Chapter 481: The medicine cannot be stopped
Lin Qiangsheng woke up at the expressions of the leaders and said, "I also saw that the city people extremely need new clothes for cloth. Old-colored and poor-quality fabrics have gradually fallen out of favor. This can be seen from the trend of bell-bottom trousers and windbreakers that have been popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan in the past two years. Chinese people, like the people of the world, are born with fashion and fashion! The city people have money but they lack cloth tickets. They can't get a few feet of tickets in the factory for a year when they have serious work. This market contains a lot of opportunities! The rural people also have cloth tickets in their hands, but they are not as popular as the city people. They pursue the strength and durability of cloth, so the rural people have a lot of cloth tickets that cannot be spent in their hands and wastes them!"
"So I went to the countryside to exchange such idle cloth tickets for money, and then bought some agricultural and sideline products that the city people lacked. The city people were happy to buy urgently needed fabrics and sideline food. The farmers were also happy to have money, so that they could use money to buy daily necessities that they could not buy in the countryside. I thought that this was the case and did the same. I thought nothing wrong. I also served the people. This is a great thing for Suntory!"
All the leaders smiled and said that they had revealed Lin Johnson. Mr. Hu asked with a smile: "One is that the people in the city benefit and the other is that the people in the country benefit. Where do these three gains come from?"
Lin Johnson pointed to his nose and said, "Isn't this me? I am the third one to benefit!"
"Oh? That's true!" Mr. Hu turned around and thought for a while, nodded and said.
Zhao Ziyang smiled and nodded at Lin Johnson, and said nothing more. Perhaps it was because of Lin Johnson's sarcastic words just now that he was really scared and dared not talk to this young man anymore.
"Kobayashi, I have a question to ask you, how did you earn so much US dollars abroad later?" Chairman Li, who was cheerful and asked what everyone wanted to say.
In addition, he is also in charge of diplomatic affairs and is also very good at foreign affairs. In recent years, he has visited many countries such as Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Latin America and other countries and has exchanged with leaders of various countries. He has also conducted research on the economies of various countries and learned a lot of useful governance experiences and profound lessons.
They are not very clear about Lin Johnson's success, and their senior leaders, like Li Ka-shing's development history, are very clear. And Lin Johnson's reputation has become famous in just a few years, which really makes them feel incredible and stunned!
Is it true that Johnson Lin is still a very successful financial speculator as the American media once reported?
Facing the puzzled eyes of everyone, Lin Johnson had nothing to hide. These things are known to be hidden from the country. He avoided the important things: "At that time, I only brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to Paris, which happened to be a period when borrowing US dollars from various international banks was quite easy to be unregulated. At that time, these international banks had great financial loopholes. During that time, I borrowed a large amount of US dollars, and these banks did not care whether I had borrowed money from other banks or checked records. As long as I proved my assets, they all lent me a large amount of US dollars cash without considering it. So the US dollars I available at that time were like snowballing.
I went a few times and then it increased several times. Then I went to the United States to use this money to start speculating on oil and gold. There was a period of time when the international gold price rose sharply, and the amount of funds increased dozens of times through the leverage effect. As the gold price soared, the huge amount of funds I had also doubled. Even if I paid off the loan, I made a lot of money! Later, I invested in international oilfield futures and other things, and invested in some more optimistic US stocks, acquired some industries mainly computer and electronic technology, hotel industry, real estate industry, and then invested in large projects to run enterprises. In this way, my assets gradually accumulated more and more!"
"The most important thing for a person is to earn his first pot of gold. With the first pot of gold, everything is easy to do, but it is hard to move without money! Plus some of my lucky little predictions. Hehe."
Lin Johnson looked at the leaders present and smiled cunningly, and continued: "Actually, it is not necessarily a good thing to have too much US dollars now! For example, I am thinking about how to keep my deposits worth. The US dollar now has a great risk of depreciation. If I lose a basis point, I will lose tens of millions of dollars. There are also foreigners who try to make money from me in different ways. I am lucky that I haven't been cheated in these years! It just so happens that the country's economy has improved and large-scale projects have been launched again, so I have found a lot of channels to spend money!"
Lin Johnson raised his wine glass and smiled at the leaders: "Thank you!"
The leaders listened carefully, and each showed confusion, confused and somewhat funny expressions. If it was so easy to make money in the world, how could China have less than one billion US dollars of foreign exchange now!
"Kobayashi caught up with the good times. I also understand some situations in this regard. In the late 1970s, it was a period of rapid increase in international crude oil prices. The Middle East made a lot of dollars and they couldn't spend them, so they deposited them back to European and American banks, and the deposits were subject to interest. What should I do? European and American banks only borrowed a lot from abroad. This is why we just reformed and opened up and Europeans were scrambling to lend us tens of billions of dollars!" 286 said with a smile.
Li Chen and others also remembered that period. Europe and the United States really welcomed the visits of Chinese delegations. For example, the governors of Hesse and Bavaria in Germany would lend China tens of billions of dollars regardless of whether the Chinese delegation had any projects. The French Vice Prime Minister even took the initiative to ask China to leave several projects to France with billions of dollars, and it would be fine if there was no problem for loans to France. Other countries such as Belgium and Switzerland were even more eager to lend us to seek cooperation with China.
