Chapter 306: Looting the Island for Waste
The Governor in Hong Kong is the King's plenipotentiary representative and commander-in-chief of the armed forces in Hong Kong. He has the power to appoint members of the Executive Council and the Legislative Council. He can be said to be the emperor of Hong Kong.
As long as he agrees, this matter will definitely pass.
In just two days,
The Hong Kong government issued an order allowing "HD Security Companies" registered in Hong Kong to use light weapons appropriately to protect the safety of businesses in Hong Kong. At the same time, they are allowed to use light weapons when conducting security business for the whole of Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong police have the right to supervise the use of firearms and weapons by security companies. If a security company uses weapons in violation of regulations, it will impose corresponding penalties.
Once this order is issued, it means that HD security will have the right to use weapons legally in Hong Kong in the future.
When many wealthy people in Hong Kong saw this order, they had an idea in their mind. HD Security is the largest security company in the United States, and its capabilities are definitely beyond doubt. Now that weapons can be used legally in Hong Kong, if they hire a few people from HD Security, it will definitely be a great guarantee for their own safety.
Moreover, the people in the HD security company are all tall and strong foreigners, and they look very impressive when they go out.
The only downside is that it is expensive.
A security guard costs $400 a month.
That is equivalent to more than 3,000 Hong Kong dollars. You should know that the current monthly salary of a Hong Kong police officer is no more than about 100 yuan.
It’s 30 times more expensive.
But even though it is expensive, there are still many people calling HD Security's Hong Kong branch hoping to hire security personnel.
HD Security's Hong Kong branch has received a large number of orders before it officially opened. According to current statistics, it will need no less than 200 people, and the number of people coming now is far from enough.
The matter was reported to Lanster, who immediately decided to send more people over and start recruiting locally.
There are many young and strong people in Hong Kong nowadays.
Many of them are from the battlefield. After a few months of training by HD security instructors, they can become qualified security personnel.
By then, their prices won't be that expensive, but based on the fact that they can use weapons legally, there will definitely be people willing to hire them.
In the future, it would be great if we could have a security team of a thousand armed men.
Whether it's the Triads, Sun Yee On, or 14k, I guarantee that none of them would dare to provoke HD security.
......
Sha Tongyi has been very busy these two days.
Although he is a Chinese medicine practitioner, he knows that his expertise lies mainly in medicine and he cannot be considered an expert in Chinese medicine.
But he comes from a family of traditional Chinese medicine.
Medical practitioners value inheritance and also attach importance to communication. Sha Tongyi knows many famous medical experts because of his family background. He got to know several of them who came to Hong Kong from the mainland, and visited several of them after signing the contract with the Hardy Group.
Several of them immediately agreed to join the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Mr. Zhao Weihan is 58 years old this year. His father, Zhao Yunqing, was a medical officer of the Imperial Medical Academy of the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Weihan received family education since he was young and was extremely intelligent. He served as a doctor beside his father, delved into the art of medicine, and gradually became proficient in medical theory. Later, he learned from many masters and became a famous doctor.
Mr. Zhao Weihan is a general practitioner.
Another famous doctor is Mr. Zheng Youqian, who comes from a family of doctors for seven generations. He is 60 years old this year and is particularly good at pediatrics and gynecology.
At the same time, Sha Tongyi also invited his good friend Zhu Qingquan to join. Zhu Qingquan is 46 years old and is from Guangzhou. He also has a family background in medicine. When the Japanese invaded China, he moved his family to Hong Kong. Several of the finished medicines of Sha Tongyi Pharmaceutical Factory were produced by him.
After inviting three people to become the first batch of researchers at the institute, the first project was to study the "magic pill", which is what Hardy called the aphrodisiac.
Because this drug has a huge sales volume and is used to open up the market for wide sales, drugs that are too expensive or extremely difficult to find cannot be used.
This request was actually nothing to them. After some discussion, a few people quickly formulated a patent medicine.
The main medicine is Epimedium, supplemented by other medicines.
What remained was how to make it into tablets. After two days of hard work by Sha Tongyi and Zhu Qingquan, they finally produced a batch of tablets.
