Chapter 383 Rebellion against Tiangang
Chapter 383 Rebellion against Tiangang
The Fok family mansion on Sassoon Road, commonly known as the Stone Manor, is close to Queen Mary Hospital and Victoria Bay and is a famous high-end residential area.
Yin Zhaotang followed the maid who had combed her hair to a terrace in the manor, where he met a business tycoon in his sixties wearing a suit.
Compared with the portraits that often appear in newspapers, the real Huo Sheng is rather thin, with a pair of eagle eyes, looking fierce. Even with a smile on his face, he is still intimidating, and his every move is full of majesty.
It was the first time that Yin Zhaotang met someone who looked intimidating without even getting angry. He walked up to him, shook his hand, and sat down to drink tea.
Huo Sheng leaned against a rattan chair, crossed his right leg, and looked calm. When he learned that Yin Zhaotang had obtained the arms license, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yin Sheng is really daring and courageous. He went all the way. He is very courageous!"
"The arms business is not easy to do. The share of mainland military exports in the world is too low, less than 5% of the market share."
"But I like ambitious people!"
"In the future, small batches of goods will go directly to the containers of Xinde Shipping. For large batches of goods, I will ask my secretary to find Dong Sheng, a public company of Orient Overseas Container Line and Global Shipping Line, to help prioritize the allocation of cargo ships."
"See where the order is going and then find the most suitable ship."
Yin Zhaotang, as a junior, quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Huo, I'll use tea instead of wine, and drink it."
Huo Sheng held the gentleman's stick in his left hand, brushed it across his right hand, and said with a smile: "We are all family, no need to be polite."
"I grew up on the sea and know many people in the shipping industry. It's a piece of cake. But if I sell and transport goods and rent ships from outsiders, I'm afraid I'll have to sign a huge guarantee."
"It's fine to solve a temporary problem, but it's not a long-term solution."
Yin Zhaotang nodded in agreement: "I will start my own shipping company as soon as possible."
Huo Guantai raised his teacup and nodded, "Then I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money every day."
Half an hour later.
A family nurse came to check on Mr. Huo, and he left under the nurse's care. The eldest son of the Huo family, Zhengting, sent Yin Zhaotang out of the mansion.
According to the Qing Dynasty Law, Huo Sheng legally had one wife and two concubines. His principal wife was a feudal marriage arranged by his mother, his second wife was the result of a free love relationship, and his third wife was remarried after he became rich.
He had ten sons and three daughters in total. The first son was named Zheng, the second son was named Wen, the third son was named Xian, and the first daughter was named Li.
Since his wife was a partner who shared hardships with the family when they were poor, Huo's say was concentrated in the hands of the three sons from the first wife. The eldest son went into politics, while the second and third sons went into business.
After leaving the Huo family, Yin Zhaotang got into a luxury car and headed straight to Tai Po District.
As far as I can remember, Mr. Huo was in poor health in his later years. It seems that he had cancer in 82, but it was not announced to the media.
Huo Zhengting waited for his father to finish the treatment, then went in to support him and reported in a low voice: "Dad, the person has been sent away."
Huo Sheng's hands were weak as he slowly put on his shoes. He whispered, "It would be beneficial to cooperate with him more if there is a chance."
"Wouldn't it be bad to be associated with Young and Dangerous?" Huo Zhengting looked cautious and didn't take it seriously.
Huo Sheng said slowly: "It doesn't matter where a hero comes from. Don't look down on others."
"I see."
Huo Zhengting agreed verbally, but he still disagreed in his heart.
Without even a decent shipping company, they dare to engage in arms business. To put it nicely, they are courageous, but to put it bluntly, they are ignorant of the world.
Without the help of the Huo family, he wouldn’t be able to pass the first level!
When the Rolls-Royce stopped in front of Huang Ji's auto repair stall, the car god Dabu Niu was squatting in the stall with several of his brothers and sisters, eating hot pot.
Two mechanics wearing gloves, who were lying on the front of the car, saw the familiar luxury car coming to their door. They decisively stopped what they were doing, walked out and greeted, "Brother Tang!"
"Brother Tang!"
