Era: I have a two-world door

Chapter 299: Time to do something serious
Wang Qingsong watched Li Sichen finish communicating with the person, and then started asking questions after the person left.

"how is everything?"

After watching the people leave, Li Sichen said, "Well, I asked, this house has just been delivered, and the pre-sale units were sold out last year. If you want to buy it now, you can only buy from someone else."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong looked up.

This is the entrance of a single-family house about five or six meters wide, with the main door on the side of the street.

The height is 18 floors.

It's considered a relatively high floor in this area.

The exterior is marble veneer.

"How did you sell this?"

"They said it was cheap when it was first launched last year, only $110, but now it's $160 per square foot. The houses are quite big, about 400 to 500 square feet."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong nodded slightly.

I checked before and found out what plan Hong Kong Island came up with in 60.

The property market in Hong Kong Island was booming until 65. In the next three years, more than a thousand new buildings were built in Hong Kong Island.

After 65 years, housing prices will collapse.

Only one-third of the highest housing price at that time remained, which was only about 60 to 71 square feet.

Now is not the highest price!
Four or five hundred square feet, which is about forty square meters.

There is no public area here, but it is not too small.

The room where he and his younger sister lived in Old Beijing was only a dozen square meters.

But for him now, it still feels too small.

Looking at Hennessy Road, one of the most prosperous streets in the future, I decided to buy one first. I will live in it anyway and have no plans to sell it for the time being.

I guess as long as I'm not short of money, I won't sell it.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the road.

Wang Qingsong looked around, rubbed his head, and thought about it.

He might come here often in the future.

Then he needs to buy a house here and in Kowloon to live in, because there is no traffic connection between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.

It is not very convenient to travel between the two sides.

This is the house.

Next is the warehouse.

It is very inconvenient not to have a warehouse of your own, and it is necessary whether you rent or buy it.

Next, it is very important to choose what kind of things to sell here.

He can definitely bring high-end products here.

The problem is that if it is too high-end, it will attract some people's attention, and then there will be big trouble.

After all, technology is very important in any era.

Even if he could bring high-end products like cars from the other side.

The problem is the price.

The cars here only cost around 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and there are obviously a lot of cars in Central.

But this is mostly because the place is small.

There are only so many cars in total.

Then the best choice is food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Hong Kong Island’s textile industry is unprecedentedly developed. Clothes are a good choice, and food is also a good choice.

Of course, there are also various handicrafts and the like.

These are not so eye-catching.

Develop this side slowly, and deal with the future things slowly. You can’t eat a fat man in one bite.

Thinking of this, he looked at Li Sichen and said with a smile, "Let's go and ask which one is suitable and buy one."

Because there were a lot of red wedding notices posted at the entrance of the building.

Most of them are houses for rent, and some are marked as for sale.

As for those who rent out, needless to say, there are many landlords who are not short of money who buy houses and then rent them out to other people.

Some people just speculate on pre-sale properties.

Sell ​​it when it’s almost done and move on to other profitable business.

"Do you really want to buy it?"

“Buy it!”

After that, he walked towards the house.

There was an elevator inside, and people were already going in and out.

"8th floor! This is fine! 450 square feet."

Wang Qingsong muttered to himself as he looked at the floor number on the good news.

There is also contact information above.

Just no price.

I came to the elevator and took it to the eighth floor.

Two households on the first floor.

It's relatively quiet.

There is a metal door at the entrance.

Li Sicheng naturally went to knock on the door.

But after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door, so there must be no one there.

"Let's go down and call him."

Looking at the contact number above, he said something to Li Sichen.

The three of them went downstairs again.

Back at the newsstand, Li Sichen took the money and went to make a phone call.

He had never used it, but after some communication, the old man selling newspapers helped him dial the number, and after the call was connected, he handed it to Li Sichen.

Wang Qingsong was also there, answering Li Sichen's questions from time to time.

After a while, when the call was over, Li Sichen said, "I'll be right there."

