Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Zhang San didn't stay in Dongguan for long before leaving with regret. He hadn't even experienced the all-inclusive service of Shenzhen's backyard, and his departure was somewhat rushed. It wasn't that he wanted to leave, but rather that he wanted to stay, lest he be caught with a scam...

He Meitian stayed at home for three days, then went north with Zhang San to Shanghai. This time they went on a passenger plane that he had converted from his own transport plane.

His cargo planes were carrying less cargo, so to make these transport planes more useful, they began to be converted into passenger planes, with one Chinese and one foreign pilot on board.

These modified transport planes are leased to airlines, and I hear business is good.

When the plane took off from Shenzhen, Zhang San was a little nervous. Fortunately, these pilots were elites who had been flying for many years. After the initial turbulence, the plane continued to bump along the way.

"Third Brother, your modified plane looks pretty good." Chai Xiaofen looked it up and down, then praised it with a smile.

Team Leader Luo, standing nearby, was also surprised. From his words, he realized that the plane actually belonged to Zhang San.

Zhang San said proudly, "Of course, this is the Russians' most advanced transport plane, capable of carrying five or six hundred tons."

The two didn't try to hide their conversation from others, so naturally people behind them could hear them. Moreover, Zhang San and Chai Xiaofen were speaking Mandarin.

Two hours later, the plane landed at Shanghai Airport. Zhang San came here to build a giant laundry factory.

It wasn't that he wanted to build it, but rather that he had no choice but to build such a place to process foreign waste.

Zhang San's waste recycling fund in North America has received a new task: to process the old clothes or discarded clothing that have been collected.

He didn't want to accept it at the time, but the big shots above him said he had to.

"You made money off waste paper, now you need to figure out what to do with these clothes."

These foreigners all know what Zhang San is up to on the mainland. They're not stupid; they just don't want to go through the trouble of using waste paper. With such abundant resources, why use waste paper?

Since that's the case, Zhang San had no choice but to set up this clothing processing center, forcing him to make another fortune; if he was going to build one, he had to build a big one, and he set his sights on Kun San's place, so naturally he built a large-scale clothing sterilization and cleaning center there.

Among those who came to pick up Zhang San at the airport was Director Chen (who had been promoted from director of the investment promotion office). Seeing Zhang San's grand entrance, he was quite impressed.

"Boss Zhang, is this really necessary?"

As the convoy passed by the airport, Director Chen sat in the car, looking at the people on both sides with envious glances. He knew then that this guy was getting more and more successful.

This convoy of Mercedes-Benz W14s proves that, apart from the two minibuses following behind, the three W14s are not the same three from Shenzhen.

"Director Chen, congratulations on your promotion. I don't have any gifts, so I won't give you any, in case you violate the rules." Zhang San paused for a moment and then said, "I have no choice. It makes me feel safer with so many people around."

The past year has been anything but peaceful; it has been rife with chaos.

Moreover, he rarely took the train. He still vividly remembered the train journey from Beijing to the north in May. Highway robbers and bandits still ran rampant all over the country, and Zhang San dared not let his caravan leave the province.

"I've only been promoted, I'm not some high-ranking official, I have to thank you for this."

He didn't continue the conversation, only recounting what had just happened; then, as if remembering something, he said, "I heard you're going to invest in another project. Could that project be located here?"

"Sure, it's no big deal to invest wherever an old friend asks. But I can't go back on my word to that other investment." Zhang San then explained his projects: one was to invest in a paper mill, and the other was to invest in a clothing processing center.

Director Chen fell silent after hearing this. He didn't like what Zhang San said, as the paper mill didn't fit into Shanghai's development plan.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhang San said understandingly, "Director Chen, if you have any difficulties, you can listen to my other project: a food company that produces instant noodles and sausages."

He's in North America, and he's planning to buy a lot of land to grow wheat, or buy wheat from mainland China and then produce instant noodles there.

He also plans to invest in companies like ham sausage manufacturers here, aiming to rival Youyouhui.

"This is fine, this is fine..."

Under Zhang San's gaze, Director Chen felt a little embarrassed, but only for a moment. As a veteran official, he naturally wasn't embarrassed; it was others who felt awkward.

Right now, you can make money doing anything here, as long as you get things running; moreover, the current environment is very short of money, otherwise we wouldn't have so much triangular debt.

Businesses like Zhang San's, which specialize in retail, can be considered cash cows.

The next day, together with Director Chen, they inspected the construction site, which could be said to be the largest project in the entire city of Shanghai. Zhang San asked the supervisors from Hong Kong and North America, "Are there any problems with the materials used here?"

There were many security personnel on the entire construction site. Looking at the foundation that had already been laid, someone next to him said, "Mr. Stephen, this foundation is at least seventy meters high, and the steel bars used are excellent."

These steel bars are all the best quality; there are even more steel bars than cement.

Zhang San looked at it... He couldn't understand it either, but he believed that with people from North America and Hong Kong there, as well as officials from here, there shouldn't be any problems.

Moreover, his companies in mainland China are continuously channeling cash into this project, and a large amount of building materials, especially steel bars, are all his own. Anyone who dares to misappropriate them will have them returned in the same way.

After returning from the construction site, I went with Director Chen to discuss new investment projects; along the way, Pudong looked like a huge construction site.

Zhang San was quite moved, saying, "This is a construction site now, but in the future, it will be the most prosperous place in the world!"

Director Chen also laughed and said, "This is our future calling card, so naturally we need to make it look presentable."

Why does Zhang San invest in so many companies in mainland China? It's because he has too much money. The profits generated from paper manufacturing are enormous, and if he doesn't invest, the value will depreciate, so naturally he increases his investment.

Moreover, the supermarket has a very large cash flow, which also needs to be invested; in addition to building food factories and clothing processing centers, he also wants to build logistics and warehousing centers.

His goal is simple: the mainland will definitely be the era of e-commerce in the future, and he wants to establish a logistics + e-commerce model. Before that, he naturally needs to build a logistics infrastructure that covers the entire mainland, which is warehousing. Moreover, these warehousing centers can also serve his supermarkets, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
