Yao Mu was overjoyed when he heard this. Nottingham Jones beside him also reacted immediately and said quickly:
"It just so happens that I have a few Chinese cultural relics at home, but unfortunately I don't know much about them. Since Mr. Fang is an expert in this area, I will give them to you! Otherwise, they will be wasted in my house."
Reinhardt was very happy to see that the others seemed to have found a way to compensate Fang Lang. He couldn't help but ask:
"Fang, how big do you plan to build this private museum? Will there be so many things on display?"
Seeing the expressions of several people, Fang Lang knew that he had laid the groundwork for the situation, so he spoke directly:
“Of course we can build the museum as big as possible! I have plenty of money anyway.
As for the things, I have already instructed my people in Xiaoshi to help me buy those that have been lost overseas in their country.
If the museum still can’t be filled, at worst, we can set up a department in the museum to buy some good things from the Hong Kong market.”
Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu looked at each other after hearing this, and a hint of thought flashed across their faces.
...
...
"I wonder how much Mr. Fang plans to buy in Hong Kong City?"
Nottingham Jones asked first.
Hearing this, Fang Lang chuckled and slowly raised a finger.
Seeing this, Nottingham Jones asked directly:
"Purchase one thousand pieces?"
Fang Lang smiled and shook his head.
Nottingham Jones asked again:
"Ten thousand?"
Fang Lang shook his head again, and revealed the answer with a smile:
"No, I mean to keep collecting as much as you can."
After these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent again. Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu looked incredulous.
Reinhardt was not surprised, but he was a little confused about his purpose. If Fang Lang wanted those two guys to compensate him with some Chinese cultural relics, Reinhardt believed that was definitely not the case.
After all, with Fang Lang's wealth, he would not care about a few cultural relics at all. If you say that he will continue to collect these cultural relics in Gangcheng, he will absolutely believe it.
But what does this matter have to do with the two people in front of me?
What he didn't know was that this matter had a huge impact on these two people. With their identities, they could do things that many upper-class people in Hong Kong were not convenient to do.
And given enough incentives, they might be willing to do whatever it takes. So what can these two do?
First of all, Hong Kong is the only channel for the hometown to contact the outside world for a long time. Many Chinese cultural relics obtained through illegal means will flow out through Hong Kong.
The origins of these cultural relics are complicated. Some were purchased from hometowns, some were dug out from the ground, and even for a long period of time, defeated Kuomintang officials secretly transferred their belongings through the port city.
These are all treasures from my hometown. It would be wrong to just let them slip away.
The identities of the two people in front of him can form a tight blockade network in both the black and white worlds of Hong Kong City. Now Fang Lang tells them that he can purchase Chinese cultural relics forever.
Once the two of them got wind of the news or got hold of a channel for smuggling cultural relics, would they be tempted? The answer is yes. After all, they can repay favors and establish connections with the Fang family. At the same time, they can also make money for themselves. Why not?
As for how they would send these things to Fang Lang's museum, Fang Lang didn't need to worry about it at all. A profitable business would definitely make them actively use their brains and find ways to get these things.
Relatively speaking, the one with the greater advantage here is Chief Chinese Inspector Yao Mu, because he is the one who can actually mobilize the black and white forces in Hong Kong. And since Nottingham Jones heard this information, he can naturally form a natural ally with Yao Mu.
With the support of British police superintendent Nottingham Jones, Yao Mu's actions will surely be smoother.
Yao Mu quickly recovered from his shock. He was not stupid at all and he figured out some things right away. He looked at Fang Lang with eager eyes and swallowed hard.
"Mr. Fang, are you serious?"
Seeing Yao Mu's Adam's apple rolling, Fang Lang knew what he had thought of. He smiled in his heart and said calmly:
“Of course I am serious. If you two can provide a stable supply, I will also let my men purchase it at the normal market price.
If your two friends don't want others to know that their family has fallen on hard times and they need to sell antiques to make a living, we can also keep the source of the goods absolutely confidential and not let anyone know who the seller is.
At the same time, we can also open an anonymous secret account for the seller in our own bank to collect payment. "
Fang Lang's words were equivalent to explicitly stating that it was okay to collect some cultural relics whose sources were not very formal.
Not only did Yao Mu and Nottingham Jones understand Fang Lang's meaning, but even Reinhardt on the side finally understood Fang Lang's intention.
However, he still couldn't understand what Fang Lang's purpose was. Did Gangcheng have so many Chinese cultural relics to collect?
Yao Mu exchanged glances with Nottingham Jones with shining eyes, and then spoke directly without waiting:
"Please rest assured, Mr. Fang, since it is Mr. Fang's business, we will fully support it. In the future, if my friends have needs in this area, I will definitely introduce them all to Mr. Fang's company."
"Haha...Okay, Mr. Yao is a straightforward person. I accept you as my friend."
Fang Lang couldn't help but burst into laughter after hearing what Yao Mu said. This guy was a truly smart man, and he had fully understood Fang Lang's meaning. It depended on his future actions.
When Nottingham Jones heard Fang Lang acknowledge Yao Mudan as his friend, he couldn't help but speak:
“I wonder if Mr. Fang is going to start other businesses besides opening a museum in Hong Kong City!
Although I am of a low status, please believe me, Mr. Fang, I am willing to do my part for Mr. Fang's business."
