I am many years in the courtyard

The time has come to January [-], and the location is unknown, because for many years, I have been on the train for two days and two nights.

It has been late since the day of departure, but it is conceivable how it will not be late in the middle of the journey?
The last time I went to Guitou Mountain to perform a mission, I took the train, and it was the same, often late.

Even if it is late, the speed of the train is still very slow.

But this is also a characteristic of the 60s and [-]s, and in this era, people who can go out are, after all, a minority.

After all, just buying train tickets is not something ordinary people can do.

There was a bang bang bang bang sound in my ears, and the green mountains were outside the car window.

The southern country in winter is full of greenery.

Yu Guangyuan was a little tired, but he still read with a book during the day.

It has been the same for many years. Occasionally, I will read medical books, and occasionally I will read foreign language books that no one can understand.

This is definitely not drinking, but learning.

I have been learning Burmese for more than a month, and I went to Sunshine City again, which is completely over.

But it doesn't mean that there is no possibility of using it in the future, so when you have time, you can take advantage of the victory and pursue it.

Late at night on the fifth day, the train finally arrived at the transfer destination Baiyun City.

When we arrived at this place, the climate suddenly became warmer. The temperature during the day was [-] or [-] degrees. It was unbelievable.

On both sides of the road, unknown wild flowers are blooming at will, which is really worthy of the Flower City.

It's a pity that I can't move freely for many years, otherwise I would pick some beautiful wild flowers for it to show to the children.

After resting at the hotel in Baiyun City for one night, many years and Yu Guangyuan set off again in the early morning of the next day.

This time it's not an airplane train, but a ship.

Just take the ferry on the riverside and set off along the river all the way to the mouth of the sea.

At about noon, we finally arrived at our destination.

In fact, when I took the boat, I had already thought of the place I wanted to reach this time for many years, and it must be the southern city of Hong Kong Island.

When many years arrived near the Victoria Harbor pier, Tang Buqi received a call from Zhao Junyao on the capital side.

Knowing that he did not come back for many years, but was taken to Hong Kong Island by Yu Guangyuan, he was so angry that he cursed.

"Okay, old Yu, I knew that you kid would make dirty tricks, but I didn't expect you to take my people away by force, just wait for me!"

In the office, Tang Buqi scolded very loudly, but it was useless.

Now, he can't contact Yu Guangyuan at all, and he can't do anything he wants.

"Old Yu, you are finally here. Leader Sun has been waiting for you for several days."

On the pier side, Hong Chaosheng and Yang Limin, representatives of China Resources Company who came to meet him, greeted Yu Guangyuan with a smile.

Obviously, the three of them are very familiar old comrades-in-arms, and the relationship is obviously extraordinary.

It happened to be a military salute for many years, but was stopped by Yu Guangyuan's eyes.

This is Hong Kong Island, not the capital city. There are many aspects that need attention.

"This is the many years you mentioned on the phone, isn't it? Not bad, not bad, he really looks talented."

"Okay, stop chatting, let's go back first."

Everyone exchanged a few words at the pier, then got in the car and left.

Queen's Road West, a very ordinary tenement building, this is one of the offices of China Resources Corporation in Hong Kong Island.

After coming here, he was taken to a room on the first floor of the backyard to rest for many years, while Yu Guangyuan was taken to a meeting by Hong Chaosheng and Yang Limin.

At this time, Sun Guohua had already communicated with the capital about the purchase of grain.

Since the end of last year, with the increasingly tight food shortage in the capital, the inventory has been running out.

At the same time, the allocation of grain from provinces and other places has been unable to solve the problem of food shortage.

Based on this situation, importing food has become a solution to the problem.

In fact, following them to the City of Sunshine for many years is one of the solutions to the problem of food imports.

Or from that time on, the leaders have already considered this issue.

He didn't know these things for many years, after all, his tasks were not these.

For the next two days, he stayed on Hong Kong Island for many years, and was not allowed to go out until the third day. Yu Guangyuan also exchanged 100 Hong Kong dollars for him.

To be honest, it was the first time that he had traveled so far and could move freely.

"Xiao Xu, this is not the capital after all, there are many temptations, if you go alone, you must pay attention to safety, don't cause trouble, remember to call if you have anything to do."

Due to the need for meetings every day, Yu Guangyuan has completely forgotten about it for many years.

