Out of "politeness", Vice Governor Han arranged for comrades from the Economic Commission to accompany Bai Shuo and his party on inspections. However, Bai Shuo still seemed to have no interest in other places, so comrades from the Economic and Information Bureau had to accompany Bai Shuo and his party.
Huai'an County and Nanshui Town. As soon as he left Yongcheng and contacted the leaders of Bagui Province, Bai Shuo arranged for the registration of "Blue Ocean Capital". Although he said it casually, he thought of Liang Ying returning to Hong Kong Island University.
Before flexing my muscles, I also registered a Ruibo Investment. Why not use Blue Ocean Capital as a platform for my next move?
In Huai'an County, under the arrangements of the comrades from the Provincial and Municipal Economic and Information Bureau, all inspection matters were relatively smooth, but it was nothing more than meetings and meals. Because there is really nothing remarkable about Huai'an County.
The place has no pillar industries and no emerging economy. It is said that the county seat is far inferior to the current Baijia Town. Once we leave the county seat, the conditions are even worse. Along the way, we have experienced the fatigue of traveling and horses, and we have seen many desolate areas.
, Cao Ancai kept complaining: "Brother Geng, this is the place you said you wanted to invest in. Is this ghost place really so charming?" Bai Shuo didn't bother to explain to him, and just closed his eyes to rest.
, but the road was indeed too bumpy, and the condition of the traffic vehicles was also very poor, making it impossible for people to calm down. They had no choice but to continue listening to Cao An's nagging. The comrades of the Economic Committee also lost their temper due to the bumps along the way. I heard that Bai Bai
It was unbelievable that Shuo and the others were really planning to invest here. One of the comrades named Liu couldn't help but told the truth to Bai Shuo and the others: In fact, the resources here are quite rich, and the government has not considered developing it, but once
Several projects coordinated by the province and city were driven away by local residents before they were officially settled. Some people who came to do business from other places in various towns were beaten, their shops were smashed, and their belongings were smashed within a month or two.
After being robbed, only a few people can truly integrate into the local people. Mentioning the bumpy road conditions, this comrade became even more angry. The government once thought of repairing the road to make it easier for everyone to enter and exit, but the local
But people said that the road construction was too noisy and would disturb the land gods. They also said that the road construction destroyed the local feng shui, so they just beat away all the road construction workers.
Cao An sighed: "I didn't expect people here to be so xenophobic..."
"Xenophobia is nothing. Several villages and towns often fight among themselves even if they don't agree with each other. Last time, two people from Beicun and Beishui Town had a conflict over a small matter, and it eventually turned into a group fight involving hundreds of people from both places.
, the government dispatched more than 300 police officers, and it took three days to barely suppress the matter. In the end, seven or eight people died, and countless others were injured."
Cao An was horrified when he heard this: "The people here are really fierce. No wonder I heard that there used to be wolf soldiers in Bagui who were extremely fierce and invincible. During the eight-year war of resistance, the Bagui soldiers beat the Japanese pirates to shit. I think most of the soldiers came from these places."
Bar."
Bai Shuo smiled and said: "I don't think it's that scary. Whether they are wolf soldiers or anti-Japanese soldiers, many times in history, these people still have national justice and a passion to protect their homes and country. Although such people are fierce in their bones,
Some, but not too bad. I believe everyone can still have something to say."
While they were talking, the car suddenly braked suddenly, shaking everyone upside down. When everyone got out of the car, they saw that there were a few locals blocking the car's direction. They saw that the car was coming from out of town and wanted to collect it.
For travel expenses, Comrade Liu took the two of them over to negotiate and told them that these were government vehicles and they were going to several towns for inspection. However, the other party still ignored them. They even beat Comrade Liu and the three of them back when they disagreed. At this time,
Cao An looked at Bai Shuo and asked, "Brother Shuo, do you really not need to take back what you just said?"
Bai Shuo didn't quite understand. The last time he came here alone, he didn't feel how fierce and unreasonable the locals were. He didn't understand why it became difficult to move even when accompanied by government personnel this time. It seemed that he was everywhere after leaving the scene.
It was the feeling of being a Japanese. When Comrade Liu returned to the car in disgrace, he talked with Bai Shuo for a long time, and finally Bai Shuo understood what he meant: As a government worker, I will definitely not give in to these people, and this should not happen.
