Chapter 142 Security is in place
In 1960, West Germany was already an economic miracle country in the world. Its economic level had exceeded the pre-war level, its GDP had reached US$725 billion, and its per capita GDP had reached US$1309.
Accompanied by Smith from Hutchison Matheson, Cao Zhihua, Lou En, and Xiaoyu drove past Munich's Königsplatz. The square was surrounded by cars parked, mostly Beetles, but also many of the world's most advanced Mercedes-Benz sedans.
In the car, Smith said:
"Director Cao, we have made appointments with PFAFF, Karl Mayer and Suessen for inspections. They very much welcome your visit."
Cao Zhihua nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Have you decided where to inspect tomorrow?"
“The PFAFF factory will be arranged tomorrow morning, the Karl Mayer factory will be arranged in the afternoon, and the Suesen factory will be arranged the day after tomorrow.
As long as you are optimistic about the product, you can negotiate the purchasing conditions yourself, or we can help you negotiate.
After you sign the order, the rest can be left to us, Hutchison Matheson, and you can just wait to receive the goods on Hong Kong Island. "
Cao Zhihua nodded and said:
"Okay, let's follow this arrangement."
"Okay, Director Cao."
The car drove for a while and arrived at the Adlon Hotel where Cao Zhihua and others were staying.
The Adlon Hotel is one of the most well-known hotels in Berlin.
Cao Zhihua got out of the car and looked curiously at this hotel where celebrities such as William II, Queen Victoria, Roosevelt, Einstein, and Chaplin had stayed.
Every brick and tile of the hotel is extremely fine, implementing minimalist and elegant line aesthetics. The entrance to the hotel lobby is a four-leaf glass revolving door.
In terms of decoration, the hotel uses ebony and mahogany as its walls, ivory and tortoise shell as decoration, and a large number of Italian Carrara marble and French lead glass complement each other.
Walking into the suite he had booked, Cao Zhihua found that there were duct pneumatic devices, cutting-edge ice makers, elevators and heat transfer systems.
Xiaoyu was very excited about being able to go abroad and come to the base camp of capitalism. She chatted non-stop. When she arrived at the hotel, she was still full of energy. She pulled Cao Zhihua and said:
"Brother, this is West Germany. The country that launched two world wars is really developed. There are high-rise buildings and busy traffic everywhere. It is much more developed than Hong Kong Island."
Cao Zhihua looked at Xiaoyu funny and said:
"West Germany is the country with the best industrial technology in the world. Its current economic ranking is the third in the world. It is only 8 million U.S. dollars behind the GDP of the Great Eagle Country. Maybe next year it will surpass the Great Eagle Country and rank second in the world. ”
Xiaoyu said in confusion:
"But didn't you say that this place was destroyed by war? Why are the buildings so intact?"
Cao Zhihua stood up, looked at the exotic scenery outside the window, and said:
“It’s been so many years, and now this is the front line against the Communist International.
Capitalist society has invested a lot of money and resources, so it will definitely recover quickly.
It's not like in our country, where Big Brother withdrew aid and then asked our country to pay off its debts, so we had to do it ourselves to have enough food and clothing, and everything had to start from scratch. "
After chatting for a while, the brother and sister were ready to go out.
It was a rare trip. After Cao Zhihua and others put away their luggage, they took the car arranged by Hutchison and began to tour from the Berlin Wall. Cao Zhihua looked at the tall Berlin Wall, stood next to Checkpoint Charlie, and faced Xiaoyu. And Lou En said:
"Separated by a wall, there are two worlds. This is the dividing line between capitalist society and socialist society."
Xiaoyu looked around curiously, and when her elder brother finished speaking, she said happily:
"This place will definitely leave a strong mark in history in the future. When we see this wall today, we are really witnessing history."
Cao Zhihua asked curiously:
"Why do you think this place will go down in history?"
Xiaoyu looked at her elder brother with an expression that said, "You are so stupid."
"Brother, you just said that this is the front line of the confrontation between two societies. How could you not leave a name? Just like the Normandy landing, it has been recorded in world history."
Cao Zhi rubbed Xiaoyu's hair vigorously and said happily:
"Xiaoyu is so smart. Now I really regret not letting you continue studying."
Xiaoyu said comfortingly:
"Brother, you have been very good to me. I am extremely satisfied with my current life. Besides, I can also study on my own. It is not difficult to hire a tutor."
Cao Zhihua Yaner said wickedly:
"Okay, that's it. I'll hire a tutor for you when you get back. You must pass the accounting certificate within one year and the advanced accounting certificate in three years."
Xiaoyu looked at Cao Zhihua dumbfounded. He was chatting while looking at the scenery. Why was he about to start the examination?
Can you still have fun?
Xiaoyu said with a depressed look:
"Brother, I'm so busy at work every day, how can I still have time to study?"
Cao Zhihua said in the tone of an old father:
"You live and learn until you are old. How can you really stop studying at such a young age?"
Xiaoyu was so angry that she stopped looking at the wall and walked towards the car.
"Hmph~, bad brother, I will ignore you."
Cao Zhihua shook his head with a dumb smile and got into the car.
Next, Cao Zhihua and others visited Alexanderplatz, Tiergarten Park, Parliament Building and other landmark buildings, and then returned to the hotel to rest.
Early the next morning, Cao Zhihua and his team came to the PFAFF factory.
PFAFF arranged for a sales manager to accompany the whole process.
"Mr. Cao, our Pfaff sewing machines are world-famous for precision, innovation and high quality. Pfaff sewing machines generally have excellent performance in terms of technology and craftsmanship, providing efficient, precise and durable sewing functions."
Cao Zhihua asked while looking at it, and finally confirmed that all kinds of sexy lingerie, lolita, sexy dresses and other clothing can be produced using three types of fabrics, industrial sewing machines, industrial overlock machines, and industrial embroidery machines on the market.
Cao Zhihua thought for a while, although he could imitate in his own space, it would be better to buy them all at once when he comes to West Germany. Fortunately, Pfaff has a full set of garment-making machines, otherwise it would be troublesome to operate them later, so he told Smith :
"Mr. Smith, except for the flat sewing machine, overlock sewing machine, shed sewing machine, and embroidery machine, I plan to purchase 10 units of each. All other garment-making equipment such as pattern printers, button punching machines, cutting machines, electric shears, etc. I plan to buy one set of all the clothing-making equipment.
The next step will be left to Hutchison Matheson to negotiate the price, but once we place an order, Pfaff must have someone come to our company to teach our employees how to use the machine. I can place the order directly if it suits me. "
Smith listened to Cao Zhihua's words with a smile and said:
"Ok, Mr. Cao, Hutchison will take care of it for you next."
When Westerners in this era talk about business, they don't talk about treating guests to dinner.
After inspecting PFAFF, Cao Zhihua and others went back to the hotel to have lunch and continued to inspect the factory of Karl Mayer in the afternoon.
Also received by the sales manager of Karl Mayer.
After viewing the entire production process of Karl Mayer's double-needle raschel warp knitting machine, Cao Zhihua asked:
"Manager Hannah, I have seen your company's production machines. They are indeed very advanced. Tights and stockings can be produced continuously in one line. But I plan to produce stockings. Can you help us fix them?" Our company does not need the production process of a few sets of silk stockings and the production process of other garments.”
"Mr. Cao, this is very simple. We even have a brand new stockings production line now. Do you want to take a look?"
"Of course, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Cao Zhihua followed Hannah and watched the entire production process of the stockings production line, including weaving, sewing, hemming, high-temperature cleaning, dyeing, drying, ironing and shaping.
He said to Smith with great satisfaction:
"Mr. Smith, I want to buy two complete stockings production lines. The same requires someone to go to our company to teach our workers how to use it. I will leave the other things to you, how about it?"
"No problem, Mr. Cao."
After inspecting the spinning machines of Suesen the next day, I confirmed that the spinning machine to be purchased can directly use the existing yarn, wrap multiple strands together, and after winding, I decided to buy two sets of machines at the same time.
Smith's work efficiency was very good, and the quotes from various companies came out on the third day.
After Cao Zhihua and Smith went through three rounds of price negotiations together, Cao Zhihua finally placed all orders. When Cao Zhihua's factory is ready, he can arrange for professionals to go over and train employees to use it.
After a week's trip to West Germany, Cao Zhihua flew back to Hong Kong Island with satisfaction.
After returning to Hong Kong Island, I was jet-lagged when I went home to rest.
Early the next morning, I took Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, Li Shengnan, and Xiaoyu to the industrial park in North Point.
