The sky was as black as ink because of the torrential rain, and the thunder shook.

The two finally found a Chinese medicine shop, and the car stopped.

Seeing Teresa Teng's appearance clearly, the shopkeeper suddenly looked a little cramped, and said, "Are you Miss Teresa Teng?" ”

Teresa Teng smiled sweetly: "Well, yes." ”

"Great! Miss Teresa Teng, I have been a fan of yours since ten years ago! Now I finally see your real person," the shopkeeper said with a hardcore look, "I didn't get tickets for the first few concerts, so I couldn't go to the scene to support!" However, I have all of your records! ”

That's true!

There are at least a dozen posters of Teresa Teng in the store!

Zhang Shaojie said impatiently: "Please, uncle, Lijun has a sprained foot, if you are in this pharmacy, no one will treat the foot injury, then we will have to leave!" ”

The shopkeeper was embarrassed and said, "Coincidentally, an old Chinese medicine master in the store has an injection to treat sprains, and the results are immediate!" However, this old man has a relatively withdrawn temper, and whether he is willing to treat others depends on his mood! From time to time, the shopkeeper speculated about the relationship between Teresa Teng and Zhang Shaojie.

Zhang Shaojie and Teresa Teng looked at each other and smiled, curious about the old doctor.

The shopkeeper went to the warehouse and knocked on the door.

Soon after, an old man with gray eyebrows and a gray beard walked out.

The old man looked like a fairy and asked, "What about the patient?" ”

The shopkeeper pointed to Teresa Teng and said, "There!" ”

The old Chinese medicine doctor squatted, took off Teresa Teng's shoes and socks, and checked her injuries.

Teresa Teng is very cooperative.

Soon after, the old doctor didn't even ask. Because of this kind of sprain, there is no need to ask too much, and it is even more effective to trust your own experience than to trust the patient's answer. After the vast majority of cases, the patient's answer is often his own psychological feelings, not the real situation of the disease. Some doctors even believe that it is better to believe in their own expertise than to believe in the words of their patients.

Wu took out the acupuncture tools, disinfected them under the alcohol lamp, and pricked them with a needle

A few minutes later.

"How does it feel?" The old doctor said indifferently.

"Hey, it's amazing, it doesn't hurt!" Teresa Teng moved her ankles and felt that the pain had improved greatly.

Zhang Shaojie helped Teresa Teng and saluted the doctor and said, "Thank you, doctor!" He took out a $500 bill and handed it to the doctor.

The old doctor sterilized the needles, didn't look at the money on the table, and said: "Acupuncture is just to relieve your pain, and if you really want to recover from sprains, it will take a few days to recuperate." These days, reduce strenuous exercise such as running, and replace high heels with flat shoes to prevent sprains again! ”

As he spoke, the doctor waved his hand and asked the two to leave.

Zhang Shaojie is a huge sweat, this old man is really domineering and exposed. Zhang Shaojie and Teresa Teng, both of whom are popular figures in Hong Kong. But the old man was not even surprised, he treated Teresa Teng's injuries, and he was impatient to knock people out, what a strange doctor.

The shopkeeper said in Zhang Shaojie's ear: "This old man was pitiful enough during the Cultural Revolution before, so he fled to Hong Kong." After arriving in Hong Kong, he had no relatives and no reason, and almost starved to death. My dad is a bad guy, save him. In order to repay his kindness, this old man actually did not need a salary, but only provided food and lodging, and helped people treat incurable diseases in my house. Many people want to apprentice, and the old man can bring him into the coffin with medical skills, and he doesn't want to accept apprentices! ”

When Zhang Shaojie heard this, he couldn't help but sigh a little: "It's a pity!" Traditional Chinese medicine is a treasure handed down from our ancestors! In modern times, with the death of more and more old Chinese medicine practitioners, there is a continuous loss of medical skills and a gap in knowledge."

"Who's to say it isn't?" The shopkeeper chimed in.

When the old doctor heard this, his body stiffened, his cloudy eyes revealed complex emotions, and he muttered something in his mouth, and left quietly.

However, Zhang Shaojie and others still didn't notice the old doctor's abnormality after all.

The owner, surnamed Qin, is also an ancestral family of Chinese medicine practitioners, who came to Hong Kong with his parents in the 50s. Hong Kong's economic development has been good since the end of World War II, with more than tens of thousands of people fleeing from the mainland every year. After those mainland refugees came to Hong Kong, most of them were destitute, and dozens of people lived in a shack, so the extremely poor generally did not have the money to go to the hospital when they were sick, so Chinese medicine has always been very marketable in Hong Kong.

And the old Chinese medicine doctor's surname is Li, and it is said that he was a famous doctor in the capital in the past. In the special era, the political movement was too fierce, and Dr. Li's family was once a landlord, and he was very organized, so he fled to Hong Kong.

Dr. Li, don't talk about other medical skills, but acupuncture and moxibustion techniques are amazing. Unfortunately, after the modern era, acupuncture and moxibustion were interfered with by political factors in China, and the progress of research was slow.