Wang Qingsong nodded, gave the money, and waited there quietly.

It was almost noon time.

However, the three of them had eaten something across the street before, so they were not hungry now.

While waiting, Wang Qingsong read the contents of the newspaper.

He frowned, picked up the newspaper and motioned Li Sichen to give the money.

Then I started watching there.

Ming Pao.

On the front page was written: Urgent! Help!

There was a big headline with the words: Please organize a rescue team to Wutong Mountain immediately.

The specific details are written below.

That is the side of Wutong Mountain. Many people died on Wutong Mountain after crossing the sea.

So Ming Pao launched a rescue operation.

There is another title next to it: At the foot of Wutong Mountain, a cruel scene.

Here’s another article about this.

Li Sichen gave the money, came to take a look, and sighed; "If it weren't for you, I guess my sister and I might have been among them."

What is written above can be described as corpses everywhere.

Wang Qingsong looked at it for a while and then stopped.

It looked uncomfortable.

After all, they are all our compatriots.

I thought if I could, I would help.

Then he turned his attention to the content below.

More than ten minutes later, a car stopped on the side of the street and a middle-aged man in a gray and white Tang suit got out of the car.

The other party spotted the three people standing at the newsstand and walked over.

"You guys want to buy a house?"

Looks awesome.

Li Sichen nodded and communicated with the other party.

After listening to this, the other party looked up and down at the three people, looking at them with sidelong eyes.

Finally, he nodded and agreed, then led the way upstairs.

In the meantime, the other party kept talking there.

It's on the 8th floor and it's a big house. He kept saying how good the house is and how he couldn't bear to sell it.

Li Sichen naturally translated it.

When we got to the eighth floor, the other party took the key and opened the door.

The place is very small.

There is a living room that can barely fit a table, two bedrooms, a kitchen and a bathroom.

None are very big.

But there is a balcony, which is very small, about the size of a desk, and very long and narrow.

Water and electricity are already available.

But there is no water supply now, and the water will be back between 4pm and 8pm.

The floor inside is all cement.

Wang Qingsong took a look and felt that it was similar to Zhou Ying's house, but slightly smaller.

If my younger sister and I had a house like this in New Taipei City, it would be quite comfortable to live in.

The man was still bragging about his house.

Wang Qingsong asked Li Sichen to try bargaining.

In the end, it didn't drop at all.

Seeing that bargaining was not working, Wang Qingsong agreed, because the real estate boom in Hong Kong Island is on the rise.

A price reduction is unlikely.

Finally I agreed directly.

After the decision is made, the transaction is agreed upon.

First go to the law firm to sign the contract and pay the deposit, and then go to the Housing Office tomorrow to transfer the ownership and pay taxes.

Total: 7.

Wang Qingsong calculated that he had 3 in his hands. If tomorrow's pork and egg transactions were still carried out according to yesterday's, that would be 7, which was still a little short.

If I sell all the 20,000 kilograms of pork and eggs I have, that would be more than enough.

I wonder if the lighter will ask for a little more.

Even if it is not enough, he is not afraid, because he has plenty of ways to make money.

Thinking of this, the three of them went to the law firm to sign the contract.

The other party had a car and could take them there.

That rascal.

When driving, it gives people a particularly cool feeling.

Wang Qingsong took a look and it seemed... this car was not that good!

But of course he wouldn't say that.

He went to the law firm, gave a deposit of 2,000 yuan, signed a contract, discussed something, and then he got the key to the house.

Because Li Sichen and his friend have no place to live!

However, we need to find someone to fix the water and electricity in the house before we can live in it.

They agreed to go to the Housing Department to handle the formalities tomorrow. The landlord brought them to the house and left.

Wang Qingsong looked at Li Sichen and said, "I'll find someone to fix the water and electricity later. You guys can live in this house first. You can find someone to buy a bed and other things. I think there are some old ones here. I'll lend you the money."

"This……"

Li Sichen smiled bitterly: "Ah Xuan, this house is too big, and I can't afford the rent! Besides, I don't know what you want me to do!"

