In November, the temperature in Shallow Bay is getting colder and colder.
However, outside the Xingang Wharf, it is in full swing.
After 15 months of construction, as of last week, the total investment has officially exceeded 80 billion US dollars, and the financial and wealthy Shensi Group has increased its investment by 50 billion US dollars.
Such a huge investment, although mainly concentrated in the super ship outside Xingang, is unimaginable for the economic pull of Xingang.
There are more than 100,000 residents here, of whom only 5,000 are employed by Shensi Group, and most of the others are migrant workers from all over the world, distributed in hundreds of large and small engineering teams.
Some are builders who build buildings, some are dock workers who expand the wharf, some are repairers who repair ships, some are transport drivers who travel between the shallow bay railway station and the wharf, and some are construction workers in the Deep Thinking Zone.
Originally, Xingang only had a 6-lane highway - Xingang Road - connected to the provincial road, which was more than enough for the former Xingang Terminal.
Now it's different, and the surging crowd has completely paralyzed the only Newport Road.
Every day from 5 a.m. until 2 a.m. the next day, Xingang Road is extremely congested.
The city government has built 2 new roads at the same time, one leading north-south and one directly connecting to the city.
However, it will take at least three months before it can be opened.
Therefore, shipping has become another important means of transportation in Xingang.
There are also a lot of private boats here, who take on some of the responsibility of delivering to the Newport terminal, and the fees are cheaper than the larger companies.
Therefore, the large and small engineering teams of the dock like to hand over some less important cargo to these private vessels.
For example, building materials such as reinforced concrete, as well as fresh vegetables, meat and other foods, and all kinds of miscellaneous things.
Less than a kilometre outside the Xingang Wharf, there are three or four Grade A office buildings that have just been built.
Nowadays, there are many businesses, the elevators are busy, people come and go, and there are staff trotting forward on the phone everywhere.
Among them are blonde and blue-eyed foreign businessmen, who are either suppliers of modules in the Pondering Zone or shipyards that specialize in the ship business.
Next to it is the Silverport Center, two six-storey twin malls, which have also just been built.
Most of the shops on the first and second floors are already open, selling a variety of food and clothes, and the higher floors are still being renovated.
The former dock workers' residential area has now become an area where small businesses gather.
The previous dock workers rented out their houses one after another, and they bought a new workers' community specially built by the Qianwan City Government and lived in the new houses.
Nowadays, countless people come to Xingang every day by long-distance buses, trains, and planes to pan for gold.
Small merchants seeking opportunities have spontaneously formed a food court in the dockworkers' housing area, as well as a small wholesale commodity market, which is bustling with activity every night, and their main customers are the families of the dockworkers.
A large number of slogans with Chinese characteristics were hung all over the wharf, some talking about safety, and some were more direct.
"Work hard and do it fast for 200 days, and do a good job of building safety without relaxation!"
"Fulfill responsibilities and ensure safety."
"One person is safe, the whole family is happy."
"One day ahead of schedule, two days of salary!"
With a huge investment of hundreds of billions of dollars, the entire new port has shown a strange kind of prosperity.
Everyone here is impatient and hardworking, ambitious and tired, and it feels like a trip back to the unrestrained days of shallow bay from a small fishing port to a metropolis a few decades ago.
Jiang Yuan sat on the extended Range Rover, looking out the window with his eyes out of focus.
After a long time, he sighed and used the microphone to say to the driver, who was completely isolated from behind: "Let's go, let's go back."
"Okay, boss."
With the addition of air suspension, the Range Rover is like a smooth carpet and runs without ups and downs.
The driver swerves softly at a major intersection, trying not to cause any unexpected shaking to the boss behind him.
Helen got up from her kneeling position and sat next to Jiang Yuan, leaning against him with her cheeks crimson.
Jiang Yuan glanced at her, wiped a trace of dirt from the corner of her mouth with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Didn't wipe it clean."
He was about to wipe his hands with a tissue, but Helen pressed him with a smile on her face, and licked his fingers clean with her tongue.
Jiang Yuan's anger that he had just vented suddenly came up again: "You brought it on yourself!"
Helen smiled coquettishly: "Come on!
Punish me!
” I've never seen anything like this!
Jiang Yuan was as good as a stream, and immediately pressed the microphone and ordered: "Let's go to the beach and rest for a while." “......
Yes, boss. ” Fifteen minutes later, the driver parked the Range Rover on a secluded seaside.

As the Range Rover swayed rhythmically, the driver could only awkwardly get out of the car with the co-driver bodyguard to smoke.
After a while, four Mercedes Benzes quietly stopped next to the Range Rover, faintly protecting the Range Rover in the middle.
The driver and bodyguards were also unimpressed and continued to wait silently.
The sea breeze in November is quite cold.
After the two of them stood for twenty minutes, they were blown cold by the icy sea breeze.
Look at the Range Rover again, it's still shaking slightly.
This shaking is also very rhythmic, and it has won the essence of nine light and one heavy.
The two drivers could only smile bitterly, they could not go to other cars to warm themselves due to their duties, and could only boil in the sea breeze, so they lit a second cigarette.
After another twenty minutes, the Range Rover finally stopped after a high-frequency shaking.
The two drivers finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was finally over, otherwise they would really freeze into popsicles!
After a while, the car window was exposed, and Jiang Yuan's delicate face showed the relief after conquering the two mountains and the deep exhaustion that could not be concealed: "Go back to the base and take Miss Helen to the airport first."
"Yes, boss!"
The driver and the bodyguard got into the car tremblingly.
The extended Range Rover is too pitiful!
...... ......
On the other side of the ocean, Li Qingyu's conversation with Levinson was intermittent.
Levinson isn't in a hurry now, he's already sold all of his Apple shares anyway.
If Apple's board of directors is reconvened, the largest shareholder, with a 15% stake, will likely take ownership of Apple.
However, the territory was unexpectedly silent and did not ask for a board meeting, so Levinson was still sitting in this position.
That being the case, Levinson didn't want to cooperate with Shensi Group for whatever his thoughts.
Under his deliberate difficulty, the negotiation between the two naturally became more and more difficult.
Although the negotiations between Shensi Group and Apple have been inconclusive, Apple's stock is still growing slowly as Jiang Yuan's relationship with Microsoft has become increasingly hostile.
However, Li Qingyu is not in a hurry, her purpose is to push up Apple's market value, and now, a month later, Apple's market value has returned to $330 billion.
The operator did not hesitate to sell the retail stocks he had acquired before, and took the first one.
They hide in the dark, waiting for the moment when the final moment comes.