The latter stayed in Tanglou for two days, and Yu Guangyuan remembered it now.

Can't let it be suffocated for many years, right?

It's not the time to carry out the mission yet, so it's normal to let them go out for a stroll for many years.

After all, you have not been a child for many years, so what is it to stay in the tenement building all the time?
Yang Limin and the others wanted to send someone to take many years out, but they didn't need it.

Because for many years I can speak the dialects of English and Cantonese, not to mention Mandarin, so I don't need it at all.

As for whether he will get lost?
Is this the problem?

Hong Kong Island in the 60s was a multilingual city, and Cantonese hadn't emerged at this time.

It can only be said that there are many Cantonese-speaking people on Hong Kong Island, but there are also many Mandarin-speaking people.

At this time, there were about 30 to [-] white people on Hong Kong Island, all of whom spoke English.

There are also those black people from the Elephant Country and some Nanyang people who basically speak English.

However, more than 400% of the 90.00 million people are our people, and 80.00% of these groups are people from Baiyun City and other regions.

So Cantonese is the most common language.

Since he has been able to speak so many languages ​​for many years and is a soldier king, there is no need for others to take him shopping.

After coming out of the tenement building, many years soon merged into the flow of people.

In the 60s, Hong Kong Island has already begun to show its glory.

The economy has begun to take off, and many wealthy Chinese have also begun to take off.

Many buildings on both sides are already more than ten storeys high, and many industrial buildings began to rise at this time.

Even the concept of uncompleted property has risen in the real estate industry.

Because in [-], Lixin Real Estate Co., Ltd., Huo’s real estate company, changed its previous history of building houses first and then selling them. When building new real estate in Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong, it actively called on the public to pay a deposit first and sell the house by installment.

Starting from Queen's Road West, I have been driving along this street for many years, and I was quickly attracted by the excitement ahead.

It was a bank, and there were many people queuing.

After looking at it for many years, I didn't go to join in the fun, but went to another nearby bank.

"Hello, what is the price of gold now?"

After walking into the lobby of the bank, for many years, he uttered a fluent and authentic London accent, which completely confused the staff.

Obviously he was wearing a very ordinary black Zhongshan suit, which was not trendy at all, and he could even be seen, as if he had just arrived from the north.

As a result, this London accent really made the staff unable to fix it.

After a pause for several seconds, the staff finally came to their senses.

"Hi sir, the current price of gold is US$42 per ounce, which is 260 three yuan in Hong Kong dollars."

In the 50s, the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar was not fixed, but was constantly changing according to market supply and demand.

According to relevant statistics, in the early 50s, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S. dollar was about 1 Hong Kong dollar to 0.13 U.S. dollars.

But by the end of the 50s, the exchange rate had risen to about 1 US dollars to 0.15 Hong Kong dollar.

It is currently 0.16. During this period, the U.S. dollar has also fallen, and the Hong Kong dollar has risen a little bit. One Hong Kong dollar can be exchanged for about [-] U.S. dollars.

In October last year, the price of gold in the London market soared to US$41.5 per ounce, 18.57% higher than the official price.

By January of this year, the price had soared to $42, a price that had been heard for many years.

At the same time, on the side of the bald eagle, the bald eagle at this time has begun to unite with eight countries including London, Paris, and Frankfurt to establish a gold general warehouse this year.

It is estimated that 2.7 million U.S. dollars of gold will be used to maintain the price of gold and take measures to prevent foreign governments from holding U.S. dollars to exchange gold with bald eagles.

As we all know, after World War II, the world established the Bretton Woods system.

This system implements a double-pegged system, with the U.S. dollar pegged to gold and the currencies of other IMF member states pegged to the U.S. dollar, establishing the dominance of the U.S. dollar in the capitalist world.

But in 1960, the balance of payments of the US dollar continued to deteriorate, and the market responded immediately: the price of gold rose!

Of course, the increase is very limited, after all, the Bretton Woods system is indeed very capable.

It wasn't until the 70s that the system collapsed.

So in the 60s, the price of gold has always been very stable.

"So, do you recycle gold here? What's the price?"

Many years heard the words and nodded, and then asked again.

The staff was overjoyed immediately, but answered cautiously.

