Chapter 208
Qiao Jiahui was stunned for a moment after hearing this. "Sister-in-law, are you really going to buy a house in Hong Kong?"
Jiang Meishu hummed, "I have this plan, but it's for tomorrow."
"Tomorrow is the 28th, and the Chinese New Year is almost here. I wonder if the sales office will still be open." Qiao Jiahui muttered.
Jiang Meishu said, "You'll know when you go and see." She just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to come here.
Buying a property in Hong Kong in the next seven or eight years is a sure win. She only needs to buy it and then wait for the value of the property to increase a hundred or a thousand times in the future.
After Qiao Jiahui left, Jiang Meishu also lay down to rest. She and Liang Qiurun muttered to each other, "Old Liang, we must buy the house in Hong Kong."
Liang Qiurun was concerned about something else. "Are houses here allowed to be bought and sold?"
"right."
Jiang Meishu hummed, "Lao Liang, let's seize the opportunity now."
House prices in Hong Kong have been rising since the early 1980s. In 1997, the prices plummeted, but they rose again in the future.
It was 1978, and Hong Kong's entire property market was still in its slump. Jiang Meishu felt she would be struck by lightning if she didn't seize this opportunity.
If we go back to the past and don’t buy a house, gold, or invest, then it would really be a waste of time.
Seeing that she was very tired, Liang Qiurun loosened her shoulders and legs, and moved his calloused hands down. "Are you sure?"
Jiang Meishu hummed comfortably. "Lao Liang, Guangzhou's economy is recovering, not to mention Hong Kong, which is even ahead of Guangzhou. After the economic recovery, the first thing to show is housing, followed by shops, and then the real economy. People have money to spend, which will drive a series of developments."
“And we’re just before the economic recovery.”
When it comes to Jiang Meishu's professional field, she talks freely, "If we can act now, Lao Liang." In the darkness, her eyes are blazing, "We will make a fortune, a lot of money."
Of course, this is premised on the fact that they can accumulate enough capital. Only with capital can they have the opportunity to sit at the table.
Liang Qiurun actually didn't have much desire to make money, but seeing Jiang Meishu like this, he nodded and said, "I'll do as you say."
Jiang Meishu hugged his arm and acted coquettishly for a while, which led to some unintended consequences. After a period of intimacy, she fell into a deep sleep. In her dream, she owned tens of millions of buildings and cashed out at the peak of her career.
Jiang Meishu felt like she was the female version of Buffett, but when she woke up and looked at the narrow and cramped room, she felt as if she didn't know what year it was.
"Lao Liang."
Liang Qiurun was washing up in the bathroom when he heard the noise and came out. He was shaving, with patches of white foam on his chin. "Are you awake?"
"Let's go downstairs and have breakfast. Jiahui said there's a very famous breakfast shop downstairs."
Jiang Meishu hummed softly as she woke up. The hem of her skirt was lifted up, revealing her long, straight, white legs draped over the bed. They were as slender as jade, so delicate that they seemed to be broken by a touch. She was incredibly beautiful.
Liang Qiurun lowered his eyes, and the first thing that came to his mind was the image of Jiang Jiang wrapping her long legs tightly around his waist last night.
Cool, delicate, and a little damp.
Liang Qiu's Adam's apple rolled, and he shook off those charming thoughts. He called out hoarsely, "Come here and brush your teeth."
He is really gentle and considerate.
When Jiang Meishu came over, he had already prepared the toothbrush and cup, and even squeezed the toothpaste.
"Shall I brush it for you?"
Jiang Meishu chuckled, "Forget it, I'll do it myself. If you continue to take care of me like this, I'm afraid I'll become a useless person."
"How come?"
Liang Qiurun, however, likes the way Jiang Meishu relies on him for everything.
There was a knock on the door outside, "Brother Qiurun, sister-in-law."
It was Qiao Jiahui's voice.
"Here I come."
Liang Qiurun closed the bathroom door and then went outside to open it. "Wait a moment, your sister-in-law is washing up and will be ready soon."
Qiao Jiahui nodded. "I asked Chen Keshan, and he said there's a place downstairs that sells really good chicken wings. Let's go early, maybe we can get a bowl."
