Chapter 61
In order to pursue this goal, Weisheng found an excuse to return to Hong Kong.
Compared with Wen Ke'er, Sheng Sinian and Shen Hanchuan, Weisheng is the only one who needs to worry about the family business. In addition, Minsheng's roots are in Hong Kong, so if she uses Minsheng as an excuse, they will not find out anything.
When they arrived in Hong Kong, they heard that Wei Zhensheng also wanted to deposit some gold in a foreign exchange bank, so Weisheng immediately stopped him.
Everyone has gold, so our little bit doesn't matter. If we really want to do something with the gold, we might as well build a temple ourselves, and then put a solid golden Buddha statue in the temple. The believers will worship it every day, and we may benefit from the incense and merit.
Wei Sheng thought the golden Buddha was heavy enough to avoid being lost. He could spend it when he needed it, and when he didn't, it could be used as a tourist attraction to earn some ticket revenue. If he developed some peripheral products, relying solely on the power of faith, he'd be guaranteed to make a profit. But Wei Zhensheng shook his head like a rattle.
The Buddha is sitting and you are kneeling. Can you see that he has blessed you?
Only those who sleep in the martyrs' cemetery, while they lie down, can make you stand up straight. Instead of spending my gold on this, I'd rather build a martyrs' cemetery.
Although business is business and businessmen should put profits first, there is some money that Wei Zhensheng really disdains to earn.
"I never thought the old man had such a high level of awareness."
After giving the old man a thumbs up in his heart, Weisheng immediately turned his attention to discussing the plan of building a martyrs' cemetery with Wei Zhensheng. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhensheng was a little hesitant because it was a public welfare project with no return rate and might require investment every year.
His money didn't come from the wind.
Weisheng: ...I really praised you in vain!
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Although Wei Zhensheng was a little hesitant at the time, he actually started the Martyrs Cemetery project not long after.
The land in Hong Kong is becoming more and more expensive, and labor costs are also increasing year by year. Wei Zhensheng still has two undeveloped plots of land, but because their locations are relatively remote, no plans have been made.
Wei Zhensheng then set aside a piece of land to build a martyrs' cemetery in Hong Kong. On another piece of land, inspired by the Wen Keer Film Studio base and the Grand View Garden in Beijing, he planned to build a miniature Grand View Garden in proportional size.
In the future, the income from the Grand View Garden will be used to offset the expenses of the Martyrs' Cemetery.
After the project in Hong Kong was officially launched, Wei Zhensheng actually bought some land in mainland China and, with the preferential policies of the local government, spent money to build several martyrs' cemeteries.
Some people say that Wei Zhensheng’s money was not well spent and there is no need to build a martyrs’ cemetery in second- and third-tier cities. If it is just for the sake of reputation, it would be better to donate and build a few Hope Primary Schools.
Wei Zhensheng just laughed it off, ignoring it outwardly. But privately, he told Weisheng, "I'm not stupid. Mainland China started implementing family planning in the 1980s. From now on, families can only have one child... Building so many schools will eventually leave them unused."
Humph, who knows who will benefit from all those idle schools in the end. Besides, building a martyrs' cemetery only requires a small investment, and the local government will take over the rest, but the reputation will be his.
Weisheng smiled awkwardly and nodded silently.
Then you are not stupid!

When there were few major events but many minor ones, the gold reserve plan of the foreign exchange bank was not as popular as it was at the beginning.
Weisheng flipped through newspapers and TV news reports and found that the general manager of the foreign exchange bank said in a previous interview that the gold reserves had reached 1.86 billion.
After looking at the date of the interview, Weisheng was sure that it had reached 2 billion by now.
So she found another excuse and went abroad with the two female bodyguards that Wei Zhensheng had found for her earlier years. She then enrolled the two female bodyguards in classes respectively, and she returned to Hong Kong using a fake identity and household registration that she had secretly obtained many years ago.
At that time, I thought that the household registration in Hong Kong was all paper-based, which made it easy to take advantage of the situation. Later, as Hong Kong's technology became more and more advanced, it became more difficult to take advantage of the situation. In order to retain this household registration, Weisheng spent some money to apply for immigration for that household registration and directly transferred his household registration to Denmark.
Now she is returning to Hong Kong using her Danish passport.
After returning to Hong Kong, Weisheng booked a room in a hotel very close to the headquarters of the Foreign Exchange Bank, and then put all his attention on the general manager of the Foreign Exchange Bank.
He installed cameras at home, in his car, and in his office. After that, he often stayed in the general manager's office and stared through the windows of the space.
After keeping an eye on it for seven or eight days, I finally got the confirmed news about the gold transfer one afternoon.
October 21, 2:30 am, Pier 9, Edinburgh cargo ship.
After receiving the news, Weisheng quietly left the office that night and went to Pier No. 9 overnight.
I didn't find the Edinburgh at Pier No. 9. Thinking that today was only October 19th, I wondered if it had not arrived at the port yet.
Thinking that it was still early and he should go back to the hotel to show up and come over tomorrow night, Weisheng suddenly thought of something and his expression changed instantly.
What did she think of?
She thought of a very famous joke in later generations.
It is said that a man bought a plane ticket for a flight at around midnight, but he waited until the evening of that day to carry his luggage to the airport, and the flight he was going to take had already taken off for more than twenty hours.
It was now 10:00 PM on the 19th, and until 2:30 AM on the 21st, there were only about twenty hours left, not the two or three days she had just thought. If she really went back to the hotel and came back tomorrow night... the opportunity would be gone.
