Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 115: No Merit, Only National Revival

"My demand for cement is very urgent. As you know, I have big plans to build low-rent communities, skyscrapers, and the Crystal Palace Entertainment City, all of which require cement.

Moreover, the Japanese also needed a large amount of cement for post-war reconstruction.

Their country is poor in resources and most of these building materials have to be imported.

This is our opportunity. We can take the opportunity to export cement and other building materials to the Japanese and earn more foreign exchange for the country. "Zhang Chaoyang paused and continued.

After hearing what Zhang Chaoyang said, Li Shuqing's eyes flashed.

He understood Zhang Chaoyang's vision and courage. If Zhang Chaoyang said so, then it must be true.

Li Shuqing nodded solemnly and said, "I will report to the organization.

Don't worry, the organization attaches great importance to this matter and has allocated a large amount of manpower and material resources to ensure that it can be put into production in the shortest possible time."

"Scholar, there is one more thing.

I purchased a batch of nylon stocking machines from the DuPont family.

Nylon stockings are very popular in Europe and the United States. Women would feel embarrassed to attend a cocktail party without a pair of nylon stockings.

Many European and American women who cannot afford stockings tie their legs with ropes and then tan them to pretend they are wearing stockings.

This shows how popular stockings are in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, this batch of machines is of great significance to improving our stockings production capacity.

The operation and maintenance of these machines require certain professional skills.

Therefore, I hope that the organization can arrange a group of people to come to the factory to learn the operation and maintenance skills of the machinery.

After they learn how to do it, I will purchase another batch of stocking machines and hand them over to the country for the production of stockings.

I have already negotiated with the DuPont family and plan to invest in building a large nylon plastic factory in Sing Tao to produce nylon plastic.

In the future, nylon plastics can be provided to the domestic market.

In addition, domestic technicians can conduct research based on this batch of machines to see if silk can be used to replace nylon plastic to produce silk stockings.

Silk stockings are made of pure natural material, so in my opinion, their price should be higher than that of nylon stockings.

If my idea can be realized, we will have one more export commodity to earn foreign exchange." Zhang Chaoyang said seriously.

When Li Shuqing heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"This is indeed good news. I will report this matter to the organization as soon as possible.

If it really works, then, doctor, you have done a great job again." Li Shuqing said excitedly.

"There's no need to talk about whether it's a merit or not. Since we chose this industry, we haven't thought about personal honor or disgrace. Merit is not what we want either," Zhang Chaoyang shook his head.

"Doctor!" Li Shuqing looked at Zhang Chaoyang and wanted to say something, but he felt his throat was blocked and he couldn't say anything.

Zhang Chaoyang broke the awkwardness and said with a smile: "Also, the nylon plastic factory over at Xingdao can also send people over to participate in the construction of the nylon plastic factory, the installation of equipment, and the operation, repair and maintenance of the equipment.

Once we learn this, we can replicate the nylon plastic factory in the country."

"Last time you mentioned the idea of ​​replicating the steel plant, I have already reported it to the organization, and the organization has agreed with your suggestion.

At that time, we will select workers, technicians and students from all over the country to study in your factory." Li Shuqing said.

“I have arranged for people to go to Australia to make preparations for the steel plant. After a while, I will go there to keep an eye on it.

When everything is ready over there, I will contact you and then arrange for someone to go to Australia to study." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile after hearing what Li Shuqing said.

He naturally heard that Li Shuqing was reminding him not to just focus on nylon and plastics, but steel was the most important. Zhang Chaoyang attached great importance to the nylon and plastics industry, but in the eyes of Li Shuqing and people in China, the steel industry was more important.

Steel represents national strength.

Zhang Chaoyang talked with Li Shuqing about many things, all about industrial layout and material transportation, before he got up and left.

After finishing his business, Zhang Chaoyang prepared to leave Hong Kong by boat and go out for a trip with his wives.

By the way, send the weapons to Shan Biao and Luo Xing.

Then, just after Zhang Chaoyang had arranged everything, he suddenly received a call from Smith.

Invite him to watch horse racing together and talk about cooperation.

Zhang Chaoyang had to postpone his trip temporarily and took a car to Happy Valley.

"Dear Zhang, this is probably your first time at the racecourse, right?" After seeing Zhang Chaoyang, Smith hugged him enthusiastically.

“Yeah, it’s my first time here.

Without a good horse, it would be embarrassing to come here." Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

“If you want a good horse, it’s not that easy. I can introduce some to you. They are definitely good horses with championship pedigrees.” Smith said enthusiastically.

"Okay, then let me thank Mr. Smith first!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"You're welcome. We are old friends. This is just a small matter." Smith waved his hand.

As the two men talked, they walked into the carriage and came to a VIP box on the second floor. Mai Jingtao and Ge Lianghong were already waiting in the box.

There were many foreigners in black suits standing outside the box. Needless to say, these were Ge Lianghong's guards.

"Mr. Ge Lianghong, Mr. Mai Jingtao, good afternoon!" Zhang Chaoyang smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with the two.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Zhang!

The weather is nice today, so it's a good time to watch horse racing together." Ge Lianghong shook hands with Zhang Chaoyang and smiled as he asked Zhang Chaoyang to sit down.

"Mr. Zhang, do you have any problem with me? Or do you look down on me?" Mai Jingtao stared at Zhang Chaoyang and asked.

"Director McIntosh, what do you mean?

You are the Commissioner of Police of Hong Kong. There are few people in Hong Kong who dare to look down on Commissioner Mai Jingtao." Zhang Chaoyang said with a faint smile.

He paid no attention to MacIntosh's angry glare.

"I introduced a cargo ship to Mr. Zhang, but he said my face was worthless and that you were already giving me enough face by going to London.

But Mr. Zhang said this?" McIntosh asked.

“Haha, what I said was that Director MacIntosh’s face is not worth me spending hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy a cargo ship.

The shipping company that Director Mai Jingtao introduced is a ship brokerage company.

It would cost me hundreds of thousands of pounds more to buy the boat from your friend.

Director Mai Jingtao, do you think I should buy a boat from your friend?" Zhang Chaoyang looked directly at Mai Jingtao and asked.

"McIntosh, if it is really as Mr. Zhang said, then it is really not Mr. Zhang's fault.

Mr. MacIntosh, your face is indeed not worth spending hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy a cargo ship.

You know, hundreds of thousands of pounds is your and my salary for more than ten years."
