The journey starts from the Titanic

Seeing that the coal was unloaded on the ship by the workers in the rain and piled higher and higher in the port area, Chen Guofu couldn't help but ask Liu Hongsheng next to him.

"You really asked the right person." Liu Hongsheng smiled and told Chen Guofu that coal was transported from Sumatra and Borneo. The coal in West Java was basically imported from Tangshan Port and then transported to various regions by rail. .

Last year, Tangshan Port handled more than 5 million tons of coal, and this figure was updated in the first half of this year.Iron and steel industrial zones and power plants are the main coal consumers, and the third place is the high-quality anthracite used for ship power.

"Tangshan Port has now surpassed Singapore to become the largest coal port in Southeast Asia, and more and more ocean-going vessels are mooring here to supplement coal."

Following the direction of Liu Hongsheng's finger, Chen Guofu looked at the ships with national flags moored on the pier, and responded to the poem "Door the Eastern Wu Wanli Ship".

Before landing, it seems that he also felt the prosperity of South China from Liu Hongsheng's pride.

"Pingxiang Coal Company has already done business in South China?" Chen Guofu asked casually.

"That's not the case. I personally run a coal business here. This time, I will take a look at Nanhua's thermal power plant project. If things go well, Pingxiang Coal Company will build some power projects in China."

Liu Hongsheng explained that it was of great importance and he did not disclose more information this time.

At this moment, a cargo ship came in and stopped next to the coal terminal. Liu Hongsheng smiled slightly, pointed to the British and Australian flags on the ship, and said with some envy: "That is the iron ore shipped from Australia. Most of the iron ore in South China They were all transported from the west coast of Australia...Fortunately, we occupied the iron ore back then!"

iron ore?Australia?What does he have to do with Nanhua?

Chen Guofu was secretly surprised, feeling that Zhou Tiancheng, Liu Hongsheng, and others had made him a little bit invisible. Anyway, they were big people with a higher level than him.

Even this Nanhua, from the first sight of Tangshan Port, Chen Guofu felt that there were too many secrets in it, and there was a voice in his heart calling him. Only by creating a career and standing taller would he see more Far away, the original secrets will come to light.

The arrival of the Taiping Ferry made Tangshan Port a joy, countless flags greeted the ship, and the people on the ship responded.Whether it is a distinguished person in the first-class cabin or the abject people in the third-class cabin, they deeply remember this extraordinary journey.

"If you have time tomorrow, I will introduce you a big man, the kind who can reach the sky, is also our fellow."

Liu Hongsheng waved, got in a brand new car and left.

Chen Guofu and his wife Zhu Ming walked carefully out of the dock. There was a wide open square in front of them. There were busy cars and cars speeding on the road. Just after it rained, the glass of each car was as clean as a wash, shiny, and there was a constant flow of traffic.

But the most are bicycles, the ringing of bells keeps ringing on the street, and... that nasty rickshaw, they are the most annoying people for tricycle drivers!

Chapter 40 The Disappearing CC Series

"Oh, this place is bigger than the Shanghai terminal! Uncle Chen, look, there is a train!"

Jiang Jingguo looked out with excitement, a train roared in, and the railway station was less than 200 meters from the dock. It was also a brand new three-story modern building with six steel erections on the roof of the "New Tangshan Railway Station". The big red letters of, can be seen from far away, and the quaint clock on the wall seems a bit domineering.

The roar of the train and the whisper of the ship on the sea one after another, like two giant beasts secretly competing.The flow of people came from the gate of the train station to the pier here. People walked in a hurry, as if to catch up with the booming pulse of this newly industrialized country.Most of them are young people in their teens and twenties. The elderly are rare in this suddenly accelerated city, and they are replaced by young women who pay attention to individual liberation.

"New Tangshan really deserves its reputation! Good, good!"

Zhu Wulou smiled and nodded, and the crutches gently tapped the floor under his feet. The solid concrete floor creaked, splashing a few traces of water.

People walked in a hurry and had no time to take care of them, or walked, climbed onto a bus or a train not far away, and disappeared into the sea of ​​people.

The entire square is thickly paved with cement, brand-new highways lead to the bustling urban area, and tall buildings are looming.

"what!"

Zhu Ming sighed, clutching her chest, coming out of the dock, she felt as if she walked into a huge fast-moving machine and was pushed away. This feeling made her a little uneasy.

Fortunately, there is a husband and father by her side, otherwise she would always feel a little flustered when she came here as a woman.

What made her feel relieved was that the eyes were full of Chinese, and the eyes were full of yellow-skinned and black-eyed Chinese. Although they didn’t understand the Cantonese or Hokkien, Zhu Ming and others didn’t understand them, but they were surprised by these new customers standing at the door. New Tangshan people have long been accustomed to seeing them, and they did not show hostility, but rather felt a little cordial.

Because this is a Chinese world, the South Chinese welcome compatriots from China, and one more Chinese will come, giving this young Chinese world a sense of security and belonging.

