Lin Yan was speechless after learning the reason for Huahong and Jinzai's insistence.
"Mom, dad, what's the matter with you? Our family doesn't need to worry about such trivial matters. You have saved so much money and you have already spent it, so why bother."
Hua Hong: "We don't want to plan more for you. You are so focused on business that you don't know how to save more money for yourself. When we get old, you are a big-hearted person and what will you do when you have no money to spend."
"Am I still short of money?" Lin Yan couldn't believe it. "Auntie, why do you miss me so much? I'm busy with business, but I don't know the importance of money."
"You are still being stubborn. The money you have now comes from your salary. It seems like a lot, but you are so lavish that you won't have enough to spend."
Lin Yan was speechless for a moment.
Hua Hong said proudly: "What I said is right, just leave it alone and leave this matter to me."
"No. Mom, we are talking about two different things. Even if I am short of money, I can't get rich by accepting gift money."
Lin Yan said seriously: "Mom, dad, I can understand your feelings, but I really can't celebrate. Once you open your mouth, the people behind you will follow your example and it will lead to the whole trend. I can't do this."
Huahong and Jinzi finally failed to convince their daughter and made a compromise.
That night, Lin Yan kept repeating Hua Hong's words in her mind. She really had no other source of income except salary.
No, you can't think of it that way. Her contribution to the Sun League is unparalleled. How can it be measured in money?
Since ancient times, supreme power and money will make people get lost. She must control herself and not sink.
It's just right now, you have money and power, as long as you stick to your heart and move towards the set goals.
To the far south, with the sea breeze blowing on their faces, Shui Sheng and Lan Yue stood on the deck, looking at the blue sky in the distance.
Shuisheng squinted his eyes comfortably and said softly: "You have lived up to expectations and brought back the rubber tree. The people from the Materials Institute have been returning by boat for half a month. Lin Yan should be about to receive this surprise. These years, you have been traveling here and there. Run, why didn’t you go back with me?”
Lan Yue stood upright, her body's sharpness somewhat restrained, and she walked along the coastline, going through many hardships in order to get more rubber latex.
"Things here are more important. The alliance wants to build a base here, Haiyan is imminent, and the rubber industry also needs to be built here. These are all major events related to the future of the alliance."
Shui Sheng also knew the importance of these two things. When he came with Lan Yue, he was entrusted with important tasks. The establishment of Nanhai Port City had been decided when they set off, and he and Lan Yue were the ones in charge.
The importance of the two external arbitrators sent by the Arbitration Court to attend the arbitration is self-evident.
In addition to the people who initially followed them south, five hundred people and various supplies were subsequently dispatched.
In just one month, these people's residences have been built and basic living facilities are complete.
For the preparation of sea salt, Bai Chenhou personally came over to do various experiments and planning. Everything was under intense preparation.
Shuisheng smiled and said: "There are still too few people. Now I deeply understand Lin Yan's desire for talents. It will take a long time to build the Nanhai Port City. The thousand people recruited from Huacheng need to be well trained. That’s all.”
When I first stayed in Huacheng, I wanted to hire people nearby. The Flower City was in dire straits, and there was a shortage of people. However, after entering the alliance for the first time, Huayu gritted his teeth and sent out thousands of people.
Of course, these people don't work for nothing. In addition to taking care of food and housing, they can also earn a sum of money.
The alliance attaches great importance to Nanhai Port City, and elites from all walks of life are sent here one after another. It is bound to build a large seaport city within five years.
"Insufficient people have always been the alliance's shortcoming." Lan Yue paused, "So, I plan to screen the five hundred miles around. Although the natives are few, they are still a considerable force. Bring them Gather together, and there will be people from Nanhai Port City.”
Shui Sheng gave a thumbs up, "You are still great, dare to think and do it. You go find someone and leave the rest to me."
Bai Chen appeared at this moment, "You two really know how to choose a place. The scenery here is the most beautiful."
Shuisheng smiled and said, "You are such a busy man, why do you have time to come here?"
"I'll see you if I have anything to do." Bai Chen didn't even say greetings, and said straight to the point: "The salt field test was successful. To expand the scale, I made a planning plan and asked you two to review it. Once it is confirmed that there are no problems, we can start construction."
She is very anxious. Once the salt fields are built and sea salt preparation is on track, she can devote all her energy to the development of natural rubber.
In Bai Chen's eyes, although sea salt is important, it is far less important than rubber research. This will be a material revolution with far-reaching consequences.
Every change in materials brings huge changes. From the initial burning of pottery, paper making, and weaving to the later application of porcelain, glass, and metal materials, it spanned twenty years and brought about earth-shaking changes in people's lives.
The Innovation Research Institute’s electric energy breakthroughs can already foresee drastic changes in the future.
Shui Sheng and Lan Yue were also aware of Bai Chen's urgency. Although they did not personally participate in the research conducted by the Scientific Research Institute, they paid close attention to the progress.
It can be said that the technology of the scientific research institute will play a decisive role in how far the alliance can go in the future.
The three of them read it carefully, discussed and changed it for two days, and finally signed it. Construction of the alliance's first sea salt factory was officially started.
In Ancheng, Xu Hui stared at the map in front of him and remained silent for a long time.
Hua Min stood beside him without disturbing him. She knew that the people who stayed in Ancheng had done a lot in the past few years. But when he saw the map drawn by Xu Hui himself, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He is worthy of being the proud man of the Alliance. In just a few years, he has traveled all over Tianduan Mountain and successfully drawn a detailed map.
The territory of each force, the directions of mountains, rivers, and rivers are all marked in detail.
Lan Xing was also present, and he looked more calm. Several years of training alone made his eyes resolute and his whole body more aura.
Hua Min couldn't help but praise: "You have done a lot in the past few years, and you can see it just from this map. However, the situation here in Tianduan Mountain is very complicated. Densely populated by large and small forces, the population must be Tens of millions, it’s a tough nut to crack.”
Blue Star: "Yes, there are six big cities in this area with a population of more than one million. Ancheng is just the most inconspicuous one among them. It is located in a remote place and lags behind in all aspects. If the alliance wants to encroach, it must take its time and cannot rush."
Xu Hui shook his head, as arrogant as ever: "It's not that difficult. They look like a giant, but they work on their own and guard against each other, just like a piece of loose sand."
Hua Min was surprised: "Do you know how many people there are in the alliance?"
"Of course we know that the alliance's population is growing rapidly, reaching 200,000 this year."
Seeing Xu Hui's disapproval, Hua Min opened her mouth and said: "Two hundred thousand versus tens of millions, don't you think it's just a dream?"
He really dared to think about it. In Hua Min's opinion, being able to dominate Tiandu Mountain within twenty years was already the fastest.
