Take Arada back to the past

Chapter 223, make a deal

Yang Xiaole rode his bike and inquired all the way, and finally stopped at the entrance of a community.

Garden house?

Ok.

It's just an ordinary community in later generations, with a little greenery.

But think about it!
The houses here are basically built along the street or on the roadside.

This kind of community with greenery can also be regarded as a garden house.

Curious, he walked in.

There are only four buildings in total, each of which is only about [-] or [-] stories high. They are basically similar to the most common residential buildings in later generations.

The house should have been repaired for many years.

It should have been there for more than ten years.

When we arrived at Building 2, it was basically the same as Huang Xintong's previous community. The mottled walls were covered with various advertisements for locksmiths and dentists.

It’s just that there is less clutter accumulated.

This reminded him of those decades-old houses in later generations. Although they have been renovated, they are still as dilapidated.

There is no elevator, just a narrow staircase.

The shape of this house is also very strange. When you go up here, there is a corridor in the middle, and then you can go up on the other side.

Very inconvenient.

Yang Xiaole counted about five houses on one floor.

502.
After crawling for a while, Yang Xiaole came to where Huang Qiujing was.

Near a house on the edge.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

Yang Xiaole knocked on the house lightly and waited there.

Fortunately, it was on the fifth floor. If it were on the top of the building, he wouldn't want it.

After waiting for a while, Huang Qiujing opened the door with a pear-shaped face.

When he saw it was Yang Xiaole, the other party forced a smile: "Here he comes! Come in!"

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he stretched his head and took a look.

Then followed in.

It can be seen at a glance that this is a small two-bedroom and one-living room.

It is estimated to be about forty square meters.

These days, it is considered an ordinary mansion.

He shook his head, he couldn’t touch it after gambling!
It will really kill people.

After entering, there is a living room of five or six square meters, a small bathroom, toilet, and two bedrooms.

The lighting is quite good.

However, the things inside were in a mess, as if they had been looted.

"Sorry, sir. There's a bit of chaos at home! Sit down."

Huang Qiujing smiled awkwardly, cleared up the newspapers on the sofa, and motioned for him to sit down.

Yang Xiaole looked around and nodded.

Sitting on the sofa.

Buying a house is a big deal in any era. This is his second time buying a house, and this is his first time in the capitalist world.

After sitting down, I looked at the newspaper on the coffee table curiously.

Because what was written above surprised him.

House prices on Hong Kong Island fell by 70%.

Picked up the newspaper and started reading.

Although it is in traditional Chinese, it does not put much pressure on him.

Because the mainland only implemented simplified Chinese characters and pinyin last year, after all, I have learned traditional Chinese characters for several years.

Huang Qiujing watched him reading the newspaper, and became anxious when she saw the content.

Yang Xiaole ignored her and just watched quietly.

It turns out that since 58, the real estate here has been under heavy construction in the early 50s. Over the years, supply has exceeded demand, and both house prices and land prices have dropped by 70% (history is available).

Various reasons are also stated.

After reading it, Yang Xiaole sighed.

What an oversupply.

Bullshit!
With so many people living in small houses on Hong Kong Island, how can there be an oversupply?

It’s just because the salary is too low and I can’t afford a house.

Unless you really have savings, if you don’t have savings and just own a house, if you replace the house, the price of your house will also decrease.

What you can’t afford is still unaffordable.

After reading, he put down the newspaper, looked at the nervous Huang Jingqiu and said with a smile: "Okay. Let's talk about the house! Tell us everything about the situation."

After hearing this, Huang Jingqiu thought for a moment and said: "Our house has a total of 412 square feet, 105 square feet. This was the house where some officials from Hong Kong Island lived here before, so it is not like the old houses outside that have one floor. It’s for sale, it’s very convenient, and the house has good lighting, you can take a look.”

Yang Xiaole nodded, "Just keep talking and check again later."

412 square feet, which is about 41 square feet.

1000 yuan per square meter.

As for the sale of one floor or the entire building, he knew this situation.

But he couldn't remember when the change started.

However, when he was riding on the road before, he saw some newly built communities, and the prices were all for houses, not buildings. He thought they were sold according to rooms.

Huang Jingqiu nodded and continued: "There are kitchens and bathrooms, and one good thing here is that the water is rarely cut off. Of course, the water is cut off occasionally, but it is much better than outside."

Yang Xiaole was confused for a moment: "Water cut off? Will Hong Kong Island be cut off from water?"

