Chapter 007: Settle Down

Six Nations Hotel, Wan Chai.

"Sir, your coffee!"

The waiter served the coffee very professionally and politely, with respect and envy in his eyes.

After a few days of observation, the waiter thinks that the young man in front of him, who likes to come here to drink coffee, must be a child of a big family, enjoys a high level of education, and has an elite temperament cultivated since childhood, and his every move is so 'identity'.

Lin Zhichao lowered the newspaper slightly, and then said to the waiter: "Three oils", and signaled to put it on the table.

Packed with a good B!

"Please use it slowly, the dim sum will be ready soon."

Lin Zhichao then read the newspaper, and soon he found out what he needed to see: 'The Hong Kong government has decided to lift the blockade of Beacon Hill' and 'attract a large number of people to go up the mountain in search of gold'.

The news is important to him because it means he can sell gold without any trouble. Because the Hong Kong government unsealed Beacon Hill, it means that whoever finds the gold belongs to whom, and there is no such thing as 'handing over the pennant'.

Of course, there could be no trouble, after all, Hong Kong's gold shops and silver numbers don't care where your gold comes from. After it melts, no one knows where the gold comes from.

However, in order to be foolproof, Lin Zhichao still chose to wait in the hotel for a few days to see the situation before making plans.

At this time, Lin Zhichao, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, combed his oily head, and carried a watch in his left hand, he had become a 'master' just by dressing up, and he became a rich second generation of rich and powerful.

Whoever sees Lin Zhichao will not underestimate him, after all, in this era, rich people are respected, and ordinary people can't afford to mess with them.

The price of doing so is naturally his more than 1,800 yuan in savings, which has been almost used.

Of course, he now only has 37.5 kg of gold in his hand, and he carries 10 kg of this gold with him in his bag, and the other 27.5 kg of gold in a hidden place in the hotel room.

As far as he knew, the Six Nations Hotel was also a place that thieves liked to visit, so he had to be careful.

For Lin Zhichao, even if it is 10KG of gold, he can develop in recent years.

Therefore, although he is cautious everywhere, his mood is very calm, and there is no nervous or anxious look.

Putting down the newspaper, Lin Zhichao leisurely drank coffee and ate snacks, and he was in a very good mood at this moment.

........

Following.

Lin Zhichao took a rickshaw to the Hang Seng Silver in Central, carrying a bag in his hand.

As soon as I walked into the Hang Seng Silver Account, I saw a counter surrounded by iron bars, in which three or four staff members were busy, and there were customers selling gold and silver, and even small yellow croaker.

In the room in the counter, there is a scale, a sack. They are all in the business of buying and selling gold and silver, and there are big words written on the iron fence such as 'buying and selling gold and silver' and 'foreign exchange payment'.

At this time, the Hang Seng Bank is not yet Hang Seng Bank, and there may not be any 'savings' and 'loans' business. Hang Seng Silver is not a well-known name in Hong Kong, and the Bank of East Asia is the leading Chinese financial institution.

An outside clerk, seeing Lin Zhichao's appearance of a powerful man, stepped forward and greeted: "Sir, what business do you need to handle?" ”

Lin Zhichao said in a sloppy manner: "Is Mr. Shanheng here?" I'm his friend. ”

The staff immediately said in a polite voice: "Manager He is usually in charge of business in Macau, not in Hong Kong. ”

Lin Zhichao didn't feel embarrassed, and his face just deliberately showed disappointment.

The clerk was in a mood, worried about missing something, so he immediately said: "Manager He Tian is here, or I will inform you for you, so as not to delay your big event." ”

When he saw Lin Zhichao's appearance, he was immediately worried that he had missed a big deal and missed a big business.

That's what I'm waiting for.

Lin Zhichao paused a little and said, "Okay, they are all the founders of Hang Seng Silver, just look for him!" ”

When the staff went to report, Lin Zhichao observed the hall, where the business of buying and selling gold and silver was still quite busy, and there were even many large accounts. Everyone is not so nervous, it is a normal business.

Since this year, the wealthy people from the mainland have come to Hong Kong to settle down and set up factories, or to diversify their wealth, they naturally need to exchange their gold, silver, and foreign currency in exchange for local currency.

After a while, Lin Zhichao was introduced to the office inside.

After some introduction, He Tian said: "I don't know what Lin Sheng is looking for Shanheng, if it is urgent, I can call you immediately!" ”

He is not stupid, he knows that Lin Zhichao may have a business to do, not really looking for He Shanheng.

However, Lin Zhichao's speech and demeanor, coupled with his temperament, are all worthy of communication, maybe there is really a big business and a big deal.

Lin Zhichao handed a bag to He Tian and said, "I want to do something in Hong Kong, so I plan to exchange some gold and ask my friends to give a fair price." ”

He Tian took the bag with a smile, but his hand sank, and his expression suddenly paused, he didn't expect it to be so heavy.

