Rich, Rhine Metal; poor, Rhine Steel. 81

Chapter 81: Want to Borrow Some Money?!

In a Santana car.

Liu Jun, the driver, pointed at two people walking past, introducing them to his passenger:

“Those two, one is the marketing department director of Rheinstahl, the other is the workshop director of the tractor factory.”

“When you see Lin Yu later, if he asks what you’re here for, just say you’re here to borrow money to pay the salaries of those dilapidated factories.”

“He definitely won’t agree, then, you can smoothly proceed with your next statement.”

Turning his head, Liu Jun suddenly realized that the person beside him was a little distracted, his eyes darting around, looking like a thief.

So he shouted loudly: “Did you understand?”

“Understood!”

“Why do you look like you’re stealing something? Can you straighten your back?”

Hearing this, the person in the passenger seat quickly sat up straight, but after a while, his body subconsciously leaned forward again, his eyes scanning the pedestrians on the roadside like a radar.

After a while, he explained:

“In 1988, I was still in a garment factory, and I got into a fight with people from Factory 567, and we lost. I’m afraid of running into acquaintances.”

Liu Jun was speechless. Only after he parked the car in front of the small red brick building and pulled the handbrake did he say: “Awesome!”

In the office, Lin Yu held an Agricultural Bank of China’s transaction statement in both hands, chuckling strangely.

Jialimu’s fifteen million US dollars, Li Ping had made appointments for several days before securing a spot to exchange this money into RMB at an exchange rate of 1:8.255.

Although the goods hadn’t been delivered yet, the money was already in his pocket.

According to Li Ping’s estimate, the profit margin on this deal should be between 32% and 35%. In other words, Rheinstahl could make at least 39 million RMB.

This was an astronomical sum; three years of no business, then three years of eating well.

Very comfortable!

After chuckling for a long time, he reluctantly put the statement back into his drawer.

With a bang, the drawer closed.

But the next second, his left hand automatically opened the drawer, and the moment he touched the statement, Lin Yu forced himself to pull his hand back.

“A true man stands tall and straight, what is this small amount of money? How can one’s mind be disturbed by mere money!”

“Lin Yu, Lin Yu, you are a man who is going to do great things, you didn’t have any emotional attachment to signing so many deals in your past life, how can you be so unfazed by just thirty million this time?”

“Haha! Cash!”

Once again closing the drawer, Lin Yu turned and started planning his next move on his notebook.

The weapons aspect has initially gotten on track, it only needs to be upgraded step by step, and the financial pressure here is temporarily not large.

For vehicles, Feng Lun and Kang Shikai are investigating market demand, and this project conversion will take about a year.

Funding is also not urgent.

The rest are batteries, mobile phones, drones, and a universal charger.

Batteries and mobile phones complement each other, as long as mobile phones can be sold, the R&D cost of batteries will be spread out, and the return cycle is much shorter than that of vehicles.

Priority should still be given to vehicles.

Thinking that now, any mobile phone can be sold on the market, and the price is not low, Lin Yu’s heart ached.

Not taking this windfall would be a disservice to himself.

He absolutely must give these high-end mobile phone manufacturers a little shock with some makeshift phones!

Drones…

Let the R&D department handle it; it can reduce financial pressure.

After this is done, I’ll go to Shenzhen.

With a few simple strokes, he finalized his plans for the next six months, Lin Yu stretched and prepared to go out for a walk.

However, before he could go out, there was a knock on the door.

A few seconds later, there was another rhythmic knocking sound.

“Coming!” Lin Yu responded, getting up and walking to the door.

With a creak, he opened the old door, and the person outside appeared before him.

Liu Jun from the Power Supply Bureau.

And another unfamiliar person, but this person was about the same age as Liu Jun, and judging from his clothes, he should also be a cadre.

When the three met, Liu Jun naturally waved his hand, while the person behind him seemed rather embarrassed.

Several seconds after Liu Jun finished greeting, only when Liu Jun pushed him did he give Lin Yu an awkward smile.

The atmosphere was a little cold.

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled slightly, stepped aside, and asked: “Uncle Liu, you came here in person, is it to collect electricity bills? We shouldn’t owe any electricity bills, right?”

After pushing the man behind him into the door, Liu Jun took over the conversation: “Of course not!”

“You owed electricity bills before, and I didn’t even urge you much. Now that you don’t owe any, how could I urge you?”

“It’s him, Director Kong Da from the Investment Promotion Bureau, he has something to ask of you.”

Following Liu Jun’s words, Lin Yu slowly turned to look at the director from the Investment Promotion Bureau.

The three words “Investment Promotion Bureau” were unfamiliar to Lin Yu, neither in his past life nor in this life had he dealt with anyone from this department.

He had more dealings with the Science and Technology Bureau, because he needed to plan the industrial chain.

After thinking for a while, unable to figure out this gentleman’s purpose, he turned and went to the water dispenser, making a cup of hot tea for the two of them.

“Here, try it, authentic mountain spring water brewed Guizhou Qingming Mao Jian tea, very fragrant!”

Holding the hot tea, smelling the fragrance of the tea, Liu Jun sighed: “You really know how to treat people, when I came to collect money before, Lao Qian wouldn’t even give a cup of hot water, let alone tea.”

“Owing money is owing money, but at least basic courtesy should be shown.”

While saying these words, Liu Jun brought the cup to his lips, took a sip, and then closed his eyes and swayed his head.

Lin Yu saw all his movements.

After a moment, Lin Yu also realized that this was a way of expressing his attitude—that he was just a guide, and the main person was the one beside him.

Having figured out the situation, Lin Yu turned around, looking curiously at Director Kong Da from the Investment Promotion Bureau.

At this moment, Director Kong Da looked helpless, seeking help from Liu Jun, but he found that his colleague was still calmly closing his eyes, savoring the tea.

Seeing this, Kong Hui sighed softly, holding his teacup and looking at Lin Yu, said:

“Actually, I came here today to ask Lin, the general manager, to help us out, considering that we are all one family.”

“Help…help?” Lin Yu was surprised.

The Investment Promotion Bureau asking for his help?

What do they want?

To help find a few military enterprises to settle in? After they settle in, what about sales? What about production capacity?

You’re taking my job!

No, I must refuse. Making up his mind, Lin Yu immediately said solemnly: “Director Kong, please tell me, as long as it’s something I can help with, I will do my best.”

“But…if it’s beyond my capabilities, I can only say I’m helpless.”

After hesitating for a long time, Kong Hui smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, softly stating his intentions: “That…I want to borrow some money!”

“How much? Fifty or sixty thousand, we can squeeze it out.”

At this moment, it was Kong Hui’s turn to be stunned.

He glanced at Liu Jun, wanting to ask if the script was wrong, but Liu Jun was leisurely leaning back in his chair, completely ignoring the two of them.

Having no choice, Kong Hui sighed softly and stated his true intentions.

“We are all one family, so we won’t beat around the bush.”

“Actually, I came here because I heard from someone at the Agricultural Bank that Factory Manager Lin is earning foreign exchange.”

“So we want to ask Factory Manager Lin to help us, to help the city’s factories make money together, increase tax revenue and employment.”

The next second, Lin Yu extended his hand in front of him: “Don’t, you want to borrow money, right? Will one million be enough?”

“Even if it breaks our bones, we will borrow the money for you!”
