After Lin Hexia returned, she told her father Zhao Yi's thoughts. Due to the establishment of diplomatic relations with the United States, reform and opening up, etc., the blockade of Western countries against our country is not as strict as before. Many small and medium-sized equipment can still be imported. Domestic manufacturers have a strong demand for equipment upgrading, which has led to a surge in equipment imports and has also led to Foreign exchange reserves are tight.
This is still the beginning. In the future, as domestic and international economic activities become closer, import demand will increase and foreign exchange reserves will become even tighter.
So after hearing Lin Hexia's words, Lin Qihuai looked for information about Prince Gong's Mansion and found that this former Qing Dynasty mansion covering an area of more than 60,000 square meters was valued at more than 30 million yuan in 1962. It now has several units. It was occupied by people and turned into a large courtyard.
Then I found Zhao Yi's information and found that he was not only a mathematical genius, but also a god of wealth. Especially the scandalous operations in Germany mentioned in the information made his wealth even greater than that of the country.
After reading this information, Lin Qihuai felt a little jealous. He compiled Zhao Yi's request and relevant information into a report, attached his own opinions, and submitted it to the central office.
So the Central Committee held intensive meetings about Zhao Yi's purchase of the house. Some conservatives believed that there was no precedent for selling cultural relics with historical value to private individuals, while the reformists believed that whether they were national or private, as long as they were in the country, they were considered state property. , and the mansion cannot be moved.
Both sides go back and forth, and no one can convince the other. So the opinions of both parties were compiled into a report and submitted to the old man for his decision. In fact, the important thing is that in the past, the leaders had expressed the hope that Prince Gong's Mansion would be sorted out and renovated and opened to the public as a tourist attraction. They were a little afraid to make independent decisions.
Although Zhao Yi met with Lin Hexia every week, apart from asking a few questions at the beginning, the answer he got was that he was waiting for news. Zhao Yi didn't necessarily want to buy it, so he wasn't in a hurry, so he just let Lin Hexia fiddle with it. Look around to see if there is a lower-quality mansion.
Because Zhao Yi has been unable to find a place to live, he has been unable to install a telephone. Zhao Yiyi was a little tired of having to go to the school communications room to make calls every day.
A month has passed in a flash. So far, Zhao Yi is mainly familiar with the operation of experimental instruments and doing some hands-on experiments in the laboratory.
Just when Zhao Yi thought there was no hope of buying Prince Gong's Mansion, Lin Hexia suddenly came to him and said that the old man wanted to talk to him and that someone would be sent to pick him up at one o'clock in the afternoon, probably related to the purchase of Prince Gong's Mansion.
Zhao Yi did not dare to neglect, and hurried back. After lunch, he put on the Chinese tunic suit Wang Huilan prepared for him, as well as the leather shoes he brought back from abroad. He washed his hair again, blew it with a hair dryer, and massaged it. Silk.
Standing in front of the mirror, I looked at myself. I was very satisfied with my appearance, and the new clothes made it even better.
After waiting in the dormitory for a while, he heard the sound of a horn coming from downstairs, and Zhao Yi quickly went downstairs. I saw a Hongqi car waiting, with a driver-looking person standing next to it.
The driver saw Zhao Yi coming and opened the back door. After Zhao Yi got in the car, the driver then got in and started driving.
There are relatively few cars on the road and there are no traffic jams. It takes about 20 minutes to get there. After a security check, the car drove in again.
When I got out of the car, I saw a middle-aged man who looked like a secretary already waiting. Zhao Yi quickly stepped forward and shook hands with the middle-aged man.
"Excuse me, I'm Zhao Yi."
"No trouble, just call me Secretary Wang."
"Thank you, Secretary Wang."
"Let's go in, the chief is waiting."
Then Zhao Yi followed Secretary Wang into the room and saw an old man sitting behind the desk immersed in writing something. When he saw Secretary Wang leading Zhao Yi in, he raised his head, looked at Zhao Yi and said, "You don't think so after reading the information. Only when you see him in person will you know he is a young man."
Zhao Yi was teased by the old man and didn't know how to talk, so he just smiled naively.