During that time, the Chinese government delegation was really popular among countries around the world. Not only were the government welcomed it, but the people were extremely welcomed. Now I think China still had fewer loans at that time, except for 286, the other senior executives were still relatively conservative.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and 286 changed the topic and asked Lin Johnson: "How did you think of investing in a nuclear power plant?"
After nodding and sorting out his mood, Lin Johnson said seriously to the leaders present: "First of all, the central government has decided to continue to build the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant Project, and secondly, the land in Daya Bay also has the foundation for building a large industrial base! Since the two projects are so close, of course, they can organically combine them to produce better benefits, so I thought that my petrochemical base will use nuclear power as much as possible in the future, which will not only reduce coal consumption, but also provide sufficient and clean energy. My goal is to build an environmentally friendly petrochemical factory and protect the mountains and rivers of the country. This is my responsibility as an investor and operator. In the future, I don't want to be said that it has destroyed our homes and ruined our environment!"
Everyone smiled. 286 also kept nodding and said, "Well, the environmental and pollution issues are now being paid more and more attention by Western countries. But we China are developing countries. How to grasp the balance between economic development and governance of the environment needs to be treated with caution!"
Lin Johnson nodded and agreed very much. He continued: "my country's energy utilization has been dominated by coal for a long time. With the continuous increase in the demand for electricity from economic development, the impact of large-scale coal-fired power generation on the environment has become increasingly important. Moreover, because our country has a large population, it will definitely vigorously build residential buildings in the future to improve the utilization rate of land. In the future, large-scale centralized heating will be adopted in the north and the south will also use air conditioners to deliver cold and heat. Both aspects will greatly increase the domestic demand for coal!"
"The power industry and heating need to continuously increase my country's coal use. Judging from China's population and material needs, if our country develops in the future, our coal use will account for almost one-third or even one-half of the world's world's! I think China's future task of reducing pollutants to improve environmental quality is very difficult. Now it is urgent to formulate some severe measures to limit the pollution of the environment. Whoever destroys the environment will be dealt with. Whoever approves the project will be removed from his position! The issue of environmental pollution is a major event that concerns the future of the country and nation. China should not follow the old path of pollution first and then control, which is like Europe and the United States. We cannot afford to go because China has a large population and many people want to find a way out. Once the pollution reduction restrictions are lifted, it will be difficult to control it in the future. Will future generations scold us if the environment is damaged?!" Lin Johnson said more and more serious, which shocked the senior officials here.
Lin Johnson continued: "The country now advocates reform and opening up, and advocates looking forward. For the people, what they pursue is only wealth and well-off! What after a wealth and well-off society? Should the people live a happier, more dignified and decent life?"
"But I want to say that's not necessarily!" Lin Johnson said strongly, raising serious questions to some people.
"Environmental problems are a big deal that greatly affects the happiness, well-being and health of the people! Our Chinese economy will definitely develop and develop well because we have many people and great strength. But I want to say that you should not sacrifice the environment for the sake of developing the economy. Otherwise, you will find that although life has improved and become rich, many people around you get sick or even cancer, and your own body has also become in crisis!"
"We have cancer villages now, right? Although those employees who have worked in non-ferrous metal mines for a long time have earned a lot, they all have black lungs, which is pneumoconiosis! The people in resource-based cities in Northeast China do not see the sunshine or the blue sky all day long, so the sky above the entire city is basically covered by smoke and dust and smog. In the future, the sky of major cities across the country will be gray and cannot see the blue sky and the sun. Is this how our descendants live? Can they be happy? In this way, you will find that no matter how much money you earn, it will contribute to hospitals and drug dealers. There is no happiness or dignity in this life!"
"We should not grow old before we get rich. We should get sick before we get old, and we should die when we get sick. This state is not our goal, nor should it be an inevitable development for us!"
The powerful young words completely shocked the leaders of the central government. They didn't expect that this young man could say such a heavy word!
Those who are interested have even put a conservative hat on Lin Johnson. Some people unconsciously glanced at the leaders, and immediately became more and more serious when they saw that the leaders were sitting upright and sitting seriously.
Lin Qiangsheng stopped and changed his tone in a relaxed tone and said with a smile: "The purpose of my words is to show that human health has a great impact on the improvement of the happiness index! Nuclear power is a mature and efficient, clean and safe energy. The radiation impact of nuclear power plants on the surrounding residents is far lower than that of natural radiation, and can be said to be minimal. People live, swim, grazing cattle and sheep, and fishing around nuclear power plants abroad. Some nuclear power plants are located near big cities, and some are located in tourist areas. Nuclear power plants are safe, economical, and clean energy, which is more conducive to protecting the environment than thermal power plants. Nuclear power does not emit sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and smoke particles, and does not produce pollutants containing tiny dust like haze! Developing nuclear power instead of coal-fired power can greatly reduce the emission of pollutants to improve the environment and achieve coordinated development of energy and the environment.
Moreover, China is a responsible major country. It will not be criticized by other countries if it reduces pollutants to damage the atmosphere. It will also praise us for playing a role in protecting the environment!”
Lin Qiang-sheng said firmly: "No matter what, I have determined the development path of Dongxing Group's nuclear power. If I don't do it in China, I will move elsewhere, maybe it's Africa or Latin America or Southeast Asia. I won't stop anyway!" (To be continued.)
ps:ps: I have a cold, the haze is too severe, my throat is uncomfortable, I'll wipe it!
