From this we can see that Mrs. Qiao, the assistant, is indeed responsible for some intelligence work, otherwise, she would not be the one to answer this question.

Fang Lang was indeed very surprised that Zeng John was one of their own. When this young man came in alone to negotiate with them, he had already attracted a lot of his attention. He did not expect that the other party had such an identity.

“I think you’d better re-evaluate his work. It’s best not to let him participate in such vigilance work in the future.

I think he should have reported to you that my British friend Reinhart will indeed recommend him to the Governor's security team. Being able to have such a chess piece by the Governor's side will play a very important role in our future judgment of the situation in Hong Kong.

More importantly, he would be promoted soon. When he left the Governor's Office, he would at least have the rank of Inspector of Police, a position that was very unique among the Chinese in the entire Hong Kong city.

With such a person nailed to the police force, we can use his power to quietly infiltrate the police force in the future. You must not underestimate the Hong Kong City police. In this place where the underworld is rampant, the role that the police can play is beyond your imagination.

If one day you control all the Chinese police in Hong Kong, then congratulations! Whether Hong Kong is in chaos or not will basically be up to you. "

Fang Lang shouldn't have said these words, but he still didn't understand why Gong Wei brought such an important person to be his guard. He felt that the other party obviously didn't understand the importance of the other party's position.

Therefore, he could not help but remind the other party. This time, Gong Wei did not have any dissatisfaction or doubt after hearing his words. Instead, he nodded with a smile on his face and said:

...

...

“Thank you General Fang for your reminder. Xiao Zeng is an excellent comrade, and we have always been very clear about this.

In fact, we have known about his encounter with you for a long time. This time we put him in charge of security work so that he can be responsible for the communication work during your time in Hong Kong City.

At the same time, we don’t want more people to know that there is a private connection between you and us.

So, please rest assured! We will definitely not waste any talent. "

Fang Lang only then realized that in terms of hidden ability, the predecessors in his hometown could be his ancestors. How could they not understand the importance of Zeng John's position!

It seems that I was too reckless this time.

Fang Lang touched his nose embarrassedly, then nodded with a smile:

"No problem. It would be more convenient and covert if Officer Zeng contacted me. After all, most people in the police force know how he and I met.

There will be absolutely no doubt. Then I will take my leave first! "

After saying that, he turned around and shook hands with the two of them again before opening the door and walking out.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao stood by the window and watched Fang Lang go downstairs and walk through the backyard. He seemed to chat with Zeng John at the door of the backyard for a few more words before returning to the tea restaurant next door along the same route.

"Weiwei, do you think what General Fang said will really happen?"

It was not until Fang Lang completely disappeared from his sight that Mr. Qiao could not help but ask his wife beside him.

“I don’t know. At first, I did have some doubts. I wondered if the other party was sent by the Americans to deliberately sow discord between us and Big Brother.

But later I overturned this suspicion myself, because no one would instigate it like this.”

Gong Wei looked out the window in the direction where Fang Lang disappeared, his eyes deep.

Mr. Qiao did not turn around to look at his wife. He also looked into the distance with deep eyes, and said as if he was talking to himself:

"Yes! No one would instigate like this, but if what the other party said is true, then the peaceful environment we have achieved with great difficulty will be broken again.

And this time the enemy will be even stronger!"

Looking back at Mr. Qiao's slightly worried expression, Gong Wei thought for a moment, then looked at him firmly and said:

"What are you afraid of? Although we have never fought directly with the Americans, we have fought Chiang Kai-shek, who was armed by the Americans, for many years. Chiang Kai-shek, who had millions of troops under his command, was defeated by us. Why should we be afraid of a group of American soldiers?

What's more, we have enthusiastic overseas compatriots like General Fang who provide us with selfless help and support. What reason do we have not to stand up and fight them?"

"Well, that's right! We have the support of 400 million people, and with the support and help of overseas compatriots like General Fang, we will definitely be able to defeat these paper tigers of American imperialism."

When Mr. Qiao heard his wife, a woman, express her views with passion and confidence, he, a grown man, naturally could not fall behind.

Although both of them have regained their self-confidence, they also understand the urgency and importance of this matter.

Mr. Qiao hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the sky, then looked at his watch, then turned to his wife and said,

"This information is too important. It's still early, so we shouldn't delay. I will leave immediately and report today's situation to my superiors.

Try to give your superiors more time to verify the truth of the intelligence and make emergency preparations as soon as possible."

As an old soldier, Gong Wei was not a shy person. He nodded directly and said:

"Okay, without further ado, I'll go home now and pack you some changes of clothes, and you leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, the two of them did not hesitate, and quickly cleaned up all the traces in the room, then changed their appearance and quietly left the tenement building from another place.

What happened here did not attract the attention of Hongcheng. Even the MI6 agents following Fang Lang and his companions thought that Fang Lang and his companions just found a special tea restaurant to have lunch as usual.

After leaving the tea restaurant, Fang Lang took the team to inspect the area near Tsuen Wan Pier. As an important trading port in East Asia, the importance of the pier is of course unquestionable.

