Chapter 731 Industrial Overlord (The Finale)

October 2012, 10, New York Harbor, USA.

The newly completed Zhonghua Port District is like a sea of ​​five-star red flags, and people's smiling faces are more brilliant than the red flags.Thousands of Chinese, overseas Chinese, and Chinese students crowded around the pier, stood on tiptoes, and looked into the distance.The crew and dock workers from various countries in the surrounding port area also looked sideways, not knowing what major event was about to happen.

In the past year, the situation has changed a lot.

Since the shallow mountain wind farm lawsuit, the U.S. government has fully relaxed restrictions on Chinese companies investing in the United States, and at the same time canceled many trade sanctions against China.As a result, Chinese industrial products began to enter the U.S. market on a large scale, which had a huge impact on the domestic industry in the United States.

Faced with competition from China, the U.S. wind and solar industries quickly struggled.A few months ago, Solyndra, a solar cell manufacturer that had received nearly $60 billion in loan guarantees from the U.S. government, declared bankruptcy.Affected by this incident, Sisay finally gave up the idea of ​​revitalizing the American manufacturing industry and began to accept the reality.

After continuing to clean energy products, wireless communication equipment, network equipment, high-speed rail, machine tools, nuclear power equipment, etc. from China have also gained a firm foothold in the United States. A large number of American companies have been defeated in the competition with Chinese companies, and many companies have been defeated Merged by Chinese companies.Some mainstream media in the United States exclaimed: China is buying the entire United States.

In order to balance the trade deficit, the United States has increased the scale of exporting agricultural products and resource products such as coal, oil, and rare earths to China.In the Pacific Ocean, huge freighters carry clothing, home appliances, machine tools, and large complete sets of equipment from west to east, while soybeans, corn, wheat, and various ores are carried from east to west.

Economists looked at this scene and felt stunned. A developing country is selling manufactured goods to a developed country, while the developed country is exporting primary products to the developing country. This has subverted the basic economics. Learn common sense.

In addition to industrial investment, the wealthy Chinese have also begun to invest heavily in real estate and infrastructure in the United States, and some people even lease land in the United States to grow crops.Just a few months ago, with the help of U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ford, China Hanhua Heavy Industry Group purchased a port area in New York Harbor for US$25 billion and renamed it Zhonghua Port Area.

Many people are speculating on Hanhua's purpose of purchasing the port area, and this question was finally answered a few days ago.The Chinese in New York told each other that on the National Day, the Chinese aircraft carrier formation will visit the United States, and it will be in this Zhonghua port area.

"Come on, come on!" Someone with sharp eyes shouted out first.

The crowd suddenly became restless, and everyone held up binoculars and digital cameras, wanting to witness this historic moment for the first time.

At the end of the blue Embross Channel, a huge monster appeared slowly, heading towards the pier calmly.The dark gray hull is like a moving hill, exuding an awe-inspiring arrogance.Beside the ship's side, tall and straight sailors and soldiers lined up in a mighty line; on the bridge, the bright August [-]st military flag fluttered in the wind.

Today is the day when the Chinese naval aircraft carrier formation visits New York. This is an ordinary visit, and it is also a visit that shocked the world.What is entering New York Harbor is a world-leading [-]-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier designed and built by China itself.Its arrival means that China's blue water navy has been able to compete with the traditional maritime hegemony of the United States.Its arrival declares to the world that China's rise is unstoppable just like the rising sun on the sea.

"Long live the motherland!"

I don't know who couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and shouted out the voice that everyone had accumulated for a long time.

"Long live the motherland!"

"Long live the motherland!!!"

The cheers were like a tide, flooding the entire New York Harbor in an instant, and countless colorful balloons soared into the sky, vaguely forming a shape of a map of China in the air.

On the roof platform of a five-story building behind the port area, Ford, who was invited to watch the ceremony, put down the binoculars in his hand, smiled and reached out to Lin Zhenhua and Liu Xianghai beside him:
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Liu, congratulations."

"Thank you." Lin Zhenhua held Ford's hand and replied politely.

"Unexpectedly, you came so soon." Ford said.

Lin Zhenhua smiled slightly: "Yes, Ford, do you remember, I said 30 years ago that we will come sooner or later."

