Chapter 6 [First pot of gold]

On the last day of 1946, Lin Zhichao finished his work at the "New Star Newsstand" and the next day he went to Bijia Mountain at the northern end of Kowloon to investigate the terrain here.

He was not here to be a robber. Although he had good physical fitness, he did not come here to build a wooden house, but to make a fortune.

In his previous life, Lin Zhichao read a piece of information about Hong Kong. It roughly means that in late January 1947, Philippine Airlines' "Air Overlord" transported gold worth 15 million US dollars, but it hit the top of the Beacon Mountain. All the gold was lost and the crew members were not alive.

There is also a saying that the police and firefighters in Xiangjiang blocked Bijia Mountain, and when they went down the mountain, it was not very convenient to walk, and only 70% to 80% of the gold was recovered. It is said that these policemen made money because of this. After the Hong Kong government closed the mountain for a few days, they allowed the people to go up the mountain to find gold, and it is said that someone made money again.

The authenticity of these "making money" information is unknown, but no matter what, the plane crash is authentic, so this information is Lin Zhichao's biggest opportunity.

As the saying goes, the "first pot of gold" is the most difficult. Lin Zhichao has no background backing, so it is difficult to develop quickly. Moreover, in this era of chaotic black and white order, there are too many variables and difficulties in gradually developing.

And "time" is the last thing he wants to wait. After all, letting a time traveler spend five years to earn the "first pot of gold", how many opportunities will he lose.

In his previous life, Li Chaoren had 50,000 Hong Kong dollars in startup funds in 1950, and it was impossible for him to make money by working. It is said that it was supported by relatives and future mother-in-law. Even so, he almost went bankrupt in the mid-1950s (poor quality was returned in large quantities, and the bank freezes loans).

Therefore, if you want to succeed, you must have strong capital or deep background; otherwise, it will take many years to get up after one failure.

Or there may be a great opportunity to quickly become rich and become a generation of heroes, such as Liao Baoshan, Chen Weinan and others.

‘Bijia Mountain’ is located at the northern end of the Kowloon Peninsula, close to the later Shikkyu-wei wooden house area, and on the east side is Lion Mountain.

Lin Zhichao needs to be familiar with the route of the entire Bijia Mountain and calculate the approximate time when the police and firefighters arrived.

As for ordinary people, there must be no policemen who arrived first, because Shikunwei is still a certain distance from Bijia Mountain; not to mention that ordinary people do not know that there is a plane falling, and even if there is a noise, they dare not attack rashly.

Once the plane crashes, Kai Tak Airport may get the news as soon as possible, then determine the location of the radar disappearance, and finally notify the police and firefighters; the entire reaction time will take about 30 minutes. The nearest police station, the Fire Department, is expected to take a certain amount of time to reach the top of the mountain. What is important is that they need to search for time.

Overall, Lin Zhichao has about an hour. Of course, he doesn't know the specific direction of the plane falling, but it is said to be the top of the mountain.

And if he keeps staring at the sky as much as possible during the day in late January, then he can save a lot of time looking for it.

15 million US dollars of gold, about ten tons of gold. If the plane crashes, these golds are likely to fall near the ground.

Lin Zhichao is not greedy either. He plans to get 100kg of gold. After all, greed may lead to his discovery and it is difficult for him to get out.

He scored twice for 100kg of gold. He needed to find two places to bury gold in advance. The first time he first used about 50kg of gold to hide the nearest place; the second time he used about 50kg of gold, then hid 20kg of gold in the second place, and finally brought the remaining 30kg of gold back to Hong Kong Island.

Lin Zhichao had already started planning these plans, but now he still needs to conduct on-site inspections and make preparations in advance.

He first came to Shikunwei, not far from the foot of Bijia Mountain, and carried out activities around him as he planned to build a wooden house here.

Shikkyuwei is a famous wooden house area in later generations. With the outbreak of the mainland war, many refugees went to Shikkyuwei to build wooden houses. Then a catastrophic fire broke out, and more than 50,000 people were homeless overnight. The situation was critical. In order to resettle the victims, the British Hong Kong government decided to build a 7-storey H-shaped building in the Shikkyuwei disaster area. By the end of 1954, eight H-shaped buildings were finally completed and became the first generation of public housing villages.

Through activities around, Lin Zhichao's identity was not as alert as others. As for the safety issues caused by many refugees, Lin Zhichao did not take it seriously. Humans died of money and birds died of food. He carried a knife with him, which was the best weapon. Besides, the refugees have not yet formed an organized group.

Day 20, Lin Zhichao came to a place near the top of Bijia Mountain with confidence. After exploring the terrain for 19 days, he was very confident.

