What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 429 Eyes in the Dark (May 5th, 5400 monthly votes)

Tang Wen, a multitalented man whose talents were wasted on money.

Tang Wen has become a viral sensation once again.

At the Hong Kong naval review on July 1, in addition to the fleet that was so huge it seemed unreal, the famous "Moon Palace Battle Song" was also on display.

Prior to this, most official songs in China had a vintage feel, and listening to them would involuntarily take you back decades.

No, the "Breaking the Formation in the Moon Palace" is a masterpiece that was used as a space-themed background music in the original timeline. It is both grand and has an uplifting and prosperous feel, which is very suitable for the current environment.

A month later, on August 1st, although there was no military parade and only some newspapers and music videos were released, the army couldn't wait to use "The March of the Steel Torrent".

Upon closer inspection of the composer's name, people were surprised to discover that it shared the same name as a very high-profile and wealthy tycoon.

Moreover, the name of the Moon Palace Breaking Formation Song is also the same.

Now, in addition to his titles as a science fiction writer, industrialist, internet mogul, pioneer of domestic private automobiles, figurine enthusiast (referring to the warship scenic area), and oil tycoon, Tang Wen has added the title of famous composer.

If you ever attend an event and need to announce your name, this list of titles would be enough to make someone breathless from shouting.

Now, this super-genius is leveraging his business tycoon title to provide economic advice for the Greater Bay Area fisheries:

The village chief wants to start a deep-sea fishing business.

"The monkeys are gone now, but there are too many fishing boats in Goose City. I plan to go out and try my luck."

Chen Yonggui puffed on his pipe, squinting as he explained his reasons.

The problem that had plagued fishermen for decades disappeared without a trace after Tang Wen's several decisive actions.

At first, Luzon and Annam thought that Gai Kim would not last long, since there was no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days, and that he would eventually be unable to make ends meet and would eventually give up.

Then the Nansha oil well was erected.

To maintain the required fleet distance of 100 nautical miles, cruisers and destroyers are now patrolling the Spratly Islands at all times.

And this number is still increasing, because a single naval base or a single island must be equipped with its own basic fleet.

Gongzhen Reef, Feixin Island, and Ren'ai Reef represent 3 aircraft carriers, 3 battleships, 6 cruisers, and 12 destroyers.

Although only Gongzhen Reef is currently producing oil, the Tai Wan Shipyard is already producing the required cruisers and destroyers. It has already produced two Agano-class ships, 503 and 504, and two destroyers, 406 and 407.

Once the trainees have grown up, a ship only needs a dozen to forty or fifty crew members to operate. The patrol force in the Spratly Islands is increasing at an alarming rate.

In addition, Qiongzhou Maritime Surveillance has ordered four "Dongjiang-type" vessels as fishery administration vessels, which will soon be put into use.

With the South China Sea calming down, domestic fishermen are flocking there in droves. In addition, Tang Wen has increased the rental speed of Dongjiang-type fishing boats after going through Giant Fisheries, and the surrounding waters are being visibly filled.

Seeing Shi Juzhu's immense success and how he quickly became a fishing tycoon in China through deep-sea fishing, Chen Yonggui wanted to join this still-developing market and had contacted the West African fishing grounds through Shi Juzhu.

This would require the village of Dawan to raise funds and even take out loans to purchase Dongjiang-type ships, and even need to purchase larger refrigerated ships in order to get it going, so they sought out Tang Wen to oversee the project.

The latter knew nothing about fishing, but suddenly a question came to mind:

"I remember, Peru also has a large fishing ground, right?"

Chen Yonggui: "I've thought about that too, but it seems like there's some kind of Second Fleet thing going on now, and nobody dares to take it on. What if we go there and the ship sinks?"

"Wait a minute, so it's cheap to lease out Peruvian fishing grounds right now, right?"

"That's how it is, but..."

"Go ahead, go without worry! You have insurance, so don't be afraid."

Tang Wen grabbed his hands tightly: "The bold get rich while the timid starve, Uncle, that's what you call opportunity! You'll regret it if you miss it!"

The village chief didn't know why Tang Wen had suddenly become agitated, but then he heard the latter mutter to himself:

"What important futures contracts does Nanmei have? I should have made a few trades!"

……

The Malaysian ringgit has fallen below its exchange rate.

After the Thai baht was crushed at an alarming rate, financial speculators set their sights on Malaysia, which took some countermeasures, but they had little effect.

The neighboring city of [unclear] also acted as if facing a major threat, hastily implementing a number of control measures in fear of becoming the next target.

This is happening faster than the original timeline, and Tang Wen believes it's most likely a result of domestic betting.

We absolutely must provide assistance. The country has spent over 100 billion yuan to help the surrounding areas recover and maintain stability.

The surrounding economic stagnation is not a good thing. The direct result of economic chaos is social decline, leading to decreased stability and a large number of unemployed people moving around.

If it develops to a certain extent, it will naturally gather at the domestic border, inevitably affecting our own country as well.

In real history, when the Southeast Asian countries were plunged into chaos by the economic crisis, the direct consequences were the proliferation of illicit drugs and smuggling, with the ultimate goal being to target domestic issues.

Currently, the domestic government is actually helping regions attacked by financial predators to preserve their vitality so that they can rebuild their economies more quickly and easily.

In Hong Kong, aside from the impending economic crisis, another major event is quietly taking place.

One month after the return, the biggest news in the area is:
"Vocational schools shatter heroes' dreams, and the docks are full of scoundrels."

……

"Boss, two steamers of shumai, and two bowls of sweet soup, please!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The shop owner deftly brought the food to the table, but when he recognized one of the people, the steamer in his hand slipped and fell to the ground. His face turned pale as he cried out:
"King Jiulong? Brother Qiang? I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to pay protection money, it's just that I haven't seen you guys the past few days..."

As the boss frantically pulled money from his apron, "Brother Qiang" grabbed his arm and nervously glanced around, whispering:

"What are you shouting about? What Brother Qiang? I'm just a fishmonger, doing business honestly."

The bald "King of Long" noticed that people were looking over, so he quickly got up and pulled Wang Qiqiang into the alley.

In the past, they would certainly have acted with great pomp and circumstance and received respect when recognized, but things are different now:
What kind of damn training course is this? The teaching assistants drive around in trucks all day, offering high rewards to members of the group. Once they spot someone, they pounce on them like wolves and drag them away, shouting things like, "Your mother is very worried about you," and "Study hard to become a seaman and make big money."

At first, some big shots were ready to take a gamble, but they were quickly brought to reality by the first cohort of trainees.

From then on, Da Wan School became a nightmare for clubs, with some who managed to slip through the net fearing being recognized.

"Uncle Tai, look what those people have done to us!"

Wang Qiqiang couldn't help but complain, and "Uncle Tai" coldly replied:

"That guy surnamed Tang is too young. He doesn't know that being in a gang isn't about fighting and killing. We may be dirty, but we are the dark side of big shots. By doing this, he has already offended everyone."

The training school at the pier is about to open, and that guy surnamed Tang will definitely be there. Have a few of your underlings who were arrested keep an eye on his movements.

Wang Qiqiang nodded emphatically. He knew that Uncle Tai's boss had recruited several foreign special forces soldiers at great expense, and it was obvious what they were planning to do.

However, those foreigners couldn't gather intelligence themselves, so we had to rely on them to get the itinerary information.
