Chapter 2248

Although Zhang Jinbao can be regarded as a local socialite in Danzhou, he actually doesn’t come to Sanya very often. On average, he only comes once every two years. Moreover, he usually comes to Sanya for official business, and there are basically not many people here.

I don’t have the opportunity to stay for a long time, so I’m not particularly familiar with the social conditions here. But in front of the students in my own academy, of course I still have to show off my full style.

"Let me tell you, every time you come to Beijing, you will find a lot of new changes. The city is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more houses, and the market is getting more and more prosperous. Why is this? That's because the city is getting bigger and bigger.

Rich people and talented people are all trying their best to get here! If you want to be a great person in the future, you must make this the goal of your efforts!"

Zhang Jinbao walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and behind him were students carrying large and small bags. It was not too far from the Sanya Port Terminal to the nearby train station. In order to save money, Zhang Jinbao did not hire laborers.

I came to carry the luggage of my group and left it directly to the students.

The money saved can be used to take the students a short distance by train to the city over Port Victory, so that they can also take this opportunity to open their eyes and see what the legendary train is like.

This railway runs through the entire city, from Sanya Port to the inland Tiandu Industrial Zone, connecting almost all important areas in Sanya, realizing efficient transportation of freight and passengers, and is one of the most important infrastructure facilities in Sanya. Of course

To non-locals, the railway is simply a jaw-dropping engineering marvel.

No one can remain completely calm when seeing trains and railways for the first time, and Zhang Jinbao was no exception. When he first came to Sanya and saw this big guy speeding on the railway tracks, his jaw almost dropped. However, after riding it once

After seeing the train, Zhang Jinbao quickly realized the huge role this iron guy had in improving transportation efficiency. Although he still does not fully understand the operating principle of the train, this does not prevent him from becoming a fan of this new mode of transportation.

wholesale.

Zhang Jinbao even discussed building a similar railway locally with Zhang Xin, the mayor of Danzhou, more than once. However, due to various objective reasons, for a long time in Danzhou, only the port area had some small steam stations for transshipment of goods.

The range and carrying capacity of the locomotive cannot be compared with the main line in Sanya, let alone the freight railway from Changhua to Shilu.

Fortunately, after the rapid rise of Changhua, which is also on the west coast, in recent years, the demand for cargo handling has increased significantly. However, the local natural conditions are limited and it is difficult to build a large port. Taking into account the future development needs, the Executive Committee decided to cooperate with Danzhou

A train line is planned between Changhua and Changhua.

However, the total length of this line is more than twice as long as the existing railways in Sanya and Changhua combined. This is considered a national-level project for Haihan State, and the construction period alone will take several years.

, it is still very early before it is completed and opened to traffic. When Zhang Jinbao came to Sanya for business this time, he could let his protégé who was accompanying him see the actual operation of this kind of transportation.

Zhang Jinbao bought the tickets at the ticket window of the station with ease, and then distributed them to the students: "Take one for each person, please take it. The tickets must be checked when entering and leaving the station!"

The train tickets are made of fine thick kraft paper with the Haihan Railway logo printed on it. Ordinary individual passengers can only take the section between the three stations of Sanya Port, Victory Port and Victory Fort, and further inland.

To go to the station, only those who work in Tiandu can arrive. And those people basically hold monthly passes that are collectively issued by their work units, which cannot be bought at the train station.

As for those who need to occasionally go to Tiandu for official business, they must purchase a special official ticket at the train station with their own identity certificate.

The reason why these measures are taken is to prevent idlers from entering the Tiandu Industrial Zone to the greatest extent, especially to prevent the entry of foreign personnel, so as to protect the industrial facilities and technical secrets hidden in the mountains and forests from being leaked.

Although this method may not achieve 100% confidentiality effect, it does effectively reduce the possibility of leakage of technical secrets. And advanced industrial technology that transcends the times is one of the important capitals for Haihan's rapid rise.

But for Zhang Jinbao and his students, they don’t need to know so many secrets about this railway. They only need to take the time to appreciate the scenery along the way after the train starts, and experience the convenience brought by this advanced technology.

