Chapter Twenty-Six: Dead Lips and Cold Teeth

Hong Kong is a small place, with an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers and a population of several million, making it one of the most densely populated areas on Shijie.

This is mainly due to the fact that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, for various reasons, it was not immediately recovered. After that, Hong Kong, as a base for contact between China and the West, brought together shili from various countries on Shijie, including the European shili led by the suzerain, the British suzerain, the former dynasty Shili who retreated to an island, the Shili of Southeast Asia due to war, the Shili of the United States and Japan that deployed in East Asia to contain the red tide, and the Shili of China itself.

It was once said that the number of spies gathered in Hong Kong was second only to the number in Germany.

At that time, Germany was divided into two parts, of which East Germany was a socialist country and belonged to the Warsaw Pact, and West Germany was a capitalist country and belonged to NATO, and in the middle of the two most powerful military blocs in human history was the Berlin Wall, which divided Germany in two.

Just imagine, such an area must be the focus of contention between the two sides, and each shili infiltrates everywhere, and both want to control each other's every move.

In the East, Hong Kong plays such a role, surrounded by wolves in small places, and the situation is changing.

Of course, it is the mainland that has the greatest impact on Hong Kong. After all, most Hong Kong people have their roots in the mainland, and for various reasons, they have left their hometown and lived on such a small island to make a living, and they still have a sense of belonging to their hometown in their hearts. Another reason is that the leaders of the mainland have already negotiated with the British Government that they will take back Hong Kong and exercise sovereignty in '97.

In this way, the political changes in the mainland are closely related to Hong Kong, which is why Weishenme had countless elite immigrants in Hong Kong in the 80s and 90s, mostly because they were pessimistic about Hong Kong's prospects and had no hope for the mainland government.

In fact, the decades after the handover proved that their thinking was a bit extreme. The Chinese government has always taken an open-minded attitude towards Hong Kong, even to the point of asking for policy for policy and money for money. In the face of the several major disasters that Hong Kong has experienced, the central government has extended a helping hand in a timely manner.

To give a very simple example, before Hong Kong's return to the motherland, few artists went to the mainland to make movies and television. Because the Hong Kong film industry at that time was known as the "Hollywood" of the East, thousands of Hong Kong films were produced every year to flood the cultural market in Southeast Asia, and the mainland was also one of the main export destinations for these films.

With the development of the mainland's economy, the cultural industry has also developed rapidly, and a large number of Hong Kong artists have seen the vast market of the mainland, and they have also put down the unattainable shelves of the past and went north to make money. There was even a period of time when TVB's leading students and Hua Dan left en masse and went to the mainland to look for opportunities, which made TVB have to push some slightly immature young people to the forefront, and the dramas produced became more and more crude, which could not be compared with some mainland productions at all.

Of course, these are all later words, and ordinary Hong Kong people still have a sense of superiority over people from the mainland.

After something happened in Yenjing that year, the panic of Hong Kong people was ignited again, and some people seemed to see the scene after the handover, coupled with the hype of the pro-British media, they were busy selling off their assets and desperate to flee Hong Kong.

The real estate market fell in response, and countless people were waiting to make a move at this time.

This is indeed a good time to buy the bottom, especially for Hong Kong, a place with a small land area and a large population. Hong Kong's wealthy families all have real estate backgrounds.

Naturally, Zhong Shi would not let go of this kind of opportunity, and if it was possible, he would even be willing to buy the entire building. Because he knows the development of future generations, the money invested in the property market has outperformed inflation and interest, and it is extremely safe.

Just when he arrived in Hong Kong, Liao Chengde said a word to him with a solemn face, which made him quite emotional.

"Zhong Sheng, I have already immigrated to Australia, and I may be going to Australia for retirement soon!"

When Liao Chengde said this, there was a complicated look on his face. Deep down, he was reluctant to emigrate, but for practical reasons, he had to make such a plan.

In case after the return of Hong Kong, a certain big man orders that all the assets of the rich will be confiscated, then his life will be in vain.

Sometimes with the words of the big guys, countless small people go bankrupt.

"Oh? So who's going to go to immigration prison? Zhong Shi was stunned for a moment, and then thought that Liao Chengde was not young, so it was better to stop as soon as possible, after all, there were many things that people of his age needed to consider.

Australia is good, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the air environment is also suitable for the elderly. The most important point is that Australia is very close to Hong Kong, and it is only a few hours to fly back and forth.

Immigration supervision is a kind of immigration policy, which is roughly to obtain permanent residency in this country, and at the same time as filing an immigration application, you need to live in this country for a year and a half, so it is jokingly called like a prison.

