The weather today was very good. Hardy took Han Yizhen to Macau by boat. Victor was by his side, followed by a dozen bodyguards.
Located at the mouth of the Pearl River, Macau was originally a small fishing village. It was called Macau because of the word “Ao” in its name. In 1553, the Portuguese obtained the right to reside in Macau, and in 1887 it became a Portuguese colony.
The Japanese did not occupy Macau during World War II, so when Hardy and Han Yezhen played, they felt that it was more stable and peaceful than Hong Kong.
When they walked across the street, there were large and small gambling stalls on both sides of the street, and there were even many small gambling stalls outside. Hardy also saw several teenage children sitting on the ground surrounded by a piece of cloth. Playing dice, there are several copper coins on it.
Victor next to him said: "Boss, now the casino business here needs to obtain gambling cards approved by the Portuguese government. There is only one gambling card. The current Macau gambling king is called Fu Laorong and has been operating a casino for more than ten years."
"Now these casinos and gambling booths, no matter how big or small, are under Fu Laorong's control, and he has a share for every business."
Hardy nodded.
Although Macau’s current business is far less than Las Vegas, but here is a monopoly, and monopoly is the most profitable.
Moreover, as the only legal gambling area in Asia, it will become more and more valuable in the future.
"That Fu Laorong is also the biggest force in Macau. There are hundreds of people under his hand, and he also has a good relationship with the Governor of Macau." Victor continued.
As the only person with gambling cards, how could Fu Laorong not give the Governor crazy gifts? Even Hardy dare to say that a large part of these gambling proceeds may have gone into the pockets of the Portuguese.
Hardy is not interested in playing in the casino. The grade of the casino here, let alone the Hardy Grand Hotel, is incomparable to other Mafia casinos. It is just some old-age gambling stalls, which are smoky.
Hardy’s team is actually very eye-catching.
A group of more than a dozen foreigners, even in Macau, attracted a lot of people to come over.
They crossed the street and came to the archway of the St. Paul's Church, the most famous landmark in Macau.
After taking pictures here, Hardy and Han Yizhen came to the Matsu Temple. The Matsu Temple has a history of 500 years. The Matsu Temple existed when the Portuguese did not occupy it. Therefore, in the hearts of Macao people, the Matsu Temple is very sacred.
Therefore, there is also another name for "Ma Ge" in Macau.
Han Yezhen knelt down and burned incense to pray for blessings, folded her palms and closed her eyes and muttered a word, not knowing what she was praying for.
When she got up, she looked at Hardy and asked, "Are you going to worship?"
Hardy is white, and most whites believe in **** God. Han Yezhen has never asked Hardy’s beliefs. If Hardy believes in God, she might not worship Mazu.
"Worshiping gods have their own gods for blessing, so it's natural to worship them more, right?"
Hardy's words made Han Yezhen chuckle.
Helped Hardy to light incense on the ever-bright lamp. After receiving the incense, Hardy knelt on the futon firmly. He didn't know how other travellers were, but he believed in God anyway.
After kowtow, Hadi asked him to find a temple wish, donated 1,000 US dollars, and wrote the names of Hadi and Han Yezhen.
One thousand US dollars is not a small amount of money in this era, and the temple can't help but salute it.
After coming out of Mazu Pavilion, Hardy said to Victor: "Register a trading company here in Macau, buy a piece of land or buy a company."
"This trading company finds someone to name it so that others can't find it." Hardy said.
"Good boss," Victor responded quickly.
In the future, this company will mainly do business with the mainland, so Hardy did not let him belong to the Hardy Group. Someone in the province will find out this matter and use it to attack him.
As for the casinos in Macau, don’t worry, plan slowly in the future. When the industry here is mature, the racecourse is built, the foundation will be firmer, and it won’t be too late to build a casino.
As for the casino license,
At that time, you can find the Governor of Macau to clear up the relationship. It may not be impossible to issue another card. There will be 6 gambling cards in Macau casinos for later generations.
It really doesn't work.
Perhaps something unexpected will happen to the so-called Macau gambling king.
Who knows.
Hardy and others returned to Hong Kong after visiting Macau. As soon as they returned to the Victoria Peak Villa, the butler told Hardy that Li Chunshan called and hoped to come and visit.
"It's Uncle Chunshan." Han Yizhen said.