Just traveling is enough.

The students who took the train for the first time were naturally very excited. From the moment they entered the train station, they couldn't help but point at the novel things around them and talk about them. However, the locals have long been accustomed to the reactions of such foreign visitors, and they can only look at them twice.

He also turned his attention elsewhere.

"Look to the right, the places with scaffoldings on the seaside are the Victory Port Shipyard. Several seniors who graduated from the academy in the past few years have worked here. Most of the warships of our navy are here.

Construction and launching... The Executive Committee has a vivid metaphor for this place, calling it the cradle of our navy."

While the train was traveling, Zhang Jinbao did not forget to explain to the students the places worth paying attention to along the way, and also reminded them that they would have the opportunity to work and live here in the future.

In addition to the shipyard in the distance, you can also observe from the train that on the official road parallel to the railway, the speed of the horse-drawn carriage is significantly slower. This intuitive contrast highlights the advantage of the railway in terms of transportation timeliness.

The distance from Sanya Port Station to Shengli Port Station is only six or seven miles. The train arrived at Shengli Port Station very quickly, but it did not stop briefly and then start heading to the next station like normal operation.

Zhang Jinbao saw that the locals in the same carriage were also muttering about this, so he asked the students to sit still. He got up and walked to the door of the carriage, intending to go to the platform to ask what happened.

However, Zhang Jinbao walked out of the carriage and stepped onto the platform, and found that the situation outside was a bit unusual. There were many soldiers with live ammunition on the platform. People who had entered the station but had not yet boarded the train gathered aside and asked them to wait quietly.

Zhang Jinbao saw a staff member wearing an iron-branded vest nearby, so he asked him: "Brother, what happened?"

The man turned around and saw Zhang Jinbao looking like a businessman, and raised his hand to signal him to return to the carriage: "It's already under martial law, don't you understand? A big shot wants to get on the carriage, so you have to wait for a while. Don't get off casually, lest you get arrested later.

The military master asked!"

Zhang Jinbao didn't want to cause trouble, so he had no choice but to return to the car. Fortunately, the temporary martial law did not last long. Not long after, he saw a group of people surrounding a richly dressed man on the platform. Judging from his clothes, it was obvious that he was not

Haihan people.

This group of people went straight to the rear of the train. Zhang Jinbao knew that the last carriage was usually a special box reserved for the rich and powerful. It seemed that this man was indeed no ordinary person. After this group of people got on the train, the platform

The people waiting on the bus were relieved of the ban and started to get on the bus one after another.

People who got on the train later answered Zhang Jinbao's question: "The young prince from Annan Kingdom just now, I heard that he came to Sanya specially to watch the competition. When he came to take the train, he must be going to Fort Victory to meet with the Executive Committee.

The adults met."

Zhang Jinbao suddenly understood. No wonder the man he saw from a distance looked familiar. The young prince of Annan, Zheng Zao, had always been a frequent visitor to Haihan. He visited Sanya much more frequently than Zhang Jinbao. In the past two years, Zheng Zao visited various restaurants in Danzhou.

In the academy, Zhang Jinbao had the honor to show his face in front of him, but he was just one of the dozens of escorts, and Zheng Zha might not be able to remember him.

The outside world calls Zheng Zha the little prince because his father Zheng Zha is the Qingdu king of Annan Kingdom. But Zheng Zha is also the nominal regent and the actual ruler, so although Zheng Zha is called the little prince

, but anyone who knows the situation in Annan Kingdom knows that this young prince is actually the crown prince of Annan Kingdom.

Maybe in a few years, Zheng Zha will tear off the last fig leaf and declare himself the throne, and then Zheng Zha will become the de facto heir to the throne.

It is precisely because of Zheng Zha's special status that Haihan has always given him extremely high treatment, and at the same time used various channels to continuously exert influence on him, so that this person who is likely to rule the Annan Kingdom in the next few decades can

The young prince has always maintained a political stance leaning towards Haihan.

In previous years, Zheng Zao would come to Sanya to watch events like the competition in person whenever he had time. However, this year, Haihan sent him a formal invitation a month in advance, so Zheng Zao would not miss it.