Definitely collect gold, there are not too many currency exchange and gold recycling shops in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island.

After all, this business is very profitable.

For well-known reasons, many people go to Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other foreign places from Hong Kong Island.

Most of these people carried a lot of gold and silver. From the 40s to the 70s and [-]s, they were able to earn a lot of money in the gold recycling business on Hong Kong Island.

There are even quite a few golden stores, all of which are handed down from one store to the next three generations, and the store is still in the pattern of people leaving the store.

For banks, recycling gold is one of their jobs. How could they refuse this door-to-door business?
After more than ten minutes, many years came out of the bank with a wad of more than 1 Hong Kong dollars in cash in his pocket.

He just sold a tiny piece of gold in exchange for a little cash.

Free activities on Hong Kong Island, how could it be possible not to take this opportunity to do some shopping for many years?

Many things cannot be used in the capital, but food can be purchased, right?
Seafood can also be purchased, right?

There are also a lot of dry goods, Chinese medicinal materials, etc., many things, I am afraid that there are none in the capital.

So, he must have something to do.

As a result, not long after he left, the bank next door he saw just now was getting more and more crowded.

And just as he was passing by, a riot suddenly broke out there.

Listening to the excited shouts of the crowd, I was stunned for many years: the co-author of this Chinese bank was actually run on by the public, causing the director of the bank to die of cerebral hemorrhage on the spot.

Therefore, for a while, the scene became even more noisy.

The concept of property speculation has been around for seven or eight years since [-].

There are many methods of speculation through off-plan housing, small money for big money, before the completion of the real estate, pay a small deposit, book one or more houses and sell them to others, collect high deposits, and earn the price difference.

But as we all know, there is a great competition between Chinese-funded banks and British-funded banks.

The bank that was run on this time was obviously a Chinese bank.

In other words, it was because of the speculation that the British-funded banks made bad moves.

That's why the run on was triggered, which eventually led to tragedy.

It's just that shopping malls are like battlefields. Although British-funded banks have strong financial resources and great influence, Chinese-funded banks are rising and showing their edge.

It also made the British-funded banks a little scared, and because of the relationship between unplanned property speculation, they could not win against other Chinese-funded banks.

Under normal commercial means, I did not expect the end result to be like this.

How cruel!
The bloody level of capitalists is actually far more than that.

For many years, I just watched for a while, and then left.

Hong Kong Island seems to be prosperous, but it is actually full of dangers, which is not suitable for him.

After leaving the bank, he turned around and entered the clothing market to do some shopping.

Half an hour later, when he left the clothing store, his whole body was completely new.

Even if he passed by Yu Guangyuan now, it is estimated that the other party would not dare to recognize each other.

After all, people rely on clothes.

Walking out of the street, Many Nian reached out to hail a taxi and asked the driver to take him to a nearby seafood market.

At this time, in the Hong Kong Island area, the taxi business is already very extensive.

After all, taxis have taken root in Hong Kong Island since the 20s. Last year, in 1960, the number of taxis registered on Hong Kong Island exceeded 26.

The number of taxis is still amazing.

And from the number of registered taxis, it can be seen that the economy on Hong Kong Island has indeed begun to take off, because more and more people take taxis.

There are two charging methods: bargaining by time and distance and charging by meter (meter).

For many years, it is enough to let the other party charge according to the distance. Anyway, the seafood market is not very far away.

There are seafood markets on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, but there is no undersea tunnel between the two places.

If you want to open to traffic, you can only rely on the ferry.

So the seafood market that I want to go to for many years is naturally the seafood market on Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, the taxi drove directly from Queen's Road West to Pokfulam Road, turned over the other side of Hong Kong Island, and put down for many years at Huagui Village at Shek Pai Curve.

Since it is here, I feel relieved for many years.

Because the Pokfulam Road we passed just now is in the mountains, there are few cars, and the concealment is very high.

He only needs to get the license plate number, and he can take out his officer command car openly and drive on the roads of Hong Kong Island.

"However, is the command vehicle too exaggerated?"

Many years after I got off the bus, I stood on the land of Huagui Village, thinking silently.

If he didn't use the officer's command vehicle in the space, he could still spend a lot of money to buy a local car on Hong Kong Island.

It's just that spending more than 20 yuan to buy a car has been considered too wasteful for many years.

