0142 [Brother Luo, please]
Du Yongxiao has been busy with the preparation of Times Square for the past few days, and rarely goes home for dinner.
The reason why I came back today, in addition to missing the food cooked by my mother Li Cuilian, the most important thing is that I want to see my younger brother Du Yongshun, and the reason is very simple, for Wan Chai Pier.
Now HSBC's first loan has come down quickly, and the construction of Times Square requires a lot of building materials, including stones, sand, cement, bricks and tiles, etc., which need to be transported from the New Territories and Kowloon.
The cost of transportation on land routes is relatively high, and the loading and unloading fees for truck transportation, fuel burning fees, tolls, and messy human feelings are a lot of money.
On the contrary, the cost of crossing the waterway from the wharf will be much lower, and the loading and unloading will be carried directly onto the ship, without so many stuck points in the middle, and there will be no need to pay too many harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
But the problem is that the Wan Chai Pier belongs to Hong Kong Island, and under the control of Inspector Lei Luo and the old Hong Kong association Hutchison, if the other party cuts off the transportation of the wharf, the construction of the Times Mine will be immediately stranded.
When tens of thousands of workers stop working, building materials pile up, and HSBC collects debts again, Du Yongxiao will fall into a place of no return.
Du Yongxiao has always been cautious in doing things, and now the newspaper has published that Hengchuang has teamed up with HSBC to create a new coordinate on Hong Kong Island, and countless jackals, tigers and leopards are waiting for Du Yongxiao to make a mistake and take a bite.
I don't know anything else, at least Cheung Kong is paying attention to his movements. Just like Boss Li said, engaging in real estate is not a child's play, there are many routines and many fatal points, so what Du Yongxiao has to do is to cut off all these possible crises.
Wan Chai Ferry Pier is one of them.
As a filial piety man, Du Yongshun has been working at Wan Chai Pier.
He loves what he does.
Even after Du Yongxiao developed, he was reluctant to leave the dock.
Du Yongxiao said several times that he wanted to help him find a comfortable and promising job, but Du Yongshun refused.
Although Du Yongshun has a problem in his brain, he also knows what he can and can't do.
At the wharf, he can carry five sacks in one go, and is respectfully known as "Wharf Li Yuanba".
He could eat the big pot of dishes provided by the dock and eat ten steamed buns in one go.
He could sit on the edge of the dock, kick his legs, and watch the seagulls hovering in the sky.
At that moment, he knew that he belonged to the dock and could not leave the dock.
If there is any change in the situation now, then those people at the dock respect him so much, no longer laugh at him behind his back, everyone says that he has a good brother who is a detective, and even the dock boss Killer Xiong is very polite to him, and invites him to eat barbecued pork rice from time to time.
Du Yongshun is very satisfied with the status quo, compared with his father Du Cannon's heart is higher than heaven and fate is thinner than paper, he seems much more practical and low-key.
As soon as Du Yongshun entered the house, he didn't care about washing up and started eating.
In order to win this "comrade-in-arms", Du Cannon put all the good meat in his bowl, and said, "Eat more, let your mother cook it again if you can't eat enough!"
Du Yongxiao sighed three bowls of rice in his stomach, his stomach was slightly full, Du Cannon was just about to win him over to help him speak, but Du Yongxiao said, "Ah Shun, go to the balcony, I have something to talk to you!"
"Okay, brother, wait for me!" Du Yongshun buried his head and pulled a big bowl of rice, and then followed Du Yongxiao upstairs.
Du Cannon was in a hurry behind, and he wanted to follow but was embarrassed to speak, at this time Bai Peony said, "Mr. Du, if you really need 100,000 yuan urgently, maybe I can help you."
"Ah, really?" Du Cannon was overjoyed, "How can you help me?"
"You also know that I run a casino, with a monthly turnover of more than two or three hundred thousand, I can help you provide funds first, and then pay me back when your factory is built and you have money." White Peony said it easily, but it was actually a rush. This money is to eat interest, but the casino is Du Yongxiao's, the wool is out of the sheep, and the white peony is not afraid of Du Yongxiao's accounting.
Du Cannon couldn't wait to jump up at the moment, he was so happy.
"Thank you, Miss Bai! You are really my Guanyin Bodhisattva, the reincarnation of parents! Come, I'll replace wine with tea, let's go!" Du Cannon picked up the tea and toasted to the white peony.
Li Cuilian saw and heard clearly, knowing that this time her husband was determined to start a business, and her son refused to help him have a reason for having a son, since Miss Bai was willing to make a move, she didn't say anything more, but in the end, she couldn't help but put a piece of fat meat into the bowl of Du's cannon: "Be a man, don't look at the master!" Eat a piece of meat first, remember to do things seriously, so that you can have a meal!"
"Ah Shun, you really don't want to come and help me?" Du Yongxiao stood on the balcony, blowing the wind, and said to Du Yongshun, a small guy, "I can help you arrange a very comfortable job in Nathan Road and Yau Tsim Wang, such as the security supervisor, just take someone to patrol every day!"
Du Yongshun took out a boiled egg and handed it to Du Yongxiao, "This is what I bought in Wan Chai, it's delicious, you can taste it!"
Du Yongxiao took it, didn't eat, and continued to ask, "What can you do at the dock?" In addition to carrying sacks, it's a bet with those coolies to break their wrists---
"Brother, do you dislike me and think that *** is a shame for you for this kind of work?"
"Uh, how could it be?" Du Yongxiao was insincere.
"Brother, if you don't dislike it, why don't you eat eggs? You used to love food." Du Yongshun said that he personally peeled the boiled egg and sent it to Du Yongxiao's mouth, "You taste it, is it the same taste as before?"
Du Yongxiao bit the boiled egg, took it in his mouth, chewed it, and said, "Well, the taste is still the same."
"It's different, brother!" Du Yongshun smiled, "The boiled eggs now must not be as delicious as before. In the past, we were poor and often starved, but at that time, whether it was boiled eggs or green vegetables and tofu, they were all treasures, and you were reluctant to eat them, so you kept them for me. Now that our family environment is better, I haven't eaten boiled eggs for a long time, it's not that I can't afford it, but it's not high-end, my mother often makes grouper, yellow stewed chicken, big fish and big meat---
"Brother!" Du Yongshun glanced at Du Yongxiao, "But I like to eat boiled eggs!"
Du Yongxiao looked at his younger brother's persistent eyes and stopped talking.
In the eyes of the fine guy Du Yongshun, the job at the Wan Chai Pier is the eternal hard-boiled egg in his heart---
You can fill your stomach and realize your own value.
Thinking of this, Du Yongxiao's heart suddenly brightened, and he reached out and patted Du Yongshun on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I promise you!" As I said, one day I will send you the whole Wan Chai Pier, and soon, I will make good on my promise!"
Beep beep!
Just as Du Yongxiao and Du Yongshun were chatting, a car horn suddenly sounded under the tenement building.
Du Yongxiao looked down, but saw a black car with a 999 license plate of the police force parked below, and Inspector Abalone Chen Xijiu had a cigarette in his mouth, and looked up and shouted at the tenement building: "Inspector Du, Brother Luo is invited!"
