The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 486: Take a big shit!
Since he had a dual identity, Zhang Shenfei had never stayed in Hong Kong for so long.

He left Sijiu City in early autumn. In autumn, the leaves in Sijiu City were yellow, the autumn wind was bleak, and the city was in a desolate state.

Sitting on the train heading south, the leaves gradually turned green, and it seemed as if time was going backwards.

After arriving in the port city, it was summer again. It was not until now, four months later, that the weather here started to get cooler.

In a trance, Zhang Shenfei had the illusion that time seemed to have stopped for four months.

These past few months, every day has been busy.

In terms of official business, he immediately reported back the extreme water shortage in the port city that he had learned about.

The North held a special meeting to discuss this issue.

The cadres who disagreed gave four reasons:
First, my country is now in a very difficult period after the three-year recession. It is undoubtedly lacking the right time, right place and right people to build new large-scale projects at this time.

Second, if we want to supply water to the port city, we have to divert water from Guangdong Province. Guangdong Province is very close to the port city and has also been affected by the drought. The situation is not optimistic.

Third, the port city is not under the jurisdiction of our country and is still in the hands of foreign countries. We have taken great pains to help divert water, but the credit may be taken away by the other party. We have worked hard and spent a lot of money, but in the end we have made wedding clothes for others. It is not worth it.

The fourth point is that the current GB situation is grim. Although the Great Prime Minister was defeated in the war, he still did not give up and repeatedly harassed our border. There is also the GBDJ crisis and so on. As military expenditures are becoming increasingly huge, it is not cost-effective to add another expense at this time.

But no matter how much opposition there was, it was decided to build the canal from Guangdong Province to the port city after all.

The meeting came to an end here.

At the end of the year,
With special approval from higher authorities, 3584 million yuan was allocated from foreign aid funds to divert water from the Dongjiang River to provide relief to compatriots in Gangcheng.

The water diversion line is more than 80 kilometers long and crosses six high-altitude mountains.

Construction began at the construction site in Guangdong Province, and more than 10,000 workers were urgently dispatched from all over the country to work in three shifts around the clock.

The news spread to the wealthy circle in Hong Kong, and Zhang Shenfei’s biggest work problem during his visit to Hong Kong was resolved.

His next task was to help build momentum for the North, find ways to overcome all difficulties in the North, and maximize the effect of helping the port city build canals.

Simply put, it is to let the people understand that the North is their blood-related mother, and when they are in trouble, only their own blood will help them regardless of cost.

The ultimate goal of doing all this is to gradually make the people's hearts move closer to the North.

From within, slowly melt away their rejection of the North and disintegrate their alliance with the Y government.

This is a long process, and Zhang Shenfei is not the only one who has received the order to carry out this mission.

But Zhang Shenfei felt that since he had done it, he still had to make some achievements...

He knew that once the news of the canal construction spread, the people who had no water to drink and no food to eat would certainly have a more favorable impression of the North.

But in a city like Hong Kong, whether this news can be spread, how it is spread, and in what form it is spread depends on the Hong Kong government...

Zhang Shenfei had naturally seen the media people's Spring and Autumn writing style.

In line with previous practices, the North spent a huge amount of money and overcame all difficulties to build the canal.

Finally, with the GY government's suggestion and the media's hype, it is very likely that all of this was attributed to the GY government.

In the past, Zhang Shenfei couldn’t do anything about it, but now that he is here, he has to intervene.

Therefore, whenever he had time, he would think about how to make a big move and spread the news as widely as possible.

But this requires a process and cannot be rushed, so Zhang Shenfei is still waiting, waiting for an opportunity...

In private matters,
After solving the problems of the Lou family and Zhang Fenjin at the beginning, Zhang Shenfei was busy with the big entertainment city.

He had no shortage of money, so he withdrew some of the money he had deposited in Citibank and HSBC when he first arrived in Hong Kong.

Together with the gold bars obtained from Zhao Dadiao's safe and the investments of Xiaolong, Liu Xiaocao and Chen Xueru, it is enough to revitalize Venice World.

But doing business, especially business in the gray area, requires more than just money.

