Chapter 261: The Legend of Nanjiang

Nanhu Port, the country's number one land border crossing, is as busy as ever. Despite its inconspicuous appearance, it is the most important way to connect the port city with the mainland, and in the current international environment, it is also the most important window for domestic and international exchanges. Every day, countless businessmen, travellers and other people come and go through Nanhu Port.

It is precisely because Nanhu Port is so important that in order to ensure its smooth operation, there is not only a dedicated police station here with many police officers, but there are even armed police soldiers on guard. However, today, on the Nanjiang side of Nanhu Port, there is suddenly a control in place, which makes many people dumbfounded. Everyone gathered at the entrance of the border inspection station building and yelled at the armed police soldiers who stopped them.

'What's going on? Why is there a control? Could it be that some counterrevolutionary elements want to abscond abroad, or that some central leaders want to secretly visit a foreign country?'

Someone deliberately asked this question, which immediately caused a burst of laughter, because everyone understood that this was a joke. If there were really counterrevolutionary elements trying to abscond abroad, they would surely just sneak across the border, and would never dare to go through a border checkpoint so openly, waiting to be caught. As for the central leadership secretly visiting other countries, that's also not reliable. You have to know that the central leadership all have their own private jets. Wouldn't it be better to just go directly from the capital or a big international city like Binhai? Why would you go through a land border crossing to Hongcheng for a connecting flight? You don't need an airline for that.

Faced with such questions, these armed police soldiers didn't know how to answer, and could only stand there silently but firmly, letting the crowd push and shove each other.

'If I had to say, I'd say it must be because something inside has broken down. That's just how things are in China. They're of poor quality and short-lived, and they break down after just a little use and need fixing. It's not like things from abroad, which are the real good stuff. Look, when has there ever been any control from the port city?'

Someone else shouted out their guess, only this time, the truth quickly and fiercely slapped him in the face. As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately shouted next to him, 'Look, someone's crossing the border over there!'

Hearing this shout, everyone looked over to the bridge without exception, and sure enough, they saw someone crossing the bridge.

What was going on? If they were just dumbfounded by the news of the control earlier, then at the moment they were being controlled, they saw someone crossing the bridge, which should have made them so surprised that their jaws dropped.

Why couldn't they cross themselves, but let them cross first? Counterrevolutionaries couldn't be caught fast enough, and obviously there wouldn't be armed police controlling to cover their exit. But those crossing the border all looked young, almost all in their twenties. For people of that age, if one or two were to understand, but so many people leaving the country together was completely baffling.

At this time, someone suddenly shouted, 'I know that young man in front. He is the fourth one in front. He is Li Yang, the lobby manager of An Guo Securities Company. I have bought stocks from him and I have also had the honour of treating him to dinner, so I would not mistake him.'

'So it turns out that an important figure in the stock market is leaving the country. No wonder there is such a grand protection. These are all national treasures. I just didn't expect them to be so young. But then again, in an emerging industry like stocks, only these young people can play around, right?'

'But that's not right! You say Li Yang is so powerful, so who are the three people walking in front of him? I ask myself, I know the Nan Jiang stock market very well, apart from the elusive chairman of the Shenzhen Stock Exchange and Nan Development Bank chairman Cao Jianning, including stock market founder Luo Han and securities market construction leading group office deputy director Zhang Heng I know, but they are not it! Why are they qualified to walk in front of Li Yang?'

When everyone was wondering, a calm voice suddenly sounded: 'That might be a legend, a legend belonging to the Nan Jiang stock market.'

This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention: 'You may not have heard of it, but think about it: why did our Nanjiang stock market start from scratch? I admit that Luo Han is the pride of our Nanjiang, and it was he who founded the Nanjiang stock market. But he was ultimately just a bureaucrat. It was fine for him to do things step by step, but I'm afraid it would be a bit difficult for others. After all, the stock market is different from other projects, and it can't be smooth sailing.'

This remark reminded the others that they had all been in Nanjiang for more than a day or two. Everyone knew that there had been several major accidents in the Nanjiang stock market, all of which had been big ups and downs in the stock market, but in the end there seemed to have been no consequences. Just a while ago, it was heard that there were speculators from other places who had come to Nanjiang, originally intending to mess up the Nanjiang stock market. However, the result was that the stock market did fall, but they were also caught up in the stock market, which in turn rescued those ordinary shareholders.

If you say that Luo Han or someone in the Nanjiang municipal government did this, they would never believe it. First of all, the officials in the government have discipline and are not allowed to interfere with the economic market, let alone manipulate it. As for Luo Han, they don't believe he has the ability to do this.

Since the government would not do this and Luo Han does not have the ability, it seems that there can only be a mysterious figure who has been involved in the development of the Nanjiang stock market from beginning to end, and has helped the Nanjiang stock market solve all its problems. Could it be that person?

