It can be seen from this that Mrs. Qiao, the assistant, is indeed responsible for part of the intelligence work. Otherwise, she would not be the one to answer this question.
It was indeed beyond Fang Lang's expectation that John Zeng was one of his own. When this young man came in alone to negotiate with them, he had already attracted his attention. He did not expect that the other party would have such an identity.
“I think it’s best for you to re-examine his work, and it’s best not to involve him in this kind of vigilance work in the future.
I think he should have reported to you that my British friend Leonhardt will indeed recommend him to the Hong Kong Governor's security team. Being able to get such a chess piece next to the Hong Kong Governor will play a very important role in our judgment of the situation of the port city in the future.
More importantly, he will be promoted soon. When he comes out of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, he will at least have the rank of Inspector. This position is very unique among the Chinese in the entire Hong Kong city.
With such a person in the police force, we can use his power to quietly infiltrate the police force in the future. You must not underestimate the Hong Kong police. In this place where gangs are rampant, the role that the police can play is beyond your imagination.
If one day you control all the Chinese police in Hong Kong, congratulations! It's basically up to you to decide whether Hong Kong City is in chaos or not. "
Fang Lang shouldn't have said these words in the first place, but he still felt very confused about Gong Wei's behavior of bringing such an important person as a guard. It's always the importance of the opponent's position that feels like they're clearly inadequate.
Therefore, I couldn't help but remind the other party. This time Gong Wei did not have any dissatisfaction or doubt after hearing his words. Instead, he nodded with a smile on his face and said:
"Thank you General Fang for the reminder. Xiao Zeng is a very good comrade. We have always known this.
In fact, we have known about his encounter with you for a long time. The purpose of letting him be responsible for the security work this time is to let him be responsible for your communication work during your stay in Hong Kong City.
At the same time, we don’t want more people to know that there is a private connection between you and us.
So please rest assured! We will definitely not waste any talent. "
Only then did Fang Lang realize that in terms of latent ability, the seniors from his hometown could be their own ancestors. How could they not understand the importance of John Zeng's position!
It seems that this time it is me who is Meng Lang.
Fang Lang touched his nose embarrassedly, nodded with a smile and said:
"No problem. It would be more convenient and hidden if Officer Zeng comes forward to contact me. After all, most people in the police force know how he and I met.
Absolutely no doubt. Then I'll take my leave now! "
After speaking, he turned around again and shook hands with the two of them before opening the door and walking out.
Mr. Qiao and his wife stood by the window and watched Fang Lang go downstairs and cross the backyard. At the door of the backyard, they seemed to chat with John Zeng for a few more words before returning to the tea restaurant next to the original path.
"Weiwei, do you think what General Fang said will really happen?"
It wasn't until Fang Lang completely disappeared from sight that Mr. Qiao couldn't help but ask his wife beside him.
“I don’t know, at first I did have some doubts about whether the other party was sent by the Americans to deliberately sow discord between us and Big Brother.
But later I overturned this suspicion myself, because no one would provoke it like this. "
Gong Wei looked out the window in the direction where the waves disappeared, with deep eyes.
Mr. Qiao did not turn his head to look at his wife. He also looked deeply into the distance and said as if talking to himself:
"Yes! No one would provoke it like this, but if what the other party said is true, then the peaceful environment we finally achieved will be broken again.
And this time the enemy will be even stronger! "
Looking back at Mr. Qiao's faintly worried expression, Gong Wei thought for a while, looked at him firmly and said:
"What are you afraid of? Although we have not directly fought against the old Americans, we have fought against Chang Kaishen, who is armed by the Yankees, for so many years. Chang Kaishen, who has millions of troops in his hands, has been defeated by us, and we are still afraid of him. A group of old American soldiers.
What's more, we also have enthusiastic overseas compatriots like General Fang who provide us with selfless help and support. What reason do we have not to be strong and fight them. "
"Okay, that's right! With the support of 40 million people, and the support and help of overseas compatriots like General Fang, we will definitely be able to defeat these paper tigers of US imperialism."
Mr. Qiao heard that his wife, a female prostitute, could make an impassioned and confident statement. Naturally, he, a grown man, cannot lag behind.
Although both of them have re-established their self-confidence, they also understand the urgency and importance of this matter.
After Mr. Qiao pondered for a while, he looked up at the sky, then raised his hand to look at his watch, turned to his wife and said:
"This information is really important. It's still early, so let's not delay. I will set off home immediately and report the situation here to my superiors truthfully.
Try to give your superiors as much time as possible to verify the authenticity of the intelligence and prepare for emergencies as soon as possible. "
As a veteran soldier, Gong Wei was not a shy person. He nodded directly and said:
"Okay, without further ado, I'm going home now to pack a few changes of clothes for you, and you can set off as soon as possible."
After saying that, the two of them did not hesitate and quickly cleaned up the traces in the room, then changed their appearance and quietly left the tenement building elsewhere.
What happened here did not attract the attention of the port city. Even the MI6 agents who were following Fang Lang and the others thought that Fang Lang and the others were just casually finding a special tea restaurant for lunch as usual.
