On the last day of 1946, Lin Zhichao finished his work at the 'New Star Newsstand' and went to Beacon Hill at the northern tip of Kowloon the next day to explore the terrain here.

He didn't come to be a robber, although he was in good health, and he didn't come here to build a wooden house, but to make a fortune.

In his previous life, Lin Zhichao had seen a piece of information about Hong Kong, which probably meant that in late January 1947, the Philippine Airlines 'Airmaster' transported gold worth 15 million US dollars, but it crashed into the top of Beacon Mountain, all the gold was lost, and no one survived the crew.

There is also a saying that the police and firefighters in Xiangjiang sealed off Beacon Hill, and then when they went down the mountain, it was not very convenient to walk, and only seventy or eighty percent of the gold was recovered, and it is said that these policemen made a fortune because of it; A few days after the closure of the mountain, the Hong Kong government allowed people to go up the mountain in search of gold, and it is said that someone else has made a fortune.

The authenticity of these 'fortune' information is unknown, but in any case, the plane crash is real, so this information is Lin Zhichao's biggest opportunity.

As the saying goes, the 'first pot of gold' is the most difficult, Lin Zhichao has no background backing, and it is very difficult to develop quickly. Moreover, in this era of chaos in black and white, there are too many variables and difficulties in slowly developing.

And 'time' is the last thing he wants to wait, after all, how many opportunities will be lost for a traverser to spend five years earning the 'first pot of gold'.

In his previous life, Li Chaoren had a start-up capital of 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in 1950, which was impossible for him to earn by working, and it was said that it was the support of relatives and his future mother-in-law. Even so, he almost collapsed in the mid-fifties (poor quality was massively returned, banks froze loans).

Therefore, if you want to succeed, you must have strong capital or a deep background; Otherwise, it will take many years to get up after one failure.

Or there is a big opportunity to make a fortune quickly and become a generation of heroes, such as Liao Baoshan, Chen Weinan and others.

.......

'Beacon Hill' is located at the northern tip of the Kowloon Peninsula, close to the later Shek Kip Mei wooden house area, and on the east side is Lion Rock.

Lin Zhichao needs to be familiar with the route of the entire Beacon Hill, as well as calculate the approximate time when the police and fire will arrive.

As for ordinary people, there must have been no police who arrived first, because there was still a certain distance between Shek Kip Mei and Beacon Hill; What's more, ordinary people don't know that a plane has fallen, and even if there is a noise, they don't dare to attack.

In the event of a plane crash, Kai Tak Airport may get the news as soon as possible, then determine the location of the radar disappearance, and finally notify the police and firefighters. The whole reaction time is probably more than 30 minutes. And the nearest police station, fire department, the time to reach the top of the mountain, it is expected that it will also take a certain amount of time, the important thing is that they need to search for time.

On the whole, Lin Zhichao had about 1 hour, of course, he didn't know the specific direction of the plane, but it was said to be the top of the mountain.

And if he keeps his eyes on the sky as much as possible during the day in late January, then he can save a lot of time searching.

$15 million in gold, about 10 tons of gold, if the plane crashes, this gold is likely to fall all over the ground near the 'crash'.

Lin Zhichao is not greedy, and plans to take 100kg of gold is enough, after all, greed may cause him to be discovered and difficult to get out.

100kg of gold he scored two transfers, he needed to find 2 places to bury the gold in advance, the first time he took about 50kg of gold to hide the nearest location; The second time, he took about 50kg of gold, hid 20kg of it in the second location, and finally returned to Hong Kong Island with only the remaining 30kg of gold.

Lin Zhichao had already begun to plan these plans, but now he still had to conduct an on-site investigation and prepare in advance.

He first came to Shek Kip Mei, not far from the foot of Beacon Hill, to carry out surrounding activities as he planned to build a wooden house here.

With the outbreak of the war in the mainland, many refugees went to Shek Kip Mei to build wooden houses; After a catastrophic fire, more than 50,000 people were homeless overnight, and the British government decided to build a 7-storey H-shaped building in the disaster area of Shek Kip Mei in order to resettle the victims, and by the end of 1954, 8 H-shaped buildings were finally completed, becoming the first generation of public housing estates.

Through the activities in the surrounding area, Lin Zhichao's identity is not vigilant by others, as for the safety problems caused by the refugees, Lin Zhichao did not take it to heart. Moreover, there is no organized group of refugees at present.

......

After the 20th day, Lin Zhichao confidently came to a place near the top of Beacon Mountain, and after 19 days of exploring the terrain, he was very confident.