"Yes, other houses, especially some old ones, often have water outages. We have much less water here, because it used to be where foreigners lived."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

He had only heard that Hong Kong Island was a place short of water, but he really didn't know the details.

"The house price here was around 280 per square foot the year before last! Now the price has dropped."

After saying that, he quickly explained: "This price is considered parity in the neighborhood."

Yang Xiaole thought for a while, stood up, and walked toward the balcony.

When I came to the balcony, I looked up and saw the mountains not far away and the surrounding buildings.

As far as the eye can see, the slopes of the mountains in the distance are covered with densely packed wooden houses, which look like a refugee camp.

Other than this, the environment is actually pretty good.

But he didn’t buy it to live in.

Returning to the main room, looking at the messy house, he asked: "Is it troublesome to apply for a house here? How long does it take? Also, I have a residence permit. Is it easy to buy a house?"

"Okay, okay! No trouble, just go to the Housing Department to register and pay the taxes at the Tax Bureau."

Huang Qiujing hurriedly answered the call and then said: "I am studying law. I can ask my senior sister to draw up a contract, which can save time in the middle. It will be processed tomorrow and can be completed in the morning. And once you have done it, you can go The police station here has changed their ID cards. But there is a prerequisite, that is, you cannot get a loan. If you get a loan, it will take a lot of time."

What she said is true, the loan must be slow.

And she was also in a hurry for money.

Time is really too late.

Yang Xiaole thought for a while and nodded: "What taxes do you have to pay here? How much are the taxes?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Qiujing said directly: "Deed tax: 1% of the house price, about 420 yuan, stamp duty is 0.05% of the house price. According to the estimated value of the house, it should be about 20 yuan. The rest is to be paid four times a year. No, the transaction fee is 3 cents per square foot, which is a little over 12 yuan, the surveying and mapping assessment fee is about 5 yuan, and the title registration fee and evidence collection fee are almost 4 yuan in total."

Yang Xiaole nodded. Except for that little difference, the total cost was about 460 yuan.

Okay.

But what the difference was, he was confused for a while.

Regarding this issue, Huang Qiujing explained: "The difference is used for public services, such as police salaries, service expenses including sanitation, drinking water, street lights and fire protection. This is measured based on the rent price. Ten percent of the rent 61.8. According to this house, the rent should be about 1 yuan. 5 cent and 744 cents per square foot. It is about close to 74.4 yuan, and the difference is [-] yuan. It can be paid at one time for a year or for many years. Normally it is paid once a quarter. If If you exceed the deadline, you will be fined.”

"So expensive?"

Yang Xiaole was surprised.

How much is the salary level here per month?

Even though this is the most prosperous area on Hong Kong Island, the salary of ordinary people is only about one or two hundred.

Doesn't half of this have to be removed?
Huang Qiujing nodded: "Well, that's the price! This is a public house, so the price is lower. If it's a private house, the price will be higher."

Yang Xiaole nodded.

It seems that it was reported in the news later that half of the salary of Hong Kong Islanders must be paid in rent. It is true!
It seems that it did not start in later generations, but has already started now.

But according to Huang Qiujing, isn't this the same as property fees?

It’s just that this place is handed over to the government.

After thinking about it for a while, he asked: "What about the house price? How much are you prepared to sell it for?"

When it comes to the most important part, Huang Qiujing pursed her lips, hesitated and said, "Originally it was 43000, but now it only costs 42000."

Then looked at him nervously.

Yang Xiaole saw that the other party's expression did not make him anxious, and nodded: "Okay, then I will follow what you said. By the way, what you just said is that you have finished the surveying, mapping and assessment, right?"

If it hadn't been done, the other party wouldn't have given such an accurate price just now.

Huang Qiujing nodded: "Yeah, I've done it in advance. I just need to go trade tomorrow."

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly.

It’s also understandable. It’s probably because they did everything in advance for a quick transaction.

He looked around, shrugged and asked, "Then... what should I do now? Should I sign a contract or what? I brought part of the money with me."

Huang Qiujing was surprised when she heard this: "There is a contract, there is a contract."

After saying that, he stood up and left, finding a contract from the messy room.

It's written right at first glance.

Yang Xiaole took a look and frowned, damn, I can't understand such a professional contract!

Because it's all in English.

Seeing his expression, Huang Qiujing thought for a moment and suddenly understood, and hurriedly said: "Let me translate it for you."

