MTL - The Son of Finance of the Great Age-Chapter 57 Exit encounter

  Chapter 57 Exit Encounter

  In 1989, a major event occurred in China, which had a huge impact on all walks of life in Hong Kong, and also accelerated the pace of companies fleeing Hong Kong.

  Not only those well-known big companies, but even ordinary citizens hold a pessimistic attitude towards the future of Hong Kong, and the wave of overseas immigration has once again set off.

   Countries such as Canada, Australia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom have introduced preferential immigration policies to attract talents from Hong Kong, which in turn affects the flow of immigrants in Hong Kong.

  People want to leave, this property will naturally no longer be held, so the real estate was sold off in large numbers. Those eager to immigrate also made substantial concessions in terms of prices, just hoping to get a sum of cash to leave as soon as possible, so Hong Kong's housing prices fell sharply.

   This kind of time is a good time to buy the bottom!

  Compared to the staggering prices of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands per square foot in Hong Kong in later generations, today's prices can only be counted as the price of cabbage, and even the price of cabbage is not as good as it!

  Liao Chengde was interested in the business opportunity, so he encouraged Zhong Yi to call Zhong Shi. On the one hand, he came to consult his opinion, and on the other hand, he came to seek financial assistance.

  When the Hong Kong stock market fell, Liao Chengde followed Zhong Shi’s words and sold the Hang Seng Index wantonly, making a lot of money. The investment method of this old man is different from that of the younger generation. He has a soft spot for real estate. In fact, real estate is indeed the most profitable investment project in Hong Kong in the next few years and decades.

  The money earned from the stock market crash was invested in Hong Kong's real estate market. In the past few years, the economy has recovered. Liao Chengde saw the opportunity and released the real estate in his hands one after another.

  Looking back at the accounts this time, he made a profit of more than 100 million yuan, which was easier than earning in the stock market. Liao Chengde's whole mind was active on real estate. For other businesses, he is basically in a state of not caring.

In 1987, Zhong Yi also bought a lot of buildings with a lot of cash. In recent years, he has also taken care of Liao Chengde. According to a rough estimate, there are also 200-300 million profits in the account. Now this money is in Standard Chartered Interest in the bank. After discussing with each other, Liao Chengde, Zhong Yi, and Liao Xiaohua felt that it was time to enter the real estate market again, so they called to "ask for instructions".

   Zhong Shi on this side tilted his head and listened for a long time, and finally he heard the meaning behind the words. I dare say that they were interested in the 100 million Hong Kong dollars stored in HSBC. This money is his working capital, in case of emergencies, it is not uncommon to take it out now, but it is better to go to buy the building by yourself.

What Zhongshi didn't know was that the property prices in Hong Kong were falling at an elevator-like speed, and the prices of small and medium-sized residential properties were generally underestimated. In the early 1990s, the real estate market reached an unprecedentedly active state. Basically, this wave of rising waves would not come to an end until 1994.

  Looking at the trend of the real estate market in Hong Kong, it is basically in a rapid upward trend, which is related to the small size of several islands in Hong Kong and the continuous influx of population. After the reform and opening up, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry gradually shifted to the neighboring mainland, while Hong Kong focused on the development of tourism and financial industries, which caused a large amount of capital to flow into the real estate industry.

   Now that Hong Kong real estate has been impacted by some incidents in the mainland, it is indeed a very good time to buy a bargain.

   "It's true!" Zhong Shi said to the serious-looking armed policeman, with a helpless expression on his face.

  This is the customs clearance point, and Hong Kong is opposite. The distance between the two places is only a railing, but it is such a small distance that Zhong Shi has been waiting for nearly an hour.

At this time, the customs clearance was densely packed with armed policemen with live ammunition. The armed policeman standing in front of Zhong Shi had a black AK47 hanging on his chest. There will be a shuttle on him.

  This is an extraordinary period, not only going to Hong Kong, but also postal vehicles from Hong Kong to the mainland must undergo strict searches.

  The stern and unsmiling armed police stared at the passport for a long time, but still couldn’t understand the meaning of some English letters on it. In fact, how many Chinese characters he knew might also be a problem.

   In China, being a soldier is not a good choice. There is a proverb circulating among the people called "a good man should not be a soldier". Although there are some exaggerated elements in this, it is undeniable that this sentence is still very reasonable.

  Under this trend, the quality of the recruited soldiers can be imagined. Naturally, it is commonplace to not understand English, and some people are even illiterate. But in the army, these are pediatrics, as long as you know how to shoot and target.

  The dedicated armed police led Zhong Shi to a small partitioned house, which was very simple, with only two worn-out chairs and a brand-new desk. It seemed that the desk was newly moved, and it seemed out of place with the dilapidated house.

