Chapter 993: Fleeing the Imperialists

Gao Zhendong took a look at the flying tractor with a strong retro style behind him, sat on the GAZ-69, and headed straight for the Lou family.

As soon as I came back, I didn't rush to report my work. Anyway, everything was done and there was nothing to report. I could just make a phone call tomorrow. For Gao Zhendong, the most urgent thing was to go back and see his wife and children.

I have a wife, children and a warm bed, which makes me feel very happy.

As soon as Gao Zhendong got off the car, an old lady who had worked for the Lou family for many years hurriedly opened the gate and ran into the Lou family.

"Uncle-in-law is back, uncle-in-law is back."

Her words alarmed a large group of people in the Lou family. Even Yan Zhi and Bu Yu, who were still babbling, were carried up by Lou Xiao'e and He Wu, one each.

It seems that He Wu came to Beijing this time with the express purpose of finalizing the matter here, and at the same time, he also wanted to celebrate the New Year and make things completely certain.

That's right, Gao Zhendong really used these two names as nicknames for his two children. It didn't matter if they sounded like nicknames or not, as long as the family could call them by them. Lou Xiao'e didn't bother to care and just let him do what he wanted.

"Zhendong, you've worked hard. Come on, come inside and sit down."

Mother Lou hurriedly greeted Gao Zhendong. She loved this son-in-law very much.

Lou Xiao'e just smiled and handed her sister Yanzhi to Gao Zhendong's arms.

After all, she is his wife and knows what he wants most. Gao Zhendong rubbed his face against Changying's face several times.

Seeing his sister being treated like this, Changhe couldn't stand it anymore. He cried out "Ah...ah..." anxiously, while trying his best to pour himself onto Gao Zhendong from his future aunt-in-law.

Gao Zhendong took him with a smile, rubbed him hard a few times, and walked into the house with the others, carrying the two children.

Sitting on the sofa, Gao Zhendong completely relaxed, imitating Uncle Ge from his previous life and doing a very standard "Beijing pose", without any image at all, letting the two children roll around him.

Because of Gao Zhendong, my father-in-law and his family specially brought forward the dinner. Last time, he was urgently transferred away without even having a meal. Judging from his appearance, he must not have eaten as well as at home these days, so he needs to make up for it.

"Zhendong, you must be exhausted this week." Father Lou poured Gao Zhendong some wine and asked with a smile.

Gao Zhendong nodded: "The first three days were quite busy, but the last few days were okay."

In the next few days, apart from participating in some physical labor in three shifts, he really had nothing to do. The other comrades in the expert group were busy with their own professional matters, but he finished what he needed to do in three days.

He had to fight hard to get this little bit of physical labor, otherwise the comrades from the Water Conservancy Department and the Flood Control Committee would have wanted to keep him in the tent and not let him go out.

Gao Zhendong gave a brief account of the incident. There was nothing to keep secret about this matter, but he did not mention details such as the blasting of the gate.

The Lou family also saw reports of the dangerous situation on TV and in newspapers, and only then did they realize that Gao Zhendong was busy with this matter.

Others might be fine, but Lou Shouxing's eyes flickered when he heard this. He longed for this kind of experience and wished he could have it in his own place.

Young men, who doesn't have a desire for passionate love?

Lou Xiao'e felt a little distressed, but more proud. This is my man!
"So you went to the scene to deal with the matter in person, saving the people from dire straits and rescuing the people. It's truly extraordinary!" Father Lou is also a man with a sense of family and country. Otherwise, how could he, who has no ability to predict the future, have started to fund our army so early?

He is proud of his son-in-law's achievements from the bottom of his heart. It makes him proud to have such a son-in-law!
He Wu pulled Lou Shouxing and raised his glass: "Zhendong, He Wu admires you!"

She and Lou Shouxing had come to this point, so there was no need to call each other "Sir" or "Brother" anymore.

He Wu is a heroic person, and he admires Gao Zhendong's trip from the bottom of his heart.

Lou Shouxing quickly picked up the wine glass: "Yes, yes, Zhendong, we toast to you."

Mother Lou looked at this scene and couldn't stop smiling.

After dinner, Gao Zhendong, his father-in-law, and his brother-in-law went to the study again. They thought that the matter with He Wu had been clarified, so they wanted to formally inform Gao Zhendong.

"Congratulations, big brother. You need to work harder. Otherwise, you will grow too big and won't be able to play with your younger brothers and sisters." Gao Zhendong made a joke.

The three of them were talking in the study, and Lou Shouxing brought up an idea that had been in his mind.

"Zhendong, what do you think about our Zhenxing Group donating some money to the disaster-stricken areas?"

Although the disaster was not serious, a few places along the way from the breach to the reservoir dam were still affected.

Lou Shouxing wanted to do something, but was afraid that he would not be able to handle it properly, so he asked Gao Zhendong for advice. Gao Zhendong nodded without hesitation, and even went a step further: "Well, yes, I think we can set up a fund to be responsible for this matter."