Then I explained it to him sentence by sentence.

Yang Xiaole just listened to the other party's explanation and only took a rough look at the contract.

It feels like there shouldn't be any big problem.

After Huang Qiujing finished translating, she asked him apologetically: "By the way, I forgot to ask you what your name is?"

"My surname is Yang, Yang Hao. Mu Yiyang, Hao Ran and upright Hao."

"Oh, Mr. Yang, are you still confused about anything? If possible, you can sign here. The deposit will be paid in advance at 5% according to industry regulations, and the rest will be paid when you go through the formalities tomorrow. Oh, by the way, are you... an adult? "

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole took out his residence permit and looked at it, and then said, "Well, I'm an adult."

The coming-of-age day for him was yesterday.

"Well, that's fine. If you're not of age, the contract you signed will be invalid."

Yang Xiaole nodded and did not sign in a hurry.

Instead, he asked: "I would like to ask, is there anyone else in your family? Can you make the decision on this house? Will there be any other disputes later?"

When Huang Qiujing heard this, her smile dropped and she said, "I have an older brother, but this property has nothing to do with him."

"Oh? What do you mean? Then you are the only one who pays the money your father owes?"

He could guess that the other party's father had passed away.

But I didn't expect that there was a brother.

Huang Qiujing was silent for a while after hearing this, and finally shook her head: "No, I will bear [-], and he will bear [-]."

"why?"

Yang Xiaole felt strange for a while.

Men actually bear less responsibility.

Hearing this, Huang Qiujing shook her head: "Sorry, Mr. Yang, this is our family matter, I don't want to say it. But you can rest assured, he will not come to cause trouble, and he has no right to cause trouble."

Yang Xiaole nodded upon hearing this.

It didn't matter to him, as long as he didn't get into any trouble.

Anyway, he will rent this place out in the future.

"Okay, as you said, this is the deposit, just click it."

Then he took out four HKD 4 notes and one HKD [-] note.

Huang Qiujing took the money and counted it: "No problem, you can sign the contract."

Yang Xiaole nodded.

Then the two signed the contract.

He took a contract and put it away, and then said to her: "Ms. Huang, I don't know how I can rent this house if I want to rent it out?"

There is no intermediary here, which is very inconvenient.

He almost wanted to set up a real estate agency here.

Unfortunately, he is not here.

I have to say that in this period, Hong Kong Island was really full of gold as long as you had money!
Huang Qiujing carefully collected the contract and money, and then said: "Now I only have to go outside to rent out the happy house. If anyone needs it, I will come over and ask."

After saying that, he asked him: "Um...are you not allowed to live in this house?"

"Oh, I don't plan to stay there just yet."

"Then at what price is Mr. Yang going to rent it out?"

Seeing her expression, Yang Xiaole immediately understood what she meant, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Is Miss Huang allowed to rent this house? If you want to rent it, it can be cheaper, but... I have a question, this house A total of only 4 was sold, and you need to pay back 2. What are you going to do with the remaining money?"

8000 yuan is no longer a small amount of money.

In the suburbs of Sham Shui Po, you can buy a small boring house.

The difference in housing prices between the two sides is quite large.

According to her, there is no price drop here. It can already be sold for [-] square feet. Even if the price drops less here in the city center, it can still be sold for close to [-] square feet.

Huang Qiujing smiled reluctantly after hearing this: "Thank you, Mr. Yang, for your concern. I have already thought of the rest."

Yang Xiaole saw this and stopped asking any more questions.

It is rare to meet a law student who still has many questions to ask.

With so much money in hand, I can’t use it when I take it back.

Putting it on your hands and waiting for it to rot is a very stupid thing, and he wouldn't be so stupid.

I definitely need a loan to buy a house!
He doesn't know how to trade stocks anyway, and he doesn't have the time or interest to do physical business now.

In my last life, I had a wish. It would be nice to have a few houses and just collect rent without having to work.

He would never fall to that point in his life, but he still wanted to stock up on some houses.

Especially Hong Kong Island, which has the highest housing prices in the world.

Thinking of this, he said: "Ms. Huang, can you spare some of your time? I want to consult on some matters."

"Yes! No problem!"

Huang Qiujing didn't dare to refuse, so she quickly agreed.

"Oh, I would like to ask, what is the down payment ratio for a loan to buy a house here? How much is the interest rate, and what is the maximum number of years?"

He has seen that there are loans to buy houses now, but basically they are ten to 12 years old.

