My girlfriend is from 1949

Chapter 368 Freebies, Alone

"Have you looked at the detailed requirements below?"

Chen Huai'an shifted his body, his shoulders almost touching his.

He pointed to the phone screen, outlining the detailed requirements for investment.

At the very top is the regulation specifying the required scale of investment.

In addition to the stipulated amount of investment, the required proportions should be followed.

Furthermore, the profits earned in the first year cannot be taken away; instead, they are converted into additional investment in the second phase!

In other words, not a single penny of the money earned in the first year of investment could be taken out of China.

All of this will be carried out through additional investment in the second phase of construction.

The government also provided generous policies, namely, land grants.

In other words, the vast tracts of land where factories will be built in the future will belong to the investors, or in other words, to the United States!

Moreover, the investment in the second phase can be used to offset taxes.

The preferential policies are so attractive, they make people drool.

For investors, no one can resist such a huge temptation.

If these conditions were applied in modern times, they would be criticized and trending on social media in no time.

They might even be accused of betraying national interests!

However, foreign investors would not be surprised if the new China offered such favorable conditions.

Having endured a century of humiliation, everything was in a state of disarray and needed to be rebuilt.

In terms of technological productivity, there is an extreme lack.

The goal is to quickly restore productivity and revitalize the nation.

Attracting foreign investment is also a good option.

Although it may harm the interests of the country to some extent.

They even lost their land and were accused of selling out the country's land.

But what about a large country that is extremely poor, controls a vast amount of land, and has a population of 5 million?

It's easy to imagine how difficult it would be to maintain this.

Even Syria, after the change of regime, also gained the support of other countries by sacrificing its own interests.

Will they announce various attractive conditions to attract foreign investment?

In the ideology of 1949, people didn't see that far ahead.

Therefore, China's announcement of these measures is entirely in line with its national conditions.

Most importantly, it was impossible to do this before, but it is possible now!

Because in the past, we needed allies, we needed the support of a powerful nation.

That's why he became a subordinate and was controlled in everything.

But now, things are different.

With the support of the modern world, neither military nor civilian life needs to rely on the support of the Big Brother.

Conversely, they even became dependent on the new China.

Therefore, when it comes to doing business with Americans, it's highly likely that they'll turn a blind eye.

Even if they protest, they can be dismissed by citing sovereignty and internal affairs.

At worst, they can at least talk their way out of it and cooperate behind the scenes.

This plan is entirely feasible.

Lin Wan frowned as she looked at the details of the plan.

"According to your plan, the United States can invest at least $100 billion a year, but we don't get much benefit from it."

I don't see much benefit for the country from this plan.

Although foreign investment was attracted, the land was lost, and due to the favorable tax exemption policy, there were not many profits.

At least for the first three years, no profits were seen.

The only positive effect was that it attracted foreign investment, created more jobs, and boosted domestic demand.

In these respects, it does indeed have an effect.

But I always feel like I've been taken advantage of.

In modern terms, these generous treatments are far too blatantly Western-worshipping!

If I were to report it, I'd be too embarrassed to say it out loud.

Chen Huai'an leaned back slightly, a meaningful smile on his face.

"What have we arrived at? We've arrived at factories and investments, of course!"

All of these investments will be ours then!

No, they all belong to the people!

And based on my understanding of Americans, they certainly won't miss this opportunity.

In order to annex Chinese territory, the government will promote increased investment.

When the time comes, these annexed territories will be the nails that the US has driven into our country!

Given America's wariness and greed towards us, they will not refuse!

Based on my calculations, the investment will reach at least $300 billion by then!

Lin Wan blinked her big eyes and covered her red lips with her small hands.

His big eyes were full of surprise.

She finally understood what this man was up to.

This isn't about attracting investment; it's about casting bait and waiting to hunt!

All those previous preferential policies were nothing more than pig farming.

Once they're fattened up, they'll be slaughtered.

What Chen Huai'an wanted was not the profits he earned.

They're going to swallow up the factories and all the investments in the United States!

We must use an iron fist to wipe them all out!

This plan is insane.

Lin Wan blinked, her pretty face filled with shock.

Although the plan sounds appealing, doing so would completely sever ties with the United States.

