My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 617 Who isn't a fine son or a fine daughter?
It turns out that during the days that Wei Dong was sent to Southeast Asia, Pengzhen received an application from a large HK group to build an international port east of Pengzhen!
Old Fang was both amused and exasperated when he talked about this: "Our western dock is very close to the Hong Kong dock, and it's located at the mouth of the Pearl River, so we can go upstream to connect with Yuezhou Port. We have all the advantages, but because of the sedimentary geological conditions at the estuary, it's unlikely that we can have the conditions for a deep-water port. The eastern side is bad in every way except for the deep water. They say it's what you said, that the port is good, so we'll just build a road!"

Nani?

This left Wei Dong with the quintessential internet "black guy" question mark in his mind.

When he first arrived in Hong Kong, he deliberately promoted his own dock, emphasizing that it would become a huge competitor to Hong Kong in the future.

The purpose is to promote the idea that the mainland will develop better and better in the future, and that people should not stick to Hong Kong but go to the mainland to develop.

This can also be seen as him speaking up for Lao Fang.

As it turned out, these cunning old foxes understood it on a completely different level.

Old Fang was both helpless and extremely gratified: "Before, they were unwilling to build a port here. Who wouldn't want to keep occupying the golden port of Hong Kong and make our imports and exports only go through Hong Kong? That's why I set up this port in Pengzhen West District under the name of a company. Now that I've worked so hard to get it up and running, they're coming to steal my business!"

Wei Dong quickly shifted the blame: "I'm just a pretext. The key is that it was your dock that made them feel threatened. If they don't follow up and seize territory soon, they won't even get a share of the spoils. So the credit still belongs to you. How much are they planning to invest?"

Old Fang had to give a thumbs up: "Two billion Hong Kong dollars! They really see the potential in this future development trend. I've been trying to persuade them for five or six years, but it's not as good as you showing up in Hong Kong twice to explain it to them!"

Just kidding. You represent the government, and they'll always have doubts. Let Wei Dong represent private entrepreneurs; he's genuinely made money.

Hong Kong business families have money; the key is how to invest in a safe and effective way.

Wei Dong was also taken aback: "Two billion? Is the water depth in the East District really that good?"

Lao Fang admitted: "I also went to investigate at the time. The water depth of Bowan is said to be rare in the world, but it is separated from the city by mountains. The harbor is surrounded by mountains, so of course I chose this side. It is integrated with the city, which is convenient for the development of both the industrial zone and the dock area. But this time they said they can build a tunnel. They have money, they really have money."

tunnel?

Wei Dong immediately remembered, could it be that joke that later became very famous online?
Hong Kong businessmen invested in building a pier and a tunnel, but they insist on charging tolls for the tunnel for many years, which has restricted the development of the pier.

The city government sought negotiations with Hong Kong businessmen, but the businessmen insisted that the contract was for several decades and that everything had to be done according to the rules. This angered the city government so much that they spent a huge sum of money to build another tunnel. The internet was abuzz with praise for China's arrogance and extravagance.

However, some argue that they did nothing wrong. The contract stipulates that either the agreement should be honored or the remaining contract should be acquired by paying for it; this is the standard business practice.

As for being taken advantage of by Hong Kong businessmen, that's just paying the price. We can't just deny it and then resort to moral blackmail.

So this matter was once a hot topic online, and the old security guard watched it with great interest.

Wei Dong had no idea about the port and dock owned by Pengzhen: "In short, it's a good thing for the country. They must have done an assessment before they dared to make this investment. Maybe they've already found a good one. They just need to confirm whether they can keep their promises. Besides, our area isn't just a port; there's also an industrial zone. I guarantee you, once this computer chip factory is up and running, it will definitely boost the surrounding area!"

Old Fang then suggested that Wei Dong switch roles: "I'll wait until you leave before I go back. This time, remember to go to the dock and sort out the work properly. The shareholding reform has been approved. You need to drive the work from both the dock and the container terminal. If you do a good job, I'll retire in a few years."

Wei Dong wanted to joke and say, "Don't even think about shirking your responsibilities," but when he looked up at the old man in the night, he just smiled and said, "Okay."

Old Fang got up with satisfaction and asked in a low voice about all the details of the actions, but Wei Dong still didn't say anything about Mao'er's performance.

Only when they were getting into their cars did he mention that he would also be attending the wedding the next day.

Wei Dong was still a little confused: "Hasn't this exposed us?"

Old Fang pointed to the newspaper in his car: "You think the special agent work is like in the movies? In reality, most of it is about silently watching the newspaper, TV, or recording things day after day in a certain place. All your information can already be seen in the newspaper. I know that you and that movie star appeared in Feilubin, so everyone knows about your relationship with me and understands the significance of your shareholding in the dock. It all depends on how far you can go."

Wei Dongcai suddenly realized what was going on.

Sure enough, by the next morning, news of Chow Yun-fat, Ron Wai-tung, and Chin Chi-ming's involvement in the shooting case at Fairfax was already circulating widely in Hong Kong newspapers.

It has already given a prominent and colorful introduction to Pitt, a billionaire from mainland China.

They have joined forces with several major Hong Kong tycoons to promote real estate in mainland China, and have also managed various commodities that have sold very well in mainland China.

But the condescending attitude towards the mainlanders was intentionally or unintentionally displayed. Even though Wei Dong sold so many different kinds of products, they still gave him the title of "King of Sanitary Napkins".

He even joked that he made money and ran to Hong Kong to get married and become dependent on her.

Yu Xiaoqiu was so angry she almost cursed, but Qin Yuye was nonchalant: "See if he gets upset over something like this. A sign of a man's maturity is his ability to control his emotions. On such a joyous occasion, he shouldn't let these things affect him."

