Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

Early the next morning, Li Guohua, under the guidance of Wen Kangsheng, went to dine at the famous Jumbo Floating Restaurant in Hong Kong Island, which is a pleasure boat anchored in Deep Bay.

Because I arrived at night yesterday, I thought Hong Kong Island was already very prosperous. I was even more surprised after seeing it during the day today.

Li Guohua looked at the planes flying in the sky, the endless stream of cars on the street, and the high-rise buildings everywhere around him, which were almost the same as in later times. The bay was full of yachts and cruise ships, and the most outrageous thing was that there were even beauties in bikinis basking in the sun.

If Li Guohua was surprised, Chen Xiangdong and Chen Jiu were dumbfounded.

They had never seen anything like this before, it was like two completely different worlds. Looking at those young and beautiful girls, wearing all kinds of swimsuits, lying on the beach and enjoying a relaxing time, this was something they dared not even think about.

It is so obscene that we must criticize them with our eyes.

"Hahaha, if you two brothers are interested, I can help you arrange it tonight!"

Seeing Li Guohua's expression, he was slightly surprised but then returned to normal. Wen Kangsheng's evaluation of this second-generation rich man increased a few points. As for Chen Xiangdong and Chen Jiu, in his opinion, it was his family who found him a bodyguard, and he was just trying to win over the other party.

"Hehe, Brother Wen, you're joking. The guy next to me is my good friend, and his father is a commander in the army." Li Guohua coughed lightly a few times, reminding Chen Xiangdong and the other man to put away their stupid looks.

"Oh, I didn't expect Brother Chen also has a family background in learning. How disrespectful!"

When Wen Kangsheng heard that Chen Xiangdong's father was a military commander, his attitude changed 180 degrees and his face became much more enthusiastic.

He felt more confident about this deal because the other party had connections in both the military and political circles.

Soon, several people got off the car and took a small boat to the pleasure boat.

Looking at the high-end restaurant with magnificent decoration, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, and the two-foot-long Australian lobster, Chen Xiangdong and Chen Jiu were even more moved because it was the first time they had eaten seafood.

Back home, everyone is still pursuing how to have enough to eat, but here people are already studying how to eat well and how to eat deliciously. The difference is huge.

"Ahua, Hong Kong Island is very expensive and there is money everywhere. As long as you cooperate with me, I guarantee you will make a lot of money! I can't say anything else, but have you seen the villa over there? It is the symbol of Hong Kong Island's rich people. The cheapest one costs 98. I guarantee you will have one when the time comes."

The reason why Wen Kangsheng had been taking the three people to wander around the luxurious area and spend money in high-end places from last night to today was that he wanted to shock the three country bumpkins.

Tell the three people what the outside world is like and prove their own strength at the same time.

"Brother Wen, is your villa also over there?" Li Guohua smiled and asked pretending to know nothing.

Well, Hong Kong Island is very rich and the villas are very nice, but 98 seems like it’s not enough for you to take care of it all by yourself.

"Ahem, this place is too far from the company. My house is in another place, which is no worse than here!" Wen Kangsheng said with a light cough.

How come this little brother has the same train of thought as others? I am telling you to make more money so that you can buy a villa. Why are you concerned about my house? Can I tell you that I can't afford it?

After a hearty meal at noon, Wen Kangsheng took them to visit several stores with better business in the afternoon, and finally arrived at the headquarters of the Fula Chamber of Commerce in Central.

"Ahua, I believe you have also felt our sincerity. Let's talk about the specific cooperation next?" Wen Kangsheng brought the three people to his office with floor-to-ceiling glass windows with a river view, and said casually.

"We naturally know Brother Wen's sincerity. I wonder what and how much you need this first time?" Li Guohua asked.

You should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. No matter how enthusiastic Wen Kangsheng appears, you still need to take necessary precautions.

"Hahaha, take as much as you want. Money is not a problem!" Wen Kangsheng asked his female secretary to make coffee for the three of them, and said in a self-conscious manner.

In his opinion, the mainland's transportation capacity is limited and there are only so many things it can carry.

"One thousand tons of rice, one thousand tons of flour, and 500 live pigs!" said Li Guohua.

This was decided by the superiors, or to test Wen Kangsheng's strength. Today's small cargo ships can't carry too many things, unlike in the future, which can easily carry tens of thousands of tons.

"No problem, you want US dollars or things, from cars to radios, you can get anything you want!" Wen Kangsheng said happily.

I didn't expect the other party to be so powerful. They prepared so many things in just ten days.

"For this first transaction, let's use US dollars. Who knows, I might be able to use it someday!" Li Guohua said, pretending that he was going to the United States.

"Okay, no problem. The exchange rate will be based on Hong Kong's. You can understand that!" Wen Kangsheng said with a smile.

There is no way. Now the official exchange rate of the R is about 1 to 2.7, but we have no foreign exchange reserves and no support from the Soviet Union's steel torrent. Others don't recognize it at all. We are just playing by ourselves.

On the black market outside, one US dollar can be exchanged for more than 400 yuan at most (it’s a unified sales and purchasing system, so you can’t buy anything with money).

Therefore, it is still better to calculate according to the official exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars, so that no one will suffer a loss.

"Okay!" Li Guohua nodded.

Just as a few people were waiting for the trading location and discussing the trading time, the radio next to them came with the good news celebrating that the Hong Kong stock market's daily trading volume had exceeded the 1 billion mark.

Li Guohua knew a little about this. Due to the listing of Jardine Matheson and the influx of nearly one million people into Hong Kong Island starting in the 50s, both the stock market and the property market experienced a brief period of glory.

But in 1965, due to excessive lending by trust banks to real estate, a bank run occurred, which eventually affected the entire banking industry and the Hang Seng Index fell by a quarter.

"Ahua, are you also interested in stocks?" Wen Kangsheng asked curiously.

"I don't really understand, but I see people buying stocks everywhere outside!"

This is not an exaggeration at all. From the rich and powerful to the street vegetable vendors, everyone is talking about which stocks are good, and the streets are full of investment advertisements.

"Hahaha, if you have some spare money you can buy some, such as the newly listed Yihe Commercial Bank and Kowloon Motor Bus. Even if you buy them as an investment, you will definitely not lose money."

Wen Kangsheng obviously also trades stocks and is very familiar with each stock.

Li Guohua naturally has no money to invest, otherwise how can he explain it.

In the afternoon, Wen Kangsheng took the three of them to the tea restaurant downstairs for afternoon tea.

"Ahua, life is short, so you must not mistreat yourself. We Hong Kong Islanders will put aside our work at 3:15 pm (: pm), grab a newspaper, call a few friends and enjoy this beautiful day!"

Seeing that the three people didn't quite understand, Wen Kangsheng quickly introduced the afternoon tea culture of Hong Kong Island.

"So this is what it means to just eat and wait for death!" Chen Jiu muttered in a low voice.

He used to be often scolded by his father for being a livelier and waiting to die. Compared with the people in Hong Kong Island, he is nothing.
