Chapter 62: The Kowloon Walled City

When I returned home in the evening, it was just in time for my mother's dinner.

During the meal, Zhang Shaoping took a sip of fragrant soup and praised: "Aunt Zhou's craftsmanship is good, any soup is beautiful, no matter how tired I am from work, as long as I drink the soup made by Aunt Zhou, I will be full of energy." I can't get tired of drinking this soup! As he spoke, he drank again.

When Mi Xue and Zhou Huimin heard Zhang Shaoping's sycophants, they rolled their eyes together, and they didn't have to say it so explicitly if they wanted to please the old man, right? Zhou Huimin said in her heart: It's strange that you bad guy will work tiringly, you are really tired of picking up girls! However, Zhang Shaoping bothered to curry favor with Zhou's mother, Zhou Huimin didn't say it, but he was happy from the bottom of his heart, who doesn't want the lover to treat his parents as his own parents!

Mother Zhou didn't care whether Zhang Shaoping was suspected of being a sycophant, when she heard the praise, she smiled, helped Zhang Shaoping scoop up the empty bowl again, and said with a smile: "Ah Ping, since you like to drink, drink more!" ”

"Hey! I'll do it myself. Zhang Shaoping looked at the bowl full of soup, scratched his head, and felt that his words to coax Zhou's mother were a bit excessive, so he didn't dare to say more at the moment, and only slowly sipped the soup.

A dinner, happy and happy, Zhang Shaoping felt quite satisfied, this is a happy life. However, when he thought of Chen Chaowu's time bomb, Zhang Shaoping's heart was gloomy.

After dinner, Zhang Shaoping accompanied his little sister to watch cartoons, Mi Xue washed dishes, Zhou's mother tidied up the kitchen, and Zhou Huimin went to make tea. After everyone was done with the work at hand, they all sat on the couch and watched TV.

Seeing the picture of the villa flashing on the TV, Zhang Shaoping suddenly said: "There is something, I almost forgot to tell you, I am going to buy a villa tomorrow, everyone is ready, and I will move to the villa in the future." ”

"Why are you moving again? It's nice to live here. ”

Zhou Huimin opened his big eyes and looked at Zhang Shaoping puzzled.

"It's good, the environment is good, and there is a community park, but the security measures are too poor, and the access is not convenient, and the apartment is narrow, there are many people, and my business friends come and go, and there is a lot of inconvenience."

Facing the eyes of the three girls who looked at them with doubts, Zhang Shaoping resisted the urge to tell them the truth, and said so. He only talked about the enmity with Chen Chaowu, but he didn't dare to say how cruel Chen Chaowu was, and he was worried that this guy would be lawless and brave the big disapproval, so he decided to move.

There are unwritten rules for people on the road to take revenge, and there are debtors who have been wronged, and they will only find the parties involved, and they will not harm their families. But Chen Chaowu is different, he was born in a casino, and he does things "absolutely", otherwise, his heart is not ruthless enough, how can he recover the gambling debts owed by gamblers?

However, Zhou's mother and her sisters also believed in Zhang Shaoping's rhetoric, and found that it was really inconvenient for him to communicate with friends in the business field by living here.

"So what kind of villa do you want to buy? Where to move to? ”

Zhou Huimin was suddenly interested, and although Mi Xue was watching TV with both eyes, she was also listening. Zhou's mother felt that it didn't matter, it was the same wherever she lived, and everything was up to them.

"Hehehe, do you think the villa that flashed on the TV just now is good?" Zhang Shaoping affectionately scratched Zhou Huimin's little qiong's nose and said with a smile.

"Nasty! Don't shave my nose! Zhou Huimin glared at Zhang Shaoping coquettishly.

Mi Xue suddenly heard Zhang Shaoping's subtext and asked, "Do you want to move to the mid-levels?" ”

Almost all of the wealthy family dramas filmed by Hong Kong's two major TV stations take place in mansions in Mid-Levels. Not only that, but even the large luxury villas that often appear in movies are mostly filmed in the mid-levels.

