0795 [The protest is invalid! This thief is your decision! 】
The sun still rises.
The next day, the biggest news in Hong Kong was not that the Governor of Hong Kong was almost beaten to death when the Wharf foundation was laid - such negative news that affects the Hong Kong government's face is strictly prohibited!
The biggest news today is that Shi Zhijian's Wharf has officially started construction. To this end, Shi Zhijian raised HK$80 million and invited building materials manufacturers in Hong Kong to discuss the supply of raw materials.
Needless to say, the news concocted by Shi Zhijian was successful!
For the first time, "Oriental Daily" acted as Shi Zhijian's mouthpiece. With the aura of the great talent Ni Jiajian, "Raised 80 million yuan to buy out building materials and have fun!" bracketed, "Kowloon port is about to start construction, and we sincerely invite all building materials in Hong Kong."
Let’s discuss cooperation!” This article was a huge hit.
Now all real estate raw material suppliers in Hong Kong know that Shi Zhijian has money and wants to buy materials to build the Wharf Port, so they flock here with the purpose of making money!
Those selling sand and gravel, those selling bricks and tiles, and those selling floor tiles, doors, windows, and electrical materials all came in droves!
Shi Zhijian, Lai Hao and others cooperated in a sand and gravel factory, and the demand for sand and gravel was not too much. In contrast, the most demanded raw material for the entire Wharf construction was steel!
As a result, Hong Kong's two "steel kings" Pang Dingyuan and Zheng Zhizhong contacted Shi Zhijian respectively to discuss cooperation matters.
Finally, Shi Zhijian preliminarily negotiated the price of steel with the two men on the condition that "the quantity required is large", totaling 100,000 tons, at HK$120 per ton; during this period, the regular market price was HK$150 per ton.
Nowadays, Hong Kong's real estate is booming. For Pang Dingyuan and Zheng Zhizhong, the steel smelting output of their two major companies is enough to meet the needs of these real estate developers in Hong Kong.
And Shi Zhijian's Wharf is like a big appetite. The demand is huge, so of course they have to give appropriate discounts.
In response, Li Xuexuan and Li Jiacheng, who were also starting to build a hydropower plant, could only watch as Shi Zhijian purchased large quantities of steel.
Three real estate tycoons, Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, and Feng Jingqi, could only acquiesce in the supply contracts signed by Shi Zhijian and the two major steel companies.
Whether it's Pang Dingyuan or Zheng Zhizhong, they are all businessmen. They have money to make, so why not?
But soon, these two steel kings regretted it!
I regret signing such a large supply agreement with Shi Zhijian!
Because, Lei Luo took action!
Under the pretext of strictly investigating smuggling, the Hong Kong Marine Police began to ban used ships from docking at the Hong Kong pier! Foreign ships must declare them before they can be dismantled and cut at the Hong Kong port!
In other words, whether it is Pang Dingyuan's "Shaorong Steel Plant" or Zheng Zhizhong's "Jiehe Steel Plant", they all suddenly ran out of "raw materials" for smelting steel!
…
"The Marine Police issued an injunction, and ship scrapping and sales will no longer occur! The depletion of smelting resources will affect the price of steel!"
"Steel prices have skyrocketed, and real estate in Hong Kong is struggling!"
"The price of steel is 150 yuan per ton, soaring to 200 yuan!"
At the same time, Shi Zhijian's Wharf Construction continued to devour the steel reserves of Hong Kong's two major steel plants like a gold-eating beast.
But these steels are all in quantity. As much as the Wharf swallows up, the storage capacity will be reduced. This gradually affects not only the construction of hydropower plants by Li Xuexuan and Li Jiacheng, but also real estate tycoons such as Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, and Feng Jingqi.
real estate development plan!
To describe it in one sentence, there are more monks and less porridge, and Shi Zhijian’s appetite for porridge is too big!
We used to be in harmony with each other, but now the contradictions are slowly emerging.
At this time, the two major steel mills, Shaorong and Jiehe, went to great lengths to find raw materials for smelting, and even bought pots and pans from citizens at high prices, even those with a little bit of iron filings on them!
When many poor people heard that someone was buying this thing at a high price, they began to "sell the pot and sell it" across Hong Kong!
For a time, steel prices skyrocketed again!
…
"Dear Hu, thank you for the gift you gave me!" Bearded George, the quartermaster of the British military camp, patted Hu Juncai's shoulder enthusiastically.
Hu Juncai, wearing a large and generous suit, handed a box of fine Cuban cigars to the bearded George, and then bared his teeth and said: "I know that Mr. George likes to smoke cigars, so I asked someone to bring them from Cuba."
You’ve got this top-notch cigar, I hope you like it!”
"God, of course I like it! Look, this cigar box is made of cherry wood, how artistic!" George took the cigar box, opened it, took one and handed it to Hu Juncai.
Hu Juncai hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I can't get used to cigars!" But he said in his heart, the main reason is that it is too expensive, I feel sorry for you!
"Oh, that's such a pity! Cigars are a good thing!" The bearded George held the cigar and smelled it under his nose, pretending to be intoxicated, then grinned and said to Hu Juncai, "You gave me such a gift?"
How can I thank you for this precious gift? How about this? I have a good suggestion that can make a lot of money. I wonder if you dare to cooperate with me? "
"What advice?" Hu Juncai immediately rubbed his hands and asked as soon as he heard that there was money to be made.
"You can talk to your partner, Ms. Shi, when you go back. We have some old machines in the military camp that need to be disposed of!" The bearded George glanced at Hu Juncai, "As you know, the price of steel in Hong Kong has skyrocketed.
, if I sell those machines to you, you can make a lot of money if you sell them again!"
Hu Jun finally understood that this ghost quartermaster wanted to make a fortune by borrowing his hand.
