Hong Kong Comprehensive: Longevity from Uncle Nine

Chapter 53: Boss during the day, Taoist priest at night
In order to conform to his identity, the house Zhang Sheng rented was a single-family villa.

Originally, Zhang Sheng thought that the housing price was very expensive, but it turned out that this western-style three-story villa with its own yard and parking lot was only sold for fifteen gold bars.

As for renting, it is also relatively cheap, as long as 150 oceans a month.

In Shanghai, renting a house is more popular than buying a house. After all, there is no such thing as a mortgage to buy a house, and all purchases are made in full.

Fifteen gold bars are worth five or six thousand oceans, and generally few people can afford such a large amount of money at once.

After renting the house, it was natural to find a nanny, and he didn't plan to find a local one, lest they know what he was doing.

It is best to find a Westerner, who is more aggressive.

Think about it, don't worry about your business, when guests come, you foreign butler, you speak authentic Western dialect when you come forward, and others will think you have a lot of background.

You have to hire a third bodyguard in front of the door. This is the style, especially the locals love it.

It's the Japanese pirates. Judging by the style of your family, you will be three points short before you even open your mouth.

Of course, this is all Zhang Sheng's own fantasy. In fact, the life of foreigners in Shanghai is still very nourishing, except for a small number of women.

For example, many British youths came to Shanghai from London and found that their wages had doubled and their living expenses were only half of what they used to be.

Eli Kadoorie, a British Jew, started his business with only five hundred dollars and became a famous banker in Shanghai.

British expatriates do not have to pay taxes, but also enjoy the protection of British laws and the army, and their lives are quite good.

In addition, the status of American expatriates in the Shanghai Concession became more important. There were as many as 700 people at one time, and almost all the restaurants and amusement parks here were contracted by them.

Also seeking employment opportunities, groups of Japanese pirates came to Shanghai to manage banks, set up factories, and operate stores, etc., and regarded this place as a "sacred place for gold rush" and "a paradise for adventurers."

And there are exiled Tsarist Russian nobles and asylum-seeking Jews.

After the October Revolution, tens of thousands of opponents fled to Shanghai. They were deprived of their nationality by the Bolsheviks and gathered in the French Concession.

Most of these Russian expatriates are well-educated, and many of them are outstanding doctors, engineers and artists, who built Joffre Road into the bustling "Nevsky Avenue".

The intelligent Jews also built churches and schools one after another, and their lives were relatively affluent.

Foreigners struggled and enjoyed themselves in the Shanghai Concession, and built many high-end social clubs. Among them, the "British General Club" was particularly luxurious, with a height of six floors and a 30-meter-long bar, where people sat around drinking and chatting.

The "German General Assembly" is a comprehensive entertainment center, including a dance hall, casino, billiard room, reading room, swimming pool, etc. It is equipped with detachable stepped seats and can accommodate up to [-] spectators.

Of course, there was also the underground sex trade here, which was later forced to end in the moral weathering campaign launched by the missionaries.

There are also foreigners who generally like sports, so there are many stadiums in the Shanghai Concession, and sports such as horse racing, rowing, track and field, and tennis are all brought over by foreigners.

Hongkou Park used to be an important sports venue, where many sports events were held.

Therefore, it is very difficult for Zhang Sheng to find a foreigner housekeeper, but Sikh bodyguards can be found.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng just hired an old woman to clean the house, with a monthly salary of 20 yuan.

This is already more than the average wage of workers.

The Sikh bodyguard is more expensive, thirty oceans a month.

After finishing all these, Zhang Sheng arrived at Citibank with the last two hundred gold bars.

As soon as Steve heard Zhang Sheng's arrival, he greeted him enthusiastically, and when he learned that Zhang Sheng was about to deposit a large sum of money, his face was full of smiles.

He said very attentively: "Dear Mr. Zhang, your car has arrived and can be picked up at any time. I don't know where else I can serve you?"

Zhang Sheng nodded and said, "Well done, Manager Steve, I knew it was a wise choice to choose you.

Coincidentally, I have one more thing to ask you to do. I want to set up a company, mainly in charge of medicinal materials. I hope to register an American offshore company as soon as possible, with an initial registration of [-] US dollars.

The name of the company is Tiancai Company. I hope Manager Steve can handle this matter as soon as possible. "

When Steve heard this, he was very happy. It’s good to start a company, and there will be more business contacts in the future.

He quickly said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang, this matter is on my shoulders, and it can be resolved within a week at most."

Zhang Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Well, I'm currently living in Villa No. 404, Baole'an Road. My home phone number is XXXX. Call me when you're done." (Note)
Then Steve respectfully sent Zhang Sheng off, and arranged for someone to help Zhang Sheng pick up the car.

This is not the first time Zhang Sheng has seen cars from the period of the Republic of China. After all, there are still many cars on the streets of Shanghai.

Of course, the Ford he bought was a bit ugly, similar to the Ford Model T, but it was already biased towards the Beetle.

Of course, if you buy Rolls-Royce, it is still very handsome, after all, you have already begun to pay attention to streamlined shape at this time.

Zhang Sheng got the car and went to the street. As for the driver's license, Steve had already taken care of it.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng drove directly back to his villa.

His villa comes with a small yard and a parking lot, so you don't have to worry about parking your car.

When he drove to the door of the house, he stretched out the window to signal, and the bodyguard quickly opened the door and let Zhang Sheng in.

Zhang Sheng said to the bodyguard: "Saji, I will see clearly later, this car belongs to our family."

Saji nodded quickly and said, "Understood, sir, I will never admit my mistake next time."

Zhang Sheng nodded with a smile and walked into the room.

As soon as he came back, Mama Wu approached very courteously and asked, "Sir, have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Sheng waved his hand and said, "I went to the bank to discuss something, and I came back in a hurry. I haven't eaten yet. Mama Wu, just cook some home-cooked food."

After instructing Mama Wu, Zhang Sheng was thinking about the company's affairs there.

The reason why the medicinal material company was chosen was not to make money, but mainly to acquire Tiancaidibao, at least decades of wild ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, Tianshan snow lotus, etc.

Anyway, with his current deposit of tens of thousands of dollars, he can still last for a while.

But he has to consider that the company has no income and will go bankrupt sooner or later.

So he had to find a way to maintain the company, at least to keep the company from collapsing.

Just in time, I'm going to visit the HK area at night, to do justice for the heavens, to steal from the rich and help the poor!
Hey, it's really not that Zhang Sheng is greedy for money, it's just that he doesn't want to see Japanese pirates take his family's money away.

After a while, Mama Wu cooked a few dishes and brought them up, Zhang Sheng then ate slowly.

He decided to play his own identity as an elite first.

During the day, he is the upper class and the boss of the company, and at night, he is a disciple of Maoshan who acts on behalf of the heavens!
