Chu slapped Fei Fei on the round ground behind him, "Accompany me to finish breakfast and send you to work at the newspaper, I have to go to the law firm to do business." Or, you walk to the newspaper office on your own. ”

Fei Fei shook her head hurriedly, she didn't want to be late for the first day of work at the newspaper.

If you arrive at the newspaper office at 10 or 11 o'clock, you will definitely be pointed at by the newspaper people.

At 8 o'clock, Chu Xiangqian drove Fei Fei and walked a few hundred meters to the outside of the newspaper office.

I wanted to put her down and leave, but the little girl was holding her arm and begging to go in with her.

Chu Xiangqian knew Fei Fei's thoughts, turned off the engine and got out of the car, and took her hand into the newspaper office.

At this time, when everyone saw the newspaper employees saying hello, they all knew that the boss's new secretary said that he was a secretary, but in fact he was the boss's woman.

Entering the chairman's office, Chu Xiangqian pinched Fei Fei's pretty face, and said with a smile, "Are you proud now?" ”

Fei Fei's face turned red, knowing that she had not hidden her man's thoughts.

Holding his arm and twisting around, he said, "I'm just a novice who has just gone to junior high school and doesn't know anything, if you don't support me, someone will definitely look down on me." ”

Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes, the woman who relied on men to take the position was the most despised by the middle and low levels.

But after thinking about it, Fei Fei is her own woman's business, maybe it has been spread all over the newspaper yesterday, and she should despise it, and she still despises it in her heart.

The female employees who should be envied, no matter how good Fei Fei does in the future, will still be envious, jealous and hateful.

"Okay, I don't necessarily have time at night, you make your own rickshaw and go back to The Peninsula Hotel."

The little girl who was treating Chu Xiangqian as her own man, her mouth pursed as soon as she heard this.

Fortunately, she was born poor in the end, and she knew that she would have to get used to Chu Xiangqian in the future, and she often would not accompany her.

I could only send Chu forward downstairs pitifully and watch him drive away.

——

Chu Xiangqian came to the lawyer's office, and Norton, Ward, and the lawyer they hired had already arrived.

It took a lot of time to finally get the security equipment company done, and Norton ordered 20,000 slingers as soon as he opened his mouth.

Chu Xiangqian instantly understood that this kid must have called Mountbatten last night, and after getting his grandfather's approval, he dared to order 20,000 sticks.

Chu Xiangqian originally planned to find a reason to test whether Norton had a problem with the production of stick throwing in the mainland.

Unexpectedly, this kid took the initiative to pull himself to the window, "Master, I called back to London last night and asked a few insiders, if England produces this kind of throwing stick, it costs 1 to 1.5 pounds."

If it's a practical special steel, it's more than £5.

Although the cost of ordinary steel on Hong Kong Island will be about 3% cheaper, the quality of steel cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, we can not only contact the north, wait for the price, and make sure that the quality is okay, but we can also find the company in Macau, and they will buy and sell to me.

In this way, there is no responsibility on our side at all. ”

Chu Xiangqian immediately frowned, and was thinking about whether someone wanted to harm him, but Norton said with a smile, "Master, in fact, you don't have to be so cautious.

The stick is said to be a weapon, but it can also be said to be a fitness equipment.

The people of the United States not only basically have no control over this aspect of things, but also cannot control it.

Besides, this is Hong Kong Island, and we've always done business with the north ourselves.

Yesterday I learned from a friend of the Chief Secretary for Administration that Hong Kong Island needs to import 8,000 live pigs, 600 live cattle and 100,000 live poultry every day.

There are also a large number of vegetables, grains, oils, and fresh fish, which also need to be obtained through imports.

We also want to get more and lower prices from the north.

If this can be promoted, then the little steel we import will be very small. ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, knowing that the British might have doubted his identity for a long time.

But it's also true, I came from the mainland, and after arriving on Hong Kong Island, it was a sika deer and a tiger that got in, no matter how good it is to hide it openly and secretly, but as long as it is inferred from the results.

Basically, you can be sure that you must have a connection with the mainland.

But that doesn't mean you're in danger.

There is also a huge rich man over there, not only can he do business between the red polar bear and the rice country at will, but even one of the top three airlines in the country is controlled by that person.

The total asset value once ranked among the top 10 in the world.

He even dared to invest tens of millions of dollars in Moscow to build a large ultra-luxury hotel and several import and export companies.

In the final analysis, there is also a communication channel between the rice and the red polar bear.

And some things that lack from each other also need to be bought and sold by individuals.

