Chapter 320 There are always more solutions than difficulties

After Imdo Khan and a group of people hurriedly left, the remaining people in the banquet hall looked at Wang Deming with even more strange eyes.

"Virtue, virtue, virtue." Mr. Huo, who has seen a lot and has experienced a lot, couldn't help but feel shocked by this scene. No, it was horrified.
This is too horrible. The Indian guy was so arrogant just now, but in the blink of an eye, he converted to Wang Deming's side. Not only did he obediently accept the Buddhist scripture, he even didn't attend the banquet and went back immediately to arrange the shipment of food.

Mr. Huo couldn't help but think of himself. Did such changes occur in the process of his contact with Wang Deming?
His mind quickly went through all the scenes that had happened since he met Wang Deming.

Probably not. Anyway, he didn't notice anything unusual, and since he met De Ming, his family business has been thriving.

What reassured him most was Wang Deming's patriotism for the motherland. Whether he came to deliver gold during the Korean War or came to buy food this time, it was all for the motherland.

"Brother Dong, Mr. Dong, Alexi, why are you looking at me like that?"

Wang Deming looked innocent and explained, "As the saying goes, those who appear strong are weak at heart. I just used a little trick of psychological suggestion."

"Is it really psychology? And not some Feng Shui metaphysics?" This time it was Mr. Dong who asked the question.

You should know that most of the wealthy people in Hong Kong believe very much in China's traditional Taoist feudal culture. Therefore, whether in Hong Kong or Taiwan, there are a group of fortune tellers who live a very comfortable life.

The famous ones are the guests of honor in the mansions of the rich and powerful, and the less famous ones are often invited to check the Feng Shui, such as when filming a TV series or movie.
Wang Deming blinked, looked around the banquet hall, and immediately started to lie: "Of course, a part of it has been integrated. After all, although Taoism is declining in the mainland now, there are still masters alive. I also learned a little when I was in Beijing. For example, the banquet hall today is decorated with a double dragon playing with a pearl and a flying dragon entering the sea."

"Look, our banquet hall is facing the harbor. Isn't it like a dragon's mouth?"

"In the middle of this banquet hall, I placed two long banners connected with lanterns, like two dragons ready to fly."

"And there is this mirror I placed at the entrance. Look, this direction is exactly the southeast Xun Gua position. It can both enjoy blessings and absorb energy and suppress foreign races."

Mr. Dong listened with great interest, and suddenly realized something: "No wonder I felt as if my body was lighter and my spirits were not good as soon as I came in. Deming, can you come to my house and help me out someday?"

"Hey, it's definitely not necessary now!" Wang Deming waved his hand and refused: "You are now in a period of great fortune that comes once every twelve years. It is the time to make great plans. You don't need to change anything. A rash change may affect your fortune."

"Oh"

"What about me? What about me?" Alexei listened with great interest and immediately asked himself, "You can still enjoy life for at least 30 years, so just enjoy it."

After the Indian affairs were dealt with, a few people took the wine and food and sat back on the balcony to continue looking at the scenery and chatting, and set a date to entertain the British.

Dealing with the British was similar, except that Wang Deming bought a new Old Testament of the Bible and solemnly handed it to a few British devils, and then everything was resolved naturally.

The commercial building built by Mr. Huo started to have water and electricity, and businesses began to move in.
After solving the obstacles posed by the British devils to Mr. Huo, he openly met with Mr. Bao and others to discuss the next development plans of several group companies; secretly he visited several senior executives of HSBC and Citibank, and obtained tens of millions of US dollars through financial means - the wealth that was plundered from the mainland by these two companies.

Then the money was secretly used to buy shares of companies such as Wheelock and Hong Kong Holdings. It was not limited to Hong Kong. American companies such as Coca-Cola and Intel also used the shell of an Isle of Man company to slowly purchase shares.

Now, Wang Deming's wealth has reached more than 1 million US dollars. He entrusted Mr. Huo to continue investing in patriotic businessmen in Hong Kong, and made arrangements for the arrival of grain in Hong Kong. He took a ship in Guangzhou and slowly returned to Tianjin, and then took a train from Tianjin back to Beijing. It was October when he left, and it was already the end of November when he returned.

But when he returned to Beijing this time, he was greeted by a sandstorm the first thing he did. The sky was filled with red and yellow sand, covering the entire capital city like a blanket. When he got off the train at the new Beijing Railway Station, his vision was only about 10 meters. Countless pedestrians walked outside with their mouths and noses covered tightly.

Among the pedestrians walking against the wind, there are young guys who refuse to give up and ride their bicycles crookedly. Most of them push their bicycles with their heads bent and move forward with difficulty. On the contrary, among the pedestrians walking with the wind, it seems as if there is a big hand pushing them from behind, and they run in small steps and quickly, running forward involuntarily.

The fallen leaves on the ground and the yellow branches and leaves remaining on the trees on both sides of the street were all swept up in the air by the strong wind and sand, and no one knew where they would end up.
It's not without benefits. The ground is very clean without sweeping.
After returning to Yongkang Hutong and getting a change of clothes, he went to the nearest bathhouse, "Jufushun".

This was the first time he came to this bathhouse after moving here. It was located in Gugusi Hutong opposite. It was very interesting. On the left was the "Yongxingchang" cloth shop, and on the right was the "Zengxingguan" restaurant.

If you don’t bring a change of clothes when taking a shower, you can ask the cloth shop next door to come in to measure your size and then send you a set of clothes. If you are hungry, you can just order food and the waiter will go to the restaurant next door to buy the food and bring it in. Of course, you need a ticket.

Although the conditions of the bathhouse are poor, the business is actually pretty good.

When Wang Deming arrived, the lounge chairs in the hall were full of people chatting, drinking tea, and smoking.
As usual, he asked for a Guantang, took off all his clothes, and went in to take a nice bath. In fact, there was a special bathroom at home in Yongkang Hutong, but he still liked the atmosphere of the bathhouse, which felt lively and interesting.

While taking a bath, I listened to people in the hall chatting about the recent food problem in the capital.

"Hey, even the rations for you boilermen have been reduced by several kilograms?"

"Of course, let alone food rations, this year the amount of cabbage distributed to our family is half as much as in previous years. How will it be enough to eat by the beginning of spring?"

"Hey, we don't have any experience, right? We can go and exchange for sweet potatoes. Now the farmers' markets around Beijing are open, in Haidian and Chaoyang. If we exchange some of our fine grains, won't we be able to eat more?"

“That’s one way to do it.”

"Right, this is just the beginning. You young people don't know that when the Japanese occupied Beijing, we still had fine grains. We poor people who were left with only clothes on our backs couldn't even afford cornmeal. We could only buy mixed flour made from various brans. Didn't we live our lives the same way?"

"But the child at home is not doing well. My wife has no milk, and the child cries with hunger all day long!"

"Go to the hospital. You can get a note and get milk powder. You can also go to the grain store to buy millet to make porridge."

"Oh, thank you very much."

Listening to the old people in the bathhouse constantly imparting their experiences to the young people, Wang Deming smiled knowingly. As long as one's spirit does not decline, there are always more solutions than problems.

As soon as Wang Deming returned home, he saw someone coming to see him.

"Hey, Comrade Deming, you're back. Come with me now. I've been coming to your house every day to look for you these days!"
