Qi Qingshan, who saw off John Zeng, did not stay, and directly knocked on Fang Lang's door.

"Boss, this is a letter from my hometown."

Fang Lang, who was sitting by the window of the hotel room, was smoking a cigar while flipping through the documents, looked up and nodded at Qi Qingshan, took the letter casually, looked at it carefully, and found that the letter was just in an ordinary envelope, and there was no secret means such as tamper-evident wax seals.

Fang Lang knew in his heart that there should be no secret content inside, so he directly opened the envelope and opened it to view, and asked casually:

"John Zeng has been here?"

"Yes, boss! I have already shared the information provided by Yao Mu with him, and he did not copy it, but just read it carefully. ”

Qi Qingshan saw that Fang Lang did not avoid him, so he did not leave, but continued to report.

"Huh...... It seems that this officer John Zeng is very confident in his memory! It doesn't matter, we just do what we want. ”

As he spoke, he unfolded the letter, and the signature of the letter was Lao Qiao, needless to say, it must be Mr. Qiao from Xiaoxinhua, Hong Kong City.

The content of the letter was very simple, sincerely thanking Fang Lang for the gift to the elders in the family, and saying that the gifts had been personally delivered to the elders.

The elders of the family liked it very much, and told him in a joking tone that the others were very envious of these gifts, but the elders were so stingy that they didn't even want to show them to others.

What is this about, Fang Lang can see at a glance, it is nothing more than the intelligence about the peninsula has been received, and the materials sent over have also been received, and this batch of materials has not been used at will, but in accordance with Fang Lang's requirements, it is exclusively for the peninsula contingency reserves.

This made Fang Lang breathe a long sigh of relief, although this letter seemed very ordinary, it was the main purpose of his voyage to Hong Kong City this time.

Now seeing the elders opposite, he likes the gifts sent by his junior very much, he is happy in his heart, as long as his hometown is really prepared in advance, then although his hometown is still very difficult, but the strength of the whole country, coupled with the materials transported by Fang Lang, will definitely greatly improve the difficult situation in his hometown in the early stage of the war on the peninsula.

At least, the soldiers will no longer be allowed to wear single clothes to the battlefield, just this change, Fang Lang feels that he has not come back in vain in his life.

However, it is somewhat strange that Fang Lang conveyed the words of the past on behalf of Hong Kong Governor Alexander Graham, but did not see a response, nor did he reply. In this regard, Fang Lang has nothing to say. After all, this is related to the foreign policy of his hometown, and it is not something that can be directly decided by the governor of Hong Kong or his words.

In the end, it depends on the attitude of the British government towards his hometown and the outcome of negotiations with the British government.

After reading the contents of the letter, Fang Lang couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.

Seeing this, although Qi Qingshan was curious about what the content of the letter was, it was not easy to explore, so he could only continue Fang Lang's words just now:

"Understood, boss! Speaking of fate, it is really amazing, I never imagined that the brave little policeman I met on Stanley Street at that time would be from my hometown. ”

Fang Lang replied with a smile while casually folding the letter and putting it in the envelope:

"Isn't that normal? The people who came from my hometown are not brave, do you expect those who have no faith and only know how to help the British colonists make money, will be brave? ”

Thinking about it carefully, Qi Qingshan was speechless, yes! The current port city is the territory of the British, and if the Chinese who eat here want to get ahead, in addition to following in the footsteps of the British, they must make money hard, what lofty ideals can they not achieve.

Even if there is such a person, the British government of Hong Kong will never allow him to grow up smoothly.

"Sure enough, the boss is sober-minded and hits the nail on the head."

Hearing this, Fang Lang waved his hand angrily and said:

"Go, go, go, you kid is starting to learn to pat on the back now."

After speaking, as if he remembered something, he threw the envelope in his hand on the table, raised his eyes to look out the window, looked at the military port opposite, and said with a deep look:

"Before I know it, we have entered the 50th year, and there is still a month to go until the Lunar New Year, if we don't leave for China, we will not be able to catch up with the Spring Festival, and the old man will lose his temper."

Hearing Fang Lang suddenly mention going home for the New Year, Qi Qingshan's eyes couldn't help but glance at the envelope that Fang Lang threw on the table, and understood that Fang Lang's purpose of coming to Hong Kong City this time should have been achieved.

