Chapter 21 Departure, Hong Kong

  When Zhong Shi and his son returned home, they immediately caused quite a commotion. They left Zhongzhuang empty-handed, but when they came back, they brought a small truck full of high-end electrical appliances, including TV sets, refrigerators, washing machines and so on. Zhong Shi bought three copies of each item and sent them to his grandparents, uncle and his own respectively.

  People in Zhongzhuang are greedy, but also secretly sigh, if only they have relatives in Hong Kong. How could they have thought that these things were bought with the money earned by Zhongshi!

   In June, Zhong Yi finished the end-of-semester exams, and couldn't wait to return home to Jiangzhong Province. For prospective graduates like him who only have their last academic year, it is best to find an internship unit during the summer vacation of their junior year to prepare for the upcoming graduation. Disasters, and no danger of unemployment.

   Like a famous hostess in later generations, after graduating from Yenching University, she was assigned to a start-up energy group and became one of the first batch of veterans. It's just that she was not interested, and finally went to a TV station as a reporter and became a famous beauty anchor.

   "What? Go to Hong Kong in September?"

  Zhong Yi, who had just returned home, saw the color TV and a few other large electrical appliances at home, and knew it was the masterpiece of his genius cousin. He couldn't wait to rush to Zhong Shi's house, when he heard the calm Zhong Shi tell him the most important plan for the second half of the year in a calm and outrageous tone.

   "Little brother, tell me what to do in Hong Kong? Also, how much money do you have now?"

   Zhong Yi, who was at a loss, couldn't help the curiosity in his heart. He just felt that every time he saw this little cousin, there was an unexpected surprise.

   "I'll show you what real finance is and what it means to make money quickly!"

  Zhong Shi raised the corner of his mouth, and said to Zhong Yi with a smile on his face. As for how to make money, there is no need to tell him. After all, the "Plaza Agreement" has not been signed yet, so it is not easy to leak it out in advance. After a long time, he touched his smooth chin, ignored Zhong Yi's eager expression, took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of him, and said slowly: "As for how much money I have now, it's about five million Hong Kong dollars! In fact, the market value changes every day…”

   Zhong Yi couldn't listen to the following words at all. In just half a year, the little cousin has made millions again, and the speed of making money is faster than the rocket. For the first time, Zhong Yi felt a little regretful, did he waste his time in this university?

  The performance of "Cheung Kong Enterprises" is developing rapidly, and the stock price is also changing day by day. Just like Liao Chengde, a small half of his net worth has been invested in it, and now it has doubled several times, making him laugh from ear to ear. Every time I talked with Zhong Shi on the phone, I could feel the arrogance in his tone of berating Fang Qiu.

  Five million Hong Kong dollars, according to the calculation of the official exchange rate, is about two million yuan. In this year when the average salary is tens of years, it is an almost astronomical figure.

  The only thing left in Zhong Yi’s mind is…

During the hot summer vacation, brothers Zhong Yi and Zhong Shi went to the small river at the head of the village to fish and bathe every day. While enjoying the fine sand and fish and shrimp inside, Zhong Shi also felt a lot of emotion in his heart. If economic development is at the cost of environmental pollution, is it worth it?

  In later generations, people gradually realized the importance of the environment, and reinvested a lot of manpower and financial resources in the treatment of rivers and land that had been polluted to a large extent. This is undoubtedly a strange circle of development.

In September, Zhong Yi reluctantly left the small village and returned to the campus of Yanda University. He still had one year to study. During this year, he had to complete the task assigned to him by Zhong Shi. Fight for the opportunity to go to Hong Kong for postgraduate study.

  Zhong Shi is much more at ease. Although he should go to school at this age, he has his own plans for going to school, so he is currently only playing at home. As for that young lady, Zhong Xiaohui, with the help of the two masters, she successfully completed all the homework in the junior high school, and only waited for the next year's junior high school entrance examination.

  Time passed in a hurry, and it was September of 1985 in a blink of an eye.

No matter how unwilling Liu Lan was this time, Zhong Jianjun and Zhong Shi both pulled her into the car to the provincial capital. After all, in the 1980s, not everyone had the opportunity to go to Hong Kong, and Zhong Shi also wanted to take advantage of his parents' youth. , can go to several places.

  When he arrived in the provincial capital, Luo Zhiqiang waited at the station early. He personally took Zhong Shi's family to a hotel under the name of the provincial government, gave them thousands of instructions, and then left happily.

  In the evening, the secretary-general of the provincial government surnamed Liang also came quietly, held Zhong Jianjun's hand and talked a lot in a cloud, which made Zhong Jianjun nod repeatedly and thank the leader repeatedly. In the end, Secretary Liang also noticed something strange, and the smile on his face froze. He rubbed his sore cheeks, and said to Zhong Jianjun in a simple and clear way: "Mr. Zhong, please take care of this matter!"