There is no way, after staying in the capital for several years, he has already developed the habit of calculating, and he always thinks about one thing when he buys big things: is it worth it?

Forget it, let’s take one step at a time.

Although Huagui Village is a village, there are still many modern buildings here.

Near the sea, there is a big seafood market.

It was already early in the morning, and the seafood had already been sold out, and the rest were some not-so-good ones.

After shopping around for many years, I didn't buy a single piece of seafood.

It wasn't until the price was almost felt that it started to sell.

There are no good and cheap seafood, and what is left are some very cheap seafood and expensive beautiful seafood.

Because these are not so easy to sell, the cheap seafood is naturally sold out because of the large quantity.

Expensive seafood is naturally due to the high price, not everyone can afford such seafood every day.

Coral fish such as eastern star spot, mouse spot, western star spot, sea red spot, melon seed spot, money grouper and Tsing Yi are also relatively easy to catch seafood.

As we all know, most of the "coral fish" have a colorful and beautiful skin, with more meat and less spines, and the fish meat is tender, smooth, delicate, firm and firm.

Therefore, for many years, he sold directly and spent more than 1000 yuan to pack all the seafood from several stall owners nearby.

And make sure it's a live fish.

Seafood like mouse spot, if it is a dead fish, it will not taste so fresh.

As the best steamed fish, coral fish such as rat spot and eastern star spot are very representative seafood.

Moreover, there is a saying in the market: Mouse Ban, Su Mei, Hai Hong Ban, and Tsing Yi are the "Four Big Fish Kings" with extremely high prices in Cantonese cuisine on Hong Kong Island.

Since the 40s, Cantonese cuisine has become popular in this area of ​​Hong Kong Island, and various restaurants and food stalls have sprung up since then.

After the rapid development in the 50s, coupled with the take-off attitude of Hong Kong Island's economy, the prosperity of Cantonese cuisine has been created.

After entering the 60s, in order to better reap the wealth of the rich, those restaurant owners naturally want to do what they like.

Therefore, the names of the four major fish kings, the eight major seafoods, etc. were all given out by them.

Although at the beginning, it was only promoted through chefs and waiters, but after more than ten or twenty years, unwritten rules have already been formed.

Especially the abalone, the first of the eight seafoods, has been given new tricks by the owners of restaurants and seafood dry goods stores.

One-headed abalone, two-headed abalone, etc., emerge in endlessly.

After all, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, abalone had already ranked first among the eight major seafood.

In addition, Hong Kong Island itself is located by the sea, and seafood products are extremely rich, and seafood culture is therefore prevalent.

I have also tasted a lot of seafood and many Cantonese restaurants in my previous life for many years. Of course I know the seafood culture.

More than 1000 Hong Kong dollars is still very valuable in the 60s.

On Hong Kong Island in this era, the monthly salary of a clerk is about 100 yuan to [-] Hong Kong dollars, and the monthly rent of public housing at this time is about [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars.

An ordinary private house is 5000 to 5000 yuan.

Hong Kong Island's economy has shown signs of taking off, as can be seen from wages and the number of factories.

In the 50s, the number of registered factories on Hong Kong Island was only 1960, but by [-], it had skyrocketed to just over [-].

grew very rapidly.

It is mainly due to the large demand for labor in various industries that the manufacturing industry on Hong Kong Island has flourished.

After buying the seafood, the seafood was transported away in three batches over the years.

He told the seafood boss that he drove over and was the brother-in-law of the owner of a newly opened restaurant in Kowloon, so he could just transport the seafood by himself, since he is strong anyway.

At first, the bosses were just dubious. After all, such a big customer, the vendors in the seafood stall all wanted to please him.

But as the fish tank weighing more than 400 kilograms has been directly carried for many years, the bosses are suddenly dumbfounded.

There are indeed many strong men in this era. In order to make a living, they have repeatedly carried three or four hundred catties of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. on their shoulders.

Especially in places like seafood stalls where heavy work is required, there are many strong men.

However, I have been wearing bright clothes for many years. Although I look tall, but my body is thin, how can I carry a fish tank weighing more than 400 kilograms?

I ignored the bosses for many years, but picked up the fish tank and left first.

After walking out of Huagui Village and coming to a remote place, after confirming that there was no one around, he immediately put the fish and water in the fish tank into the space together.