"Yes! It's been so long since I've been out for so long, and everyone is starting to feel homesick! ”

Seeing Qi Qingshan's expression of emotion, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile slightly, picked up his cigar, took a puff hard, got up and patted Qi Qingshan's shoulder and said:

"Your kid is homesick is fake, and you think your daughter-in-law is real!"

Hearing this, Qi Qingshan touched the back of his head a little shyly, and smirked.

Seeing this, Fang Lang also smiled, wandering wanderers, there are a few homesick people! Not to mention that the Spring Festival is approaching. In this life, his home is not in the mainland, but in Brazil, he naturally wants to go home early to spend the Spring Festival with his parents.

"Don't worry! Things are almost busy, and I will wait for Mr. Harbour Governor to finalize the location of the museum. We'll be on our way back to Brazil. ”

When Qi Qingshan heard this, he was naturally very happy, but soon he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said:

"What about the elections in Brazil? If we rush back for the Spring Festival, will we be blocked by President Dutra? ”

Why Fang Lang organized this fleet visit, Qi Qingshan is still very clear, he also understands Fang Lang's political influence in Brazil now, he is really a little worried, when the time comes, the current president will come directly to the door and ask Fang Lang to support him.

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled slightly, waved his hand indifferently and said:

"The situation in the past two months should have made Mr. Dutra aware of the current situation. If he were a smart man, he wouldn't have run around without interest.

If he really came to him, I wouldn't have a vote for him! Don't forget, I'm a soldier, and a soldier can't get involved in politics. ”

Qi Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Fang Lang with some stunned. He understood what Fang Lang meant, if the other party didn't come to him, everyone would still be able to retain a last piece of decency.

If the other party is really uninteresting and must run over to fight to the death, then the last incense between everyone may also disappear.

To say that in the past, Qi Qingshan may still be a little afraid that this Mr. President will turn his face, and even if Fang Lang is really just a simple admiral, he may not dare to offend a Mr. President who has not yet stepped down, but Fang Lang's current identity is no longer a simple soldier.

The influence that their Fang family has in the Brazilian economic field has given Fang Lang the same decisive influence in the political arena. Even, the presidential candidate this time was chosen by Fang Lang, and of course he had the right to say no to the former president.

"I see! If this Mr. President is not interested, I will send him away, so that he will not affect the mood of the boss. ”

Hearing this, Fang Lang shook his head with a smile and said:

"Don't worry! Judging by the information coming from Brazil, President Dutra should have a clear understanding of the situation he faces.

Although he is not a good politician, he will still understand the most basic political rules, and if I leave at his critical time, he should understand my attitude.

I won't run over the boring ones without knowing it. ”

In this regard, Qi Qingshan had nothing to say, and said noncommittally:

"I hope so! Otherwise, he wouldn't blame me for not giving him face. ”

Seeing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile and patted Qi Qingshan's shoulder and said:

"Okay, you don't have to think about these things, let's hurry up and finish the affairs of the port city, so that we can go home in peace!

By the way, you can call the Governor's office later, make an appointment with me, and say that I want to visit Mr. Governor. ”

When Qi Qingshan heard this, he hurriedly stood up and saluted:

"Yes, boss!"

Looking at the back of Qi Qingshan turning to leave, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile. After the other party closed the door, Fang Lang came to the window of the hotel and stood still, looking at the scenery of the port city outside the window, his heart was full of emotion, and he didn't know that they had been in the port city for almost half a month.

The affairs of the port city have basically been arranged, although the construction plan of the private museum has not yet been decided, but the address has already been set in his heart.

During this time, the so-called investigation was actually more of a cover-up, casually visiting the current situation of the port city during this period. He even asked people to bring cameras to take pictures in various parts of the port city, striving to preserve the scene of this period in the port city.

The reason why I want to ask Mr. Governor to meet now is that I am going to inform the other party that if the other party wants to help bring it to the other side, he has already brought it. His trip to the port city is also coming to an end.

Soon, Qi Qingshan brought him news that Mr. Hong Kong Governor had agreed with him to meet him at the Governor's Palace tomorrow afternoon.

