Chapter 94 [Smuggling Gold] 2200(2/2)
It is to help me with financing and transportation in Omen and Hong Kong. Of course, I have many people working with me on this matter."
After operating in Hong Kong for more than two years, he also has many trustworthy people, especially Li Gaofu, who has now gained rich experience in the smuggling trade. Now, it is time for him to repay his favor.
Lee Shau Kee nodded and said, "We understand! As long as the boss gives you any instructions, I will go through fire and water."
If it weren't for Lin Zhichao, Li Shauji felt that he would only earn ten thousand yuan if he could survive, but he could have a net worth of hundreds of thousands.
After that, Lin Zhichao temporarily stopped speculating in gold. This time his idea was to buy gold and then cash out at an appropriate opportunity.
After collecting the funds, Yangtze River Bank has 3.18 million Hong Kong dollars in cash, which does not include store funds and gold mortgaged in the Bank of East Asia. At the same time, Yangtze River Real Estate can also withdraw 500,000 Hong Kong dollars, because all the funds for the real estate project have been collected, De
Fu Garden is also about to be delivered.
In this way, 3.68 million Hong Kong dollars can be spent to buy gold this time.
In the evening, Lin Zhichao sat in the back seat of the car and looked through the window at the streets on both sides, which were filled with a large number of people, including many refugees. Hong Kong's population has surged from 600,000 to 1.8 million after the war.
The pressure can be imagined.
Lin Zhichao invented stratification and installment sales. In less than two years, thousands of floors have come to the market, which can be regarded as a small change in the real estate market.
Of course, what he changed was the living situation of the rich. After all, in this era, those who can afford to buy a floor are themselves rich, and the working-class people have no ability at all.
Last year, media reported that for a building with more than 1,000 square feet in Mid-Levels, the top-up fee was as high as 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the monthly rent was 450 Hong Kong dollars. Lin Zhichao knew that the landlord was not as arrogant as in his previous life.
After all, the top hand fee in Mid-Levels District in the previous life was HK$20,000.
It's hard to describe Hong Kong in this era. Although it is "hopeful", it is inevitably too shabby.
The car arrived at a high-end restaurant in Wan Chai. Xue Junshan, who was in the front row, quickly got out of the car, looked around, and then opened the door for Lin Zhichao.
The two walked into the restaurant, leaving the driver to park the car.
Currently, Lin Zhichao brings a driver and bodyguard Xue Junshan when he leaves home; this is not an exaggeration, but it still provides a certain level of safety.
When we arrived at a private room, the person inside was none other than Li Gaofu.
"Zhichao"
"Brother Gao Fu"
The way the two get along has finally returned to normal, which proves that Li Gaofu has risen.
At this time, Fu Hexing had already made three trips on the Hong Kong-Weihaiwei-Japan trade route. According to Li Gaofu, he had made a total of 460,000 Hong Kong dollars.
On average, I earn more than 150,000 Hong Kong dollars per trip. Assuming that it runs in July and August, I should still be able to make three or four trips.
Li Gaofu had just finished his business a few days ago and repaid Lin Zhichao's loan of 100,000 yuan when he returned home.
After ordering the meal, Lin Zhichao asked: "When will I run the boat again?"
Li Gaofu immediately said: "I'm afraid I don't have to run the boat myself! Two of the partners will each make a trip, and then we can arrange for the associates to go with the boat."
Lin Zhichao nodded. This arrangement is very reasonable. Each of the four partners will run twice. Since the first three times are in pairs, there will be a total of five runs. After five times, they will be handed over to the trusted old partner, which is enough to ensure smooth operation.
, and there is no need to take risks anymore.
In fact, this route is not very risky, at least there are no mines deployed in the Taiwan Strait.
"I have something here and I want to ask your help!" Lin Zhichao said seriously.
Li Gaofu immediately said: "You tell me, I must have no problem!"
He had already thought about it in his mind that it was a risky thing, but now that he had received the money, he was able to settle down his family well, so what if it was risky, it was important to be able to repay the favor.
Lin Zhichao nodded. He knew Li Gaofu's attitude, so he then said: "I would like to ask you to run the smuggling route from Omen to Hong Kong for me and escort many batches of valuable things for me."
In this era, the gold smuggled in Hong Kong from Omen all used speedboats with a speed of 40 knots, or at least 30 knots, and were equipped with arms. In this way, even if you accidentally encounter military police and pirates, the chance of loss is very small.
Of course, if the general military and police encounter them, it is best to throw money away. They want to make a fortune, and will not fight against a smuggling ship armed with guns.
Li Gaofu said: "This route is not difficult. I have access to the pier and there is no problem in opening this route. I just don't know if you are in a hurry. If possible, I will make preparations first."
Lin Zhichao said with satisfaction: "We're not in a hurry, I haven't even bought the goods here yet. It will probably be shipped ten to eight times, and there may be more in the future. In order to ensure greater safety, I will also hand over Xue Junshan to you.
You can call one of our own people (relatives). Also, I’ll go to the Bank of East Asia first and ask if they have any introduction to smuggling ships.”
The Bank of East Asia is also speculating on gold, but its actions are not big. With Jian Dongpu's high status in the world, he may still be able to help Lin Zhichao.
At this time, Li Gaofu knew that the smuggled goods were most likely gold. After all, it was impossible for his cousin to smuggle anything else.
And his Yangtze River Bank is really speculating on gold.
"Okay! We can practice it a few times then."
"Okay, I will arrange people to handle you in Macau and Hong Kong, so it doesn't count as a drill. Just try it in small batches first."
In fact, there is not much risk in smuggling gold from Austria to Hong Kong as long as you are well prepared. Since the plane was hijacked and crashed last year, gold has started to be transported by sea. If you really step on shit and encounter the Big Sky,
It is also necessary to exchange fire. If you can't defeat it, you will lose the goods.
After dinner, Lin Zhichao took a car back to Lantian Yayuan. Seeing the dedicated look of the security guard at the door, Lin Zhichao couldn't help but smile.
Uncle Qin in his previous life is now a young man who can fight.
Lantian Yayuan has a total of eight security guards who patrol the community 24 hours a day. Security is very high in this era. And these eight security guards are not from the same province. This is to prevent the formation of gangs and plots to steal the property of the owners.
Lin Zhichao's car passed smoothly, but it was impossible for these security guards to check carefully, which would easily arouse the resentment of the owners. They relied more on experience to judge whether strangers broke into the community, giving people a deterrent effect.
