A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 342: Regent Hotel Meeting

Lin Sanqi was thinking about how to hide it from the jewelry appraiser who had been in business for 60 years. The boss lady thought he was hesitating, so she said sincerely:
"Don't worry, pretty boy. The diamonds I give you are all jewelry-grade. I also have diamonds worth tens or hundreds of dollars in my store, but they are hard to be mistaken for the real thing. If you really want to deceive people, they will be seen through at a glance. It's too dangerous."

Lin Sanqi nodded. Of course he wanted to buy the best and most genuine diamonds. After all, it was quite risky for him to ship the goods to a jewelry store in 1960.

What if there is someone in the jewelry store who is born with a perfect eye and one of them is fake? Then he will be hacked to death.

"Okay, then sister, please calculate for me. Give me 1 diamonds from 5 carat to 500 carats, and 6 diamonds from 10 carats to 100 carats. As for the 20 carats and 30 carats, give me a few of each."

“You need so many?”

Lin Qiang and Dong Qin were both shocked.

"Qizai, you really don't use this to pick up girls?"

"Handsome boy, please don't do anything illegal. If you cheat, this amount of diamonds will be enough to put you in jail for life."

"It's good enough that you're in jail. I'm afraid you'll be hacked to death on the way!"

Seeing the nervous Lao Liu and the proprietress, Lin Sanqi laughed:
"Don't worry, I'm buying this for my African clients. It's none of my business what they do with it. I just make a little profit from the difference."

The lady boss was excited when she heard this. This was a multi-million dollar business, so she held Lin Qiang's face and kissed him, saying in a sweet voice, "You bastard, you're still thinking about me after all..."

Lin Sanqi quickly turned his head away, thinking that his Sixth Brother was truly a talented and romantic man. He wondered how many "Sixth Sisters" there were in this market.

The proprietress thoughtfully gave Lin Sanqi several velvet bags to hold diamonds.

Lin Sanqi traveled back to Hong Kong in 1960 with a large bag of Henan diamonds. Not much time had passed here.

Although it was already October, the temperature in Hong Kong was still quite high. How could an electric fan be as comfortable as an air conditioner? Lin Sanqi thought that after he sold the bricks and stones, he must buy a few air conditioners.

As he was thinking, Lin Sanqi fell asleep.

……

……

The next day, Lin Sanqi took Pan Ye and started traveling as tourists in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's most prosperous Central, Victoria Harbour, the largest amusement park, Lai Yuen, double-decker buses, cable cars to the Peak, and traditional Western cuisine.

The two of them had a lot of fun.

Of course, she didn’t buy any clothes or bags. It’s not that Lin Sanqi was reluctant to spend money, but she really couldn’t use these things when she brought them back home.

During the tour, Lin Sanqi was always observing the jewelry stores on the streets of Hong Kong.

The largest jewelry stores in Hong Kong during this period were definitely Chow Tai Fook and Chow Sang Sang. There were also smaller jewelry stores, such as "Kwai Kee Cheung", which later became the famous Luk Fook Jewellery.

Lin Sanqi has a lot of diamonds to sell. Although it is impossible to sell all of them at once, he also wants to find a strong jewelry store so that he can have the funds to purchase the diamonds.

After searching around, Zhou Taifu was the most suitable person to be the scapegoat.

However, Lin Sanqi was afraid of death, so he didn't dare to go to the door alone to sell diamonds like a lone hero.

Lin Sanqi, who had watched countless Hong Kong movies in his previous life, knew that Hong Kong was a treacherous place and that the gangs were all dogs kept by the rich. He was afraid that he would end up dead on the street after getting the money.

So the necessary makeup is indispensable, and more importantly, he has to be accompanied by a group of bodyguards.

Thinking that he was unfamiliar with Hong Kong, Lin Sanqi suddenly had an idea when passing by the Regent Hotel on Queen's Road East in Wan Chai.

In order to avoid attracting the attention of someone with ulterior motives, Lin Sanqi suddenly pulled Pan Ye to a corner and warned:

"Xiao Yezi, I'm going to the Regent Hotel to meet someone. The country has given me an important mission. This is top secret and cannot be seen by others. So we will pretend to be a couple going to get a room. You have to cooperate with us throughout the process, okay?"

Pan Ye became nervous when he heard this: "Sanqi, is someone following us?"

"No one is tracking us for now, but the hotel I'm going to is next to a sensitive one, so there must be a lot of people watching us. That's why we have to pretend to be tourists and get a room."

Pan Ye became very conscious when he heard this. Having received red education since childhood, he naturally knew that the interests of the motherland were above everything else, even if it meant sacrificing himself when necessary.

"Okay, I get it. I'll do whatever you say."