Starting from September, he looked for opportunities to meet with his uncle, who said he would help him solve the most important D-square license issue for the big entertainment city.

Zhang Fenjin’s matter has come to an end.

The day after the Zhang family met Bai Yaoyao, Zhang Fenjin stopped working at the medicinal liquor shop and started learning knowledge instead.

Although what one learns in the old city and in Hong Kong is very different, and although his foundation is not good, as Chen Xueru said, he is almost semi-illiterate.

But fortunately, he is smart and clever, and the reason he didn't do well in his studies before was simply because he didn't want to learn.

Now that all the intelligence and talents have been brought out, the speed at which knowledge is absorbed is comparable to that of a sponge.

Seeing that Zhang Fenjin was getting better day by day, Zhang Shenfei finally felt relieved.

Feeling that he had done his best for his brother and sister-in-law, he began to focus all his energy on selecting a site for a large entertainment city.

After more than a month of research and investigation, every day is busy.

Finally, several people unanimously chose Victoria Bay. Although the land here is very expensive, since they are determined to build a first-class entertainment venue in Hong Kong, they naturally have to choose the most suitable location.

After the most important site selection, we started looking for a construction company without stopping.

Zhang Shenfei talked about his ideas and concepts, as well as the projects included in the entertainment city.

He even took the designers to Makan City to refer to the ideas of the gambling city there and drew a drawing of what the Guanwai Bath Center would look like in the 21st century.

His idea was actually very simple and crude. The so-called big entertainment city was named Venice World. Generally speaking, it was a combination of a luxury bathing center, a small casino and a KTV.

After more than a month and twenty-eight revisions, the drawings were finally finalized. The entire entertainment city is over 50,000 square meters, covering entertainment, consumption, and massage. It is an all-inclusive and omnipotent place... As for food, it is planned to be connected with Lou Xiaoe's Home Inn restaurant. Guests can dine at Home Inn, and the restaurant can also provide meal delivery service.

When the drawings were finalized, the construction company was extremely shocked; they had never seen such a place before.

Chen Xueru, Xiaolong and Liu Xiaocao also found it incredible and shouted that they might have made history.

Zhang Shenfei smiled secretly and decided to let these people experience the shock from the 21st century.

The preliminary work preparation is completed, and the next step is just construction.

The design drawings for the construction of the 88,000 square meter entertainment city are thicker than a book when bound together.

The person in charge of the construction company shouted excitedly: "This order can not only support us for three years! It is no exaggeration to say that even if we do not receive new orders for ten years, we do not have to worry about our livelihood!" He knew that as long as this project was successfully completed and put into use, their company would surely become an undisputed and leading industry benchmark in the construction field of the entire port city. By then, other peers can only look up to them and envy them. And the business volume and profit income undertaken by their company will also usher in a golden period of explosive growth. Thinking of this, the person in charge couldn't help but reveal a proud smile on his face that was difficult to conceal.

Recently, an exciting piece of news swept the entire port city like a whirlwind - an unprecedented large-scale entertainment venue with luxurious facilities is about to be completed here! As soon as this heavy news came out, it attracted the keen attention and endless imagination of the people of the city.

People were talking about all kinds of things, but after the discussion, they were still anxious about where to line up for water tomorrow and which water tank would be better.

The business circles whose business scope overlaps with that of Venice World immediately began to talk about who was the powerful person who suddenly intervened in their business scope and snatched their cake.

When they learned that the big boss of the big entertainment city was Chen Xueru, the famous woman running the Xueru Silk Shop, they were all surprised.

To fight against the powerful opponent that is coming.

Several of the most well-known and largest businessmen who run legal D-shops, massage parlors, nightclubs, and brothels in Hong Kong got together to discuss whether they should do something at the foundation of the big entertainment city to make it impossible for them to do business.

"Hong Kong is a tiny place and the cake is so small. They do everything and want to have everything. That means they are stealing food from our bowls?" The fat man who runs Dfang cursed while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"We have to eat the staple food, the meat, the vegetables, and even the last bowl of soup has to be taken away. What should we do? Are we going to starve to death?" The bearded man who runs a chain of nine nightclubs sneered.

