324 [Seeking Wealth and Danger]
In fact, no one knew that Song Zhichao was anxious at the moment. Originally, factories and enterprises on the mainland were the best objects for material procurement, but doing business in China required a series of procedures, especially if they wanted to transport these canned food, wine, and clothing to the Soviet Union, they had to apply for "light industrial product export contracts".
Song Zhichao needs time now, and he doesn't have much time, now he must first prepare a large number of materials, take advantage of the convenience of Hong Kong as a free trade port, use sea transportation, as the first batch of samples, and directly pull them to the Soviet Union.
But now that the supplies in the whole of Hong Kong have almost been procured by him, Song Zhichao finally hit the head of the British troops stationed in Hong Kong.
There are now about 30,000 to 50,000 British troops stationed in Hong Kong, and their supplies, especially war stockpiles, are very abundant. According to Song Zhichao's inquiry, many cans and liquor in the warehouses of the British army were moldy and spoiled, and they could not be disposed of.
In addition, these British are actually very greedy for money, especially in this peaceful war era, the so-called "war reserves" are a joke, and there is no other use for them except to make those good things moldy and smelly.
Many British officers and quartermasters, when they were short of money, occasionally made some small moves, selling part of the military supplies in the warehouse and exchanging them for pocket money.
This is no secret among the British troops stationed in Hong Kong in Hong Kong, and the reason why many British officers can go to Lan Kwai Fong for recreation and go to the rich and rich is because they are tired of making things out of the barracks and turning them into wine money.
Song Zhichao took a sip of tea, wiped his lips, and patted the leather bag beside him with his hand, in fact, this is almost all his belongings, 30 million at first spent 15 million, and then gave Qi Wanda 10 million, and asked him to help buy canned food and wine, and now he has 5 million left in hand, which is considered to be all packed and brought, the purpose is to let Lin Jiaqi help get out part of the military supplies of the British army stationed in Hong Kong to supplement the number of his goods.
It is precisely because of this that Song Zhichao is now so poor that he can't even take out 300,000 lawyer fees, so he has no choice but to fool Bi Wenfeng out and ask Lin Jiaqi to help "pay".
For Song Zhichao, Lin Jiaqi has made a lot of money through himself, at least 10 million, and if he is bleeding, it should be no problem to help pay 300,000 yuan.
"Later, you go shopping in the Mong Kok Flower Market, buy a few pots of flowers and plants that you like and look like they are carefully cultivated, and buy potted plants temporarily, it is difficult to buy valuable and satisfactory things on the spot, you can only choose according to your own heart--- the most important thing is this ......" As he spoke, Song Zhichao took out a note from his pocket, " This is the hobby of Mary, the wife of William, a senior officer of the British Army stationed in Hong Kong, who likes to cook, and there are potted plants--- the names of the bonsai are written on it; Zhong You, a little tip for you, I heard that William secretly went to Macau recently and lost a lot of money, and he and Maria's eldest daughter is going to study in the United States, and the funds on hand are quite tight. ”
Lin Jiaqi didn't know what to say, everyone said that this Song Zhichao was a traitor, Lin Jiaqi was a little unconvinced before, but now ---
Lin Jiaqi snatched the note from Song Zhichao's fingers, and said to him with a smile: "Have a heart, help me check the opponent's bottom so clearly, I still need to do it, just stuff the money in the past." ”
Song Zhichao didn't care about the ridicule in the other party's tone, but directly pushed his briefcase containing money to Lin Jiaqi and said: "You know better than me how to do it--- were you doing skin care last night?"
Lin Jiaqi was stunned and didn't understand why he asked this.
Song Zhichao said: "Look at your note, Maria also likes to do beauty and skin care treatments." You're very much in the same hobby!"
Lin Jiaqi: "......", rolling her eyes.
......
