Damn it, I'm in the garbage book I wrote

Chapter 357 Oh, it’s a big fish!
"Look at this bay, it's basically a natural harbor. Look at this Yongdong area, it can gather all kinds of sea vessels and fishing boats during the windy season every year. It's really a treasure land."

Xia Lin drew a large area on the map. After all, Zhenhai was given to him, which meant that Yongdong was also given to him. Yongdong was not a small area. It was the entire Zhoushan City, and there were some scattered islands on the periphery. The coverage area was very large.

Moreover, if the wind direction is good, it only takes three days to reach Japan by boat. If this works well, won't these ancient bastards be harvested and rotten? The bastards at this moment can't resist the brilliant Central Plains civilization. For them, the Central Plains civilization at this point is the supreme father country in their hearts. They have to grab the shit that their father poops and dig it to see if there are bean sprouts in it.

If we could send the wonderful specialties from the Central Plains there, hey... they might even discover the American continent in advance to grab the gold and silver.

As for whether this would cause any harm to the American continent, Xia Lin didn't care. It is said that a gentleman stays away from the kitchen and does not see the killing of animals. But he himself does not eat dog meat and cannot stop others from eating dog meat. He is just a poor, weak and helpless peddler. If someone takes out a gold bar, does he have to distinguish whether this gold bar is righteous or evil?

Just sell the goods well and don't mix in personal opinions. Personal emotions are not allowed in the business world.

"God really favors you."

Tang Baoer looked at the map and suddenly said something like this. Xia Lin was confused: "What? Are you pregnant?"

"That's not it..." Tang Bao'er was both angry and amused: "I mean, the construction of Jiangnan Road has reached a bottleneck. Cement, steel bars, engineering teams, etc. are all becoming a big problem. Suddenly, you have such a large area for you to roam around. Isn't that God's blessing?"

"I love him dearly." Xia Lin spat on the ground. "If he really wants to love me, then he can just open a portal for me. I'll apply to the organization to build a Seventh Century Special Economic Zone here. In five years, I'll let you see an aircraft carrier crossing the Pacific Ocean."

Tang Baoer looked at him sideways: "???"

"It's okay, I was just expressing my feelings. It's normal that you don't understand."

"If you are tired, just take a rest. This is a good time to recuperate your body. I am already over 20 years old. People say that I am an old hen that can't lay eggs."

Tang Baoer said rather unhappily: "Don't tire yourself out and go crazy here."

"Who the hell said that? Tear off his mouth." Xia Lin rolled up his sleeves and said, "Wait, we'll fight another 3,200 rounds tonight."

"You should take a rest tonight. You look so tired that your eyes are blue."

Although Xia Lin seemed to be doing everything easily, he was leading troops in battle after all. He had to entertain and coordinate, so his work pressure was actually quite high. When Tang Baoer came over, she found that he had lost weight and looked even thinner, and his eyes were dark, which showed that he had not slept well for some days.

That's true. After all, it was a battle where the outnumbered side defeated the larger one. Although everyone said it was light, only the coach knew the feeling.

While the two were talking, Luo Shixin knocked gently on the door: "Marshal, the politicians and businessmen from Yangzhou Prefecture are here to see you."

Xia Lin straightened his clothes and cleared his throat: "Take them to the hall to rest for a while, I will go there."

"Order!"

After he left, Tang Baoer also started to change her clothes. After all, she was one of the important political and business representatives. But when she was changing her clothes, Xia Lin suddenly hugged her waist from behind.

"Stop it, it's already this critical moment."

"Let them wait first, let's make this a quick decision!"

Anyway, all the bigwigs from all walks of life in Yangzhou Prefecture had to wait for about half an hour. If it were someone else, they would probably just walk away, but this was a typical God of Wealth.

There are two circles in the world that people must have heard of Xia Lin. One is the circle of rebels. Until now, Xia Lin has basically faced or dealt with rebels whenever he stepped out of Fuliang, no matter if it was Wang Shichong, the King of Lingnan, or the current Duke Dingguo. It seems that all the rebels in recent years have a direct or indirect relationship with him.