"I'm sorry, Mr. George, I don't understand why you don't sell those machines directly instead of selling them through me?" Hu Juncai raised doubts.
The bearded George smiled, biting his cigar and showing his white teeth: "If you sell those machines through the military camp, they will need to be confiscated and reported! And through you, your big truck transporting vegetables is full when it comes, and it is full when it goes back.
Isn’t the time free? You can definitely put some machines in there..."
No matter how stupid Hu Juncai was, he understood that the bearded George actually wanted him to help smuggle it out!
This is a real "stealing" of military camp property. According to the laws of the British Empire, if you are caught, you will be shot!
Hu Juncai trembled and turned pale. Although he was greedy for money, he cherished his life even more!
"I'm sorry, Lord George! Actually, I'm not good at the scrap business! I'd better do my vegetable business! Haha!"
When the bearded George heard this, his expression changed, "What do you mean, dear Hu? I have always been very optimistic about you, and I always praise you in front of other quartermasters, praising you for being honest and brave! Last night Will and I
When they were playing cards together, they tried their best to recommend you, thinking that only you can help us transport those scrapped machines and turn them into treasures! Why, now you suddenly tell me that you are not willing? "
Hu Juncai grimaced: "I didn't ask you to recommend me! To be honest, I'm so scared. If someone finds me stealing supplies from the military camp, I will be shot!"
Upon hearing this, the bearded George smiled and said, "What did I think? It turns out you are afraid of this! Don't worry, dear Hu, I have taken care of everything inside and outside. Our quartermasters are very united. When the time comes,
You can just hide those machines on trucks and transport them out, and no one will say anything!"
"It's better not to do it! I'm afraid!" Hu Juncai said with a bitter face.
When George saw that Hu Juncai was so "ignorant", he couldn't help but sneer: "Really? I'm so sorry, it seems that we need to find other partners for our vegetable supply!"
"What?" Hu Juncai didn't expect this ghost guy to blackmail him with business threats.
"Dear Hu, don't think that I don't know that you and Ms. Shi have made a lot of money by supplying vegetables to our military camp! If I refuse your supply, other military camps will follow suit, and your vegetables will not be sold.
If you go out and rot in the warehouse, it will be miserable!"
Hu Juncai's expression changed again and again. He didn't expect this bearded guy to be so shameless.
George watched his words and saw that Hu Juncai was frightened by him, so he patted him on the shoulder and said: "If you help us this time, we will make a lot of money by working together inside and outside! Your share will be indispensable by then! The most important thing is, should we continue to do this?
Friends or enemies, you have to think carefully!"
Hu Juncai's eyes twitched, and then he said: "Please give me some time, I need to discuss it with Miss Shi!"
"Of course!" George was very satisfied with Hu Juncai's attitude. "You can give me an answer in one day, okay?"
…
"What? Are you asking us to collect scraps?" Shi Yufeng, who was getting a new hairstyle in a Hollywood hair salon, looked at Hu Juncai with wide eyes and said, "Is there anything wrong? It's okay to say that I am a vegetable seller, but now you ask me to deal with scraps.
?" Shi Yufeng was so angry that she even bounced the curling iron on her head.
Everyone in the hair salon looked sideways and looked at Shi Yufeng.
Shi Yufeng glared at them, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a pretty girl?"
Those customers turned their faces away again.
Teacher Tony, who helped Shi Yufeng do her hair, looked embarrassed.
Shi Yufeng waved her hand: "I'll do my hair later. Please pour me a cup of coffee first!"
Teacher Tony knew that Shi Yufeng had a different status and was a VVIP guest here, so he hurriedly bowed down and did not dare to disturb the conversation between Shi Yufeng and Hu Juncai.
After Teacher Tony left, Hu Jun whispered what the bearded George said. Shi Yufeng's eyes widened and she said: "What? Just collect scraps! You still want to be a thief?!"
"Ahem, Sister Yufeng, please keep your voice down! Don't let anyone hear you!" Hu Juncai looked around cautiously.
Shi Yufeng was furious when she saw his cowardice: "Look at you, you are so brave, you dare to agree to that ghost guy George to be a thief? Do you know that if you are caught stealing military camp supplies, you will be shot?"
When the time comes, don’t say that I can’t protect you, even my younger brother can’t protect you!”
"Sister Yufeng, what you said is wrong! I am not a thief alone, we are thief together!" Hu Juncai hurriedly pulled Shi Yufeng into the water, "That ghost George said that if we don't do it, he will fight with us.
Cut off the relationship and stop buying our vegetables!"
"If he doesn't buy it, he won't buy it. What are you afraid of?" Shi Yufeng asked.
"The problem is that if he doesn't buy it, other military camps will follow suit! Then our vegetables will rot in the warehouse and we will lose a lot of money!" Hu Juncai said with a bitter face, "You also know, these ghosts
I really like cuddling together!”
Shi Yufeng was stunned, and it took him a long time to say: "These ghosts are so shameless!"
"Yes, they are so shameless!" Hu Juncai echoed, "The question is what should we do now?"
Shi Yufeng pinched her chin: "Although our Shi family is not a big family, we have always acted openly and aboveboard! What's more, our ancestors are Shi Shouxin, the founding general of the Song Dynasty, and Shi Dakai, the wing king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in modern times! Since our surname is Shi, we will never do anything.
It's an insult to our ancestors! So----"
Shi Yufeng pointed at Hu Juncai's nose: "I won't do this, you will do it!"
Hu Juncai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly shouted: "This is not good! My ancestors were also very noble, like Hu Weiyong or Hu Xueyan, they would not let me be a thief!"
It's a pity that Shi Yufeng didn't give him a chance at all, "The protest is invalid! You have made up your mind for this thief!"