When the old man saw Zhao Yi's performance, he stopped teasing him and said, "Sit down and let's have a good chat. I'm very curious about you."
Zhao Yi sat down as he was told, and then Secretary Wang went to pour a cup of tea. Zhao Yi took the tea cup and said: "A few achievements are not worth mentioning."
"You're not young anymore. I've never seen you like this in all my life." The old man smiled kindly.
"This is not cultivated by the state."
"Little slippery man, the state cultivation is true, but your performance is really surprising." The old man pointed at Zhao Yi with a smile and said with a smile.
Before Zhao Yi could reply, the old man said again: "I invite you here this time because I want to hear your opinion."
"You know, I have some money abroad and don't know how to invest in the mainland. Plus I don't have a place to live in Kyoto, so I want to buy a house so I can have a place to stay." After Zhao Yi finished speaking, he looked at the old man look.
"This house is not cheap. I have heard about your situation. You will be under a lot of pressure to buy it." The old man looked at Zhao Yi and said.
"If I had just returned to China, I would definitely be under a lot of pressure, but during this time my investment company has made a little more money, so the pressure is not that great." Zhao Yi replied.
"If possible, I would like to hear how much assets you, the God of Wealth, have." The old man heard Zhao Yi say that he had made a little money, but his intuition told him that this kid might have made a lot of money again.
"There's nothing that shouldn't be said. I learned about it yesterday. It's about more than 6 billion US dollars." Zhao Yi looked at the old man and said.
The old man was also surprised when he heard Zhao Yidi's answer. Even though he overestimated Zhao Yi's achievements in finance, he never expected that it would be easier than picking up money. It was like a money printing machine. The country's foreign exchange reserves are not that large. It is not an exaggeration to say that the country is rich and can rival the country.
"I didn't expect this. It seems that I was overly worried." The old man said with a smile, and he was more kind.
"Prince Gong's Mansion can sell it to you, but you must agree to certain conditions." The old man added.
"What conditions?" Zhao Yi asked.
"First, the house is not allowed to be renovated or rebuilt on a large scale. Try to keep the original appearance as much as possible. Second, the related items inside cannot be disassembled and sold. Third, you need to bear the unfinished repair work." Then the old man made three requests.
When Zhao heard this, he had no objection. After all, similar operations were performed in later European castles.
"Okay, I can agree to all of this." Zhao Yi replied.
"Well, in addition to the above conditions, you also need to pay 100 million US dollars." The old man said.
"Okay, after signing the contract, the money will be returned to the account immediately." Zhao Yi agreed.
"That's fine. After you go out, you can find the relevant unit to sign a contract." The old man said.
"Thank you for the government's trust." Zhao Yi quickly thanked him.
"In addition to this matter this time, I also want to hear your plans. It is not a solution for you to transfer such a large amount of money abroad. Now the country is also undergoing transformation and needs more support." The old man said.
"You know, even if I come in with funds, I have nowhere to invest." Zhao Yi said helplessly.
"This is a problem. We are already conducting relevant research." The old man also knew the current situation in the country, but he didn't think Zhao Yi was evasive.
"Then what do you think about domestic reform and opening up?" the old man asked in a sophisticated tone.
Zhao glanced at the old man's expression and found nothing, and said helplessly: "I personally am very optimistic about this reform."
"Continue." The old man said to Zhao Yi.
"You must know the domestic situation better than me. I have a few humble opinions. One is to increase people's income and make people rich. The other is national security. Only when national security is guaranteed can we protect people's wealth."
The old man heard what Zhao Yi said and nodded to express his approval.
“To achieve the first point, we need to liberate productivity, fully mobilize people’s enthusiasm for labor, increase market circulation, improve agricultural science and technology, rationally distribute wealth, and eliminate the economic scissor gap.
To achieve the second point, it is necessary to improve the country's industrial strength and improve the technological content of industry. With the deepening of reform and opening up, we will definitely face a more complex international environment and business competition. Domestic enterprises need more autonomy to allow them to adapt quickly. In response to market changes, we should rationally arrange production tasks, establish and improve relevant systems, and give full play to the subjective initiative of enterprises. "Zhao Yi saw the old man nodding in approval and continued speaking boldly. (End of Chapter)
