What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 312 Super Deception
Tang Wen chose to trust Commissioner Geng and left the others behind to help.

Of course, it's true that he had important matters that required his time.

The crude oil samples were sent to the domestic petroleum department, but the department did not believe them.

To be precise, several experts involved in the testing did not believe it, considering it seriously untrue.

Tang Wen immediately invited them to conduct an on-site inspection, and now an oil exploration vessel is waiting in Quanzhou to pick them up.

Meanwhile, Levi told him that the petroleum geology experts McDonnell Douglas had also taken off and would arrive soon.

This is the most important part of the entire plan.

He only spent a little over a day in Shanghai before boarding a plane again.

……

Gongzhen Port.

To save time, Tang Wen immediately switched to a seaplane, arriving at 3 a.m.

I thought the port would be quiet at this time, but it looked dazzling from the sky.

"Rest? We don't get rest, we work in three shifts!"

The roar of the construction machinery made it difficult to hear each other, but Tang Wen could still clearly feel the passion on Ge Xuan's face.

Now, clusters of tents and prefabricated houses have been erected on the open space of the port, and there are open kitchens along the seaside, where people are always cooking.

With ample funding, the two construction companies hired several times more workers to operate 24/7, with machines running non-stop.

Because there were no high-rise buildings, the safety risks were not high, and there were no ridiculous construction blueprints, so they just started working.

Within an area less than the size of a football field that can be seen with the naked eye, there are four excavators operating simultaneously.

Six dredgers are still filling sand on the outer perimeter, while the construction team begins work in the central area.

Tang Wen's cruiser and two destroyers are operating at full speed, continuously bringing building materials and supplies as high-speed transport vessels.

As per his request, the area under construction is now being built to industrial land standards, and large, flat areas have already been expanded.

Because the steel reinforcement was supplied by Gaijin, and there were few channels to sell it on the island, the designers from both construction companies opted for brute force:
Even before the ground was poured, a dense steel cage was woven in, making Tang Wen extremely doubtful that the strength after pouring could withstand a missile attack.

Ge Xuan remained completely calm and instead explained:

"President Tang, please rest assured, there are piles supporting it from below. We are operating directly according to the standards for offshore platforms, with layers of hoop. Even without soil, it can be supported, and safety is absolutely guaranteed!"

Tang Wen nodded without saying anything and quietly left for the dock.

As per his previous request, two berths were closed off under the pretext of building a "dock warehouse".

The professional construction team works extremely fast, bringing materials directly from the mainland. Relying on their huge manpower and professional machinery advantages, they are now completing the final topping-out process, which will be completed within two days.

The ships that Gaikin can openly deploy already include two cruisers and four destroyers. If an aircraft carrier and a battleship are added, the nodding donkeys can be put into operation under the watchful eyes of experts from both countries.

No matter how unreasonable it may seem, we should always respect the objective facts, right?
……

3 month 4 day.

The media continued to dig deeper into the details of Gaijin Company, which in turn led to the exposure of Gaijin Network Technology.

The public then discovered that this was a bizarre organization that integrated shipbuilding, the internet, and even tourism, and now it was even going to get involved in building passenger planes.

But the strongest reactions came from Zhongguancun and Silicon Valley, who were shocked that the famous BBS was actually a business of a shipyard.

Since the end of last year, DaWang BBS has undisputedly occupied the throne of the number one social networking site in China, mainly because there are no formidable competitors around it.

The current internet is a true wilderness. Although all the big shots have countless ideas, they have no clue how to do it right or how to make money. They live purely by working out of love and deceiving investors.

They weren't defeated by DaWang BBS, but rather they were already struggling to maintain their own systems.

Gaijin Network has everything it needs, providing the best nationwide online community service available today.

Many investors have already expressed interest in learning about and investing in the company, but upon learning the truth, they are left speechless, as they would not be able to do without investment. Tang Wen himself has also been discussed by the media for his youth and various ingenious strategies, and has been called "Shi Juzhu's successor."

Despite being a generation apart in age, their actions are equally bold and exaggerated, and they have very low levels of education, clearly making them "grassroots geniuses."

When Tang Wenyi first entered the BBS these past few days, the top trending post was:

Is it Shi Juzhu or Mu Qizhong? How long will it take for Tang Wen to be exposed and imprisoned?

This headline wasn't written by netizens; it was copied from a media outlet's questioning.

A familiar source, the Southeast Metropolitan Daily.

Still a Shanghai newspaper, all buffs stacked high.

However, this isn't just empty criticism; from the 80s to the present, the number of outstanding individuals from all over China who have gone abroad has been increasing.

Things like turning water into oil to fuel cars, or using aluminum pots on your head to absorb cosmic energy for healing, etc., of course, all of them ended up in bad shape.

The same applies to Tang Wen, who suddenly rose to prominence. With the strong support of Shi Juzhu, he was immediately regarded as another super swindler, and there were many voices of doubt.

Coupled with Huang Hao's denunciation as a genuine scientific researcher, it seems to be yet another shocking scam.

The background message is flashing. This is a private messaging function added for QQ technical verification, which requires mutual following to use.

[The Giant Lying Flat: The public opinion isn't good for you, is it? Do you need me to stand up for you?]

[Young Master Tang: Thank you, your silence is the best help.]

[The Giant Lying Flat: Actually, I have a South China Aircraft Manufacturing Plant here, and they want to connect with us.]

[Young Master Tang: No way, they won't buy it anyway, I'm logging off because I don't have internet access.]

[The Giant Lying Flat: Don't go, don't go! I want to start an airline to transport snowmelt from the Northwest to sell here as a high-end mineral water brand. Do you want my support?]

[Young Master Tang: (Auto-reply) Your friend is offline. Do you want to forward this message to a message box?]

Shi Juzhu, sitting in front of the computer: "..."

……

If he had time, Tang Wen would still like to brag to Shi Juzhu, but now someone wants to see him.

An oil exploration vessel from Quanzhou docked at Echeng Port.

Having just endured a round of cyberbullying, Tang Wen is now facing offline trolls.

"Young man, give up. You can fool others, but geology doesn't lie."

This was Chu Zhen's first time meeting Tang Wen, but not their first encounter.

The last time was when the Fujian Provincial Fisheries Bureau said that Gai Jin believed there was oil in Huangyan Reef, which he decisively refuted.

Unexpectedly, this young man didn't learn his lesson and wanted to try something even bigger.

There is definitely oil and gas in the South China Sea, but can it produce the crude oil that Tang Wen provided? And an annual output of 5000 million tons?

Sorry, it's either refined shale light oil, or only a specific region of a large oil-producing area can produce such high-grade crude oil.

There are no oil fields in China with such good quality crude oil that is so clear and translucent that it is almost no longer black.

Now, he has decided to give the scammer one last chance.

He's nearing retirement, and at that age, he wouldn't risk his reputation for a little money.

Under Su Weiguo's tense gaze, Tang Wen calmly replied:
“The samples we provided were not falsified, and the pumping unit has already begun to produce small quantities of crude oil.”

Chu Zhen shook his head, even with a hint of pity.

As expected, he only has a vocational school diploma. Just like the swindler who turned water into oil back then, he probably even fooled himself.
