The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Chapter 539 Unkind and Unrighteous!

66 12 Month 23 Day.

The twelfth day of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.

Suitable: travel.

Li Ming easily boarded the train to the south.

From Beijing all the way south to Guangzhou, because sea transportation is blocked by the strait, cars cannot travel such a long distance at this time, and the only ways are planes and trains.

Li Ming was not qualified to sit on the plane.

The only option is the Beijing-Guangzhou line train.

The total length is close to 2300 kilometers, the journey takes 51 or 59 hours, and the average speed is about 40 kilometers per hour.

15次列车，第一天7点20分，第三天18点20分到。

23次列车，第一天13点10分，第三天18点30分到。

In 67, the speed will increase, reaching an average of 60 kilometers per hour, and the whole journey will take 36 hours and 50 minutes.

Of course, it’s common sense that trains don’t run on time!
Bang, bang, bang, Li Ming wandered to Guangzhou.

Without leaving the station, he climbed on a train bound for the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Line.

It took another four hours. When the train was approaching Bao'an Luohu Railway Station, he slipped off the train early.

The inspection at Luohu Station is very strict, because there is a boundary bridge next to it, and across the bridge is the harbor city.

There are mostly paddy fields on both sides of the railway line. Li Ming complained in his heart that it was really not conducive to travel.

Because he was able to detect the inspectors early, he successfully bypassed the layers of defense.

He easily pushed the boat across the tens of meters of boundary river.

Go to the New Territories and ride his beloved bicycle, which will never be stuck in traffic jams.
Although he didn't speak 'vernacular', he wasn't worried at all about being discovered.

There are a lot of people in Bao'an and Hong Kong City who can speak "Hakka", and there are even more people in the New Territories, and he can speak it.

At this time, 'Hakka' and 'Vernacular' are accepted without any problem.

The traditional Chinese character for "Zhen" is "甽", which refers to the ditch in the field in Hakka dialect. "Shenzhen" is named after the dense water swamps around the village and a deep ditch (i.e. Shenzhen River) in the field.

Most of the time, there is strength in numbers.

In Beijing, at this time, the immigrant population does not account for the majority, or because they come from all over the world and do not account for the majority in each subdivision, the accent of the outsiders is slowly changed by the "erhuayin" of the hutongs.

In Bao'an and Gangcheng, it's just the opposite. Because more and more immigrants speak "vernacular", local people who speak other languages ​​gradually start to speak "vernacular".

There is really power in numbers.

Li Ming rode his bicycle inconspicuously. There were many bicycles in the port city at this time.

He had already prepared the clothes he was wearing.

He wears a white shirt on his upper body, black pants on his lower body, a thin long-sleeved jacket, and shiny large leather shoes.

What Lou Xiao'e bought for him before were all high-end goods made by top tailors.

In the large Pearl River Delta area from Guangzhou to Hong Kong City, the average daytime high temperature in December is around 12 degrees, and the average nighttime low temperature is around 20 degrees, and it is extremely difficult to get below 15 degrees.

There is nothing out of place in the Hong Kong city when he is dressed like this.

Having rested on the train, he regarded the night as day and continued southward along the railway line.

In the middle of the night, he had arrived in Kowloon.

The next day, Li Ming checked out of the hotel he found at night.

He found a place to exchange the gold for cash, which was US$35 an ounce, for US$350, and then went to find a luxury hotel.

At this time, there are many choices, including Marco Polo Hotel, Peninsula Hotel, Miramar Hotel, President Hotel (Hyatt Hotel) and so on.

Li Ming chose to stay at the Marco Polo Hotel. It had only been opened two years ago and had a very new decoration. The most important thing was that it was close to the ferry terminal and had convenient transportation.

The first undersea tunnel in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, the Hung Hom Undersea Tunnel, from Hung Hom in Kowloon to Causeway Bay in Hong Kong Island, took construction in 68 and was completed and opened to traffic in 72.

The two places are now connected by ferry.

In order not to waste energy, he wanted to set the anchor point once.

His schedule is still very busy, he needs to apply for identity and buy a good house.

Applying for an identity document is not a big problem. You can get a real identity by just looking for a broker.

Not to mention fake ones. Not to mention that this is the era of the Four Detectives. In the 80s, fake IDs were also rampant.

In Hong Kong City, the rich and powerful are the bosses.

With money, nothing is a problem, someone will help solve all the troubles.

It is impossible to leave your real name behind when you are away from home.

Li Ming took the pseudonym "Li Buren" to apply for documents.

After spending money to go through a set of procedures, he is already a serious Hong Kong resident 'Li Buren'.

"Mr. Li, you have to change your address as soon as possible. It won't be long before someone else wants to use this address to register their identity."

"Nothing bothers you, Master. Mr. Huang, I would like to ask if you have any news about the thousand-foot mansion, the kind that can be moved in immediately?"

