June 25, 1982.
Temporary market on Haiphong Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong River.
Street market refers to the current farmers' market.
At this time, a store called Zhenluwei in the cooked food market area of the Haiphong Road temporary street market was crowded with people.
In the store, a young man with straight features, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes and black short Chinese hair was busy working quickly.
He held a sharp kitchen knife in his right hand and quickly chopped the fragrant braised duck on the chopping board into pieces.
Then they are put into plastic bags, tied up, weighed and immediately handed over to customers.
"Uncle Chen! A braised duck and two kilograms of braised vegetables cost a total of 85.5 Hong Kong dollars. Just give me 85 Hong Kong dollars."
"Aunt Li! A smoked chicken and half a pound of braised chicken feet cost a total of 95.7 Hong Kong dollars. Just give me 95 Hong Kong dollars."
"Beautiful girl! Two pounds of braised beef and one pound of braised chicken feet, a total of 103 Hong Kong dollars."
"Handsome boy! One pound of braised pork and one pound of braised vegetables, a total of 22 Hong Kong dollars."
“...................”
Two hours later, the crowded crowd outside the store gradually disappeared.
The young man immediately took off his plastic gloves, took off his chef's hat, and wiped the sweat with a towel.
After taking a big gulp of boiled water, the fatigue in my body gradually dissipated.
He found a chair to sit down, took out a pack of Marlboro from his pocket, took out a cigarette and lit it.
I took a deep breath, feeling the smoke in the air, and my thoughts gradually traveled through time and space.
In his previous life, he was a famous fund manager on Wall Street.
He is almost always successful in financial markets such as stock market, futures, foreign exchange, oil, gold, etc.
However, there are unexpected events in life, and people may make mistakes. Once you are plotted against by others, everything will be in vain.
I actually returned to Hong Kong in 1982. I don’t know whether I should be happy or sad.
His original name was Mo Zhexuan, and now he is an orphan without parents.
My parents went to Malaysia to visit relatives a week ago. The ship they were on was suddenly hit by a typhoon and they were swept into the sea and died unfortunately.
This shop that sells authentic braised food was left behind by Mo Zhexuan's father, Mo Minghua.
The Mo family’s ancestor was a court chef who left behind secret techniques for making braising food.
Therefore, it has been loved by countless Hong Kong people since its opening.
As the cigarette burned to the end.
A captivating gleam flashed in Mo Zhexuan's eyes.
I secretly said in my heart:
"I must accomplish something earth-shattering in this lifetime. The Hong Kong dollar crisis, the 1987 stock market crash, the Plaza Accord... if I seize these opportunities, making money will be easy."
In his previous life, Mo Zhexuan was also a Hong Kong native, and he knew the future direction of Hong Kong very well.
I also spent a lot of time studying Hong Kong's finance.
So these precious memories at this moment are invaluable.
As a reborn person, he has a clear understanding of Hong Kong's future ownership and development.
The four major British trading companies, Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock, were acquired by Superman Li Ka-shing and shipping magnate Pao Yu-kong respectively.
After losing its core business of Wharf Holdings, Jardine Matheson shifted its focus to overseas and its strength declined.
Only Jardine Matheson is growing stronger day by day, but it is also worried about the future situation.
In exchange for support, it gave away part of its shares in Cathay Pacific, its core industry, to Chinese groups.
Even HSBC, which holds the right to issue currency in Hong Kong, moved its headquarters to the British Empire.
From then on, Hong Kong became the world of the top ten chaebols and four major families.
A primary school student in Hong Kong wrote in his composition:
Li Jiacheng is truly worthy of his name. Hong Kong is the Li family's city. He is our God, and all things are created by him.
Of course, they are the legendary trinity of Hong Kong: Li Ka-shing, Li Zekai and Li Zeju.
Their strength far exceeds that of humans. They provide shelter for workers and protect Hong Kong from typhoons and heavy rains.
They have paid so much, just hoping that we can go to work on time and leave on time. This is all the greatness of Cheng Ge.
Mo Zhexuan wants to trample the four major families under his feet, but this road is destined to be full of thorns.
Because even the famous stock market sniper Liu Luanxiong didn't do it.
Instead, he was coerced by Li Ka-shing during the 1997 financial crisis and became a dog of the Li family in Hong Kong.
"Xuanzi! Are you in there?"
"Uncle De! Here he comes!"
Mo Zhexuan responded loudly, then quickly stood up and walked out.
When he saw the figure of a young man in a suit and tie, his face instantly turned cold.
"Xuanzai! This is Liu Fu, the purchasing manager of Maxim's. He wants to discuss something with you!"
Uncle De's face was a little embarrassed, but he returned to normal in an instant.
Thinking that if I succeed, I will definitely get a large commission, I become more enthusiastic and positive.
"Mr. Mo! Hello!"
Liu Fu's face was filled with a warm smile, and he quickly extended his right hand.
But seeing that the other party had no reaction, the smile on his face gradually froze, and he had to silently withdraw his hand.
"Mr. Mo! Here's the thing. I'm here on behalf of Café de Coral to acquire the secret braised food recipe you hold. We're offering 500,000 Hong Kong dollars."
"oh..."
Mo Zhexuan responded lightly, even with a hint of a smile on his face.
He calmly took out a broom from behind him and hit the other person unexpectedly.
Then he roared loudly:
"Get out of here! I said I'm not selling it, but you guys are still clinging to us like a dog-skin plaster."
