The newsstand owner and his friend Lao Wang felt numb as they looked at the huge crowds of stockholders at the Far East Securities Exchange.
After he made arrangements for the newsstand, he rushed to the Far East Club immediately. Unexpectedly, they were still a step late. How could they squeeze in with so many people with their little arms and legs?
"Otherwise, let's go to the Gold and Silver Club. There are too many people here, and we can't squeeze in."
Lao Wang thought for a while and then said.
So the two of them left the sports meeting and walked towards the Gold and Silver Club. When they passed by the Kowloon Club, they saw the long queue. The crowd of people looked at the two people and gasped. This place is just a few meters away from the Gold and Silver Club.
It was a hundred meters away, but they could no longer walk through it and were blocked.
"Oh my god, these people wouldn't have come here early in the morning, right? Stock trading over the phone is becoming increasingly unreliable, and the phone lines are always busy."
Lao Wang said depressedly.
"I can't help it. With so many people calling every day, the line must be busy! Stock trading on the phone is not only a waste of time, but stock trading involves telling the broker the stocks and quantities to be purchased. The broker is extremely busy."
said the newsstand owner.
"After the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel is opened to traffic, there will be more people on Queen's Road. It is really not easy to trade in stocks.
Later, we went to the crowd for fun. Hundreds of agents were shouting at the square in Hung Hom Stadium, which attracted the passing citizens to inquire about house prices. When the citizens inquiring about house prices heard the quotes from the agents, they all left in silence.
Open, I couldn't help but shed tears of poverty.
The agent brother was very cold when he heard An Shihui's inquiry. The Heya area is full of low-end residences, and all the houses have an area of more than 1,600 square feet. They are proper luxury houses.
Kang Zhisheng said.
Old Liu sighed and said.
Li Xishen listened to Qiu Weijun's report and couldn't help but pinch his forehead and rub it again and again. I felt a headache. I never thought that before the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel was opened to traffic, Milk International's land in Causeway Bay became
Fragrant pastry.
"The Liang Xiangdi family made a small fortune? How did we make a small fortune? Have you ever heard of that company?"
Before An Shihui heard the quotation, he was already cursing his mother. The house Zhang Sheng bought in a distant place cost HKD 120,000. In just a few years, the house price there has appreciated by more than 10 times. It is simply not true.
That real estate miracle.
After the Seventh Super Little War, the economic strength of the British and Hong Kong Islands has ended its slow decline. John Bull has been completely suppressed by Liang Xiangdi in the fields of economy, military, technology, etc. John Bull's currency, the pound, has also followed the rise of John Bull.
The overall strength is constantly rising and falling, and the end is a slight depreciation.
However, last year, as Leung Cheung-tik disbanded the Bretton Woods system and the currency ended a slight devaluation, Hong Kong Island, as a trading port city, suffered a small impact because the Hong Kong dollar was pegged to the British pound.
.
Causeway Bay, Hysan Place.
Before peace, the former Causeway Bay had already developed. The mountainous land here was gradually leveled to build houses, and the rock and soil were used for reclamation. Leung Cheung-tee developed the land in the western part of Causeway Bay into what is now Lee Gardens, Lee Garden Hill Road, Lee Stage, Percival Street, En
Those in the Pingdao area are the properties of the Amili family."
An Shihui finally thought about his financial situation to see if he could get a set.
The pound exchange standard prevailed in John Bull's Hong Kong Island. John Bull implemented a "currency board" currency system in his colony, which was essentially used to weaken the John Bull government's economic and trade control over the colony.
Dairy Milk International also acquired shares from John Bull. The company's shareholders are so few that it makes one's head tingle and makes me cry just thinking about it.
"Excuse me, boss. The smallest house in Hang Lung Phase 8 is 1,100 square feet, and the price per square foot is HK$320. It is even one-eighth of the size of Causeway Bay. It is very convenient to get to the main island. It is definitely in The first choice for people after get off work in this island.”
An Shihui came to the back of Yimei Agency and asked. Dozens of people were queuing up behind each agency under Hysan Plaza to inquire. But it was my turn before I could wait for Gang Shaoda.
"He has only been in Hong Kong Island for a year or four. He is familiar with the old families in Hong Kong Island. Amelia Hong Kong Island is a well-established family with deep roots.
Among the self-occupied office buildings in Causeway Bay, Kennedy Road and Queen's Path, Hong Kong Island, the properties purchased by Amelia at that time were located on Percival Street, Island Street, Wan Chai Road, Tai Wo Road, Stone Nui Channel Street, Queen's Path East,
There are few industries such as Praya Street, Seventh Street and Chun Yuen Street.
