Chapter 20 Entering Hong Kong



"Gao Qi, I will probably be away from Beijing for half a month.

You should hurry up and exchange the materials given to you for jadeite. I will also give you another batch of materials. Part of it can be exchanged for small yellow croaker, jewelry, antique paintings and calligraphy, and precious medicinal materials, and the other part can be exchanged for real estate. I will come to see you again in half a month.

Also, please arrange for someone to help look after my house while I'm away."

After separating from Gao Qi, Huo Qiqi turned around and returned to the villa.

When she first came here, Huo Qiqi discovered that the China in this parallel world was very similar to the world she lived in before. The similarities lay in the process of historical development, but there were also differences. Some historical figures had never appeared in this world.

"System, today is the second day of the Lunar New Year. We don't have much time left to deploy to Hong Kong. I want to use the Grand Teleport Trial function once and go to Hong Kong."

"Okay host, please set the location on the map first."

Judging from the shape of the map alone, the Hong Kong in this parallel world is similar to the Hong Kong in the original world.

Following the system's instructions, Huo Qiqi selected Victoria Harbour as the positioning point.

"Ding, the host has used the trial version of the Great Teleportation once, with 29 remaining. This Great Teleportation is estimated to take a quarter of an hour. Please put on your eye mask and take a rest."

About a quarter of an hour later, Huo Qiqi found herself in Victoria Harbour.

Huo Qiqi, who was staying in the space, looked at the Hong Kong in this parallel time and space and felt very emotional. Although it was only the 1970s, compared with the mainland, this place was already very developed, with high-rise buildings everywhere, traffic and people, and it was very lively.

Huo Qiqi was very clear about the purpose of her trip to Hong Kong, which was to buy a house and land, and to start a company if she had the chance. First, she needed to exchange some Hong Kong currency.

After Huo Qiqi changed into clothes with a Hong Kong and Taiwan style in the space, she slipped out of the space when no one was around.

Before Huo Qiqi traveled through time, she had dealt with many people from Hong Kong and even learned Hong Kong dialect. Her pronunciation is very standard.

After asking passersby about several major banks in Hong Kong, Huo Qiqi planned to go to the largest one and use small yellow croaker to exchange for Hong Kong currency.

As soon as Huo Qiqi appeared in the bank lobby, she attracted everyone's attention, because Huo Qiqi was so beautiful, with gorgeous clothes and appropriate matching. In addition, she was 168 cm tall, graceful, with fair and translucent skin, extremely soft hair, and an elegant figure. She was particularly bright and charming, dazzling, noble, elegant, confident and tasteful.

A well-dressed lobby manager was also drawn to Huo Qiqi, but then regained consciousness. Being a lobby manager at Hong Kong's largest bank required exceptional concentration. The lobby manager quickly approached Huo Qiqi. "Dear guest, how can I assist you?"

Arriving at the VIP room, Huo Qiqi opened the small suitcase she carried with her. Inside the suitcase were 50 small yellow croakers, which looked very good.

When the lobby manager saw the small yellow croaker, his eyes lit up.

"Dear guest, do you want to exchange or store these items?"

"Exchange it into Hong Kong currency. If you are sincere, I will exchange more than just these 50 small yellow croakers. By the way, you can call me Miss Huo."

While drinking coffee, Huo Qiqi leisurely watched the lobby manager use professional instruments to check the quality and weight of the small yellow croaker.

After more than ten minutes, the lobby manager sat down on the sofa across from Huo Qiqi. "Ms. Huo, to be honest, our bank has indeed received instructions from head office to collect gold. Your small yellow croaker is of excellent quality. Each one is 30 grams, and we can offer you 30 Hong Kong dollars per gram. For 50 small yellow croakers, we can get 45,000 Hong Kong dollars."

Seeing Huo Qiqi's lack of reaction, the lobby manager continued to explain, "Ms. Huo, the exchange rate we offer is the highest in Hong Kong. If you need to exchange for small yellow croaker later, the price will still be the same."

"There are a few bodyguards outside the door. Please call them in, Mr. Manager." Huo Qiqi said lightly.

Yes, after Huo Qiqi found out the information of several banks, she contacted the security company with the best reputation and the strongest strength in Hong Kong.

When the lobby manager heard what Huo Qiqi said, he became even more excited. This time, he was sure to get a big commission.

When all the suitcases appeared in the VIP room, the lobby manager quickly arranged for the bank's security to protect the VIP room and reported the matter to the president. When President Tom saw the room full of suitcases, he greeted Huo Qiqi enthusiastically.

The bank president dispatched over ten bank personnel to inspect the small yellow croaker. After an hour's testing, they found the fish to be of excellent quality. President Tom, evidently more assertive, lowered the exchange rate to 35 yuan per gram to appease a major client like Huo Qiqi. Huo Qiqi sold a total of 1,600 small yellow croaker. Based on President Tom's exchange rate, the yellow croaker sold for 1.68 million Hong Kong dollars. At the president's recommendation, Huo Qiqi deposited 1.6 million yuan and took 80,000 yuan in cash.

After leaving the bank, Huo Qiqi went to a security company, paid the bodyguard fee, and hired two additional female bodyguards who were very skilled and had been on the battlefield to be responsible for her safety in Hong Kong for the next half month.

"Miss, where are we going next?"

"Next stop, we're going to have lunch."

Huo Qiqi and her group of three found a seafood restaurant with high-end decoration and many customers. After ordering some special seafood in the lobby, the three of them entered the private room, found a good seat, and just sat down when they heard a noise at the door of the room.
