Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

In early September, He Yuzhu personally brought Zhao Youcai to his hometown of Yanjing. The basic requirements for foreign-invested enterprises had been resolved in a meeting, and Dongda Group officially returned to its hometown to invest.

"Mr. He, we apologize for the delay. Our lack of experience and insufficient preparation caused you valuable time. Please forgive us!"

"These are all minor issues. Problems happen in any company. They can be corrected in the workplace. If you have no objections to the four projects, we will formally sign the contracts."

Are there many electronics factories near Jiangnan that can't produce mobile phone and computer accessories?

"Mr. He, because there are too many parts, there are still nearly a hundred parts that we cannot produce for the time being. We are working on overcoming this challenge and believe that two years will be enough."

At least in the north, we might need to build half of the new factories, mainly because the electronics industry in the north is not as developed as in the south.

"Then let's build it. Computers and mobile phones are currently sunrise industries and very profitable industries."

Moreover, the semiconductor industry has a very broad prospect, with great potential for both military and civilian applications. We must keep up with the world's pace.

We will first establish four projects: an 800 million pack instant noodle factory, a daily chemical factory, a high-end fabric factory, and a beverage factory.

"We'll sign the contract."

He Yuzhu is preparing to enter four industries in his hometown, four in the north and four in the south. The area is large, and it is impossible to cover all industries. At present, many companies are still mainly based overseas.

Unable to sell too many products domestically, the project was located in the city's industrial park, and Dongda Group took over the entire industrial park for four projects.

Their staff seemed a bit dumbfounded. They needed such a large space for only four projects. Compared to their projects, our factory seemed too small.

It's not that it's too small; it's that one of your projects is too small, which will put you at a significant disadvantage internationally. The cost per unit will increase, and your competitiveness will decrease.

Previously, they exported little and produced little, so they didn't quite understand what it meant to grow bigger and stronger and enhance competitiveness.

"Leader Wei, we hope you can expand the planting and breeding capacity of agricultural and sideline products in the surrounding area. Our company needs to improve the quality of our meals, as the ordinary meals here are not enough to meet the daily calorie needs of our workers."

We also have a cannery, which ranks fourth in the world in terms of market share. We hope to expand our production scale and enter the top three globally, which requires raw materials.

"Our main problem is still food security. Are we afraid to expand agricultural and sideline product production and instead produce around the factories?"

"Yes, production is located near the factory, which makes transportation relatively convenient and frees up small areas for growing grain, which would otherwise be costly."

We still rely on manual labor to grow grain here, while in other countries, grain is mostly grown using large-scale mechanized farming. The costs are different. If we raise pigs or grow vegetables, the income per acre will increase.

It's more cost-effective for us to import grain from even a small plot of land. We should import more grain for strategic reserves so that we won't be held hostage by others due to insufficient arable land.

What is the minimum area (in acres) that must be designated as arable land? However, some small arable lands, only a few hundred or a thousand acres, can be converted to grow other crops, which can yield greater profits.

Importing too much grain is not good, but importing less grain each year is still acceptable. You guys should look into it!

"I've noted it down, we'll look into it. Mr. He, is there anything else? Tell me and I'll write it down. There are many things we need to change in our work."

"Electricity is a fundamental element of industry. Without electricity, factory equipment is basically ground to a halt. Urban power supply is just enough, but it is still insufficient for other factories. Where can we find electricity?"

The highway isn't just the short section from the industrial park to the city; it also includes the road to the seaport. Let's take it one step at a time and solve any problems that arise.

"good."

The first thing to do upon returning to Hong Kong is to prepare to sell gold and buy oil. By January next year, the price of gold will exceed 800 US dollars per ounce, which means that whoever buys it will die. You can't gamble that someone will take over.

There are still more than three months from mid-September to January next year, enough time to sell off gold worth 300 billion US dollars.

As for Masha's 100 million Niu Niu coins in gold, He Yuzhu didn't care. Whether he made a profit or a loss wasn't a big deal. The amount was too small, and they needed to be more clear-headed and not be too greedy!

The current circulating supply of gold futures exceeds 200 billion yuan per day, making it very convenient to sell off assets.

The investment department of Dongda Group and the bank that handled He Yuzhu's gold were simultaneously selling off their gold holdings.

The initial five billion US dollars worth of gold on the first day, followed by nine billion US dollars worth of gold on the fourth day, did not cause any fluctuation in the gold price.

Prices have been rising steadily, and by early October, daily trading volume had reached 430 billion US dollars. What a terrifying market! Most people are optimistic about the rise in gold prices.

The mainstream perception in the gold market is that gold costs between 600 and 700 US dollars per ounce.

In late October, He Yuzhu accelerated the pace of gold sales, with two traders selling between 30 billion US dollars worth of gold in a single day.

Including the gold sold in the previous seventeen transactions, it only takes seven trading days to cash out all the cash and exit the gold market.

As for selling on one hand and buying on the other at the high point of the 800 Eagle Soy Coin, He Yuzhu still rejected the idea. What if the little eagle intervened and caused an abnormal transaction? That would be a big problem.

Take profits and buy back in after gold prices break through 800 US dollars. Shorting is a good option.

Now all we need to do is avoid government intervention from the Little Eagles; they're still too shameless.

On the last day of October, He Yuzhu arrived in the Lion Kingdom under a different identity. A few days later, the country was in chaos.

Number Two arrived at their capital and stayed at a hotel on the outskirts of the city, observing the city with his 'divine senses' spanning 10,000 square kilometers.

Indeed, this city is very similar to many economically developed metropolises, bustling with traffic and teeming with wealthy people, presenting a prosperous scene.

He Yuzhu was very interested in many of the halal foods, and since he could still eat them here if he had the money, he decided to try them.

On the hotel owner's recommendation, we first tried Shishlik, which is lamb chops skewered with bones and grilled, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

The food tasted pretty good. I bought a bit too much. After a satisfying meal, I went back to rest and explored the city before doing so.

Many wealthy people have fled, and they should have left behind some valuables. The situation in their country didn't happen overnight, so they had time to prepare and leave once their cash situation improved.

Gold and other valuables are not suitable to be carried in large quantities during an escape; they can only be buried in secret locations and retrieved later when the opportunity arises.

After scanning the area, He Yuzhu was a little disappointed. It wasn't that there was no gold or jewelry, but rather that there wasn't much. The total amount of gold buried in the entire city was no more than thirty tons.

This small amount of gold no longer interested He Yuzhu. Where there is gold, there are usually people around, and he wouldn't take it if he didn't want to cause trouble.

While quietly waiting for the day to arrive in the hotel, He Yuzhu also noticed something in his 'divine senses': a 'piece of cloth' caught his attention.

He was an old Saudi, and inside their embassy, ​​he seemed to have learned something and was trembling with fear.

They were packing their belongings and preparing to flee. They weren't embassy staff, and it's unclear why they came here. Although the two sides haven't severed ties, their relationship isn't good.

At this point, it wouldn't be easy for him to run away, as there were people from the Lion Kingdom everywhere. This kid was worth helping; having more friends meant having more options.

He Yuzhu walked to a spot not far from the gate of their embassy and waited quietly for him to come out.

Make some trouble for him, then go out and "save the beauty"—or rather, save "a piece of cloth." Old Sha has many princes and a lot of money; maybe he'll need it later.

This place is so rich!