It was such a hassle without a car, and he had to do the trick again, two more rounds.

If you have a car, it will be much easier to drive the car directly to the door of the seafood stall.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, take a few more rounds, it's considered training.

In other words, he has been on the road recently and has not trained well.

That is, two days ago, I stayed in the room in the backyard of the tenement building and trained briefly.

But after all, it is not formal training, and the effect will be very different.

The difference between indoor and outdoor training has been understood many years before the National Games in [-].

It took about ten minutes before and after, and after many years, I finally put all the seafood worth more than 1000 Hong Kong dollars back into the space.

When I passed by a seafood stall just now, I saw the menu for many years. Minced meat porridge costs [-] cents, beef brisket rice costs [-] cents, and meat buns cost [-] cents.

This price is more expensive than that in the capital, but the wages here are generally much higher than in the capital.

After all, on Hong Kong Island, even some dishwashing ladies earn eighty or ninety now, and the average salary must be over a hundred.

However, the average salary in the capital is only 40 yuan, not to mention the vast rural areas that are not counted.

So, there's really no easy comparison.

I haven't eaten at food stalls for many years, but stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went back to the tenement building.

Although he was allowed to go shopping by Yu Guangyuan, it would be better to go back for dinner at noon.

The taxi did not stop directly at the tenement building, but one kilometer away from the tenement building, where it had been parked for many years.

After the taxi left, after many years, he found a deserted place nearby, and quickly changed his clothes back.

Although the shiny leather shoes are good-looking, if you wear them like this and go back to the tenement building, you will definitely be scolded for many years.

It is still much more comfortable to wear the black tunic suit and layered bottom.

After returning to Tanglou, I first went to report to Yu Guangyuan for many years, but the latter was in a meeting and no one paid any attention to him.

He had to go to the cafeteria to eat first.

Most of the layout of China Resources is actually similar to that of the mainland, and Tanglou also has its own canteen.

After all, this place will probably need to receive leaders from the capital frequently in the next period of time.

The specific situation is naturally because of the need to purchase food.

Sun Guohua and Yu Guangyuan came to Hong Kong Island to solve the food problem.

At present, there is a huge food shortage in the mainland. When he set off for Sunshine City, Yu Guangyuan mentioned in the meeting that he imported 150 million tons of food from foreign countries.

I was on the plane and heard about it for many years.

After all, on the plane, except for the take-off stage, Yu Guangyuan had been looking for him for many years to chat, and then he was called to a meeting by the leader.

At that time, one of the topics discussed by the leaders was how to import food from foreign countries.

Because there has never been such a precedent before, everyone is relatively cautious.

Foreign countries don't even know that there is a famine in the mainland at this time, they just think it's a spring famine.

After all, without contact with some higher-level data reports, it is impossible to know the drought problem in many places in North China.

For many years, we only knew that we needed to import grain, but we didn't know that it has grown to 150 million tons instead of 500 million tons.

Because at the moment the plane landed in Spring City, in the early morning of the day they went to Sunshine City for many years, the capital called and informed that they needed 250 million tons of food.

After that, after Guangyuan and many years arrived on Hong Kong Island, the grain became 500 million tons again.

This is also the reason why Yu Guangyuan has forgotten it for many years. After all, 500 million tons of grain is too much.

The gap is so large, and it has to be kept secret, and it is necessary to find ways to import it from foreign countries to Hong Kong Island, and then transship it to the mainland. After so many procedures, the work that needs to be completed is so huge.

Not long after, many years had just finished eating in the cafeteria, Yu Guangyuan followed Sun Guohua and the others to the cafeteria with a frown.

"Hey, Xiao Xu, why are you eating here? Didn't you go out for a stroll?"

When Yu Guangyuan saw it for many years, he felt a little relieved and asked curiously.

Although he never agreed to him for many years, he transferred from the Tiger Squadron to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and even though he was married and had children for many years, after all, he was only a 24-year-old young man for many years.

As long as they are young people, when facing the colorful world, there are very few people who do not get lost in it.

Although he has been a proven fighter for many years and will not be fascinated by the bustling outside, it seems a little wrong to have to run back to the canteen of the tenement building after lunch, right?
"Could it be that the money is all spent?"