The snacks sold in the streets and alleys of Hong Kong are very cool. They close as soon as they sell out and never delay for even a minute.
Liang Qiurun hummed, "I'll be right there."
Jiang Meishu also heard the noise outside, and washed her face, brushed her teeth and wiped her face in one go. She had good skin and didn't need to wear makeup. Even with her bare face, she had a natural and unpretentious feeling, like a lotus emerging from clear water.
After going out, the first thing Chen Keshan said when he saw Jiang Meishu was, "Jiang Meizi, are you really not going to act in the movie?"
Jiang Meishu's face is as big as a palm, with beautiful bones and even more beautiful skin. She has a skull and delicate and beautiful facial features.
He's a natural movie face.
Chen Keshan could almost imagine the shock that would be brought by bringing Jiang Meishu to the big screen.
Facing Chen Keshan's invitation again, Jiang Meishu refused flatly, "I'm not the type to eat this kind of rice."
Her greatest strength is her self-awareness. Anyone who can make it in the entertainment industry is a top talent.
Jiang Meishu never thought of herself as smart. In fact, in some ways, she was quite dull. All she could do was stay away from this circle.
The Hong Kong entertainment industry is a fierce battle between the gods, and this is not something that ordinary people like her can get involved in.
What's more, there are thousands of ways to make money, and there is no need for her to get involved in this mess.
So Jiang Meishu refused flatly, "I'm not cut out for this."
She is more suitable to hide behind the scenes and make money quietly.
Chen Keshan felt sorry, but Liang Qiurun gave Chen Keshan a warning look after Jiang Meishu refused. They both knew that this was the last time, and he told Chen Keshan not to bring up such a topic in front of Jiang Meishu again.
Chen Keshan understood immediately and nodded.
I went to the Jinxiang Hotel for breakfast downstairs, and there was already a long queue.
Chen Keshan had no money, so he went to run errands. Qiao Jiahui went with him and asked Liang Qiurun and Jiang Meishu to compete for the position.
The table here is not big, and there is a layer of yellow oil stains on it. Jiang Meishu wiped it again and again with toilet paper.
Liang Qiurun is also a person who loves cleanliness. When Qiao Jiahui came over after buying the bowl of chicken feet, the whole table looked brand new.
Qiao Jiahui was stunned. "Brother Qiurun, sister-in-law, it's a pity that you don't become waiters."
"Even professional waiters can't keep up with your abilities."
This statement caused another round of eye rolls.
Qiao Jiahui didn't get angry either. He just sat down and said with a smile, "Try it. I haven't had this bowl of chicken wings in years. It tastes great."
Jiang Meishu tried it and it was a little hot, but it tasted fresh, smooth and delicious, and it slid down her throat before she even bit into it.
Jiang Meishu took another bite and savored it carefully, "It's really delicious."
Chen Keshan, "I used to love eating this bowl of chicken wings the most."
He held the bowl and drank it, but his hair and beard were a little long, which made it inconvenient.
"Later, I fell into poverty and couldn't afford to eat anymore." He ate very cleanly and even wanted to lick the bowl and chopsticks.
Qiao Jiahui couldn't bear it any longer, "Didn't I give you money yesterday?"
With one million, you can afford not only shark fin, but also abalone and sea cucumber.
"That's different. That's money from making the movie. You absolutely cannot touch it."
Chen Keshan finished eating and wiped his mouth. "I have to go to prepare. You may not see me these few days. After the official shooting starts, you can come and supervise me personally."
Jiang Meishu definitely doesn't have time.
Qiao Jiahui thought for a moment and said, "Let me find someone for you, so that no one will dare to embarrass you when you are filming."
Chen Keshan's eyes lit up, "Who?"
Qiao Jiahui, "My second sister, Chen Qinghui."
Don’t be fooled by her gentle name. In fact, Chen Qinghui can be regarded as a female devil in Hong Kong, who is dedicated to killing her husband.
I got married three times and my husband died three times.
As a result, Chen Qinghui became famous in Hong Kong, but it was a reputation as a husband-killer.
