Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 76: The easiest way to change your name is to build the tallest building!

At that time, the financial center of Hong Kong Island was in Central.

However, there are not as many high-rise buildings as in later generations.

Due to the gathering of merchants,

The most popular ones here are restaurants.

Such as Jincheng Tea House, Deyun Tea House, Gaosheng Tea House, Lianxiang Tea House, Datong Restaurant, Lu Yu Tea House, Xia Hui Restaurant, etc.,

Groups of financial professionals who come to Hong Kong from all over the world like to chat in teahouses.

They also include celebrities such as He Xian...

Gao Yao didn't know this,

He was just surprised by the sight before him,

Bonham East Street is crowded.

The current situation is turbulent,

Because the national government plundered people's property,

Some well-connected sailors took gold south to Hong Kong Island and Haojiang River.

Most of the people in front of Gao Yao were tourists from Shiliyangchang and Guangdong and Guangxi.

These people are like crucian carp crossing the river,

Bonham East Street is crowded every day...

Gao Yao secretly complained,

This is troublesome,

The car will definitely not be able to drive in.

He parked the car outside,

Then he and Ya Qi carried a bag of gold and squeezed inside.

yesterday,

Gao Yao made an appointment with the owner of the amusement park to meet at Baochang Bank.

In two years,

A friend of the owner of Baochang Bank will open a bank here named Baosheng.

Ok,

It was here that the fourth uncle who brought 1000 Hong Kong dollars to Hong Kong Island started his business.

But he hasn't come yet.

Gao Yao's impression is that this fourth uncle came to Hong Kong Island only in 48.

Otherwise, you can come here to recruit people.

When the time comes, the two Xiao Lis will do things for themselves...

That's really a great merit,

Brother wants to think,

When the time comes, I may not be able to achieve immortality with this merit...

My boss has arrived early,

He was so squeezed that he was sweating.

Standing at the door, he looked like a willow in the wind,

"Boss Gao, Boss Gao..."

The boss couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Gao Yao and Ya Qi coming with bags.

He put his feet up and waved desperately,

"Here, here."

The boss took the initiative to give Gao a thumbs up.

"Mr. Gao, this is you."

Gao Yao was startled.

The boss was already impressed and said,

"Mr. Gao saves people from fire and water. He is really a role model for us."

"But I care about money, and I really don't deserve to be a son of a man."

"Mr. Gao, let's calculate the price at 20 yuan per square foot."

Only then did Gao Yao think about it,

It turned out that he was talking about rescuing people at the dock.

In the past, I had to compete with this boss for money.

After arguing for a long time, we finally managed to negotiate a price of 21 yuan.

Unexpectedly, because of this,

The boss actually took the initiative to reduce another piece?

"No, no, no."

Gao Yao didn't want to take advantage of this.

The boss said seriously,

"Mr. Gao, although you say you don't repay kindness, you have saved dozens of people."

"That's dozens of families with immeasurable merit."

"Although I am only a small businessman, I also know that a righteous man is hard to find. Please allow me to express my admiration."

He casually said,

"It's just a few thousand dollars, Mr. Gao, just think of it as helping each other, how about that?"

At that time, people kept their promises,

Quite a bit of a chivalrous spirit,

Compatriots from the same hometown and the same clan only need one word.

We can help you unconditionally.

If we don’t have this kind of spirit,

How can a group of people who left their hometowns develop a small fishing village like Hong Kong Island into an international metropolis?

That's all said and done,

Gaoyao is so pretentious,

This is one less piece.

I am nearly 2 yuan short.

This is a huge sum of money!

The people at Baochang Bank obviously also knew about Gao Yao,

Despite their busy schedule, they even specially prepared a tea room for Gao Yao.

The helmsman is quite sorry.

"Mr. Gao, I'm sorry, I have a lot to do today."

"Should be."

Gaoyao just squeezed all the way here.

The dozens of gold shops on Bonham East Street are so busy that it’s hard to get away.

But the people at Baochang Bank specially opened a tea room for themselves.

<divclass="contentadv">Gao Yao thought that doing good deeds these days would still pay off.

More reliable than later generations...

Gao Yao smiled and put the gold in his hands on the ground together with Ya Qi.

"Don't let me affect your business."

He came here today just to buy land.

That's Causeway Bay,

Just keep it in hand and cover it without selling it.

wait till later,

This land is enough for Brother Yao to make a fortune.

It's just that this is not what I want.

He was anxious to use this land to build a sign for himself.

Gold is naturally pure gold,

The gold-breaking master inspected very quickly.

After confirming,

The lawyer began to draft the contract,

The boss chatted with Gao Yao,

"Boss Gao, to be honest, that place is really not suitable for a playground."

For so many years,

This was the first time that Dongjia encountered a righteous man who acted bravely for justice in his own surroundings.

He was filled with admiration in his heart,

That’s why I took the initiative to tell Gao the truth.

"If you can get through the door, Mr. Gao, that place is suitable for building development."

So who is a fool these days?

If this boss hadn’t planned to move his family to Nanyang for development,

Gao Yao couldn't pick up this leak at all.

But this is also the reason why I need to take the initiative and dare to ask.

Also because of this,

Only brother is so lucky.

Before doing it,

Gao Yao would not express his thoughts.

But now the two parties have delivered,

Moreover, he is open-minded and natural,

Brother Yao said,

"Brother Liang, it is indeed as you expected. I plan to develop a building there."

Gao Yao added,

"A 17-story high-rise building."

Why 17 and not 18?

Of course it’s because 7 up and 8 down,

People here on Hong Kong Island believe in Feng Shui.

Even if you don't believe it, you have to cater to the local tastes even if you don't believe it.

So he only planned to build 17 floors.

Don't look at future generations when buildings are often hundreds of meters high.

It’s not that easy to build a tall building these days…

Since the Hong Kong government has been imposing height restrictions,

There are only a few local construction companies that can build high-rise buildings.

And you have to hire a professional designer...

This also requires reporting to the Hong Kong Governor and the Executive Council for approval...

one pile,

Piece by piece,

They are all hard-nosed.

Brother Liang was shocked.

He was going to take a snuff bottle,

After hearing this,

It seems like my hands have nowhere to put them.

"The next generation is to be feared, the next generation is to be feared..."

Brother Liang was stunned,

"HSBC is not as powerful as you."

HSBC is the God of Wealth in Hong Kong Island.

Most of the time, what its chief executive says is more effective than what the Hong Kong governor says.

But its headquarters at 1 Queen's Road Central is only 12 floors up!

As a result, Gao now wants to build a 17-story high-rise building.

Young people are ambitious.

"Brother Liang."

Gao Yao wrote lightly,

"Can't we always let the ghost guy be proud?"

"Isn't this world ours?"

I sigh in the lonely ocean,

Brother Liang is sincerely convinced,

anyway,

He really admired this young man,

Dare to risk your life to save others,

Dare to give it a try,

"Mr. Gao is really impressive."

"Unfortunately."

Brother Liang said,

"I do have some friendship with Chairman Zhou's family of the Bank of East Asia, but...I'm afraid they can't provide a loan to Mr. Gao."

At that time, banks were very cautious about lending.

At the very least, it is difficult to obtain loans for areas such as real estate, shipping, and entertainment.

So it was very difficult to develop these things at that time.

Because we have to rely on our own funds to develop...