"My wife, of course." Liao Chengde smiled self-deprecatingly, quite surprised by Zhong Shi's reaction, "Why don't you ask me about Weishenme immigration, what will I do with my business in the future?" ”

"What can you say? It's nothing more than that, Hong Kong's business continues, plus the protection of foreigners. Zhongshi shook his head disdainfully. Many people in later generations did this, and for the immigrant generation, it was difficult to integrate into the cultural environment of the other country, and most of them just wanted peace of mind.

"Don't you want to say more?" Liao Chengde came to the end, and kept asking Zhong Shi.

"What is there to say! But Lao Liao, in fact, Hong Kong's passport is also good, as long as you don't bother with political matters, living in Hong Kong is enough to make you worry-free for the rest of your life. ”

"Really?" Liao Chengde fell into deep thought.

……

On this day, they came to Dapu to see the real estate, Dapu this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and there is an industrial park in it, the geographical location is quite good, there are a number of villas in the Kang Yuen Park on the top of the hill are waiting to be sold, this is some of the early villa projects in Hong Kong, and its price is so high that people are staggering.

However, because the owner was in a hurry to sell, the price was naturally pressed at a fairly low level, and Zhong Shi and his party were naturally quite satisfied with the price.

Many of the homeowners are entrepreneurs in the industrial park, and they are very satisfied when they see Zhong Shi, Liao Chengde and others happily responding, and some even want to sell their factories, which makes Zhong Shi cry and laugh. Not to mention the high labor cost in Hong Kong, let's just say that in a few years, the competitiveness of Hong Kong manufacturing will be gone.

After looking at all the houses, it was already dark, and after declining the invitation of an enthusiastic owner to dinner, Zhong Shi and his party got on the inconspicuous minibus and walked away in the infinite grateful eyes of the owner.

"I made a lot of money this time, and when the situation improves, even if I sell at the original price before, this batch of villas can earn at least tens of millions!" Liao Xiaohua was silently calculating in the car for a long time, and said very excitedly.

"Yes! I really didn't expect these people to be in a hurry to immigrate and be able to sell at such a low price, it's really unexpected! Zhong Yi also chimed in.

"This kind of opportunity is rare, I can't wait for things to break out in the north every day, so that we have a large number of opportunities to buy the bottom!" Liao Xiaohua has not worked in vain in the accounting firm in the past two years, not only is he familiar with the things in the accounting, but he is even very familiar with the relationship between Hong Kong and China.

"Shut up!" Liao Chengde's eyes widened angrily and scolded loudly. "Do you know what the relationship between the mainland and Hong Kong is? It's a relationship between lips and teeth, do you know stinky boy, I haven't learned a few of my own culture, and I think about some crooked truths of foreigners. ”

It's hard for Liao Chengde, he hasn't read much of his own books, but he actually understands the truth of cold lips and teeth. Naturally, it is inaccurate to say that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, it should be said that the skin does not exist, and the hair will be attached. However, this level of idiom is already difficult for Liao Xiaohua to understand, after all, this kid is studying abroad, knows little about Chinese culture, and even stammers Chinese.

gave his father such a reprimand, Liao Xiaohua immediately wilted, and secretly asked in the back seat what he meant by "cold lips and cold teeth".

"Stinky boy, all the nonsense!" Liao Chengde reprimanded enough, and there was still some dissatisfaction on his face. After all, he came from the mainland, and deep down he still hopes that the mainland can develop well, which is also the common wish of ordinary Chinese.

When the car drove to Tolo Port, there was a port on one side of the road, a high mountain on the other, and there were not many pedestrians on the road, so the Land Rover who was driving stepped on the accelerator and ran forward quickly. This is the New Territories, and there is still some way to go back to Hong Kong Island.

Suddenly, a minibus rushed from behind, slammed its head, and it was in front of Zhong Shi and others, and the minibus suddenly slowed down and stopped in the middle of the road in a dignified manner.

Due to the suddenness of the incident and the speed of both sides was very fast, Land Rover slammed on the brakes under surprise, and the wheels drew two long traces on the ground, and with a long "squeak", the car stopped in front of the car in front of it, only half a meter away from colliding.

"How did you drive?" The people in the car were all stumbling, but luckily they were all wearing seat belts, and nothing happened. Liao Xiaohua, who was fast-talking, couldn't help but complain.

"Something is wrong!" Land Rover stared at the minibus in front of him, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart.

As he spoke, he saw that the front door was suddenly opened, and then jumped out of several big men, wearing hoods on their heads, holding machetes and sticks and other weapons in their hands, one of them was still holding a swarthy dot 38 in his hand, pointing straight at the Land Rover in the driver's seat, and shouted: "Don't move, or I'll shoot!" ”

The people in the car were suddenly stupid, they never thought that this seemingly accidental "traffic accident" turned out to be a premeditated robbery.

"I finally know what it means to have cold lips and teeth!" Liao Xiaohua cried with a sad face and sighed silently in his heart. (There is one more chapter today, especially to thank Brother Fang for his heavy reward!) )
