Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 199 199: Bai Yuechang’s rich family fortune!
"what?"

"what?"

Baifanyu kept exclaiming. He had no other purpose in coming here. He just wanted to see how powerful the house his uncle bought was, so that he could have some dignity when he went out to blow water.

Yes, the poor old widower didn’t know that this house was bought by a black-hearted cotton…

The white rice fish screamed: "You spent another 500 million to buy a brewery?"

"What kind of family do you have? Can you afford to make money like this?"

The sound was so loud that Bai Yuechang, who was actually hiding next to her, trotted out. She looked at Gao Yao with her eyes, wow, her husband went out to spend money again?
"Dad, I want you to act in a measured way."

Baifanyu couldn't help but lectured: "500 million, this is 500 million, what's so good about a brewery?"

"I won't drink anyway."

Bai Yuechang raised her voice: "Do you have any objections to what you mean?"

Baifanyu was short of breath: "No, no, it's not me who's losing anyway."

He squinted at Gao Yao: "Don't you know that there are several breweries opened on this island? There is only one of them now. Young man, money is not spent like this these days."

Bai Yuechang on the side didn't take it seriously. She said quietly: "What's the big deal? You have money anyway."

Baifanyu vomited blood, his eyes turned black with anger, and he immediately screamed and left.

Gao Yao quickly stopped him and smiled apologetically: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, listen to me, my son-in-law will naturally not do any loss-making business."

It is a city with a population of several million, and most of them are young people who work hard to sell gas. And it is the only local brewery.

Can this be a loss?

"Although it is said that a pot of wine brings happiness to each other."

At that time, most Chinese people were fond of drinking Tang wine (rice wine). The early Tang wines included: Acanthopanax bark, Lu wine, double steaming, triple steaming, glutinous rice wine, Yubingshao, red rice, Atractylodes wine, lychee wine, green plum wine, and Maogen wine. , chicken bone wine and tiger bone papaya wine, etc.

The selling price per catty ranges from 50 cents to 100 cents (1 Hong Kong dollar), which is a bargain.

But the beer now sold by breweries is only HK$1.1 per pint. It is fresher, and it also cools down, relieves heat, quenches thirst, and relieves fatigue...

Gao Yao talked eloquently: "Father-in-law, you won't sweat while sitting in the office and pointing out the rivers."

"But these brothers outside are different. They have to work hard and sweat profusely every time they finish their work, in a hot place like this island."

"Except for real drunkards, I believe most people are willing to drink some beer to refresh themselves."

This is a rule of thumb, because it was like this in later generations. Those who worked hard often preferred to drink some beer during their breaks.

Only when I go home at night can I get some rice wine and have a few sips.

To be honest, beer is simply the enemy of rice wine. It has a lower alcohol content and is easier for both men and women to tolerate. It also tastes good. At least it is not spicy.

"is it?"

Baifanyu was dubious about what he said, but he felt that there was some truth in it. At least more of his subordinates seemed to like to drink beer.

"But there are so many imported foreign beers, how do you deal with them?"

Gao Yao said with a smile: "Competition is always inevitable. Mr. Ruttonji suggested that I replace it with new equipment. I deeply agree and plan to purchase equipment from outside."

"Then the beer we produce will taste better, be local, and the price will definitely be cheaper than outside."

Baifanyu retorted: "Why do you think it must be cheaper than outside?"

"Father-in-law, that's the cost of producing beer."

"We have less transportation fees and tariffs than other countries. How can it not be cheaper?"

Hong Kong Island has always had a tax on tobacco and alcohol. If it is shipped in from outside, there will be an additional tax. How can its price not be high?
"Listening to what you said, it seems to make some sense."

Baifanyu yelled: "Forget it, forget it, it's your blessing anyway, I just want to eat carrots and worry less."

Just as the banquet was delivered, Baifanyu stood up and said, "Eat, eat, this big thing is not as important as filling your stomach."

At that time, Baifanyu was also a barefoot man. It was not easy for him to get to where he is today. What he always cared about most was to have enough food.

In fact, Lin Jing has already hired a chef, but because Bai Fanyu likes to eat large groups of fins and is fond of making friends, Bai Yuechang called it the Big Three Yuan Noodles.

“Eat it again and again, it’s always on time.”

Baifanyu ate very quickly, and after several drinking experiences, he wisely refused to ask Gao for a drink, so the fight was naturally over quickly.

"My son-in-law."

Of course Baifanyu didn't come all the way here just to give someone away. He said, "What did you tell me last time?"

"HSBC?"

Bai Fanyu clapped the table with joy: "That's why I often tell people, my uncle is as smart as a monkey."

