We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Yantai Port was designated as a trading port as early as 1861. In 1973, according to the above instructions to "change the port within three years", Yantai Port prepared to carry out a large-scale port expansion.

Expansion is possible, but where the money comes from is a question.

Especially after the reform and opening up, in order to better seize the good opportunities for economic development, the port expansion plan has been changed again and again, which has made the funding gap more serious.

In 1986, the Far East Port Group and the Shandong Port Group, which had completed their upgrade and integration, jointly established the Yantai Port Group. The Far East Port Group acquired 2.8% of the shares of the Yantai Port Group for HK$ million, thus solving the funding problem of Yantai Port.

The expansion plan of Yantai Port was accelerated with the injection of a large amount of capital. After the completion of the first and second phases of the project, there will be a total of 12 deep-water berths. The first phase of the project was completed and put into use in 1988, and the second phase of the project will be completed in 1991.

However, this is not the point. In order to cope with the development trend of large-scale ships worldwide, the third phase of the project is scheduled to be launched in 1993.

在未来的8年时间内，建设水深14米、16米、18米、20米的泊位各两个。

At the dock, as one of the busiest ports in Taiwan, Yantai Port has never lacked traffic.

Port managers, vendors, crew members, migrant workers, and dock workers filled the outskirts of the huge port, and some places were so crowded that they were packed with people.

However, no matter how crowded the crowds or how many cars there were, there was no congestion in the entire terminal.

Although there is still much work to be done by the personnel dispatched by Far East Ports Group and much standardization work to be done, the governance has been good so far. After all, port management is an experience that Hong Kong Island companies have a lot of experience in.

The container terminal area is relatively quiet. Unlike the berths where passenger ships and fishing boats are docked, mechanized operations have been achieved here.

"Master, Lu Baopi is such a dog. He won't even let me eat. How can I have the energy to work if I'm not full?"

A forklift loaded the last container onto a truck nearby. A young man who jumped off the forklift and a middle-aged man who was waiting nearby complained.

"Well, there's nothing Boss Lu can do. It's the customer's fault for making him anxious."

A glance at the Seagull watch on his wrist aroused the boy's envy.

"It's not too late now. It's just past ten o'clock, which is just right for having breakfast and lunch together."

The middle-aged man looked at the young man with a hint of pity in his expression.

"I think it's not a good idea for you to always use your earnings to subsidize your elder brother. Your elder brother is a college student, which is good, but he can't just sit there and work and rely on you.

These days, there are only so many positions in state-owned enterprises, and each person is assigned a position. How long will it take to get a job?

Even if he joins a state-owned enterprise, so what? Can his salary be as high as yours? I think your elder brother is too ambitious and cannot keep his feet on the ground."

The young man's name is Gu Hongjun. Besides his parents, he has an older brother and a younger sister.

My brother is a child of destiny, a college student from the countryside. Twenty or thirty years ago, this would definitely be considered a literary genius and he would be the envy of the villagers.

But now, I can only say that I have narrowed my own path.

After graduation, I didn't work and just stayed at home waiting for assignment. I also had to buy various books. My parents were farmers and they didn't have so much money, so the second son, Gu Hongjun, needed help.

Otherwise, with the current monthly salary of more than 600 yuan, how could the Red Army not be able to afford a watch?

"We are all brothers, so it is only right that we give each other some relief every month.

And not just because of this, I am saving money now and planning to get married."

"How much does it cost?"

It doesn't cost much to marry a wife in the countryside, and Gu Hongjun had no shortage of girls with his income.

"I want to find a city girl."

"You want to buy a house in the city?" The middle-aged man said seriously, "Do you know how much it costs?"

If a rural guy who doesn't have a formal job wants to marry a city girl, having an apartment is a must.

As early as 1986, Yantai was designated as a pilot city for housing system reform.

In 1988, the first batch of commercial housing under the housing reform experiment began to be sold, and there were quite a few buyers.

"Aren't they going to launch the housing loan business now? I have some savings now, so it will be enough for us to save up in two years."

The middle-aged man didn't understand this aspect very well. Looking at this usually filial apprentice, the sonless middle-aged man looked at the other person and then at his watch.

"When you get married, I will give you a Seagull watch."

"Really?" Gu Hongjun stopped walking happily and looked at his master expectantly, afraid that he had heard it wrong.

Just last year, Si Yahui Group acquired half of Tianjin Haiou’s shares.

It not only brought the Swiss machining center to the Seagull Group, but also the island country's CNC equipment and a large number of scientific researchers.

