Two houses in two prosperous areas in the city center cost only RMB 80,000. After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian had the idea of not buying the kitchen at all and only buying a house in a prosperous area of Hong Kong Island.
Then I thought, why do I want to buy a factory? There is a lot of wasteland across the street. I might as well spend some money to buy a wasteland, learn from Hong Zhennan, and build a vegetable market to occupy the space.
While importing various dry goods from the mainland for sale, we also sell the things produced in Xinshou Village, which is a three-fold success.
When the business of the market stabilizes, we can completely follow this model in the future and build multiple markets in Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui and other places to enclose the land.
By the way, he brought over Yidiantian's apprentice Sanjiang Shui to work for him, and even recruited apprentices from other boxing gyms. He could easily recruit a group of people to work for him.
If you do other business in the future, you won’t have to worry about being noticed or even having your business taken away because of your lack of power.
When land prices rise, not only will this investment require less investment, but the output will be stable, and the rate of return will be no slower than building your own building.
In the 1980s and 1990s, buildings began to be built with stores and supermarkets on the first and second floors, and office buildings above. The next five or six buildings would be worth tens of billions at least.
Looking at Fei Bo, he said, "Detective, how much does it cost to help me complete the purchase and sale procedures of that factory?"
Fei Bo doesn't mind making some money. Besides, he just acts as a middleman and helps with the buying and selling procedures. He can only make a few trips and find some acquaintances to help him.
Just seeing Hong Zhennan looking at him, Fei Bo cursed in his heart.
This fat man is a weird one among all the detectives. If it were another detective, Hong Zhennan would be kept and taken care of.
But Fei Bo was not only controlled by Hong Zhennan, but he also had no airs about Master Ye.
However, Fei Bo may not be impressive enough, but people like him can live longer.
Fei Bo thought for a while and knew that he couldn't trick Chu Qiangqian this time.
"The district office has a thousand yuan, and the custody can handle the formalities. The police station has 500 yuan a month. If you have any trouble in the future, we will take care of it.
But the military uniforms go out to patrol every day and ask for favors from the vendors, so don’t stop them."
Chu Qianqian glanced at Hong Zhennan, and when he saw him nodding, he immediately smiled and said to Fei Bo, "When it's done, I'll give you a lot of money.
I will bring back another sika deer. Half of it will be sent to your house, and the other half will be roasted and eaten together. As for the tiger meat and venison barbecue I promised.
Give me a few days to prepare, and we will go to Master Hong’s house and eat in his yard.”
Fei Bo was overjoyed, and Hong Zhennan also smiled happily.
After drinking a few more drinks, Hong Zhennan asked, "Master Chu, after you want to buy the factory, if you are in need of aquatic products, I will help you introduce some fish bosses."
Chu Xiangqian secretly said that Hong Kong Island is close to the sea, so we really can’t just buy river fish.
Doing seafood business has become inevitable.
I quickly thanked Hong Zhennan.
But then, I suddenly felt that with my connections in the mainland.
It should be easy to set up a bicycle or electric fan assembly factory.
If business is good, just buy the equipment yourself and import raw materials from the mainland.
It can be regarded as adding more jobs to Hong Kong Island and making more money for myself.
Thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt that this matter seemed to be very interesting.
Fan Liu, Umbrella Kang, and Paper Flower Plum are all the first wealth accumulated through export business.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian knew that this matter should not be rushed, and he should at least ask the mainland if it could be done.
Questions such as how much it costs and whether the equipment can be produced will take time.
Also, we need to think carefully about how to make 80,000 yuan.
-------
After drinking and eating, Chu Qianqian originally wanted to vaguely remind Hong Zhennan not to be so impulsive and just go into the ring with that British boxer without making any preparations.
But seeing that he was in a good mood, I secretly thought that we would talk about it tomorrow, lest the more I said this, the more he would feel that he looked down on him, and the more he would want to get into the ring.
After giving 1,500 to Fei Bo, Chu Xiangqian was not afraid that he would steal his money, but he would not do anything.
Early the next morning, Chu Xiangqian went out, found a phone booth, called Qian Guotai, and asked him to meet at a teahouse.
When they arrived at the place, Ti Que kept staring around, waiting for Qian Guotai to arrive. Seeing that no one was following him, Chu Qianqian came out of a private room.
Entered the private room where Qian Guotai was sitting.
"What do you want from me?"
