Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

Mr. Huo sighed, he has seen many poor people like this these days.

Especially after the surrounding rents skyrocketed, many people were driven out by those black-hearted landlords to live on the streets.

Back then when he was poor, he was like them, not to mention a place to live, not even food! Not to mention the fried chestnuts with sugar, even the rock sugar used to fry the chestnuts can’t be afforded! Often a piece of rock candy was broken, and each family member only shared a little bit, so he pressed a little bit of rock candy under his tongue and slowly melted, tasting the slight sweetness.

Later, he went to the sea to make a living, and after he went ashore, he ate sugar-fried chestnuts for the first time, and then he realized that there is such a delicious food in this world.

So he bought a large bag of fried chestnuts with sugar and wrapped it in a handkerchief with the first money he earned from the sea. He was reluctant to eat it, and ran home to share with his wife.

It was dusk, he and his wife were snuggling together, sitting on the beach, watching the sunset, eating sugar-fried chestnuts, and telling the vision of the future.

At that time, he said to his wife, "I must be prosperous! I want you to eat well and live well! I want you to be a rich wife and not suffer for the rest of your life!"

Now, he did it!

"Sir, do you want a portion of fried chestnuts with sugar?" The stall owner couldn't help asking when he saw Mr. Huo staring at his fried chestnuts for a long time.

"Yes! Give me the biggest share!" Huo Dahuo with his hands behind his back, arrogantly!

Seeing that the owner of the fried chestnut looked like he was rich and rich, he smiled happily: "Good!"

Soon, a large bag of fried chestnuts with sugar was wrapped, and the boss held it in both hands and handed it to Mr. Huo: "Chenghui! Five yuan!"

"Oh!" Mr. Huo took the chestnuts, took the money from him by the way, and then——

He was stunned!

Since he developed, he has not brought money every time he goes out! To be precise, there is a driver, or a servant to help pay!

But immediately he had an idea, took out the 3 million cheque that Shi Zhijian gave him, and handed it to the boss: "Here is a 3 million Citi cheque, looking for money!"

"Huh?" The boss was stunned!

Three million, looking for money?

This man is crazy!

Mr. Huo was about to pinch a sugar-fried chestnut and throw it into his mouth, when the boss grabbed the sugar-fried chestnut and said, "This boss, I'm in a small business, you don't want to play with me! I If I can find you three million, why do I still use morning and night to do this?"

Mr. Huo was stunned for a moment and came to understand: "Then I owe it first! I will have someone bring money to pay you back! Uh, I will pay you double! Can't you get it?"

"Cut! I didn't expect a person like you! You can tell any lies for the sake of eating sugar and fried chestnuts! No money, no money! What are you bragging about?"

"Hey, why are you like this?" Big Brother Huo pointed at the other person's nose, angry.

At this time, "I helped him pay for the money!" Shi Zhijian appeared in front of the booth with a smile, and handed out a five-dollar bill.

The boss took the money and gave the sugar-fried chestnuts to Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian stuffed the sugar-fried chestnuts into Mr. Huo and said, "Get in the car!"

Big Brother Huo glared at him and snorted: "Stinky boy! Didn't you leave, why did you come back?"

"I'm afraid that someone doesn't have the money to buy candy-fried chestnuts!" Shi Zhijian smiled slightly, "I'm even more afraid that Huo Shao would seek revenge from me and tell me that I would leave his old beans on the road!"

"You know what you're afraid of? Let me tell you, our family Zhenting is very powerful. We have practiced Western boxing! Break your head!" Huo Dahu waved his fist and showed off his power.

"Then you still can't get in the car?" Shi Zhijian walked over to open the car door and asked with a smile.

"Of course! I'll give you a chance to atone for your sins! Also, I won't pay back the money for the sugar-fried chestnuts. You asked me to eat it!" After saying that, Mr. Huo tilted his neck and stepped into the car.

But before he could step into the car, he seemed to remember something, turned his head and walked towards the dirty little girl, opened the candied chestnuts he had wrapped, grabbed a handful and stuffed it in, "Nan, grandpa, please. Eat chestnuts!"

The little girl stared in disbelief.

Big Brother Huo shoved the chestnuts directly into her little hands: "Take it!"

The little girl just woke up like a dream, and said to Huo Huo hurriedly, "Thank you, grandpa!"

"No thanks!" Mr. Huo generously stuffed the whole bag of chestnuts, and said cheerfully, "Your grandfather's call made me happy! Please invite your family to eat too!"

