Wolf of Xiangjiang

Chapter 22 [Legend of Public Housing]

Saturday, September 1978, 4.

Today is April Fool's Day in the West, but 'Rainbow Village' is full of joy because Lin Zhengjie cashed in his 'loan and interest' ahead of schedule.

In Room 509 of Ziwei Building, Lin Zhengjie sat in front of a table with 418 million Hong Kong dollars in cash and a stack of loan information. He planned to pay off all the debts in advance, and called for the help of He Fangtang and other staff, as well as the testimony of his mother Li Cui'e and sister Lin Jiaxuan.

As for those who lent money to Lin Zhengjie, they all lined up from the door. Staff from Taifu Development maintained order, and the scene was quite spectacular.

The first person on the list was Aunt Nan on the same floor. Unfortunately, she only lent Lin Zhengjie a total of 3 Hong Kong dollars this time. She looked inside the door, and the thick Hong Kong dollars suddenly made her jealous in surprise.

She said to the person behind her, "There's so much money, my God, there's so much money on the table!"

Aunt Hua from behind quickly looked inside and exclaimed: "Several million Hong Kong dollars, I have never seen so much money!"

As the two of them passed on the news, the long queue got the news. Lin Zhengjie put all the cash on the table, looking very arrogant.

"Aunt Nan, you are the first to come in!"

"Ajie, I'm coming!"

Lin Zhengjie looked at Aunt Nan who was talking nonsense, and felt quite funny in his heart!

Of course, he also stole the show today. From now on, Rainbow Village will leave his legend!
"Aunt Nan, have you brought the loan agreement?"

"Bring it!"

Lin Zhengjie stacked two identical loan agreements and placed them in front of him.

"The total principal I borrowed from you is 3 Hong Kong dollars, and the interest is 1.35 Hong Kong dollars. Is this correct?"

"That's right! Ajie, you keep your word!"

Lin Zhengjie took out one he had ordered in advance, then handed it to Aunt Nan, and said: "Here is 4 Hong Kong dollars. When you take it, sign here and fingerprint it, and then you can count it next to it."

Aunt Nan looked at the thick wad of money and said something nice: "We are all old neighbors, I can trust you!" and signed and stamped the money.

Lin Zhengjie said politely: "Click, we are all relieved. OK, next one!"

In this way, Lin Zhengjie repaid all the loans one by one.

At this scene, He Fangtang suddenly understood how Lin Zhengjie became so prosperous.

It is simply unbelievable. Why do so many people believe in Lin Zhengjie? Why did Lin Zhengjie dare to borrow "45%" interest for four months?

The younger sister Lin Jiaxuan was also recruited by Lin Zhengjie. At this time, she was tearing up every loan agreement, packing the scraps in cardboard boxes, and cremating them later.

As the IOUs were shredded one by one, Li Cui'e's mood was relieved, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter.

In particular, every neighbor will say to Li Cui'e after receiving the money:
"Cui'e, you have raised a good son! He is very promising and will lead us all to make a fortune together."

"Ajie is so capable. He made so much money for me in less than four months!"

"A Cui, just wait and enjoy the blessings from now on!"

A neighbor suddenly asked: "Ajie, those people outside said they were your employees, but you have opened a company now?"

Lin Zhengjie said generously: "I opened a small company!"

"Ajie, you are so prosperous!"

"No, no, it's just a small company!"

"doing what?"

“I’ll do anything, as long as I make money.”

"Then do you still want to borrow money?"

"Uncle Cai, I don't want to borrow money now!"

Lin Zhengjie greeted everyone who lent him money with a smile. These people were all part of his rise.

Of course, he is also giving back to these neighbors. On that day, a total of 62 creditors were repaid, with the minimum being HK$1 and the maximum being HK$30 (family members of the society). The total loan principal of 288 million yuan and loan interest of 130 million yuan were all repaid.

Everyone who got the money happily thanked Lin Zhengjie and his family, and then rushed to the bank to make a deposit.

The next morning.

