A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 109 Repatriation
Cao Zhihua came to the best northwest corner and said,

"Along the north and west sides, I want to divide this place into a general manager's office, three director's offices, a small conference room, the general manager's office is 50 square meters, the director's office is 30 square meters, a small conference room is 30 square meters, and a bathroom, men's and women's bathrooms To separate them, we need to have three squat toilets, can we design them?"

The designer took out a tape measure and began to measure the area, then said:

"Boss Cao, if we adopt a 4.2-meter bay and a depth of 7 meters, we can design it. But with your design, the office space in the middle will only be about 150 square meters."

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and replied:

"150 square meters is enough. There is no need to lay tiles on the floor. Just use cement to smooth it. When the time comes, I will use blankets to cover the entire floor."

"Okay, Boss Cao."

Cao Zhihua walked around the office again. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that there was nothing he had missed, and he said:

"Boss Wang, what's the fastest way you can produce design drawings?"

Wang Fanghua thought for a while, looked at the designer, and said:

"I'll give you the design drawings the day after tomorrow at the earliest. What do you think?"

"Okay, let's leave each other's phone numbers. After your drawings come out, call me in advance and we'll make an appointment to discuss the rest."

When Wang Fanghua heard Cao Zhihua's cheerful words, he smiled happily and said:

"Okay, then let's go back and start work first, and then we'll contact you after the drawings come out."

"Okay, see you then, Boss Wang."

After Wang Fanghua left, Cao Zhihua called Lou En, locked the door, and prepared to go back.

After getting in the car, Cao Zhihua said to Lou En:

"Lou En, don't tell anyone about my company. If anyone asks, just say that we drove all over Hong Kong Island."

"Okay, sir."

"Lou En, you drive me around Hong Kong Island. It's been a few days since I've been here, and I haven't taken a closer look at Hong Kong Island."

"Okay, sir."

As a time traveler, Cao Zhihua doesn't need Lou En to give advice or anything, he just needs him to be obedient and honest.

Lou En drove the car first and drove around the entire Central.

Seeing that Cao Zhihua didn't say anything, he continued driving and prepared to take Cao Zhihua around Causeway Bay.

The current gap between the rich and the poor in Hong Kong Island is extremely wide. It is true that rich families are full of wine and meat, and the roads are freezing to death.

Along the way, Cao Zhihua saw the people at the bottom of Hong Kong Island. Many of them were still wearing the clothes of the Republic of China. They were completely poor. Basically, the whole family worked together, which was just enough for these people's daily life.

Cao Zhihua remembers that in his previous life, 1960 was the year when Hong Kong began to take off. Some entrepreneurs on Hong Kong Island began to target the strong demand for some low-value-added industrial products in the beautiful country, and began to use the cheap labor on Hong Kong Island to vigorously develop clothing, plastics, Hardware, leather and other industrial products were exported to the beautiful country, earning a lot of foreign exchange. When the Hong Kong government had more money, it started infrastructure projects such as tunnels and public housing.

Hong Kong Island's textile and clothing industry is now very good, and it has made a name for itself in the international market, especially the handmade clothing industry. Many Hollywood stars have come to Hong Kong Island to customize their clothes.

However, Hong Kong Island's clothing industry has not yet reached its peak. By 1965, Hong Kong Island's clothing industry already accounted for half of the world's clothing market. Yes, it ranked first in the world in terms of export volume, accounting for 50% of the market.

Therefore, Cao Zhihua plans to take advantage of the trend and combine the actual situation of Hong Kong Island, starting from the real estate and clothing industries, to mobilize his own funds and quickly control social resources.As soon as Cao Zhihua arrived at the streets of Causeway Bay, he was blocked by pedestrians on the street. Cao Zhihua saw in the car that the police were pressing many Chinese people to get on the car. There were many Chinese people nearby, taking food and drink and throwing them into the car.

Cao Zhihua frowned, pressed down the car window, and asked a passerby in his 40s next to him:

"Hey, fellow, what's going on? Is the water blocked?"

When a passerby saw Cao Zhihua sitting in such a luxurious car, he knew he must be the big boss, so he quickly replied:

"Boss, isn't there a great famine in the north? Many people have fled to Hong Kong Island. I heard our manager read in the newspaper that there are now more than 300 million people in Hong Kong Island. It is really impossible to squeeze in. Now there are people everywhere on the mountains. They were randomly built wooden houses, so the Hong Kong Island government sent people to send back the captured fleeers."

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and continued to ask:
"Are these people surrounding the streets throwing food for the deported personnel?"

"Yes, boss, you also know that there is no shortage of supplies in Hong Kong Island, so everyone wants to do their part to help our compatriots."

Cao Zhihua took out 2 Hong Kong dollars and handed it to the middle-aged uncle and said
"Fellow, thank you. You can take this."

When the middle-aged uncle saw that he would receive a tip after answering a few sentences, he was very grateful and kept thanking him.

Cao Zhihua didn't pay much attention to him. After pressing the window up, he took out 200 yuan and handed it to Lou En and said:
"Lou En, go buy some water and dry food and throw it to the people in the car. We will also do our part. You can buy as much as you can. Buy as much as possible."

"Master, it's too chaotic here. It's not safe for you to be alone in the car."

Cao Zhihua said:
"It's okay. There are so many people here. What can happen to me? Just go."

Lou En had no choice but to take the money and run to the nearby department store to buy supplies.

Cao Zhihua sighed, feeling a little helpless. The time traveler was not a god, so he was really helpless when encountering such a thing.

Now Hong Kong Island feels that there is no room for people to live in, so these people should be sent back.

After the Hong Kong Island government reaps the dividends brought by these cheap labor forces, it will start to think of ways to attract refugees from various countries.

After Lou En finished delivering the supplies, he came to the car and said:

"Master, I sent supplies three times and all 200 yuan has been spent."

Cao Zhihua nodded, seeing this scene at the scene, he had no intention of continuing to wander, so he said:

"Very good, let's turn around and go to Repulse Bay, find a place to eat there, and then go see how Ezi and the others are doing with their shopping. It's almost 2 o'clock, and I just had breakfast, and I'm a little hungry. .”

"Okay, sir."

Cao Zhihua thought of the afternoon tea he had at the Repulse Bay Hotel last time and it tasted good, so he said:
"Go to the Repulse Bay Hotel. Let's try the Western food there today and see how it tastes."

"Okay, sir."

After having a delicious steak with Lou En at the Repulse Bay Hotel, Cao Zhihua came to his home in Repulse Bay.

When he entered the gate, he saw many workers moving goods into the house in the underground garage, so he signaled Lou En to park the car directly on the front lawn and enter the house to check the situation.

Lou Xiao'e and Chen Xueru were in the room instructing the workers to put various supplies into the designated rooms. When they saw Cao Zhihua, they came over happily and pulled Cao Zhihua chattering non-stop.