The little girl was so happy that she hurriedly carried the chestnuts and ran back to her parents who were squatting next to the trash can.

Seeing this, the couple stood up and bowed to Mr. Huo from a distance.

Mr. Huo nodded with his hands behind his back, smiling brightly, then his smile faded, and he turned back to Shi Zhijian and said, "Boy surnamed Shi, buy me another copy!"

...

At the same time, Jiahe Cinema.

Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao came out of Jiahe Cinema.

Xu Sanshao yawned and looked at the lively crowd around him.

People are discussing how good this "Chu Liuxiang" is tonight, and how good the acting skills of Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhao Yazhi are.

"What a man! Zheng Shaoqiu only knows how to pretend to be handsome, and that Zhao Yazhi is just a vase! These audiences are so ignorant!"

"It's almost New Year's Eve, let's have a good time!"

"Really?" Xu Sanshao glanced around, then pointed to the homeless people on the side of the road and said, "Is this called the smell of wine and meat in Zhumen, and the road has frozen bones?"

Huo Shao was stunned for a moment. Compared with the homeless poor people, the middle class watching movies in the cinema, and the common people with surplus food, there was a sharp contrast.

A couple who had just watched the movie walked past them. The girl didn't seem to be satisfied with the egg **** that her boyfriend had just bought for her, so she took a bite and threw it on the side of the road.

The boyfriend hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiaoli! Next time I go to Macau to buy you delicious food!"

"Look at your performance!"

The girl took the boy's arm and left.

As soon as the couple left, four or five homeless homeless people rushed over to grab it!

"this is mine!"

"I saw it first!"

For them, this greasy discarded egg **** is a food to fill their stomachs!

Huo Shao looked at these poor people and couldn't help sighing: "Isn't it because of Hong Kong real estate? So many real estate developers want to get money, these people can only sleep on the road and be beggars!"

Xu Sanshao: "So since I took over Xu's construction, I swore that I would rather earn less than lose my heart!"

Huo Shao glanced at him, then suddenly gave a thumbs up and said, "Do you know, I admire you so much just based on this sentence!"

Xu Sanshao shrugged and said helplessly: "In fact, I can only talk about it! Xu's construction is not mine alone. Even if I don't want to ask for money, other shareholders don't want to!"

Huo Shao nodded, "Yeah! Back then, our Huo family property was very impressive, but we were sanctioned by the British Hong Kong government because we were close to the mainland - no land was granted! Once the land was approved, it was not covered! All kinds of troubles! It's hard work! In the end, when those shareholders saw that they had no money to make, they ran away and withdrew their shares from our Huo Corporation!"

After a pause, Huo Shao continued: "Now my old bean looks very majestic on the surface, and I am still the president of the Hong Kong Real Estate Development Association! But everyone knows that his name is not worthy of the name. Huo's real estate has been weak for many years, and his strength has grown. It's not as good as before. Li Zhaoji, Guo Desheng, and Feng Jingqi of the three real estate tycoons can overwhelm our Huo family! By the way, there is also that Li Jiacheng, whose real estate company is also very good! Recently, several real estates have been developed, and I can't help it. less money!"

"What about Ah Jian, do you think he will also become a real estate tycoon in the future?" Xu Sanshao asked suddenly, "I don't know why I always have an illusion that Ah Jian seems to be in control of the entire development trend of Hong Kong, like a bet. Every time he guesses it!"

Huo Shao couldn't help rubbing his chin and nodded: "You and my heroes see the same thing! I always have this feeling, A solid is too crazy! Just like winning the Wharf this time, in my opinion, he is the one who marched. A signal for the real estate industry!"

"how to say?"

"Have you forgotten that Wharf will build a new port after the relocation, and the port area will soon become a prime location. As long as a department store, a shopping plaza, and various port facilities are built next to the port, it will be developed! "

"I believe this! But where does his money come from?" Xu Sanshao spread out his hands, "Don't forget that he still owes us the Xu family, the Huo family and the Bao family totaling 15 million! The development of the port must be at least 15 million. Ten million, it's three to ten million in this way----what do you want him to do? Are you going to sell it?"

Huo Shaoguai laughed: "It's a good idea to go out and sell it! Ah Jian is such a handsome boy, I don't know how many rich and powerful wives in Hong Kong covet him! Then we will arrange him on the Kowloon Flower Boat, you can help him solicit customers, I will In charge of collecting the money, a resentful woman charges 10,000 yuan, and if A Jian wants to get the full 30 million, he has to pick up at least 3,000 resentful women, how miserable!"

