After a night of sailing, the giant ship had crossed the Bohai Bay.
When the morning sun rose, with a few whistles, the huge ship slowly sailed into the estuary port.
The mobile phone finally had a signal. Zhang Jiaqiang lay in bed and couldn't wait to dial Cai Yuanxing, the commander-in-chief in charge of the construction of the magic city.
"Mr. Zhang, you finally called!"
Zhang Jiaqiang frowned and said, "What exactly happened? Please tell me in detail!"
After a while, Zhang Jiaqiang realized that it turned out that it was not Chu Xiangbei who went back on his word, but a new document issued by the superiors, requiring all investments to protect the environment and carry out infrastructure projects within a time limit, otherwise they would be fined in proportion.
This is simply an unforeseen disaster, Zhang Jiaqiang asked patiently.
"You applied for 200 million, and you do have the money, but there are other arrangements. I can only give you 100 million!"
Cai Yuanxing changed from his usual cowardice and said in an anxious tone, "Boss, originally 200 million was too tight, but now we only give 100 million. I'm afraid I won't be able to finish half of this project before I have to work hard!"
Zhang Jiaqiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll give you 100 million first, and you hurry up and start infrastructure construction first. I will solve the rest for you soon!"
It is true that he now has 500 million in funds, but Zhang Jiaqiang has just granted 50 million to Longcheng, and Luonan has kept another 30 million, and also promised Yinzhou Lao Zhou to donate to orphanages and nursing homes.
After all, there was only 400 million left, and most of these funds were now on the ship. He planned to bring it to the screw country for great use.
Therefore, at most the country can collect 100 million for the Magic City to use first.
As for the remaining funding gap, Zhang Jiaqiang thought of the beer brewer who was super capable of deceiving—Mok Wenqi!
Immediately, he gave Cai Yuanxing his phone number and asked them to contact him immediately to see if there was any whereabouts of the loan he had made.
If he makes no achievements, then Zhang Jiaqiang can only handle remittances to Shanghai from here.
Of course this will definitely disrupt his plan.
The ship had docked, and Zhang Jiaqiang saw that there were many people on the shore to greet him. Among the crowd, he saw a fat middle-aged man, who was Mr. Zhao of Jinhai Fishery Company.
Zhang Jiaqiang opened his arms on the spiral staircase, "Ha, Mr. Zhao, you came to greet me in person. I'm really flattered!"
Zhao's headquarters is not here, but when he heard that Zhang Jiaqiang was coming, he rushed to Hekou Port half a day in advance and almost overnight, just to gain more popularity.
"Brother Zhang, if I knew you were coming, I would have to come over even if I was far away!"
Zhang Jiaqiang felt that this guy was interesting enough and couldn't bear to let him come here in vain. After the two hugged him, he didn't rush to get in the car but said.
"I met a group of large yellow croakers on the road. The brothers cast a few nets for a celebration and the harvest was quite good. If Brother Zhao is interested, I will give you dozens of tons!"
When he heard about the rare fish such as the giant yellow croaker, Mr. Zhao almost burst into laughter and held Zhang Jiaqiang's hand and said eagerly.
"Brother, hurry up and show me the goods. If it makes sense, I'll take all of them. You're giving me timely help. It's almost eleven and seafood is very scarce!"
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't plan to go into the cold storage again, so he called a bearded man over and asked him to take Lao Zhao to see the goods.
Lao Zhao and his assistant boarded the ship excitedly.
While waiting for others, Jiang Xinxin and Pu Zhenhuai also walked down the spiral staircase carrying their small suitcases.
It’s just that Jiang Xinxin staggered and couldn’t move her legs when walking. When she saw Zhang Jiaqiang, she gave him a hard look and muttered, “You stinking scoundrel!”
The girl almost sprained her foot again when she was distracted. Zhang Jiaqiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her and whispered.
"Don't blame me, you found it yourself, now you know how powerful it is!"
