Chapter 81: Childhood Sweethearts (For the Inconvenience Caused to Book Friends)

Li Ling had all kinds of information about this era in his mind, and after thinking about it slightly, he remembered more than a dozen Hong Kong Island people who graduated from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Public School.

All stars.

Xu Zishan, Li Huimin, Lin Feng...... They are all too young to go to secondary school yet.

Wang Mingquan...... has graduated for many years, and now it is very popular.

Guan Shuyi, Liu Jialing...... They have all graduated, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Association has built four secondary schools in Hong Kong, and they are enrolled in the 'North Point Jiangsu and Zhejiang Public School', which is on Hong Kong Island, and has to cross the sea from Victoria Harbour and is dozens of miles away from Sha Tin.

This famous mainland girl has graduated from North Point Jiangsu and Zhejiang Public School, and in November last year, TVB recruited for the exam, she went to register and successfully stood out.

In January this year, she enrolled in the 12th artist training class, and will soon star in her screen debut in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

Once a star debuts, they all pay attention to pomp and circumstance, and the social circle is tight, and it is quite difficult to meet them.

Who else?

Li Ling continued to think, and only the last star remained.

Li Ruotong.

"Huh? This sister graduated from Shatin Jiangsu and Zhejiang Public School? ”

Li Ruotong is the old dragon girl in the 95 version of "Condor", and the information shows that she is a student of the middle school next to her, born in 1967, 16 years old this year, and is in secondary 4.

If history hadn't changed, she would have graduated from the preparatory department in 1986 without applying to university, and was directly admitted to Cathay Pacific as a flight attendant in the same year, and made her debut in the entertainment industry in 1990.

Li Ling looked at the time, it was only half past ten in the morning, Li Ling picked up the newspaper and began to flip through it, looking at the recent news.

Let's pick out "Ming Pao" first.

Today's date is Friday, May 6, 1983.

The headline used a bold exclamation mark: "When will house prices fall?" ”

The editorial gives detailed data:

"Since the outbreak of the global economic crisis at the end of the 70s, housing prices on Hong Kong Island have fallen for three consecutive years, and the floor price of industrial land in Kowloon Bay, Kwun Tong District, has fallen from the highest price of $360 per square foot in December 1980 to the current $21, a drop of 93%.

"The floor price of high-end commercial and residential land on South Bay Road on Hong Kong Island has dropped from the highest price of $1,500 per square foot to the current $390, a drop of 74%."

"The market prices in Happy Valley, Ho Man Tin, Stanley, Victoria Peak, Repulse Bay, and almost all residential areas on Hong Kong Island have been cut in half, with an average drop of 50 percent."

"The market is sluggish, the buildings are vacant, and China and Britain have opened sovereignty negotiations, and the future is unclear, which has led to a surge in the business of large and small immigration companies......"

Li Ling snorted after browsing, what developed cities, housing prices have fallen into the abyss, and they all collapsed immediately, and they are all developed!

He also pulled out the "Sing Tao Daily", which is known for its financial expertise, and the current stock market is also not optimistic:

"In July 1981, the Hang Seng Index of the Hong Kong Island stock market rose to an all-time high of 1,810.2 points, and closed at 1,405.8 points at the end of the year, a slight decline of 4.6% for the year."

"In 1982, the Hang Seng Index fell from the next level and closed at 783.8 points at the end of the year, plummeting 44.2% for the year."

"This year, the stock market has been plagued by the future of Hong Kong Island, with the Hang Seng Index fluctuating between 676 and 970 points, and the index rising in response to progress in Sino-British negotiations; The negotiations have reached an impasse, the index has fallen sharply, and the capricious and huge fluctuations have come to an end, and there will be no peace on Hong Kong Island......"

When Li Ling saw this, his mind suddenly became active, the stock market crashed, wouldn't it be a godsend opportunity to buy the bottom?

But buying the bottom requires a lot of capital, otherwise the income will be very low, he needs to get a sum of money first, and then play the stock market with sufficient funds.

Next, he watched the left-leaning "Hong Kong Island Business Daily", and today's editorial mainly revolves around the exchange rate:

"Three years ago, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar was 4.976, and the following year it depreciated by 10 percent, with an average exchange rate of 5.589."

"Last year, the Hong Kong dollar depreciated by 8 percent, with an average exchange rate of 6.086."

"The depreciation this year is even greater, as of yesterday, May 5, the exchange rate is 7.375, and the depreciation has exceeded 20 percent."

"Speculation in foreign exchange has led to soaring prices and panic buying, the existing floating exchange rate system is obviously outdated, and it is urgent to introduce a suppressive policy as soon as possible, if the authorities are helpless to deal with people's livelihood issues, please step down as soon as possible and return to their hometowns......

Li Ling watched more than a dozen newspapers in a row, and found that the front pages were all related to the economic situation and Sino-British negotiations, and the only entertainment news focused on was the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant final to be held two days later.

This year, the situation on Hong Kong Island is sluggish, and citizens are panicking and are staring at their money bags.

The stock market fell.

The property market collapsed.

The Hong Kong dollar has depreciated significantly.

In 1983, Hong Kong Island was at the brink of an economic crisis, but Li Ling knew very well that when the Sino-British negotiations ended in December next year, the market would immediately stabilize and give rise to a round of explosive growth.

