Village chief's office.
Chen Jianan put down the phone.
"Jian'an, what happened?"
Xu Mei looked anxious.
“This is not an easy matter.”
Chen Jianan seemed to be thinking about something.
Zheng Zehua is now in Liaobin Port.
According to him, the reason why customs seized the equipment was that it did not have a trade license.
This license can only be obtained after application by large state-owned enterprises and approval by the Ministry of Commerce.
Zheng Zehua took great pains to purchase and ship the equipment.
I didn't expect to be stumped by a piece of license.
Now the cargo ship is floating on the sea, and it costs a lot of money every day.
Besides, this is an Italian merchant ship. We can't just let them wait here forever, right?
"Can't we ask Governor Yu to give us a heads up on this matter?"
After listening to this, Xu Mei felt a little confused.
Liaoning Province and Heilongjiang Province have always been friendly with the governor. Could it be that they would not give face?
"That's what's strange about this."
"Governor Yu's secretary called and was politely rejected by the customs."
"And it's what the above meant."
Chen Jianan stroked the new stubble on his chin.
"A customs department of the lower level actually doesn't give Governor Yu face?"
"That's strange indeed."
"We are not transporting any contraband..."
"And the customs said the superior meant it. Which superior was it?"
Xu Mei muttered to herself as she thought.
"Don't think about it. I'll go there tomorrow. This matter needs to be resolved as soon as possible."
Chen Jianan said in a deep voice.
He had a feeling that an invisible hand was trying to grab his throat.
It has to be crushed.
…
Liaoning Province, Bincheng.
Liaobin Port.
"Mr. Zheng, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not that hard, it's just that things are a little difficult..."
Zheng Zehua smiled bitterly.
The two shook hands and then walked and talked over the proposal.
The sea breeze blows, bringing with it a fresh taste.
Listening to the rolling waves, Chen Jianan looked around and saw the sea and sky merging into one in the distance, which was a spectacular sight.
“This scene reminds me of a song.”
"Um, what song?"
Zheng Zehua was stunned. It was already such a late hour, and Chen Jianan still wanted to sing?
"The name of the song is Naval Port Night."
"Navy Night in the Port... I don't think I've heard of it."
Zheng Zehua shook his head.
Chen Jianan then remembered that this song should not have been released yet.
Fortunately, Mr. Zheng is from Hong Kong Island and doesn’t know much about the mainland music scene.
"Such a wonderful port should not be an obstacle to our progress."
"Our journey is to the sea of stars."
Looking at the vast ocean, Chen Jianan's heart was also excited.
"Village Chief Chen, it seems you are not worried at all?"
Zheng Zehua looked at Chen Jianan with some surprise.
He had a calm expression, a twinkle in his eyes, and exuded a strong sense of confidence.
As if he was the master of this world.
He has been active in the business circles of Hong Kong and Taiwan for many years and has met countless bigwigs from both sides of the business world.
But it is rare to find someone like Chen Jianan who is extremely confident even in adversity.
I didn't expect that a young man under 20 years old would have such a magnanimous demeanor.
This calmed Zheng Zehua's anxious mood.
"Village Chief Chen, this batch of equipment is relatively cheap."
"But only relative to new equipment."
"Excuse me, this is still a huge sum of money for your village."
"If the delay is too long, the loss will be unbearable for us."
Zheng Zehua was in a gloomy mood.
He also took a big risk in this business.
Using the family's reputation as a guarantee will facilitate the process.
Once he fails, his family will suffer, and his personal status in the family will also be affected.
"Mr. Zheng, don't worry."
"Can you contact the captain?"
Chen Jianan stood still, then suddenly turned his head and asked.
"able."
Zheng Zehua nodded.
"Tell him to keep the boat in the harbor channel."
"What?"
…
Liaobin Port Customs Office Building.
Office of the Commissioner.
"Commissioner Qi, that Hong Kong Islander is here again."
The secretary came in to report.
Qi Hongwei frowned and put down the teacup.
