Hardy Empire 1945

Chapter 238 Vigorously Expanding Hong Kong's Business

The Liberty Ship and the Victory Ship entered the port. People have long paid attention to these two tall cargo ships. When five military personnel disembarked, someone came to greet them.

Mr. Victor? asked one of the officers.

It's been hard work all the way.

Victor smiled and shook hands with several people.

Before he came, Hardy had someone contact Victor and asked him to help deal with the matter here. Victor received the news that the cargo ship had arrived, and immediately brought people over.

Go through customs clearance procedures.

The catalogue is full of materials such as cloth, cotton, medical equipment, rubber shoes, canned food, machine tool production lines, etc. This is the territory of the British, and weapons cannot be blatantly shipped, and ordinary materials are completely fine.

Victor had already greeted the head of customs in advance, and the procedure went smoothly. The freighter docked at the wharf and began to unload the goods. Victor rented several large warehouses near the wharf in advance to store these materials.

Moreover, in this batch of materials, there are not only things ordered by Hong Kong Hongmen, but also goods ordered by Victor.

Victor has been in Hong Kong for nearly half a year, and he has gradually understood the situation here. He also opened a trading company and knew what to sell, so Hadi also had someone give Victor a list in advance, and it was not limited to the military. to eliminate materials.

What does Hong Kong lack?

Or what is missing in the surrounding countries?

In Victor's view, everything is lacking, and everything is left to be done.

After reading the list of military supplies, he did not ask for cans, clothes, and shoes like others, but took a fancy to the production line equipment of the US military.

Nails, screws, rubber shoes, leather shoes, electric wires, telephone lines, zippers, raincoats, rain boots, raw umbrellas and other production line equipment.

In addition, Victor ordered a lot of cotton.

Since the liberation of Hong Kong, the original industrial capacity has gradually recovered, and the original spinning mills have begun to work. Coupled with the relocation of many large spinning mills and textile mills from the mainland to Hong Kong, the number of spinning mills and textile mills here has reached 300. multiple.

But then the problem came again, the cotton shortage.

The current cotton is only enough for 70% of the consumption, and the gap is very large. Therefore, the price of cotton has risen a lot recently. As long as the cotton is shipped, there is no need to worry about selling it.

The people who came to greet not only Victor, but also triads. Two middle-aged men came to meet. Victor reported his family. These two are local snakes. Naturally, they have heard of Victor, who has recently become famous in Hong Kong. Mr. Duo.

Only one can get enough penicillin to make everyone admire.

It turned out to be Mr. Victor, my dear Li Chunshan,

As a triad manager, I will ask Mr. Victor to take care of him in the future. Li Chunshan said.

Hehe, we are partners, we make money together. Victor said with a smile.

The two sides exchanged a few words and talked about the goods this time. Victor asked someone to give each other a list, The goods are all here, you can pick up the goods at any time, there is only one thing, that is, the first batch of goods can be owed, but the delivery The payment for the first shipment must be blocked for the second shipment.

It should be so. Li Chunshan said.

Hong Kong Island.

a large house.

The two middle-aged men rushed into the mansion, came to the front of the main hall, and asked the guard at the door, Can the old man rest?

No rest, come in. A breathless voice came from the room.

The two smiled and hurried into the house.

The old man Situ was dozing in the reclining chair. The two of them pushed the door and entered the room before opening their eyes, You are old and your energy is low. Seeing how excited you are, it's a good thing.

One of them said, Master, the cargo ship in the United States has arrived, and the goods are being disembarked. This is the list. How do you want to deal with it?

Li Chunshan said and handed over the list.

Mr. Situ took the list and looked, telephone, telephone line, radio equipment, medical kit, medicine, glass syringe, sterilized cotton, infusion tube, medical equipment, gas mask, steel helmet, shovel, gloves, iron wire, military boots, cloth , sugar, sleeping bag, wool blanket, eiderdown, all kinds of canned food, field ration package.

The old gentleman nodded, Very good, some of these materials are sold, and some of them are quietly transported through other channels, together with weapons from other places, and transported there.

The list was returned to Li Chunshan, and Mr. Situ picked up another thicker list on the table. This list was sent to Hongmen by Hardy and the others. There were many more types of materials in it than this purchase list.

Mr. Situ sighed, picked up the booklet and looked at it, I want a lot of things, but after all, the funds are limited, this time I only raised a part, fortunately the other party made us owe the debt, otherwise we would not dare to order these what.

Li Chunshan quickly said: Some materials can be sold here, we can make profits, and the money we earn can be used to get new materials.

A drop in the bucket, if I have money, I really want to buy everything on the list. Mr. Situ said.