In addition, she is a capable person and has a boy's destiny, so she is nicknamed the female devil in the world.
"May I?"
Chen Keshan subconsciously said, "Can the female devil look down on my small temple?"
"I'll call her, and she'll definitely come."
Qiao Jiahui was really capable of this. With just one phone call, Chen Qinghui came over before they had even finished their breakfast, and Chen Qing came with her.
Chen Qinghui didn't care. She came over and hit Qiao Jiahui on the head with a bag. With a bang, her tone was sharp and fierce, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Even Jiang Meishu, who was standing next to him, was shocked. She finally understood why Qiao Guangzheng didn't let the more beautiful Qiao Qinghui bring sobering soup to Liang Qiurun. Given Qiao Qinghui's personality, it was a good thing she didn't splash the sobering soup on Liang Qiurun's face.
Qiao Jiahui was also used to his second sister's savagery. "Did your third sister tell you? I invested in Chen Keshan's new movie, but I have to go back to Guangzhou. I want you to help keep an eye on it. Is that okay?"
"Second sister."
He tugged at the corner of Qiao Qinghui's clothes, looking pitiful.
Qiao Qinghui is twelve years older than Qiao Jiahui. Qiao Jiahui has been sitting on her back since he was a child. Among the three sisters, Qiao Qinghui loves Qiao Jiahui the most.
She hummed, "I don't have to go every day, right? I definitely don't have time every day."
“It has to be every day.”
Qiao Jiahui murmured.
"Then let him come." Qiao Qinghui pulled Chen Qing out. "He wants to come see you. Isn't he the friend you brought back? Just let him go to the set and report to me every day after get off work."
Chen Qing was pulled suddenly and was a little confused. But Chen Keshan next to him looked like he had found gold, his eyes shining.
But because Qiao Qinghui was still there, he didn't dare to speak.
Qiao Jiahui glanced at Chen Qing and subconsciously asked, "Second sister, I want someone who can take charge of the studio. Can he go?"
Chen Qing is from the mainland, and people in Hong Kong are most likely to look down on mainlanders.
"He goes with my orders, who dares not obey him?"
Chen Qinghui said coldly, "I'll take care of you for the first week, and then I'll let you go."
"Anything else? If not, I'll go back to the ship."
Qiao Jiahui shook his head like a rattle. Seeing Chen Qinghui was about to leave, he suddenly realized, "Second sister, do you know who is selling a house nearby?"
When it comes to this kind of news, no one knows better than her second sister.
Qiao Qinghui turned her head abruptly and stared at him suspiciously, "Are you really going to break up?"
Otherwise, what's the point of buying a house?
"I definitely won't be going back to the Qiao family, but it's not me who's going to buy the house. It's my sister-in-law." Qiao Jiahui took the initiative to introduce Jiang Meishu, "My sister-in-law wants to buy a house in Hong Kong."
Qiao Qinghui knew Jiang Meishu and Liang Qiurun, and she actually had a crush on them. Her father had used her younger sister as a test, fearing that if Liang Qiurun had accepted, Qiao Qinghui would have looked down on her.
I didn't expect that he would refuse.
Thinking of this, Qiao Qinghui's attitude softened a bit. "Xiangjing Building and Fugui Garden are both for sale. If you want to buy them, I'll give them a call."
Jiang Meishu nodded, "Thank you for troubling my second sister."
She is a few years younger than Qiao Qinghui, so calling her "Second Sister" is not out of the ordinary.
Qiao Qinghui was stunned for a moment, then she picked up her cell phone and called. After a moment, the call was connected and an address was given.
Qiao Qinghui introduced Jiang Meishu's situation. "My brother will take them there. Xiao Li, please give me a discount. I will definitely reward you handsomely later."
Naturally, the other party did not refuse.
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Qinghui said, "Okay, you can go and check out these two communities, one in Tsim Sha Tsui and the other in Causeway Bay."
Jiang Meishu thanked her.
Before Qiao Qinghui left, she glanced at Chen Qing and said, "Stay and help."
"The Qiao family doesn't keep idle people."
