Chapter 628
Chapter 628
They walked hurriedly, their hearts full of longing for their homeland.
The plane slowly slid towards the runway, then suddenly accelerated and rushed into the sky.
The fuselage cuts through the clear sky and shuttles freely among the blue sky and white clouds.
The roar of the plane engine was deafening, as if whispering the end of this wonderful journey, and as if loudly announcing the beginning of a new journey.
At noon, the scorching sun was like a wild horse running out of control, pouring down unreservedly on the wide runway of Kai Tak Airport.
The runway is like a huge mirror, reflecting dazzling light that pierces people's eyes directly, causing pain in their eyes.
In the waiting hall, the crowd was bustling like an ant colony, and all kinds of complex sounds intertwined together to form a noisy wave.
The air was filled with the smell of sweat, perfume, and the lingering scent of airline meals.
The travelers who just got off the plane, dragging their exhausted bodies as if filled with lead, squeezed in the crowd, walking in a hurry, with the fatigue of the journey written all over their faces; the people who came to pick them up stretched their necks, like sentinels looking into the distance, anxiously searching for their targets in this surging crowd, their eyes full of expectation and desire.
At this moment, Du Guanghe, Liang Feixing and Wei Wuji came hurriedly from a distance.
They looked panicked, their steps were as rapid as the beating of war drums, and every step was extremely heavy.
The three men's gazes were like two sharp spears, tightly locked on the exit. Their eyes seemed to see through the wall at the exit, as if He Yuzhu would be captured instantly as soon as he appeared.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Every second of waiting was like rubbing against their hearts, making them more and more anxious. Their foreheads were covered with fine beads of sweat, but they were completely unaware.
Finally, He Yuzhu's figure slowly emerged from the corner of the street and stepped into the crowd.
Each of his steps was steady and powerful, his feet landed firmly on the ground, making rhythmic sounds.
His back was straight, like a pine tree rooted in the earth, indestructible.
There was a faint smile on his face, which was peaceful and indifferent, without any trace of embarrassment, as if the storm he had just experienced was just a breeze encountered when going out, which passed by without leaving any trace.
Du Guanghe saw He Yuzhu from afar, and the heart that had been hanging in his throat suddenly seemed to have found its home, and fell back to its original place with a "thump".
He let out a long breath, and the suppressed tension in his chest slowly came out with this breath.
Without thinking too much, he hurried forward.
"Finally you're out! I was so worried!"
Du Guanghe's voice rose and trembled a little, his excitement was evident in his words, and his words were full of concern.
He Yuzhu's mouth corners lifted, his smile deepened, and he responded gently: "Don't worry, you see I'm not hurt at all, I'm fine."
Du Guanghe's face was still filled with worry, his brows unconsciously twisted into the shape of a "川" character. His eyes were filled with reproach, and he couldn't help but say, "How could you be so reckless as to go into danger alone? It must be so dangerous! What if something unexpected happens? What will we do?"
He Yuzhu shook his head slightly, his expression instantly becoming serious and solemn. His gaze deepened as he explained, "If I let you go, you definitely won't be able to handle Zhao Yunhai. He's ruthless and merciless, with no moral compass. He has a complex network of connections in this area. If I go, at least I can rely on my past friendship with him, and maybe there's a glimmer of hope that I can resolve this matter."
After hearing this, Du Guanghe felt as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water over his head. The care and worry in his heart instantly turned cold.
Doesn't this clearly tell him that he is no match for Zhao Yunhai!
I felt a little disappointed, but after thinking about it carefully, I had to admit that what He Yuzhu said was the truth.
The moment Liang Feixing and Wei Wuji saw He Yuzhu appear, the anger that had been accumulated in their hearts because of his rash trip instantly rose up.
After all, He Yuzhu's journey was too dangerous, with dangers lurking on every side, which really frightened them. They were worried all day long and had no peace of mind.
But when their eyes passed He Yuzhu and caught a glimpse of Zhao Yaojie following behind him, the anger on their faces froze instantly and was then replaced by deep surprise.
They subconsciously glanced at each other, their gazes filled with unconcealed doubts, as if silently communicating, "Why is he with He Yuzhu?"
