My Lord, you need to stand up!

Chapter 618 We run a pizza shop, specializing in making empty promises.
At least up to this point, not many people realize what this simple wedding will bring.

Even the formal ceremony only lasts about ten or twenty minutes.

Qin Zhiming, the only elder present, briefly expressed his feelings during the ceremony presided over by the priest and then left.

Fortunately, extensive coverage by the Hong Kong media left behind a wealth of detailed footage from the scene.

It can be savored later.

The white tent was so sculptural that it was strikingly eye-catching.

In reality, there were just too many big shots gathered at the scene. Even just taking a group photo of everyone and labeling who each person was was enough to make people talk about it.

Chow Yun-fat was originally the most eye-catching, but in this situation he could only stand on the periphery, and his wife was also very inconspicuously hiding on the other side, and was not discovered until much later.

The main focus now is to uncover that Chi Shiming is Uncle De's daughter's boyfriend.

Qin Yuye also invited two assistant experts from Apple and AMD to the event, which can be considered as the company's participation as witness.

Steve let it go, letting Wei Dong finish the wedding and see everyone off one by one along the park driveway before he immediately took Lin Wangfu and Chi Shiming to take the Hong Kong-Kowloon Railway back to Pengzhen.

With the leaders here, Lin Wangfu's Singapore passport and return to Pengzhen are naturally not a problem.

Yu Xiaoqiu was clever enough not to accept Qin Yuye's invitation to go to Shanghai, and instead asked Wei Dong to go and learn how the two of them worked.

The cause is the core of the current situation.

Even Qin Yuye was not affected by the fact that they separated so soon after getting married. She immediately persuaded Chow Yun-fat's wife to go to Shanghai with Qin Zhiming. Chow Yun-fat could fly to Shanghai whenever he wanted, and it would be less likely for him to be disturbed by reporters.

Now the bride has grand ambitions to fully build her little family in Shanghai.

Chi Shih-ming gave a detailed report on the situation in Shanghai during this period on the Hong Kong-Kowloon special train.

Since last summer, projects around the Shanghai factory have been gradually completed and are now in the decoration and finishing stage.

The luxury apartments have already been occupied by engineers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, as well as foreign experts, but the most sought-after space is the office building, which has been attracting a steady stream of Chinese and foreign companies to rent offices since its completion.

Even though there are a lot of properties in Shanghai’s urban area, the property rights are currently unclear, and there are almost no modern office buildings. Not to mention that the office building is managed entirely by the Hong Kong company, which makes this Hong Kong-funded office building the first choice for foreign companies.

The main issue is that the interior decoration of the commercial center and hotel is still being rushed.

Lin Wangfu didn't even bother to look at the scenery outside; he was completely focused on listening to the conversation on the other side, and the slight surprise and doubt he had felt towards Feilubin was fading away.

Of course, there was another sudden surge when I came out of Pengzhen Railway Station. What kind of place is this?

The rural border post was packed with people, surrounded by thatched huts and banana trees, a chaotic scene of people sweating profusely.

Men unconsciously surround women at the center.

Wei Dong held his daughter tightly in his arms.

Fortunately, two 212 buses were already there to pick us up. We sped out of this super noisy but not very prosperous urban area, and we arrived at the famous little fishing village. It really is a fishing village, with all sorts of construction sites and decaying landscapes behind it.

Chi Shih-ming said that he had traveled the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway so many times, but he had never stopped here before. Just looking at it made him feel overwhelmed.

This made Wei Dong vaguely understand the term "overheated" that he occasionally saw in financial short videos in his later years.

An overheated situation can cause many derivative problems and negatively impact the development of normal order.

Fortunately, the construction site was only a few kilometers away in the urban area. They immediately rushed into the fields in the wilderness and arrived at the factory construction site more than ten kilometers later.

But the frenzied atmosphere of getting rich that permeated the area was gone; instead, everything was well-organized.

From the moment the two vehicles arrived, the progress was reported in batches by the regimental commander and then by the battalion and company commanders.

This undisguised military atmosphere, and the strict adherence to procedures, discipline, and safety regulations, filled Lin Wangfu with confidence once again.

Look at the aura that allows Wei Dong to lead everything here.

If a wafer fab needs to be near a water source, then build it near the water, or dig a small river to connect it!

The equipment from the sanitary napkin factory and the cosmetics factory has already been moved over. If we were to make room for the wafer fab, wouldn't that delay and affect the construction schedule here? So, let's just open another factory area for everything!
Without review or approval, without planning and management, the development zone just made the decision to start construction. Lunch was a bit late, and we ate a big pot of vegetables with everyone on the construction site. I only apologized to Lin Wangfu and said that he could bear with this meal and that we would stay in a five-star hotel later, where the accommodations and meals for foreign guests were arranged.

Lin Wangfu heard that Wei Dong, Chi Shiming, and even that beautiful young girl and the young men and women with children were all allowed to live on the construction site.

I was starting to get a little shocked.

What kind of spirit do these people possess?
With a plan in mind, Wei Dong decided not to take Lin Wangfu to Shanghai. After a busy afternoon, he was sure that he was going to open up a new factory area. He guessed that part of the packaging plant would be placed here. Since the wafer fab still needed to be upgraded and transformed, he might as well rebuild a new factory in a waterfront area.

If we could take this opportunity to build a wastewater treatment plant using dollars from Apple or AMD, it would be equivalent to introducing another advanced project.

After Wei Dong figured it out, he followed the same pattern and went to the small river on West Second Street.

