The flowers are so beautiful that they are dazzling!
In a bustling city, it is not just the human mind that is confused!
Behind the prosperous scene of Hong Kong Island is the wealth created by the hard-working hands of countless new Hong Kong people who came from the mainland.
At that time, Hong Kong Island had not yet become the world economic and financial center that it later became, supported only by finance and tourism.
The docks and some factories on Hong Kong Island accommodate tens of thousands of workers.
Before the mainland's reform and opening up, Hong Kong's manufacturing industry was quite good.
However, with the continuous rise in commodity and housing prices in Hong Kong Island, workers' wages also had to increase, causing the manufacturing industry in Hong Kong Island to decline rapidly.
The mainland's investment promotion, cheap land prices and labor costs quickly siphoned away Hong Kong's manufacturing industry.
The mainland's work craze resulted in the closure of a large number of factories in Hong Kong Island and the unemployment of countless workers. However, the dock business became increasingly prosperous and the real estate industry began to prosper abnormally.
Hong Kong Island, the Pearl of the Orient, has also begun to transform its economy and people's livelihood in a distorted direction.
"Little sister! Isn't it beautiful! This is the night view of Victoria Harbour. Central is also the center of the entire Hong Kong Island. You can go there more often when you have time.
There is the Kang Le Building, the tallest building in Asia, which is a shocking sight you will never see on the mainland.
Oh, right! How much money did your father give you when you came to Hong Kong? If you don’t have enough money, just tell your eldest brother. Although your eldest brother has a lot of expenses in running a company, he still has some money on hand.”
Guo Zhiqiang took his younger sister to familiarize himself with the situation in Hong Kong Island, and asked tentatively while looking at the night view of Victoria Harbor.
He saw with his own eyes yesterday that his father called his younger sister into the study and gave her a check.
That’s right! My little sister has been alone and helpless in the mainland for so many years. My father must be heartbroken and eager to compensate her.
so……
The amount on the check given to her was definitely not small.
"Thank you, brother! Dad wrote me a check for two million Hong Kong dollars for me to use as pocket money.
But I don’t need so much money. For the time being, I’m living at home and don’t have much to spend.
I didn't dare to take such a large sum of money, so I returned it to my father. "
Guo Linxian spoke very calmly and rejected her father's gift of two million Hong Kong dollars, as if it was a very ordinary thing.
Hearing this, the elder brother Guo Zhiqiang's heart was bleeding. He wanted to shout immediately, "Little sister, you don't want the two million Hong Kong dollars, I want it! Go ask dad for it and invest it in my company, okay?"
Guo Zhiqiang originally thought that his younger sister would definitely get a sum of money from her father, and he could get some of it by helping her manage her finances and safekeeping, or by investing, etc.
However, man proposes, God disposes!
Guo Zhiqiang couldn't understand how there could be people in the world who didn't love money?
The money given by my father is clean and has a clear origin. There is no cost in taking it, so why shouldn’t I take it?
Of course, he certainly couldn't say that. Instead, he had to pretend to be a caring elder brother and said, "Little sister! This is your fault. That money is your father's debt and compensation to you.
Whether you spend it or not, as long as you take the money, won’t the knot in Dad’s heart for so many years be relieved a little bit? "
"oh?"
Guo Linxian hadn't thought of this, so she nodded and said a little ashamedly, "Brother! You are really thoughtful. I really didn't consider this.
However, I also followed my father's advice and just took a few thousand Hong Kong dollars in cash for temporary use.
From now on, I will earn my own money for my expenses in Hong Kong Island.
After all, on the surface, I applied for a job transfer from the Shanghai Translation Bureau to the Xinhua News Agency in Hong Kong.
Everything has been arranged. I will report to the Xinhua News Agency’s Hong Kong branch tomorrow.
In addition, I can speak Russian, Japanese, English and some French and German. I asked my second brother yesterday and he said that being a translator in Hong Kong Island can also make a lot of money.
If I want to become rich and make a lot of money like you, I may not be able to do it.
But I believe that I can support myself without any problems.”
"Uh... yes, yes! You have been smart since you were young, especially in your talent for languages.
Dad hired so many foreign teachers for you, whether they were from the United States, Germany, the Soviet Union, France or Japan, you could master a new language very quickly. "
Guo Zhiqiang flattered his younger sister on the surface, but in his heart he was always complaining about why his younger sister was so self-reliant.
Her father clearly loved her so much and wanted to give her money to spend, but she refused.
Same father but different fate!
It is extremely difficult to get some money. My younger sister doesn't want the money, but my father forces it on her.
"Okay! Brother, it's quite chilly this evening. The sea breeze makes me miss Shanghai a little bit."
Apart from being shocked by the tall buildings and bustling scene when she first arrived in Hong Kong Island, Guo Linxian became a little disenchanted with Hong Kong Island in just over a day.
"Are you going back now? Do you want me to take you to Central? It's very lively there at night..."
Guo Zhiqiang wanted to get closer to the younger sister, but Guo Linxian didn't have the leisure time for that.
She waved her hand and said to Guo Zhiqiang: "Brother! I have to get up early tomorrow to report to the Xinhua News Agency's Hong Kong branch, so I want to go home and rest early."
"Well... okay! Anyway, little sister, if you need anything, feel free to tell me.
My father and second brother are busy with their business and can hardly spare time, so I am relatively free.
You don't have to be polite to Big Brother, we are all family."
