Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 551 Do you think I look like someone who likes to brag?

After bidding farewell to Xu Qingdong, Cao Zhiqiang went back to his room and took a nap. After waking up in the afternoon, he simply coded and wrote novels in the room.

This time, Cao Zhiqiang wrote a Japanese novel, which was the Japanese bestseller in his previous life - "Norwegian Forest".

In this world, this book hasn't appeared yet, and he's going to Japan soon, so he can write this book in advance, even if he can't be named a literary giant, it would be good to earn more foreign exchange.

Originally, Cao Zhiqiang was really just plagiarism, but he could write and write, write and write, and the more he wrote, the more he felt.

This feeling of writing Japanese novels with a pen is really refreshing, and it gives him the pleasure of copying novels back to his childhood.

In this way, I kept writing until about [-]:[-] in the afternoon, when a phone call interrupted Cao Zhiqiang's fun of being a copywriter.

When Cao Zhiqiang frowned and answered the phone, he found that it was someone he hadn't expected—Lou Xiaoe.

"Nani? Lou, Aunt Lou, you mean, you came to my place in person? It's at the front desk on the first floor?"

"Yes, I happen to be free, so I'll come to see you and discuss a business with you. Why, aren't you welcome?"

"Welcome, welcome, why not welcome." Cao Zhiqiang who was holding the phone chuckled, "I just didn't expect you to come in person. So, you are in the lobby on the first floor, right? Wait for a while, and I will pick you up right away."

After hanging up the phone, Cao Zhiqiang thought about it, hurriedly washed his face, and changed into a custom-made handmade suit before he walked out of the room and went to the lobby on the first floor.

Handmade suits in this period were actually not expensive, because there were many tailors, and the craftsmanship was also good. The key was to see whether the material was good or not.

However, most of the suits in this period were European suits and Japanese suits.

The European version of the suit, that is, the kind with extra wide shoulders, shoulder pads, and a waist, which looks like a T-shaped version.

There is also a Japanese version of the suit, which refers to the kind that has no particularly wide shoulders, no shoulder pads, and no waist. The top and bottom are consistent, like an H-shaped one.

Whether it is the European version or the Japanese version, it doesn't quite fit Cao Zhiqiang's aesthetics, so he deliberately took out the later Korean version of the suit style, that is, there are no particularly wide shoulders, no shoulder pads, and the waistline is slightly raised. waist.

In addition, the outer collar of this suit is also narrower than that of ordinary suits.

After such a change, the overall appearance is slimmer, fitter, and thinner, which is in line with Cao Zhiqiang's thin body type and looks more energetic.

Because Cao Zhiqiang’s requirements are high, and the material is also good, it took a little more time, and it is only now ready and sent, and Cao Zhiqiang did not have time to wear it to Japan.

However, since this type of suit was made with the design idea provided by Cao Zhiqiang, he decided that this suit will not be called the Korean version of the suit in the future, but will be called the Cao version of the suit.

He also plans to take this waist-raised and slim-fitting suit version directly to Japan, Hong Kong, the United States and Europe, and apply for an appearance patent. If there is a chance in the future, he will even set up a garment factory specializing in the production of this version of suits. , Mass production of this type of suit.

If South Korea dares to use this version to call the Korean version in the future, it will be infringement and stealing.

Although Cao Zhiqiang knows that this kind of appearance is difficult to define, it is good to be able to occupy a high ground of public opinion first.

No way, he really knows the urine in Korea too well.

The reason why South Korea is not so outrageous now is entirely because South Korea's strength is not enough, plus it is the military government, that is, the reason of the Fifth Republic, so it needs to show some face.

If it was changed to the so-called Sixth Republic, the so-called democratic South Korea, it would not be so embarrassing.

In short, people need clothes, and Cao Zhiqiang wore a modern slim-fit suit, matching his thin body shape, the whole person looks really high-end.

As a result, when Cao Zhiqiang came to the living room in the lobby on the first floor and saw Lou Xiaoe who was waiting on the sofa, Lou Xiaoe was stunned.

"You look pretty good in this outfit." Lou Xiaoe admired, "Where did you buy it, and what brand?"

"I found someone to order it." Cao Zhiqiang chuckled, "There is no brand."

"Handmade suits, not bad." Lou Xiao'e praised again, "The master's craftsmanship is good."

Cao Zhiqiang laughed, and directly invited Lou Xiaoe to the western restaurant for a chat.

Lou Xiaoe was not pretentious, she stood up quickly, went to the western restaurant with Cao Zhiqiang, found a quiet place, and both ordered coffee.

After the waiter served the snacks and coffee, Lou Xiaoe went straight to the point: "Cao Zhiqiang, I like to have fun, so I won't talk nonsense. I'm very interested in your food. I want to buy all your shares. Make an offer."

"Buy them all?" Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "You mean, you want to buy my food for the sky?"

"Yes, that's what it means." Lou Xiaoe nodded.

