Chapter 560 People from Guangling Arrive! (Third Update!)

Guangling.

At 7 p.m., dinner began, and the evening news broadcast also officially started.

"According to a recent report released by the American Immigration Service, the number of illegal immigrants entering America via third countries has surged since October of last year. This has overwhelmed the border state of Texas. Governor Greenkos signed a temporary bill and established checkpoints and stations at illegal immigration points to assess and transfer undocumented immigrants directly to Democratic states. Now let's take a look at the video report from our special correspondent!"

The scene shifts to a reporter in America, Texas.

The wind was so strong that it distorted the reporter's voice, forcing the reporter to speak even louder.
"Hello, host! Hello, viewers!"

"I am currently located about 20 kilometers southeast of Fort Bliss, a city in western Texas, America."

"The city across from me is Juarez, an important city in northern Mexico."

"The city to my northwest is Blissburg."

"People from these two cities have close ties, and Juarez City has an international airport, so many illegal immigrants choose to buy plane tickets to come here and then enter America from here."

Let's turn our attention back to the present!

"Ahead, where the crowds are gathering, are the checkpoints and stations that Texas signed a temporary bill yesterday and began deploying today."

"They will be here to check undocumented immigrants entering Texas."

"And they divert the traffic. Now let's go over and see how they divert the traffic!"

The camera followed the reporter forward, and soon they arrived at the so-called checkpoint.

The first step at the checkpoint is to inspect the luggage of these illegal immigrants.

Before conducting the inspection, they confiscated and tore up the people's passports and documents, and only after destroying these documents did they begin to check their luggage.

If they find knives or other random items, armed National Guard members will move in and throw the people back into Mexico.

There are also people at the Mexican border who check the passports of these people the moment they are thrown back.

Upon discovering that these people did not have Mexican passports, they threw them into the Rio Grande, which was used as a border.

In short, these people must not be allowed to enter Mexico.

The second step involves inquiring about and registering these individuals' professional skills; however, there is no assessment.

The third checkpoint was the actual test. Inside the makeshift tent were various cooking utensils and cleaning tools.

The assessment method is simple: you need to be proficient in using these kitchen utensils and cleaning tools to prove your identity.

Those who couldn't provide proof were put on a bus that was packed with people, and then the National Guard personnel registered them before the bus departed.

Those who could prove their innocence were set aside, and temporary identification was made on the spot, with the relevant information entered into the website.

From entering America's borders to being diverted, it only takes about half an hour. There are four lines, and each process is carried out in an orderly manner. Compared to America's efficiency, this level of efficiency is quite remarkable.

After observing the checkpoint for a while and filming it for a few seconds, the reporter, carrying a camera, went to the bus and spoke with the National Guard members guarding the bus door.

Members of the National Guard raised their hands, indicating that reporters could get into the vehicle.

The reporter boarded the car with a microphone and held it up to the first person:

"Where are you from, and why did you come to America?"

Upon seeing the microphone that suddenly appeared, the man was about to launch into a long speech, but upon closer inspection, he realized it wasn't America's TV station. He quickly composed himself and said with a determined expression:

“From a young age, I knew that America was a free and democratic country!”

“My country is full of unfreedom and democracy, so I came here to learn America’s freedom and democracy!”

After hearing his righteous words, the reporter pressed his advantage again: "Then why not go through the proper visa process?"

This time, there was no response.

After waiting a few seconds without receiving a response, the reporter held the microphone up to another person's face.

Before I could even ask a question, the person on the other end waved their hands repeatedly:

"Wadasi's English isn't very good!"

Upon receiving such a response, the reporter sighed, turned around, and got out of the car.

Once the camera captured the view of the checkpoint not far away, the reporter stood in front of the camera and continued enthusiastically:

"We just interviewed several immigrant friends, and they said that they have loved America's freedom and democracy since they were young, and they yearn for America's freedom and democracy. That's why they came to America to build America!"

Let us bless them!