This reply was somewhat unexpected by Fang Lang, originally he thought that the other party would find a restaurant with him for dinner and receive him purely from the level of personal friendship, but he did not expect that the Governor of Hong Kong would arrange for him to go to the Governor's Palace for talks during working hours.

This is not a personal friendship, but a purely business-like affair.

There are two situations in this situation, one is that you have offended the other party, and the other party does not want to have personal contact with you; Another possibility is that the Governor has something to talk to him about, but as a visiting Brazilian naval officer, what business can the other party talk to him?

Could it be that the negotiations between the British government and the hometown are not going well, and the British want to organize exercises between the navies to add a little pressure to the other side.

But when Reinhardt met with him in the past few days, he never mentioned that the British Navy had plans to conduct exercises!

For a while, Fang Lang was also a little puzzled.

However, he soon thought of another possibility, could it be that he helped deliver it to his hometown, which had already played a role? If the negotiations between his hometown and the British go well, will this Mr. Hong Kong ask him to come to the Governor's Mansion for talks?

If, if so, what will he talk about?

Soon, Fang Lang thought of a possibility, and hurriedly said to Qi Qingshan:

"Immediately ask the president of the Hong Kong branch of Global J.P. Morgan Bank to meet with the Financial Secretary, and tell me that we need to hurry up and secure the address of the museum."

Qi Qingshan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't understand for a while, why Fang Lang suddenly made an appointment to meet the Financial Secretary, and not in his own name, is there anything unsightly about the location of this museum?

Perhaps in the minds of many people, the British government in Hong Kong belongs to a capitalist country, and the land system should be privately owned.

But in reality, this is not the case. As a colony of the British, the land in the port city belongs to the private property of the British royal family, and the land in the port city can only be leased to the outside world, not directly sold.

Originally, part of the land in the New Territories and Kowloon was leased by the British government in Hong Kong, and the British royal family had no ownership of the land here, but in order to confirm its rights, the British government in Hong Kong directly and unreasonably assigned most of the land in Kowloon and the New Territories to the British royal family.

Only a part of the peasants in the New Territories was more united, rallying against the banditry of the British government in Hong Kong, and finally retained their ownership of the land through hard struggle. This is also the reason why in the whole port city later, only the villagers in the New Territories owned the Ding Quan.

Needless to say, if you want to win the land here, you must deal with the Lands Department of the Hong Kong government, and the Lands Department of the British government in Hong Kong is a subordinate agency of the Financial Secretary.

Fang Lang, an outsider, has no direct relationship with the people of the Lands Department, and it is of course not convenient to apply for land directly from the other party.

Therefore, Fang Lang could only meet with the Financial Secretary directly through Global J.P. Morgan Bank, and then ask the Lands Department to approve the land through the Financial Secretary.

Although Qi Qingshan didn't understand why Fang Lang wanted to meet with the Financial Secretary, since the chief had ordered, of course he had to carry it out unconditionally, so he didn't ask too much and left directly.

That evening, when the President and Financial Secretary of the Global J.P. Morgan Bank Gangcheng Branch had dinner at the Peninsula Hotel's Gallin Building, they happened to meet Fang Lang, who had also come to dinner.

Seeing Fang Lang, of course, the president of the port city branch of Global JPMorgan Bank had to try his best to stammer.

"Huh! Boss, such a coincidence? You're eating here too? ”

Hearing someone call him, Fang Lang looked at his subordinate with a surprised face.

"Carioca, so coincidental? Are you here to entertain? ”

Carioca is an American banker hired by the Universal Group from the United States, and when he heard the greeting of the boss, he quickly got up, and enthusiastically stretched out his hand to the boss and said:

"Yes, boss, today I happened to have dinner with Mr. McCall, the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong City, and I didn't expect to meet you here."

Fang Lang also seemed very surprised to reach out and shake hands with Carioca, and looked at McCall Dao:

"Oh! Is this Mr. McCall, the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong City? Hello! Nice to meet you! I'm Fang Lang! ”

Hearing this, Financial Secretary McCall was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted again, and after a somewhat strange glance at the two of them, he tidied up his clothes, slowly got up and smiled at Fang Lang and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, General Fang! I've admired the name for a long time, and it's a pleasure to meet you! ”
