Lu Qiang sensed everyone's doubts, and saw that the mayor Li Siyuan didn't mean to explain, so he proudly showed off; "I was fortunate enough to know about this one step in advance, the Jinshuihe development plan encourages private capital participation, gives a lot of incentives, and businessmen with huge investments can even name towns with surnames, such as Lujia Town, what do you think of this name?"

Lujia Town?

To be honest, this is really tempting for the Chinese people who have always had a strong family complex!

A person, a family, represents a city, which makes people's hearts pound.

Why is it called Lujia Town? Can't it be called Zhaojiazhen and Majiazhen, or simply call it Mike Town, this is so powerful!

"The Jinshui River Basin Development Plan, which encourages private capital to participate, is the third largest development plan presided over by the owner of the Red Fort after the two major development plans of the Qingshui River and the northern part of Queensland, aiming to build Shangri-La into a world-class grain production base, and expand the plantations of natural rubber forests, sugar, tobacco and other plantations on a large scale for full development and utilization." Li Siyuan looked around at everyone and continued with a calm expression;

"No work, no wealth, no farming, no stability.

Shangri-La's natural environment is suitable for the development of agricultural bases and tropical cash crop plantations, so the new Jinshui River Basin Development Plan has been highly valued by the owners of the Red Fort, and preferential measures have been introduced to encourage the participation of all private forces.

You are all witnesses and beneficiaries of the great development of Qingdao Town, and you know that it is not difficult to build a city out of thin air driven by immigration and capital, which contains countless opportunities, and even the opportunity to go down in history.

If you have a dream, you might as well give it a try. ”

"Brother Siyuan, we know that you are about to become the director of the Koi Mining Bureau, and this position does not seem to be responsible for the development of the Jinshui River Basin?"

"This is not a contradiction, my predecessor Director Nangong Yunfei has taken up a new position, I hope you can help him publicize the Jinshui River Basin development project more, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, seeing that the new year is coming, now everything is ready, only a starting gun is owed."

"Qingdao Town is the foundation of Master Li, how can you be willing to let people dig into the corners?"

"That's a mistake!"

Li Siyuan shook his head, and said to everyone with a straight expression; "Don't say anything about the foundation of the place, it will make people laugh when you say it, I, Li Siyuan, have served in Qingdao Town for four and a half years, and I have personally built a barren land into a prosperous industrial town.

The people present were gossiping, and Li Siyuan diverted the topic and said;

"Longmen Town, which is under the jurisdiction of the Koi Mining Bureau, is close to the site of the development of the Jinshui River Basin, and there are few close economic exchanges between the two places.

These words made everyone's hearts moved, but Old Mike's words extinguished everyone's enthusiasm; "What are you doing running so far, who is Qingdao Town's big cause thrown away?"

Yes, all of us here today are wealthy, not only own private ranches in the surrounding areas of Qingdao Town, but also own a variety of shares in Qingdao Port, plus some part-time investments, the focus of the business is in Qingdao Town.

As a key town in the development of northern Queensland, Qingdao Town has a bright future that is much stronger than the "Qingshui River Basin Development Project" in Rauschzi. Why bother to sacrifice the basics...... Silly, isn't it?

Among these people, Old Mike's private ranch is the closest to Qingdao Town, only seven or eight kilometers away, and according to the current thriving development trend, it will not take a few years to affect his private ranch.

Today, the vegetable and non-staple food production base co-founded by several people is mainly located in Mack Ranch, which is responsible for nearly half of the supply of vegetables, fruits and milk in Qingdao Town, and can make a stable profit of tens of thousands of pounds throughout the year.

Zhao Qishan is the director and deputy general manager of Qingdao Port Company, and Lao Mike is also a director of the company.

Mr. Mak focused on managing the food base, and Mr. Malimin invested in a small steamship company that transported coal on inland rivers and was navigable on seasonal rivers for about eight months a year.

Everyone has their own careers, Lao Mike especially doesn't want Zhao Qishan and Mai Guangtian to be moved, abandon his wife and children to go to a strange area to work hard, and now they are all local gentry with a lot of money, there is no need to play so risky.

The wine is gone, and everyone returns happy.

The mayor of the town, Li Siyuan, is about to take up his new post, and everyone will take turns to serve him.

Reminiscing about the past

Even the most imaginative people would not dare to imagine that Qingdao Town could develop to the level of prosperity it is today.

Especially in the past two years, it has been like a dream, the town has undergone rapid changes, wide and flat asphalt roads, bright street lamps and shiny buildings along the street, bustling crowds and rows of shops, just like those new southern towns, full of life and vitality.