"dad."

Bai Yuechang was angry.

Baifanyu quickly changed his mind: "He is as smart as a monkey."

The corner of Gao Yao's mouth twitched. It was the same as if it had been changed. He said: "Father-in-law, there is definitely no problem with the HSBC loan."

"But people need a mortgage, and it has to be in a legitimate industry."

"learn."

The white rice fish is fished out, which means that it is mainly from the side. In Longcheng, should he be allowed to open a factory?
He said proudly: "Wonderful son-in-law, I didn't build your father-in-law."

"Over the years, we have also started some small industries outside."

"Hey."

Bai Fanyu said: "I have some tenement buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei. They have been rented out. Is it not difficult to get some money as a mortgage?"

"It's not difficult."

Gao Yao asked smoothly: "How many are there?"

These words stopped Bai Fanyu. He turned around and asked his precious daughter: "Good girl, how many are there?"

"You know the rent you charge."

Gao Yao blinked his eyelids and realized that Yue Chang was still working as a housekeeper.

Bai Yuechang blushed a little when Gao Yao saw her, and so did her father. Wasn't it the dowry given to her? Why did she have to use it as a mortgage again?
Hearing this, he chuckled and said, "About... about 50 buildings, right?"

"what?"

Gao Yao stood up and looked at the opposite side with dumbfounded eyes. Damn, there are 50 tenement buildings in Yau Ma Tei and Tsim Sha Tsui?
The rent for the first floor is 200 per month, and the rent for the fifth floor is 5. Even if it is discounted in half, the monthly rent collected is 2.5?
No wonder the little girl Yue Chang didn't blink an eye when she spent her daily expenses, and even said she didn't want to give her pocket money.

No wonder, no wonder, what kind of family is this?
Bai Yuechang lowered her head when she was looked at, and she said in a huff, "Husband, I didn't mean to hide it from you."

"What are you panicking about?"

Baifanyu was angry and complained: "You haven't given me a grandson yet, let me make it clear. If there are no grandsons, there's no telling whether these things are yours."

"Yes, yes, my father-in-law is right."

Gao Yao had already figured out the nature of eating fish and being like a donkey, so the old widower used different methods to promote the birth. He immediately said with a smile: "That is a high-quality asset. I will make a call when the time comes. Father-in-law, just give me your name."

"How about I take you with me when I have free time?"

"You can pull it down."

Baifanyu said: "You can call me later and I will come over later."

"Then you see what's needed over there? I'll take you there as well."

"Okay, okay." Gao Yao asked, "Father-in-law, why are you so anxious? What's the deal?"

"Hey, you're not Lao He from Haojiang."

Although Baifanyu was dissatisfied with the uncle for eating his daughter to death, he admired his ability and said, "Lao He and Luo Bao opened a He'an Gold Company."

"This old boy got the gold franchise. He told me that there was a price difference between gold in Hong Kong Island and Haojiang, and he asked me to lend a hand if I was interested."

"I thought this old boy couldn't use this to dazzle me, so I just let him speculate in the market."

Speculating in the market is actually speculating on gold. In the past few years, this business has actually been the most profitable, it is simply a money printing machine.

Of course, it is easy for people to get trapped in a business that is too profitable. For example, many tycoons from Shanghai a few years later were ruined by local merchants because of gold speculation.

Gao Yao nodded slightly. He did know a little bit. The fourth uncle behind him was able to become a rich man with 1000 Hong Kong dollars because of speculation with He Xian.

"It's good that my father-in-law is sure."

Gao Yao advised: "But it is best to accept this kind of money as soon as it is good. There is no need to earn the last copper."

"Know, know."

Baifanyu's eyes widened: "I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. How can I not understand this truth?"

"dad!"

Baifanyu lowered his voice and muttered: "Okay, okay, dear son-in-law, I ask you to make a phone call."

Recently, under the auspices of Sandus, HSBC has made a lot of investments in Gao Yao, and they are all big money. Now it is simply trivial to get a mortgage loan.

Gao Yao quickly turned back to the restaurant with a cheerful expression on his face: "Father-in-law, you can just bring the land deed with you when the time comes."

"Bring another interpreter over."

"well."

Baifanyu is just for money, and he is ready to leave.

Gao Yao asked with a smile: "Father-in-law, actually the brewery has a very good future. According to my opinion, why don't you also invest in it?"

50 buildings, that's a loan worth several million, why not put some of it into the production of the brewery?

“When the time comes we can expand the scale and the cost will be lower.”

Baifanyu blinked his eyelids and shouted angrily: "How dare you wait for me here?"

"Okay, you actually caught a sheep and worked hard to save it."