Sha Tongyi excitedly took the new medicine to Hardy and said excitedly: "Mr. Hardy, the fairy pill is produced. Here is the finished product. Take a look."
Hardy took the glass bottle, which contained about 20 pills. He poured one out and placed it in his palm, and found that the pill was green.
"Why is it green?" Hardy asked.
"No pigment is added. This is the color when it is produced. Doesn't Mr. Hardy like this color?" Sha Tongyi asked.
"No, it doesn't matter."
The little blue pill and the little green pill are really the same.
"How's the effect?" Hardy asked.
"This hasn't been tested yet. I just came here to show you after I made it. But after we mixed it together, we are still confident in the effectiveness of the medicine." Sha Tongyi said.
“We have to find someone to try it.”
Hardy thought about it and called Victor, asking him to contact the Triad to see if he could help find such a person.
"Boss, how many people do you need?" Victor asked.
"At least 20, 10 of them are not good, and 10 are just average."
I have to say,
The underworld is the best at doing this kind of thing, and soon Victor called back and said that the Triads were ready.
"Boss, do you want to see it yourself?" Sha Tongyi asked.
Hardy thought it was interesting and decided to go and see for himself. The convoy arrived at a nightclub in Hong Kong Island, which was a triad business.
The entrance to the nightclub.
Li Chunshan brought a group of people to greet Hadi.
"Hello, Mr. Hardy." Li Chunshan was very respectful, after all, he was now relying on others for food.
"Haha, you're welcome. According to Yizhen, I have to call you uncle." Hardy said in Chinese.
"I dare not, I dare not." Li Chunshan didn't dare to accept the title of uncle casually, after all, his status and position were there.
Start experiment.
It was impossible for Hardy to go and see it in person, so Sha Tongyi and others were in charge of it. Li Chunshan invited Hardy, Victor and others to come to the manager's office, made some tea and sat down to chat.
Hadi took a sip of tea and asked casually, "What does the Triad mainly do?"
Li Chunshan was a little embarrassed. "They are all some businesses that are not worthy of being shown on the stage. I run nightclubs, casinos, restaurants, and sometimes I help people run errands."
Hardy understood that it was nothing more than businesses like prostitution, gambling, drugs and smuggling.
"Have you ever thought about doing other business?" Hardy asked.
Li Chunshan was stunned.
"Other business, Mr. Hardy?"
“It’s a legitimate business, of course.”
Hardy didn't say legitimate business, he just used the word legal.
Although Hadi has connections with the Hong Kong government and has HD security on the surface, and is also preparing to cultivate strength in the police force, he feels that these people still play a big role in dealing with gangs, especially in Hong Kong at this time.
Most of the Sun Yee On and the Number Gang were former members of the National Army. Hadi was not interested in them. The Triads belonged to the Hongmen and had business dealings with him, so it would be most appropriate for him to win them over.
"There are many businesses, including taxi companies, bus companies, a film company, and several cinemas. I am also planning to open a casino in Macau, and I will need someone to help look after it. Aren't these all businesses?" said Hardy.
“We can invest together to set up a company to run these businesses.”
Li Chunshan was a little excited when he heard it.
No matter which of these is successful, they are all big money-making deals, so he is naturally willing to do it. But to be honest, although their triad has a lot of people, they really can't come up with any money. From the businesses that Hardy mentioned, you can tell that the investment is not small.
"Mr. Hardy, we are of course willing to do business with you, but we can't afford much money." Li Chunshan said helplessly.
"It's okay, business is done bit by bit. You and Victor will discuss the details later. As long as the business is suitable, we can cooperate." Hardy said.
"Okay, Mr. Hardy, I'll go back and think about it carefully." Li Chunshan said.
When they talk.
Experiments are underway elsewhere in the nightclub.
Twenty selected guys took drugs and walked into the rooms, each with a woman.
I have to say.
The elixir prepared by Sha Tongyi and his team is really effective.
It wasn't long before the nightclub room was filled with noises.
Sha Tongyi led the researchers to take notes. This was a scientific experiment and had to be done rigorously. They recorded each person's reaction time after taking the medicine, the effect, and the final duration of the treatment.
