Chapter 203 Inspecting the Construction Progress of the New Factory in the Mainland
When Lin Zhou left, he handed over all the work on the museum project in Beijing to Liu Yaolong.
His work ability is quite good, and after more than twenty days of contact, Lin Zhou also highly recognizes his abilities.
The plane landed smoothly on the runway of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport, taxied slowly to a stop, and the fuselage shook slightly.
As the flight attendant's gentle announcement rang out, Lin Zhou slowly opened his eyes and loosened the tie around his neck.
The flight back from Beijing wasn't short, but he barely rested, his mind constantly preoccupied with the connection between industries on the mainland and in Hong Kong.
With the reform and opening-up policy in full swing, one step behind means falling behind in every step, so he dares not slack off in the slightest.
The cabin door opened, and a group of people disembarked one by one.
Early autumn in Guangdong still brings a humid and hot wind, with the air filled with a mixture of moisture and the scent of rice, a stark contrast to the dry and crisp air of Beijing.
As soon as Lin Zhou exited the gate, he saw a crowd of people waiting not far away, and some people holding up signs with their names on them.
Lin Zhou turned around, reached out and patted his son's head, then looked at Su Wanqing, his gaze softening: "Are you tired from the journey today?"
"I'm not tired. Let's go over there quickly. There are people coming to pick us up over there," Su Wanqing said with a soft smile.
As soon as Su Wanqing finished speaking, the sound of neat and powerful footsteps came from behind her.
Zhao Jianjun, accompanied by five tall, solemn-looking men, quickly followed. All six were dressed in black suits, stood ramrod straight, and had sharp eyes. They silently protected Lin Zhou's family in the middle.
They are all Zhao Jianjun's comrades-in-arms who fought alongside him through thick and thin. Each of them is highly skilled and meticulous, and they are now the core backbone of Zhonghua Security.
Lin Zhou returned to the mainland from Hong Kong this time with his family. In addition, several of them also wanted to go back to their hometown for a visit, so they came back together.
Lin Zhou is now preparing to check on the progress of the industrial park he invested in in Guangdong Province. Moreover, the Luohu construction site is crowded and noisy, so having Zhao Jianjun and the others accompany him will ensure the safety of his family.
"President Lin, their people have prepared the car." Zhao Jianjun walked to the exit and negotiated with the people who came to pick him up for a while, then came to Lin Zhou's side and reported in a low voice.
Lin Zhou nodded and quickly walked to the exit.
Chen Dongsheng, the project manager of Zhonghua Group responsible for the construction of the industrial park in Luohu, was already waiting at the exit with several people.
Upon seeing Lin Zhou approaching, he immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said:
"Mr. Lin! You've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for so long!"
Chen Dongsheng is a long-time employee of Zhonghua Real Estate. He joined the company when Lin Zhou founded Zhonghua Real Estate in Hong Kong, and then followed Zhou Jianming to work in mainland China.
Lin Zhou trusted Zhou Jianming, who was reliable and meticulous in his work and had a strong ability to execute tasks, so he entrusted him with such an important project as the Luohu Industrial Park.
"Thank you for your hard work." Lin Zhou's tone was calm, yet he exuded a convincing aura. "I've been in your shoes lately with the park's construction and the coordination with the government."
"Of course, of course. Don't worry, Mr. Lin, all construction projects are progressing according to plan without any delays."
Chen Dongsheng straightened his back even more, his face showing a hint of excitement at meeting the group's big boss.
"The car is right outside. I'll take you to the Luohu construction site now and give you a clear report on the infrastructure construction that the government promised."
Lin Zhou hummed in agreement, took Lin Xiaofeng's hand, and Su Wanqing gently took his arm. The family walked slowly toward the parking lot.
Several black sedans imported from Hong Kong were lined up in a row, their bodies gleaming, and the drivers were already standing beside them waiting.
Zhao Jianjun and the others quickly divided the tasks: two guarded the front of the car, two protected the sides of the car door, and two covered the rear. Their movements were fluid and skillful, clearly showing that they were well-trained.
Lin Zhou first helped Su Wanqing and her son into the car, then helped Su Guohua into the back seat before getting in himself. Chen Dongsheng sat in the passenger seat, leading the way.
The car slowly drove away from the airport.
Compared to a few years ago, the roadsides in Guangdong Province today feature many newly built buildings and factories, with numerous slogans promoting reform and opening up hanging along the way, creating a vibrant atmosphere of construction.
Looking out the window, Su Guohua couldn't help but sigh, "The changes are too fast. The country has only just decided to reform, and this place is like a completely different place."
"This is the speed of infrastructure construction in China." Lin Zhou looked out the window, his tone calm but confident, after all, he had seen the real speed of China in his later years.
"In the past, the mainland lacked funds, technology, and channels. Now that the door is open, external resources are pouring in and internal vitality is being released. In just a few years, this place will become the most dynamic place in the country."
Su Guohua nodded in deep agreement: "You've always had a vision that's farther than others. Back then, no one could have imagined that you could grow your business to such a large size, let alone that you would shift your focus back to the mainland. Now it seems that you've been ahead of the curve every step of the way."
Lin Zhou smiled but didn't say anything more.
Having the memories of an extra lifetime compared to others, he naturally knew the astonishing energy that this land would unleash in the future.
What he is doing now is simply going with the flow, taking advantage of the times to build a career, and doing his part for his roots.
The car headed south, towards Luohu.
The closer you get to Luohu, the stronger the construction atmosphere becomes. There are construction sites everywhere, tower cranes stand tall, trucks shuttle back and forth, dust flies everywhere, and the roar of crushers is incessant.
What was once a remote border area has now become a huge construction site.
Chen Dongsheng pointed out the window and introduced each item one by one:
"President Lin, look, that large area in front is the planned land for our Zhonghua Group's Luohu Industrial Park. The total area is 20% larger than what we initially agreed on. The government is being exceptionally generous, wanting us to set a benchmark."
Lin Zhou looked in the direction he pointed and saw a vast expanse of flat land stretching as far as the eye could see. A wall had been erected around the edge, with the flag of Zhonghua Group flying around it.
"How's the foundation going?" Lin Zhou asked.
"The foundation work for other batches has already started in full swing, and the foundation for the first batch of factory buildings has also been completed in accordance with the construction requirements."
"Moreover, the main structure of the first three main factory buildings we built has been completed. As per your requirements, they all use high-standard load-bearing steel structures, which will be more than enough even if a fully automated production line is installed in the future."
Chen Dongsheng quickly replied:
"The construction team was carefully selected by us. They are keeping a tight grip on the schedule, and I have also assigned professionals to oversee the quality. We dare not be careless in the slightest."
Lin Zhou nodded in strong agreement and said:
"That's right. Our group's future factory buildings have extremely high requirements for the ground, moisture-proofing, and anti-static properties. We can't skimp on any of these details."
"Understood. I will keep an eye on the construction site every day from now on, and I will rectify any problems immediately."
The car drove into the park and slowly came to a stop.
Lin Zhou and his group got out of the car, and Chen Dongsheng handed them several safety helmets: "President Lin, Mr. Su, President Su, and you all, please put on your helmets. It's not safe on the construction site, so please be careful."
Zhao Jianjun and the others immediately stepped forward and carefully helped Lin Zhou and Su Guohua put on their helmets. They also protected Su Wanqing and Lin Xiaofeng, staying close by their side.
It was Lin Xiaofeng's first time visiting such a large construction site. He opened his eyes wide with curiosity, his little face full of excitement, but he also obediently held Su Wanqing's hand and didn't run around.
