Chapter 183 'Freedom'
Lin Jingzhe listened to the loud noise coming from the phone and immediately spat out a mouthful of water. He hurriedly asked worriedly, "Brother, are you okay? Is anything damaged?"
"No, no." Lin Xingzhi said quickly after hearing this, "The water was spit onto the ground. There were no casualties."
Lin Jingzhe's bright eyes flickered as she spoke, "I'm being vulgar! Isn't a butt a butt? Aren't we the world's factory? We don't produce cheap shirts, pants, and socks..." She pursed her lips and said, "Doesn't the IMF say every day that we are the engine of the world economy, the engine?"
"It's just for fun. Honestly, I didn't take it too seriously. I thought he was flattering us, but I didn't think he had any good intentions. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. He's asking us to shoulder more responsibility." Lin Xingzhi said with disgust, "He's really mean! I remember during the Southeast Asian financial crisis, when those countries asked the International Monetary Fund for loans, the conditions were so harsh and the manners were so ugly. It was disgusting. He was calculating against people's core assets and most profitable resources." He snorted coldly, "It doesn't make me feel good about him."
"Hehe...its data shouldn't contain too much false information." Lin Jingzhe chuckled and shook his head when he heard this.
"Are they so weak?" Lin Xingzhi said in disbelief, "They can't even make the simplest daily necessities."
"They're not called the world's factory for nothing. They can't even produce snakeskin bags." Lin Jingzhe raised his eyebrows slightly. "Just check the foreign trade data and you'll see. They mostly export agricultural products and mineral resources. We mostly export industrial products, such as clothing, shoes and hats!"
"I'll check it out later." Lin Xingzhi said seriously, frowning, "When will this end?"
"Aren't you watching the US stock market?" Lin Jingzhe said with a glint in his eyes, "Focus on those stocks!"
"Pay attention to Lehman Brothers. This stock is very active. They have held several press conferences. They have been issuing announcements saying that their company is fine and they are very confident. But the stock price still plummeted as if it had taken laxatives." Lin Xingzhi stared at the computer screen.
Lehman Brothers! Lin Jingzhe heard this and his dark eyes gleamed with a glint as he said, "Check his sales records to see when the senior executives sold their shares."
"Nannan, what did you say?" Lin Xingzhi's jaw almost dropped in shock. "How is this possible?"
"How is this possible? You thought the king died for the country? He died with the company!" Lin Jingzhe's dark brown eyes flickered. "Don't forget they're capitalists, they're scamming the people's money. They shipped the goods early, so no one suffered any loss. They take down one company, put on a suit, and go to another. That's how the upper echelons of finance move around."
"How can this be? Dynasties come and go, but clans remain forever!" Lin Xingzhi said in surprise.
"That's the benefit of having a long history; we can always find parallels," Lin Jingzhe said with a pair of rosy eyes. "Thanks to our charming ancestors who loved to record history."
"What is the basis for your judgment?" Lin Xingzhi asked curiously.
"Human nature!" Lin Jingzhe said with a smile, his eyes twinkling. "Whether in the East or the West, human nature remains unchanged."
"Alright! I'll keep my eye on Lehman Brothers." Lin Xingzhi took a sip of warm water from his coffee cup. "If I do that, I'll be scolded to death."
"No, no, no! This is called freedom." Lin Jingzhe said sarcastically, "Market freedom."
Lin Xingzhi pursed his lips and said, "And you still claim that? Our salary is only one dollar. Forget about the stocks they hold. Every time they drive up the stock price, it's just to sell it."
"Right or not? If you follow the U.S. stock market, you will know if you check it out." Lin Jingzhe said with the morning light in his eyes.
"I won't disturb your training." Lin Xingzhi said with an embarrassed smile, "If you have anything, we can contact each other by phone."
"I haven't trained much! The closing ceremony of the Olympics is today, and we're still in the Olympic Village!" Lin Jingzhe said with a smile in her peach blossom eyes, "I'm having a lot of fun here."
"It's time to have some fun. Our Olympic Village is well-built, with everything for entertainment and leisure." Lin Xingzhi said with a smile in his eyes. "It's much more honest than some countries."
"This represents the image of the country, so of course it's the best." Lin Jingzhe said with eyes as beautiful as winter snow.
"Now that the Olympics are over, shouldn't you start intensive training again?" Lin Xingzhi asked with concern.
"There is a lot of work to do next, and the training is only in physical fitness. It is unlikely that you will be able to go into the water." Lin Jingzhe said with a gentle look.
"Pa..." Lin Xingzhi slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot you guys have a commendation meeting and endorsements and stuff?"
"I took on a variety show." Lin Jingzhe said embarrassedly when he heard it.
"Variety show? What variety show? Those funny variety shows on Mango TV?" Lin Xingzhi said with a frown.
"Sports games, level-breaking games, if you're not careful you might fall into the water." Lin Jingzhe said with his crystal clear eyes flashing with the morning light.
"Ah!" Lin Xingzhi looked incredulous.
"Are you surprised? You didn't say anything, you were scared." A faint laugh escaped Lin Jingzhe's lips.
"No, what if you can't win and fall into the water?" Lin Xingzhi sat up straight and said worriedly.
"That's normal! It's not my strong point. I fell into the water, so I just let everyone have fun!" Lin Jingzhe said with a smile in his bright eyes, "The most important thing is exercise."
"Haha..." Lin Xingzhi was stunned when he heard that, then he laughed, "You're right." He smiled and said, "Please tell me when it airs! I must watch it."
"Okay." Lin Jingzhe responded readily, "Let's stop talking. Hurry up and eat something and get some sleep."
"Yeah! Bye." Lin Xingzhi said with a smile after hearing that.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I am the flag bearer at today's closing ceremony." Lin Jingzhe said embarrassedly.
"Oh! Oh!" Lin Xingzhi stood up and walked around excitedly.
"Why are you so excited?" Lin Jingzhe said with her peach blossom eyes curved.
"Don't tell me you don't know what a great honor this is! You're a flagship figure!" Lin Xingzhi's eyes were so gentle that water could drip out of them.
"Remember to watch it." Lin Jingzhe said in a gentle tone.
"Of course, of course." Lin Xingzhi said solemnly.
"Okay, let's go eat quickly." Lin Jingzhe urged him.
"Okay!" Lin Xingzhi hung up the phone.
Lin Jingzhe hung up the phone after hearing the beep.

Lin Xingzhi got up and took a quick shower in the bathroom, then went out to buy breakfast.
The company was just starting out and some of the facilities were not available, such as a cafeteria.
This industrial park is well-equipped and has everything you need.
Very convenient.