Immediately afterwards, Lou Xiaoe said again: "Don't say you can't sell it, I know, you talk to me first and give me some advice, just want to sell this restaurant to cash out, you deliberately brought Shazhu in, and also The purpose of giving him [-]% of the shares is also for me, just to make me reluctant to part with this restaurant so that I can sell it for a good price.

In addition, this restaurant is very popular now, but this is a situation where you use various means to increase the popularity and everyone thinks it is new.

If this novelty passes, in two or three months, even if the restaurant's business is still good, there will be no such situation of customers coming like a cloud.

Therefore, Shiweitian's current business is booming, but it is already the highest value, and it cannot last long.

It is the most cost-effective investment for you to find someone to cash out at this time.

Otherwise, after a period of time, the business will drop, and if you want to find an investor like me, it will be hard to find.

Since everyone is smart, don't talk nonsense.

Just ask a reasonable price, I want to buy it if it looks right, hello, hello, hello everyone, what do you think? "

Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback when Lou Xiaoe came up to the point, but he quickly reacted, blinking and said: "Oh, Aunt Lou, you are still a straightforward person, if that is the case, then I will not be hypocritical.

Well, how about it, food is the sky, in addition to the 90% stake for Uncle He, I still have [-]% of the shares, just as I said before, if you really want to buy it all, yes, buy it now, [-] US dollars , you take it. "

Lou Xiaoe smiled: "As I said, Food for Heaven is good now, but it's definitely not worth $90.

How about this, look at you, you want US dollars, then I will give you 15 US dollars, and give me all the shares, okay? "

Cao Zhiqiang laughed: "No, Aunt Lou, your bargaining price is too harsh. It's a six-fold difference! It's only 15 US dollars, and you want my food to be the sky? Is it too much?"

"What's so unreasonable?" Lou Xiaoe said, "You are so dependent on food that you can't even afford 30 RMB to buy a house with decoration.

I’m not going to lie to you, the exchange rate of US dollar to RMB is now [-]:[-] in the world, but in fact, if you convert it privately in China, because of the urgent shortage of US dollars in the country, it can be [-]:[-], that is, [-] US dollar to [-] yuan RMB.

15 US dollars, if you exchange it into RMB in China, you can definitely exchange it to 45 RMB without going to the bank.

Even if you go to a regular bank to exchange, on a one-to-two basis, you won’t suffer a loss of 30 RMB, and you will definitely make a profit.

Of course, if you are willing to keep those chefs and waiters, you can discuss it again.

But after you sell the shares to me, you must take people away, right?
So what you sold to me was just an empty shell restaurant, at most the signboard was a bit famous, so it was worth some money. "

"No, too little, too little." Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, "The price is too little, we can't sell it!"

Hearing this, Lou Xiao'e smiled slightly: "Cao Zhiqiang, Ming people don't talk dark words, the reason why you insisted on asking for US dollars, you approached me on purpose before, is it because you want to develop in Hong Kong?

In this way, if you sell the restaurant to me for 15 US dollars, I will not only give you 15 US dollars, but also help you live in Hong Kong.

You may not know that Hong Kong is not what it used to be. The barrier policy has been abolished. It is not that people can settle in Hong Kong, but it has become a policy of arrest and release. Anyone who enters Hong Kong illegally will be sent back.

However, if there is a Hong Kong regular businessman who guarantees you to work in a Hong Kong company in the name of formal recruitment, then you can easily get a non-permanent resident ID card and live and work in Hong Kong for a short period of time.

As long as you arrive in Hong Kong, settle down temporarily, and live there for seven years without any problems, and with our family guarantee, it will not be a problem for you to apply for permanent residence in Hong Kong.

During this period, you can work normally to earn money, and you can also travel to and from the Mainland without any impact. "

Speaking of this, Lou Xiao'e paused for a while, and then smiled slightly: "Cao Zhiqiang, you are a smart person, you should know the conditions for me to help you go to Hong Kong, which is much more valuable than this 15 US dollars.

Without my help, even if you go to Hong Kong, you will still be a refugee, and you will not be able to get an ID card at all. Once you are caught by the police, with the current policy, you will be deported immediately.

Generally speaking, I don't do this for people, but you are really nice, and you really helped me, so I'm happy to help you and take you to Hong Kong.

Now, do you still think $15 is too little? "

Cao Zhiqiang immediately frowned upon hearing what Lou Xiaoe said.

Indeed, it is now 1983, and Hong Kong has tightened its immigration policy. The good days when you can get an ID card when you arrive in Hong Kong are gone forever.

At this time, anyone who goes to Hong Kong privately from the mainland is an illegal immigrant without an ID card, and once caught by the police, they will be deported immediately.

Of course, under normal circumstances, as long as you are not particularly suspicious, the Hong Kong police will not check your ID card casually. They generally will not check your ID card casually.

Therefore, there are still many mainlanders who enter Hong Kong privately and work as illegal immigrants to earn money. After earning enough money, and providing enough time to live in Hong Kong, and having a local guarantor in Hong Kong, they can still apply for an ID card.

Many mainlanders who went to Hong Kong to work hard in the 80s basically went there through illegal immigration and waited to live for a period of time before obtaining their identity.