As soon as Cao Zhihua arrived at the industrial park, Manager Xie Wenjun of the Engineering Department was already waiting at the gate with several assistants. Cao Zhihua saw the car and said:
"Manager Xie, you go directly to the industrial building. Let's go check out the factory first."
Cao Zhihua's company is now booming, and his prestige in the company is very high. After hearing Cao Zhihua's instructions, Xie Wenjun said respectfully:
"Okay, Chairman, you go over first, I'll be there soon."
Cao Zhihua nodded and ordered Lou En to drive directly under the industrial building.
Cao Zhihua looked at the outside of the building. The facade was painted blue and the doors and windows had been installed.
After Manager Xie came over, he led people directly inside and asked:
"Manager Xie, have the water and electricity in the industrial building been connected?"
"Water and electricity have been connected, and they are connected through dedicated lines. The Hong Kong government has said that it will give priority to ensuring the power supply to our industrial park."
Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:
"The industrial park still needs to prepare our own diesel generators. If there is a power shortage, it will not affect the production plan of the industrial park."
Xie Wenjun said:
"Okay, Chairman, the construction of the power supply room is progressing very quickly. When the time comes, the company will just purchase diesel generators."
"Has the elevator been debugged?"
"It's been debugged."
Cao Zhihua waved his hand and said:
"Go, go up and have a look."
After a while, Cao Zhihua and others came to the top floor and entered the factory.
Each floor of the factory has an area of 500 square meters, and it is now in a completely rough state.
Cao Zhihua turned around, thought for a while, and said to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, the top floor is my studio in the industrial park. The decoration standards are in accordance with the current company standards, and the floors are all covered with blankets.
According to my current office standards, I will build a 200-square-meter office in the southwest corner, and a design department office for fashion design in the southeast corner, which will include a 20-square-meter design manager's office.
To the north is a clothing company's new clothing fitting room and a professional studio for model photography. Then a high-end tea bar is being built, and several sets of high-end sofas are placed in the tea bar as a guest rest area. "
After Li Shengnan memorized Cao Zhihua's requirements, he asked:
"Mr. Cao, how big does your studio's public bathroom need to be?"
Cao Zhihua slapped his head, hey, I almost forgot, and quickly replied:
"The women's restroom has 8 toilets, the men's restroom has 4 toilets and 4 urinals."
After Li Shengnan finished writing, he said:
"Dr. Cao, do you have any other instructions?"
"Let the decoration department decorate the two buildings as quickly as possible. The decoration standard is that the walls are scraped and painted white, and the floors are all smoothed with cement. There is a bathroom and a water bar on each floor."
"No problem, Director Cao, this is very simple. Within a month, the decoration of the two buildings, including your studio, will be completed."
Cao Zhihua nodded with satisfaction and said to Lou Xiao'e:
"Ezi, I plan to make you the production director of the garment factory. Are you interested?"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned by Cao Zhihua's words. She was completely unprepared and opened her mouth:
"Zhihua, I have no experience at all, is this okay?"
Cao Zhihua actually had no idea, but he felt that most of the time people were forced out. The future output value of this factory would be very scary. Cao Zhihua felt that it would be better to arrange his own people from the beginning.So he continued:
"It shouldn't be a big problem. You are smart and careful. If you recruit people in the early stage, you can ask Mr. Li to help you more. In the later stage, you only need to be responsible for production. I will let Mr. Li take charge of product design and sales operations."
Lou Xiao'e is also born as a calf and is not afraid of tigers. Since Zhihua thinks it can be done, then he is not afraid and can just do it, so he happily said:
"Okay, Zhihua, I will do it well."
After Cao Zhihua nodded, he said to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, you are going to start looking for a candidate to replace the general manager of Zhihua Real Estate recently. After the clothing company and club open, I will set up a group company. You are the general manager of the group I booked, so you should make plans early. Don’t get into trouble if no one takes over when the time comes.”
Li Shengnan suppressed the excitement in his heart, suppressed the expression on his face, and said calmly:
"Okay, Director Cao, don't worry, I will work hard and find a good successor for Zhihua Real Estate."
Cao Zhihua nodded and said:
"Come on, let's take a look at the office building and dormitory building."
"Okay, Director Cao."
Cao Zhihua and a large group of people came not far from the office building where the facade was being built. They stopped and thought for a while, and then said after a while:
"Manager Xie, the industrial park cannot just use this iron fence. Our industrial park needs to be changed to a fully enclosed one.
You are responsible for building a 3-meter-high wall along the edge of the land we purchased to surround the entire industrial park.
Build a grand door with unified entrance and exit. This will make it easier to manage. No cats or dogs can come into our factory in the future. "
Xie Wenjun nodded quickly and said:
"Chairman, I will make a plan later, take it to the company and go through the process, and start construction after the process is completed."
Cao Zhihua nodded, looked at the office building and apartment dormitory building, and asked:
"Manager Xie, how long will it take for these two buildings to meet delivery standards?"
"Chairman, the facades of the two buildings have now been completed. If nothing unexpected happens, the delivery standards can be reached within one month."
Cao Zhihua said to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, please come up with a plan as soon as possible for the decoration standards of the office and dormitory building. Let's take a look."
Li Shengnan said:
"Director Cao, the decoration plan for the dormitory building is easy to come up with, but what standard do you plan to use for the office building?"
Cao Zhihua said:
"The lobby of the office building adopts the decoration standard of a four-star hotel lobby. The elevator uses the best elevator in the world. You can set the other decoration standards. The top floor is my office. You can also give me a decoration plan. Let's see. It all depends on how the space is arranged.”
Li Shengnan didn't say a word about Cao Zhihua's request for two top-floor offices in the industrial park, and directly replied:
"Okay, Chairman, I will come up with a plan for this matter as soon as possible."
Cao Zhihua walked in circles around the building under construction, looking at it as he walked, and then said:
"The greening of the industrial park must also be well planned. It cannot be all dry and dry cement roads, which will affect the grade of the industrial park."
Xie Wenjun immediately said:
"Okay, Chairman, I will prepare the greening renderings as soon as possible and submit them to the company for review."
After Cao Zhihua finally confirmed that the purpose of coming today was correct, he said:
"Manager Xie, the construction of the industrial park has been done very well. You are very capable. You have worked hard during this period. When it is put into use, I will celebrate your success alone."
When Xie Wenjun received Cao Zhihua's praise, his whole body shivered with excitement, and he hurriedly said:
"Chairman, this is my job, and I should do it well. I didn't expect to receive your praise. I'm really happy."
Cao Zhihua looked at the excited Xie Wenjun, patted Xie Wenjun on the shoulder and said:
"In our company, if you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do poorly, you will be punished. As a boss, I must make rewards and punishments clear. If you do well, you should be rewarded."
Cao Zhihua is still willing to spend money on talents. After all, the more talents he has, the more he will earn.
After watching what he should see, Cao Zhihua took everyone home with satisfaction.
Cao Zhihua saw Chen Xueru's hesitant expression several times on the way. Cao Zhihua knew that she had a lot to say at this time, but because there were outsiders, she never spoke.So he opened his mouth and said clearly:
"Xue Ru, let's have a good communication after we get back from get off work."
After seeing what Cao Zhihua said, Chen Xueru nodded calmly.
After leaving Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru home, Cao Zhihua continued to work in the company.
As soon as Cao Zhihua returned to the office and sat down, Du Xinru came in with a cup of tea and said with concern:
"Chairman, would you like to have afternoon tea to rest your stomach?"
Cao Zhihua saw that the office was closed, so he held Du Xinru on his lap, put his nose on Du Xinru's neck and smelled Du Xinru's body fragrance.said:
"I don't want to eat, I want to eat you now."
After saying that, Cao Zhihua held Du Xinru's face and kissed her gently.
Before Cao Zhihua could start the next action, the phone on his desk stopped ringing.
Cao Zhihua reluctantly put Du Xinru down and stood up to answer the phone:
"Hey, where?"
"Hello, are you Chairman Cao Zhihua of Zhihua Real Estate Company?"
"Yes, I am, where are you?"
"This is the New Territories Police Station, Mr. Cao. In our police station, there are two groups of people who escaped from the north. They hold your letter of introduction and say they are looking for you. I am calling just to confirm whether this is the case?"
When Cao Zhihua heard this, he said excitedly:
"That's right, I sent a letter of introduction to my friends in the mainland. No matter what the problem is, please help me take care of them. I will come over right now. If you have anything to say to me in person, wait until I arrive."
"Okay, Mr. Cao, if you want to bail them out, it's best to bring a lawyer with you."