If it were Lou's father and Gao Zhendong, it would not be convenient for them to come forward to deal with this matter, but it would be convenient for Lou Shouxing.

As soon as these words were spoken, joy quickly showed on the faces of my father-in-law and brother-in-law.

"Yes, this is something we should do. If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. If you are rich, you should help the world and practice good conduct. In this regard, you should learn more from Zhendong. He sees farther than you do." The father-in-law agreed with Gao Zhendong's proposal.

"Yes, yes, yes, why didn't I think of this? Set up a special fund to make this a long-term thing. But considering our relationship, is this a suitable thing? Are there any inconveniences?"

Gao Zhendong smiled and shook his head: "We may laugh it off if someone is bad to us, but we will never forget who is good to us." The meaning of this "we" is obviously different from the previous "we".

"And now there is a good candidate to come forward. If she takes charge of this matter, it will not let Dad be too conspicuous in this matter, and it will also let those who are interested know who the real contributor is." Gao Zhendong added.

Lou Shouxing rolled his eyes and suddenly realized: "Are you talking about Xiaowu?"

Gao Zhendong nodded. Although He Wu definitely liked sailing, Gao Zhendong could see that He Wu might like this thing more.

Father Lou also nodded in agreement, saying that this matter could be done.

"Yes, let Xiaowu do it. Zhendong's arrangement is perfect."

"Okay, I'll discuss it with her later." The more he thought about it, the more wonderful it seemed. No matter how big the He family's fortune was, it would still be hard and tiring for He Wu to be a sailor. It would be better for him to be a director of a charity fund. Moreover, He Wu himself would definitely not object to this matter, but would be very interested in it.

It's all thanks to my brother-in-law! His suggestion took all parties into account, and everyone jumped in happily. He had long wanted He Wu to do something more stable and not so tiring, but his wife was not the type to stay in the boudoir.

"Speaking of funds, I think of one thing - cash flow!" While Lou Shouxing kept this matter in mind, he thought of another thing.

"Cash flow? Not enough?" In fact, Mr. Lou didn't know much about the details of Zhenxing Electric's business. For example, Gao Zhendong didn't raise this question.

"No, Dad. Our cash flow is very high now. In addition to R&D investment, there are also reserved operating funds and risk reserves, as well as the purchase and investment of potential Western companies. We still have a lot left. What we just did won't even have much impact on our cash flow."

There is a special thing about Zhenxing Group: its actual R&D expenditure is not high, because the most difficult core part all comes from Gao Zhendong, and the average cost of the project is eight steamed buns.

With a large number of exclusive high-tech products and backed by the mainland's strong productivity, Zhenxing Group's product premium, production capacity, inventory turnover, and capital turnover speed are the envy of other similar companies, and its profit margins and profits are surprisingly high.

A year or two ago, he and Gao Zhendong had discussed the issue of cash flow. At that time, they decided to invest in and purchase potential Western technology companies. However, there were not many such companies after all. Some were boring, and some might not even let you invest. In short, money could not be spent all.

Father Lou had no objection to this. He knew domestic affairs well, but not so well about foreign affairs. There was nothing wrong with his brain, but he had not been in that environment.

But they all know that Gao Zhendong, although he seems to have nothing to do with economics in this regard, actually always has many effective strategies to come up with.

Gao Zhendong thought about it and laughed: "Then go and do something."

After saying that, he whispered to explain to his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

Gao Zhendong’s idea was very simple, to trade in gold.

These days, the Citicoin is truly more valuable than gold. According to the Bretton Woods system, each Citicoin can be exchanged for gold at a fixed price, and the two are directly linked.

In fact, Citigroup itself couldn't stand it anymore, its gold reserves gradually became depleted, and in 1971, the Bretton Woods system collapsed.

But it’s 63 now, it’s still a long way off, and we can still fiddle with it for a while.

"...We will find a way to convert the money we earn into Citibank dollars in the Western monetary system, and then convert it into gold..."

"You are trying to fleece the Citigroup guys!" Lou Shouxing laughed.

Father Lou's eyes lit up. As a traditional Chinese, I don't recognize anything else but gold!
"Yes, anyway, the Citibank bosses are big and powerful, so it doesn't matter if they take some of the gold. Part of the gold exchanged will be retained or used as a risk reserve for operations, and part will be used as trading currency for domestic transactions. Those people in Danggui Province transported all the gold away that year, and we are in great need of it now..."

There are so many things to trade with the country, and gold is a good currency.

Gao Zhendong didn't need to say anything else, his father-in-law's eyes lit up like a light bulb: "Yes, Shouxing, this thing can be done! Do it seriously!"

There were many things he could think of in his mind, and he said that this kind of thing required the advice of a good son-in-law, and it turned out to be true.
