The Son of Finance of the Great Age

Chapter 58: cold lips

  Chapter 58

  Hong Kong is a small place with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square kilometers and a population of several million. It is one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

  The Chinese government has always had an open-minded attitude towards Hong Kong, even to the point where it wants policy for policy and money for money. In the face of several catastrophes that Hong Kong has experienced, the central government has extended a helping hand in a timely manner.

  To give a very simple example, before the return of Hong Kong, few artists went to the mainland to make movies and TV shows. Because the Hong Kong film industry at that time was known as the "Hollywood" of the East, thousands of Hong Kong films were produced every year, flooding the cultural market in Southeast Asia, and the mainland was also one of the main export destinations for these films.

  With the development of the mainland economy, the cultural industry has also developed rapidly. A large number of Hong Kong artists have seen the vast market in the mainland, and they have put down their former unattainable airs and went north to make money. There was even a period of time when TVB's leading niches and Huadans left collectively and went to the mainland to look for opportunities, which made TVB have to push some immature young people to the foreground, and the drama series produced became increasingly rough. Compared with some productions in the Mainland.

  Of course, these are all things to say later. Ordinary Hong Kong people still have a sense of superiority over people from the mainland.

  Recently, they have been selling off their assets in a hurry, eager to flee Hong Kong.

  The real estate market fell in response, and countless people were waiting to sell at this time.

  This is indeed a good time to buy the bottom, especially for Hong Kong, a place with a small land area and a large population. Hong Kong's wealthy families all have real estate backgrounds.

   Zhong Shi would naturally not let go of this opportunity. If possible, he would even be willing to buy the entire building. Because he knows the development of future generations, the money invested in the real estate market has outperformed inflation and interest, and it is extremely safe.

   Just when he arrived in Hong Kong, Liao Chengde said a word to him with a solemn expression, which made him quite emotional.

   "Zhong Sheng, I have already applied for Australian immigration, and I may go to Australia to retire in the near future!"

  When Liao Chengde said this, he had a complicated look on his face. From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to immigrate, but out of practical considerations, he had to make such a plan.

   "Oh? Then who will go to the immigration prison?" Zhong Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that Liao Chengde was not too young, so it's better to stop as soon as possible, after all, people of his age have a lot to think about.

  Australia is good, with a vast land and few people, and the air environment is also suitable for the elderly. The most important point is that Australia is very close to Hong Kong, and it only takes a few hours to fly back and forth.

  Immigration prison is a kind of immigration policy. Generally speaking, if you want to obtain the permanent residence of this country, you need to live in this country for a year and a half while filing an immigration application, so it is called like going to jail.

   "Of course it's my wife." Liao Chengde smiled self-deprecatingly, quite surprised by Zhong Shi's reaction, "Why don't you ask me why I immigrated, and what will happen to my business in the future?"

   "What idea can you come up with? It's nothing more than that. The business in Hong Kong continues, with the protection of foreigners." Zhong Shi shook his head disdainfully. Many people in later generations did this. For the immigrant generation, it is difficult to integrate into the cultural environment of the other country, and most of them just want peace of mind.

   "Don't you want to say something more?" On the contrary, Liao Chengde got excited and kept asking Zhong Shi.

   "What's there to say! But Lao Liao, in fact, Hong Kong passports are not bad. As long as you don't ask about political matters, living in Hong Kong is enough to make you worry-free for the rest of your life."

   "Really?" Liao Chengde fell into deep thinking.

  …

On this day, they came to Dapu to look at real estate projects. Dapu is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is an industrial park in it. The location is quite good. There are a number of villas in Kangyuan on the top of the mountain waiting to be sold. These are some early villa projects in Hong Kong. , its price is astonishingly high.

However, due to the owner's eagerness to sell, the price was naturally suppressed at a rather low level. Zhong Shi and his team were naturally quite satisfied with the price. After reading it, they signed the agreement readily and waited for the money to be settled before closing the house. .

  Many homeowners are entrepreneurs in the industrial park. They were very satisfied when Zhong Shi, Liao Chengde and others readily agreed. Some even wanted to sell their factories, which made Zhong Shi dumbfounded. Not to mention the high labor costs in Hong Kong, just say that in a few years, the competitiveness of Hong Kong manufacturing will disappear.

After seeing all the houses, it was getting dark. After declining the invitation of an enthusiastic owner to have a meal, Zhong Shi and his party got on the humble minibus and drove away under the infinitely grateful eyes of the owner. .

   "I've made a lot of money this time. When the situation improves, even if we sell at the original price before, these villas can earn at least tens of millions!" Liao Xiaohua said excitedly after doing silent calculations in the car for a long time.

   "Yes! I really didn't expect these people to immigrate in a hurry, and they were able to sell at such a low price. It's really unexpected!" Zhong Yi also echoed.

"This kind of opportunity is rare. I can't wait for things to break out in the north every day, so that we have a lot of opportunities to buy bottoms!" Liao Xiaohua has worked in the accounting firm for two years. Not only is he familiar with accounting matters, Even the relationship between Hong Kong and China is very familiar.

   "Shut up!" Liao Chengde shouted loudly with his eyes wide open. "Do you know what kind of relationship is between the mainland and Hong Kong? It's a relationship between lips and teeth. Do you understand, brat, I haven't learned much about my own culture, and I'm trying to think of some crooked truths from foreigners."

   It's hard for Liao Chengde, he hasn't read many books himself, so he actually understands the truth of the cold lips and teeth. Of course, it is inaccurate to say that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. It should be said that if the skin does not exist, the hair will not be attached. However, this level of idioms is already difficult for Liao Xiaohua to understand. After all, this kid is studying abroad and knows little about Chinese culture. He even stutters in Mandarin.

   After giving such a reprimand to his father, Liao Xiaohua suddenly became stunned, and secretly asked Zhong Yi what he meant by "dead lips and cold teeth" in the back seat.

   "Stinky boy, talk nonsense!" Liao Chengde had finished reprimanding, and there was still some dissatisfaction on his face. After all, he came from the mainland, and deep in his heart he still hopes that the mainland can develop well, which is also the common wish of ordinary Chinese.

  The car drove to Tolo Harbour. There was a port on one side of the road and a mountain on the other side. There were not many pedestrians on the road. The Land Rover stepped on the accelerator and ran forward quickly. This is the New Territories, and there is still a long way to go back to Hong Kong Island.

  Suddenly, a minibus rushed from behind, headed hard, and ran across in front of Zhong Shi and his group's car. The minibus suddenly slowed down, and stopped majestically in the middle of the road.

Due to the sudden incident and the fast speed of both sides, Land Rover slammed on the brakes suddenly, and the wheels drew two long marks on the ground. There was a long "squeak", and the car barely stopped. In front of the car in front, it was only half a meter away from colliding.

   "How did you drive?" Everyone in the car staggered. Fortunately, they were all wearing seat belts, and nothing happened. The fast-talking Liao Xiaohua couldn't help complaining.

   "Something is wrong!" Lu Rover stared at the minibus in front of him, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

While talking, I saw the front car door being pulled open suddenly, and then jumped out of several burly men. They wore hoods and held weapons such as machetes and sticks in their hands. Pointing at the Land Rover in the driver's seat, he shouted: "Don't move around, or I'll shoot you!"

  The people in the car were dumbfounded. They never thought that this seemingly accidental "traffic accident" turned out to be a premeditated robbery.

   "Now I finally know what it means to have cold lips and teeth!" Liao Xiaohua sighed silently in his heart with a mournful face. (One more chapter today, especially to thank Brother Fang for his generous reward!)