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you, I'll be right over."
Cao Zhihua hung up the phone and immediately found lawyer Zhou from the company's legal department, called Xiaoyu, and drove two cars to pick up the person at the New Territories Police Station.
Inspector Liu, who called Cao Zhihua from the New Territories Police Department, just hung up the phone and looked up to see his boss, Chief Inspector Lan Gang.Lan Gang opened his mouth and said:
"Piggy Liu, are you making a personal phone call during work?"
Inspector Liu smiled flatteringly and said:
"Detective Lan, it's work. Didn't we just catch two groups of stowaways from the north? Who knew they had a letter of introduction from the boss of Zhihua Real Estate? Didn't they check things with the boss of Zhihua Real Estate?"
Lan Gang said with some disbelief:
"Piggy Liu, this is not like your character. When did you become so kind?" Inspector Liu touched his head in embarrassment and said:
"This is not what my mother tells me every day that the boss of Zhihua Real Estate is a conscientious boss. Our family rented a house from their company and our life is indeed much more comfortable than before, so..."
When Lan Gang heard what Inspector Liu said, his eyes lit up and he said:
"So the boss of Zhihua Real Estate is quite powerful?"
As soon as Inspector Liu heard what Lan Gang said, he knew what he was paying attention to, so he said:
"Isn't that right? I saw it in the newspaper a while ago. He is the guest of the Hong Kong Governor, so he is very powerful."
Lan Gang shrank his eyes after hearing Inspector Liu's words and said:
"It's so big?"
Detective Liu said:
"Yes, I even asked about this person specifically. He has a good relationship with the foreigners in the Hong Kong government and foreign companies. He often plays golf with them."
Lan Gang lost his temper after hearing this, but it was still necessary for him to make friends with such an awesome person.So he asked:
"Zhuzi Liu, will the boss of Zhihua Real Estate come over later?"
"Yes, I should bring a lawyer over later to set bail."
Lan Gang said hello, nodded, returned to his office, and called the chicken pie (police officer) who was handling the case up for questioning.
"Ashe, are you looking for me?"
"Well, I heard that you caught two groups of stowaways from the north? Tell me what happened."
Chicken Pie looked at Lan Gang a little strangely and said:
"Ashe, Qi Bing and I met them when we were patrolling. Both groups were bringing their families with them, and they didn't run away when they encountered us.
It was said that the boss of Zhihua Real Estate had called them here, and they had a letter of introduction from the boss of Zhihua Real Estate.
Qi Bing and I felt that it was not appropriate to repatriate him directly, so we took him back to the police station to see how Ashe was going to handle the matter. "
After listening to this, Lan Gang said:
"You handled this matter very well. I will praise you. When the boss of Zhihua Real Estate comes to bail the person out, please remember to ask me for instructions before handling it."
"Okay, Ash!"
After Lan Gang waited for the chicken cake to go out, he fell into deep thought.
Now all the Chinese detectives in Hong Kong wear a pair of trousers, headed by Lei Luo.
But Lan Gang has always been brave enough to fight hard, and he has climbed to this position in such a short time.
But this is also the ceiling for the Chinese in the police force. Foreigners will not allow the Chinese to have room for advancement.
But what Lei Luo, the boss of the Chinese police, did, is it impossible for me, Lan Gang, to do it?
Lan Gang's family is a foreign comprador in Hong Kong. He has received Western education since he was a child. He speaks fluent English, dares to fight hard, and is promoted as fast as Lei Luo.
But I can’t stand Lei Luo’s background. He was born in Chaoshan. Now there are about 100 million Chaoshan people in Hong Kong Island. The strength in Hong Kong Island can be imagined. Moreover, he is related to the Xiang family in Xin Ngee An. This is also the case in Xin Ngee An. The reason why Lei Luo is highly praised.
Moreover, Lei Luo has a close relationship with Li Chaoren, who is also from Chaoshan. Li Chaoren was able to gain momentum only because Lei Luo was not there to protect him.
So Lan Gang can't say he's afraid of Lei Luo, but if he wants to climb up and become the boss, he can't defeat Lei Luo.
So now Lan Gang attaches great importance to any useful relationship.
Not long after, Lan Gang saw a Rolls-Royce and a Ford outside the second-floor window of the police station, entering the police station one after another.
Then I saw a grader get out of the back seat of the Rolls-Royce gently but vigorously.
Lan Gang pinched his chin with his hand. Looking at such a young boss, he had many thoughts.
Cao Zhihua took Lawyer Zhou into the police station. Lawyer Zhou said to the police officer at the front desk:
"Hello, I am Zhou Xuan, a barrister from Jin Law Firm, who came to bail Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun."
When the police officer heard that the background was so big, he quickly said:
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go find Ashe."
After a while, Lan Gang went straight downstairs, stretched out his hand to Cao Zhihua and said:
"This is Mr. Cao, he is really young and promising. I am Inspector Hua Gang from the New Territories. Nice to meet you."
When Cao Zhihua heard Lan Gang's name, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Detective Lan, I am Cao Zhihua, nice to meet you,
I have heard from the Hong Kong Governor before that Inspector Lan is the backbone of our Hong Kong Island police force.
Even Uncle Shen Bishen of HSBC Bank and Mr. Qi Dezun of Hutchison Matheson Company have high praise for you.
I am very optimistic about your future. When I see you today, you are more heroic than the legend. "
Lan Gang was very happy when he heard Cao Zhihua say that so many big foreigners had mentioned him, and he kept chatting with Cao Zhihua.
After Cao Zhihua finally made an appointment with Lan Gang to play golf together on the weekend, he took Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun, who were released on bail, into the car and drove to the company.
In Cao Zhihua's Rolls-Royce, Cao Zhihua held their hands and said excitedly to them:
"Brother Zhang, Brother Xu, we have been friends for so many years, and today we finally met."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun are also very excited. Since they retired, they have no job arrangements and can only go back to their hometown to farm. They have lived a really hard life these years. Fortunately, Cao Zhihua and some comrades have provided some money every month in these years. , life can still go on.
However, the three-year famine, especially this year, has been too tragic in the countryside of my hometown, so after receiving Cao Zhihua's letter, I directly dragged my family and family to join Cao Zhihua through their former comrade-in-arms.
"Zhihua, although Zhijun and I haven't met each other for so many years, we have been friends for a long time. Our family really can't survive in this world, so after receiving your letter, the two families came together with their families. I’m here to defect to you.”
Cao Zhihua said excitedly:
"Brothers, what are you saying about defecting? The main reason is that my brother needs your help this time."
Xu Zhijun said curiously:
"Zhihua, if you need anything, just say it directly. A brother who can do it will never be vague."
Cao Zhihua calmed down his emotions and said:
"My two brothers also know that my father-in-law is Lou Bancheng from Sijiu City."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun nodded, indicating that they knew.
"There was a great famine in the country and the atmosphere was too tense, so my father-in-law took us to Hong Kong Island for development."
Cao Zhihua pursed his lips and continued:
"This year, my father-in-law gave me a lot of funds to develop my own business. Now my business has grown bigger and bigger. I will set up a group company next month."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun looked at Cao Zhihua in amazement.
Cao Zhihua continued:
"Hong Kong Island is not like China. It is very chaotic here. The police and gangsters are like wearing a pair of pants. The whole society does not distinguish between black and white. It is very chaotic.
Although these people usually don’t dare to mess with rich people like us,
But we are also worried that some extremely vicious people might target us, so we feel very insecure.
This time I called you brothers to Hong Kong Island because I hope you can join the security company I established.
Help me form a strong security team to protect me, my family, and my property. "
When Cao Zhihua said this, he shook Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun's hands with his palms and continued:
"Two brothers, my father-in-law and I came to Hong Kong Island and were unfamiliar with the place.
For something as important as security, I wouldn't dare to ask someone I don't particularly trust.
So I especially hope that my brothers will come and help me.
Now that I see my two brothers coming, I feel relieved.Please help me, two brothers. "
After Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun listened to what Cao Zhihua said, they looked at such a luxurious vehicle. They felt like they were in a dream. However, after they recovered, they immediately said:
"Zhihua, since you can trust us two, we must be responsible for what you said and we will definitely help you pull up the security team."
After Cao Zhihua heard that Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun agreed, he was very happy and said:
"Two brothers, Hong Kong Island is different from China. Everything in China is arranged and responsible by the state. In Hong Kong Island, it is arranged and responsible by private bosses. So, two brothers, I plan for you to be the general manager of the security company. , a security captain who serves as a security company, what do you think?"
