Chapter 136 Conquering the Stars

"I'm wondering, don't these four major grain traders understand us? Don't they investigate? They can just go to the grain-producing areas like I did and take a look! Why are they so stubborn?" Lin Xingzhi asked in confusion.

"Arrogant and ignorant." Lin Jingzhe's eyes were sharp, emitting a cold temperament, as cold and ruthless as the winter moon. "The four major grain merchants are fully prepared! Ammunition is sufficient."

"Yes! Yes! The four major grain traders have begun their offensive. They have swept up all the wheat produced in countries where wheat is the staple food. All the wheat on the market in countries like Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and India has been bought out. Amid rumors and a wheat shortage in the market, the price of wheat in those countries has begun to soar, tripling in three years." He paused and continued, "The goal of the four major grain traders is simple: to create a food crisis in our country. But international prices have risen so much. Ours has only increased by 0.7 times, and the scenario they expected has not appeared. They feel that the wheat they bought is not enough, so they brought a large amount of funds and want to buy out all the wheat in our market." He coughed lightly twice and said, "Why do I feel so stupid!"

"How smart do you think they are? Without the US military's backing, who would be afraid of them?" Lin Jingzhe curled his lips in disdain. "If we have a food crisis, the world will be over." He said with a cold and merciless gaze, "They will be scared to death."

"Go out and rob?" Lin Xingzhi said excitedly.

"My neighbor stores grain, and I store guns. My neighbor is my granary!" Lin Jingzhe smiled and said, "We are not pitiful little people who just accept everything."

"To be honest, the four major grain merchants were very well prepared. They specifically pooled international capital and came well prepared," Lin Xingzhi said admiringly. "Could they surrender so quickly?"

"Hasn't the US been making a fuss about the subprime mortgage crisis?" Lin Jingzhe raised an eyebrow slightly, "Haven't you watched the news?"

"I saw it, but I just thought that the Americans could solve it!" Lin Xingzhi blinked his ink-black eyes when he heard it.

"You overestimate the Americans! Economic crises are a specialty of capitalism. A minor crisis every five years, a major one every ten." Lin Jingzhe sneered, "Their method of resolving economic crises is to shift contradictions."

"Okay! Then I'll just wait and see the show." Lin Xingzhi said gloatingly.

"By the way, has Mom told you Vivi's college entrance examination results?" Lin Jingzhe's eyes, as clear as the bright moon, looked at the inky black night sky, where not even the stars could be seen.

Even in the imperial capital, the pollution is still quite serious.

"I told you, that girl is amazing! She's actually the top scorer in our province," Lin Xingzhi said with a beaming smile. "Actually, with all the competitions Weiwei has participated in over the years, she should have no problem getting admitted. But she insisted on taking the college entrance exam."

"Why? You're so confident!" Lin Jingzhe asked doubtfully, "Aren't you afraid of accidents?"

"Being the top scorer, the rewards, big and small, add up to one million!" Lin Xingzhi stroked his forehead and said, "Our family is not short of money!"

"The meaning of earning money on your own is different." Lin Jingzhe's black eyes flickered when he heard this, and he asked, "Are you going to the imperial capital to study?" Then he said, "Then you can take care of her."

"I came to the capital to study, but it's not Peking University or Tsinghua University, but Beihang University!" Lin Xingzhi said with his dark eyes looking at the lush leaves under the street lights.

"What?" Lin Jingzhe screamed in shock. How could this be possible?

"You think it's a pity too, don't you?" Lin Xingzhi said, listening to the surprised voice coming from the other end of the phone. "The school has tried to persuade Weiwei, but she's determined not to change. She wants to serve the country and answer the country's call to conquer the stars and the sea."

"Cough cough..." Lin Jingzhe was so frightened that he kept coughing.

"Are you okay? Why are you reacting so strongly?" Lin Xingzhi asked worriedly.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lin Jingzhe said quickly after hearing this.

"Now that we've said that, who would dare to persuade me?" Lin Xingzhi said with a smile in his eyes, "They're all good schools, very good."

"Is this because of my influence?" Lin Jingzhe said embarrassedly, "I must be too confident!"

"I really can't think too much about what you said." Lin Xingzhi thought carefully and said, "Dad should be very happy to hear that, serving the country."

"Let's stop chatting. It's getting late." Lin Jingzhe said after looking at the sky.

"Go to bed early. I'm hanging up." Lin Xingzhi raised his wrist and looked at his watch. "Good night, sweet dreams!"

"Good night!" Lin Jingzhe said with a smile, and hung up the phone after hearing the beep.

Lin Jingzhe took the phone back to the dormitory. Qi Na had already finished taking a shower. "I'm done with the call."

"It's over." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with clear eyes and said with a smile, "By the way, my sister has applied to Beihang University."

"Ah... not going to Peking University or Tsinghua University?" Zina said in surprise, then said with regret, "Such a high score is such a shame!"

"They are all good schools." Lin Jingzhe looked at her with his jade-like eyes and said, "I want to conquer the stars."

"Then Beihang University is indeed good, it's a professional school!" Zina said with a smile.

"Go to bed, I'm going to take a shower." Lin Jingzhe took a change of clothes and went into the bathroom.

Lin Jingzhe took a shower, turned off the lights and went to bed.

"You can sleep!" Zina said, looking at the bulging figure on the bed in the dark.

"I fell asleep while giving myself a massage." Lin Jingzhe said with his eyes closed. He then added leisurely, "Don't think too much. It's already come to this point. There's no point in thinking too much. Once you hear the starting gun, just swim."

Hearing this, Zina's lips curled up and she smiled slightly, "Are you always so optimistic?"

"Well, what else? Wouldn't it be more harmful if you were to have wild thoughts and become restless?" Lin Jingzhe counseled her, "We are already better than many people."

"Go to sleep! I won't disturb you." Zina said as she lay down.

Lin Jingzhe pressed the acupuncture points and forced herself to sleep. How could she not be nervous? She was not living in the sky.

Just don't show it on your face and digest it yourself.

As the Olympics approach, the intensity of training has decreased. Don't get injured at the last minute, otherwise it will not be worth it.

Zina climbed out of the swimming pool, put on a bath towel, sat on a chair, took two sips of mineral water, and completed the 4,000-meter swimming task this afternoon.

This is the norm in their training.

"Can we attend the opening ceremony?" Zina asked with her round eyes as Lin Jingzhe came out of the swimming pool.

"If you want to participate, you can! But we have to wait for the swimming competition." Lin Jingzhe said as he sat next to her.

"I need to apply to the higher-ups for this!" Lian Ximei muttered softly, "I don't plan to participate. It's too much trouble."
