124 The Golden Road at Sea
"Ahu, do you know who these big brothers are?
Do you know what they will do in the future?”
Zhou Wenqiang glanced at the little girl beside him and asked with a smile.
Ah Huo straightened his chest: "Don't think I don't know. I'm a child grown up in Kowloon City. I've seen more hits than this!
Brother Qiang, are you like a land dragon, and you also want to be the boss and the leader?"
Zhou Wenqiang shook his head secretly when he heard this. He was worthy of being a child from the city wall. He spoke in a social accent. Now he could fully understand why this little girl would have the courage to kill him.
"Ahu, they are all my people. You said I want to be the boss, but it's also wrong.
To be precise, they are from Beiwang Security Company, and I am the boss of Beiwang Company, do you understand?"
Ah Hu nodded: "I understand, you still want to be the boss and dominate the king."
"You are wrong again. I can be king, but I will never dominate.
Don't understand? Let me tell you, your brother's former boss, the Dragon of the Earth, the Ke Wanchang of the Evergreen Association, and the Gold of the Fushou Hall. They are the evil people who dominate the world.
They only think about themselves. For their own personal desires and desires, they desperately oppress the residents of Kowloon Village. They open tobacco shops, gambling shops, and do bad things. Ah Huo won't like this kind of person, right?
But kings and bastards are different. To be a "king", you have to be responsible and obliged. When being a king of a city, the first thing you need to consider is not yourself, but the residents of the Jiulong city. You have to consider whether their lives are good? Do children have any books to read? Can they eat enough for each meal? Will their house leak in rainy days?
When you can solve these problems for the residents of the city, you are the real "king", and this is the way to become king...
And these big brothers are the people who help Brother Qiang make life safer and more hopeful for the residents of the city.”
Ah Huo's small chest seemed to be hit hard by something, and he turned to look at Zhou Wenqiang: "My good friend Xiao Ming always wanted to study, but until he died of illness, his family had no money to let him go to school. It's really difficult for the children in our village to study.
My brother said that there are many church schools outside, and they do not receive tuition from poor families and can allow many children to study for free, but they will not accept children from the city...
Brother Qiang, are you lying to me! If you become the king of the city, will you really let many children go to school?”
Zhou Wenqiang looked at Ah Hu very seriously and reached out to her thin shoulders: "Yes, Brother Qiang will do it when he says it.
Do you know why? Because Brother Qiang is so selfish that he hopes to be the king of the stable city for a long time, so I have to do something so that all the residents of the city support me.
You understand, girl? There is no love for no reason in this world. If someone says he will give you benefits without asking for any reward, you must doubt whether he has ulterior motives. It is best to stay away from him.
Because although there are such good people, there are not many, and they are even almost extinct. At least nine out of ten are liars!
But if you are a good person like Brother Qiang who has some purpose, you can trust me with confidence, and I will not lie."
"But you killed a lot of people!
Don't think I don't know anything when I'm young!
It’s because of you that there will be a melee in the city and my brother will die. You are a murderer!”
Ah Hu's voice suddenly became sharp, like an angry chick, glaring at Zhou Wenqiang fiercely: "I won't believe you!"
"I finally understand. Because you decided that I was the murderer, I pretended to be sleepwalking last night and wanted to kill me?
Little girl, are you finally willing to admit it?”
Zhou Wenqiang suddenly laughed.
"Ah, Brother Qiang, what did you say? I sleepwalking again last night? I really don't know..."
Ah Huo opened his mouth wide and looked at Zhou Wenqiang in amazement. His voice suddenly became sweet and greasy: "Brother Qiang is the worst, he knows that he is scary.
They are actually joking with you, how could they not know that Brother Qiang is a good person? My brother was obviously killed by the people from Fushoutang, so it is not your business.
Yes, Brother Qiang, you said yesterday that you would let others go to school, but you can’t say it doesn’t count. I really want to go to school.”
This girl's ability to change the topic is really the best in the world.
"Love study is a good thing, Brother Qiang will help you find a good school.
In addition, I have also selected a martial arts teacher for you. Look, it is that aunt."
Zhou Wenqiang smiled and pointed at Gong Er who was standing in the distance. At this moment, Gong Er just ordered a temporary rest. He was looking up here. When he saw Ah Hu standing next to Zhou Wenqiang, his eyes lit up...
***
This girl, Ah Huo, is really not simple. Gong Er came over and took a few glances, touched her bones, and decided that she was a good material for martial arts. Moreover, this girl was beautiful. Gong Er liked her no matter how she looked at her, and at that time she said she wanted to take Ah Huo as a closed disciple.
Zhou Wenqiang was very surprised why Gong Er broke the rule that the Gong family's unique skills were no longer spread. The answer he received made him speechless. Gong Er smiled and said that the child was not yet adult, so it was not considered a unique skills to be passed on to outsiders...
Zhou Wenqiang was only respectful to this explanation, so he threw Ah Huo, who was crying, directly at the Hang Neck Ridge. From then on Sundays and evenings, Gong Er would teach Ah Huo, a closed disciple at home. And seeing Gong Er's eyes shining, he probably planned to train Ah Huo to become a master of national skills.