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun had just come from China and had no idea what Cao Zhihua meant.So he said:
"Zhihua, Zhijun and I came here to believe in you. We don't understand what you said now, but we believe that Zhihua will not harm us, so we will do whatever you say. "
Cao Zhihua did not delay and said directly:
"Okay, the two brothers believe me, then I will make the arrangements for the two brothers and their family."
"Lou En, when we get to Causeway Bay, we'll find a clothing store first and buy a few sets of clothes for our two brothers and their families."
When Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun heard that Cao Zhihua wanted to buy clothes for his family, they quickly said:
"Zhihua, don't spend money. We all brought clothes."
Cao Zhihua smiled and said:
"Two brothers, just now they said they would listen to my arrangements, but now they no longer do it."
Zhang Guohua said:
"It can't be a waste. It's not like we don't have clothes to wear, so we don't have to spend money to buy them."
Cao Zhihua could only say:
"Two brothers, Hong Kong Island is different from China. In China, the poorer you are, the more glorious you are. No one will look down on the other.
But Hong Kong Island is a capitalist society. People here respect others first and then others. There are people everywhere who look down on others. The two brothers don't want the whole family to look down on others every day because of this, right?
Moreover, my two brothers are responsible for my security work, and their future income will be quite high, so there is no need to save so much. "
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun looked at each other, then at Cao Zhihua, and finally nodded.
When Lou En and Xiaoyu parked the car and got off at Liang's Clothing Store in Causeway Bay, Cao Zhihua took a closer look at the two families of Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun.
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun did not bring the elderly at home this time, only their wives and children.
Zhang Guohua's wife Cao Zhihua is only known as Hongwa, and she has two sons and a daughter.
Xu Zhijun’s wife is Han Lisi, and they have a son, a daughter, four adults and five children.
All of them were hungry and skinny. The five children in particular had very little meat on their bodies. They were all like little people like ribs.
Seeing this situation, Cao Zhihua was really unspeakable. He led a large group of people and bought three sets of clothes for each person, a suit for the man and a cheongsam for the woman, and the same for the children.
After buying the clothes, Cao Zhihua directly ordered:
"Lou En, let's go directly to Jiuji Beef Brisket in Central and take everyone to have a good meal."
"Okay, sir."
Originally, Cao Zhihua planned to settle Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun's visitors before going to eat.
But when I saw these women and children, they were so hungry that they struggled to walk and staggered, so I hurriedly fed them first.
As for not having food for too long, eating meat and diarrhea are difficult to deal with. Let people eat some meat first and eat full first.
Jiuji Beef Brisket is a very famous restaurant on Hong Kong Island. Business is very good every day. In particular, its beef brisket in clear soup is famous throughout Hong Kong. Beef Brisket Yi Noodles and Curry Beef Brisket are also the signatures of this store.
Cao Zhihua was not short of food, nor was he short of oil and water. He ordered a beef brisket in clear soup to try for himself, and gave Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun a portion of the same three signature dishes, saying:
"These three dishes are the signature dishes here. They are very delicious. Today, everyone will not eat rice. We will eat beef and noodles. Everyone can eat as much as they want. If there is not enough, we will order more."
Zhang Guohua picked up a piece of beef brisket and ate it into his mouth. The fresh, fragrant, and attractive meat flavor, and the soft and delicious chew were so delicious that Zhang Guohua wanted to swallow it with his tongue.
At this moment, no one had any idea of talking. Everyone was devouring their food. After eating, they found that they were surrounded by a large group of people pointing fingers.
"At first glance, these people must have fled from the north."
"Didn't they say that those who escaped were caught and deported?"
"I didn't see that luxury car. I have rich relatives here."
“Look at the hungry children, it’s so pitiful.”
Cao Zhihua really couldn't stand the pointing fingers of such a large group of people, so after everyone finished eating, he quickly took everyone away.
The house that Cao Zhihua arranged for the two families was a tenement building that he kept under the company's name and did not rent to outsiders. It was on Gough Street, less than 300 meters away from Jiuji Beef Brisket Shop.
Cao Zhihua brought two families upstairs. One family arranged a floor, Zhang Guohua's family lived on the second floor, and Xu Zhijun's family lived on the third floor.
The two families saw that the house Cao Zhihua had arranged for his family had three rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The walls were painted white, and the whole house was fully furnished and electrically furnished.
Women and children cheered at such good accommodation conditions. Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun looked at each other and knew that their family's hard days were really over.
As a man, he is poor and has short ambitions. His family has suffered with him for so long. But when he came to Hong Kong Island, he received such a good arrangement and reception from Cao Zhihua. I was so moved that I could not wait to find a place to cry. The two looked at Cao Zhihua movedly and said:
"Zhihua, your arrangement leaves us with nothing to repay. Don't worry, even if I don't take my life, we will build a good security team and do a good job of protecting you."
Cao Zhihua patted their arms and said:
"I have always regarded you as my brothers, so you two brothers should not meet me outside. There is something I need to tell you."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun nodded and said:
"Zhihua, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"The monthly salary of the management of our company is 1000 yuan a month, but in the future my two brothers will be responsible for my safety, which will be more dangerous, so I plan to give my two brothers a monthly salary of 2000 yuan. It’s two months’ salary for two brothers, 4000 Hong Kong notes per person, take it.”
When Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun saw that Cao Zhihua was still giving them money, they gave up.
In the end, there was nothing he could do, so Cao Zhihua had no choice but to say:
"My two brothers just came from China, and I probably don't have any money. Do they plan on my two sisters-in-law and my nephews and nieces to live hungry all the time?
And this is not the money I give you, this is your two months' salary. I just pay it to you in advance to help you tide over the difficulties. I will not pay you the salary for the next two months, just deduct it back. . "
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun were a little at a loss when they heard Cao Zhihua's words.
Cao Zhihua put the money into their hands one by one and said jokingly:
"Brothers, there's no need to be like this. I called you two here. The most important thing is to take care of your own safety and ask your two brothers to work for me. In the future, you two brothers, don't blame me for giving me less money for selling my life."
When Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun saw what Cao Zhihua said, they knew that Cao Zhihua wanted to make them feel better, so they no longer refused, took the money, nodded fiercely and said:
"We sold our lives to you."
Cao Zhihua sighed, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said:
"Brothers, let's rest for three days. Starting tomorrow, I will ask Lou En to come over and take everyone to familiarize themselves with life on Hong Kong Island. After three days, we will talk about the rest."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun looked at each other. They really needed to get familiar with the environment here first. After settling things at home, they could do things well, so they said:
"Okay, we really need to make some corrections and get settled before we can start work."
"Well, you two brothers should rest first. I'll go and get busy first. I'll leave the company and my home phone numbers with you. If you need anything, call me directly."
"Okay, Zhihua, hurry up and get busy. Because of our affairs, we will take up a whole day of your time."
"You two brothers are so polite. It's the biggest thing for me that you can come and help me. It's just that you have worked hard for so many days and you really need to rest first. I can't continue to disturb you."
After Cao Zhihua finished speaking, he saw that the two people didn't know what to say, so he went up to hug them and said:
"Brothers, please call if you need anything. I'll leave first."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun watched Cao Zhihua drive away with Xiaoyu and Lou En, and then returned to their rooms.
As soon as Zhang Guohua entered the house, he saw that his wife Hongwa had just come out of the shower and was about to take a shower first. After so many days of running away, her whole body almost stunk and she was really uncomfortable.
But Hongwa pulled Zhang Guohua and asked:
"Zhihua is gone?"
"Um"
"Why is he so nice to us? He doesn't want you to do bad things, right?"
Zhang Guohua said angrily:
"You are a villain trying to judge a gentleman. What are you thinking about every day?"
"Then why did he spend so much money to bring us over? There is so much money that there is no place to put it?"
Zhang Guohua looked at this bitch and didn't want to talk to her. But she kept pushing her even further and wouldn't let her go until she told her. Zhang Guohua, who never hit a bitch, had no choice but to say:
"Zhihua took us over and asked us to form a security team for him to protect the safety of his home and property."
Hongwa said in surprise:
"Is this the only thing that treats us so well?"
"What's all this about? Zhihua and I have been friends for many years. Without this friendship, would such a good thing have happened to me?"
"Then you have indeed met a noble person. How long has it been since you had a full meal like today? You are really a great benefactor to our family."
Zhang Guohua nodded silently and said:
"Yes, a benefactor worthy of everything I give."
(End of this chapter)
In 1960, West Germany was already an economic miracle country in the world. Its economic level had exceeded the pre-war level, its GDP had reached US$725 billion, and its per capita GDP had reached US$1309.
