect it."

Wu Xi actually said, "What's the problem? Those guys exported Type 56 rifles to North America and even invited Americans to visit the Fujian Arsenal."

Wei Dong felt this was the real secret: "Why are you telling me this? The key is to see who did this. I might be beheaded."

Wu Xi chuckled: "So don't ask me. You make the decision about such a small matter. It's just a matter of beheading you anyway... Oh, you're a Hong Kong citizen now. Stop talking nonsense. I can't remember anything else. I need to report the matter first."

Wei Dong urged, "Hurry up! I'll finish two meetings here and then head back to Jiangzhou. My baby is about to be born there!"

Wu Xi was stunned for a moment, and after several seconds he managed to squeeze out the words: "No wonder you're in trouble. Have you been so eager to go home to see your wife give birth since you left Malaysia? The elders say that's when you're most likely to get shot!"

Wei Dongcai, it seems he has indeed heard of this joke before.
