In 1977, the population of Hong Kong Island was just over 4.5 million.
It has absorbed many immigrants from the mainland, and the local birth rate has also risen sharply.
At this time, Hong Kong Island was in an era of economic boom and rapid growth in various data.
The monthly salary of ordinary employees at that time had reached 1,500 Hong Kong dollars, and the income of the middle class would be even higher.
At this time, housing prices in Hong Kong Island had begun to rise rapidly as supply began to fall short of demand due to the increase in the population.
In 1975, the housing price in Hong Kong Island was still HK$230 per square foot, but in 1977 it had climbed to HK$354 per square foot.
In terms of prices, rice is two or three Hong Kong dollars per pound, and pork is about six or seven Hong Kong dollars per pound. The high cost of living has begun to become apparent.
However, for rich second-generations like Guo Zhiqiang, they don’t have to worry about living expenses at all.
Every month, Mr. Guo gives his family 20,000 Hong Kong dollars for expenses, and he can apply for extra money if he needs it.
For example, for the children's education expenses, travel expenses, etc., Guo Zhiqiang can still get 10,000 to 20,000 Hong Kong dollars from the old man every month.
The Guo family’s villa in Repulse Bay is very big, and it is more than enough for a whole family to live in.
As the eldest son, Guo Zhiqiang is 52 years old this year. He has two sons and one daughter, all of whom live in the Guo family's main villa.
When Guo Zhiqiang received the check for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars from the old man, he was delighted, knowing that this was a lucrative job.
Don’t be fooled by his status as the eldest son of the Guo family, who hangs out with the rich second-generations in Hong Kong Island and drives a Crown, which makes him look very impressive.
But in fact, his pockets are often cleaner than his face. He often goes to parties and then thinks of some crooked ways to make money.
Moreover, he didn't dare to use the Guo family's name to cheat people outside, otherwise if he was caught by the old man, he would definitely be put in solitary confinement.
so……
This time the old man was so generous and gave a check for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars in one go, which really made Guo Zhiqiang feel proud.
So much so that when he returned to his room, he was whistling and looking very happy.
"Brother Qiang, what are you so happy about?"
His wife Yan Meijuan, wearing pajamas, came forward to help him take off his coat and asked.
"The old man just gave me an errand. Go to the mainland to pick up my little sister and bring her to Hong Kong. Hehe! You'll pay me HK$100,000 for the trip."
Taking out a check from his pocket, Guo Zhiqiang showed off proudly.
"You'll get 100,000 Hong Kong dollars for a trip to the mainland. Brother Qiang, is there any danger? I heard that in the mainland, if you catch a capitalist, you'll be shot."
Yan Meijuan said with a worried look on her face.
Guo Zhiqiang shook his head and said to her with a smile: "Women are ignorant and only listen to rumors. You should read more newspapers when you have time!"
As written above, the special period has ended in the mainland, and now we welcome compatriots from Hong Kong and Taiwan to return for inspection and investment!
I'm going back to pick up my little sister, what could happen?
It's just that I just pretended to be scared in front of the old man below, otherwise how could he be willing to give me this 100,000 Hong Kong dollars as a bribe? "
"So that's how it is, Brother Qiang. Now that we have money, can we... send Fucheng to learn dancing? He loves singing and dancing. It's the dancing training class I told you about last time, which also teaches singing."
Yan Meijuan said cautiously that the Fucheng she was referring to was their youngest son.
"What the hell! A dance training class costs 5,000 Hong Kong dollars a month, why don't they just rob it?
Sleep! Sleep! I'm going to the mainland tomorrow, I warn you not to bother me."
Guo Zhiqiang casually answered his wife with a few words, then without even taking a shower, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep with a smell of alcohol on his body.
His wife Yan Meijuan sighed, pushed open the door with a look of disappointment, and went to her youngest son's room next door.
"Mommy! Mommy! How is it? Did Daddy promise to send me to learn dancing?"
The youngest son Fucheng rushed forward excitedly. He hadn't slept so late because he wanted to wait for his father to come back so that his mother could help him learn to dance.
Yan Meijuan was afraid that her child would be disappointed, so she could only nod and say, "Your daddy agrees!"
"Yeah! That's great. I can learn to dance now. I want to be the King of Dance in Asia. I want to be a big star. I also want to learn to sing..."
Fucheng is twelve years old this year and will be going to junior high school soon.
With his jet-black hair parted in the middle and his angular face, he is definitely a handsome guy.
"However, your dad is going to the mainland soon. You have to wait for him to come back before taking you to the dance studio to sign up, understand?"
Yan Meijuan said, touching her son's head.
"I know! I know! Mommy! You're the best. Daddy's also great! He's willing to pay for me to learn dancing. When I become a big star in the future, I'll save money for Daddy to start a company. Oh yeah!"
The excited little Fucheng was so happy after getting the answer he wanted from his mother.
However, when mother Yan Meijuan closed the door and left, she sighed again.
…
On the other side, the capital.
Mentougou, Xijiao Shooting Range, Training Base.
Just as the sky was getting light, a military bugle call sounded.
Brush, brush, brush...
More than one hundred second-generation people all got up quickly and in unison and took care of their personal affairs.
Within five minutes, everyone gathered neatly on the training ground.
"Stand at attention! At ease! Stand at attention! Turn right, five kilometers, ready...run!"
Zhao Mengsheng is a strict instructor. After several days of special training, these second generations have begun to take shape.
