Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 601

In the 60s, Xiangjiang’s economy developed rapidly, the population continued to increase, and the demand for public transportation increased.

In 1964, the Hong Kong government invited the road research department of England to study the construction of a mass transit system.

Then, the Hong Kong government set up a public transport investigation team.

After investigation, they found that if the subway was not built, by the end of the 70s, the road system in Xiangjiang would be overwhelmed.

So at the beginning of 1972, after much consideration, the Hong Kong government agreed in principle to build an underground railway, and then established a transport preparatory committee.

The opening of the subway, in addition to bringing convenient transportation to the citizens of Xiangjiang, everyone also found that the real estate and commercial transactions along the subway have increased significantly.

Therefore, almost most of the businessmen are watching every move of the Hong Kong government. They all want to know the location of the next subway construction early, so that they can go to the card slot earlier.

Bao Shaogang and his family had already made a fortune in real estate because of the construction of the subway.

So Bao Shaogang himself is very clear, if this time, the Hong Kong government's subway plan, once it really passes through the rotten water store, then it can be said that the rotten water store will become a golden water store.

For this reason, Bao Shaogang not only sent people to the transportation department to inquire about the situation these few days, but he was also trying to find a way to invite Yan Dunli, the director of the transportation department, to come out for a simple meal.

Because he wanted to get some general information from the other party's mouth.

But it's a pity that Yan Dunli saw Bao Shaogang's thoughts, so he didn't give him this chance at all.

Yan Dunli's reaction made Bao Shaogang even more suspicious whether the Hong Kong government really planned to build a railway passing through Lanshuipu.

"Bao Shao, all the signs are on the surface now. The Hong Kong government is definitely going to build a railway, and it will definitely pass through the bad water shop. Otherwise, why would Marshall suddenly rush to invest, and Yan Dunli will not refuse your invitation."

Fan Jiaming was in a hurry. He felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The thing to do now was very simple, and that was to quickly buy the land around the bad water shop.

If the news of the subway construction spreads at that time, the land price around Lanshuipu will probably increase several times at once.

And because of the pedestrian street, it may even be close to the most elite area in the city.

After Fan Jiaming finished speaking, Bao Shaogang didn't react, he just sat there, silent, not knowing what he was thinking right now.

"Bao Shao, if you don't make a decision, it will be too late. Now the land price of Lanshuipu is only 1750. If anyone hears the news and rushes to buy it, then we won't even have soup."

Fan Jiaming looked very anxious. After all, to him, this was equivalent to sending a big piece of fat to his mouth. As long as he opened his mouth, he could swallow the fat in front of him in one gulp.

"Not in a hurry, I need to think about it."

After Bao Shao thought about it for a while, he still shook his head, because he felt that the chance was half and half now.

If they guessed wrong, they would have to wait a long time to sell those lands again.

Fan Jiaming was so anxious that his brows were on fire, he didn't expect that Bao Shaogang could still hold his temper.

Originally, he wanted to persuade Bao Shaogang, but the other party just turned his head and glanced at him, Fan Jiaming had no choice but to swallow the words in his stomach.

…………

"On behalf of the citizens of Xiangjiang, I would like to thank Mr. Marshall for his kindness."

At a party, Li Chunrong, director of the Welfare Department, accidentally met a handsome Mr. Marshall.

After the two talked for a while, Marshall 'accidentally discovered' that Li Chunrong was the Director of the Welfare Department, and he immediately said boldly that he would donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

Someone donated money, of course Li Chunrong was very happy, so the next day, the two of them held a small donation ceremony in the Welfare Department under the witness of a group of people.

"Director Li, you're being polite. This is just a little care on my part. If I can help those in need, then I will be very happy."

Marshall shook his head, looking very gentlemanly.

After the reporter took the photo, the news was published in the newspaper the next day.

Things like donating money will basically not attract the attention of ordinary people, so basically no one will pay attention to this news.

And because of the money donated and Marshall's eloquence, he soon became good friends with Li Chunrong.

And because of his acquaintance with Li Chunrong, it didn't take long for him to be invited to a banquet in the upper class of Xiangjiang.

All of a sudden, Marshall flourished in the upper class of Xiangjiang.

But most people only know that this Marshall is a businessman from France, who seems to be in the department store business.

But more specific things, they don't know.

Whenever they wanted to ask, Marshall was always subtly shifting the subject elsewhere.

And Marshall did all these things for one thing, that is to get close to Yan Dunli, the director of the Transportation Department.

After half a month of hard work, Marshall finally got his wish. At a banquet, he met Yan Dunli, and because of a bottle of red wine, the two naturally became good friends.

Ordinary businessmen approached him only for the sake of the railway, so Yan Dunli would be very cautious when making friends.

Originally, at the beginning, he thought that Marshall, like those people, wanted to ask about the Hong Kong government's development of the subway from his own mouth.

But the strange thing is that after a period of contact, Yan Dunli found that Marshall was not interested in the subway at all.

Marshall just likes to taste red wine with him, chat about life, and talk about his favorite topics.

This made Yan Dunli very happy. After all, it was not an easy task for him to gain a friend.

…………

"Bao Shao, Marshall is with Yan Dunli almost every day. Based on the friendship between the two of them, he must have known about the subway for a long time."

Fan Jiaming has never let go of his attention to Marshall. During this period of time, he is well aware of Marshall and Yan Dunli's frequent togetherness.

Although he didn't know what they were talking about, Fan Jiaming felt that Marshall must have known a lot of secrets from the warm appearance of the two of them.

And what annoyed Fan Jiaming even more was that in the past half month, the land price of Lanshuipu had increased again, from an average price of 1750 to 2000.

Although the increase is not large, if you start half a month ago, you will already be making money now.

At this time, Fan Jiaming had already made up his mind, if Bao Shaogang didn't act, then he wasn't going to wait for the other party's wishes, and planned to do it himself first.
