Wang Qiang nodded. "Uncle, don't worry about this. As long as I handle things properly on my end, I will definitely get married as soon as possible."
Lou Bancheng nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "Xiaoqiang, it's been so long since we last met. How's the situation in City 49?"
"I heard that the environment is worse now than when I left. I wonder if it's true."
Wang Qiang was silent for a moment before speaking. "Uncle and Aunt, your information is accurate. The situation is indeed quite chaotic right now."
Wang Qiang briefly explained the recent situation to them, and the two of them sighed repeatedly, never expecting things to turn out this way.
After hearing this, Tan Yali asked Wang Qiang, "You said before that I could go back in 20 years at most. Is that true?"
Wang Qiang nodded.
Lou Bancheng sighed. "Xiaoqiang, to be honest, I never expected to end up like this. I was hoping to spend my old age in my hometown, but I never thought I would have to wander around like this."
"Although you said you could go back in 20 years, how many 20-year periods does one have in a lifetime? I'm already this old, and with my current health condition, I'm afraid I won't live to see that day."
After saying that, she sighed repeatedly, and Tanya Li, who was listening nearby, also felt sad.
"The old man is here today, and Wang Qiang is here to say something happy about their wedding. We can also enjoy the joy of family life."
Lou Bancheng nodded, "Yes, we enjoy family life. I hope that one day our whole family can go back to our hometown happily."
Wang Qiang smiled and comforted her, "Uncle and Aunt, you don't need to be so pessimistic. I think you will definitely live to see that time."
The three of them chatted for a while longer.
Tan Yali said, "Xiao Qiang, don't leave today. I'll go tell the kitchen to cook."
Wang Qiang nodded and said to Tan Yali, "Thank you for your trouble, Auntie."
After watching Tan Yali leave, Lou Bancheng leaned close to Wang Qiang and said something.
"I was a little embarrassed to speak up when your aunt was here. You know, men at my age often find themselves lacking in physical strength."
"Ever since we came to Hong Kong, your aunt and I have been sleeping in separate rooms."
Seeing Wang Qiang's expression, Lou Bancheng quickly explained.
"It's not because I have another woman outside, but because I really can't keep up."
Wang Qiang nodded, indicating his understanding. "I think you're under a lot of pressure. Coming here after leaving 49 cities is like starting a second business. Although you have some foundation, you're still unfamiliar with the place and far from home, so the mental pressure is immense. I can understand that."
"Plus, given your age, you also have a lot of business-related social engagements. This is all normal."
Upon hearing Wang Qiang's words, a smile gradually appeared on Lou Bancheng's face.
"So, do you think this can be prepared?"
Wang Qiang thought for a moment, then nodded and said to him, "I think it's possible, but after all, I'm getting older, so I should be more restrained in some things."
Lou Bancheng smiled and said, "I understand that principle. I'm just worried that over time, my relationship with your aunt might suffer."
Wang Qiang listened and nodded silently. "Don't worry, I will definitely find a way."
Lou Bancheng's eyes lit up. If it was true, that would be great. At his level, he no longer had much desire for money; his health was now his top priority.
He laughed and said, "I'm relieved to hear that. After you and E'zi get married, you can gradually take over the business. I'll stay home and enjoy family life."
Wang Qiang thought for a moment, then spoke up. "Get rich quick. What kind of business are you doing here now? I set up a shipbreaking yard, and now there are about 200 workers."
Lou Bancheng laughed and said, "You have a good eye. Ship dismantling is a highly profitable industry, but it's always associated with organized crime. It's not something ordinary people can handle."
Wang Qiang nodded. Lou Bancheng was right; his shipbreaking yard was taken from Fatty Fa and Niu Shi Chao.
Moreover, the workers were practically slave laborers, and they were all illegal immigrants!
Such a business, which requires no initial investment, naturally generates huge profits.
However, Wang Qiang knew that Hong Kong's biggest industry later on was actually real estate, no matter how well the real economy was developing now.
Ultimately, they all ended up in the real estate industry.
Therefore, if you have spare funds now, the most important thing is to hoard land!
Of course, other industries can be developed to support development!
"Uncle, do you think Hong Kong's real estate industry has a future?"
Lou Bancheng glanced at Wang Qiang after hearing this, thinking that the kid was quite clever.
"Given the current economic development situation, the real estate industry definitely has great potential. However, there are many restrictions on entering this industry, requiring strong capital and connections."
"Otherwise, the huge investment alone is beyond the reach of ordinary people like us. Also, without connections, acquiring land is extremely difficult."
"However, as long as you can get into this field, you will definitely make more money than other industries, because Hong Kong's economy is booming now, and the first thing many ordinary people do after they have money is to buy their own house."
Wang Qiang's analysis of the city's development was truly admirable. By the time development reached its final stage, Hong Kong's industrial sector had almost disappeared, leaving only the service industry and real estate.
After all, with such a small area, there are no advantages to developing real industries. We can only say that we are taking advantage of the favorable winds!
If it weren't for the blockade by the two major camps, East and West, Hong Kong's status would be far inferior to that of the Huangpu River!
Hong Kong's current economic and cultural boom is due to the influx of capital and talent from the mainland.
It wasn't until the 1970s that local culture slowly began to rise again!
Lou Bancheng looked at Wang Qiang: "You want to get into real estate?"
Wang Qiang laughed and said, "I do have that idea, but my current status is not legal, so I cannot personally intervene in this matter."
Lou Bancheng laughed and said, "This problem isn't difficult to solve, but it's not so easy!"
Wang Qiang laughed along: "I know, but I know even more that real estate is the most profitable industry in the world, bar none!"
Lou Bancheng nodded: "That's true, people always need a place to live!"
He then asked Wang Qiang in a low voice, "Are there many illegal immigrants in your shipyard?"
Wang Qiang looked at Lou Bancheng, "That's right!"
Lou Bancheng said worriedly, "These people are all unstable factors. If you want healthy development, you should hire some legal workers!"
Wang Qiang nodded, and was about to speak when someone burst in from outside!
