When the dinner was ready, Han Yizhen came over and asked everyone to eat. Li Chunshan was fine, after all, he had a relationship with Han Yizhen, and Huo Qingdong seemed rather reserved.

During the meal, Han Yizhen talked to Li Chunshan from time to time. Hardy looked at Huo Qingdong who was sitting upright, and said to Li Chunshan: I am very optimistic about this young man. I think he has some brains. I want to ask you for someone.

Li Chunshan was taken aback.

An important man, what does Mr. Hardy want him to do?

Huo Qingdong was even more surprised. He didn't expect Mr. Hardy to take a fancy to him. Could it be because of his idea of ​​collecting scrap iron?

There is a trading company in Macau, but there is no suitable manpower. I think he is good, and I want him to be in charge of the business of the trading company in Macau. Hardy said.

Huo Qingdong is the newly promoted leader of Li Chunshan, mainly because of his savvy and smart mind. Now that Hardy asks him for someone, he really can't refuse. Look at Huo Qingdong: Qingdong, Mr. Hardy thinks highly of you, This is your luck, from now on you will leave the triad and go to work with Mr. Hardy.

Huo Qingdong was taken aback.

He didn't expect such a big change in his life. He took a deep breath and stood up, bowing ninety degrees to Li Chunshan.

I listened to Master Li. Thank you for your cultivation these years. I will never forget your kindness.

Li Chunshan waved his hand.

Huo Qingdong worshiped Li Chunshan at the beginning, and now Li Chunshan offered to let him go out, which is not considered a betrayal, so Huo Qingdong will not get a bad reputation.

Huo Qingdong straightened up, looked at Hardy and said, Mr. Hardy, thanks to your respect, Qingdong will do his best in everything he does from now on.

Hardy smiled, Sit down and eat, you will go to Victor tomorrow, from now on you will be the manager of the trading company in Macau, by the way, this time the scrap metal collection business on the island will also be entirely in your charge.

Mr. Hardy.

 …

After dinner, Huo Qingdong and Li Chunshan left, and Han Yizhen delivered to the door.

on the way back,

Li Chunshan patted Huo Qingdong on the shoulder,

Qingdong, your luck has come. From now on, following Mr. Hardy will lead to great things. If you have business, you need to take care of the triads.

Don't dare to forget Master Li's kindness. Huo Qingdong said.

Li Chunshan nodded, but didn't say anything more.

the next day.

Huo Qingdong found Victor, Victor had already received a call from Hardy, knowing that Huo Qingdong had become the manager of the Macau Trading Company, he smiled and shook hands with him.

We will be colleagues from now on.

Huo Qingdong quickly clasped it with both hands, Don't dare, Mr. Victor, please take care of me in the future.

I dispatched two freighters from Global Shipping, and you will be in charge of these two freighters from now on. As for recruiting personnel to go to sea to start work, that's up to you, Victor said.

Huo Qingdong thought for a while, Mr. Victor, do you have any instructions from the boss on how to sell goods in the future?

Victor shook his head, You are responsible for this, and you can sell wherever you think it is suitable. These two ships have two sets of procedures, one set of American documents and one British document, both are legal, and there are British flags on board. And the American flag, whichever you think is suitable.

and this.

Victor said that he took out a certification letter from his body, which was all in English, This is a document from the US Department of Defense, and it is a certification document for our logistical supplies business. You should bring this with you. If the US Navy stops you, Just show them this.

Huo Qingdong quickly took the file.

This thing is a life-saving talisman. With this, it is official work, which is reasonable and legal.

Now he sighed even more in his heart about the powerful energy of Boss Hardy.

Being able to do business with the logistics department of the US military, it is not a matter of making money every minute.

 …

Hong Kong Victoria Pier.

Two Liberty ships are in port.

The triads set up a shed on the pier, and there were no less than two or three thousand people standing on the open space of the pier, all of them young and strong.

Huo Qingdong asked the newspaper to publish an advertisement last night.

Recruit dismantling workers to board the ship and follow them to the island to disassemble materials. The daily salary is 3 yuan, and three meals are taken care of.

Calculated at 3 yuan per day, that would be 90 yuan a month. The Hong Kong police only have so much money, and office clerks can't earn so much.