It was not until the global stock market crash in 1987 that the economy weakened again, but the property market was still strong that year, and from next year onwards, Hong Kong Island housing prices will reach a new level every year, and the bull market will continue for more than ten years.

Li Ling was very energetic, and the newsstand owner didn't urge him after he came, and looked at a salty and wet magazine by himself.

This is a big fat man, his eyes are shaky, and the cover of the magazine is a big boobs girl, revealing a white flesh, and there are so few clothes!

Li Ling glanced at it several times, and said in his heart, who is this Boba sister? It looked like he couldn't think of it.

Lin Baozai was also peeking at it, almost squirting nosebleeds, and there was a kind of lightning shock in his heart, he lived thirteen years old, and he had never seen what a woman in a swimsuit looked like, and the first brother was like this.

The fat man looked at him, raised the magazine in his hand, pointed at the big boobs, and smiled thief:

"Little pretty boy, do you know her? Shaw Brothers' new meat bullet Sister Iman, at the beginning of the year, she acted in the salty and wet drama "Beauty and Fragrance", which is super exciting, and the seventh edition also publishes the real army, come to a copy? ”

Lam Po Tsai's head 'buzzed! 'I was stunned, and I hung my head like a thief, where did I dare to talk.

"Don't peek, little kid!" Li Ling patted Lin Baozai's head.

Bao Zai bowed his head and didn't speak, Li Ling asked the boss: "Fat guy, what kind of magazine is this?" ”

"Sapphire! Hong Kong Island's No. 1 salty and wet weekly, only charge you five yuan, the talented Ni crazy pseudonym Hong Xin in the third edition of the hot novel "Fairy Hand High Flying", I guarantee you have enjoyed it! "The fat man immediately turned to the sales target.

"Ni Mad? A talented man writes salty and wet novels? He's such a! Li Ling pursed his lips, he didn't have the slightest affection for this yellow-skinned and white-hearted banana man.

"As long as the remuneration is high, it doesn't matter if it's cheap to the bones, and you can't eat it as a meal!" The fat man's point of view is incisive.

"Five dollars is too expensive, I'll buy it for five cents!" Li Ling began to bargain.

"Five millimeters? Just enough to buy a cover! Pretty boy, I see that you are stylish and good-looking, and you are extraordinary, and you need a big booba to cultivate your sentiment, I will give you a discount, four yuan eight! Just four pieces of eight! Sister Iman's original photo is yours! ”

"Cultivating sentiments? Fat guy, you are so eloquent, why don't you host "Happy Tonight"? Li Ling was amused, he gave the bus driver's comment to the fat man, and added his own feelings,

"You and Sister Fat are a perfect match, I will support you to be a comedy star, and give your future die-hard fans a discount, how about it?"

"Die-hard? For these two words of you, I will reduce you by two cents, four dollars and six! ”

"Got four!"

"Go to Six! I'll sell you at a fixed price! ”

You're paralyzed, shouldn't magazines be sold at a fixed price? Li Ling despises his black heart!

Picking out a few more newspapers, he went to the school gate to find Lin Baozai.

Lin Baozai saw him holding the magazine, and asked with a sad face: "Brother Ah Ling, can I take a look?" ”

"No problem." Li Ling joked: "Bao Zai, have you ever been in love in your hometown?" ”

"I'm so popular with girls!" Lin Baozai's child bragged and said:

"Brother Aling, my old bean mother sends money back to the mainland every month, I am the richest man in the school, my principal is not as rich as my family, my teacher is very good to me, my classmates are chasing me to play, I have patted and dragged with my female classmates, and even pulled my hands!"

"Yo, take the little hand? I can't see that you are a little love saint who hides but does not reveal it! ”

"I don't dare to be a love saint, I'm competitive at most!" Lin Baozai was shy.

"I'm so good, now that the young ladies are out of school, do you want to find someone to talk to!"

Lin Baozai turned his head to see that all the black pressure was a young and beautiful girl, he was stunned, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step.

"Go!" Li Ling pushed him, "What are you doing stupidly?" Don't be cowardly, just do it! Just go! ”

"No, Brother Aling, I, I'm thin-skinned sometimes!" Lin Baozai scratched his ears and cheeks, his face was full of shame, and he vomited.

"You tell me to be brave, or I'll make a joke!" He lowered his head and pondered, where is my courage hidden? Liang Jingru, please give me some courage!!

Li Ling stopped teasing him, and asked with a smile: "You tell the truth, did you take the initiative to hold your classmate's hand, or did your classmate pull your hand in turn?" ”

Lin Baozai twisted and pinched, and replied honestly: "We have known each other since elementary school, she pulled my hand first, I didn't let her pull, she pulled it!" Before I came to Hong Kong Island, she went to my uncle's house to find me and asked me to write to her. ”

"Then you must remember to write." Li Ling began to educate him, "A good sister of a childhood sweetheart is too rare, you must cherish her." ”

Lin Baozai was ignorant, and he was ashamed to talk about this kind of thing, "Brother Aling, I'm not bragging, I don't want to talk to you!" ”

"Brother is joking with you, remember to have the opportunity to go back to your hometown in the future and chase your childhood sweetheart back." Li Ling beckoned him to leave, "Let's go, have a meal, and send you home." ”

I don't know why, Li Ling felt a little uncomfortable, damn, Lao Tzu didn't even have a childhood sweetheart, so sad! It's so pathetic!!