In order to avoid encountering the police and firefighters, he decided to get the gold and go down to the Lion Rock next to it.

The mountains in Hong Kong are not very high (about 500 meters above sea level), so there is no need to worry about getting lost or exhausted, so he is confident enough, provided that the plane does fall. He prepared dry food and canned food for ten days, bought watches, flashlights, winter clothes, etc., disguised himself as a 'refugee' and avoided contact with people as much as possible.

He camped in secluded places at night for rest, and during the day he went out into the open to watch the sky.

1 day, 2 days, 3 days, 4 days, 5 days.....

Lin Zhichao scolded his mother on Beacon Hill because he found it too cold, and the weather was bad recently, with occasional rain.

Xiangjiang belongs to the south, and the winter is simply cold to the bone, although it is very short to end the cold wave. Fortunately, he was well prepared and in good physical condition, otherwise he would have fallen ill.

At the same time, he also understands a truth, this plane crash may be the cause of bad weather.

Day 6 (25th).

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Lin Zhichao stood in the open space, looking at the sky, sometimes taking a break, but he didn't dare to rest for too long.

At this time, the weather was not good, and a lot of fog filled the sky over the Xiangjiang River, but the more this happened, Lin Zhiyue thought that there might be a crash.

Suddenly, he saw something fall rapidly, and then heard an explosion.

"Thank goodness I didn't up!"

Lin Zhichao scolded with a smile, and then quickly rushed to a short distance.

According to his rough estimates, the explosion was less than 1 kilometer away from him, which was a good location.

In less than five minutes, Lin Zhichao saw the scene of the plane crash and sporadic sparks, and he hurriedly greeted him happily.

Before he reached the central wreckage point, Lin Zhichao saw gold scattered all over the place, as well as corpses.

"Don't be afraid, only the poor are afraid! What are dead people afraid of! ”

Lin Zhichao cheered himself up, and hurriedly picked up the gold bars on the ground, feeling a little warm with gloves.

"2.5 kg in weight"

After entering, Lin Zhichao shouted excitedly, and then calmly said to himself:

"I only need 50 dollars! I'm a rich man in the future, just a minus start-up capital, not greedy (actually already greedy)! ”

Next to a corpse, there were many gold bars, Lin Zhichao held back his fear, picked them up, and put them in his backpack.

"Give today, give back to the society in the future!"

Lin Zhichao was already a mixture of excitement and fear, and his mouth kept chattering.

"Enough, don't be greedy!"

After picking up 25 pieces of gold, it weighed 62.5kg, but under Lin Zhichao's high intensity and excitement, he didn't feel very heavy. He began to make his way towards the first treasure spot, about ten minutes away.

There were no markings around the treasure spot, because Lin Zhichao was worried that the treasure hunters would find it, and the location was quite hidden.

Returning to the plane again, this time Lin Zhichao was much calmer, and after getting 25 pieces of gold, he began to retreat in an orderly manner. It is not directly down the mountain, but by the Lion Rock next to it.

The second treasure spot, about 20 minutes away from the plane crash site of Beacon Hill, has reached the Lion Rock section. Lin Zhichao put 10 pieces of gold in it and buried it, almost to the extent that it was impossible to see, and then he continued to hurry with confidence.

At this time, he still had 15 pieces of gold on his body, weighing about 37.5kg, which could not cause him much difficulty, although a lot of strength was consumed in front, but Lin Zhichao had already stimulated his potential.

"It's a lot easier!"

Lin Zhichao did not suffer from gains and losses, even if he only had a batch of gold to survive, he could quickly become a tycoon.

Even if the entire $15 million in gold is worth ten years, he will not care about it.

"Back to the city!"

Lin Zhichao said lightly.

At this time, he still has 15 pieces of gold in his hand, I don't know if it's 37.5KG, anyway, it's about the same. The gold in Hong Kong is currently about 280 Hong Kong dollars a tael (37.5g is a tael, 16 taels is a catty of 600g), so the value of the gold on his body is about 280,000.

Of course, he is not so stupid, and the marks on the gold bars also need to be dealt with, although it will be rumored later that someone went up the mountain to hunt for treasure and made a fortune, and it is also legal income.

At the same time, the price of gold in Hong Kong will continue to rise later, so Lin Zhichao has at least a fortune of 960,000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, these huge wealth needs to be washed a little, otherwise future generations will speculate too much about Lin Zhichao's development path.

On the way back, Lin Zhichao stopped and stopped, after all, after the high-intensity physical exertion, he was already a little tired; Fortunately, it is already Lion Rock, and it has been separated from right and wrong.