Hardy knew that Li Chunshan might want to do business, so he smiled and said, "It's better to ask him to have dinner, and it's easier to talk about things."
"Okay." Han Yezhen said with a smile.
Han Yezhen directly called Li Chunshan and invited him over for dinner. Li Chunshan said he would come soon.
Half an hour later, Li Chunshan arrived.
Han Yezhen went out to greet him. Li Chunshan's identity was placed there. He was the brother of Han Yezhen's father, who was also Han Yezhen's uncle.
"Uncle Li, you are here." Han Yizhen welcomed Li Chunshan into the house with a smile.
Li Chunshan smiled and nodded.
When he saw Hardy, Li Chunshan hurriedly greeted again: "Mr. Hardy interrupted."
"Don't bother, let's go to the study to talk, let Yejin cook some more dishes." Hardy said.
"Uncle Li, you two talk, I'll go to prepare the meal." Han Yezhen said with a smile.
Hardy and Li Chunshan came to the study, Hardy handed Li Chunshan a cigar, "This is a Cuban cigar, you can try it more authentically."
"Okay, I'll try." Li Chunshan took it with a smile.
After the two lighted the cigars, Li Chunshan said: "Mr. Hardy, I thought about the business I mentioned before, and I also asked the brothers in Bangli for their opinions. They came up with a few ideas."
"Oh, let's talk about it."
"I'm thinking about getting a few high-end nightclubs, bars, etc., will the business be good? We have a few properties in Lan Kwai Fong, and we will make the nightclubs even higher, so that we can entertain British people or Come to do business." Li Chunshan said.
Lan Kwai Fong.
Hearing this name, Hardy knew that this business was feasible.
"This proposal is okay, but since it is going to be done, it will be scaled up so that when people think of high-end entertainment venues, they will think of Portland Street as the business card of Hong Kong, and then business will be good."
"Central has a good location. It's better to buy more industries nearby and develop them together to form an entertainment industry cluster." Hardy said.
Li Chunshan sighed when he heard it.
Doing business with wealthy people like Hardy is really tired of those who have no money. People don't talk about the business of a bar and nightclub, but think of the industry group, entertainment business card, and the different positions when they think about it.
"Then this investment is not small?" Li Chunshan said.
"You discuss the specific investment with Victor. One million dollars is enough." Hardy said.
Li Chunshan: ...
You just open your mouth to millions of dollars, how can I play with you.
"There is another business, which was brought up by a small manager of mine. He said that he once went to Xisha to dig seaweed. He saw that there were battleships, tanks, and assault boats left by the Americans and Japanese in the battle on some islands. It should be a good business to dismantle things and sell scrap iron." Li Chunshan said again.
Hardy was taken aback for a moment.
He had just traveled across this world, fighting with the Japanese on the battlefield of an Asian island, and he had a fairly good understanding of the situation here.
During the war,
The Japanese were originally stationed on the island with a large number of weapons. When the US troops attacked, they used a large number of landing craft, and later many were abandoned on the beach.
There are also Japanese warehouses and barracks, which have a lot of materials. Americans simply don't like these things and just leave them there.
to be honest,
Hardy doesn't like these things, but for Hong Kong, it is indeed a lucrative job.
"How much is the scrap metal now? Was it profitable to dismantle in the past?" Hardy asked.
"I'm not very clear about this. The steward under me came up with it. If Mr. Hardy wants to know the details, I call him to come in?" Li Chunshan said.
"Oh? He is here too?"
"Yeah, I was afraid that Mr. Hardy asked him what he thought, so I called."
"Then tell him to come in."
Huo Qingdong has been sitting in the car. He didn't know whether the big American boss would be interested in the idea he had made. Although he promised to make money, he might not be worthy of the hard money based on his wealth.
Besides,
Americans are involved in this.
I wonder if the boss is willing to do this kind of business.
At this moment, a bodyguard came out and knocked on the door of the car. Huo Qingdong hurriedly got out of the car, "The boss said to call you in."
"calls me?"
Huo Qingdong was a little surprised.
"Yes, call you, come with me."
Huo Qingdong hurriedly followed, and finally walked through the living room to Hardy's study. Hardy looked at the young man in front of him, "What is your name?"
