Chapter 65 Gaining a confidant
Xian Yaowen's visit to the Student Affairs Office was very dull. There was neither enthusiasm nor indifference. It was just a formulaic process. The Student Affairs Office promised to convey the information to the students, and that was it.

Students are not enthusiastic. Xian Yaowen predicts that the current population of Hong Kong exceeds two million, but there is only one university. According to Zhou Xiaoniu, there are less than 40 fresh graduates of the University of Hong Kong this year, which is almost one of people. This is The true pride of heaven will be sought after wherever they go, and they don't have to worry about employment at all.

Compared with the positions offered by the Hong Kong government's administrative director and political affairs director, as well as other large foreign companies, the fledgling China Garments has no attraction for these talented people.

Xian Yaowen had a headache. On the way home, he once again lamented the difficulty of starting a business, but he was not discouraged. This difficulty was nothing to him, it was just a matter of spending more effort.

When he got home, he went to Shiduo Store to get a newspaper. Sister-in-law Dong who was looking at the store didn't tell him any gossip. She walked into the corridor quietly. There was no sign of a fight on the third floor. Look at the Chu family couple. The situation is not as exaggerated as Wang Xiamin said.

Ai Zaidi, when he was busy, he was not in the mood to care about Su Lizhen. Even if he had the chance and the only chance to win her over today, he would sit back and watch the opportunity slip away.

He has always had three correct views. Between money and women, he would choose career without hesitation.

When he returned to the house, Wang Xiamin, who was practicing the piano, did not talk to him about the Chu family. He was happy to be in peace.

After spending the night safely, we arrived at Fuzhan Tea House in a hurry the next day.

It is said to be a tea house, but in fact it only has a small shop floor, and the kitchen occupies more than two-thirds, and the remaining space can barely fit two small tables.

As the host of the treat, Hong Yingdong did not say hello early in the morning to reserve a seat. Eight o'clock was the time when there were many guests, so it was impossible to get a seat. The two of them could only squat on the curb, holding Pu'er full of tea foam in their hands. , the cages and dishes are placed directly on the ground.

The local atmosphere of Dizhen Tea House was vividly absorbed by the two of them.

Hong Yingdong held a barbecued pork bun in his mouth and pointed at the long line of coolies walking towards the dock. "The group in front is from Fu Yixing, and the two groups behind are from Dong Fuhe. The dock has been busy recently, unloading goods." The work couldn't be done, and the two societies were at peace with each other, and there had been no fighting for a long time."

"The two societies don't have other livelihoods?"

"There are gambling stalls, flower stalls, cigarette stalls, and horse stables, but the main business is still on the dock, unloading and bargeing."

"Is bargeing the kind of business your family is doing?" Xian Yaowen asked.

"It's not the same." Hong Yingdong shook his head slightly, and then pointed to the depths of the sea in the direction of the pier, "At least 60% to 70% of the ships parked outside the pier are not planning to declare customs. When it gets dark, the barges will go to the ships to unload the goods. Liang, and then went around the port to deliver the goods to other small terminals to the cargo owners.

There is a lot of money involved in sending smuggled goods around the port. According to the negotiated rules, the freight is paid monthly, and the shipper also has to pay a fee. Large and heavy goods have a fee of 1,000, and small, light goods have a fee of 1,000. They are from Thailand. For every thousand bags of fragrant rice given away, one bag will be left. "

"Are the people following the boat coolies or thugs?"

"Both are available, but the taps are for thugs, and the coolies' wages are calculated separately."

Xian Yaowen put the tea bowl on the ground and raised his eyes to look at the sea, "According to you, the oil and water around Hong Kong must be given to the society?"

"You can go around it yourself, but you'll run into a lot of trouble."

"The club is looking for trouble?"

"Customs and police officers will also cause trouble."

"Understood." Xian Yaowen nodded, pointing to the small electric boat parked at the corner of the pier, "Those 'wow-wow-wow's' parked there waiting to attract customers?"

