Chapter 1327 Hong Kong Island Story (Third update, please subscribe)
Kai Tak Airport, Hong Kong Island.
A black BMW308 parked on the side of the road, with a shiny black body. After the car stopped, a young man in a suit got out of the car, and a driver followed him. After entering the airport waiting room, the driver held up a pick-up sign with the words "Song Guoqiang" written on it.
“I wonder what kind of person Manager Song is.”
Looking at the passengers walking out of the airport, Tang Zhijie thought in his heart.
As Boss Li's secretary, although he had long known that Boss Li would return to Nanyang Head Office sooner or later, he did not expect that it would come so suddenly.
Two days ago, Tang Zhijie learned from his boss that his boss would return to Nanyang. The company will send a new manager soon.
Everything was so sudden.
So, Tang Zhijie came to Kai Tak Airport today to prepare to pick up the new boss.
The plane landed at the airport after being delayed for more than half an hour due to weather conditions. Tang Zhijie looked towards the airport exit and motioned to the driver to hold the pick-up sign higher.
After batch after batch of passengers passed by, finally, a young man wearing a jacket and carrying a large army green backpack came out with sunglasses on his face. When he saw the pick-up sign behind Tang Zhijie, his face turned red. The sunglasses he wore were pushed upwards, and his grin revealed a row of neat teeth:
“You must be Tang Zhijie, right? I am Song Guoqiang sent by the head office.”
“Ah, Manager Song?”
Tang Zhijie’s impression of the head office’s business people is still that of serious people in suits and leather shoes. On the body, now that I see the person in front of me, I can't associate him with the business elite.
Song Guoqiang said with a smile:
"Don't believe me? Do you want me to check your passport?"
"No, no, Manager Song, are you kidding... The car is outside, Manager Song, should I take you to your home or to the company? ?”
Tang Zhijie was a little uncomfortable with the contrast in appearance and asked quickly:
“Can I sit down in the car?”
Song Guoqiang looked out. Explained:
"My wife and children are also here."
At this time, Tang Zhijie noticed that there was a hag behind the manager, and behind the hag followed six sizes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 There are children of different ages, all carrying their own backpacks, and even dragging suitcases that are taller than themselves.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I thought Manager Song came alone. I'll call a taxi right now. Ah Wang, you go call two taxis."
"Since you are coming We work here, so I came here as a family. It was my negligence that I forgot to inform you in advance."
Soon, the group left the airport.
Chen Dafu took a special look at the family at the airport gate. He had noticed before that they were also traveling in first class, and they might have business contacts in the future. After seeing someone from the family picking him up from the airport, he got into a taxi.
After the family got into two cars, Song Guoqiang got into the BMW. After getting in the car, Tang Zhijie and Song Guoqiang exchanged a few polite words. After all, they couldn't hide their thoughts and asked carefully: < br>
"Manager, are we going to the company now, or?"
Taking off his sunglasses and putting them in his pocket, Song Guoqiang said:
"Arrange the family first, and then I will go Meet Manager Li. He has been working here for more than ten years. I feel it is necessary to come and have a chat with him.”
That night, Song Guoqiang finally met Li Hongji in a private room of a teahouse. As soon as the two met, they smiled at each other.
“I thought we would have to wait another three years.”
Li Hongji said with a smile.
“Haha, three years and three years, Director Jia stayed in Japan for nine years.”
Three years and three years, and then another three years, this is a joke of the Secret Intelligence Service . Many overseas secret agents are promised "three years" at the beginning, but it is very common for three years to come and three years to come.
"However, when I came here, the director said that you are the one who has been lurking for the longest time. From the 1950s to now, it has been almost thirteen years."
Nodding, Li Hongji took a puff of his cigar. , said:
"Yes, from the beginning of doing business to now, I can't tell whether I am an agent or a businessman."
"I even did it. The top ten wealthy businessmen in Hong Kong!”
Shrugging his shoulders, Li Hongji said with a smile:
"I'm also surprised by this."
In fact, this is not surprising at all. After all, he has represented many supplies that ordinary people cannot have access to. Especially during the Peninsular War, the supplies in his hands were on the market. What was extremely scarce was that at that time, he was the only one in the entire Hong Kong Island who had those supplies.
It is precisely because of this "ability" that he easily established himself on Hong Kong Island and grew his business bigger and bigger.
However, after all, he is only a representative of the company, and he still has to return to Nanyang. After all, Nanyang is his home.
After that, he said:
"I don't know what you like to eat. I just ordered a few dishes based on my own taste."
Soon, the dishes arrived. After the waiter left, Li Hongji said:
< br>“I heard that you came here with your family.”
“Just a businessman,”
“Yes.”
Nodding, Li Hongji said:
"Indeed, we are just businessmen, but the business objects are different. You should know who we mainly do business with, right?"
" Tangshan."
"Yes, we export industrial products to Tangshan and import agricultural and sideline products and minerals from them." As he spoke, Li Hongji opened the wine on the table. While pouring the wine, he said:
“This is Moutai, which is very popular there. The alcohol content is very high and very strong. It is different from the rice wine and beer that we are used to in Nanyang. It is different from whiskey and brandy. It’s the same spirit, but with a higher alcohol content, so you have to taste it first.”
After taking a sip, Song Guoqiang suddenly felt a fire coming out of his throat and said:
“This wine is really strong!”
“Haha, I have been keeping this for a few years, and it has become a lot softer. You just need to get used to it. In the mall, you will inevitably have to drink.”
