Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 527 Transportation of food and weapons

With the addition of breadfruit and dried fish, even if an army of ten thousand people undergoes high-intensity training, the soldiers can sustain themselves for 1 months with 2 catty of corn, half a catty of bean cakes, half a catty of breadfruit and taels of dried fish every day.

If the training is reduced and the food supply is halved, it will be fine for three or four months.

However, Chu Qianqian saw that for the sake of the weapons and ammunition given to him twice, he naturally wouldn't care about this little food.

Looking at the warehouse again, unknowingly, wild wolves and foxes needed furs for their trolley bags, and Chu Qianqian had always used gathering skills to collect furs.

The remaining wolf meat and fox meat actually accumulated more than 800 wolves each.

There are more than 16 animals in total, and the weight alone is more than kilograms.

If you remove the bones, there would still be about half the meat and internal organs.

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and left 200 wild wolves and 200 fox meat. As for the bones and internal organs, except for the inedible internal organs, he also kept all of them.

Moreover, the internal organs and bones processed by the collection method are not only clean, but also have very little odor, and can be eaten as soon as they are boiled in a pot.

Bone soup is actually very nutritious. After a lot of training, drinking a large bowl of cabbage soup made with bones and a few steamed buns is a great supplement for people who lack nutrition.

And it’s also warm and tonic.

After doing this, Chu Xiangqian wanted to leave, but he remembered that Xue Jinglan had become his wife.

Xue Jianrong, who was stationed on Dongpingzhou Island not far away, was also his elder brother-in-law, so he had to give him some face no matter what.

Then I thought that my wife liked to drink coconut juice, so I simply left 1 coconut juice. In the future, I would take out the coconuts by myself in the capital, and the superiors would not care.

Finally, he took out 1 durians, which was Chu Xiangqian's bad taste.

There are 15 coconut trees on the island in the middle of the river. Each tree produces 10 coconut palms a day, a total of 150 coconut palms per day.

It has been 10 months since arriving on Hong Kong Island, and a total of 4.5 newbie villages have been produced.

After taking out 1 pieces, there were at least more in the warehouse.

Except for the first two months after arriving in Hong Kong, when I sold nearly 8 coconuts twice, but found the price cheap and the quantity sold small, which was troublesome, I have always saved the coconuts.

I planned to sell it all at once before the New Year at the end of the year.

But Chu Xiangqian really doesn't like it now, tens of thousands of coconuts sold for tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

There are actually quite a few of these in the South, especially in the Guangdong and Guangxi areas, and they are not considered very expensive fruits.

The mainland actually exports a lot to Hong Kong Island every year. It can be said that all food that can be produced in the mainland will basically be exported to Hong Kong Island.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make hundreds of millions or 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in foreign exchange from Hong Kong Island every year.

On the contrary, if it is shipped to the capital, it can be sold at twice the price.

But now it is not a few decades later, it is impossible for ordinary people to be willing to spend two or three yuan to eat a coconut.

In a planned economy, it would not be so expensive.

Coupled with the shortage of roads and transportation means, even in the 90s, many things in China could only be digested in the province.

As for durian, people who like it really like it.

If you don't like it, it makes you want to vomit when you smell it, but the nutritional value of this stuff among fruits is at least among the top three.

Although it is an exaggeration that one durian is equal to one old hen, it also shows that the protein and fat content are indeed high.

After placing the coconuts and durians, Chu Xiangqian thought silently that he had only sold Pablo 300 second-hand Garand rifles and 100 pistols.

With 2 M2 heavy machine guns, 10 Browning medium machine guns and 7 rounds of various types of ammunition, he earned a million dollars.

The secret channel told Qian Guotai that after the food had been placed on the island, the arms matter had to be mentioned again.

My requirements are not high, just old items such as Mo Ganxing and 98K that were sealed during World War II.

This thing is outdated garbage in the eyes of China, Magnesia, and polar bears, but in the eyes of Latin American and African forces, it is still a good thing.

Even if you can't sell it at a high price, exchanging it for diamonds, gems, gold, etc. and keeping it will preserve its value better than receiving money directly.

It’s also more profitable.

I went into the sea again and swam back to the yacht. When I entered the cabin, I found 10 coconuts and two durians in my hand.

He cut two coconuts with a knife and drank them all in several sips. Chu Qianqian couldn't help but smack his lips in comfort.

Then he cut two more coconuts, put them in a water bottle, and took them into the bedroom.

Seeing that his two daughters-in-law were still sleeping, Chu Qianqian smiled, poured a glass of coconut water, hugged Xue Jinglan and said in her ear, "Would you like some water?"

Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng, who had played a friendly match with Chu Xiangqian before, drank with their eyes closed and their mouths opened as expected.