"The funds needed to open that entertainment city are probably enough to open hundreds of chicken houses." The skinny old man who owns 17 foot massage shops was suspicious. "Chen Xueru? How can a cloth seller have the ability to do such a big business?"

"Are you kidding? I know her silk shop. My wife has bought custom-made clothes there several times. To put it nicely, it does high-end customization. To put it bluntly, it's just a clothing store. Does she have the money to open an entertainment city?" the fat man said again.

"I heard people say that although Chen Xueru's silk shop is nothing, her husband is a very influential person. This deal is most likely driven by her man..." The bearded man supported his chin, thinking.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked over and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Do you remember Chen Xueru's previous marriage? That was a grand occasion not something ordinary people could afford... I specifically checked and found out that her husband was called Zhang Zhiguo... He had very good relations with both Li Jiazong of the Li family and the Huo family." The bearded man continued slowly.

The information he received showed that when the port city was hit by a drought some time ago and those wealthy people held a meeting and wanted to seek help from the north, Zhang Zhiguo was among the participants.

Although I don’t know what role the other party played in the meeting, being able to attend such a meeting itself represents a certain status.

"Hiss! Now that you mention it, I remember that some people said that the people doing business with Chen Xueru were Xiaolong and Liu Xiaocao from Hexingtang?" The gang leader with a chicken stub widened his eyes and suddenly felt that the situation was a little tricky.

"Everyone knows that Li Jiazong is the first boss of Hexingtang!!!" Others began to be amazed.

"In other words, Chen Xueru's boss behind the scenes is her man, and her man's boss behind the scenes is Li Jiazong?"

Several people suddenly looked at each other, and then tacitly picked up the cup to drink tea.

If Li Jiazong wanted to get involved in the entertainment industry, he could indeed revitalize such a big plate.

At the same time, their attempts to compete with each other were like throwing an egg against a rock.

But if they just sit there and wait for the other party's big entertainment city to open, they won't have to do these businesses anymore...

It's death anyway, should we sit and wait for death, or fight back? This is the question...

"I think this big entertainment city should have nothing to do with Li Jiazong... If it really did, he wouldn't have opened it in someone else's name!! It's not against the law."

The massage industry and brothels in Hong Kong are not illegal, and nightclubs and bathhouses are the most legitimate businesses.

The only gray one is D Fang, but as long as you get a legal license, you don’t have to worry about anything.

Taking photos in D Square is as difficult as ascending to heaven for others, but for someone of Li Jiazong's status and ability, it is as easy as taking candy from a sack.

After the fat man finished his analysis, the others nodded: "That's true..."

"The business is most likely Zhang Zhiguo's. He and Li Jiazong may just be good friends. Don't complicate the issue." The bearded man looked at the big boss named Zhai who ran the society and suddenly said.

"We should come up with a solution as soon as possible. Once this entertainment venue is built, everyone's business will probably be greatly impacted." The fat man wiped the sweat from his forehead again, looked at him, and said, "We need someone to take the lead to resolve this huge threat...

Unfortunately, although I opened a D shop, I rely on others, unlike Boss Zhai, who has people and weapons..."

"Don't even mention you. Who among us here can compare to Master Zhai?"

"If you ask me, no matter when, only those with weapons have the right to speak..."

"If all else fails, find some brothers from the society and beat him up. Let him know that food in Hong Kong City is not so easy to eat!!"

"Damn it, they are already lying on a mountain of gold, but they still want to steal the food of us beggars!!" Brother Zhai, who opened the chicken hole, was very angry and cursed. He himself was also a member of the society and had a dispute with Hexingtang.

"Fuck him! He's stealing food from me. No matter if he's Li Jiazong or Wang Jiazong, I want him dead!" As he said that, he slammed the table.

The others looked at each other and immediately began to flatter him.

"Mr. Zhai is awesome!" said the skinny old man.

"Mr. Zhai is well-known in the Hong Kong community. The little Hexingtang is nothing!"

"Show Zhang Zhiguo some power, let this northerner know that our Hong Kong City is not a place where he can come and go as he pleases!"

"If Boss Zhai brings his brothers to come forward, I am willing to provide some funds..."