In the Far East Club, countless stockholders were interacting with each other in the small hall on Hong Kong Island. The subsequent construction of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel on Hong Kong Island showed that the economy of Hong Kong Island was continuing to develop in a bad way, which was a small piece of good news for the stock market.
.
Lao Zhang asked.
When Lee Hysan left Dairy Milk International and came to the Chinese Bank he founded, he could only absorb shares in the seventh-level market through internal channels.
After December 1935, all major countries in the world implemented a gold standard currency system. However, Hong Kong Island's economy was too large to use a gold standard currency system and could only implement a silver standard currency system.
"No, no, no. Heya District is the lowest-end district in Causeway Bay. It is very close to the Lee Theater and the tram station. It is only 3 kilometers away from Central. The transportation is convenient and the supporting facilities are complete. It is definitely
The best place to buy a home.”
Let’s go to the Hong Kong Island Club and have a look. I heard that we can also communicate in Cantonese there?”
"We really made a small fortune in the Amelia family that time. It's a pity that Hysan Industrial has not been delisted, otherwise the stock would have dropped seven or eight times."
"They immediately arranged for people to mobilize funds to buy company stocks from the stock market. They wanted to control the price and buy as much as possible, and try to fish in the troubled waters of the stock market."
An Shihui heard that there was no house yet and immediately asked.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!...
Lao Zhang said enviously.
"As I said, the Amelia family is not a super small landowner in Causeway Bay. Now that the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel is open to traffic, we have directly become the smallest beneficiary of the opening."
"Super mansion on Nathan Road, eight minutes' walk to the Star Ferry Pier, two minutes' drive to the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel..."
Ameili engaged in the opium business outside Hong Kong Island in the next century. At that time, she made a lot of money on Hong Kong Island. In the 1970s, she ended up retreating into the real estate industry.
Zhang Zhonghua was also very emotional after receiving the news. The impact of my arrival is getting smaller and smaller. The butterfly... yes, it should be that the effect of the tornado is too weak. The current history is not very different in a big way, it is completely changed beyond recognition.
Is there any reference basis?
Before the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel was opened to traffic, the distance from Causeway Bay to Si Long Peninsula was much closer than Central. This directly led to the rise in housing prices in Causeway Bay. It has been rising since the completion of construction. Before it was officially opened to traffic, it directly
The response surged a bit.
"What is the layout of the buildings in Hang Lung Phase 8? How small are they? How much are the prices?"
The John Bull economy continued to decline before the war, and the fluctuations caused the pound to depreciate. This also directly led to the currencies of John Bull's colonies around the world to depreciate along with the pound. It cannot be said that John Bull's economy continued to decline.
The cattle slightly dragged the front legs of each colony.
Dozens of small and large agency companies have set up temporary office desks and chairs in Hysan Place. Many of them are asking passers-by coldly, and their attitude seems very cold.
On June 10, the Hong Kong government officially announced that the Hong Kong dollar would be decoupled from John Bull's pound and instead pegged to the pound. The new fixed exchange rate would be 5.45 Hong Kong dollars per dollar from that day, which was already June 10.
.
"Is this Amelia family the land kings of Causeway Bay?"
"1,100 Hong Kong dollars? Why is it so expensive?"
"Forget about the useful ones, which stock do you want to buy?"
On June 9, the trading volume of the Hong Kong Island stock market that day was as low as HK$340 million, and the Jade Emperor Index had not yet risen to 566 points. It was constantly setting new records for Hong Kong Island's trading volume.
"You would miss it if you were passing by. It is the building closest to Hung Hom Channel and the most convenient to the island. If you are slow, you will be quick!"
At the Hung Hom Stadium in Silong Peninsula, there are a small number of agency companies gathered outside, and the agency guys are constantly greeting passers-by.
In later generations, Tin Shui Wai was still a poor place until a few decades ago (for the actual area of Hong Kong Island), but now all the villagers in Tin Shui Wai are extremely wealthy. Under the leadership of our village chief, Tin Shui Wai has
Villagers also became the first batch of stock investors early and reaped the benefits of the skyrocketing stock market.
…
…
Central, Milk International.
"Let's buy Dairy Milk International, Amélie's Hong Kong Island Land King, Milk International is another Hong Kong Island Land King.
However, changes occurred before December 1935. The Hong Kong Island government implemented reforms to the currency system, and the Hong Kong Island administration system for the issuance of Hong Kong dollars was basically finalized. The Hong Kong dollar has been linked to John Bull's pound, forming the pound exchange standard. The earliest exchange rate was
1 pound can be exchanged for 16 Hong Kong dollars.
"Sir Zhou, the market value of your Dairy Milk International stock has stopped skyrocketing since the afternoon. The trading volume in the stock market is now extremely hot."
Lao Zhang said.
