In name only: The land of Handong, I shall rule its fate.

The white piece fell from Gao Yuliang's fingertips. Looking at the board divided into pieces by the black pieces, who could still tell who had the right path and who had the wrong path at the start?

He couldn't think of any way to break the deadlock.

There's not even a clue.

It's better to abandon the pawn and accept defeat.

Gao Yuliang has never been someone who cannot accept failure; he has always been this way, and he will always be this way in the future.

"I thought I was on the right path, but I never expected to be trapped in the web you've woven all along."

Gao Yuliang sighed.

"It's just food, there's no need to make such a big deal out of it."

Lin Zhiyuan picked up the chess pieces and put them back in his box, then pursed his lips. "A great professor can have such insights just from playing chess. He was born in the wrong era. If it were a thousand or eight hundred years earlier, there would definitely be a second Immortal Poet and a Sage of Lyrics in history."

what!

Gao Yuliang laughed.

In this game of chess, which lasted less than two hours, he had lost count of how many times Lin Zhiyuan had challenged him. Lin Zhiyuan was a complete scoundrel, arrogant and unreasonable.

He praised his chess skills.

It's unbelievable that they can get a few sarcastic remarks from you.

The table was quickly cleared away, and there were no more barriers between the two.

"Come on, let's talk about the planning for Diaozhou."

Lin Zhiyuan leaned back comfortably on the soft sofa, his legs crossed, his left hand resting on his thigh and tapping it casually, as he took a delicious sip of tea.

I must say! Professor Gao's tea is really good.

and…

He also recognized the familiar taste.

"Governor Zhiyuan, aren't you afraid I'll turn my back on you?"

Gao Yuliang asked tentatively.

After all, he hasn't even written a list of project resources yet, so Lin Zhiyuan is going to just tell him directly.

This indifferent attitude.

It tickled his itch once again.

"This is a customized opportunity for Diaozhou's development, not a generic answer. Do you think I'm afraid you won't be able to steal it?"

Lin Zhiyuan felt very tired.

Dealing with such cunning literati is exhausting. A single word or gesture can trigger hundreds or even thousands of possibilities in their minds, allowing them to interpret countless signals.

Actually, he didn't mean to express anything at all.

Sure enough, he still preferred dealing with simple-minded people like Li Dakang, Yang Wanli, and Wen Yiyan. Although he was a bit more rebellious, there were still clues to his actions.

Except for Qi Tongwei.

Sensitive and insecure yet fiercely competitive, they are truly a match made in heaven as master and apprentice.

"The planning for Diaozhou is naturally used for Diaozhou."

Kao Yu-liang narrowed his eyes slightly behind his glasses. "But the one who proposed and implemented the plan became me."

Lin Zhiyuan rolled his eyes.

You could call him a worldly professor, but he has the pride of a scholar; you could call him refined, but he openly discusses plagiarism.

"As long as you can land 100% of the time."

Lin Zhiyuan put down his teacup, clasped his hands together at his abdomen, and said, "If you say it's yours, then it's yours."

Whatever!

He wished that every member of the Standing Committee could be like his beloved Secretary Sha, proactively and enthusiastically taking charge of the development of a region, so that he could relax.

You'll also have to personally clear mines less often.

"Please teach me, Governor Zhiyuan!"

Gao Yuliang stared into his eyes, stunned. Could anyone really give up such an incredible political achievement without a second thought?

But soon...

The esteemed professor, who had dedicated his life to teaching and nurturing students and enjoyed a smooth and successful career even after entering the system, bowed his head sincerely, like a student thirsting for more knowledge, wanting to hear more teachings.

"Diaozhou is different from other cities. Its economic pillars have already taken shape and its future layout has been determined, but it also suffers from the drawbacks of poor and outdated existing pillar industries."

Lin Zhiyuan got straight to the point and stated everything in detail:

"The next ten years for Diaozhou will be a decade of focusing on industrial development."

The complete cluster of silicon wafers, solar cells, and modules is Diaozhou's greatest asset today. Building upon this foundation, and continuously expanding to form a complete closed loop covering power generation, energy storage, transmission, application, and grid connection, it is poised to become China's new energy capital, with an industry scale reaching trillions of yuan.

"It can be used for both offense and defense."

"Continuously developing clean energy is the future trend; downstream, it can provide products for new energy vehicle companies, equipment manufacturers, and industrial assembly companies in Jingzhou and even across the country."

"Furthermore, machinery and equipment are the most stable and important pillar of Diaozhou today. The midstream component supply chain is well-established, and it would be a pity to give up halfway."

"So I added a bonus to Diaozhou: high-end machinery."

"Three directions."

"I. Rail transit equipment. Relying on the existing foundation, we will not engage in competition for complete vehicles, but will focus on traction systems, lightweight car bodies, and maglev vehicle components."

"Second, industrial machine tools. Relying on the industrial base of Lingbei District, we will focus on high-end CNC systems, spindles, lead screw guides, and precision cutting tools to fill the gaps in domestic machine tool components that are currently in short supply."

"Third, industrial robots. Focus on precision reducers and servo motors to serve lithium battery and automotive production lines. Do not develop humanoid robots! Do not develop humanoid robots! Do not develop humanoid robots!"

"I'll say it three times because it's important."

"Finally, the metallurgical industry needs to be reformed. It has rapidly declined from a pillar industry, and will no longer be a pillar, but a burden."

"First, convert ordinary steel to special steel to supply the automotive, equipment, and other industries;"

"Second, shift towards new carbon materials. Large-tow carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, and high-end composite materials are all viable options, serving the production needs of wind turbine blades, lightweight automobiles, and hydrogen storage tanks. We aim to establish a complete chain from raw materials to finished products, striving to make Diaozhou a major hub for the carbon fiber industry."

That's about it.

"The others..."

"You were once the Party Secretary of a city, so consider making some changes."

it is good!

Gao Yuliang nodded happily, stood up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, teacher, for teaching me."

No way!

Lin Zhiyuan stood up abruptly and raised his hand to stop Gao Yuliang from bowing deeply. This was not a self-criticism at the Standing Committee meeting.

He can't take it!

If word gets out, he'll explode on the spot.

Shocking! Lin Zhiyuan coerced the Party Secretary of the leadership team to bow and pay his respects to him.

Old Man Yan could hang him up from the roof beam and whip him, even if the belt broke, he would whip him for three days and three nights.

I was rash.

Gao Yuliang realized what had happened, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, but he had genuinely wanted to express his gratitude.

"It's Diaozhou... I'm sorry."

Gao Yuliang changed the subject and apologized, saying, "I had reasons why I had to do it, but I can guarantee that what I did was in accordance with the responsibilities I bear."

"Can you control it? Can you take responsibility?"

Lin Zhiyuan's counter-question struck a chord with the audience.

"Capable of taking responsibility! Capable of managing affairs!"

Gao Yuliang nodded, and said firmly, "But what if it gets out of control..."

"Then sweep them all into the trash heap."

Lin Zhiyuan grabbed his suit jacket from the sofa, said coldly and ruthlessly, and walked away resolutely without looking back, "Secretary Gao, remember to send the project list over as soon as possible."

it is good!

Gao Yuliang smiled again as he watched the departing figure, his face showing the relief of being freed from the quagmire, and he lingered longingly at the large office.

everything…

It's finally all over.

I wish to find a way to have both worldly benefits, so that I may be true to both the Buddha and my beloved.
