After celebrating the New Year at home, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Nie Zhenbang followed Nie Guowei onto the plane bound for Yuehai. Naturally, Nie Ziyu was also accompanying them. This semester, Nie Ziyu would be studying here in Yuehai.

The transportation in this era was not as developed as it would be in the future. At the moment, the South China Sea Special Zone and Yuehai Special Zone were just starting. The South Sea Huangtian Airport had not even been planned yet. It would not start the formal strict project until next year, with construction beginning at the start of the following year. As for Yuehai Airport, it would be even later. At this point, it was just the Baiyun Airport in Yuezhou City.

When the plane arrived in Yuezhou, it was already five in the afternoon. As soon as they stepped out of the airport exit, a few uniformed soldiers greeted them. They said to Nie Guowei, “Greetings, Chief.”

Nie Guowei immediately replied with a laugh, “Xiao Zhang, why are you so polite? Did your chief send you?”

The group rode in the off-road military vehicle of the Yuezhou Military Region and directly entered the courtyard of the Yuezhou Military Region. By the time they reached the General Building, Nie Guodong was already waiting at the entrance.

Old Nie had also called, discussing something that surprised Nie Guodong. From now on, the Nie family would fully support Nie Zhenbang’s business, without any reason. This forced Nie Guodong to adopt this posture.

Among the Nie family’s two brothers and two sisters, Nie Guowei was undoubtedly slightly less capable than the others. Although they were brothers, Nie Guodong naturally played a dominant role in their daily interactions. However, to his surprise, he had lost to the third generation.

Looking at Nie Zhenbang next to Nie Guowei, Nie Guodong’s face showed a somewhat unnatural smile, then said, “Guowei, you came so quickly. Didn’t you plan to accompany Old Nie in Jingcheng longer?”

Nie Guowei was rather oblivious to the underlying meaning. He laughed, “Old Nie has a lot of affairs to deal with. After spending one day at home, he went out. He said he was going to visit North Korea, and mother also went. There are many matters to attend to in Yuehai City. So, I came here.”

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang also brought Nie Ziyu forward: “Uncle, Happy

New Year. Zhenbang (and Ziyu) are here to wish you a good year.”

Nie Guodong laughed heartily, repeatedly saying, “Good, good. Come, this is the New Year’s money that your uncle has for you.” With that, he took out two red envelopes from his pocket and handed them over.

The group entered the living room. Nie Guodong, being the commander, naturally did not have to prepare the food. As the family sat on the sofa, Nie Guodong began, “Zhenbang, Old Nie is full of praise for you. This is good. In the future, the three of you brothers can work together, advancing in military, politics, and commerce. The future of the Nie family doesn’t seem worrisome.”

Nie Zhenbang smiled slightly. Nie Guodong’s words had a hidden message. Military, politics, commerce. The eldest, Nie Jialei, was in politics. It seemed certain that Nie Jiamin would enter the military sooner or later. So, he must be referring to himself regarding commerce. Nie Zhenbang didn’t argue, instead he laughed and said, “Uncle, you flatter me. It’s just an interest of mine. I came to Yuedong this time to survey the market for Wal-Mart’s layout. I heard that uncle has control over many military bases in the city, maybe you could consider transferring them over to me. In turn, you can construct new military bases in the suburbs. In this way, the confidentiality of the army would be much better than it is now.”

These words startled Nie Guodong. This young man was audacious to even think about the military bases. However, Nie Guodong had to admit, these bases were built a decade or several decades ago. With the continuous expansion of Yuezhou City, they were becoming somewhat unsuitable. If this problem could be solved in this way, it would indeed be a good solution.

“Zhenbang, if you’re interested in this, I can help you work on it. However, I can’t guarantee the success of it.” After saying this, Nie Guodong looked at Nie Guowei beside him and continued, “Guowei, this is the phone number of Li Jinbang, the commander in Yuehai City. Get in touch with him more when you get back.”

After staying with Nie Guodong for one night, Nie Guowei was picked up by people from Yuehai City the next day. Nie Zhenbang stayed behind by himself. This visit not only aimed to strengthen the communication and understanding with his family, but Nie Zhenbang also carried an important task.

For this reason, Nie Guodong had specially arranged an upper-level officer who was familiar with Yuedong to accompany him in his travels.

After a few days, the situation in Yuezhou opened Nie Zhenbang’s eyes. Electronics markets, clothing markets – this place, at the forefront of the Reform and Opening Up, was filled with enormous passion. Individual operators from around the country, carrying more or less cash, would take back bags of novel products. These people would later become the first group to become wealthy in the country.

At the same time, Nie Zhenbang also chose several suitable locations, the most important of which was near Jingcheng Road in Yuezhou. As a reborn individual, Nie Zhenbang knew well that Jingcheng Road would be transformed into a famous pedestrian street in Yuezhou after entering the next era.

Although that hasn’t happened yet, it was still a business center of Yuezhou. Establishing a Wal-Mart in this location would bring obvious benefits for the layout of the Wal-Mart in Yuedong Province.

“Mr. Nie. The chief called, saying that there’s some progress on the matter you discussed with him.”

The serviceman’s surname was Zhou, a local from Yuedong Province who could speak fluent Mandarin and Cantonese. He was the perfect companion for Nie Zhenbang.

Over the past few days, Nie Zhenbang encountered many Yuedong people who could not speak Mandarin. With Xiao Zhou’s help, things were much easier. To facilitate contact, Nie Guodong also specially provided Xiao Zhou with a pager. In this era, even in a big city like Yuezhou, pagers were few and far between.

“There’s progress?” Nie Zhenbang’s eyes lit up. At this time, there were many military businesses across the country, especially in different major military regions, which had considerable autonomy. As the second-in-command of the Yuezhou Military Region, the matters raised by Nie Guodong wouldn’t meet much resistance.

At the entrance of the Headquarters of the Yuezhou Military Region, Commander Huang, Nie Guodong, Chief of Staff Liu, and Minister Guan of the Logistics Department were all already waiting at the gate.

Upon getting off the car and seeing this arrangement, Nie Zhenbang immediately quickened his steps: “Uncle Huang, all other uncles. I feel flattered that you are all waiting here for me.”

Hearing Nie Zhenbang’s words, Commander Huang laughed and turned to Nie

Guodong: “Haha, Old Nie, your nephew surely knows how to speak.”

Then, Commander Huang turned to Nie Zhenbang and said, “Zhenbang, you are our god of wealth. We’ve long wanted to relocate our two plots in the city center, but we could not do so because neither the central government has allocated funds nor could Yuedong Province help. Now that you, a rich businessman, have come, we couldn’t have asked for more. It is only right.”

Perhaps out of the intention to test the waters, this time, the Yuezhou Military Region had put up only two small bases for sale. These two places had a common feature: they were once the supply warehouses of the Yuezhou Military Region. Moreover, they were not a very large area, the largest one only covering ten acres.

But for Nie Zhenbang, this was the most suitable. He immediately signed a transfer agreement with the Yuezhou Military Region at a price of three hundred thousand per acre. The total cost of the sixteen acres was only a little over four million, which was nothing for Wal-Mart. Five supermarkets and one department store could bring in millions of revenue for the company every day.

After signing the contract, Nie Zhenbang immediately called Yang Anbang, who also began to take action on his end, sending a preliminary preparation team.

At this moment, Nie Zhenbang was on his way to the South China Sea Special

Zone..