Ford said: "Napoleon once said that China is a sleeping lion. Once it wakes up, it will shock the world. Now that you have really woken up, the world will be shocked."

Lin Zhenhua said: "Mr. Ford, the Chinese nation is a nation that values ​​peace as the most important thing. We knew this thousands of years ago. A unipolar world is dangerous, and only balance can last. We are here for the purpose of For the sake of peace, please convey this to your fellow citizens."

"My old friend, I believe in you, and I also believe in the Chinese. Well, goodbye, I will not delay your Chinese celebration, and hope our friendship will last forever."

Ford shook hands with Lin Zhenhua and Liu Xianghai respectively, and then left the roof platform.Liu Xianghai watched Ford go away, then turned his head and said to Lin Zhenhua: "Xiao Lin, this aircraft carrier formation can successfully visit the United States, and your Hanhua Group is the first to contribute."

Lin Zhenhua, whose hair had faint silver threads, said with a smile: "Old Liu, you are the chief engineer of the aircraft carrier, and you are the real first. We just did some things we should do."

Liu Xianghai said: "Behind a strong national defense is a strong economic strength. Without the support of local enterprises like you, we would not have been able to build such a large aircraft carrier. Also, if your group hadn't spent 25 billion dollars to buy it this time In this Zhonghua port area, I don’t know where my aircraft carrier is parked yet.”

"That's true. This time we facilitated the aircraft carrier formation to visit the United States during the National Day. The U.S. government gave the green light, but several American port tycoons were unconvinced and refused to provide a dock for the aircraft carrier. In a fit of anger, I took out 25 If a billion dollars is dropped, this Zhonghua Port area will be smashed down." Lin Zhenhua said with a chuckle.

"Xiao Lin, you speak like a big boss now."

"As the saying goes, money is the guts of the poor. The feeling of being rich is really...so what." Lin Zhenhua swallowed back a catchphrase abruptly.

Liu Xianghai laughed loudly: "Haha, I praised you just now, but now you show your true nature again. That's right, it's still the same Xiaolin 30 years ago, and it hasn't changed at all."

Lin Zhenhua felt a little emotional for a while: "No, in a flash, it has been more than 30 years."

Liu Xianghai said affectionately: "Yes, for more than 30 years, we have put in so much effort for this day. The sweat we shed can fill the entire Atlantic Ocean. It is these sweats that support our aircraft carrier."

Lin Zhenhua said: "This is the struggle of a generation, this is the sweat of a generation. I am very lucky to be able to experience this passionate era. Let's go, Lao Liu, there is a table of wine and food prepared by Lanlan, let's go Have a few drinks to celebrate."

Liu Xianghai said: "Xiao Lin, the general assembly has prepared a celebration banquet. You are a great hero, how can you not attend?"

Lin Zhenhua waved his hands again and again: "Hehe, my wish has been fulfilled, and it's time to retire. Let the young people attend the celebration banquet."

Liu Xianghai blamed: "In front of me, an old man in his 70s, do you still dare to call him old? I still remember how stupid you were when you first entered the factory. You just turned 18 that year, right?"

"Yes, when I entered this era, I was just 18 years old..." Lin Zhenhua said meaningfully, his thoughts seemed to fly back to the summer of 1979.

……

On the second day after the Chinese aircraft carrier visited New York, US President Sissey delivered a televised speech with both emotion and appearance.In his speech, he pointed out that the United States and China are natural strategic partners. The United States welcomes China to participate more in international affairs and is willing to establish full mutual trust with China.He believes that the United States has opened its ports to China and allowed Chinese aircraft carriers to dock, which shows that the differences caused by ideological differences have been eliminated between the United States and China, and they have reached the realm of seeking common ground while reserving differences.

Sisay also said that the world in the 21st century should be a diverse world.After the disintegration of the former Soviet Union, the United States, as the only superpower in the world, has undertaken a large number of tasks to maintain world peace. Now, it is time to invite China to share these responsibilities.

Xi Sai's speech did not attract much attention, but the "Time" magazine published a few days later attracted a lot of attention.On the cover of this publication, a large portrait of Lin Zhenhua is printed, and in the background are groups of Chinese workers wearing yellow hard hats and blue overalls.

The headline on the cover reads:

Lin - the overlord of industry!
