Chapter 630: Secret Meeting 5
From here, it can be seen that Mrs. Qiao's assistant is indeed responsible for part of the intelligence work, otherwise, it would not be her to answer this question.
For Zeng John to be his own person, it was indeed very unexpected for Fang Lang, when this young man came in alone to negotiate with them, it had already attracted his attention, but he didn't expect the other party to have such an identity.
"I think it's better for you to revisit his work, like this kind of vigilance work, and it's better not to involve him in the future.
I think he should have reported to you that my British friend Reinhardt would indeed have recommended him to the Governor's security team. Being able to play such a chess piece by the side of the Governor will play a very important role in judging the situation of the port city in the future.
What's more, he will soon be promoted, and when he comes out of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, at least he will have the rank of inspector, which is very unique among the Chinese in the entire Hong Kong City.
With such a person nailed to the police force, we can use his power to quietly infiltrate the police force in the future, and you must not underestimate the Hong Kong City police. In this underworld place, the police can play a role beyond your imagination.
If one day you take control of the Chinese police in Hong Kong, congratulations! Whether the port city is chaotic or not, it is basically up to you to decide. ”
These words should not have been said by Fang Lang, but he still felt very incomprehensible about Gong Wei's behavior of pulling such an important person as a guard. Feeling that the other person is obviously not enough is always the importance of the other person's position.
Therefore, I couldn't help but remind each other for a while. This time, Gong Wei did not have any dissatisfaction or suspicion after hearing his words, but nodded with a smile on his face and said:
"Thanks to General Fang's reminder, Xiao Zeng is a very good comrade, which we have always been very aware of.
In fact, we have known about his encounter with you for a long time, and this time he was put in charge of the security work, so that he could be in charge of communication during your time in Port City.
At the same time, you don't want more people to know that there is a private connection between you and us.
So, rest assured! We're certainly not going to waste any kind of talent. ”
Fang Lang only reacted at this time, in terms of latent ability, the seniors in his hometown can be their own ancestors, how could they not understand the importance of John Zeng's position!
It seems that this time it is Meng Lang himself.
Touching his nose embarrassedly, Fang Lang nodded with a smile and said:
"No problem, it would be more convenient and discreet to have Officer Tsang come forward to contact me, after all, most people in the police force know how I met him.
There is absolutely no suspicion. Then I'll take my leave! ”
After saying that, he turned around and shook hands with the two again, then opened the door and walked out.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao stood by the window and watched Fang Lang go downstairs and walk through the backyard, and seemed to chat with John Zeng at the door of the backyard for a few more words, before returning to the tea restaurant next to him along the same road.
"Wei Wei, do you think what General Fang said will really happen?"
It wasn't until Fang Lang completely disappeared into the blind corner of his sight that Mr. Qiao couldn't help but ask his wife beside him.
"I don't know, at first I did have some doubts that the other party was sent by the Americans to deliberately sow discord between us and Big Brother.
But then I overturned this suspicion myself, because no one would provoke it like that. ”
Gong Wei looked out the window in the direction where Fang Lang disappeared, his eyes were deep.
Mr. Qiao did not turn his head to look at his wife, but also looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said as if he were talking to himself:
"Yes! No one would provoke such a stir, but if what the other side said was true, then the peaceful environment that we had managed to achieve with great difficulty would be broken again.
And this time the enemy will be even stronger! ”
Looking back at Mr. Qiao's faintly worried expression, Gong Wei thought about it, looked at the other party with a firm gaze and said:
"What are you afraid of, although we haven't directly fought with Lao Mei, but we have also fought with Chang Kaishen, who is armed with Yankees, for so many years. Chang Kaishen, who has an army of millions in his hands, has been defeated by us, and he is afraid of a group of American soldiers.
What's more, we still have enthusiastic overseas compatriots like General Fang, who have selflessly helped and supported us, and what reason do we have not to be strong and fight with them. ”
"Well, that's right! With the support of 40,000,000 people, and with the support and help of overseas compatriots like General Fang, we will certainly be able to defeat these paper tigers of US imperialism. ”
When Mr. Qiao heard his wife, all the women could express their attitudes impassionedly and confidently. He, a big man, naturally can't be left behind.
Although both have regained their self-confidence, they also understand the urgency and importance of this matter.
After Mr. Qiao groaned for a while, he looked up at the sky, raised his hand to look at his watch, turned to his wife and said:
"This information is so important, it's still early, let's not delay. I immediately set off for home and truthfully reported the situation here today to my superiors.
Try to give your superiors as much time as possible to verify the authenticity of the information and prepare for contingencies as soon as possible. ”
As an old soldier, Gong Wei is not a twisted person, so he nodded directly and said:
"Okay, without further ado, I'll go home now and pack a few changes of clothes for you, and you can leave as soon as possible."
After saying that, the two did not hesitate, and after quickly cleaning up the traces in the room, they changed their faces and quietly left the tenement building from other places.
What happened here did not attract the attention of the port city, and even the MI6 agents who followed Fang Lang and them thought that Fang Lang and they were just casually looking for a special tea restaurant for lunch as usual.
