Chapter 179: return home
There is no dedicated pier in Chek Lap Kok, and yachts can only dock at Tung Chung pier on the opposite Lantau Island. [For more exciting novels, please visit] There is a ferry to Tuen Mun in the New Territories every morning, noon and evening. Fishermen who want to go to the urban area can take a ferry or bus in Tuen Mun.
Li Haichuan mentioned that the seventh uncle who had called the Li family had already been waiting for them at Tung Chung Pier. Seventh Uncle Xuemo is in his 60s or 70s. Under the erosion of the sea breeze and the sun, his skin has long become dark and rough. But his body is still very tough, his voice is loud, and his feet are flying fast.
The seventh uncle's surname is Liu, and he is the seventh in the family. He is not of the same clan as the Li family, but he is one of the oldest seniors in Chek Lap Kok Village.
"You're Xuan Zai, you've grown so big in a blink of an eye!" Seventh Uncle's somewhat cloudy eyes flashed a ray of light, staring at Li Xuan kindly and asked.
"Seventh Uncle, I am Xuan Zai. I went to your house to eat fried fish when I was a child!" Li Xuan nodded and smiled kindly.
"The fishing boats in the village go out to the sea all year round to fish, and the smell is a bit heavy. You city people may not be used to it!" Seventh Uncle took the lead and jumped on the fishing boat, which was obviously just cleaned up.
Li Xuan and the elder brother carefully helped the younger sister and mother to get on the boat. Although Li Haichuan has been ashore for many years, he is very skilled in every move, giving people a feeling of being like a duck in water.
"Achuan, it seems that you haven't lost all your fishing skills!"
Uncle Seven looked at Li Haichuan's free movement and couldn't help sighing. The other people on the fishing boat were a bit cautious, and they looked at Li Xuan and his party with a little more awe, especially when their eyes swept over the two accompanying bodyguards beside him. On the contrary, the seventh uncle's face was as usual, very calm.
Chek Lap Kok Fishing Village is not far from Tung Chung Pier. It can be seen across the sea, and the fishing boats arrived at the typhoon shelter of the fishing village after a few minutes of driving. The fishing village is not big. There are only a few dozen families, and most of the houses are built in twos and threes on the sloping land by the sea. There is no detailed planning, and it looks a bit messy. Most of them are brick houses, but there are also a few dilapidated wooden houses.
Most of the villagers, young and old, who did not go out to sea, came to the beach to greet him. Li Haichuan recognized several of his peers as soon as he got off the boat. Compared to their wrinkled skin like old tree bark blown by the sea breeze, Li Haichuan's slightly rich figure stood with them and looked at least a dozen years younger.
Haichuan, Achuan, and Brother Chuan have various titles, but everyone showed their greatest enthusiasm for Li Haichuan.
This is your Uncle Erhu! This is the fifth grandma!
Li Haichuan kept introducing everyone in the village like his three children. Li Xuan and his elder brother and younger sister greeted each other politely. Everyone present was flattered. The people who humbly call them Uncle and Granny are the rich young man "Little Li Sheng". Li Xuan didn't have a hint of arrogance, his performance naturally earned his father enough face, and the initial nervousness and restraint in everyone's heart gradually eased.
Shortly after the Li family docked, a boat followed. There were two assistants of Li Xuan and gifts prepared by the Li family for the friends and neighbors of the fishing village. It's some chicken, duck, pork and seasonal fruits, which are affordable items that can instantly improve meals for the villagers.
Life in the fishing village of Chek Lap Kok, far from the bustling city of Hong Kong, is by no means rich. Over the years, many families have been like the Li family. He did not want to continue to seek a living at sea, but went to the urban area. There are fewer than 100 residents left in the fishing village.
Looking at the somewhat dilapidated fishing village, Li Haichuan sighed. Naturally, he would never forget the hardships of going fishing. But how easy is it to go to work in the city! He couldn't help but glanced at the young son who was following him. If it wasn't for Li Xuan's birth, the Li family would still be living in the public housing estate in Sau Mau Ping!
"Brother. This is where we used to live when we were kids? I don't seem to have any impressions!" Li Ying seemed to have been trying to recall her childhood impressions, but finally shook her head and gave up.
Li Xuan is not the deity of this body. Although there are some memories left in my mind, I don't have much feeling for where I lived in my childhood. Li Haichuan's family was surrounded by everyone like stars. Soon he came to a mud brick house that had collapsed in half.
"You liked to climb here wearing open-crotch pants when you were a child!" Li Xuan casually pointed to the door of his old house, leaned into the little sister's ear, and said softly to tease her.
"You talk nonsense, how can I!" Li Yingqiao blushed slightly and glared at his brother.
Li Haichuan has now lived in a mansion on the top of Taiping Mountain. There is nothing to cherish in this broken house. If it falls, it will fall. He sighed a few words and didn't take it to heart. Li Xuan's family was welcomed by Uncle Seven to their house to rest for a while.
"Achuan, you have also seen that life is generally difficult for everyone in the village. You have also fished in the sea before, and these small boats in our fishing village can only dangle near the sea!" Seventh Uncle finally spoke, Li Xuan knew that today's meat Here comes the play.