Looking at the other party's eager eyes, Fang Lang smiled slightly and said casually:
“Of course, I have always been very optimistic about the future development of Gangcheng. Our group company has already started business in Gangcheng, from the initial Fangyuan labor dispatch company and immigration company to the later Fangyuan import and export trading company.
If I remember correctly, our company is also the largest pharmaceutical supplier in Hong Kong. Two years ago, we established the Hong Kong Branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank in Hong Kong.
The future port city will become the largest financial and trading station for our Fang family enterprises in Southeast Asia."
Fang Lang spoke casually, but his words made Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu feel dizzy. Who on earth is this guy? He said he looked down upon companies like HSBC, and they suspected that he was just bragging. But now, when they heard the names of the companies he mentioned, they were instantly confused.
Because they have all heard of these companies, especially the labor dispatch and immigration companies, which transport a lot of refugees from the port city every year!
If it weren't for the group of fully armed guards around them who didn't seem to be faking it, they would have begun to question the truthfulness of the other party's words.
Reinhardt, who was standing by, seemed to have noticed the psychological dynamics of the two people and said calmly:
"You don't have to doubt Mr. Fang's strength. His family's business now spreads all over the world. The European aid plan that the US government is promoting has the participation of his group behind it."
Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu swallowed hard when they heard this. They thought that the young man opposite was no ordinary person, but they did not expect that the other party was so extraordinary. This was no longer just a big thigh, but a golden thigh!
But Nottingham Jones soon realized that these businesses were big, but they were also too big for him to participate in. How could he have the opportunity to show up in front of Fang Lang!
"Mr. Fang, this... this... your business is so big, I..."
Seeing this, Fang Lang knew what the other party meant. He laughed and waved at Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu, motioning them to sit down and talk.
"Haha...Officer Jones is overthinking. I've already said it before, I don't need your compensation at all. If you're really worried, just introduce more businesses to my museum!
If our company encounters any trouble in Hong Kong in the future, Officer Jones can just watch and lend a hand when appropriate. "
As he spoke, he seemed to suddenly think of something, turned his head and looked at Reinhardt:
"I almost forgot. Since Hong Kong City is so important, it is necessary to open a branch of God's Whip here. I wonder if there are any restrictions on the opening of such companies in Hong Kong City?"
Hearing this, Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu still didn't quite understand what was going on, but Reinhardt was startled and quickly spoke out to stop them:
"Fang, the port city is very small, there won't be much danger. I don't think it's necessary for the Whip of God to move in!"
Seeing Reinhardt's reaction, Fang Lang couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said:
“Don’t worry! Although Whip of God is a paramilitary contracting company, our paramilitary contracting tasks are mainly concentrated in Europe, and our Asian branch was just established in Japan some time ago.
We will not transfer too many paramilitary personnel to Hong Kong City, but my idea is to set up a branch company in Hong Kong City, which will mainly be responsible for the security business of some group companies and, if necessary, can also undertake some inter-bank escort tasks. "
Nottingham Jones obviously didn't realize what kind of existence the Whip of God Company was. After listening to Fang Lang and Reinhardt's words, he felt that this question was exactly his strength, so he quickly spoke:
"Mr. Fang Lang, do you want to know what restrictions there are for setting up a security company in Hong Kong? I do know a little about this. If you trust me, you can leave this matter to me. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Reinhardt and Fang Lang looked at each other. Fang Lang looked at Nottingham Jones with a strange look and said:
"Thank you very much for Officer Jones's kindness, but I won't bother you with this matter. It just so happens that I have an appointment with the Chief of Police these two days, so I'd better consult him in person!"
Nottingham Jones's face turned bitter when he heard this. He thought Fang Lang looked down on him and felt a little dissatisfied, so he wanted to continue speaking.
Seeing this, Reinhardt couldn't help but speak directly:
"Okay, Officer Jones, we don't need to bother you with this matter. It's not that I look down on you, but the background of this company is very complicated. If they set up a branch in Hong Kong City, even McIntosh might not dare to make the decision directly. You'd better not get involved."
Nottingham Jones was shocked when he heard this, and looking at Reinhardt's serious face, he felt that the other party was not joking.
I was suddenly curious about what kind of company this Whip of God was. It was a branch company in Hong Kong, but even the Commissioner of Police might not have the power to make the decision. I had to find a chance to learn more about it.
Fang Lang saw that Reinhardt's tone was a bit stiff, and worried that he might hurt Nottingham Jones's feelings, so he couldn't help but come out to smooth things over:
“There’s no rush for this matter, we’ll talk about it later when we have the chance.
It's getting late now, we should go back and rest, let the two officers handle the situation!"
After saying that, he looked at Reinhardt beside him to see if he had anything else to say. After all, he was quite satisfied today. He had eaten at a food stall and watched a gang fight, but he was not dissatisfied with anything.
As for the problem with the Hong Kong City police, he didn't take it too seriously. Even when the two said they wanted to give him some Chinese cultural relics, he didn't care too much because he didn't lack these things at all.
Opening a museum in Hong Kong and asking the two people in front of me to help collect cultural relics is also a random move. It is hard to say whether it will bear fruit in the end!
But he will not give up this idea. If Yao Mu's performance is not satisfactory, he will just find another spokesperson.
