Chapter 659: Construction of the Mandala Factory (Part One)
Lin Hu wanted to set an example for Lin Dong, so after he took over the family’s funds, he planned to start a business again and make it big. By then, he could get his brother to join him. In fact, after Lin Dong went with Xu Cheng, he was somewhat looking forward to him coming back defeated so he could make fun of him.
How could Lin Dong not know his brother’s prejudiced thoughts? He just didn’t care and laughed it off.
That was when his phone rang.
Lin Dong looked at his phone, and recognized that it was Ye Xiu’s number, which he had memorized before, so he picked up. “Hello, Uncle Ye.”
“You’ve arrived home to see your parents, right?”
“Yes, I have.” Lin Dong smiled.
“Well then, come over to the biggest business club in the city center and I’ll introduce you to a few people.”
“Okay, sorry to trouble you, Uncle Ye.”
Ye Xiu: “What trouble, this is something that Big Brother Cheng has arranged and we also have the shares. If I don’t do it myself then it doesn’t feel right to take the dividends. Hurry over.”
“Okay, I’ll come over now,” said Lin Dong as he hung up the phone.
“Mom, Dad, and Brother, my master’s brother came to S City and I have to go meet him for something urgent. I have to leave now and I’ll probably return in the evening depending on the situation.” Lin Dong wiped his mouth and stood up as he got ready to leave.
“You kid, you just came home and before the seat has even warmed up yet, you’re going out again. ” His mother rolled her eyes at him.
Lin Dong smiled and turned around to kiss his mother on the cheek. “Mom you’re the best.”
Only then did his mother smile like a flower and let go of Lin Dong.
“I’ll drop you off since you sold your old car already,” said Lin Hu.
Lin Dong nodded. They walked out and got into Lin Hu’s car.
That was when Lin Hu’s phone rang.
When he saw the number, he quickly picked up and said in an amiable tone, “Hello Bureau Director Liu, this is Lin Hu. Yes, what’s the matter? It can’t get approval? Why? They have to check all kinds of credentials? Please. It’s been two months already. Are you free? I’d like to have coffee with you and talk about this investment. So when would you be free? Hello? Hello?”
Lin Hu was a little depressed when he heard the disconnect tone from his phone.
Lin Dong looked at him and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing, not a big deal. I’ll drop you off first and deal with it later.” Lin Hu drove the car as he said to Lin Dong, “If your master’s not giving you any shares, then you might as well come home sooner or later. We can do business together.”
“Forget it. You’re the eldest son, so it’s only right for you to inherit the family business, I’d better find another job somewhere else,” said Lin Dong.
Lin Hu dropped him off at the top CEO business club in the city center according to the address Lin Dong gave. He knew the average cost of this club, so he took out a card from his bag and handed it to Lin Dong. “There’s 200K in the card, so you don’t embarrass yourself when you go in there. Take it.”
“Brother, it’s okay. I have a start-up fund from my master here.” Lin Dong returned the card and waved his hand at Lin Hu. “Go home, I’ll take a taxi when I’m done.”
Lin Hu didn’t push it further as he turned around and went to the city’s industrial and commercial bureau.
He went straight to the office of the person in charge of the High-Tech Development Zone project. He saw that Bureau Director Liu wasn’t there, so he asked the assistant.
“Hey, do you know where Bureau Director Liu is? I have something very urgent, I need to invest in a project and I want to talk to him.”
The assistant shook his head.
Lin Hu took out a gas card with a thousand-dollar limit from his wallet and placed it in front of his desk. “Please.”
The assistant looked up and said, “Bureau Director Liu went to discuss other investment projects.”

Lin Hu: “Do you know where he went?”
Assistant: “Looks like he went to that CEO business club.”
“Oh, thanks.” Lin Hu turned around and ran out in a hurry, and he quickly drove back to where the business club was.
He had a reason for being in a rush; Shangcheng was prepared to develop a high-tech area, and many investors had gone in advance to take a spot. He also wanted to join, and therefore he needed to pass the audit for the technical qualifications of the company in order to enter the market. Once he got in, anyone would be able to divide a piece of land for free, and once they started on that, even an inch of the land they owned would be worth its weight in gold. However, it had been several months since the review and they still hadn’t passed the audit; seeing that the spots were filling up, how could he not be in a rush?
In order to meet the qualifications for admission, he had invested tens of millions of yuan from his family’s fund into the company registration. He hired a lot of technologists and factories manufacturing semiconductor electrical appliances. Now that they had invested around seventy to eight million, they had to pass the audit and be admitted.
In fact, the spots were limited, and the audit was just an excuse because people used connections and the spots filled up quickly.
He had to meet with Bureau Director Liu who was the project manager, because all his investments would be wasted if the spots were filled up.
Lin Dong, who had gone a while ago, had followed the club’s manager and came directly to Room 888.
Ye Xiu was sitting inside with his legs crossed while smoking a cigarette, and there were a few middle-aged people sitting next to him, all chatting away.
“Little Dong is here, come over and sit down.” Ye Xiu called Lin Dong over and introduced him to a thick-browed middle-aged man. “Bureau Director Liu, this is the manager who established the Mandala Lab Huaxia Division in Shangcheng.”
Bureau Director Liu stood up and shook hands with Lin Dong. “Oh, the Mandala Lab is very famous, I didn’t think Mr. Lin would be willing to settle down here in Shangcheng. That’s great. As long as the product is excellent, we will give you the greenlight all the way.”
“We’ll have to trouble Bureau Director Liu in the future then.”
“No trouble, no trouble. We will take care of each other in the future, Shangcheng is behind on medicine compared to Yanjing. I believe the secretary will surely welcome the Mandala Lab’s entry into Shangcheng. Mr. Lin, don’t worry about the policies, we are very determined to get the Mandala Lab into the project and we will divide a piece of land for the Mandala Lab to build a factory. All the procedures and business licenses will be approved immediately after you guys provide some information.”
He then looked at Ye Xiu and smiled. “Young Master Ye, you didn’t have to. You didn’t have to come here personally to arrange this kind of meeting, you could’ve just told us over the phone.”
Ye Xiu smiled.
He had to come today because he had to let those local pharmaceutical factories know who was behind the construction of the Mandala Factory, so it would prevent them from malpractice in business. With him stepping up, it probably solved a lot of trouble before they could even form.
With Ye Xiu stepping up, various troublesome procedures with the registration would be resolved in the most efficient way.
Lin Dong had brought the information and he handed it over to Bureau Director Liu. All they had to do was to wait for the certificate once it was logged into the system.
Meanwhile, in the public lobby of the club, Lin Hu was sitting on the sofa with his eyes staring at the elevators; he was waiting for Bureau Director Liu to come out, so he could find a way to be admitted even if he had to beg for it.
