Farmers in the courtyard

Chapter 156 Chapter 157: Thunder Tiger
"There is no need for escort. Now I put it in a warehouse at a dock and can transport it at any time. When the first batch is shipped out, we will first consider HSBC Bank.

It’s also because I believe in your scale and credibility. "

Wang Zhendong smiled and seemed to inadvertently reveal important information in his words. Not only Zhao Qian's eyes lit up, but even Turner's expression was as expected.

Next, we briefly talked about the details.

Wang Zhendong has only one request, and that is that gold may need to be transported at any time instead of banknotes.

Of course, the premise is that the stored gold can be moved away only after the loan is repaid.

Turner has no objection to this, and this operation is normal.

Wang Zhendong refused Turner's lunch invitation and was driven away from HSBC Bank in a car arranged by Zhao Qian.

It was agreed that Wang Zhendong would bring the gold tomorrow morning.

Entering directly through the underground passage of HSBC Bank, this is also an opportunity for Wang Zhendong to take the opportunity to understand its underground structure.

Many banks around the world, especially their headquarters, use basement vaults to store banknotes and gold.

HSBC is responsible for printing money in Hong Kong, so it is conceivable that it must also have an underground vault.

Wang Zhendong knew that the underground vault of the Federal Reserve was tens of meters deep, and one door weighed [-] tons.

I just don’t know how deep and large the underground vault of HSBC is. The underground vault of the Federal Reserve is said to have more than 100 independent warehouses.

It is a very large underground building complex.

After getting in the car, the driver turned out to be Asan. Wang Zhendong deliberately asked what kind of car it was and how much it cost.

Ah San couldn't quite understand it, but he could get the general meaning.

The two people communicated like this and soon arrived at the dock.

Wang Zhendong also got out of the car and waved goodbye to Ah San. Ah San was very excited because it was rare for a distinguished guest to communicate with him.

Watching the Mercedes-Benz 170S turn around and leave, Wang Zhendong was also thinking about buying a car like this.

Although the current Mercedes-Benz car is not considered a luxury car, or the Mercedes-Benz brand is not what it was later, this car is indeed very comfortable.

It's just that the price is a bit expensive, costing HK$[-].

He knew that sports cars like the Mercedes-Benz 50SL in the 300s still had flying-wing doors, and the sales price during this period was only [-] marks.

Now one German mark is exchanged for 0.25 U.S. dollars, which only costs 7250 U.S. dollars, which is [-] Hong Kong dollars.

The price of the 170S car is at most [-] to [-] German marks, which is [-] Hong Kong dollars.

Even if you add agency fees and freight, you can’t sell it seven or eight times!

It’s too dark. If you have time, go directly to Europe and buy a few cars. Such cars will be antiques for future generations, and they are also valuable for collection.

Especially the 300SL, which was later auctioned for almost $200 million.

Wang Zhendong suddenly discovered that he could also collect as many cars as possible during this period, many of which would be out of print by then.

But at this time, it is not valuable, and it can be easily obtained for tens of thousands of yuan.

Of course, it is not valuable to him. For ordinary people, tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars are a lot of money.

The Emperor's boss, Mr. Yang, made his fortune with the 20 yuan his father helped him guarantee as a loan. It can be said that starting from the early 60s, Hong Kong was in hot water everywhere.

It was also a period when light industry and real estate took off, including clothing, textiles, electronics, electrical appliances, plastics, etc.

A period of transition from transshipment trade to labor-intensive light industry, industry and finance.

The population will also exceed 60 million in the early 300s, and there will be a lot of low-cost labor.

This is what Wang Zhendong has considered, and he will also make use of these human resources.

He does not know how to engage in the textile and clothing industries. He plans to engage in light industries such as electrical appliances and electronics.

John Bai was also used to establish a pharmaceutical research and development company and enter the field of medicine and medical devices.

He is even planning to start an engine research project, or an agricultural mechanization project.

It’s just that this aspect requires the collection of mature technologies in this area from all over the world.

Looking at the ships coming and going in Victoria Harbor, Wang Zhendong sighed in his heart. For the first time, he realized the importance of talents.

Where can he find these talents?