Broker Huang Fuyi asked more, "Do you want to rent it? Or buy it?"

"purchase."

"For a thousand-square-foot mansion, it costs about 5 to 10 Hong Kong dollars?" Huang Fuyi's service attitude was very good and he quoted the market price.

This is to test the strength of 'Li Buren'.

"RMB 10 is not a problem. The key is to have a house that can be moved in immediately. The surrounding environment should not be too bad, especially there should be no disputes!"

It was a large commission, and Huang Fuyi immediately agreed, "No problem! I have several houses in my hands, but to make sure it is accurate, I will confirm it again now!"

"Do you still remember the room number I live in?" Li Ming didn't care whether what the other party said was true or false, as long as he had a house by then.

"2211, easy to remember."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Thousand-foot mansions and thousand-foot bungalows are actually apartments of about 90 square meters.

Most people can't afford a house of this size.

The salary of ordinary people in Hong Kong City is about 300 yuan per month.

If you save 3600 yuan without eating or drinking for a year, you can collect 15 yuan in 5 years.

If you collect 10 yuan, it will take 30 years.

Ordinary people who buy a house mostly buy a house with an installment payment of 80-100 yuan per month.

Li Ming had almost spent the money he had exchanged in the morning. He said goodbye to the yellow broker and found different places to continue exchanging gold. He also wanted pounds and Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, the Hong Kong dollar was still based on the British pound as the fixed exchange rate, with 1 British pound being exchanged for 16 Hong Kong dollars.

The fixed exchange rate is 1 US dollars for 2.8 pound. 1 US dollar is fixed at 360 yen.

In Hong Kong City, the main things you can usually come into contact with are pounds, US dollars, and Japanese yen.

In 67, the pound was going to be in crisis again, the U.S. dollar-dominated Bresenton system was also a bit unstable, and the Japanese yen's low exchange rate policy was about to end.

These are all opportunities for Li Ming to make money.

While he was thinking about it, two arrogant gangsters followed him.

It was probably for the bag in his hand, which contained 7200 Hong Kong dollars exchanged at the seventh exchange shop.

A lot of money.

Li Ming just stood at the crossroads and refused to leave.

The two gangsters didn't know what he wanted to do, so they stopped and whispered to each other.

"Ah Cai, Kaizi is not leaving, are you planning to take a taxi?"

"Sanghu, were you accidentally exposed?"

Sanghu, whose face was full of anger, said, "Why didn't you say that you were exposed!"

Ah Cai, the subtle ghost, complained: "I was very careful and didn't even look at him directly. You're always staring at people. You're a ghost only if you don't get discovered."

Sanghu also had his own reasons, "There are people coming and going on the street. Let's stay far away. If we don't keep an eye on it, it will be your fault if we get lost?"

"I think we should just rush in, grab it and run away."

Ah Cai has many ideas, "No need! We are all familiar with the patrolmen and plainclothes policemen on this street."

"You go up and hit him first, and then say that he robbed your bag. You grab the bag and I will testify for you. He can't tell you what he said."

Sanghu said dissatisfied: "Why should I hit you? Why didn't you do it?"

Ah Cai whispered: "You are big! When grabbing a bag, he can't beat you."

Sanghu was not a fool. His retort just now was to find a reason to get more money. "If I work harder, when the money is divided, I want to get more!"

It's not a small amount of ten or eight yuan. Ah Cai said unhappily: "I came up with this idea, so I have to calculate an extra share!"

Sang Hucai said disdainfully: "You don't need this bullshit idea, I'll just grab it."

After saying that, he ignored Ah Cai and Sanghu rushed forward. Ah Cai hurriedly followed. The two gangsters successfully grabbed the bag and ran away.

"It's a robbery!" "There's 7200 yuan in it!"

Li Mingguang shouted a few words, but he didn't even take two steps to pursue him, and then he blended into the crowd.

The two gangsters ran for a long time and stopped at a corner.

Ah Cai was exhausted and held on to the wall, "Buyong ran away, but the man didn't catch up."

Sanghu said proudly: "I told you, it would be so easy to just grab it. What a bad idea you came up with, it will be very troublesome, and you will have to pay extra for the plainclothes."

Ah Cai changed the subject, "Okay. Open it and see if the money counts."

"Hem home shovel!"

"Where's the money in the bag? Why are it all newspapers!"

"You ask me, who am I to ask!"

Ah Cai thought more, "7200 yuan, what can we give it to? We are screwed!"

Sanghu said angrily: "Damn! I stared at that pretty boy all the way, and he had no chance to change the bag. It must have been the bastards at the exchange shop who dropped the bag!"

"What shall we do now?"

"What should I do? Find the boss! Fuck him."

"What if the boss doesn't believe us?"

"It won't take a while to cut so many newspapers. Find the boss quickly."

"Yes, yes, let's go!"

This is why Li Ming just robbed these two people.

