Chapter 40: Faithfulness and Integrity

It was January 4008, New Year's Day had passed, and the whole country was preparing to welcome the arrival of the New Year.

4008 is a year worthy of writing in the history of the Orthodox Kingdom, and it is also a year for the people of the Orthodox Kingdom to be proud. The Olympics will be held in Yanjing, the capital of the Orthodox Kingdom.

But 4008 was also a worrying year. Due to historical reasons, Shunzhou Province, the orthodox country, has been isolated overseas since its founding in 3949 and has not returned to the embrace of the orthodox family.

As the Olympics are getting closer, some independent elements are clamoring to declare independence during the Olympics and have received secret support from Japan, the United States and other countries.

The orthodox country has a tough attitude on this issue and has publicly stated many times that as long as Shunzhou declares independence, Shunzhou will be recaptured even if the Olympics are not held.

This is mainly because Shunzhou is a natural barrier on the southeast coast of Zhengtong Country, which can serve as the main point to play a backbone support for our coastal defense. Shunzhou and Danzhou complement each other and form a "two-eye", which is enough to cover the strategic depth of the six provinces and cities in the southeast coast of Zhengtong Country and this direction.

The Shunzhou Strait is about 220 nautical miles long and has an average width of about 90 nautical miles. It is the throat of the coastal maritime transportation of the Zhengtong Kingdom and an important international channel in the Western Pacific region. There are as many as 100 merchant ships per day. There are three of the four major foreign trade routes in the Zhengtong Kingdom that need to go south. The smooth navigation of the Shunzhou Strait is of great significance to the constant development of the Zhengtong national economy and foreign trade.

Although the Zhengtong Kingdom has a coastline of 18,400 kilometers, it is only connected to one ocean. The seas of the Zhengtong Kingdom are surrounded by the first island chain, which is actually in a semi-closed state. If you want to enter the ocean, you must break out of the first island chain and break the chain that is entangled on your body. Among the sections of this chain, Shunzhou is the weakest link.

Shunzhou faces the Pacific Ocean direction and has a long coastline. Each kilometer-long coastline on the east side has an exclusive economic zone of hundreds of square kilometers outside. Moreover, the Zhengtong Kingdom has a 100,000 square kilometers of submarine resource development area in the Eastern Pacific Ocean. Shunzhou Island is the main base for the Pacific underwater resources to advance. In other words, Shunzhou is also the gateway for the Zhengtong Kingdom to move towards the ocean. A fleet attacked from Shunzhou, and within two days, the maneuverability range could cover the entire Zhengtong Kingdom's coast.

It can be seen that due to the superior conditions of Shunzhou, it has the advantages of both offense and defense. Its role is far beyond the reach of dozens and hundreds of coral reefs, nor can it be summarized by a "never-sinking aircraft carrier".

It is precisely for the above reasons that the people of the orthodox countries know that once Shunzhou declares independence, a war will be inevitable. But for the interests of all orthodox, the people have no complaints at all.

Moreover, the orthodox country has made arrangements. A few years ago, the transformation of old industrial bases in the Northeast and the development and construction of the western region were implemented nationwide. It has planned and purposefully gradually moved large industrial enterprises along the southeast coast to the Northeast and western regions to prevent the outbreak of war and caused huge losses to the national economy.

As the Olympics approaches, this migration plan is coming to an end. 90% of the large industrial enterprises in the southeast coast have moved to inland areas such as the Northeast and the West.

Xincheng Group also intends to migrate to the Northeast or the West to avoid possible harm caused by war. However, after inspecting several places, the conditions have not been agreed upon, and Xincheng Group is reluctant to leave this land where it has risen.

But as the Olympics have entered the countdown, the international situation is becoming increasingly tense, and the war is about to break out, the chairman and directors of Xincheng Group have also begun to rush to relocate.

Lin Xi also fully analyzed the international and domestic situation before focusing on Xincheng Group.

Lai Shike, the CEO of Xincheng Group, personally met Lin Xi and his party from Qingji County in the group's small conference room.

