The Naran archipelago is not large, with a total of five islands, one large and four small, as well as scattered islands and reefs, all of which together are less than 2,000 square kilometers.

The location is also very far from the continental United States.

Coupled with the insistence of the Lin family patriarch at the beginning.

In short, for various reasons, the Naran Islands are not federalized. The government is directly under its jurisdiction and has really become a part of the U.S. Federation, but like Guam, it is just in the name of a U.S. territory.

If the administrative level is not high enough, there will be restrictions on the level of exposure to foreign exchanges.

In other words, even if the Nalan Islands protest in the name of the official, it may not be taken seriously by the General Administration of Optoelectronics of the Celestial Empire. Not to mention urging them to issue documents and get bad media to apologize for their false reports.

Thinking like this, Lin Zhicheng couldn't help but interrupt Catherine's words and questioned her suggestion.

"You're right." Catherine nodded, as if she agreed with his analysis, but before Lin Zhicheng could be proud, she suddenly changed her words: "However, I never said that I would contact the highest level." ”

It turned out that the higher-level institutions mentioned in Catherine's words did not refer to the General Administration of Optoelectronics, which is directly under the jurisdiction of the central government.

Big media outlets with official backgrounds like the People's Daily have not joined in the effort to smear Lin Zhicheng, or rather, they have not published any news related to Lin Zhicheng and the Nalan Islands at all.

It is precisely in order to attract attention and increase sales that they deliberately ignore the authenticity of the news, and report the unconfirmed news purely from the perspective of pursuing the breaking point.

None of these small media can be regarded as national-level, and the higher-level agency responsible for managing them is only a provincial or even municipal unit.

Although the administrative level of the Nalan Islands cannot directly communicate with the State Administration of Optoelectronics at the national level, it already has enough weight in front of the provincial and municipal management agencies.

"I see." After listening to Catherine's explanation and thinking about it carefully, Lin Zhicheng nodded and gave a thumbs up.

"The key is to tell the truth." Catherine continued: "Now, there is no governing body to control it, and in the end, it is because all the media are so unanimous that they have no doubt about the veracity of the news. As long as we tell the facts and form a confrontation, then, out of prudence, they should send some people to investigate and collect evidence to find out the real facts. ”

"Even though the news came from the villagers, even if someone was sent to inquire, there would probably not be a different answer. However, one thing is undeniable, and that is that the land that should have belonged to you has been given to others. After a pause, Catherine said in a very affirmative tone: "Whether it is a record or an archive, in short, this matter will definitely leave information." I don't think it's possible to modify this file with the villagers' ability alone. In other words, as long as the higher authorities send investigators, from top to bottom, they can quickly find this file, draw conclusions from this evidence, and overturn the villagers' claims. ”

"And I don't think everyone in the village says the same thing. Either out of profit or wanting to be in the limelight, they deliberately followed the guidance of reporters, regardless of the facts, and told the lies that reporters wanted to hear the most. However, in the face of the investigators sent from above, do they dare to continue to lie? I think there will always be people who can't bear the pressure to tell the truth of things. Then, as soon as the breakthrough is opened, things will be simpler. ”

While listening to Catherine's analysis, while carefully pondering her words, after thinking for a while, Lin Zhicheng had to admit that her proposal was indeed very operational.

However, in the process of thinking, Lin Zhicheng also found a problem - after solving the problem according to her proposal, the predicament that Cao Aiguo and Lin Jinzhi and his wife are facing will not be improved, and even the villagers may be more resentful of the two who stand on opposite sides because they are under pressure from the top.

Being splashed with dirty water is not the reason why Lin Zhicheng wants to make trouble, anyway, it is separated by a Pacific Ocean, and it doesn't hurt.

In his heart, what he was most worried about was his aunt's family, and Catherine's proposal couldn't take care of them, and this result was not what Lin Zhicheng wanted.

"Don't worry, I still have something to say." Hearing Lin Zhicheng's request again, Catherine picked up the cup and poured herself a glass of water, moistened her throat, and then continued: "Didn't I just say that you can start from two aspects. To put it bluntly, in addition to protesting at the official level, we can also do some work in private. ”

"What to do?"

