What the hell is a private enterprise?

Chapter 58 Fighting
It was already past seven o'clock when I went out. Fortunately, it gets dark very late in the south in the summer.

The jeep stepped on the accelerator and rushed out into the darkness. After a few seconds, only the blurry taillights could be seen.

At the entrance of the restaurant, a bald and slightly fat man happened to see this scene.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and all he could think of was the army green jeep.

This car has been quite famous in Goose City recently. After a little inquiry, you will find out that it belongs to a shipyard and they also have military trucks.

Wang Hu didn't know what he was thinking, and after a moment he opened the door of the red Santana.

……

Seven days later, Da Wan Port.

After the efforts of everyone in the shipyard and the port, a simple iron shed was finally built for the Hornet.

From a distance, the original berth looked like a large warehouse, except that the bottom was covered with water.

The Hornet has been completely hidden and there is basically no risk of being exposed.

The buildings in the port were also extensively camouflaged, with scaffolding and mesh covering the walls, making it look as if they were under construction.

Tang Wen stood on the top of a small hill in Da Wan. Looking down from above, Da Wan Port looked like a construction site that was mostly under construction. As long as he didn't go down to look, there would be no flaws.

Especially after turning off all the lights, there is no longer a casual atmosphere that is out of tune with the surroundings.

Next to Tang Wen, Chen Yonggui was scratching his head as he watched the scene below.

A few days ago, he completed the procedures and qualifications for the fishing company and the resort, and helped Tang Wen register two shell companies.

One is Gaijin Power Technology Co., Ltd., whose registered business is diesel, gasoline and electric power machinery. It currently has only one employee, the general manager Wu Laoer, and is dedicated to selling diesel engines and gasoline motors.

The other is Gaijin Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., which mainly engages in shipbuilding business. Tang Wen is the general manager and has one employee under him, namely the financial director Hu Li. In the future, the shipbuilding business will be undertaken under the name of Gaijin Heavy Industry and then subcontracted to Gaijin Shipyard for execution.

As for the company operating the tourist resort, it is the Dayuan Tourism and Culture Company founded by the Dayuan Village collective. After collective election, Chen Yonggui was confirmed as the general manager and Tang Wen as the deputy general manager. They signed a cooperation agreement with Gaijin Heavy Industry to jointly demarcate the development area and equipment investment issues.

Dayuan Fishery is also a completely collective company. Tang Wen is a villager of Dayuan Village, but he signed a cooperation agreement with Gaijin Heavy Industry to purchase an ocean-going vessel (hull) of more than 500 tons in the form of a loan, with an estimated price of 300 million yuan, and agreed to repay it in two years.

After the details were preliminarily allocated, the first thing Dayuan Village did was to immediately assemble the construction team and prepare to start road construction.

Road construction is needed to develop tourism, to transport goods for fishing companies, and to improve the living conditions of villagers, so this became a project that was hastily launched.

The construction team and various equipment rumbled into the village today, and the workers who arrived first were building prefabricated houses.

At this time, Tang Wen suddenly told Chen Yonggui that he had already carried out certain infrastructure construction of the port in advance using prefabricated panels through other means.

The latter followed to the top of Da Wan Mountain and almost thought he had gone to the wrong place.

I don't know when a large port was added to the original fjord. Although there seem to be iron fences and scaffolding everywhere, it has taken shape and can be used after some renovation.

There are hotels, shops, and roads everywhere, but where do the coconut trees and bushes come from?!

Just like the Gaijin Shipyard, a large area was built out of nowhere.

Chen Yonggui looked at Tang Wen with a big question mark in his eyes.

The latter explained calmly:

"This is a rapid construction model in unconventional areas, combining modern multi-dimensional lifting operations with prefabricated building modules, using water-based vessels as a foundation. It incorporates a people-oriented core philosophy and is permeated with the concept of green development. It has revolutionized traditional construction technology, addressing the industry's time and cost pain points, opening up a new era for the construction industry. Ultimately... it was created this way."

The village chief didn't know whether he heard it or not, and finally opened his mouth and said numbly:
"Can we ask this construction team to repair the road for us? I think they're doing a pretty good job and are doing it pretty quickly."

“…They only work near the sea.”

"What are those big jars for?"

"For storing oil, this port is a realistic construction and can also serve our fishing boats in the future. It is both beautiful and practical."

Chen Yonggui stretched out his thumb and used the offset method to compare the size. The oil tank was taller than the building and could store at least 20,000 to 30,000 tons of oil, which would take hundreds of ships to use up.

Words couldn't express his shock. Building the Yumi Xiaofu Building was possible so quickly, but a port this large...

"Cattle."

The village chief expressed his attitude briefly and rudely, then asked timidly:

"I just want to ask if you can inform the village before starting construction next time. I feel really stressed about suddenly starting such a big project."

