Two days later, when Zhao Donghuai walked out of the aisle at Luocheng International Airport, he saw a middle-aged man holding a banner with a welcome message in Chinese written on it.
The middle-aged man was Lao Li, the translator he hired last time, and there was a young man beside Lao Li.
Zhao Donghuai met Lao Li easily and got into the car after being polite. Zhao Donghuai smiled and said while driving smoothly, "Brother Li, you don't know what I wanted to ask you for help on the phone?"
Lao Li smiled and said, "Looking for a bodyguard? That's easy to say. I just have to wait for you to issue a work visa and arrange it."
Huayuan Group’s name starts with Hua.
The largest shipping group in China, even the shipping kings on Hong Kong Island, is not as good as Huayuan.
As for Mr. Zhao, the customer who sends money to Huayuan... he is also a Hong Kong businessman. As long as it is not illegal or illegal, everyone takes it very seriously.
After laughing, Lao Li thought again and asked curiously, "Mr. Zhao, there are some things I shouldn't ask, but bodyguard, have you encountered any difficulties?"
Zhao Donghuai called him across the ocean and asked him for help to find a bodyguard. The conditions were that he had a reliable background, was honest and dared to work hard, and don't be cowardly or run away when something happens. It's best to have a family, with parents, wives and children.
This condition is too ordinary.
To find these giants with Chinese prefixes, you only need to get a work visa to Hong Kong. It’s a trivial matter to get a group of people, but if you dare to fight hard, you also have a monthly salary of 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, including visa and food and accommodation.
This year is only 1983. What is the concept of a household worth ten thousand yuan in the mainland? How dare you offer a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan? This is too reckless. When the news spreads back, there will be absolutely countless people competing with each other.
Because of his daring to fight and his overly superior conditions, Lao Li had to ask a few more questions.
Zhao Donghuai said helplessly, "I can't help it. I just want to do business well, but I am often bullied by some local ruffians and hooligans."
"You said they are the same. Wouldn't it be better to compete legally? I'm not afraid of legitimate competition at all, but the various gangster methods are a bit unfavorable to others."
When Zhao Donghuai hired bodyguards, he not only asked Translator Li to find retired veterans, but also called the deputy factory of a large public paper mill in eastern Guangdong, asking them to find some from there as well, and the treatment would be the same as those offered here.
Even if he hires six people, the monthly salary is 60,000, which is nothing compared to the transaction of buying and selling waste paper. What’s more, he also has literary and entertainment businesses?
Translated by Li, "..."
Harassment and oppression by local gangsters... Well, he had considered this factor before meeting today, but felt that it was unlikely. To deal with local gangsters, he would need to hire someone with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan??
It’s so exaggerated!!
I didn’t expect it to be true.
After dozens of seconds of silence, a strange color flashed in his eyes. Translator Li nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, this matter is easy to handle."
In the early 1980s, it was not an exaggeration to say that a household worth ten thousand yuan was very prosperous, and it was not an exaggeration to wear colorful clothes, parade in the streets on horseback, but the legal income of a monthly salary of ten thousand yuan was still Hong Kong dollars...
Just dare to fight and work hard to be honest.
If you can afford to pay the bill, let alone a few, hundreds of them will be pulled out for you. But he knows that Mr. Zhao in front of him has limited money.
Last time I mentioned that I brought over 700,000 pieces of waste paper back to my sister’s house, but according to the current exchange rate of US dollars for Hong Kong dollars, it was less than 100,000 dollars.
If it weren't for Huayuan, it would be an empty ship. In addition, Hong Kong businessmen and compatriots came to the door. In line with the general principle of preferential treatment to Hong Kong compatriots... Don't forget, we are still talking about it now.
When Li Translator was a little confused about how to describe this "reason for hiring a bodyguard", Zhao Donghuai said curiously, "Brother Li, you also knew last time what I do. Have you ever thought about introducing some people outside the system?"
Friends, do it with me?"
"Such a big business cannot be carried out by just a few people. A legitimate business can be considered helpful to the development of the country. It is a pity to take advantage of those ruffians."
Translated by Li, "..."
