Chapter 1 001 [Traveling also requires luck]
September 7, 1980, Sunday
Luo Qihong was sitting on the threshold of the small workshop, holding a cigarette between the fingers of his right hand, looking at Looking at the small factory opposite, I was a little lost in thought.
He does not belong to this world. In his previous life, he was not called Luo Qihong. He had a name that he thought was nice: Luo Xinchao. But now he has to accept his fate because he can no longer go back to that world.
Luo Qihong is a newly graduated college student from the Hong Kong Polytechnic, majoring in electronic manufacturing engineering. Today's Hong Kong is at the peak of the development of the electronics industry. Electronics factories are everywhere, and the salary is not bad, 2,500 yuan. The monthly salary is comparable to that of white-collar workers wearing ties in Central. However, the original owner dislikes this job as not decent enough. He yearns for the core business circle like Central and wants to become a white-collar worker that most people envy.
However, the reality is very ugly. The original owner who just went to Central to look for a job found a job, but the salary was only 1,800 yuan, 700 yuan less than the original salary. This is the salary of an ordinary worker, so the original owner was very disappointed and entangled. Do you want to go back to your old business?
“This is Hong Kong in 1980.” Luo Qihong sighed. Because his voice was a bit loud, he immediately looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he felt a little relieved.
Luo Qihong knew that this was an era full of opportunities, but September 1980 was not a good time. The Wharf acquisition and the Hutchison Whampoa acquisition both happened in the first half of the year. If he traveled through time in the first half of the year, Come here, he should be able to make a lot of money from it. Having a net worth of hundreds of thousands is not a problem, but it is a pity that he is three months late.
TMD!
Traveling also requires luck! .
Luo Qihong sighed softly.
Luo Qihong is located in Kowloon Bay, an emerging industrial area. The Luo family is in the printing business. It is a family workshop. They cannot make a lot of money, but can barely make ends meet.
Luo Qihong, who is unemployed, helps out at home without any salary. Fortunately, his native family upholds the principle of diligence and frugality. Luo Qihong saved 6,000 yuan in salary during his internship and is not in a hurry to find a job now. .
The 1980s was a period when the Hong Kong stock market exploded. Chinese companies continued to conquer the stock market and competed fiercely with British companies. Many typical companies emerged.
The most legendary thing that Luo Qihong remembers is the Jianing Group Company owned by Chen Songqing, who is known as the biggest liar in Hong Kong. In just 5 years, it has jumped from a company with an asset value of more than 30 million to a large company with a market value of 3.6 billion. .
At this time, Jianing Company had acquired the Kinmen Building in Central from Kinmen Construction Company at a cost of 998 million yuan. This set a new record for properties in Central and made Jianing Company the most popular company in Hong Kong. It was welcomed and sought after by investors. .
On September 15, Jianing Company will announce that it has reached a preliminary agreement with Baishunning Group. Baishunning Group will purchase a majority of the interests in Kinmen Tower for 1.18 billion yuan. '
On the 16th, another announcement was made stating that the Baishunning Group Company was not a partial acquisition, but the entire Kinmen Building for 1.68 billion yuan. The Baishunning Group had already paid the deposit, and the transaction would be completed before October 31 Finish.
The Kinmen Building changed hands at the end of 1979. Only 9 months later, Carnegie Corporation made 680 million yuan, which was more than robbing a bank.
As soon as this good news came out, the stock price of Jianing Company skyrocketed from 8.6 yuan to 15.4 yuan, an increase of nearly 80%, and the huge profits were scary.
Of course Luo Qihong would not let go of such a good opportunity to make money.
With a principal of 6,000 yuan and one lot of 50 shares, you can buy about 14 lots, that is, 700 shares of Jianing Company stock. The profit earned is 4,800 yuan, and the principal will become more than 10,000 yuan. .
Of course Luo Qihong thought about borrowing money to speculate in stocks, but after integrating the memory of the original owner, Luo Qihong knew that the financial power of the family was in the hands of his mother, and he had to have a decent reason to get a penny. , he really couldn’t think of it, so he could only give up.
What? Borrow 'big ear hole' (loan sharking)?
Luo Qihong immediately kicked this idea out of his head. He knew very well that loans from banks and formal financial companies required collateral, and those irregular ones would only make the entire Luo family fall into trouble.
Although he has no relationship with the Luo family, Luo Qihong doesn't want to do things that harm others or himself. If he does, he will not be stable for the rest of his life. 6,000 yuan is just 6,000 yuan. It’s a little less, but it just takes more time. It’s a stable purchase.
"Ah Hong, are you going for an interview tomorrow?" A rather familiar voice came, causing Luo Qihong's memory to merge with the original owner's again, and his head started to hurt.
"Are you okay? I'll take you to the doctor." The speaker was Luo Qixing, Luo Qihong's eldest brother. Seeing Luo Qihong's ugly face, he thought Luo Qihong was sick.
The Luo family's family structure is very simple. My grandparents died early, and my father is an only son. There are only two children in the family, Luo Qihong and his eldest brother Luo Qixing.
Luo Qixing did not read many books and dropped out of school after he reached the fifth grade. Currently, his family's family-run printing business is run by his father Luo Zegui, his mother Lin Ya, and Luo Qixing. Although he does not make much money, it can make the Luo family live. Living a life without worries about food and clothing, Luo Qihong was able to successfully graduate from university thanks to this business.
Nowadays, Luo Qihong is an unemployed vagrant. He occasionally comes to help, reducing the burden on his family, and he can also eat and drink for free.
Luo Qihong waved his hand and said politely, "No, I'm just a little dizzy."
Luo Qixing is a relatively dull person. Luo Qihong stopped talking and sat aside blankly. Waiting for Luo Qihong's reply.
"I have an interview tomorrow morning but not in the afternoon. What's wrong? Is the eldest brother going out?" Luo Qihong asked with a smile after perfectly integrating the original owner's memory of Luo Qixing.
Luo Qixing nodded, his eyes evasive, as if he was shy, "Well, come back in the afternoon and take over for me. I have something to go out for."
"Okay! Then I'll be back early." Luo Qihong said with a smile on his face. With a faint smile.
Luo Qihong thought deep down in his heart that the Luo family that had traveled through time was pretty good. If he traveled through time to other bastard families, he would feel a lot of pressure.
The two brothers kept talking, and most of the topics were initiated by Luo Qihong. Luo Qixing turned into a terminator, and he could make Luo Qihong unable to speak any more.
More than half an hour passed. Luo Qihong put out his cigarette butt, returned to the simple and narrow room, and wrote down what would happen in the past few years. Some events were accurate to the year, month and day, and some events were not. It's only the year, because Luo Qihong can't remember it clearly.
After clearing his thoughts, Luo Qihong turned off the light bulb, lay on the bed and fell asleep.
In the dream, he was still in the prosperous 21st century, living a miserable but down-to-earth life in 996.
At 7 o'clock the next day, the Luo family got up on time to start work. Mom was responsible for everyone's breakfast, and they began to make some preparations to prevent them from being busy and wasting time later.
In fact, most people in Xiangjiang are very hard-working, and there are very few people lying flat on their backs. They all hope to work hard to change their living conditions.
After breakfast, Luo Qihong prepared and went out, holding all the original owner's deposits in his hand. His destination was HSBC Bank at 27 Queen's Road.
Luo Qihong stood in front of the Chinese People's Bank of China Building, feeling a little confused.
