Hong Kong Island: From a small stall to a global supplier

Chapter 177 Certificate of Surrender

"Hasn't contacted the man named Pan yet?" Yuan Song, the leader of Quanxing, frowned and looked at his men.

"No."

"Damn it, it's been two days!" Yuan Song slammed his hand on the table. "Zhu Bi Tong and his men are missing, and there's no news about Pan either. Did they all die at sea?"

"Anything can happen at sea." Hong Haitao said solemnly, "I asked the marine police, they didn't arrest anyone in the past two days, and there was no storm at sea. It must be some other accident. Brother Song, the most urgent thing now is to send another batch of goods back. The goods in the warehouse are running out. If we can't replenish them, we may lose the customers."

"Damn it." Yuan Song cursed, "Call Jiming and ask him to prepare another batch of goods. Let the brothers bring their weapons this time. I don't believe anything will go wrong again."

……

"Uncle Dong, I'm here to see you." Wang Yaotang ran up the stairs, his voice arrived before he even showed up.

"Yaoji." Uncle Lin drew a card and played it. He looked up and saw Wang Yaotang coming up and said with a smile, "Ayao, come to see us empty-handed."

Wang Yaotang laughed dryly. "How can you say there are no gifts? Making money for the club is the best gift."

"That sounds nice, but you still don't take my old bones seriously. Four of a kind." The Bone Picker played a card without even raising his head.

"How could that be? Everyone knows that I respect Uncle Dong the most. Am I not looking for a gift?" Wang Yaotang walked over with a smile.

"Oh, what gift are you looking for?" asked the Fourth Master with a smile.

Wang Yaotang quickly glanced around the room and his eyes fell on the teapot beside him. "I know Uncle Dong likes to drink tea, so I'm asking someone to look for a set of antique tea sets."

"Okay, I'll wait for what you said." Uncle Dong laughed, "It's not easy to get something from this kid."

"You can't say that. Everyone knows that the little god of wealth is the most generous." Uncle Lin looked over with a smile, "Ayao, do I have a share?"

Wang Yaotang grinned, "Of course I have a share. My uncles have taken such good care of me, so of course I have a share."

Several people burst into laughter.

"Are you here to ask about the oil production?" asked Qi Gudong.

"Don't worry, we are new in the industry, and we need to open up channels step by step." Uncle Lin said with a smile: "If we want to ship goods to the Tanka people, we must first contact their bosses and ship to them. The same goes for the restaurants. Once the channels are opened, it will be easy."

"Yes, I know." Wang Yaotang nodded, "Uncle Dong, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

Wang Yaotang glanced at his uncles and said, "The people from the north asked me to help buy some things."

"Pah" the fourth master's hand trembled, and several cards in front of him were knocked over, "You are crazy!"

"Just pretend you don't see anything about smuggling. With tens of millions in profits a year, it's impossible that there's no cost at all," Wang Yaotang said calmly.

Qi Gudong silently put down the card and pushed it out without saying anything. The other people also frowned and looked at each other with ugly expressions.

"Ah Yao, do you know that even if the Hong Kong government knew that we were exiled and caught us, they would not make a big move. They would still talk to us about the law, but smuggling contraband to the north..." Qi Gudong narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Yaotang, "Do you know the Royal Police Special Branch?"

"Of course I know. In name, it is under the command of the Police Department, but in terms of personnel, finance, logistics, etc., it operates independently and accepts the leadership of MI5. It is a spy organization established by them in Hong Kong Island." Wang Yaotang said with a smile: "The members are selected from Chinese who have received elite education since childhood, received higher education in the UK, fully agree with British ideas, and are traitors who put British interests first in everything."

"Their intelligence network is spread across all walks of life. Suspicion is enough. They never talk to you about evidence or law." Ji Gudong said in a deep voice: "It's not that our societies don't want to be patriotic. Patriotism also requires qualifications. He Shengyi is not the Huo family. Once the matter is leaked, we can't bear it."

"So I didn't do anything rashly. I came here to find you uncles. You have eaten more salt than I have eaten rice. There must be a way." Wang Yaotang smiled and spread his hands.

Damn political department.

Negotiations will begin next year, and once the joint statement is issued, the Political Department will immediately enter the process of disbanding.

Of course, Wang Yaotang couldn’t say this now, and he still had to be careful.

"You bad boy, you thought of us at this time!" Uncle Ding said with a dark face.

"You didn't say anything when we were dividing the money, but now you're shouting so loudly." Wang Yaotang glanced over.