Expenses must not be tolerated. However, the situation in the local area is like this. Nothing extreme has happened now. It is not convenient to notify the public security organs or report to superiors. It would not be good to make the matter bigger. So, should their suggestions be changed?
For inspections of individual places, it is even better to just go back to the county town for two days and forget it. Bai Shuo came here naturally not for fun, so he immediately asked how far it was from Nanshui Town, and learned that it was not very far.
Afterwards, Bai Shuo called Xue Manlin. Before coming here, Bai Shuo had already made an appointment with Manlin. In this situation, it seemed that Manlin could only find a solution.
The moment Xue Manlin appeared, Cao An's eyes immediately lit up: "Brother Shuo, I never thought that such a decent girl could exist in such a remote place. Tell me honestly how you discovered this simple pearl."
"I said you only have dirty thoughts when you see beautiful women in your mind?" Bai Shuo angrily scolded Cao An, and then unconsciously glanced at Anna. Then Bai Shuo informed the zf's comrades
Everyone, they can go back, and Xue Manlin will be in charge of the rest of the trip. The ZF staff had long wanted to leave this barren place, and after showing reluctant concern, they disappeared in a flash.
Under the leadership of Man Lin, Bai Shuo and his party did not encounter any obstacles. They could reach Nanshui Town by walking a few miles. Along the way, Cao An intentionally or unintentionally surrounded Man Lin and asked questions, expressing himself from time to time.
He is Bai Shuo's best brother and wants to close the distance between them. Seeing how cute the little girl is, Cao An also talks to Bai Shuo in half-baked English, praising how cute and well-behaved the little girl Man Lin is. Of course, this so-called cuteness
He Guaiqiao showed the unspeakable admiration of a man for a woman. But in the end, Bai Shuo told Cao An in English: "Manlin is a recent graduate. I think she can understand everything you say."
Cao An looked at Xue Manlin in surprise. Manlin looked fierce at this moment and stared at Cao An with a pair of copper bell-like eyes: "Brother, do you still think I am well-behaved?" Cao An scolded Bai Shuoyi in his heart.
After thinking about it for a long time, I quickly recalled what I said. Fortunately, it was not too explicit. I immediately begged for mercy: "Auntie, I really think you are a sincere and cute little girl. I really don't mean anything else. You
Don't be misled by that boy Bai Shuo..." Bai Shuo also said at this time: "Manlin, this fat guy always gets angry when he sees a pretty girl, but he actually has nothing in mind, so don't argue with him."
Xue Manlin then turned around and said with a smile: "Brother Bai Shuo, I was joking with him. He complimented me on my beauty and cuteness, but I never get angry."
After a while, a group of buildings appeared in front of them. Nanshui Town finally arrived. As soon as they entered the town, Cao An and others were immediately attracted by the classical scenery here. "Brother Shuo, this place has such an original charm. If only this place could
If we move back to the capital of Shu, we can easily kill places like Kuanzhai Alley, Anren, and Pingle. If we can develop tourism, I believe many people will be willing to come and visit."
"If it is really developed into a tourist attraction, the commercial atmosphere will become more and more intense, and this peace will no longer exist." Bai Shuo replied.
"Who outsiders dare to come here and use their residence for tourism? Are you thinking too much?" Anna, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but speak.
Bai Shuo was stunned and looked at Xue Manlin. Manlin also heard what they said, so she said: "It's not easy for outsiders to do business here. It's relatively easy to get smashed or something."
, it is said that 10 years ago, a few people relied on some forces above to come and suppress the villagers and occupy the territory. The two leaders finally lost their heads inexplicably one night. This incident was a big deal at the time. It is said that there were
The leaders above were furious and demanded an in-depth investigation, but after a year of investigation, nothing was done."
But when Bai Shuo and the others were all shocked, Man Lin changed the subject again: "But, if you want to come here, these things shouldn't happen."
When Bai Shuo heard this, he quickly asked the reason. It turned out that Xue Manlin's father was a powerful figure in Nanshui Town, and he was quite prestigious in the surrounding towns. As long as Manlin persuaded her father to help Bai Shuo and the others, it would be
It will definitely give them a firm foothold. Bai Shuo then sighed, it turns out that his netizen has such great energy. It's no wonder that when he came here last time, with Man Lin's company, he was able to travel without any hindrance and go wherever he went.
