Chapter 17 Hong Kong City Open Company, From now on there is a platform to go to sea!
On the morning of August 4, 1972, Qiao Yan and I drove us to Longye Wharf with $10 million in cash, documents, weapons and luggage.
After Song Xiaobing dropped us off at Longye Pier, he drove back to Phoenix Garden.
At 9 a.m., we boarded a speedboat flight to Port City at Lung Ye Pier.
This is the first time we have left the mainland to go overseas, so Qiao Yan and I are very excited.
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! Three hours later, we were in Port City! It's so close to the port city! ”
I said, "Yes! But for many people, this distance is very far away, after all, it is the open sea. Alas, we just went abroad! ”
Qiao Yan said: "Lone Dragon! Do you feel like overseas is the same as the mainland?! ”
I said, "It should be the same!" What else can you do where people live?! Isn't it all about life?! ”
......
At 12 noon, we arrived at the port city of Longye Pier.
Because the relationship between Long Ye and the government of the port city is not ordinary, there is no special person on this pier to check the documents.
We disembarked, left the dock and took a taxi straight to Charlie Zhang's law office.
......
In fact, we feel that there are still obvious differences between the overseas city of Hong Kong City and the mainland Yangcheng in terms of language and people's spiritual outlook, but in the secret service school, we have been trained on overseas lifestyles, as well as European and American lifestyles, so our unfamiliarity with Hong Kong City is not so strong.
Language, we are proficient in foreign languages such as English, and in the local Chinese dialect, although there are some differences in accents, we are also proficient, so it is not difficult for us to communicate with the people here.
At 1 p.m., we arrived near Charlie Zhang's office building, I asked Qiao Yan to look at the luggage, I called Charlie Zhang in the public phone booth, and after the phone was connected, Charlie Zhang's secretary told me to go directly to Charlie Zhang's office at 2:30 p.m.
So, Qiao Yan and I both had lunch at a nearby café, and we ordered a set menu of steak, cheese bread and coffee per person. Qiao Yan and I sat together and chatted while eating.
Qiao Yan said, "Oops! We don't know anyone here! Now, you know what strangeness is! ”
I said, "Yes! Actually, this city, we have seen it many times in photos and movies! However, it still feels very strange to have no acquaintances! ”
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Yes! In the future, I will be sure to have acquaintances and friends here! Wait, let's go to the hotel! It's so inconvenient to carry these bags around! ”
I said, "Okay! When we met Charlie Chang, we knew we were going to be here for a few days! When the time comes, let's go find a hotel and settle down! ”
......
At half past two in the afternoon, Qiao Yan and I entered Charlie Zhang's office with luggage and belongings.
Charlie Zhang is a middle-aged man in his thirties, not tall, relatively thin, wearing a crisp suit, black leather shoes polished well, his hair is very neatly combed, and he has gold-rimmed eyes.
He let us sit on the couch and talk to him and he ordered us coffee.
Charlie Cheung smiled in Cantonese and said, "Mr. Lone Dragon! Master Long told me! You're coming here today! Things to know about company registration! I have prepared the registration documents for you! However, you may have to rent an office first! In this way, you can fill in the relevant content on the registration paper! ”
I said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang!" How much should we pay you for a lawyer's fee? How long does it take to register a company? ”
Charlie Zhang said: "Mr. Lone Dragon! You are good friends of Master Long! Master Long explained, he will help you out of the service fee this time! Company registration is very simple, and once the registration documents and materials are ready, the registration can be completed in one day! Now go and rent an office! Then, get the lease and come back to me! ”
I said, "Mr. Zhang! Are there any requirements for our rented office? ”
Charlie Zhang smiled and said, "There are no specific requirements for this!" Just be able to work! Of course, if you are going to open a company for a long time! It's best to buy your own property! Housing prices in Harbor City are still very cheap now! You can go to the real estate agent downstairs to consult! ”
So, we left Charlie Zhang's office and went to the real estate agency on the first floor of the building to inquire about renting an office.
