"That koi doesn't seem to have been in Bitang lately?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Nope." The young man said with some hesitation.

"It looks like I've swam to the south, and I've heard that the water has been relatively strong over there lately."

"It should be." The young man thought for a while, and said with some worry: "But it seems that a batch of small shrimp was sent to the south by the big fish yesterday, and it seems that it should have been discovered that the water has been a little muddy recently, and preparations have been made in advance." ”

"Don't worry, a few stinky fish and rotten shrimp can't escape the palm of the dragon king."

After putting the fish sauce in the kitchen, the young man greeted the cooks and then said goodbye to the middle-aged man and left. The sky outside the house was a little gloomy, and the young man looked up and said secretly in his heart: "Is it stinky fish and rotten shrimp?" Pushing aside his uneasiness, he walked to the door and saw the young woman sitting there.

"No flies, right?"

"Nope!" The woman smiled.

"That's fine, the fish sauce is delivered to the kitchen, let's go."

"Has the money been recovered?" Women are not beautiful, but they seem to be very family-oriented.

"Well, Uncle told us to continue catching fish and making fish sauce."

The woman smiled slightly, nodded, took her husband's hand, and the couple left side by side.

Seeing Wang Yi coming back, Han Xiujing greeted her with a smile, Wang Yi said a few words to her, Lin Taixi pounced at this time and said with a smile: "Xiujing, look at the gadgets that Mr. bought back." Do you see it fun? ”

They are all small animal toys made of wood, with ducklings, puppies, kittens and whatever, and they look cute.

Han Xiujing stretched out her hand and pinched Lin Tae-hee's little face, and then smiled: "Cute, but no matter how cute it is, it's not as cute as our family Tae-hee." ”

Lin Tae-hee, who was pinched with a small face, was like a frightened deer, panicked out of Han Xiujing's clutches, hid behind Wang Yi's back, and then pouted at Han Xiujing and grimaced.

Wang Yi easily pulled her out from behind, took her in his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, by the way, Xiujing, how are the preparations for the dinner?" ”

"One qiē ready!"

"Sure enough, our Xiujing is the most capable." Wang Yi laughed.

"Don't, don't." Han Xiujing shook her little hand, bowed her head and said, "Sir, I didn't help much, mainly because Manager Wang was working on this matter." ”

Wang Feng was beside him at this time, and hurriedly said modestly: "It's all Miss Xiujing who is guiding me, otherwise I really can't complete the preparation work so quickly." ”

Wang Yi smiled at Han Xiujing and said, "The hard work Wang is in charge." ”

The dinner starts at 6 p.m., but it's just a few pre-dinner drinks where guests can move around and chat together. The main meal would not start until half past seven, and Wang Yi would not officially appear on the road in front of everyone at that time. For an hour and a half, he would only meet with local heavyweights to discuss issues related to the development of North Vietnam and the situation in the immediate region.

Wang Yi's study area is not small, although it is not as good as Ning Island, but it is not a big problem to accommodate more than a dozen people. Usually the guests will chat in the garden, and no one will stop by to join in the fun.

"Thank you for coming, and I would like to give you a toast." Wang Yi sat behind the wide boss's chair and smiled. Lin Taixi, Han Xiujing, and Chu Yuan stood behind him, very quiet. The outside is taken care of by Wang Feng, and through the window, Wang Yi can see the busy figure.

The invited guests in the room all stood up, and Han Shuqi, as the governor of a province, took the lead in replying: "Chairman, you are too polite. ”

"Today is a private gathering, everyone can relax, don't have to be informal, and can talk freely." Wang Yi said at this time.

Although he said this, the others were obviously in awe of him as a great god, and those who really dared to speak were not, they were all cautious, even Han Shuqi was no exception. Therefore, Wang Yi also had to open his own topic, saying: "North Vietnam is the core area of my Northeast Autonomous Region in the five provinces of Southeast Asia, the leader of industrial development, and you are all the leaders of North Vietnam, representing the strength of our Northeast Autonomous Region in North Vietnam." If you encounter any problems, you can raise them here. I will do my best to assist ......"

After listening to this, you look at me, I look at you, and it seems that they all want the other party to speak first. However, at this time, a young man stood up, and everyone turned their faces to see that it was Vu Yuan Qing, who had recently been in the limelight in Hanoi and North Vietnam. Since the Qing and French Wars, the samurai family began to invest heavily in the direction of the Northeast, actively responded to the call of the Northeast, and cooperated with the Dashang Group many times in terms of infrastructure projects. In Shen Yazhi's Red Heart Society's public welfare undertakings, there are also many sponsors.

Wu Yuan Qing is one of the representatives of the samurai family, and this time he was able to represent the samurai family to participate in the meeting with Wang Yi, and his status in the family can naturally be imagined.

When he first arrived today, Han Shuqi had already introduced Wang Yi to everyone in the house. Of course, remembering, not remembering, is another matter. However, at this time, Wang Yi was really impressed by the young man in front of him, after all, in the middle of a group of old men, this person was somewhat out of the crowd.

