Chapter 246: Shark Attack
The construction of Phoenix City has caused dissatisfaction among the great white sharks living in the waters south of the island. The roar of the machines and the whistles of the passing ships make these social sea animals restless.
Finally, the unbearable great white shark began to set out, to give the owner of Phoenix a little look! They can't imagine that Hu Zhiyong is most worried about them. A large number of deep-water minefields have been laid on the south side of Stone Island, and these powerful animals will never be allowed to destroy this beautiful city!
"Boom-" The first explosion sent a multi-ton great white shark floating up from the bottom of the water. The helicopter flew up at a rapid pace, threw a brown rope with a grip from above, hooked the mouth of the white shark and dragged it towards the edge of the island.
Great white sharks, also known as man-eating sharks and white dead sharks, are large aggressive carnivores, with a length of up to 6-7 meters, a weight of 3,200 kilograms, and the highest length recorded is even 14 meters, with teeth 10 centimeters long.
The great white shark is very curious, it often raises its head from the water to observe the surface of the water, and what worries people in the water is that it often explores unfamiliar targets by biting.
Great white sharks can reach speeds of up to 43 mph in the water, totaling 69 km/h. After the first great white shark appeared, it was followed by a constant sound on the water. Many people watched from the concrete embankment, and the sea suddenly turned red with blood.
"Grandma, this is a warrior who is not afraid of death!" Ma Xiandeng looked at it and couldn't help but smack his tongue and scream.
"Quick, set up a second line of defense, and lay a minefield for me from the water behind the sharks!" Hu Zhiyong didn't want to kill these sea creatures, but Phoenix was in danger, and he had to get rid of these most dangerous enemies!
More than a dozen helicopters laid mines from the air, and command planes observed underwater movements from high altitudes. It was a battle without suspense, but no one was excited by the imminent victory.
There were several large cargo ships parked by the docks, and the white sharks on them had been piled up into high mountains. Strangely, the blood remains in the sea, attracting schools of fish vying to suck on the surface of the water for a delicious meal.
"Dead!" News came back from the air that the great white shark on the southern seabed had been completely cleared!
"Pack up all the great white sharks and send them to the freezer for storage!" Hu Zhiyong shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that there is so much fish blood!" ”
A fish is seven or eight meters long, and the longest is about twelve meters high. Most of these great white sharks came from the bottom of the sea smelling blood. After careful calculation, in one afternoon, thousands of the most powerful sea overlords were eliminated.
There were no great white sharks under the water, and Liu Xingdou proposed to go to the south of the island to check it out. Hu Zhiyong shook his head and said, "We don't have time now, let's wait for the future!" ”
Germany was preparing pre-war supplies, ordering tens of thousands of tons of instant food from Hong Kong, and factories were working overnight. The sales of weapons fell a lot, but Hu Zhiyong did not let the production quantity decrease, but kept it as before.
It was almost 1939, when the war began, and he believed that these things would be sold out. In particular, the Tianluo brand series of liquor and cigarettes they produce have been ordered by merchants from all over the world.
Hopkins arrived alone, and from the moment he stepped off the plane, he was amazed by the grandeur of the building. After taking the tram, he quickly arrived in Phoenix City after more than 100 miles, and the driver told him: "The industrial city is not open, you can only visit in the commercial city and the residential area." Of course, if you need to buy goods, you only need to have a bill of pick-up, and we will help you ship it to Los Angeles. ”
“OK!” Hopkins was tall and thin, and he was also a shrewd businessman. He was very fond of Tianhua's friendly introduction, and thought that this was the first step in the way of making money.
Stepping off the tram, he stood awkwardly and looked around. A beautiful blonde girl came up and said in not very proficient English, "Sir, do you need me to serve you?" ”
"I want to go to the bathroom, is there any?" Hopkins did not alarm Hu Zhiyong, and wanted to visit this magical Chinese boy again after a secret visit.
"Poof!" The blonde smiled good-naturedly, pointed to the box car parked on the street and said, "You have to go and change money before you can board the health car." ”
"Toilet in the car? Is this the case in such a big city? Hopkins was surprised.
"This is the case in commercial streets, schools, and factories, and families in residential areas naturally have their own toilets." The blonde introduced, led him to the front of the car, and talked to the driver.
Hopkins took out the dollars and exchanged them for small denominations to board the car, and he became interested in such toilets. After a little relief, he got out of the car and looked at the driver: "You don't pay a receipt for such a charge, isn't the company afraid of your corruption?" ”
"Sir, I bought the car with a loan and the charge was made to cover the cost of gas and water. If I want to be corrupt, I can only be corrupt myself, you say I need to do this? "This is a man who is not more than twenty-five years old, and he has told them how to run a business.