Moreover, there is no shortage of powerful people in the anti-bandit circle. They analyzed various data and concluded that Xia Lin's Fuliang would usher in a period of vigorous development after each response to the anti-bandits.

Wow, you’re here to get rich by redressing your wrongdoings, right?

Therefore, most of the rebels in the rebel circle will now pay special attention to Xia Lin's movements, and some have even begun to invest around him. In other words, wherever he goes to quell the rebellion, other rebels will swarm in and invest on a large scale.

You know what, I made a lot of money...

Therefore, Xia Lin is a well-known guiding light in the anti-traitor circle.

Another circle is the business circle.

The status of merchants is very low, no matter how rich they are, their status is still low. This is not to blame others, but to blame the characteristics of this group itself. It is said that men are heartless and actors are disloyal, but merchants are truly heartless and disloyal.

Xia Lin said something during a meeting in Fuliang, which has now become a stereotype of businessmen for people all over the world. Although Xia Lin said the vulgar words when he was angry, it is really damn classic when you think about it carefully.

"You bunch of stinking shits, I really don't set a limit for you. As long as the profit can be tripled, you can sell the rope that hangs your dog heads."

However, even though he cursed, Fuliang's business environment was the best, because there was something called rules above everyone's head. No matter how big your business was or how close your friends were, these rules applied. Many small merchants did not worry about being bullied, and large merchants did not worry about being exploited.

The profit is sometimes lower, but the advantage is the stable environment and good atmosphere. No matter how fierce the competition is, even if it is at the level of a mortal enemy, you can only pour boiling water on the money tree at the door of the other party. If it is placed outside, it will poison the well and kill everyone.

So the business community has a love-hate relationship with Xia Lin, with more love.

As for his position in the literary world, it is just that. After all, there are talented people in every generation, and the old are replaced by the new. Although Xia Lin is still very famous, he has not released any new works for a long time, and he has obviously become a tear of the old era.

There were a large number of chambers of commerce that came to participate in the investment promotion this time, almost two hundred in total. When Xia Lin went over and saw the scene, he was almost scared.

However, he quickly realized that about 60 to 70 percent of these people were clones of various aristocratic families.

Xia Lin is now like a giant whale in the sea, with a lot of things always following him. Even some of the dandruff that falls off his body is enough to feed an entire tribe.

The meeting process was naturally very long, because there are so many industries involved here, one can even say that they are all the industries that can be thought of in this era, even including the entertainment industry.

However, the current entertainment industry is nothing more than gambling and brothels, but these are industries that Xia Lin has banned, so they must change their current business routines, such as imitating the model of Fuliang Grand Theater and putting various stage plays and dramas on stage. The style is still there, but the nature is completely different. When Xia Lin investigated the background of these businesses after the meeting, he found a big guy hidden under the huge waves, that is, the Dugu family that he rejected last time.

Surprisingly, 30% of the merchants that came this time were from the Dugu family. It seemed that this venture capital family was indeed something. They did not make any verbal attacks against Xia Lin, but instead further increased their investment in him.

However, the direction of this investment is completely different. This hidden venture capital family of theirs actually followed Xia Lin around the world...

If he dug deeper, he would find that the business companies with Dugu family background had actually been following Xia Lindong and traveling around for a long time, from the desolate northwest to the snowy forests, coal mines, ships, and even grain and planting.

"Hey... these idiots are smart."

"What's wrong?"

Tang Baoer came over and asked curiously, but Xia Lin shook his head: "The Dugu family, what kind of monsters are they?"

"The Dugu family?" Tang Bao'er pursed her lips, then raised her head and glanced at Xia Lin: "I have heard of them. What happened to them?"

Xia Lin listed the Dugu family's investment in him. It can be clearly seen that there are three major giants in Fuliang, and the first one is naturally the Tang family.

The reason why the Tang family became the top family in Fuliang was not because Xia Lin abused his power for personal gain, but because the best way to become a general's wife was to marry him when he was still a soldier.