'He is the legend of the Nanjiang stock market!' said the calm voice. 'He has been protecting the Nanjiang stock market. Just a while ago, he invited Hong Kong businessmen to invest, which stopped the attacks of other speculators. He has also kept the money earned by ordinary shareholders. He is the one who has kept the stock market safe through any disaster. Even financial experts from Hong Kong and abroad have sung his praises, especially for his spirit!'

No one dared to contradict him, and everyone fell silent. But then, after a short while, someone suddenly said, 'My goodness, you're Yang from the stock exchange, the stock god who perfectly predicted the stock market movements and helped thousands of investors avoid this stock market crash!'

'Yes, that's right, I'm Yang,'

Lao Yang admitted without any hesitation, and when they heard who he was, the people around him looked at him with very surprised expressions. But Lao Yang didn't care about that. He just looked at the people passing by on Nanhu Bridge, especially the leader, Legend of the South River, and his eyes were full of admiration.

'In fact, I want to say that the reason I was able to help thousands of shareholders avoid the stock market crash this time was entirely because of this Legend of the South River. He was the one who told me to spread this news on the stock exchange. If it wasn't for him, I would never have known about any of this. You call me the God of Stocks, and I truly feel ashamed, because I simply don't deserve that title. Only he does!' Lao Yang said firmly.

Lao Yang's emotions infected the others, and they too looked at the Nanhu Bridge, watching the Legend cross it.

'You will always be a legend of Nanjiang, and we Nanjiang people will always remember you!'

Lao Yang suddenly shouted, and under his influence, the others also rushed up to the bridge and shouted the same thing, 'Legend of Nanjiang, we will always remember you!'

The legend of Nanjiang in Lao Yang's mouth is naturally Zhou Ming. This time, the Nanhu Port control is also to allow Zhou Ming and the others to go to Gangcheng more smoothly, and then transit through Gangcheng and go to the United States.

In fact, for Zhou Ming, he didn't want to cause any border control. If he could pass through the border in a low-key manner and transfer to Hong Kong City, that would be the best. However, Zhou Ming had to apply for a passport and visa if he wanted to leave Nanjiang, and Chen Yunfei, as the secretary of the Nanjiang Municipal Party Committee, would definitely know about it.

Chen Yunfei must feel very apologetic after relieving Zhou Ming of his position as Nanjiang Development Consultant. After all is said and done, Zhou Ming is taking the blame for the stock market's mistakes. After all, everyone knows that the stock market goes up and down. The stock market in Nanjiang has only gone up for two years, and this is partly because Nanjiang's development has indeed been rapid, and the benefits of several listed companies have been very good. But more of it is the result of the city government's connivance. Otherwise, a little regulation would have been enough.

Chen Yunfei did not regulate because he wanted to improve his own political achievements, but it was a disaster for Zhou Ming. Chen Yunfei just wanted to give Zhou Ming a special privilege before he left, so as to make himself feel at ease.

This behaviour could be said to be exercising privileges, but from another perspective, it was not unreasonable for Chen Yunfei to do so in Zhou Ming's position. After all, Zhou Ming was a super-rich man who had made trillions of dollars in Northern Russia. Coupled with the fact that he was in the finance class, he was the future financial hope of the country, so it was not too much to give them a back door.

It is precisely for these reasons that there is this scene today. When Peng Shengyou, the first secretary of the municipal party committee, personally escorted Zhou Ming to Nanhu Port, temporary control was immediately implemented here, prohibiting all traffic. The port would not reopen until an hour after Zhou Ming and the others had passed through to Gangcheng.

Zhou Ming is not a pretentious person. Since you, Secretary Chen Yunfei, want to use this privilege, just accept it yourself. It's not like it's a big loss of flesh, and with your large entourage, having a privilege to pass through the border alone will also ensure the safety of your classmates. After all, they have all interned at the stock exchange and An Guo Securities, and some of them know them.

Suddenly, Zhou Ming heard shouts from the border. He turned his head and saw a lot of people at the entrance of the border inspection station building shouting something towards this direction.

The Legend of Nan Jiang? Is that shouting for me?

Zhou Ming was a little surprised, but then the firmer stares of his classmates from the finance class around him told him without a doubt that the legend was talking about him!

Zhou Ming laughed, and he reached out and waved casually in that direction. There was an instant outburst of exclamations, and many people even jumped up in excitement, just like the fans of celebrities in later generations.

On the other side of the border checkpoint square, Su Han was moved to tears at the sight. Although she was unable to go abroad with Zhou Ming for some reason, she was sincerely happy for him. She muttered in the direction of Nanhu Bridge, 'Zhou Ming, did you see and hear that? This is your unparalleled charm. It is the things you do and the ideas you have that make people admire you!'

Su Han paused for a moment, looking at Zhou Ming's figure as he walked further and further away. She finally said, 'Zhou Ming, you will definitely make a name for yourself abroad. I will be waiting for you in Linyang, forever!'