Accompanied by Smith from Hutchison Matheson, Cao Zhihua, Lou En, and Xiaoyu drove past Munich's Königsplatz. The square was surrounded by cars parked, mostly Beetles, but also many of the world's most advanced Mercedes-Benz sedans.
In the car, Smith said:
"Director Cao, we have made appointments with PFAFF, Karl Mayer and Suessen for inspections. They very much welcome your visit."
Cao Zhihua nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Have you decided where to inspect tomorrow?"
“The PFAFF factory will be arranged tomorrow morning, the Karl Mayer factory will be arranged in the afternoon, and the Suesen factory will be arranged the day after tomorrow.
As long as you are optimistic about the product, you can negotiate the purchasing conditions yourself, or we can help you negotiate.
After you sign the order, the rest can be left to us, Hutchison Matheson, and you can just wait to receive the goods on Hong Kong Island. "
Cao Zhihua nodded and said:
"Okay, let's follow this arrangement."
"Okay, Director Cao."
The car drove for a while and arrived at the Adlon Hotel where Cao Zhihua and others were staying.
The Adlon Hotel is one of the most well-known hotels in Berlin.
Cao Zhihua got out of the car and looked curiously at this hotel where celebrities such as William II, Queen Victoria, Roosevelt, Einstein, and Chaplin had stayed.
Every brick and tile of the hotel is extremely fine, implementing minimalist and elegant line aesthetics. The entrance to the hotel lobby is a four-leaf glass revolving door.
In terms of decoration, the hotel uses ebony and mahogany as its walls, ivory and tortoise shell as decoration, and a large number of Italian Carrara marble and French lead glass complement each other.
Walking into the suite he had booked, Cao Zhihua found that there were duct pneumatic devices, cutting-edge ice makers, elevators and heat transfer systems.
Xiaoyu was very excited about being able to go abroad and come to the base camp of capitalism. She chatted non-stop. When she arrived at the hotel, she was still full of energy. She pulled Cao Zhihua and said:
"Brother, this is West Germany. The country that launched two world wars is really developed. There are high-rise buildings and busy traffic everywhere. It is much more developed than Hong Kong Island."
Cao Zhihua looked at Xiaoyu funny and said:
"West Germany is the country with the best industrial technology in the world. Its current economic ranking is the third in the world. It is only 8 million U.S. dollars behind the GDP of the Great Eagle Country. Maybe next year it will surpass the Great Eagle Country and rank second in the world. ”
Xiaoyu said in confusion:
"But didn't you say that this place was destroyed by war? Why are the buildings so intact?"
Cao Zhihua stood up, looked at the exotic scenery outside the window, and said:
“It’s been so many years, and now this is the front line against the Communist International.
Capitalist society has invested a lot of money and resources, so it will definitely recover quickly.
It's not like in our country, where Big Brother withdrew aid and then asked our country to pay off its debts, so we had to do it ourselves to have enough food and clothing, and everything had to start from scratch. "
After chatting for a while, the brother and sister were ready to go out.
It was a rare trip. After Cao Zhihua and others put away their luggage, they took the car arranged by Hutchison and began to tour from the Berlin Wall. Cao Zhihua looked at the tall Berlin Wall, stood next to Checkpoint Charlie, and faced Xiaoyu. And Lou En said:
"Separated by a wall, there are two worlds. This is the dividing line between capitalist society and socialist society."
Xiaoyu looked around curiously, and when her elder brother finished speaking, she said happily:
"This place will definitely leave a strong mark in history in the future. When we see this wall today, we are really witnessing history."
Cao Zhihua asked curiously:
"Why do you think this place will go down in history?"
Xiaoyu looked at her elder brother with an expression that said, "You are so stupid."
"Brother, you just said that this is the front line of the confrontation between two societies. How could you not leave a name? Just like the Normandy landing, it has been recorded in world history."
Cao Zhi rubbed Xiaoyu's hair vigorously and said happily:
"Xiaoyu is so smart. Now I really regret not letting you continue studying."
Xiaoyu said comfortingly:
"Brother, you have been very good to me. I am extremely satisfied with my current life. Besides, I can also study on my own. It is not difficult to hire a tutor."
Cao Zhihua Yaner said wickedly:
"Okay, that's it. I'll hire a tutor for you when you get back. You must pass the accounting certificate within one year and the advanced accounting certificate in three years."
Xiaoyu looked at Cao Zhihua dumbfounded. He was chatting while looking at the scenery. Why was he about to start the examination?
Can you still have fun?
Xiaoyu said with a depressed look:
"Brother, I'm so busy at work every day, how can I still have time to study?"
Cao Zhihua said in the tone of an old father:
"You live and learn until you are old. How can you really stop studying at such a young age?"
Xiaoyu was so angry that she stopped looking at the wall and walked towards the car.
"Hmph~, bad brother, I will ignore you."
Cao Zhihua shook his head with a dumb smile and got into the car.
Next, Cao Zhihua and others visited Alexanderplatz, Tiergarten Park, Parliament Building and other landmark buildings, and then returned to the hotel to rest.
Early the next morning, Cao Zhihua and his team came to the PFAFF factory.
PFAFF arranged for a sales manager to accompany the whole process.
"Mr. Cao, our Pfaff sewing machines are world-famous for precision, innovation and high quality. Pfaff sewing machines generally have excellent performance in terms of technology and craftsmanship, providing efficient, precise and durable sewing functions."
Cao Zhihua asked while looking at it, and finally confirmed that all kinds of sexy lingerie, lolita, sexy dresses and other clothing can be produced using three types of fabrics, industrial sewing machines, industrial overlock machines, and industrial embroidery machines on the market.
Cao Zhihua thought for a while, although he could imitate in his own space, it would be better to buy them all at once when he comes to West Germany. Fortunately, Pfaff has a full set of garment-making machines, otherwise it would be troublesome to operate them later, so he told Smith :
"Mr. Smith, except for the flat sewing machine, overlock sewing machine, shed sewing machine, and embroidery machine, I plan to purchase 10 units of each. All other garment-making equipment such as pattern printers, button punching machines, cutting machines, electric shears, etc. I plan to buy one set of all the clothing-making equipment.
The next step will be left to Hutchison Matheson to negotiate the price, but once we place an order, Pfaff must have someone come to our company to teach our employees how to use the machine. I can place the order directly if it suits me. "
Smith listened to Cao Zhihua's words with a smile and said:
"Ok, Mr. Cao, Hutchison will take care of it for you next."
When Westerners in this era talk about business, they don't talk about treating guests to dinner.
After inspecting PFAFF, Cao Zhihua and others went back to the hotel to have lunch and continued to inspect the factory of Karl Mayer in the afternoon.
Also received by the sales manager of Karl Mayer.
After viewing the entire production process of Karl Mayer's double-needle raschel warp knitting machine, Cao Zhihua asked:
"Manager Hannah, I have seen your company's production machines. They are indeed very advanced. Tights and stockings can be produced continuously in one line. But I plan to produce stockings. Can you help us fix them?" Our company does not need the production process of a few sets of silk stockings and the production process of other garments.”
"Mr. Cao, this is very simple. We even have a brand new stockings production line now. Do you want to take a look?"
"Of course, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Cao Zhihua followed Hannah and watched the entire production process of the stockings production line, including weaving, sewing, hemming, high-temperature cleaning, dyeing, drying, ironing and shaping.
He said to Smith with great satisfaction:
"Mr. Smith, I want to buy two complete stockings production lines. The same requires someone to go to our company to teach our workers how to use it. I will leave the other things to you, how about it?"
"No problem, Mr. Cao."
After inspecting the spinning machines of Suesen the next day, I confirmed that the spinning machine to be purchased can directly use the existing yarn, wrap multiple strands together, and after winding, I decided to buy two sets of machines at the same time.
Smith's work efficiency was very good, and the quotes from various companies came out on the third day.
After Cao Zhihua and Smith went through three rounds of price negotiations together, Cao Zhihua finally placed all orders. When Cao Zhihua's factory is ready, he can arrange for professionals to go over and train employees to use it.
After a week's trip to West Germany, Cao Zhihua flew back to Hong Kong Island with satisfaction.
After returning to Hong Kong Island, I was jet-lagged when I went home to rest.
Early the next morning, I took Lou Xiao'e, Chen Xueru, Li Shengnan, and Xiaoyu to the industrial park in North Point.