After leaving the tea restaurant, Fang Lang directly led the team to inspect the vicinity of Tsuen Wan Pier. As an important trading port in East Asia, the importance of the port city is of course unquestionable.
This is the Universal Group, an important part of the global shipping terminal. Unfortunately, most of the docks in the port city are now under the control of British-owned foreign companies, and it will take a lot of effort for Fang Lang to directly participate.
Watching the ragged coolies on the dock not far away, urged by gangsters, constantly carrying the goods off the cargo ship off the dock by carrying them on their shoulders, Fang Lang couldn't help but feel a little agitated. frown.
It’s not that he despises the hard work of these coolies, but he is a little worried that when his container terminal is completed in the port city, these coolies may face unemployment.
This gave him a headache. Most of these coolies were refugees who had fled. If they didn't even have the chance to carry big bags by then, Fang Lang was sure that many people would be desperate and live on the streets.
Of course, these people are no different from living on the streets now. Most of them live in the slums of Shek Kip Mei. The environment there is harsh and privately built wooden houses are everywhere. Fires often happen. In history, there was even one incident. The fire shocked the whole of Hong Kong and left more than 50,000 people homeless.
But even so, they still have a job to support their family! Fang Lang couldn't help but feel worried when he thought about how tens of thousands of people might lose their jobs when his plan was implemented.
However, he is not someone who gives up eating because of choking. These refugees are still here just because they are close to their hometown. If they really can't survive, they will definitely find another way out.
After thinking about this, Fang Lang began to carefully look at the Tsuen Wan Pier, which was later known as the Kwai Tsing Pier. The reason why he came here was of course not just to show MI6.
It is really necessary to invest in the construction of a dock in the port city. However, the time is not now, but until the end of the Peninsular War, because during the Peninsular War, the port city was also affected and was included in the blockade by the Americans twice.
For a time, the freight industry in the port city came to a standstill, and this period was what Fang Lang saw as the best time to acquire the terminal from a British-owned foreign company.
The port city at this time actually had many large and small piers. Fang Lang came here because he wanted to see why this pier finally managed to break out of the siege and stayed.
It turned out to be a good place today. It has a natural waterway and ships can dock on both sides. It is completely different from other areas where only one side of the coast can be developed.
In addition, this is not a bustling commercial real estate area, suitable for large vehicles to load and unload goods, and the current land price in Tsuen Wan is much lower than that of Wharf.
Since it was definitely a good place to develop a cargo terminal, Fang Lang had to find a way to win it.
The person in charge of the Global Terminal Company's Port City Branch, who had been waiting here for a long time, came to Fang Lang's side after seeing Fang Lang's motorcade arriving.
“Boss, this is indeed a good place to develop a cargo terminal, but it’s a pity that it has been developed by Swire and Jardine.
I have taken the initiative to contact them before, but they directly rejected our purchase request and did not agree with our cooperative development plan. "
The person in charge is a blond American, wearing a suit, his hair is meticulously combed, and his gold-rimmed glasses give him a Wall Street elite look.
Fang Lang had met the other party. A few days ago, the other party visited him at the Peninsula Hotel and submitted an analysis report of the port city terminal to him, which focused on the location in front of him. It can be seen that the other party is still very Discerning.
"Really? Don't you even agree to joint development?"
Fang Lang looked at the busy dock in the distance without looking back.
“They mainly disagree with us becoming the majority shareholder, but they are very interested in the plan to develop this place into a container terminal.”
Hearing this, Fang Lang showed a smile as expected. After thinking for a moment, Fang Lang said directly:
"Let's do this! After you go back, make a new plan. Our company will invest in technology and patents, and the other party will invest in land and funds. We will use the next three years to completely transform this place into the largest container terminal in the port city. "
"Ah! This may be a bit difficult. The situation in the port city is a bit tense now, and they are also waiting and watching. At this time, if they are asked to invest huge sums of money to build a dock, they may not agree."
The person in charge looked at Fang Langdao with some embarrassment.
Fang Lang was not angry when he saw this, he smiled and nodded and said:
"Making a plan also takes time. We are not in a hurry. Soon they should receive news that Hong Kong City will maintain the status quo."
As soon as this statement came out, the person in charge was obviously shocked. Thinking of the rumors heard a few days ago, the Hong Kong Governor seemed to have talked with his boss. In this way, the credibility of the news was very high.
However, there is no reason why British-funded consortiums such as Swire and Jardines should not be able to hear from Mr. Hong Kong Governor! Does the boss have other channels for news?
He quickly realized that these things were obviously not issues that he should be concerned about.
"I understand, boss! I will make a new plan when I get back."
"Well, remember, this plan will plan the terminals of Taikoo and Jardine together, and promote the cooperation of the three to establish a new container terminal management company.
The facilities and scale of the terminal must be built according to the best standards. Our shareholding can be smaller, but we must build it as the largest terminal in Asia. "
Fang Lang seriously explained his expectations for this terminal. But his words left the person in charge a little confused. They didn't understand why Fang Lang was willing to take the smallest share, but instead wanted to build this place into the largest terminal in Asia.
