Volume 3 The Storm in the East China Sea Chapter 1 Departure

The light in the room is dim, and the sound of the air conditioner hanging on the machine blows out a burst of t+

A young man in a T-shirt and shorts put a few sets of neatly folded clothes into a travel backpack, picked up the cigarette butt on the ashtray and took a few sips, and turned around to watch the LCD TV hanging on the wall.

"This station has received the latest news. Mr. Ye Yongji, Chairman of the Ye Hong Group, just announced that the group has signed an agreement with relevant departments of the Republic to develop Dexing Hydropower Station. The Dexing Hydropower Development Project located at the southern end of the Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon will be divided into three phases, with a total construction period of 18 years, including five years for the first phase, seven years for the second phase, and six years for the third phase, with a total investment of 1,450; after completion, the total installed capacity will reach 21 million kilowatt-hours, and the annual power generation capacity will be c kilowatt-hours, becoming the world's largest hydropower project. With the completion of the main road of the State Grid that runs across the east and west, the Dexing Hydropower Project will effectively alleviate the power shortage in the southwest, northwest, north China and Jiangnan region of my country."

The young man smiled slightly and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray

His name is Ye Zhisheng. When he was 27 years old this year, Ye Zhisheng graduated from Tsinghua University and received a full scholarship from Yale University in the United States. Three years later, he entered the world's largest hydropower equipment production, water conservancy engineering construction, and ecological energy development company. "Ye Hong Group" half a year ago, Ye Zhisheng gave up his job with a salary of one million US dollars last year, left his girlfriend who had been in love for four years, and returned to the Republic alone

Come back just for a dream

"... Our reporter just interviewed Mr. Ye Yongji, and now I will leave the time to the reporters in front..."

Ye Zhisheng stuffed several packs of scattered cigarettes into his travel backpack and put the lighter in his arms.

By seniority, Ye Yongji is Ye Zhisheng's distant uncle more than a hundred years ago. Ye Yongji's great-grandfather Ye Hong left his hometown and traveled across the ocean to the United States. Ye Zhisheng's great-grandfather, Ye Hong's younger brother Ye Xin, stayed to take care of his ancestral property for more than a hundred years, and the two families had no contact. If it weren't for more than twenty years ago, Ye Yongji's father went home to visit relatives and met his cousin who was over 60 years old, Ye Zhisheng's grandfather. If the Ye family's genealogy was not well preserved and recorded the time when Ye Hong left his hometown, I'm afraid the Ye family in China would never know that they had a distant relative who had a branch and a scattered family in the United States and grew stronger in the year. Ye Zhisheng's grandfather looked like. He had long forgotten what he had looked like when the scene was spectacular. Every household in Ye Family Town was decorated with lights and decorations, and welcomed relatives who returned to their hometown. It was more lively than the New Year.

"...Thank you Mr. Ye for accepting our interview." The TV screen changed, and the reporter from the front appeared on the screen. "According to Mr. Ye Yongji, in the next five to ten years, the 'Ye Hong Group' will strive to expand the domestic market and plan to establish an international R&D center and a global development center in Chengdu. So far, the total investment scale of 'Ye Hong Group' in China has exceeded US$120. With the launch of Dexing Hydropower Project, the investment scale of 'Ye Hong Group' in China will continue to increase. We will pay close attention to the relevant situation. I am a reporter from the News Channel, Xiaoshuang, host."

"Okay, thank you Xiaoshuang for bringing us the front report" screen switched, and returned to the studio, "Today's domestic consultation ends here. After one minute of advertising, it will be international information. Please continue to pay attention to the program of the news channel."

"...Is this tooth white enough...I'm brushing it out"

Hearing this disgusting advertising slogan Ye Zhisheng knew it was an advertisement for cleaning company. He flipped through the bed for a while and finally found the bracelet made of red cotton thread.

With a sigh, Ye Zhisheng put the bracelet in his pocket

It was when he was 24 years old when his ex-girlfriend knitted a mascot for him by himself. Although the bracelet itself has no value, Ye Zhisheng has always kept it with him.

Ye Zhisheng has always felt sorry for his ex-girlfriend after returning to China for half a year

At that time, the two were preparing to get married, and even booked a wedding dress and the plane ticket to the United States for the wedding. Ye Zhisheng suddenly decided to return to China. His girlfriend was working in Goldman Sachs Group, but she refused to return to China. The night before, the two had a big fight. Her girlfriend ran away from home. Ye Zhisheng left a letter of apology and all his savings in the United States for several years. Last month, Ye Zhisheng received a letter from the United States and a remittance slip. His ex-girlfriend left him with more than 400,000 US dollars and sent him a marriage photo.

At that time, Ye Zhisheng tore the photo to pieces, so he didn't remember what the man looked like in the photo. Anyway, he was a Westerner with yellow hair and green eyes.

After looking around the room and confirming that nothing had been forgotten, Ye Zhisheng took up his backpack

"Hello everyone, welcome to watch international news

This station has received the latest news that US President Roddick officially signed an order to send an aircraft carrier battle group led by the "Truman" to the Arabian Sea..."

