Lin Yao noticed that Hao Lunli's breathing had become a little heavy, and he held back the words that were about to come out. He thought to himself, "Are these good images and reputations really that useful? They're not as good as the United States, which doesn't have a very good image, yet it still rampages through the international community without any obstacles."
In recent years, China has massively purchased US Treasury bonds, helping the US weather a severe economic crisis. But as soon as the US economy began to recover, didn't they turn their backs on China? Even if China is the largest creditor of the US, does that mean the US will ever be subservient to them? Self-interest always comes first!
Later, how much benefit did China gain from helping the bankrupt Greek government through its crisis? Those Greek civil servants and ordinary citizens living under what is considered one of the poorest governments in the world still enjoy welfare benefits unimaginable to ordinary Chinese people, leading luxurious lives. But what has China given back to its benefactors when these countries, aided with Chinese money, have? Aside from becoming debtors and paying due interest, they've received nothing!
Image?
Image is worthless!
Lin Yao thought to himself, he only cared about his own countrymen, and had nothing to do with people from other countries. He also had no intention of adding to his already overwhelming responsibilities. He was too busy with his own country's affairs to care about anything else. International affairs? Let whoever wants to play this game play it!
"I'm sorry, Secretary Hao."
Lin Yao got up, and the little Guli he was holding was still sleeping soundly. He didn't even wake up when Lin Yao bowed slightly to apologize. His drool was dripping onto Lin Yao's shoulder. "Minhong is just a small private enterprise. We already have a lot of members in China. We don't have the ability to export, nor do we want to."
Seeing Hao Lunli's expression change, Lin Yao continued, "By the way, I think these countries are targeting this acute human influenza outbreak, right? Didn't 'Jiu Ren Pharmaceutical' already develop and produce an effective drug? Let's export it through them. They are a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, so exporting is more convenient for them. Min Hong won't get involved in this."
"But their prices are too high." Hao Lunli finally pointed out Minhong's advantages, making Lin Yao both laugh and cry.
“Secretary Hao, Minhong’s products are also expensive. They are only cheaper for members. For example, the newly released ‘Anti-toxic Powder’ is not sold to non-members. If we were to sell it, we would be pricing it at 1,000 yuan per box, or even more.”
Before Lin Yao could finish speaking, Hao Lunli's expression became extremely complex. "We can't keep losing money, can we? That doesn't align with the company's principles."
“Lin Yao…” Hao Lunli felt that it wasn’t a good thing that he was the only one in the entire State Council Secretariat who was most familiar with Lin Yao. “Some countries have a lot of affection for our country. For example…”
"Yaoyao, tell them we'll help Pakistan."
Xiao Cao suddenly interrupted, speaking very quickly, prompting Lin Yao to instinctively blurt out, "Oh, then let's export to Pakistan, with a limited, symbolic quantity."
Xiao Cao's reminder immediately brought to mind the feelings of the Pakistani people towards China. In that country, Chinese people were the most grateful and valued. Only Chinese people enjoyed exemptions from access to classified military bases, and even Western journalists who entered without permission would be severely punished.
What is most touching is that a few years ago, during the Wenchuan earthquake, Pakistan donated all of its war reserve tents to support the disaster area. Lin Yao should be grateful for this alone, and on behalf of his compatriots, he should be grateful. Establishing a trade route is a way of repaying this favor.
Of course, no matter how well foreign governments and people treat and value China and the Chinese people, their top priority is still their own compatriots, those who have become members of the Democratic Red Army in this country. As for those who cannot or are afraid to become members of the Democratic Red Army because of its obscurity and secrecy, Lin Yao treats them directly as foreigners, just like the British, French, or even Japanese.
"..."
Hao Lunli remained silent. He was meticulous in his work and noticed a neglected report in the think tank that stated Lin Yao and Min Hong were pure nationalists, and the kind of people who were extremely stubborn. Because of their abilities and personal strength, it would be difficult to find a balance in dealing with this family.
A sigh, only a sigh, there is no other way.
"Okay, the Pakistani embassy will send someone to contact you as soon as possible. We can talk about other things later."
Hao Lunli stood up to say goodbye, glanced at Lin Yao for five seconds with a complicated expression, and then suddenly started walking quickly towards the hall door.