He himself is not a talented person, so he hopes that someone can help him.

All he can do is point out the direction of development, and if you ask him to operate it specifically, he will be very confused.

Without thinking any more, Wang Zhendong went to buy a ticket for the Star Ferry. A trip to the Star Ferry cost two cents, which was very cheap. He had a pile of Hong Kong dollars in change in his hand.I found two cents, bought a ticket, and got on the boat.

A bowl of wonton noodles costs thirty cents. He seemed to remember reading an article about the Star Ferry Company incident.

It was said that in [-] the Star Ferry Company increased its fare by five cents, or five cents, which aroused public outrage.

The construction of the Hung Hom Tunnel was even halted for a time.

This incident was called the Star Ferry fare increase incident.

Let’s go back to Tsim Sha Tsui first. We’ll stay at the Peninsula Hotel today. When we have money tomorrow, we’ll start looking for someone to buy a house.

Wang Zhendong thought of Mr. Huo. His Lixin Real Estate Company should check it out and buy a company office building from Mr. Huo.

As for whether it is a single-story building or a whole building, we will have to look at the house later.

When the two brothers Lou Chengdong and Lou Chengliang return from Southeast Asia, they can be allowed to open a trading company.

Anyway, you won’t lose money if you buy it during this period.

Then he looked for an office location in Kowloon, in the Yau Tsim Mong area, as the location of his secret company.

For all future operations, he can only hide in secret and cannot show his face. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to return home.

Even in the trading company owned by the Lou Chengdong brothers, he could not show up and could only hide in the dark.

But even if he is hiding in the dark, there is no point in him showing up.

Just find a few managers.

Once everything is done, all the people in the space can come out.

Especially Xu Zheng, this person is definitely a talent. As long as he gets used to it, he will definitely be able to thrive in Xiangjiang.

As soon as I returned to Tsim Sha Tsui, I took a rickshaw and visited Yau Tsim Mong and other areas.

We even went to Tsuen Wan to have a look. Some factories in the future will definitely be built in the New Territories of Tsuen Wan.

Places such as Tsuen Wan and the New Territories are also the areas with the highest concentration of shantytowns. Most people from the mainland are concentrated in these places.

At that time, let Xu Zheng come forward and buy some land. Buy as much as possible. The more, the better.

However, there must be resistance, both from the local wealthy families and the Hong Kong Governor's Office. Wang Zhendong believes that Xu Zheng has the ability to handle all this.

At most, you can promise him that he can marry a wife here.

If one is not enough, you can marry two. Anyway, Xiangjiang has not abolished the Qing law and allows concubines.

Mr. Huo seems to have married three wives.

This law is good, but it is a pity that it was abolished in [-].

You should take a concubine as early as possible!

It seems that he also needs to obtain a legal status in Xiangjiang, so that he can marry a few quietly.

The Star Ferry rode the wind and waves, and Wang Zhendong looked at the roaring sea water, and for a moment he was filled with pride.

What he didn't notice was that not far away, a man with a fleshy face looked at him casually.

There were several young men beside this man. Many passengers seemed to know the details of these men and tried to stay away from them.

Lei Luo looked at Wang Zhendong not because he knew him, but because he was curious about his clothes. There are not many such styles in Xiangjiang nowadays.

Even those who come from old Shanghai rarely have such styles, they are basically suits.

Such small open collar styles are rare.

It looks a bit like a suit, but also a bit like a Chinese tunic suit.

Real Hong Kong people, or people from the Guangdong area, either wear suits or cardigans. The buttons on the cardigans are all old-fashioned cloth buttons.

Lei Luo has seen such a person with a similar style, that is his uncle, Xin Ngong An's Qiang Qian.

Looking at this imposing young man, Lei Luo guessed that he might be someone from Wandao.

I also thought about chatting with him for a while and getting to know him.

Now he has just been transferred from Inspector Zonghua in the New Territories to Hong Kong Island to serve as Inspector Zonghua, but what he hopes more is to be transferred back to Kowloon.

This damn rotation system, these foreign devils are so naive, thinking that this rotation can eliminate corruption in the police station.

how can that be possible?
If you are used to collecting fees, who can expect to live on that salary?
