"Okay, we'll sell it to you for 8,000 taels, make a friend, and have long-term cooperation in the future." After He Xian finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand.

The two shook hands to express their cooperation.

Next, of course, it’s time to talk about money and specific cooperation.

The gold is delivered in batches and must be paid within one month, with both money and goods being paid.

Since Lin Zhichao was not ready yet, it was almost up to him to pick up the Yangtze River Bank account whenever he wanted it.

The price is also good, 435 Hong Kong dollars per tael, which is a full 40 HK dollars per tael cheaper than the gold and silver trade market. However, considering transportation and the risk of gold rising and falling, this price is also reasonable.

For Lin Zhichao, there is another advantage, that is, getting rid of the impression of high-profile inhalation.

Back in Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao came to Jian Dongpu's office again.

"Mr. Jian, the Bank of East Asia should have a trustworthy smuggling ship from Hong Kong and Macao, right?" Lin Zhichao said directly without being polite.

Jian Dongpu nodded immediately and said: "It cannot be said that the Bank of East Asia has a smuggling ship that it trusts. After all, the Bank of East Asia is not speculating on gold, it is just a small attempt. I do know this channel and can introduce it to you. Don't worry."

These big families are really deep-rooted, and shipowners like this don't dare to be traitors. Once they are found out, they will only become the loser.

Lin Zhichao said happily: "Sure enough, I have difficulties. There is nothing wrong with asking Mr. Jian! I plan to buy 8,000 taels of gold this time and then mortgage it to the Bank of East Asia. If I want a loan of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars, it will be for half a year."

All loans from Changjiang Real Estate have been paid off;

Cheung Kong Industrial has the ability to repay its loans;

Yangtze River Bank's loans and gold have risen well.

Therefore, Lin Zhichao is still the best and most reputable borrower.

8,000 taels of gold, worth a full 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars, Lin Zhichao only loaned more than 40%, which is not excessive.

Jian Dongpu asked curiously: "You don't speculate in gold, but plan to invest in the long term?" After all, the gold is mortgaged in the Bank of East Asia. If it is sold, it will definitely need to repay the previous loan and then return it to the Yangtze River Bank.

Lin Zhichao said confidently: "Within half a year, I will quit gold speculation and seek development in real estate and shipping."

Jian Dongpu lamented Lin Zhichao's unrestrained imagination and flexibility in business. Originally, real estate was very profitable, so he went to speculate in gold; now that gold is making money, he said he would quit soon and go to do shipping.

If it's right or wrong, he thinks it's right at least for now. Although housing prices in Hong Kong are high, low prices are also high, so the profit margin is no longer large. Unless it is used for long-term rent collection, it will be slower to recover the capital.

"If you do shipping, our Bank of East Asia will not support you!" Jian Dongpu said.

This is the consensus of all bankers, that is, they cannot lend money to ship owners because the risks at sea are too great.

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "It's just a small try. I won't put all my eggs in one basket."

"Okay, you are right to have this idea. If you succeed in gold speculation this time, you should consider stabilizing it. To be honest, your industry is the zipper industry that I am most optimistic about. I don't worry about lending money to Yangtze River Industry at all." Jian Dongpu said.

.

Even if he lends money to Yangtze River Bank, he only dares to lend 40% to 50% for the sake of Yangtze River Industries. As long as he feels that there is potential in the industry, even if it is twice the capital, he can make up his mind to lend money.

Lin Zhichao nodded. Jian Dongpu reminded him like this, which can be regarded as a deep relationship between the two. Of course, whether Lin Zhichao will do it is another matter, but it is still enough to save face.

In the end, Jian Dongpu agreed to Lin Zhichao - mortgaged 8,000 taels of gold and obtained a loan of 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

As a result, Cheung Kong Holdings owes Bank of East Asia 2 million, and Cheung Kong Bank owes Bank of East Asia 2.5 million.

However, Cheung Kong Holdings now earns about 300,000 Hong Kong dollars per month and has begun to repay the loan from the Bank of East Asia in batches. It is very powerful.

As for the Yangtze River Bank, it is fully mortgaged to the Bank of East Asia for 12,160 taels of gold (assuming the mortgage is 8,000 taels this time), which is considered safe.

Ten days later.

In an underground gold melting point in Omen, the Lee Shau Kee brothers were leading two Yangtze River Bank workers to count the melted small gold bars piece by piece, and then put them into two boxes.

"Xue Sheng, it's time to go!" Li Zhaoji said to Xue Junshan at the door.

"Okay, Shopkeeper Li." Xue Junshan said calmly.

At this time, Xue Junshan had guns and grenades on him, and was specifically responsible for protecting the Lee Shau Kee brothers in transporting gold to the dock. Later, Xue Junshan met Li Gaofu on the smuggling ship and headed to Hong Kong together.

Over the years, he felt that his boss personally cared about his family's residence and sent his son to study. He often thought of repaying his boss's kindness to the death. Therefore, he made up his mind to escort the gold this time - who dares not to be wise?

Just fight to the death.

This team is all people trusted by Lin Zhichao. The financing point of Aomen is the Li brothers, plus two employees of the Yangtze River Bank; the smuggling ship was introduced by Jian Dongpu, equipped with arms, and also escorted by close associates such as Li Gaofu and Xue Junshan; it arrived in Hong Kong

Later, Lin Zhichao drove to pick them up personally, and then placed the gold at the residence in Lam Tin Yayuan.

Originally, I planned to transport the goods several times to share the risk, but Lin Zhichao thought that it would be unsafe if the goods were transported more frequently. So the transport was divided into five nights, with an uncertain time.

It is transported once every night, totaling 1,600 taels of gold (60,000 grams, Hong Kong system makes 37.5 grams per tael).

At night, the speedboat was driving on the sea, not too fast.

Although it can reach a speed of 40 knots, it is night and other safety is also important.

"Li Sheng, let the brothers relax! After all, you have transported goods to the north, and you have never seen any big scenes!" Captain Wang Hai said with a smile to Li Gaofu next to him while driving.

But Li Gaofu said: "Wang Sheng, that's different. If you are transporting to the north, if you encounter the G navy and are killed by a few cannons, it will be easier. Anyway, you can't fight against the Lord of Hell. But if you take this road, I heard that it is difficult for the devil to do it.

"Tangled."

Wang Hai laughed 'haha', and then said: "Don't worry, I have run so many times a year, and I have never encountered Datian Er. Even if I did, he can't outrun us. I am better than anyone else on this road."

familiar."

When Li Gaofu heard this, he did not refute. In any case, he was doing something for Lin Zhichao, and it was very important to do it well.

Two hours later.

At the Sai Wan Pier, Lin Zhichao picked up Li Gaofu, Xue Junshan and others who came ashore.

"all the best"

"good"

Without any nonsense, the two cars started quickly, carrying everyone and two boxes of gold, and drove to Happy Valley.

When we arrived at Lantian Yayuan, we arranged a car to take everyone home. Lin Zhichao returned to his home carrying a box on each side.

1,600 taels of gold, if converted into mainland measurement, is 120 catties, while Hong Kong measurement is 100 catties (1 catty is 600 grams).

Therefore, 8,000 taels of gold is not a lot. The reason why it was smuggled into five times was purely from a security perspective. It was not the safety of people, but the safety of Lin Zhichao’s gold. In addition, Omen Financial also takes time.