There are a lot of intermediary agencies here, and we found an agency with better decoration and went in to consult.
Qiao Yan and I entered the agency with luggage and a lockbox containing money, and a young man in his twenties immediately handed us business cards, this person was named Li Zhigang, and he was a manager here.
He then invited us to have tea and talk in a small reception room.
Manager Li said with a smile: "Looking at the appearance of the two of you, you must have just come from the mainland!" Are you renting or buying? ”
I said, "We want to rent an office." What do you recommend to Manager Li? ”
Manager Li said, "Sir! If you have a Hong Kong City ID card, it's best to buy a house! Now, the house prices are very cheap! Renting a house is not cost-effective! The house in Port City is at least 150 years land use right, and the property is permanent! And now the rent for 40 years is equivalent to the purchase price! Therefore, I recommend you to buy a house instead of renting it! ”
I said, "Good! What are the current rates? ”
Manager Li said: "This depends on the location and property quality!" If, you are working and living together! I recommend you to buy a villa! In this way, it will be a little easier for you! ”
I said, "How much does the villa cost?" ”
Manager Li said: "Good location, the price is more than 1,000 US dollars / square meter; Medium lot at $500/sq.m.; Generally lots are at $300/sq.m.! It's about the floor area! The supporting garden and green space in the courtyard are not worth the money! Generally, villas are three to four storeys with a total floor area ranging from 500 to 1,000 square meters! The most expensive is $1 million, and the cheapest is $150,000! ”
I said, "We want to buy the cheapest kind of villa!" ”
Manager Li smiled and said, "Okay! However, this kind of room is generally located in a partial location, and the transportation and living facilities are not very convenient! I wonder if you two are taboo about ghosts? ”
I said, "We don't have taboos!" Tell us about your recommendations! ”
Manager Li said: "A few months ago, a wealthy family's parents passed away one after another at home! Therefore, his son wants to sell their house! However, the people of Hong Kong City are very superstitious! Therefore, no one wants to buy this villa! This villa is considered to be in the upper middle range! His offer was $80,000, and he paid for the brokerage fees and closing procedures! This villa is four storeys with a built-up area of 800 square meters and a front and back yard of 500 square meters! If you think it's appropriate, I'll show you around now! ”
I said, "Okay! Where is the house? ”
Manager Li is on the map, this me and Qiao Yan see, this lot is in the north-east direction near the airport, and the lot is indeed medium!
I said, "Okay! Let's go and see the property now! ”
Then, Manager Li took us out of the agency, and we got into Manager Li's car with our luggage and belongings to see the house!
The place is not very far from the agency and it wasn't long before we got to the place to see the property.
It is a large villa area, inhabited by the wealthy middle class. There are banks, hospitals, shopping malls, schools, public transportation and other living facilities near the community, and the greening and environment of the community are also very good! This neighborhood is called Golden Ridge Garden.
We drove directly to the front yard of that villa, Manager Li had the landlord key, and he opened the door for us to enter the house to see what was going on inside the house.
The furniture and electrical appliances on the roof have all been emptied, and it is an empty house!
The first floor has a living room, dining room, kitchen, a handroom, a maid's room, and several utility rooms, etc., and the first floor has access to the basement, which is also wide in size and has several compartments.
The second floor can be furnished with offices and study rooms, etc.
The third floor can be furnished with bedrooms, etc.
The fourth floor can be furnished with utility rooms, etc., and the fourth floor has a wide terrace where you can have a casual chat.
The villa has a garage and garden in the front yard and the main garden in the backyard. The walls here are thick brick walls, and the walls are covered with roses, wisterias, etc., and the garden is planted with many roses, moonflowers, camellias, and osmanthus flowers. These plants should have been growing here for five or six years!
After visiting the house, Qiao Yan and I were quite satisfied, so we went back to Manager Li's agency and paid them a deposit of $2,000.
