Morning.
Mid-level villa.
A brand new silver sports car was parked in the courtyard, the sun shone on it, shining dazzlingly.
Rolls Royce Silver Spirit.
Before Hardy ordered five sports cars in the UK, one for each woman, this Hardy was shipped to Japan, and this time he brought it directly to Han Yezhen.
Hardy answered a phone call and pulled Han Yezhen up with a smile. The two put on their pajamas and said, "Close your eyes."
"Is it a gift?" Han Yezhen asked with a smile.
"right."
The woman obediently closed her eyes.
Han Yizhen took the woman's hand and came to the courtyard. When Han Yizhen opened her eyes, she saw the shiny car in the courtyard.
"Wow~ Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit!"
Han Yezhen exclaimed in surprise.
"Huh~ Do you know this car?" Hardy was a little surprised, and he was going to introduce it to Han Yizhen.
"Haha, I saw it in a pictorial." Han Yizhen said with a smile.
The iconic Rolls-Royce front, the Flying Goddess logo, a long nose, a large curve next to it, and a small buttocks at the back, the overall feeling is like a woman with a perfect body.
Han Yezhen likes the gift of Hardy very much.
After breakfast, the two drove out in a sports car. There were several cars in front and behind for protection. They came to the museum construction site.
Now most of the museum has been built, the underground treasury has been completed, and the main body of the above-ground museum has also been completed, leaving only decoration.
"According to the current progress, it should be completed in April and May next year." Han Yizhen introduced.
"Take me to the underground vault." Hardy said.
This is what Hardy is most concerned about. In fact, the most important thing for him to build a museum is to build a place where things can be safely stored.
Under the leadership of the supervisor, Hardy and Han Yizhen went down to the underground vault. There are three floors in total, and each floor covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters, which is about half the size of a football field.
The third floor is 15,000 square meters.
The insurance equipment adopts the most advanced technology in the world. Don’t doubt the technology of the 1940s. The Federal Reserve Treasury was built earlier, and it is still used until later generations, and it is very safe. Sometimes physical protection may not lag behind electronic protection.
The supervisor introduced the situation of the vault. The huge vault door is half a meter thick, with cylindrical locks on both sides. Three keys need to be inserted separately, and there is a turning sequence to open the door smoothly. As for the vault wall, it is more than one meter thick. There are also ship steel plates sandwiched inside.
At the same time, there are detectors inside, which can detect drilling and cutting, and will automatically alarm when encountering damage beyond the limit.
In the big treasury, there are also small treasuries that can store things separately.
Looking at the wide vault,
Hardy thought to himself, how many things would be needed to fill this vault.
antique,
artwork,
gold,
gem,
I am still poor, and I still need to work harder in the future.
More gold should be stored here. Before the Bretton Woods system collapsed, his goal was to exchange 1,000 tons of gold here.
How much is a thousand tons of gold, Hardy calculated in his mind, it seems to be 1.24 billion US dollars.
Hey,
It doesn't seem to be much.
As for antique art.
Hardy's Auction Company now has branches in the United States, Italy, France, the United Kingdom, and Hong Kong. He hopes to make Hardy's Auction Company into a global company like Christie's and Sotheby's in the future.
Not only can you make money, but you can also buy antique works of art.
In fact, there is another place, and that is Japan. In the past few years, Japan has robbed many Chinese treasures and transported them all to island countries for hiding.
certainly,
Those Chinese treasures, Hardy doesn't plan to spend money on them.
They snatch it.
Let me buy it back.
He felt it was an insult to his intelligence.
When he returned to Japan, he was going to do it. As for how to do it, Hardy already had some plans in mind.
He's going to tell someone.
Financial robbery is the most brutal robbery in the world!
After watching the treasury, Hardy and Han Yizhen just came up when they saw someone waiting outside. The man stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Excellency Governor Hardy, Governor Grantham knew you were coming to Hong Kong, so he sent me to invite you to prepare tonight Host a welcome reception for you."
…
The news of Hardy's arrival in Hong Kong was not deliberately concealed from anyone. A reporter discovered his presence and reported it in the newspaper.
Ge Lianghong got up in the morning and was having breakfast when his secretary hurried in, "Your Excellency, I just read in the newspaper that Mr. Hardy has come to Hong Kong."
Ge Lianghong was also surprised.
"Jon Hardy, Baron Hardy, Governor of Cayman?" Ge Lianghong asked.
"Yes, a reporter saw him, and the newspaper reported it. I was afraid of making a mistake, so I called the airport specifically. The airport said that Mr. Hardy's private plane did land at the airport yesterday. Mr. Victor and Mr. Hardy's girlfriend Han The lady is going to pick up the plane." The secretary said.
The message confirms,
Ge Lianghong thought for a while and said, "You go to see Baron Hardy now, and just say that I am going to hold a welcome reception for him tonight."
If Hardy just came to inspect his property in Hong Kong, Ge Lianghong didn't need to care, after all, he might come several times a year.
But this time was different, he had to invite again.
Because Hardy's identity is very different from the last time, last time Hardy was an American businessman, but this time Hardy has the title of British Baron Cayman Governor, and he has also become Japan's economic special envoy.
Ge Lianghong read the newspapers, and there were reports on Hadi's reforms and actions in Japan. Hadi carried out in-depth economic transformation of Japan.
Carve up the Japanese economy cleanly.