"Didn't I tell him to wait for news? Why is he here?"
Qi Hongwei didn't take him seriously at all and said impatiently.
"Director Qi, this time he is not alone, he brought someone with him."
"It is said that the original owner of the equipment was the one who purchased it."
The secretary quickly explained.
"oh?"
Qi Hongwei was a little surprised to hear that the original owner of the equipment had arrived.
"Let them in."
Qi Hongwei thought about it and decided that since the person had arrived, he would definitely not give up without seeing him in person.
Just to make things clear.
Soon, Zheng Zehua and Chen Jianan walked in.
"Mr. Zheng, didn't you say that the original owner of the equipment has arrived? Where is he?"
Director Qi asked doubtfully.
"Director Qi, this village chief Chen Jianan is the one who purchased the equipment."
Zheng Zehua took a step sideways, highlighting Chen Jianan.
"What?"
Qi Hongwei was stunned.
Judging from Chen Jianan's age, he thought he was Zheng Zehua's secretary.
"Mr. Zheng, are you kidding me? Can he afford all those equipment on the ship?"
Qi Hongwei looked at it carefully.
The young man in front of me looks less than 20 years old, how is that possible?
"Captain Qi, you don't know something."
"Although Village Chief Chen is young, he has already made some achievements. Even Governor Yu praised him."
Zheng Zehua saw Qi Hongwei's contempt and immediately endorsed Chen Jianan.
Qi Hongwei looked at Zheng Zehua and Zheng Ting and it didn't seem like they were joking.
He looked at Chen Jianan carefully again.
He was wearing a Zhongshan suit, had a young and handsome face, and a circle of new stubble on his chin.
He suddenly laughed.
"I thought I was some powerful person..."
Qi Hongwei shook his head with a disdainful tone.
"Director Qi..."
Seeing that he looked down on Chen Jianan, Zheng Zehua was about to say something, but Chen Jianan stopped him with his hand.
"Director Qi, let's talk about the equipment issue."
Chen Jianan spoke calmly.
"Didn't I already tell him clearly?"
“You are not allowed to enter the port without a trade license.”
Qi Hongwei put his elbows on the table and spoke seriously.
Zheng Zehua frowned. Qi Hongwei had always used the same rhetoric. No matter what he said, it didn't work. He just wouldn't budge.
"Whose rule is this?"
"Liao Province, or Liaobin?"
Chen Jianan suddenly asked.
"This is a matter of customs. What does it have to do with the provincial government?"
Qi Hongwei said unhappily.
"Don't waste your breath on me."
"Or go to the Ministry of Commerce of the National Government to apply for a license."
"Or, just let the ship sail."
"There's no way I'll let you go."
Qi Hongwei lay back in the chair and spoke leisurely.
"So, the interception of the ship was an act of your own accord?"
Chen Jianan narrowed his eyes and grasped the message in his words.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
"What do you mean our customs department is acting on its own? This has always been the rule!"
Qi Hongwei sat up straight suddenly and frowned.
“Rules are not laws.”
"Our procedures for importing equipment are completely legal. You have no reason to stop us from entering the port."
Chen Jianan argued with reason, looking straight into the other party's eyes.
"What the hell is the law?"
"I said you are not allowed in, so you are not allowed in!"
Qi Hongwei waved his hand impatiently.
"So, there's no point in talking?"
Chen Jianan raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, there's no room for discussion!"
"I don't care whether your equipment is legal or not, but you can't unload it from my Liaobin Port."
Qi Hongwei slammed the table.
At this time, the secretary hurried in.
"Report to Director Qi, a ship has blocked the port passage!"
The secretary looked anxious.
Liaobin Port is the most important port in Liaoning Province and even in the three northeastern provinces, with a huge throughput.
The passage was blocked, sparking protests.
"What!"
"Whose ship is this? Why is it so bold?"
Qi Hongwei stood up suddenly.
"It's my boat."
At this time, Chen Jianan's voice came faintly.
