Chapter 2248
Although Zhang Jinbao can be regarded as a local celebrity in Danzhou, the number of times he comes to Sanya is actually not too many. On average, he only comes to Sanya once every two years, and he usually comes to Sanya for official business, and there are basically not many people here. There is an opportunity to stay here for a long time, so I am actually not very familiar with the social conditions here.But in front of the students of his own academy, of course, he still had to show a lot of style.

"Let me tell you, every time you come to this place in the capital, you will find many new changes. The urban area is getting bigger and bigger, the houses are getting more and more, and the market is getting more and more prosperous. Why is this happening? That's because there are people all over the country Rich people and talented people are trying to get together here! If you want to be a master in the future, you have to take this place as your goal!"

Zhang Jinbao walked slowly with his hands behind his back, behind him were students carrying large and small bags.It's not too far from the Sanya port wharf to the nearby train station. In order to save money, Zhang Jinbao didn't hire laborers to carry the luggage of his group, and handed it over to the students directly.

The saved expenses can just take the students to take the train for a certain distance to the urban area on the side of Victory Port, so that they can also take this opportunity to open their eyes and see what the legendary train looks like.

This railway runs through the entire urban area, from Sanya Port to the inland Tiandu Industrial Zone. It connects almost all important areas in Sanya and realizes efficient transportation of freight and passengers. It is one of the most important infrastructure facilities in Sanya.Of course, for non-locals, this railway is simply an engineering marvel that makes them jaw-dropping.

No one can maintain complete calm when seeing trains and railways for the first time, and Zhang Jinbao is no exception. When he came to Sanya for the first time and saw this big guy speeding on the railway tracks, his jaw almost dropped.However, after taking the train once, Zhang Jinbao quickly realized the great role of this iron guy in improving the efficiency of transportation.Although he still hasn't fully understood how the train works to this day, this does not prevent him from becoming a fan of this emerging mode of transportation.

Zhang Jinbao even discussed with Danzhou Mayor Zhang Xin more than once about building a similar railway locally. However, due to various objective reasons, for a long time, Danzhou only had some small steam stations for transshipment in the port area. The locomotive, its travel and carrying capacity cannot be compared with the trunk line in Sanya, let alone the freight railway from Changhua to Shilu.

Fortunately, Changhua, which is also on the west coast, has risen rapidly in recent years, and the demand for cargo handling has increased greatly. However, due to the limited local natural conditions, it is difficult to build a large port.Taking into account the future development needs, the executive committee planned a train line between Danzhou and Changhua.

However, the total length of this line is more than double that of the existing railways in Sanya and Changhua combined. This is a national-level major project for Haihan Country, and the construction period alone will take several years , it is still very early to be completed and opened to traffic.This time when he came to Sanya for business, Zhang Jinbao was able to let the accompanying students 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 handed them out to the students: "One ticket per person, take all of them. Tickets must be checked when entering and exiting the station!"

The train ticket is made of high-quality thick kraft paper with the logo of Haihan Railway printed on it.Ordinary individual passengers can only take the section between the three stations of Sanya Port, Shengli Port, and Shengli Fort, and the stations that go deep inland must be reached by personnel working in Tiandu.And those people hold monthly tickets that are collectively handled by the work unit, which cannot be bought at the train station.

As for those who need to go to Tiandu occasionally for business, they need to buy special business tickets at the train station with their own identity certificates.

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

Although such means may not achieve a 100% confidentiality effect, it does effectively reduce the possibility of leakage of technical secrets.The advanced industrial technology beyond the times is one of the important capitals for Haihan's rapid rise.

But for Zhang Jinbao and his students, there is no need to know so many secrets about this railway.They only need to take the time to enjoy the scenery along the way after the train starts and experience the convenient travel brought by this advanced technology.

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 pointing and talking about the novelties around them.However, the locals have long been accustomed to the reactions of this kind of foreign visitors. At most, they will look elsewhere if they look at them twice.

"Look at the right side. The place with scaffolding by the sea is the Shengli Port Shipyard. Several seniors who graduated from the academy a few years ago have entered this place to work. Most of the warships of our navy are here. Construction and launch... The executive committee has a vivid metaphor for this place, calling it the cradle of our navy."

During the train journey, Zhang Jinbao did not forget to explain to the students the places worthy of attention along the way, and remind them at the same time. They will also have the opportunity to come here to work and live in the future.

In addition to the shipyard in the distance, it can also be observed from the train that on the official road parallel to the railway, the speed of the carriage is obviously slower. This intuitive contrast effect highlights the advantage of the railway in terms of timeliness in transportation.

The distance between Sanya Port Station and Shengli Port Station is only six or seven miles. The train arrived at Shengli Port Station very quickly, but it did not stop for a short time before starting to go to the next station like normal operation.

Seeing that the locals in the same carriage were also muttering about this matter, Zhang Jinbao told 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, when Zhang Jinbao got out of the carriage and stepped onto the platform, he found that the situation outside was a bit unusual. There were many soldiers with live ammunition on the platform, and gathered the people who had already entered the station but hadn't boarded the train to one side and asked them to wait quietly.

Zhang Jinbao saw a staff member in iron-marked vest nearby, so he asked him, "Brother, what happened?"

The man turned around and saw Zhang Jinbao in a businessman's outfit, and raised his hand to signal him to return to the carriage: "Don't you understand that martial law is here? There are important people getting on the train, so you have to wait for a while. Don't get out of the train casually, lest you be caught later." The military master intervenes!"

Zhang Jinbao didn't want to cause trouble, so he had to go back to the car.Fortunately, the temporary martial law didn't last long. Not long after, a group of people surrounded a luxuriously dressed man on the platform. Judging by his attire, he was obviously not from Haihan.

