"Father. ”

Chen's father is quite old, and his hair has turned gray. His face was full of wrinkles, but his bearing was still very steady.

At this moment, his expression was a little unpleasant: "Say, what happened this time?"

Chen Zhixian hesitated: "In the process of returning home, our cargo ship encountered a group of pirates, including the cargo ship, everything was captured by the other party......

Father Chen's brows furrowed: "How did you and Xiao Liu get saved?"

"When we fled in a lifeboat, we met Mr. Lin, who rescued us and finally rescued us...... However, the Australian Coast Guard has so far failed to catch the pirates. ”

Father Chen sighed, and the wrinkles on his face deepened: "So, our family's ship is equivalent to sinking into the sea?"

Chen Zhixian was silent.

Father Chen shook his head and said, "I'll just say, after all, you are still too young, too reckless to do things, and don't listen to persuasion...... When you bought the boat, I was a little worried, but after all, I let you call the shots. ”

"In the current situation, with the cargo ship and the goods on it, our family has lost a lot of money this time, and we have to sell this villa!"

Chen Zhixian said: "Any business has risks, and you can't give up an industry because of risks." If that were the case, then no one would go to sea. ”

Father Chen asked: "Then why don't you choose an industry with less risk? Timor-Leste is developing, and with the help of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, our family's business will not be able to lose money." ”

"The risk is low, and the return is low. ”

Father Chen snorted: "I'll just ask you, what risks can you have?"

"If Indonesia invades Timor-Leste again, we Chinese businessmen, no matter how honest we are, will eventually return to poverty, and we may even lose our lives. ”

Father Chen said disapprenousively: "With Huaxia's current strength, do you think Indonesia will still do such a thing?"

Chen Zhixian was silent for a while: "Huaxia is indeed very strong and stable, but even in Huaxia, honest business people will still have all kinds of unavoidable risks. ”

"Father, you may not know it yet. Since a few years ago, Chinese people have rarely used cash in their daily lives, and online business activities have become more and more prosperous. ”

Correspondingly, those who open small shops and do small businesses are living more and more difficult. They are either integrated into the Internet, or they are eliminated by the times, looking at the increasingly bleak business, and they can't do anything except curse e-commerce. ”

After a pause, he continued: "Timor-Leste is poor, but it also needs industrialization and a richer economy. Our family's previous businesses were not necessary, and sooner or later they would decline, so it was better to transform as soon as possible. ”

Father Chen knocked on the table, a little angry: "So, you just let our family directly transform to the state ten years ago?"

Chen Zhixian was silent for a moment: "Just yesterday, I found a better opportunity. ”

"What better chances? What other chances can we have?"

"Mr. Lin, who is here today, is an entrepreneur in China...... He is quite strong and will be investing in oil resources in Timor-Leste in the near future, and I have promised him to be the head of his oil company. ”

Father Chen's eyes narrowed: "You want to help others work?"

"The terms he gave were very generous, and I could get a part of the shares...... And the salary. ”

Chen's father slapped the table: "You lost your family property and your salary, but what about the rest of the family's business? What about the loan we borrowed from ANZ Bank?"

Chen Zhixian hesitated: "The rest of the family's business, everything that can be sold can be sold, Mr. Lin's plan is very grand, not a small fight can be compared." ”

Father Chen laughed angrily: "You are starting to look down on your family? If it weren't for your grandfather and me, where would you come from?"

Chen Zhixian defended: "Compared with Mr. Lin's grand plan, our family's previous business can indeed only be regarded as a small fight, which is a fact. ”

Father Chen waved his hand: "Don't say it anymore! You are willing to take care of business for others, I can't stop you." But you don't have to worry about the rest of your family's business in the future!"

"Father's ......"

"Get out!" Father Chen looked grim.

Chen Zhixian wanted to speak again and again, but finally sighed, turned around and left with a low expression......

Leaving his father's room, he didn't go far, but he saw Lin Han standing nearby, leaning on the guardrail of the corridor.

Chen Zhixian was a little embarrassed and walked over: "Did you hear everything?"

Lin Han smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's nothing, what can prove a person can only be years, prove that your father's years have passed, and prove that your years have just begun." ”

Sometimes, Lin Han feels that being an orphan is not without benefits.

Although there is no protection from the parents, there is no pressure from the parents, and at the same time, there are no "relatives" that annoy many of their peers.

"The way of the world will advance, and the future will be better than the present...... Sooner or later, Timor-Leste will be ours. ”

......

In the east of São Paulo, the capital of Lautem Province, about 380 square kilometers of land was finally bought by Lin Han for more than $8 million after negotiations with many parties, including the provincial government.

The whole process was generally relatively smooth, and the governor of Lauteng Province showed considerable respect to Lin Han, an "industrial and commercial giant" from the Celestial Empire......

Most of the nearly 400 square kilometers of land is undeveloped raw land that is resource-scarce and unsuitable for cultivation, and the price is very low.

Of course, a small amount of farmland and peasant dwellings did cost a lot to buy. After all, in an agrarian society, the significance of land to farmers is indeed quite important.

Most of the peasants who had had enough of their land took the money and went to settle down elsewhere, after all, the price offered by Lin Han could be said to be very good, enough for them to settle down again in most parts of East Timor and live a more comfortable life.

There was also a small group of peasants, because of their more sophisticated farming skills, after the land was acquired by Lin Han, they turned to his hired laborers.

After all, more than 300 square kilometers of the nearly 400 square kilometers of land will be used for agricultural production.

According to Lin Han's vision, East Timor in the future will be "Lauten ripe and the world is full", and Timor-Leste's grain will be contracted by Lauten Province.

With his high-level biological authority, as well as some technology and resources from Huaxia, this is definitely not something out of reach.

A large area of land in the eastern part of Lauteng Province was successfully contracted by Lin Han.

But sure enough, when he proposed to buy Jack Island, the governor of Lauteng Province told him bluntly that he could not make the decision on this matter, and if Lin Han really wanted to buy it, he had to talk to the president of Timor-Leste.