However, overseas, a large number of acupuncture academic research bases have emerged. Because Western scientific research institutions have invested a lot of research funds, they have continuously made breakthroughs in the field of acupuncture.

In China, acupuncture technology has not been paid attention to for a long time, so there has been little progress.

Later, China gradually realized the importance of traditional medicine, but had to send students to Western countries to learn traditional Chinese acupuncture techniques.

The reason why China has had too many regrets in various fields of science and culture since modern times is mainly because this era is too poor!

In 1980, China's total GDP was only 450 billion yuan. At that time, the official exchange rate of the Chinese yuan was 1.5:1 compared to the US dollar, but in the black market, the exchange rate of the RMB and the US dollar was 10:1. At the official exchange rate, China's GDP was $300 billion, but at the black market rate, China's purchasing power was only $45 billion.

In the early years of reform and opening up, there was a huge generation gap between China and Western countries in terms of technology, and in order to enhance the international competitiveness of products, it could only rely on the introduction of technology and equipment, and the introduction of technology and equipment required a large amount of foreign exchange.

The importance of foreign exchange at that time was unimaginable later!

In this era, the purpose of factories, enterprises, and export products across the country is not to make a profit, but only to obtain foreign exchange resources!

In 1980, the official exchange rate of the renminbi against the US dollar was 1.5:1, and if all kinds of products, whether bicycles, cameras, or other products, were exported at the official exchange rate, they would not be cheaper than those of Western countries.

Therefore, the state has taken the measures - enterprises export at a loss, in exchange for foreign exchange in dollars, and the state financially subsidizes the losses of enterprises!

Judging from a single transaction, the export earnings in the 80s were a loss-making business.

However, the products are exported at a loss, and after obtaining foreign exchange, they use foreign exchange to buy foreign machinery and equipment to upgrade the technical content of Chinese factories, so that in the long run, it is a profitable business.

Because these foreign exchange resources are all used to import technology, resources, and equipment, it has immediately improved China's productivity and technological strength!

Zhang Shaojie shook his head and thought in his heart that unless the mainland economic system completes the upgrading of equipment and introduces sufficient technical reserves. Otherwise, the focus of strategic development is still biased towards importing overseas technology and equipment, and its own technological innovation will be placed in a secondary position.

After leaving the hospital, Zhang Shaojie sent Teresa Teng home safely before leaving silently.

Teresa Teng looked at Zhang Shaojie outside the window, and after getting in the car, she couldn't help but feel a little sweet in her heart, and murmured: "He's such a person, is he so considerate to every girl?" ”

Unconsciously, Teresa Teng felt that her heart was full of Zhang Shaojie's shadow.

———————— a few days later. November 8th.

Teresa Teng's foot injury has completely healed, but she has changed into a pair of flat shoes instead of wearing high heels that are easy to sprain her ankle.

Entrusted by Li Longsheng, a child of a rich family, He Lili invited Teresa Teng to participate in a family banquet, and Teresa Teng was needed to sing to help the fun.

Teresa Teng didn't know that this was an event to arrange a blind date between her and the children of a rich family.

Therefore, Teresa Teng is ready to ask a male companion to accompany her.

Thinking about it, among the men I know in Hong Kong, only Zhang Shaojie is the most suitable.

"Shaojie, accompany others. Hee-hee, everyone else attends the banquet with a male companion, so you act as a temporary male companion for others! ”

"Is this really appropriate?"

"What's out of place? People won't eat you! Teresa Teng said with a smile.

Zhang Shaojie smiled bitterly: "Okay! ”

Invited by Teresa Teng, Zhang Shaojie naturally drove to Teresa Teng's house to pick her up in the evening.

Mid-levels, Victoria Peak.

This is the area where Hong Kong opened its port earlier, and it was inhabited by some early British colonial families, and later the wealthy Chinese rose economically, and more and more people bought houses on land in Mid-Levels, so it gradually became a place where wealthy families lived.

Being able to own a villa here is also a symbol of status and status!

Because, a cheap villa here will also be worth millions of Hong Kong dollars, and there are countless mansions as high as tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions! It can be said that the combined value of thousands of luxury houses in the Mid-Levels alone exceeds 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to Hong Kong's annual GDP at this time

Zhang Shaojie and Teresa Teng found the address - it is a mansion that occupies more than 4,000 square meters, a small western-style building, plus a courtyard, a garden, a swimming pool, a parking lot outside the door, and a fence in front of the door.

Several servants stood in front of the door to greet them, and the security guards led a giant dog that was one person tall, looking formidable and terrifying.

Outside the parking lot, luxury cars, BMW, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, have a wide range of categories, enough to open a luxury car show.

"Yo, Teresa Teng, you're here!" He Lili and Zhao Shiguang stood in front of the door and greeted with laughter.

Zhang Shaojie got out of the car and held Teresa Teng's wrist.

He Lili was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhang Shaojie, what are you doing here?" ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "I didn't want to come originally, but Lijun invited me to be my male companion." ”

"Yes, Shaojie, I asked him to accompany me," Teresa Teng smiled sweetly.