Mong Kok, Hong Kong, high-end private club:
"Beauty Skin Care & Beauty Center" ---
As the wife of William, a high-ranking British military officer stationed in Hong Kong, Maria has been living in Hong Kong for about five or six years. From being uncomfortable at the beginning, to being familiar and suitable now, Maria feels that she is about to become half of a "Hong Konger".
Now Maria's favorite thing to do is to get up early in the morning, and then go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, choose the freshest vegetables, and some more alternative ingredients, such as the bullwhip that she used to never look at directly, and then choose some angelica, wolfberry or something, according to the soup recipe given by her grandmother, to help her husband William make a bowl of strong enough "bullwhip angelica soup".
Maria liked this soup very much, to be precise, his husband William also liked it, and every time he drank this soup, his husband William would become very brave, and then the two of them could avoid the child tossing in bed all night.
For this reason, Maria began to believe in the traditional Chinese dietary culture, especially in terms of food supplements, and also invented many high-quality recipes by herself.
Today, after selecting ingredients at the wet market in Yau Ma Tei, Maria drove to this beauty shop in Mong Kok for a personal treatment. Women, you have to be kind to yourself, not to mention that in Maria's view, only by dressing herself up as young and beautiful, dear husband William is not easy to change her mind.
Maria came to the skin care and beauty shop with ease, the female staff in the store knew her, knew that she was the official wife of the ghost, and she had been here many times, but she was more picky, and never gave them a tip, not to mention the tips of these female workers, and every time she enjoyed the service, she had to bargain, which was more lonely than the local grandmother in Hong Kong.
But in business, the most important thing is to take the initiative and be enthusiastic, even if you don't like this ghost woman very much, the receptionist still receives Maria very warmly, and then helps Maria carry things and invites her in.
Accustomed to being served, Maria walked into the store with a swagger, and while depositing her belongings at the front desk, Maria's eyes were suddenly drawn to a beautiful potted plant.
"Oh God, it's so beautiful. Maria complimented.
"Thank you for the compliment, dear madam. A voice sounded behind her.
When Mary looked back, she was a richly dressed woman, looking familiar.
"Excuse me, do we know each other?" If it were an ordinary person, Maria would never ask such a question easily, as a family member of a high-ranking official, she has a high vision. But the woman who suddenly appeared in front of her was obviously different from ordinary people, not to mention that she also had such a beautiful potted plant.
"We have met, Lady Mary. Lin Jiaqi showed a very friendly expression to Maria, "My surname is Lin, my name is Lin Jiaqi, and we have met at charity banquets before. ”
"Oh, is it?" Mary couldn't remember, she had participated in too many charity events, and often participated in the past for the beautiful event gifts, as for donations, she had only donated some long-used clothes, but the money was very small, if it was not necessary, she would never donate.
"It seems that you are a noble person--- but it doesn't matter, as a gift for us to meet again, I will give you this carefully selected potted plant. ”
"Oh God, that's embarrassing. Mary said she was embarrassed, but her eyes habitually glanced at the delicate potted plant.
For her, receiving gifts from others has become a habit. didn't know that Lin Jiaqi had already connected with her with the help of such a potted plant.
Soon, under the effect of potted plants, Lin Jiaqi and Maria were doing beauty and skin care in the same room.
Lying on the skin care bed, the two became good friends who talked about everything. To be precise, everything that Lin Jiaqi said was basically what Mary was interested in. For example, bonsai art, for example, food culture......
So much so that in just half an hour, Maria had completely lowered her guard and regarded Lin Jiaqi as a "good friend" who talked about everything.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Lin Jiaqi signaled the staff to go out, and then said to Maria mysteriously: "Madam, I know that you have been short of money recently, so I have a very profitable deal, I don't know if you want to listen?"
Maria, who had just finished complaining to Lin Jiaqi and said that she had been nervous recently, suddenly lit up, but she still asked with a little vigilance: "Is there a risk?"
Lin Jiaqi smiled: "Don't you know that we have a saying in China, called ---seeking wealth and danger!"