Jiang Xinxin rolled her eyes and said arrogantly, "Bah, who is afraid of who? If you have the ability, come back at night!"
Zhang Jiaqiang was never used to such a tough talk, so he said with a wicked smile - See you there or not!
Jiang Xinxin blushed and quickened her pace with her heart beating, and ran away as if running away.
Pu Zhenhuai saw this scene and snorted coldly, "You didn't even help me unpack my luggage, and you boasted that you would take care of me!"
Zhang Jiaqiang shook his head helplessly and reached out to take the small suitcase, which weighed less than five kilograms. "Sister Pu, as long as you stop listening to me, I will be happy to help you!"
Pu Zhenhuai's pretty face turned red, and she suddenly snatched the box, "Bah, who heard that the windows were broken? It's you who screamed like slaughtering pigs, disturbing others' rest..."
A good man doesn't fight with women, so Zhang Jiaqiang ignored this sister.
After a while, Lao Zhao walked out of the cold storage carrying several plump large yellow croakers with excitement on his face.
"Brother, these are top quality. What if I want them all? I'll give you eight and a half yuan per catty!"
The best quality shrimps these days are only three yuan a pound, so the price for large yellow croaker is not low.
I made a small two million along the way, and it was like picking up the money for nothing.
Zhang Jiaqiang was happy and immediately smiled and said, "Okay, the total of less than a hundred tons on the two ships is yours!"
Lao Zhao was overjoyed and took Zhang Jiaqiang's hand and said, "Brother, you are really my God of Wealth. I have invited a few friends to accompany you at noon today. Let's have a good drink!"
Zhang Jiaqiang is here just to transfer trains and won't stay too long, but he still has to attend the business entertainment. He is planning to meet a few more generous friends.
Lao Zhao has already booked a berth for them tonight, and plans to take them around the local area for sightseeing during the day.
As the name Hekou Port implies, the entire city's economy basically develops around this deep-water port, and almost all industries in the city are linked to port and shipping services.
It can be said that a port feeds the entire city.
The urban area is lackluster and residents' life seems a bit backward, but the entertainment industry is very developed.
Along the way, we saw dozens of nightclubs and hotels. It felt like it was comparable to the Dragon City in the past.
Zhang Jiaqiang also understands this kind of abnormal development. Other industries cannot develop, so the economy has to rely on the high consumption of visiting merchants.
After walking around all morning, the convoy drove into a luxuriously decorated hotel during meal time.
Although the floors of this hotel are not high, it covers a large area and gives people a very shocking feeling.
Mr. Zhao introduced, "Brother, this is the highest grade in the local area, and it's just average. If you're not satisfied, let's go to the provincial capital next time and have fun!"
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't care about this. He said a few polite words and followed Lao Zhao upstairs to the luxurious room he had reserved in advance.
There were no guests in the room at this moment, so Lao Zhao asked Zhang Jiaqiang to be the guest of honor. Jiang Xinxin and Pu Zhenhuai sat next to him, and finally the Tiezhu brothers who came to hold off the wine.
The other bodyguards and entourage opened another table in the next room.
Not long after they sat down, several guests arrived one after another.
Every time Mr. Zhao comes, he is responsible for introducing Zhang Jiaqiang.
"This is Mr. Wang from the Port Company!"
"This is Mr. Liu from the fishing company..."
Soon the large round table was almost full of people, but Lao Zhao hadn't asked the waiter to start taking the dishes, so it seemed that there was one more important guest missing.
Everyone chatted with each other and drank tea. After waiting for half an hour, just when Zhang Jiaqiang was getting impatient, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked into the room.
Lao Zhao stood up in a hurry and said with a smile on his face, "Director Xie, haha, I thought you didn't like this little table and wouldn't show up!"
Director Xie nodded arrogantly and exchanged greetings with Old Zhao, then glanced at the guests on the table with disdain.
Suddenly, as if his soul was attracted, he stared at Jiang Xinxin endlessly.