This is the Global Group, an important part of the global shipping terminal. Unfortunately, most of the docks in the port city are now under the control of British companies, and Fang Lang will have to work hard to get involved directly.

Looking at the ragged laborers at the dock not far away, who, under the urging of a group of gangsters, kept carrying the cargo from the cargo ship down to the dock by carrying it on their shoulders and hands, Fang Lang couldn't help but frown.

It’s not that he couldn’t bear to see the hard work of these coolies, but he was a little worried that when his container terminal was completed in the port city, these coolies might face unemployment.

This gave him a headache. Most of these coolies were refugees who had fled here. If by then, they didn't even have the chance to carry heavy bags, Fang Lang was sure that many of them would be left with nowhere to go and end up on the streets.

Of course, these people are no different from those living on the streets now. Most of them live in the slums of Shek Kip Mei, where the environment is terrible, with illegally built wooden houses everywhere and fires often occurring. In history, there was even a major fire that shocked the whole of Hong Kong and directly left more than 50,000 people homeless.

But even so, they still have a job to support their families! Thinking that his plan might cause tens of thousands of people to lose their jobs, Fang Lang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

However, he is not the kind of person who would give up because of fear. These refugees are still staying here simply because they are close to their hometown. If they really can't survive, they will definitely find another way out.

After figuring this out, Fang Lang began to carefully look at the Tsuen Wan Pier, which was the Kwai Tsing Pier in later generations. The reason why he came here was certainly not just to show off to MI6.

But they really want to invest in building a dock in the port city. However, the time is not now, but to wait until the end of the Peninsular War, because during the Peninsular War, the port city was also affected and was included in the blockade by the Americans twice.

The port city's freight industry once came to a standstill, and this period was exactly what Fang Lang saw as the best opportunity to acquire the wharf from a British trading company.

At this time, there were actually many large and small docks in the port city. The reason why Fang Lang came here was to see why it was this dock that finally managed to break through the siege and continue to stay.

Today I saw that it was indeed a good place, with a natural waterway where ships can dock on both sides. It is completely different from other areas where only one side of the coast can be developed.

In addition, this is not a prosperous commercial real estate area suitable for large vehicles to load and unload goods. Moreover, the land price in Tsuen Wan is much lower than that in Hutchison Whampoa.

Since it was confirmed to be a good place to develop a freight terminal, Fang Lang would of course find a way to take it.

The head of the Global Terminal Company's Port City Branch, who had been waiting here for a long time, came to Fang Lang's side after seeing Fang Lang's convoy arrive.

“Boss, this is indeed a good place to develop a cargo terminal, but it’s a pity that it has already been developed by Swire and Jardine.

I have already approached them, but they directly rejected our purchase request and did not agree to our cooperative development plan. "

The person in charge was a blond American man wearing a suit, with neatly combed hair and gold-rimmed glasses, exuding the aura of a Wall Street elite.

Fang Lang had met the other party before. A few days ago, the other party visited him at the Peninsula Hotel and submitted an analysis report on the port city terminal, which especially mentioned the location in front of him. It can be seen that the other party has a keen eye.

"Really? You don't even agree to cooperative development?"

Fang Lang looked at the busy dock in the distance without even turning his head.

"They mainly disagreed with us becoming a major shareholder, but were very interested in the plan to develop this place into a container terminal."

Hearing this, Fang Lang smiled with a smile. After thinking for a moment, Fang Lang spoke directly:

"How about this! When you go back, make a new plan. Our company will invest in technology and patents, and the other party will invest in land and funds. In the next three years, we will completely transform this place into the largest container terminal in Hong Kong."

"Ah! This may be a little difficult. The situation in the port city is a little tense right now, and they are also waiting and watching. At this time, if we ask them to invest a huge amount of money to build a dock, they may not agree."

The person in charge looked at Fang Lang with some embarrassment.

Seeing this, Fang Lang was not angry. He smiled and nodded.

"It takes time to prepare a plan. We are not in a hurry. They should soon receive news that Hong Kong City will maintain the status quo."

When this was said, the person in charge was obviously shocked. Thinking of the rumors he heard a few days ago, it seemed that the Governor of Hong Kong had talked to his boss. In this case, the credibility of this news was very high.

However, it is not unreasonable for British financial groups like Swire and Jardine Matheson not to get the news from the Governor of Hong Kong! Could it be that the boss has other channels of information?

He soon realized that these things were obviously not his concern.

"I understand, boss! I'll make a new plan when I get back."

“Well, remember, this plan is to put the terminals of Swire and Jardine Matheson together, to promote cooperation among the three parties and to establish a new container terminal management company.

The facilities and scale of the terminal must be built according to the best standards. We can own a smaller share, but we must build it as the largest terminal in Asia."

Fang Lang explained his expectations for the terminal seriously, but his words left the person in charge puzzled, not understanding why Fang Lang was willing to take the smallest share and instead wanted to build this into the largest terminal in Asia.