Chen Qing lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After Qiao Qinghui completely left, Jiang Meishu subconsciously asked, "Teacher Chen, why did you come here with my second sister?"
Chen Qing raised his eyes. He had a pair of auspicious phoenix eyes, with long eyelashes and wide corners of the eyes. When he looked at people like this, he had a kind of androgynous beauty.
"It's quite awkward for me to live in there now that you've all left."
He originally planned to live in the Qiao family to be close to Qiao Guangzheng, but he found that Qiao Guangzheng no longer lived at home after Qiao Jiahui left. Later, he learned from the servants that Qiao Guangzheng had another family outside.
He would not return to the old house unless it was an important matter. At that moment, Chen Qing looked at Mrs. Qiao with a complicated look.
Mrs. Qiao’s favorite thing to do is to look into the distance from the high-rise building of the Qiao family. This is actually the same as his mother’s preference to sit at the door and wait.
They are all women who have been hurt by Qiao Guangzheng.
After discovering this, Chen Qing actually felt less resentful towards Mrs. Qiao. He resented Qiao Guangzheng more.
It happened that Qiao Jiahui called Qiao Qinghui, and Chen Qing heard it, so he followed him over.
After hearing Chen Qing's answer, Jiang Meishu hadn't said anything yet, but Qiao Jiahui was the first to apologize, "It's my fault. I missed Teacher Chen."
"Teacher Chen, please follow Chen Keshan from now on."
The mentioned Chen Keshan looked at Chen Qing with his eyes shining. "Handsome boy, I think you are a natural genius and a good material for entering the entertainment industry. Do you want to come?"
He actually wanted to say this to Liang Qiurun, saying that Liang Qiurun's appearance was even better than Chen Qing's, but he didn't dare to. Liang Qiurun's aura was too strong, which made Chen Keshan have no courage to say it.
Seeing Chen Qing, he naturally no longer had such concerns. He still had the ability to judge people as a director.
As expected, Chen Qing, who was questioned by Chen Keshan, was still a little confused. "Entertainment industry?"
"Well, I have a movie in hand. Didn't Young Master Jiahui invest in it? Do you want to come and play a supporting role?"
Chen Qing was silent for a moment, "Do you have money?"
His face was pale, his lips were tightly pursed, and he looked a little embarrassed.
The little money he had for tutoring Liang Rui and Liang Feng was not much left after he paid for his mother's medical treatment. Now he was in Hong Kong, where he had to spend money everywhere.
"Yes, of course, the pay is not low."
"And if you come, I can give you an acquaintance price."
Chen Qing was still hesitating. He subconsciously looked at Jiang Meishu, who asked him, "Do you want to do it?"
Chen Qing lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering her eyelids, like a magnificent painting. "I'm short of money."
"Then go ahead."
"This industry is one that makes money quickly."
Jiang Meishu naturally knew that the entertainment industry made money quickly, but not everyone in this industry could make money.
Chen Qing was decisive, "Then I'll go."
Upon hearing this, Chen Keshan clapped his hands. "That's right. Your last name is Chen, and mine is Chen too. Maybe we were a family eight hundred years ago."
"Okay, I won't go with you guys to look at the house, and Chen Qing will follow me."
Both parties said goodbye downstairs at Jinxiang Hotel.
Chen Keshan was anxiously preparing for the prelude to filming, while Jiang Meishu went to Xiangjing Building.
In Tsim Sha Tsui, you can see the narrow strip of sky outside, and the buildings are towering into the sky, which is very modern. However, not many people come to view or buy houses.
Also in the late 1970s, people actually didn’t have such a strong desire for real estate, so the entire real estate market was still quite depressed.
When Jiang Meishu and the others arrived at the entrance of Xiangjing Building, there were very few people inside buying apartments. Only Brother Li was standing at the door, guarding it.
When he saw Jiang Meishu and the others' car arrive, Brother Li immediately ran over and asked, "Is that Mr. Qiao?"
No matter how Qiao Jiahui breaks up with his family, in Hong Kong he is still the young master of the Qiao family, the kind who is highly regarded by everyone.
