Although this ship is quite old, it is still very valuable, worth about HK$1200 million! It's no exaggeration to say that the price of such a ship is almost equivalent to that of an industrial building!
Later, the "Manhattan" dredging vessel, which had been bought back, was given a new name - "Yooyong No. 2" and officially came under the ownership of Yoyoung Shipping Company.
Hearing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but laugh and say:
"Hey, this is pretty good! Now that you have your own shipyard, you can definitely try building ships yourself."
It's important to understand that in the bustling Hong Kong area, people inevitably have to deal with ships frequently.
He Yuzhu himself not only had mastered advanced shipbuilding technology, but also harbored a dream: to own his own shipyard and its supporting dock.
At that moment, Huo Yingdong frowned slightly and said that he was temporarily out of money, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being.
He nodded slightly and said:
"That's right. My initial intention in buying this sand dredger was actually to replicate it. But right now, the most urgent thing is to finalize the sand dredging deal first."
Upon hearing this, He Yuzhu, who was standing nearby, immediately responded:
"How about this, I'll be free in a few days, and I can accompany you to discuss this matter."
Upon hearing this, Huo Yingdong's face lit up with joy, and he quickly replied:
"That's wonderful! Thank you so much!"
He Yuzhu waved his hand dismissively and said:
"Why are you being so polite with me? It's only natural for us to help each other out. Besides, didn't you also order a lot of watches before?"
Huo Yingdong smiled slightly upon hearing this, and then steered the conversation back to business.
Taking this opportunity, He Yuzhu casually asked Huo Yingdong how to build ships and frankly said that he was interested in getting involved in the shipbuilding industry and was preparing to open a shipyard.
Huo Yingdong was not surprised at all by He Yuzhu's idea. On the contrary, he generously promised to provide some skilled workers to build the framework of the shipyard for him.
He Yuzhu quickly clasped his hands in thanks to express his gratitude.
However, Fok Ying-tung jokingly replied with a smile:
"Just saying thank you verbally isn't enough; it doesn't seem sincere."
He Yuzhu couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Then, in your opinion, what should I do to show sincerity?"
Huo Yingdong's eyes lit up, and he laughed heartily as he replied:
"That's easy! You'll cook a delicious feast for us tonight."
"sure no problem."
After enjoying a pleasant afternoon tea, everyone said their goodbyes and embarked on their journeys home.
He Yuzhu returned home overjoyed and decided to personally cook a sumptuous feast to entertain his close friends.
Since He Yuzhu mastered the new skill, he immediately issued an order requiring his subordinates to continuously carry out procurement activities.
At the same time, the Tuen Mun warehouse also underwent a large-scale renovation project.
Now, in addition to the original main gate located inside, a spacious courtyard has been enclosed on the side of the warehouse, and a new gate facing outwards has been opened.
This crucial gate was firmly in He Yuzhu's hands, and he even had a van specially equipped for his use.
In this way, He Yuzhu could cleverly use the truck as cover to transport various items into his mysterious space without anyone noticing, or take out the items he needed from the space and deliver them safely to the warehouse.
This time, He Yuzhu purchased a large quantity of the raw materials necessary for manufacturing vacuum tube radios.
With his superb skills and high work efficiency, he successfully produced a large number of high-quality parts in just one afternoon.
It wasn't until nightfall, past the normal closing time, that He Yuzhu finally finished his work with satisfaction and dragged his slightly tired body back to his rented apartment.
Upon entering the house, he didn't even have time to rest for a moment before immediately rummaging through the house to find some fresh ingredients.
Then, without hesitation, he threw the bag of salt he had bought earlier into the trash can.
After completing these preparations, He Yuzhu quietly walked out of the room, went to the door next door, and knocked on the familiar door.
The door slowly opened, revealing Ruan Tao's charming and lovely face. He Yuzhu smiled politely and asked:
"Hello! I'm so sorry to bother you, but the salt I just bought has been ruined by cockroaches. I really have no choice but to borrow some from you."
After hearing this, Ruan Tao was slightly taken aback at first, then readily replied:
"Oh, I see. No problem, please wait a moment, I'll go get it for you right away." With that, she turned and gracefully walked into the kitchen.
A moment later, Ruan Tao came out carrying a small package carefully wrapped in paper.
She handed the paper package to He Yuzhu and said softly:
"This contains some salt; that should be enough for you."
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she asked curiously:
"You can cook for yourself?"
He Yuzhu smiled and nodded, responding confidently:
"Of course, I'm pretty good at cooking, so I like to cook something delicious from time to time."
