The birth of the Hong Kong Island family

"Mr. Zhang, can you make it cheaper? The land price of 220,000 yuan is a bit expensive!" Lin Zhichao's face was a little ugly. He did not expect that the 4,800 square feet of land at No. 46-48 Shanlin Road was as high as 220,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, the whole of Hong Kong may be like this - the land price is expensive, the rent is expensive, but the unit price of the property is not high.

Zhang Guanfeng is a 60-year-old Jinshan uncle (an overseas Chinese from Guangdong Province who came back to retire). Perhaps because he is getting older and is not happy to rebuild it on his own, he wants to sell his dilapidated properties.

I saw that he calculated Lin Zhichao as carefully as a Chaozhou native.

"Xiao Lin, you spent 220,000 yuan to buy these three dilapidated buildings of mine. You only need to spend another 100,000 yuan in construction fees, plus some taxes, and the maximum investment is 350,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now the rent outside It’s so high, you’re sure to make a profit. If I’m not too old and don’t want to work hard, I’ll rebuild it myself.”

Lin Zhichao smiled wryly and said, "I'm a real estate company. After the construction is completed, I naturally want to sell it."

Zhang Guanfeng immediately said: "That's a good deal. It's no problem to sell it for 450,000 Hong Kong dollars after it's built. You can earn 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in just over a year. You're not satisfied yet!"

According to the normal situation, it is absolutely impossible to earn 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. It is obvious that Zhang Guanfeng is fooling Lin Zhichao's ignorance. After all, the whole building is for sale, and it is impossible for others to give 25 yuan per square foot.

In order to save some money, Lin Zhichao once again sang the bitter trick: "But the current properties are easy to rent but hard to sell. A building costs more than 100,000 yuan, and few people can afford it. Otherwise, be less careful and take care of the younger generation. It gives me some comfort.”

"It's at least 218,000 Hong Kong dollars. The old buildings on the land are very attractive now. If you don't want it, I'll find another seller." Zhang Guanfeng also used his trump card.

"If it's not 215,000, we can give the money right away!"

After some talking.

Fortunately, it was 5,000 yuan less.

"Okay, it's settled like this. We will go to Gao Luyun's Law Firm tomorrow to sign the contract."

"No problem! You pay the lawyer's fees!"

"It's natural!"

"Actually, I paid for it, and I gave you 5,000 yuan less."

"Then thank you Mr. Zhang!"

"Haha, you are quite good at bargaining, no wonder I gave you 5000 less without knowing it."

After a lot of coaxing and deception, Lin Zhichao finally saved 5,000, and he felt very comfortable.

Recently, he sold the 5 gold bars in his hand to another gold store and bank account, and obtained 92,000 in cash; of which he injected HK$258,800 into Changjiang Real Estate, and after paying the rent, only about HK$250,000 was left.

Now it seems that Changjiang Real Estate's funds will soon be reduced to more than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. Under normal circumstances, this amount of funds is not enough to cover the first payment of construction costs, which is really shabby.

As for Lin Zhichao, only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars are used for living expenses. As for the gold from Beacon Hill and Lion Rock, Lin Zhichao plans to get it in March or April.

"Boss, I didn't expect you to cut off 5,000 yuan from Mr. Zhang. It's amazing!" After the two left, Hu Zhaoxu said.

Lin Zhichao smiled and said: "I used to sell newspapers, and I am best at dealing with such little old men."

Hu Zhaoxu was dumbfounded. He could afford a piece of land worth 220,000 Hong Kong dollars. Could he be a newspaper seller?

Of course, he just smiled and didn't ask any further questions. The boss can talk, but he can't ask.

Sitting in the rickshaw, Lin Zhichao had a sudden whim and said, "Driver, show us around Tsim Sha Tsui."

Since coming to Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao has often been in Hong Kong Island, and rarely comes to Kowloon. Today is just a chance to take a look. Moreover, since you want to do real estate, you must be familiar with every street, even every building and every shop in Hong Kong. Only then can you be a qualified real estate developer.

"Okay, sit tight!"

The two coachmen pulled up hard afterwards, after all, they might meet a high-profile customer today.

In this era, the area around Tsim Sha Tsui was the old wharves and warehouses of Wharf, not the Harbor City, the commercial center of later generations. It occupied a large share of Hong Kong warehouses. As long as you were engaged in shipping, you had to devote a lot of money to it. Wharf, a subsidiary of the Jardine Matheson Group; later, because the Wharf charges were too high, even the Hong Kong government could not handle it. Jardine made Chinese businessmen angry and resentful. This foreign company should be the most hated foreign company by Chinese businessmen.

Along the coast, there are numerous berths in Tsim Sha Tsui and Tai Kok Tsui for supply ships and barges.

Extending eastward from Tsim Sha Tsui is the warehouse of the famous Blue Chimney Steamship Company, which was owned by the Swire Group. It was later taken over by Shark Dantong of the New World and built into the New World Center.

East Tsim Sha Tsui has yet to be reclaimed.

Beyond that is the huge Whampoa Dockyard, which is far away from the Taikoo Dockyard in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong Island.

The entire coast is almost all the land of British foreign companies. These British companies made a lot of money by relying on these properties.

On the coastal streets of these warehouses and docks, there are various shops serving shipping, full of hemp ropes, machinery and various ship supplies. In addition, there are bars and restaurants dedicated to sailors.

Now that Lin Zhichao has finally settled down in Hong Kong, he enjoys it in these places. He is quite leisurely and elegant, and he is not worried about safety issues. In Xiangjiang, rich people are often the most difficult to provoke. Who knows if it is because of their monstrous background, no one should take the initiative to provoke him.