Seeing this, Zhao Yaojie's lips curled up slightly, a perfect, sincere smile plastered on his face. He took a few steps forward and said loudly, "Let's let go of the past. As the saying goes, there's no friendship without fighting. Now, I've joined hands with Mr. He and started a business together."
"Doing business together?"
Liang Feixing and Wei Wuji blurted out their lines in unison, as if they had rehearsed them in advance. Their voices were filled with surprise and curiosity, almost overflowing.
Zhao Yaojie nodded firmly, his expression firm, "That's right! From now on, all the sugar produced by the sugarcane factory will be sold to Mr. He. After this setback, we have truly witnessed Mr. He's extraordinary strength and sincerity. This cooperation is a win-win for all parties involved."
After hearing this, Liang Feixing's face was full of astonishment, and his heart was in turmoil. He was so shocked that it was difficult to describe in words.
He widened his eyes, and kept thinking about what had happened before. He could never have imagined that things would take such a drastic turn.
However, he was a man who had been in the underworld for many years, so he quickly forced himself to come to his senses and tried to accept this shocking fact.
After all, the fact that He Yuzhu was able to bring Lin Wanting and Zhao Yaojie back to Hong Kong this time, the amount of information contained behind this is really too huge.
This alone is enough to prove that even the renowned master Zhao Yunhai is helpless in the face of He Yuzhu.
You have to know that Master Zhao Yunhai is a well-known powerful figure in this world. He is ruthless and decisive. Everyone in the underworld knows him. Most people would not even have time to hide when they meet him, let alone make him so helpless.
However, this was clearly not the place for a deep conversation.
There are crowds of people all around, and the noise is endless. The conversations of pedestrians, the honking of vehicles, and the shouting of shops are intertwined, making it difficult to calm down.
So, everyone got on the vehicle that had been prepared long ago.
Cars were speeding through the busy streets like arrows. The tall buildings, colorful neon signs and passers-by on the streets were all transformed into blurred light and shadows, flashing past the window as quickly as slides.
Afterwards, everyone changed to a ferry, which was like a nimble whale, bravely breaking through the waves on the sparkling sea.
The sea breeze, carrying the unique salty and humid scent of the sea, blew towards them, and the sound of the wind seemed to be mixed with the song of the waves, as if cheering for their return.
After some twists and turns, we finally arrived at Hong Kong Island.
As soon as they stepped into the headquarters in Sheung Wan, Liang Feixing and others seemed to have traveled through time and space into a completely different world.
The spacious and bright lobby is luxurious and magnificently decorated.
The marble floor was gleaming, reflecting the dazzling crystal chandeliers above their heads. The chandeliers were like shining stars, emitting dazzling light, making the entire lobby sparkle and leaving them stunned.
He Yuzhu immediately called over his secretary Huang Qianrou. She was an eye-catching presence in the workplace. She was wearing a neat professional suit that was tailored to fit her figure precisely, showing her professional and capable temperament.
Huang Qianrou's posture was as straight as a pine tree, and every step she took was graceful and calm. Her high heels made crisp and rhythmic sounds when they touched the ground, as if playing a melody of the workplace.
She came in front of everyone and cleared her throat gently. Her voice was like a yellow oriole singing in a valley, crisp and somewhat steady. Then she began to explain clearly.
As Huang Qianrou continued to tell the story, the expressions of Liang Feixing and others gradually changed from indifference at first to concentration, and finally to astonishment.
It turns out that He Yuzhu's influence in Sheung Wan is like a giant dragon entrenched here, so powerful that it is astonishing.
Take the office building they are in now, for example. Its exterior design is unique and magnificent.
As you step into the lobby, the high ceilings and crystal chandeliers that shine like stars illuminate the entire lobby with splendor.
The office area on each floor was equipped with the most advanced office facilities at the time, including high-speed typewriters, accurate calculating machines, and convenient communication equipment. Everything demonstrated He Yuzhu's forward-looking layout in the business field.
The office building next door is equally magnificent, with its glass curtain wall reflecting dazzling light under the sunlight. It is also owned by He Yuzhu.
Not only that, He Yuzhu's business empire has long extended to Wan Chai, Po Kei Wan, Kwun Tong, Kowloon and other places.
