Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Now that you are in Hong Kong, you should take a walk around.

Although Chen Xu had no interest in shopping, when he arrived in the Hong Kong city in the 1960s, he at least got to experience the local customs and culture. Of course, more importantly, he got to accompany his wife and daughter, and bring a few children along.

Chen Xu was worried about the guys who came with him going out alone, especially the two girls Li Lan and Yun Hui. If they got lost, he would have a hard time explaining.

Women who travel far away are definitely a vulnerable group, and are also the favorite targets of people with ulterior motives. They are unfamiliar with the place, and if someone causes trouble, they can't even find anyone to help.

Causeway Bay cannot catch up with Kowloon at this time. After all, it is the current economic center of Hong Kong, but it has also developed very well. The streets and alleys are very modern, which makes Chen Xu feel inexplicably familiar.

The main purpose of the group coming out was to go shopping, not to buy anything.

Chen Xu's family is rich, but it's hard to say about others. The income in Hong Kong is much higher than that in the mainland, and so are the prices. If you want to buy something, you have to exchange it into Hong Kong dollars, which is very troublesome.

So the place this group of people go to most often is Victoria Park.

This is a newly built place with nice scenery. There are commercial streets and various snack restaurants everywhere next to it.

The only thing that was not harmonious was those gangsters who walked in such a pretentious manner.

Moreover, within a few days, Chen Xu and his group had seen various people fighting over territory on the street, and it happened more than once.

Chen Xu would definitely believe what Lou Bancheng said, that Hong Kong is a paradise for the rich. In fact, it is not just Hong Kong, but any glamorous place is like this.

The people at the bottom of society are never the ones who truly enjoy the resources. If someone is kind enough to give them some welfare, it can be considered as kindness. It is just a matter of the extent of this kindness.

Chen Xu suddenly felt a little annoyed with this place. No matter how well it was packaged on the outside, it couldn't hide the ugliness beneath the darkness. As expected, his own world was better.

Chen Xu's mentality has been changing. Compared with the tranquility of his own world, the outside world has become less and less attractive to him.

This is also a very normal thing. It is the same for everyone. There is a space with unlimited development potential. Who would care too much about the outside world? Their own world is definitely better than others.

What made Chen Xu feel relieved was that Chen Dan had gotten over the shock of coming to Gangcheng for the first time. Like his senior brother Hu, Chen Dan now stayed at home. Hu Bugui was the first person to wake up from the prosperity of Gangcheng.

Compared with the colorful world outside, some books on mechanics collected by the Lou family are more attractive to him. He has even neglected sleep and food to read them.

After a day, Chen Dan felt that he could not waste his time like this. He had been observing Chen Xu for the past two days. When his cousin went out for a walk, he was not interested in the temptations from the outside world and spent more time accompanying his sister-in-law and Xiaoyueliang.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e have been following this group of people these days. In Xu Damao's words, the chances of them meeting each other are getting fewer and fewer. This time was just a coincidence, and they don't know how long it will take to wait for the next opportunity.

Lou Xiao'e was similar, running to Lin Chan every day with Little Sun in her arms.

Chen Xu has been staying here for so long that he feels a little homesick.

Lin Chan felt the same way. She felt that the tall buildings around her were more like cages that bound her.

Little Moon would go back to the space to play with the little animals as soon as she came back. She was actually very bored here. The things that adults liked were not attractive to her, and the snacks were not to her taste.

Chen Xu took her to the zoo, and Xiaoyue came back with a sad face.

"Dad, why do they keep the animals in cages..."

Chen Xu touched Xiaoyue's little head.

"Not everyone can be like you, and animals are not safe for others."

Little Moon nodded as if she understood. Obviously, in her eyes, small animals were very well behaved.

But the small animals in her eyes are not just rabbits and poultry, but also include dangerous animals such as tigers and poisonous snakes that can kill an adult in minutes.

Little Moon has gradually begun to realize that there are some differences between herself and other people.

For example, when they were at the zoo, lions and tigers pounced on them. Even though everyone was scared and screaming through the cages, Xiao Yueliang didn't feel that way at all. If it weren't for the cages, she would even want to reach out and scratch the chins of these beasts.

In Little Moon’s heart, these are all her friends. She can feel the animals’ joys and sorrows. Those listless animals locked up are full of yearning for freedom. Little Moon, who can empathize with them, is naturally not in a good mood.

Chen Xu brought Xiao Yueliang out because he wanted her to see the outside world. Human experience is a very complicated thing. All experiences will eventually change a person's character silently and eventually affect his judgment of things.

Many people feel that they have not changed, but if you think back to yourself ten years ago, do you still dare to say that you have not changed at all?

Almost a week had passed by the time Lou Bancheng came to tell him that the equipment had arrived in Gangcheng.

Chen Xu didn't quite understand why the people from the steel rolling mill were called over, but he understood when he saw the foreigners in front of him.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is arrogant. Chen Xu's face turned a little dark. Moreover, this is different from the agreed price. It is not even a price increase. It has more than tripled. It is better to be clear.

Lou Bancheng had a calm face, he had seen a lot of such troubles, in the past he might have helped to intercede, but now it was good enough that he could help to make some connections.

"Boss Lou, are these people your long-term partners?"

Lou Bancheng was puzzled, but still answered.

"That's not..."

"Oh, all right."

Chen Xu turned around and left with his men. The foreigners on the opposite side who felt they had Chen Xu in their hands were dumbfounded.

Chen Xu has never been a good man. The price offered by the steel mill was actually very high, far exceeding the market price. If these foreigners had known what was good for them, he would not have said anything and would have quickly returned to the mainland with the equipment after the transaction.

but now.

Excuse me.

Since you want to take advantage of the situation, don't blame me for coveting your capital.

"Brother Chen, how about I help you pay for it?"

Lou Bancheng came back with Chen Xu. After thinking for a long time, he finally spoke. If it was to help the steel mill, he would definitely not do it, but if he used the money to invest in Chen Xu, he felt it would be more cost-effective.

After all, Chen Xu is still so young and has already achieved his current status. His future is limitless. The Lou family will still have to return in the future. Having a good relationship with them now is like investing in the future.

Although the price of this batch of equipment is not low, it is nothing to the Lou family. He has purchased much more equipment for the steel rolling mill over the years, so this last time is not a big deal.

"Thank you, Mr. Lou, but forget it. I don't have the habit of indulging these foreign devils."

"this..."

Lou Bancheng felt somewhat helpless. He was a businessman and profit was his first priority. Whether he was helping the steel mill after running away, or now offering help in purchasing this batch of equipment, it was only the investment part and was something he was used to.

But Chen Xu is not a businessman. In his opinion, Chen Xu simply cannot stand this humiliation.

But Lou Bancheng is not surprised, all young people are like this, youthful vigor is the hallmark of young people, and they will understand a lot after being beaten by society.

Lou Bancheng never thought that Chen Xu would choose the most direct method.

After all, this is a port city, not a fortified city.

But since Chen Xu is unwilling, then forget it. After all, it is not Lou Bancheng who needs the equipment but the steel mill.
