I want to be a giant of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 10
The young man told the truth. His name was Rong Bensheng. He was the eldest son of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River. He even studied abroad for two years.

After returning from studying abroad, he inherited the family's bank account, but his family property was confiscated because he violated Jiang Zhengquan's regulations prohibiting the circulation and payment of gold and silver.

Rong Bensheng saw that Jiangnan couldn't stay any longer, so he brought his wife and children to Hong Kong Island to seek a way out!

After hearing this, Wu Guangyao said happily: "Mr. Rong, have you found something to do? If not, you are welcome at Laofengxiang Gold and Silver Shop. I can give you an advance salary to help you tide over the current difficulties. You don't have to sell it." Drop the ancestral bracelet."

Although ancient bracelets are good, which one is more important to you?

When Rong Bensheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he quickly said: "Boss, are you telling the truth? I need to pay 100 Hong Kong dollars in advance. The few members of my family are still crowded in a leaky wooden house on the mountain until now." !"

At this time, the poor who fled from the mainland to Hong Kong Island basically built a wooden house on the mountain by themselves, and some were even straw sheds.

Unlike later generations, only rich people on Hong Kong Island can live on the mountain!

It's so pitiful, Wu Guangyao couldn't help but think to himself, "selling off-plan flats" means selling off-plan houses. For Hong Kong people today, it may be a very good idea, and it will actually solve the housing problems of many people. .

Wu Guangyao said to Rong Bensheng: "I will give you an advance of 100 Hong Kong dollars, and you can let your family move into the building at the foot of the mountain. Then I will give you a monthly salary of 50 Hong Kong dollars. If you do a good job, you can continue to increase. How about it?"

When Rong Bensheng heard this, he almost couldn't control his emotions, and he shed tears.

"Thank you boss, I will definitely do a good job!"

No matter how rich Rong Bensheng was before, the life of these few months is simply a nightmare of his life. The feeling of going from heaven to hell must be able to destroy a person.

Wu Guangyao didn't talk nonsense, and directly gave him 100 Hong Kong dollars, and said, "I will give you three days to settle down with your family, and then report for duty."

Wu Guangyao is not afraid that he will take the money and run away, after all, sometimes trust is needed in order to buy people's hearts!

Rong Bensheng took the money and left happily, wishing he could run home immediately.

Tell my wife and kids not to be huddled in that leaky log cabin anymore.

"Xuefang, I'm back, we can move down the mountain!" Rong Bensheng pushed open the small wooden door happily

"Keep down, the second child just fell asleep, did you sell the bracelet?"

Rong Bensheng's wife, Zhou Xuefen, had a complicated tone on her face. After all, she was wearing the bracelet by herself and planned to pass it on to her daughter-in-law in the future.

"No, I found a job, and the boss gave me a salary advance of 100 Hong Kong dollars, you see!" Rong Bensheng waved the Hong Kong dollars in his hand.

"Ah, it's great that you have met a nobleman!" Zhou Xuefen also became happy
"I used to be a nobleman, but I hate that so-and-so confiscated my property for no reason."

Seeing that her husband was in a daze again, Zhou Xuefen quickly said: "Bensheng, the matter has come to this, you must control your mentality, you are no longer a young master, nor a rich businessman. You have to work hard now to repay The kindness of the boss has also allowed the three of us, mother and son, to live a normal life."

Rong Bensheng was originally excited, but after hearing what his wife said, he suddenly realized that his wife and two sons still live in a small wooden house with a leaky rain on the mountain, and they eat vegetarian dishes every day, and they are not full. What are you doing with hatred?

"Thank you for reminding me, my wife. I'm going to rent a house and pick you up down the mountain. You wait for my good news!"

Rong Bensheng was about to go out, but after thinking about it, he took 100 Hong Kong dollars out of 50 Hong Kong dollars and gave them to his wife for safekeeping, before going down the mountain to rent a house.

Wu Guangyao led Rong Bensheng into the hall, and said to Li Xia: "Shop Manager Li, this is Rong Bensheng, take him to get acquainted these two days, let him learn all aspects, and adapt to Lao Fengxiang's model as soon as possible." .”

Li Xia felt a little nervous, is the boss looking for someone to replace her?

"Okay, boss, I will teach him without reservation!" Although Li Xia was worried, she still wanted to listen to what the boss said.

Rong Bensheng hastily stated his position with a very low profile. Up to now, he still doesn't know what position he is in.

However, my monthly salary of 50 Hong Kong dollars is a real high salary in Hong Kong Island.

He has learned that factory workers usually only pay 15 to 30 Hong Kong dollars, so the boss should arrange an important position for himself.

Wu Guangyao is very optimistic about Rong Bensheng!
In today's society, such talents who have studied abroad and been in business are very scarce.

If he is willing to be down-to-earth, he will be a great help to Wu Guangyao in the future, and he can even help Wu Guangyao manage the entire Laofengxiang Company.

"Master Sun, as long as you quietly pass on Lao Fengxiang's casting technology to us, you can get the 500 Hong Kong dollars. Think about it, you can get 500 Hong Kong dollars without knowing it. How easy it is." The boss of Wynn Lai Wang earnestly said

Master Sun is one of the three goldsmiths in Laofengxiang. When he was off work at night, he was invited to the tea restaurant by the boss of Yongli Gold and Silver Shop.

Suddenly, there are several gold and silver shop owners in the tea restaurant, and they all secretly learn Lao Fengxiang's craftsmanship.

"Boss Wang, you have found the wrong person! I am not that kind of person. Boss Wu is very kind to us masters, and I will not betray him!"

In fact, Master Sun has been tempted, 500 Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to ten months' wages.

But I want a little more, after all, this is a risky job.

Boss Wang is very scheming, he noticed the greed in the corner of Master Sun's eyes, and he already paid attention to it.

"Then Master Sun said a price, let's see if we can get it!"

"At least 1000 Hong Kong dollars, I will act as an insider for you, and I am only responsible for the secrets that I can access!"

Since Boss Wang had discovered Master Sun's greed, he naturally would not agree. After a while of haggling, the deal was finally settled at 800 Hong Kong dollars.

After the transaction, Boss Wang couldn't wait to ask: "Master Sun, why can't we achieve that kind of craftsmanship with the same style? Did Lao Fengxiang use some kind of machine for casting?"

Master Sun indicated his money, and Boss Wang smiled and took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket.

"This is a deposit of 500 Hong Kong dollars, and the final payment can only be paid after the completion of the matter!"

"Yes!" Master Sun hesitated and said.

After finishing the order, Master Sun said: "There are a few machines. It seems that the boss designed the mold himself. Do you have a pen? I will draw some sketches for you first, and I will observe carefully later, and then I will hand it over to you! "

Boss Wang said dissatisfiedly, "Why not now?"

Master Sun said embarrassingly: "There are many steps in casting gold. The boss personally participated in it. We still have a little understanding, so there is no way to teach you now. We have to wait for the boss to teach us thoroughly."

"What, that kid can cast gold, it's fine if he looks at the gold, but he can still cast gold?"

"Our boss is an expert in gold, gold, and gold casting, but you don't need to look for the master of gold, because the boss uses a potion of gold. No one knows the formula of this potion, only what it is called. Wang Shui!"

"How can this kid know everything?"

"I heard from him that he learned from his elders in his hometown, but I don't know if it's true or not!"