In these prosperous areas, many industrial buildings are being built at full speed.
At the construction site, tower cranes stand in rows, and construction workers are like hardworking ants, working busily and orderly. The roar of machines interweaves into a symphony of construction.
Among them, two industrial buildings have been successfully completed and officially put into production.
When you walk into these two factories, you can hear the continuous roar of machines, which is a symbol of productivity.
The workers are dressed in uniform, operating various equipment skillfully, and busily shuttling between the assembly lines, creating a scene of bustling activity.
The factory mainly produces hardware, machine tools, electronic components, transistor radios and other products. Its products are rich in variety and high in quality, making it extremely competitive in the market.
At this point, Liang Feixing and the others finally woke up from their dream and truly realized that the scale of He Yuzhu's business was like a vast and boundless commercial ocean, bottomless and boundless, beyond their imagination.
Thinking back to Master Zhao Yunhai’s business, it was nothing compared to this and not worth mentioning.
When He Yuzhu first heard about the vast sugarcane forest stretching to the horizon, he couldn't help but think that such a huge industry might all belong to Zhao Yunhai.
The sugarcane forest was rolling in green waves, and the breeze was rustling, as if telling of the strong power of the owner behind it. In his mind, he instantly pictured Zhao Yunhai making a fortune in this sugarcane business.
But when he went deep into the local area out of curiosity and asked questions, he was shocked to find that he was wrong.
This piece of sugarcane forest actually has a "hidden secret". Only a small part of it is firmly controlled by Zhao Yunhai, and the rest of the fertile land belongs to the famous landlords on Luzon Island who are so famous that the ground will tremble with their stomping of feet.
These big landlords usually have their own thoughts and fight openly and secretly for the interests of land, water resources and other interests. The conflicts between them have long been no secret in the local area.
But when it comes to the sugarcane industry, they are well aware of the principle that "unity is beneficial to both sides, while separation is harmful to both sides", so they put aside their past grudges and work together.
They planned sugarcane planting together, jointly held shares in the sugar factory according to their proportions, and connected the upstream and downstream of the sugar business.
Relying on his own business acumen, Zhao Yunhai took on the heavy burden of daily operations and management.
He shuttled through the sugarcane fields every day, communicating with sugarcane farmers about the key points of planting, and keeping a close eye on the production process in the sugar factory. Although he was very clever and managed the industry in an orderly manner, after the interests were divided among the various levels, the profit that fell into his pocket was far less than what He Yuzhu had initially imagined, which gave He Yuzhu a new understanding of this complex industrial ecology.
He Yuzhu glanced at everyone, thought for a moment, and said in a warm tone:
"Everyone, don't rush to leave these days. Just enjoy yourself here. Hong Kong may not be a big place, but it has a lot of fun. The night view of Victoria Peak is dazzling. Standing on the top of the mountain and looking down, the entire Hong Kong Island is ablaze with lights, as if the Milky Way has fallen to earth. The sand at Repulse Bay is as fine as powder. It's soft and comfortable to step on bare feet. The waves gently lapping against the shore is so relaxing. Everyone, relax and take this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the market environment here. In the future, we will have countless opportunities for cooperation, and there will be plenty of time to show our talents!"
However, the situation here is complicated, the affairs are numerous and intricate.
There was an endless stream of merchants coming and going every day. The camel caravans carrying spices from the Western Regions would be greeted by local merchants as soon as they entered the city gate. The silk caravans from the south of the Yangtze River were also busy loading and unloading goods at the dock, with the sounds of bargaining rising one after another.
There are mountains of documents that need to be processed, including government decrees, tax accounts, and trade agreements, each of which needs to be reviewed and approved.
Coordinating relations among all parties was even more difficult. The interests of local gentry, conflicts and disputes between chambers of commerce, and communications with government officials, all of which came like a surging tide.
In such a situation, one person must be left here to take full responsibility for related matters in order to maintain the normal operation of this important commercial center.
At first, the first person that He Yuzhu thought of was Zhao Yaojie.
In an instant, the way Zhao Yaojie usually did things appeared in his mind as clear as yesterday.
