When the Liberty and Victory entered the port, some people had been paying attention to these two tall cargo ships. When five military personnel got off the ship, someone came to greet them.

"Is that Mr. Victor?" one of the officers asked.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way."

Victor smiled and shook hands with several people.

Before coming, Hardy asked someone to contact Victor and asked him to help deal with things here. Victor received the news that the cargo had arrived and immediately brought people over.

Complete customs clearance procedures.

The catalogue lists supplies such as cloth, cotton, medical equipment, rubber shoes, canned food, machine tool production lines, etc. This is British territory, and weapons cannot be transported here openly, but ordinary supplies are completely fine.

Victor had already informed the Commissioner of Customs in advance, and the procedures went smoothly. The freighter docked at the pier and began unloading. Victor had rented several large warehouses near the pier in advance to store these supplies.

Moreover, this batch of supplies includes not only things ordered by Hongmen in Hong Kong, but also goods ordered by Victor.

Victor has been in Hong Kong for nearly half a year and has gradually understood the situation here. He also opened a trading company and knows what sells well, so Hadi asked someone to give Victor a list in advance, and it is not limited to obsolete military supplies.

What is Hong Kong lacking?

Or what are the surrounding countries lacking?

In Victor's opinion, everything is missing and everything needs to be rebuilt.

After looking through the military supplies list, he did not ask for canned food, clothes, or shoes like everyone else, but instead set his sights on the U.S. military's production line equipment.

Production line equipment for nails, screws, rubber shoes, leather shoes, electric wires, telephone wires, zippers, raincoats, rain boots, umbrellas, etc.

Victor also ordered a large amount of cotton.

After the liberation of Hong Kong, the original industrial capacity has gradually recovered, the original yarn factories began to operate, and many large yarn factories and textile factories in the mainland moved to Hong Kong. At one time, there were more than 300 yarn factories and textile factories here.

But then the problem arose: there was not enough cotton.

Currently, there is only 70% of cotton available for consumption, which is a huge gap. Therefore, the price of cotton has increased a lot recently. As long as cotton is shipped in, there is no problem selling it.

Not only Victor came to greet him, but also members of the Triad. Two middle-aged men came to meet him, and Victor introduced himself. These two were local bosses, so they had naturally heard of Mr. Victor, who had recently become famous in Hong Kong.

Just being able to get enough penicillin made everyone take notice.

"It's Mr. Victor. My name is Li Chunshan, and I'm honored to be the manager of the Triad. I hope Mr. Victor will take care of my business in the future." Li Chunshan said.

"Haha, we are partners, and we make money together." Victor said with a smile.

The two sides exchanged a few pleasantries and talked about the goods this time. Victor had someone give the other party a list and said, "The goods are all here. You can pick them up at any time. There is only one thing, that is, you can owe the first batch of goods, but when you pick up the second batch of goods, you must pay the first batch of goods."

"That should be the case." Li Chunshan said.

......

hong kong island.

A large house.

The two middle-aged men walked into the mansion excitedly, came to the main hall, and asked the guard at the door: "Is the old man ready to rest?"

"No rest yet, come in." A strong voice came from the room.

The two of them smiled and hurried into the house.

Master Situ was dozing in a recliner. He opened his eyes only after the two men pushed the door open and walked into the house. "I'm old and my energy is running low. You guys look so excited. Is there something good going on?"

One of them said, "Master, the cargo from the United States has arrived and the cargo is being unloaded. Here is the list. What do you think we should do with it?"

Li Chunshan said as he handed over the list.

Mr. Situ took the list and looked at it: telephones, telephone lines, radio equipment, medical kits, medicines, glass syringes, sterile cotton, IV tubes, medical equipment, gas masks, steel helmets, engineering shovels, gloves, wire, military boots, cloth, sugar, sleeping bags, wool blankets, duck down quilts, various canned foods, and field army ration packages.

The old man nodded. "Very good. Sell some of these supplies, and secretly transport some of them through other channels, along with weapons from other places."

After returning the list to Li Chunshan, Mr. Situ picked up another thicker list on the table. This list was the list that Hardy and his team sent to the Hongmen. The types of supplies on it were much more than this procurement list.

Mr. Situ sighed, picked up the brochure and looked through it. "I want a lot of things, but my funds are limited. I only raised a part of it this time. Fortunately, the other party let me owe them money, otherwise I wouldn't dare to order these."

Li Chunshan hurriedly said: "Some supplies can be sold here, we can make a profit, and use the money to buy new supplies."

"It's just a drop in the bucket. If I had money, I would really like to buy everything on the list." said Mr. Situ.

"Alas, our country is too poor and weak. If we had so many supplies back then, why would we have let the Japanese invaders torment us for so many years?"

