My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 524 That's not how you apply eye drops.
Whether or not the dam should be built became a subject of intense debate over the following decades.

They ramble on about ecology, the Earth's crust, and a whole bunch of seemingly profound but ultimately meaningless viewpoints to justify their wasteful and wasteful practices.

But following the joke that Wei Dong had seen, some public intellectuals actually said that the dam affected the Earth's rotation and the whole world, while the Citi Dam, which is almost on the other side of the world at the same latitude, did not have such concerns.

Now we know the motivation behind these statements.

As a true resident of the Three Gorges Reservoir area, I genuinely feel that I have benefited.

The annual flood peaks that pass through the upper reaches are mitigated by the huge water storage capacity, not to mention the middle and lower reaches.

The most important requirement is that the dam needs to be built at a high point to allow 10,000-ton ships to travel upstream to Jiangzhou.

This is the key factor that led to Jiangzhou's sudden emergence as a major automobile production center forty years later, enabling it to manufacture cars that could be shipped to the Yangtze River region via roll-on/roll-off.

The tax authorities have mentioned this matter.

Even the direct administration of Jiangzhou was aimed at addressing a series of livelihood issues brought about by this world's largest hydropower project.

Wei Dong didn't know whether his friends on the other side of the Pacific were affected by environmental protection, ecology, or tectonic activity.

However, it is an indisputable fact that millions of people in Shangzhou have gradually escaped poverty.

The county leader must have already made up his mind, as he solemnly shook hands and said goodbye: "Thank you very much for comrade Weidong's guidance to our county's work, and Director Zi will be in charge of coordinating all subsequent tourism development work."

Following his gesture, the middle-aged leader from the education department quickly came over to shake hands and hand over his business card.

Wei Dong was about to nod and walk away, but when he saw the business card, or more precisely, when he saw the rare surname that was just as uncommon as his own, he was surprised.

Some memories involuntarily flashed through my mind, and looking at that name again, I became somewhat certain.

He smiled, nodded, and shook hands.

Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the teahouse next door!
Several middle-aged men rushed in from the side without even glancing at the prominent figures from the county standing on the stone steps.

Just as Wei Dong was about to take the opportunity to say goodbye, Shi Tou, who had been secretly following behind him, suddenly appeared.

He leaned closer to the tea shop, peeked inside, and then waved back.

It was probably Mao'er who made Wei Dong realize it.

I lifted my foot and stepped over.

These people immediately frowned and followed.

Right in the corner of the tea shop where we were having tea, a boy of about ten years old had a monkey perched on his shoulder and a myna bird perched on his other side.

He was walking three dogs in front of him.

At first glance, he actually looks like a wandering swordsman.

It was probably this combination, along with everyone following Wei Dong to go shopping, that led people to misjudge his identity.

Now a group of arrogant-looking men actually tried to surround him: "Where did this greenhorn come from? Hand him over or you're leaving!"

Wei Dong thought Mao'er was itching to do something, so he immediately stepped forward and said, "What's the matter? This is my brother. Tell me what's wrong!"

Mao'er remained completely unperturbed: "They drooled over Long'er and wanted to take our things. I only refrained from doing so because my elder brother was in your esteemed territory on business. Otherwise, you guys wouldn't have survived against Tiger Head and Black Bear!"

Long'er is that capable and fierce Sichuan dog, which zoo experts say is more valuable than the two mastiffs.

Therefore, I really want to keep the Sichuan East Dog at the zoo for research (and training).

Mao said he would train the dog in virginity before handing it over to the zoo, so now he wants to move away from the zoo with its ulterior motives, but he can't bear to part with the clouded leopard.

In short, after hearing what he said, Wei Dong felt relieved, as long as his younger brother wasn't incorrigible.

He turned to the group and smiled, "I'd heard before that this place has a strong sense of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) and society, and it turns out it really is true."

He gestured to his younger brother, "Let's go, don't get entangled with them..."

