On March 20, Lin Johnson arrived in Hong Kong from Luohu Port. This time he had already applied for a Hong Kong and Macao pass at home. Since he only had an ID card there and did not have a Hong Kong passport, it was also very troublesome to enter and exit.

After arriving at the port, Lin Johnson boarded the plane to France again.

Before going out, Lin Johnson talked with Zhou Jianjiang, and Zhou Jianjiang told him that the province has seriously dealt with relevant personnel in the daily incident.

This crackdown on foreign photography exhibitions was done by a small group of people in the daily newspaper, not the intention of the provincial propaganda department.

When Lin Johnson learned about it, he breathed a sigh of relief. It was not just a promotional mouthpiece to deal with him.

After careful investigation, the truth was soon revealed. The editor in the daily newspaper visited Lin Johnson's photography exhibition. Lin Johnson pulled out the film. As a result, the editor was fined a month's salary by the unit for the loss of the film and wrote a check.

If this matter is in the future, it will be a very small thing, but it will be a very big thing now. It will damage public property and deduct wages to write a check. A monthly salary of several dozen yuan is the living security of the family and it will support four or five people. The severity of the writing test can be large or small, but it will also affect the future of the individual, which will be related to future promotions. If you leave dark spots in the file, it will be difficult to deal with.

The editor held a grudge against Lin Qiangsheng and wrote a verbal criticism against him. After reading it, his leader did not think anything was wrong. In addition, Lin Qiangsheng's behavior was too blatant and he publicized foreign decadent ideas on the streets. This was the first person in the country to dare to do this!

If he didn't hold him and beat him up, it would cause controversy, and the public opinion position in H Province was always like a stagnant pool. Therefore, the supervisor of the daily newspaper agreed to post this article, which was a way to throw a stone into the question of the way. He wanted to drive the political trend in the province.

"Such a person is so hateful. He just takes me out as a target in order to make a comeback! Has my permission been made?!" Lin Qiangsheng said hatefully.

Zhou Jianjiang smiled and said persuasively: "Let's learn from one's mistakes! Although this matter has not been a big deal, you should stop making any tricks recently! Now the whole country is carrying out rehabilitation work. So this matter is so easy to be suppressed. Let's calm down in the future and learn from the lessons!"

Lin Johnson shook his head and sighed, "I plan to go abroad again. Senior brother, please help me get a Hong Kong and Macao pass."

"You want to go abroad? Is there anything wrong?" Zhou Jianjiang thought for a while and found that if Lin Qiang-Chengsheng wanted to go abroad, it was really convenient for him to go abroad.

Lin Johnson said: "There is a company abroad that sent me an invitation letter and I also went abroad for inspection!"

Zhou Jianjiang wanted to ask clearly what company it was, but he didn't know much about this junior brother. Therefore, he didn't ask the questions. He sighed in his heart. It seemed that it would be better to finish these thousands of dollars soon! Otherwise, he would always run errands for this junior brother!

Zhou Jianjiang said happily: "Okay, Hong Kong and Macao pass, right? Give me a photo and I will get it for you!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "It's already ready!" He took out a 2-inch photo from his pocket and put it on the table.

In this way, through Zhou Jianjiang's relationship, I successfully obtained a Hong Kong and Macao pass without being reviewed by the relevant departments to get a few certificates back and forth.

"Johnson and Johnson, the factory in Hongqi Commune is almost finished! When will the equipment be entered?" Lin Xiang sent his younger brother out of the house and asked Lin Johnson.

"I have ordered the products with the Power Machinery Factory. After you ask He Zhenguo to build the factory, just take a letter of introduction to ask the machinery factory to ship the equipment. The machinery factory is also responsible for installing the equipment. Let's talk about it when I come back. It will take half a month later!" Lin Qiangsheng said to his sister.

Lin Xiang grabbed his younger brother and said, "You can come back soon! The factory is built, but there are no technicians, and the farmers can't do anything. What should I do?"

"There are some masters in the city who give up jobs to their children! You are an educated youth, but you have never heard of any classmate's parents giving up jobs to their children? You ask their classmates to help you find your friends, one passes to ten, ten passes to hundreds. You can always find a few masters who know how to operate a machine tool, right?" Lin Qiangsheng said indifferently. It's just a small hardware, why can't others do it? Lin Qiangsheng also wants to be the hardware king.

Lin Xiang said in surprise: "It's okay! I've heard of it, but can these masters go to our job?"

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Ask skilled masters hundreds of yuan in salary. They are sure to be happy! However, if you go with He Zhenguo, don't make too much noise!"

Lin Xiang nodded and said, "Of course! This is going to destroy state-owned enterprises. We are not fools, so of course we have to inquire quietly!"

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and said, "These skilled masters are also a waste of time at home. We can give them the best of their work. Don't worry, there will be many people who are willing to come!"

How did the individual economy develop after the reform and opening up develop? It is not just to poach the corners of state-owned enterprises, to invite skilled masters in state-owned enterprises to work, and then occupy the state-owned enterprise market. Small factories with dozens of people and hundreds of people can squeeze state-owned enterprises into difficulties.

