Chapter 137 Making money
"Me too. If you want to watch the opening ceremony, just watch it on TV." Ye Zhenzhen climbed out of the swimming pool and wiped the water off her body with a towel. "If you really can't stand it, you can watch the replay."
"It may not be possible to see it clearly in person." Lian Ximei said meaningfully.
"Let's go, change clothes and eat. I'm hungry." Lin Jingzhe stood up and said, holding a bottle of mineral water.

After dinner, it was still bright outside, and the fiery clouds burned half of the sky.
"The food here at the General Administration has improved a lot." Zina took out a tissue from her pocket, wiped her mouth, and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road. "All the benefits have been improved."
"Our priority now is to protect our target." Ye Zhenzhen said as she looked at them with a smile in her fox eyes.
"This is the Olympics!" Lian Ximei said with a smile.
"Ding-ling-ling..." The phone hanging on Lin Jingzhe's chest rang. He glanced at the caller ID and said, "I'll take the call."
"Let's go! Let's go back first. We're all sweaty after eating." Zina pointed at the sweat on her forehead and said, "It's so hot."
"Don't seek coolness!" Lin Jingzhe warned her, "You can't get sick now."
"I know, I know." Zina smiled and said, "I'll take a shower after I sweat a lot."
Lin Jingzhe watched them leave, sat on a bench by the roadside, and pressed the answer button. "Nannan, did you hear that?" Lin Xingzhi's anxious voice came.
"What can I expect from you when you're talking so nonsense?" Lin Jingzhe said with a smile on his face.
"China Grain Reserves Corporation held a press conference: 'We need to have 100 million tons of grain in reserve, enough to feed all of China...'" Lin Xingzhi laughed heartily. "I can imagine the four major grain traders' faces darkened when they heard this." He continued with a smile, "No matter how rich the four major grain traders are, they can't possibly buy 100 million tons of wheat. It's going to be difficult to sell later; no one can afford it." He frowned and said, "I didn't expect China Grain Reserves Corporation to come out and explain it personally."
"Because the Olympics are coming soon, we need to be stable at this time." Lin Jingzhe said with deep eyes.
"That's right! Before China National Grain Reserves Corporation came out, it was a bloody battle." Lin Xingzhi's eyes were dyed red by the setting sun. "After this battle, the four major grain merchants suffered heavy losses."
"I'll handle it when the time comes!" Lin Jingzhe said with his bright eyes flashing red.
"Nannan, guess how much we earned?" Lin Xingzhi said mysteriously.
"I don't know that?" Lin Jingzhe shook his head slightly and said casually, "I need to know how much you invested."
"Your bonus, the five million deposited in the bank..." Lin Xingzhi couldn't stop smiling.
"Wait... wait a minute, why is there so much money?" Lin Jingzhe put the phone to his ear and whispered.
"This is a reward from Dad for your competition." Lin Xingzhi's calm eyes turned, "You can ask Dad about this. My pocket money over the years, plus Shen Ze's money, and Wei Wei's money, it all comes to nearly 20 million." He counted on his fingers and said, "When I withdrew, it had tripled in US dollars! Then I shorted it all, and I don't know how much it is now." He said with a smile, "Anyway, I made a lot of money and became financially free."
"Just the four of us?" Lin Jingzhe raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that.
"I wouldn't dare to do that to anyone else! What if I lose? I can't afford it." Lin Xingzhi said with a deep look in his eyes. "We have some spare cash, so we won't spend any money." He said excitedly, "How do you plan to spend this money?"
"What about you?" Lin Jingzhe asked curiously.
Lin Xingzhi said with a smile, "Of course I'll invest it in my business. Now that I have enough funds, I don't need to ask my dad for money."
Lin Jingzhe chuckled and said, "Are you and Dad still doing business as usual?"
"Of course, if the plan isn't well written, it won't be approved! I used to spend every penny carefully," Lin Xingzhi said pitifully. "Dad is ruthless."
"That's normal! We're not afraid of the second generation squandering the family fortune, but we're afraid of the second generation starting a business." Lin Jingzhe said jokingly with a smile on his lips.
Lin Xingzhi was stunned when he heard this, then he said lovingly, "Nannan! We have a serious business."
"I know, I know, I was just kidding, don't be angry." Lin Jingzhe said embarrassedly, and the girl's voice was sweet and soft, "Brother, don't be angry."
"Why would I be angry with you?" Lin Xingzhi said gently, "Have you decided what to buy? Jewelry, women find it hard to resist shiny things, or maybe buying property in Hong Kong..."
"No, no, I don't want to buy a house in Hong Kong Island!" Lin Jingzhe said without thinking, "A house that looks like a pigeon cage is called a luxury house. The roads are narrow and it's cramped to live in. Causeway Bay is not even as big as our town!"
"You dislike it so much!" Lin Xingzhi said jokingly, "I used to love going there."
"Before, we were poor and had a filter for it, beautifying it. How can living in that cramped place be more comfortable than living in a big city in the mainland? Unless you are super rich. Even if you are super rich, so what? It is still more comfortable to live in the mainland. There are more consumer products and the prices are cheaper. The vastness of the country is beyond their imagination. A fishing village is just a fishing village, petty!" Lin Jingzhe said with undisguised disdain, "I don't like it now, and I dislike their condescending attitude even more. I don't know what's so noble about it. They care about bloodline like Europeans and Americans, but our dogs only care about whether their bloodline is pure or not. It's just a colony." He said with a slight chill in his eyes, "And we have to speak Cantonese and English. They look down on us for speaking Mandarin. Didn't they get richer than us? Don't they know how they got rich? Do they really think they can rely on themselves? It's just a window. The door has been opened long ago. Who would jump out of the window!"
"Haha..." Lin Xingzhi laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes. "I never knew you were so good at talking, Nannan!"
"They treat foreigners the same way. What a joke." Lin Jingzhe curled his lips in disdain. "Do they really think that wearing a suit, a gentleman's hat, and carrying a walking stick means they can live up to the civilized, free, and democratic values they claim to uphold? I don't know how they became so advanced! At heart, they're still bandits, lacking even the most basic manners."
"I remember now. At the World Championships, you shook hands with them when you won the silver medal, but neither the gold nor the bronze medalists shook hands with you," Lin Xingzhi said grimly. "The gold medalist didn't even invite you to take a photo with them."
"How did you know?" Lin Jingzhe asked curiously, "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten it long ago."
"The camera my dad brought back filmed the whole process." Lin Xingzhi closed his dark eyes and suppressed his anger.
"Your Cantonese is very good." Lin Xingzhi raised his lip corners when he heard this and said, "Your English is not bad either, but I put a lot of effort into learning it."