In order to avoid encountering the police and firefighters, he decided to get the gold and go down to Lion Mountain next to the road.

The mountains in Hong Kong are not very high (about 500 meters above sea level), so there is no need to worry about getting lost or losing strength at all, so he has enough confidence, provided that the plane will really fall. He has prepared ten days of dry food, canned food, bought watches, flashlights, cold-proof clothes, etc., pretending to be a "refugee" and trying to avoid contact with people.

He camped in hidden places at night for rest, and during the day he came to the open place to watch the sky.

One day, two days, three days, four days, five days.

Lin Zhichao cursed on Bijia Mountain because he found it was too cold and the weather was not good recently, and it was occasionally rainy.

Xiangjiang belongs to the south, and the winter is so cold that it is so cold that it ends in the cold wave very short. Fortunately, he is well prepared and has good physical fitness, otherwise he might have fallen ill.

At the same time, he also understood one thing: this plane crash may be the reason for the bad weather.

Day 6 (25th).

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, Lin Zhichao stood in an open place, looking at the sky, and rested sometimes, but did not dare to rest for too long.

The weather was not good at this time, and a lot of fog filled the sky above the Xiangjiang River, but the more this happened, Lin Zhichao thought that a plane crash might occur.

Suddenly, he saw something falling quickly, and then he heard an explosion.

"Thank God, I didn't blow me to death!"

Lin Zhichao cursed with a smile, and then quickly rushed toward not far away.

According to his rough estimate, the explosion was less than 1 kilometer away, which was a good location.

In less than five minutes, Lin Zhichao saw the scene of the plane crash and there were sporadic sparks. He quickly greeted him happily.

Before he could reach the center of the crash site, Lin Zhichao saw gold scattered all over the ground and corpses.

"Not afraid, only those who are poor are afraid! What are the dead afraid of!"

Lin Zhichao cheered himself up and quickly picked up the gold bars on the ground. He felt a little warm when wearing gloves.

"2.5kg weight"

After getting it, Lin Zhichao shouted excitedly, and then calmly said to himself:

"I only need 50 yuan! I am a future rich man, but I am just a shortcoming start-up capital, and I am not greedy (actually I am already greedy)!"

Next to a corpse, there were many gold bars. Lin Zhichao suppressed his fear, picked it up and put it in his backpack.

"Today's gift, I will give back to society ten thousand times in the future!"

Lin Zhichao was already excited, fear mixed together, and kept muttering.

"Enough, don't be greedy!"

After picking up 25 pieces of gold, it weighed 62.5kg, but under Lin Zhichao's high intensity and excitement, he didn't feel very heavy. He began to rush towards the first treasure land, about ten minutes away.

There were no marks around the treasure-hiding place because Lin Zhichao was worried that those who went up the mountain to find the treasure hunt were found, and the location was quite hidden.

Back next to the plane again, Lin Zhichao became much more calm this time. After getting 25 yuan of gold, he began to retreat without any frigidity. He did not go down the mountain directly, but went to the Lion Mountain next to the road.

The second treasure land was about 20 minutes away from the Bijiashan plane crash and had arrived at the Lion Mountain area. Lin Zhichao put 10 pieces of gold in and buried it, and it was almost impossible to see it, so he continued to rush on his way with confidence.

At this time, he still had 15 pieces of gold on his body, weighing about 37.5kg, which could not cause too much difficulty for him. Although he had consumed a lot of effort before, Lin Zhichao had already stimulated his potential.

"It's much easier!"

Lin Zhichao was not worried about gains and losses. Even if he had a batch of gold survived, he could quickly become a tycoon.

Even if the entire 15 million US dollars of gold is not taken seriously within ten years.

"Go back to the city!"

Lin Zhichao said relaxedly.

At this time, he still had 15 pieces of gold in his hand. I don’t know if it was 37.5KG, but it looked almost the same anyway. As for the gold in Hong Kong, it is currently about 280 Hong Kong dollars (37.5g is one liang, and 16 taels is 600g per catty), so the value of gold on him is about 280,000 yuan.

Of course, he was not that stupid. The marks on the gold bars also need to be dealt with. Although it will be reported that someone went up the mountain to find treasure and made a fortune, it was also a legal income.

At the same time, the price of gold in Hong Kong will continue to rise later, so Lin Zhichao holds at least 960,000 Hong Kong dollars in wealth.

However, these huge wealth need to be washed a little, otherwise people in later generations would have too much speculated on Lin Zhichao's developmental path.

On the way back, Lin Zhichao stopped and stopped. After all, after the high-intensity exhaustion, he was already a little tired; fortunately, it was already Lion Mountain and he was out of right and wrong.
