Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 337

Turner waved his hands indifferently, unless Chu Qianqian went crazy, there was no way he would take action against Margaret.

As long as he doesn't target Margaret, Turner, the old housekeeper, doesn't care whether Chu Qianqian has a team with good fighting ability.

In the eyes of a veteran like him who had experienced World War II and fought with tens of thousands of people at every turn, an armed team of more than a dozen people was not a threat at all.

Moreover, the nobles also have many private fighting teams serving the noble families.

The role of these armed teams is not to kill people, but to intimidate.

These people will only be dispatched when it comes to life and death.

Otherwise, if there is just some friction and then there is a big fight, other people will definitely think that this person is a madman and an unstable factor, and then continue to suppress the family's rights and wealth.

When there is no money or power, the team will naturally have to disband.

Even the team members themselves will leave because of lack of money.

As for loyalty, it requires wealth as a prerequisite.

Arthur looked at Turner and Mrs. Breen and didn't have much thought to ask again.

He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, "Based on the fuel in the fishing boat that Mr. Chu left yesterday, it is likely that he only operates within a hundred nautical miles around Xiangjiang.

Several agents and I believe that he has a small island at sea as a base. Do you want me to send someone to check it out? "

Before Turner could speak, Mrs. Breen frowned and asked, "Even if you find out, what's the point? You can't steal the antiques, oil paintings and other things he has hidden, right?"

Arthur was stunned, not expecting what Mrs. Breen would think, but Arthur himself also knew that he and several agents had actually thought about it.

Old Turner glanced at Mrs. Brin, and for a moment he couldn't figure out why Brin, who was disgusted with Chu Qianqian before, now turned towards Chu Qianqian?
Mrs. Breen's heart tightened, but she said, "Gentlemen, our purpose is not to have a fierce conflict with Chu, but to prevent the relationship between him and His Highness from being exposed to the eyes of the media and the public.

Once Chu's dozen men were on the island Arthur mentioned.If the two sides meet, a fierce conflict is likely to break out.

When the time comes, no matter whether there are casualties on the other side, not only will they not be able to explain to His Highness, but Chu will definitely not give up.

And don’t forget, not only does Lord Mountbatten hope to maintain friendly business relations with Chu, but His Majesty also hopes to buy the best stallions from Chu.

In other words, even if we fight Chu to pieces, he will still appear in London in the end.

Appearing at a cocktail party and talking about horse racing with the top nobles, and what kind of business they could cooperate with. "

Turner and Arthur fell silent after hearing this. If Brin's words came true, then because of the misjudgment of himself and others, the dead and injured people would be in vain.

There's no point in dying.

Turner didn't speak either, just looked at Arthur.

Arthur shrank his neck slightly, knowing that he was rash.

"If it's okay, should I go do my own thing?"

Seeing Arthur give in, Turner waved his hand to indicate that he could leave.

After Arthur left, the old man looked at Bryn, "Madam, has anything happened that I don't know about during my absence?"

Brin hesitated for a while before reluctantly telling the story about how someone from MI6 drugged Chu Qianqian, which eventually led to Margaret and Chu Qianqian rolling into the same bed.

After hearing this, Turner's face darkened, he stood up and cursed the MI6 people as trash.

They were then accused of overstepping their bounds by reaching out to matters that should have been the responsibility of the Royal Secret Service and Kingsman.

Seriously speaking, MI6 did cross the line this time.

The ace agents are the secret service that nobles are willing to trust. Even Turner would rather believe in MI5, which is only internal, than MI6, which is external.

Brin didn't dare to say now that he actually knew MI6's plan.

I could only watch as Turner called back to London and filed a complaint against MI6.

In the restaurant, Chu Xiangqian was eating lunch and listening to Norton. The family had already approved the one-for-three compensation that Chu Xiangqian said.

And if we hurry, 12 boxes of antiques will be flown over tomorrow.

Or just hand it over in London.

When Norton saw Chu nodding forward, he felt relieved, but at the same time, he felt a sense of regret and annoyance in his heart.

In order to maintain the relationship with Chu Xiangqian, a collaborator who could bring benefits, Mountbatten even opened his own secret room this time.

When talking to Norton on the phone, he even said that at least half of the antiques this time were high-quality products that he had never planned to trade before.

If the black tiger hadn't entered the London Zoo and been enthusiastically sought after by the public, Mountbatten would have wanted to compensate Chu Xiangqian with just money.
-
In the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian and Norton left the restaurant and saw Zhang Tianzhi sitting in the reception area of ​​the hotel lobby.