Chu Xiangqian didn't hesitate, "I plan to buy a factory and build a vegetable market or something. Please help me ask what dry goods the mainland can provide me.
Also, you are helping me ask the superiors whether I can export spare parts for bicycles and electric fans, and what the export price is."
Qian Guotai was stunned and secretly asked Chu Xiangqian whether this was too radical?
Also, where did he get the money to buy the factory and purchase the goods?
"Go forward, did you make a mistake and take money you shouldn't have?"
"What are you thinking about?" Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes at Qian Guotai, "When I was in the Mainland, I was just an ordinary deputy section chief of public security. I only served as deputy section chief for more than ten days. I had no access to secrets, and I was not qualified to participate in major events. Besides, if you can make money standing up, why should you kneel down and be controlled by the British and locals, or even be treated like dogs?"
Qian Guotai finally felt relieved.
Thinking about it carefully, Chu Xiangqian not only killed so many Wanwan people, but also probably killed several islanders. He really had no chance to defect to foreign enemies.
"Okay, let me ask you." After saying that, Qian Guotai said with some worry, "Forget it, I'd better go back to the capital, in case the report is not timely, and the comrade who reported it may not explain it clearly."
This time, Qian Guotai left first. Chu Qianqian was sitting in a private room drinking tea and watching the Cantonese opera on the stage, but his thoughts were on the tits.
Since we are short of money, we naturally have to think about how to make money.
But it's not that easy to make quick money, so Chu Xiangqian had other ideas.
Thinking of Fei Bo's immediate boss, the English police superintendent named Wallace, Chu Qianqian naturally made an idea for him.
Titmouse circled several times outside the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, and soon found Wallace's office through the glass.
Seeing this old man talking on the phone, Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry. He first checked where he lived.
Unexpectedly, after 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a car drove into the police station, and a fat man, carrying a handbag, entered the police station carelessly.
Chu Xiangqian didn't pay attention at first, but when he saw the fat man entering Wallace's office, he took out a thick envelope from his handbag.
Chu Xiangqian immediately realized that this person should be here to deliver the fees.
The tit immediately flew to the edge of the window and stared directly at Wallace. After the fat man left, he opened the safe behind a painting on the wall.
Chu Qianqian could easily see the password clearly through the tit eyes.
Then I secretly thought that if there was a lockbox at Wallace's house, the password might be the same.
At around 5 p.m., I saw Wallace driving away from the police station after get off work. I thought he would go home, but I didn't expect that he actually went to a nightclub.
Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but cursed.
Fortunately, around 1 o'clock in the evening, this guy finally came out of the nightclub and drove drunkenly back to a small villa.
Chu Qianqian smiled and directed the tit to fly back to the police station. He tapped the glass with its beak a few times, easily knocking out cracks in a piece of glass.
Chu Qianqian hurriedly shouted to the chickadee to stop, and after thinking about it, he let it fly back to the dry goods store.
He grabbed two pieces of medical tape that Chu Qianqian had cut with his paws, flew back to the police station, and stuck them on the cracked glass.
After three trips back and forth, six pieces of tape were stuck on the glass, and when the titmouse smashed the glass with its beak, the glass that was broken into more than a dozen pieces was bonded by the tape, and the shattering sound was not loud.
Then they were picked up piece by piece by the tit and flew away, still in the open space a few hundred meters away.
After fixing the glass, Chickadee entered the office, grabbed the painting hanging on the wall, flapped its wings fiercely, and easily placed the five or six kilogram frame on the floor.
Then it’s the password to turn the safe.
This time it’s really hard for the tits.
The claws cannot grasp the wheel of the combination lock, and the beak is also useless.
Chu Qianqian thought for a long time, and finally he could only let the tit fly back, fly back with a rope in its mouth, and hang the knot on the nail on the wall used to hold the picture frame.
The tit is suspended in the air by two claw ropes, and uses its wings to turn the wheel of the combination lock.
Fortunately, Wallace used this lockbox often, and the wheel turned very smoothly.
It took two minutes for the tit to turn the wheel and enter the password.
Then he flew in the air in the office and pounced towards the wrench.
With the power of 1.1, Titmouse only used it twice to unscrew the wrench and open the password box.
There were more than a dozen bundles of cash tied into a ball with rubber bands.
Chu Qianqian was overjoyed when he saw this clearly through the tit's sight. The commander, the tit, grabbed a bundle of money and flew out of the office straight back to the dry goods store.
