After dinner was done, Han Yezhen came over and called everyone to eat. Li Chunshan was okay. After all, he had a relationship with Han Yezhen, and Huo Qingdong seemed rather restrained.
During dinner, Han Yezhen said a word or two to Li Chunshan from time to time. Hardy looked at Huo Qingdong, who was sitting in distress, and said to Li Chunshan: "I am very optimistic about this young man. I think he has some brains. I want to ask you for someone."
Li Chunshan was taken aback.
"Important, what does Mr. Hardy want him to do?"
Huo Qingdong was even more surprised. He didn't expect that Mr. Hardy would actually like him. Could it be because of his idea of collecting scrap iron?
"There is a trading company in Macau, and there is no suitable manpower. I think he is good, and I want him to be in charge of the business of the trading company in Macau." Hardy said.
Huo Qingdong is Li Chunshan’s newly promoted leader. It is mainly because of his good mind and wisdom. Now that Hardy is looking for someone to ask him, he is really not good at rejecting it. Look at Huo Qingdong: "Qingdong, Mr. Hardy can think of you. This is your luck. From now on you will leave the triad and go work with Mr. Hardy."
Huo Qingdong was taken aback.
He didn't expect such a big change in his life. He took a deep breath and stood up and bowed to Li Chunshan ninety degrees.
"I listen to Lord Li, thank you for your cultivation over the years, and I dare not forget the kindness."
Li Chunshan waved.
Huo Qingdong worshipped Li Chunshan in the first place, and now Li Chunshan offered to let him go out. It was not a betrayal, so Huo Qingdong would not have a bad reputation.
Huo Qingdong straightened up and looked at Hardy and said, "Mr. Hardy, thank you so much. Qingdong will do his best in doing things in the future."
Hardy smiled, "Sit down to eat, and tomorrow you will go to Victor. From now on you will be the manager of the trading company in Macau. By the way, you are also solely responsible for this island scrap iron business. "
"It's Mr. Hardy."
......
After dinner, Huo Qingdong and Li Chunshan left, and Han Yizhen delivered them to the door.
On the way back,
Li Chunshan patted Huo Qingdong on the shoulder, "Qingdong, your luck is coming, following Mr. Hardy in the future, it will be a big deal, and there will be business to take care of the triad in the future."
"Don't dare to forget the kindness of Lord Li." Huo Qingdong said.
Li Chunshan nodded, and didn't say much.
The next day.
Huo Qingdong found Victor, and Victor had received a call from Hardy, knowing that Huo Qingdong had become the manager of the Macau Trading Company, smiled and shook hands with him.
"From now on we will be colleagues."
Huo Qingdong hurriedly held it with both hands, "I dare not Mr. Victor, please take care of you in the future."
"I have dispatched two freighters from Global Shipping. You will be responsible for these two freighters in the future. As for the recruiting staff to go to sea and start work, then you can handle it yourself." Victor said.
Huo Qingdong thought for a while, "Mr. Victor, how can the seller give orders from now on?"
Victor shook his head, "You are responsible for this, and you can sell it wherever you think is suitable. Both ships have two sets of procedures, one set of American documents and one set of British documents. They are both legal. There is a British flag on board. And the American flag, which one do you think is appropriate to use."
"and this."
Victor said as he took out a letter of certification, all in English, "This is a document from the U.S. Ministry of National Defense. It is a certification document for our logistics business. You bring this. If the U.S. Navy stops you, Just show them this."
Huo Qingdong quickly accepted the document.
This thing is a life-saving talisman. With this, it is official work, which is reasonable and legal.
He now sighs in his heart that Hardy's boss is powerful.
Being able to do business with the U.S. military's logistics department is not a matter of minutes.
......
Victoria Pier in Hong Kong.
Two free ships stopped at the port.
The triad people set up sheds on the pier, and no less than two to three thousand people stood on the pier. They were all young and strong men.
Huo Qingdong asked the newspaper to post an advertisement last night.
Recruit dismantling workers to board the ship and follow them to the sea to dismantle materials on the island. The daily salary is 3 yuan and three meals are in charge.
Calculated at 3 yuan a day, there was 90 yuan in that month. Hong Kong police only made so much money, and office clerks could not make so much.
On weekdays, those dockers earn a hundred and eighty for a month of exhaustion, and they also take care of three meals.
