Training the Heavens

Chapter 235 Fast Lane

"Write your name on this yard. I owe you a lot over the years. Just consider this as a token of my appreciation!" The more Xu Lingjun didn't want anything, the more Xu Jingyou wanted to give him. He even gave him the ancestral home without hesitation.

Song Jiaoying was quite surprised. When Xu Jingyou was in the United States, he was very strict with those children and had never been so generous. Unexpectedly, his attitude changed completely when he saw Xu Lingjun.

But it's normal to think about it. Those second-generation rich kids are more trouble than good, and they spend all day thinking about how to empty the family. Shouldn't Xu Jingyou be on guard? Xu Lingjun is different. He has both ability and character.

If we give the ancestral home to those guys, they might squander it all in a few years. If we give it to Xu Lingjun, it can remain in the hands of the Xu family forever. Xu Jingyou is old now, isn't this the only thing he wants?

It seems that I have to maintain a good relationship with Xu Lingjun in the future, so that even if Xu Jingyou leaves in the future, I will still have a guarantee. Thinking of this, Song Jiaoying likes Xu Lingjun more and more.

Because she knew very well that as long as she showed a certain level of ability, Xu Lingjun would allow her to stay in the Xu family's business, while those second-generation rich people acted on impulse and might be fired one day for a small matter.

After staying in Nanjing for a few days, Xu Jingyou said to Xu Lingjun before leaving, "I will return to the United States from Shanghai tomorrow and try to coordinate the investment in the mainland as soon as possible. I will send you a telegram when it is ready. Then you can bring Qingqing, Yueyue, and Xiuzhi to join us, and we will get this done together."

"When the time comes, just send me a telegram and I will come at the agreed time." Xu Lingjun agreed readily.

"Chairman, I won't go back with you this time! You have to make preparations in the United States, Lingjun has to go back to Qilian Mountain to focus on his career, and someone has to keep an eye on Shandong. Let me do these things." Song Jiaoying interrupted when he saw the opportunity.

She thought clearly that Xu Jingyou would shift the focus of his career from the United States to the mainland in the future. If she could make outstanding contributions in this process, she would win the trust of both father and son, and her position within the company would become more stable.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If you encounter any problems, just send a telegram to Lingjun." Xu Jingyou agreed after thinking about it for a while.

Xu Jingyou was a little reluctant to part with Song Jiaoying. She had always taken good care of him over the years. Without her, Xu Jingyou's daily life would definitely be inconvenient. But now the most important thing for the Xu family was to start the mainland business as soon as possible. Since Song Jiaoying had volunteered, it would be better not to discourage her enthusiasm.

Moreover, the mainland does need a capable and trustworthy subordinate to take charge. Song Jiaoying is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. We cannot let her give up such an opportunity just because of her personal preferences.

The next day, the group split into three groups. Xu Jingyou returned to the United States, Song Jiaoying went to Shandong, and Xu Lingjun took his family back to the ranch at the foot of the Qilian Mountains. This time, the treatment they received was very different.

Given Mr. Rong's status, the news that Xu Lingjun was appreciated by him has now spread back. As soon as he got off the plane, he was warmly received by local leaders. During the conversation, Xu Lingjun mentioned his needs for the ranch, and the leaders readily agreed and gave him the green light all the way.

Not only that, Xu Lingjun's personal level was also quickly raised, and he was urgently elected as a provincial people's congress representative. When the term of office changes in the future, it is a foregone conclusion that he will be elected as a representative of the National People's Congress.

His power within the ranch had also greatly increased. Director Dong and his colleagues were now essentially mascots, enjoying ample benefits and a seat at meetings. However, Xu Lingjun still had the final say on specific matters, and they were just there to applaud. Anyone who felt dissatisfied and wanted to express their opinions would likely be transferred to another unit the next day. If they spoke too harshly, early retirement was possible.

With this support, Xu Lingjun could finally carry out drastic reforms. The division of labor in the ranch was further clarified, and several major projects were carried out simultaneously. The products produced were quickly transported to Shaanxi, Henan and even Jiangsu along the Longhai-Lanxin Line by rail.

Railway transport capacity is extremely valuable nowadays. If the ranch was not a collective enterprise and Xu Lingjun had not won the favor of Mr. Rong, it would have been almost impossible to get so many carriages.

After a while, Xu Jingyou returned to the mainland again. This time, he brought with him advanced equipment and foreign exchange funds shipped from the United States. Mr. Rong was very happy and hosted a banquet for them again.

This is a good time. The country is currently short of foreign exchange. Foreign exchange at the million-dollar level can attract Mr. Rong. If it were a few years later, let alone a million, I am afraid that even hundreds of millions of dollars might not be enough to get this treatment.

"We are now providing timely assistance." Xu Lingjun pointed upwards and said to Xu Jingyou, "They still remember the past. Although you came much later than Mr. Huo and his friends, you can be considered one of the first foreign investors to come to the mainland. This friendship alone can keep you rich for many years."

"It can be seen that they really need foreign exchange, but my assets are far from comparable to Mr. Huo's. I hope they won't be disappointed in the future." Xu Jingyou was a little worried.

"It doesn't really matter. The U.S. financial market is very developed, and I have done some research on the U.S. stock market. It's not difficult to increase the value of assets," Xu Lingjun said confidently.

China-US relations are still in the honeymoon period. It is not a big problem to make some money in the US financial market and then invest in China. However, the money in the financial market is virtual, and doing real business in China is the fundamental thing.

"I have already distributed the property when I returned this time, and they have all signed. The company's money will be yours in the future. It's okay if you want to try the financial market, but the financial market is relatively risky, so it's better to invest less at the beginning. I'll give you $500,000 to try first, and then add more if the situation is good." Xu Jingyou was a little hesitant, but finally agreed.

The factory in Shandong was put into production very quickly, and the products produced were exactly what the ranch urgently needed. With these products, the quality of the ranch's feed was greatly improved.

Xu Jingyou also brought some high-quality foreign breeds to the ranch, which improved the output and quality of products such as eggs, beef and mutton, and gave the ranch the opportunity to export and earn foreign exchange.

The development of the entire ranch immediately entered the fast lane. In just three or two years, the ranch's sales, output value, and total profits increased several times.

Seeing the rapid development of the ranch, some leaders couldn't help but come up with new ideas.