"My parents asked me to tell you that after arriving at GD, go to the troops there to find the elder brother and ask him to contact his family as soon as possible!" Lin Xiang said instructed.

Lin Johnson nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I understand!"

Lin Johnson set out on the 14th, and when he arrived at GD Province, it was already on the 16th, China officially announced the end of the self-defense counterattack against Vietnam.

After this war, China and the West ushered in the so-called ten-year honeymoon period. It was after this war that the Western world signed a series of arms sales agreements with China, including French dolphin helicopters (now Z9), air defense missiles, current Red Flag 7, British long-range radar, US electronic equipment J-8 fire control system, Black Hawk helicopters, etc.

The United States is getting closer and closer to China, trying to win over China to fight against the Soviet Union, and gradually opened up some civil high-tech exchanges.

Lin Johnson took the military license and ran to the army station of the eldest brother Lin Xiangdong. Except for some left-behind personnel, the barracks were empty.

"The troops will be launched soon, come back then!" A left-behind veteran said to Lin Johnson.

Lin Qiangsheng sighed and asked, "Are all the troops led new recruits?"

The central government's idea this time was to train new recruits and allow them to grow up quickly through cruel wars. Although there were many casualties like this, it was better than these veterans who had experienced those ten years, abandoned military training and were only able to do construction farm work.

The left-behind veteran nodded and said dejectedly: "Yes. They are all new recruits, and they also like young people. Alas, when the troops come back, I should be discharged from the army."

Listening to the veteran's nagging, Lin Qiang-sheng nodded and said, "I'll leave a note. This is the phone number. When my brother's troops come back, let him contact his home immediately. My parents miss him very much!" "Don't worry! After the war, all the soldiers wanted to contact their homes! I have received many military families who came to inquire about the news." The veteran took the note and said.

Johnson Lin shook his head and walked out of the barracks. It took a few days to delay. By the time he arrived in France, it was already 20. "Hi, Lin!" Stephanie shouted with a card holding up, and the word Lin was written on it.

Lin Johnson walked over with a smile, hugged Stephanie, and said with a smile: "Stefanie. You are so tall that I look like a child!"

Stephanie showed a big smile and quipped: "It's impolite to say that a lady! If you want to be strong, start eating more! There is also more exercise and exercise more, so you will definitely be strong!"

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "Look like Schwarzenegger, haha!"

"Schwarzenegger?! Who is he?" Stephanie asked in confusion. "Uh, Mr. Bodybuilder!" Lin Johnson immediately thought that Schwarzenegger was not doing well in the United States now, and had not filmed his famous work "Terminator" and then changed his words.

Stephanie smiled and said, "I'll take you to the hotel. I heard you have new ideas. I want to hear it."

Lin Johnson nodded, unwilling to waste more time. The two went to a hotel in Paris Abbey 1. District 1 is the oldest and smallest district in Paris. It has many large commercial companies and government agencies. The headquarters of the Bank of France is on the Frierre de France in the 1st district of Paris. The Louvre is also in this district.

In the room, Johnson Lin said to Stephanie: "I want you to stop increasing your oil futures and mobilize all your funds to the US stock market. I want to short the stock of a company! I expect this company's stock price to fall by 45% or even more than 50% in the next half month!"

Stephanie was extremely surprised when she heard Lin Johnson's words and said quickly: "Wait, which company do you want to short? You must reveal your thoughts to me! Have you obtained any insider information? Or is it a company that has encountered any trouble? You must tell me the truth!"

Lin Johnson smiled and said, "Yes! Big trouble! I want to short the stock of Bavi. I expect that in the next ten days, Babcock and Wilcox will definitely encounter big trouble!"

Stephanie recalled and quickly shouted: "Oh my God! This is an important nuclear equipment manufacturing company in the United States! Are you crazy? What inside story do you know?!"

Lin Johnson shook his head and said excitedly: "It cannot be revealed now. In short, I want you to help me short the stock of this company. How much money can we raise at present? Is it 300 million US dollars or 400 million US dollars?! What is the leverage of the US stock market? Is it 400 times?!"

Stephanie waved her hands repeatedly and said firmly: "No, Mr. Lin! Without 400 times leverage, even Bank of France is not OK! I will not be crazy with you, I must stop you from doing this! If you don't tell me any insider information, I will definitely not do such crazy things! If your news is inaccurate and you will suffer huge losses in operation so much money, I will be sued by financial institutions! I will go to jail, do you understand? There is a great risk!"

"Oh! No!" Seeing Stephanie rejecting him very toughly, Lin Johnson remorsely turned around in the guest room, and he knew it would be difficult to convince this woman!

Stephanie shook her head helplessly and persuaded: "Mr. Lin, if you put your funds in oil futures now, you can make a lot of money. Now everyone knows that oil futures will rise. At present, each barrel of oil in the international market has risen to $15. Look! You bought it for 13 yuan or 14 yuan, and you have made it now! And I will continue to invest the remaining leverage funds in oil futures. According to reliable news, Iranian oil is about to end its foreign shipment! Each barrel of oil is expected to have a lot of room for growth!"