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't harm you, nor will I let you do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."

He still has this bottom line.

Then he smiled and said, "As for the rent... let's talk about it later. After a while, when we have discussed it, if you are willing to help me with things, you can live in this house and you don't have to pay the rent. You just need to help me look after the house.

If you don't want to, that's fine. I'll rent the house to someone else and you can live there too. I'll charge you a lower rent. Is that okay?"

After listening to this, Li Sichen fell silent.

Anyone with a normal mind would agree to this kind of good thing.

Is there such a good thing in the world?

However, thinking of the other party's previous help to his brothers and sisters, he finally nodded.

If it were someone else, he really wouldn't dare to believe it.

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "That's right! Let's go and find someone to fix the water and electricity first so that we can sleep tonight. We can take our time with the rest and just make do with it."

Hearing this, Li Sichen felt guilty.

Finally, he said, "Actually... I brought some money with me this time. A few dozen yuan. This is the living expenses my uncle gave me. I thought it would be useless to pay you back, so I didn't tell you about it."

Wang Qingsong didn't say anything when he heard this.

If you really want to find a job and a place to live, it doesn't matter if you don't have any money.

But he still asked, "The rent over there isn't cheap! What will you do if you can't find a place to rent?"

The rent in Kowloon across the street seems to be dozens of dollars a month.

"If you can't find it, let my sister go back and I'll go to Kowloon Walled City."

When he heard about Kowloon Walled City, he frowned.

He checked that place.

It's not a good place.

It’s messy. Very messy.

It's a lawless place, full of filth and dirt, and the sanitary conditions are particularly poor.

But there is one advantage, that is, as long as there is a vacant house there, you can live there, or you can rent a house there at a very cheap price.

In the past, those who could not come to Hong Kong Island or register for household registration went there.

The population density is one of the highest in the world.

He shook his head and said with a smile, "You don't have to go over there now. Just go and do your thing and buy what you need to buy. It won't waste time. I have something to do in Yau Ma Tei later."

But don't be too anxious, the ferry stops at 11pm.

After the few people separated, Wang Qingsong walked around for a long time before he found a suitable place to put the bicycle out.

I rode my bike around the neighborhood.

There is a huge difference between walking and cycling. Central is not very big to begin with.

Lots of people.

It's too much.

Whether you are walking on the main road or between buildings, as long as there are shops below, there are basically people there.

This made him decide to build a warehouse here.

Otherwise it’s really inconvenient.

As the bike rode towards the mountains.

Houses are being built everywhere here, but in addition to tenement buildings, there are also many single-family houses with yards.

Closer to the mountains, you will see densely packed wooden houses built on the hillside.

No more passing.

Came back and took a walk.

"what!"

Wang Qingsong looked at an ancient street and walked in curiously.

Morrow hits the streets.

Antique Street?
Because at this time many shops display some antiques.

It does look a bit like Panji Garden over there.

There are many large and small ornaments on the stalls extending out the door, including porcelain, bronzes, Buddha heads... There are quite a lot of things to choose from.

He had checked before coming here and found out that there was a Hollywood Street here that specialized in antique business.

It is considered as a distribution center of handicrafts in Hong Kong Island.

Antique dealers from all over the world basically buy antiques here.

Before and after the liberation, many people brought gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and paintings from the mainland and sold them in this area.

It seems that it was the Eight-Nation Alliance that first started selling various things looted from the mainland in this place.

It can even be traced back to the Qing Dynasty.

Slowly evolved.

It is also from here that too many national treasures have flowed out and been placed in museums in Western countries, never able to return to their own countries in their lifetime.

I looked around and saw a Hollywood sign not far away, so I knew it was nearby.

I can now charge the Bagua mirror.

Originally, he was planning to finish the house matters tomorrow and ask Li Sichen to bring him over to see it.

I didn't expect that I would wander here first.

