Siheyuan: I am not Xu Damao

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Since the end of the year until now.

Xu Damao has never made any big moves.

However, Kowloon Walled City has undergone some subtle changes.

The dirtyness in the original dirty mess has been greatly improved.

At least this winter, no one will find corpses in toilets or nooks and crannies.

Everything is developing in the direction Xu Damao expected.

At this time, Xu Damao was also ready to start his next plan.

Whether it's a dock or freight, the first person Xu Damao thinks of is the world's shipping king.

By this time, Ship King and HSBC had been cooperating for several years.

Buying boats, renting boats, and buying boats again, his business has entered a virtuous cycle.

Therefore, the money Xu Damao has can only be regarded as the icing on the cake.

However, this flower is not a small flower.

Last day of June.

The ship king received Xu Damao in the office.

"Mr. Xu, why do you think of investing in shipping?"

"The risk here is not small. Boating and horse racing are three-thirds of the risk. If you are not careful, the money will be wasted."

"Hahaha, then why is Mr. Bao not afraid of risks and still taking this path?"

Hearing what Xu Damao said, Mr. Bao also smiled softly.

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Xu and I are the same kind of people."

"Well, you know your own business. You are a man of action. As for me, I am just a gambler at best. I am optimistic about your big ship, but I just wonder if Mr. Bao can take me onboard?"

"Mr. Xu is overly praised. I wonder how Mr. Xu wants to cooperate?"

"I'll be blunt. The funds I can currently use are only 3000 million Hong Kong dollars and 200 million pounds."

"I have roughly understood that this money can buy at least 6-8 new [-]-ton cargo ships,"

"If I hand over this money to you, how much return can Mr. Bao give me in five years?"

"It's hard for me to answer this question now."

"Mr. Bao, I forgot to tell you. After five years, I don't want the boat, I just want the money."

"However, when I need to use the boat, I hope Mr. Bao will give me priority."

Hearing that Xu Damao didn't want a boat, the Ship King became interested.

After thinking about it, he said.

"I wonder what Mr. Xu's expectations are?"

"Two hundred million Hong Kong dollars"

"Mr. Xu, as I said just now, shipping by sea is risky."

"Mr. Bao, this is equivalent to 6600 million Hong Kong dollars. Excluding the principal, the return I expect is only about 1."

"With this over 6000 million Hong Kong dollars, I believe that given the relationship between you and HSBC, wouldn't it be a simple matter to lend another tens of millions?"

"Furthermore, Mr. Bao must also know how many ships these 5 million will turn into in five years' time based on Mr. Bao's business methods."

"Mr. Xu, you don't know anything about these things, why are you still looking for me?"

"I believe that if you do it yourself, you can earn more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars."

Xu Damao smiled and said.

"You see, we have already talked about what we were talking about."

"You're a doer and I'm a gambler, that's why."

"Since Mr. Xu has confidence in me and is willing to stay with me, I naturally can't show my cowardice."

"Hahaha, ok, I will send you the money in the name of Damao Investment, and please ask Mr. Bao to prepare the contract."

Damao Investment, a newly registered company by Xu Damao, has Qiong as the director.

Two days later, after the two signed the contract, Xu Damao gave the ship king cash.

The ship king was a little confused.

"Mr. Xu does all business with cash?"

"Yeah, gamblers only get excited when they see cash."

"Okay, as long as Mr. Xu is happy."

After completing this matter, Xu Damao was quite satisfied.

If there is a first cooperation, then there will be a second and third time.

Moreover, his target was the Blue Chimney Warehouse Terminal sold by Taikoo & Co. in 71.

He remembered that the sale price at that time was HK$1.3 million.

As for the Wharf that Li Chaoren and Ship King fought over in the late 70s, that was more than ten years later.

In mid-July, Chen Yao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, found Xu Damao.

"Brother Xu, I was admitted to Xiangjiang University."

"Yeah, it's okay. Are you okay at home?"

"Well, everything is fine, thank you, Brother Xu."

"No need to be polite to me"

"By the way, can your grades be enough to apply to Cambridge University?"

"Yes, but it's difficult to apply."

"Does Yingguo have some kind of institution that can send you to study?"

"Well, it costs a lot of money to study in Eagle Country."

"You don't have to worry about this. Just go and find out. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems."

"You have to have an idea."

“One good lawyer can rob more money than a hundred men with submachine guns.”

"That's it, go to the best school. I'll wait for you to come back and help me after you finish your studies."

"You don't have to worry at home. If anything happens, ask them to come to me."

While talking, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter"

"godfather"

"Joan? What's the matter?"

"The godfather's wife wanted to come over and have a look, so I brought her here."

"Well, I have something to do here. You go and walk with her first."

"Ok."

Chen Yao didn't hear anything else, except that Qiong called Xu Damao his godfather.

He thought for a moment and said.

"Brother Xu, can I also call you godfather?"

"Are you ready to trust me with your future?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I agree."

"Ding, it is detected that Chen Yao's loyalty reaches 100%"

"The task is complete, and the reward has been issued."

"Ding, Chen Yao's spirit has exceeded the upper limit and randomly linked to a skill of the host."

"Ding, Chen Yao links the host's primary language skills"

"Linkage: Both parties share skills. If one party breaks through, the other party will also break through."

"Ding, mission released"

"Task: Add a family member (disciple)"

"Task reward: basic attributes +1, free attributes +1, random skills +1"

After a series of system prompts, Xu Damao closed his eyes to rest and began to check.

Chen Yao also felt the strangeness in his body just like Qiong did before.

However, the breakthrough in mental power gave him a sense of transparency.

Seeing Xu Damao closing his eyes and concentrating, Chen Yao felt more awe in his heart.

"Ayao, college is your first opportunity to form a team, so take advantage of it."

"However, the prerequisite is that you are good enough, do you understand?"

"I see, I won't let you down."

"Well, I believe you."

"You have met Qiong just now. Go and call her over. My wife is also here to introduce you to her."