Qiao Jiahui hummed and pointed behind him, "It's not me who bought the house, it's my brother and sister-in-law who bought the house."
This person was smart at this time, and changed from Brother Qiu Run to my brother and my sister-in-law. This relationship is extremely close.
As expected, as soon as Qiao Jiahui finished speaking, Brother Li's expression immediately became more attentive. "My name is Li Chengdong, just call me Adong."
Jiang Meishu shook her head but still called out, "Brother Li, please take us to see the house."
As for Liang Qiurun, he simply nodded. He was a gentle, noble-looking man with a rather strong aura. This made Li Chengdong beside him wonder which Hong Kong tycoon's son he was.
This noble temperament is not something that ordinary people can possess.
Li Chengdong's attitude became more respectful. "The house sand table is inside. I'll take you in to have a look."
Liang Qiurun nodded, and Li Chengdong immediately felt flattered, and even followed him in leading the way.
This made Qiao Jiahui unable to bear watching, "I remember Brother Li wasn't like this before."
Liang Qiurun didn't say anything.
After entering, you can see that the sales office here is built very grandly, and there is a sand table in the middle.
"This is our sand table." He handed over a flyer. "Our largest units are 1,000 square feet, and the smallest are just over 20 square feet."
Jiang Meishu was a little confused about how to convert this number. "Can you convert it to square?"
People in mainland China are used to using squares instead.
Li Chengdong paused for a moment, then quickly adjusted himself. "A thousand feet is one hundred square meters. The largest house is one hundred and twenty square meters, which is considered a luxury house. The smallest is eleven square meters."
Jiang Meishu now understood, "Then is there one in the middle?"
"The kind that's forty or fifty square meters."
"have."
"These are the floor plans for the 35-square-meter and 45-square-meter units," Li Chengdong handed them over. "But I still suggest you go and see the house."
"Can I do it now?"
"certainly."
Li Chengdong led the way, "The house is just behind, just go ahead."
It only took three minutes to get there.
"I'll take you to see the 35-square-meter one first." He took the key to open the door. It was a completely unfinished house. There was still some dust after entering. Li Chengdong patted it.
Jiang Meishu then followed him in. She took a quick look first. Turning left after entering the door was a living room, plus a balcony. There were two doors on both sides, which were two bedrooms. The kitchen was on the far left, and the toilet was in the middle.
After Jiang Meishu finished reading, she had only one thought: "This is more than 35 square meters, right?"
Li Chengdong, "The suite is 35 square meters, and we gave you a 5 square meter balcony."
"Then it adds up to 40 square meters." But these 40 square meters seemed larger than the 60 square meters she lived in before. Jiang Meishu had forgotten that there was a thing called common area in the mainland before, but now the 40 square meters of this house are real 40 square meters, not one square meter less.
“How much is it per square meter here?”
Jiang Meishu was actually quite satisfied with the house. The balcony was large and one could see the river view outside from the balcony, which was really nice. Moreover, it was on the fifth floor, which was not too high but not too low either, and the house had very good lighting.
"The original price is 2,200, but if you're an acquaintance, I'll give you an internal price of 1,800 per square meter."
Li Chengdong took out his calculator and quickly calculated, "One thousand eighteen times thirty-five is sixty-three thousand."
Jiang Meishu looked at the calculator and her eyes suddenly lit up. "Xiangjiang has a calculator?"
“It’s only been available in the past two years.”
"Why, Miss Jiang, do you want it?"
Jiang Meishu, "Can I ask where you bought it?"
"That department store street outside Tsim Sha Tsui sells everything."
Jiang Meishu said to herself that they really needed a calculator, as it would save a lot of time compared to using an abacus.
After thanking her, she said, "Then let's take this house."
"I'm looking at another set."
Li Chengdong knew Jiang Meishu liked this apartment as soon as he heard it, and immediately took her to see another one happily. "This one is 50 square meters, and we made it into a three-bedroom and one-living room."
Jiang Meisu, “…”
She thought to herself that Xiang Jiang really deserved to be the real estate king. He was able to build a three-bedroom and one-living room apartment in just 50 square meters. That was really amazing.