This time is too short.

The interest doesn't matter to him.Even if it doubles in 30 years, this inflation rate is enough.

After hearing this, Huang Qiujing thought for a moment and said: "The down payment ratio is 4.3%. As for the loan interest rate, the current basic interest rate is 2.3%. However, housing prices are now sluggish. In order to stimulate the property market and economy, the Hong Kong government has some banks that can achieve 3.5%." % to about 15%, each bank is different. As for the term, it seems that it is only 12 years at most, and most of them are ten to [-] years."

Yang Xiaole was thinking after listening.

Pretty much what he saw.

Just ten years.

It doesn't matter to him whether house prices go up or down.

This loan ratio is really low!
Then he asked some questions.

I feel like I’ve asked almost all the questions. When I think about it again, I actually have a lot of questions. I just picked a few key ones and asked them.

Ask the rest slowly.

Others can find out too.

"Okay, Miss Huang, I won't disturb you today. If you go to go through the formalities tomorrow morning, I'll come over. Is it downstairs?"

As for the matter of exchanging gold, he has forgotten it.

All that gold was exchanged for just over 40 yuan, less than a tenth of it in cash.

Huang Qiujing nodded slightly.

The two agreed to be here at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, and Yang Xiaole was ready to go downstairs and leave.

But he saw a green chip on the wooden cabinet, which was Du Laozhi's chip.

So he asked: "Ms. Huang, can I take this chip out? Can I still bring it in?"

Following his gaze, Huang Qiujing turned around and sighed, "Well, these are chips from Du Laozhi's casino, you can take them out."

"Oh, thanks!"

Yang Xiaole thanked him.

There are so many more in my own space!

I just don’t know whether to sell it or not, so it’s good to make trouble!

When we came out, it was already around five o'clock.

After thinking for a moment, he decided that he had nothing to do, so he prepared to walk around.

Suddenly a trademark on the wall caught his attention.

This is an advertisement for selling a car.

Pacific Automotive Department.

[-]th anniversary, Xilinmen Motors.

Ford's latest model, below is a pair of introductory and bragging words, such as "the car can be driven [-] miles for only one yuan", which means it saves fuel.

The 1.5L displacement is priced at HKD 11980.

By the way, he would still believe this Japanese car if it was fuel-efficient, but it would be nonsense if this old American car was fuel-efficient.

It’s not like I’ve never seen car commercials before.

It was either a Japanese car or another brand. He had almost never seen it in Kyoto, so it was not suitable.

No matter what, I have to find someone who has seen it.

But I didn’t see the car from Da Mao here, otherwise it would be a good idea to buy a Da Mao car.

He had seen Ford in Kyoto.

Then I looked at the addresses above. There are three places in total, Nathan Road in Kowloon, Gloucester Street, and the last one is actually in To Lao Chi.

I went to Du Laozhi before, and there were indeed many shops nearby, but I didn't pay attention to what was sold.

But no matter how stupid he is, he can't run there!

Kowloon also needs to cross the river.

Then all that's left is Gloucester.

I passed a road called Gloucester Road before, but I don't know if it has anything to do with it.

Then we rode in the direction of the pier.

Along the way, Yang Xiaole saw some ordinary and old residential areas mixed in among the high-rise buildings. Yang Xiaole really wanted to buy this place.

Even here, there are still slums that have not been demolished, and there are quite a few of them.

Where the hell is this place!

It will be the absolute financial center in the future, the CBD of the entire Hong Kong Island CBD.

Damn it, I lost my money.

Ignoring this, I rode across several roads and arrived at Gloucester Road.

After a little asking, I found out the location of the dealership.

The location is opposite the pier where he took the boat out, and there are only two roads in total.

I knew the place and rode there.

Although he knew the approximate location, the houses here were too dense, and it took him a few minutes to find the place after a winding road.

When we arrived at the place, the dealer had not yet taken a break.

There were a total of seven or eight cars on display inside, similar to those sold in later generations.

Yang Xiaole carried his backpack and went in directly.

ugly!
It's so ugly!
The length and width are basically the same as those of later generations.

But the combination of the long front and long trunk makes the middle driving position and the back seat very small.

When he came in, no one greeted him.

Yang Xiaole didn't pay attention and watched from inside.His eyes were directly fixed on the black Ford car in the innermost part. It was a good model, not this rectangular front, and had a slight curvature.