"It's also because I'm too weak. I've only raised more than 10 million US dollars over the years. If I had more money, I could provide more supplies and do more for the country."

"Master, you have done enough." Li Chunshan said.

The old man shook his head. "Not enough yet. All right, go get busy. I guess you will be busy during this period."

Li Chunshan said goodbye and left.

......

Li Chunshan took people to pick up the goods and started selling them in Hong Kong.

He picks up goods in batches, and can only get more goods if he makes money.

The first things to be taken away were various canned foods and field ration boxes. This is Chinese territory, and the Hongmen has more than 10,000 followers. If you count those from outside, there are tens of thousands of them. There is no need for advertising, as everyone here is a salesman.

"Aunt, these are canned beef from American military rations. They are filled with big chunks of beef and taste amazing. A can only costs 2 dollars." A street vendor was selling canned beef to his neighbors.

"Two dollars is too expensive." said the woman.

"Is two dollars too much? This is from the United States. Did you see those two big cargo ships a few days ago? They came down from there."

"Can it be cheaper?"

"Here, this can of luncheon meat is cheap, only one dollar."

Finally, the woman gritted her teeth and bought a can of luncheon meat to try.

There were complete sets of food in the ration boxes. After the Hongmen members received them, they did not sell them directly, but unpacked them all and classified them.

The cans contain American brand cigarettes such as Camel, Lucky Strike, and Marlboro. These imported cigarettes are not cheap in the market and are very easy to sell. One third of the price can be recovered just from these cigarettes.

There were also a lot of people wanting the remaining items, including instant coffee, instant drink powder, matches, soap, towels, chewing gum, chocolate, hard candy, etc.

These can also be sold at a good price.

There are also large quantities of milk powder and egg powder. Few people here buy a large bag, so small vendors also have a way to sell them by half a pound or a pound after unpacking.

At that time, Hong Kong had a population of 1.5 million, all squeezed into a small place. The daily consumption of materials was very large, and these things were almost digested in just a few days. Then they came to Victor with the money to pick up the second batch of goods.

......

Victor was not idle during this period, as Hardy gave him a task.

Over the past six months, Victor has gotten to know many Hong Kong locals. This time, he took the initiative to send out invitations to many Chinese businessmen.

Why are they Chinese merchants?

The business is small.

Big commercial banks may not necessarily look upon it.

Moreover, most of the British companies are also doing this business, so there is a certain degree of competition between the two sides.

The Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong were very confused when they received Victor's invitation. It said that there was business to cooperate with them, but it did not say what the business was. However, for this recently famous figure in Hong Kong, these people still decided to go.

On that day,

There were more than a hundred people coming, and Victor did not invite them to the hotel, but booked them directly at the dock warehouse.

Victor looked at these people and said with a smile: "Everyone, you may have heard that a batch of American goods arrived in Hong Kong recently. The American canned food and field rations sold on the street are from that batch of goods."

These people naturally know about it. Now everyone in the streets and alleys knows about it, and some of them even buy some to try.

"This business is what our Hardy Group is doing. These materials are not only shipped to Hong Kong, but also to more than 30 countries around the world." Victor said with a smile.

These businessmen were shocked and had a higher understanding of the Hardy Group.

"The things shipped in this time are not just those canned goods. There are better things, and they are right here." He ordered someone to open the warehouse door.

These merchants all looked at the warehouse with curiosity.

Everyone walked into the warehouse and found that it was full of batches of machines and machine tools. Victor said, "Hardy Company is willing to cooperate with you. All the equipment here is dismantled from the US military factory, and it is a complete set. Some of the equipment has only been used for three or four years. The performance of the equipment is very good. There are iron nail production lines, screw production lines, rubber shoe production lines, wire production lines..."

Victor mentioned more than a dozen names in one breath, each name representing a factory.

All the qualified businessmen here immediately realized the business opportunities here. After Victor finished speaking, a businessman named Zheng immediately asked: "Excuse me, Mr. Victor, are you going to sell these equipment? How much do you want?"

Victor waved his hands and said, "Not selling, but preparing to find a partner."

"Our plan at Hardy is to find someone to build a factory together to produce materials for sale. These equipment will be included in the investment, and the management will be handled by both companies."

Now people understand, but many people are more interested in this model because it has a bigger advantage, which is to rely on the big ship of Hardy Group.

Victor continued, "Next I am going to talk to Governor Grantham about setting up an industrial zone in Hong Kong specifically for developing factories. There are more than a dozen production lines here, and there will be more in the future. The Hardy Group is involved in hundreds of industries, and any suitable one here can be moved here."

Someone in the crowd immediately shouted, "I am Li Xiaohe, and I am willing to cooperate with Hardy Company to open a nail and screw production company."