Then they talked not about business, but more about the mall. The means of dealing with them, and of course also introduce some of the clients’ personalities. After drinking for three rounds, Li Hongji looked around and said with emotion:
"Oh, I can't believe that after looking forward to it for so many years and wanting to leave here every day, when it comes time to leave, I'm still a little reluctant to leave."
After that, Li Hongji said:
"But , it’s okay to go back.”
Then he looked at Song Guoqiang in front of him, and Li Hongji said:
“I will introduce you to a few people in the past few days, some from Hong Kong Island and some from over there. , you should get to know each other first and get into the role as soon as possible.”
"Thank you."
On this day, Li Hongji got drunk for the first time.
A week later, Li Hongji came to the airport with his wife and children. Perhaps because he had lived here for so long, he had long regarded this place as his home. But his wife and children around him are full of expectations for Chang'an.
"We are going to Chang'an..."
Soon, the group entered the customs. When they took out their Nanyang dark blue passports, the customs officers looked at them specially At a glance, when unfolding the passport, he exclaimed:
"Ah, Boss Li."
Many people on Hong Kong Island know Li Hongji of Cheung Ho Bank. After all, he is the big boss who often appears in newspapers.
Li Hongji smiled and whispered in his heart:
"There will be no more Boss Li in the future."
Half an hour later, a C717 passenger plane roared Flying into the sky, when Li Hongji and his family left Hong Kong Island, in a building on Hong Kong Island, a middle-aged man wearing a woolen Chinese tunic suit looked out the window at Victoria Bay and said:
< br>
"Li Hongji is gone?"
Jin Liangming, standing behind the director, quickly replied:
"Yes, director, we will take his place in dealing with Song Guoqiang in the future. For the time being, I don’t know Song Guoqiang, but it’s a pity that Li Hongji left like this. After all, he is easier to deal with and we are more familiar with him.”
The middle-aged man nodded and helped. He put on his black-rimmed glasses and said:
"Whether it is Li Hongji or Song Guoqiang, they say they are businessmen, but in fact they are spies from Nanyang. They are easy to deal with, but they are just disguises as spies. They and The purpose of our business is not simple. Don’t be fooled by their pretense!”
Then the middle-aged man turned around, looked at Jin Liangming behind him and said:
"You have to keep a distance from them. This is also to protect yourself, understand? After all, in the final analysis, Nanyang is an imperialist country. Moreover, it is a country that is willing to act as a pawn of US imperialism and is aggressive in nature."
Jin Liangming nodded again:
"Yes, the director taught you a lesson, I will pay attention to it in the future. "
Then, the middle-aged man gave a few more words, and then said:
"By the way, have you heard of Gao Binghan?"
"Gao Binghan?"
Jin Liangming thought for a while and said:
"I have never heard of this in Hong Kong Island People."
"Not from Hong Kong, but from Nanyang, the third batch of astronauts in space."
When he mentioned astronauts, he deliberately emphasized his voice, and of course his expression became a little complicated. After all, he was an astronaut who entered space.
“Ah, it turns out it’s Gao Binghan.”
In fact, Jin Liangming already knew the answer, he was just pretending to be confused. Sometimes it's better to pretend to be confused.
“That’s right, Gao Binghan, like many people, he also went from Tangshan. But he is different from many others. His family members are also our comrades. There was one in the trade group that went to Nanyang recently. Comrade is his sister. What the family wants to do is to create opportunities for them to reunite. It would be better if he is willing to return to the motherland. So, in the next few days, his sister will come to Hong Kong Island with the trade delegation. What about you? , responsible for reception and accompanying."
Hearing this, Jin Liangming said:
"Director, Gao Binghan has a special status. The people in Nanyang may not agree to let him meet our people." They are very wary of us.”
"This is easy to handle. Just ask the company in Nanyang to send an invitation letter. The trade delegation will depart from Hong Kong Island, just like in the past."
In fact, it seems that the two sides have no contact, but in fact, the two sides have always had contact. It's just through another method and under a certain degree of control.
Jin Liangming thought for a while,
"I understand, but even if he is willing to come back, it may not be easy to bring him back."
"You don't have to think about this problem. As long as he is willing to come back, we will have a way. You can make arrangements first." This is the first time we have sent people over for the trade mission."
The middle-aged man walked back to the desk, took out an envelope from the drawer and said:
"Here are the photos and related information. According to the information, the South is now a place where capital is paramount. As long as they have money, they will sell everything. We need to introduce some equipment and technology from them. After all, our relationship with the Soviet Union is becoming increasingly tense. This is also Another choice. Okay, go back to work first!”
“Yes, Director!”
After leaving the director's office, Jin Liangming glanced at the staff in the offices on both sides who were collecting and editing news, and then silently went downstairs.
When leaving here, you can see some passers-by on the road. Their clothes are shabby. You can tell at a glance that they must have just crossed the checkpoint and arrived here.
When looking at them, Jin Liangming couldn't help but sigh, and then shook his head.
In the past few years, people have been coming here, some stayed in Hong Kong Island, and some went to Southeast Asia.
The demand for labor in Malaya, Siam, Surabaya and Mindanao has never been met, so they have all reached an agreement with the British Hong Kong authorities. As long as those people are refugees, they can apply Southeast Asia.
Once these people get there, they are treated as cheap labor and exploited by the capitalists in various ways.
People come here every day, but through different channels. Some people climb over the barbed wire fence, and some pass through the checkpoints.
A few days ago, a group of more than a dozen people passed through Luohu and entered Hong Kong Island. After entering Hong Kong Island, one of the middle-aged women looked a little excited and murmured to herself:
"I finally have a chance to meet my brother..."