And when the slightly sweet coconut entered their mouths, both of them had smiles on their faces. Then they opened their eyes slightly and saw Chu Qianqian reaching out to hug him and continue to sleep.

Chu looked forward at his watch, it was only 1am.

He simply lay down between the two of them and slept for two hours.

After three o'clock in the morning, I quietly got up and drove the yacht south.

By the time it gets light, the yacht has entered Victoria Bay.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the boat docked and returned to the yacht club. Chu Qianqian, who had made breakfast, knocked on the door and called his two daughters-in-law to get up.

He used the yacht club's phone number to call Qian Guotai and informed him in code that the food for the past two months had been shipped to the island.

And using the code words mentioned before, he mentioned that he needed more old World War II weapons and RPGs.

Qian Guotai just heard yesterday that more than 40 tons of grain were already stored on Hong Kong Island. In the evening, he heard that the first batch of grain had been shipped. He was not so enthusiastic about the grain on the small island.

But after hearing Chu Xiangqian say that he wanted more weapons, his first thought was, could this guy be helping some force to seize power?

Even a coup?

If Chu Xiangqian hadn't said that he wanted old weapons from World War II, Qian Guotai would have suspected that he was cultivating his own armed forces.

When the news reached the top, Xue Xueli remembered what Chu Xiangqian had said to him about provoking war and profiting from it.

He secretly thought that his grandson-in-law still didn't listen to the advice.

After thinking about it all night, I still didn't report the matter.

It seems that after Chu Xiangqian and Xue Jinglan got married, old man Xue inevitably had selfish motives.

But just because Old Man Xue didn't report, it doesn't mean the superiors couldn't guess.

It's just that people despise old World War II weapons even if they are used to support African brothers.

Anyway, it’s free support, so naturally I want whatever is good.

Whether you can get it or not is another matter.

But in terms of small arms, bolt-action rifles are really outdated.

Even semi-automatic rifles are actually reducing the amount of equipment now.

On the contrary, those warlords and local forces like these old weapons because they don't have much money.

In ten or twenty years, AK and RPG will become artifacts in Latin America and Africa because of their low cost.

However, the AK series firearms produced by Polar Bear or China are actually very high-quality, and genuine ones can sell for two to three hundred dollars on the black market. The price of two to three hundred US dollars in the 60s was actually very high.

It is produced in small workshops in Africa and can be bought for only a few dozen dollars.

The superiors asked Chu Xiangqian for more weapons and RPGs. After just a brief discussion, they planned to give Chu Xiangqian 3 Lao Maozi's Mosingan rifles and 10 bullets.

and 10 new and improved RPGs with 100 rounds of ammunition.

Let him try it out to see how effective the improved model is in actual combat.

These weapons pose no threat to China at all, but in the hands of Latin American forces, they can arm three regiments of troops.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not sell to Pablo, but planned to sell to his opponent.

A qualified arms dealer must learn to sell to both.

They even take the initiative to sell to third parties and fourth parties. Only when these people fight can they make more money.

Chu Xiangqian returned to the yacht. Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng had just arrived and washed up, and were waiting for him to come back for breakfast.

Hong Kong students are not averse to durian. Chu Xiangqian saw his little daughter-in-law eating steamed buns with green tofu, which is the smelly fermented bean curd, in the Qianmen courtyard.

What surprised Chu Xiangqian was that Xue Jinglan was not repelled by the taste of durian.

After smelling it, I even said it smelled very fragrant.

This situation is actually quite normal, because different people have different receptors in their noses, and their perceptions are also different.

Seeing this, Chu Qianqian smiled and joked, "If you like it, I'll have people transport more fruits back from Southeast Asia."

Chu Xiangqian's words were just to find a reasonable source for the fruits in Novice Village. Unexpectedly, Hong Kong students' eyes lit up.

Looking at Chu Qianqian, he said, "Senior brother, Ehime will be back in a few days. If you can get cheap fruits, why not open a fruit stall with Sister Lanlan and Ehime?

Earn some money every month as pocket money. "

Xue Jinglan's eyes lit up, even though her husband had created an account for her at Standard Chartered and gave her one million Hong Kong dollars every year.

Half of it is used as household expenses and the other half is used as pocket money.

But it would be better if you can make money yourself.

Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't care about this. It was a good thing that his two daughters-in-law and his own sister wanted to do something.

Moreover, I had just handed over the accounts of several companies that I had previously handed over to Ehime to Xiao Lan'er and Hong Kong Sheng. Even if Ehime wouldn't say anything, she would definitely be in a low mood.

Letting her partner with Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng to open a fruit shop can be regarded as comfort and compensation.