In short, along with the new factory area, there will definitely be a new residential area.

When the sun was almost setting and the heat had subsided, several large trucks carrying people were led to the beach two kilometers away for a swim.

These have become regular recreational activities on the construction site in the afternoons.

He took the HK boy and the Singapore branch leader to the beach, while his daughter splashed around in the seawater, and pointed to the faint outline in the distance: "Yuen Long, HK, is a harbor about four kilometers away from here. So apart from the Pengzhen River, which is heavily guarded, this area is the best place for guys from all over the country who know how to read a map to swim across and smuggle themselves out."

The two immediately looked into the distance.

Chi Shiming was certainly aware: "I frequently travel between Jiangzhou and Hong Kong, so I must have met many people who want to go to Hong Kong. In recent years, there have been quite a few illegal immigrants to Hong Kong, and there have even been situations where they were everywhere and we couldn't stop them."

Lin Wangfu also shared his own experience: "In fact, Malaysia and Singapore have only stabilized and developed in the last ten or twenty years and are now in a better situation. When I was a child, I moved from Malaysia to Singapore with my parents. That was also to change my future and destiny. Even if we were poor, the future I saw in Singapore was definitely different from that in Malaysia."

Wei Dong was told to wait, and sure enough, after a short while, border guards brought over a string of animals tied with a rope.

They even greeted the lifeguards from the infrastructure team who were standing on higher ground.

Wei Dong pointed out: "They didn't allow us to swim at first, but after they found out that we had taken the initiative to set up a shark net and never went outside the area, they gradually trusted us. In the end, they even identified that those who spoke Mandarin were not trying to smuggle themselves in, and those who spoke dialects were apprehended and questioned first, which actually made things much more efficient."

None of the three paid any attention to the beautiful woman on the other side; their eyes were all fixed on the long line of dejected figures.

Chi Shiming already understood Rang Weidong very well: "Building more factories, constructing more buildings, and enabling more people to live better and more dignified lives is the direction of 'guidance' rather than suppression."

Wei Dong nodded in approval: "Yes! And I have a new idea. We want to build this place to be exceptionally beautiful, exceptionally open, and exceptionally humane. Anyone who dares to swim four kilometers will definitely have the opportunity to get a good job here and start a family here."

Chi Shih-ming looked up at the coastline and said "okay" decisively.

He grew up in Jiangzhou until high school, and then went to Hong Kong to finish high school before starting to work as a smuggler on the streets.

Of course, Wei Dong understood him immediately after explaining it to him.

Lin Wangfu was stunned: "Is this what you're thinking?"

Wei Dong laughed: "This is a truly humane era. You don't know, right now our domestic magazines are all about praising the humanistic care of Europe and America. They'd turn off the power to the whole city just to save a cat on a high-voltage line..."

A Singaporean engineering student said, "It's probably made up. Technically, you only need to stop on one street, but I've never seen anything like it."

Chi Shih-ming laughed loudly: "I've seen it, I've seen it. I can only see these on my flights and trains. Do you know how uncomfortable I am? But I can't bring Hong Kong books and magazines in, or I'll be fined if I get caught."

It was only after thirty or forty years that Wei Dong saw a completely different side of things: "Actually, at this time, the economies of Europe and America are prosperous. With money comes politeness and etiquette. The biggest goal of the mainland now that it has stabilized is to make money and develop the economy. But this kind of money-making is limited. At least there is this limitation in the dark. Even now, I think, does acquiring wealth mean it is mine?"

Pointing to the figures already faintly visible in the distance, he said, "Most people in this society are weak, not very smart, easily swayed by rumors, greedy for immediate gains, and quick to take advantage of others. But what if society had a good atmosphere, and everyone could follow the rules and foolishly squeeze together to work and make a living? In Western countries, besides caring about these people's votes, they don't care about their welfare, as long as they are fed and clothed. As for red-light districts, gambling, illicit goods, loan sharks, pig butchering scams, religious fraud, health product scams, Ponzi schemes, you can do whatever you want. If you fall into them, you deserve it. They'd love to weed out the weak and eliminate the weak. Smart people can exploit fools by any means necessary."

Chi Shiming squinted: "Isn't that how Hong Kong is? Hahaha, it reminds me of what Engels said: 'The bourgeoisie does everything in its power to instill in the people that the wealth of capitalists is the wealth of the whole country. So even the poorest patriots in East London will involuntarily puff out their chests when they think of Hong Kong's wealth and industry. Hong Kong people can be proud of their rich and powerful tycoons.'"

That's why he saw through this at such a young age when he arrived in Hong Kong. He first made money to get a ticket, and once he had the chance to enter, he... dating rich and beautiful women wasn't out of the question, but his goal wasn't to be a kept man, but to have real leverage to get on the table.

People from the 1970s and 80s wouldn't know how to speak without reading a few of the works of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and Mao.

So the theoretical reserves at this time are actually quite rich, for example, You Qili is an expert in this field.

Lin Wangfu was stunned again. Chi Shiming looked like he only had a mediocre high school education, but he knew so much?
Wei Dong explained to the genuine Chinese person: "This is the mainland that I hope you can understand. It's a country that will try its best to help you improve, even if you're a little silly or clumsy. It may not be perfect in every detail, but that's the main point. If you look at everything around us with this mindset, you might gradually understand what we're doing. In short, you're welcome to come to the mainland. You're free to come and go. We will help you realize your dreams."

Lin Wangfu should approach this matter with a thoughtful attitude and take his time to savor it.