This group of people went straight to the end of the train. Zhang Jinbao knew that the last carriage was usually a special box reserved for powerful people. It seemed that this man was indeed not an ordinary person.After this group of people boarded the train, the people waiting on the platform were lifted from the prohibition to board the train one after another.

The people who got on the train later answered Zhang Jinbao's question: "The little prince from Annan Kingdom just now, I heard that he came to Sanya specially to watch the martial arts competition. He must go to Victory Fort to meet the Executive Committee when he comes to take the train. The grown-ups met."

Zhang Jinbao was stunned, no wonder the man he saw looked familiar from a distance just now, Zheng Zuo, the young prince of Annan, has always been a frequent visitor of Haihan, and the frequency of visiting Sanya is much higher than that of Zhang Jinbao.Two years ago Zheng Zuo visited various academies in Danzhou, and Zhang Jinbao had the honor to show his face in front of him, but he was only one of dozens of accompanying people, and Zheng Zuo might not remember him.

The outside world called Zheng Zuo the little prince because his father, Zheng Bing, was the Qing capital king of Annan Kingdom.But Zheng Bing is also the nominal regent and the actual ruler, so although Zheng Zuo is called the little prince, anyone who knows the situation of An Nanguo knows that this little prince is actually the prince of An Nanguo.

Maybe in a few years, Zheng Yu will tear off the last layer of fig leaf and announce his ascension to the throne, then Zheng Zuo will become the de facto heir to the throne.

It is precisely because of Zheng Zuo's special status that Haihan has always treated him very highly, and at the same time used various channels to continuously exert influence on him, so that this man who is likely to rule Annan in the next few decades The little prince has always maintained a political stance that favors Haihan.

In previous years, as long as Zheng Zuo had time, he would come to Sanya to watch events like the martial arts competition. This year, Haihan sent him a formal invitation letter a month earlier, and Zheng Zuo naturally would not miss it.

Today, although several important figures from the Executive Committee did not come to Hong Kong to welcome them in person, Zheng Zuo didn't care about these red tapes. He didn't like a large group of people waiting for him at the port, and then made some gimmicks such as ringing gongs to clear the way. He would rather go to Fort Victory earlier to discuss matters more important than the reception work with the senior officials of the executive committee.

So after Zheng Zuo disembarked, he chose to take the train to Fort Victory, so that Haihan would not have to spend time closing the road to Victory Avenue.Although the railway has 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, it is still a little longer than taking a horse-drawn carriage through the port area and Victory Avenue to Victory Fort. be quick.

Ordinary people generally would not complain too much about this kind of special treatment. After all, he is the crown prince of a country. Visiting Sanya represents An Nanguo, and it is normal to give the necessary respect.

However, Zhang Jinbao was thinking about another matter. The little Prince Annan came to Sanya to watch the martial arts competition, so there might be many big figures coming to Sanya for this event in the near future.It happened that I was also one of the invited guests. If I could seize the opportunity well, I might be able to get to know many powerful people through this.

Although the industry that Zhang Jinbao runs is an academy, he is actually a businessman at heart, and he basically manages the education industry with the idea of ​​business.Getting acquainted with powerful people can not only expand the influence of Jonesy Academy, but also allow the academy to obtain more funds and other resources, so whenever there is an opportunity to deal with high-level figures, Zhang Jinbao will usually take the initiative to fight for it.

The train soon arrived at Victory Fort Station, and as VIPs, Zheng Zuo and his party still enjoyed priority treatment, and other passengers on the same train were not allowed to get off until he got off the train and left.

Zhang Jinbao and his party carried large and small bags and filed out from the exit. Immediately, several people surrounded them, blocking their way.

"How many people are staying at the hotel? My hotel is cheap and has large and small rooms. It is less than a mile away from here. You can follow me to have a look!"

"Does the boss rent a car? My brother has horse-drawn carriages, rickshaws, and trucks. You can also arrange sailing schedules to various places in Daming. Boss, take a look?"

"Do you guys have dinner? My restaurant is right next to the station. It's clean and affordable. You're guaranteed to be satisfied. If it's not good, you don't need money!"

"Looking for people to find a job, buying a house and buying land, running errands, whatever the boss needs, my younger brother can do it for you, and the price is negotiable!"

The group of people who blocked the way were talking all over the place, all of them were locals who saw them carrying a lot of luggage and knew they were foreigners, so they came up to solicit business.

Such a situation, in fact, has a similar situation 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 in late summer and early autumn every year, each academies will send elite soldiers to guard Danzhou Port. Once a passenger ship arrives, they will rush forward to promote it in order to win students for their academies.

With Zhang Jinbao's status and his extremely limited contacts in Sanya, it is of course impossible to arrange food, clothing, accommodation and transportation in advance. The reason why I chose to get off at Shenglibao Station is because it is close to the city, and there are more choices of food and accommodation. .

But even though he didn't book a place, Zhang Jinbao had been to Sanya several times before, and he was familiar with places, so he ignored these business solicitors at the moment, only said that he had already booked a place, and led the students out of the crowd.A few brokers refused to give up at this point, and followed up to persuade them for a while. Seeing that their group had already entered Victory Square, they gave up resentfully.

"Let me tell you, these guys who solicit customers at the train station have to be careful. Most of them make a living by picking up foreigners!" After leaving the train station for a while, Zhang Jinbao ignored these things. Inform students of human reasons.

Some students responded: "So that's the case. Isn't that just like brokering with those people in Danzhou Port?"

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: "Don't the government care about the land of the capital?"

Zhang Jinbao said: "Of course it is necessary to control, but whether you can control it, whether you want to control it or not, that's another matter."