Although Zhu Fifth Floor was dazzled by the scene of the busy pier, he was not at all worried, just like the kind greetings of the Chinese customs boy in uniform with pimples on his face when he was leaving the customs. As a compatriot who came to Nanhua from China, Nanhua Customs will say: "Welcome to Nanhua, here is just like home."

Chen Guofu held the bronzed business card left by Liu Hongsheng with his address and phone number in Xintangshan. Jiang Weiji hadn't appeared for a long time. He was a little anxious. His car was still in the freight yard at the dock.

Liu Hongsheng had invited them just now. Chen Guofu wondered whether he should be a guest at Liu Hongsheng's house first. He was photographed behind his back. He looked back, his brother Chen Lifu and his uncle Jiang Weiji stood in front of him with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Chen Guofu asked Chen Lifu subconsciously. He seemed to remember that Chen Lifu would not come back from the United States until half a year later.

"Nanhua is rushing, I had to come back early, less than a month ago. I wanted to stabilize my work before contacting you. I ran into Uncle Jiang a few days ago and knew that you were coming.

Chen Lifu explained with a smile.

Today he finally asked for leave. In this short month, he was so busy that he didn't have time to care about other things, including contact with his brother.

After a greeting, Jiang Weiji asked Chen Guofu: "We waited for you there for a long time, why haven't we seen you?"

Jiang Weiji pointed to the entrance and exit not far away, and the bustling passengers were pouring out. They were all ordinary passengers on the Taiping Wheel. This was evident from their dry clothes and some messy hair.

"Let's take the VIP passage here! I will be out soon, and someone will help me carry my luggage." Jiang Jingguo pointed to the passage behind him proudly. Jiang Weiji was relieved and looked at his son excitedly.

In the past few years of "falling grass", I have never had a chance to fulfill my father's responsibilities. I feel a little guilty. In the blink of an eye, this guy has grown into a small adult with a strong head and a strong body. Jiang Weiji is very pleased.

Jiang Weiji rented a house in the urban area for Chen Guofu's family. It was an army guest house with a beautiful environment and complete facilities. It was a semi-official industry, but it was generally not open to the outside world.

Chen Guofu was very satisfied with this. At the evening banquet, he drank a few more glasses. He joked: "Uncle Jiang, it seems that you are in your head!"

"Boil your head?" Jiang Weiji put down his chopsticks, smiled and shook his head, sipped a sip of rice wine and said with emotion, "People are in the rivers and lakes, and you can't help yourself! It's too early to be in the early days."

"Jiang Shu Guoqian, you have just been appointed as the governor of Yogyakarta, and you are in charge of the military and political power of a province. Except for the heroes who fight the world together, you are the only official who has prospered. Maybe he will be allowed to join the cabinet?"

Chen Lifu looked at Jiang Weiji with some envy, and felt a little disapproving of Jiang Weiji's pretense.

There are also more than a dozen provinces in South China, and Yogyakarta Special Administrative Region is one of them. For Jiang Weiji, who had not participated in the founding war of the United States and China, this is indeed an honor.

If you don't have a strong background, you will definitely not be able to climb into that position.Not long ago, Chen Lifu returned to Nanhua, and he was not very familiar with Nanhua. He didn't know the hardships that Jiang Wei had experienced, and he didn't realize his ambitions.

Hearing that he was going to join the cabinet in the future, Jiang Weiji moved slightly, and his compliment to Chen Lifu was very helpful.At present, this Chen brother is the object he wants to win over.

When he invited Chen Guofu to work, he was declined by Chen Guofu. He was secretly unhappy, and he listened to Chen Guofu's explanation with a smile on his face.

"That's right, my father-in-law intends to open the Bank of Zhejiang in South China, and he hopes I can help. There are also a few businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who are in partnership with us. They leave this to us."

Chen Guofu was a little embarrassed.He rushed over after receiving a telegram from Jiang Weiji from Nanhua. He had promised to come and assist Jiang Weiji, but now he has new ideas.

bank?

Chen Guofu's words caught Jiang Weiji's attention. Hearing Chen Guofu's detailed presentation of the plan to organize the Bank of Zhejiang, he secretly sighed Chen Guofu's good luck.

Chen Guofu's development in the banking industry is also good for Jiang Weiji. In Chen Guofu, Jiang Weiji faintly sees the help that Nanhua's Jiangsu and Zhejiang merchants can provide him in the future.

"You have found a good future, happy for your uncle, and work hard, just ask me if you have anything." Jiang Weiji became enthusiastic and encouraged Chen Guofu to invest in Yogyakarta.

Chen Guofu readily agreed, secretly grateful to Jiang Weiji for his care.

After the banquet was over, Jiang Weiji remembered that he would rush back to Yogyakarta to take up his post the next day, so he left in a hurry.Zhu Wulou got older, and went back to rest after being exhausted, leaving only the Chen brothers to continue communicating.

Compared with Chen Guofu, who had no chance to go to university and came out early to work hard in society, Chen Lifu was much luckier. Not only did he go to university, he also got a master's degree from abroad.
