Chapter 508 Unexpectedly
Dongjiao Town is now the Dongjiao New Area.

Recently, more than a dozen high-rise residential areas have been planned here, and the real estate projects are all under construction.Passing by the outside of the town, there are large construction sites one after another, making Dongjiao Town look like a rapidly developing big city...

"Is that the urban area of ​​Coconut City? It looks so big." Li Meitong asked, looking at the [-]-[-]-story apartment building under construction.

Ellie shakes her head...

"Is Coconut City a first-tier city in the Mainland? Is it easy to find a job here?"

Ellie was a little dazed, and scratched her head: "This is Dongjiao Town, a town in Coconut City. However, Dongjiao Town is located in the planning area of ​​Coconut State, and its development is relatively fast. Coconut State... Coconut State..."

"Sixth-tier cities." Chen Mo said.

Ellie nods...

"Sixth-tier cities?" Li Meitong opened her mouth, and even Liu Zihao looked over.

"China's cities are divided into tiers. Super-first-tier cities include Shanghai, North, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou. First-tier cities include Chengdu, Hangzhou, Chongqing... Second-tier cities, KM City, DL City, etc... Coconut City, last year's city ranking You haven’t even entered a fifth-tier city, so it’s considered a sixth-tier city.” Ellie said, “Is this the first time you’ve come to other places in China except Wanwan Province?”

"Uh..." Li Meitong nodded. She went to the United States at the age of 16, and her impression of China was only based on the propaganda in the bay.After going to the United States, I watched some videos of inland cities on YouTube, but I didn't form a specific concept...

In the ranking of domestic cities, Coconut State did not make the list last year.But this year, it should be on the list, and it should not be difficult to enter third-tier cities or fourth-tier cities...

"How many tier cities is Haikou? I just saw the city of Haikou on the plane, it's so big..." Li Meitong asked.

"Haikou, it seems to be a third-tier city. It's the top city among the third-tier cities..." Ellie said.

Li Meitong's mouth opened wide.

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Bai Xiaoou shook his head with a smile and looked at Chen Mo: "In today's 500-meter dragon boat final, tell me, is it possible for the Huafeng Group team to win No.1."

"It's hard. Your team's performance in the qualifiers was not very good..." There are 13 teams participating in the finals today.7 men's teams and 6 women's teams...

Chen Mo and the others mainly watched the men's competition. Although the Huafeng Group qualified for the finals, judging from their previous performance, it was difficult for them to enter the top three.The most likely to win the championship is Chen Mo and his hometown Chongzhou Dragon Boat Team.This team won three domestic dragon boat races last year... But Chen Mo talked with the coach of this team. Although they won three championships last year, the operation of the dragon boat team was still at a loss last year.

In the Coconut State International Dragon Boat Race, every participating team worked hard to come for No.1.

If you can win the championship, it can be said that it is not an exaggeration to become rich overnight.

Chen Mo and the others went to Houhai, and the match was already underway.There are many hawkers with stalls in the park, Huafeng Clothing Company also opened a clothing store here, selling Hanfu...

On the shore, many people were wearing Hanfu, Chinese, white, and even black, who were cheering for the contestants on the shore.

In the 500m men's final, there was also a team from Tanzania, with all black skin, a row of white teeth when they smiled, and a green retro buckle youth suit...

There are also two white teams and one team from Europe.Another team from San Bernie, California, USA...

The European team wore chinoiserie loose tops.The team representing St. Bernie's wears ancient Chinese-style lay gowns, with the words 'Coconut State St. Bernie's Friendship City' written in both Chinese and English on the back.

Another team is from Singapore... of the remaining three teams, one represents Huafeng Group.There are two remaining teams, one is the Chongzhou Dragon Boat Team, and the other is the Guangzhou Hualuo Township Dragon Boat Team...

Chen Mo and the others went just right, and three teams are preparing to start the match.

Today's competition was broadcast live by CCTV Sports Channel, as well as live broadcasts from various networks and video sites... The competition started with a traditional gong and drum, and when the gong and drum sounded, the contestants could row the dragon boat...

"Brother, here." Chen Xiao saw Chen Mo from a distance in the stands, and called, jumping up and down.

Chen Mo and the others walked over...

Chen Xiao, Chen Chen, and Zhang Yan are together.

"Brother, sister-in-law..." Chen Xiao handed Chen Mo and Ellie a bottle of mineral water, squeezed to sit next to Ellie, and reached out to touch Ellie's belly: "Is the little guy asleep? Why didn't you kick your belly?" .”

"He kicked me just now, it's annoying to death, what a baby with ADHD." The child grew up in her belly day by day, Ellie was happy and in pain.

Chen Xiao touched Ellie's belly and didn't want to open it. Chen Mo reached out and knocked her on the head: "I like children so much, you are pregnant with one."

"I don't want it." Chen Xiao shook her head with fear on her face.

The dragon boat race started, three dragon boats, rowers paddling with the drums.Under the stands, on the shore, there are still many spectators cheering for the players...

In the morning, the men's champion, runner-up and third runner-up will be determined.

The champion was somewhat unexpected, it was the Guangzhou Hualuo Township Dragon Boat Team.It's really unexpected. This team was not favored before, and the results of the previous qualifiers were also very bad...

No.2 is the Chongzhou dragon boat team, only 11.3 seconds behind No., just a little bit, an exhalation time.

The men's champion of the 500-meter dragon boat race is 500 million. No.1, the Dragon Boat Team of Hualuo Township in Guangzhou is actually an amateur team. The average age of the dragon boat team is 34 years old, and the captain is the head of Hualuo Township... During the award acceptance speech, the head of Hualuo Village was very excited , 500 million, distributed to their team of 25 people, each person can get 16 after tax... and they also obtained the qualification for the rally.The rally championship bonus is 3 million.There is also a bonus of 5000 million for the runner-up... the worst thing is to get a third place, a bonus of 2000 million.

500m men's runner-up, 230 million prize money.The members of the Chongzhou Dragon Boat Team were very depressed. The difference was 1.3 seconds...but the prize money was 270 million less.However, they have also entered the rally qualification, and they will prepare for the rally next, hitting 3 million prize money...

No.3, also somewhat unexpected, is the dragon boat team of Tanzania, which won a bonus of 120 million.But this bonus has to deduct 20.00% tax...they got 96 in their hands.This group of buddies danced excitedly after receiving the trophy...

In Houhai, Coconut State, there will be an important game every Friday for the next two months.In Houhai Park, various activities are held every day, as well as large-scale music festivals...
