Chapter Twenty-Four: Add equipment and buy a house again, stabilize the market!

On November 22, 1972, the morning after we moved to Hong Kong City, after breakfast, Yibang and Shulan studied and looked after the house at home. Qiao Yan took Liao's mother to the shopping malls and commercial areas where she was familiar with daily grocery shopping and daily use.

Song Xiaobing and I took our documents, weapons, and cash to the bank to open an account and remit money, as well as to buy vehicles, darkroom equipment and supplies, commercial radio stations, and large office supplies.

After going out, we took a taxi to the nearby UBS, at the UBS counter I instructed Song Xiaobing to fill in the form for account opening and bank passbook, Song Xiaobing submitted the application form and personal local ID card to the bank counter, and set up a password and entered fingerprints, Song Xiaobing had a UBS account, and I remitted $1 million to Song Xiaobing at the counter in the account of Jinding Company in Hong Kong City.

Song Xiaobing found $1 million in the account through the bank counter, and Song Xiaobing withdrew $10,000 in reserve funds through the counter. Then, after we pack our things, we leave the bank and take a taxi to the car market to buy a vehicle!

At 10 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the largest local car trading market, where the cars are all imported cars from Europe and the United States, and they are all right-hand drive vehicles. In the Secret Service School, we practiced and tested driving such vehicles.

In order to facilitate the pulling of goods and people, we bought a two-ton six-seater pickup truck in a large car dealership after passing the test run; An eight-seater off-road vehicle. $68,000 in cash was paid to the dealership.

The car dealer helped me, Qiao Yan and Song Xiaobing *****, vehicle registration, vehicle driving certificate, etc., and gave us a tax purchase of $68,000**, and also gave us promotional items of 100 liters of fuel cash coupons for each car.

After the purchase, after the car dealer helped our two vehicles fill up the gas, I drove the jeep and Song Xiaobing drove the pickup truck, and we purchased darkroom equipment and supplies, commercial radio stations, and large office supplies.

We purchased a set of darkroom equipment in the photographic equipment market, including film processing equipment, and consumables such as developer and fixer for developing film; A set of photographic equipment, photo fixing equipment, gluing and dryer, photo cropping tools and photographic paper, photographic potion, etc. We also purchased two professional SLR cameras, long and short lenses, film, etc. We spent more than $35,000 here.

We spent $5,000 on a portable commercial radio station and rechargeable batteries, three safes, two telephones, four English typewriters, paper, notebooks, pens, ink, company financial books and bills, etc.

These things filled our jeeps and pickup trucks, and after we sorted out all kinds of taxes**, we sorted out the goods and drove back to our home in Jinling Garden.

We arrived at home just after 1pm. After we parked the vehicle, we all moved the goods to our home together.

Qiao Yan and Liao's mother had already made lunch, and after everyone had finished eating, Qiao Yan, Liao's mother, Yibang and Shulan placed light office equipment and supplies.

Song Xiaobing and I moved the two bulky safes to the office on the second floor with planks and ropes.

After doing these things, Song Xiaobing and I arranged a darkroom in the basement in a room closest to the exhaust outlet, and installed film processing equipment, photographic equipment, photo fixing equipment, glue and dryer, etc., and placed consumables such as developer, fixer, and photographic potion in the specified position. We installed an exposure-proof curtain and a red light for lighting, and set up a workbench where the cutting tools were placed.

After the darkroom was set up, we set up a photography studio in a cubicle in the basement, where two DSLR cameras and photographic equipment were placed.

These photographic skills are all learned in the secret service school, and we have reached the professional level of photographers and photo studio technicians who can open a photo studio.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, we were busy with these things, Qiao Yan also went to the property management office to apply for the installation of the telephone, and the technicians of the telecommunications company were helping us install the telephone and dial the phone.

Soon, the telecommunications company personnel did everything, we successfully applied for a phone number, opened local and international long-distance telephone services, Qiao Yan paid $500 for the installation fee, $1,500 for the telephone bill advance. The staff gave Qiao Yan a bill for charging taxes**, as well as a telephone payment book, etc.

After the telecommunications company personnel took care of the matter, they drove away!

And just like that, we were pretty much done with the settling down, and we spent a total of 133158 dollars in cash.

After dinner, Liao's mother did the housework, and Yibang and Shulan watched TV in the living room.

I, Qiao Yan, and Song Xiaobing had a meeting in the office.