He wished he could go to the sea, even though the big wave of going to the sea has not started yet, but just like what Director Zhao thought at first, he had no capital, and secondly, even if he scraped together the capital, it would be very difficult to go abroad after losing his public office in this era.
If he wasn't working as a translator for Huayuan in Amei's ocean trading system, how could he be at Amei's house so often?
It's hard to find a good job in the system in this day and age. Not everyone is determined and will give up at the drop of a hat. Is it high-quality in 1983 for a regular large group with a Chinese prefix and a sister who often travels on business?
Not to mention that Translator Li also has a family, an elder and a younger one.
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "Ha, I just mentioned casually that I want to find a few more reliable partners. Hey, there are a bunch of bad guys on Hong Kong Island who use their status as gangsters to bully good citizens like us all day long. It's a bit difficult.
."
Translated by Li, "..."
He was silent for a while again and said curiously, "By the way, Mr. Zhao, I heard that you are in Hong Kong Island and are from the film and television industry?"
It has been about 20 days since the last business ended, so some things are not difficult to find out.
Zhao Donghuai smiled and nodded, "Yes, I quite like the film and television industry. I am currently directing a movie. Although it is a script based on the story of a Hong Kong society and cannot be released in the mainland, it can be regarded as reflecting the social reality of Hong Kong and has profound meaning.
Critical and realistic satire."
"I hope it can be released smoothly."
Translator Li is silent again. The film and television industry is deeply involved with media and television stations. This is only 1983.
If you become famous in this industry, it will be a great social reputation.
Tens of seconds later, Translator Li handed over a cigarette and said with a smile, "Then first I wish Mr. Zhao, no, it is Mr. Zhao who will succeed and become famous internationally."
Zhao Donghuai laughed, "If Hong Kong Island can't survive, we can only come to Hollywood and give it a try. However, the competitive pressure in Hollywood is not less than that in Hong Kong Island, but is actually greater."
"Thank you very much Brother Li for your kind words. I hope that one day."
Translator Li's expression became more profound, is it Hollywood??
From the late 1940s until 1979, the Huayuan Group opened an ocean shipping route to A-Mei’s house for trading. It has only been 4 years now.
Sometimes, timing is really mysterious.
He was very envious of Mr. Zhao, a waste paper collector, for his terrifying profits, but what if this director would become an internationally famous director, step onto the international stage, and have a good relationship with the mainland from the beginning?
Then Translator Li may not be a translator all his life.
………………
One week later.
In early August, when Zhao Donghuai stood at Kai Tak Airport again and looked at the familiar environment of Hong Kong Island, his expression became excited. He had hired three people from the public paper mill in eastern Guangdong through entrustment. It should be quite reliable. It was impossible.
Just like what was shown in the simulator, when something happens, he will just abandon his boss's bodyguard and run away.
Huayuan Li Translator also introduced three.
The group of six also arrived in Hong Kong today. He could take a taxi and pick them up directly at Kowloon Station.
Over at Aimei's house, he got another batch of waste paper worth over one million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to over one hundred thousand dollars, on board. They were still walking on the sea, waiting for the checkout.
The crew? It shouldn’t be too difficult. We still have more than 2 million in the account. We won’t be afraid of running out of money to start work in ten and a half days.
………………
Rental house in a residential area in Kowloon Tong.
Ah Zha, who returned home after working a night shift, just opened the door and walked in. He was startled when he saw the capable figure of Liu Dao sitting on the sofa in the living room. He waited for him to turn around and walk out of the room, look at the house number and then come back.<
/p>
"..."
Several figures had already stood up, and they all looked at Ah Zha with bright eyes, making Ah Zha feel a little weak in his legs.
The next moment, Zhao Donghuai walked out of the bedroom and laughed, "Zha is back? Come and introduce some friends to you. You are a taxi driver and you are most familiar with various environments and social customs. Please help me these days.
A few friends would like to introduce Hong Kong Island."
"Two of them speak Cantonese very well, but there are a few who don't understand it well. Please pay more attention."
Ah Zha nodded hurriedly, "Okay, okay, Brother Huai, just give me your orders."
In his heart, Ah Zha is a little confused. Brother Huai is raising a flag and a stick to shake people? Then does he, who is often beaten by Brother Huai, be considered a veteran of the society? Has he been upgraded?