A swoosh is an electric boat powered by an engine. It gets its name because it makes a "squeak" sound when the engine is running and the propeller hits the water.

Hua La Hua La was once the main maritime transportation across Victoria Harbor between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It was also known as electric boat ride or water taxi. As Yau Ma Tei Ferry and Star Ferry successively obtained the ferry franchise, the Hua Hua La service changed to However, since the service hours of the two ferry companies do not include late night, citizens still have to take the Hua Hua La La if they want to cross the sea late at night. "Those are not the ones that send passengers off. We call them 'Yi Pi Zai', also known as 'Piu Zai'. They are specially used to deliver small and valuable goods around the harbor."

"Oh." Xian Yaowen said thoughtfully: "The speed of the electric boat is too slow. There are already fast speedboats abroad. We can get a few boats back, and we can escape with our lives when encountering the Big Sky in the future."

"How fast?"

Xian Yaowen shook his head, "I'm not sure. I probably have a chance to outperform the machine gun."

"Can't hold a few people?"

"Ah."

"Big Sky Er doesn't follow morals or rules. He will rob anyone's ship without fail. If he dares to resist, he will wash the cargo ship with blood and leave no one alive. The same goes for daring to escape. The speedboat cannot hold everyone and the cargo, and it is of little use. .”

"Brother Hong, some goods don't take up much space but are very valuable."

"Brother Xian is not talking about gold, is he?"

"No, I'm talking about medicines." Xian Yaowen squatted down again and picked up the tea bowl on the ground, "This involves another business. I will talk to Brother Hong later. Let's talk about the current situation first. Since this detour around Hong Kong is Instead of opening a club, we might as well try to cooperate in depth with the club.”

"How does Brother Xian plan to cooperate with the society?" Hong Yingdong was very worried.

Xian Yaowen looked at the nervous look on Hong Yingdong's face and chuckled: "Brother Hong, don't be nervous. I already had the idea to find a society to cooperate before I came to you. Our business is huge and we need more people to join.

I think Liu Rongju, whom you mentioned to me last time, is a good potential partner. In a few days, I will find someone to connect with Liu Fu, and then Brother Hong will be with me. "

Hong Yingdong felt light all over, "So that's it."

Xian Yaowen fiddled with the watch strap, turned the dial towards Hong Yingdong, and tapped the dial with his finger, "I have to rush to the Peninsula Hotel before ten o'clock. Let's seize the time and talk about the most important things."

"I hope Brother Xian can pay me 7 yuan in advance. I plan to..."

Xian Yaowen waved his hand to stop Hong Yingdong and said, "Hey, Brother Hong doesn't need to tell me how to use the money. If Brother Hong has nothing to do today, you might as well go to the Peninsula Hotel with me. I'll treat Brother Hong to lunch, but I don't have time to accompany you. Wait. After dinner, Brother Hong went with me to HSBC to withdraw money."

"Brother Xian, since you have something to do, go and do it first. Money is not a worry."

"No, no, no, eating and withdrawing money are secondary. Later at the Peninsula Hotel, I and Dongyang's guests will have the most important negotiation on a business, and I want Brother Hong to observe it up close.

The economy in Dongyang is booming, and there are many opportunities to make money. If Brother Hong wants to do business with Dongyang people in the future, this observation will at least give him an early understanding of the way Dongyang people work. "

Upon hearing this, Hong Yingdong immediately clasped his fists and said sincerely: "Brother Xian, thank you very much."

"Brother Hong, please don't be polite. The trade route is dangerous and difficult. It's rare to find a confidant. You and I should help each other." Xian Yaowen said equally sincerely: "I have been busy since I arrived in Hong Kong. Wait until the first month, why not find a good weather On a nice day, you and I will go out for a picnic in the countryside together."

"Good idea, but before the outing, I have to go to Brother Xian's house to pay New Year's greetings."