It is easy to get through Ah Huo’s school trip, so just leave this trouble to the Li family.
Lao Li is really smart. When it comes to doing business, he definitely has the sense of a hunting dog. After talking about Ah Hu, he mentioned Jiulong City Walled City "by the way".
Like Li Guanghe, Lao Li valued the special nature of the Kowloon City. In this era, it can be smuggled without being tracked down by the Hong Kong government. If this kind of money is not made, he is still called Li Jiacheng?
Lao Li and Zhou Wenqiang have the same view. Now that the economies of Southeast Asian countries have begun to recover from the post-war period, their purchasing power will become stronger and stronger, while the markets of various countries are in a depressed state. Therefore, for Hong Kong Island merchants, even if they do not smuggle, the Southeast Asian market will be full of gold!
Starting from Hong Kong Island and radiating to Southeast Asian countries, this is a real golden road on the sea!
Now Zhou Wenqiang holds the Kowloon City and directly uses smuggling to occupy the market. This is simply a dimensionality reduction blow to other merchants! Even his plastic flowers can be quickly distributed to markets in various countries in this way, and they can attack peers from Europe and the United States with low prices.
Lao Li showed the unique hunger of a businessman on the phone. He actually did it on purpose, so that Zhou Wenqiang could not leave such good things behind him.
Zhou Wenqiang originally wanted to use his uncle Zhuang'an's connections in Europe and the United States, but in fact he had already forgotten him. He smiled and said, "Okay, my family is here, good brothers, how can you not bring such a good thing with you?
Next week, I will meet Ma Rulong, the assistant director of the Hong Kong Island Water Police. After handling the sea affairs, our sea caravan can start construction.
You will help me contact the boat yard in Europe now. I want the best quality cargo ship, and the displacement does not need to be too large. It is enough to be able to cope with the wind and waves of the nearshore high seas. In terms of price, I want the best discount!
At the same time, cigarettes, red wine, radios, Swiss watches, bicycles in the European and American markets...you will start to contact me now, especially radios and bicycles. These two products will be popular in the next ten years. As long as they are cheap, you can get as much as you want!"
"A Qiang, I have conducted surveys on the markets of Hong Kong Island and even Southeast Asian countries. I know the products most needed by these countries very well. You can rest assured.
I will keep the price to the lowest level! After all, we hold the city and smuggle these goods in the past, and can quickly monopolize the Southeast Asian market!
We will be the biggest buyers by then, and they will not be allowed to lower the price.”
Who is Li Jiacheng? Zhou Wenqiang is really happy to have someone like this to help deal with such chores. He doesn't have to spend too much effort. As long as he gives a strategic policy, Li Jiacheng can make arrangements clearly.
"But Aqiang, how much money do you have?
It’s okay to say that the speedboat is too expensive.”
“How expensive?
I can raise about 500,000 yuan now, Hong Kong dollars.”
Zhou Wenqiang was stunned. The money he had in his hands plus the Li Family's "investment" should be able to raise about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars. He was an amateur in shipping. Just knowing that Hong Kong dollars are valuable these days, he really didn't know how much it would cost to buy a cargo ship.
"Five hundred thousand!"
Li Jiacheng on the other end of the phone was speechless for a long time, and after a while, he said, "Aqiang, I really admire your ability to make money. It's 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is amazing!
However, if you want to buy a cargo ship, the money is far from enough. As far as I know, a small and medium-sized cargo ship with a displacement of 3,000 tons costs at least US$200,000, which is nearly one million Hong Kong dollars."
“So expensive?”
Zhou Wenqiang was also stunned. He thought he was very rich, but now he seems to be a pauper.
"But there is no need to buy a boat by ourselves if we want to do sea transportation. My uncle and the charter king are friends. Now the charter king has several small merchant ships for renting out, and I am confident that the rental fee will be minimized.
In this way, Aqiang, you can use all your funds to purchase goods. It is not too late to consider purchasing your own cargo ship after several trips of sea transportation."
Li Jiacheng said: "Aqiang, this business will definitely make money! I will ask my uncle to be a security guard and invest it in the bank with a loan of 100,000 yuan in my personal name. This money should be able to buy five to six speedboats.
But Aqiang, what do you want to do when buying a speedboat? Although speedboats can sail near the coast, they can basically not carry much cargo except for carrying fuel."
Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "This is still a question. Of course, it is to install a few crooked handles to escort it. Even if you don't encounter pirates, you must be careful of the water police from those countries."
Zhou Wenqiang never had a good impression of Southeast Asian countries, and when he arrived at sea, he was no longer a law-abiding Zhou Sir.
“…”
Li Jiacheng was speechless.
Others smuggling are trying to plan their routes in order to avoid water police from Southeast Asian countries. If they are caught, the first thing they think about is to rely on money to clear the relationship. If it doesn’t work, they can only admit that they are unlucky. Zhou Wenqiang is fine. Are you ready to fight against the water police from various countries?