When I came to a shop, I saw a middle-aged man in his fifties wearing a Tang suit sitting there sorting out a box containing various bottles and jars.

He doesn't really care about the people who are looking at the products in the store, after all, there are only a few who can buy them.

There are a lot of people on the street.

Many of them come here to travel and have fun.

There were many snack shops on the street. With a try-it attitude, he touched the antiques at the door.

It's basically true.

But the energy is not enough.

Then he entered the store.

There are quite a few things placed on the maroon display cabinet, none of them are covered with glass, just left out in the open.

However, some of them are covered with glass cabinets.

Some can also be seen through the glass counter.

After entering, he lit it up.

It is better than those outside and the quality is pretty good. Many of them are similar to the ordinary products from Rongbaozhai.

That is to say, it is on the same level as the things sold in my antique shop.

At least one third of them are like this.

After searching around, I found two things with lots of energy.

A bronze Buddha head, the thing on it looked a bit creepy.

There is also a small colorful bowl.

"Uncle, how much is this?"

Wang Qingsong held the thing and asked the old man.

Buy some first, and let Li Sichen come over to buy the rest. There should be a lot here anyway.

The old man looked at him, pointed at the small bowl and said something, then pointed at the Buddha head and said something.

Wang Qingsong didn't understand.

After communicating for a while, I finally understood.

The small bowl is 28 yuan.

The copper Buddha head is 120 yuan.

Wang Qingsong muttered, "Is the gap so big?"
But it’s not surprising when you think about it.

In fact, many things here are exported to other countries.

Buddha statues are very popular in Asia. Similarly, people in Hong Kong are also very superstitious and prefer Buddha heads.

What's more, the price of copper is not cheap now.

I weighed this Buddha head and found it is not light. It is only 40 centimeters high, but weighs about 10 to 20 kilograms.

It's just too broken, and the gap on the top of the Buddha's head is a little black.

There is still a hint of patina on the head.

Without thinking, I just paid the money.

The other party gave me two brocade boxes to put the things in, then left with them.

After coming out, I drove along the streets, looked at the brocade box in my hand, and finally found a place selling woven baskets nearby.

Bought a backpack with a lid.

He walked around inside carrying a backpack.

He put all the things he bought in the backpack, but in fact he had already quietly put them into the space.

Along the way, he really found a lot of good things.

When Wang Qingsong came to a store, he was surprised.

Because here, just like Rongbaozhai in the mainland, things are arranged very neatly, and there are not as many things as in previous shops.

It’s not that messy.

There is no table at the door like in other houses with a bunch of things on it.

The boss was an old man in a gray coat, who was looking at something in his hand with a magnifying glass.

Wang Qingsong took something and looked at it.

The stuff is pretty much the same as other places.

But after a while he realized something was wrong.

The ones in other houses are all placed randomly.

The things he took from the shelf at the door to the inside, the energy increased step by step.

There are five antique display shelves in total.

When it came to the last display cabinet, the top was blocked by glass.

Wang Qingsong asked the old man: "Uncle, can I take a look at this?"

His original intention was to let the other party know what he meant.

Not understanding what you said.

The old man looked up at him in surprise.

He just nodded: "You can look at it, but that's not for sale!"

Wang Qingsong was surprised because the other party spoke Mandarin, and not Mandarin with the Guangzhou accent.

It sounds like the south.

However, it is not surprising when you think about the fact that many people from the mainland came here during the Anti-Japanese War, including before and after the liberation.

He looked towards the antique shelf.

I wondered for a moment why it wasn't for sale, but I opened it anyway to see what good stuff was inside.

There are twelve grids, and I touched each one.

But he picked one of them up and looked at it curiously.

He frowned.

There is something wrong with this thing.

There is energy, but it is very weak. According to the standards of the cultural relics shop, this should be something from the Republic of China.

I don’t know if the boss didn’t understand it or put it here on purpose.

Put the things back silently.

Since it's not for sale, there's no need for him to stay.

Just as he was about to leave, the old man suddenly asked, "Young man, do you want that thing?"