As for Hong Kong Island, there are quite a few Chinese who maintain good relations with the mainland and the British at the same time.

And it's just economic exchanges, the British themselves don't care much, after all, it's a capitalist society, and London politicians think about politics, but in the eyes of the people below, making money is the first thing.

During the Vietnam-Nan War, the British 100% wanted to see the people of the United States deflated.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have stayed on the sidelines and watched the excitement.

Chu Xiangqian himself knew that the British were relying on the fake tiger power of the United States on the one hand, and on the other hand, they were constantly fighting with the United States.

Even Chu Xiangqian knew that the overly strong rice country was not a good thing for Britain, a European-stirrer.

But the United States has no shortage of intentions to suppress the British.

Of course, in the eyes of the British and the Chinese, the biggest opponent now is the red polar bear, not the mainland.

But knowing the general trend of the future does not mean that Chu Xiangqian has to participate in those big things.

You can't change anything by yourself, so it's better to help the mainland to a limited extent according to your own plans and ideas.

Thinking of this, Chu shrugged his shoulders forward and said, "There are some things that we outsiders can't get involved in, and today is a good thing for both sides, and the ghost knows that tomorrow the relationship between the two sides will start to deteriorate again."

When the time comes, the first to have an accident will be us little people.

Rather than this, it is better to only make money, regardless of politics.

For the rest, let the people sitting in that position worry about it. ”

After hearing this, Norton couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and he also knew in his heart that his master was making a statement.

The ending is not bad, at least Norton knows that although the officials on Hong Kong Island will be dissatisfied with Chu Xiangqian's attitude, they will not deliberately target him.

A few years ago, Boss Huo, even the embargoed things, were shipped to the mainland one by one, although the British kept making trouble with Boss Huo, but they didn't do anything wrong.

Otherwise, it is not impossible to forcibly arrest people.

Of course, the British are also worried about the attitude of the mainland, and they are even more afraid that the mainland will make excuses and rush over with people.

So Chu Xiangqian really doesn't need to worry too much about this matter.

Norton nodded busily and said to Chu Xiangqian in a low voice, "Master, my grandfather told me that as long as it doesn't involve politics and does some business, the most you can do is check our company's accounts.

But the current situation on Hong Kong Island is that as long as there is money, many problems are not a problem. However, it is naturally best not to be caught. ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, patted Norton on the shoulder, and secretly said that a capitalist is really worthy of being a capitalist.

As long as it doesn't exceed their bottom line, making money is the first place, and they don't care about some problems at all.

Even some people still rely on this to make money.

"Rest assured, we only do the right thing, and we are also legitimate businessmen."

Norton smiled, but he didn't believe Chu Xiangqian's words very much.

But as long as he doesn't get into big trouble, it's really not a problem for him.

Then his eyes rolled, "Master, you said that the sweat and blood horse, how many days will it take to arrive?" ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, and Norton continued with a smile, "If I return to London with two sweat and blood, I believe that many people's eyes will only be on those two horses, and they will lose their curiosity about the business of throwing sticks."

And, when I give those two horses to Aunt Margaret, our business with the North will be under the attention and protection of MI5. ”

Chu Xiangqian understood as soon as he heard it, MI6 was external, and MI5 was internal.

When it comes to covering up royal secrets and scandals, MI5 is not generally active.

At the same time, even if it is MI6, for a long time in the future, the heads and brains will be people from noble backgrounds.

Chu Xiangqian suddenly felt in his heart that he should not avoid Margaret like a plague god, but should take the initiative to contact her.

One is that this woman is basically completely cut off, and the possibility of inheriting the throne.

But no matter how she says it, she is the king's own sister, her status is high enough, and she is capricious enough, and when she treats her affairs, whether it is the royal family or Downing Street, there is a sense of restraint.

"Give me 3 days, I will personally go back to the mainland and choose two of the best sweaty horses to send over."

Chu Xiangqian said so, but in fact, he was just thinking about leaving Hong Kong Island for two or three days and transporting grain to a small uninhabited island not far from the mainland.

Parting ways with Norton, Chu drove forward, letting the double-check if anyone was following him.

Fortunately, everything was still normal, and I drove to several gas stations and bought more than a dozen barrels of fuel.

Bought another used motorcycle and a bicycle.

Only then did he come all the way to Kwai Chung Wharf, collected the big Zhuang and red girls guarding the grain depot into the novice village, and threw two pheasants to them.

I was looking for a small island by renting a boat.

But on second thought, since Norton had hinted at it, the British were probably paying attention to themselves.