Call the Peak Villa and ask the three Zhaodi sisters to drive over to pick up Xue Jinglan and Gang Sheng to go back to their home in the Peak Villa.

Chu Xiangqian drove to Kwai Chung Pier again. There are 120 sika deer and 10 tigers put in the cold storage.

Then more than 3 coconuts and 3 durians were placed in warehouse No. 19.

First, he called Sanjiang Shui to transport sika deer and tigers to have a sense of strength. After returning to the mountaintop villa, he handed over the keys to the warehouse to Xue Jinglan and Gang Sheng.

I heard that 3 coconuts and 3 durians will be shipped from Southeast Asia tonight.

Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng couldn't help but get excited. They sat together and chatted about where they could rent a store to sell fruit.

Chu Xiangqian didn't interrupt, he just sat aside and listened with a smile.

It wasn't until the daughter-in-law was confirmed and she first looked for a store in Wan Chai that she said, "Okay, I'll have someone buy a bigger store directly for you and Ehime.

Avoid having to pay rent to others every year. "

A 10-square-meter store in a good location in Wan Chai costs only to Hong Kong dollars at this time, or Hong Kong dollars at most.

Chu Qianqian called Huang Weixin, and a lawyer from the law firm immediately went out to look for the store.

At around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Weixin called back and said that he had not found a suitable store in Wan Chai.

But on Xie Pei Road, Causeway Bay, on a street next to the branch of Youguchi Restaurant, there is a three-story tea restaurant covering an area of ​​70 square meters that is intended to be sold.

Chu Xiangqian asked the other party to come forward to negotiate the price without even thinking about it.

Then the three-story store directly wrote the names of Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng, but the two little girls didn't think much about it.

But to be honest, although Chu Xiangqian liked Feifei very much, he was still a little wary of Feifei, unlike Xue Jinglan and Hong Kong Sheng, who subconsciously felt that they were more worthy of his trust.

To put it bluntly, Xue Jinglan's birth in Hong Kong is the niece of her master and his wife, which is indeed better than Feifei's birth.

After dinner, Sanjiang Shui drove to the mountaintop villa carrying a box.

120 sika deer cost 48.6 Hong Kong dollars, and 10 tigers cost 40 Hong Kong dollars. The restaurant has to pay this amount after receiving the goods.

As for the half of the shares in the restaurant, the profit will be directly transferred to Chu Xiangqian's account at Standard Chartered every month.

Chu Xiangqian didn't check whether the money in the box was enough, he handed it to Xue Jinglan directly, and then took Sanjiang Shui to eat at home.

While eating, we couldn't help but talk about Yixiantian and their ranch in Los Angeles.

The more Sanjiangshui heard about it, the more he wanted to go to the ranch for a few days during his vacation.

Chu Xiangqian naturally had no objection, but he knew in his heart that as the end of the year approached, Sanjiangshui would definitely become busier.

In addition to the tasks of the police station, the end of the year is also the time to collect money.

Sanjiang Shui wants to go to Los Angeles for ten days and a half, which is basically impossible.

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, seeing that Sanjiang Shui had drank a lot, Chu Xiangqian called Luo Tuo and asked him to come and take San Jiangshui home.

By the way, I mentioned that my wife and sister opened a fruit shop in Causeway Bay.

Luo Tuo hurriedly patted his chest and said that after delivering the water from Sanjiang, he would go to the detectives who were sitting in the restaurant with Lian Sheng and the detectives from Causeway Bay to talk about it.

Chu Qianqian smiled and casually mentioned, asking him to prepare, prepare, the Diamond Mountain studio will be expanded soon.

At that time, this project will definitely be handed over to Ye Xiaoli's Mingda master, but minor projects such as earthwork will be left to him.

After hearing this, Camel was ecstatic. Even though the earthwork, sand and gravel work didn't seem like much profit, the net profit from this project was extremely high.

The sand dug out of the river can be resold at the construction site for a few percent or even double the profit.

After the construction of Universal Studios, the total project cost may be 10 to 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and Luotuo can earn hundreds of thousands at least.

And because the project was acquired by him, many of his subordinates would be able to have something to do for several years, which was definitely a good thing for him who had just taken the seat at East Star.

Then they talked about the taxi company.

When Chu Xiangqian heard that after two months of operation, he had lost 4 Hong Kong dollars, he felt relieved.

In fact, Hong Kong people are generally not wealthy these days. There are many people who worry about having enough to eat three meals a day. There are indeed not many people who can afford to work as a taxi.

Moreover, Luotuo is responsible for fewer wealthy people in Kowloon than in Hong Kong Island, so Chu Xiangqian was actually prepared to lose money in the first few years.

However, if it were on Hong Kong Island, there might not be a loss.
