Chapter 237: Leaving the West (Part II)
"It seems that the gentleman is a knowledgeable man," the shopkeeper praised with a smile, "This pocket watch was the death of a down-and-out nobleman from Europe, and I heard that it was the work of a famous Swiss watchmaker." ”
Xu Changqing smiled and didn't say anything. He didn't actually know any famous pocket watches, and the reason why he chose this pocket watch was mainly because there was a strong aura on the pocket watch. The so-called all kinds of arts in the world, can become enlightened, any craft in the world is used to the extreme, you can enter the Tao, the maker of this pocket watch is only afraid that it is also a person who has entered the Tao, otherwise this ordinary pocket watch can not have such a strong aura.
"Shop, this pocket watch ......"
Xu Changqing was about to ask about the price of the pocket watch, but someone at the door of the store continued: "Boss Su, this pocket watch is recorded in my account." Also, anything this gentleman buys in the store is recorded in my account. Then he saw the man walk in, and saluted respectfully in front of Xu Changqing: "I have seen Mr. again, and I greet Mr."
Xu Changqing turned his head to look at the person and said, "It turned out to be you, aren't you supposed to deal with the Chen family's side industry in Guangzhou? How could you be in Hong Kong?"
The person who came was Chen Hui, the son of the Chen family who Xu Changqing recommended to Chen Deshang back then, and is now the head of the Chen family's industry in Hong Kong. Although Chen Hui only responded to a scene in the middle of this north-south peace talks and did not play any role, because of Chen Deshang's help, he occupied a place in the eyes of the revolutionary army and the Foreign Taoist League. Therefore, after the establishment of the new regime, he took up the post of chief of customs in Guangzhou on behalf of the Chen family, and was in charge of the import and export of goods between Guangzhou and abroad.
"Yesterday, I received a telegram from the head of the family, knowing that my husband was coming to Hong Kong to take a cruise, so I put down my things in Guangzhou and went back to Hong Kong to wait for my husband. Chen Hui lowered his head and explained: "I hope that during Mr. Hong Kong, he can go to Youqing to sit there, so that Youqing's aura can be sticky in the burrow." ”
Chen Hui's humble appearance surprised the owner of the dress shop, Chen Hui is already a well-known celebrity in the Hong Kong business community, except for not having the title of a Justice of the Peace, his strength can be said to be the top spot in the Hong Kong business community. Especially in his successful mergers and acquisitions of several foreigner trading companies a year ago, he has a reputation no less than Chen Huilan, who was at the helm of the Chen family in Hong Kong. Such a powerful celebrity is like a subordinate who is respectful to the young man in front of him, and he also performs the teacher's ceremony, which can't help but make people think about it, and guess Xu Changqing's identity again and again.
"It's probably not a coincidence that you'll just appear in this store!" Just as others were speculating, Xu Changqing smiled coldly, looked at Chen Hui, and said with a slight sneer.
Chen Hui scratched his head in embarrassment, and said apologetically: "Youqing is also eager to see Mr., so he will let people wait at the dock to see if Mr. has arrived in Hong Kong, and I hope Mr. will not blame!"
Xu Changqing looked Chen Hui up and down with cold eyes, and saw that cold sweat was breaking out on his head, before he said slowly: "You should know that my character doesn't like to beat around the bush, if you have something to say, just say it! Counting you, you are also a talent recommended by me, if you encounter any trouble, I will not be happy on my face." Now let's be honest and see if I can help you solve it during this time in Hong Kong. ”
Chen Hui hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "Youqing has indeed encountered a little trouble, and I hope that Mr. can save me." ”
Saying that, Chen Hui instructed the shopkeeper to wrap a few sets of clothes and pocket watches that Xu Changqing had bought, and then let the subordinates waiting at the door take them, while he led Xu Changqing into a carriage waiting outside the door, and then instructed the coachman to go to Tsim Sha Tsui. When only he and Xu Changqing were left in the car, he slowly said the predicament he was encountering now.
It turned out that Chen Hui accidentally learned that the British government in Hong Kong was planning to build a large number of buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui, not only to expand the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, but also to build a railway station connecting to Guangzhou, and to build this area into a high-end residential area. With his intellect, it is not difficult to see the huge business opportunities involved, so he invested nearly 70% of the funds on hand to buy the land around Tsim Sha Tsui. Now the land at both ends of Tsim Sha Tsui has been bought, only a large piece of land in the middle has not moved, if the middle piece of land cannot be bought, then Chen Hui's land in hand is equivalent to waste land, and the value is devalued.
At present, this vital piece of land is in the hands of Ho Ching-sang, a large landowner and Justice of the Peace in Hong Kong, and since this land is his ancestral property, no matter who comes to talk about it, he has no intention of selling it. Until a few days ago, He Zhengsheng suddenly changed his mind and was willing to sell the land at a low price, but there was also a condition attached to it, which was to cure his son's hysteria.
I don't know why He Zhengsheng's son, who had just returned from studying in the UK, suddenly went crazy, not only spoke a strange language, but also hurt people from time to time, seven or eight people have been stabbed by him, and even his mother was injured by him. Since Chinese and Western medicine could not find any reason, some people said that it was an evil spirit, so He Zhengsheng asked people to find many famous monks and Taoists to come to exorcise evil spirits, but with little success, and finally had to use this similar method of offering rewards to ask people in Hong Kong business circles for help.
Although Chen Hui's purchase of land in Tsim Sha Tsui was very secretive, many people still saw clues from it and heard the news. As a result, the entire Hong Kong business community has their eyes on the piece of land in Ho Ching-sheng's hand, hoping to buy it, because they know very well that no matter whether the land is sold to the Chen family at a high price or stayed for future exhibitions, it will not be a loss-making transaction.
"It seems that many people have tried to exorcise evil spirits for this young master of the He family, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry. Xu Changqing turned his head to look at Chen Hui with a sad face, and continued: "And some of them have done a good job, and they are about to succeed." ”
"It was exactly as the gentleman expected. Chen Hui smiled bitterly, nodded, and said: "There are two families in the Hong Kong business community who have the strength to compete with our Chen family, one is the Tan family who just came to Hong Kong from Nanyang in recent years, and the other is the Zeng family, which was born and raised in Hong Kong, especially Zeng Shangyun, the head of the Zeng family, he and He Zhengsheng are cousins. These two families each invited a mage, and the young master of the He family exorcised evil spirits, although it was effective afterwards, but the young master of the He family was sometimes good and sometimes bad. It just so happened that Mr. came to Hong Kong at this time, so Youqing wanted to invite Mr. to treat the young master of the He family on behalf of the Chen family. ”