We made an appointment to go to the agency bank tomorrow morning to sign the "House Sale and Purchase Contract" with the householder, and then go to the nearby real estate transaction center to pay the money and handle the transfer.
After all these things are done, and it is dark! This is a commercial area in Kowloon, there are many hotels, Manager Li drove us to a nearby hotel to stay.
At the hotel, we asked for a large suite with two bedrooms, the room rate is 80 US dollars / day, and the buffet is provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which is quite a good hotel!
When we arrived at the room, we put away our luggage and did a simple wash, and then took the lockbox to the hotel cafeteria for dinner.
After arriving at the cafeteria, Qiao Yan and I took food and drinks, and sat together while eating and chatting.
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! I think the villa we looked at today is very good! In the future, I will also have a home in Port City! ”
I said, "Yes! It's Manager Li who will recommend the house! Just met people who are not afraid of us these days! ”
Qiao Yan said: "Alas! Superstition harms people! Tomorrow, we'll be able to register the company, right? ”
I said, "It should be about the same!" In the morning, we try to complete the house transaction and transfer! In the afternoon, go to the law firm to register the company! ”
Qiao Yan said: "So, I can go back to Yangcheng the day after tomorrow?" ”
I said, "Yes! When we go back to Yangcheng, we have to register the company there and deal with those RMB cash! Then, it's about to be business again! This year, we're going to make more money! Without money, we can't gain a foothold in Hong Kong City! ”
......
On the morning of August 5th, we woke up early, washed up, and then went out with papers, cash boxes, and weapons.
After having breakfast at the hotel, we went directly to Manager Li's agency.
Manager Li and the landlord were already there waiting for us when we got there.
The landlord's name was Chen Shanshui, a financial official, and there was a middle-aged man in his forties, who seemed to be very gentle and shrewd. Mr. Chan gave me a copy of his business card, and his job title on the business card was the Director of the Finance Office of the Financial Secretary.
After Manager Li and Director Chen checked my documents and passport, Director Chen checked the title deed and real estate certificate of the villa for me and Qiao Yan, and the land certificate showed that the land for this house belonged to the 150-year land grant in the New Territories, which means that after 150 years, the land grant fee should be paid to the land management department of the authorities, and the house and land have been used for 8 years.
After everyone verified, Manager Li instructed me and Director Chen to sign the "House Sale and Purchase Contract", and after the contract was signed, Director Chen paid Manager Li a $2,000 intermediary fee, and Manager Li returned the $2,000 deposit to me.
Then, Manager Li drove me and Qiao Yan to follow Director Chen's car to the nearby real estate trading center to pay the house payment and handle the transfer.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, we arrived at the real estate trading center, in the real estate trading center under the guidance of Manager Li, we submitted the contract and documents at the license window, and after the window reviewed the contract and documents, I paid 80,000 US dollars for the purchase of the house. Director Chen paid a few thousand dollars in deed tax to the window.
After that, Director Chen got the license exposure and refunded him the purchase price and deed tax of 80,000 US dollars, and I got the new title deed, real estate certificate and house purchase ** and other real estate certificates for this villa, which fell on Mai Zilong, By
o
.ma
Byron. In the name of Mai!
Director Chen handed me a full set of keys to the house, management fees, electricity, water, gas bills and other payment certificates, and he said, we need to call and report the installation by ourselves.
After handling the matter, Qiao Yan and I said goodbye to Manager Li and Director Chen in the trading hall and broke up.
After I packed the contract, documents, and the real estate deeds I had just gotten, such as the title deed, the real estate certificate, and the purchase of the house, we left the trading hall with the cash box and took a taxi to Charlie Zhang's law firm.
At 10:30 a.m., we arrived at Charlie Chang's office.
Charlie Zhang has prepared a complete set of registered company documents, including the "Registration Form of the Company's Shareholders", "Articles of Association of the Board of Directors of the Company", "Application Form for the Company's Business License", etc.