Tang Baoer was the first person to invest in Fuliang. At that time, he acquired a large amount of high-quality land use rights at a low price. Even the entire Dou Fu Nong was built with Tang Baoer's money in the beginning.

There is no need to talk about what happened later. She was basically the one who had the original shares. She and Xia Lin didn't even sleep in the same bed at that time. It was simply her strategic vision and courage that brought about the subsequent development.

As for the second family, I originally thought it was the royal family or the Gao family, but who knew it was actually the Dugu family. Their family was divided into small parts, and they were involved in all walks of life. Some were the second son, some were the third son, but when you average out so many second sons and third sons, you find that they actually firmly occupy the second seat.

Xia Lin licked his teeth when he saw this. These idiots were really amazing. They had actually achieved this step quietly. What was the key problem? It was that there was no way to deal with them at this stage, because they were serious businessmen and all the steps were in accordance with Xia Lin's rules.

What kind of people are the scariest? They are not the ones who are bossy and rampant, because those are the easiest to deal with. The scariest ones are those who fight back and forth within the established framework. As long as they don't make mistakes, there is no way to deal with them, otherwise they will negate their own framework.

Interesting, so interesting.

Xia Lin leaned there and tried to figure out for a long time but couldn't figure out what the Dugu family wanted to do. Could it be that they also considered themselves as candidates for the emperor?

That won't work. Oh, if someone has the hope of becoming an emperor, they will give him a beautiful daughter, and they themselves may become an emperor, so they use this to test cadres?

At least get a few pretty daughters from the Dugu family to choose from.

According to rumors, the Dugu family has a unique cultivation mechanism, just like the cultivation of hybrid rice, that is, the men in their family will almost never marry for political marriages, but will specifically marry the most beautiful girls among the people. From generation to generation, the boys born serve as the fathers to continue to cultivate genes, while the girls are used for political marriages.

With such training, one can imagine how beautiful the daughter of Dugu family is. Xia Lin is not purely lustful but purely curious. He just wants to see how beautiful the girls of Dugu family are.

"I know him."

Tang Baoer smiled and said, "Du Guhan and I grew up together. He even said that he would marry me when he grew up."

"and after?"

"Later...what was my identity?"

Tang Baoer was stunned for a moment after she finished speaking, then turned back to look at Xia Lin: "You don't mind me saying this, do you?"

Xia Lin stroked his chin and said, "I want to kill him."

"Then you can do it. I was only seven years old at that time. I don't even remember what he looked like."

Tang Bao'er obviously didn't care about these things. When she mentioned this, she frowned and said, "But later I also heard news about Du Guhan. He said that he didn't get married after he succeeded as the head of the family."

Xia Lin raised his eyebrows: "Was he good-looking when he was a child?"

"He looks good! He's so good-looking. I'm not as good-looking as him. Compared to him, I look like a country boy."

Tang Baoer, with the white, tender and smooth skin that only Chinese women have, may even be Yang Guifei's grandmother...

She said that she was not as good as Dugu Han, and the difference was like heaven and earth.

"Isn't he a woman dressed as a man?"

"Eh?" Tang Baoer was stunned for a moment: "It's not impossible. When we were playing outside, other boys would relieve themselves under the roots of trees, but he never did."

"What if he has good upbringing?"

"Oh, good upbringing. Luoyang was still the imperial capital at that time, and there were many people with good upbringing."

"Then how did you get mixed up with people of their level? Your family is a businessman."

Tang Baoer curled her lips and said, "Because we are rich, our families live close to each other, and the kids don't care about that."

"It's also possible that he doesn't like women at all." Xia Lin touched his face. "Maybe, after seeing me, he couldn't forget my beauty and planned to get me."

Tang Bao'er was stunned for a moment, then she laughed so hard that she fell backwards. But Xia Lin was not finished yet: "Speaking of which, I am not bad looking. I am as handsome as Pan An. But I am not interested in men, so I am the man he is destined to never get in this life. If you can still contact him, tell him not to be wishful thinking, but to go back to his hometown, get married, build a few tiled houses, raise seven or eight pigs, and live a stable life."
