Chapter 366 Three Invitation Letters

Afterwards, Qin Di sent Zhang Naijing away, summoned his disciple Du Yuesheng, and his two nephews Qin Yuanlong and Qin Yuankong.

After Du Yuesheng practiced the demon cultivation technique, he became twenty years younger and full of vitality.

He smiled and reported: "Sir, the casino in Macau has been built. I have obtained the exclusive management rights and are preparing to officially open after the Spring Festival."

Qin Di asked: "How much did you spend to get the management rights?"

Du Yuesheng replied: "It cost a total of HK$2.1 million. This is to save face for the Macau authorities. Otherwise, I can suppress my opponents and prevent them from participating in the auction. In that case, I can get the operating rights at a lower price."

Qin Di said: "You are doing the right thing. Casinos are a very profitable industry. We should pay taxes and money we should spend. We should not lose any penalties for long-term monopoly management rights! The Macau authorities have taken the money and they also need to increase public welfare."

Du Yuesheng said: "Sir, in my opinion, the Qingbai Party is about to be finished! I am going to move south with my family and take away 800 key disciples. But I am afraid that so many people will have no food to eat when I arrive in the south. The casino will not absorb too many people."

Qin Di thought for a while and said, "Let me do this, I'll give you some funds. You can go to Macau and Hong Kong to see if you can build a wharf. The wharf requires a large amount of manpower, so you won't have any food to eat for your disciples."

Du Yuesheng was overjoyed: "Okay, I'll go and check it out first and see where there is a natural good harbor."

There were 19 piers in Hong Kong later generations, and there were fewer piers in Macau, with only three totals.

According to Qin Di's idea, if you spend money to build a wharf at this time, you will definitely find a suitable place. Moreover, some ready-made old wharfs will inevitably introduce a lot of funds if you want to expand their operations; some wharf owners even want to sell the wharfs. So there are still many opportunities to enter this industry.

Qin Di is not short of funds now. If he is short of money, he can spend a small part of the gold stolen from Germany, Japan, and the Philippines. Gold is a hard currency and can be exchanged for banknotes at any time. What he originally lacks was manpower, and since Du Yuesheng is willing to sell people, that would be great.

Then, he instructed Qin Yuanlong and Qin Yuankong: "From now on, you will live in the south, take your wife and children with you, don't be nostalgic about the Demon City anymore, the casino here will be closed forever!"

Qin Yuanlong asked: "Uncle, we went to the south. Can we come back every year?"

Qin Di said: "It's okay for the first two years, but it will be difficult in a few years."

"So, we can't meet our parents?"

"If you have the ability, bring your parents with you; otherwise you can only endure it slowly."

Qin Di would not say it too much, but just ordered his two nephews to follow Du Yuesheng and move their family to the south. But this "family" is just their small family, and their parents can't see that far, so they are likely not to follow them.

The next day, Qin Di appeared at the gate of Phoenix City and signed a "transfer" agreement with Du Yuesheng under the witness of several media.

From now on, the casino has closed down. As the "owner", Du Yuesheng "selled" Phoenix City to Mr. Qin for US$2 million!

In fact, this is a concealing action: Du Yuesheng washed his hands in a golden basin, and Qin Di came forward to take down the building. In the future, it would be changed to "Youth Palace" so that he could establish a positive image. In other words, the blame was taken away by the person surnamed Du!

After this matter was put on the newspaper, many people talked about it.

"Huh? Others are worried that they can't sell the property, why is the Qin family still buying real estate? US$2 million, this amount of money is quite large!"

"Is Mr. Qin crazy? He is in chaos, isn't it good to run away with cash?"

"Does the Qin family want to rule the river?"

"I heard that the Qin family's enterprises are operating normally! The Qin family does not seem to have the intention to escape."

"It's strange. As the richest man in the Republic of China, why is the Qin family not panicking at all?"

"Haha, you guys are all ignorant! Do you know that the second lady of the Qin family has not shown up for several years. Where did she go? I heard the rumors that someone has seen her in Baota Mountain... Think about it, the Qin family is on two boats, one daughter joins the Da Chi Party, and the other is an official of the Qingbai Party, and the Qin family is slippery and like a loach..."

"Ah? The daughter of the big capitalist actually joined the Da Chi Party? This is a strange story! Why doesn't the government care about it?"

"How to deal with it? Could it be that you should capture the great scientist Zhu Wan? Or imprisoned Young Master Qin? Don't forget that Young Master Qin is still a lieutenant general of the National Army! He donated 200 planes to the Qingbai Party..."

In early 1949, with the end of the three major battles, China was divided into two parts, north and south, and the war temporarily stopped. The Soviet Union and the United States wanted China to rule. A split country would not pose a threat to them.

However, knowledgeable people in China do not want this. If this happens, the phoenix nirvana will not be realized.

Therefore, while actively preparing for war, the north strengthened its infiltration into the south.

At this time, someone came to Qin Mansion and sent a letter inviting Zhu Wan and Qin Ling to cross the river to the north.

Qin Di suppressed the letter and did not reply yet.

Then, three similar letters came in a row.

Qin Di discussed with his family and replied to a long letter.

In mid-March, he took his parents and family, together with his sister Qin Ling, Zhang Naijing, a few children, and his apprentice Gu Rumei, to go south to Hong Kong.

This time, he also brought the thunder dog with him and carried a cage with two cuckoo birds inside.

The family was sitting on the boat, and several children surrounded the cuckoo bird.

Zhang Naijing said to Qin Di: "Why are you bringing two birds? People raise birds and starlings, parrots, you're good. They got two cuckoos! These two are quite big, two or three times larger than ordinary cuckoos! Is there any statement?"

Qin Di said: "I brought two birds over to protect the house."

"Nonsense! Can birds still keep their homes?"

"Hehe, do you believe this bird can speak human words?"

"I don't believe it, let it speak."

"I'm afraid I'll scare you, so I'd better forget it."

"Why did you bring the dog with you? Are you not coming back?"

"I haven't confirmed it yet, depending on the development of the situation. In the next two months, it will be impossible to stay in the demon, so I will take my family out to avoid it."

After a day of sailing, everyone arrived in Hong Kong the next day, boarded Baijia Road, and walked into the mountaintop villa area. Everyone was shocked!

The grass is green, the flowers are clustered, and butterflies are dancing. The air is filled with refreshing fragrance. From afar, the harbor at the foot of the mountain is dotted with white sails, the top of the head is warm sunshine, the white clouds are lingering, and the blue sky is blue. The yard is very spacious, surrounded by green trees and camellias. There is a three-story villa in the middle, with a swimming pool and even a small court for the children to play.
