Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Lou Jinyu and the domestic inspection team had just arrived at Hong Kong Island, and they encountered trouble as soon as they got off the boat. The police at John Bull in Hong Kong Island refused to issue entry permits because they did not have the entry procedures to the island, and the group was forced to stay at the port checkpoint.

Secretary Wang, who led the team, turned around anxiously. This group of people did not enter the island in an official capacity. Their main purpose was to inspect a batch of heavy industrial machinery and lathes. After falling out with the north, they stopped supplying Su machinery to China, causing many newly built factories to stop production due to lack of equipment. In addition, a batch of equipment began to malfunction due to lack of maintenance. China urgently needed to find a new source of processing equipment. This time, they came to the island in a private manner to find out if there were any capitalist revisionist countries willing to provide equipment.

This time, two people from the Department of Surgery of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill also came. The factory was originally developed based on the steel mill of the Lou family before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The steel mill had given Lou Jinyu a hidden stake for a period of time. These two people were quite familiar with Lou Jinyu. Section Chief Sun Dehui found Lou Jinyu and said

"Boss Lou, the Hong Kong police won't let us into the island now. Do you have any suitable solutions since you have so many connections?"

Lou Jinyu was not in a hurry. He had already contacted the Lou family's branch in Hong Kong Island, his second brother Lou Jinhuai, before he came. However, instead of taking the initiative to arrange it, it would be better to let them come to him to ask for help. This way, he could also get a favor. Lou Jinyu nodded and said

"I do have some connections in Hong Kong Island, but I don't know if I can still use them."

Sun Dehui asked excitedly

"Can you take us to the island?"

Sun Dehui's movements attracted the attention of Secretary Wang, who came over and asked

"Xiao Sun, what's going on here?"

Sun Dehui said excitedly in a low voice

"Secretary, Mr. Lou has some connections here, maybe he can get us in."

Secretary Wang immediately became alert upon hearing this and said

"Boss Lou, do you really have a way to take us into the island?"

Lou Jinyu's actions are difficult to describe

"Secretary Wang, my Lou family did have some connections on the island, but I'll have to wait and see if I can use them."

Secretary Wang nodded and said

"Boss Lou, as long as you can bring us to the island, it will be a great achievement for you. I will definitely ask for credit for you when I return."

Lou Jinyu smiled

"Secretary Wang, you are too polite. It is my duty to serve the country."

As he said this, he took out a small yellow croaker from his pocket, walked forward and shouted to the Hong Kong police officer who was watching him.

"Hello, sir, I have a relative in there, I want to call him, is it convenient for you?"

As he said this, he quietly stuffed the small yellow croaker into the hands of the Hong Kong policeman who was monitoring him. The policeman saw that Lou Jinyu was generous and did not seem like an ordinary person. Moreover, there were indeed many rich piglets from the mainland. He rolled his eyes and thought that it was not against the rules to make a phone call. Besides, as long as the two of them didn't say anything, this small yellow croaker would be worth half a year's salary for the two of them. So he nodded and said

"Only two people can go. I'll give you ten minutes."

Lou Jinyu nodded quickly and said with a smile

"Okay sir, we'll only have ten minutes."

Secretary Wang gave a look and one of the team followed Lou Jinyu and the Hong Kong policeman into the house to make a phone call. Secretary Wang was an old man, so how could he let Lou Jinyu go alone? They had a great responsibility and a capitalist could not trust them.

Lou Jinyu was not surprised to see someone following him. He went into the house and dialed the phone. After a while, the call was connected. Lou Jinyu quickly exchanged the secret code.

"Is it Uncle Wang?"

Lou Jinhuai's old servant understood immediately and said

"Are you Jinyu?"

Lou Jinyu said

"Yes, Uncle Wang, we ran into some trouble at the port, and the police wouldn't let me in. Can you use your connections to get some leeway?"

The old servant said

"Okay, I'll contact him right away, please wait."

Lou Jinyu hung up the phone, lit a cigarette for himself, and handed it to the young man who followed him. The man pushed his hand and refused. Lou Jinyu didn't care and started smoking. After a while, the phone was called back.

Lou Jinyu took the phone and continued

"I have called the Royal Police. It took a lot of effort to get you through this time. Someone will pick you up when the time comes."

Lou Jinyu said with a smile

"Thank you so much, please give my regards to Uncle Wang."

After hanging up the phone, he gestured to go back. When Secretary Wang saw Lou Jinyu coming back, he quickly asked

"Mr. Lou, how is it? Can we go in?"

Lou Jinyu said with a smile

"We have already contacted the Royal Police, and someone will let us in soon."

Secretary Wang breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the young man who had gone with him. After receiving a positive response, he said:

"Boss Lou, you have done a great job. If we return without success, we will not be able to explain to the people at home."

Lou Jinyu said

"What do you need to purchase? Would you mind telling me? I'll see if I can help you get in touch."

Secretary Wang frowned. This was confidential and related to the country's major plans. He was a little embarrassed for a moment. Lou Jinyu had just solved a big problem for them. He could ask Lou Jinyu about this matter. It seemed that he still had connections in Hong Kong.

Seeing Secretary Wang in a dilemma, Lou Jinyu said

"It's not that inconvenient. I just wanted to help you find it. After all, although my Lou family is a capitalist, I, Lou Jinyu, am in China, and we still have some connections here that can be used."

Secretary Wang thought so too. Lou Jinyu's wife and daughter were still in Sijiu City. It was just that someone had asked him to keep an eye on Lou Jinyu before he came. He had sold a lot of things recently, which aroused some people's suspicion. Secretary Wang asked

"Boss Lou, I don't know if I should ask you if you came to Hong Kong Island just to visit your relatives?"

Lou Jinyu said with a smile

"There is nothing to be ashamed of, visiting relatives is one of them."

"You know our Lou family well. I only have one daughter who is already married. I am also approaching fifty. I just want to have a good rest now, but the higher-ups are always worried about us. So I came here this time because I saw that the domestic textile industry is still a little inadequate. I plan to sell some of my property and build a factory for the country. This can be regarded as my contribution to the country. Wouldn't it also earn me some impression points and make my life easier?"

Secretary Wang nodded. This was consistent with Lou Jinyu's recent sale of some of his property. So he said

"Boss Lou, since you said that, I won't hide it from you. You know that our country is short of machinery and equipment, and many factories are waiting for the equipment to start production."

"We came here this time to find some channels that are willing to provide us with services. If you have any ideas, please help us find a solution. I will definitely recommend you for your contribution when I return."

Lou Jinyu frowned and said

"This is really difficult to do. The West has imposed a blockade and embargo on us. Even if we can get some, they will probably be discarded by them."

Secretary Wang said

"It would be best if we can get the latest ones, even if they are obsolete ones. After all, we are also poor and need to develop."

Lou Jinyu said

"Okay, I have some friends who resell this, but the price may not be cheap."

Secretary Wang nodded and said

"We will find a way to solve the price issue. All you need to do is help us find the right channel."

Suddenly a car rushed over and stopped. Two policemen got out and showed their credentials to the dock police on duty and shouted:

"Who is Lou Jinyu?"

Lou Jinyu walked forward and said with a smile

"Sir, I am"

The policeman said

"You can enter the island now, but behave yourself or we will deport you if we catch you."

Lou Jinyu nodded and quickly signaled Secretary Wang and his group to follow, and went through customs to Hong Kong Island.
