Hua Shao sat there quietly, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes staring deeply ahead, as if lost in deep thought. Meanwhile, Long Jiajun and the others beside him chose silence, giving Hua Shao enough time to gather his thoughts.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after about five or six minutes, Hua Shao suddenly slapped his thigh, as if he had finally made up his mind. He took a deep breath and slowly said: "Mr. Long, the reason why we were able to maintain a good relationship with various government agencies in the mainland at the beginning was mainly due to the special status of our Hong Kong enterprise! At that time, the mainland government especially hoped that we could return to our hometown to invest in development and construction. Because of this, they have always held us in high respect. It is no exaggeration to say that some officials even responded to our every request! But who would have thought that over time, some people here gradually developed some bad habits. The reason why this relationship has become worse step by step is ultimately due to two main reasons. First of all, it is naturally due to ourselves. Among us Some people have become increasingly arrogant, always thinking that their investment is just a gift to others. Without us investors, those mainlanders probably wouldn't even have a job! So, they treat them with even more impoliteness. Uh huh... Secondly, it's because some officials in the mainland are beginning to engage in corruption. Some officials are even openly asking us for money, and their greed is growing, and the amounts they ask for are getting higher and higher! "At this point, Hua Shao couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, a trace of worry on his face. He didn't know what effect his words would have on Mike and his other colleagues. He had offended Mike badly this time.

"Money? Don't we always give it to them? What else could they possibly be dissatisfied with? Shit!" Long Jiajun asked, eyes wide open, in amazement. Every time Mike reported these things to him, he approved without hesitation. He couldn't understand why he was still dissatisfied.

"They are not satisfied... because... you should ask Mike." Hua Shao looked at Long Jiajun with a pitiful look, as if he had something to hide.

Long Jiajun frowned and said impatiently, "Mr. Hua, it's impossible to live your life without offending anyone, and don't expect to please both sides. You must remember this. Also, if you encounter something that does not violate your conscience, then once you decide to do it, you must do it decisively and ruthlessly. Even if you keep silent now, Mike will definitely not appreciate your silence. On the contrary, he may think you are weak and can be bullied. Go out and think calmly. I'll give you ten minutes. When you come back, I hope to hear your true thoughts and situation."

Long Jiajun watched Hua Shao leave with a displeased look on his face. He always hated those who were indecisive and hesitant.

After Hua Shao left the room, Guo Zhenting approached Long Jiajun and said half-jokingly, "Jiajun, I think you're in trouble this time. There must be something seriously wrong with that Mike. How are you going to explain this to your mother?"

"It's hard to explain, so I won't explain it! I have always been generous and never stingy with money to those who regard the Long Group as their own property. My mother's relatives have benefited a lot from me. Especially that guy named Mike, who earns an annual salary of five million! However, with his little ability, I'm afraid he can hardly find a job with a monthly salary of only five thousand yuan. What's the point of keeping a person like this who doesn't know how to repay kindness? The most important thing is not that he doesn't know how to be grateful, but that what he is doing now is... Everything is trying to dismantle the foundation of our Long family and destroy our livelihood. Fortunately, we discovered it early. If we had allowed this kind of absurd behavior to continue, I really don’t know what kind of disaster it would have brought to our Long family! This afternoon, I started to check the accounts. Although my mother favors her relatives, such ungrateful relatives should be discarded. If Mike dares to spread rumors to my mother, I don’t mind sending him to Stanley. "Long Jiajun became more and more furious as he spoke, and he wished he could immediately send people to check the accounts thoroughly. Unfortunately, it was inconvenient for him to do so in front of Guo Zhenting and Huadi.

About ten minutes later, Hua Shao slowly entered. This time, he abandoned his usual evasiveness and decided to tell Long Jiajun everything he knew. It turned out that Mike had initially followed the rules, but as he took on more responsibility for mainland operations, he gradually discovered more and more loopholes that could be exploited for personal gain. For example, he began blatantly accepting kickbacks and even coercing suppliers into providing him with large sums of money and beautiful women. However, what Long Jiajun found even more intolerable was that whenever mainland officials demanded money, Mike not only refused to restrain himself, but instead took a cut of the profits, completely lacking any respect for the officials. Whenever he gave them money, he acted with a condescending, patronizing air, as if offering alms. After all, those officials, already of questionable character, could not possibly endure such humiliation. This was the reason why the Long Group's mainland operations were constantly scrutinized and harassed. However, all of this was suppressed by Mike. Although Long Jiajun often personally traveled to the mainland to conduct research, he often only noticed minor problems. He simply felt that the attitude of certain officials seemed a little off, but he never expected that the situation would develop to the point of triggering a major crisis.

"Mr. Hua, what do you think if I let you be in charge of the mainland business?" Liu Yi didn't want to listen to the gossips between the relatives of their Long family. He just wanted to resolve the things here as soon as possible. The tiredness he felt just now was getting stronger and stronger, and he wanted to find out the reason as soon as possible.

Hua Shao slowly turned his gaze towards Long Jiajun, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation and inquiry. Long Jiajun nodded slightly, indicating his approval. Hua Shao then took a deep breath and said solemnly:

"At present, the mainland's greatest shortage is undoubtedly high-tech products, sophisticated technologies, high-precision lathes, and other products and technologies that are prohibited from transportation and restricted in use by the COCOM agreement. However, in stark contrast, the mainland's most abundant resources are its abundant human resources and a large number of low-end products, such as various types of clothing. Therefore, if I were to be in charge of mainland-related business, my first priority would be to help the mainland introduce the most advanced clothing production lines, beverage manufacturing lines, flour processing lines, instant noodle production lines, and a series of other equipment and facilities covering the light industrial sector. Then, we would cooperate with the mainland to jointly invest in the construction of factories. After all, the mainland is not short of experienced and skilled workers, and more importantly, the salaries they can receive are truly shockingly low.

Furthermore, while these industrial projects are steadily progressing, I will do my utmost to help the mainland cleverly circumvent the constraints of the COCOM agreement and successfully import the various high-tech equipment it urgently needs. Ultimately, leveraging the unparalleled affordability of mainland products, we will be able to dump these products on a large scale in other countries, quickly seizing their low-end market share. This will not only effectively promote the vigorous development of the mainland economy, but also bring us substantial profits.

"Okay, what you said is very good, and the idea is also good. We can discuss the specific details later. Brother Jun, I think Hua Shao can be responsible for mainland business in the future." When he said this, Liu Yi's eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he fell headfirst on the sofa while speaking.