After telling Norton that I still have something to do, Chu Qianqian followed Zhang Tianzhi and left the hotel, crossed the sea in a car and went to the yacht dock on the other side of Causeway Bay.

I saw a 10.5-meter-long small fishing yacht.

Moreover, you can easily add a trawling equipment to this ship, but the price is a bit expensive.

Chu Qianqian thought about it and decided to buy it.

Then I sold another 5-meter-long small boat from the yacht club salesperson.

A 5-meter boat does not need to dock at the marina.

After Chu paid 9 Hong Kong dollars to Xiangqian, he bought the two boats.

Once again, I paid 2 Hong Kong dollars to become a member of the yacht club. In the next four years, my yacht can be docked at this pier at will.

Moreover, the yacht club will perform maintenance on the yacht every six months.The yacht will be cleaned once a week.

Chu Xiangqian just casually listened to several other membership benefits and lost interest.

If you want to get to know people through the yacht club, it's really better to accept them through people and just invite them to dinner directly.

As for business activities, they are basically useless for real ship owners. On the contrary, they are a shortcut for those who want to enter the upper class.

The interface said that he knew there were fish schools in that place. Chu Xiangqian urged sales and led people to transport 4 fishing rods and two trawl nets from the fishing gear shop of the yacht club.

After paying, he sent away the sales that made a profit today and had a generous commission.
Chu Xiangqian said to Zhang Tianzhi, "Brother Zhi, at 5pm you go and wait for me outside the Deep Water Bay Marina in the Southern District of Hong Kong Island."

Zhang Tian didn't ask any questions, nodded and helped Chu Qianqian hang the boat behind the yacht, and watched Chu Qianqian drive the yacht out of the port.

An hour later, the boat was far away from the coastline.

Chu Xiangqian looked at the coast with his own eyes. It was true that even with his own eyesight, he could not clearly see the vehicles on the shore. Then he untied the rope and drove the yacht to the small boat that was slowly stopping.

With the 10-meter length of the yacht, it completely blocked the view of the shore. I ordered the tit to wander around a few times to make sure there was no problem, and then put the boat into the sea of ​​Xinshou Village.

Then he entered the inner cabin of the yacht and then entered the novice village.

A lot of wooden piles and planks were collected from the woods to the north of the village, and wooden docks were built artificially on the seaside.

Fortunately, the sea in the game is calm. As long as the boat is tied up, there is no need to worry about the boat being hit by wind and waves and colliding with the dock.

Then he put the two sets of fishing nets into the Novice Village warehouse.

Then I drove the yacht to the Deep Water Bay Pier in the Southern District.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xiangqian arrived at the pier early.

After the boat was stable, I took out my membership card and someone immediately checked in and asked if he wanted to send someone to drive the boat back to the pier in Causeway Bay.Chu Qianqian was naturally eager for this. He gave a tip and walked out of the pier, and saw that Zhang Tianzhi had already driven his car over.

After getting on the bus, Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Go to Lock Road, Causeway Bay."

Zhang Tianzhi didn't ask Chu Xiangqian why he drove the boat from Causeway Bay Pier here, and drove away.

At around 5 p.m., the car arrived at the former jewelry store, now a drug store.

When Chu Xiangjin walked in, he saw that Qian Guotai was really still here, staring at the decoration.

The decoration workers naturally didn't ask too much. In their opinion, it was normal for the boss to check the decoration progress.

Chu Xiangqian listened to Qian Guotai's report on the progress of the renovation over the past few days. When he was almost finished, he whispered, "Uncle Qian, are you sure the boss has asked you to help me?"

Qian Guotai smiled and nodded, "Go forward, I will rely on you for food from now on."

Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "Don't worry, I will give you a monthly salary of 300, and there will be a bonus of at least 3 months' salary at the end of the year.

If the profit of the drug store is good, the bonus may become half a year, or even 12 months. "

For an ordinary office worker, three times the salary is between 100 and 120 a month, and these days, it can already be regarded as a golden salary.

But no matter how high the bonus is, in the end you are still a wage earner.

Moreover, these days, there is very little mention of stock rewards for management talents, let alone options and direct reward shares, and very little salary increases.

Otherwise, Wuxianhuai would not quit his job as deputy general manager and run out to start a business.

Qian Guotai is naturally very satisfied with this salary. He can save at least 200 yuan every month and wait for the first half of the year to find an opportunity to send it back to the capital to his family.

