Jagged city

Jagged City - Chapter 270 Arms Dealer

In the blink of an eye, in May, the highway from Xiliang to the four surrounding cities was fully completed. Governor Song Chunrong came to the intersection of Xiliang Expressway to cut the ribbon. The mayors of Xiliang and other five cities served as a foil. This time the ribbon cutting was even more grand and grand. Significant. ﹛ (～ o ～)y﹜On behalf of the provincial party committee and the provincial government, the governor congratulated the five Xiliang cities and delivered a speech, saying that the five Xiliang cities will form a new economic circle and become another engine for the development of Northwest Province , Encourage you to make persistent efforts and contribute to the take-off of the Northwest.

After the ribbon-cutting, accompanied by Lin Tao, the governor and four mayors visited the Xiliang New District under construction.Looking at the brand-new urban area, Song Chunrong sighed and said: "Xiliang was a relatively backward prefecture-level city half a year ago, but this new area is like a city that has fallen from the sky. Although the area is not as large as the provincial capital city, the planning and building specifications are undoubtedly consistent. It surpassed the Northwest City and reached the international standard."

Bi Minghua, the director of publicity who accompanied Song Chunrong, said with a smile: "I think it has not only reached the international standard, but also exceeded it. The main road has sixteen lanes, a bus lane, a heavy truck lane, and a bicycle lane. This is the first time I have seen it. To three special lines. Mayor Lin, tell me what you think?"

Lin Tao said with a smile: "This is also our advantage in the northwest. It has a vast area. Since we have established a new city, we will give full play to our regional advantages. Now not only the developed cities in the West, but also many cities in my country are facing traffic congestion. Xiliang has so much land, so it is There is no need to build a crowded city, so the main roads and branch roads are basically twice the width of roads in other cities. This new city is designed for 300 million permanent residents and 300 million floating population. However, the traffic carrying capacity reaches 200 million. In the next 50 years, or even [-] years, transportation can be satisfied without building a subway. If it can be summed up in one concept, it is comfort.”

"That's right. I think the greenery in this city is also extraordinary." Governor Song looked at the two rows of tall ** country phoenix trees on both sides of the main road through the bus, and couldn't help admiring.

"Green represents hope and vitality. People who work, live and study in this new city will be infected by the vitality here, positive, free and comfortable life, rather than the busyness of modern urban machinery full of prosperity and stress."

"Very well, such a city is indeed attractive. Looking at this thriving city, I want to buy a house and come here to retire after I retire."

Everyone laughed and didn't take it seriously.Continue to accompany the governor to visit the city.

When Governor Song saw the temple built on the hill, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. The temple hadn't been completed yet, but the prototype could be seen. The huge arc-shaped temple stood tall, full of majesty and mystery.Although only one-third of the project has just been completed, the belt style has brought a lot of shock to people. An ancient and desolate atmosphere seems to rush towards the face, which makes people unconsciously feel awe.

Governor Song said: "The excavation of the ancient Qiang Temple has attracted worldwide attention, and now it is called a 'true miracle'. I heard that there are magical places on the ground of the underground palace. I am afraid that it will become the most in the world in the future. This is the pride of the Northwest. Then Come, the Xiliang government will face the influx of domestic and foreign tourists and various organizations, you Xiliang government must be ready to meet the challenge!"

"Well, we have been preparing for it. It has not yet opened to the public, but the number of tourist groups that have come successively has exceeded 30. If it is opened, it is conservatively estimated that there will be more than 200 million tourists a year. This requires multiple departments With cooperation, opportunities also bring crises, this is a test for Xiliang, please rest assured, Governor Song, we will definitely do the corresponding work well."

Song Chunrong nodded, and Bi Minghua next to him asked, "With so many tourists, we need a lot of high-end hotels. We can't embarrass our Northwest Province!"

"It is true. With the increase of passenger flow, there must be enough hotels to take over. The hotel standard in Xiliang New Area is three-star or above. Small hotels are not approved. At present, more than ten international hotel companies have invested here, and they have been built. There are five-star hotels and two four-star hotels of the Xiliang government. Six five-star hotels, twelve four-star hotels, and 25 three-star hotels are under construction. It will double. The maximum daily capacity will reach [-]."

"Oh? There are no hotels below three stars, so ordinary tourists, migrant workers, and those who lack financial means have nowhere to live." Governor Song asked with a frown.Xin said, you can't just ask for standards, but don't care about favors.It is unrealistic for you to let migrant workers spend more than [-] yuan a day for accommodation!

