The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

Chapter 11 [I comment on the reasoning]

"Mr. Zhang, can you make it cheaper? The land price of 22 is a bit expensive!" Lin Zhichao's face was a little ugly. He did not expect that the 46-square-foot land at No. 48-4800 of Shanlin Road was as high as 22 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 Jinshan uncle in his 60s (a person from overseas Chinese in Guangdong Province who came back for retirement). It may be because he is old and he is not happy to rebuild by himself, so he wants to sell his dilapidated property.

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

"Xiao Lin, you bought my three old buildings for 22 yuan. You only need to spend another 10 yuan in construction costs, plus some taxes and fees. At most, you will spend an investment of 35 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 also very cost-effective. It's no problem to sell it for 45 Hong Kong dollars. You can earn 10 Hong Kong dollars in a little over a year. You are not satisfied!"

According to the normal situation, it is absolutely impossible to earn 10 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 bitter tricks: "But the current property is easy to rent and not easy to sell. A building costs more than [-] yuan, and few people can afford it. Why don't you spend less time and take care of the younger generation, Give me some relief."

"It's at least 21.8 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.

Fortunately, 2000 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 fee!"

"It's natural!"

"Actually, I paid for it, and I gave you 2000 yuan less."

"Then thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

"Haha, you are quite good at bargaining, no wonder I gave you 2000 less without knowing it."

After a lot of coaxing and deception, Lin Zhichao finally saved 2000, and he felt very comfortable.

Recently, he sold the 5 gold bars in his hand to another gold shop and silver bank, and got 9.2 cash; he injected 25.88 Hong Kong dollars into Changjiang Real Estate, and after paying the rent, only about 25 Hong Kong dollars remained.

Now it seems that the funds of Changjiang Properties will soon be reduced to more than 3 Hong Kong dollars. Under normal circumstances, this amount of funds is probably not enough for the first payment of the construction cost, which is really a bit 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 2000 yuan from Mr. Zhang. It's amazing!" Hu Zhaoxu said after the two left.

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 22 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.

Getting into the rickshaw, Lin Zhichao had a sudden impulse and said, "Driver, take 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 be a real estate developer, you must be familiar with every street, even every building, and every shop in Hong Kong. Only this is a qualified real estate agent.

"Okay, sit down!"

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 is the old wharf and warehouse of Wharf, not the commercial center of later generations - Harbor City, which occupies a large share of Xiangjiang's warehouse. As long as you are in shipping, you have to donate a lot of money to it. Wharf, a subsidiary of the Jardine Group; later, because Wharf charged too much, even the Hong Kong government could not see it, and Jardine made Chinese businessmen angry.

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 belongs to the Swire Group. Later generations were taken by Sha Dantong of New World and built New World Center.

East Tsim Sha Tsui has not yet been 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 for shipping services, filled with hemp ropes, machinery and various ship supplies, in addition to bars and restaurants exclusively for 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.

The rickshaw passed by a place, and Lin Zhichao saw the dark scene of this society. He saw four or five people surrounding a man, and there was a fierce conflict. One of them took out a dagger and swung at the man. A man snatched the knife at close range and broke the wrist of the knife holder.

In this scene, Lin Zhichao seemed to see himself, no, every man has a martial arts dream.

"stop!"

The rickshaw driver wanted to run faster, but he had to stop when he heard Lin Zhichao's words.

When Lin Zhichao and Hu Zhaoxu got out of the rickshaw, the man over there had already knocked down two of them and was entangled with the other two, yet he still had the upper hand.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Lin Zhichao shouted at several people.

Sure enough, several people stopped, seeing that he was a rich man, they immediately looked at Lin Zhichao.

"Let me make a judgment. Tell me why there is a conflict or enmity. I am willing to be a peacemaker!" Lin Zhichao said majestically with a condescending expression.

If there is no gun, he has nothing to be afraid of, and it seems that he can fight quite well.

"Boss, come and judge. It's unreasonable for Xue Junshan to beat someone without paying us back the money he owes us." The leader holding the knife said angrily, at this time he could no longer hold the knife steadily.

Lin Zhichao looked at this man named Xue Junshan, and saw that he was not tall, but he was very strong, with a pair of eyes shining like eagle eyes, he was a practicing family.However, he remained silent, not knowing if it was because of his wrongdoing.

"Xue Junshan, you don't talk anymore, and you know that you are wrong. I know you have practiced martial arts, but you have to know that you still have a wife and children."

"you dare!"

Xue Junshan said angrily, pointing at others with a murderous expression.

Lin Zhichao said something fair at this time: "It's only natural to pay debts, and they don't look like kind people. No matter how good you are, can you always guard your wife and children? Can you resist a gun?"

Xue Junshan was in great pain immediately, and said: "I have already worked two jobs by myself, and I have been working hard to pay back, but their interest is too high, and the more I roll over."

"You signed the interest at the beginning, and there are black and white testimonials!"

At this point, Lin Zhichao already understood the reason of the matter.

He said to Xue Junshan: "I have a job here. It may protect your wife and children's life without worry, and you can live a good life in Hong Kong. I just want you to work hard. Do you want to do it!"

Xue Junshan said without hesitation: "I will do it!"

Lin Zhichao nodded, and said to the other group: "How much is owed, I will show you the contract!"

The leader immediately cheered up, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and said, "A total of 2250 Hong Kong dollars including principal and interest!"

Lin Zhichao took it over and took a look, good guy, you can borrow it with such a high interest rate.

"Why spend so much money?"

"The child is seriously ill"

Lin Zhichao nodded, then took out his wallet and counted it. It was almost enough, and there was still a lot left.

"After the money is paid off, I will give you another 100 yuan for medical expenses. I will tear up the IOU."

Seeing that Qian's eyes were open, the gangster immediately said flatteringly, "Yes, boss, you have the final say. Congratulations, boss, for accepting a helper. This Xue Junshan is a practicing family, and"

"Okay, you don't need to brag, I just need a bullet stopper, you think it's a good job, why don't you do it well!"

The gangster said shyly, "Boss, you are joking!" He may not be afraid of fighting, but he must be afraid of bullets.

After the matter was over and the group dispersed, Lin Zhichao took out another 300 to Xue Junshan and said, "Take this money to settle down first, and it will be deducted from your salary. I will write you an address and come back to work later in a change of clothes."

Xue Junshan declined the 300 yuan and said, "Boss, I don't need the money. I will come to work tomorrow."

"Take it, anyway, it's deducted from your salary, you have to buy a decent set of clothes."

"thank you boss"

Then, Lin Zhichao took out a pen and paper, wrote the address of the Huarenhang Building to Xue Junshan, and then got into the rickshaw.

"Congratulations to the boss for accepting a loyal bodyguard!" Hu Zhaoxu congratulated in real time.

When he got out of the car just now, he was quite frightened.

"Who knows! But as a driver, he will always be more loyal than others, I think so." Lin Zhichao said.

Finally, it is kind, and it is more reassuring than those ordinary recruits.

"of course."
