Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"We should be thankful that Comrade Lin Kaifeng called us in time. If he had contacted us later, or if we had acted too hastily and agreed to Li Chaoren's conditions a few days ago, each of us would have become a sinner, casting an indelible shadow on the future development of this city."

Everyone had an embarrassed expression on their faces.

The words from Yuan Feipeng's mouth were like slaps in everyone's faces.

To be fair.

Including Yuan Feipeng, almost everyone was moved by Li Chaoren's words.

Intangible assets and tangible assets are indeed more valuable than the hundreds of millions they are worth now.

"I also benefited a lot from what Comrade Lin Kaifeng said to me."

"I think this sentence also serves as a warning to everyone."

After a while, Yuan Feipeng said slowly: "Science and technology are the important cornerstones of a country's development and revitalization. Real estate and commercial land must also be developed, but they must not become the main core."

"The Soviet Union and the United States became superpowers not by developing real estate, but by their technology, their core technology, and their overall competitiveness."

"The amount of land is limited. We sold all the land we had and obtained a huge amount of funds. Without solid light and heavy industries and some core technologies, we will be bankrupted sooner or later."

Unlike other cities, the main leaders of Pengcheng are outstanding talents selected from all over the country. Each of them has a spirit of adventure and a foresight that other regions do not have.

Yuan Feipeng repeated Lin Kaifeng's words to everyone word for word, which soon caused everyone to think deeply.

Why the Soviet Union and the United States can become superpowers is because they have a huge industrial system that can produce various industrial products that other countries cannot.

In addition to having advantages in the industrial field that other countries do not have, the two major powers also have countless unique skills in the military and aerospace fields.

One sent astronauts into space, and the other sent astronauts to the moon.

The development of aerospace has driven countless industries.

Materials, electronic computers, chips, semiconductors, and numerous projects and businesses all revolve around the aerospace field.

"Mayor Yuan is right. In this matter, each of us bears an unshirkable responsibility. It is absolutely unacceptable to blindly follow the propaganda we see and hear without conducting a comprehensive investigation."

"Subconsciously I thought that Li Chaoren was a patriotic entrepreneur, a good man who was willing to devote everything he had to the country's development... Alas!"

"Let's not talk about these things for now. As for the current situation, if we fall for it, I guarantee that Lin Kaifeng will definitely set up the headquarters of the Northern Aerospace Company in Shanghai."

"Don't mention Shencheng anymore. Shencheng is chasing us now. If we are not careful, they will catch up with us."

I don't know who said this.

Those who never believed in God, let alone miracles, all said in their hearts that they were thankful.

The first out-of-town city to cooperate with Lin Kaifeng was none other than Pengcheng.

In the early 1980s, Lin Kaifeng invested heavily in building two large industrial parks in Pengcheng.

So far, the number of production workers working in large industrial parks has reached nearly 100,000, and engineers, technical experts, and management talents from all over the world are coming in an endless stream.

The two industrial zones together are equivalent to a small Pengcheng.

Just when everyone thought that Lin Kaifeng would continue to increase investment in Pengcheng, something no one could have imagined happened.

Lin Kaifeng began to invest in Shanghai.

It took over the development and construction of the entire Shendong in one go.

The investment also exceeds 10 billion.

Unlike the big promises made by Li Chaoren, Lin Kaifeng really wants to invest 10 billion in Shanghai.

After learning the whole story, the previous mayor became so angry that he fell ill.

Not long after, Yuan Feipeng was transferred to Pengcheng to serve as the new mayor.

With Lin Kaifeng's 10 billion yuan investment, Shencheng, which was previously left behind by Pengcheng, will develop faster and faster as if it had installed a motor, and the economic gap between the two places will become smaller and smaller.

It goes without saying that if the aerospace company's headquarters is located in Shanghai.

In another year or two, Shanghai will surpass Shenzhen and become the country's largest city in economic development.

Instead, it will become the new economic leader.

Fortunately, none of these things will happen again.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Li Chaoren went to the hotel's gym to exercise.

At eight o'clock, Li Chaoren appeared in the restaurant for breakfast.

Soon, he will lead his team to the city hall to get the 200 hectares of land he has been dreaming of.

In Li Chaoren's eyes, 200 hectares of land are worth tons of gold bricks.

Lin Kaifeng never dreamed that while he was expanding his business in the international market, he would go to the domestic market and take advantage of the foundation laid by Lin Kaifeng's investment to grab a lot of land.

Acquiring a large amount of land in Pengcheng was only the first step for Li Chaoren to enclose the land and make a profit.

The next stop is Shanghai.

Lin Kaifeng also has a lot of investments in Shanghai, so the land prices in Shanghai will definitely rise.

"Mayor Yuan, after so many days, everyone should have come to a conclusion by now, right?"

Reappearing in the city hall meeting room, Li Chaoren was full of pride.

If nothing goes wrong, the contract can be signed today.

You will soon become the owner of these lands.

Yuan Feipeng said in a cold tone: "The city government has already reached a conclusion. I regret to inform you that we will not accept your offer."

The development of the matter did not go beyond Li Chaoren's expectations.

Li Chaoren smiled calmly and said, "Well, since I care about the country's development and am a patriotic businessman, I'll add another 100 million, 400 million."

Yuan Pengfei said expressionlessly: "Mr. Li may have misunderstood our meaning. Whether you add 100 million or buy it at the original price, we will not sell the land to you."

"Why!"

Li Chaoren's face suddenly changed.

This result was something he had never expected.

Yuan Feipeng said: "After collective discussion and research by the municipal government, it was decided to sell it to Lin Kaifeng's Northern Machinery Group."

When Li Chaoren heard the three words "Lin Kaifeng", his heart skipped a beat.

I kept cursing in my mind with all kinds of dirty words.

I was planning to rob Lin Kaifeng's house, how did this bastard know about it in advance?

Cursing in his heart, Li Chaoren rolled his eyes and said calmly, "Excuse me, Mayor Yuan, how much does Mr. Lin Kaifeng plan to pay for these lands?"

"A billion."

"Damn it!!!"

Li Chaoren's expression was extremely ugly.

Seeing Li Chaoren's shameless look, Yuan Feipeng said impatiently: "Mr. Li, I have a meeting to attend later. It's nothing else. I'll arrange for someone to take you away."

Li Chaoren said without giving up: "Mayor Yuan, since Mr. Lin Kaifeng is willing to buy these lands for 1 billion, I am willing to give the land to him. Can we discuss the purchase of other lands?"