I kind of watch the car where the boss rides in the TV series "Shanghai Tang".

you can!

He had seen this car in the city.

Just him.

It's just that the driving position is on the right, which feels weird.

"Sir, do you need anything?"

While thinking, a young man walked over nervously.

Yang Xiaole looked back and saw that he must be a newcomer, and a group of people had just pushed him over to practice with him.

"Let me introduce you!"

Looking at the car, he gestured.

Hearing this, the other party was obviously stunned for a moment. He was not from here.

Then he shook off his thoughts.

He introduced with a smile: "This is a Ford...with a displacement of 1.9L...priced at HK$16890."

The other party introduced it in detail there.

After saying that, just look at him like this.

Yang Xiaole nodded slightly when he heard this and asked: "Is there any existing car with this black car? How to get the license plate? When can it be done at the fastest?"

"Yes, you get a free license plate when you buy a car. You can take it away at any time, but you need to go to the tax bureau to pay taxes and the transportation bureau to apply for a certificate. We can handle this for you, or you can handle it yourself."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole walked around the car.

Finally, he came back and said, "Okay, it's up to him. Go and pay. You can help me drive the car to a place later. It's on the edge of the mountainous area."

Don’t be in a hurry to sign up.

And he had to practice.

I used to learn how to drive, but before I even bought a car, people came into this world.

It was completely forgotten long ago.

I can't remember even a little bit of that.

"This this……"

The young man was stunned. Are you going to buy it now?

"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient? I brought all the money."

Yang Xiaole asked.

By the way, he also patted his backpack.

When the other party heard this, he quickly agreed: "Convenient, convenient! Sir, please come over here!"

By the way, I made a gesture of please.

The two came to the rest area next to them, and the other person ran to find someone.

After a while, a beautiful woman came over.

"Sir, do you really want this car now?"

"Yeah, that's right! But later you can fill up the gas for me and send someone to help me take the car to a place. I just got my driver's license. Is this okay?"

"no problem."

The beauty agreed with a smile and quickly took out the contract in her hand and handed it to him.

Yang Xiaole still couldn't understand.

I didn't care, it was just a one-and-done deal anyway.

If you have money, the procedure is just a piece of cake.

The other party handed him a pile of documents, indicating that these were for going to the tax bureau and transportation bureau to go through the procedures, and that everything was complete.

After filling up the gas, the beauty got into the car and waved to him: "Pretty boy! I'll take you there!"

When Yang Xiaole saw this, he got into the car directly.

When the other party saw this, he slowly drove out of the dealership.

Although the procedure was completed quickly, it still took nearly an hour, and it was already dark outside.

"Pretty boy, where are you going?"

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked: "Take me to a road with fewer people and fewer cars. The fewer the better, I want to practice driving."

Upon hearing this, the beauty's eyes lit up.

He drove the car on the road with a smile.

Yang Xiaole sat in the car and felt that the leather cushion under her butt was no worse than the cars of later generations.

It's just that the interior is too simple, and the steering wheel is also very solid.

While walking on the road, beautiful women were chatting with her.

I asked him some information, such as whether he had just arrived in Hong Kong Island and so on.

Why would Yang Xiaole be interested in chatting with her?

The length is not bad.

But he is too old, at least 25 or [-] years old.

By the time he can ride, he will be old.

Now he can't fire the gun.

But at this time, he was thinking about a problem, and that was the issue of money.

Looking at the consumption power of Hong Kong Island, you will know what a huge asset more than 600 million is. If you use it carelessly in the future, the news may leak out.

Because the address registered on his residence permit is the address of Huang Xintong’s aunt’s home.

I am not afraid.

It would be troublesome if he got into the other party's house.

We need to find a way to solve this.

I don’t know if I will still have the previous files after changing my ID card. If not, it’s best. If there are still, it will be a troublesome thing.

It should be time to get off work at this time, and there are a lot of cars on the road.

But the destination is very close.

It was only about a kilometer or two, and we stopped at a red light in about ten minutes.

Because this is the old Peak Road.

Further up is the entrance to Taiping Mountain.

The areas on both sides near the mountains were exactly the same as what Huang Qiujing's house had seen before, with low wooden houses everywhere.

The dense crowd.

After the car stopped, the beauty sat there without moving, and quietly stretched out her hand: "Pretty boy, do you need anything~~"

"Hey, no need, no need, you can go back. Thank you. This is the hard work fee."

Yang Xiaole quickly waved his hand.