Lin Xi sent relevant materials from Qingji County to Lai Shike, highlighting the animal husbandry resources and low labor advantages of Qingji County. Lai Shike asked about some relevant situations about Qingji County. After three days of arduous talks, Xincheng Group and Qingji County represented by Lin Xi reached a preliminary agreement. Xincheng Group will invest 10 million yuan to establish a branch factory in Qingji County and set up two leather shoe production lines. Qingji County is responsible for providing 100,000 square meters of land for free and is responsible for handling various relevant procedures.

After the branch is completed, depending on the operation, Xincheng Group has the right to decide whether additional investment is needed, or even move the headquarters of Xincheng Enterprise to Qingji County. If Xincheng Enterprise decides to move its headquarters to Qingji County, Qingji County has the obligation to provide Xincheng Group with free 180 acres of land for the construction of the factory. Of course, Xincheng Group only has the right to use this land, and does not have the right to transfer it.

When the news came back to Qingji County, both leading cadres and ordinary people in the county were praised and felt that Lin Xi, the new county party secretary, was not simple. In less than two months after he arrived, he introduced a first-class and world-renowned large group enterprise in China.

The main leaders of the province and the city also highly praised Lin Xi's approach and called on all leading cadres at all levels in the province to seize this historical opportunity, take full advantage of the situation, and accelerate the pace of investment promotion.

Only three days after Lin Xi returned to the county, the Xincheng Group's inspection team arrived. After careful investigation and negotiation, the two sides finally decided to build the company on the side of the Chunqing Line Expressway. Although this time it was only a project with an investment of about tens of millions, no one in the county dared to underestimate it. After all, there was a Xincheng Group with fixed assets of 1.4 billion yuan behind it.

County Mayor Zeng Sijiang did not make any jokes about this, because it was a thing that was good for others and oneself after all. Although he secretly hated him, after this, Gong was afraid that even if Lin Xi really gained a foothold in Qingji, there was nothing he could do about it. If he really had a direct conflict with Lin Xi, he still didn't know who was at the end and could only wait for the opportunity.

Due to the high attention of the leaders at the provincial, municipal and county levels, the Xincheng Group's project operates as quickly as possible. Lin Xi appointed the executive deputy county magistrate to be responsible for the construction of the project. He directly reported to him if there are any problems. He also required all departments in the county to green light for the Xincheng Group project.

Moreover, in terms of land compensation, Lin Xi learned from Fengtian County's lessons and asked the Executive Deputy County Mayor Zhang Tao to do this good job and do it in a practical way, without any unstable factors. The compensation will be paid by the county finance, and the annual taxes will be gradually compensated by Xincheng Group.

Two months later, the Xincheng Group Branch, which owns two production lines, was officially established. After one month of production, the company got on the right track. Moreover, due to the decrease in raw materials and labor prices, although freight rates increased, overall, the overall profit of the company not only did not decline, but instead increased. There was no problem that the company began to worry about inland officials interfering with the normal operation of the company.

As the Olympics period is getting closer, it is only about 5 months. The international situation is even more tense, and the situation in Shunhai is not optimistic. The Japanese Self-Defense Force has patroled the Shunhai waters many times, and the US fleet visited Shun twice within three months.

Countries around the world are speculating whether this Shunhai War will trigger World War III. Russia, North Korea and other countries, which are closely related to orthodox countries, have issued statements supporting the position of an orthodox country. It seems that a local war in Shunhai is inevitable.

Under this situation, Xincheng finally made up his mind to move Xincheng headquarters and main production lines to Qingji County.

At the end of March, after asking the provincial and municipal governments for instructions, Qingji County signed a comprehensive cooperation agreement with Xincheng Group. In accordance with the opinions of the main leaders of the provincial party committee and the provincial government and the principle of special handling, Qingji County provided Xincheng Group with 160 acres of land free of charge. 11 large construction teams immediately entered this land, with tall buildings and factories rising from the ground.

By mid-June, all basic buildings had been completed, and in early July, various large-scale equipment entered the factory and was tested.