Lin Tao said with a smile: "Now there are many small hotels in the old district. These newly approved small hotels are strictly inspected and must meet fire protection, sanitation, and safety standards. In addition, the old district is funded by the government and is building a number of low-rent housing. Can It can satisfy about 2 migrant workers, and the rent is set at [-] yuan per month, which is basically affordable. At present, it can accommodate [-] people."

"Hahaha—use the new city to drive the old city, and also divert the pressure from the new city, very good, very good." Governor Song couldn't help laughing.The provincial government officials who came with them all thought in their hearts that the governor laughed all the way to the mayor Lin, and kept saying "good, good." They even laughed happily. This is an inspection of other prefecture-level cities. This phenomenon has never happened before. It seems that this Mayor Lin is really capable. Look at this Xiliang New City, what an achievement this is. It can also be described as a miracle. It is really a city of heaven!Moreover, Lin Tao is lucky enough to be able to discover world relics when building a new city. Xiliang New District will not be popular if he wants to.

The evening news of the same day quoted Governor Song's claim that Xiliang New City was called the "city that fell from heaven", and people will call it "Tiancheng" with open mouths.

The miracle of Xiliang New District was uprooted.The old districts are also undergoing transformation, first of all, street beauty and greening, and urban sanitation.Because foreign tourists mainly live in the old districts, the image of the old districts needs to be improved.It is especially worth mentioning that the food street in the old Xiliang District has been transformed from the original one street into three wider streets, forming a food city.All are bluestone paving.Originally, the old street was located in the center, and still maintained the characteristic flavor of Xiliang, while the other two streets added many elements of ethnic characteristics.It brings together many snack merchants from all over the country.There are more than 20 foreign specialty restaurants joining the competition of snack culture.The Yuan Textile Factory in front of the snack street has been transformed into a cultural factory, and the Xiliang Literature and Art Magazine has moved into it.Art gallery, music room, studio and other multi-cultural elements.On the east side of the snack street, the flea market has been converted into an antique, stationery, and art business.On the west side is Bar Street.This three-mile radius has become Xiliang's city within a city that never sleeps.This is just a part of the renovation of the old city. In the old district, parks, old theaters, and other measures to benefit the people are gradually being constructed.The new area is an international city, and the old area is an old area with ethnic characteristics. Although there is mutual penetration, there is still a sharp contrast.One step difference, can enter two different time and space.If you are a tourist, 10 minutes ago, you saw international supermodels of various races walking on the stage in fashionable clothes, showing off your beautiful legs and breasts. 10 minutes later, on the other side of the city, you saw an old man from Northwest squatting in a woolen belly towel, with a ravine face on his face. Eating a big bowl of mutton steamed buns at the door and showing a simple and honest smile to you, I think you will definitely remember this city.

Just as the governor was sent away, another deputy minister from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs came the next day. Lin Tao had a quick meeting and was received by the secretary and Li Linwan.Lin Tao rushed to Xiguan County to attend the opening ceremony of the meat joint factory and breeding base.This project is in cooperation with the big Mexican businessman Tello.In addition, Tello also secretly cooperated with the military and cooperated with the Lin family in international trade. Such a person came to this small town in the west to participate in the ceremony again, and Lin Tao had to personally receive him.When Tello saw Lin Tao, he gave him an extremely warm hug.Tello's young wife gave Lin Tao a face-to-face, and Lin Tao felt a little embarrassed, forgetting the etiquette of this matter.Xin said that it was a good thing that Xiao Xiao was not brought here, and it would be a disadvantage if Te Luo gave her a close-to-face kiss.While Lin Tao was chatting and laughing with Te Luo, Minister Cao of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was a little stern, thinking that even if he went to Dongshan Province, Song Chunrong would have to accompany him in person, you little mayor actually slipped away.And this Zhang Yuhe secretary is very petulant. He neither agrees nor disagrees with the arrangement of the Xiliang Foreign Affairs Bureau proposed by himself. It is ambiguous. temporary office.But Minister Cao wants to control the Xiliang Foreign Affairs Bureau and deploy a large number of his cronies.Let the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs live in the Xiliang Foreign Affairs Bureau and become the overlord of the Xiliang Foreign Affairs Bureau.Zhang Yuhe was an old fox, and he didn't want to offend the superior, nor did he want to sacrifice Xiliang's interests.In addition, Zhang Yuhe felt that Minister Cao had to be dealt with by Lin Tao.Thinking of Zhang Yuhe, I feel that I am not as good as Lin Tao, so I don't feel too wronged.

