Ceylon.

Gem City.

In the temporary press conference hall.

Dis and Qingye Group President Liu Zhifan held hands. The reporters and photographers around them immediately took photos of the two with their cameras.

Soon the two signed the contract.

This collaboration is very surprising.

The main content of the cooperation is: Qingye Group will sell 2 million tons of rice to Ceylon at a low price every year. The price is that Ceylon will sell three ports and their operating rights to Qingye Group, and develop 30 square kilometers of land near the ports. rights, the contract period is 99 years.

The three ports are Galle Port in the south, Trincomalee Port in the east, and Sille Port in the north.

In order to ensure the food supply of Qingye Group, the three ports operated by Qingye Group only need to pay an annual usage fee of 3 million gold yuan, and all other taxes are exempted.

The reporters present, or the heads of major foreign companies, and consuls from various countries all thought that Dis was crazy.

But he is not crazy, it is the best choice at the moment.

at the same time.

In the chaotic Port of Colombo, security has finally returned to normal these days.

The former Old Beigang District, after being renovated, finally welcomed its first batch of "guests". Four container and grain transport ships slowly docked at the port's berths.

As for Nangang District, this is the Colombo Port Management Company controlled by the investment company.

At this time, the company's manager Huang Zhenguo was standing in an office on the upper floor of the office building. He looked at the situation in Beigang.

"Qingye Group? Aren't they afraid of losing everything?"

Deputy manager Ye Xiaofei on the side shrugged: "If we can get the long-term operating rights of three ports and the surrounding land, then it will be okay."

Huang Zhenguo took off his work clothes and put on a set of casual clothes: "Let's take a few people to see the city of Colombo."

A group of people drove a heavy bulletproof off-road vehicle and appeared in the Colombo city in a low-key manner.

After a while, they saw a large number of residents queuing up.

Park your car under the shade of a tree on the roadside not far away.

Huang Zhenguo and Ye Xiaofei looked at the residents lining up outside the car window. At the end of the crowd was a Qingye supermarket that had been open for more than half a year this year.

However, at this time, Qingye Supermarket had merged with more than 20 surrounding stores, opened up these stores, and transformed them into temporary sales counters.

A dozen gas trucks were parked nearby, and hundreds of hired workers were busy moving supplies from the trucks' containers.

"Go down and take a look!" Huang Zhenguo suggested.

"Do you want to wait a moment?" Ye Xiaofei was a little worried.

But Huang Zhenguo shook his head and pointed to several corners of the street: "Did you see them? They are all armed security personnel."

Ye Xiaofei observed it and found that there were indeed many security guards standing guard in groups. These security guards occupied key points on the street. He even found that his SUV was being stared at by several people.

Opening the car door, the two of them approached a store with no glass windows. There were more than a dozen large refrigerators inside. They heard the sound of engines coming from the back of the store. It was obvious that Qingye Supermarket used its own temporary generator for power supply.

Inside the refrigerator are frozen chicken breasts, chicken wings, chicken legs, pork, etc.

Just seeing the price on the label, Ye Xiaofei frowned and whispered: "Only gold dollars? Are they not worried about trouble from Ceylon? And do the people of Ceylon have gold dollars?"

Huang Zhenguo pointed a few hundred meters away: "Maybe the answer is over there!"

Ye Xiaofei turned his head.

Aoba Bank?

The two walked over and came to the gate of Aoba Bank. It said that it accepted gold and silver in exchange for gold dollars, and also provided mortgage loans and asset acquisition services.

No gold dollars?

That’s it.

As soon as Qingye Group entered Colombo, it quickly started recruiting, and successively opened supermarkets, banks, restaurants, property, gas, electricity, water, ports, warehousing, logistics, hospitals, pharmacies, taxis, construction companies, etc.

Colombo, with a population of just over 600,000, was suddenly sucked out of tens of thousands of laborers.

As the food and various materials and equipment mobilized by the Qingye Group from Hongsawady arrived at various ports in Ceylon, the people who were noisy before suddenly became quiet.

The sky is big and the earth is big, dry rice is the biggest.

With tens of thousands of employees and their families, Qingye Group instantly became a force occupying nearly half of the population in Colombo. This was simply terrifying.

Anyone who dares to touch Qingye Group's properties in Colombo now will be beaten by local residents in minutes.

Huang Zhenguo and Ye Xiaofei went to a local restaurant where they often eat.

The restaurant owner saw the two of them and greeted them with a smile: "Hello! Huang, Ye, do you want to eat? I finally bought mutton and onions today."

Following his usual habit, Huang Zhenguo ordered a few dishes and found a table to sit down at. Through the glass window, he could see that there were many more trucks and vans on the street.

It's just that something is wrong, because a large number of trucks and vans are vehicles bearing the Aoba Motors logo.

After the restaurant owner gave instructions to the chef, he came over with several bottles of Qingye Coke: "This is the only Coke we have now, do you mind?"

"It doesn't matter." Huang Zhenguo smiled and shook his head.

Ye Xiaofei asked in a low voice: "Singer, you should buy your ingredients from Qingye Supermarket, right?"

"Well, there is no other way. This is the only supermarket that has cheap ingredients now, although I need proof of identity." Singer spread his hands helplessly.

"Where did you get the gold yuan?" Ye Xiaofei asked half-jokingly.

Hearing this, Singer had a wry smile on his face: "I took my wife's gold jewelry and went to that bank to mortgage it for 80,000 gold dollars."

"How is the business now?" After Huang Zhenguo finished speaking, he took another look at the restaurant's occupancy and found that it was less than one-third of the previous number.

Singer looked depressed: "It's very bad. Many people now have no money and can only rely on relief meals, let alone come to the restaurant."

"At least you have something to eat." Huang Zhenguo took a sip of Coke.

"I hope the economy will recover as soon as possible!" Singer looked expectantly at the streets with people coming and going outside.

But Huang Zhenguo secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Apparently local people like Singer did not realize the seriousness of the matter and the cruelty of the Qingye Group.

You know, Hongsawady has been completely swallowed up by the three major groups. It is difficult for small private companies to survive on the territory of giant companies.

This is just like under the towering trees in a tropical rain forest, it is difficult for other plants to find living space.

After having a meal.

Huang Zhenguo and his party wandered around the streets of Colombo again. Although the previous bankruptcy had a great negative impact on the people of Ceylon, with the comprehensive intervention of Qingye Group, they managed to return to normal.

Both of them were worried along the way.

After returning to the port management company's office building.

Standing in front of the window, Huang Zhenguo took a sip of cold water:

"Huh... scary, this Qingye Group is too scary."

"It's really scary. If there are no restrictions, then this kind of giant company will quickly devour all the industries in a region. And once the other party succeeds, it will be very difficult to drive away the giant company in the future." Ye Xiaofei also looked very solemn.

As Ye Xiaofei said, the reason why giant companies are giant companies is because of their huge scale and interlocking industrial chains.

When employees of giant companies account for the vast majority of the local population, restricting or divesting giant companies is tantamount to disembowelling oneself.

"The business of Colombo Port is worrying!" Huang Zhenguo's words were full of sadness and worry.

After seeing the terror of the Qingye Group, he did not think that the investment company could easily gain a foothold in the Colombo Port, and would inevitably be targeted by the other party in the future.