"The Peak or Mid-Levels is not only beautiful, overlooking the Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong's night view, but also the rich and famous people here, so we can be neighbors when we move there. When the time comes, you can have more friends, right? ”

This is the place where the powerful of the whole Hong Kong are concentrated, and those who can live here are either rich or expensive, and the old boy and the like don't dare to make trouble here at all. Chen Chaowu wanted to find trouble, but there were too many people to come, and when there were fewer people, he was purely looking for death! Zhang Shaoping's plan was a thief, and he thought about every step well, and he didn't give Chen Chaowu a chance to take advantage of it at all.

Regarding what Zhang Shaoping said, Mi Xue and Zhou Huimin were happy to hear it, but Zhou's mother also nodded and thought so, and everyone watched TV heartlessly with Zhang Mengying's little girl. She nestled in Zhang Shaoping's arms, glanced at everyone in confusion, and shook her head, adults speak too profoundly, I don't understand, it's better to watch my TV.

Early the next morning, Zhang Shaoping ran to the major sales offices and brought back a lot of photos.

"What do you think of this? Located on Binji Road at the top of Victoria Peak, there is an open-air swimming pool and tennis court, and there is a security room. Covering an area of more than 1,200 square meters, the villa has a three-story construction area of nearly 1,000 square meters, with 6 bedrooms and guest rooms and 6 bathrooms, a gym and a study, as well as a tool room and a maid's room. The living room opens to a tiled garden area perfect for barbecues and alfresco dining. Mi Xue took a photo and explained in detail to Zhou Huimin and Zhou's mother.

Speaking of this, Michelle smiled: "Of course, there is another point, this is the only reading villa for sale, which is rare." ”

Reading villas are rare, and most of the houses on the market are semi-detached or townhouses, or even stacked houses. The owner of the Reading Villa generally does not make a move.

The other two women listened to the introduction, and they were quite satisfied, and they nodded in agreement. Since these three were satisfied, Zhang Shaoping immediately made a decision and bought this villa.

Such a good villa, if you bought it last year, if you don't have more than 15 million, don't want to get it. Even if I bought it a few months ago, it cost about 12 million, but now, it is only worth 9.5 million Hong Kong dollars. It can be seen how much Hong Kong's real estate market has fallen, looking at its real estate market and property market, the fluctuations are extremely violent, more exaggerated than riding a roller coaster, straight up and down, making people unpredictable.

After buying a villa, it is natural to decorate or modify the inner room, buy some furniture and the like, and then pick a good day and move out. These cumbersome things can be completed in about ten days, and Zhang Shaoping will be a shopkeeper and throw them to Zhou Huimin and them. He is now focusing on investing in the real estate market.

There are a number of reasons why Hong Kong's property market is so sluggish. First, the economy is sluggish, and the world environment is sluggish. Second, the uncertainty of Hong Kong's future has deterred investors and frightened wealthy families, and many people have emigrated. The third is that Hong Kong's real estate speculation was overheated and formed a bubble, which is now just bursting. These three are the main reasons for the abnormal downturn in Hong Kong's real estate market and stock market.

But Zhang Shaoping knew that as an investor, it was time to enter the market.

First of all, he had the advantage of foresight, knowing that the American economy was probably beginning to recover and would start to thrive in '83, so the world's economy would gradually recover under the leadership of the American locomotive. And the part of Hong Kong's future is too clear for him to think about at all. The third reason is that after the bubble bursts, Hong Kong's real estate and stock market will have a year-long freezing period, and it will not fully recover until 84.

Since the real estate market will not recover until '84, wouldn't it be too early to step in? Actually, this is also considered. It is true that it took 84 years to recover, but shrewd businessmen will buy the bottom when the market is at its lowest, and then sit back and wait for it to recover.

The first real estate market in Hong Kong to collapse was industrial land and commercial land, with almost all of them falling by around 50% to 65%. Zhang Shaoping was already buying commercial stores one after another, and even spent 36 million Hong Kong dollars to buy a commercial building in Lan Kwai Fong. Now it's time for villas, mansions and high-end residences to buy the bottom, Zhang Shaoping sees it, and there is no reason not to make a move.

......

In Hong Kong's civilized and prosperous society, there is a place that is extremely special, famous and legendary all over the world. That is the Kowloon Walled City.