"Back to Mr. Hardy, my name is Huo Qingdong." Huo Qingdong quickly replied.
Hardy took a closer look at this person, and thought that this would not be the "Lord of the Land" of Hong Kong for later generations, right?
"You propose to go to the island to collect scrap iron?"
"Yes."
"Tell me your thoughts carefully." Hardy said.
Huo Qingdong felt that his opportunity had come, so he calmed his mind and said:
"I am responsible for running ships and transporting goods. I own a barge. I used to go to Xisha to dig seaweed, but I didn't make any money."
"In the past few years, when the U.S. attacked Japanese devils, a lot of supplies were left on the island. Later, the Japanese lost, but the Americans looked down on those things. Don’t leave if you lose them. Now there are still many battleship landing craft wrecks on the beach. I heard There are still many good things on the island."
"If you take down these scraps, you can definitely sell them for a lot of money, but the Americans are responsible for them. Boss, you have a freighter with the rice flag. Maybe the American patrol boats that collected scraps in the past would not care about it. "
After Huo Qingdong finished speaking, he looked at Hardy.
Hardy chuckled.
With his smile, both Li Chunshan and Huo Qingdong were a little confused.
"Did you know that I was fighting the Japanese on these islands. I have killed more than 30 Japanese soldiers. The last battle was the Sulphur Islands. I was shot through my chest by a bullet and finally retired. Home." Hardy said.
Li Chunshan and Huo Qingdong looked at Hardy with more respect. "It turns out that Mr. Hardy killed so many Japanese soldiers. I really admire him."
"As for the discarded materials you mentioned, there are indeed a lot of them. When we hit it down, we didn't care about the Japanese things at all. There are not only tanks and artillery on the island, but even Japanese airfields and fighter jets."
"As for what you said, you are afraid of being blocked by the U.S. military. Don’t worry about it. Have you forgotten that Hardy has been in the logistics material sales business? Our Hardy Group is the number one seller of logistics materials for the U.S. Army. The minister is my friend."
"The Hardy company sent people to the island to gather supplies. It can be said that it is the behavior of the logistics department. This can be boldly told to them."
"I only care about one thing right now. How much investment is needed to disassemble them from the island and how much is the final profit? Is this thing worth doing?" Hardy asked.
Huo Qingdong has already thought about these things.
Immediately said:
"Mr. Hardy, if we can have one or two freighters, like the free ship, we can recruit young men from Hong Kong and collect supplies on the island."
"I have calculated before that the price of scrap steel is about 30 US dollars per ton. I plan to recruit people in the market and bring them to the island to collect supplies. They are three to five Hong Kong dollars a day and are responsible for three meals. Now there are a lot of young people in Hong Kong. There must be a lot of people willing to do this job."
"As for selling goods, whether they are shipped back to Hong Kong and sold to steel companies, or they can be sold directly to the north, you don't have to worry about selling them."
"If a freewheeler with a full load of 7000 tons is calculated, one trip can sell for 200,000 U.S. dollars. The money for renting the freighter and the fuel for the freighter are the bulk. I estimate that the cost of a trip will cost 20,000 to 25,000 U.S. dollars, so the profit is 170,000 dollars or more."
After Huo Qingdong finished speaking, he looked at Hardy.
Hardy smiled and nodded.
This guy's head is really good at calculating. Whether it is in Hong Kong or inland, there is no need to worry about selling these scrap steel. Even Japan is still short of steel.
During this period, the domestic steel output was only a mere 500,000 to 600,000 tons, while the United States’s was 80 million tons, which is not even a fraction of others.
Now the country is also desperately eager for steel, or else they will not make a big smelting of steel ~ www.novelhall.com~ and take all the pots and pans at home to smelt scrap iron.
"Okay, I think this business is okay."
"But if this business is to be done legally, it must be done in the name of the U.S. Logistics Department. Let's do it. Hardy provides freighters and collects materials in the name of the Logistics Department. You do the specific work, and the final proceeds will give you 20%. What do you think? "
Li Chunshan did not dare to be greedy.
It’s pretty good that you can get 20% of the income just by getting out and organizing, so I immediately nodded and agreed.
Hardy looked at the young Huo Qingdong and said with a smile: "Let's stay for a while and eat together."
Huo Qingdong was somewhat flattered.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Hardy asked himself to stay and eat together.