But this kind of situation is not in line with Cao Zhiqiang. After all, if he goes to Hong Kong, he will not be unknown for a long time.

However, what Lou Xiaoe said is right, if there are serious businessmen in Hong Kong who hire mainlanders to work in Hong Kong in the name of recruiting workers, as long as they follow the normal procedures and pay taxes on time, then there is no problem and they can get a non-permanent ID card.

It's just that this model is quite troublesome, and you have to declare it every year.

Of course, if you don't do this, Cao Zhiqiang has other ways to go to Hong Kong, and that is to make money first.

When he has saved enough 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, he can immigrate to Hong Kong directly by means of investment immigration, directly give a non-permanent resident ID card, and live for seven years. As long as he applies, he can easily obtain permanent residency.

Now is not later. At this time, Hong Kong’s investment immigration policy is still quite loose, and it belongs to the period of widely absorbing funds. So as long as you have money now, as long as you are willing to invest the money in Hong Kong, if you want to obtain the right of abode in Hong Kong, don’t take it too easy. .

And 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, according to the current exchange rate of 1:1.25, isn't it 800 million RMB.

This amount of money seems to be a lot, but in fact, to Cao Zhiqiang, it is nothing at all.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that Cao Zhiqiang’s trip to Japan this time will allow him to get the [-] million U.S. dollars “down payment for shopping” given to him in advance. It is not easy to use this money to invest in immigration.

Even though the "down payment" of 800 million US dollars is too hot to spend freely, it is not difficult for Cao Zhiqiang to save enough funds of [-] million RMB in a fair manner.

Cao Zhiqiang still has 200 million RMB in cash on hand, which means that he only needs to earn another 600 million RMB.

As long as he releases one or two hit songs in Japan, plus best-selling books, it will not be difficult to earn 600 million RMB.

At that time, he will use the method of investment immigration to buy a house in Xiangjiang, and based on the current situation of Hong Kong's real estate market, he will make a steady profit without losing money.

On the contrary, although the method provided by Lou Xiaoe is also possible, the procedures are very cumbersome and it is not so easy to pass.

Instead of this, it is better to continue playing investment immigration, at most let Lou Xiao'e help find a reliable lawyer to solve various problems.

In this way, even if the relationship between him and Lou Xiao'e is purely business, there is no such thing as asking anyone else.

Otherwise, once Cao Zhiqiang accepts Lou Xiaoe's "sincerity", he will owe her a big favor. This kind of favor is very expensive, and he will have to pay it back sooner or later.

"Aunt Lou, thank you for your honesty." Cao Zhiqiang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Well, I like to be self-reliant and have enough food and clothing.

Well, I know that Hong Kong currently has an investment immigration policy. As long as you can invest 1000 million Hong Kong dollars in it, you can directly give your ID card and live in Hong Kong immediately, right? "

Lou Xiaoe frowned: "Yes, there is such a policy, why, you plan to invest in immigration?"

"Yes, I have this plan." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I don't have that much money yet, but it's coming soon, I can save enough money in less than three months.

So, if Auntie Lou really wants to help me, then help me find a reliable lawyer and help me complete the investment immigration as soon as possible. "

"Are you serious?" Lou Xiao'e stared at Cao Zhiqiang and asked.

"Of course I'm serious." Cao Zhiqiang shrugged, "Do you think I'm someone who likes to brag?"

Lou Xiaoe looked at Cao Zhiqiang carefully, then shook her head with a smile: "It's really not like bragging, but a little arrogant."

"Arrogance is because of confidence." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I am sure enough to make enough money within three months, so the benefit of helping me go to Hong Kong will be waived, so if you Really want to buy my restaurant, let's pay more, I prefer the real thing."

"Okay." Lou Xiaoe sighed, "20 US dollars, this is my highest bid, any more is fine, I can start a new one."

Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his chin and felt that this amount was not bad. After all, it was US dollars. Whether it was in Hong Kong or Japan at this time, it was hard currency, so there was no need to apply for exchange with China.

"Deal, that's all." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

Lou Xiaoe breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "Well, since that's the case, I will give you the 20 US dollars as soon as possible, but it's best to deliver in Hong Kong, otherwise, it will be a little inconvenient to enter the mainland."

"I understand." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "It's just that I plan to use the money to spend in Japan, so I'll use Hong Kong to transfer to Japan, and stop in Hong Kong for a while. When the time comes, you can give me the money." alright."

"No problem." Lou Xiaoe said, "However, in order to prevent accidents, I hope that after we sign the contract and complete the transaction, you don't take people away immediately, let them stay for a while, and wait for me to find them later." There is a replacement, and we will hand over slowly, what do you think?"

"Of course." Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile, "I'm not someone who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. In the future, we will cooperate for a long time. This is the best."

"In that case, then I have no problem." Lou Xiaoe smiled slightly, "Do you still have any questions?"

"Me too." Cao Zhiqiang shrugged.

"Then, let's have a happy cooperation?" Lou Xiao'e smiled and stretched out her hand.

"Happy cooperation!" Cao Zhiqiang reached out and shook Lou Xiao'e's hand.