There's no need to elaborate on this sure-win situation.

It turned out that these people either didn't see the county leaders dressed in Zhongshan suits, or they were so focused on the good dog that they completely ignored their surroundings.

He immediately yelled, "Dream on! Who the hell do you think you are..."

"No matter what kind of troublemaker you are, once you're in Kuizhou, you have to listen to us!"

"Don't even think about leaving the dock without leaving some money for your journey..."

Wei Dong had Mao'er come over from the outside, and these people happened to be in front of him. Now they turned around and were about to push and shove.

Stone knew he wasn't needed at this moment, so he quietly stepped aside.

Wei Dong hesitated, wondering whether to draw his gun or first pull out his work ID to intimidate the situation.

Those county officials immediately turned black with anger!

This is like applying eye drops.

But before they could even raise their hands to signal the newcomer...

Mao'er had already loosened the belt in his hand...

He didn't need to issue any instructions.

The three vicious dogs pounced on them like dragons and tigers descending from the mountain!
Dogs bite based on their emotions; the more malicious or threatening the bite, the more likely it is to bite!

The entire tea shop instantly descended into chaos!

Wei Dong had no choice but to step back immediately and even reached out to help the older of the group.

The tea shop is right next to the stone steps, so it's easy to slip and fall.

Very quickly, the police officers who had been following far behind rushed up.

The three dogs had already fiercely grabbed the two men!
And the most vicious one was the Sichuan dog, the smallest in size, which bit my wrist tightly and wouldn't let go! The two mastiffs, on the other hand, only pounced on my thighs and arms, moving around and attacking.

Just like the police behind them, it took Mao'er to call away the fierce dogs before they could control the situation, and then they took out silver bracelets and put them on the people and dragged them away.

Everyone in the county looked extremely embarrassed!

Wei Dong, however, seemed completely unaware of this situation and simply revealed his backup plan: "Take a look, gentlemen. If we want to develop tourism in Kuimen, we need to expand the construction of the scenic area. I have a preliminary outline: to create an economic zone integrating catering, entertainment, and accommodation on the land in front of the scenic area. I estimate it will be in that area. Now, we will start by building the mountaintop trail and take the opportunity to survey this part. I hope that we can gradually initiate construction projects in the next few years."

This included Rang Weidong, the male employee, and a group of people from the county, who all quickly followed Rang Weidong's finger and looked in that direction.

Looking out from the riverbank, the distant Qutang Gorge is a given, and the surrounding riverside city resembles a turtle lying in the water, its head poking out of the water.

Baidi City is right above that turtle prime minister's head.

Wei Dong understood very well that once the water level rose, the entire area connecting to Baidi City would be submerged, and Baidi City was only spared from being flooded because of its current height, which resembled a small hill.

It will naturally become a small island in the middle of the river.

Wei Dong then considered placing the cobbled-together "ancient town" at the point where the tortoise shell connects to the neck.

It's like simulating an ancient dock, stone steps, streets, ancient city walls, and even a palace complex.

This matter can now be handled by Director Zi.

To be honest, Kuizhou is indeed a well-known port city. Perhaps the major ports like Jiangzhou and Shangzhou have been more active in recent years, and families like the Shen family have been dealt with.

On the contrary, those hidden in the corners and outcrops are the ones that survive.

This has been the custom in Kuizhou, especially in its history.

For example, let Wei Dong's hometown, where that handsome fellow from the countryside studied here and became a leader of the secret society.

If we want to develop the economy properly, we definitely can't do without cleaning up these kinds of problems.

Sure enough, Director Zi showed more enthusiasm and drive than the others, immediately and earnestly inquiring about and confirming the location, indicating that he would cooperate with the staff here to collect information.

Even as Wei Dong was saying goodbye and boarding the transport boat, he was still smiling and waving farewell to these people.

When they drove away and looked back from a distance, everyone else had turned around and gone up the ladder, but Director Zi was still holding onto Wei Dong's two employees and the herb gatherer, saying something to them.

