Chapter 45: Trade City

However, he said that after Li Mai left, he opened the broken Junjie and went directly to the trade and logistics city.

It's time to live, the money is going out like flowing water, but the income is nothing, and he, the father, is facing the tension of war.

Speaking of Lahuo, it naturally has to do with the place he chose.

This trade and logistics city is a large-scale cargo distribution center, commodity wholesale base, bulk cargo delivery center, and agricultural product trade center built in the 90s, and is one of the many economic masterpieces left by Nangang in the era of Li Jianguo.

Located in the southwest suburbs, it covers an area of nearly 10,000 acres and has a total investment of 42.8 billion soft yuan. Both the scale of land occupation and the scale of investment are the first in the world. Therefore, some people call it "10,000 acres of city". It should be noted that this is also one of the few large projects in Nangang that has been continuously invested and constructed for more than 20 years.

Obviously, this is not unrelated to the main investors of the trade and logistics city.

Without exception, Li Mai saw the red "HS" logo at the top of the first office building of the trade city, which has a history of 20 years but has not lost its style, designed by the Red Design Institute.

It's really a city.

Thanks to the geographical location of Nangang and the convenient transportation in all directions, this commercial city is always rotating in 24 hours. Goods from the port are commercially accepted and delivered here, and goods from the mainland are accepted and delivered here. Obviously, because it is a port city, the only international port in the southwest and one of the largest commercial ports in South China, the import and export of goods accounts for the majority.

It is said that the city has produced hundreds of billionaires.

This is not much in the Southport area, which has already surpassed Rotterdam to become the world's largest port. But on top of the trade and logistics city, this amount is staggering.

The huge commercial city is also a place for the trading and distribution of various commodities, and it is naturally full of people of three religions and nine streams. Here you can see white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes carrying briefcases, and you can also see peasant uncles who come up from the fields to pull goods directly here. You can see police patrol cars constantly patrolling, and you can also see young people with thieves on the side of the road.

In the corner of the south gate of the trade city, hundreds of various cars, SUVs, and pickup trucks are parked there, and the drivers gather to play cards or smoke hookah around a hookah to brag, or three or five people gather together to discuss the current affairs and news released by CCAV last night.

That's right, it's the place where the largest number of blacks are concentrated in Jeonnamgang. Many people simply specialize in this business, and theoretically only one business license is needed to be a taxi driver in the real sense. Regarding the management of gangsters, the attitude of the Nangang Municipal Government is also as tolerant as ever, and some regulations have been issued to regulate behavior, unlike other cities that have to fight and kill at every turn. In this way, the black industry of Nangang became a model of health.

Or maybe this has a lot to do with the fact that the lord who ruled Nangang back then was talking and laughing on the altar at this moment.

During the day, this place is the first choice, but not everyone has the courage of Li Mai to dare to work here.

Li Mai parked the car, got out of the car with a cigarette and lit it, and heard several drivers on the side returning to history.

"I tell you, what is the real reason why Nangang is doing so well now!" a bucktooth driver waved his hand and said generously, "You say, there are so many ports along the coast, why has Nangang become the first in the world!"

Someone interjected: "If it weren't for Secretary Li, would we have such great development in Nangang!"

The bucktooth shook his head, "You're right, but not specific. One of my classmates was in the municipal administration, and I heard him say that when Nangang was striving for the world's largest port, his hands and feet were not very clean!"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused everyone's interest, and Li Mai couldn't help but lean on the car and listen.

"Behold, there are at least three ports on the west side, and even more on the east. If Nangang wants to be a brother, its scale must go up. Why are the goods coming from the southwest to the sea being transported here in a hurry, and why don't they go to the ports in the west? It's hundreds of kilometers closer to there!"

Someone couldn't help but interject: "We don't need to ask about this! Our Nangang is a natural excellent harbor, and the deepest channel is 50 meters, where can the ports in the west compare!"

The bucktooth shook his hand again, "No! the water is not deep enough to dig!"

The person who interjected retorted: "Do you know that the coastline of our harbor in Nangang is the longest in the world, three or four hundred kilometers, and it is said that it is more than excellent to be able to build hundreds of deep-water wharves!"

Buckteeth shook his head with an expression that you didn't know, "The conditions in Shantou are not bad, why can't you do it in Xiamen?"

The man was speechless.

Bucktooth glanced at everyone, enjoying this feeling very much, and deliberately suppressed his voice, he said, "I heard my classmate say that when Secretary Li was at that time, Nangang had some means. ”

"By what means?"

"Hurry up, you're fucking grinding!"

