Chapter 643 Investment Intentions

Lin Yi still didn't quite believe it, but he thought that Lin Geng couldn't possibly lie to him, because there was no point in Lin Geng lying to him. He turned around and asked his mother, and naturally exposed Lin Geng's lie.

But he still felt that this matter was a bit absurd. Although his father was indeed very capable, the fact that his mother was willing to share his father with Aunt Lou was a bit destructive to his worldview. If this were to get out, wouldn't people criticize him?

In other words, people in the early 1980s were still quite conservative. Lin Yi found it absurd that two women shared one man, and he found it hard to accept, but he had no choice.

Although he is young, he has high emotional intelligence and IQ. If he were in the father's position, he would not be able to give up or make a choice between Lou Xiao'e and his mother. It would be heartless to abandon anyone, so if you think about it carefully, it seems that the mother's choice is the only way to prevent the father from being too embarrassed.

So he sighed and waved his hands, saying, "Forget it, I don't care. You guys can do whatever you want. As long as mom isn't sad, I have no problem with that! No, I have to go ask my mom what she thinks! Is she so mad at you? She's too great! Why didn't I see that before?"

Lin Geng was speechless at his son's words. He could only wave his hand helplessly and said, "Get lost. If you don't believe me, go ask your mom yourself! By the way, after asking your mom, don't tell your grandparents about this! I'm afraid they won't be able to accept it!"

Next, Lin Geng handed the company's affairs over to Yu Li and Xu Damao, and he took Lou Xiao'e to discuss investment projects with officials in Sijiu City. The Sijiu City officials attached great importance to Lou Xiao'e, and the city leaders took time out to discuss with them.

These city leaders all knew Lin Geng. When they first saw Lin Geng accompanying Lou Xiao'e, they were all surprised. Later, they quickly arranged for people to investigate. Only then did they know that before Lou Xiao'e left Beijing, she and Lin Geng had been lovers. After the Lou family fled to Hong Kong, Lin Geng was implicated and was taken away by relevant departments for investigation for a long time.

Now that Lou Xiao'e is back, these leaders sigh when they think about the ridiculous things that happened in the past. Although some things were a bit excessive given the environment at the time, it cannot be said that they were completely wrong. Each era has its own considerations, so the Lou family suffered some grievances at the time.

However, the eldest daughter of the Lou family returned to Sijiu City as soon as possible after the reform and opening up, and proposed to invest in Sijiu City to contribute to the country's development. This moved the leaders very much, so they attached great importance to Lou Xiao'e's trip.

When he learned that Lou Xiao'e had returned to the small Western-style building where their family used to live in Hong Kong in the past two days, before Lin Geng even brought it up, he wondered whether the small Western-style building could be returned to the Lou family. After all, when they fled to Hong Kong, the property was not sold and was still under the name of their family.

The leaders of Sijiu City had already held a meeting in advance to discuss the matter and made a decision. They decided to take advantage of this opportunity when Lou Xiao'e returned to Sijiu City to invest and, in order to show the official sincerity, return the small Western-style building that the Lou family had previously lived in, which had been sealed off, to the Lou family.

When Lou Xiao'e heard her leader say that they would return the small Western-style building they used to live in to her, she was so excited that tears filled her eyes. After all, she was born in this small Western-style building and grew up here. It carried her twenty years of memories. It would be nonsense to say that she had no feelings for this house.

How could Lou Xiao'e not be excited when she heard the leaders say they would return the house to her? She thanked the leaders again and again, and immediately promised to invest in Sijiucheng to repay the leaders' kindness.

Next, Lin Geng accompanied Lou Xiao'e and the leaders of Sijiu City to discuss investment directions and projects. Lin Geng also believed that manufacturing was the foundation of national development, so he supported Lou Xiao'e's investment in industry. Finally, under Lin Geng's suggestion, Lou Xiao'e decided to invest in and build a large electrical appliance factory in Sijiu City.

In Hong Kong, the Lou family did not actually put all their bets on the stock market and real estate. Lou's father still felt that the family business must also include industry, so after they became rich in Hong Kong, they invested in an electrical appliance factory to produce electric fans, washing machines, televisions and other home appliances. In addition, Mr. Lou was very good at doing industry, and over the years, the Lou family's home appliances have entered the international market, and the quality is quite good.

So Lou Xiao'e decided to invest in building an electrical appliance factory in Sijiucheng. The Lou family and Sijiucheng government would jointly build the factory, which would be managed by management personnel sent by the Lou family.

At the beginning, there were some disagreements on who should be responsible for management. Some leaders believed that if the two parties cooperated, official personnel should be sent to the factory to manage the production and operation of the electrical appliance factory.

On this point, Lou Xiao'e was very determined. A joint venture factory was acceptable, and the Lou family could even allow Sijiucheng officials to hold a larger share. However, in terms of production and operation management, the electrical appliance factory must be managed by people sent by the Lou family, and Sijiucheng officials could only supervise production and operations.

The reason is very simple. That is, the current domestic factory management methods are outdated, and the electrical production process requirements are also very strict. Currently, domestic managers are completely unable to meet the requirements in this regard.

The Lou family came back to invest in building a factory, on the one hand to support national policies and set an example, but investment requires returns, and building a factory is to make money, otherwise, such an investment would be meaningless. Even if a factory is built, if it is not well managed, it will collapse in the future.

At first, the leaders were not very happy about what Lou Xiao'e said, but they also studied the opinions put forward by Lou Xiao'e seriously, and compared the current domestic technical management level and the management level of modern enterprises with international management methods. Finally, these leaders had to admit that the current domestic technical level and management level in electrical appliance production are indeed far behind those of Hong Kong companies and international advanced companies.

Finally, these leaders held a meeting to study the matter and concluded that the request raised by Lou Xiao'e was understandable. Since the Lou family invested in building a factory in Sijiu City and were willing to form a joint venture with the government, the factory must be profitable in the future. If the factory could not make a profit in the future due to backward management, then it would be an investment failure. Not only would the money invested by the Lou family be lost, but it would also affect the future introduction of foreign investment.

So in the end, the leaders decided to agree to Lou Xiao'e's request. The two parties would jointly build a factory. Since the government had no money, it would use land and future electricity and transportation investment for the factory. The Lou family would invest funds, introduce advanced foreign production equipment, and be responsible for the management of the electrical factory. The government would send people to supervise the operation, but would not interfere with the Lou family's management of the factory unless under special circumstances.

Finally, with the help of Lin Geng, Lou Xiao'e identified an area in Sijiu City as the next factory site. The transportation here is convenient and the electricity supply will also be convenient in the future.

In order to thank the government for returning some of the Lou family's previous assets and residences in Sijiu City, Lou Xiao'e made another decision to build a large power plant in Sijiu City to meet the electricity needs of Sijiu City's rapidly expanding factories in the future.

This decision surprised the leaders of Sijiu City, and they expressed their gratitude to Lou Xiao'e for her magnanimity.