If it was just an ordinary motive for making money, the two of them would be busy in vain, and a bag would be given as a reward for doing things for him.

If the exchange shop colluded with outsiders to cause trouble, then let the two groups of people fight each other.

These gangsters say they are loyal, but in fact they are the least loyal.

Greed, selfishness and cunning are commonplace.

Unkind and unrighteous!

The entire society in Hong Kong City is full of unkindness and injustice.

The economic boom is the result of your own hard work.

When the economy is in bad shape, the responsibility is shifted to the mainland.

Li Ming was very disdainful of this.

For the economy, the role of the Dongjiang water diversion project alone is immeasurable, and Xinjia Po knows this very well.

After securing the money to buy a house, he didn't know what to do for a while and stood beside the street.

Trams jingled, cars buzzed, and occasionally there were rickshaws.

Women compete for beauty, with wavy hair permed, swaying on the streets, which is also a style.

There are only a few people in Hong Kong who claim to be Hong Kong Islanders at this time. Most of them refer to their hometowns, such as Chaozhou people, Dongguan people, Shunde people, etc.

There is a need to stay together for warmth, coupled with the limited level of governance, there is a sufficient foundation for gangs to run rampant.

Li Ming was thinking about what he should do in Hong Kong Island in the future.

Bring the equipment and raw materials back to the capital, and after production and processing, sell some on Hong Kong Island to recoup the cost, and the rest can be provided to the mainland to improve life.

The production of ham sausages that he had previously planned could be started. He placed an order for fish sausage equipment from a Japanese manufacturer in the port city, and there was no problem.

Canneries and the like can make a lot of profits to make up for the capital hole caused by purchasing machinery and equipment.

Set up a trading company in Central, Hong Kong Island, and set up a factory in Yuen Long or Tuen Mun in the New Territories.

The two places are far apart, and it is difficult for people in the same company to know his detailed accounts.

Lou Xiao'e must be in charge of finance.

After much thought, Li Ming felt that he should first hire a 'solicitor'.

Compared with the civil law system, the maritime law system is more troublesome, and ordinary people simply cannot figure out the examples in case law.

If you don’t hire a lawyer, you won’t know how you fell into the trap.

He always acted as soon as he thought of it. He first spent money to buy a dark suit, and then took a taxi to the lawyer's office.

"Lawyer Liang, I need you to help me review a house purchase contract in the next two days."

"Then there are the troubles of setting up a company, renting an office, renting a factory, or purchasing land to build a factory."

Lawyer Liang was very capable, "Mr. Li, please rest assured. 80% of our law firm's income comes from real estate-related business."

"I have seven years of experience in practicing the things you mentioned, so I can definitely handle them for you."

Li Ming smiled and said, "It seems that I have found the right person. I hope we can cooperate happily."

"Pleasant to work with."

The law firm arranged for him a relatively young lawyer, and he didn't mind it either.

For such a mature business, if you find a famous lawyer, they will also arrange it for a trainee lawyer in a law firm, which is not as good as his current treatment.

When the business volume increases and the business becomes more complex in the future, lawyers with stronger professional capabilities will naturally join.

After talking about the matter, Li Ming left directly.

A lawyer's time is extremely expensive, so he'd better leave early.

I found a small shop with many families and ordered a barbecue. It tasted pretty good.

While he was eating, he listened to the chatter of others. Unfortunately, most of the customers spoke "vernacular", speaking fast and with an accent.

He won't come to this kind of shop in the future. He didn't understand much and concentrated on eating and thinking about his own things.

If the agent Huang Fuyi didn't come to introduce the house in the afternoon.

He will find several more agents to cast a wider net and try to buy a suitable house within three or four days.

I also need to purchase some local products for business trip back to the capital.

After wandering around for a long time, he didn't see anything suitable to take back.

There are countless places to eat, drink and have fun.

The pink stalls, flower stalls, and horse stalls are all clearly displayed.

Ding dong ding dong doorbell.

Li Ming opened the thick door.

Broker Huang Fuyi said politely: "Mr. Li, good afternoon."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Huang. Please come in quickly."

Huang Fuyi didn't talk nonsense.

"I went back and checked carefully. There are 6 properties on Jordan Road, Nathan Road, and Gascoigne Road that are more suitable for you."

"How's the house going?"

Huang Fuyi handed over two pieces of materials.

"This one on Jordan Road is the closest, about 900 feet away. It faces the street on the second floor. It has convenient transportation and is relatively cheap."

"There is one on Nathan Road on the 6th floor, 1200 square feet. This one has a larger area and a higher price."

Li Ming watched and listened, then interjected and asked: "Is there an elevator?"

"Yes, they are all western-style buildings with elevators. I didn't prepare information about those tenement buildings."

"As long as there is an elevator. Let's look at each one from near to far. I will buy a house that I like in the afternoon."

Huang Fuyi smiled and said: "Then you wait in the hotel for a moment, I will contact the landlord first."