While Minister Cao was thinking about fighting for power, Lin Tao and Tello were also having a secret conversation. The two sat in a Mercedes-Benz business car, took out red wine from the car refrigerator, and poured two glasses.Tello took out another exquisite wooden box, which contained two Cuban cigars.To be honest, Lin Tao doesn't like this kind of heavy taste, and he doesn't want to be arty and elegant, but he can't stand Troy's enthusiasm, and he trims the cigar very carefully, sprays it with a humidifier, just like a tea ceremony, and then respectfully hands it to Lin Tao , and lit the lighter.Lin Tao could only accept it very gratefully, and took a 'beautiful' breath. This kind of comfortable expression made Tero very satisfied and happy. It seemed that there were two chimneys in the car, and Lin Tao had to open the sunroof.

Tello said with a smile: "High-end seafood products are selling very quickly in China. Your father and I are very happy to cooperate. It is estimated that the light seafood products alone will make a profit of [-] million U.S. dollars this year. China is indeed the world's largest consumer market , it seems that my eyesight is quite sharp.”

Lin Tao really didn't know how profitable the cooperation between Junlian Group and Tello Group was.Hearing what Tello said, it seems that our company has not lost money, otherwise, it would not have invested in the construction of a super hotel with 500 rooms in Xiliang New District.What Lin Zhiyuan meant was to build the best one, and all international hotels should be suppressed. This is Lin Zhiyuan's arrogance.In addition, the newly allocated company land in Xiliang New District gave Junlian a lot of confidence. The land with a radius of 50 square kilometers has now increased in value by more than 15 billion.Moreover, the land fee occupied by the Temple of Creation has been fully accounted for. 16 billion, [-] billion is enough to spend on big hotels.Another year so far, fast food restaurants have spread all over the country's major cities.Millions of net profits are transferred to the financial account of the head office every day, which gives Lin Zhiyuan the confidence to purchase eight ocean-going freighters through Tello.One floor below the lowest market price.Tello got it from a big oilman in the Middle East.Lin Tao asked naval professionals for an evaluation, and there was no quality problem.The profit at this level is [-] million, and Lin Tao is naturally very grateful for such a big gift from Tello.In fact, Tello was even happier, because he spent a billion yuan to get these eight boats by special means.He made a profit of [-] billion by changing hands, so he was naturally extremely happy.The eight ships Junlian Company paid in three installments, with a down payment of [-] billion, and then [-] million every other year, all paid in four years.Tello also conducted a comprehensive investigation after contacting the Lin family, and the investigation of Junlian's assets was also inseparable. Therefore, he readily agreed to an annual payment of [-] million.Tello believes that the four-year cooperation with the Lin family will generate a hundredfold profit.Because there will be a big business soon that needs Lin Tao to take the line.In addition to being a big chaebol, this Troy is also a big international arms dealer.

Lin Tao could only smile apologetically at Te Luo's complacent appearance, thinking in his heart that this guy is familiar with me, and he doesn't pretend at all, so he can say what he wants.

"Looking at you, it seems that this profit is not enough to make you so happy. Are there other good things?" Lin Tao asked with a smile.

"You still know me, Lin. There is indeed a big win-win business." Tello stretched his neck, lowered his voice, and smiled slyly.

"What big business?" Lin Tao's heart skipped a beat, and he had a premonition.

"Two satellites, five hundred surface-to-air missiles. Eighteen radar stations. Thirty fighter planes and one military factory." Tello said tremblingly.

"Really?" Lin Tao couldn't believe it.

"It's more real than real gold." Tello said while holding Lin Tao's hand.Lin Tao shivered and retracted his hand. Lin Tao's appearance made Tero laugh.

"Be more specific." Lin Tao said in a low voice.