That is to say, the entire bay is concave in a C shape, and almost no villagers come here, otherwise such a large port would have been discovered long ago.

"Definitely next time."

Tang Wen mumbled over it vaguely, and then continued:
"Build a road from the harbor coast, go around the mountain and it will connect to the outside world.

I plan to open some shops and restaurants here, so that when there are more tourists, I can invite villagers to come in to work or open shops.

Whether it’s for the elderly or children, selling snacks and drinks is better than farming.”

Chen Yonggui nodded vigorously. This was exactly what he wanted to say.

When he thought about the villagers being able to make money in the future, he began to plan how to make good use of the port for development.

Look at the hotel in the center, it looks more impressive than many hotels in the city!

While the two were thinking, the construction site not far away began to become lively.

Almost all the villagers from every household came out to watch the work of the construction team that had conducted advance surveys.

The villagers are not unfamiliar with collective road construction. For example, the cement road from the city to the town was built by mobilizing the villagers together.

Each section was contracted to a specific village. There were not enough trucks and machinery, so people had to rely on manpower to carry cement and tamp the foundation.

Now that the road is being built not only for the village but also for their own money, they are of course more concerned.

It wasn't long before villagers came strolling by and saw the harbour, which had undergone a major transformation. Soon the hills by the fjord were crowded with people.

After some debate, everyone looked towards where Tang Wen was standing, followed by continuous cheers.

The establishment of tourism projects and collective fishery companies are major events. The village holds a meeting every few days, and Tang Wen has also attended several meetings.

Although he was not very good at speaking, when everyone saw that the planned "tourist port" was built before the highway, they immediately knew that Tang Wen was not playing tricks.

Since he was actually working for the benefit of the village, Tang Wen's recognition immediately increased significantly.

With the road construction and money-making, Tang Wen had to be called "Brother" by his peers when he walked around the village. Many old people would also talk about their past friendship with Tang, and then start introducing the death traps of their targets.

Tang Wen was about to sneak back to the shipyard when his cell phone suddenly rang.

Chen Yonggui, who was standing next to him, looked at him with envy, and he also bought a pager, not even dreaming of a mobile phone.

When Tang Wen answered the phone, he was quite surprised to hear Tang Yi's voice:
"What? Customers are fighting over the purchase of our boat?"

……

"Remember, we must not reveal our identities, understand?"

"I understand, Master."

"What master? Call me brother!"

Chen Ming touched his hair, which he had spent eighty yuan to perm, and tried his best to make his expression look more unrestrained.

Now, he and rookie police officer Song Haoxiang are sitting in the Anti-Smuggling Bureau's camouflaged, unmarked off-road vehicle, heading to the Gaijin Shipyard.

A dozen days earlier, they learned from suspected smuggler Li Chang that four speedboats were still at the shipyard. They reported this to their superiors, intending to pay the balance to purchase the boats, confiscate them, and use them as anti-smuggling vessels. The Anti-Smuggling Bureau ultimately agreed, but refused to purchase them under official authority.

Hong Kong has not yet returned to China, and any rash contact in an official capacity could easily cause unnecessary trouble.

Three hundred thousand yuan is not a lot of money, so the Anti-Smuggling Bureau simply asked Chen Ming to take Li Chang's receipt and tow the boat away after paying the balance.

Before coming, Chen Ming had already contacted a truck in Echeng, so he could just take it back directly when the time comes.

Now he and the rookie police officers just want to complete the mission quickly. Every second in the mainland is filled with unknown fear.

Fortunately, the road to Dayuan Village is not complicated, but the bumpy road surface still makes Chen Ming drive nervously. There is no place to repair the car if it breaks down.

At this moment, he saw a red Passat running amok in the rearview mirror.

Compared to the cautious hard-core off-road Prado, the Passat, which is obviously a sedan, sped past them directly on the shoulder of the road.

After the rain, slippery mud spots were immediately splashed and flew out of the car window onto Chen Ming's face.

The latter's eyes instantly turned red, he cursed "country bumpkin" and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, flashing his lights and honking his horn to catch up with the Peugeot.

However, the Peugeot was driving so fast that he could not catch up at all. Chen Ming gritted his teeth and could only barely follow it. In the end, he found that the other party was also driving towards Dayuan Village.

……

Gaijin Shipyard.

The red Peugeot drifted to a stop, and four big men got out.

"Brother Hu, that guy is like a woman. Even an off-road vehicle can't catch up with us!"

Hearing the driver's smug tone, Wang Hu didn't take it seriously, but still said:
"That one is called Prado, it can buy several Peugeots, and it has Hong Kong license plates.

It must be someone who made a fortune in the past on some continent, with at least several million in assets to be able to afford it."

"That must be 700,000 or 800,000, right?"

The younger brother smacked his lips and sighed, then suddenly pointed behind him and said:
"They actually caught up with us. They're quite brave."