Appreciating the scenery of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, my mood is completely different from when I first arrived in Hong Kong.

"Don't run away if you have the guts!"

Just as Lin Zhichao was leisurely touring the blue chimneys of this era, a violent voice sounded, scaring the rickshaw driver to accelerate suddenly.

Lin Zhichao turned around and found a group of people chasing a man holding a child. There was a woman beside the man, running in the same direction as them.

He frowned, thinking that it would be better not to harm an innocent person like him; but Lin Zhichao was not afraid. His courage had already adapted to this chaotic era since he risked his life to pick up gold (the probability of being killed by a plane).

After all, the coachman was pulling people, so he couldn't run away at all, and his speed quickly slowed down.

"It's none of our business, let them live!" Lin Zhichao said calmly.

Hearing this, the coachman thought that he was right. He also had a club, so why did he run away? It was not to cause trouble for himself or his employer.

After the rickshaw slowed down, the group of people also approached Lin Zhichao and others.

When the man and woman holding the child saw this, they probably misunderstood the situation and immediately stopped next to the rickshaw. They probably couldn't run anymore.

"Run, Xue Junshan, you jumped on the street, refused to pay back the money you owed, and hid from us. We finally blocked you today." The leader said angrily with a knife and a tough look on his face.

There were four or five accomplices following him, and he looked like he was not easy to mess with.

Seeing this, the driver wanted to get out of the place of right and wrong and was ready to start.

"Look at the situation!" Lin Zhichao shouted to stop in time.

This man named Xue Junshan was holding his child, and he had a pretty wife beside him. From what I heard from the tough man, it was because he owed money and refused to pay it back, so it must not be a vendetta, so why worry about getting angry.

Xue Junshan put down the five or six-year-old boy, and his wife immediately protected him, while he was at the front.

"You let my wife and children go, and I'll leave for you!"

When the tough man heard this, he immediately said: "Put it off, today we have to arrest your wife and go to the stable to pay off the debt. Come on, brothers!"

A wonderful fight!

Unexpectedly, this Xue Junshan was a skilled practitioner. He could fend off five or six people with ease, and even put on a wonderful show of seizing a sword with his bare hands.

Upon seeing this, his wife hurriedly hid towards Lin Zhichao's rickshaw for fear of affecting her children.

Lin Zhichao knew that he could not ignore this matter, because it was a woman and a child; and, hearing the tough man say that people should be forced to make a living, this made Lin Zhichao, a modern man, think it was a bit too much.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Lin Zhichao asked loudly: "How much do you owe?"

At the same time, he thought in his mind, if it's a few thousand, he'll take care of it, if it's tens of thousands, he'll run away.

The fighting there quickly stopped.

"Boss, do you want to take care of this?" the tough man said.

Lin Zhichao got off the rickshaw and glanced at the shocked young woman and boy, thinking that you are smart and know that I am willing to do good.

"Let's talk about the price first, and then talk about the specific things." Lin Zhichao said angrily.

He was also annoyed that he suddenly encountered such a thing and lost money in vain.

"2,500 yuan. This Xue Junshan didn't repay the money he borrowed from our society, and even took his wife to hide in XZ. If he doesn't pay back the money today, he will use his wife to pay off the debt. It is only natural to pay back the money he owes." After that, the tough man As if if you don't care, we will start fighting again.

In fact, the tough man did not take advantage just now, and none of the six people subdued Xue Junshan.

Of course, now they have awakened, as long as they go to arrest Xue Junshan's wife and children, there is no need to beat them at all.

"You are a dead man, are they right?"

Lin Zhichao looked at Xue Junshan, and after waiting for a long time, the man remained silent, like a cow.

"Boss, I do owe them money, but I only borrowed 1,200 yuan. The interest rate has risen too fast, and I can't keep up with my money. The money is for my son's medical treatment, so I have to borrow it." Xue Junshan finally surrendered. Instead, he bowed to Lin Zhichao.

Because he understands that with his wife and children, he can't do well today.

"Written in black and white, don't talk about that with us!" The sturdy man was about to lose his patience, after all, his brothers were all dying.

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "Give me the IOU, and I'll give you the money. I just happened to encounter this matter today, so let's take care of it!"

The sturdy man changed his face instantly, his expression softened, and he took out the IOU.

Lin Zhichao immediately took out his wallet, which contained only 3,000 yuan in cash, which was almost all his working capital.

Seeing this, Xue Junshan finally became smart and snatched the tough man's IOU, and then came to Lin Zhichao.

"I'll give you 2,600 yuan. The extra 100 yuan will be considered as today's damage fee. You are holding a knife and he is empty-handed, so 100 yuan should be enough!"

The tough man's face suddenly turned red and he was extremely embarrassed. In fact, their purpose was not to kill Xue Junshan, but to subdue Xue Junshan. After all, they would be in trouble if someone died.

"Boss Renyi! Let's forget about it!" He didn't forget to say to Xue Junshan: "Xue Junshan, you met a noble person today. If you don't repay others well, I will look down on you!"

After that, he took his younger brother and left.

In fact, getting money is enough for them to be happy.

Things are over here.

Lin Zhichao immediately asked Xue Junshan: "Have you practiced martial arts or been a soldier?"

"Training martial arts since childhood"

Next, Lin Zhichao asked one by one. After ensuring that Xue Junshan was just "Ip Man living in Hong Kong," he arranged for him to be his bodyguard and slowly repay the debt.

As for his wife and children, he also planned to let Li Gaofu arrange a place to live, which would be regarded as surveillance.
