The system only arrives when you're old? Then let's create a super-rich family!

Meanwhile, in Beijing.

The five-star presidential suite was softly lit. Qin Zheng lightly touched the table with his fingertips, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He had assumed that Gao Ji'an would weigh the matter for a long time and consider all aspects before refusing, so he expected that the other party might agree to endorse the Qin family only after the second round of communication.

Unexpectedly, the other party made a quick decision. Not long after the first call ended, they called back and immediately agreed to all the funding and cooperation.

However, in an instant, Qin Zheng composed himself and his expression returned to calm.

For him, the process was completely irrelevant, as long as the final result was what he wanted.

"General, you are too kind."

"I am a citizen of the Dragon Kingdom. As the saying goes, when you are successful, you should help others. I am just doing my part."

Upon hearing this on the other end of the phone, Gao Ji'an's goodwill towards Qin Zheng increased once again.

He had been stationed on the southern border for many years. Although he held the rank of major general, few prominent families respected him or were willing to provide him with financial assistance.

As for the Li family of Zhao County and the Lu family of Fanyang, when they came to him, the only condition they offered was project funding. In reality, what they gave him was not up to him to decide, but rather the other party would give him whatever they could find out, which could be some basic supplies or something else.

In any case, it is far less than the trillion-yuan working capital that Qin Zheng funded and controlled.

Moreover, the Qin family's reason was to sympathize with the hardships faced by soldiers on the frontier. This kind of vision and mindset is truly rare.

Gao Ji'an's tone became increasingly solemn and sincere.

"Mr. Qin is being too modest."

"Your annual donations, amounting to trillions, are of irreplaceable and significant importance to the Southern Xinjiang Garrison Area and the entire southwestern border defense of the Dragon Kingdom!"

"With this funding in place, we can upgrade border defense equipment on a large scale, address logistical shortcomings, improve the treatment of soldiers, and minimize casualties in border anti-drug and defense operations."

"If this continues, the defense barrier in southern Xinjiang will be completely solidified, leaving no opportunity for drug lords in the Golden Triangle to infiltrate, thus thoroughly protecting the peace and tranquility of countless families in the inland areas!"

"You fully deserve the gratitude of all the soldiers guarding the border for this kindness and righteousness!"

Qin Zheng listened to the other party's sincere words, smiled faintly, and no longer declined.

"Since the general insists on this, then I will accept it without hesitation. I only hope that this resource will be used to truly protect the stability of the border, live up to the blood and sweat of the soldiers, and ensure the peace of the people. If there is any need for the defense of the southern border in the future, the general may simply ask, and the Qin family will not refuse."

Gao Ji'an was surprised by Qin Zheng's high level of ideological awareness and admired him immensely.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, the two hung up the phone.

Lu Cheng'an stood quietly to the side, bowing, and only stepped forward slowly after the call ended.

"Sir, what about General Zhou? Should we still try to persuade him?"

"Make a call for me tomorrow and ask again. If he's unwilling to endorse the Qin family, then forget it."

Qin Zheng had anticipated Zhou Shuo's rejection.

As someone in the military and political circles, Zhou Shuo must have heard rumors that the Qin family had been summoned for questioning by the Weiheng Supervision Bureau. It is only natural for him to have concerns and deliberately avoid risks.

But Qin Zheng would never waste too much energy on someone who repeatedly rejected him and harbored resentment.

There are countless generals and officials throughout the land.

If the lieutenant general refused, he went to the major general; if the major general refused, he went to the colonel, then the lieutenant colonel...

Aside from military generals, local civil servants, provincial governors, and secretaries are all potential partners.

With the Qin family's current immense wealth, which rivals that of a nation, it would be incredibly easy for them to support someone in rising to power and pave their way to a career in government.

There are talented people in the world who can be selected and employed; why should the Qin family be bound to one person?

Thinking of this, Qin Zheng casually gave the order:

"By the way, transfer that one trillion to Gao Ji'an. The sooner they get the money, the less pressure they'll face, which is always a good thing."

After saying this, he stood up, stretched, and turned to go into the inner room to rest.

"Yes, sir!"

Lu Chengan nodded in agreement.

After Qin Zheng turned off the light, he tiptoed out of the room and closed the door.

At the same time, he made a phone call to Gao Chuan.

The call connected very quickly, and Gao Chuan's calm and cool voice came through the receiver.

"Hello, who is this?"

"Director Gao, hello. I am Lu Cheng'an, Mr. Qin Zheng's personal butler."

"I apologize for disturbing you so late at night. I am calling to report something to the Registry of Balance Sheet."

"That's right. The Southern Xinjiang Garrison Area has always been right next to the Golden Triangle. The border soldiers have always worked hard to defend the country. Our boss wants to personally fund the development there to thank them for giving the people of the country a happy and stable living environment."

"Given the Qin family's current situation, is financial assistance permissible?"

Financial support from prominent families must go through the Weiheng Supervisory Bureau to prevent collusion and abuse of power for personal gain.

Everything should be made public as much as possible so that the higher-ups can feel at ease.

This is also why Lu Cheng'an wanted to find Gao Chuan.

Upon hearing this, Gao Chuan's eyes flashed with approval, and he responded in a calm tone.

"Can."

"Mr. Qin reported and acted in accordance with regulations and in a transparent manner, which is in accordance with the rules."

"If it's funded as a project, you need to prepare a complete set of project materials and a plan for the use of funds, submit them, and I will arrange for a specialist to evaluate and review the value and implement it through the formal process."

At this moment, Gao Chuan had already learned the inside story from Wei Zheng. As long as Qin Zheng did not leave Shangjing this week and behaved himself, everything else could be handled normally.

Moreover, the funding was for the southern border garrison area where his nephew Gao Ji'an was stationed, which was truly beneficial to the country, the people, and the military. He was already secretly pleased.

Lu Chengan immediately conveyed Qin Zheng's message.

"My master's intention is to provide one trillion yuan to the Southern Frontier every year. As for how to use it, the Qin family will not interfere; everything will be decided by Major General Gao."

"this..."

On the other end of the phone, Gao Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted, his eyes widened, and he froze on the spot, his breath catching in his throat for half a second.

An overwhelming shock swept over him, leaving his mind blank and unable to utter a single word.

One trillion in net cash flow!

It's important to know that China's total annual military expenditure is approximately three trillion.

The three trillion yuan military expenditure includes several sectors of spending, such as basic military pay, military research and development, food expenses, and equipment procurement.

In addition, the funds must be allocated in a coordinated manner to all war zones, multiple services (army, navy, air force), and countless grassroots units across the country, with allocations made at each level and distributed accordingly.

In the end, very little of the funds that reached the local war zones and garrison areas were freely available, and most were only enough to maintain basic operations.

Many border defense zones that want to update a batch of outdated equipment or replenish a batch of combat supplies have to go through layers of reporting, queue for approval, and wait for funding. The process is lengthy and funds are scarce.

But when Qin Zheng made a move, it was a net cash flow of trillions!

It's not a project investment with a cycle of several years, nor is it installment funds that arrive in batches. It's real, readily available cash that is entirely at the disposal of the local government!

This means that the defense budget for the Southern Xinjiang Garrison Area will increase by dozens of times in the coming year!

He dared not imagine how much political achievement his nephew could accomplish with this!

Qin Zheng is practically feeding his nephew a huge amount of political achievements!

Will Ji'an's name be on the list of nominees for lieutenant general promotion next year?

Will his nephew be promoted to lieutenant general next year?