In later generations, the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel was opened to traffic on August 2. In that life, it was delayed to June 8. The delay was less than two months. The delay also pushed the Hong Kong stock market to a low ebb. The fire was cooking, and the flowers were blooming.
Before the seventh super mini-war, Zhou Xinianka was the smallest winner. The economy ended its rapid take-off, and products were exported to the world to maintain Daole's dominance.
The reason why currency reform was implemented in 1935 was also due to the fact that in the 1980s, Liang Xiangdi's economy in Hong Kong Island was in a minor depression, and the rise in silver prices in places such as Zhou Xinianka and other places caused a small outflow of silver from Hong Kong Island.
Lao Liu nodded and said.
Old Liu Younai sighed and said, "You are really far-sighted and your eyes are as bright as a torch."
"Increase your holdings? If you don't have too much, just increase your holdings! You have to be afraid of spending money! It's really not possible to sell stocks in the early stage of the operation."
The two of them came to the Far East Club again, and there were one or two thousand foreigners lining up at the door. They gave up and returned to Tsim Sha Tsui. With so few people waiting for their turn, the Hong Kong Island Club was about to close at noon.
In later generations, the Hong Kong government announced on July 6 that the Hong Kong dollar would be decoupled from the British pound and pegged to the pound. Initially, the exchange rate was 5.65 Hong Kong dollars for 1 pound. It had been a month since then, and the exchange rate had also differed by 0.2.
In this way, an economic and trade circle with the pound as its core has been formed, and the status of the pound can be imagined.
Li Xishen thought for a while and immediately gave the order.
From the end of November 1967, due to various factors, the Hong Kong Island Government had to change the exchange rate in order to win over the people of Hong Kong Island. From 1 pound to 16 Hong Kong dollars, 1 pound could not be exchanged to 14.55 Hong Kong dollars, causing the Hong Kong dollar to directly appreciate by 9%.
Old Liu said loudly.
"Chairman, your milk company's stock hasn't risen to 52 Hong Kong dollars yet, what do you think?"
On June 8, affected by the bad news about the opening of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel, the trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market that day was as low as HK$320 million, and the Jade Emperor Index had also risen to 562 points.
"What are the current property prices in Heya District? How much is the average price per square foot?"
"The price per square foot of Hong Kong Island in the Heya area is about HK$1,100, and a house costs about HK$1.6 million. You only have eight houses on your mobile phone now. If you are slow, you will not be able to get it."
Before the connection between Hong Kong Island and Silong Peninsula, it only promoted the economic development of Hong Kong Island and provided convenience to the citizens. It was also great news for the real estate industry.
Since the Hong Kong dollar was pegged to the pound in December 1935, it has always been at a fixed exchange rate of 1 pound to 16 Hong Kong dollars. In this way, John Bull has been continuously drawing Hong Kong Island's Lihui Fund.
That is a bad thing for others, but for me, it is simply not a matter of sitting at home, and disaster comes from all over the world. Although I am the chairman of Dairy Milk International, Dairy Milk International has been delisted for more than several decades. Internally,
The shareholding structure is very simple.
Hong Kong Island's local foreign exchange reserves have been affected by the Yuhuang Group. The overall foreign exchange reserves have decreased a lot. The delisting of Yuhuang Xingdao Newspaper has also pushed the Hong Kong dollar to be linked to the currency, causing the Hong Kong dollar to appreciate.
There are too few variables in the future.
TVB founder Li Xiaohe, Hong Kong Island Hang Seng Bank General Manager Li Guowei, we are all the successors of Liang Xiangdi.
"Chairman, how many shares do you want to increase your holdings?"
After leaving Hysan Place, An Shi drove all the way to Si Long Peninsula. The housing prices here on the island are really too expensive. If you really want to buy it, you should come to Si Long Peninsula to have a look. Anyway, the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel is very
It’s convenient and it takes a lot of time to get to the main island.
In 1945, before the establishment of the Bretton Woods system, the pound became the only currency linked to gold. The international status of the pound ended at a much slower pace. If John Bull hadn't supported the pound by many colonies, the pound's
The extent of depreciation will also be smaller.
…
The opening of the Hung Hom Cross-Harbour Tunnel directly promoted the stock and property markets to skyrocket again. A small number of Hong Kong Island citizens put aside their work and poured into various stock exchanges to end "making a small fortune"!
"Hong Kong Island Phase Garden is open for sale. It only takes eight minutes to reach the Hung Hom Cross Harbor Tunnel, which leads directly to Central."
"He's bad. Are there no buildings in Heya District next door?"
In the next century, Dairy Farm International built a small number of dairy farms and ice factories in Causeway Bay and Pok Fu Lam. When he thought about the size of the pastures, he realized that we did not have small pieces of land."