Wei Dong laughed and cursed, "What a load of crap! I'll leave as soon as I'm done. I have a ton of stuff to do."

Qin Yuye sighed: "I won't force you to consummate the marriage. Let's see when you've thought it through and come to fulfill your legal responsibilities. I'm going to Shanghai first... You said my jeans factory, clothing factory, shampoo factory, and cosmetics factory are all in Jiangzhou. Isn't that a bit inappropriate? The first wife and the second wife should still clearly divide their territories?"

In short, it made Wei Dong, who was originally preoccupied with important matters, laugh awkwardly and say "Pah!"

He told Chi Shiming, who had flown all the way from Shanghai, to get on the bus.

They could talk on the way. Yu Xiaoqiu also noticed that this Hong Kong girl, who was a year younger than her, was very good at managing the relationship between the two of them.

She wasn't clingy or distant; she was in complete control, much better than someone who had cried two or three times.

When they arrived at the wedding ceremony venue separately, they felt even more inferior.

Qin Yuye, who returned to Hong Kong ahead of schedule, must have prepared all the formal procedures to the extreme.

The churches, parks, and halls surrounding the Hong Kong Marriage Registry are designated wedding venues, where the ceremony can be completed with the presence of staff.

As for whether you choose a religious ceremony, a Western-style lawn wedding, or a banquet hall, either is fine.

In tropical regions, holding a wedding on a lawn in August seems a bit silly, so couples generally don't line up there at this time.

Qin Yuye seized this opportunity precisely because we didn't have the patience to wait in line, but we had money.

It's a bit unfair to try and force someone to change their wedding date, but we can change a hot outdoor wedding to a cool indoor one.

After Qin Yuye secured one of the few lawn wedding venues, she spent a fortune erecting a tent—a white PU tarpaulin worth millions of Hong Kong dollars—that sculpted a semi-shaded lawn. It's said that just getting the tent permit required her to get several uncles and councilors to sign and vouch for it.

Without the guarantee of local gentry and prominent figures, it would be very difficult to resolve this matter.

Of course, we invited them all at the same time.

Wei Dong drove the Dodge with the men, while Qin Yuye drove with the women. When they arrived at the park, they saw the white tarpaulin, which was more than ten meters high and stretched out like a chili pepper, very elegant and beautiful.

Reporters had long since gathered around the perimeter, watching various wealthy businessmen and celebrities dressed rather casually as they held a cocktail party under the enormous tent.

A row of air conditioners were desperately trying to cool the open space, so it wasn't too unbearable.

As a result, Wei Dong walked across the lawn, first curiously looking at the tent, then watching it with great interest by the outdoor air conditioner, and even discussing the thing with Qin Zhiming and Chi Shiming, which made Qin Yuye so angry that she almost kicked him. Shouldn't the wedding be about greeting guests from all sides?
Wei Dong was helplessly lifted up and muttered, "I don't even know her, and this wedding is just a formality anyway."

Qin Yuye actually kicked him. She had indeed seen many wives beating their husbands in Jiangzhou and had been itching to try it herself: "Anyway, I'll only do it this once!"

Wei Dong had no choice but to force himself to maintain a proper expression and thank and greet each of her members.

When it came to the reporters first, Qin Yuye immediately took all the credit: "That's right, we felt that weddings in Hong Kong are somewhat affected in the summer, so Pete decided to donate this landscape tent as a free venue for summer weddings, and we also hope to share our happiness with every couple who holds their wedding here..."

She was definitely speaking Cantonese, making Wei Dong look like a landlord's silly son, dressed in a black suit and tie, standing next to you with a forced smile, not caring what you were saying.

But Chow Yun-fat, along with Lam Wong-fu and Chi Sai-ming, were acting as groomsmen for Rang Wei-tung, and they all thought it was very respectable. They even translated what Rang Wei-tung's wife said for him.

Wei Dong was surprised to realize that this woman seemed to have no flaws, and he still needed to help her save face.

Because Qin Yuye's group consisted of her high school best friends, most of whom were in college, and many had flown back from prestigious overseas universities for the summer.

Everyone watched her marry a mainland guy with somewhat complicated expressions. If it weren't for the fact that Chow Yun-fat was involved, they wouldn't have wanted to come.

Even Wei Dong could see that Qin Yuye was the only one holding things together, which was a bit unfair, so he finally reached out and took her hand to face the situation together.

The bride was overjoyed and immediately gave him a flirtatious look.

Then, when she came to the wealthy tycoons, she adopted a completely submissive and submissive demeanor.

However, this scene alone changed the opinions of her friends, most of whom came from middle-class or at most moderately wealthy families.

The prominent family tycoons in the Hong Kong district chatted animatedly with Rang Weidong.

The groom, no longer the dullard he had been, exclaimed: "Holy crap, what a lunatic! He actually went to a small police station threatening to arrest me as a spy, trying to extort millions of dollars from me. He's from Indonesia, he sold me corn biotechnology before, and now he's trying to blackmail me. I moved my computer factory to Malaysia, and my chip factory to Shenzhen, and he thinks he can get a piece of this multi-million dollar project? I'll be damned, he even pulled out a gun..."

As it turned out, Lao Fang arrived at this time along with the leaders who had introduced Lao Heng to Wei Dong.

They were all dressed in suits and looked quite formal, but seeing how casual and relaxed they were here, they took off their coats and came over with smiles.

The family patriarchs then went over and shook hands with beaming smiles.

Finally, they surrounded the newlyweds and asked them to take care of each other.

This truly made the newlyweds look incredibly impressive.

The bridesmaids all asked who this groom was.
