"Buy now? In this situation, it's too risky to buy land or a house. Akui, you have to think clearly," Fei Bo said.
"yes."
More than a year has passed since the second martial arts competition between Chen Kui and Hong Gancheng, and the time has come to this special moment in 1949. October 1st is getting closer and closer.
After more than two years of development, the Huayao Company jointly founded by the three has now become the largest supplier of vegetables and fish to the British Army in Hong Kong. It has also ensured the daily food of more than 300,000 people in Hong Kong, and has also entered the processing industry and transportation. In the industry, the profit in the first quarter of 1949 has exceeded 4 million. According to this trend, the profit in a year will exceed 10 million, or even reach 15 million.
Of course, the most important thing for Huayao Company is not the amount of profit, but that through this huge chain of interests, it provides a large number of jobs and unites a large number of employees. Under the leadership of Hong Zhennan, it has become a company that the entire Hong Kong cannot ignore. a folk force.
On the other hand, due to military connections and money operations, Fei Bo's position was further advanced last year and became the police sergeant. Judging from the current situation, Fei Bo has achieved his ultimate goal in a short period of time. Because the positions at the top are currently held by ghost guys, and there are no Chinese faces.
Over the past year, Chen Kui's career has also developed greatly. Ming Pao, together with Wen Wei Po and Ta Kung Pao with official backgrounds, has become the three major newspapers in Hong Kong. Its local sales volume in Hong Kong has reached 50,000, and it has become the first real sales volume. A paid newspaper with a revenue exceeding RMB 100,000 is well-deserved to be No. 1 in terms of profitability and influence. Last year, Chen Kui also established Oriental Film and Television for his fiancée Yang Meng, and shot three movies with box office of more than RMB 80,000. One volume exceeded 100,000.
Today, Chen Kui proposed to buy a house and land and formally enter the real estate industry. Fei Bo and Hong Zhennan were surprised and subconsciously discouraged Chen Kui.
"Uncle Fatty, Third Uncle, do you believe my judgment?" Chen Kui asked directly without explaining anything.
"This..." Hearing this, Fei Bo and Hong Zhennan looked at each other.
Looking back on Chen Kui's various judgments before, although they were not many times, to be honest, he never missed a single call and was absolutely victorious in every battle.
From the earliest HSBC Bank's admission of "forced issuance of banknotes" to the bankruptcy of the "Muchi Yang Plan", from exchange rate controls to the issue of military transit, and even major international issues such as the Marshall Plan and the Cold War situation, Chen Kui's judgment has not come out fault.
No matter how unreliable the judgment itself sounds when making a judgment, the final facts prove that Chen Kui's judgment is correct. It is precisely based on these far-sighted judgments of general trends that ensures the rapid development of his career. develop.
But if the previous judgment was correct, can it guarantee that the future judgment will still be correct?
have no idea.
However, even the natural barrier of the Yangtze River and hundreds of thousands of well-prepared troops cannot stop the million-strong army crossing the river. Can these few guns in Hong Kong really be able to stop it?
The answer is obvious, they can't stop it at all. According to Hong Zhennan and Fei Bo's understanding of the British army, they probably surrendered directly without even fighting.
"Well, this time the situation is different." Fei Bo said: "The ghost guy is also very scared. The situation is very bad. Previously, the People's Liberation Army bombarded the British Amethyst in the Yangtze River."
"I know." Chen Kui nodded. He was a newspaper man himself, so of course he knew about this matter. Now let alone the elite, even the Hong Kong Governor was murmuring.
Especially before crossing the river, the People's Liberation Army bombarded the British warship HMS Amethyst in a very domineering manner, letting the world see the attitude of the People's Liberation Army. To be honest, in Chen Kui's view, this approach was very relieving. The various actions of the Chinese nation over the past century
Shame, under that shot, the Amethyst sank into the river and the sea, and the Chinese nation has since stood up.
However, when living in this era, Hong Kong's ghosts and elites feel more fear. Even if the sun never sets, the imperial warships dare to attack. What kind of courage is this? They see a completely different army.
, a communist country, this country does not recognize all old treaties, then Hong Kong...
Fear is a contagious emotion, and what best expresses the degree of fear is the price of land, because land is capital, but it cannot be taken away, not to mention that what we are about to face is a communist country. When fear reaches its extreme, the price of land
He fell into hell.
As the People's Liberation Army in the north gets closer and closer, land prices are getting lower and lower. Fujian and Guangdong and other places have begun to change their appearance. Hong Kong's land prices have also fallen to the bottom. The real cabbage price, Chen Kui estimates, will never be seen in his life.
It is impossible to wait for such cheap land prices.
For others, this is a huge crisis, but for Chen Kui, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, perhaps the greatest opportunity in his life.
"In my opinion, there is no difference. Others are afraid of my greed. Uncle Fatty and Third Uncle. Now is the best opportunity. There will never be such an opportunity again in the future. The current land price has dropped to this point. If I
If you don't take action, you will regret it soon." Chen Kui said.
"..." Fei Bo and Hong Zhennan fell into silence after hearing this. They heard the determination in Chen Kui's tone. Although Chen Kui was their junior, once he made a decision, no one could persuade him.
Not many people can break through the barriers of the times, and Fei Bo and Hong Zhennan are certainly no exceptions.
"How do you judge that they won't come over?"
"It's very simple, because of strategy, occupying Hong Kong is not the best choice."
…
"I think it's not that the two uncles don't believe in your judgment this time, but they want you to do it yourself." On the way, Yang Meng held Chen Kui's hand and said.
This time, Hong Zhennan and Fei Bo did not agree with Chen Kui's suggestion, which was beyond Chen Kui's expectation.
"Let me do it myself?" Chen Kui was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed a possibility.
"But why?"
"Maybe it's because you're too lazy." Yang Meng covered her mouth and smiled.
Fei Bo and Hong Zhennan had long ago said that they would hand over the management of Huayao Group to Chen Kui, but Chen Kui used various reasons to shirk it. In terms of company management, Chen Kui is indeed lazy. Liu Wenzhong is still in charge of Ming Pao, and Chen Kui went to Ming Pao.
The time and frequency are getting less and less, and Oriental Film and Television is also responsible for special managers, and Chen Kui rarely directly participates in management.
"Your Excellency, you are the successor of Hong Quan, Chen Kui?" Just as Chen Kui was thinking, a middle-aged man wearing a long robe and a kind face suddenly stopped in front of Chen Kui, cupping his fists and saying.