Many neighbors bought gifts and came to No. 509 Ziwei Building, only to find such a notice posted on the door.

"Dear neighbors, I (Lin Zhengjie) have moved my mother and sister to a new house on Hong Kong Island. I will return to Choi Choi Village to say goodbye to everyone one day!"

Neighbors carrying gifts immediately started talking at the door.

"I heard that Ajie has opened a company and now moves to a new house on Hong Kong Island. Where did he get so much money?"

"He takes a commission, 5 Hong Kong dollars for one million, 10 Hong Kong dollars for two million. I heard that 400 million Hong Kong dollars were issued yesterday, so isn't that 20 Hong Kong dollars!"

"That's right! This guy is so awesome. He made 20 Hong Kong dollars for free in four months. Now he can afford to open a company and live in a new house."

"I have known for a long time that Ajie is not a creature in the pond, but now he has become a dragon. Just look at it!"

"Tch, I heard that Ajie knew a rich woman who drove a sports car and a Mercedes-Benz and gave her a daughter for free."

"Ajie is lying to you. With his current status, he can look down on a rich woman with a daughter!"

"Maybe his identity was given by the rich woman!"

"I don't believe it! Ajie is not that kind of person!"

For a time, the "Legend of Rainbow Village" was aroused, and the words "Lin Zhengjie" became the spoken word of people here.

Hong Kong Island, Mid-Levels, Commonwealth Gardens.

After Lin Zhengjie's family paid off all their debts, they moved into the house that night. This house is more than 1000 square feet, but it is indeed rented by Lin Zhengjie, with a monthly rent of HK$4000.

Commonwealth Garden was developed by Commonwealth Properties, a subsidiary of Wheelock Group. It was formerly the mansion of the Taikoo comprador Mok Gansang. It was once a very famous top castle in the Mid-levels of Hong Kong. Today's Federal Garden consists of five residential buildings built on a platform.

In the living room, Lin Zhengjie was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.

Sure enough, Li Jiacheng was worried that public opinion would affect his reputation, so he asked a spokesperson of Cheung Kong Group to tell the media that Cheung Kong would not sell any Wharf stock, including Mr. Li Jiacheng, but planned to hold it for a long time.

With this news, Wharf's share price can stabilize at around HK$35.

Lin Zhengjie calculated his net worth. At present, his total capital has reached 1730 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 1500 million was earned from buying Wharf stocks, and the other 230 million Hong Kong dollars was earned from short selling (it has not yet been settled).

In four months, he made a huge profit of 1700 million. This first pot of gold was indeed extremely rich!
"Ajie, I don't think we should hire a servant now. I don't have to work now, so I can clean up this place more than enough!"

"Yes, brother, I can also help mom with housework."

Li Cui'e and Lin Jiaxuan came to Lin Zhengjie.

Lin Zhengjie put down the newspaper and said with a smile: "That's okay. I'll wait until I change the villa. The room is too small and it's inconvenient to have an outsider!"

Li Cui'e and Lin Jiaxuan were stunned. They had just moved into the mansion, and Lin Zhengjie was already talking about the villa.

However, considering Lin Zhengjie's recent performance, Li Cui'e knew that since she didn't understand, she shouldn't try to persuade him.

"Son, give me the 20 Hong Kong dollars, do you want to use it first?"

"Mom, the money I give you is my last resort. Although I will not borrow any more money when I invest now, I will put it all down. So, from now on, I will give you 5 Hong Kong dollars every month. In addition to your expenses, , just save it, invest nothing, just use it as my anchor."

Li Cui'e was overjoyed and said quickly: "You are right, I will save it for you!"

Lin Zhengjie warned again: "But in life, you have to be more generous. My son can make money now, so he doesn't want to live a hard life. Don't be stingy with your sister's expenses and your expenses. Making money is to change your life. quality instead of saving it all.”

Li Cui'e said: "I'll listen to you!"

In one sentence, it means that the power of this family has fallen into Lin Zhengjie's hands.

Of course, for Li Cui'e, she is very happy about her son's change of responsibility and confidence.