As soon as Cao Zhihua arrived at the industrial park, Manager Xie Wenjun of the Engineering Department was already waiting at the gate with several assistants. Cao Zhihua saw the car and said:
"Manager Xie, you go directly to the industrial building. Let's go check out the factory first."
Cao Zhihua's company is now booming, and his prestige in the company is very high. After hearing Cao Zhihua's instructions, Xie Wenjun said respectfully:
"Okay, Chairman, you go over first, I'll be there soon."
Cao Zhihua nodded and ordered Lou En to drive directly under the industrial building.
Cao Zhihua looked at the outside of the building. The facade was painted blue and the doors and windows had been installed.
After Manager Xie came over, he led people directly inside and asked:
"Manager Xie, have the water and electricity in the industrial building been connected?"
"Water and electricity have been connected, and they are connected through dedicated lines. The Hong Kong government has said that it will give priority to ensuring the power supply to our industrial park."
Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:
"The industrial park still needs to prepare our own diesel generators. If there is a power shortage, it will not affect the production plan of the industrial park."
Xie Wenjun said:
"Okay, Chairman, the construction of the power supply room is progressing very quickly. When the time comes, the company will just purchase diesel generators."
"Has the elevator been debugged?"
"It's been debugged."
Cao Zhihua waved his hand and said:
"Go, go up and have a look."
After a while, Cao Zhihua and others came to the top floor and entered the factory.
Each floor of the factory has an area of 500 square meters, and it is now in a completely rough state.
Cao Zhihua turned around, thought for a while, and said to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, the top floor is my studio in the industrial park. The decoration standards are in accordance with the current company standards, and the floors are all covered with blankets.
According to my current office standards, I will build a 200-square-meter office in the southwest corner, and a design department office for fashion design in the southeast corner, which will include a 20-square-meter design manager's office.
To the north is a clothing company's new clothing fitting room and a professional studio for model photography. Then a high-end tea bar is being built, and several sets of high-end sofas are placed in the tea bar as a guest rest area. "
After Li Shengnan memorized Cao Zhihua's requirements, he asked:
"Mr. Cao, how big does your studio's public bathroom need to be?"
Cao Zhihua slapped his head, hey, I almost forgot, and quickly replied:
"The women's restroom has 8 toilets, the men's restroom has 4 toilets and 4 urinals."
After Li Shengnan finished writing, he said:
"Dr. Cao, do you have any other instructions?"
"Let the decoration department decorate the two buildings as quickly as possible. The decoration standard is that the walls are scraped and painted white, and the floors are all smoothed with cement. There is a bathroom and a water bar on each floor."
"No problem, Director Cao, this is very simple. Within a month, the decoration of the two buildings, including your studio, will be completed."
Cao Zhihua nodded with satisfaction and said to Lou Xiao'e:
"Ezi, I plan to make you the production director of the garment factory. Are you interested?"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned by Cao Zhihua's words. She was completely unprepared and opened her mouth:
"Zhihua, I have no experience at all, is this okay?"
Cao Zhihua actually had no idea, but he felt that most of the time people were forced out. The future output value of this factory would be very scary. Cao Zhihua felt that it would be better to arrange his own people from the beginning.So he continued:
"It shouldn't be a big problem. You are smart and careful. If you recruit people in the early stage, you can ask Mr. Li to help you more. In the later stage, you only need to be responsible for production. I will let Mr. Li take charge of product design and sales operations."
Lou Xiao'e is also born as a calf and is not afraid of tigers. Since Zhihua thinks it can be done, then he is not afraid and can just do it, so he happily said:
"Okay, Zhihua, I will do it well."
After Cao Zhihua nodded, he said to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, you are going to start looking for a candidate to replace the general manager of Zhihua Real Estate recently. After the clothing company and club open, I will set up a group company. You are the general manager of the group I booked, so you should make plans early. Don’t get into trouble if no one takes over when the time comes.”
Li Shengnan suppressed the excitement in his heart, suppressed the expression on his face, and said calmly:
"Okay, Director Cao, don't worry, I will work hard and find a good successor for Zhihua Real Estate."
Cao Zhihua nodded and said:
"Come on, let's take a look at the office building and dormitory building."
"Okay, Director Cao."
Cao Zhihua and a large group of people came not far from the office building where the facade was being built. They stopped and thought for a while, and then said after a while:
"Manager Xie, the industrial park cannot just use this iron fence. Our industrial park needs to be changed to a fully enclosed one.
You are responsible for building a 3-meter-high wall along the edge of the land we purchased to surround the entire industrial park.
Build a grand door with unified entrance and exit. This will make it easier to manage. No cats or dogs can come into our factory in the future. "
Xie Wenjun nodded quickly and said:
"Chairman, I will make a plan later, take it to the company and go through the process, and start construction after the process is completed."
Cao Zhihua nodded, looked at the office building and apartment dormitory building, and asked:
"Manager Xie, how long will it take for these two buildings to meet delivery standards?"
"Chairman, the facades of the two buildings have now been completed. If nothing unexpected happens, the delivery standards can be reached within one month."
Cao Zhihua said to Li Shengnan:
"Mr. Li, please come up with a plan as soon as possible for the decoration standards of the office and dormitory building. Let's take a look."
Li Shengnan said:
"Director Cao, the decoration plan for the dormitory building is easy to come up with, but what standard do you plan to use for the office building?"
Cao Zhihua said:
"The lobby of the office building adopts the decoration standard of a four-star hotel lobby. The elevator uses the best elevator in the world. You can set the other decoration standards. The top floor is my office. You can also give me a decoration plan. Let's see. It all depends on how the space is arranged.”
Li Shengnan didn't say a word about Cao Zhihua's request for two top-floor offices in the industrial park, and directly replied:
"Okay, Chairman, I will come up with a plan for this matter as soon as possible."
Cao Zhihua walked in circles around the building under construction, looking at it as he walked, and then said:
"The greening of the industrial park must also be well planned. It cannot be all dry and dry cement roads, which will affect the grade of the industrial park."
Xie Wenjun immediately said:
"Okay, Chairman, I will prepare the greening renderings as soon as possible and submit them to the company for review."
After Cao Zhihua finally confirmed that the purpose of coming today was correct, he said:
"Manager Xie, the construction of the industrial park has been done very well. You are very capable. You have worked hard during this period. When it is put into use, I will celebrate your success alone."
When Xie Wenjun received Cao Zhihua's praise, his whole body shivered with excitement, and he hurriedly said:
"Chairman, this is my job, and I should do it well. I didn't expect to receive your praise. I'm really happy."
Cao Zhihua looked at the excited Xie Wenjun, patted Xie Wenjun on the shoulder and said:
"In our company, if you do well, you will be rewarded, and if you do poorly, you will be punished. As a boss, I must make rewards and punishments clear. If you do well, you should be rewarded."
Cao Zhihua is still willing to spend money on talents. After all, the more talents he has, the more he will earn.
After watching what he should see, Cao Zhihua took everyone home with satisfaction.
Cao Zhihua saw Chen Xueru's hesitant expression several times on the way. Cao Zhihua knew that she had a lot to say at this time, but because there were outsiders, she never spoke.So he opened his mouth and said clearly:
"Xue Ru, let's have a good communication after we get back from get off work."
After seeing what Cao Zhihua said, Chen Xueru nodded calmly.
After leaving Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru home, Cao Zhihua continued to work in the company.
As soon as Cao Zhihua returned to the office and sat down, Du Xinru came in with a cup of tea and said with concern:
"Chairman, would you like to have afternoon tea to rest your stomach?"
Cao Zhihua saw that the office was closed, so he held Du Xinru on his lap, put his nose on Du Xinru's neck and smelled Du Xinru's body fragrance.said:
"I don't want to eat, I want to eat you now."
After saying that, Cao Zhihua held Du Xinru's face and kissed her gently.
Before Cao Zhihua could start the next action, the phone on his desk stopped ringing.
Cao Zhihua reluctantly put Du Xinru down and stood up to answer the phone:
"Hey, where?"
"Hello, are you Chairman Cao Zhihua of Zhihua Real Estate Company?"
"Yes, I am, where are you?"
"This is the New Territories Police Station, Mr. Cao. In our police station, there are two groups of people who escaped from the north. They hold your letter of introduction and say they are looking for you. I am calling just to confirm whether this is the case?"
When Cao Zhihua heard this, he said excitedly:
"That's right, I sent a letter of introduction to my friends in the mainland. No matter what the problem is, please help me take care of them. I will come over right now. If you have anything to say to me in person, wait until I arrive."
"Okay, Mr. Cao, if you want to bail them out, it's best to bring a lawyer with you."
