104: Who are you waiting for?

The working hours in the cold storage area generally start around two in the morning, because merchants from all walks of life also have to rush to the morning market.

And now it's already nine o'clock in the morning, the cold storage has long been off work at this point, the surroundings are quiet, only the sound of ventilation equipment keeps buzzing.

Therefore, this sudden sound startled Lin Jia Miss, she turned around abruptly, only to see a slightly thin man standing quietly not far away.

The man had a very professional smile on his face, which could even be described as gentle and refined, but his eyes, which were like seeing prey, made people feel chills all over.

Lin Jia was secretly startled, she said slightly angrily: "Who are you?"

The man looked at Lin Jia at his leisure, a knowing smile appeared on his face, and he said lightly: "I am Wang Lin."

"Wang Lin?" Lin Jia was slightly startled, she looked at the other party in surprise, "Kelly Investment's second son?"

"Yes." The smile on Wang Lin's face became even wider, he made a gesture with his hand: "Lin Jia Miss, are you interested in going to the side to have tea and chat together?"

"I can't ask for anything better than to have tea with Kelly Investment's second son." Lin Jia smiled like a flower, she took out her phone, "But I made an appointment with a friend to go shopping together, I'll tell her I'll be late."

Wang Lin looked at Lin Jia's actions with a smile, without any intention of stopping her. It wasn't until Lin Jia frowned and put her phone back into her pocket that he spoke leisurely: "No signal, right?"

Without waiting for Lin Jia to answer, he had already walked towards the side of the cold storage on his own, where there were a few tables, which were probably used by the cold storage workers to rest during their work intervals.

"This place is one of the civil defense facilities built by the government in the last century. At that time, everyone felt that a nuclear war was about to break out, so this air-raid shelter was built for the purpose of defending against nuclear explosions. Steel plates were sandwiched in the concrete."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation: "Of course, no one knows if it can defend against nuclear explosions, but at least, it is true that cell phones have no signal here."

"With such advanced technology now," Lin Jia also smiled, she walked calmly towards the table Wang Lin pointed to, "Can't it solve a signal shielding problem?"

"Of course it can be solved," Wang Lin thoughtfully pulled out a chair for Lin Jia, "You just need a telecom signal relay equipment, there was originally one here."

"It's just that I turned it off just now." He said lightly.

"It seems that Wang Lin is really serious about this opportunity to be alone with me." Lin Jia smiled sweetly, it sounded ambiguous, but Wang Lin obviously heard the profound meaning in her words.

He showed a hint of appreciation on his face without any concealment: "Lin Jia Miss, you are really a smart person, I like dealing with smart people very much."

"I'm not as smart as I thought." Lin Jia shook her head slightly, her nose twitched slightly.

Such a subtle movement was also seen by Wang Lin, he said calmly: "Smelled it?"

"Yes," Lin Jia replied frankly, "The smell of a beast."

"Haha..." Facing Lin Jia's double-edged words, Wang Lin laughed heartily.

After laughing for five full seconds, he calmed down and said lightly: "To be precise, it's the smell of a fox."

"You know how your Tiancheng company's cosmetics, high-end perfumes, and other products are made?" He suddenly turned to Lin Jia's profession.

"I'm not very clear, I only know that fox oil is added to high-end products." Lin Jia shrugged.

"Lin Jia Miss, you are not only smart, but also have very high emotional intelligence, talking to you is a real pleasure."

Wang Lin's face was full of sincere appreciation: "Yes, I just learned a little about the production of fox oil."

"The best fox products in the world are produced in Finland, where a kind of Arctic fox is produced. The fur of this Arctic fox is dense, snow-white in color, with fine undercoat and soft texture."

"Based on this Arctic fox, the locals have cultivated a super-large Arctic fox with a body length of up to ninety centimeters through years of breeding, and have carried out large-scale farming."

He continued with great interest: "They select the Arctic foxes with the largest body size and best fur quality as breeding foxes and let them reproduce offspring. A litter of Arctic foxes can produce 9 to 20 pups, with an average of about 13. These Arctic fox pups are raised in cages from birth, and the locals fatten them up through various means."

"The fattening period is only five months, and within five months, the Arctic fox pups are actually still in their infancy, but their body size is already close to adulthood."

"At this time, it's time to slaughter them. Their skins are peeled off and made into fur, the large amount of fat produced by fattening is frozen into fox oil, the bones and internal organs are made into feed to feed new little Arctic foxes, and even their blood is made into medicine."

"The fox oil imported by your company comes from this," he looked at Lin Jia and took a deep breath, "What you smell is the smell of those little Arctic foxes that only lived for five months and every part of their bodies were made into commodities."

Lin Jia was silent.

She knew that the company's source of fox oil imports was indeed from Finland.