Qiao Yan said: "Alas! Everyone has worked hard in the past two days! This home is finally settled! ”

Song Xiaobing said: "Yes! There are so many things to settle in! I'll go back to Yangcheng tomorrow! There's something to do over there, too! ”

Qiao Yan said, "You can leave again tomorrow afternoon!" In the afternoon, when I went to the property management office here, when I reported the phone, a property manager told me that the parents of Director Chen Shanshui, who sold us this house, did not die of illness! A tragic murder occurred here more than a year ago! Director Chen's parents and family all died in this family! These people are very evasive, and the landlords of the four villas near our house have moved away, and they want to sell these houses cheaply! The price is only 60,000 US dollars, even if we pay the handling fee, it is much cheaper than when we bought this suite! The property manager called the landlord and I want to buy all four apartments tomorrow morning! I, Song Xiaobing, Yibang and Shulan each have one set! Lone Dragon, what do you think? ”

I said, "Yes! There is a company to pay for it! Property is a store of value! It's safer than cash! ”

Song Xiaobing smiled and said, "Okay! I have my own house here, too! Tomorrow morning, after I buy a house with you, I will go back to Yangcheng! ”

Qiao Yan said: "Song Xiaobing! When you go back this time, I'll tell you the password of the original safe over there! In the future, you help me manage the cash inside, and the cash ledger is in it, so you can help me keep the accounts in the future! If there is something, we will contact you by phone! It's a lot easier! ”

Song Xiaobing said: "Qiao Yan! Thank you for your trust! I'll take care of your money! ”

Qiao Yan said: "I and Lone Dragon will manage the company here, please rest assured!" The financial accounts of Gangcheng Jinding Company will not be messy! Before, Gulong Company and I received a reserve of $200,000 per person in our accounts, and this time Song Xiaobing received a reserve of $1 million! These reserves, if not used for official business, will be part of the dividends in the future! ”

Song Xiaobing said: "Qiao Yan! You don't have to say more! I believe in you! We are shareholders and family! Everyone will be clear about public and private! ”

......

On the morning of November 22, after breakfast, Qiao Yan invited four landlords who were going to buy a house to our house, and we talked in the living room.

The landlord showed us the title deeds, title deeds and structural drawings of the four villas, and then showed us the villas.

Their villas are the same as our houses, and the structure and house type are the same.

After looking at the house and negotiating the price, I, Qiao Yan, Song Xiaobing, Yibang and Shulan took their personal documents and drove the cars of the four landlords in an off-road vehicle to the nearby authorities real estate trading center to buy the house and transfer the ownership.

At 10 a.m., we arrived at the real estate trading center. Due to the experience of buying a house last time, I guided Yibang and Shulan to sign the "House Sale and Purchase Contract" with the two landlords, and Qiao Yan and Song Xiaobing signed the "House Sale and Purchase Contract" with the two landlords.

We quickly signed the contract in accordance with the regulations, and we handed the real estate certificates and property certificates of the landlord's four villas, together with the signed purchase contracts, to the transaction and transfer window.

After the staff inside reviewed and stamped, Qiao Yan remitted $252,000 of the purchase price and deed tax to the account of the trading center through the account of Gangcheng Jinding Company.

Soon, all four landlords were in their personal bank accounts and received $60,000 each for the purchase. They handed over the house keys to Qiao Yan, property management fees, water bills, electricity bills, gas bills and other payment certificates, and Qiao Yan checked in advance at the property management office that they were not in arrears!

The certificate window gave the four villas the "House Sale and Purchase Contract", the purchase tax, the deed tax, as well as the new real estate certificate, title deed and house structure plan. The property rights all fell into the names of Qiao Yanfei, Song Haijin, Mak Yibang, and Mak Shulan, which is the official identity of the four of them in Hong Kong.

After taking care of things, the old landlords left, and we packed up our things and returned home.

At 12 noon, we returned home, Liao's mother made lunch, Qiao Yan locked the four property certificates to her safe, and she was responsible for helping everyone keep the properties.

After everyone finished lunch, Song Xiaobing packed his luggage, documents and belongings, and called his home in Yangcheng to pick him up.

After he said goodbye to everyone, I drove him to Longye Wharf in an off-road vehicle to take a speedboat back to Yangcheng.

We are very close to Longye Wharf, only ten minutes by car, after we arrived at the wharf, Song Xiaobing caught the speedboat at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and we shook hands and said goodbye.

Song Xiaobing smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! Let's go back! I'm on board! ”

I said, "Okay! Take care on the road! Call us if you have a situation! ”

After Song Xiaobing nodded to me, he got on the boat with his duffel bag, I looked at his back, and felt that he had grown taller and stronger, and he had become mature and sophisticated!