Patting his face which had turned pale from scaring himself, Weisheng went to the night food shop near the pier.
She had big, wavy blond-red hair and blue contact lenses, looking completely different. She ordered a family-style plate meal and, at checkout, asked the landlady where she could find out when the ship would arrive.
The proprietress pointed to a small bungalow on the east side of the pier and said there was a sign there with information about cargo ships entering and leaving the port written on it.
Weisheng thanked the proprietress and walked towards the small bungalow without taking the change she handed over.
The sign was large, with a lot of information on it, and it would take some time to find the information about the Edinburgh. Wanting to attract too much attention, but also afraid of misreading it, Weisheng took out his phone to take pictures of the information, preparing to return to his space to slowly sort through it.
Back in the space, Weisheng made himself a cup of coffee first, and then printed out the photos on his phone.
Sitting on the carpet in front of the sofa, he used a ruler to check the information of the Edinburgh one by one. After more than ten minutes, Weisheng finally found the information of the Edinburgh in the lower middle position.
The Edinburgh is indeed not at Pier 9 now, but is docked at Qingyang Pier, not far from Pier 9. It will dock at Pier 9 at 1:00 am on the 21st for two hours, and then set off for the Port of London.
It would definitely not be easy to get on the Edinburgh at Pier No. 9 tomorrow night. If she set off for Qingyang Pier now, it might be easier.
After closing his eyes and carefully considering the feasibility, Weisheng stood up and took out a motorcycle specially purchased for this operation from the space and left the space.
Not long after, Weisheng parked his motorcycle not far from Qingyang Wharf, and then looked for the Edinburgh in the huge wharf.
Standing on the shore, Weisheng used her red thermal imaging glasses to examine the Edinburgh, then used space to quickly move towards it. Although the ship was brightly lit, it was late at night, and there were always places where the lights could not reach. Furthermore, Weisheng had a number of cheating tools, which allowed her to reach the interior of the cargo ship without any obstruction.
There was an instruction map inside the cargo ship, marking where the cargo hold and the living area were. Weisheng was afraid that he would get confused, so he took photos as a backup.
The doors of the cargo hold were child's play for Weisheng, who could be called a mechanical master. He opened them one by one and locked them again. Finally, Weisheng stayed in the innermost part of the cargo hold, a small cargo hold that was the safest but had nothing in it.
She felt that this place was reserved for gold. Staying here was like waiting for something to happen.
…
Weisheng has already made up her mind that it doesn't matter even if this is not the cargo hold where the gold is stored. She has already boarded the Edinburgh and has enough time to find the gold.
She had come at night, and by now it was already completely light. After a night of tossing and turning, Weisheng felt a little sleepy, so he slept in the living room again.
In order not to miss what was happening outside, Weisheng opened the window.
Perhaps something was on her mind, so Weisheng didn't sleep well. Around three or four in the afternoon, she took a shower, then went to the painted world to pick a durian. Then, she set up a small table by the living room window, found some meat and seafood, and grilled them for her first meal of the day, passing the time this way.
At twelve o'clock in the morning, someone came to take a look around the cargo hold, and soon the ship started moving.
As the cargo ship started, Weisheng couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Two billion in gold—the thought of it was shocking. In all her lives, she had never seen so much gold piled up together.
Thinking of this, Weisheng quickly got up and went to the world in the painting.
The furnace and mold for melting gold ingots have been set up over there. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.
Around 2:30 in the morning, people began to enter the cabin carrying heavy metal boxes.
It takes 30 minutes to get to the foreign exchange bank from here without traffic. Plus, the process of opening the vault and loading the gold onto the truck... As Weisheng watched the men bring in the boxes of gold, he mentally estimated when the gold had been shipped out of the headquarters vault.
At three o'clock sharp, the freighter set off on time, but the gold was still being loaded into the cargo hold.
Gold is valuable, but it is also very heavy, so the trucks transporting the gold are driven directly onto the cargo ship and then unloaded from the deck using a forklift.
Because this cargo hold is too far inward, the corridor and door are a bit narrow, so the speed of transportation to the cargo hold is slowed down.
Before four o'clock, the empty cargo hold was finally filled up. Some unfamiliar faces walked around here, locked the door and left.
With a sigh of relief, Weisheng quickly left the space after they left, first took a box into the space, opened it and confirmed that it was gold, then ran out to collect the gold from the space.
To save trouble, except for the first box of gold which was placed in the living room, all the other boxes were thrown into the world in the painting.
Only after the entire cargo hold was emptied did Weisheng consider leaving.
Her previous plan was still to jump off the boat and into the sea. If it was close to Hong Kong, she would then use the kayak in the space to return to Hong Kong. If it was far away from Hong Kong, she would paddle to the nearest island, then take a helicopter to Macau, and then return to Hong Kong from Macau.
But these arrangements were based on how she was going to leave the cargo hold.
Especially when there are people guarding outside the cargo hold.
After rolling his eyes, Weisheng took out a string of firecrackers, lit them and threw them into the cargo hold.
After a series of crackling sounds, the people guarding outside were startled.
The two looked at each other, and hurriedly reported to the leader using the intercom. After a while, the locked hatch was opened.
A group of people came in and were dumbfounded to find that the cargo hold, which had just been filled, was empty except for firecracker debris.
After looking up and down the cargo hold in disbelief, he took a few steps forward in disbelief. After confirming that the gold worth 2 billion was indeed missing, he ran around to tell others.
Seeing that everyone outside the cargo hold had left, Weisheng quickly left the cargo hold...
