Chapter 184 Not doing business properly
Lin Xingzhi carried breakfast into the factory and went to the laboratory.
"Brothers, have breakfast. After dinner, we'll continue working." Lin Xingzhi raised his voice and shouted to the spotless laboratory behind the glass.
"Hey! Here you come!" Shen Ze called out to the brothers who could put down their work and stayed to stick to their posts, and said, "I will take over for them after they finish eating."
Shen Ze stared at his friend with bloodshot eyes and said, "You didn't sleep all night."
"Oh! I was looking up information." Lin Xingzhi picked up the steamed bun and put it in his mouth.
"Be careful, it's hot." Shen Ze said with his dark eyes as he looked at him breathing heavily.
Lin Xingzhi took a while to swallow the dumplings before saying, "I thought it wasn't hot anymore."
"Did you gain anything?" Shen Ze looked straight at him with his bright dark eyes.
"Yes!" Lin Xingzhi nodded and said, "Let's talk about it after dinner."
"Okay!" Shen Ze buried his head and ate up the breakfast in front of him in the blink of an eye.
"Why are you so anxious?" Lin Xingzhi looked at him with amusement.
"Of course." Shen Ze looked up at him and said, "You're not motivated to make money, and there's something wrong with your attitude."
"I still have to check our foreign trade data." Lin Xingzhi looked at him with his dark eyes.
"You look at the U.S. stock market, how can you check our data?" Shen Ze looked at him puzzledly.
"Because we are the world's factory, and the Americans are our largest trading partner," Lin Xingzhi said, looking at him with his deep, dark eyes. "Because of globalization."
"I don't care whether the Americans live or die. I'm just worried that if the city gate catches fire, innocent people will be affected." Lin Xingzhi said worriedly with a frown.
"Will the Americans explode?" Shen Ze looked at him with his dark eyes.
"Hasn't the subprime mortgage crisis already happened? Look at how badly the stock and housing markets have plummeted." Lin Xingzhi blinked his dry eyes and looked at him. "Look at the stock market, it's so nervous. It's like a frightened bird at the slightest sign of trouble."
"From what you said, if he explodes, it will affect us!" Shen Ze said to him with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Who lets the Americans be number one in the world? If they cough, the whole world will catch a cold. I'm afraid it will affect us." Lin Xingzhi looked at him worriedly and said, "This is different from them using tricks to harm others."
"Now he is facing an internal economic crisis." Shen Ze said, looking at him with dark eyes.
"That's right! The economic crisis is here, and we have to tighten our belts first. Spending power is declining, and unemployment is even worse." Lin Xingzhi scratched his head irritably. "What if no one buys the goods we produce? It will affect our factory. If we have savings, it's fine. But if we don't, what will happen to those who live paycheck to paycheck?"
"Our economy is too deeply tied to that of the Americans. If there's any disturbance there, we'll be in trouble." Shen Ze said, looking at him with dark eyes.
"There are so many people in the world, we won't sell them to the Americans." Lin Xingzhi said angrily.
"Only developed countries have money, while developing countries are extremely poor. How can we buy your products?" Shen Ze said, looking at him with his dark eyes.
"We've been developing for so many years, why is it still..." Lin Xingzhi said with a pout, looking disappointed.
"I'm telling you, the four Asian tigers back then have now turned into insects, still lying there!" Shen Ze looked at him with a mixture of laughter and tears. "We finally developed, but the Americans swung their sickles and harvested us. We're back to the days before liberation."
"Alas..." Lin Xingzhi's face darkened and he sighed heavily.
"Don't think too much. Think about how we can gain benefits from it." Shen Ze said, looking at him with green eyes.
"How come you are obsessed with money?" Lin Xingzhi looked at him with amusement.
"You have a grudge against money!" Shen Ze looked at him angrily and said, "I really want to make money from the American Empire." He asked in return, "Don't you want to?"
"I'm keeping an eye on the US stock market!" Lin Xingzhi looked at him with his dark, bright eyes and said, "I have to go to Hong Kong. Our financial sector here is not fully open yet."
"Don't worry, go! I'll leave the house to you." Shen Ze said, looking at him with bright eyes.
"I'm a bit idle right now." Lin Xingzhi looked at him proudly and said.
"How can this be called not doing our job properly? Only when we have enough ammunition can we show our strengths." Shen Ze said with a scorching gaze, "Otherwise, we'll have to beg for sponsorship from everyone." He shuddered and said, "Who knows how much we'll be ripped off by them!" He continued, "To get the loan, I don't know how many times I'll have to drink myself to death and ruin my health. I'll have to do so many things that are out of my control."
"Haha..." Lin Xingzhi looked at him with great amusement and said, "How much money can I take away?"
"Half! The remaining money is our start-up capital." Shen Ze said after thinking seriously.
"I thought you were going to take me all with you!" Lin Xingzhi looked at him in surprise and said, "This is a fast way to make money. You can fly up like a somersault."
"No!" Shen Ze looked at him with a stern face and said, "You can't be too greedy."
"I knew it," Lin Xingzhi said, his thumb between his lips. "Financial risks are too great. We need to transform the toys in the lab into commodities as quickly as possible. Only then will there be a profit-making function. The lab is a money-eating monster."
"I know." Shen Ze looked at him with his deep, dark eyes and said, finishing the rest of his breakfast. "I'm going to the lab."
"Okay!" After finishing his breakfast, Lin Xingzhi cleaned up the garbage and threw it into the trash can. He washed his hands, sat down at the computer again, and started looking for data.
"Oh no! I forgot to tell them that the Olympic closing ceremony is tonight. My daughter is one of the flag bearers," Lin Xingzhi muttered. "I'll tell them to watch it later."
&*&
The closing ceremony was like a big party, with singing and dancing. The athletes were very happy and "felt particularly relaxed."
"There are a lot of shots of our daughter!" Lin Xingzhi said, staring at the TV screen.
"Of course. He won six gold medals at the Olympics alone. He really shined." Shen Ze stared at the screen with his obsidian eyes. "Even that American Feiyu who won eight gold medals can't compare to him."
"Of course. We have our own athletes, so there's no need to envy them." Lin Xingzhi said with a smile, "Ah! The Olympics are over, and all that feels like a dream."
"Haha..." Shen Ze chuckled and said, "It's time for Nannan to get back into the intense training again."
"Yeah! I'll try my best for the next Olympics," Lin Xingzhi said with some concern. "The pressure will be even greater." He smiled and added, "But Nannan doesn't seem to care about it. She said she's not afraid. She even joked: 'What's the big deal? If we lose in the next Olympics, we can still take back the gold medal we won now!' Her mentality is okay."
