Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 7 Collaboration with Smith

"Dear Zhang, I'm so happy to see you again!" When Smith saw Zhang Chaoyang, he immediately gave him a big hug.

"Haha, I'm glad to see you again too!

I am even happier that you, Smith, have not forgotten your old friend even though you became the director of the political department!" Zhang Chaoyang said half-jokingly.

"How is that possible, dear Zhang, we are old friends!
I am so sad when you say that!" Smith said pretending to be sad.

"Okay, I apologize!" Zhang Chaoyang spread his hands.

"Zhang, what are you going to do next after coming to Hong Kong?" After sitting down, Smith asked impatiently.

“Of course it’s still the old business!

International trade is the main focus, and then we can do some other business.”

"What about other business?" Smith asked somewhat disappointedly.

“Real estate and entertainment industry!
I plan to build a Paramount for Hong Kong, and spend a huge amount of money to construct a luxurious entertainment club, and the name of the club will be Crystal Palace!

Mr. Smith, are you interested in investing? "Zhang Chaoyang naturally understood what Smith meant by the question.

Being an official for thousands of miles is just for wealth.

Few people who come to the Far East are pursuing a career in politics. They have all been exiled to the Far East, so why would they still consider a career in politics?
So, these British people, every one of them, are greedy by nature.

They are also very clear-headed. With money, they can build their network of contacts and possibly make further progress in their careers.

If you are incorruptible and only care about the public interest, you will never be able to make any further progress.

Smith was able to jump from a counselor and a small agent to the current director of the Political Department of the Hong Kong Police Force and a powerful figure in Hong Kong. Was it because of his abilities?
wrong!
He relied on the money he earned from his business partnership with Zhang Chaoyang.

This is also why Smith is so enthusiastic about Zhang Chaoyang.

"Of course I'm interested. How much money would it cost to invest?" Smith asked tentatively.

"I'll give you 5 percent of the shares."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Please introduce two people to me, the Commissioner of Police and the Governor of Hong Kong." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Dear Zhang, if you need anything, you can come to me directly and I can help you!"

"Smith, although the Political Department is very powerful, it is the Police Department that is responsible for public security. If I want to work in the entertainment industry, I should at least burn some incense, right?

I want to engage in real estate development, but some of Hong Kong's current real estate policies are still from decades ago, which seriously restricts the development of real estate.

So, I need to talk to Governor Ge about policy matters.”

"You are right!" Smith nodded.

“Don’t worry, we are old friends, and if there is an opportunity for cooperation, I will definitely think of you!
I am planning to engage in ocean shipping and plan to buy dozens of 10,000-ton cargo ships. If Mr. Smith is willing to invest, I can give up up to 20 percent of my shares.

You can also take out 20% of the shares in the overseas trading company.

However, this investment is not a dry share." Zhang Chaoyang smiled and threw out a sweet date.

"Dear Zhang, ocean shipping is very competitive now and it is not a good business.

And I don't think you can compete with the Flagship Steamship Company and the Taikoo Company." Smith shook his head.

“Smith, you are right about the fierce competition, and it is also true that the Qichang Shipping Company and the Taikoo Company have a monopoly on shipping in Hong Kong.

However, what we have to do is not to compete with them. We have our own trading company and we can organize the supply of goods ourselves.

Now the new regime of the Red Continent has just been established, and the Japanese are licking their wounds. Both countries are in urgent need of a large amount of supplies. Where do the supplies come from and how can they be transported to the two countries? "Zhang Chaoyang said with a faint smile.

"this······"

"Smith, the new regime in the Red Continent has just been established. This is a huge market with a population of 450 million. The materials needed are enormous. As long as we can get a share of it, it will be enough for us to live a worry-free life for several lifetimes." Zhang Chaoyang's voice was full of infinite temptation.

Smith felt his heartbeat quicken and his breathing became rapid.

“Of course, there is no rush for this matter. I have just asked someone to register a shipping company and a trading company. Smith, you can take your time to think about it.

I'll keep the shares for you!

Of course, you can also give part of this 20% to Mai Jingtao and Ge Lianghong.

Let's make money together!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a faint smile.

"Okay, I'll consider it seriously!" Smith nodded seriously.

This is not a dry share, but he has to pay real money to invest. It makes him feel sad just thinking about it.

After that, he promised Zhang Chaoyang: "I will help you make an appointment with Director Mai Jingtao and Governor Ge Lianghong!"

After finishing the serious business, we talked about some light topics and reminisced about the good times in Shanghai.

After lunch, the two left separately.

Zhang Chaoyang sat in the back seat of the car, closed his eyes, and began to review the scene of his meeting with Smith.

Although Smith was greedy, he was still the director of the Political Department after all.

To put it bluntly, the Special Branch of the Hong Kong Police Force is an intelligence agency, and Smith is the Britain's biggest intelligence chief in Hong Kong.

Zhang Chaoyang has always been extra cautious in his cooperation with Smith.

At that time, the Japanese were quite powerful, and the cooperation between the two people was somewhat like banding together for warmth.

Now that we are at Smith's home court, we must be more careful.

He gave Smith shares in the trading and shipping companies, not because he was generous, nor was it to commemorate the friendship between the two men.

But it is to pave the way for what is to come.

Zhang Chaoyang knew clearly that the organization would go to war with the United States next year, and then the insidious United States would unite dozens of countries to launch economic sanctions against the organization, block the sea transportation lines, and list a total of hundreds of embargoed materials.

At that time, it is time to use Smith.

If we wait until next year to ask Smith to invest, even if we give him shares for free, Smith will still take some.

"Ping An, wait a moment and go to Sing Tao Daily to publish a missing person notice.

The content is: Brother Li from Li Ranch, I'm Lao Wang next door! I'm in Hong Kong, please contact me if you see the newspaper! "Zhang Chaoyang opened his eyes and explained to Xu Pingan who was driving in front.

Speaking of the published content, Zhang Chaoyang couldn't help but complain about what kind of weird code the original owner had set.

"Yes!" Xu Ping'an agreed while looking ahead.

"Remember, hide your identity and don't let people know that it was you who posted it." Zhang Chaoyang reminded again.

"I understand!" Xu Ping'an nodded.

When Xu Ping'an was in Shanghai, he was his full-time driver and bodyguard, and was also a team leader of Zhang Chaoyang's action team.