Lin Sanqi thought, hey, you're so good, I'll get a room later, and then I'll eat you while I'm working, hehe. Lin Sanqi was wearing an imported shirt and trousers, with a camera hanging on his chest and his hair was oiled, looking like a rich young man.

Pan Ye was also wearing a casual suit and had her hair in a ponytail. With her pretty face and bookish air, she looked like a girl from a wealthy family.

This young couple walked hand in hand into the Regent Hotel, looking no different from any other couple passing by, and not at all conspicuous.

The receptionist saw a customer coming, bowed slightly, and asked in standard Cantonese:
"Hello sir, how can I help you?"

Lin Sanqi knew that although this high-end hotel looked ordinary on the surface, in fact all the staff inside were our secret personnel, including hotel waiters and cleaners, in order to maintain maximum confidentiality.

What no one knows is that deep underground in the Regent Hotel, there is a passage connecting to the XX Society next door.

Lin Sanqi also smiled and said, "Excuse me, is there a presidential suite for 8125 yuan 73 cents?"

A middle-aged man who was checking in nearby burst out laughing and muttered:
"Country people, how much money do you have to stay in a five-star hotel?"

The receptionist was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Sanqi meaningfully, and continued to smile and replied in the same tone:

"Sir, you must be joking. Our most expensive presidential suite only costs 2888 yuan."

Lin Sanqi smacked his lips and said, "Can you give me a discount? I plan to stay for a month, and there should be discounts for long-term reservations."

The receptionist continued to smile politely:
"Sir, how about this? I'll have the waiter take you to the presidential suite for a tour. If you're satisfied, I'll have our account manager come over to talk to you about the long-term room rate. How about that?"

Lin Sanqi snapped his fingers and said, "Good idea. Lead the way."

In fact, Pan Ye was so exhausted that she hardly dared to breathe when she saw such a luxurious hotel, but in order to cooperate with Lin Sanqi, she forced herself to remain calm, and Lin Sanqi held her hand throughout the whole process as they entered the elevator.

When we arrived at the presidential suite on the top floor, the waiter said softly, "Manager Qiang will be here soon. I'll be waiting outside the door."

Lin Sanqi stretched out his hand and shook hands with the waiter: "Thank you for your hard work!"

After a while, Manager Qiang Wenwu came over and shook hands with him as soon as he entered the door, saying, "Comrade Lin Sanqi, hello!"

Lin Sanqi was a little surprised: "I haven't introduced myself yet, why did you call out my name directly?"

Qiang Wenwu laughed:
"You don't know that the price you just quoted is the password. Each person has only one set of passwords and they are not reused. So as soon as you quoted the price, we knew who was coming."

Lin Sanqi thought, wow, this is really advanced. The password is only used once, just like the dynamic passwords decades later, it is difficult to find a pattern.

The two exchanged greetings and sat down.

"Comrade Sanqi, I originally thought you would come to see me on the 14th. Why did you come to see me on the third day after arriving in Hong Kong? Has the equipment needed in China arrived?"

Lin Sanqi shook his head:
"The equipment is not a big problem. I have already contacted people and we will definitely be able to arrive in Hong Kong on the 14th. However, I have two things to trouble Comrade Qiang with."

"Speaking!"

"I need a temporary warehouse. When the domestic medicinal materials and jade are delivered to Hong Kong, I will transport them away in advance. I will put the production line in the warehouse, and then you can transport them to the country by yourselves."

"One warehouse, that's not a big problem. I'll get back to you tomorrow. What about the second thing?"

Lin Sanqi said a little embarrassedly at this time:
"The second thing is something personal. I have a batch of diamonds that I want to sell. As you know, Hong Kong is not peaceful. Such a large amount of wealth is likely to attract covetousness, so I want to borrow some people."

When Manager Qiang heard this, he felt relieved. It was just a matter of borrowing some people as bodyguards. This was a simple matter for him.
"I was instructed by the country to fully cooperate with you in Hong Kong, whether it is official or private matters. I wonder how many people you need, Comrade Sanqi?"

Lin Sanqi's mind flashed back to when dignitaries from various countries were visiting, surrounded by a group of men in black suits and sunglasses, so cool.

"Comrade Qiang, can you arrange 20 comrades to go with me? And send a few cars. It would be best if you can bring weapons with you. I am doing a formal transaction and will leave after the transaction is completed. If nothing unexpected happens, I will not cause any trouble.

I will be carrying a large amount of cash or gold when I leave, so I need someone to protect me. I guarantee it is not a gang fight, there should be no danger, and it will not endanger the lives of our comrades, please rest assured, Comrade Qiang. "

Manager Qiang nodded and said, "Come out and accept the mission. We are prepared to make sacrifices. Comrade Sanqi, don't worry. I will arrange everything tomorrow."

Lin Sanqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it felt really good to have someone to back him up.

I just don’t know if I can ship these fake diamonds successfully tomorrow… (End of this chapter)