Hey, our country is too poor, and we are poor and weak. If there were so many materials back then, why would the devils poison us for so many years.

It's also because I am too weak. I have only raised more than 10 million US dollars over the years. If there is more money, I can support more materials and contribute more to the country.

Master, you have done enough. Li Chunshan said.

The old gentleman shook his head, It's not enough, well, you go to work, it is estimated that some of you are busy during this time.

Li Chunshan said goodbye and left.

Li Chunshan took people to pick up the goods and began to sell them in Hong Kong.

Picking up goods in batches, he can only get more goods if he makes money.

The first thing to take away were all kinds of canned food and field ration boxes. This is a Chinese territory. There are tens of thousands of people in Hongmen. If you count the tens of thousands outside, there is no need to advertise. Everyone here is a salesman. .

Second aunt, American GI rations, canned beef, all of which are large pieces of beef, and the taste is very good. A can only costs 2 yuan. A street person sells canned food to his neighbors.

Two dollars is so expensive, the woman said.

Is it still expensive for two dollars? This is from the United States. Did you see the two large freighters two days ago? They came down from there.

can it be cheaper?

Well, this canned luncheon meat is cheap, only one dollar.

The woman finally gritted her teeth and bought a can of lunch meat to try.

Inside the ration box is a complete set of food. The people from Hongmen did not sell it directly after getting it, but unboxed and classified them all.

There are Camel, Lucky, Marlboro and other famous American cigarettes in the jar. The price of these imported cigarettes on the market is not low, and they are very easy to sell. Only these cigarettes can recover one-third of the price.

There are also a lot of people wanting the rest, instant coffee, instant drink powder, matches, soap, towels, chewing gum, chocolate, hard candy and so on.

These can also sell for a good price.

There are also a large number of milk powder and egg powder. Few people here buy a large package. Small vendors also have a way to sell them after unpacking.

At this time, Hong Kong had a population of 1.5 million, all of them crammed into a small place. They consumed a lot of materials every day. The things they took out were digested in a few days, and then they took Money came to Victor to pick up the second shipment.

Victor was not idle during this time, but Hardy gave him the task.

In the past six months, Victor has met many local people in Xiangjiang. This time he took the initiative to send out invitations to invite many Chinese businessmen to come.

Why Chinese businessmen.

Small business.

Big business firms may not be able to see it.

And this time, most of those British firms are also doing business, and there is a certain degree of competition between the two sides.

Hong Kong Chinese businessmen were very puzzled when they received the invitation post from Victor. It said that there was a business to cooperate with everyone, but it did not say what kind of business. However, these people still decided to go to this recently famous person in Hong Kong.

that day,

There were more than 100 people here. Victor did not invite these people to the hotel, but settled directly at the dock warehouse.

Victor looked at these people and said with a smile: Everyone, you may have heard that a batch of American goods has recently arrived in Hong Kong. The American canned food and field rations sold on the street are those goods.

These people naturally know that no one in the streets is unaware of this matter, and some of them even buy some to try it out.

This business is what our Hardy Group is doing. These materials are not only shipped to Hong Kong, but to more than 30 countries around the world. Victor said with a smile.

These businessmen were shocked and had a higher understanding of the Hardy Group.

The things shipped this time are not only those cans, but also better things, which are in here. He ordered the warehouse door to be opened.

These businessmen looked at the warehouse with curiosity.

Everyone walked into the warehouse and found that there were batches of machines and machine tool equipment. Victor said: Hadi Company intends to cooperate with you. Here are all the equipment removed from the US military factory, and it is a complete set. , Some only took three or four years, and the equipment performance is very good, there are iron nail production lines, screw production lines, rubber shoe production lines, and wire production lines.”

Victor said more than a dozen names in one breath, each of which represented a factory.

There are qualified businessmen here, and they immediately realized the business opportunities here. After Victor finished speaking, a businessman surnamed Zheng immediately asked, Excuse me, Mr. Victor, are you planning to sell these equipment, and at what price?

Victor waved his hand, Not to sell, but to find a partner.

Our Hardy company's plan is to find someone to build a factory together and sell materials. These equipment are included in the investment, and the management will be shared by the two companies.

Now people understand, but many people are more interested in this model, because there is a greater benefit, which is to rely on the big ship of the Hardy Group.

Victor continued: Next, I'm going to talk to Governor Grantham. There is an industrial zone in Xiangjiang, which is specially used to develop factories. There are more than a dozen production lines here, and there will be more in the future. There are hundreds of industries, as long as there are suitable ones, they can be moved here.”

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted: My dear Li Xiaohe, I am willing to cooperate with Hardy Company to open an iron nail and screw production company.
