Shen Huai wants to persuade Sun Ya Lin to "leave" the family with him, and naturally there will be words.

  "Europe's development has reached a bottleneck, and the transfer of industrial capital to emerging countries is an inevitable trend. China will inevitably rise. Once China completes its industrialization, one billion people will be industrialized, what a magnificent force it will be! You won't be unmoved by this prospect, will you?" Shen Huai said, "However, Donghua is the place where the Sun family's roots are, take a look at how Longqing Group has not made any substantial investments in Donghua until this year. Don't you think that Longqing Group is too stubborn and too conservative? Even if Longqing Group looks like a giant now, it's still possible for it to be eliminated by time."

  Shen Hua's views on industrial development trends, Sun Ya Lin does not fully agree with, and even thinks he is overly optimistic about the country's economic development, but also has to admit that as an emerging country, domestically it is indeed one of the best places for industrial capital transfer.

  "They are all saying that they are too conservative, and they also see the domestic policies being inconsistent, fearing to return home for settlement," Sun Ya-lin said. "The capital injection into Industry Bank was also hesitated for a long time, and finally reduced the amount of capital injection by half... Not many people are willing to come back to work domestically..."

  Shen Huai didn't drag things out with Sun Ya Lin, he wasn't qualified to interfere in the affairs of Yeshi Bank yet, and dragging it out would be useless. Instead, he directly got to the point and asked:

  "Your idea is consistent with mine, that's great. You know how much attention the country is currently paying to introducing foreign qualifications. No matter how much private money you have, it will be injected into the domestic industry in the form of industrial capital and directly invested in Meixi Town. It's hard to reach the level of Changqing Group, but at least I can guarantee that you won't have to look at the Sun family's face to survive..."

  "In the half year since I returned to China, I've seen that there are many problems here, but overall, I still agree with your point of view," Sun Yalin said over the phone. "However, I'm not you, and how much private savings can I accumulate?"

  Shen Huai thought about what Sun Ya Lin said and it was also partially true.

  From his maternal grandmother's side, the population is not prosperous, and the inheritance right has not been diluted. In comparison, Sun Yalin has only one brother or sister at home, but her father's generation has five brothers and sisters. If his inheritance right is not deprived, he will be able to inherit the rights of the family foundation in the future, which should be five times that of Sun Yalin.

  However, Sun Yalin's father is a high-level manager of the Evergreen Group, with a high salary, stock options and dividends. After graduating, Sun Yalin worked in an enterprise related to the Evergreen Group for three or four years, also belonging to the high-income class, and her domestic salary was also much higher than what ordinary people can imagine, not completely relying on the family foundation for survival.

  Shen Hua believes Sun Ya Lin's life is not as "difficult" as she says.

  "Ten million or eighty million, I don't think it's too little; one hundred million or two hundred million, I also don't think it's too much," Shen Hua said, "No matter how many, just give me a number..."

  Donghua is far behind Pingjiang City on the south bank of Xiangjiang River in terms of attracting investment, and in 1993, Donghua actually utilized less than $20 million in foreign capital.

  Per capita, Meixi Town only needs to introduce $100,000 in foreign investment per year to meet the basic indicators for attracting investment; so Shen Hua said that 180,000 is not a small amount.

  Shen Hua saw Sun Ya Lin driving a luxury car worth tens of millions in the country, and there were still several million dollars in private house money hidden somewhere. Even if Sun Ya Lin didn't have any private house money, the sons of the Sun family, who had a close relationship with Sun Ya Lin, could pool their own private house money together to complete the task of attracting investment for Meicun Town in the next few years ahead of schedule.

  "I brought in a billion dollars in capital, and this is just a small broken town of Meixi. Are you not afraid of being too arrogant?" Sun Yalin said disdainfully to Shen Huai's words, "However, you didn't say it clearly, and you still want to probe my bottom line. You really look down on me..."

  "Is it inconvenient to talk on the phone? Have you returned to the hotel?" Shen Huan knew that in order to persuade Sun Ya Lin and get her to put aside her guard and cooperate with him, he had to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

  "No," Sun Yalin bluntly revealed the truth, saying, "I just saw your little lover crying in her dad's car."

  Shen Huai thought that Sun Ya Lin was coming over to throw something at her face, but she thought better of it. Although she liked women, her face was indeed delicate and nice to look at, and damaging it would be a waste.

  Sun Yalin soon returned, rubbing her hands and said in an exaggerated tone: "No matter how cold it is outside, after walking back and forth a few times, my hands are frozen stiff..."

  Shen Huai also knew that it was some unpleasant things from the past, so Sun Ya Lin didn't want to make him too comfortable while being forced to cooperate with him. She didn't bother to pay attention to her stirring up trouble in Zhu Yi's matter and directly said:

  "Domestically, we have been exploring a suitable economic system for the country's conditions, and it may take another ten years or even longer for the economic system to be truly perfected. Indeed, there are some problems in the domestic economy and industry, to name a few, I thought my work at Meixi Steel Factory was not bad, and I could also make some contributions to its development, but apparently, someone above wanted me not to interfere with the management of Meixi Steel Factory anymore, just one transfer order would be enough to isolate me from Meixi Steel Factory..."