Let alone one or two thousand to support a family, even 10 more people will be fine.

Of course, Qian Guotai will most likely not send all the money to his family.

After chatting, Chu Xiangqian whispered, "I have a connection and can get hematite with 70% iron content from overseas. Ask the boss if you want it, and then help me ask the international iron ore company. price.

To avoid being fooled by ghost guys. "

If he was fooled by the ghost guy, it would naturally be Chu Xiangqian's excuse.

However, Chu Qianqian, who was still thinking about whether the iron ore was not cheap, would sell it to the mainland at half price.

Qian Guotai's face tightened after hearing this. The things were naturally good, but now he was more worried about Chu Xiangqian's safety.

He hurriedly asked, "Are you sure there will be no mistakes when it's shipped?"

"Don't worry," Chu Xiangqian said in a very sure tone, "The road is absolutely safe and the confidentiality is extremely high.

Now I'm worried about whether there will be problems on our side.

Also, I don’t care how we transport the 9 tons per month.You can find a way to transport it from the wharf on the Xiangjiang side. "

Qian Guotai felt a little more relieved.

I also vaguely felt in my heart that Chu Xiangqian was definitely not as gentle with outsiders as he was now.

Maybe he had already killed all the foreigners he felt were a threat.

Otherwise, how could we say with such certainty that safety is 100% guaranteed?

Only dead people would not threaten him.

Qian Guotai thought for a while and said, "It's okay to report to the superior, but it will definitely take a few days for a reply.

But regarding the price of iron ore, I do know someone who definitely knows what the international price of iron ore is. "

After saying that, Qian Guotai went out and found a public phone booth to make a call.

Not long after, Chu Xiangqian learned that iron ore with an iron content of about 5% cost only 7 US dollars for one thousand tons. The best quality iron ore, that is, with an iron content of 7%, only cost 11 US dollars.

He started cursing immediately.

But think about it carefully, the Mercedes-Benz car I bought only cost more than 4 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 1 US dollars.

And even a low-end car costs less than five or six hundred dollars.

It is conceivable that the value of steel is really not that expensive.

Qian Guotai thought that Chu Xiangqian was really deceived about the price.

Just as he was about to give some advice, Chu Qianqian said depressedly, "Forget it, all the 9 tons of iron ore every month will be given to the superiors.

From now on, those with special numbers will keep an eye on that bastard, determined to get all the mining areas in his hands. "

The first half of the sentence is just that Chu Xiangqian feels that 990 US dollars is meaningless to him.

The last half of the sentence was naturally nonsense, deliberately told to Qian Guotai and his superiors.

Qian Guotai originally wanted to persuade Chu Xiangqian that there was actually no shortage of iron ore in the country, and the cost of shipping by sea might be several times higher than the value of the iron ore.

It's really not worth the candle.

But think about what Chu Xiangqian said, that the iron content is 7%.

I immediately felt that if there were 9 tons every month, it would be 108 million tons a year.

After refining, there are 6 to 70 tons of iron.

"Go ahead, are you really sure you'll lose money by sending so much iron ore to your superiors?"

Chu Qianqian, who was feeling unhappy, said angrily, "Anyway, these are all the extra income they and I use to offset the payment for goods. If not, I would lose more.

However, I have to send a telegram to the ghost guy later, and he will have to pay for the freight. "

Qian Guotai felt relieved now. Thinking about it, even if the total cost of iron ore and freight costs two to three thousand US dollars a month, it is only about [-] Hong Kong dollars.

This amount of money is not even one-twentieth or one-fortieth of the value of the grain that Chu Xiangqian sends to the mainland every month.

It really didn't affect him.

"I'll report this to my superiors first. I'll tell you whether it's necessary and how to transport it back. When you come back from London, there should be a result."

Chu nodded forward, but the two of them didn't realize how important the iron ore with 7% iron content was.

This means lower energy consumption and higher quality.

When Qian Guotai reported the matter to the senior leader, the senior leader stood up abruptly after reading it.

He hurriedly asked his secretary to check the information, and soon learned that China's steel production last year was less than 1400 million tons.

If Chu Xiangqian really transports the 108 million tons of iron ore back and refines it into 70 tons of steel, it will be equivalent to giving away 5% of the steel production to the mainland.

After reporting to the superiors, it took only a few days to decide that the iron ore would be refined in Nanguang.

As for how to transport it away, Chu Xiangqian didn't ask after returning from London.

If you really want to know, all you have to do is let the tits stare at the ore.