Moreover, the joining of the Siyahui Group has made Sea-Gull watches even more fashionable, and now it has opened stores in Hong Kong Island and Macau.

This is the power of the brand. Seagull has now become synonymous with high-end domestic products. Having a Seagull watch on hand makes young people feel prestigious.

Especially the Ocean series, which was launched not long ago, is highly praised for its fashionable design, but the price is not cheap either, the cheapest one costs thousands of yuan.

"Is this true? I'll give you a piece of the Ocean series then."

An apprentice is half a son. This concept is still very strong nowadays. Many apprentices nowadays can be supported in old age.

"Thank you, Master. Today I will treat you to your favorite soup dumplings."

Yantai soup dumplings are very famous and are one of the favorite foods of Yantai people.

"Okay, speaking of soup dumplings, I don't know why you like the ones with sea urchin filling so much."

In this day and age, sea urchins are the food of the poor.

Not many people eat sea urchins nowadays because they are difficult to handle and the internal organs taste bitter if not handled properly.

Fishermen would be very angry if sea urchins got caught in their nets while out at sea, because they are full of thorns and it is difficult to remove the nets.

Generally speaking, most of the sea urchins caught by fishermen are smashed to pieces, mainly because the market demand is too low and there are too many sea urchins.

So the stuffing with sea urchin is the cheapest. I used to think that Gu Hongjun ate sea urchin stuffing because it was cheap, but later I found out that he really liked it.

Gu Hongjun may not know that the cheap sea urchins he likes to eat will soon not be cheap anymore, and will gradually become so expensive that he will not be willing to eat them.

Because this thing has been set eyes on by Luo Nianzhong, he plans to export it to the island country.

The reason why sea urchins are expensive in China is because rich people know that the Japanese like to follow suit, and as more people eat them, the price naturally becomes more expensive.

In addition to sea urchins, there are many other seafoods that are eaten as "luxury goods", including mantis shrimp, peeling fish, sea cucumber, and shrimp monster. The most famous one is definitely lobster, which was previously eaten by slaves.

After leaving Lanzhou, Luo Nianzhong came to Yantai. Looking at the trucks constantly coming in and out of the port and the busy crowds, he felt unhappy.

What could be seen from the accompanying local leaders and the management of Yantai Port was joy. After all, the port business was busy and ships could be seen lined up on the sea, looking like they were making a fortune every day. However, Luo Nianzhong still felt that it was too slow.

The situation of the Polar Bear is becoming more and more out of control. Luo Nianzhong can’t control other things, but the people of Da Mao and Er Mao cannot starve, and at least the supported forces cannot cause trouble.

Therefore, in the next few years, the supply of various foods and textiles to Damao and Ermao must be increased.

A hole has now been opened in Vladivostok, and the amount of trade entering and leaving this closed port every day is immeasurable, which has also benefited all forces in the entire Far East.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ivankov has woven a huge web of interests around everyone, everyone.

"The port construction must be accelerated and the third phase of the project must be launched within two years."

After the completion of the second phase of the project next year, the shortage of berths will be alleviated a lot, but it will not last too long.

You should know that Yantai Port is not only used by Mao Zedong and South Korea. Many ships from the entire island nation of South Korea use it as a transit station. Coupled with the increase in trade with these two countries, the berths at Yantai Port are far from enough.

Yantai Port and Dalian Port are domestic hubs in the entire Northeast Asia, and there is no other choice.

“Is it too hasty? Regarding funding…

Furthermore, the second phase will be completed soon, and we estimate that there will be no problems with the six newly added berths within ten years."

The head of Yantai Port Group, the general manager sent by the Shandong provincial government, glanced at the Shandong provincial and local officials and expressed his thoughts.

"What do you think? On what basis?"

Luo Nianzhong didn't want to waste time arguing with this kind of person. He understood that the other party was not a professional manager, and the most important thing for him was to avoid making mistakes.

"If you are short of funds, you can borrow money. If no bank here is willing to lend, you can contact Far Eastern Bank."

Luo Nianzhong's words were not in a negotiating tone, but more like an order. He had no intention of discussing with the officials of Shandong Province at all.

If this happened to other businessmen, even someone like Mr. Wang, you wouldn't be so disrespectful.

It may not be a problem now, but there will definitely be trouble if there is a chance.

But Luo Nianzhong is different. Not to mention himself, many senior officials in the Far East Department can reach the ears of the top officials, and several of them are Rabbit's economic advisors.

Of course, they all knew that Luo Nianzhong must have a reason for doing this, and not everyone was like this general manager.