"You!" Quick Knife Ding Jie looked unhappy.

"Okay." Gutted Dong picked up a card and knocked it.

"Do it?" Qi Gudong stared at Wang Yaotang.

Wang Yaotang pulled a chair over and sat down. "You should know that the North has a tough attitude towards the Hong Kong issue and that British capital is withdrawing. If you don't submit a letter of surrender, you won't be afraid that the North will come after the society in 15 years to settle accounts."

"At worst, I can go abroad in a few years." Uncle Ding snorted, "What's wrong with Thailand, Canada, and Australia? What can they do about it?"

Wang Yaotang laughed and said nothing.

"Old Ding, shut up." Chi Gu Dong glared at him. "Uncle Dong, don't be nervous, they are not asking us to make a nuclear bomb." Wang Yaotang laughed, "The ultra-low temperature freezing equipment used on ocean-going fishing boats is just a test of our attitude by the North."

"We are just a small society. We don't have access to high-tech secrets."

"Are you sure it's the freezing equipment?" Qi Gudong blinked.

Wang Yaotang opened his hands and clapped, his face somewhat speechless. There were many things he couldn't explain to them clearly.

"What's with that expression on your face?" Qi Gudong's face darkened, and he felt greatly insulted.

"I really want to explain this from the perspectives of history, system, economy, etc., but it will be impossible without a few hours."

Qi Gudong cursed in a low voice with a dark face, but he was greatly relieved in his heart. He really didn't understand. He only knew that the great Huo family had suffered heavy losses under the oppression of the Hong Kong government.

"how do you want to do it?"

"The machine can be produced by Mitsubishi of Japan. I remember it cost more than 300,000 US dollars. Thais, Lijiapo, Malays, and any distant-water fishing company ordered a set. Unfortunately, they encountered pirates during transportation, and the ship and equipment were lost."

"We have no dealings with pirates."

"I know."

"The club just needs to find someone to help order the equipment?"

"Yes."

"What if the pirates leak the information?"

"Impossible." Wang Yaotang said firmly.

Qi Gudong narrowed his eyes and looked Wang Yaotang up and down again, but he didn't ask in the end, "Okay, but don't rush."

“I knew it.” Wang Yaotang laughed, “Hundred years of harmony and righteousness, with a profound foundation.”

"You loser." Qi Gudong waved his hands in annoyance, "Get out of my sight right now."

“Haha, does the society have any branch in Europe?” Wang Yaotang rubbed his hands with a smile.

"What are you doing again?" Ti Gudong asked irritably with his brows furrowed.

"It's business. It's not against the law this time." Wang Yaotang said with a smile: "Purchase cigarettes and red wine."

Qi Gudong was relieved. "The gang doesn't have any, but we know some societies in Holland and Italy. Are you trying to smuggle cigarettes and wine?"

Wang Yaotang didn't say whether it was smuggling or not, "Please introduce me to them."

"It's not that easy. Our power cannot reach that far. The first thing we need to do in smuggling is to prevent the other party from taking advantage of us."

"Ok, I know."

"Okay, if you can find a way to make money, there's no reason for the society not to support you. I'll contact you later and let you know."

"Then it's all up to Uncle Dong." Wang Yaotang stood up with a smile, "It's really okay this time, I'm leaving now."

Qi Gudong waved his hand, looking like he didn't want to say more.

It was not until the sound of a car engine came from downstairs that Uncle Ding asked with a dark face: "Brother Dong, do you really want to help him buy equipment? If something goes wrong, we will all be finished."

"You are already old, can you please use your brain?" Qi Gudong glared at him fiercely, "Going abroad? Without the protection of the society, your old bones will be destroyed if you go abroad."

"Why do you have to buy it yourself? A Yao has already said that it is Mitsubishi's civilian equipment. They must be shipping it frequently. What A Yao wants is the shipping information, so find someone to keep an eye on it and give him the information when the time comes. What a stubborn person!"

"Yes!" Uncle Lin clapped his hands, "Why didn't I think of that."

The fourth master laughed and said, "If you think of everything, then you don't need to be the second marshal."

With just one sentence, the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and Uncle Ding was no longer worried.

"Okay, no more fighting today." Qi Gudong stood up.

"Let's go back." The Fourth Master stood up and said.

Everyone had left, and Chigudong was sitting alone on the third floor. Compared to the refrigeration equipment, he was more worried about Wang Yaotang trying to smuggle red wine and cigarettes.

It's not like he doesn't know that smuggling is profitable, but it's not that simple.
