Hong Kong in the 1980s was full of skyscrapers.
Much more prosperous than the mainland, Greentown is just a county town compared to Hong Kong of this era.
But for Zhao Xiaohai, who came from the future and had worked in first-tier cities and was accustomed to the tall buildings and the brightly lit neon night scenes, the current Hong Kong would not cause him any disturbance.
I just saw that the small streets in Hong Kong are still so narrow.
Zhao Xiaohai simply hailed a taxi on the side of the road and said, "Let's go to the Guohai Pier."
At this time, Kowloon in Hong Kong is still relatively old. The most prosperous place in Hong Kong is Central, the absolute CBD area of Hong Kong, which is as famous as Manhattan in New York, the City of London, Ginza in Tokyo, and La Defense in Paris.
In later generations, the domestic CBD areas were Chaoyang in Beijing, Lujiazui in Shanghai, and Tianhe in Guangzhou.
Zhao Xiaohai's purpose of going to Central was simple: to buy some suitable clothes.
The clothes he wore would definitely be considered fashionable in China, but in Hong Kong, they immediately looked tacky. Hong Kong is a typical capitalist society that only values clothes, not people. Having a decent outfit is the key to gaining a foothold. Otherwise, not only will it be difficult to do things, but the police may also ask for proof of identity at any time on the grounds of suspicious behavior.
If Zhao Xiaohai wants to stay here well, he must integrate into the place.
Hong Kong's cross-harbour tunnel has been open for almost ten years, and taxis can actually go directly to Hong Kong Island. The reason why Zhao Xiaohai wanted to take a boat was mainly to experience it.
Take a ferry across the sea,
This is one of the plots in many Hong Kong movies.
“Woo~!”
The whistle sounded.
Zhao Xiaohai walked onto the dock on the deck. It was already dark and it was about to get nightfall. He followed the crowd to the bus station and did not take a taxi. Instead, Zhao Xiaohai boarded a double-decker bus. Instead of squeezing downstairs, he went up to the second floor.
Double-decker buses are one of Hong Kong's signature attractions, making them a great choice for sightseeing at night. Once you enter the city, it's already dark, and the neon signs and shop windows on the buildings light up. This is when Hong Kong is at its most prosperous.
Inside the mall, colorful clothes were hung all over the walls and on hangers, and a clerk with sleek hair greeted us warmly.
"Welcome, sir. What would you like to buy? Looking at your demeanor, our clothes will definitely suit you."
Speaks English.
Damn, do you think I don’t understand English because I’m dressed in a rustic way?
I have practiced English. I wouldn’t say it’s very good, but I have no problem with daily conversation.
Zhao Xiaohai smiled imperceptibly and spoke in English.
"I'm going to buy some fashionable clothes, something I can wear out in Hong Kong. I have money, but it didn't come from the wind, you understand?"
The clerk looked Zhao Xiaohai up and down, a barely perceptible scrutiny flashed in his eyes, but his smile remained warm.
"Then you've come to the right place! The clothes here are all the most popular styles at the moment. I guarantee that you will look brand new once you put them on." As he said that, the clerk picked out a light gray suit from the hanger, paired with a light blue shirt and a dark red tie, and handed it to Zhao Xiaohai.
"Sir, try this one. It's the most popular combination this year. It looks calm and stylish."
Zhao Xiaohai took the clothes and walked into the fitting room.
The moment he changed his clothes and stood in front of the mirror, he seemed like a different person.
The straight suit outlines his figure, and the combination of light blue shirt and dark red tie makes him look energetic and fashionable.
"Sir, this suit fits you perfectly, as if it were tailor-made for you!" the clerk praised at the right moment.
Zhao Xiaohai looked at himself in the mirror and felt a sense of confidence in his heart.
I bought a well-fitting suit. It wasn't a big brand, but it still cost me over a thousand. I also bought a shirt and leather shoes. After changing into one set of clothes, I looked completely different.
Walking out of the clothing store wearing new clothes, Zhao Xiaohai felt as if he had been reborn.
But he did not dare to relax at all, and always reminded himself to be careful and not to attract the attention of the police because of some small negligence.
Walking on the streets of Central, people around me are dressed in fancy clothes and walking in a hurry.
Zhao Xiaohai tried his best to make his steps appear natural and relaxed, blending into the rhythm of this bustling city.
There are high-end barber shops around.
Zhao Xiaohai found a teacher named Tony to give him a neat haircut.
He is a modern man, and there is no confusion and rusticity on his face. After changing his clothes, cutting his hair, and wearing a Swiss watch, his temperament immediately comes out. He looks like a promising young man in the workplace. Walking on the street, no one can tell that he is from the mainland.
After a simple dinner, Zhao Xiaohai walked around Central.
What is most abundant in Central?
Banks, financial institutions, shopping malls, food courts, watch shops, brand-name clothing stores, and gold buildings.
There are no restrictions on gold trading in Hong Kong, and it is freely bought and sold. Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang, Luk Fook, Gold Supreme and Tse Sui Luen all have stores in Central.
I randomly flipped around in the progress.
Zhao Xiaohai knew that he was losing money by exchanging RMB for Hong Kong dollars.
The price of gold in mainland China is determined by the People's Bank of China, and the national gold purchase price is uniformly set at 16.875 yuan per gram.
Gold in Hong Kong is $320 an ounce.
At that time, the Hong Kong dollar was pegged to the US dollar and adopted a fixed exchange rate.
One US dollar is equivalent to 7.8 Hong Kong dollars.
One ounce of gold is HK$2,340.
The gold in mainland China is converted into ounces, which is about 525 yuan per ounce.
If you buy gold in mainland China with RMB and then exchange the mainland gold for Hong Kong dollars, you can double the profit.
It can also give play to its own system space advantages.
My own space is about the size of a 24-inch suitcase, which is approximately equal to 68 cubic decimeters.
It can hold about 1,316 kilograms of gold when fully filled with gold because gold has a very high density.
The conversion to ounces is ounces.
An ounce of mainland gold can earn about 500 yuan when sold in Hong Kong.
A full trip can earn more than 23 million.
The profit margin is much higher than that of electronic watches, sunglasses and clothing, and there is no need to worry about being inspected during transportation.
It turns out that if you don’t come out and take a look, you won’t know so much information.
As for selling gold, it is very simple in Hong Kong.
Gold shops are not short of information about sources, which is why Hong Kong robbers like to rob gold shops.
Because it is the easiest to cash in.
Of course, it is not realistic to buy a ton of gold in the mainland at once, but it is still possible to buy a batch. The amount of gold reserves in the mainland is still astonishing.
Zhao Xiaohai didn't want to think about anything else, gold was the king.
They resell Hong Kong's civilian industrial products to Greentown, exchange them for gold in Greentown, take the gold to Hong Kong for sale, and then buy electronic watches, clothing and other products.
As long as you keep running it and put out 200,000 in start-up capital, you can earn hundreds of thousands a month.
We have the money to open a factory and sufficient funds for business development.
Being a profiteer is the right way to make quick money.
First find a place to live, then register a Hong Kong company, and use the Hong Kong company to invest in Greentown.
Lin Zhengxiong’s house, let’s talk about it after we’re done.