In the past year or two, hundreds of thousands of young people have flooded into Hong Kong. Many people cannot find a job. Now that there is such a good job, many people come to the dock early in the morning.
Although there are a large number of people, there are triads who are responsible for maintaining order. The triads are in control of the wharf. No one dares to make trouble, and registration on board the ship is in order.
There are so many people here today, there is no need to use so many people. Each boat only has five hundred people, so we will pick up the young and strong demands, and we will have them all in a short time.
Those who weren't selected were very frustrated.
On the first day of today, Li Chunshan also attached great importance to it. He personally came over to see if the personnel were all available. Huo Qingdong bowed his hands to Li Chunshan, "Master Li, I will set off if the number is all right."
"Well, it's up to you to make money or not." He patted Huo Qingdong on the shoulder.
The big ship sailed out of Victoria Harbour. The first stop was Iwo Jima. This is where Hardy once fought. Iwo Jima is about 1,400 nautical miles away from Hong Kong. The two boats finally arrived after traveling for two days.
Before reaching the island, people saw several battleships lying in the bay. On the beach, there were broken landing crafts, tanks, small armored vehicles, tractors, and various scattered parts.
Huo Qingdong swallowed.
These are all money.
Iwo Jima has a simple port, just enough for boats to stop in. The migrant workers start to disembark, all with guys in their hands. Hammers, hammers, crowbars, poles, ropes are all dismantled household items. Wait for these people to disembark. , Huo Qingdong said loudly:
"Promise everyone's salary, one point will not be less, but everyone has to work hard. If someone is lazy, there will be no next time. Well, everyone starts to work. All the valuables of bronze and iron will be carried on board."
"Good~!"
Thousands of people set off together, pounced on the scrap copper and rotten iron.
These people all know that a good job is hard to find. They have been off for two days and have eaten white rice for two days. It is time to work hard. They all work hard.
Huo Qingdong let the husband disembark and prepare to light a fire here for cooking. A ship of 7,000 tons, although there are many people, it will take some time.
The meals are very simple,
The white rice tube is enough.
The other is a pot of stewed meat soup with steamed salted fish.
A bowl of rice, a spoonful of broth, and a piece of salted fish are already a good meal for these working men.
The migrant workers started the same job as the ants moving. They dismantled these rusty weapons, piled them together, and then someone came to take care of the ship.
"Japanese tanks, on the battlefield, the tanks of Little Japan suffered so much for us. Today I stand on the head of the tank and dismantle him. It's so happy."
Speaking of it, he lifted the sledgehammer and smashed it down.
"Haha, the plane, the Japanese plane, is it more valuable to dismantle this? I will dismantle the plane today."
"Hey, there are a bunch of guns here, three-eight big cover, if there were such a gun on the battlefield back then, everyone would envy it."
"What is this~~~?"
Someone waded on the ground and rolled out a miserable white skull from the soil.
The man was so scared that he took a step back.
A middle-aged man in his forties next to him looked at the bones and said lightly: "What is a skull afraid of."
"Do you think this is American bones or Japanese bones?" the young man asked.
"It must be the Japanese. The Americans won. After the war, the corpses of American soldiers were condensed. Nobody cares about the bones of the Japanese. Look at it. We don’t know how to watch it on the island in the future. How many bones are there, they are all Japanese." The middle-aged man said.
The young man looked at the skull.
He lifted a sledgehammer and smashed it down hard.
"Fuck you~~!"
Slap~!
The skull was torn apart.
on the island,
They found a lot of good things,
Rifles, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns.
Cannons and mortars of various calibers.
There are also many shells and shells. These shells are made of copper and are more valuable than scrap iron. They are also more convenient to carry. Ten poles are strung together, and they are quickly delivered to the ship.
In fact, more than half of the materials on the island were left by the Americans. When the Americans attacked the island, the Americans had a wealth of money. If they were damaged, they would not discard them. Some were not damaged at all, just because they were troublesome to transport.
And now these things are all money in Huo Qingdong's eyes.
The migrant workers move things on the boat just like moving houses. Don't underestimate the power of the ants. The speed of working silently is also amazing.
These people worked very hard. No one dared to steal and slip for fear of losing this good opportunity to make money. It only took three days for one of the freighters to be full. Once the ship was full, it set sail immediately.