A bundle of cash fell into Chu Qianqian's hand and flew back to the police station.
After going back and forth more than a dozen times, Chu Qianqian directed Ti Qing to bring back all the items in the safe that could be moved.
By the time Chickadee brought everything back, Chu Xiangqian had already finished counting the cash.
One bundle is 10,000, and fourteen bundles is 140,000.
Chu Xiangqian laughed after thinking about it for a moment. It seemed that the fat man who came to deliver money at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon gave him the fees of the entire department managed by Wallace.
If the money is gone, Wallace will not be able to live well.
Then he looked at the documents brought back by Ti Que. After a while, Chu Qianqian’s pupils shrank.
I thought it was just some police station documents, at most including the account books where Wallace collected money.
Unexpectedly, there is indeed an account book for collecting money, and there is actually an account book in it that shows that Wallace cooperated with others to sell weapons.
It's just that although the account book records when and how many guns were shipped and how much money was received, there is no information about the collaborators.
Chu Qianqian could only think about letting Chickadee keep an eye on Wallace more from now on, and then when he goes to work tomorrow, he would make a time difference and sneak into his house to search.
Then he lay on the bed and silently thought about why this kind of account book was kept in his office instead of at home or other more private places.
We can only guess that Wallace feels that his office is the safest.
In this way, the matter of tits stealing can be naturally blamed on the arms dealer.
What Chu Xiangqian didn't know was that the villa where Wallace currently lives will be renovated next week so that his fiancée from London can come and stay for a while after spring.
Only then did I take out the account book that had been hidden in the safe at home.
I originally wanted to put it in a bank safe, but after thinking about it again, I still felt that my own office was safer.
When he went to work the next morning, as soon as Wallace entered his office, he saw the password box that was opened and empty. He was instantly stunned.
Chu Xiangqian, who was currently under the surveillance of Ti Qing, entered Wallace's villa while the servant was going to buy groceries.
When Wallace discovered that his password box had been stolen, he subconsciously closed the office door.
He rushed to his desk like crazy, lay down on the floor and found a UBS cashier's check from the secret box in the office.
Seeing that the 2 million promissory notes he had earned during his 6 years on Hong Kong Island were still there, Wallace felt better.
Then I sat silently at my desk, thinking about who stole the ledger.
Without thinking for a while, Wallace felt that the person who stole the ledger must be a cooperating arms dealer.
Only they have this motive and will keep an eye on their own accounts.
Thinking about the decoration of the villa again, Wallace hurriedly picked up the phone and called a team of Asans.
I drove to the decoration company.
He wanted to know if the decoration company had any relationship with his collaborator.
Once the guess is correct, it is basically certain that the ledger was stolen by the collaborator.
Chu Xiangqian had already found the password box in the villa, but unfortunately his efforts were in vain this time.
After trying with the password, although it couldn't be opened, it didn't stop Chu Xiangqiang.
He forcibly took the entire password box into the Novice Village, and in the open space, he took out his hunting knife and slashed hard.
The durability of the hunting knife was reduced by 2 points, and a gap was made in the lockbox.
When Chu Xiangqian saw this, he was overjoyed. He slashed four or five times and went to the blacksmith shop to repair the hunting knife. Then he slashed more than a dozen times and found that the door of the lockbox had been completely opened by him.
What is unexpected is that there are only some unimportant documents, a few jewelry boxes and less than 10,000 in cash.
Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but curse, and returned to the villa with some reluctance, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets and began to search.
More than an hour later, Chu Xiangqian sat helplessly on the sofa, secretly thinking that the money Wallace had collected over the years should be deposited in the bank.
It may even be a bank like UBS, which in this era represents secrecy.
Seeing the villa that he had ruined, Chu Qianqian gritted his teeth and simply set it on fire.
Anyway, in the end, Wallace will definitely think that it was the weapons dealer who did it, and at the same time, he will cover up any clues he left behind in this villa.
Ten minutes later, Chu Qianqian rode his bicycle and appeared in a tea restaurant a few kilometers away.
I saw through the tits that the villa was on fire, so I felt relieved and ordered a roast goose rice.
At noon, when Wallace returned from the decoration company and found no useful information, he was still wondering whether the weapons dealer had stolen his account books when the phone on his desk suddenly rang.
When I heard that there was a fire in my villa, I couldn't help but stand up suddenly. The only thought in my mind was that the reason why I wanted to be transferred back to London was that someone in London wanted to silence me.