Under Charlie Zhang's guidance, Qiao Yan and I filled out, signed and drew on these forms!
The name of our Gangcheng company is: Gangcheng Jinding Industrial Development Co., Ltd., and its business scope is import and export trade and industrial projects.
The company's shares are: Mai Zilong holds 45% of the shares; Song Haijin holds 30% of the shares; Qiao Yanfei holds 25% of the shares. Mai Zilong is the chairman and general manager. Song Jinhai was signed and drawn by me.
The company's headquarters office is located in the villa we just purchased.
After handling these things, we took all the registration documents and our belongings to the industrial and commercial department of the authorities to register the company with Charlie Zhang.
When we arrived at the company registration window of the industrial and commercial department, we submitted a full set of company registration documents, as well as the personal documents of our three shareholders.
Soon, after we paid a few hundred dollars in company registration and registration fees, we got three copies of the "Articles of Association of the Board of Directors" signed by the industrial and commercial department, three copies of the shareholder certificate, a set of original and one copy of the company's business license, a set of original and one copy of the tax registration certificate, and returned the personal documents of the three of us.
Charlie Zhang said, "Mr. Mai! I'm done! You can take these documents to engrave a full set of company seals and open a company bank account! So that your company can be operated! ”
I said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" ”
Charlie Zhang smiled and said, "You're welcome! This time, the lawyer's fee is paid by Master Long! You should thank him! Next time, if you look for me again, it's you! ”
Everyone laughed!
Charlie Chang drove away by himself!
Qiao Yan and I paid more than $200 at the engraving office of the industrial and commercial department, and we quickly got the company's official seal, as well as various business seals and other company seals.
After everything was done here, it was already noon, and Qiao Yan and I took the lockbox and briefcase to a nearby Chinese restaurant for lunch, and we were tired of eating Western food.
When we arrived at the restaurant, we ordered food in a quiet location in the lobby and chatted over tea.
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Lone Dragon! Open a corporate bank account! With this money deposited, we will have an easy time! ”
I said, "Yes! Let's go to a Swiss bank to open a corporate account, and we will also open a personal account! Otherwise, in the future, there will be no place to put money! ”
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "You think so far! Good! Let's do the personal account for the two of us first! In the future, Song Xiaobing will come to Hong Kong City and do it himself! ”
After lunch, we went to nearby UBS with a lockbox and briefcase.
When we arrived at UBS, a female manager named Gong Xueyan received us, who was in her twenties and looked very professional and capable.
After we explained our intention to her, she helped us verify and instructed us to fill out some relevant forms and stamp or draw on them.
Manager Gong instructed us to handle the company account at the window, set a password, and enter my fingerprints, we quickly got the company account, we deposited 9 million US dollars in the Jinding company account, and opened the telephone entrusted trading business, we got the telephone transaction password, and the instruction manual.
After handling the company account, Qiao Yan and I opened personal accounts with local ID cards, and deposited $200,000 in each of our personal accounts, and these accounts also opened telephone entrustment trading business.
After handling these accounts, we deposited and withdrew some cash at the counter, and after all the tests were passed, we packed up our passbooks, lockboxes and briefcases, bid farewell to Manager Gong, left UBS, and returned to the hotel where we lived.
Back in the hotel room, we sorted out the property certificate, company registration and business documents, company seal, bank passbook, etc. in the living room! I put these things in different document bags.
Then, clearing the cash, we spent $80,000 on the house; It took $1,000 to register the company; We spent $500 on accommodation, meals and cars, and $9.4 million in corporate and personal accounts, so we have $518,500 in cash left.
Qiao Yan smiled and said, "Alas! We're out of money! Got a bunch of scraps of paper back! O lone dragon! Tomorrow, when we go back, we have to hurry up and earn money! ”
I said, "Yes! Go back and register the company there immediately, and in the future, the Gangcheng company will deposit US dollars, and the Yangcheng company will deposit RMB! I don't have much cash at home! ”