Luo Ya nodded a few times in a row, "I tell you that Secretary Li is not as simple as an ordinary secretary. His fingers stabbed the sky, "There are people on his altar." The above directly gave an order to those inland provinces, and all goods must be exported through Nangang!"

One sentence shocked everyone, which is indeed a surprising statement.

"Think about it, so many goods in so many places, all of them are exported here, can the scale not be large! Otherwise, no matter how big you are, it will be nonsense if you don't have goods. Bucktooth took a hard puff of his cigarette in satisfaction.

"Who runs Shuangchuan?"

A man in a suit with a big back walked over from the door, crossed his waist and held his beer belly and shouted in his throat.

Suddenly, the braggart drivers all stood up.

"How much can we give?" said Bucktooth.

The black drivers have long formed a tacit understanding, when a guest comes, someone will come forward to communicate, and then let the guest choose, or the drivers will arrange their own internally. Anyway, those who live with this will never go home empty-handed. Because of the relative estimation of personnel, it is difficult for newcomers to blend in, and in fact, these drivers are a relatively loose group. Unless you are introduced by an acquaintance, you will have the opportunity to work here.

"Three hundred!"

The man in the suit with the big back held out three fingers.

Bucktooth smiled and said, "Boss, you haven't run Shuangchuan, have you?"

"What do you mean. The man in the suit with the big back said.

"From here to Shuangchuan, it usually costs five hundred yuan. Bucktooth pointed to the black drivers who were gathered in several small pieces, "If you don't believe it, no one will go to four hundred, let alone three hundred." ”

The man in the suit with the big back frowned, "I haven't called a car to run, there are two more guests today, and I can't sit in the car, so it's a big deal to squeeze it." That's it, who's going to go for three hundred?"

Bucktooth laughed, the drivers laughed too, and no one paid attention to him, and he began to brag about his again.

"I'll go!"

Coldly, a voice came out.

Li Mai walked over, smiled and said, "It's Shuangchuan County, I'll go for three hundred." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, it's the county seat!" said the man in the suit with a big back.

"Done, let's go. ”

As he spoke, Li Mai turned his head and was about to get into the car, but the drivers slowly surrounded him.

When the man in the suit saw this formation, the fool knew what they were going to do, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. But the seven or eight drivers did not run for him, but slowly surrounded Li Mai in front of the front of the car.

Just now, they saw that although Li Mai was dressed simply, he had a kind of temperament all over his body, and he felt that he was not pulling live, so he didn't care. This will see, oh, it is actually a peer who came to grab the cake. That's not going to work.

"Boy, how about the first day of this business?" said the bucktooth, who seemed to be the more authoritative among the drivers, standing in front, raising his eyebrows and gritting his toothpick.

Li Mai smiled faintly and glanced at them, "What, you don't care if you don't have enough money, do you break the law?"

"Looks like you don't know the rules. Bucktooth's face was cold, "Drive your car and get out of here immediately." Isn't everyone in the city of 10,000 acres able to live with this, and no one sues you?"

Li Mai smiled again: "I care about your 10,000 acres of land in 10,000 acres of land, I think I'll pull it if I do it." What, is there a problem?"

"Brother Guang, this kid is deliberately making trouble!" Fang just interjected two sentences in a row, and the thin driver pointed at Li Mai with his hand.

The bucktooth spit out the toothpick and took the hookah in the driver's hand next to him.

The hookah is a traditional smoking tool in Lingnan, which is actually a bamboo tube, plugged into a pipe and filled with water, and is a slender teapot when pressed away, smoked from the opening, and the smoke will be filtered by the water before reaching the lungs.

This thing is more than 30 centimeters short, and the long one is a meter long, usually as thick as the mouth of a bowl.

At this time, Bucktooth was holding a long hookah in his hand.

"Boy, look at your dog-like appearance, you don't look like a bad person, hurry up and drive your car out of here, don't fucking see the money and die. Bucktooth cushioned the hookah in his hand.

Li Mai glanced at the hookah, and then said: "The distance from here to Shuangchuan County is 100 kilometers, the price is about 300, and you will need 500 for a mouth, and it is you who break the rules." ”

"Oh my cāo, grandson, you're fucking uncomfortable, aren't you! Fuck him!" Bucktooth stopped talking nonsense, and swept over the hookah.

It had been soaked in water for many years, and it had been polished by the fat sweat that overflowed from the hands of so many people, and it was stronger than a freshly cut bamboo tube. If it is done on a person, it will be a proper internal injury.

The hookah is a common weapon used in local street warfare, and it can be found everywhere, and it is easier to operate than a bench, and it is a long weapon compared to a brick. Again, it's not that you can't find bricks near the construction site. But you can see hookahs even in five-star hotels.

Li Mai still had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, watching the hookah smash into his head......