Wu Yuanqing looked very educated, and after getting up, he gave Wang Yi a slight salute, but what made Wang Yi feel most strange was the two girls behind him, how to say that they were also rare beauties. And Wu Yuanqing didn't even take a second look, and saw that his self-control ability was good.

"Hello Mr. Chairman."

"Oh, hello Mr. Wu."

Obviously, Wu Yuanqing was also a little surprised that Wang Yi was able to remember his first and last name. However, he was only slightly stunned, and said calmly: "I heard that the chairman intends to build a railway between Guangxi and Yunnan to our Hanoi, I don't know if it is really true?" ”

Wang nodded and said, "The railway between Hanoi and the coastal areas has already been completed, and the railway with Cambodia and South Vietnam is also being intensified, and I do have plans to extend the railway to Guangxi and Yunnan. I wonder what you think? ”

When they heard this, all those present rejoiced. Now North Vietnam and the Great Qing Dynasty carry out freight exchanges, relying on sea transportation on the one hand, and river and land transportation on the other. However, shipping can only solve the transportation to the southeast coastal areas of the Qing Dynasty, and transportation in the direction of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan mainly relies on river transportation and land transportation. The cost of land transportation is too high, and the transportation volume is too small, such as the goods of large machinery, it is impossible to transport at all. And water transport is strictly affected by the season, which is obviously not enough to rely on. Therefore, the railway to Guangxi and Yunnan, and even Guizhou and Sichuan, has always been the most important problem to be solved by the five provinces in Southeast Asia. However, due to the obstruction of the Qing court and the local people, the matter has not progressed. As soon as the king appeared today, these people were all happy.

Wang Yi looked at them at this time and shook his head.

Han Shuqi saw Wang Yi's movements, and was a little puzzled, so he asked, "Sir, I don't know what you mean by shaking your head?" ”

"Don't think things too smoothly, now I can tell you that Cen Yuying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, has agreed to my railway plan, but there is no news from Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Liangguang, and Liu Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan."

Han Shuqi smiled at this time: "Sir, our trade in the Liangguang region can still be carried out by sea, and we are already grateful that you can open the door of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces for us." Sichuan is still far away from us, and the terrain is more complicated, so even if we were to build a railway, the investment would be a lot of money. ”

Wu Yuanqing also agreed at this time: "Once the railway leads to the provinces of the Great Qing Dynasty, we will have access to a market far larger than the five provinces in Southeast Asia, which is the most important thing for us." ”

"The people over there are not wealthy, and I think the market size of other products is still relatively limited except for consumer goods. Whether it's worth it or not, you have to think carefully. Wang Yi reminded. But everyone is now on the rise, although they all agree again and again, but Wang Yi also understands that they don't go to their hearts.

Later generations of China won the title of the world's factory due to its cheap labor costs. Before the emergence of a large number of middle classes, only those who really had the ability to consume were those who got rich first. Putting these aside, China's consumer market in later generations will eventually be much larger than that of the current Qing Dynasty, and with the current scale of the Qing Dynasty's wealthy, can it support the consumer goods provided by the five Southeast Asian provinces and become a market that can be operated? To be honest, Wang Yi is not optimistic. The eyes of big businessmen have always been on Europe and the United States, which is the place worth doing at the moment.

Wang Yi didn't say anything more disappointing, although he didn't think that the current Daqing market was worth developing, but it didn't mean that the people in front of him might not be able to make a piece of their own sky in the territory of Daqing. And as the covert leader of the Northeast Autonomous Region, all he had to do was to help these people achieve their goals while protecting their interests in China from persecution by the foreign powers and the Qing court, which was enough for the merchants of the five Southeast Asian provinces.

As for whether the business is successful or not, each depends on his ability and his destiny.

After the railway matter was discussed, another businessman stood up at this time, his name was Nguyen Phuc Anh, a son of the former Vietnamese royal family, not a root red Miao Zheng, but in the process of the former Vietnamese royal family's rebellion in South Vietnam, he was sober-minded, rejected the other party's rebellion, and instead took the initiative to report and expose it, and now he is also a very prestigious figure in Hanoi.

His request was somewhat sycophant, that is, everyone donated to Shen Yazhi's Red Heart Society, and all the proceeds were used for the relief of the torrential rain in South Vietnam, and the excess money was used for the construction of education in North Vietnam.

After this mention appeared, I don't know if the people present were really interested in public welfare, or purely to please the king of the Northeast in front of them, in short, the huge amount was completely beyond Wang Yi's expectations, so that the people in this group felt that they had donated too much.

Fortunately, Wang Yi also reciprocated the favor and distributed a part of the municipal construction projects in North Vietnam to these people present. Of course, the matter was nominally under the guidance of Governor Han Shuqi.

After chatting with these people, everyone came to the garden, and then the person in charge of the North Vietnam region of the Northeast Intelligence Bureau suddenly came, in front of Wang Yi, and said, "Chairman, there is a situation. ”

Now the old man's right ear is almost deaf, buzzing incessantly, very painful!
