No. 179 Return to the homeland with wealth

There is no dedicated pier at Chek Lap Kok, and yachts can only dock at the Tung Chung Pier on Lantau Island opposite. There is a ferry to Tuen Mun in the New Territories every morning, noon and evening, and fishermen who want to go to the city can take a ferry or bus to Tuen Mun.

The seventh uncle who Li Haichuan mentioned before who had called the Li family was already waiting for them at Tung Chung Pier. The seventh uncle is sixty or seventy years old, and his skin has long become dark and rough under the erosion of the sea breeze and sun. But his body is still very strong, his voice is loud, and his feet are like flying.

The seventh uncle's surname is Liu, the seventh in the family, he is not of the same clan as the Li family, but he is one of the most senior elderly people in Chek Lap Kok Village.

"You are Xuan Zai, you have grown so big in a blink of an eye!" A glimmer of light flashed in the Seventh Uncle's somewhat cloudy eyes, and he asked kindly staring at Li Xuan.

"Uncle Seven, I'm Xuan Zai, and I even went to your house to eat fried fish when I was a child!" Li Xuan nodded and smiled very kindly.

"The fishing boats in the village all year round go out to sea to fish, and the smell of fish is a bit strong, you city people may be a little unaccustomed to it!" "Uncle Qi took the lead and jumped on the fishing boat, which had obviously just been cleaned up.

Li Xuan and his eldest brother carefully helped their little sister and mother to get on the boat, although Li Haichuan has been ashore for many years, he is very skilled in every move, giving people a feeling of being at home in water.

"Ah Chuan, it seems that you haven't lost all your old skills in fishing!"

The seventh uncle couldn't help but sigh when he saw Li Haichuan's free movement. The other people on the fishing boat were a little restrained, and their eyes looked at Li Xuan and his party with a little more awe, especially when their eyes swept over the two accompanying bodyguards beside him. On the contrary, the seventh uncle's face was as usual and very calm.

Chek Lap Kok Fishing Village is not far from Tung Chung Ferry Pier. As far as the eye can see, the fishing boats arrived at the typhoon shelter of the fishing village after a few minutes of travel. The fishing village is not big. There are only a few dozen households, and most of the houses are built on the slopes of the sea. There is no detailed planning, it looks a little messy, most of them are brick houses, but there are also a few dilapidated wooden houses.

Most of the people in the village who had not gone out to sea to fish came to the beach to greet them, and Li Haichuan recognized several of his peers as soon as he got off the boat. Compared to their skin, which was wrinkled like old bark by the sea breeze, Li Haichuan's slightly rich figure stood with them, and he looked at least ten years younger.

Haichuan, Achuan, Brother Chuan, there are all kinds of names, but everyone has shown their greatest enthusiasm for Li Haichuan.

This is your second tiger uncle! This is the fifth grandmother!

Li Haichuan kept introducing the people in the village to his three children. Li Xuan, his eldest brother and younger sister greeted each other politely. To the delight of everyone present. The people who humbly call them uncles and grandmothers are the young rich man "Xiao Li Sheng" with a lot of money. Li Xuan didn't have a trace of arrogance, his appearance naturally earned enough face for his father, and the initial worry and restraint in everyone's hearts gradually let go.

Soon after the Li family landed, a boat followed, with two of Li Xuan's assistants on board, as well as gifts that the Li family had prepared for their neighbors in the fishing village. It is some chicken, duck, pork and seasonal fruits, which can immediately improve the food of the villagers.

Far from the bustling city of Hong Kong, life in the fishing village of Chek Lap Kok is by no means affluent, and over the years, many families have been like the Li family. Instead of continuing to earn a living at sea, he went to the city, where there were less than 100 remaining residents.

Looking at the somewhat dilapidated fishing village, Li Haichuan sighed. He naturally will not forget the hardships of going out to sea to fish. But how easy is it to go to the city to work! He couldn't help but glance at his youngest son who was following him, if it weren't for Li Xuan's birth, the Li family would still be living in the public housing estate in Sau Mau Ping now!

"Brother. This is where we used to live when we were kids? I don't seem to have any impressions!" Li Ying seemed to have been trying to recall her childhood impressions, and finally shook her head and gave up.

Li Xuan is not the true figure of this body. Although there are some memories left in my mind, I don't have much feeling about my childhood home. Li Haichuan's family was surrounded by everyone like stars. Soon came to a half-collapsed mud house.

"When you were a child, you liked to climb here in open crotch pants!" Li Xuan casually pointed to the door of his old house, leaned into his little sister's ear, and said softly to tease her.

"You are talking nonsense, how can I have it!" Li Yingqiao blushed slightly and glared at his brother.

Li Haichuan now lives in a mansion on the top of Taiping Mountain, and there is nothing to be nostalgic about this dilapidated house, and if it falls, it will fall, and he didn't take it to heart after a few sighs. Li Xuan's family was welcomed by the seventh uncle to their house to rest for a while.

"Ah Chuan, you have also seen that the life of everyone in the village is generally difficult. You have also gone to sea to fish before, and these small boats in our fishing village can swing in the coastal waters!"

