I opened the floor-to-ceiling windows of the bedroom and welcomed a ray of sunshine in the morning. I walked out to the balcony and looked at the quiet beach at the foot of the mountain, the Repulse Bay in the distance, and the charming sea view of South Bay. It was such a romantic and quiet place amidst the bustle.
place……
Among the villa areas in Hong Kong, the oldest and most expensive one is definitely the Taiping District, and the most famous is the Governor's hilltop villa. Originally, Chinese were not allowed to live at all, but later they were slowly opened to Chinese businessmen. There is almost no square inch of land there.
Gold has become a symbol of status.
Of course, the US$800,000 that Li Yuan left to Huang Jiaojiao could not afford to buy a luxurious villa in Taiping District. So he chose the Nanwan Villa here. The original owner also immigrated with his family, and also relied on connections to detect real estate leaks.
Although Nanwan is still relatively desolate now, a few decades later, it will also rank among the top villa areas in Hong Kong.
What's more interesting is that Hong Kong has left over many colonial habits - villas like to be built on hillsides, and the closer they are to the top of the mountain, the more noble they look.
Unlike the ancient Chinese tradition, good Feng Shui is close to mountains and rivers.
But having said that, climbing up here and looking out can really make people feel comfortable.
Li Yuan knew very well that even if the value of a villa like this hadn't skyrocketed yet, it would definitely not be worth 800,000 US dollars. So Huang Jiaojiao must have subsidized a lot of private money in private.
…
Li Yuan didn't expect that Huang Jiaojiao directly brought him to this villa last night, saying that she wanted to give him a big reward.
And looking at the decoration style in the villa, it is obviously a "love nest" template. It is just a little bit cute, which makes Li Yuan a little dumbfounded. There is no way, how can the eldest lady not have princess disease?
A man and a woman alone stay together, and there is a reward. Who can withstand this? So the two of them got it right, and they got the hang of it and spent most of the night...
As the sea breeze blew, Li Yuan was still thinking: It was so beautiful!
"Xiao Yuanzi, do you have your phone number? Are you bothered?" Huang Jiaojiao's voice came. She was still on the bed, half-closing her eyes and looking at the lake, holding up her mobile phone, looking very excited to get up.
"Haha." Li Yuan took the eldest brother and patted Huang Jiaojiao. The eldest lady was like a big white insect, hiding in the bed and squirming constantly. She moved and acted coquettishly in Li Yuan's arms.
"Hey, are you Li? I'm Yin Wan, do you remember me?"
"Of course I remember, my friend." Li Yuan laughed heartily. In fact, he had almost forgotten about this former Soviet officer.
On the phone, Yin Wan was obviously relieved: "Li, I didn't find you in Sokil. Then I called the Hong Kong number you left, and a lady gave me your contact number. I just wanted to ask.
, you... still need those goods from last time? The goods are in Africa now."
"No problem. How many do you have?"
Although the Republic of Vera does not have a large market, it cannot cope with the large population in the Congo River Basin. The country of Congo alone (later split into two) has a population of more than 80 million. If other countries in the entire basin are included, the population is 100 million.
Many big markets.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about selling those military logistics materials. Especially the price obtained is very cheap. It is just a matter of time. Sooner or later, they will all be sold.
In today's African continent, as long as it is cheap enough, all kinds of junk can be sold except for arms. In a few years, all the arms provided by the military in the past will have been embezzled, and there will be no need to worry about selling the arms at all!
However, after hearing Li Yuan's words, Yin Wan became hesitant: "Li, I'm back in St. Petersburg now, and the people in Africa are my friends in the army. They are the first batch of people who want to trade 100,000 US dollars in cash. Don't worry, the goods are all there.
Africa, I guarantee it with my reputation."
"No problem." Li Yuan didn't care at all. Maybe ys (Africa) could get the $100,000 in cash with a little bit of money. Maybe the quantity of the goods was relatively large, and Yin Wan's friend was a little worried.
As for fraud? Isn’t it just 100,000 US dollars? Li Yuan can afford to lose it.
"Yin Wan, how many goods do you have this time?"
"have no idea."
"have no idea?"
"Those white-eyed wolves, why did you leave things to them? What the hell... I'm sorry, I won't say more, I'm in a bad mood." Through the tone of the microphone, you can feel Yin Wan gnashing his teeth.
"..." Li Yuan had nothing to say. Maybe after returning to St. Petersburg, Yin Wan finally suffered a severe beating from society.
After being quiet for a few seconds, Li Yuan changed the subject: "Yin Wan, if the quantity is really too big, I may not be able to get that many US dollars. Maybe I have to give you the goods you need like last time."
Yin Wan immediately came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Actually, I told my friend that it's better to get the goods. After I returned to China, the best sellers were your cosmetics and daily chemicals. They were several times the price.
profit."
Li Yuan heard what he said and said with a smile: "Okay! Send a fax and I will send you another 200,000 US dollars in goods."
Yin Wan laughed: "My friend, don't worry, I will use the goods as collateral in Sokil..."
"I just want to trade in some of your used trucks."
"Yes! They are all available in Thorkill."
"..."
To be honest, a business like this is easy to say but extremely difficult to say difficult.
Those goods must be military supplies from the former Soviet Union, and are now being resold by Yin Wan and the others. It is impossible to sign any contract, and no written evidence will be left. Moreover, the amount is relatively huge, and Yin Wan and the others are also afraid of long nights and dreams. In addition, it is for military use after all.
Materials are relatively sensitive.
Therefore, we need to find a successor with strength, energy and background.
During this period, such a takeover was not so easy to find. Unlike a few years later, everyone on earth knew about the clearance sale of military supplies from the former Soviet Union. Nowadays, few people have the courage to do so.
There is also a matter of habit.
Yin Wan and the others all came from the army of the former Soviet Union. People like them don't pay much attention to contracts, but rather value friendship, loyalty, and credibility. Therefore, Li Yuan's boldness is very popular with them.
After ending the call, Li Yuan called Qian Yong in Sokil and told him about the matter...
But Huang Jiaojiao on the side was already waiting impatiently: "Xiao Yuanzi, I can't get up! I'm starving to death——!"
"Haha. Okay, okay, isn't this just to help your Liyuan make money?"
"But I keep hearing you giving it away? Sooner or later, you will lose everything!"
"It's all my money." Li Yuan didn't dare to make a guarantee, "Get up soon, Jiaojiao. There is nothing in the refrigerator."
"Huh? How do you know my name is Jiaojiao?"
"Nonsense, isn't your name on the listing information?" Li Yuan was amused, "Jiaojiao? Lihua? Hahaha!"
"So old-fashioned——!" Huang Jiaojiao got into bed again, "Don't scream! I won't live anymore——!"
