Chapter 232: I'll Help You Make a Comeback
Compared to the relatively beautiful main block, this place can almost be described as a slum.
The low-rise houses are next to each other, and there are almost no gaps in between, which makes people feel oppressive.
The narrow streets often see dirty water accumulating and flowing, and from time to time it emits a rancid smell.
Street doors sometimes open suddenly, spilling a basin of dirty water from inside. If you're not careful, you'll be splashed on your body.
Lei Qianqian frowned, dodging the dirty water on the road from time to time, complaining as she walked.
"Doesn't it mean that Hong Kong Island is very rich, why is it like this? Look at this house, it's in tatters, there's not even a vacant lot. They build houses here, is there no such thing as floor area ratio?"
"Qianqian, don't complain. There are many poor people everywhere, and there are many low-level people here, and their lives are very hard, and they have to fight for survival every day. ”
"So many rich people don't know how to help these poor people? You see where they live, it's like a cage. Saying that we have housing difficulties there, I don't think it's as good as us mainlanders. ”
"Housing here is tight, many people live in rented public houses, and even if they have houses, the area is not large. ”
"The house here is very expensive, they have to buy a mortgage to buy a house, and pay the house every month. A lifetime of struggle for a house, often decades to repay the loan. ”
"That's to pay off your debts every day, what's the point of living??"
What's the point? A lot of people just live like this, and they're used to it. They don't seem to feel anything wrong with it, do they?
People, what they are afraid of is adaptation, and they will get used to it after a long time.
"Hucheng, where is this Xu Wenjie?"
"Soon, it's not far ahead. ”
In the first two days on Hong Kong Island, it was basically He Can who took Li Hucheng and Lei Qianqian to act. I went shopping, shopped, ate, went to the company, went to the stock exchange, and even went to see the horse race.
Today is the third day, and the two came to find Xu Wenjie.
This Xu Wenjie is Li Hucheng's friend in his previous life. When he made a fortune by speculating in stocks and futures on Hong Kong Island, he later went north to engage in food development in the mainland and became a wealthy man.
However, at this time, this Xu Wenjie should be in a period of despair, living in his hometown, waiting for a comeback.
He failed to short the stock market, couldn't close his position, and almost went bankrupt.
This is the old house of Xu Wenjie's family, and after he developed, he still kept the old house here to show that he did not forget his roots.
Xu Wenjie once took Li Hucheng here to visit his old house and reminisce about the difficult moments in the past.
In front of a gray cage house at the end of the street, Li Hucheng stopped.
"This is it, go up. ”
When you enter the door, you will find a wooden staircase, which crunchs when you step on it, giving people a sense of insecurity, as if it will break at any moment.
Got to the second floor, knocked a few times on the door on the left, the door opened, and in the dimly lit doorway, a man in his thirties was standing.
Wearing slippers and big pants, a sweatshirt on his upper body is obviously shabby, shaking a puff fan in his hand, and his hair is thin and messy.
"Who are you looking for?"
"You are Xu Wenjie?"
"Who are you?"
Xu Wenjie stared at Li Hucheng and Lei Qianqian vigilantly.
He was surprised by the sudden appearance of these two well-dressed young men.
"My surname is Li, her surname is Lei, and she is from the mainland. We can help you. ”
"From the mainland, what can you do to help me? Are you kidding?"
"Xu Wenjie, you failed in speculation, and now you are down, let's put away your sense of superiority. ”
"It won't be long before you know what we're capable of. Now, only I can help you make a comeback. ”
"Oh, what a big breath, I want to hear how you can help me, come in. ”
The space in the room is small, and there is a small hall at the door, a dining table is placed against the wall, and a sofa is flat for a bed.
It doubles as a living room, dining room, and bedroom.
On the left, it is the kitchen, which is simply elevated, but it is actually an open space, separated by a cloth curtain, and there are gas stoves, faucets, and sinks by the windows.
Separated by a curtain, there is a toilet, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the kitchen and toilet are together. Just separated by a cloth curtain.
On the opposite side are two upper and lower beds, making a total of four beds.
The lower bed can't lift your head when you sit down, and the upper bed can't lift your head when you sit up.
There was a door open, and inside was a double bed, which almost filled the room, and it was only possible to get in and out of bed by the door.
Several boxes were piled up in the room, and the space in the room was almost full.
The whole room is only 30 square meters. Judging from the number of beds, it should be seven people.
Because he didn't get a house, Liu Ning was sick in a fit of anger. If he is asked to come and see this house of Xu Wenjie's family, he should feel that he lives very spacious.
Xu Wenjie opened the table, made tea, and sat cross-legged on the sofa bed.
"The place is a little smaller, and the two of them are wronged. ”
"It's okay, it won't be long before you'll have a big house. ”
"Big house, where did you get a big house?"
"If you follow me, you'll soon earn a big house, and maybe one day you'll live on the top of a hill. ”
The Peak, which is the affluent area, is a place where many Hong Kong Islanders dream of living.
"How can you help me?"
"Your broker's license is still there, right?"
"Still, how do you know I'm an agent?"
"You don't have to worry about that. How much debt do you have right now?"
"How do you know...... Well, 32,000 Hong Kong dollars in debt. ”
"I'll give you a glimpse of your future. First of all, I will give you 5,000 Hong Kong dollars to apply for a pass. Pack your outfits, suit and leather shoes, carry a suitcase, and go to Qiongdao with us the day after tomorrow, so that you can see our strength. ”
"Second, I will take out a sum of money, this Miss Lei will come back with you, and you will take her to speculate in stocks and futures, and then do your old job. ”
"After Miss Lei is familiar with the basic operations, we will come up with more money, at least about 20 million Hong Kong dollars, to do stock and futures business. ”
"You can do some regular business, big business, buy and sell, it's up to me. ”
"Now, let's talk about stocks and futures. I want you to know that a mainlander's knowledge and understanding of stocks and futures is actually deeper and more comprehensive than most people in your industry. ”
More than two hours later, Li Hucheng and Lei Qianqian said goodbye.
Xu Wenjie kept sending the two to the street.
"Mr. Li, Miss Lei, I will definitely cherish this opportunity. I have the confidence to follow you in your comeback. ”
Lei Qianqian patted Xu Wenjie on the shoulder.
"That's right, follow us, you just wait here to make a lot of money. When you arrive at Qiongdao, you will know our strength. ”
"Yes, now I know. ”
You know a bird, I'll tell you about it, you believe it?
You are now in a hurry to go to the doctor, as long as someone says to help you, it is regarded as a lifesaver, trying to seize a glimmer of hope.
However, it's not bad to be able to do this, and people who want to turn over are always more hopeful than those who give up on themselves.