Wang Qingsong looked back, smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm just taking a look~ Are you really not selling it?"

That antique display cabinet is full of good things.

The old man shook his head and said, "No, if you have it, I can buy it at a high price. It's 10% higher than the market price."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong smiled; "No~"

After saying that, he walked away without saying anything else.

Looking at Wang Qingsong's leaving back, the old man looked thoughtful.

He knew that there was something wrong with the pen washer just now.

There must be a reason for putting it there.

I didn't expect that a young man would actually shake his head while holding that thing. Although the movement was very light, he could still see it.

Looking at Wang Qingsong who had disappeared at the door, he withdrew his thoughts and continued to look at the things in his hand.

……

After Wang Qingsong left, he saw that it was already getting late, so he prepared to leave.

This was the second street he had walked on.

Moro Lower Street, I was walking on Upper Street before.

As for Hollywood Street, we haven't been there yet and it's already late.

Then headed towards the pier.

There are a lot of pedestrians on the road at this time, it should be time to get off work.

I don't know the road, but just go north.

After walking for a while, crossing several streets, we arrived at the river.

At a glance, I saw the pier where I had been before.

Because there are warships parked there.

There were many fishing boats on the shore, and there were people selling fish on the roadside, with some half-dead fish soaking in buckets.

There is also a very long street here. Many small vendors set up long tables along the street with many clothes on them for people to choose from.

The street is very long and most of the shops are selling clothes.

Wang Qingsong looked at him curiously.

The prices are basically around a dozen yuan each.

It doesn’t seem cheap either!
I feel like there is still room for improvement in clothes.

What he wants is a long-term profit, not a one-time deal.

"Huh~"

Suddenly, a passerby lit a cigarette, but it was not the smoke that attracted him.

But the other party is very embarrassed.

It was his red lighter that he took out.

This action attracted the attention of other men and even the smoking woman, who came forward to ask questions.

During the conversation, I could clearly see the other party making a 5 gesture, which should be 5 Hong Kong dollars.

By the way, point to the ferry location.

I even saw someone shaking his head in the middle.

Wang Qingsong looked at it curiously.

My god, I make more money than him.

But think about it, they have their own channels, and even if you ask yourself to sell it, there is no way to sell it in a short time.

The other party should also be allowed to make money.

Otherwise where is the motivation!

There was no place to park the car, so he could only push it forward.

Anyway, bicycles can also cross the crossing, but there is a fee.

It was probably the time to get off work, and the ferry was packed with people. There were a lot of people everywhere.

Fortunately, the passenger ship had added more ships, and it was estimated that there were seven or eight ships transporting back and forth.

A boat can seat about a hundred people on two decks.

There are also many fishing boats nearby that help transport people and earn extra money.

Wang Qingsong saw people pushing carts and queuing like him, so he followed behind silently.

He waited for more than half an hour before it was his turn.

He pushed the cart, pretended to be dumb, took out ten dollars and let the other party make the change.

Followed the people to the opposite side.

By the time we reached the other side, it was already dusk.

After getting off the boat, I followed the crowd to the shore and walked out of the ferry.

He rode away on his bike.

He didn't know how to take the shortcut, so he could only go back to where he came from and ride his bike slowly along the main road towards Zhu Rourong's home.

It was already dusk when we arrived at the place.

I guess the whole family was having dinner in the house, and there was only a little girl watching over the shop.

Seeing him coming, the little girl ran in.

After a while, Zhu Rourong came out with a happy face and greeted him.

"Hey boy, come in quickly!"

Wang Qingsong walked in with a smile.

It's an orange-yellow light bulb similar to the ones in mainland China, but slightly brighter.

At this time, the family was eating around a table.

Seeing him coming, Axia's mother urged the child to go to the side.

Wang Qingsong smiled and said, "You guys eat. If that's the case, I'll leave first. I'll come back after you finish your meal."

These words were naturally spoken to Axia, who was also holding a bowl of rice.

