In name only: I will break the chess game in Handong!

Once downstairs, Huang Ming had already made the driver wait for quite some time.

Without any instructions, Chen Luo naturally stepped forward and opened the back door, letting Old Xu get in first.

Huang Ming, who had the same thought, was stunned for a moment. Wasn't this his job?

After Mr. Xu got into the car, Chen Luo was about to open the passenger door and get in himself when Mr. Xu stopped him.

"Are you disgusted by my old-man smell? You want to stay far away from me even when we're on a bus."

Chen Luo froze as he pulled the car door shut. Seeing Old Xu's ambiguous smile, he could only obediently get into the back seat and sit down next to Old Xu before explaining.

"Mr. Xu, you are in the prime of your life, it's not auspicious for you to say such things. Besides, I'd love to be right next to you, how could I possibly find that distasteful?"

Old Xu was just joking, and Chen Luo knew perfectly well that, so he explained it casually.

The vehicle started slowly and quickly left the Political and Legal Affairs Commission.

The central area of ​​power.

"On duty, an Audi with license plate number 京A.G6018 will be entering in 30 minutes! An Audi with license plate number 京A.G6018 will be entering in 30 minutes!"

The timing was impeccable; Mr. Xu's car entered the center of power without stopping at all.

This was Chen Luo's first time stepping into this center of power. He leaned against the window, constantly looking around, until the car stopped in front of a retro-style courtyard house.

"arrive!"

Old Xu, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, opened them. Upon hearing this, Chen Luo opened the car door first and then greeted Old Xu with a standard posture as he got out of the car.

Old Xu didn't stand on ceremony. After getting out of the car, he first tidied his clothes. At this moment, the gate of the courtyard opened and a middle-aged man around forty years old walked out.

"Secretary Xu, Elder Li sent me to pick you up!"

Old Xu nodded. "Thank you for your help, Director Tan."

"No trouble at all, Secretary Xu. This must be Comrade Chen Luo from Handong, right?"

Director Tan looked at Chen Luo with curiosity, while Elder Xu began to introduce him directly.

"Chen Luo, this is Mr. Li's personal secretary and office director, Tan Zhi, Director Tan."

"Hello, Director Tan!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Luo stepped forward and extended his hands. Director Tan smiled and shook hands with Chen Luo.

"Comrade Chen Luo, although this is our first meeting, Elder Li has mentioned you quite often, so we have known each other for a long time!"

Now that we've met, I realize what Old Li said was true!

Both are at the vice-provincial level, but Tan Zhi's position is rather special, so it's normal for Chen Luo to show him some respect.

Without delay, led by Director Tan, Chen Luo and Old Xu stepped into the courtyard. Old Xu was clearly not a first-timer and was already familiar with the place, while Chen Luo was first greeted by the fragrant aroma of winter plum blossoms in the courtyard.

The courtyard house was simply decorated, but there were several wintersweet trees in the center, their flowers in full bloom. It had snowed in Beijing last night in December, and the snowflakes mixed with plum blossoms created a delightful scene.

Passing through the archway, the light from the main room illuminated the way in the night. Director Tan first went to the door and gently knocked.

"Old Li, Secretary Xu and Comrade Chen Luo have arrived."

"Enter!"

The air inside was heavy and somber. Director Tan looked at Elder Xu and Chen Luo and said, "Secretary Xu, Comrade Chen Luo, please come in!"

With great care, Director Tan pushed the door open, and Chen Luo and Old Xu entered the room. After the two went in, Director Tan gently closed the door without making a sound.

The interior decoration style is retro, but of course there are also modern appliances.

The main room is a large hall with several sofas in it, where an elderly man in his sixties wearing glasses sat quietly.

"Second Elder, I've brought Chen Luo with me."

Mr. Xu did not stand on ceremony and sat down directly on the sofa next to Mr. Li.

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Chen Luo!"

Only Chen Luo stood ramrod straight!

Old Li first looked Chen Luo up and down, then turned to Old Xu and said, "Old Xu, are you satisfied with this great talent from Peking University?"

"Haha, I'm very satisfied!"

"I'm glad you're satisfied, Comrade Chen Luo. Please sit down and let's talk."

Having been given permission to sit down, Chen Luo readily sat in the chair opposite Elder Li and Elder Xu.

"Comrade Chen Luo, Director Xiao has already provided the State Council with the information you reported, but the specific details are still not very clear, which we understand. Now, please tell us more about Dongsheng's specific overseas investments."

Mr. Li was very busy and didn't have time to reminisce, so he went straight to the point.

Chen Luo nodded and said, "Mr. Li, Dong Sheng's current overseas capital valuation is around 480 billion US dollars. Of course, the valuation is not very important. What is important is that the industries invested in by our holding company, AMY Investment, are very special."

This includes new energy, lithography machines and chip manufacturing, CNC systems, tunnel boring machines, communication systems, industrial machine tools, and so on.

Currently, these important projects are all being researched and developed by AMY itself at its own expense through several research institutes overseas, and they are basically at the forefront of the world!

Upon hearing this, Old Li became somewhat uneasy.

"Are lithography machines and chips ready for mass production at present?"

This is what Mr. Li cares about most.

"able!"

Chen Luo's single word made Old Li unable to suppress his smile any longer.

"Great! In recent years, our country has been importing hundreds of billions of chips every year. We are being held back by others in terms of core technologies. I never expected that you would make such a big achievement overseas without making a sound!"

"He's truly young and promising!"

Chen Luo continued, "Professor Li, it is not difficult to transfer overseas research institutes to invest in and build factories in China for mass production. The difficulty lies in how to secretly transfer them back to China without letting other countries discover the connection with AMY Company."

Currently, AMY also holds shares in some high-quality overseas companies, and the annual dividends and profits from the stock market are sufficient to support the continued research of these research institutes...

It's not that my husband and I are stingy; we just want to continue using overseas funds to support the research institute's work.

Upon hearing this, Old Li shook his head.

"This is basically impossible. Once it is transferred back to China, foreign countries will definitely notice AMY's connection with these industries and launch an investigation. It's only a matter of time before they find out about China."

My suggestion is a "golden cicada shedding its shell" strategy: the State Council will help you bring all the industry and research institutes back to the country. As for the other shares you hold, cash out if appropriate, and quickly transfer the remaining shares through other means if you still want to hold them.

Chen Luo was already quite satisfied with this.

"Alright, Mr. Li, but there's one thing I might need the country's support for."

"Okay, go ahead!"

"After these industries are transferred back to China, I plan to settle them all in Lüzhou and build an industrial park."

After all, they are all配套 (matching/complementing) products; they can't be too scattered.

"No problem! I agree."

These are all your and your husband's businesses.

However, public and private are separate matters, and the government needs to hold controlling stakes in important industries such as lithography machines and chips.

Of course, we won't worry about you two suffering losses; the government will purchase them at market price.
