Rebirth 77: From Beachcombing to Becoming a Tycoon and Spoiling My Wife

Chen Ming nodded, not denying the problem.

"There is indeed a shortage of transportation capacity in our region, but our region is next to Ningjian City, which is the capital of our province."

"They mainly contract for projects in Southeast Asia, and they built a new 1,000-tonnage wharf in Pulang County, which is near Fuhai."

"We have signed a ten-year lease agreement with them, which allows for direct docking and transportation."

Jianning City is the central city of the province, and its main transportation commodities are energy, agricultural production materials, infrastructure building materials, and food.

They made a fortune from all of this.

Pulang County has a deep-water port, and the province is looking to build a 1,000-tonnage wharf.

Fuhai had its eye on this project for a long time. Once it was completed, it planned to lease a portion of the port from Ningjian City, which would allow for faster cash flow and other benefits.

The two regions reached an agreement, and Chen Ming never expected that it would come in handy today.

Kimura Yaro's eyes lit up as well.

"This would certainly make up for the shortcomings, and we also have excellent waters like the Widow Sea. Let's discuss it."

The Japanese researchers discussed the reports provided by both sides in hushed tones.

Hu Changshou felt somewhat anxious.

"I didn't expect you to have secured the usage rights to Ningjian City's thousand-ton-class port. But don't get too excited yet; the outcome is still uncertain."

Chen Ming lifted the tea lid and said calmly, "As long as we've done our best, that's enough. We don't have any other expectations."

We discussed it all morning.

The group went to the Fisheries Bureau's canteen for lunch.

The food here is similar to that in the region, with about ten dishes in total, including both meat and vegetables, and the staple food is steamed buns and rice.

Yang Bai ordered a fried crispy fish, braised pork, and bok choy, along with a bowl of rice, and then sat down next to Hou Sanli.

Hou Sanli placed his chicken leg into Yang Bai's aluminum box.

"Yang Bai, if we capture you this time, we'll have done a great service, and I'll give you a kick."

Yang Bai picked up a chicken leg and took a bite.

"I'm a spy, it's not good for you to be so close to me."

Hou Sanli's expression tightened slightly, and he said with an awkward smile, "I believe you don't have to follow procedures for everything. As long as the matter is investigated and the misunderstanding is cleared up, that's fine."

Yang Bai smiled.

"I was just kidding, don't take it seriously. It's normal for you to doubt me. I just want to do a good job in the present situation so that I can go back and let my fellow villagers live a better life."

Having experienced the investigations and doubts of his previous life, Yang Baili was already capable of handling them.

This time, it was only revealed proactively under extremely safe conditions.

His gaze fell on Chen Ming.

"Director Chen, the number of ports with a capacity of 1,000 tons in the province is relatively small at present, but if our region wants to develop, it is necessary to build our own deep-water port with a capacity of 1,000 tons."

"As far as I know, there are similar places in Fuhai."

Chen Ming stopped using his chopsticks.

"There are suitable places, but we need to let the provincial leaders see the value of Fuhai."

"Currently, we are surrounded by Quanzhou Port and Ningjian Port. They have excellent ports capable of handling thousands of tons of cargo, and we are in trouble."

Ports capable of handling thousands of tons of cargo require substantial material and financial resources. Both Quanzhou Port and Ningjian Port rank among the top three in the province in terms of economic size.

Fuhai consistently ranks between third and fourth at the end of each year, almost on par with the mountainous regions within the area.

Getting approval for a port with a capacity of thousands of tons is extremely difficult.

Yang Bai sighed. It was the same in his previous life; the lack of a thousand-ton port greatly hindered the development momentum of the Fuhai area.

It has become a backdrop for the cities of Quanzhou and Nanjing.

"Will completing the order from Japan make it visible to the higher-ups?"

Chen Ming shook his head.

"It's uncertain, unless Japan intends to cooperate with us long-term, and that, combined with other maritime trade, would be sufficient."

Building a port capable of handling thousands of tons of cargo is not something that can be accomplished overnight.

It needs to be valued; otherwise, all that manpower and resources would be wasted.

At this moment, a clerk interrupted the conversation.

"Comrades, the Japanese side has made its choice. Please proceed to the meeting room."

"it is good."

Chen Ming put down his lunchbox.

The group entered the meeting room.

Kimura Yaro has two contracts in his hands.

It was pushed in front of the two of them.

"Toyo Suisan Co., Ltd. ultimately chose the Fuhai area, allocating 70% of the contract. The Quanzhou area received 30%, and there is an opportunity for further cooperation in the future."

The moment the results were announced, Chen Ming, Yang Bai, Zhang Wei, and Hou Sanli were secretly delighted.

Chen Ming's lips curled up slightly as he stood up and shook hands with Kimura Yarou.

"I am really looking forward to this collaboration with Japan."

"So are we."

Kimura Yero smiled.

Hu Changshou's face was ashen, filled with anger.

But he still maintained the most basic etiquette.

After signing the 30% contract, he shook hands with the Japanese side, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Kimura Yaro grasped Yang Bai's hand.

"The main reason I was able to sign this contract is because of Mr. Yang, who showed me the professionalism of the Fuhai area."

"There's a saying in China that goes, 'Don't be bound by convention when recruiting talent.' The leaders of Fuhai area are willing to give important positions to a fisherman and have the right to believe in his abilities. I believe this business deal will be very successful and we will have a pleasant collaboration."

Yang Bai smiled and nodded, his tone firm and steady: "Don't worry, I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Kimura."

In his heart, however, he secretly thought that if he could successfully secure this large foreign trade order, the entire aquatic product industry in Fuhai County would be completely revitalized, and the fleet, fishing grounds, and port would likely be busy for a while.

The group returned to the guesthouse and successfully finalized the contract and signed the order. Yang Bai didn't dare linger, knowing that the entire Fisheries Bureau would be busy with preparations and coordination, and the affairs would be numerous and complicated.

He quickly packed his luggage and had just stepped out of the guesthouse when he saw Kimura Yarou standing quietly outside the door, waiting to see him off.

Kimura Yarou looked at him and said sincerely, "Mr. Yang, the thing I'm most fortunate to have made is a friend like you during my trip to China. We can correspond in the future, and I hope that one day you can visit Japan, where I will host you and show you around."

Yang Bai smiled calmly and nodded slightly: "There will definitely be opportunities in the future."

With China's growing strength and increasing openness to the outside world, Yang Bai wants to take his family around the world to fish and eat seafood in various places.

Japan is a must-visit destination.

Hou Sanli, carrying the suitcase, asked, "Yang Bai, what were you whispering about with that little Japanese guy?"

"Nothing much, they just want me to go to Japan for fun?" Yang Bai lifted his luggage onto the luggage rack.

Hou Sanli waved his hand.

"Go to Japan? Impossible. You should give up on that idea."

"You can't even get a passport; it's strictly controlled."

Yang Bai sat in his seat, gazing out the window.

He waved goodbye to Kimura Yaro.

"goodbye."

The car started and left the guesthouse.

Yang Bai murmured, "The future is possible."