After translating, he looked at Zhu Rourong.

Seeing this, Zhu Rourong thought about it and decided not to force him, and let his wife and her family eat there.

Ask Wang Qingsong if he has eaten.

Then he asked his daughter to make a cup of tea.

Wang Qingsong naturally said that he had already eaten. He felt a little embarrassed for always eating here, but he didn't want to make it too late.

Zhu Rourong didn't eat either.

Axia quickly put down her bowl and chopsticks and followed.

"Dad asks you, can you get more with that lighter?"

Wang Qingsong looked at Axia and smiled, "All sold out? So fast?"

"Yes, they are sold out. My uncle delivered the goods to the grocery store and they were sold out in the afternoon."

After hearing this, Wang Qingsong could understand.

One thousand pieces sounds like a lot, but a box of fifty pieces only means twenty boxes.

This inexpensive new thing sells out quickly.

No wonder.

Or they have more routes.

Then he said, "There are 1 of them, and kilograms of eggs and meat. Can you eat them all? If you can, I'll have someone bring them over later. Of course, there's more to come."

Hearing the translation, Zhu Rourong agreed with a smile.

But there was a hint of disappointment in the middle of the sentence.

Wang Qingsong didn't understand what it meant.

Looked at Axia.

And Axia's face was already flushed.

I explained awkwardly: "Well... Dad said it's okay, but there are too many things this time, so we may need to bring more people. Don't worry about it then. As long as everyone follows the rules, everyone can make money."

Hearing this, Wang Qingsong hesitated for a moment.

Can't understand.

But he can make expressions!
This guy wouldn't rob his fellow thieves, would he?
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Are you sure you only want to say this? Does your father have other intentions?"

This made Axia blink her eyes, with a cute expression on her face: "You... understand?"

"Don't you understand? Otherwise, why would I ask you to say it again~"

Hearing this, Axia seemed to be relieved and quickly shook her head: "No, it's really gone."

"Oh~~"

Wang Qingsong didn't have any extra thoughts.

Just when he was about to speak, Zhu Rourong asked his daughter with a smile.

Axia was embarrassed for a moment and started arguing with her father.

In the end, I didn't ask.

Wang Qingsong was puzzled.

When the two stopped arguing, he said, "Can you take so many lighters? Will you be unable to sell them?"

"You don't have to worry about that! Matches are used by every household, and they have been calculated. If it can really be played 60 times, that is equivalent to the price of boxes of matches. They can calculate this clearly."

Wang Qingsong understood.

No wonder they sell it so expensively, it’s totally worth it.

And it’s so cost-effective.

But he knew that the price was indeed a bit high. Nearly 20,000 lighters were enough to last them for a long time.

It depends on the acceptance.

Quick acceptance, quick selling.

"Okay, I'll go over first and deliver the stuff, and you can have someone move the stuff over, there's a lot of stuff."

The transaction amount this time is indeed large, close to 100,000.

After the deal was made, Wang Qingsong left the store again.

He rode his bike away from the spot.

Or return to the vicinity of the original factory.

He quietly put the eggs in, and when he was done, he drove to the old factory.

Axia didn't come this time.

The process went more smoothly than Wang Qingsong had expected, but the scenario of thieves robbing each other did not happen.

He was also afraid that something unexpected would happen and cause unpleasantness.

But what he didn't know was that if Zhu Rourong hadn't stopped him, something might really have happened.

One hundred thousand.

This is also a huge sum of money for Hong Kong Island.

……

After everything was done, Wang Qingsong received another 9 yuan.

This time, they were less concerned about the pork.

But I am more attracted to the lighter.

Only after leaving the factory and arriving at a safe place did Wang Qingsong breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he sat there quietly thinking.

Unfortunately, Zhu Rou Rong’s family only runs a grocery store that sells meat. If they were to do wholesale business, it would be too simple.

There are a lot fewer troubles.

Looking at the money that is already over 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in his hand.

In addition to buying a house, it's time to do something serious.