  After placing Zhongshi in the small house, the armed police went out and did not forget to lock the door with a bang. Zhong Shi sighed helplessly, looked around and waited for more than half an hour, but no one came, so he fell asleep on the desk and dozed off.

   After an unknown amount of time, Zhong Shi's stomach rumbled, indicating that he was hungry. Waking up from hunger, Zhong Shi shouted at the armed policeman standing guard outside the window: "Hey, comrade, can you bring me something to eat?"

  The armed policeman who was smoking looked at Zhong Shi vigilantly and confirmed that he was not acting unusual, then turned his head contemptuously, as if he hadn't heard what Zhong Shi said.

  Seeing his reaction like this, Zhong Shi knew that it would be futile to yell any more. He sat back on the chair dejectedly, thinking sadly in his heart: "Could it be that I'm going to starve to death here?"

   Waited until midnight before a leader who looked like a leader rushed over, and the accompanying people still had bread and milk in their hands. The leader looked about forty years old, wearing a grass-green military uniform, his face was already full of wrinkles, his face was wide and high, his complexion was dark, and his eyes were bloodshot.

   "Tell me, how did you get this passport, and who is behind you!" The leader threw the passport on the table and said expressionlessly.

   "This is my own passport, no one will back it up for me!" Zhong Shi, who was wolfing down, was stunned, and a large piece of bread happened to choke in his throat, which made him very uncomfortable. "What? Is this trying to treat myself as a fugitive?" He thought secretly in his heart.

   "Tell me about your origin, what you are doing in Hong Kong, and who is in your family!" The leader saw that his dismissal had not worked, so he changed his tone and said to Zhong Shi in a deliberative manner.

   Zhong Shi didn't like this kind of superior speaking attitude, but he had no choice but to bow his head under the eaves, so he had to pick out some important things from childhood to adulthood.

  When he heard that Zhong Shi was only thirteen years old, the leader's expression softened significantly. After Zhong Shi finished speaking, the leader stared at Zhong Shi's eyes for a long time, trying to find some traces, but all he saw was honesty and indifference.

   After sitting for another half an hour, the leader said again: "We will verify the situation you said, and hope you can cooperate with our work!" After speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.

   "Wait, how long do I have to stay here?" Zhong Shi said hastily.

   "As soon as possible, you can leave the country tomorrow!" The leader paused, and the cold voice made people shudder.

   "Can someone bring me something to eat, I don't want to starve to death here." Zhong Shi hurriedly said again, he was indeed a little scared of this state where no one cared and no one asked.

  The leader snorted and went out. I don't know whether he agreed or not.

   To Zhong Shi’s comfort, after staying for two days for no reason, he finally got his passport back, and crossed the border line under the vigilant eyes of the armed police.

  As soon as he got out of the gate, he saw Land Rover leaning against the back of a Mercedes-Benz and smoking a cigarette. There were cigarette butts under his feet. It was obvious that he had been waiting here for a long time.

   "Zhong Sheng, are you here?" Lu Rover kept his eyes on the exit. As soon as Zhong Shi appeared, he found out.

   "..." At this time, Zhong Shi just wanted to cry, and seeing Lu Rover's concerned eyes, he suppressed his tears and forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

   "It's good to come out!" Lu Rover quickly threw down the cigarette on hand, walked up to Zhong Shi in three steps at a time, looked at him carefully, and then carefully helped Zhong Shi get into the car. He could tell at a glance that Zhong Shi's physical condition was not right at this time, and he was very weak.

  What Zhong Shi didn’t know was that calls had been made to his home in the past two days, as well as Zhong Yi’s and Liao Chengde’s homes in Hong Kong. With the reassurance of Liao Chengde, a well-known Hong Kong businessman, Zhong Shi passed the pass so quickly.

   At this time, Liao Chengde and Zhong Yi were resting in a nearby hotel. They also waited for two days, and they couldn't bear it anymore, so they found a place to rest. Big Brother has already appeared this year, so it is very convenient to connect.

   After taking a hot bath, Zhong Shi lay on the bed, thinking about moving to Hong Kong. After experiencing these inexplicable things, this idea is extremely strong, even stronger than ever.

  But now he is very helpless, his parents and others living in his hometown are not willing to come out at all, and he himself is not of legal age, so he can only wait for a few more years.

  Although this encounter is bizarre, it is just in an extraordinary period, and it should be stricter. It seems that after 9.11 in later generations, the security of the airport has reached an unbelievable level.

  After resting for two days, the Zhong brothers and Liao's father and son boarded an unremarkable minibus together, looking for real estate everywhere. (Special thanks to book friends for their secret rewards! Thank you for your support!)