After leaving the tea restaurant, Fang Lang directly led the team to inspect the vicinity of Tsuen Wan Wharf, as an important trading port in East Asia, the importance of the wharf is of course undoubted.
It is an important part of the global shipping terminal of the Universal Group. It's a pity that most of the wharves in the port city are now under the control of British-funded foreign companies, and it will take a lot of effort for Fang Lang to get involved directly.
Looking at the wharf not far away, the ragged coolies, under the urging of a group of gangsters, kept carrying the goods on the cargo ship down the wharf by shoulder, Fang Lang couldn't help frowning.
It's not that he can't look down on the hard work of these coolies, but he is a little worried that if his container terminal is completed in the port city, these coolies may face unemployment.
This gave him a bit of a headache, most of these coolies were refugees who had fled, if by then, they didn't even have the opportunity to carry a big bag, Fang Lang was sure that there would be many people who were desperate and living on the streets.
Of course, these people are no different from living on the streets, most of them live in the slums of Shek Kip Mei, where the environment is harsh, there are many privately built wooden houses everywhere, fires are frequent, and there is a fire that shocked the whole of Hong Kong in history, leaving more than 50,000 people homeless.
But even so, they still have a job to support their families! Thinking that the implementation of his plan could lead to tens of thousands of unemployment, Fang Lang couldn't help but be a little worried.
However, he is not a person who has lost food because of choking, these refugees are still here, just to see that they are close to their hometown, if they really can't live, they will definitely find another way out.
After thinking about this, Fang Lang began to carefully look at this Tsuen Wan Wharf, which is the Kwai Tsing Wharf in later generations, the reason why he came here was of course not just to visit MI6.
Instead, it is really necessary to invest in the construction of a wharf in the port city, but the time is not now, but until the end of the peninsula war, because during the peninsula war, the port city was also affected and was twice included in the blockade by the Americans.
For a time, the freight industry in the port city came to a standstill, and this period was the best time for Fang Lang to buy the terminal from the British-funded foreign firm.
At this time, there were actually many large and small wharves in the port city, and the reason why Fang Lang came here was to see why this wharf successfully broke out of the encirclement and continued to stay.
Today, it looks like a good place, with a natural waterway where ships can be docked on both sides, which is completely different from other areas where only one side of the coast can be developed.
In addition, it is not a bustling commercial real estate area, suitable for large vehicles to load and unload goods here, and the price of land in Tsuen Wan is much lower than that of Wharf.
Since it is definitely a good place to develop a freight terminal, Fang Lang must of course find a way to take it.
The person in charge of the Gangcheng branch of the Global Terminal Company, who had been waiting here for a long time, had already come to Fang Lang's side after seeing Fang Lang's motorcade arrive.
"Boss, this is indeed a good place to develop a cargo terminal, but unfortunately it has been developed by two companies, Swire and Jardine Matheson.
I have reached out to them before, and they have rejected our request to purchase and do not agree to our joint development plan. ”
The person in charge is a blonde American, wearing a suit, meticulously combed hair, and gold-rimmed glasses, revealing a Wall Street elite style.
Fang Lang and the other party have met, a few days ago, the other party went to the Peninsula Hotel to visit him, and submitted him an analysis report of the port city wharf, which focused on the location in front of him, which shows that the other party is still very discerning.
"Really? Don't even agree to cooperative development? ”
Fang Lang looked at the busy dock in the distance without looking back.
"They mainly disagree with us becoming a majority shareholder, but they are very interested in the plan to develop this place into a container terminal."
Hearing this, the corners of Fang Lang's mouth showed a smile that was really like this. After thinking about it for a while, Fang Lang said directly:
"So be it! After you go back, make a new plan, our company with technology and patents, the other party with land and capital shares, in the next three years, to completely transform this place into the largest container terminal in the port city. ”
"Ahh It may be a little difficult, and now the situation in Port City is a bit tense and they are also waiting to see what happens. At this time, if they are asked to invest a lot of money in the construction of the dock, they may not agree. ”
The person in charge looked at Fang Langdao with some embarrassment.
Seeing this, Fang Lang was not angry, nodded with a smile and said:
"It takes time to make a plan, and we're not in a hurry. Soon they should be able to hear that the city will maintain the status quo. ”
As soon as this statement came out, the person in charge was obviously surprised, thinking of the rumors he heard a few days ago, the governor of Hong Kong seemed to have talked to his boss, so if he said it, the credibility of this news was very high.
However, there is no reason why British-funded consortia like Swire and Jardine Matheson can't receive news from Mr. Hong Kong Governor! Could it be that the boss has other channels of information?
It quickly dawned on him that these things were clearly not his concern.
"I see, boss! I'll make a new plan when I get back. ”
"Well, remember, this proposal is to put the Swire and Jardine terminals together, and lead to a partnership between the three companies to form a new container terminal management company.
The facilities and scale of the wharf should be built according to the best standards, and we can have a smaller share, but we must build it as the largest wharf in Asia. ”
Fang Lang seriously explained his expectations for this dock. But his words made the person in charge a little confused, and he didn't understand why Fang Lang was willing to take the smallest shares, but instead wanted to build this place into the largest terminal in Asia.
