Merchant In the Sea Chapter 9

"Relax, Charles, I'm just speaking metaphorically."

David Ringo's tone became surprisingly gentle, and he expressed the kindness of an old father.

"But please, use your brain."

"Hong Kong's return to China is a foregone conclusion. Are you willing to just roll back to the UK in disGrace Yang ? All the major investors in Hong Kong are fleeing at an accelerated pace, and liquidation is inevitable. It's not too late for you to make plans now. Do you really want to wait until that day?"

Charles looked straight at David Ringo.

Surprisingly, he didn't say anything back.

England, Royal Smuggling Syndicate.

This cold and miserable island country with an area of   only 240,000 square kilometers has established a global trade network and a shocking gray interest chain by relying on colonial economy and maritime trade.

As the chief commercial representative of the Guangdong Office of the 48 Group Club, what kind of person could Charles be?

What does he mean?

threaten me?

After taking several long puffs of his cigar, Charles tried hard to calm down.

He smiled again.

"Of course, my friend, I would be willing to go even if it's with a tour guide, as long as the price is right."

David Ringo chuckled.

Without the support of his family, he lacked the ability to operate at sea.

That's why I thought of Charles.

As long as you let go, this guy will definitely be tempted.

"That's good enough."

David Ringo knocked on the table out of habit.

"In my eyes, there is only pure profit."

"And now, there is a very good opportunity for us to make a lot of money."

"With the collapse of the Soviet Union, India has lost its largest exporter. Large quantities of goods are piled up, the rupee has plummeted, and the Indian industry is now in a stage of clearing out inventory and selling off."

"Profiteering, Charles!"

"Can you bear to miss this opportunity?"

"I have already left the family business. I am negotiating with you in my personal capacity. Why don't you let go and make a fortune with me?"

"Medicine, textiles, materials, steel, cotton, and good electromechanical equipment. Even cocoa beans can make a fortune. There is a road to success in front of us."

Charles: "What do you mean? What do you mean by giving up the family business?"

Lin Lingdong's face became sincere: "I have resigned from all positions in the family, and I sincerely invite you."

Charles shook his head slightly, obviously not believing it.

But inevitably, I thought about David Ringo's proposal.

At least in terms of the situation, David Ringo is right.

India's three major export categories are indeed seriously overstocked, and their export prices in the international market have fallen sharply.

And amazing exchange rates.

That's a good idea indeed.

In fact, the Forty-Eight Group was already rapidly consolidating its businesses, and he didn't have much time left, so he also had an urgent need.

curious coincidence?

Charles actually started to think about it seriously.

"But why did you choose me?"

David Ringo: "Because I believe in your ability, and I do lack a strong partner, so, are you willing to listen to my detailed plan?"

Next, the two of them had a long conversation, seemingly in harmony but actually at odds with each other.

Relying on his 30 years of leading business experience, David Ringo is eloquent, citing a wide range of references and making big promises.

Charles listened and responded perfunctorily.

"Well, that's a good idea..."

"you are right."

"I have no opinion."

But as the conversation went on, Charles became more and more interested.

"Well, my friend, you are a real business genius..."

"I think it could be a little bolder..."

"The boat is no problem, I can arrange it..."

"The key is manpower, weapons, and a strong escort team..."

"Can you consider mercenaries?"

"Of course the fewer shareholders the better. Just you and me?"

David Ringo nodded and said, "Of course, would you be dissatisfied with the amount of money?"

In the end, Charles was so fooled that his face was red: "I think we can join forces once, but I still need some time to think about it."

David Ringo finally took the stinky feet off the desk.

"I can consider it. I will come back in three days. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer."

He took the promissory note and said goodbye to Charles.

David Ringo flicked his fingers, feeling the fragility of the promissory note.

Such a small piece of paper is worth 40,000 US dollars.

For this order, David Ringo opened his gorge and took away half of the profit directly, which was transferred to Standard Chartered Bank through Charles' channel and underground money houses.

Open an international account in Hong Kong Island and take the money to India.