Lin Johnson pulled his hair and shouted loudly: "The oil futures are too slow to keep up with my plan! I now know a great opportunity to make money. Being able to double my funds immediately and repay the borrowed money can make me a billionaire! But I can't get in there now, how can I feel at ease! Oh my God!!"

Watching Lin Johnson yelling, Stephanie stood up and said to Lin Johnson: "Your decision is very dangerous! What trouble will Bavi Company encounter? If you don't explain it to me, then I'm sorry! I am your investment consultant, I must be responsible for your funds and also for myself. If you don't tell me the truth, don't want me to participate!"

After cursing, Lin Johnson sat on the bed and hugged his head. He did not count on Stephanie's failure to cooperate! He thought that as long as he went abroad, he could easily come and go in the financial market!

Stephanie hesitated for a while and walked outside. She turned around and said, "Lin! Calm down first, wait until you calm down, and then consider whether to continue to find me as your investment consultant!"

Lin Johnson waved his hand, Stephanie shook her head and walked out of the door.

In the next few days, Johnson Lin did not give up. Every day, he went to Stephanie's office to tell her about her plans. He told Stephanie that Babcock and Wilcox would definitely have big trouble. He asked her to believe her. The reason why she couldn't tell her was because Johnson Lin did have reasons that he could not say.

One afternoon, Lin Johnson came to see Stephanie while she was having lunch. Stephanie was finally so entangled by Lin Johnson that she couldn't stand it anymore. She said, "Okay! I'll help you contact the loan and use your oil futures to mortgage it. If the bank is willing to lend you money, then it won't do my business! Don't bother me anymore, you gambler!"

"Pa" Lin Johnson patted his palm and laughed: "I just said you will definitely have a solution!"

Stephanie shook her head, flipped through the address book and said, "I don't guarantee that you can get the money, and I don't participate in your shorting of American companies. If I participate, I may have trouble going to the United States in the future!"

Lin Johnson thought to himself: Americans may really be able to investigate themselves! It seems that they have to hire a lawyer, but they won’t say it on TV. American lawyers are very powerful!

The Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred at 4 a.m. on March 28. After the accident, the whole United States was shocked and residents near the nuclear power plant were frightened. About 200,000 people evacuated the area. People from major cities in the United States and residents in areas where nuclear power plants are being built held rallies and demonstrations, demanding the suspension of construction or closure of nuclear power plants. Governments in some Western European countries had to re-inspect the nuclear power development plan.

On April 1, US President Carter arrived at the site of the Sanli Island nuclear accident, personally inspected the local nuclear facilities, and announced to the United States that the United States would stop building all nuclear power plants. In 30 years, the United States completely gave up the construction of nuclear power plants. Westinghouse even sold nuclear technology to Japanese companies to build nuclear power plants overseas to maintain its technical capabilities!

Bavi, a manufacturer that supplies equipment for the San Mile Island nuclear power plant, is in big trouble. It will pay more than $1 billion in nuclear facilities maintenance costs and hundreds of tons of nuclear fuel to be processed. Within a year, the important American nuclear equipment manufacturing company with large-scale nuclear equipment manufacturing capabilities went bankrupt.

You should know that the technology owned by this company is more advanced than the technological strength of China in 1979. There are still many companies like a large company that owns a technology stronger than a country’s technology!

The stock of this Bavi company was also hit hard in this nuclear accident. When the US government decided to announce the story of the nuclear incident to the world on March 29, it was the first heavy blow. Then another round of blow was when Carter announced that the United States would stop building all nuclear power plants and nuclear facilities. Then all residents near nuclear power plants in the United States and residents near nuclear power plants were protesting against nuclear power plants. Bavi has to pay huge sums of money to deal with the sequelae of the accident, which was a little worse than injury and sprinkled a few handfuls of large grains of salt!

Lin Johnson used oil futures mortgage to raise margin trading and borrowed another $50 million. He then raised $300 million through repeated loans from several banks without being discouraged.

In 1979, it was in a period of crazy rise in international credit, because oil-producing countries made a lot of dollars due to the rise in oil prices! And these wealthy local tyrants had nowhere to spend the US dollar, so a huge amount of funds flowed back to Europe and the United States.

At the same time, Europe and the United States are in a period of severe stagflation, and banks have a large amount of excess funds that cannot be spent. When the delegation led by Vice Premier Gu Mu visited Europe in 1978, it proposed to provide China with loans of tens of billions of dollars or 5 billion US dollars without signing a contract, just shake hands! It can be seen that Europe and the United States have huge excess funds at this time.

At this time, the US banking industry did not need to be responsible for the financial situation of overseas branches, which led to a period of great prosperity in international credit business. Many international loans, banks are not even sure which banks the lender has applied for loans, and how many are the phenomenon of multiple loans.

This situation was not until 1981 when President Reagan came to power, implemented a dollar austerity policy, and maintained a decade of international credit boom. The period of international credit that officially ended! (To be continued)