Ye Zhisheng just found the remote control board of the TV. When he heard this news, he did not turn off the TV immediately.

"...At this point, the United States has deployed three aircraft carrier battle groups in the Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf. In addition, the "Calvinson" and "Stannis" aircraft carrier battle groups have also left Norfolk and Bremoton, and are expected to be deployed in the Red Sea within 20 days.

The US military in China has recently sent three infantry divisions and 200 aircraft to the Gulf region. 12 b-2 bombers also entered Digo Garcia last month. It is widely speculated that the US military is preparing to launch a military strike against Iran. This station specially invites experts in international situations and military defense experts to discuss related issues..."

Ye Zhisheng turned off the TV. He felt that the so-called "experts" could not express any high opinions.

Putting on your backpack and holding your wallet, Ye Zhisheng left the bedroom

"Zhisheng, it's almost dinner, where are you going?" A middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen with two dishes of vegetables.

"Mom, I want to catch a plane." Ye Zhisheng took out a stack of banknotes from his wallet, "I want to meet a big customer and I have to go out for several days. I will give you my household expenses next month first. If the money is not enough, I will be stuck in the drawer and you can get it yourself."

"Be careful on the road, call your home if you have anything to do"

"I understand, I will call you." After saying that, Ye Zhisheng went out.

"This kid, he has no air conditioning turned off. He is almost thirty years old and he is still careless."

Hearing his mother's nagging, Ye Zhisheng sighed secretly

What he couldn't bear most was his mother who had worked hard all his life. Before he went to junior high school, his father passed away. The burden of the family was all on his mother. In order to support his son's schooling, his mother worked as a cleaner, set up street stalls, and sold snacks. She had done almost everything for more than ten years. Her mother has become much older and much more fragile.

After going downstairs, Ye Zhisheng lit a cigarette and stopped a taxi

He prepared hundreds of thousands of dollars in his card. Even if he had something, he didn't have to worry about his mother being cold and hungry.

“Where to go?”

"Dongmen Wholesale Market"

The taxi driver didn't ask any more questions, stepped on the accelerator and looked like he was rushing to hand over the shift, and then went home to have dinner with his wife and children.

When he arrived at the Dongmen Wholesale Market, Ye Zhisheng took out a hundred-dollar bill, "Waiting for me here, I'll be back soon."

"Hey, man, hurry up"

"Wait for me for ten minutes and I will give you double the bus money"

The taxi driver hesitated for a moment and made a hundred yuan by running this route without pulling the meter. It would be fine to go home for dinner later.

More than ten minutes later, Ye Zhisheng rushed back with a few porters who were resistant to the goods.

"Put the things in the car," Ye Zhisheng said, taking out a hundred-dollar bill and handing it to the porter in the lead, "No need to make change, you guys will divide it yourself, I don't have change."

Of course the porters are willing, which makes them double their wages

After loading the goods, Ye Zhisheng sat in the passenger seat

“Where are you going now?”

"Fishing Port" Ye Zhisheng handed over a banknote to the driver, "I'll get there within fifteen minutes, I'll give you another hundred yuan."

"No problem, you're ready to sit!"

The taxi ran out like a wild horse, and it made money equivalent to the usual day's money after one trip. Of course, the driver was happy to drive faster

Arriving at the fishing port, Ye Zhisheng asked the driver to park the taxi next to several young people.

"Xiao Ye, you're late"

"There are so many troubles at home, there is no way." Ye Zhisheng gave the driver the third hundred-dollar bill before getting off the car

Several young men quickly unloaded the goods from the car and the driver noticed that the "big guy" bought all instant noodles, canned food, mineral water, and several Chinese cigarettes.

When the taxi was driving away, Ye Zhisheng and several young men carried the goods onto a fishing boat.

"Xiao Ye, you are here"

"Here, I've bought everything." Ye Zhisheng threw a cigarette to the middle-aged man who came to say hello, "and your favorite cigarettes."

"It's not bad, it's still China." The middle-aged man smiled and distributed the cigarettes to the young people next to him.

“When will you set out?”

"It's almost gone, I'll set off when it's dark." The middle-aged man sat down on the railing, "How about it, are you feeling a little excited?"

Ye Zhisheng nodded with a smile and took the cigarette handed by the young man next to him.

"Everyone is the same." The middle-aged man patted Ye Zhisheng on the shoulder, "It's much better to go to the sea, are you seasick?"

"Seasick? Of course not, I often take boats in the United States



"That's good if you're seasick, go find Lao Li, he has seasick medicine."

Ye Zhisheng nodded with a smile and he was riding in the United States on an inland ferry. Now he is taking a fishing boat with a displacement of less than 200, and he also has to go to the sea with high winds and waves.

"Everyone comes to see, the banner is ready!"

The young people on the boat were suddenly excited and rushed towards the stern of the boat.

Soon, a red banner with eight words appeared outside the boat platform and more than a dozen young people shouted. Ye Zhisheng was also excited and cheered with everyone.

The sun gradually sets on the top of the mountain to the west, and night is approaching