More than an hour later,
All results are available.
Sha Tongyi came to Hadi with some excitement, "Mr. Hadi, the statistical results are out, the efficiency is 95%, only one person has no effect, but that guy smokes a lot of cigarettes, a big man has lost weight to only 80 pounds."
"Of the remaining 19, two reached the level of peeling a banana, 11 reached the level of a banana, and six reached the level of a cucumber."
The so-called levels are divided into four levels: tofu, peeled banana, banana, and cucumber. The metaphors are very vivid and easy to understand.
"It ranges from 21 minutes to 55 minutes."
"Before the experiment, we examined these people and found that they were indeed weak. From the current statistics, we can conclude that these people have achieved very good results after using the drug, and have fully achieved the desired effect."
Hardy understood.
The drug was a success.
"Haha, then let's start mass production." Hardy said with a smile, and then looked at Victor, "You can place an order for the Chinese medicine we need according to the needs of the pharmaceutical factory."
"I understand, boss." Victor knew that the boss was referring to the north.
The experiment was successful, Hardy said goodbye and left. Li Chunshan accompanied him downstairs and only went back after watching Hardy's car disappear.
Sat in the lobby and had a sip of wine.
"What kind of business should I do?" Li Chunshan murmured, touching his head.
Li Chunshan was extremely happy to be able to cooperate with Hardy, but those businesses required considerable initial investment, and he was now short of funds, which was his biggest problem.
Since he couldn't think of it himself, he asked others to think about it together. He immediately called all his managers to a meeting.
There were more than twenty people in the living room.
They are all his subordinates. Li Chunshan said, "Today I had the honor of meeting Mr. Hadi, the big boss of the Hadi Group. Mr. Hadi said that we can cooperate in business."
"But he is a big boss. There are hundreds of companies in Hong Kong, not to mention American companies. We have very little to show for it."
"Boss Hardy mentioned a taxi company, a bus company, a movie company, building a cinema, or opening a casino in Macau."
"To be honest, they are all good businesses, but we lack capital. I was thinking about whether there is any business that requires little investment and can make money, but I couldn't think of it after thinking for a long time, so I asked you to come together and think of a solution together."
When Li Chunshan's men heard this, they were all excited.
Willing to make money.
Working with a big boss like Hardy will definitely make you a lot of money in the future.
Everyone started talking at once.
"Boss, let's build some high-end nightclubs, bars, and saunas. We will definitely make money," someone suggested.
"I have thought of this a long time ago, so you don't need to tell me. But opening a good stall also requires investment." Li Chunshan said.
"Boss, I saw in the newspaper that Mr. Hardy owns a shipping company. Why don't we borrow a few ships from Mr. Hardy?" another manager suggested.
"What do you want to borrow the boat for?"
"A few days ago, I heard from a cousin who came here that the inland routes have been cut off and boat tickets are in short supply. Many people want to come here but don't have the means to do so. We can borrow a few boats to bring people here. We will definitely make a lot of money this time."
Li Chunshan frowned.
This business is equivalent to smuggling.
It should be very profitable.
"Mr. Hardy wants to cooperate on a legal business. What do you want me to say about this business?" Li Chunshan said unhappily.
The people here,
Most of them have low education.
For a moment, I really couldn't think of any business that was suitable for them.
At this time, a young man sitting in the back said, "Boss, I have an idea."
"say."
"I once went to Dongsha to dig seaweed by boat. I passed many islands. On those islands, there were many guns and ships left over from the war between the Americans and the Japanese. Some people secretly went there and picked up a lot of things."
"They also saw a lot of aircraft and cannons, stranded warships, landing craft, and other things on the island. I heard there were also arsenals and warehouses on the island."
"Now the island is under the control of Americans. Mr. Hardy's company is an American company. If you can lend us a cargo ship flying the American flag, we can bring the scrap iron and copper from the island over. We can sell them for a lot of money. And this is a zero-cost transaction. We don't need to invest a penny."
Li Chunshan blinked.
Will this business succeed?