Then he stuffed a hundred dollar bill into the other person's chest.

It's okay to have fun.

Forget it if you really play.

Although many people got married at the age of twelve or thirteen in the past, he didn't want to waste his first time with these people.

Not interested in.

The beauty was a little dissatisfied when she heard this.

But when I saw 100 yuan, my eyes lit up.

Even if you are really hooked, you may not be able to get so much!
This is equivalent to half a month's salary.

Then he got out of the car happily.

Naturally, Yang Xiaole also got out of the car and came to the driving position on the right.

Watching the woman behind him leave, he began to focus on the car.

I took a picture of the car and realized that it was my first car.

If you have a new car, don’t let it break down!
He has no ability to repair cars.

Putting these thoughts behind him, he was ready to give it a try, otherwise he wouldn't be able to buy it back and put it in the space to play with!

Damn it, why are you driving?

He had already paid attention to the saleswoman who was driving just now. After all, he still had some knowledge.

But I haven’t touched the car for so long that I forgot to clean it.

He still knows how to start the car.

He stepped on the brake and clutch, took the key and started the car.

"Release the clutch, release the handbrake when the car shakes, and apply the gas gently. It seems like this."

I tried to start the car according to my previous memory and the way I just sold it.

"Pfft!"

The car turned off.

Damn, you lifted it too fast.

Restore and start again.

Release the clutch and apply oil.

This time it started.

The car drove slowly forward.

"Tu Tu Tu!"

After a while, the car made a loud noise.

"Damn, I forgot to change gears."

The speed of the car increased, but the gear did not come up, and the car started to feel asthmatic.

After changing gears, the feeling of asthma disappeared immediately, and the speed of the car increased instantly.

Not bad, not bad, not completely forgotten.

I forgot to clean it before, but with a little practice, I can get used to it.

Driving the car on the mountain top road.

After driving for a few minutes, the cabin was almost invisible.

However, he could see scattered houses on the road from time to time, which reminded him of where this place was.

Taiping Mountain.

The most luxurious wealthy area on Hong Kong Island.

Although Hong Kong Island has a small area, the protection of mountainous areas is very strong.

Except for the people who originally lived here, land for housing on the mountain is rarely opened every year. Even in later generations, housing here is very rare.

It seems that famous wealthy people in Hong Kong have owned properties here.

Of course, the villa that I planned to buy before was also very rare.

The current selling price may not be much different.

But the speed of promotion here is faster. After all, there are still many places in Hong Kong Island that have not been developed!

He saw many villas along the way, but he was not interested in getting to know them, and they would not pay attention to him.

After a while, the car reached the top of the mountain.

I found an open spot, stopped, and got out of the car.

The mountain road at this time was obviously repaired, but it was not the cement road of later generations. Although the road surface was not full of potholes, it was not very good either.

It's a completely dirt road.

He didn't care about it, but stood there and looked into the distance.

I have to say that there is a reason why housing prices here are expensive.

At a glance, most of the entire Hong Kong Island was within his field of vision, including the opposite side of the river and the sea to the west.

The lights were dim.

It looks particularly beautiful at dusk.

Seeing that it was getting dark, he drove the car and prepared to leave.

"Pfft!"

Fuck!
Turned off again.

Still not used to it.

Restart the car, start the car, and keep experimenting along the mountain top road.

Before going down the mountain, he quietly put the car away.

Because there are police checks on the road from time to time.

He doesn't have a driver's license.

After descending the hillside, we returned to the bustling city center again.

However, although it is only two or three kilometers away from the port, there are still many slum areas here.

After coming out, looking at the lively night, I went to the bustling area and quietly put away my bicycle.

Walking alone on the road.

In front of a store, Yang Xiaole looked at the door. This was a stall selling newspapers and magazines.

The boss is eating inside.

There are six people in the family, three generations old.

Yang Xiaole scanned back and forth on the newsstand and found two newspapers. As for other gossip magazines, he was not very interested.

"Boss, how much is this?"

I got two newspapers and shouted into them.

Hearing the sound, an old man walked out from inside, wiping his mouth.

After looking him up and down, he said, "A total of 4 cents!"

Yang Xiaole nodded.

2 cents a serving.

He took out a 5 cent coin from his pocket and handed it to the other party.

I took the found dime and left.

After leaving, Yang Xiaole watched there. Since he wanted to make money from money, he should at least understand the general situation.

Find a flower bed and sit there.