Just the handling fee is a little more expensive.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about with Charles. This guy will definitely take the bait and we will lure him onto the pirate ship first.

When I go out, I give two Indians two hundred yuan.

"Hold the chicken curry."

The two Indians bowed directly to the ground and stretched out their hands to take it.

"thanks, thanks!"

"Let's have a happy cooperation in the future."

Easy to do.

In fact, there is nothing to worry about Charles. Based on David Ringo's understanding of Charles, this guy will definitely get on board.

After being out for so many days, it’s time to sort out my assets.

As the eldest grandson of the third branch of the Lam family and the holder of several family businesses, David Ringo's net worth is certainly not low.

Quite the opposite!

Even if he was not reborn, he would still be a powerful person.

Rich as hell.

...

Half an hour later.

Pearl River Estuary.

Inside an old house.

David Ringo stared at the wardrobe in front of him with a strange expression.

When he was young, he rented a house here for several years, but never lived in it. He used it to hide his money.

After opening the wardrobe and looking at a few loose screws, David Ringo was filled with emotion again.

He still remembered that he used to care a lot about the money.

Every stroke is carefully arranged.

When he was young, he was a little money-grubber.

After removing the cabinet panel, there was a 20-centimeter-wide compartment inside, which contained oil paper packages of various sizes. There were more than a dozen packages in total, all of which were carefully exchanged 100-yuan bills.

In fact, there is not much corruption in the family business. The main profit comes from smuggling orders. After deducting the commission from all parties involved, there is always 20,000 to 30,000 yuan left for each transaction. The normal expenses are not much, so they just hide the money anyway.

After a rough count, the total number is 1.36 million.

In 1992, when the average wage was only 200 yuan, this was undoubtedly an astonishing fortune.

This year, the two Ma and one Liu were still minor characters.

David Ringo's starting capital was much stronger than theirs.

However?

His worth doesn't end there.

In Hong Kong Island, he also runs a cold chain transportation company headquartered in Tsim Sha Tsui. It has more than 40 refrigerated trucks and is responsible for the supply of materials in Hong Kong Island. Countless smuggled goods have to pass through his hands.

The income there is much higher, about 2 million Hong Kong dollars.

Part of it is kept in HSBC, and part of it is managed by the fund. He has always been prudent in investment and only invests in the most stable soybean meal futures. The market has been quite good in the past two years, with an annualized rate of return of about 8 points.

I made a small profit, the total amount was between 2.2 million and 2.3 million.

The total number of mainland China and Hong Kong Island, including the newly received 40,000 US dollars, has reached more than 4 million.

In the short term, that is enough for now.

As for the abandoned family business?

It's actually a good thing.

No matter how much you earn, you are ultimately working for the family and it is difficult to achieve great success.

But Grace Yang 's side still needs some careful arrangements.

He went downstairs, bought a black handbag, put the 1 million in it back into the cabinet and sealed it.

He tore up the remaining 360,000 yuan, put it in his bag and carried it on his back.

When we returned to the old fishing port, the mother and daughter were watching the store at the door and hurried over to greet us.

"Ethan Ah, you're back so early today?"

Seeing David Ringo carrying a travel bag, Yang's mother reached out to take it.

It's extraordinarily heavy!!!

David Ringo smiled and said, "Let me do it. Where's Henry Yang?"

The window upstairs was opened with a bang, Henry Yang called out "brother-in-law" and quickly went downstairs.

As soon as she saw the bag in David Ringo's hand, her breathing quickened.

"How's it going? Is it done?"

"Let's go upstairs."

Grace Yang  and her daughter also felt something was wrong.

"Are you going on a long journey, Dong?"

David Ringo: "Nothing much, just some personal belongings. Go ahead and get busy. I'll make you a big dinner tonight."

He put the handbag away and casually threw out two thousand yuan to send Henry Yang away.

"Go and have fun by yourself."

He went downstairs and instantly turned into a good son-in-law, helping his aunt kill the fish, put on an apron and cooked, making the mother and daughter happy and enjoying the warmth of the family.
