Zheng Yi, who had changed into a silver-gray silk Tang costume and had a new look, finally came out, he came to Zheng Lanting in an orderly manner, stood up straight, and then bowed deeply: "Dad, I'm back." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Zheng Lanting forcibly held back the excitement in his heart, and carefully looked at his tall, handsome, mature and steady son: "The complexion is not bad, sit down, sit down, let's talk to each other." ”

"Yes."

Zheng Yi sat on the sofa on Zheng Lanting's right, nodded politely to the maid who brought the tea, and reported to Zheng Lanting in a low voice: "Liu Yu is still taking a bath in the room, I heard your laughter and came over first." ”

Zheng Lanting bowed slightly, and his face was full of kind smiles: "Why did you suddenly come to Hong Kong?" ”

Zheng Yi glanced at the servants standing around him, and saw that Zheng Lanting made a gesture that was even blunt, so he gave a brief report on the process of leaving Gannan and rushing to Huhai, and then coming to Hong Kong from Huhai, without explaining the reason, nor involving the party organization and the army, and finally said in an uncertain tone:

"This time I came back more suddenly, there are still some things to do in the next two days, meet a few guests, if things do not change, it is estimated that I will stay in Hong Kong for half a month to a month."

Zheng Lanting was noncommittal, stood up and motioned for everyone to go back to the room to rest, called Zheng Yi to his side alone, walked into the quiet study at the back together, and waited for the maid to bring refreshments and leave, then asked with concern: "You came back suddenly this time, you must have encountered some major changes, can you tell me?" ”

Zheng Yi smiled bitterly and replied not unapologetically: "I have encountered an accident, I can't go into detail about the specific reasons, I can only tell my father that my work has changed, and I will not return to southern Jiangxi or western Fujian to lead troops to fight for a long time in the future...... I'll have to see how things go in the next two days, and if nothing else, I'll be going back and forth between Hong Kong and Shanghai for a long time, maybe doing some business. ”

Zheng Lanting's eyebrows shook slightly, and he was silent for a long time and asked in a low voice: "Your identity is very sensitive, although no one has seen you, but many people know that there is a fierce general named Zheng Yi in the Communist army, have you considered the danger caused by this?" ”

Zheng Yi nodded heavily: "After thinking about it, I'm afraid that what I'm going to do is a little troublesome, and it is estimated that it will not be much safer than killing enemies on the battlefield, so in order not to affect my father and family, I want to ask my father to help me get a new identity." ”

Zheng Lanting seemed to understand, looked at his somewhat strange son, shook his head, and sighed faintly: "There is no problem with getting a new identity, do you have any ideas?" ”

"Originally, I wanted to get a U.S. passport, but I inquired, and the process was very complicated and took a long time, so I wanted to get a British colonial businessman, or a Portuguese colonial passport." Zheng Yi truthfully stated his plans.

Zheng Lanting was silent again, and weighed it for a long time before suggesting: "You think things are very thoughtful, I think you can get a passport of the Portuguese colony, tomorrow I will say hello to the people below, and then you go to take a photo, and help you do it within three days, you can decide what name to change to." ”

"Thank you, father!" Zheng Yi thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

Zheng Lanting waved his hand: "The business of Asia News Group is going well, the office building will be topped out in two months, the printing house and publishing and distribution department have been put into operation, the Chinese version of the Oriental Daily has been published for a month and a half, sales have gradually increased, and it is now in the third place among Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong." ”

"As for the English-language version of AsiaNews, it is still in preparation, mainly due to the lack of talent, and it is expected to be published on New Year's Day next year......"

"The real estate company has done the best, it is already the second largest real estate company in Hong Kong, the profit is far above the Kowloon Pier, the equipment of the radio station is still being installed and commissioned, and it needs to wait until the office building is capped before it can be put into official operation, you are back just right, if you have time, help me more."

Zheng Yi replied without hesitation: "Okay, if I stay in Hong Kong and want to start one or two more businesses, it seems that the time has almost come." ”

Zheng Lanting suddenly perked up: "Okay, now that the global stock market is rising sharply, it seems that there are opportunities to make money everywhere, I have long wanted to start a new company, but it is difficult to make up my mind!" You came back just in time, and when you are busy for the past two days, our father and son will have a good discussion. ”

"Dad, what's going on at the Swire Shipyard?" Zheng Yi asked.

Zheng Lanting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's very bad, almost no new ships have been built in the past two months, and at the end of last year, in order to secure my current position, I had to take over 12.5% of the shares of Swire Shipyard, and it seems that I am going to smash it in my hands." ”

"Does Swire Shipyard have weapons manufacturing qualifications in addition to shipbuilding qualifications? For example, weapons such as machine guns on warships or patrol boats. Zheng Yi asked again.

Zheng Lanting immediately understood what was going on: "A large enterprise like Taikoo Shipyard has the qualifications to manufacture weapons, even if it is not for me, it can be done, and the existing equipment can easily manufacture all kinds of light weapons and small-caliber artillery...... It's just, are you sure of this? ”

Zheng Yi nodded heavily, Zheng Lanting was a little surprised, and then looked down and thought about it, and a knowing smile appeared on his face.

……

……

At 9 a.m. the next day, Zheng Yi went to the ferry terminal alone, crossed Victoria Bay by transport boat, boarded the land in the Kowloon Concession, and walked for more than 10 minutes to arrive at the Huafeng Trading Company, where the intelligence station above the cargo terminal was located.

Cao Mancheng and Song Ziqing, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led Zheng Yi to the office on the second floor.

Zheng Yi, who came here for the first time, was quite satisfied with the two-story Western-style building with a total of nine offices, and learned that Xu Maofu had spent 65,000 oceans to buy all the property rights of the building at the beginning of the year, Zheng Yi happily praised Xu Mao's vision, which made Song Ziqing and Cao Mancheng, who were distressed about money, depressed...... In the eyes of the two, this western-style building, which has been used for more than ten years, is worth 40,000 oceans at most, and 65,000 is too expensive to buy.

Where does Zheng Yi care about these little things. In his opinion, this building is worth buying even as much as the price, the street above the wharf, the length is less than two miles, and there are less than 100 western-style buildings built along the east side of the street, all of which are now occupied by local and European and American merchants, and the west side of the street is the wide Kowloon Wharf, so such a superior location will not be possible in the future.

Being able to buy a western-style building in such a place where every inch of land is at a premium will only continue to increase in value, and you won't be able to buy it in another year or two.

Song Ziqing sent a cup of Guangdong herbal tea to eliminate the heat, Zheng Yi stretched out his hand to take it, sat down on the sofa, felt bitter after drinking half a cup, and was about to make a few jokes, when he saw Cao Mancheng and Song Ziqing still standing there, the look on his face was quite complicated, and Zheng Yi suddenly had a bad premonition.