"This isn't our fault. What do ordinary people care about international reputation? We can't sacrifice our own interests for these empty titles..."
The little grass murmured, and Lin Yao felt a pang of sympathy.

"Recently, there has been a surge in applications for membership at public health clinics and physical pharmacies across the country. The average number of applicants over the past seven days has reached 21,210,877, the vast majority of whom are influenza patients. Their limited mobility is severely impacting our work in various locations..."
Seeing that the guests had left, Yi Zuojun, with Lin Yao expressionless, quickly took a moment to come over and report the information.
Lin Yao didn't have time to make phone calls or search for information online himself. This work was handled by Min Hong and a specialist from "Smart Information," who collected and compiled the information and then sent it to Beijing. Yi Zuojun then filtered the information again, selecting the important parts and those that Lin Yao would be interested in, and printed them out. He then read them to Lin Yao whenever he had a spare moment, like reading a newspaper to a blind and lonely old man.
Xiao Cao has been very busy lately. The specially set-up **laboratory** in the villa requires her close attention, leaving her no time to gather information. The "poisonous people" are extremely special; if an experiment isn't controlled properly and triggers an outbreak, it could harm valuable experts and scholars. Therefore, every time Lin Yao leaves, he insists on forcibly stopping the **experiments**, which has caused dissatisfaction among the experts. Little do they know that their research has been conducted safely only under the protection of Lin Yao and Xiao Cao, and that the experts' unrestrained research schedules have left Xiao Cao without rest for a long time.
"Um... ah!" Lin Yao had clearly been distracted again, looking at Yi Zuojun with embarrassment. "What did you just say? I'm sorry."
Yi Zuojun smiled, and without any formalities, simply repeated what he had already reported. He had been paying attention to Lin Yao's expression and felt that Lin Yao might have lost focus from a certain point onwards, so he started from that point again. "A phenomenon has caught the attention of the security team: the number of people applying for membership using fake IDs has increased dramatically recently. This week alone, there were more than 23,000 people, totaling 1.35 million. The security team has discovered online stores selling second-generation fake IDs on websites such as Taobao, and they are also starting to appear in major cities..."
"Second-generation ID cards can be faked?!" Lin Yao's eyes widened in surprise.
"Of course, it's just that a chip is placed in the ID card, which records personal information and a photo. Since there's no need for online verification, it's certainly possible to forge it." Yi Zuojun clearly knew about these things and explained it very naturally.
"Oh, that's true. Luckily, we have a population information database."
At this point, Lin Yao laughed. Min Hong's core database contained a copy of the national population database obtained from the GA department. Not only was the data and information complete, but even the photos were all intact. This was all thanks to Gou Xiaogou, the number one hacker in China. Just by looking at the hardware that Min Hong specially maintained and added, one could tell how difficult it was to obtain such a massive database.
Identity verification is not conducted at Minhong's branches across the country. Instead, it takes place in a back-end verification center, which is handled manually. Of course, these employees can only see two photos for comparison and do not know where the photos came from or who the members are. Only after verification is completed will Minhong's local temporary database system record the member's information so that network failures do not significantly impact operations.
"Publish the identities of those who made fake documents online, let the local security team handle the prosecution, and let the law firm cooperate. If it is not suitable for the Minhong to prosecute, urge the public prosecution. Our people will be responsible for following up, and the progress will be published online. Some institutions are most afraid of media publicity, so I think the work efficiency will be much higher."
Lin Yao casually offered his opinion: Minhong's work in various places is now going much more smoothly. The huge organizational structure and complex project management have been streamlined. Once an order is issued, there will naturally be corresponding departments and people in charge. Then, the work content is broken down layer by layer, and the progress is transmitted and implemented through the internal office system. As long as such a small matter is approved, it will be resolved very well immediately.
"Yes, sir." Yi Zuojun nodded in agreement. He quickly made a simple note on the printed paper, "In major cities where Minhong has canceled hospitals and clinics, there are varying degrees of gatherings of members and non-members, and there have even been demonstrations. Those outlets that are temporarily set up as the simplest clinics are also unable to operate due to the large number of non-members gathering. Minhong's decision-making team's opinion is to reopen the original hospitals and clinics in various places, because the current situation makes it impossible to work."