As they were talking, the Prado was already driving straight towards them, and only stopped suddenly with an emergency brake when it was almost right in front of them.

Angrily, Chen Ming touched the leather bag around his waist, then pushed the car door and jumped out. He was not at all nervous when facing the four people.

“@#*%&…”

Chen Ming's Hong Kong-style swear words were fast and with a thick accent, but the driver still heard the key words "Pujiezai" and "Duilei Laomu", and immediately squinted his eyes and started to fight back.

Three younger brothers from Wang Hu's side immediately stepped forward, and rookie Song Haoxiang also hurried forward to help his master. The two sides immediately started a war of words.

Chen Ming was relatively restrained and thought of just scolding the other party and asking them to apologize. However, the three younger brothers were not the kind of people who would suffer any loss. They did not apologize as he expected, but kept coming forward and showing signs of fighting.

Oh no, it’s a gang member!
The two anti-smuggling agents immediately became nervous. Although they had weapons, they were brought in secretly. If they used them, things would become complicated.

Fortunately, the shipyard protection team arrived in time.

"What are you doing!"

Two or three factory security team members hurried over. The security guard suddenly said that he saw Zheng Hai's Red Poussin and immediately asked the factory security team for help.

Fearing that the previous incident would happen again, the factory protection team carried steel pipes in their hands.

Trucks carrying Type 92 tanks are already in place in the warehouse, ready to rush out for support at any time.

Seeing the people from the shipyard, Chen Ming felt like he had seen a savior. He quickly stepped back and shouted in Cantonese:

"I'm here to buy a boat, your client, and these people are trying to cause trouble."

"fart!"

Wang Hu, who had been watching and waiting for him to be bullied by his younger brothers, suddenly spoke up and said proudly:

"We are also customers, how come we are considered troublemakers?"

"You're clearly a gang!"

"Who said gangs can't buy boats?"

Chen Ming was speechless for a moment, and at this time Tang Yi also rushed over and looked at the red Peugeot nervously.

But when he found someone he had never seen before, he relaxed his vigilance a little. After all, he had seen two or three red Peugeots in Goose City, and there were many people who bought this color.

After hearing the conversation between the two groups of people, he realized that they were all customers who wanted to buy a boat.

Adhering to the principle of customer first, Tang Yi quickly invited both parties to the reception room, and then called Tang Wen.

When Tang Wen heard about the fight between customers, he was also a little confused and rushed back with Chen Yonggui.

……

"I'm so sorry to have kept you all waiting."

Since they were customers, Tang Wen was very enthusiastic and greeted the six people on both sides first.

Seeing the young Tang Wen, Chen Ming finally felt a sense of familiarity and quickly said:

"You must be Mr. Tang, right? I'm here to pay the balance. Is your boat finished?"

Chen Ming didn't want to stay in that poor and remote place for a moment. He just wanted to complete his mission quickly and return to Hong Kong.

"The final payment?"

Tang Wen was a little stunned for a moment. He was sure that he didn't know the other party and didn't know when he had taken the order.

"Here's the receipt, and we brought the money too."

Taking the wrinkled receipt, Tang Wen saw at a glance that it was from his own shipyard.

In the past, simple small boat businesses did not have contracts and relied on receipts for confirmation.

However, when he took a closer look at the content, he immediately frowned.

After pondering for a moment, Tang Wencai looked at Chen Ming seriously and said:
"This receipt is genuine, but the owner is Mr. Li Chang. Where did you get it from?"

Hearing the name Li Chang, Tang Yi and Tang Feng, who were watching the excitement at the door, immediately pricked up their ears and had the same solemn expression on their faces.

Li Chang is Zheng Hai's man. How could the boat he ordered be suddenly taken by someone else?

The two men instantly became alert. After a look at each other, Tang Feng stayed to protect Tang Wen and slowly walked into the house, while Tang Yi stepped out to prepare to summon the factory protection team.

Chen Yonggui, who was confused, was also pulled away by Tang Yi. After understanding the situation, he walked into the reception room despite being stopped and looked at the people in the room vigilantly.

Seeing Tang Feng and Chen Yonggui suddenly rush in with unfriendly looks, Chen Ming secretly felt that something was wrong.

He just came to buy the boat and pay for it, why do you act like you want to keep him?
This is how all mainland shipyards do business. Do they like to force purchases and sales?
Just when he was at a loss and ready to explain, Wang Hu beside him suddenly said:

"Li Chang? Were these the four ships Zheng Hai bought?"

Tang Wen immediately turned his head and looked at Wang Hu, who was full of the air of a gangster. He silently retreated behind Tang Feng and then put his hand inside his clothes.

Ever since he was hijacked, he had been looking for ways to protect himself, and finally discovered that there was a pilot emergency backpack in the Hornet's plane, which was equipped with a small M1911.

Both he and Tang Feng now carry one with them, ready for any emergency.