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you, I'll be right over."
Cao Zhihua hung up the phone and immediately found lawyer Zhou from the company's legal department, called Xiaoyu, and drove two cars to pick up the person at the New Territories Police Station.
Inspector Liu, who called Cao Zhihua from the New Territories Police Department, just hung up the phone and looked up to see his boss, Chief Inspector Lan Gang.Lan Gang opened his mouth and said:
"Piggy Liu, are you making a personal phone call during work?"
Inspector Liu smiled flatteringly and said:
"Detective Lan, it's work. Didn't we just catch two groups of stowaways from the north? Who knew they had a letter of introduction from the boss of Zhihua Real Estate? Didn't they check things with the boss of Zhihua Real Estate?"
Lan Gang said with some disbelief:
"Piggy Liu, this is not like your character. When did you become so kind?" Inspector Liu touched his head in embarrassment and said:
"This is not what my mother tells me every day that the boss of Zhihua Real Estate is a conscientious boss. Our family rented a house from their company and our life is indeed much more comfortable than before, so..."
When Lan Gang heard what Inspector Liu said, his eyes lit up and he said:
"So the boss of Zhihua Real Estate is quite powerful?"
As soon as Inspector Liu heard what Lan Gang said, he knew what he was paying attention to, so he said:
"Isn't that right? I saw it in the newspaper a while ago. He is the guest of the Hong Kong Governor, so he is very powerful."
Lan Gang shrank his eyes after hearing Inspector Liu's words and said:
"It's so big?"
Detective Liu said:
"Yes, I even asked about this person specifically. He has a good relationship with the foreigners in the Hong Kong government and foreign companies. He often plays golf with them."
Lan Gang lost his temper after hearing this, but it was still necessary for him to make friends with such an awesome person.So he asked:
"Zhuzi Liu, will the boss of Zhihua Real Estate come over later?"
"Yes, I should bring a lawyer over later to set bail."
Lan Gang said hello, nodded, returned to his office, and called the chicken pie (police officer) who was handling the case up for questioning.
"Ashe, are you looking for me?"
"Well, I heard that you caught two groups of stowaways from the north? Tell me what happened."
Chicken Pie looked at Lan Gang a little strangely and said:
"Ashe, Qi Bing and I met them when we were patrolling. Both groups were bringing their families with them, and they didn't run away when they encountered us.
It was said that the boss of Zhihua Real Estate had called them here, and they had a letter of introduction from the boss of Zhihua Real Estate.
Qi Bing and I felt that it was not appropriate to repatriate him directly, so we took him back to the police station to see how Ashe was going to handle the matter. "
After listening to this, Lan Gang said:
"You handled this matter very well. I will praise you. When the boss of Zhihua Real Estate comes to bail the person out, please remember to ask me for instructions before handling it."
"Okay, Ash!"
After Lan Gang waited for the chicken cake to go out, he fell into deep thought.
Now all the Chinese detectives in Hong Kong wear a pair of trousers, headed by Lei Luo.
But Lan Gang has always been brave enough to fight hard, and he has climbed to this position in such a short time.
But this is also the ceiling for the Chinese in the police force. Foreigners will not allow the Chinese to have room for advancement.
But what Lei Luo, the boss of the Chinese police, did, is it impossible for me, Lan Gang, to do it?
Lan Gang's family is a foreign comprador in Hong Kong. He has received Western education since he was a child. He speaks fluent English, dares to fight hard, and is promoted as fast as Lei Luo.
But I can’t stand Lei Luo’s background. He was born in Chaoshan. Now there are about 100 million Chaoshan people in Hong Kong Island. The strength in Hong Kong Island can be imagined. Moreover, he is related to the Xiang family in Xin Ngee An. This is also the case in Xin Ngee An. The reason why Lei Luo is highly praised.
Moreover, Lei Luo has a close relationship with Li Chaoren, who is also from Chaoshan. Li Chaoren was able to gain momentum only because Lei Luo was not there to protect him.
So Lan Gang can't say he's afraid of Lei Luo, but if he wants to climb up and become the boss, he can't defeat Lei Luo.
So now Lan Gang attaches great importance to any useful relationship.
Not long after, Lan Gang saw a Rolls-Royce and a Ford outside the second-floor window of the police station, entering the police station one after another.
Then I saw a grader get out of the back seat of the Rolls-Royce gently but vigorously.
Lan Gang pinched his chin with his hand. Looking at such a young boss, he had many thoughts.
Cao Zhihua took Lawyer Zhou into the police station. Lawyer Zhou said to the police officer at the front desk:
"Hello, I am Zhou Xuan, a barrister from Jin Law Firm, who came to bail Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun."
When the police officer heard that the background was so big, he quickly said:
"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go find Ashe."
After a while, Lan Gang went straight downstairs, stretched out his hand to Cao Zhihua and said:
"This is Mr. Cao, he is really young and promising. I am Inspector Hua Gang from the New Territories. Nice to meet you."
When Cao Zhihua heard Lan Gang's name, his eyes lit up and he said:
"Detective Lan, I am Cao Zhihua, nice to meet you,
I have heard from the Hong Kong Governor before that Inspector Lan is the backbone of our Hong Kong Island police force.
Even Uncle Shen Bishen of HSBC Bank and Mr. Qi Dezun of Hutchison Matheson Company have high praise for you.
I am very optimistic about your future. When I see you today, you are more heroic than the legend. "
Lan Gang was very happy when he heard Cao Zhihua say that so many big foreigners had mentioned him, and he kept chatting with Cao Zhihua.
After Cao Zhihua finally made an appointment with Lan Gang to play golf together on the weekend, he took Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun, who were released on bail, into the car and drove to the company.
In Cao Zhihua's Rolls-Royce, Cao Zhihua held their hands and said excitedly to them:
"Brother Zhang, Brother Xu, we have been friends for so many years, and today we finally met."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun are also very excited. Since they retired, they have no job arrangements and can only go back to their hometown to farm. They have lived a really hard life these years. Fortunately, Cao Zhihua and some comrades have provided some money every month in these years. , life can still go on.
However, the three-year famine, especially this year, has been too tragic in the countryside of my hometown, so after receiving Cao Zhihua's letter, I directly dragged my family and family to join Cao Zhihua through their former comrade-in-arms.
"Zhihua, although Zhijun and I haven't met each other for so many years, we have been friends for a long time. Our family really can't survive in this world, so after receiving your letter, the two families came together with their families. I’m here to defect to you.”
Cao Zhihua said excitedly:
"Brothers, what are you saying about defecting? The main reason is that my brother needs your help this time."
Xu Zhijun said curiously:
"Zhihua, if you need anything, just say it directly. A brother who can do it will never be vague."
Cao Zhihua calmed down his emotions and said:
"My two brothers also know that my father-in-law is Lou Bancheng from Sijiu City."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun nodded, indicating that they knew.
"There was a great famine in the country and the atmosphere was too tense, so my father-in-law took us to Hong Kong Island for development."
Cao Zhihua pursed his lips and continued:
"This year, my father-in-law gave me a lot of funds to develop my own business. Now my business has grown bigger and bigger. I will set up a group company next month."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun looked at Cao Zhihua in amazement.
Cao Zhihua continued:
"Hong Kong Island is not like China. It is very chaotic here. The police and gangsters are like wearing a pair of pants. The whole society does not distinguish between black and white. It is very chaotic.
Although these people usually don’t dare to mess with rich people like us,
But we are also worried that some extremely vicious people might target us, so we feel very insecure.
This time I called you brothers to Hong Kong Island because I hope you can join the security company I established.
Help me form a strong security team to protect me, my family, and my property. "
When Cao Zhihua said this, he shook Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun's hands with his palms and continued:
"Two brothers, my father-in-law and I came to Hong Kong Island and were unfamiliar with the place.
For something as important as security, I wouldn't dare to ask someone I don't particularly trust.
So I especially hope that my brothers will come and help me.
Now that I see my two brothers coming, I feel relieved.Please help me, two brothers. "
After Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun listened to what Cao Zhihua said, they looked at such a luxurious vehicle. They felt like they were in a dream. However, after they recovered, they immediately said:
"Zhihua, since you can trust us two, we must be responsible for what you said and we will definitely help you pull up the security team."
After Cao Zhihua heard that Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun agreed, he was very happy and said:
"Two brothers, Hong Kong Island is different from China. Everything in China is arranged and responsible by the state. In Hong Kong Island, it is arranged and responsible by private bosses. So, two brothers, I plan for you to be the general manager of the security company. , a security captain who serves as a security company, what do you think?"
