It was somewhat awkward for the two parties to meet under such circumstances. The Su family and his son could not pretend not to see them, so they could only greet the Portuguese angrily.

Thomas gloated: "I didn't expect you and the executive committee officials to live and eat together for several days, but you are still so close to each other. They didn't even take you with them when they went to the reception banquet."

As an envoy, Su Keyi was not someone who would suffer from words. Dangjie counterattacked: "That's better than chasing someone all the way from Sanya and not even having a chance to meet."

Both parties are aware of the significance of the Executive Committee's northern tour, so they will try their best to follow them. But judging from the current reaction of the Executive Committee, it is obvious that they do not intend to spend energy to deal with them.

However, their depression was not over yet. When they left the port and arrived at a nearby town, they found that all the places that could accommodate guests were full, and there was no room for them to spend the night.

And their status as envoys is not easy to use in this place - they all spend money to stay in hotels, why should they give up their rooms to foreign barbarians like you?

Even the Han identity of the Su family and his son could not gain any benefits. The room was gone as soon as it was gone. Even if they were willing to pay a high price, no one was willing to give them a room - they came to Hong Kong specially these days to get this.

You lively people, who is so short of rent money?

In the end, they had to give up their plan of taking a hot bath and sleeping peacefully, dragging their exhausted bodies back to the port and pitching a tent on the dock for one night.

Although the conditions are a little rough, it is still much better than hanging around on the boat.

At the same time, in Li Yuan, just a few miles away from Causeway Bay, Malik and Li Nai were hosting a banquet to entertain the executive committee members who had come from afar.

Li Nai has known the executive committee members for almost thirty years. In recent years, he has visited Sanya many more times than Malik, so no one would regard him as an outsider.

The only person who is not too familiar with Li Nai is probably Qiao Zhiya, who has just joined the executive committee. He stays in Changhua all year round, while Li Nai usually stays in Sanya when he comes to Hainan Island, so he rarely has the opportunity to meet Qiao Zhiya.

However, the industries under the name of Furifeng are spread all over Haihan, and Changhua is no exception. There is no need to worry about finding a common topic. Not only is the freight terminal invested and built by Furifeng in the local area, but also the transportation between Changhua and Heitu Port.

Some of the coal ships belong to the shipping companies under Fulifeng.

After three drinks, the topic naturally turned to the new executive committee’s overseas visit.

Maliko said: "You are in a hurry to go to Hangzhou, so I won't keep you here for a few more days, but when you come back from Hangzhou, you must stay in Guangzhou for a few days and let me make a good living."

Tao Donglai smiled and said: "Lao Ma, you invited us to Guangzhou, it's not just for fun, right? Tell me, what's the purpose?"

When Malico saw this, he stopped talking in circles and said calmly: "I heard that almost all the big projects in Hangzhou have successfully passed the approval of the executive committee. People are required to give people and money is given to money. In fact, here in Guangzhou

There are also many good projects that need the support of the executive committee, so I would like to invite you to go and see them on the spot."

After Maliko said this, he immediately began to count the projects on hand without waiting for Tao Dong to reply.

The first is the steel smelting plant project in Foshan. This is also an industrial project that has been planned for many years by the two regions. The report has been submitted several times, but due to various reasons, it has never been approved by the Executive Committee.

Although there are no iron ores in Foshan, it is surrounded by iron ore areas such as Luoding, Dong'an, Nanxiong, Shaozhou, Lianzhou, Huaiji, and Yangjiang, and Foshan is located in the hinterland of the Pearl River system. These iron ore areas can

Through developed inland river shipping, iron ore is transported to Foshan for processing. Therefore, Foshan has been the smelting center of Guangdong and Guangxi for a long time.

However, Foshan's smelting industry is mostly based on traditional workshop-style operations. Not to mention backward technology, it is difficult to maintain stable output and quality, and the cost cannot be compared with Changhua, which has achieved primary industrialization. As a result, many craftsmen want to rely on this skill to

To make a living, he immigrated from Foshan and settled in Changhua.

Malico is naturally unwilling to let the few industrial prototype industries in the area to fend for themselves, not to mention the tens of thousands of people in Foshan who work in this industry. If the local smelting industry continues to decline, these people will also lose their jobs.

It will bring considerable hidden dangers to society.

For time-travelers like Maliko, the solution is actually very clear, that is, industrial upgrading.

If the advanced smelting technology and equipment mastered by Haihan can be introduced into Foshan, those backward traditional smelting workshops can be closed, suspended, merged, and converted into production, and local smelters and blacksmiths can be fully utilized, then a small Changhua can be replicated locally.

Iron ore, craftsmen, and top-down industrial chains are all readily available locally. Now, in order to promote the conditions required for industrial upgrading, Malik proposed three points: first, capital, second, technology, and third, equipment.

"The two major regions can solve the required funding issues by themselves. If this project can be put into practice, many local people will be willing to spend money to participate, including of course Li Nai's family."

When Li Nai heard Malik talking about himself, he quickly squeezed out a smile and expressed his support for Malik.

Li Nai was indeed aware of Foshan's smelting industrialization, and the Li family was indeed interested in investing. However, the matter had been delayed for too long, and progress had been slow. The Li family had actually acquiesced that the project had been shelved.

However, the Li family's investment in the early planning stage was not large, and the losses were still within an acceptable range. The Li family has actually invested a lot in projects like this over the years, and the overall profit and loss are small, so the situation is not bad.

If Malik can convince the executive committee to restart this project that has been on and off for several years, then Li Nai would be happy to see it happen. The key to the problem is how much support the executive committee is willing to give.

"Advanced smelting technology and production equipment are what Foshan lacks. If the Ministry of Industry does not provide relevant conditions and relies entirely on local evolution and upgrading, it may take one or two hundred years to reach Changhua's current industrial level.

"

"Everything is ready, all we need is Dongfeng. Now as long as the executive committee is willing to provide support, we will only need two or three years to build another steel base in Foshan."

Maliko's mouth went dry as he spoke, and he finally stopped to drink water. Tao Donglai took this opportunity to take over the conversation and asked Qiao Zhiya: "You should have understood the plan Lao Ma mentioned, right?"

Qiao Zhiya nodded and replied: "Regarding this project, the two major districts have submitted several plans in the past few years, and Lao Bai and I have read them."

Tao Donglai asked: "Then what's the problem?"

Qiao Zhiya hesitated for a moment before giving an explanation: "We believe that the production capacity after industrial upgrading is still far from the expected level, and the return on investment in this project is not ideal."

Tao Donglai asked: "If calculated on a proportional basis, how much of Changhua's production capacity can be achieved?"
