Chapter 176: Business Starts

Sitting on the futon in the secret realm, Li Guocheng was still in a state of contemplation.

There is plenty of time in the decade to design higher-performance CPUs, and network processing power is a top priority.

Li Guocheng buried himself in writing until 10 o'clock in the evening, walked out of the secret realm on time, and sat cross-legged directly on the newly bought mat to meditate.

For the convenience of life, a corner is set aside in the storeroom of the secret realm to place commodes and buckets. Because the secret realm has an automatic purification function, there is no fear of unpleasant smells in the secret realm.

During the day, when you arrive in a no-man's land, you can empty the commode, clean it and put it back in the secret place.

The next day, Li Guocheng continued to wear a coat to the old place and spread the stall open. Slowly, there were more vendors around, and the streets woke up.

Li Guocheng took out the hardwood he had collected on the way to escape and began to carve it to exercise his mental power. Because it was a stall, he relaxed, as if he had forgotten his skills, and his demeanor was leisurely, and the sawdust fluttered and fell onto the oilcloth under his feet.

Slowly, Li Guocheng seemed to have caught something, and he was busy concentrating, but the feeling flew somewhere with the sawdust.

Li Guocheng shook his head slightly, and the carving knife in his hand did not stop. After a while, a big rooster appeared in his hand with his head held high.

“O,my Gold! So beautyful!", a surprised female voice came into Li Guocheng's ears.

"Great art! Is this rooster for sale in you? Another male voice came into his ears.

When I looked up, I saw two foreign devils.

Li Guocheng thought that he had met a bosom friend and sold two words, which made him smell the smell of copper. Li Guocheng shouted angrily in his heart: "Forget it, let these copper smells pollute me!" ”

"Since you also love art, just give a price", Li Guocheng sold a pass, and he gave it to you without saying that you offered a price.

The lady was about to speak, when the annoying man reached out and pulled her, "$100."

Li Guocheng was happy in his heart, but he showed a hesitant look on the surface, and after a few seconds, he gritted his teeth, as if he was reluctant, first slowly and then quickly, and handed it to the lady in front of him.

"Great art, for beautiful ladies", at this time, Li Guocheng looked free and easy.

The man hurriedly stepped forward and handed Li Guocheng $100.

Li Guocheng took the $100 and casually threw it into the small open drawer.

At the man's signal, the two left the stall. Li Guocheng hurriedly put 100 US dollars into the secret realm, 800 Hong Kong dollars. At present, the income of ordinary citizens in Hong Kong ranges from 500~2500.

Li Guocheng earned $100 in half a morning, hoping to meet such a foreigner with a lot of money and stupidity every day.

The lady who left said angrily, "Tony, such a great work of art, you only give 100 dollars!" Didn't you see that he was in a special state when he carved just now, and maybe he will never be able to enter such a state in the future?"

"Hehe, Rousi, he was attracted by your beauty, and he made the mistake of Chinese people who love face, so take it as a lesson for him."

If Tony's words were known to Li Guocheng, he would tell Mr. Tony, "This kind of sculpture, no, a better sculpture than this, for only 50 dollars, I can bankrupt you."

Originally, Li Guocheng told the inquirer that it was 50 Hong Kong dollars, but he didn't expect that foreigners who like art would actually receive 100 US dollars, and looking at his expression, it seemed that he had taken a big advantage.

Originally, Li Guocheng's purpose in setting up a stall was just to wait for the person opposite, and he didn't want to make money, so he asked for 50 Hong Kong dollars.

In this case, Li Guocheng, who knows how rare things are expensive, is ready to carve a fine product for more than one month, and the asking price cannot be less than 1,000 US dollars. Then carve some animals at will, sell them for 50 Hong Kong dollars, love to buy them or not.

In the days that followed, Li Guocheng carved in the morning to make money while waiting for the little rabbit. In the afternoon, I go home to write a book or design a circuit board. In the evening, learn Cantonese for an hour. Then go back to the house and continue to work.

A month passed like this, and the time entered the end of August.

With Li Guocheng's learning and memory ability, in fact, the commonly used Cantonese has been spoken very standard. Ah Zhi knew it, but he was pretending to be confused, and Li Guocheng pretended not to know after knowing the reason.

Perhaps because he felt that he had taken advantage of Li Guocheng, after renting a house for a week, Ah Zhi offered to be in charge of Li Guocheng's dinner. The meal money means a little, and he received 10 Hong Kong dollars from Li Guocheng.

I also happened to hear Brother Ji say that Ah Zhi's current tuition fees are all earned by work-study, and he is saving for college. Ah Zhi is strong and rarely accepts help from Brother Hua.

But Li Guocheng knew that she thought that Brother Hua was just glamorous on the surface, but in fact, life was not good. After all, the flour is someone else's, and Brother Hua is just a small shack owner who watches the field.

She has been persuading Brother Hua to quit flour, but it has been ineffective. The reason why I don't want to see Brother Hua now is also because of Sister Zhen's departure. Sister Zhen is Brother Hua's ex-girlfriend, and Ah Zhi has always thought that they were a natural pair.

These are all things that Ah Zhi said slowly during dinner. She described Sister Zhen as having in the sky and not in the ground, and sometimes Li Guocheng wanted to meet the famous Sister Zhen.

Halfway through, Li Guocheng made another deal for a piglet, and Li Guocheng named it Peppa. This time, it was a middle-aged foreigner who bought him and slaughtered him with 1,000 US dollars.

This made Li Guocheng happy for a long time, it doesn't matter if he has money or not, of course, this is what Li Guocheng himself said, the important thing is that his works are appreciated, and he is willing to spend a lot of money on the collection.

If Li Guocheng knows that some of his works, in the 21st century, auction houses have actually sold high prices, I don't know what kind of mood he is in now.

At the end of the month, Li Guocheng gathered his assets.

In Yuen Long, Brother Long exchanged 2,250 Hong Kong dollars, used 500 Hong Kong dollars to buy clothes and documents, 100 Hong Kong dollars for rent, and paid less than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars for tuition and meals to the small landlord for more than a month.

The income from the sale of sculptures in more than a month is about 1,100 US dollars + 600 Hong Kong dollars, about more than 9,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Compared with the current ordinary citizens of Hong Kong, Li Guocheng feels that he has entered the high-income group. If you count the gold in the secret realm, tsk, I can't think about it, it's so beautiful.

The reason why he is so happy is that Li Guocheng earned it with his own hands and completely belonged to him.

On the premise of helping the country develop science and technology, engage in some small inventions to make money. The profits were invested in the Hong Kong stock market, and in the famous Hong Kong 73 stock market crash, his wealth was magnified to prepare for the reform and opening of China.

As a person of later generations, as long as you are interested in business and stocks, you know that at the end of the 60s, Hong Kong entered the era of Sihui, and the Hong Kong stock market began to take off.

But the current stocks are unfamiliar, and they are not easy to buy and sell. Some stocks that were familiar to later generations, such as Hang Seng Bank, Cheung Kong Asset, Sun Hung Kai Properties and New World Development, were not seen.

Wait a little longer, wait for the Far Eastern Exchange to be formed, and then buy it.