After Jiang Meishu finished looking at the three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, she asked, "Isn't there any free space?"
“This building is closer to the river view, so it doesn’t come with a freebie, and the price is a bit higher.”
When Jiang Meishu heard this, she immediately wanted to change, "I want the one with the free space."
She didn't care about the river view, she only cared about the usable area. After all, these usable areas could be converted into money in the end. As for the river view, she wondered if it could help her cultivate immortality.
"Then we'll need three buildings."
Li Chengdong was very professional and immediately took Jiang Meishu to the next building. Qiao Jiahui next to him was feeling lazy and didn't want to go, but Liang Qiurun gave him a cold look and he immediately lost his laziness and became full of energy.
"Brother Li, this is my sister-in-law, please don't cheat her."
Qiao Jiahui still has to take the court at the critical moment.
"That's natural."
After going to Building 3, Jiang Meishu looked at a 50-square-meter apartment, which actually came with a balcony and a kitchen, totaling 6 square meters.
It was the third floor again, Jiang Meishu was really satisfied.
"That's it."
"Help me calculate the price. I want both of them." She asked casually, "By the way, can I get a loan?"
Li Chengdong said subconsciously, "Of course, now in Hong Kong, the down payment for buying a house is 20%, and the loan interest rate is 1.95%. Do you want a loan?"
When Jiang Meishu heard the interest rate, she was stunned for a long time. "How much?"
"One point ninety-five."
Jiang Meishu thought that this was too low and she had to take out a loan.
Money is so valuable nowadays, so if you can get a loan, you should definitely take it.
"Can you help me calculate how much the down payment for these two houses will be and how much the monthly loan will be?"
Li Chengdong tapped away on his calculator. "The down payment for that 35-square-meter apartment is 12,600 yuan. Based on a 20-year loan, that's 98 yuan per month."
Jiang Meishu had an idea in her mind, "What about the other set?"
"The other one is 90,000 yuan, with a down payment of 18,000 yuan and monthly payments of 120 yuan."
Jiang Meishu quickly calculated, after finishing the down payment, she calculated the monthly payment, and she found that even if she bought ten such houses.
The monthly loan is only about a thousand yuan.
Compared to their current earning power, this loan is obviously not worth mentioning.
Thinking of this, Jiang Meishu no longer hesitated and immediately said to the other party, "Give me ten houses like this!"
As soon as these words fell, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Liang Qiurun lowered his brows and said nothing.
Li Chengdong was slightly shocked. "Miss Jiang, how many sets do you want?"
Jiang Meishu grabbed Liang Qiurun's hand and said, "We want ten sets."
"All of them need to be between 35 and 50 square meters."
Qiao Jiahui next to him subconsciously said, "Sister-in-law, are you crazy? Can you live in all of them if I buy ten houses?"
Jiang Meishu, "I'm not crazy, I just want ten sets."
She turned to look at Liang Qiurun, "Lao Liang, is this okay?"
Liang Qiurun didn't say yes or no, but asked her, "Is it possible?"
Jiang Meishu hummed and whispered, "I'll take a gamble."
"Then buy ten units." He calculated that their dividends from Hongtai might be enough to pay off all the loans in two or three years.
From this perspective, it is not particularly dangerous.
Qiao Jiahui subconsciously said, "Brother Qiurun, my sister-in-law is crazy, are you crazy too?"
"Normally, a person in Hong Kong would only stay in one apartment with one bed. Isn't it a waste of money to buy so many and put them here?"
This is even more terrifying than investing in box office poison Chen Keshan.
Liang Qiurun didn't answer him.
Instead, Jiang Meishu asked, "Jiahui, do you want to buy it?"
Qiao Jiahui was stunned for a moment. "I'm not as crazy as you. It's like money comes from the wind."
Seeing that he didn't want it, Jiang Meishu was not surprised. She said to Li Chengdong, "Help me buy ten sets, and then I will pay the down payment and take out a loan for them all."
Seeing her confident look, Qiao Jiahui gritted his teeth and said, "I want ten sets too."
"I'll pay in full, no loan."
Jiang Meishu, "..."