The food that he bought with the rice fish may be in the sight of the British.

In this case, it is better to be careful.

Hurriedly put the 2,910 bags of grain that had been collected into the warehouse of the novice village, and all the 100 catties of grain back into the grain warehouse at Kwai Chung Wharf.

Driving the car into the dock warehouse, Chu Xiangqian wore a hat and ordinary clothes.

I looked around the dock and quickly spent money to rent a small runabout.

At most, this type of boat can only sail inshore, so not only is no one asking, but it is also easy to rent.

After filling up the gas, Chu Xiangqian pretended to be fishing in the sea and left the port in a speedboat.

In just one afternoon, plus one night, the speedboat successfully arrived at Viet Nam Muang Market, 341 nautical miles away.

At 4 o'clock in the morning, before it was dark, Chu Xiangqian put away the speedboat and pretended to be a businessman from Hong Kong Island who came to Yue Nan to buy grain.

I thought that this trip would not go well, and there was even a high probability that it would be fruitless.

Unexpectedly, in the port, it was easy to find a grain merchant who was willing to sell grain.

Chu Xiangqian only inquired slightly, and this Chinese who knew Cantonese complained that business was not easy to do, and he often encountered such and such troubles.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't give up his family business, he planned to move his family to Hong Kong Island.

Chu Xiangqian understood as soon as he heard it, this guy was testing himself to see if he could help him gain a foothold on Hong Kong Island.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian didn't agree, but he didn't refuse either.

Anyway, there has been a shortage in the country for more than two years, and if you can really buy a lot of food from this person all the time, it will not be impossible to help him move to Hong Kong Island in a few years.

took out 15,000 pounds, that is, 240,000 Hong Kong dollars, and planned to buy at least 580,000 catties of grain in the hands of the other party, but I didn't expect that Yue Nan's side was worthy of being the main land of rice.

The price is much cheaper than on Hong Kong Island.

It's right to think about it a little, one is that the sea is not cheap, and the other is that although Yue Nan has been fighting, not only has the wind and rain been smooth in the past two years in the north, but the war has not yet reached this side.

Naturally, grain is much cheaper than that shipped to Hong Kong Island.

If he hadn't bought too much, it would be easy to be suspicious, Chu Xiangqian wanted to buy three or five thousand tons, instead of only buying 300 tons, that is, 600,000 catties.

However, Chu Xiangqian did not transport it directly, but rented a warehouse.

Then the big iron lock was locked, and the patrolled outside again and again at night to make sure that no one was watching, and then all 300 tons of grain were collected into the warehouse of the novice village.

And after this cooperation, I also wrote down the mailing address of the grain merchant who sold his grain.

The next time you send a telegram directly from Hong Kong Island, you will be able to buy food from him that will arrive on Hong Kong Island.

As for what he told Norton, if it takes 3 days to go back to the mainland to buy a horse, Chu Xiangqian doesn't care anymore.

On the contrary, it took five or six days to go back, and maybe Norton and Ward would be more at ease.

After all, the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will be to transport things to Hong Kong Island, and it also shows that Chu Xiangqian's relationship network is not as powerful as he imagined.

After sleeping enough, Chu Xiangqian waited for another day, and the never noticed that anyone was staring at the empty grain storage warehouse on the dock.

Only then did I feel relieved and drove a speedboat to Hong Kong Island overnight.

Fortunately, there are chickadees in the sky to guide the way, even if you are temporarily off the way, you only need to look at the compass that comes with the speedboat, let the fly west, and it will not be long before you can see the coastline of the mainland.

In this way, if he is still disoriented, Chu Xiangqian might as well jump directly into the sea.

When he arrived at the waters of Hong Kong Island, Chu Xiangqian did not go to Kwai Chung Wharf.

And continue to drive east, all the way to Clear Water Bay, and then north

It took more than three hours to enter Dapeng Bend, and it didn't take long to find an uninhabited island.

Chu Xiangqian did not take out all 300 tons, but put 150 tons, that is, 300,000 catties of grain, 20,000 catties of breadfruit, and 20,000 catties of dried fish on the island.

In this way, the big fish in the warehouse of the novice village are only 2,400 catties of fish caught in the past few days.

However, with 800 catties a day, Chu Xiangqian is not worried about his lack of big fish at all.

After thinking about it, he even left the 5,340 catties of chestnuts that had been saved on the island in bamboo baskets.

10 chestnut trees, 100 catties a day, 3,000 catties a month, not to mention eating by yourself, to meet the fire station next to the market, the sales of the upcoming market are enough.