In the distance, on the field

Thick black smoke rises from a dozen tall chimneys, the industrial power of the coking coal plant, and many more are being built, giving new hope.

on the pier

Lu Qiang followed the departing Li Siyuan to board the passenger ship, he decided to follow the footsteps of his dream, and did not hesitate to sell his shares in the port authority and the mansion in Qingdao Town, these assets that were originally worth only more than 2,000 pounds were now sold for 18,000 pounds, a 9-fold increase in more than two years.

Fortunately, Lu Qiang finally retained his private ranch, and now the value of the ranch has skyrocketed more than ten times, as long as he is willing to sell, someone can buy it with a lot of gold and silver at any time.

Qingdao Town's leading figures, as well as Daddy Mac, Zhao Qishan, Ma Weimin, and Mai Guangtian, all came to the dock to see them off.

Lu Qiang is not alone now, there are 30 housekeepers and fellow villagers who followed him to Longmen Town, as well as a wife, Malay maids, bodyguards and gunmen, all of which add up to nearly 50 people.

As for the original wife and children, they stayed in the private ranch in Qingdao Town to live safely, and a few brothers took care of them safely, which can be regarded as a way out.

on passenger liners

Lu Qiang waved his hand vigorously at the familiar faces, a tragic feeling in his heart gripped his whole body, and tears blurred his eyes in an instant.

He raised his head in disguise and blinked, not wanting his inner weakness to be seen by his subordinates, and turned around and walked back to the cabin of the passenger ship; "Mother-in-law and mother have nothing to see off, it's a waste of time."

With a thud, the hatch slammed shut.

In a crowd of send-off people on the dock, Zhao Qishan was dressed in an elegant dark gown, holding a precious cane carved with rubies and ivory, and his wife, Susan, stood next to him in a light-colored French court-style dress, holding his arm.

The passenger ship slowly left the dock and headed for the clear blue sea in the distance. The people who saw them off waved their arms to express their reluctance.

"Qishan, your brother Lu Qiang has left, do you think it is a responsible man's behavior for him to abandon his family and children to pursue his dreams?"

"Everyone has his own aspirations, and we can only bless him."

"Oh...... Does this also include your contribution to buy Lu Qiang's shares in the terminal? ”

"Susan, I think you seem to have misunderstood, I gave a fair price for Lu Qiang's terminal shares, as the director and deputy general manager of Qingdao Port Terminal, I can only have further say if I get more shares, and it is possible to compete for executive director."

"It seems to cast a layer of money over your friendship, which feels awkward and very worrying," said Susan, who was still in high spirits.

"My dear wife, we will naturally solve the things that belong to men, the important thing is that we never give up, and always stay together to run a warm family," Zhao Qishan patted lightly, holding the crooked hand of his arm, and said in a gentle and tough tone; "I bought Lu Qiang's shares in the port, Ma Limin bought Lu Qiang's mansion and shop, Mai Guangtian took over the logistics, we are using actions to support Lu Qiang to realize his dreams, this is how we get along, Lu Qiang is an adult, he is not a fool who knows what he is doing, and he must be responsible for his actions, and he doesn't need others to worry about him."

"I know...... I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried. ”

"You women are always like that." Zhao Qishan frowned, turned around and left the dock with the flow of people.

This wharf is the passenger terminal where the passenger ship docks, and half of the new station facilities are being built on the wharf, and you can see the passenger waiting hall and ticket station room, boiler room and ticket gate facilities covering an area of more than two acres.

After all are built

The port of Qingdao leads to the passenger routes between the cities of the county, and the entry and exit of the port must pass through this passenger wharf, where the RCMP has a police station, which is a bayonet post under public security control.

The freight yard is separated from the terminal terminal, and there is a special terminal for transporting coal ore, as well as a general cargo terminal, including a large warehouse area behind the terminal, all of which belong to the Qingdao Port Company.

The wharf storage area is divided into two types: open-air storage yard and warehouse area, most of which have been leased out, and some trading companies lease one or several warehouses and one or several open-air storage yards, and pay regular fees every quarter.

From the reservoir area to the wharf, there is a two-way rail flat car passing, which is a railroad like a railway, 4 steel wheels are erected on the rails, and the top is a large flat car made of iron shelves and thick wooden boards, which can stack goods and reduce the consumption of manpower transportation.

This kind of car is unpowered, can be pushed by manpower, can also be pulled by animal power, belongs to a kind of terminal freight facilities.

There are many similar freight facilities, such as conveyor belt trucks, long pole cranes, etc., but all use is subject to payment.

Therefore, the most of the coolies on the dock are still coolie porters, and there are hundreds or thousands of people at every turn, breeding all kinds of groups and gangs, which are more troublesome to manage.
