During the conversation between Li Yi, Zhou Rui and others, Jiang Shiying remained silent.
After all, it’s inappropriate no matter which way you turn, so it’s better not to speak at all.
After sending Zhou Rui and others away, he couldn't sit still. Instead of going to work, he took Li Yi directly to the study.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Shiying said, "Xiao Yi, aren't you a little reckless in what you did?"
"Dad, what are you worried about?" Li Yi asked with a smile.
"You kid is still laughing, do you really not know the seriousness or what? You still have to pay compensation for 200 million U.S. dollars, so what if you really lose money?" Jiang Shiying said solemnly.
"If you lose, pay it out of your own pocket to the country!"
"This... you don't want a penny when you make money, but you have to pay for the hole out of your own pocket when you lose money. What's the point?" Jiang Shiying frowned.
"There are so many pictures!"
Then Li Yi continued: "Dad, they say that only a country has a family. I, Li Yi, am also a part of this country. Now the country needs me, I can't refuse, let alone retreat!"
"Secondly, there are not many opportunities to let the superiors owe us a favor. This thing cannot be bought with money. To be honest, there is this possibility now, and we can't miss it!"
Jiang Shiying looked at Li Yi with some confusion, and then said: "I don't know whether I should say that your kid has high ideological consciousness or is stupid and bold. This is a US$200 million. Once you lose, you will be in Hong Kong Island this time." Half of the wealth I earned will be gone!"
"Haha, don't worry. Without diamonds, who would dare to take on the porcelain job!"
Li Yi is still very confident about this. With his understanding of the economic development trends of this era, as long as he is not particularly greedy, it will be difficult to compensate!
"Really sure?"
"Really!"
"By the way, is that Huang Lixing really reliable? Although you have a good personal relationship with him, he is a gangster after all. What if..."
"Nothing is wrong, they say most of the righteous are dog-slaughters, and not all gangsters are bastards!"
Then Li Yi said even more shockingly: "What's more, Lao Huang has long wanted to wash his hands in a golden basin, but I stopped him from retiring!"
"Why, others are always advising people to be kind, why are you doing the opposite?"
"Because I need the smuggling fleet he has!" Li Yi said truthfully.
"You...you want to engage in smuggling...no, you kid should look down on petty profits. Why do you want a smuggling team?" Jiang Shiying asked in a deep voice.
Li Yi did not answer his question, but asked: "Dad, do you know the current situation of our domestic enterprises?"
"It's not good to know a little bit!"
"It's not very good, but what I want to say is that this kind of bad situation will continue until the vast majority of companies can no longer sustain it and then close down one by one!"
"This... this should not happen. The country does not allow companies to close down on a large scale. The consequences would be too terrible. It would shake the country's foundation!" Jiang Shiying said.
"Dad, once we open up, we have to accept market regulation, but the market will not accept companies that are dawdling!"
Jiang Shiying was silent. After working in Guangdong Province for so many years, his mind was much more open-minded than those officials in the interior.
If you think about it carefully, you will understand that the situation mentioned by your son-in-law may really happen.
"What does this have to do with the smuggling team you left behind?"
Li Yi immediately said: "There are only a few factors that determine the life or death of a factory, excellent products and a huge market, and the competitiveness of the products is the absolute core."
"Excellent products require advanced technology and equipment to achieve. We now have a large enough market, but the products of various companies lack competitiveness. Therefore, we urgently need a large amount of advanced technology and equipment to improve the quality of products and thereby improve the quality of our products." The competitiveness of enterprises!”
"All of the things you mentioned can be purchased through normal channels?" Jiang Shiying said.
"What if I can't buy it?"
"Can't buy it?"
"Yes, the relationship between the Western countries headed by Thief Eagle and us has eased on the surface and seems to have entered the honeymoon period. However, they still will not sell us high-end technology and advanced equipment. This requires us to find another way. !" Li Yi said lightly.
Western countries have always had a blockade against China. They first established an Export Control Coordination Committee to impose embargoes and trade restrictions specifically on red countries. Its purpose was to restrict member states from exporting strategic materials and high technologies to red countries.
Included in the embargoed list are tens of thousands of products in three categories, including military weapons and equipment, cutting-edge technology products and rare materials.
What is even more infuriating is that they have also issued a special trade ban list for us, which includes more than 500 items than the international ban items applicable to the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries.
Although Batumi's embargo policy and cargo manifests are often affected by changes in the international situation, although they have been relaxed now, there are still many restrictions, and it will return to the previous state within a few years.
Jiang Shiying immediately understood Li Yi's true intention, and immediately said: "Are you planning to use this fleet to develop some advanced technology and equipment?"
"Yes, I have now taken over the commission from my second brother. I want to try my best to revitalize the companies that are about to go bankrupt in the capital. Naturally, I need a lot of advanced technology and equipment. And these cannot all rely on the country's formal channels. Occasionally, they can also resort to sideways. Okay!" Li Yi said.
"If you do this, you have to report it to the superiors, otherwise this will be a source of leverage!" Jiang Shiying said.
"Of course, so I'm not telling you this!" Li Yi said with a smile.
"Are you waiting for me here?" Jiang Shiying said with a smile.
"I am humble, but it would be more appropriate for you to report it to the superiors. If the superiors feel that it is not necessary, then I will ask Lao Huang to disband the fleet!" Li Yi said.
"Okay, before you get a clear answer, don't act rashly!" Jiang Shiying said.
"good!"
"You really don't have to follow me to transport money?" Jiang Shiying asked again.
"No, I'll just call Lao Huang later!" Li Yi said.
"If you're fine, you'd better go with me. After all, this is 200 million U.S. dollars..."
"Who said I'm okay?"
"What's the matter with you?"
"go home!"
Then Li Yi said again: "If they hadn't come here, I would have gone back to the capital long ago!"
"When do you plan to go back?"
"Tomorrow, of course, if we can buy tickets!" Li Yi said.
"The air ticket is no problem. If you really want to go back tomorrow, I will ask the secretary to book the air ticket for you!" Jiang Shiying said.
"Order it!"
"OK!"
"Dad, don't forget to order one for the one downstairs too!"
"good!"
After saying that, Jiang Shiying picked up the phone on his desk...
While Jiang Shiying was on the phone, Li Yi left the study.
After arriving downstairs, he immediately called Zhang Ziqiang, the bodyguard who had taken up his post, and went straight to the Huang Mansion where Huang Lixing was...