  "It seems that Tan Qiping's change in attitude has had a great impact on you!" Sun Yalin looked at Shen Huai with a mixture of surprise and schadenfreude.

  "No," Shen Hua shook his head and said, "In the domestic officialdom, it's about a person's connections. When it comes to connections, there are those that lead upwards, those that pave the way below, and those that entangle horizontally. In short, they're all intertwined, making one's eyes dizzy. We're used to focusing on the upward connections. Of course, upward connections need attention, but if we only focus on above, it will only make our scope smaller..."

  Sun Ya Lin rarely heard Shen Huai speak so grandly and expansively, and she also restrained her frivolous attitude to listen to him continue.

  "Now, the situation I'm facing is clear to you: the Sun family doesn't like me, the Song family doesn't love me, and Tan Qiping's attitude towards me has also changed. You might say this is what I deserve, but I don't accept it," Shen Huai said, not caring how Sun Ya Lin would think, just sharing some of his thoughts with her, "Perhaps for a long time, I will lose the support from above, but that doesn't matter. Even so, my situation is better than most officials in the country, and I believe that our true foundation lies beneath our feet, not on top of our heads." Shen Huai said, "I was the one who actively requested to go down to the countryside, and before arriving at Mei Xi Town, I had some thoughts about future development..."

  "Is Meixi Steel Factory a foothold you've chosen long ago?" Sun Yalin asked.

  "Right," Shen Huai said, "but as I told you before, I have to be on guard against others suddenly pulling this foothold out from under my feet..."

  "What do you plan to do? If the domestic bureaucratic system is compared to an ecosystem and food chain, once you lose the strong support of Song's family and Tan Qiping, you will be at the bottom of the food chain. Are you afraid it will be difficult for you to take control?" Sun Yalin sat down in front of Shen Hua's bed and seriously asked him back.

  "It's not as sinister as you think," Shen Hua said with a smile. "The State Council has officially promulgated the Company Law, and my next task is to reform Meixi Steel Factory into a joint-stock company and introduce a certain proportion of foreign capital during the process. Since Deng Xiaoping's Southern Tour in 1992, reform and opening-up have once again become the core theme of domestic economy, politics, and culture. The central government attaches great importance to attracting investment. Local officials may be greedy, but they dare not recklessly put their hands into joint ventures or foreign-funded enterprises. I'm sure you're also aware that there are many irregularities at the local level, but those who truly control the upper echelons of politics domestically still pay close attention to following the rules..."

  "By introducing foreign capital, suppress the local forces' greed for Meixi Steel Plant, and ensure that the management can be stable and continuous. As long as Zhao Dong, Qian Wen Hui, Wang Kang Sheng, Xu Xi Ting, Xu Wen Dao, Pan Cheng and others can actually control the operation of the steel plant, even if you give a transfer order to transfer them away, your influence will not be easily dispersed," Sun Ya Lin said with a smack of her lips, "I have to say, your calculation is still somewhat profound, I'm afraid it's enough to make those little sons of George pee in their beds."

  Sun Yalin felt that the room was a bit hot, she called Shen Hua's words to arouse interest, stretched her waist, took off her seemingly valuable coat and threw it on Shen Hua's bed.

  She was wearing a black sweater inside, the sweater reached her hips, and she was wearing black tights inside, wrapping her legs in an exceptionally slender way. The brown long boots with cold color tone shone brightly on her knees. Due to her athletic ability, Sun Ya Lin's waist wasn't particularly slim, but it looked healthy and elastic, forming a tempting curve with her plump buttocks. Her full breasts were even more prominent when she stretched her back.

  Sun Yalin, with her mixed heritage, had long, dark brown hair that cascaded down, slightly wavy, like gentle ripples. Her bright red lips and snow-white face complemented each other, making her look like a fiery flame. Her brown eyes seemed even more profound, and her delicate features were both dynamic and beautiful.

  Even knowing that Sun Ya Lin liked women, Shen Huan couldn't help but be tempted by her enchanting appearance and couldn't resist taking a second glance.

  "Take another look and I'll gouge out your eyes!" Sun Yalin gave Shen Hua a sideways glance, which had some flirtatious implications. She sat down at the head of Shen Hua's hospital bed with one leg tucked under her, asking, "Are you thinking too much?"

  "If you think Meixi Steel is worth investing in, then so be it. Introducing foreign capital is like adding an extra safety lock; if the foreign capital is your cousin's private money, then for me, it's equivalent to having another safety lock," Shen Huai said, "I believe that in the future, if someone bullies your cousin, you will definitely not stand idly by."

  "This is hard to say, maybe I'll help others bully you together..." Sun Ya Lin said this and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  "How about it? Want to work with me?" Shen Hua asked.

  Shen Hua's consideration is not unfounded.

  After Xiong Wenbin was transferred out of the Municipal Steel Plant, not only did he himself suffer oppression, but his loyal followers in the Municipal Steel Plant also suffered a cruel fate of being scattered and excluded. With the lesson of Xiong Wenbin's experience before him, Shen Huai should have been prepared for this move, otherwise he would be too immature.