"How will this sustain you?" Hopkins looked at the street suspiciously, there is a sanitation car thirty meters away, how much can a day earn five cents a day?
"The income is about 100 yuan a day!" The man smiled with joy and replied in proficient English.
One hundred dollars is worth the same amount as the dollar, and Hopkins was surprised: "Three thousand dollars a month, your life is quite good!" ”
"Yes." The man smiled and began to exchange money for other customers.
The blonde was gone, and it occurred to Hopkins that he should find a guide. The owner of the health truck seemed to have guessed his thoughts, pointed to the public phone on the street and said, "There is a phone number of the tour guide company above, you can call for help." ”
"Thank you, thank you." Hopkins hurriedly walked over and looked at the phone booth in English and Mandarin to find the number he needed.
Soon, a beautiful little car came to him, and in the car was a blonde woman, who got out of the car and asked politely, "Sir, where are you going?" I'm here for you! ”
"I—" Hopkins looked at the street embarrassedly and said embarrassedly, "You lead me around, I don't know where to go." ”
"Shall I show you around the shopping street?" The blonde saw that he was here for the first time and kindly gave him advice.
"Okay!"
Sitting in the car, Hopkins noticed that the car was very comfortable and luxurious. The blonde turns on the radio knob, and a burst of melodious music fills the entire carriage.
At the entrance of the commercial street, the girl parked in the square and led the strange guest to visit the newly built commercial city. Although it is not yet fully built, three streets are already open.
When Hopkins walked here, he found that every street had the words "Commercial Pedestrian Street" written on it, and occasionally a few motorized vehicles, also full of goods to deliver to customers.
He was dazzled here, and every item was full of temptation for him. The blonde introduced as she walked, leading him into the commercial area of Electrical Street.
"Advanced, affluent, practical, Phoenix is really amazing!" Hopkins couldn't help but praise that every item here is full of technical gold. Especially when he saw mahogany, teak, and sandalwood furniture, the oscillation in his heart was extraordinary.
"Mr. Hopkins!" As soon as he walked into Hu Zhiyong's house, he revealed the identity of the comer.
"Your intelligence is amazing!" Hopkins, knowing that he would not coax the shrewd leader, smiled and teased.
"We're here in Freeport, but we all have ID tests before boarding. All businessmen and tourists are welcome, but also those with ulterior motives! Hu Zhiyong invited him to sit down and explained the seemingly simple question to the distinguished guest.
"The technology you produce is not open to the public?" Hopkins came here to get access to the advanced technology here.
"It's not that it's not open, it's that it's selectively open!" Hu Zhiyong smiled faintly and poured a bowl of fragrant tea for the guest: "The United States has always been my friend, and I am most interested in the US dollar!" ”
"Hahahaha!" Both the guests of honor laughed happily, and Hu Zhiyong's humorous words put Hopkins at ease.
Hu Zhiyong proposed that he would buy 2 million tons of metal, 3 million tons of wheat, rice, and 100,000 tons of cotton from Los Angeles, all in exchange for materials and technology.
Hopkins was certainly willing, and asked for a plan to send international students to study in various fields. Hu Zhiyong nodded slightly, indicating that he accepted his suggestion.
For dinner, Hopkins tasted a delicious great white shark. I also drank the best white and red wines here. When the two talked about the international situation, they both hoped that they could make a windfall in the time of war.
Like-minded guests of honor who talked until late at night. After arranging for Hopkins to rest, he sat down and closed his eyes and fell into deep thought. Two million tons of steel, which is almost a drop in the bucket for the United States, a major producer, however, will bring greater gains to Phoenix.
"Young master, if you sell all the technology, we can still make money?" Huofeng sat beside Hu Zhiyong and asked with a low face.
"The technology he bought can only be one-tenth, and it will not pose a threat to us in thirty or fifty years!" Hu Zhiyong opened his eyes and said happily: "They can't take China's share, and Southeast Asia is our world!" In Europe and Africa, we must prepare as soon as possible, and when the war is over, we will seize the market there! ”
"They didn't come up with a military product this time?" Huo Feng seemed to see something.
"That's what I'm feeling strange about!" Hu Zhiyong sat up straight: "It stands to reason that what he should want most is military products and technology, but he didn't say anything about it!" ”
"Want to get away with it?" The fire phoenix muttered to herself.
"Quite possibly!" Hu Zhiyong suddenly smiled: "Hopkins is amazing, he is afraid that we will not come up with the best things, and he will give me a problem when he wants to see the goods directly." Okay, I'll show a few treasures, I'm not afraid that you won't take the bait! ”
PS: Everyone, a lot of flowers, I'm here please! Charcoal in the snow, I will remember the big ones who left me a message and sent flowers!