At this moment, Ruan Mi, who had been in the room, vaguely heard the conversation outside. When she heard her younger sister Ruan Tao say that the food she had cooked was terrible, she couldn't help but shout loudly:
"Ah Tao, you little ingrate, how dare you say my cooking is bad behind my back? If you're so capable, then don't eat my cooking again!"
Ruan Tao hadn't expected that her bad talk about her sister behind her back would be discovered so quickly. Feeling embarrassed, she lowered her head and muttered softly like a child who had done something wrong:
"It was already cooked badly to begin with..."
Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Oh, stop arguing. Everyone has their own strengths. By the way, after I finish making dinner tonight, I'll bring a portion over for you two sisters to try, so you can see how good my cooking really is."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Tao's face immediately lit up with a joyful smile, and she happily replied:
"Great! Thank you so much! We'll definitely treat you to a delicious late-night snack as a reward!"
He Yuzhu waved casually, then turned and walked back to his own room at a leisurely pace.
He gently pushed open the door that was originally closed, and then slowly opened it again, instead of closing it as usual.
After all, this is the top floor, and few people come here on weekdays, so there really seems to be no need to close it.
Meanwhile, the kitchen was already filled with the crisp sounds of spatulas clattering against woks. Then, a rich and enticing aroma quickly spread out, wafting through the cracks in the doors and windows.
The fragrance, like an invisible hand, gently guided people's olfactory nerves, drifting all the way towards the house where the Peach Sisters were.
Sitting on the sofa, Ruan Tao was the first to notice the faint fragrance. She subconsciously twitched her small, delicate nose, took a few deep breaths, and her face instantly lit up with a delighted smile:
"Wow, it smells delicious! I didn't expect Mr. He wasn't just bragging. It seems he really does have some culinary skills."
Hearing her sister's words, Ruan Mi nodded slightly in agreement: "Yes, the smell is quite nice."
Just then, Ruan Tao suddenly jumped off the soft, comfortable sofa, nimbly put on her cute little shoes, and then hopped and skipped towards the door like a happy little rabbit.
Seeing this, Ruan Mi quickly asked, "Oh dear, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?"
Without turning her head, Ruan Tao replied, "I'm going to visit Mr. He next door."
Ruan Mi hurriedly shouted, "You're not allowed to go!"
Hearing her sister's objection, Ruan Tao stopped and turned around, asking with a puzzled and slightly dissatisfied expression, "Why?"
Ruan Mi explained earnestly, "They haven't even come to invite you yet, how can you just rashly go to their door on your own?"
However, Ruan Tao curled her lip in disapproval and said, "Mr. He clearly said just now that he wanted to invite us over to taste his cooking."
Ruan Mi shook her head helplessly and said, "They might just be saying it casually out of politeness. Don't be silly and take it seriously, or go to their door asking for food."
Ruan Tao, however, was very stubborn. She put her hands on her hips, stomped her feet, and retorted loudly:
"I'm going! I already told Mr. He I'd treat him to a late-night snack later!"
After saying that, she ignored her sister's advice, opened the door, and ran excitedly toward He Yuzhu's room next door.
After speaking softly, Ruan Tao reached out and gently turned the doorknob, slowly opening the slightly old but still sturdy front door.
In an instant, an intensely rich fragrance, so strong it seemed to overwhelm anyone, surged in like a tidal wave, instantly filling every inch of the room.
It was the wonderful aroma of various dishes mixed together, rich and tempting, making one's mouth water just by smelling it.
Ruan Tao couldn't help but take a deep breath, her face filled with ecstasy, and she murmured involuntarily:
"Wow, it smells so good!" Before she finished speaking, she had already started walking towards the next unit.
As soon as you enter, the first thing you see is two huge handbags placed in the center of the living room. They are bulging and seem to be full of some treasures.
On the coffee table to the side, a quaint radio lay quietly. Although the knobs and buttons on it were slightly worn, they still exuded a unique sense of age.
At this moment, the small door to the kitchen was wide open, and He Yuzhu could be clearly seen bustling about through the doorway.
He wore a snow-white apron and skillfully handled a spatula and spoon, with crackling sounds and mouthwatering aromas emanating from the pot.
Upon seeing this, Ruan Tao's face immediately broke into a bright smile, and she said:
"Mr. He, your cooking skills are truly amazing! I can't sit still at home because of the aroma!"
It turns out that He Yuzhu deliberately left the door open so that the enticing aroma of his cooking could waft out on the wind and attract the attention of his neighbors.
Unexpectedly, this little trick was so effective that the first person to fall for it was the beautiful and charming Miss Ruan Tao.