The first headline he read was the future development direction of real estate on Hong Kong Island.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it means that Li Chaoren will not be a plastic flower king and enter the real estate industry.

Among them, a large number of wealthy people on Hong Kong Island are selling off the real estate industry. Most of the wealthy people are concentrated in finance, shipping, trade, retail, energy and other industries.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole knew that Lao Li's first bargain hunt for Hong Kong real estate was at this time!

It seems like this guy's model is different from others.

Others are selling off-the-plan properties, but what he does seems to be only renting and not selling.

Because he only rents and does not sell, he holds a lot of land in Hong Kong Island, which allows him to make a lot of money.

Another newspaper stated that industrial land on Hong Kong Island is NT$104.85 per square meter; non-industrial land such as commercial buildings, offices, and entertainment venues is NT$1668.44; and residential land is NT$164.75.

Square meters, not one square foot.

Damn, it’s so cheap.

Even the price of office land is only 1668 square meters.

Newspapers also wrote at this time that Hong Kong Island was undergoing an industrial wave.

Part of it is a large number of people coming from the mainland, who are cheap labor, and part of it is the demand from the mainland, which has attracted many foreign investors to invest and set up factories here.

At the same time, Hong Kong Island is also transforming into the financial industry.

Oh, what a great opportunity!

After reading the newspaper, he finally understood why so many people on Hong Kong Island had no place to live and housing prices were still falling.

The hillside on Huang Qiujing's side before, and the hillside just at the foot of Taiping Mountain.

So many wooden houses!

How could supply exceed demand?

Or because in the past, the houses here were basically sold in their entirety, with four to five floors a building, sold in packages, while those buildings with more than ten floors were basically public housing, which could be sold as single rooms.

Housing prices on Hong Kong Island are so high that even locals cannot afford to buy luxury homes.

They are now sold by the room.

But it is only limited to the model that started in the past two years. For example, the new houses I saw when I was walking around before, and the houses built before, cannot be sold as single rooms.

Many of these houses are bought by wealthy people and then rented out.

It can be said that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Because the consumption level here is actually very high, many food items are imported from the mainland or from abroad.

After reading it, Yang Xiaole put the newspaper into the space.

It would be nice to know about it.

At this time, he had already made up his mind.

The house tomorrow is for him to apply for an ID card.

Then buy a villa, and use the rest to buy office buildings or shops, and then leave them there to collect rent.

He didn't know when he would be able to come over anyway.

After walking around for a while, I saw a quite high-end restaurant and walked in directly.

Try Hong Kong Island’s specialties.

When he entered the restaurant, it was bustling inside. There were many locals from Hong Kong eating here in the hall. Most of them spoke so fast that he couldn't understand them.

"Welcome, how many gentlemen?"

The waiter asked him in Hong Kong.

Yang Xiaole looked around: "One person, give me a private room."

Hearing his accent, the waiter frowned.

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole glanced at him and asked calmly: "What's wrong? Are you afraid that I can't pay you?"

"No no."

The waiter also reacted. This kind of momentum should be earned.

Then he took him to a small private room on the second floor.

When he sat down, the waiter started giving him a menu.

Yang Xiaole took it and opened it and took a look.

The price is really not cheap.

Roast suckling pig 38, Buddha jumping over the wall 188, roasted suckling pigeon 28,

Winter Melon, Barley and Pork Ribs Soup18
Abalone, 4 heads for 38 each.

There are also a bunch of other dishes, some of which are cheap.

I ordered these five dishes in total.

Just try the taste and it will be packed soon if you can’t finish it.

After ordering, Yang Xiaole looked at the waiter, "What's wrong? Is there a flower on my face?"

The waiter came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, no, Sir, have you finished eating so much?"

"It's okay, I can't finish eating and take it away."

Upon hearing this, the waiter nodded and left directly.

A big one indeed.

This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall can't even sell a few copies in a day.

After the others left, Yang Xiaole looked at the house.

It is obviously a newly renovated house.

This location is very close to the port, and also very close to the bank buildings we saw before. It is really a prime location!
It looks like just over 100 square meters.

Don’t think you can win such a big store without billions in the future.

Even now, the prices are ridiculously high.

Commercial land is ten times that of residential land.

The waiter went downstairs.

He came to the service desk and handed the menu to the kitchen.

Then I was thinking about what Yang Xiaole said, and it felt like it was similar to what Brother B and the others said today!
