"Xiaoyu, this is the last time I'm taking out gold. I've taken too much, and I'm worried that our men will become suspicious. It's not safe for either of us either! From now on, we can't use gold when we're short of money."
However, I still have a box of colored diamonds. If we ever run into a cash shortage again, we can just go to an auction house and sell the diamonds to get the money!
"Qingqing, you really can't stand seeing no money in the bank?! Gold holds its value better if you just leave it there, but if you deposit it in the bank and exchange it for Hong Kong dollars, it might depreciate in just a few days."
The current economic climate in Hong Kong isn't great, but it's not bad either. The companies I've started are all very promising, so we shouldn't be short of money anymore. As for the colored diamonds, you should keep them; you can have custom-made jewelry for yourself later.”
Lin Chengyu was well aware that Song Ziqing had acquired a great deal of gold and silver jewelry in Shanghai and was certainly not short of money. The gold she was taking out now was just a drop in the ocean compared to the amount stored in her ring space.
The two finished school early. Song Ziqing went straight back to her room to study, while Lin Chengyu planned to take Zhang Yifeng to Song Ziqing's office in a commercial building in Central to hold a meeting.
Lin Chengyu has now rented that floor outright as offices for various companies, and the rent has been handed over to Li Yong to manage.
Li Yong was also helping Song Ziqing find good land and houses, planning to help Song Ziqing spend all of the bank's working capital.
Meanwhile, Li Yong is also overseeing the construction of the villas on Taiping Mountain. The villas on the mountain are currently undergoing inspection. After the inspection is completed, a professional architect will help design the villa plans. It may take another year before they can move into their new villas.
"Being able to avoid auctioning colored diamonds means we have enough working capital, which puts me at ease. By the way, Xiaoyu, have you already guessed the origins of the gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques in my ring space?"
Song Ziqing hadn't thought that much about it before, but now that she had taken out gold twice in a row and Lin Chengyu remained very calm, she guessed that this guy might have already discovered her differences and knew about the two good deeds her predecessor had done.
However, she still hadn't considered that the reason she had transmigrated was also because of Lin Chengyu's blow with that black stick.
She guessed that Lin Chengyu only connected the memory of Wang Dagang and his group to the previous incident where the warehouse treasures were stolen. During that time, the area was in chaos because of Wang Dagang and his group, and everyone in Shanghai knew that Wang Dagang and his group must have lost some valuable treasures.
Lin Chengyu calmly replied, "Yes, I guessed it too. Many people know about the things Wang Dagang and his group are doing in secret. In particular, I've always been in the scrap metal business, and my people have a lot of information channels. They also know that they have a courtyard in the suburbs that is used to store the good stuff they've confiscated."
Those valuable items will be taken away after a while, and we'll never know who takes them or where they go. I've heard some are foreign businessmen, and others are from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Upon hearing this, Song Ziqing looked at Lin Chengyu and suggested, "Xiaoyu, why don't we buy a few ships and do some shipping after we settle down in Hong Kong? In the future, we can learn from those people in Shanghai and go to the mainland to buy up those antiques and jewelry that mainlanders don't care about at the cheapest prices."
Hong Kong has limited land and a large population, making it inseparable from maritime transport. Once we have stable grain supplies, we can also develop food-related industries, covering all aspects of life from clothing and food to housing and transportation. As more people join these industries, we can move towards high-end industries.
Lin Chengyu actually admired Song Ziqing a lot. Although she didn't want to go into business and had no experience in it, her vision was unparalleled, even compared to someone like him who had been reborn.
He may have read far more books and possess far more knowledge than Song Ziqing, but Song Ziqing is superior in that he has traveled far more paths than he has.
As the saying goes, "Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles!"
In her previous life, Song Ziqing traveled far and wide, leaving her footprints in every country around the world.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. You'll be in charge of everything in our family, Qingqing. I'll do whatever you say! From now on, our company will be called Songlin Group. Your surname will come before mine. You're the eldest in our family, so I'll listen to you. You're the head of the family and a major shareholder in the company!"
At this moment, listening to her suggestions, Lin Chengyu's still unclear business plan became more and more mature. Clothing, food, housing and transportation, as well as media companies, cosmetics companies, security companies, and Filipino maid companies, etc., can all be gradually developed.
The existence of security companies will provide a guarantee for everyone's future development and growth in Hong Kong. As Filipino domestic helper companies develop, they will have more information channels in Hong Kong. As other companies develop, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu will become the uncrowned kings of Hong Kong.
"Alright, it's getting late. Don't you have a meeting at the company? Hurry up and go. Come home early after the meeting!"
Seeing that it was getting late, Song Ziqing kicked Lin Chengyu out the door.
Lin Chengyu obediently took the Bentley directly to his office in Central. Nowadays, most buildings are only a few floors or ten floors, and the tallest is no more than twenty floors.
The Songlin Group was located on the top floor of the building. Lin Chengyu was sitting in the conference room of his office, waiting for people from various companies to come for a meeting.
The cosmetics factory is now under construction, and the security company's training grounds have also been built. Most of the security guards live at the training grounds and train every day to improve their physical fitness. Even Lin Chengyu trains with everyone for an hour every night after get off work before going home to rest.
The Filipino domestic helper company has now been established. The company is located in a tenement building that Song Ziqing bought, and they have set aside an entire floor as everyone's workplace.
Although the environment of the tenement buildings was not good, for these refugees who had fled here and had no fixed abode, the tenement buildings were like paradise on earth.
After all, the tenement building that Song Ziqing bought was located on the edge of Central. Although it was not in the center of Central, it was still a bustling area of Hong Kong.
Song Ziqing bought these two tenement buildings because she was interested in the land beneath them. Given the price and location, she managed to get them for a bargain.