"Yeah, that requires great perseverance! As long as you work hard, the iron rod can be ground into a needle!" Xu Shao also had a wicked look on his face.

The two imagined that Shi Zhijian was sitting on the Kowloon Flower Boat with makeup and powder, like those singing girls.

"When the time comes, let him sing! Doesn't he like to blow water, how talented he is, and knows how to compose "The Wind Continues to Blow" and "Fascinated in Secret"? Let him sing these songs at that time! Those who sing well will give it to him Reward, if you don't sing well, reward him with a slap!" Xu Sanshao continued to fantasize.

Huo Shao blinked: "Is it bad for us to do this? How can we say that Ajian is also our friend! How can we watch Ajian be beaten by those old women and remain indifferent?"

Xu Sanshao also deeply blamed himself, "What you said is true! We have to do something! How about we applaud from the side?"

"Okay!" Huo Shao clapped his hands and laughed, "A Jian is slapped, we applaud together! This is also a spur and encouragement to him!"

"Yeah, there are so few friends like us now!"

"Yes, I'm almost moved by myself! Even if the world is full of misunderstandings about us, we have to train Ah Jian to become a talent!"

Just when the two guys, Xu Shao and Huo Shao, were infinitely interested, bang bang bang! The sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded next to them, startling the two guys.

"What are you doing?"

"Who's firing a gun?"

The two were guilty of being thieves, and they looked at the reputation, but saw a little kid nearby who bought a bunch of "two kicks" from nowhere, and was laughing and playing with a group of friends.

"It's okay!" Xu Shao and Huo Shao looked at each other, and each broke a cold sweat.

"I don't know that the unfortunate one was cheated by A Jian tonight?!"

"Yeah, I'd love to know too!"

The two hurriedly changed the subject, for fear that the bad things they said before would be heard.

"It's almost New Year's Eve, that unlucky guy must have a bad year!"

"So sorry for him!"

clap clap clap!

Another series of firecrackers!

Xu Huo and the two hurriedly jumped away, annoying firecrackers! Nasty kids! They are getting older, and the most annoying thing now is the New Year!

In the past, during the Chinese New Year, the New Year's money could be collected, but now they are giving away the New Year's money!

In the past, I was constantly looking forward to growing up, but now I am afraid that I will grow old!

...

clap clap clap!

A string of firecrackers bounced on the ground and exploded into a ball of red confetti!

In the open space in front of the villa, Li Jiacheng's son, Aju, who is eight years old this year, was setting off firecrackers with a long torch. The old housekeeper, Uncle Zhong, was cautiously guarding him for fear of any accident.

"Uncle Zhong, give me another bunch!"

"Don't, young master! Setting off firecrackers is very dangerous, or you might blow yourself up!"

"Other children are not afraid, some even dare to set off firecrackers!" Aju said unhappily with his head tilted, "Dad said that I am a little man, if I dare not even set off firecrackers, what a man would I be? ?"

Uncle Zhong had no choice but to take out another string of relatively safe firecrackers and said, "Then you can put this string, the lead is long and it's not easy to hurt!"

Ah Ju shook his little head into a rattle, "I kept this string of firecrackers to play with Bo'er! I can't let it go now!"

"Any baby?"

"It's Jiang Meibao! We are good friends!" Aju said proudly, "Bao'er is so pretty, like a doll! Many boys like to play with her!"

Uncle Zhong remembered, isn't that Jiang Meibao's daughter Shi Zhijian's daughter? I remember last year or the year before, when Boss Li's factory held a tea party, the little girl went with her grandmother. Aju and her were hiding under the table and had a big accident!

"Aju, if I tell you, you'd better not play with that Jiang Meibao in the future!"

"Why?" Ah Ju raised his little head in puzzlement~www.readwn.com~.

"Because your dad will be unhappy."

"Why is my father unhappy?"

"Because that Jiang Meibao's uncle, the one named Shi Zhijian, is a business rival with your father! They often fight back and forth!" Uncle Zhong felt that he explained too much to the child, and I'm afraid he didn't understand either.

Ah Ju smiled: "Then my dad must have lost."

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"If my dad wins, he won't stop me and Bo'er from playing! Because we are big winners, we must convince people with morality! We must be magnanimous! But if my dad loses, he will feel ashamed , I'm embarrassed to let me and Bo'er play together, so I'm afraid of being told about his loss and being laughed at!"

Uncle Zhong was stunned and looked at Aju with a look of surprise, this is really a dragon and a dragon and a phoenix, and a son born of a mouse can burrow!
