Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

"Mr. Zhang, this is all in cash?"

"Yes, didn't we agree to give you cash? I even transferred the cash from other places!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Haha, it's troublesome to transfer money to you across borders.

So, I just brought cash with me. It shouldn't affect our transaction, right?" Zhang Chaoyang asked with a smile.

"It has no impact, no impact!" Little John said with a wry smile.

After saying that, he turned around and called someone to come and count and check the cash.

The cash Zhang Chaoyang took out was very complicated, including Japanese yen, US dollars, and francs.

However, as Little John said, this does not affect the transaction. As long as the money is real, there is no problem.

Little John directly called his partner bank and asked them to be responsible for counting the cash and then depositing it in the bank.

This era was not as strict as in later generations.

If it were in the future, if a transaction was conducted with so much cash, the bank would call the police immediately.

Then the police and tax authorities will come to check whether your money is legal and whether you have paid taxes.

Nowadays, although there are large multinational banks, many transactions are still conducted in cash.

It made sense for foreign businessmen to come to Great Britain to order cruise ships and pay in cash.

So, although the bank staff were surprised at so much cash, most of which was foreign currency, they still counted it carefully.

As long as the money is not fake, there is no problem.

As for the issue of paying taxes, once the money is deposited into a bank account, it means that the transaction is made public, and the tax payable will naturally not be reduced.

Zhang Chaoyang doesn't worry about these things as long as they don't affect the construction of the cruise ship.

The cash count was completed quickly and Little John gave Zhang Chaoyang a receipt.

To celebrate this important moment, John Jr. opened a bottle of champagne and drank it with Zhang Chaoyang.

The golden liquid swayed gently in the wine glass, exuding an alluring aroma, as if adding a touch of romance to their cooperation.

During lunch time, the two of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

After lunch, Zhang Chaoyang said goodbye, boarded a plane and left London.

This time I have been out for quite a while. If you calculate the time, it has been almost half a month.

Yang Meng is about to give birth, so she has to go back and wait for the baby to be born.

He took Xu Jie and others and flew directly to Hong Kong.

Nowadays, flying is not a comfortable thing.

Once you encounter the wind, the bumps and the feeling of being on the verge of life and death can drive you crazy.

No wonder people of this era don’t like to take planes. If it’s not an urgent matter, everyone would rather take a ship.

Ships are the safest means of cross-border transportation in this era.

After Zhang Chaoyang got off the plane, Xu Ping'an was already waiting outside the airport.

After a brief conversation, the two got in the car and returned to Zhang Mansion.

Along the way, Zhang Chaoyang looked at the scenery passing by quickly outside the window, his heart filled with longing and hope for the future.

After returning home, Zhang Chaoyang first hugged Hu Jiahui and other girls warmly, enjoying the joy of reunion after a long separation.

Best of all, don’t forget to give Xu Yan a gift.

After all, she is my housekeeper, I can’t forget her.

Otherwise, I'll have to roll my eyes at him again.

In the evening, of course, I had some intimate time with Hu Jiahui and other girls, and shared the thoughts that had accumulated for a long time.

In the following days, Zhang Chaoyang returned to the life of a otaku.

Every day, I stay at home with my wife and children, waiting for Yang Meng to give birth. Of course, I occasionally go out to meet friends, drink tea and chat.

Thousands of miles away in London, things were not so peaceful. The news that John Brown Shipyard had received an order worth 230 million pounds spread quickly.

What is even more noteworthy is that this order worth 230 million pounds is only for one ship, a cruise ship with a fully loaded tonnage of 180,000 tons.

Once completed and launched, the ship will be the largest cruise ship in the world, nearly twice the size of the Queen Elizabeth.

This greatly excites ordinary people, this melon is really big.

Those who ran the shipping companies cried wolf.

People who knew the business soon discovered the clue. Even a cruise ship fully loaded with 180,000 tons could not be worth 230 million pounds.

Anyone who can come up with such a large sum of money is certainly not a fool.

Then there is only one possibility, that is, this ship is not ordinary.

The world's largest cruise ship, this is definitely a great gimmick.

This news not only spread in Great Britain, but also went overseas and spread to Europe, America and other countries.

Reporters from all over the world flocked to London and surrounded John Brown's Dockyard to gather information.

Soon, various news came out.

Only then did everyone realize that this cruise ship was ordered by a Chinese, and it was even more luxurious than the Titanic.

All the metal components used for decoration on the cruise ship are made of platinum.

This is something the workers at John Brown's shipyard were bragging about.

However, the effect was very good, and everyone exclaimed at the luxury of this cruise ship.

Platinum!
In this era, diamond rings, which are slowly gaining popularity, are made of platinum.

However, everyone overlooks one fact: white gold is not platinum.

Although platinum is also called white gold, white gold is not really platinum.

Platinum is a precious metal extracted from meteorites.

Platinum is an alloy. For example, 18k platinum and 14k platinum are white alloys made from gold, silver, tin and other metals.

Although it is relatively expensive, its actual value is not as good as gold.

Many foreigners loudly called out in newspapers, how could the owner of the world's number one cruise ship be a Chinese?

He called on the shipping companies to make the foreigners proud and build a bigger cruise ship.

Some people even went to John Brown's Shipyard to protest against the shipbuilding for Chinese people.

As for these fools, Little John directly called the police and drove them away.

I don't build cruise ships for the Chinese, but you give me money to support my shipyard?

The shipping companies were even more direct and simply ignored these idiots.

Is it necessary to build larger cruise ships?
I don’t know. The cruise business is declining right now.

They are already struggling to support the current cruise ships.

The routes they currently operate are already short of customers, and they often only have half the boat full, shuttling between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

If a cruise ship of 180,000 tons is built, the number of passengers may not even be able to fill one-third of the cabins.

Therefore, at this time, building a larger cruise ship is a stupid act.

As time went by, the news that a Chinese man from Hong Kong had ordered the world's largest cruise ship finally reached Hong Kong.

As a result, Zhang Chaoyang's life at home was interrupted. From time to time, people would call him to inquire about the news and ask if it was the cruise ship Zhang Chaoyang had ordered.

After all, in the whole of Hong Kong, the only person who can afford to order a cruise ship worth 230 million pounds is Zhang Chaoyang. (End of this chapter)