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun had just come from China and had no idea what Cao Zhihua meant.So he said:
"Zhihua, Zhijun and I came here to believe in you. We don't understand what you said now, but we believe that Zhihua will not harm us, so we will do whatever you say. "
Cao Zhihua did not delay and said directly:
"Okay, the two brothers believe me, then I will make the arrangements for the two brothers and their family."
"Lou En, when we get to Causeway Bay, we'll find a clothing store first and buy a few sets of clothes for our two brothers and their families."
When Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun heard that Cao Zhihua wanted to buy clothes for his family, they quickly said:
"Zhihua, don't spend money. We all brought clothes."
Cao Zhihua smiled and said:
"Two brothers, just now they said they would listen to my arrangements, but now they no longer do it."
Zhang Guohua said:
"It can't be a waste. It's not like we don't have clothes to wear, so we don't have to spend money to buy them."
Cao Zhihua could only say:
"Two brothers, Hong Kong Island is different from China. In China, the poorer you are, the more glorious you are. No one will look down on the other.
But Hong Kong Island is a capitalist society. People here respect others first and then others. There are people everywhere who look down on others. The two brothers don't want the whole family to look down on others every day because of this, right?
Moreover, my two brothers are responsible for my security work, and their future income will be quite high, so there is no need to save so much. "
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun looked at each other, then at Cao Zhihua, and finally nodded.
When Lou En and Xiaoyu parked the car and got off at Liang's Clothing Store in Causeway Bay, Cao Zhihua took a closer look at the two families of Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun.
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun did not bring the elderly at home this time, only their wives and children.
Zhang Guohua's wife Cao Zhihua is only known as Hongwa, and she has two sons and a daughter.
Xu Zhijun’s wife is Han Lisi, and they have a son, a daughter, four adults and five children.
All of them were hungry and skinny. The five children in particular had very little meat on their bodies. They were all like little people like ribs.
Seeing this situation, Cao Zhihua was really unspeakable. He led a large group of people and bought three sets of clothes for each person, a suit for the man and a cheongsam for the woman, and the same for the children.
After buying the clothes, Cao Zhihua directly ordered:
"Lou En, let's go directly to Jiuji Beef Brisket in Central and take everyone to have a good meal."
"Okay, sir."
Originally, Cao Zhihua planned to settle Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun's visitors before going to eat.
But when I saw these women and children, they were so hungry that they struggled to walk and staggered, so I hurriedly fed them first.
As for not having food for too long, eating meat and diarrhea are difficult to deal with. Let people eat some meat first and eat full first.
Jiuji Beef Brisket is a very famous restaurant on Hong Kong Island. Business is very good every day. In particular, its beef brisket in clear soup is famous throughout Hong Kong. Beef Brisket Yi Noodles and Curry Beef Brisket are also the signatures of this store.
Cao Zhihua was not short of food, nor was he short of oil and water. He ordered a beef brisket in clear soup to try for himself, and gave Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun a portion of the same three signature dishes, saying:
"These three dishes are the signature dishes here. They are very delicious. Today, everyone will not eat rice. We will eat beef and noodles. Everyone can eat as much as they want. If there is not enough, we will order more."
Zhang Guohua picked up a piece of beef brisket and ate it into his mouth. The fresh, fragrant, and attractive meat flavor, and the soft and delicious chew were so delicious that Zhang Guohua wanted to swallow it with his tongue.
At this moment, no one had any idea of talking. Everyone was devouring their food. After eating, they found that they were surrounded by a large group of people pointing fingers.
"At first glance, these people must have fled from the north."
"Didn't they say that those who escaped were caught and deported?"
"I didn't see that luxury car. I have rich relatives here."
“Look at the hungry children, it’s so pitiful.”
Cao Zhihua really couldn't stand the pointing fingers of such a large group of people, so after everyone finished eating, he quickly took everyone away.
The house that Cao Zhihua arranged for the two families was a tenement building that he kept under the company's name and did not rent to outsiders. It was on Gough Street, less than 300 meters away from Jiuji Beef Brisket Shop.
Cao Zhihua brought two families upstairs. One family arranged a floor, Zhang Guohua's family lived on the second floor, and Xu Zhijun's family lived on the third floor.
The two families saw that the house Cao Zhihua had arranged for his family had three rooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The walls were painted white, and the whole house was fully furnished and electrically furnished.
Women and children cheered at such good accommodation conditions. Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun looked at each other and knew that their family's hard days were really over.
As a man, he is poor and has short ambitions. His family has suffered with him for so long. But when he came to Hong Kong Island, he received such a good arrangement and reception from Cao Zhihua. I was so moved that I could not wait to find a place to cry. The two looked at Cao Zhihua movedly and said:
"Zhihua, your arrangement leaves us with nothing to repay. Don't worry, even if I don't take my life, we will build a good security team and do a good job of protecting you."
Cao Zhihua patted their arms and said:
"I have always regarded you as my brothers, so you two brothers should not meet me outside. There is something I need to tell you."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun nodded and said:
"Zhihua, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"The monthly salary of the management of our company is 1000 yuan a month, but in the future my two brothers will be responsible for my safety, which will be more dangerous, so I plan to give my two brothers a monthly salary of 2000 yuan. It’s two months’ salary for two brothers, 4000 Hong Kong notes per person, take it.”
When Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun saw that Cao Zhihua was still giving them money, they gave up.
In the end, there was nothing he could do, so Cao Zhihua had no choice but to say:
"My two brothers just came from China, and I probably don't have any money. Do they plan on my two sisters-in-law and my nephews and nieces to live hungry all the time?
And this is not the money I give you, this is your two months' salary. I just pay it to you in advance to help you tide over the difficulties. I will not pay you the salary for the next two months, just deduct it back. . "
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun were a little at a loss when they heard Cao Zhihua's words.
Cao Zhihua put the money into their hands one by one and said jokingly:
"Brothers, there's no need to be like this. I called you two here. The most important thing is to take care of your own safety and ask your two brothers to work for me. In the future, you two brothers, don't blame me for giving me less money for selling my life."
When Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun saw what Cao Zhihua said, they knew that Cao Zhihua wanted to make them feel better, so they no longer refused, took the money, nodded fiercely and said:
"We sold our lives to you."
Cao Zhihua sighed, patted the two of them on the shoulders, and said:
"Brothers, let's rest for three days. Starting tomorrow, I will ask Lou En to come over and take everyone to familiarize themselves with life on Hong Kong Island. After three days, we will talk about the rest."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun looked at each other. They really needed to get familiar with the environment here first. After settling things at home, they could do things well, so they said:
"Okay, we really need to make some corrections and get settled before we can start work."
"Well, you two brothers should rest first. I'll go and get busy first. I'll leave the company and my home phone numbers with you. If you need anything, call me directly."
"Okay, Zhihua, hurry up and get busy. Because of our affairs, we will take up a whole day of your time."
"You two brothers are so polite. It's the biggest thing for me that you can come and help me. It's just that you have worked hard for so many days and you really need to rest first. I can't continue to disturb you."
After Cao Zhihua finished speaking, he saw that the two people didn't know what to say, so he went up to hug them and said:
"Brothers, please call if you need anything. I'll leave first."
Zhang Guohua and Xu Zhijun watched Cao Zhihua drive away with Xiaoyu and Lou En, and then returned to their rooms.
As soon as Zhang Guohua entered the house, he saw that his wife Hongwa had just come out of the shower and was about to take a shower first. After so many days of running away, her whole body almost stunk and she was really uncomfortable.
But Hongwa pulled Zhang Guohua and asked:
"Zhihua is gone?"
"Um"
"Why is he so nice to us? He doesn't want you to do bad things, right?"
Zhang Guohua said angrily:
"You are a villain trying to judge a gentleman. What are you thinking about every day?"
"Then why did he spend so much money to bring us over? There is so much money that there is no place to put it?"
Zhang Guohua looked at this bitch and didn't want to talk to her. But she kept pushing her even further and wouldn't let her go until she told her. Zhang Guohua, who never hit a bitch, had no choice but to say:
"Zhihua took us over and asked us to form a security team for him to protect the safety of his home and property."
Hongwa said in surprise:
"Is this the only thing that treats us so well?"
"What's all this about? Zhihua and I have been friends for many years. Without this friendship, would such a good thing have happened to me?"
"Then you have indeed met a noble person. How long has it been since you had a full meal like today? You are really a great benefactor to our family."
Zhang Guohua nodded silently and said:
"Yes, a benefactor worthy of everything I give."