On weekdays, those dock workers earn only one hundred and eighty yuan a month after working so hard, and they also take care of three meals.

In the past one or two years, hundreds of thousands of young adults have flooded into Hong Kong, and many of them cannot find jobs. Now that there is such a good job, many of them come to the pier early in the morning.

Although there are many people, there are people from the triad society who are responsible for maintaining order. The triad society controls the pier, no one dares to make trouble, and the registration and boarding are orderly.

There are a lot of people coming today, so we don’t need that many people at all. Each boat only needs 500 people, so we only need young and strong people, and they will be fully equipped in a short time.

Those who weren't picked were frustrated.

On the first day of today, Li Chunshan also attached great importance to it. He came over in person to see that the people were all ready. Huo Qingdong bowed his hands to Li Chunshan, Master Li, I will set off when the people are all ready.

Okay, it's up to you whether you make money or not. He said and patted Huo Qingdong on the shoulder.

When the big ship sailed out of Victoria Harbour, the first stop was Iwo Jima, where Hardy had fought. Iwo Jima was about 1,400 nautical miles away from Hong Kong. The two ships finally arrived after two days of driving.

Before reaching the island, people saw several warships lying across the bay, and on the beach, there were broken landing craft, tanks, small armored vehicles, tractors, and various loose parts.

Huo Qingdong swallowed.

These are all money.

There is a crude port on Iwo Jima, just enough for ships to park in. Migrant workers began to disembark, holding tools in their hands, such as hammers, hammers, crowbars, poles, and ropes. , Huo Qingdong said loudly:

I promise everyone's wages will not be less than a penny, but everyone has to work hard. If someone is lazy, there will be no next time. Okay, everyone will start working. All valuable copper and iron items will be moved onto the ship.

Good~!

Thousands of people set off together and rushed towards the scrap metal.

These people all know that a good job is hard to find. They have been rested for two days and have eaten white rice for two days. It is time to work hard. They are all working hard.

Huo Qingdong asked the cook to disembark and prepare to light a fire and cook here. A boat is 7,000 tons. Although there are many people, it will take a while.

The meals are simple,

White rice is enough.

The other is a pot of stewed broth with steamed salted fish.

A bowl of rice, a spoonful of broth, and a piece of salted fish are already good meals for these working men.

The migrant workers started the work like ants moving a house, dismantling these rusty weapons and stacking them together first, and then someone came to take charge of moving them aboard.

Japanese tanks. In the past, we suffered a lot from the little Japanese tanks on the battlefield. Today, I stand on top of the tanks and dismantle them. How happy he is.

As he spoke, he swung the sledgehammer and smashed it down with all his might.

Haha, the plane, the Japanese plane, is it more valuable to disassemble this one? I will also dismantle the plane today.

Hey, there are a bunch of guns here, Sanba Dagai, if there was such a gun on the battlefield back then, everyone would be envious.

What is this~~~?

Someone waded on the ground, and a miserable white skull rolled out of the soil.

The man took a step back in fright.

A middle-aged man in his forties next to him looked at the bones and said indifferently: What is a skull afraid of?

Do you say these are American bones or Japanese bones? asked the young man.

It must be the Japanese. The Americans won the war. After the war, the corpses of the American soldiers were taken away. No one cared about the bones of the Japanese. Just watch. We don't know what to look at on the island from now on. How many bones have been found, all of them are Japanese. The middle-aged man said.

Young man looks at the skull.

He swung his sledgehammer and smashed it down hard.

Fuck you~~!

Crack~!

The skull fell apart.

on the island,

They found many good things,

Rifles, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns.

Cannons of various calibers, mortars.

There are also a lot of shell casings, all of which are made of copper, which are much more valuable than scrap iron, and are more convenient to carry. They can be picked up on 10 poles and sent to the ship quickly.

In fact, more than half of the supplies on the island were left by the Americans. The Americans were rich in equipment when the United States attacked the island, and they discarded it if it was even slightly damaged.

But now these things are all money in Huo Qingdong's eyes.

Migrant workers move things onto the boat like ants moving house. Don't underestimate the power of ants. The speed of working silently is also amazing.

These people worked very hard, and no one dared to steal or play tricks, for fear of losing this good opportunity to make money. It took only three days for one of the freighters to be filled, and the ship set sail immediately after it was full.