They seem to put a lot of effort into their work.

Having spent forty years in the tax compound, I've witnessed countless portraits of people within the system.

From initial enthusiasm to later becoming a lazy, complacent person, most of them just drift along. Those like Lao Shi, who can really take risks, are extremely rare.

The thought of Director Zi made Wei Dong smirk involuntarily.

All the girls were looking at him, and Qin Yuye, the most outspoken, asked, "Which girl are you thinking of?"

Dong Xueqing chuckled, Li Erfeng's eyes widened, and Shen Laosan glanced at the Hong Kong girl. Isn't it normal for the master to want a girl? The worst thing is that he doesn't want one!

Wei Dong realized how difficult it was for the speedboat to travel against the flow of traffic; it took two or three hours to get there, and it would probably take four or five hours to get back!

Putting aside his recollections of the outrageous legends surrounding Director Zi, he began to consider the present: "Who should handle this? When your brother was in the yacht business, did he ever come into contact with wingboats?"

Qin Yuye asked in surprise, "What kind of boat?"

Wei Dong gestured, "I've seen it in magazines. It's long like a loaf of bread, but it has hydrofoils on its belly. When it gets to high speed, the whole boat lifts its head and rushes onto the water, so the impact of going against the current or with the current is minimal. It can reach speeds of nearly 100 kilometers per hour... Su Lian must have some production."

He didn't know what brilliant mind had introduced this thing. Passenger ships usually only go 10 or 20 kilometers per hour, while this kind of speedboat would be lucky to get over 30 or 40 kilometers per hour.

Those high-speed flying boats that can carry a hundred or so people on the Yangtze River are like Usain Bolt running past a bunch of weaklings, roaring past as they go.

Wei Dong watched it from the shore several times, and it left a very deep impression on him.

In the end, it was abandoned and placed on display in the riverside park near the new town, which he also visited.

Some of the younger staff in the bureau used their travel allowances and extra money to try it out, and when they came back, their heads were buzzing. It was really fast, and it was really noisy inside.

But before the high-speed rail and highways started operating, it was the fastest vehicle on this stretch of river.

Wei Dong only intended to buy one for "experimentation," but actually intended to use it for his own commercial transportation.

Because the tax authorities knew that this thing ultimately resulted in a loss of hundreds of millions...

It was also part of the blind imports of the 1980s and 90s, but it is said that some technology was also learned from them.

So let's try making a separate one.

The Hong Kong girl was still shaking her head: "No, no, in Hong Kong, yachts are priced by feet. They're either sailboats, flybridges, or speedboats, like those big flybridges used for smuggling. I've never seen a wingboat."

Fortunately, her brother had experience in this business, so he spoke about it quite knowledgeably.

Wei Dong had no choice but to turn to his sister-in-law: "Then you should contact someone who does business with Russia... Su Lian. Yes, ask the city's foreign trade department to see if they have this kind of product in the Russian-speaking area."

Dong Xueqing was simply stating the facts: "I haven't spoken Russian for quite a while, but I need to pick it up again. Uh, the other day when I was doing computer training, there was a foreign language teacher in the city who was very good at both English and Russian..."

Wei Dong immediately knew who it was: "Ignore her, don't associate with her!"

Shi Linyan's life trajectory was exactly different from Dong Xueqing's, and her sister certainly never mentioned this teacher who was slightly injured in the same case.

He immediately raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You know him?"

It wasn't an interrogation, but rather a display of curiosity.

Shen Cuiyue kept staring, and her interest soared as she quickly made eye contact with Qin Yuye.

As a result, Li Erfeng directly revealed: "A teacher from the No. 1 Middle School in the city used to want to date Wei Dong, but it didn't work out!"

A burst of laughter suddenly echoed throughout the narrow cabin!
Li Erfeng, that's not how you apply eye drops. How are you going to win a man's favor?