"The satellites belong to two small countries in the Middle East. They are commercial satellites in name. Is it useful? It depends on how you use it, haha. You need to send someone to guide you in radar stations and military sieges. Missiles and fighter planes, I will divide them Batch away—"

Lin Tao was very moved. Lin Tao didn't know much about the country's military trade with foreign countries, but now he got on this line, and Qitro only recognized Lin Tao, so Lin Tao, the middleman, was under great pressure.More responsibility means more danger!This guy, Tello, is registered with the CIA, and he is a registered figure in the six offices.This time, I also entered the country secretly under a pseudonym, and the double is still holding a large banquet in Mexico.This time he came only under the command of an external representative of the Trout Group.His wife disguised herself as a secretary.At present, only a few bigwigs in the army and the head of national security know that Troy has come to the Northwest again.You can see the secret of this trip.That night, Lin Tao took Tello secretly into the underground base of Gaotian International Security Company.Tello looked at the security base curiously. Accompanied by Lin Tao, he entered a reception room and arranged for people to accompany Tello. Lin Tao then entered the top-secret contact room and had a video conference. Mr. Shang, Mr. Jin, and Commander Chen appeared on the screen. .When Lin Tao told the story, the three bosses were also taken aback.Tell Lin Tao to wait for the news, no more than three days at the latest.This kind of large-scale military transaction had to consider all aspects, and even the three big shots couldn't make a decision on the spot.

After Lin Tao came out, with a smile, he invited Tello to visit the training base.It was also the first time for Troy to come here. He looked at the novelty everywhere and gave admiration from time to time, especially when he saw the special forces training, he kept his mouth open.On the training ground, there is a special team of a security company practicing rescue of hostages.The five special team members crawled, jumped, and climbed over the five-meter-high wall with barbed wire to assassinate the lurking sentry. After the hostages were captured, they shot at the gangsters, and finally rescued the hostages safely.

"Is this your military's secret training?" Tello asked in amazement. Tello was very excited that Lin Tao could let him see this kind of secret, which means that the relationship between the two is constantly improving and they trust each other.This is a candor.

Lin Tao said with a smile: "This is an international security company, not the army. If you need it, you can hire them. Of course, the commission is very expensive."

"God, my personal bodyguard team is completely scum compared to them. It seems that they are more powerful than seals!" Tello exclaimed.

Lin Tao also said slightly proudly: "Of course, besides receiving special training, they also got my guidance."

"Oh, Lin, dear Lin, can you give me five of them, how about 1000 million US dollars each? No, [-] million US dollars for five people. I believe that with them protecting me, I can escape in the rain of bullets."

"It's not necessary. If you hire them as a team, it only costs $100 million a month. But you can only hire them for three months because they still need training, but you can continue to hire teams with the same combat power. They are not only proficient in force, And also two foreign languages.”

"Dear Lin, I'm going to sign the contract now. Let's sign a three-year contract first. I can pay you 1000 million dollars first." Tello said excitedly.

Lin Tao shook his head.

"Why not?" Tello was a little excited.

Lin Tao smiled and said: "I just have the right to enter here, the boss of the company, and my wife is in charge of all business. I can introduce you to my wife later. She should return to the base soon."

Lin Tao looked at his watch and said.

Tello laughed, thinking that Lin Tao was joking, and Tello thought that the security company belonged to Lin Tao.

"That's great. I'm still sorry that I can't see Ms. Xiao, you know? Ms. Xiao is a queen to me." Tello said, clutching his chest.

"In China, there is a saying, 'A friend's wife, don't be bullied!' This nasty compliment is a provocation to me. Do you want to fight me?" Lin Tao snorted.There was an aura on him.

"No, no, how dare I fight you?" Tello was a little shocked.The heart seemed to be jumping out of the chest.You know, after Lin Tao rescued the hostages in Mexico, he left behind the terrifying title of killing god in the special brigade, and some people called Lin Tao the devil.It is unimaginable for one person to kill more than 30 drug bandits with guns in the dark mountain forest.Tello praised Lin Tao for daring to challenge him.

"Damn, is my joke too much? It seems that Tello still doesn't understand Chinese culture, and I didn't see that I was teasing him." Lin Tao quickly put his arms around Tello's shoulders, explaining that this is Just kidding, this is also an expression of Chinese culture.Sometimes what I say is ironic, which requires the cooperation of the scene. For a friend like you, I am just joking with you now.

"God, I was scared to death. It seems that I have to study Chinese culture well. Lin, friend, good friend."

"Yes, we are good friends!" Lin Tao laughed.

Trout said in his heart, don't offend Lin, not to mention the killing god, the team under his guidance alone can sneak into Mexico and kill me.My goddess, it seems that I can only admire you silently in my heart.Tello prayed with a cross in his heart.