I took out 10 gold bars, and it was naturally very heavy, almost 25kg! Lin Zhichao has good physical fitness, so he naturally doesn't think it, but ordinary people feel a little heavy.

"Very pure gold" He Tian lightly stroked on the gold and immediately praised.

It's alchemy!

Many of the owners of gold shops and silver horns are proficient in this way, and according to Lin Zhichao, Lee Shau Kee is known as a 'miraculous power' in this regard. As long as he lightly scratches on the gold bar, he knows the solid color of the gold bar, and few people can take advantage of it in his hands.

Lin Zhichao sat in his position, not minding that the gold in his hands was in the hands of others, and the Hang Seng Silver could grow into Hang Seng Bank, and the credibility of these people was still worth reassuring. What's more, Lin Zhichao only took out 10 gold bars, and there are 40 more in the Six Nations Hotel, Beacon Hill, and Lion Rock.

"Of course, I won't deceive in front of experts, wouldn't it be a shame."

He Tian smiled and immediately said, "Lin Sheng has won the award!" Since Lin Sheng trusts us so much, well, I will exchange it for you immediately according to today's price. ”

In a short time, 10 gold bars (666 taels, Hong Kong system) have been exchanged for 181,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Some of the bars have worn off, but recently gold has risen to HK$285 per tael, and of course a commission is required for Hang Seng Silver.

Lin Zhichao put the money in his bag and praised: "Hang Seng Silver is really reputable and financially strong. Looks like I made the right choice! ”

He Tian said politely: "Boss Lin is polite, if there is still gold next time, you can come to me again to exchange it." After speaking, he handed Lin Zhichao a famous post.

He didn't hand people the name card easily, but he thought that Lin Zhichao sold 666 taels of gold at one time, and there was no tension on his face, so he felt that he was a character.

Lin Zhichao carefully put away the name card and said: "The gold is gone, but I hope to continue to cooperate in the future." ”

"Of course"

After a polite remark, Lin Zhichao left the Hang Seng Silver and rushed towards HSBC, where he needed to deposit the money into his account.

After Lin Zhichao left, He Tian came to Liang Zhiwei's office with gold and talked about it.

Liang Zhiwei touched the gold and soon found that it had been polished.

"Isn't this gold found on Beacon Hill?"

He Tian said: "I also thought that this was the case, but that young man was calm and calm, and he should not be from an ordinary family. ”

Liang Zhiwei said with a smile: "That's strange, would the children of big families still go looking for gold." ”

He Tian smiled and said, "Whatever, there is no problem with gold." ”

The two talked a few words about Lin Zhichao, and then they no longer took it to heart.

.........

Lin Zhichao came to Seymour Road in the mid-levels, and a landlord received him to see the house.

This is a arcade building, a total of three floors high, one floor and one household.

Walking into the second floor of the arcade, the landlord opened a door and showed him inside.

"Lin Sheng, this house is surrounded by the buildings of some famous families in Xiangjiang, and the security is very high, and the second floor to be rented is more than 1......,500 square feet," the landlord introduced casually, as if he didn't have to worry about renting it out at all.

Lin Zhichao looked at the room briefly, and then said with satisfaction: "He Sheng, I like this suite very much, you can tell me the price!" ”

The landlord is not surprised, the house in Xiangjiang is very tight.

"The top fee is 3,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the monthly rent fee is 300 Hong Kong dollars, which is paid once a year. Rents increase every year according to the market. ”

Sure enough, there is a top fee, but it is acceptable.

If it is another half a year, I am afraid that it will have to be doubled, and the further you go, the more it will be doubled.

Hong Kong people who fled to the mainland during the fall of Hong Kong are lucky to be able to find a place when they return to Hong Kong, even if many families are huddled together. Many people slept on the streets, at the bottom of stairs and corridors, while others erected rudimentary makeshift houses under the threat of typhoons, torrential rains and fires.

Therefore, despite the government's repeated orders to control rents, the serious imbalance between supply and demand has caused the rental of houses to be transferred from the countertop to the bottom of the countertop. This kind of transaction is a matter of mutual affection, and the government cannot help it.

If the war in the mainland starts in full swing and the rich flee to Hong Kong, the more expensive it will be.

"No problem with the price! However, I have paid this top fee now, and the rent will expire next year, so He Shengling will not have another request for a top fee, right? ”

After all, the landlord He Sheng didn't know the future market, so he said calmly: "How can I do this kind of thing that violates morality, not to mention that the Hong Kong government also has lease terms." Lin Sheng is really not at ease, we can make a clear note on the rental contract, the rent for the next year will be adjusted according to the market, but the top fee will never charge you another point. ”

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "I'll rest assured, okay, let's find a place to sign the contract!" ”

The rent can be raised, but it is not that the landlord can increase it as much as he wants, the Hong Kong government has regulations, and the maximum price is 450 Hong Kong dollars per month.

As for why Lin Zhichao didn't buy a house?

The main thing is that he doesn't feel the need to put a lot of money on the house, and the security of this mid-level house can be better guaranteed.
