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

With clear organization and well-defined division of labor, an efficient team begins to operate.

The fact that North American companies are making huge investments in mainland China naturally attracts local managers; in this era where the economy is the top priority, the hundreds of millions of dollars coming from North America have naturally attracted a lot of attention, as this is a major project.

The team heading to Beijing consisted of three people from North America and three from Hong Kong; as for Shanghai, Zhang San was very familiar with the area, having crossed paths with people there many times when he sold waste paper.

"I want to invest here in Pudong and build a business center that integrates retail, shopping, entertainment, dining, office buildings, and hotels..."

In the conference room, Zhang San described his idea to the people who had come with him. He spoke very well, without even noticing that everyone around him had a look of delight on their faces. Just from the description, one could tell how big this investment was.

After he finished speaking, everyone started a heated discussion, including the students who were about to graduate this year and the three people from Hong Kong and North America who were with him.

At first, everyone thought the three foreigners were the main people in charge, but with Director Chen there, everyone realized that the young Zhang San was the investor.

"We are short of steel here, and we need a lot of steel bars to build it properly," the local official said hesitantly, explaining the difficulties they faced.

This place is like a huge construction site now, with building materials needed everywhere, and the most lacking items are steel bars and cement.

"We'll figure this out; we have the channels." Zhang San wasn't joking. Jim had already taken control of one of the top three steel mills in Asia, without spending much money, and nobody cared about the mill.

For no other reason than that my older brother doesn't have time to build skyscrapers there; the land is vast and sparsely populated, so building single-story houses is enough. I need them myself, so it's perfect to have them transported over and build a house.

When people heard that he had a way to get steel bars, some of them started to have designs on him.

The people next to him said, "Mr. Zhang, there's a shortage of steel bars in China right now. Could you send more over? The market price has already risen to over 4200 yuan per ton; we can arrange for those people to trade with you at 4200 yuan per ton."

Last year, the dual-track system was abolished, but the country was in short supply of everything. At that time, steel bars transported from there became very valuable.

"The railcars that have been transported here..." Zhang San raised his concerns and difficulties.

"We've got it sorted out."

"Okay!" Zhang San said, then paused for a moment and said, "I can buy your White Cat Cosmetics, in US dollars."

"We need to go back and discuss this in a meeting."

"That's natural."

This company was later bought by Li, a big shot in Hong Kong, and now it may be taken over by Zhang San; he not only wants to buy White Cat, but also a large number of companies, including their land and product lines.

While Zhang San was haggling over the price, the negotiation team in Beijing encountered a problem: they actually wanted steel bars? The boss said there were plenty.

However, Zhang San was unaware that he had many other things to do.

After both parties confirmed all the conditions, the negotiation for this 200-hectare land was completed, costing only 40 million RMB, which is equivalent to more than 7.5 million USD. At that time, one US dollar was equal to 5.3227 RMB.

Zhang San had something to say about this exchange rate. On the black market, one US dollar was equal to 10 RMB, but in a few years, it would become one US dollar to 8 RMB. This would cause him to lose more than 20 million RMB. However, he did not invest so many US dollars all at once, but in batches. Moreover, he might not invest this foreign exchange now.

He'll start by acting as a middleman. He originally had $100 million prepared, but now... he doesn't need it for the time being.

Since the introduction of program-controlled telephones in the region in 1982, program-controlled telephones have been introduced nationwide, eliminating the need for operators to conduct calls.

He immediately contacted Jim, who was now living a very good life up north. He heard that several beautiful women were serving him his every need, and he was living like a god.

This is thanks to the continuous flow of supplies from the mainland to the other side, while a large amount of supplies are being transported from the other side to the mainland.

He hadn't originally intended to control the steel mill; not only were there many workers, but it also required a greater supply of food and light industrial goods.

Moreover, he wasn't located in the capital, but people there needed food and light industrial products, so some of them knew him—a good man from America who could get large quantities of food and light industrial products, which delighted them.

However, the fact that the guy didn't want rubles made them very angry; were rubles really that worthless?

Jim opened a bank in the north, which also sells coffee, food, and light industrial products.

Is there any guarantee that Zhang San's supplies will be delivered to these places? Can the speed of delivery keep up with the speed of consumption?

Sure, don't forget he has eight transport planes, which are more than enough to transport all that stuff; airplanes are so useful, we're currently discussing trading for more.

In Zhang San's view, these things were much better in his hands than in other people's hands, after all, he was still sending food and light industrial products to his elder brother.

Unlike Indochina, who borrowed 5 billion rubles from Big Brother and then the ruble depreciated, only having to repay a few thousand dollars, Indochina was overjoyed and gained billions of dollars for nothing.

In the future, many videos will expose the shortcomings of Indian 3 to the public, but in reality, they are hiding their weaknesses; the fact that they have so many software engineers in North America shows that they are a smart race.

Compared to those middlemen operating along the border, Zhang San's large-scale, purposeful transactions are actually safer; both sides get what they need, achieving a win-win situation.

Zhang San originally intended to establish a light industrial factory here, but after learning about their lifestyle, he discovered why they were called the "fighting nation"; this idea was quickly forgotten.

When Zhang San contacted Jim, Jim was eating a snack handed to him by a maid; however, after receiving Zhang San's call, he immediately switched to work reporting mode.

"We are carrying out large-scale construction on the mainland and need a lot of steel bars..." He reported the required specifications, hoping that they were not lacking them there.

Sure enough, they had everything they needed. Since the boss wanted it, he would get it done. There was food and light industrial products to supply what they needed, so all that was left for them to do was get started.