He hurriedly whispered a reminder: "If we do this, our reputation will be affected internationally. Who will dare to invest in China in the future?"

This is a very practical question.

Only a good business environment can attract investment.

Lin Wan has been in the modern world for half a year.

In this age of information overload, I've heard about the deeds of Indians.

Moreover, they should take this as a warning and use it as a negative example.

In India, no matter who invests, they will become the ones who get exploited.

Even though Coca-Cola's revenue is only 300 billion, it dares to issue a sky-high fine of 2000 billion.

Ultimately, all of these investments were forced to exit.

Now, everyone shakes their heads at the mere mention of investing in an Indian country.

Fearing being exploited, even their factory was confiscated!

Hearing about India's reputation, they would shy away, and they wouldn't even dare to touch the foreign elites who were being touted.

This is what happens when your reputation is ruined.

Now they're actually going to learn from the Indians' ways? How are we going to attract investment in the future?

This short-sighted, self-destructive approach is absolutely unacceptable.

Chen Huai'an smiled and said, "You've forgotten... the Korean War?"

His voice was calm and collected, and he offered his explanation without waiting for any questions.

"Of course I know that this short-sighted approach of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs is not acceptable."

However, in special circumstances, special methods can be used.

You should know that the outbreak of the Korean War was inevitable.

Both domestic forces are trying to swallow each other up.

It was the forces behind both sides that were stirring things up.

This battle was unavoidable.

To maintain peace on the border and prevent the enemy from setting up artillery at our doorstep, we...

Sending troops to resist the enemy was inevitable.

When the Korean War breaks out next year, our relationship with the United States will plummet to its lowest point.

All trade will be disrupted.

The United States will also join forces with other countries to impose blockades and sanctions on us.

Of course, so-called joint sanctions are no match for the interests at stake.

Modern China has thwarted the enemy's plots with several counterattacks.

The so-called blockade only lasted for one or two years during the war.

Even after the war ends, horses will still run and dances will still be performed.

"No one can stop people from doing business."

Chen Huai'an paused briefly and took a sip of cola.

Historical records show that the United States has used many shameless tactics against us!

One of them is the confiscation of assets.

The Americans were enraged after we sent troops.

The U.S. government announced the confiscation of Chinese assets in the United States.

At the time, a total of $8.05 million was confiscated.

However, my country subsequently announced countermeasures.

They confiscated $80 billion in American assets in China.

They confiscated each other's assets, and their relationship became very strained.

Although it was announced that it was not confiscated, but rather temporarily frozen.

However, relations did not improve until 1979.

The United States and China signed the Agreement on Settling Asset Claims, and the United States unfrozen and returned all frozen assets to China on October 1 of the same year.

However, the returned assets amounted to only tens of millions.

So this is a messy account that can never be settled.

Even if relations between China and the US improve in the future, we cannot return all the confiscated assets.

Chen Huai'an paused briefly, raised a finger, and smiled excitedly.

"Moreover... the 10 billion in 1949 and the 10 billion in 1979 are not the same concept."

These assets, confiscated in 1949, were a huge loss for the impoverished country.

The role it can play is enormous!

The value it can generate is far more than just tens of billions!

Since it's going to be confiscated sooner or later, why not maximize the profits?

80 billion is too little, we need to invest at least 300 billion!

Therefore, the preferential policies given in the early stage only covered the feed for pig farming.

Because in the end, everything will return to the people.

Even the land that was sold was taken back to the state.

We didn't lose any land, and we even got the Americans to pay and work to build factories.

Why not?

Lin Wan was astonished when she heard the complete plan.

This is absolutely insane and utterly shameless!

But...she really likes it!

Having lived in modern times for half a year, I was already aware of the various shameless practices of the United States.

It's ironic that a country that can break agreements at any time and has no credibility whatsoever is touted by a group of people as having a spirit of contract!

If the United States does indeed confiscate Chinese assets first, then taking corresponding retaliatory measures would be reasonable and compliant.

Lin Wan immediately picked up her phone and searched for related content.

Thanks to the information overload we have today, I found the relevant information I wanted in less than 30 seconds.

The more she looked, the deeper her brows furrowed, and the angrier her pretty face became.