Zhong Jianjun, who was at a loss, understood this sentence. He didn't dare to agree easily. He looked at Zhong Shi, who was pretending to be playing, and saw that he nodded subtly. Then he pretended to be mysterious and said: "No No problem, don't worry!"

   Secretary Liang, who got the promise, showed a sincere smile, and said goodbye after a few more greetings. He originally wanted to go to Hong Kong with him, but firstly, he was too busy with work to spare time; As long as he finds out the reason why Mr. Liao has not shown up for a long time, he will complete the task.

Secretary Liang, who left the hotel, saw Luo Zhiqiang who was waiting outside the hotel early. He called Luo Zhiqiang to him, gave him careful instructions, and said earnestly: "Zhiqiang, we are old classmates, so I will also I will tell you the truth. Recently, there has been a bad trend among Hong Kong businessmen, saying that the government is forcing investors away, and several people above are struggling with this matter! Once this matter is done, I will be able to To make a good impression in front of the higher-ups, brother, you are also honored, right?"

   "Don't worry, I'll go with you and promise to complete the task!"

  Luo Zhiqiang straightened his face and patted his chest, like a police officer about to blow up a bridge, his face full of determination without hesitation.

  Here, after Secretary Liang left, Zhong Jianjun stopped talking for a long time before he grabbed Zhong Shi by the ear and went into the bathroom.

   "Tell me, what is it?"

   Zhong Jianjun, who had no knowledge of what happened just now, was extremely upset at this moment, especially when he learned that the person who had been holding his hand and greeting him just now turned out to be a member of the provincial government, which made him even more uneasy.

   "Dad, it's really nothing, it's just that they want to see Liao Chengde and want me to bring a message!"

  Zhong Shi endured the pain in his ears, and hurriedly said.

   "Really?"

  Seeing his son's grim expression, Zhong Jianjun thought he had acted too hard, so he quickly let go of his hand, rubbed Zhong Shi's swollen ears, and asked suspiciously.

   "Dad, I dare not lie to you even if I lie to anyone! Besides, I'm just a talker, so it depends on Liao Chengde himself if he comes or not!"

  Zhong Shi chuckled and started talking nonsense. Now in Liao Chengde's heart, Zhong Shi probably weighs more than the governor of Hong Kong, and the governor of Hong Kong will not help him earn so much money.

   Zhong Jianjun looked at the normal-looking Zhong Shi, although he didn't believe it in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about this eccentric son.

  …

  There was a thunderous roar from Nandu Lukou Airport. The flight to Yangcheng soared into the sky and disappeared into the sky after a while.

Liu Lan was sitting on the plane with a pale face, while Zhong Jianjun comforted her in a low voice. In fact, he was not feeling well. The overweight of the plane made him stare at him, but as a man, at this time he was still Be strong.

   When Liu Lan gradually calmed down, Zhong Jianjun had time to look at Zhong Shi who was sitting on the other side, but he was shocked to find that Zhong Shi had already put on the blindfold and fell into a deep sleep. He couldn't help wondering why this kid didn't act like he was flying for the first time, and he acted much calmer than his father.

   Zhong Yi finally found an excuse and asked the courtyard for half a month's vacation. He flew directly from Yanjing to Yangcheng, where he joined Zhong Shi's family.

  The group met in Yangcheng, then took a bus to Shenzhen and Hong Kong, where they entered Hong Kong. In 1985, the construction of Shenzhen and Hong Kong was in full swing, and it was the most dynamic place in China, but there was no airport at this time.

After passing the Luobo Pass, a group of tourists wearing the hats of China Travel Agency saw a group of strong young men wearing black suits, all sunglasses, and half-inch short hair shaved standing like wooden posts at the exit. Liao Chengde was standing in a colorful shirt. In front of a group of men in black, there was still a big cigar in his hand. The people around stayed away from this group of people like avoiding the plague god. In this era, the gangsters in Hong Kong movies all dressed up like this, and it was also the most rampant time, not only the local gangsters, but also soldiers from the Chinese army, commonly known as the "big circle".

Speaking of the "big circle", Hong Kong people in the 1980s changed their faces when they heard the news. Ex-soldiers with powerful firearms and good military training swept gold stores such as Hong Kong Island and Kowloon like a whirlwind. Disappearing without a trace caused headaches for both the Royal Police and local gangsters.

   "Why this posture?"

  As soon as Zhong Shi walked out of the exit, he saw this formation and couldn't help frowning, his face covered with frost. For the rich, the biggest taboo is Lubai. Now that Liao Chengde is making such a big show, Zhong Shi is very disgusted.

  Liao Chengde is also a shrewd person. Seeing Zhong Shi's little face full of displeasure, he explained embarrassingly: "Zhong Sheng, these are actually the bodyguards I hired..."

   Luo Zhiqiang, who was walking at the end, had his eyes straight. He never expected that he would see the target person of this trip just after passing the pass! What shocked him was that Liao Chengde actually humbled himself in front of Zhong Shi, pretending to be ingratiating.