The migrant workers did not board the ship, but continued to dismantle and install the second ship.
There are rice and salted fish for dinner, and occasionally these guys can find some canned food left by the US military on the island, and it becomes their delicious meal.
There are tents for sleeping, the U.S. military tents sold by Hardy and the others.
There are quilts when it gets cold, and the US military uses quilts.
This condition is already very good for these migrant workers.
......
Huo Qingdong went to sea with the boat. This time, they were all on board. Their boat did not return to Hong Kong, but went directly northward to Tianjin.
At this time Tianjin has been liberated.
Before Huo Qingdong set off, he contacted the north side and asked them if they wanted to scrap steel, indicating that it was leftovers from the war on the island, and the north side expressed their willingness to ask for it.
Now there is nothing in the north.
These scrap irons removed from tanks and battleships are also good things in the eyes of the North.
In fact, from Iwo Jima to Tianjin, it is not farther than Hong Kong, and the distance is almost the same. After the cargo ship entered the port late at night, people were greeted in advance, and many people came to unload the cargo.
When unloading, I thought it was just scrap copper and rotten iron, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are many good things in these scrap iron.
Oh shit,
There are hundreds of rifles, mortar tubes, field artillery, and howitzers. Although they are not complete, some parts are still usable.
Copper cannon shells are even more of a good thing, and there is a severe shortage of copper in China.
This is a waste product, this is simply a treasure.
In the end, a ship full of more than 7,000 tons of scrap copper and rotten iron would cost US$220,000.
Pay the bill?
No money.
Then a few boxes of jewels, hundreds of baskets of dried sea cucumbers, abalone, shark fin, scallops, and hundreds of dans of various Chinese herbal medicines were carried on the ship.
There is also tea.
Huo Qingdong opened a basket of dried sea cucumbers, and the person in charge introduced: "This is an authentic Liaodong ginseng with good taste, rich nutrition and nourishing essence."
"And these teas are all famous Chinese teas, specially selected for the best."
The freighter only stayed here for one day and then set sail and returned. This time, he returned directly to Hong Kong and unloaded the cargo at Hardy's container terminal. These items were directly stored in the warehouse.
As for the boxes of jewels, they were transferred to Victor.
"Boss, there is a batch of things from the north. Would you like to come and see?" Victor called Hardy.
"What's all there?"
"There are a few hundred dans of Chinese medicine. I have asked the pharmaceutical factory to pick up the goods. There are also hundreds of baskets of dried sea cucumber, abalone, shark fin, and scallops. This can be sold in Hong Kong for money, and there are a lot of tea."
"Mainly bank acceptance drafts and gems."
Hearing that Hardy was interested, he soon came to the auction company. At this time, several appraisers were appraising the gems. After appraisal, they would give a price, and the money would be deducted from the arrears.
As for the price, it depends on Victor's conscience.
A batch of rubies, the largest one is more than 30 carats, and it has been polished. It is pigeon blood red. It belongs to the top of the rubies. This one alone is worth 30,000 US dollars.
A batch of sapphires, the largest sapphire actually has more than fifty carats, this gem is estimated at 80,000 US dollars.
There are also a lot of other smaller gems, Hardy said that they want fine, so these smallest ones also have a carat.
There are not many diamonds,
The most common ones are suet jade and jade, which are inseparable from the domestic jewelry market environment. Chinese people love jade more.
There are dozens of top-level suet jade, the largest one is the size of a suitcase, and there are many exquisite jadeites, including a glass imperial green bead necklace and a bracelet of the same quality, which Hardy likes the most.
It is said that Song Meiling is particularly fond of jade, she has a pair of jade king green twist bracelets ~ www.novelhall.com ~ worth 40,000 silver dollars.
Hardy thought these two pieces of jade jewelry were good, and planned to give them to Han Yezhen, "I have someone re-polished, and I will send them back."
"Good boss."
"There are also rubies and sapphires. Don't sell them after the price is determined. I will bring them back to the United States and let them be processed into jewelry." Hardy said.
He has many women,
Prepare more gifts in advance.
And it can’t be too simple,
Take Elizabeth Taylor, for example, when she was 18 years old, she had to give her a gift of sufficient weight.
Don't look at it for another year, in fact, time will pass in a flash.