The migrant workers did not board the boat, but continued to dismantle it and load the second boat.

Meals include rice and salted fish. Occasionally, these guys can find some canned food left by the US military on the island, which becomes their delicious meal.

There are tents for sleeping, which are the US military tents that Hardy and the others sell.

When it’s cold, there are quilts, American military quilts.

Having this condition is already very good for these migrant workers.

 …

Huo Qingdong went out to sea with the boat, this time the boat was full of his own people, their boat didn't return to Hong Kong, but went directly northward, the destination was Tianjin.

At this time Tianjin has been liberated.

Before Huo Qingdong set off, he contacted the north and asked them if they wanted scrap steel, explaining that it was left over from the war on the island, and the north expressed that they were willing to take it.

Now the north side lacks everything.

These scrap iron removed from tanks and battleships are also good things in the eyes of the north.

In fact, from Iwo Jima to Tianjin, it is not farther than Hong Kong. The distance is similar. After the cargo ship entered the port late at night, someone greeted it in advance, and many people came to unload the cargo.

When unloading the cargo, I thought it was just scrap copper and iron, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are many good things in these scrap iron.

Oh shit,

There are thousands of rifles, mortar barrels, field guns, and howitzers. Although they are not complete, some parts are still usable.

Copper cannon shells are even better, and there is a severe shortage of copper in China.

This is not a waste product, this is simply a treasure.

At the end of the day, the ship was full of more than 7,000 tons of scrap copper and rotten iron, and it cost 220,000 US dollars.

Pay the bill?

no money.

Then several boxes of jewellery, hundreds of baskets of dried sea cucumbers, abalones, shark fins, scallops, and hundreds of loads of various Chinese herbal medicines were loaded onto the ship.

And there is tea.

Huo Qingdong opened a basket of dried sea cucumbers, and the person in charge introduced: This is authentic Liaodong ginseng. It tastes good, is rich in nutrition, and nourishes the essence.

And these teas are all famous Chinese teas, specially selected for the best.

The freighter only stayed here for one day before sailing back. This time, it returned directly to Hong Kong and unloaded at Hardy's container terminal. These things were directly put into storage.

As for the boxes of jewelry, they were transferred to Victor.

Boss, a batch of things have been sent from the north, do you want to take a look? Victor called Hardy.

What are there?

There are hundreds of tans of traditional Chinese medicine. I have asked the pharmaceutical factory to pick up the goods. There are also hundreds of baskets of dried sea cucumbers, abalones, shark fins, and scallops. These can be sold for money in Hong Kong, and there are also a large amount of tea.

Mostly bankers' acceptances and gems.

Hearing that Hardy was interested in the gemstone, he came to the auction company soon. At this time, several appraisal masters were appraising the gemstone. After the appraisal, they will give a price, and the money will be deducted from the arrears.

As for the price, it depends on Victor's conscience.

A batch of rubies, the largest one is more than 30 carats, and it has been polished and has a pigeon blood red color. It belongs to the top-level rubies. This one is worth 30,000 US dollars.

A batch of sapphires, the largest sapphire is more than 50 carats, this gem is estimated at 80,000 US dollars.

There are many other smaller gemstones, Hardy said to be fine, so these smallest ones are also one carat.

Not many diamonds,

Suet jade and jadeite are the most popular, which is inseparable from the domestic jewelry market environment, and Chinese people love jade more.

There are dozens of top-grade suet jade, the largest one is the size of a suitcase, and there are many fine products in the jadeite, among which there is a glass-type emperor green bead necklace and a bracelet of the same quality, which Hardy likes the most.

It is said that Soong Meiling is particularly fond of jadeite. She has a pair of emerald emperor green twist bracelets, worth 40,000 silver dollars.

Hardy thought the two pieces of jade jewelry were good, and planned to give them to Han Yizhen, Have someone re-polish them, and send them to me later.

Good boss.

There are also those rubies and sapphires. Don't sell them after the price has been appraised. I will bring them back to the United States and let them be processed into jewelry. Hardy said.

He has many women,

Prepare more gifts in advance.

And it can't be too simple,

For example, Elizabeth Taylor, when she was 18 years old, must give her a gift of sufficient weight.

Regardless of the fact that there is still one year left, time flies by in a blink of an eye.
