What followed went exceptionally smoothly, thanks to the help of the Peninsula Hotel staff. The police sent someone to their hotel room to take their photos, and the ID cards were then printed and delivered directly to their hotel room.
Hong Kong identity cards in the 1960s were made of adhesive paper. The front of the card had the holder's photo and left thumbprint, while the holder's name and other personal information were printed on the back.
When the HSBC representatives arrived at the hotel, they checked Song Ziqing's identity documents in Shanghai and accepted her suggestion to transfer all her savings from the Shanghai HSBC bank to the Hong Kong HSBC bank, so she wouldn't have to worry about her family's savings being confiscated.
She had been hesitant to go to the bank before, worried that someone was watching her. After all, the Song family had a deposit of five or six million in HSBC, which was a truly frightening amount in those days.
She feared that before she could withdraw her money, news that the Song family had millions in HSBC would spread throughout Shanghai.
She remembered that her father had told her that their family's deposits in HSBC had long been transferred to Hong Kong, and as long as they didn't inquire about the specifics, their deposits would be safe and no one would know.
Asking that question is tantamount to courting death.
After her previous life was reborn, she planned to smuggle herself to Hong Kong, and the ring space was the safe haven she found for herself.
However, she encountered Lin Chengyu, who had also been reborn, and her mission failed before it even began!
That night, Song Ziqing and Lin Chengyu slept in the same suite. Since they were in an unfamiliar place, they felt it was unsafe to stay separately and felt safer staying together.
That night, the two were in an unfamiliar environment and couldn't fall asleep, so they lay down on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, and started watching Hong Kong programs.
Television and television programs in this era were extremely boring. Song Ziqing glanced at them and lost interest. He then turned on the phone and said to Lin Chengyu, "Xiaoyu, let's go to Taiping Mountain again tomorrow to see if we can return to Hainan from where we came from."
“Great! It just so happens that many of my suitcases are still in Hainan, and they contain a lot of good stuff. If we leave them in Hainan, they might get stolen by the villagers in the long run.”
The people of Shengang Village are not only members of the Song clan, but also people with other surnames. Among these people, there are quite a few petty thieves. In his previous life, many of Lin Chengyu's clothes were stolen by those people.
Song Ziqing never lived in Shengang Village for an extended period. Each time he returned, he would only stay at home for a few days, and the longest stay was never more than seven days.
I really didn't know there were petty thieves in the village.
However, she also understood the rampant petty theft that occurred during the reform and opening up period in the 1980s and 90s.
The two of them talked for a while and then fell asleep on the sofa.
The next day, the two had a delicious breakfast at the Peninsula Hotel, then took a taxi to Victoria Peak. They stopped the taxi halfway up the mountain, and Song Ziqing pulled Lin Chengyu up the mountain towards the woods they had been in before.
It took the two of them less than half an hour to find the spot. They went to the grass where they had fallen the day before and stood there for a long time, but there was no reaction.
After walking around the area a few more times, the two of them remained unchanged. Song Ziqing then pulled Lin Chengyu down into the grass, arranging them in the same way they had done when they arrived yesterday.
Five minutes later, seeing her dejected expression, Lin Chengyu quickly comforted her, "Ziqing, it seems we can't go back anytime soon. Should we buy this land? Otherwise, if someone else buys it, we won't be able to find our way home!"
Song Ziqing, who had just been feeling a bit melancholic, quickly stood up after Lin Chengyu's words. "Yes, the issue you raised is very important. Let's go to a real estate agency and find someone to buy land and houses. The Hong Kong property market is still relatively cheap recently. If we buy a few more plots of land, even if we don't do real estate in the future, the land value will still increase more than money kept in the bank."
Ever since Song Ziqing received the Song family's savings from the bank last night, she discovered that her family's savings, which amounted to several million yuan a few years ago, had now dwindled to less than ten million yuan, and she felt that her family had suffered a terrible loss!
Hong Kong has a large population and limited land, so buying land is much more cost-effective than depositing money in the bank. She plans to convert all her bank savings into houses and land.
The two returned to Central. It was getting late, so they found a Chinese restaurant, had lunch, and then went straight back to the Peninsula Hotel.
Song Ziqing vaguely remembered that the HSBC manager who came last night said that HSBC not only has the function of depositing and withdrawing money, but its most powerful feature is that it can solve all the problems of the rich.
So instead of going to the bank herself, she went back to the hotel and called them, asking them to bring her the land HSBC owned near Victoria Peak and Repulse Bay so she could take a look. She wanted to pick a few plots as an investment.
This time, after learning about her needs, Manager Zhang from HSBC brought several people to the hotel with him, along with a lot of land-related information. Song Ziqing first looked for vacant land on Victoria Peak and found that the land they wanted most was not with HSBC. Song Ziqing felt a headache coming on.
She looked at Lin Chengyu with some anxiety, but he gave her a reassuring look, which put her at ease. Song Ziqing didn't really like business; she felt it would be better for her to study art instead of going into business.
Although Song Ziqing did not have professional art training in painting and design in her previous life, she studied traditional Chinese painting from a young age. It was because she studied traditional Chinese painting from a young age and was trained by famous teachers that she was immersed in her own world, which fostered her overly proud and arrogant personality.
Song Ziqing plans to take advantage of her youth to study oil painting in Western countries and combine Chinese and Western styles. Of course, she does not intend to completely give up business. She also plans to make investments, not only in Lin Chengyu, but also in the world.
She wanted to be an investment hero behind the scenes, and then an art queen in the spotlight.
She loves painting and photography. She believes that no matter how much money you earn, it won't last for many years. Art is different. If one day her paintings are appreciated by everyone, her name will be passed down for a very long time along with her works.
At this moment, Song Ziqing felt a little regretful that her predecessor's previous works had not been preserved. They had all been confiscated by the people who ransacked the house, who considered them to be the property of capitalist roaders. Just thinking about it made her feel a little heartbroken.
However, since she had a different soul, even though she retained the memories and abilities of her predecessor, she felt that those works did not entirely belong to her, and she could start over.