For such a character, Ge Lianghong did not dare to neglect, and asked the secretary to invite and prepare to hold a welcome reception for Hardy.
The secretary went to find Hardy.
First, he found a villa in the middle of the mountain. The housekeeper said to go to the museum, and the secretary hurried to the museum to invite him.
"Hehe, Governor Ge Lianghong really has a heart, well, I will attend on time tonight." Hardy said with a smile.
evening,
Hardy took Han Yezhen and Victor to the welcome reception, still in the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion, this time, Hardy found a lot of new faces.
In the past, the heads of various departments in Hong Kong have changed, and even the presidents of many foreign firms have changed a few.
Victor has now become an aboriginal, and he knows the situation of these people better than Hardy. Ge Lianghong introduced those people who met Hardy for the first time, and Victor introduced them in a low voice.
It's different from last time.
Most of these people are British officials and businessmen. Now Hardy also has British nationality, and also has a British title. He is still a nobleman with a fief, and the lifetime governor of the Cayman Islands.
Such an identity made the people present respect him even more.
During the reception,
Someone asked Hardy: "Your Excellency Hardy, your Hardy Group has invested so much in Hong Kong, do you think Hong Kong and the Mainland will live in peace, right?"
Hardy smiled and shook his head: "Who can grasp this kind of thing, but now it seems that everything is moving in a good direction. I heard that the British government is going to recognize the regime in the Mainland and open diplomatic relations with the Mainland. I believe that when the two sides reach an agreement, Hong Kong will stabilize."
Someone said: "Mr. Hardy, your political vision is really accurate. Did you see that Hong Kong will be fine?"
"Political vision, hehe, it's overrated. I'm not interested in politics, I'm only interested in making money." Hardy said with a smile.
Everyone else laughed along.
In fact, everyone thinks Hardy's words are too modest. If he has no political ability, how can he become the special envoy of Japan's economy and transform Japan so well.
the next day.
Victor finally had time to report to Hardy in detail on the development of various departments in the past six months.
HSBC and Wells Fargo are now the top two banks in Hong Kong with the most assets.
Ninety percent of the enterprises in the industrial zone have started construction. Hardy took a look at the list and found that there are all kinds of industries, such as metal processing, light industry, electronics, real estate companies, chemical companies, pharmaceutical companies, and rubber companies. , printing companies, tobacco companies, food companies, trading companies and so on.
Hardy said: "Victor, introduce another fertilizer factory to produce urea."
Urea is the most widely used chemical fertilizer. In the future, all countries will use a large amount of chemical fertilizers, including China, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries. This kind of thing will definitely not worry about selling.
Victor didn't know why the boss suddenly thought of building a fertilizer plant, but he hurriedly wrote it down and planned to get someone to build a fertilizer plant later.
Huo Qingdong was notified to see Hadi to report on his work. Hadi was very interested in the trade with the north.
"How's the business going with the north side recently?" Hardy asked.
"Although the British issued a ban to prevent the shipment of goods to the north, the inspections were not very strict. I turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. I also asked someone to take care of it. Now the British can say that it is the United States. People check strictly."
"American warships often stop at key waterways, and intercept ships when they see them. Last time, our cargo was seized by the Americans, and a cargo ship of more than 200 tons and the entire cargo were lost. The loss exceeded 100,000 yuan. Dollar."
Huo Qingdong said with great regret.
$100,000 is a lot of money.
Now that the United Kingdom and the United States are implementing a blockade policy on the inland, Huo Qingdong dare not use large ships, so he changed all of them into small ships of two to three hundred tons, breaking them into pieces and secretly transporting them.
Most of the goods shipped to the mainland are contraband, such as medicines, veils, rubber, instruments, machine tools, and even weapons.
As for the source of the weapons, Huo Qingdong didn't know either.
"What's more, those people on Bend Island, they will also drive boats to patrol, and they will even shoot when they see a ship carrying goods to the mainland. Once, one of our ships was targeted by warships on Bend Island. , Fortunately, the ship's horsepower is sufficient and faster than the opponent's warship, and it was chased by the opponent for hundreds of nautical miles before it escaped, and everyone broke out in a cold sweat."
Hardy sneered inwardly.
Those guys are not good enough to be a regular army, but they work very hard as robbers.
Hardy ordered: "Be more careful in the future. If you encounter danger, you don't have to care about the ship and cargo. Abandon it as soon as you need it. People can do nothing."
"Thank you boss, I will be careful."
After Huo Qingdong left, Han Yizhen came in with a bowl of soup, "This is the pigeon soup that has just been stewed. It has been stewed for more than four hours, and it is very tasty."
Hardy smiled and took it and ate it.
Han Yizhen was sitting by the side watching Hardy eating, suddenly she remembered something, and said to Hardy: "A few days ago, my second uncle came to me and said that a few Hongmen Chinese from Malaya came to him, hoping to get some food from Hong Kong. Help, and also, they asked Second Uncle to see me, you know that I don't want to participate in too many outside affairs, and I don't understand, so I refused."
"I don't know what those people want to do with me, and I don't care too much about it. Today, I suddenly remembered to tell you, what do you think they want me to do?"
Hardy knew that the second uncle Han Yizhen was talking about was Li Chunshan, the leader of the Hong Kong triad society.
Southeast Asian Chinese.
Malaya.
Hongmen organization.
Find Han Yezhen.
When these several entries are strung together, Hardy already has a general idea in his mind.