"dad."

Bai Yuechang was not happy anymore. She shook Bai Fanyu's arm and said, "What you do is a risky business, and Brother Yao does it for your own good."

"He was doing it for money, just to get my money."

Damn it!Baifanyu thought that this black-hearted cotton was not going to work anymore, and he would have to ask them to create a grandson as soon as possible. Considering the future grandson, he could only be unhappy and said: "Okay, okay, I will invest 100 million when the time comes."

"Now, let me explain in advance that this 100 million is for my grandson."

"Thank you dad."

Bai Yuechang raised her chin to Gao Yao proudly.

Baifanyu rushed out of the Gao Mansion angrily. He couldn't come to this place anymore. It was against him. Damn it, a lot of money would be taken away every time.

If you continue like this, will you drink the northwest wind?
Thinking back to that black-hearted woman in my family, who was so easy-going, she wanted to cry but had no tears. If I had known she should have hired more husbands for her when she was little, read more Western books, and now she can marry and obey her husband, damn!

Isn’t that a waste of money?
"Honey, am I good?"

Bai Yuechang said happily: "It's true that dad, even at such an old age, still loves to take risks."

"That area of ​​Haojiang is full of sky and earth. Did he think it was when he was young?"

Although Bai Yuechang is a black-hearted person, she doesn't want her father to escort the boat across the sea, so she has to cooperate with Gao Yao to extract money.

"Father-in-law wants to go in person?"

Bai Yuechang hesitated and said, "Maybe."

Gao Yao wondered if his father-in-law was very confident in Haojiang, so he asked, "My father-in-law has a good relationship with that He Xian?"

Bai Yuechang nodded: "Very good."

She said: "At that time, my father took a boat to do business with Lianchang in Haojiang, and I met many people there."

"It wasn't a war at that time."

Bai Yuechang racked her brains to recall: "At that time, the Hong Kong dollar seemed to fluctuate frequently. Later, we only had military notes, and the Haojiang side could only issue its own banknotes."

Yes, before that, the Hong Kong dollar was popular in Haojiang, but the Hong Kong dollar gradually lost its role after the fall of Hong Kong and Kowloon (the little devils issued military notes to replace the Hong Kong dollar), and the currency circulation in the market became seriously scarce.

This not only affects the development of Haojiang's industrial and commercial business, but also affects the lives of residents.

At that time, people in Haojiang's financial industry discussed and discussed that they could only issue their own banknotes. After hard work, they won the right to issue banknotes.

But the problem arises. Haojiang does not have the ability to produce banknote paper, so it can only buy it from Hong Kong Island.

The problem is that since the fall of Hong Kong Island on December 1941, 12, the Japanese invaders have already blocked the sea, so the only way is to sneak across.

At that time, there were not only Datianer but also Little Devil's patrol boats on the sea. Not to mention transporting goods, I was afraid that even my life and property could not be saved!
In later generations, the gambling king He Xin also began to make a fortune at this time. He made his fortune by helping CIMB escort ships for maritime transactions, and once he almost ate noodles.

To be honest, those who went to sea at that time really put life and death behind them.

Bai Yuechang sighed: "Lao Dou is a man who wants to save face. He Xian asked someone to find Lao Dou and praise him to the best of his ability. So what should I do? I can only help with my head."

Gao Yao smiled slightly, hugged Bai Yuechang, and said, "Honey, there are some things that you can't help."

Yes, the country is ruined and the family is destroyed. In that kind of environment, how many choices do you have?

"Ah."

Bai Yuechang said: "At that time, I waited in front of my house every day."

"I don't know if Lao Dou can come back every day."

Gao Yao didn't speak, he just rubbed Bai Yuechang's head and listened quietly.

"There is money printing paper over there, and Uncle He has become a celebrity in the financial industry. Not only is he well-spoken among foreigners, he is also respected by people on the road."

"That's no wonder."

Gao Yao said: "Maybe Mr. He wants to repay his father-in-law's love because of this."

"I would rather not have this love."

Bai Yuechang muttered: "I don't have to worry about food or drink at home, so I have to take risks."

Gao Yao smiled and said, "I think my father-in-law is so fierce, it must be because he can't sit still."

"do not be afraid."

Gao Yao was relieved: "I heard that Mr. Na He is very famous in Haojiang. Since such a person asks his father-in-law to make a living, he will not put his father-in-law in danger."

"Otherwise it will make people laugh for no reason."

"That's all I can think of."

Bai Yuechang said quietly: "Anyway, if there is even a little bit of danger, there will be no next time."

She followed: "I told my father that he will open the banquet for the Jianghu people."