"Hehe!" Li Haichuan also came out, and the seventh uncle called him, not just asking him to come back and take a look at his collapsed old house.

Seeing that Li Haichuan did not answer him, the seventh uncle was also a little embarrassed on his face, but he still stubbornly said: "Now that there are fewer and fewer fish caught in the offshore waters, and the price of oil and the maintenance of fishing boats have been rising, there is no way to go on like this! Recently, some people are organizing an ocean-going fleet to go to the deep sea of the Pacific Ocean to catch squid and saury!"

"Seventh Uncle, how much investment does it take to invest an ocean-going fishing boat?" Li Xuan suddenly asked.

A hint of joy flashed on Uncle Seven's face, and he immediately explained in detail: "The ocean-going fishing boat has a longer period of going to sea, and it can catch more fish, so the tonnage of the fishing boat is also larger. Moreover, in order to keep the catch fresh, the ship also needs to purchase ice-making equipment, and the cost of a 1,000-ton ocean-going fishing vessel needs several million yuan!"

Li Xuan couldn't help squinting, they really thought they were good money boys, and they were millions in one mouth. But he didn't show any dissatisfaction, but said very proudly: "That's it, Uncle Seven, if you are interested in raising funds to buy an ocean-going fishing boat, although my family has moved away for more than ten years, after all, it is also a part of Chek Lap Kok, and I will invest 500,000 shares on behalf of my father!"

The seventh uncle opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after hesitating, he finally didn't say anything.

However, his son opened his mouth a little impatiently next to him and said: "Xiao Li Sheng, how can we come up with millions of dollars to buy a new ship, it's better to ......"

Li Xuan didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and then interrupted him: "If you can't afford a new ship, you can buy an old one." As long as everyone has the determination to make changes, everyone will always be able to come up with a solution! Uncle Seven, how much does it cost to buy a second-hand ocean-going ship?"

"If the old ship is a little older, it will only cost a million!" Uncle Seven's son couldn't wait to rush and said, "This money is just a drizzle compared to 'Xiao Li Sheng', your net worth!"

Li Xuan glanced at him, and when he saw a humble smile on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little more displeased, and this was too naked.

"Uncle Seven, one million can buy an old fishing boat, and my father will contribute 500,000 yuan! The remaining 500,000 yuan, there are about 30 or so families in the village, if everyone can work together, each family only needs to contribute 20,000 or 30,000 yuan! As long as everyone really has a heartbeat, I think I will definitely be able to take it out by gritting my teeth!

God save the self-helpers! I can make another promise for my father, if the village is really ready to raise funds to buy an ocean-going fishing boat, my father will invest 500,000 yuan in shares and dividends, and my family will not take a penny, and it will be used to help the orphans, widows and disabled people in the village!" Li Xuan looked at the seventh uncle and said in a sonorous and powerful tone.

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he seemed to inadvertently turn his head and give his little sister a look.

Li Ying immediately understood his intentions and pulled the corner of her mother's clothes: "Mom, didn't you say that you were going to the Tianhou Temple to offer incense?

"Let's go, I'll go too, my father is the head of the family, just let me stay and discuss with Seventh Uncle!" Li Xuan immediately stood up with a smile and said.

Li Haichuan continued to stay in the Seventh Uncle's house, but he was not a fool, from his son's words just now, he had already understood the bottom line he should control. The Li family only paid 500,000 yuan, not a penny more, you can buy a boat if you want, and you can figure out the rest of the funds yourself. Moreover, the Li family's money is not taken for nothing, and dividends must be collected on the accounts every year according to the rules. But Li Xuan will not take his money and spend it himself, but will use it to buy a good reputation.

The Tin Hau Temple at Chek Lap Kok is built entirely of granite feldspar slabs on a small slope by the sea, and it is said that it was built by the miners who were mining stone on Chek Lap Kok at that time. Later, during the Chinese New Year's holidays, fishermen from Chek Lap Kok Village and Lantau Island would come here to pay their respects and pray for peace.

Li Xuan's mother specially prepared a small pig's head, grains and various fruits, lined up in three tribute baskets, solemnly lit incense, and called two sons and a daughter to worship the queen of heaven with her.

By the time Li Xuan and the others came back after going to the Tianhou Temple to offer incense, the Seventh Uncle's house had already gathered many villagers. At first, the plan of several people in the village was to say that Li Xuan, who had a fortune of billions, would pay for an ocean-going fishing boat and rent it to everyone in the village.

With the wealth of the Li family, if you want to earn a good reputation, you are naturally embarrassed to charge too high a charter fee to everyone, which is equivalent to a sure-fire business for the people in the village.

But Li Xuan's money didn't come from the wind, he and these people in the village were not related, and before they could say this, they blocked the words in advance.

But Li Xuan is not really a dime, as he said before, God saves the self-helpers! If the people in the village of Chek Lap Kok can really invest hundreds of thousands of dollars to bet on ocean fishing, it is not impossible for Li Xuan to throw 500,000 yuan to help them!

Li Xuan looked at everyone's flattering words, humbly pleasing his father, and the confidence and satisfaction that his father unintentionally revealed, which made him suddenly think of a sentence: Wealth does not return to the hometown, like a brocade at night! (To be continued......)