"It's simple, invest." Catherine stretched out a white finger and pointed at Lin Zhicheng: "At your expense, please manage it with your aunt and uncle." Whether it's a farm or a factory, in short, as long as you get some industry, things will be solved smoothly. ”

Whether you are setting up a farm or starting a factory, you need to hire people. In Lin Zhicheng's hometown, there are no migrant workers, that is to say, if you want to hire people, you can only find them locally.

Either the young people from the village, or the people from the neighboring villages, in short, the hired workers must be locals, and they don't live too far.

When these people join the farm or factory, as long as they do not deduct the remuneration they deserve, then, naturally, they will subconsciously regard Cao Aiguo and Lin Jinzhi, who are managers, as their own people.

Not to mention how much support you have, at the very least, you will say a fair word for the couple.

The so-called gossip is all following the trend.

After someone stands up and says fairly, the direction of the wind will begin to change, perhaps, it will take some time to completely turn it around, but in the end, it will still be rectified - a lie is a lie after all, no matter how lively it is, it will not become true, and in the face of the facts, it will be exposed sooner or later.

"Yes, yes, it's a pretty good idea~." The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was appropriate, the pressure in my heart was swept away, and the whole person was relaxed. Happy, Lin Zhicheng unconsciously opened his hands and gave Catherine a big hug: "Thank you, Catherine, you are really my good helper." ”

was hugged by Lin Zhicheng unexpectedly, and Catherine had a little accident. However, for her, who has been exposed to Western culture since she was a child, this hug does not make her feel shy.

"Since you've said so, I'll be more serious." With a smile on her face, Catherine winked at Lin Zhicheng playfully: "I'll go back and investigate and see if there are any projects worth investing in your hometown." EMM, I mean, projects that can help in the development of the Naran Islands. When the time comes, we can put the name of export for that project, and the benefits in all aspects will be a little more. ”

If it is really in the name of exporting foreign exchange, it is not only political. The government will give more preferential policies. Cao Aiguo and Lin Jinzhi, who are in charge of managing specific affairs, will also be transformed into a master who can make friends with foreigners in the eyes of others.

That's right, it's a master. It has nothing to do with whether or not he admires foreigners, he has lived in the countryside since he was a child, and the villagers have only seen foreigners on TV, and if there is a neighbor who can make friends with foreigners, then, just because of the novelty, this person will definitely be regarded as a special person by other villagers.

"Is it possible to list a project in the name of export? Ah~, I thought about it. As soon as he started to think about it, he suddenly encountered a flash of inspiration, and a big smile appeared on Lin Zhicheng's face unconsciously.

"Really?" Unexpectedly, Lin Zhicheng was so quick to think at this time, Catherine was a little surprised.

"Hmm~." Nodding vigorously, Lin Zhicheng said his thoughts: "In my hometown, there are several things that can be regarded as specialties, most of which are food, but there is also a plan that is very suitable for us. ”

"What's that?"

"Stone. I mean, marble. Lin Zhicheng's face flashed with memories: "I remember very clearly, when I was young, there were several small stone processing workshops on the edge of our village alone. As long as it's okay, we go to play where the stones are stacked, and just like children climb up and down the shelves in a playground, we always climb up and down the rocks. It's even more fun when it's summer, because you can always find big crickets in the crevices of the stone piles, especially in the crevices close to the ground, hehe, because I ran with my cousin to catch crickets, and I was beaten several times. ”

"Marble?" Catherine is not distracted, she is seriously considering the feasibility of using stone as the protagonist to carry out the plan: "The cut panels can be used to lay floors and walls, the strips of stone can be used to build various buildings, and they can be carved into stone statues to be used as ...... decorations in the courtyard." ”

Marble has many uses and is probably one of the most versatile materials in the construction industry.

At this time, it happened that the Naran Islands were undergoing major development. In the course of the implementation of the 'Las Vegas Project', new casinos and hotels will be built, and a large amount of marble will inevitably be used in the construction of these buildings.

supply and demand, easy to establish.

Next, there are two last factors to consider.

One is the quality of the stones produced by Lin Zhicheng's hometown, and the other is the cost of mining and transporting them.

As long as there are no problems on these two points, then everything is OK.