The Kowloon Walled City is a famous slum, a besieged city, a country of China, and a famous three-way zone. It is located in the heart of Hong Kong, surrounded by British colonies, but its sovereignty belongs to the mainland government. It is precisely because the Hong Kong police and the Hong Kong British political axe have no right to enter, and the mainland refuses to manage it, that the Kowloon Walled City has become a three-way zone.

Dark, dirty, narrow tunnels with neon lights that come and go, labyrinthine corridors like anthills, leaky walls, sea-to-hero addicts crouching around the corner, and lawlessness have all become synonymous with the Kowloon Walled City.

Since the police never set foot here, in the 70s and 80s, law and order in the vicinity of the Kowloon Walled City deteriorated. Many robbers openly robbed in broad daylight, and as long as they turned around and fled back to the walled city, the police were powerless to pursue them. In fact, all kinds of wanted criminals in Macao, Taiwan, and Malaya will rush to Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City to seek refuge when they have no way out.

Since then, the Kowloon Walled City has become a gathering place for murderers, gangsters, drug dealers and other fugitives. It has also become the location of various underground factories, from which 90% of Hong Kong's heroin is exported. At the same time, all kinds of large and small hospitals, casinos, dog rings, etc. have sprung up like mushrooms. Including a large number of underground food processing factories without safety supervision, unlicensed doctors, illegal immigrants, etc., are gathered here.

It was such a place, Tang Aijun took three fierce veterans and slowly walked in.

Tang Aijun's four people all crawled out of the pile of dead people, and the evil qi on their bodies could not be exhausted even if they were consumed, and they walked in the lanes of the Kowloon Walled City, and no one with a little eye dared to come forward to provoke.

According to the address given by his comrades-in-arms, Tang Aijun turned around, stunned and couldn't find his destination.

"What a fucking bitch! What the hell is this place, it's messed up like this! Tang Aijun couldn't help but scold his mother.

The Kowloon Walled City is full of illegal buildings, layer by floor, and even 98% of the entire Walled City has no sunlight 24 hours a day, and electric lights must be lit at noon. Tang Aijun is just blind here, the address of two years ago, the random buildings here are enough to cover it up without a trace.

Here, you can't knock on the door, because the people inside may not be making drugs, and when you knock on the door, they think it's a factory maker, and they will immediately fight with you. As for shouting loudly, nesting in the room, you generally can't hear it, and even if you hear it, it may be a guy who is hilarious, and they still don't agree with each other, fuck you.

It's not that there aren't good people here. In fact, the vast majority of people are here to eat, and only some of them are extremely vicious. But there are not 10,000 of them, but there are thousands, and they are really lawless guys.

"Brother Jun, what should I do?" One asked.

"What can I do? Go down and shout. Be conspicuous, don't be shot. ”

"Hey, hey! Just these guys who play black want to hurt us? Give them guns, it's useless! ”

"Don't be careless! There are a lot of Vietnamese here, who, like us, crawl out of the pile of dead on the battlefield, and may not be pleasing when they meet! ”

Tang Aijun gave a warning, turned around and walked downstairs, and there happened to be a person coming up below. The corridor is dark, there is no light, and they can't see each other clearly. Both sides were on guard against each other, both slowing down and preparing to stagger away.

"A-Jun?" The man suddenly shouted.

"Are you...... Hwa! Are you Ah Wa? Hearing the man's voice, Tang Aijun's heart moved, he took two steps closer, and finally recognized him as one of his comrades-in-arms. But this man has changed so much that he is almost unrecognizable.

"Ah Jun, it's really you!" Ah Hua was surprised and delighted, "When did you come to Hong Kong?" What about Ah Hong? Why don't you see her with you? ”

"That's a long story, what about them? Take me to meet everyone. More on that then. ”

"Come with me, we're all together and take care of each other." Ah Hua greeted and turned to go downstairs.

"You don't live in this building? So how did you get here? Tang Aijun saw Ah Hua taking them downstairs, turning left and right, passing through the dirty lanes.

"I have a girlfriend here, named Ajuan, I'm going to find her." Ah Hua laughed.

"Hehehe, I see!"