Although several big figures from the executive committee did not come to the port to greet him in person today, Zheng Zha didn't care about these red tapes. He didn't like a large group of people waiting for him at the port, and then doing some gimmicks like blowing gongs to clear the way for him to pass through the market.

At that time, he would rather go to Fort Victory early and discuss more important matters than reception work with the senior officials of the Executive Committee.

So after Zheng Zha got off the ship, he chose to take the train to Victory Fort, so that Haihan would not have to spend time sealing Victory Avenue. Although the railway still imposed martial law on Victory Port Station in advance to wait for his arrival, and

Let this train stop and wait for him after entering the station, but after all, it will be slightly faster than taking a carriage through the port area and Victory Avenue to Victory Fort.

Ordinary people generally don't complain much about this kind of special treatment. After all, he is the crown prince of a country. His visit to Sanya represents Annan State, and it is normal to give him the necessary respect.

However, Zhang Jinbao was thinking about another thing. Prince Annan made a special trip to Sanya to watch the martial arts competition. There may be many big shots coming to Sanya for this event in the near future. He happened to be one of the invited guests. If

If you seize the opportunity well, you may be able to meet many powerful people.

Although the industry that Zhang Jinbao operates is an academy, he is actually a businessman at heart. He basically runs the education industry with the idea of ​​​​business and trading. Getting to know powerful people will not only expand the influence of Qiongxi Academy, but also potentially make people more famous.

The academy gets more funds and other resources, so as long as there is an opportunity to interact with upper-level people, Zhang Jinbao will usually take the initiative to fight for it.

The train soon arrived at Fort Victory Station, and as VIPs, Zheng Zao and his party still enjoyed priority treatment. Only after he got off the train and left, other passengers on the same train were allowed to get off.

Zhang Jinbao and his party filed out of the station exit carrying large and small bags. Immediately, several people surrounded them and blocked their way.

"Are you guys staying at the hotel? My hotel is cheap and has rooms of various sizes. It's less than a mile away. You can come with me and have a look!"

"Boss, do you want to rent a car? We have horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws, and trucks here. We can also arrange shipping schedules to various places in Ming Dynasty. Boss, can you take a look?"

"Would you like to eat? My restaurant is right next to the station. It's clean and affordable. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. If it's not delicious, you won't have to pay for it!"

"Looking for people, finding jobs, buying houses and land, running errands, whatever the boss needs, I can do it for you, the price is negotiable!"

The group of people blocking the road were full of talk. They were all locals who saw them carrying a large amount of luggage and knew they were foreigners, so they came to solicit business.

This situation is actually similar in Danzhou. The difference is that in addition to these businesses, Danzhou Port is more of a publicity point for various academies. Especially in the enrollment season of late summer and early autumn every year,

Each academy will send elite soldiers to guard Danzhou Port. Once a passenger ship arrives at the port, they will rush forward to publicize it in order to attract students for their academy.

With Zhang Jinbao's status and his extremely limited connections in Sanya, it is of course impossible to arrange food, clothing, accommodation and transportation in advance. The reason why he chose to get off at Victory Fort Station is because it is close to the city and has more food and accommodation options.

.

However, although he had not reserved a place, Zhang Jinbao had been to Sanya several times before and was familiar with the places, so he ignored these people soliciting business. He only said that he had already booked a place to stay and squeezed out of the crowd with the students.

A few brokers refused to give up and followed up to persuade them for a while. When they saw that their group had entered Victory Square, they gave up angrily.

"Let me tell you, you have to be careful with these guys soliciting customers at the train station. Most of them make a living by picking up foreigners!" After leaving the train station for a while, Zhang Jinbao ignored these people.

Inform students about human reasons.

Some students responded: "I see, isn't that just like the people in Danzhou Port who are brokers?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "It's almost the same. If there is any difference, it is that Sanya is more prosperous and there are more scammers and tricks."

Another student asked: "Doesn't the government care about the capital?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "Of course we have to control it, but whether we can control it and whether we want to control it or not is another question."