I have gained a new understanding of the shamelessness of the Americans.

Lin Wan searched for a lot of information about the Korean War in the modern world.

But a war that lasted for several years had brought about too many events.

Therefore, it is impossible to know everything without missing a single detail.

Let alone a person from the Republic of China era who only lived there for half a year, even a modern person...

How many modern people know that in 1950, the United States enacted a policy that forcibly froze $8.05 million of Chinese assets?

Although it's called a freeze, it's practically the same as confiscation.

Lin Wan carefully reviewed the relevant information; only with a more comprehensive understanding could she compile a report.

This is an important piece of information that was almost overlooked.

Although the new China today has earned a lot of foreign exchange by exporting items such as stockings, canned goods, televisions, and tape recorders.

A mere $8.05 million is no longer as important as it once was.

However, the fact that the United States confiscated Chinese assets after the start of the war is something that must be taken seriously.

We need to both prevent ourselves from suffering major losses and ensure that the Americans continue to confiscate our assets according to the established pattern.

Only if the United States takes action will we have a legitimate reason to retaliate.

"That's right, we can't let ourselves be taken advantage of!"

Lin Wan clenched her small fist, a smile of approval on her face.

I strongly agree with this plan.

Although they offer great preferential policies in the early stages, it makes people feel uncomfortable.

However, all of it can be recovered a year later.

It's like the saying, "You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub."

Because of the greed of Western capitalists, and their deep-seated contempt for our carelessness.

This strategy is guaranteed to succeed.

At that time, it would be equivalent to the United States providing money and manpower to build factories and supply machinery and equipment for the new China.

"Hehe, you're so smart."

Lin Wan smiled radiantly and couldn't help but offer a compliment.

With this plan in place, I'll be able to offer effective suggestions once I get to Beiping.

Although it wasn't a big deal, it was a way of making up for many problems by pretending not to know.

The two chatted for a while longer before returning to their respective rooms.

However, Lin Wan did not go to sleep.

Instead, he opened his laptop and started searching for relevant information.

And organize it into a document, and then write it into a complete plan.

Then I used the printer on the writing desk to print out several copies.

She is already adept at using these modern technologies.

Even when typing on the keyboard, I can still type 30 words per minute.

That speed is definitely too slow for a typist.

But for ordinary people, that's already very fast.

Then I organized the necessary items and stayed up until midnight before finally going to sleep.

After all, we'll be going to Beiping after we get back, so we naturally need to be well prepared.

Even with thorough preparation, I was still nervous about meeting some of the most respected people.

next day

Chen Huai'an and Lin Wan went to the warehouse.

After everyone left, they retrieved the stored goods.

After only a brief stop, they went straight home.

Lin Wan, dressed in clothing brought from the Republican era, had a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

"This time, my stay will be as short as seven days and as long as ten days."

Now that the whole country has been basically liberated and enemy agents have been largely eliminated, it is still quite safe.

I'm on a military train, so there won't be any danger.

Don't worry, I brought a camera and will bring back a group photo.

I remember those genuine collections of the old man's poems that I bought at Xinhua Bookstore.

Don't worry, I'll get all their autographs for them.

You need to be careful during this time and avoid causing trouble.

The main problem is that your current fighting skills are amazing; I'm worried you might accidentally kill someone.

I'll be back soon, wait for me.

Lin Wan waved goodbye reluctantly, then turned and stepped into the passageway.

After a short while, the space returned to normal.

Chen Huai'an withdrew his gaze and returned to the spacious living room.

Suddenly, I realized that my home, which I used to find quite cozy, had become cold and deserted.

The two spent half a year together, and the distance between them never exceeded 100 meters.

Now that we've suddenly been separated for ten days, I still feel quite uneasy.

Standing on the balcony, his expression was very complicated.

at the same time

In a house directly opposite, various advanced instruments were beeping.

The house, originally intended for surveillance, has now been equipped with numerous machines.

Moreover, there were quite a few elderly people with gray hair, who looked like scholars.

He was intently watching the data on the machine.

"An energy fluctuation just appeared, the same as before, it should indicate that a time travel has been initiated!"

"The living room lights are on; Target 1 is on the balcony, but Target 2 is not seen!"