It's funny to say, there are also fox farms in China, but the procedures for Chinese fox farms are extremely troublesome, and slaughtering is also very risky, because the animal protection law is very strict, and if you are a little careless, you are likely to end up in prison.

On the contrary, those countries in Northern Europe, as the birthplace of animal protection organizations, and the areas that are most vehemently anti-fur, and are recognized as the most civilized and wealthy areas in the world, are able to supply more than 60% of the world's fox product consumption by themselves.

For these foxes that were fattened to adult size while still in their infancy, the only protection the local law provides for them is that they can only be slaughtered by electric shock, and in order not to damage the fox's fur, the needle for discharging electricity must be inserted from the anus.

And Europeans regard this as a manifestation of civilization, often condescendingly accusing other countries of being barbaric and uncivilized by killing them with hammers or knives.

Lin Jia didn't know what kind of brain circuit this was, maybe Europeans were all inserted with an electric fox needle into their heads and given an electric shock when they were born.

But this had nothing to do with Lin Jia, she was not a saint, what she cared about was that she could indeed smell a strong smell of fox oil, which meant that the several containers not far away were indeed shipped back with the company's raw materials.

"Are you accusing our company, and even me, of being cold-blooded animals?" She said calmly.

"No." Wang Lin shook his head, he suddenly stood up.

"I'm just proving to you that this is a world where the strong prey on the weak."

He looked down at Lin Jia: "The strong possess everything, the weak are kept in captivity by the strong, and the only purpose of keeping them in captivity is to fatten them up and then slaughter them, making full use of everything on them, including bone Slag, to raise the next generation of those kept in captivity."

"This is the true meaning of this world!"

"Did you realize this from fox farming?" Lin Jia frowned.

"No, I realized it from real estate." Wang Lin smiled.

Lin Jia nodded noncommittally, she naturally knew the history of Wang Jian's Kelly Investment, there was really nothing to say about it.

Moreover, Lin Jia has studied economics, and she also knows that the most profitable way in this world is to create supply gaps.

People have two basic needs to live, food and housing. So capitalists always start from these two aspects.

For places with low economic development, such as sub-Saharan Africa, there is never enough to eat. And for those with a certain level of economic development and a few small money in their pockets, there is never enough to live.

So grain prices are high in sub-Saharan Africa, and housing prices are high in our country.

Working for real estate developers for a lifetime while alive, and having to buy a cemetery from real estate developers after death.

"So it's a family tradition."

She frowned and continued: "But what do you mean by telling me this, Wang Lin?"

"My meaning is, the weak must have the awareness of the weak." Wang Lin said lightly, he unscrupulously looked at Lin Jia, "You are indeed, as you said yourself, not smart enough. Otherwise, you would understand that you are, in fact, the weak one."

He stared at Lin Jia: "You seem to have a wide network of contacts, and you are in a high position in the company. But in the eyes of the strong, you are still just a farmed fox."

"I never deny that I am indeed a weak person." Wang Lin's meaning was already very clear, Lin Jia understood Wang Lin's meaning without even thinking.

Her life and death were in the other party's hands, and the other party had no intention of letting her leave alive this time.

Moreover, Lin Jia knew that she would die silently, she calmly glanced at the processing equipment not far away.

This is the cold storage, and also the processing area for seafood and fish, complete with equipment for cutting fish meat and even crushing fish bones.

Being able to process a fish weighing over a hundred kilograms cleanly, processing Lin Jia, who only weighs 100 jin, is naturally easy.

She continued with a look of indifference: "I also don't object to being a fox that looks glamorous on the outside, being squeezed of all value by the so-called strong who truly make the rules."

"However, I am really curious."

She looked at Wang Lin searchingly: "Your identity is actually already in the class that makes the rules, after all, Kelly Investment has been the leading local real estate investment enterprise for many years, even if it looks like it is declining now, that is just a superficial phenomenon."

"Because the temporary bear market in real estate will not affect the value of the land controlled by Kelly Investment, nor will it affect the interest alliances that Kelly Investment has established over the years."

"You are just waiting for the leeks to grow again, or to use a metaphor you like, now is the short five-month growth period of those little fox pups."

"So what I'm curious about is, why are you involved in smuggling?"

She said with a smile: "I know that for smart people, it is extremely painful when their wisdom is misunderstood. Presumably, your heart is full of the desire to confide, and coincidentally, I am also full of curiosity."

Wang Lin burst into laughter, he looked at Lin Jia with admiration, and repeated for the Nth time: "You are really smart, and your emotional intelligence is so high that I admire you."

"I do want to find someone to confide in, especially when I have decided to be a good person from now on."

"But I don't believe that your curiosity is so strong, especially at this moment."

"So, let's make a deal," he looked at Lin Jia, "I'll tell you why I'm smuggling. And you tell me..."

"Who are you waiting for to save you?"