On the opposite side, Sun Guohua had already sat down, waved his hand, and asked Many Nian to sit down as well.

Seeing that the latter had eaten all the food and the plates were very clean, Sun Guohua secretly nodded with satisfaction, but said with a smile on his mouth:
"I remember that Lao Yu gave you a hundred Hong Kong dollars? Did you buy anything? By the way, are you full? If you are not full, go get some more rice. I can't starve you to death."

The leader's words are not a blame, but a simple inquiry and concern.

In other words, the leader is just bored, taking advantage of the meal time to chat with subordinates who have been like this for many years.

After all, everyone knows that the time of the leader is very precious. Under normal circumstances, they won't greet you so much.

For many years, he directly took out the one hundred Hong Kong dollars that Yu Guangyuan gave him this morning from his pocket.

Then he stood up, looked ahead and said:
"Reporting to the leader, I didn't spend any money. I just walked around Hong Kong Island and saw a bank being run on. I heard that the chairman of the bank died of a cerebral hemorrhage. I also visited the seafood market, the pier, and the beach. The leader has finished reporting. Please give instructions."

Sun Guohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly waved him to sit down.

Fortunately, this is a tenement building. If you see it like this outside for many years, you will definitely be regarded as a different kind.

"Didn't I tell you that this is Hong Kong Island, so don't take over the domestic rules."

Although the leader said so, but for many years they just smirked foolishly.

In front of the leader, the main focus is to be a "well-behaved, obedient, sensible, calm, and measured warrior", and the leader must not let the leader think that you are deep or proud.

Otherwise, you don't even know when you are hated by the leader.

It's better to be such a naive subordinate than to please the leader too much and be rejected by the leader, right?

After all, he had never met Sun Guohua many years ago, who knows what kind of character he is?

Therefore, a naive subordinate is the usual standard.

Yu Guangyuan next to him also smiled and said:

"I gave you money to let you save money, but I didn't let you stop spending money."

"Leader, I don't need to spend money where I go, why can't I buy fish at the seafood market?"

Many years responded with a smirk, but Yu Guangyuan waved him away.

"Are you full?"

"We're full, leader."

"Then do you want to go out and continue shopping in the afternoon?"

"Leader, can I still go out?"

Of course you can go out. The meeting has not yet decided on a specific plan, and it is not the time for many years to carry out the task.

So, after staying in Tanglou for a while for many years, I went out again with a kettle.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Yu Guangyuan and Sun Guohua, and they couldn't help but laugh.

It stands to reason that the family has had a lovely wife and children for many years, so they should spend money to buy some things for their wives and children to go home.

But he didn't buy anything, and without strong willpower, he couldn't do it at all.

However, have you not bought it for many years?

He didn't dare to buy it!
The capital city mainly sells gray-toned clothes, but Hong Kong Island has colorful clothes. Why do you buy them after so many years?

So he bought ordinary clothes like white, black and gray, and didn't dare to buy clothes with other colors.

You can't take it back to cause trouble, right?

In addition, he spent a lot of money to purchase a large number of fabrics.

These fabrics are rare in the capital. Although they are also in black, gray and white, Qin Huairu has a sewing machine, so they can completely customize them for children.

After buying these things, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

I happened to pass by a car shop, and I was immediately attracted by many years, and then stepped in disobediently.

"Welcome, sir, please take a look."

A word from the staff, the sense of service is still very strong, and it has brought many years back to reality.

The cars here are really different from the command cars in space.

The command car definitely does not consider comfort, but only considers other aspects such as speed.

Therefore, although I haven't driven it a few times in many years, I know very well that the command vehicle in space is really just like that.

But these cars in front of us need to consider not only comfort, but also aesthetics, fuel consumption, safety performance and so on.

Of course, due to the limitations of the times, the cars of the 60s are actually like that, ugly!
"How much is this car?"

A two-door convertible car that I have been looking at for many years, this is a Mercedes-Benz 190SL, with two round headlights in front and a dumb-like front mouth.

The big front of the car looks very bulky, with only two seats, it is definitely a luxury car.

The dashboards are also antiques, but they look much better than the command vehicles in the space.

"Sir, this is the newest model in our store. It's a Mercedes imported from London."

Before the staff finished the introduction, they were forcibly interrupted by many years.

"I know it's a Mercedes."