"Haha!" Li Haichuan also came out, and the seventh uncle called him, not just asking him to come back and take a look at his old collapsed house.
Seeing that Li Haichuan didn't follow him to answer, Uncle Seven was a little embarrassed, but he still said bravely: "Now the offshore fish catches are getting less and less, and the oil price and the maintenance cost of fishing boats have been rising, so it will continue to be like this. No way! Recently, someone is organizing an ocean-going fleet to go fishing for squid and saury in the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean!"
"Seventh Uncle, how much does it cost to invest in an ocean-going fishing boat?" Li Xuan asked suddenly.
A look of joy flashed on Uncle Seven's face, and he immediately explained in detail: "Ocean-going fishing boats go out to sea for a longer period of time, and they can catch more fish, so the tonnage of the fishing boat is also larger. And in order to preserve fresh fish, Ice-making equipment will also be purchased on board, and a thousand-ton ocean-going fishing boat will cost several million yuan!"
Li Xuan couldn't help squinting his eyes. They really thought they were good-fortune boys, and they cost millions in one mouth. But he did not show any dissatisfaction, but said very proudly: "So, Seventh Uncle, if everyone intends to raise funds to buy ocean-going fishing boats, although my family has moved away for more than ten years, they are still a part of Chek Lap Kok after all. , I invested 500,000 shares on behalf of my father!"
Seventh Uncle opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a while, he finally didn't say anything.
On the other hand, his son opened his mouth impatiently and said: "Little Li Sheng, how could we spend millions of dollars to buy a new boat, why not..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Xuan interrupted him: "If you can't afford a new boat, you can buy an old boat. If you are poor, you want to change. As long as everyone has the determination to make changes, everyone can always come up with a solution! Uncle Seven, how much does it cost to buy a second-hand ocean-going ship?"
"If the old boat is older, it will only cost about a million!" Seventh Uncle's son couldn't wait to rush to say, "This amount of money is only a drizzle compared to the net worth of 'Little Lisheng'!"
Li Xuan glanced at him and saw the humble smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little more displeased, and this was too naked.
"Seven uncles, one million can buy an old fishing boat, and my father invested 500,000! For the remaining 500,000, there are about 30 families in the village. If everyone can work together, each household will only need It’s only 20,000 to 30,000 yuan! As long as everyone has a heart, I think they will definitely be able to come up with it!
God help the self-helpers! I can make another promise for my father. If the village is really going to raise funds to buy ocean-going fishing boats, my father will get 500,000 shares in dividends, and my family will use it to help the orphans and widows in the village! "Li Xuan looked at Uncle Seven and said in a sonorous and powerful tone.
After Li Xuan finished speaking, seemingly inadvertently turned his head and gave his little sister a wink.
Li Ying immediately understood his intention and pulled at the corner of his mother's clothes: "Mom, didn't you say you are going to the Tianhou Temple to offer incense? Dad and the others are talking here, let's go to incense together!"
"Let's go, I'll go too, Dad is the head of the family, just stay and discuss with Uncle Seven!" Li Xuan immediately stood up and said with a smile.
Li Haichuan continued to stay in the Seventh Uncle's house, but he was not a fool. From his son's words just now, he already understood the bottom line he should control. The Li family only contributes 500,000 yuan, and there is nothing more. If you want to buy a boat, you can find a way for the remaining funds. Moreover, the money of the Li family is not taken for nothing, and dividends are collected from the account every year according to the rules. But Li Xuan will not spend his own money, but will use it to buy a good reputation.
The Tin Hau Temple in Chek Lap Kok was built on a small **** by the sea. It was built entirely of granite feldspar slabs. It is said that it was built by miners who were mining quarries on Chek Lap Kok Island at that time. Later, during Chinese New Year and festivals, fishermen from Chek Lap Kok Village and Lantau Island would come here to worship and pray for safety.
Li Xuan's mother specially prepared a little pig's head, whole grains and various fruits, arranged them in three tribute baskets, and solemnly lit incense, and called two sons and a daughter to thank the Queen of Heaven with her.
When Li Xuan and the others came back from the Tianhou Temple after offering incense, the Seventh Uncle's family had already gathered a lot of villagers. At first, the plan of several people in the village was to persuade Li Xuan, who has billions of dollars in his family wealth, to buy an ocean-going fishing boat~www.readwn.com~ and lease it to the people in the village for use.
With the wealth of the Li family, if you want to make a good reputation, you are naturally embarrassed to charge everyone too high a charter fee. This is equivalent to a no-cost deal for the villagers.
But Li Xuan's money didn't come from strong winds either. He and these people in the village were not related to each other. Before they could express the meaning, they blocked the conversation in advance.
But Li Xuan is not really invincible. As he said before, God saves the self-helpers! If the people in Chek Lap Kok Village can really make a hearty investment of hundreds of thousands to bet on ocean fishing, it is not impossible for Li Xuan to throw 500,000 to help them!
Li Xuan looked at everyone's compliments, humbly ingratiating himself with his father, and the confidence and satisfaction his father revealed unintentionally, which made him suddenly think of a sentence: rich and noble do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night! (To be continued..)
ps: Alas, today I got a few book friends out of the book group, which made Skye very uncomfortable. It was because I didn’t write well, but I have tried my best. Thank you for your support along the way!