The Yantai prefect's eyes lit up when he heard Luo Nianzhong's words, and he asked politely, "Does Luo Nianzhong have more business to benefit the people of our city?"

There is nothing wrong in saying that it brings benefits. The number of jobs created by the entire Far East Group for Yantai is unmatched by any other company.

"We don't have much new business, but we need to expand our current business, and our production capacity must be increased by at least two to three times."

How much business does Luo Nianzhong have in Yantai? The only business that does not require any technical skills is the canned food business.

Shandong Province is a major fruit-producing province, and its fruit output is second only to western Guangxi.

There are apples and Laiyang pears from Yantai, strawberries and Feicheng peaches from Rushan, but there are many more varieties of fruits in Shandong Province than just these.

Not only fruits, Shandong Province, as a large coastal province, is also extremely rich in seafood, and the raw materials for canned fish can be obtained directly nearby.

That is why Dalian Port and Yantai Port are said to be the hubs of the entire Northeast Asia. Both places are backed by major agricultural provinces, are close to the sea, are not far from Vladivostok, and have developed shipping.

In fact, if we talk about proximity, land transportation is the closest, but transportation is a problem.

Your transportation to Vladivostok is convenient, but the raw materials do not need to be transported to you.

Therefore, in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces, Luo Nianzhong’s layout is vodka. The raw materials can be obtained locally, while the canned goods are placed in Liaoning and Shandong provinces.

In just two years, Yantai achieved rapid GDP growth by relying on one canning factory after another.

The current Shandong Province is located below Qindao Island, and the provincial capital is right under its feet.

In Yantai, there are not only canning factories throughout the city and its surrounding areas, but also countless family workshops. In many villages and towns, even every household makes canned food.

The canned goods they make are all shipped to Polar Bear, and although they are also tested, they are not as strict as those ordered by ParknShop supermarkets.

For polar bears, why would they care about hygiene when they can’t even get food? As long as it doesn’t kill people, it’s fine. In this turbulent situation, who has the time and the courage to investigate?

So when the Yantai prefect heard Luo Nianzhong say that the production capacity would be expanded by at least two to three times, he took a deep breath.

This is not just a canned food business. Are you affected if you grow fruits? Do you need more fertilizers for more land? Do you need to use modern agricultural machinery to consider costs?

Should the transportation industry also grow? Should we spend money now? So, as long as one industry explodes, multiple industries will prosper.

And there are new businesses. It’s not that there aren’t many new businesses.

"I wonder what the new business Mr. Luo is talking about is?"

"Sea urchin?" What kind of business is this? How much is this thing worth?

Luo Nianzhong didn’t know how much it was worth, but it was certain that the current profit was definitely not small.

"I heard that not many people eat sea urchins, and fishermen use them to paint the ground.

I plan to ask Deep Sea Fishing to buy these sea urchins. Even if there are too many, it will increase the income for the fishermen."

"Well, thank you, Mr. Luo." Although it is not a big business, it can still drive many industries like canned food.

Not only the Yantai prefect, but also the director of the Shandong Provincial Foreign Investment Office thought of this and felt that something should be done.

"Mr. Luo, do you still remember what you said about Qilu Group in Qindao a few years ago? I wonder if you still have this idea now."

Qilu Group was an idea proposed by Luo Nianzhong when he met with the governor of Lu Province.

The goal is to establish a diversified group in Shandong Province that integrates seeds, fertilizers, transportation, warehousing, procurement, processing and retail.

Xiannong cooperated with Shandong Province to build the entire province into a mechanized base for agricultural products.

By the time Shandong Province has increased its GDP, Xiannong will use Shandong Province as a starting point to develop the North China and Central China markets.

However, this proposal was shelved due to unclear policies at the time. Later, Luo Nianzhong asked people to cooperate with Yantai to establish the Penglai Trading Company here.

The cooperation between the two parties was very simple. Penglai Trading Company placed an order, and the Yantai government made every effort to coordinate production capacity, transportation and other issues until the freighter left the dock.

"Of course, if the Governor is interested, Xiannong is ready to cooperate at any time."

Luo Nianzhong is still willing to promote mechanized planting bases, which will accelerate the development of crop planting and increase yields.

"I will report back when I get back, and then we will invite Xiannong Group to Shandong Province for negotiations."

He has no right to agree to this, even though it is almost certain.

Recently, a family member is hospitalized for chemotherapy and needs to be accompanied. I hope you can forgive me if I am dissatisfied.