The camera then switched back to the studio. Time was almost up, and the host announced a few more news items before starting to tidy up his notes. The closing music for the evening news broadcast also began at that moment.

After the evening news ended, Ji An took the remote control, changed the channel, and prepared to watch a TV series. Ji Guoping then snatched the remote control back into his hand, switched the screen to channel one, and prepared to watch Focus Interview.

Unable to watch TV dramas, Ji An could only focus his attention on Lin Yi. As long as he started a conversation and got his father to join in, he could take control of the TV remote.

After shoveling a couple of mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, he looked up and asked cautiously:

“Brother-in-law, these illegal immigrants seem to be quite wealthy. Logically speaking, since they yearn for America’s freedom and democracy, the Americans should give them visas and let them enter the country legally!”

"Why wouldn't we give them visas?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Yi stuffed a piece of water spinach into his mouth and answered without looking up:
Before discussing this issue, we need to clarify one thing first.

"That's why America was able to develop rapidly after World War II."

"In the early stages of World War II, they sold supplies to Japan and Germany on multiple fronts and made a fortune."

"In the later stages, by taking advantage of its distance from the World Island, it began to receive elites from various countries, which led to the prosperity after World War II."

"Their freedom and democracy are for these elites."

“If you can bring money, bring all sorts of things, they will be very happy to receive it.”

"Once you understand this, then look at these illegal immigrants."

What can they do?

“You say you yearn for freedom and democracy, which translates to you yearning for America’s welfare. That means you’re here to steal our meat, and I definitely won’t approve it.”

"But if you just want to play around, or if you show a lot of disdain for America's freedom and democracy, they will let you through and then show you all that, corrupting you with sugar-coated bullets."

"The more you don't want to go, the more he wants you to go; the more you want to go, the less he wants you to go!"

Lin Yi's words successfully attracted Ji Guoping's attention.

He tilted his head. "If that's the case, then if I go to America's visa officer and say I want to fight my way to America, will he give me a visa?" "They'll treat you like a terrorist!"

"That shouldn't be the case!"

"meeting!"

I want to give it a try!

"They're on holiday!"

"Shouldn't America's visa officer be concerned about America's schedule? What business is it of his if we celebrate the New Year?"

"He's in your country!"

"This shouldn't be the case in my country either..."

The father-in-law and son-in-law started arguing about the holiday. Ji An naturally grabbed the remote control, switched the TV channel to his favorite channel, and prepared to watch a TV series.

Just then, someone banged on the door, and shouts came from behind:
"Guoping, open the door, someone's looking for you!"

The knocking stopped the argument between the two. Ji Guoping went out and soon led several people into the hall.

Ji Guoping walked at the front, behind him were two people who looked similar in dress and appearance, and further back were several people whose dress and appearance were obviously different from theirs.

Because the other person was wearing an executive jacket.

After entering the room, Ji Guoping looked at Lin Yi: "Lin Yi, they're looking for you!"

"Huh?" Lin Yi was taken aback, his gaze sweeping over the group before settling on the two at the very back.

The man on the left is younger than Qin Chao, and the person next to him is clearly his secretary.

Sensing Lin Yi's gaze, the man naturally bypassed the group in front of him and introduced himself to Lin Yi before they could speak:
"My name is Yang Wei, the Party Secretary of Guangling!"

"President Lin may have heard my name from Qin Chao, or he may not have, and what he heard was probably not a good word."

After listening to the other person's self-introduction, Lin Yi nodded calmly:

"I heard it. He said... he said you're a lonely person!"

Hearing this nonsensical remark, Yang Wei's lips twitched, and he nodded slightly:
"That's definitely something he would say!"

After nodding, he noticed that people were still eating in the living room. He gave an apologetic smile and asked, "Did I come at a bad time?"

"It's alright, that's about enough!" Lin Yi waved his hand and turned to look at Ji Guoping:

"Dad, we need to go to your study to talk about something. Could you please make us a pot of tea?"