I could feel people's enthusiasm. Just when Bai Shuo was feeling happy, Xue Manlin poured cold water on her: "But, if you want to come here to play, or even do some small business, that's fine. But I just heard
What you mean is that what needs to be done is huge and will even affect the residents of every village and town, so there are still some problems."
"What's the problem?" Cao An asked eagerly.
Man Lin then said: "If the impact is too great and the scope is too broad, it will inevitably arouse resistance from most people. My dad is not omnipotent. Also, these places are divided into different towns and villages.
Although our Nanshui area is quite prestigious, it is not the strongest. Even if I can convince my father to support you, I cannot guarantee whether other stronger forces will agree with you."
At this time, Bai Shuo discovered that the situation here was far from as simple as he thought. After further understanding, he realized that in this southern area, there are a total of two counties, eight towns, seventeen villages, and twenty-nine villages. Between these villages and towns
Those who are close together and those who are related by blood unite to form a force. There are four major forces in total, and the largest one is the force in La'an Town. It is said that although La'an has a small territory and a small population
, but it is closer to the South Vietnam country, and has some smuggling and other business dealings with South Vietnam all year round, gradually forming several gang-related teams, which few surrounding villages and towns dare to provoke. The second is Nan'an Town, the territory
It is the largest and most populous. People from La'an do not dare to have conflicts with Nan'an Town easily. The third place is Huai'an Town. This area is close to the two county towns. The villages are relatively rich, but
It is also more civilized. Although its power is not weak, it is also the most looked down upon among many villages, because everyone thinks that their people are impure. The fourth ranked is Xiantang Town, which is the power of Qinzhou County.
Since this place is also close to the sea, most of the residents go to the sea to catch fish and clean themselves, and the population gathers in large numbers. In addition to these four major forces, there are also some scattered small forces. However, these forces are very united when dealing with the outside world.
, As for internal fights, they actually rarely happen. It is not like Comrade Liu, the economic committee member, said that everyone usually does not interfere with the river, and the residents live in peace with each other without distinguishing between each other.
While talking, Man Lin had already brought Bai Shuo and the others to an inn. The conditions of the inn were relatively simple, but still clean and tidy. Since there were not enough rooms in the inn, there were only two rooms left, so Bai Shuo planned to let Anna stay alone.
In one room, I was jostling with Cao An and Zhao Yong. There was a slightly larger room. The room was simply divided into inner and outer rooms with curtains, and each had a bed. Cao An immediately called: "Brother Shuo, you sleep alone."
Zhao Yong and I share a bed."
At this time, Anna also came over from another room. When she saw this, she said: "That room also has two beds. How about you, Cao An and Zhao Yong, go over there and sleep on a bed each, so it's not crowded. I'll sleep in the back room here."
, Bai Shuo, you sleep outside."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent for a while, and then Cao An suddenly pushed Zhao Yong out: "Well, yes, this will stop the crowding. Come on, Zhao Yong, let's move the things to that room." Zhao Yong has not responded yet.
Come over, Cao An pushed you out of the house. Manlin on the side looked at Anna and then at Bai Shuo with strange eyes: "Um, you all clean up first, I'll wait for you in the lobby downstairs."
Also exited the room.
Bai Shuo smiled awkwardly and said to Anna: "Haha, what's wrong with these people, it's weird..."
"What's so strange? I just think you and I have something." Anna said coldly. Bai Shuo wanted to ease the embarrassment, but he didn't expect Anna to come so directly, which made Bai Shuo panic.
Suddenly, Anna suddenly approached Bai Shuo and forced Bai Shuo to the wall, and then looked at Bai Shuo from a very close distance. At this time, Bai Shuo's heart tightened, what's going on, was he knocked against by Anna?
?The two of them were so close, Bai Shuo could completely smell Anna's body fragrance, and they could even feel each other's breath.
"Do you have any dirty thoughts about me?" Anna asked coldly.
"Well, of course... of course not!" Bai Shuo said hesitantly. In fact, what he really thought in his heart was: Damn, it's abnormal for a big beauty to stick close to her at such an ambiguous distance and not have any thoughts.
"Then what do you have to be afraid of? What do you care about what other people think?" Anna then distanced herself from Bai Shuo, and then went straight to the back room separated by a curtain to pack up.
Bai Shuo's accelerating heartbeat had not slowed down yet, and there seemed to be a faint scent lingering around him. After a while, he said he was going to Cao An's place to have a look, and ran away in embarrassment.