Dabu Niu quickly pulled out a tissue, wiped his mouth, walked out quickly, opened his arms generously and shouted, "Atang, I missed you so much."
Yin Zhaotang didn't hug Da Pu Niu, but hit him in the chest with his fist and laughed, "Chao, do you miss me or my money?" Da Pu Niu held his chest, pretending to be in pain, grinning, "I miss both, boss!"
Several small leaders of the Number Gang stood behind the big boss and called out in unison: "Brother Tang, Brother Tang!"
Yin Zhaotang said: "I'm sorry, I'm here to make money from you today, not to buy you a car."
Dabu Niu felt somewhat disappointed, but his expression remained unchanged as he patted his chest and said, "Welcome. If you can ask me to pay, it must be a good thing!"
The tactful henchman quickly moved a chair and bowed to invite Shenxiantang to sit down.
After Yin Zhaotang sat down, he opened a bottle of beer and clinked the bottle with Dabu Niu. He said directly: "Brother Niu, we are old friends, so I will get straight to the point."
Dabu Niu nodded: "You say!"
Yin Zhaotang said, "I'm short of money lately, so I have a batch of goods I want to sell. They're mainly rifles, grenades, and rocket launchers. They're good quality and cheap, and there's a discount for large quantities."
Dabu Niu was already halfway drunk and a little tipsy. Hearing this, he immediately said, "Wait, wait, Brother Tang, you interrupted me."
Yin Zhaotang said seriously: "They are different. Yours is parallel import, and mine is the real thing."
Dabu Niu didn't believe it: "Pick, last time you asked me to transfer 300 AKs, now you even have rocket launchers? Are you kidding me, are you too lazy to keep the guns and afraid that the police will find them, so you want me to buy them back?"
"30% off. Send the rifle to the garage tonight. That's quite a gesture of loyalty!"
Yin Zhaotang was a little angry, slamming the table and shouting, "Fuck you, mother. I'm talking to you about a big project with no ceiling, and you're talking to me about a small business of a few hundred guns?"
"Is there any potential!"
Tai Po Niu also slammed the table, stood up and yelled: "Fuck you, I, Tai Po Niu, am the second in Hong Kong Island, no one dares to call myself the first."
"You are so powerful, are you even powerful enough to be in the arms industry?"
"If you have the guts, get 2,000 AKs and 200 RPGs. My buyer is out of stock."
Yin Zhaotang picked up the cigarette and took a deep breath: "Where are your buyers? Will they be used in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan?"
Dabu Niu sneered, "Brother Tang, you are really an outsider. Doing business is all about the market. I want to sell it in Hong Kong and Macau, but no one will buy it."
"If there is a market in Hong Kong and Macau, I won't be the only one selling it."
Yin Zhaotang thought about it and it was true. No wonder Northern Industries did not restrict the scope of its customers. In an era where economy is the top priority, there is really no need to be too particular about the underground companies under the window companies.
After calling Cheng Shuangfu, he returned to the table and held out his fist: "It's a deal. We can go to Shenzhen Port to check the goods tomorrow night."
Dabu Niu bumped fists with him and sneered, "This is the first time I've heard that RPG will unload in Shenzhen!"
The next day, evening.
Niu Du in Dapu had already played cards with several friends and didn't take Shenxiantang's boasting seriously. Niu Qiang insisted on going to the door and took a big plane to Shenzhen together.
If most of the people on the boat were not his brothers, he would have felt like he was being kidnapped and was in a state of confusion all the way.
When we arrived at the Shenzhen Port, there was no car to pick us up. We called the owner and walked to the container openly.
The "owner" was wearing a gray shirt, a red badge on his chest, and carrying a briefcase. He asked his younger brother to open the container, and found boxes of wooden ammunition with model numbers neatly arranged inside.
An employee of Norinco opened a box, took out a Type 69 40mm rocket launcher, put it on the ground for display, and introduced its parameters.
Dabu Niu looked around, frightened, and shouted hurriedly: "Put it away, boss, why are you watching the goods at the dock?"
Yin Zhaotang squatted down, patted the 40mm gun barrel, and asked, "Brother Niu, just tell me if it's an RPG!"
Dabu Niu was so panicked that he could only curse: "Fuck you, you'll be shot!"
