Rebirth in 1960, My Industrial Age

Chapter 402 The Zhou Family's Two Speculators
"Look at this, their purpose is quite clear."

After putting down the tea, Zhou Xianyang took out an invitation from his person and handed it to Zhou Fengnian, indicating that he should read it first before discussing it further.

Zhou Fengnian took it and saw that it was an invitation letter, inviting Zhou Xianyang and his family to attend the Communications Industry Association meeting in Amer.

"What kind of association is this? I don't think I've ever heard of it. I only remember an Independent Telephone Union Committee."

"Don't even mention you, I don't know either. It was given to me by the vice president of Motorola, but I said I needed to discuss it, and I've been busy lately, so I didn't reply to him."

Zhou Xianyang pursed his lips and then continued, "He also wants me to bring my family, which is you, along. How can I do that? This kid clearly has no good intentions."

"Dad, should we still cooperate with them? Should we cancel the joint venture factory?"

"Why isn't it being held? It took so much effort to build the bridge, and now it's just being canceled. Isn't that a pity?"

Zhou Fengnian smiled and continued, "I know their dirty tricks best. Just don't go. As for the rest, just make money."

If you want to go, take your sister with you to broaden her horizons, but remember to bring bodyguards.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xianyang immediately said unhappily, "What if they detain me?"

Zhou Fengnian glanced at his narcissistic son and said, "What's there to be stingy about? Our country isn't without Amis people. Who would do something like losing two thousand of their own to kill two hundred of the enemy?"

A while ago, Amei was going to present awards to him and Director Qian, and she hoped that the two of them could come to Amei's place.

Now they're doing this again; they're really going to great lengths to deceive them.

Zhou Fengnian knew without even thinking what would happen after he got there.

It's nothing more than imprisoning him on charges of endangering Afghan national security, then secretly threatening him to work for Afghan, and if that doesn't work, he'll probably be forced to commit suicide.

Zhou Fengnian had been there once before, but he went with his superiors back then, and seven or eight years ago, Zhou Fengnian wasn't as famous as he is now.

He was very famous in the computer and mechanical fields at the time, which prevented Amei from trying to keep him despite the consequences; now it's different. Their relationship with Amei has deteriorated rapidly, and if he goes, he might not come back.

Even Hong Kong is not a place Zhou Fengnian wants to go to; he will probably just travel around mainland China in the future.

"Dad, you're underestimating your son by saying that. I'm also a very influential entrepreneur."

"Yes, it's a pity that entrepreneurs in our country have very little say. You should develop slowly."

Zhou Fengnian said with a smile, "If you want to go, take your sister with you to broaden her horizons, and bring a few more guards; as long as nothing happens to me, they won't have any ill intentions towards you, so don't worry."

"That really hurts my pride."

Zhou Xianyang muttered to himself that he had been trying very hard to catch up, but it seemed that the gap between him and his father was still very large.

He estimates he can earn over 200 million next year, and maybe 300 or 400 million the year after, but even so, he is still far behind his father.

"By the way, Dad, what did you send Brother Xianzhe and Brother Xianrui to do?"

Zhou Xianyang suddenly remembered this matter. A few days ago, he wanted to ask his two cousins ​​for a favor, but when he went to find out that they had gone on a long trip.

Moreover, he left for a long time and didn't even take care of his wife who was about to give birth.

Zhou Fengnian said, "They went to the Russians to look for opportunities. Since they're acting in their personal capacity, they shouldn't be in any danger."

Zhou Xianyang was taken aback and quickly asked, "Dad, did you instigate this?"

"Nonsense! Would I lie to my nephew? They don't know where they found out, but they insisted on asking me, and they wouldn't listen to me."
Finally, they decided to try their luck, so they probably went to see Colonel Guo again, and then left with their men.

"Smuggling!?" Zhou Xianyang was taken aback and quickly asked, "Why would they abandon their perfectly good business to engage in smuggling?"

"Who knows what they were thinking? These two kids couldn't be persuaded. After I talked to your uncle, he actually said he understood. Who knows how they convinced your uncle?"

However, they weren't smuggling on their own; they had someone supporting them. If it were an individual smuggling operation, I would absolutely object.

Zhou Fengnian paused for a couple of seconds before continuing, "There shouldn't be any danger, and a smuggling trip could probably make a lot of money. They're probably trying to expand the market for the food factory."

Zhou Xianyang said dismissively, "How much can you earn with that? And it's not even safe. You might as well do something else."

"How much they can earn depends on their orders. If they have enough support, they could charter a whole train. That trip would be worth at least tens of millions."

Zhou Fengnian said casually, and he knew more than that from Colonel Guo. It seemed that his two nephews had a mission to try to buy some advanced weapons from the Russians.

At this point, the Russians were on the verge of collapse; in every respect, they were on the verge of collapse.

They started planning to receive technical personnel from the Russians at the beginning of the year, and now that it's almost the end of the year, Zhou Fengnian alone knows that there are 76 more people.

They were considered outstanding researchers in their respective fields, and after taking over, they temporarily settled in Northeast China and Beijing.

Moreover, this operation is ongoing, not only in receiving technical researchers, but also in the buying and selling of aircraft carriers, and it is very promising.

Besides aircraft carriers, the Russians had many other advanced weapons worth buying and selling, such as fighter jets, tanks, and howitzers. Zhou Xianzhe and Zhou Xianrui acted as supported "middlemen".

It just so happens that they own a food factory, and light industry is quite popular there.

They've been gone for about a month. I heard they've taken over more than a month's worth of their food factory's output, along with many other light industrial products.

Zhou Xianyang was somewhat tempted after hearing this, mainly because he had never been to Russia. The farthest he had ever been to was when he accompanied his family to visit his father.

The father and son chatted in the study for quite a while. Zhou Xianyang even considered going to see Lao Maozi, but in the end he gave up because he had too many things to do and didn't have much time.

Zhou Xianyang is not a peaceful person at heart. He is now doing business honestly, but he didn't discover the existence of border trade sooner.

If Zhou Xianyang had known about border trade before Feiyang Electric Factory, he probably would have been the first to go and become a "middleman".

Making money is secondary for this kid; what's important is keeping him interested.

After they finished talking, Zhou Fengnian went to supervise his daughter's homework. He was determined to teach Zhou Linlin how to do this test paper today, or his wife would get angry with him.

As the year draws to a close, many projects have been successfully implemented.

After taking office in Dongshan City, Bai Yuhao immediately facilitated the implementation of two major investment projects.

A comprehensive electrical appliance factory, with an investment of 20 million, will have at least 2,400 jobs.

The other is a joint venture mobile phone factory. Including equipment and technology, the investment is nearly 60 million yuan, which will create more than 3,000 jobs.

These two projects allowed Bai Yuhao to establish himself in the local area, and he's so busy that he doesn't plan to come back for the Chinese New Year this year.

Bai Kang even called Zhou Fengnian, jokingly saying that Xianyang had made sure his son couldn't come back this year.

One of the important projects that Zhou Fengnian was in charge of has also yielded results.

The Robotics Institute has improved the drone by using new battery energy to create a powerful and highly stealthy drone that is only seventy centimeters in size.

It can be used in both swarm warfare and reconnaissance.