“Okay!” Ji Guoping turned around and went to take out his treasured tea leaves to boil water and brew tea, while Lin Yi led the others into Ji Guoping’s study.

The study wasn't large, only 12 square meters. Excluding the bookshelves and a few stools, it was quite crowded for a group of people to go in.

After a moment's thought, Yang Wei decisively left his secretary and the others outside the door, while he and Lin Yi went into the study alone for a chat.

Less than five minutes later, Ji Guoping came in with a cup of tea, put the tea down, and quickly left.

As he picked up the teacup, Yang Wei first gave an apologetic smile and said with a smile:

"I apologize for my intrusion today, Mr. Lin."

"I'll offer you tea instead of wine as an apology!"

"No need, no need!" Lin Yi waved his left hand, then picked up the teacup with both hands and clinked it with Yang Wei's, who was also holding the teacup with both hands. They each took a sip of tea.

The two men put down their teacups at the same time, and Lin Yi spoke first: "Secretary Yang, you must have something to discuss with me coming over the day before the New Year, right?"

"I have something to say!" Yang Wei didn't refuse, nodding decisively. Under Lin Yi's gaze, he took out a document from his briefcase and placed it in front of Lin Yi:
"Actually, the main reason I came here this time is to ask Mr. Lin for a favor!"

"After the 08 financial crisis, the country began large-scale construction, and Guangling also began to upgrade itself."

"Our industrial development plan mainly revolves around two points."

"The first point is the upgrading of traditional industries. Guangling is a traditional machinery and equipment manufacturing base and an auto parts production base."

"Therefore, we plan to base ourselves on this and upgrade traditional industries."

"The second point is to incubate emerging industries, such as solar energy, wind energy, new materials, and the electronic information industry, such as communication semiconductors, software and information services."

"But Mr. Lin has something we need, so I thought I'd come over at this time to see if I could ask him for help!"

"To address these issues, we should develop some industrial clusters!"

How about creating some industrial clusters?
After hearing this, Lin Yi unconsciously pressed his hands to his temples. If industrial clusters were so easy to create, there would be no national industrial upgrading plan or related support.

Yang Wei, who was opposite Lin Yi, also knew that this was difficult, so when Lin Yi rubbed his temples, he did not speak. Instead, he put the documents in his hand on the table and pushed them in front of Lin Yi.

With a sigh, Lin Yi picked up the documents on the table and, using the light of the small desk lamp, flipped through them from beginning to end.

He flipped to the last page and put the document down again:
"There are only two areas where I can help: the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry and the new energy photovoltaic industry."

"In the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry, our company needs a lot of machine tools, now and in the future. I can help support some companies."

"The development of new energy photovoltaics is now a major trend, and I can also provide support."

"The current automotive manufacturing industry mainly focuses on gasoline-powered vehicles. The manufacturing of electric vehicles is quite different from that of gasoline-powered vehicles. If you want to enter the electric vehicle market, you will need to make major adjustments and overhauls, which is not suitable for you."

“We are already making materials, ships, and electronic information ourselves, and Suzhou is also developing supporting industries. If I transfer these to you, Secretary Qin won’t kill me, but he will definitely kill you.”

Even if he can't kill you, he'll still have to get to your office door and curse you for at least two days.

Thinking of Qin Chao's fiery temper, Yang Wei touched his nose and nodded:
"Let's go with these two: the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry and the new energy industry."

"We're not greedy; being too greedy is bad!"

As he spoke, he took out several documents from his briefcase, sifted through them for a moment, and then placed two documents in front of Lin Yi:

"This is a plan we made for the development of the machinery and equipment manufacturing industry and the new energy industry."

"Take a look for us. If it's not suitable, we'll change it immediately. We can take advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday to have a proper discussion."

"Then we can get to work and move forward with great strides."

Lin Yi took the documents with both hands and flipped through them. He found that the relevant mechanical equipment manufacturing industry plan mainly targeted CNC machine tools, engineering machinery and equipment, and power equipment.

There is still a lack of some high-precision equipment.