He spoke in a pure Cockney accent, and he spoke very bluntly.

"I asked you how much it is, and you can just answer it directly."

"89 million Hong Kong dollars."

For a moment, the staff shut up, and after quoting the price, they remained silent.

"Can I take a test drive?"

Hearing the words of many years, the staff looked at many years again, and then said, "Sir, we need to inspect your assets."

Weed!

In Hong Kong Island in the 60s, there was such a thing as capital verification?
However, there are all these off-plan properties, and it seems that capital verification is not a big deal.

After all, he has not been a celebrity on Hong Kong Island for many years, and his staff only sell cars.

It is quite troublesome to verify capital in this day and age.

Therefore, for many years, I had to learn more about the basic information of this car, and after confirming that I wanted to buy it, I asked the other party how to verify the capital?
"Sir, there is a HSBC bank diagonally across the door from us. We can go to the bank to verify the capital first. After confirming that there is no problem, we can test drive again, okay?"

Seeing this, Nian Nian nodded, then carried his handbag, followed behind the other party, and left the auto shop.

HSBC has a high status in Hong Kong Island and is currently one of the banks on Hong Kong Island that can issue Hong Kong dollars.

The Hong Kong dollar was born in [-], which was also the year when the history of the local currency of Hong Kong Island began.

From [-] to [-], the silver dollar standard system was implemented on Hong Kong Island, but the currency circulation was relatively chaotic.

After entering [-], the Hong Kong dollar began to reform, and since then Hong Kong Island has entered the era of the paper currency standard system.

And established the British pound exchange standard system and the corresponding Hong Kong banknote issuance mechanism.

In addition to the Hong Kong Island government issuing "one yuan" banknotes, the Exchange Fund also acts as a "currency bureau".

The Exchange Fund authorizes three private note-issuing banks (HSBC, Standard Chartered, Lee) to issue banknotes.

When the three note-issuing banks issue new Hong Kong banknotes, they must pay 1% equivalent (equal to the issued amount) of British pounds to the Exchange Fund at the fixed exchange rate of "16 British pound = 100 Hong Kong dollars" in exchange for a "Certificate of Liabilities" issued by the Exchange Fund before they can issue the equivalent Hong Kong banknotes.

In addition, the note-issuing bank can also exchange the certificate of indebtedness with the Exchange Fund for pound sterling.

This issuance and management mechanism is also referred to as the "sterling exchange standard system".

In fact, it is a double-pegged model with the British pound as the anchor: the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the British pound is fixed, and the equivalent of the British pound is used as a reserve for the issuance of Hong Kong banknotes.

This is the history of the Hong Kong dollar before the 70s.

After the 70s, it had a lot to do with the violent shocks in the international monetary system.

Of course, even in the future, HSBC's position on Hong Kong Island is quite impressive.

Many years and auto shop salesperson entered HSBC Bank, and when the latter told the bank staff about the capital verification, many years directly took out several pieces of gold from the briefcase.

It directly shocked the staff.

Seeing that he was still planning to continue taking gold out of the bag for many years, the staff quickly stopped and said:

"Sir, please go to the VIP room instead of counting gold in the lobby."

The few large yellow croakers in front of the counter still have a very strong visual impact.

At this time, many people who came to the bank to do business were staring at the gold many years ago.

Eyes filled with the word 'want'.

With so much gold, who wouldn't want it?

Seeing this, many years nodded, then put the gold that he had just taken out into his bag, got up and went to the VIP room.

In the VIP room, he and the auto shop salesperson were greeted by two bank staff, one was the manager of Mediterranean Sea, and the other was the young lady at the counter just now.

"This Mr. Han, how many grams of gold do you need us to help you deal with?"

Such a good thing as recycling gold, the manager of Mediterranean, really likes it.

According to what the auto shop salesman said just now, it is necessary to verify the assets of many years, at least more than 50.

Because the bank can make a loan, the down payment only needs 50, and the rest can be purchased with a loan.

Although people in this era like to buy things in full.

But for many wealthy people, buying things with a loan is standard, and cash flow is king.

Since the emergence of off-the-plan sales, loans to buy cars and houses on Hong Kong Island are nothing new.

Especially a rich car like a Mercedes-Benz, if you don't buy it with a loan, most people really can't afford it. (end of this chapter)
