Chapter 9 100 tons of gold

It's really not appropriate to call Putuo Island, Shao Liwen thought about it, and said, "That's called Yingzhou?" Or Penglai? ”

Well, that's probably the only way to go.

Although the legendary fairy islands of Yingzhou and Penglai should be in the East China Sea. But as long as it's not called Putuo Mountain or something, Chang Wei can also accept it.

"Penglai."

So the island finally got its name. Penglai Island.

Chang Wei stretched out his hand and pressed into the void, and boom, a huge gossip platform broke through the ground and rose from the middle of the island. A stone tablet was erected in it, and three runes were written on it, which was the three characters of Penglai Island.

After all this, it was time to leave.

Leaving the strange tiger to guard the island, the gorilla is also a supernumerary. Immediately, Chang Wei took Shao Liwen with a bright light on her body, wrapped her in bright light, tore open the space, and stepped in.

Bringing people through the space, Chang Wei has been able to do it.

Shao Liwen curiously touched the light half a foot outside her body, only breathed once, flashed three times in front of her eyes, and then blinked, and appeared in a narrow alley.

She looked at the architectural style of the surrounding houses in surprise and blurted out, "Hong Kong Island?!" ”

Chang Wei smiled: "It's Hong Kong Island." ”

"And that's it?!"

From the South Pacific to Hong Kong Island, thousands of miles of sea, breathing is coming, Shao Liwen has more experience of her own man's power.

Walking on the streets of Hong Kong Island in 1977, Chang Wei couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The next ten or twenty years of this period were the most glorious period on Hong Kong Island. And Chang Wei's deepest memory is the movie on Hong Kong Island. There are also those screen beauties who have aged in their memories.

Stopping a taxi, an hour and a half later, Chang Wei met Shao Liwen's parents.

Chang Wei was not cramped. He's an old driver, and crampedness has nothing to do with him.

Shao Liwen's father is a tired and silent middle-aged man, who works in the shipyard all the year round, and fatigue is a norm. Shao Liwen's mother is a middle-aged woman who is in a hurry. Speak loudly, passionately, directly, and without any careful eyes.

It's a nice family.

Their house is their own, no more than those cage dwellers who live in kennels of a few square meters. Their house is quite spacious. The two-storey building adds up to at least 500 square meters.

Downstairs garment shop, upstairs living room.

Shao Liwen and her mother were pouring food in the kitchen, and outside here, Chang Wei was playing chess with her father.

"That's all I have to say."

Shao's father said: "I am always free, I play two games with people, and I have a good time... Checkmate! ”

Probably when he plays chess, he talks a little more.

When Chang Wei saw his general, he went back with his backhand: "I will also come to general an army." ”

When Shao's father saw it, he was stunned, and he quickly admitted defeat: "Awesome." ”

He added: "This dish is enjoyable." ”

Although he lost, the process was inseparable, and the killing was extremely intense.

When it comes to playing chess, Chang Wei thought about it and came up with 10,000 ways to win. But it's a technical job to make people happy when they lose.

"One more plate."

Set up the pieces and move on.

This time, playing chess, it's about something other than the chess game.

Shao's father said: "How did you and Wenwen meet?" ”

Chang Wei then made up a story - a story that had been discussed with Shao Liwen earlier.

met in college, got acquainted with a common hobby, and then, as an overseas Chinese, followed Shao Liwen back to Hong Kong Island and prepared to start a business.

Chang Wei talked eloquently, and his words were substantial, which made Shao's father feel that this person was capable, thoughtful, and down-to-earth, and couldn't help but be satisfied.

He asked, "If you want to start a business, where are you going to start?" ”

Chang Wei said: "I have done a detailed understanding. Hong Kong Island is either engaged in plastic flowers, real estate, or shipping, and the financial and entertainment industries are also very developed. Light industry, real estate, finance and other industries, just make money quickly, I don't like it. What I want to do is an industry that is truly strategic for the future. ”

"What is the strategic significance for the future?"

Shao Liwen came out of the kitchen with a bowl of vegetables: "Dad, it's time to clean up the table and eat." ”

The conversation was interrupted.

After a meal, Chang Wei said goodbye and left.

Shao Liwen just came home, so naturally she couldn't immediately follow Chang Wei around, she had to accompany her parents.

...

Leaving Shao's house, Chang Wei stopped a taxi: "Go to HSBC." ”

When he was planning to leave Penglai Island, Chang Wei thought about how to go next. Compared with the two eyes when he first arrived in Mill Town in the last time and space, in this time and space, Chang Wei has a certain clear understanding.

The gorillas on Penglai Island, in the depths of Chang Wei's memory, have a certain impression buried.

Since that light sent Chang Wei here, then this time and space is by no means as simple as a gorilla. Chang Wei therefore has a certain association.

It is not as short as before, and when he came to this time and space, Chang Wei only practiced on Penglai Island for eighteen years. It is estimated that there will be a long time ahead. There are certain times to wait.

So he felt that he could take advantage of this time to do something.

Hong Kong Island is a small place, really small. Chang Wei's thoughts moved, and all living beings were in his heart. How to start, how to proceed, Chang Wei is confident.

When I arrived at HSBC, I got off the bus and walked in. Ah San, who was guarding the door, didn't dare to stop him at all, and was intimidated by his magnificent bearing.

When he entered the door, Chang Wei's eyes fell on the lobby manager not far away. It's a foreign devil.

He hooked his hand, and the lobby manager immediately ran over, completely without the arrogance of foreign devils looking down on the Chinese.

"Where's your Taipan? Let him come to me. ”

Chang Wei said.

The lobby manager immediately invited Chang Wei to the VIP room, and after a while, a gentleman-looking foreign devil pushed the door in.

When this foreign devil saw Chang Wei, he was stunned at first, and then he was also intimidated by Chang Wei's bearing, and suddenly showed a bright smile: "Hello, I am Shen Bi, the senior class of HSBC." What is your honorable name? ”

It is spoken in Cantonese, and it is also written in crepe.

Chang Wei sat on the sofa and didn't get up, and said, "My surname is Chang, and my single name is Wei." ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Chang Wei." He said, "I don't know if there is anything important about Mr. Chang's visit to HSBC?" ”

"Of course." Chang Wei said: "I have a hundred tons of gold, does Fenghui have the appetite to eat it?" ”

"What?!" Shen Bi stood up in shock: "A hundred tons of gold?!" ”

I can't help but be surprised.

What is the concept of a hundred tons of gold?!

Since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, the international gold price has been bullish year after year, before the US government sold gold, the price down, but this year it has re-emerged, the recent international gold price of 195 US dollars / ounce, close to the highest peak in history.

One hundred tons of gold, more than three and a half million ounces, with a total value of about $700 million!

Seven billion dollars! What was the concept in 1977?! The Bahamas, which ranks 107th in terms of GDP in the world, has a GDP of just over $700 million that year. And the Celestial Empire, in this year's GDP, is only more than 140 billion US dollars.

That's a lot of money!
