Chapter 316 The Way to Redemption
This time we are heading south to Hong Kong. Alexei has negotiated with India for many times. They agree today, but change their mind tomorrow. They agree to ship today, but have to wait tomorrow.
After such a long time, the first batch of food was finally shipped. Alexei received news through the embassy that in such a short period of time, he had lost 20 kilograms, purely due to diarrhea.
Drinking unclean Ganges water will not cure dysentery
Wang Deming could only feel sincerely happy about this, not only for the shipment of grain, but also for the fact that he could successfully lose the fat he had gained in China in the past few years.
After all, figuratively speaking, when he first came to China he was a gorilla, but when he left he had turned into a black-haired pig, and was slightly bald.
No wonder Diana looked down on him, love begins with appearance, this is an eternal truth.
This time he went to Hong Kong, he boarded a ship directly from Tianjin, then headed south to Guangzhou, and then changed to Mr. Huo's shipyard's ship to enter Hong Kong.
However, he did not have any gold or money on him. He planned to get a thorough understanding of this route. He planned to transport all the gold and money hidden in his home to Hong Kong.
After National Day, as autumn approaches, the weather becomes more refreshing, especially at sea. Just after leaving Tianjin Port, the sea water is still a little turbid, but as it gradually moves south, the sea water turns emerald green, contrasting with the azure blue sky.
The sunlight shines on the sea, the waves sparkle, and the seagulls circle and call above the ship, adding a natural interest.
Standing on the deck, Wang Deming held a cigarette in his hand and squinted his eyes, enjoying the warmth of the sun, the freshness of the sea, the vastness of the world, and the breadth of people's hearts.
This scene made him feel better after being depressed for days.
With concerted efforts, we will always overcome the difficulties!
Difficulties are temporary and the future is bright. In my previous life, I listened to Professor Wen Tiejun from Renmin University talk about China's economic history. After liberation, China experienced eight major crises, but it got through each one safely.
If it were any other country, the game would have been over long ago.
Although this ship is a passenger and cargo ship, it also towed a large net behind it, and there were off-duty crew members fishing with fishing rods.
Every time it’s mealtime, the freshest seafood is served on the table and you can eat as much as you want.
The only downside is that there is only a little bit of soy sauce in the seasoning, and not enough scallions and ginger to remove the fishy smell, but there is enough salt.
Foot-long crawling shrimps, sea cucumbers as thick as forearms, and lively yellow croakers.
The dumplings made with pure yellow croaker taste great, but the only flaw is that the dumpling skin is made of cornmeal.
Wang Deming followed the group to fish, eat shrimps, and play cards every day. They soon arrived in Guangzhou and boarded the sand boat that Mr. Huo had arranged long ago at the port and headed for Hong Kong.
On the way to Xiangjiang Island, you can see British coast guard boats from time to time, swaying on the sea. Because it is daytime, they often drive quickly to the side of the sand ship, shouting with loud speakers, and demanding to board the ship for inspection.
After lowering the spiral staircase, we saw several British devils wearing short-sleeved green police uniforms boarding the ship with a group of Chinese policemen.
“Who are you?”
As soon as they saw Wang Deming sitting in the captain's room with his legs crossed, the middle-aged yellow-haired man in the lead nervously reached for the holster on his waist.
Wang Deming was wearing a Zhongshan suit, which meant he must have come from the mainland.
The captain of the ship was very anxious, "Sir, I can explain, there are normal customs documents."
"Let me look," the yellow-haired man was still very nervous.
Wang Deming stood up with a smile and shook the Old Testament in his hand towards him, "Take it easy."
Huangmao was in a trance for a moment, then he relaxed immediately, "OKOK."
Wang Deming walked up to the yellow-haired man, looked down at him, still smiling, and patted the Bible in his hand on his chest. His voice was very charming, "Don't you know?"
“The path to salvation lies within it.”
The yellow-haired man took the Old Testament of the Bible blankly and replied, "The way to salvation is in it."
"Great!" Wang Deming snapped his fingers. The captain was about to hand a stack of banknotes to Huangmao, but Wang Deming stopped him with a smile and said to Huangmao, "This kind of sand ship is for the construction of Hong Kong. You will definitely let it go unconditionally in the future, right?"
Huang Mao nodded seriously, "Yes, sir."
"Very good." Wang Deming stretched out his hand. "Then, it depends on your performance in the future?"
"Yes, you are right! Let's pack up!" The yellow-haired leader shouted, and climbed down the spiral staircase with a group of people. After honking the whistle a few times to salute, he stepped on the accelerator and left.
The captain and the crew members around him were all dumbfounded.
"So they let us go without taking the money?"
Wang Deming glanced at the Hong Kong paper in his hand and raised his eyebrows. "It's obvious, isn't it?"
"Oh, by God, Mr. Wang, what on earth did you do?"
"Didn't you see it all?" Wang Deming smiled and turned back to the captain's room. "If reasoning doesn't work, talk to them about religion."
"So useful?"
"Not really. It still depends on who is speaking."
"Oh"
When we arrived in Hong Kong, we got on the Mercedes that had been waiting at the cargo port and sped away. The driver apologized, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Huo can't come to pick you up in person today. I apologize. He has something important to deal with today."
"He asked me to take you back to your home first. He has arranged everything for you. You can take a rest first. He will send me back to pick you up in the evening."
Wang Deming, who was sitting in the back seat, waved his hand nonchalantly, "Tell Brother Dong that he doesn't need to be so polite. I didn't go to pick him up when he went to Beijing. These are nothing serious."
Soon, along the mountain road by the sea, the Mercedes-Benz drove to the gate of a manor hidden in the jungle.
The driver honked the horn a few times, the gate slowly opened, and the driver slowly drove in to the door of the main building.
"Mr. Wang, we're here."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"This is what I should do, sir. I will pick you up later." The driver slowly drove away from the manor again.
Wang Deming stood in front of the main building and took a quick look around. This is a traditional Chinese manor, covering an estimated area of 2 square meters. The main building is a two-story building with double eaves, a hip roof, blue bricks and red tiles. The corridor in front of the door has tall pillars painted green, and a cloud-catching railing below.
The corridor in front of the house is connected to the houses on the left and right, extending all the way to a pavilion over a pond.
Although it is already late autumn, the pond is still rippling and the grass is lush, making it a great place to relax and have fun.
I climbed up the steps of the main building and touched the pillars. The texture was cement. Yes, reinforced concrete is cheap and stronger than wood. However, the floor of the corridor should be mahogany, with only a clear layer of plywood, so it was mirror-proof.
The main building's gate and lintel are also made of mahogany, with traditional carvings of figures such as five bats visiting the door and the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea.
The door was open, and as soon as we entered, an elderly woman came to greet us, followed by several young men and women.
"Mr. Wang, I'm the housekeeper assigned to you by Mr. Huo. You can just call me Sister Tao." Sister Tao introduced the people behind her to Wang Deming: "They are the driver, gardener, cleaner, and kitchen staff."
Wang Deming nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, thank you Sister Tao."
"Sir, would you like to take a shower first? And change into some fresh home clothes? You look so tired, you must have walked a long way."
This ability has a foreshadowing, but I was warned before that it cannot be used in that environment and cannot be changed.
