I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Spring 1947

The huge cruise ship sailed on the wide sea, the huge chimneys billowed thick smoke, and occasionally a loud bang was deafening.

This ship belongs to the British business Swire Cruises, and it is only a short voyage from Shanghai to Hong Kong Island. It can also reach the Philippines, Singapore, Europe and other places. It is a true international liner.

From Shanghai to Hong Kong Island, the liner took about 3 days to sail, which made Wu Guangyao miss the plane.

Wu Guangyao, dressed in a suit, stands tall and straight at the railing of the cruise ship deck.

The sea breeze blows on his resolute and handsome face, looking at the endless sea, his thoughts are full of thoughts.

A dream come true?

As a greasy young and middle-aged man in the 21st century, I have read a lot of online novels, and I really thought about going through the situation where this kind of thing happened.

It's just that things really happened, and it took a lot of time to get used to it.

In the 21st century, when I am middle-aged, I have a happy family (there are always regrets), a successful career (so-so), and a wide range of contacts (all friends), but I have nothing to be dissatisfied with (if I am not satisfied, I can also How about it).

Because the general environment of the industry is not good due to the epidemic, Wu Guangyao decided to close his small mold workshop and take his family to climb Mount Tai to relax.

Women are always troublesome, and they always dislike Wu Guangyao for not taking pictures and waiting for Yunyun along the way.

Wu Guangyao was ruthless and planned to find a tricky angle to take a beautiful photo of this yellow-faced woman who was about to be middle-aged.

The words "No Climbing" were ignored by Wu Guangyao, who climbed over the guardrail and stepped on the edge of the cliff.

Wu Guangyao is very satisfied with his work and is planning to ask his wife for credit.

Who knew that when I got up, I felt a little dizzy and dizzy, and then when I stepped back, I fell into a cliff.

I don't know who the yellow-faced woman will be cheaper in the future? Will my son change his surname?

This is Wu Guangyao's last thought!

Wu Guangyao did not really die, but his soul transmigrated into the body of a 16-year-old young man in the Republic of China.

The original owner was also surnamed Wu. He belonged to the second generation of officials in the Republic of China and ran away from trouble. He went to Shanghai from his hometown of Zhejiang, intending to take refuge with his uncle, a wealthy businessman.

Who knows, because I don't look at the road when I walk, my foot is caught by a stone on the road in the suburbs of Shanghai.

Then he died, and Wu Guangyao successfully received this body and some memories.

When he arrived at his uncle's house in Shanghai, Wu Guangyao considered his future survival while adapting to the new environment.

A week later, Wu Guangyao borrowed a sum of money from his uncle in the name of his parents and planned to run to Hong Kong Island.

As for the reason?

Naturally, it was because of his poor family composition, but he didn't want to be transformed, so he had to keep running.

Wu Guangyao is no stranger to Hong Kong Island, and it can be said that he understands it very well.

Because I am also a businessman, I admire and envy those wealthy people on Hong Kong Island.

So I often look up the information, and I imagine that one day I can do something like them and repay the motherland.

"Master, let's go in and rest for a while, the sea breeze is weird, if you have any good or bad, how can I explain to the master and madam!"

Wu Guangyao turned around, looked at his thin servant, and said, "Brother Fang, it may be difficult for us to return to the mainland once we go, what else can we explain!"

Brother Fang said, "I won't go back if I don't go back. I grew up with the young master since I was a child. Where the young master goes, I will go there!"

Wu Guangyao smiled and did not speak, the old problems of the old society are gone!

At the beginning, he gave money to tell Brother Fang to go, but he didn't want to.

Said that he has no father and no mother, and without the young master, he is like a savage without a home.

The two then walked into the cabin and returned to their sleeping cabin.

In order to ensure the safety of their money, the two chose to squeeze into a sleeping cabin, and Brother Fang could only make the floor at night.

The original owner caused a big disaster. At the suggestion of his mother, he escaped from Zhejiang and went to Shanghai to seek refuge with his uncle while his father was out of office.

Naturally, the mother was reluctant for her son to endure hardship outside, so she gave a lot of her own gold and silver treasures; in addition, Wu Guangyao's uncle's house in Shanghai borrowed a little gold and silver hard currency, so she was considered a small fortune.

According to Wu Guangyao's inquiries in Shanghai Ocean Bank, this gold and silver treasure is probably worth 20,000 Hong Kong dollars.

At this time, the monthly salary of a clerk or translator on Hong Kong Island is about 50 Hong Kong dollars. It is conceivable how much wealth 20,000 Hong Kong dollars is.

For this reason, after getting on the liner, Wu Guangyao divided the gold and silver treasures into two parts, and he and Fang Ge'er each carried one part with them to disperse the danger.

"Master, it's time to eat, it's almost dark!"

Brother Fang is a little strange. Ever since the young master was knocked unconscious, he always likes to be alone in a daze.

"Let's go, pay attention to be vigilant at all times!"

This money is the key to his own life and cannot be lost, so Wu Guangyao has been very focused on the boat.

When they came to the restaurant, there were already a lot of people. The two of them ordered a little meal and found a corner to eat.

Wu Guangyao looked at the people in the restaurant while eating.

The entire restaurant is basically of Asian faces. Obviously, there are class divisions on this liner, and foreigners are probably in the upper cabin.

If you look more closely, you will find that most of the people in the restaurant are some businessmen who bring their families, or Chinese who work for foreign companies.

After the outbreak of the war, wealthy businessmen with foresight began to flee the mainland. Of course, the peak period will start next year.

Wu Guangyao couldn't help but think of his parents in this life, they should be able to retreat to the treasure island!

After all, my father was also an important official of the provincial government, and a figure of great importance in the Republic of China.

Although he didn't have many feelings, Wu Guangyao still planned to send someone back to Zhejiang to persuade him after he settled down in Xiangjiang later.

"Master, with so many people taking their families to Hong Kong Island, will Hong Kong Island be very prosperous? How does it compare to Shanghai?"

Brother Fang asked curiously, but he obviously forgot that his young master had never been there.

"It shouldn't be as prosperous as Shanghai now, and it should be even more prosperous in the future! After all, a stable environment is very important. Besides, behind Hong Kong is an old and powerful country, so there will be even greater opportunities!"

As soon as Wu Guangyao finished speaking, a voice came from behind: "Little brother is also optimistic about Hong Kong Island?"

Before Wu Guangyao turned around, someone came to Wu Guangyao, a 30-year-old man with oily hair and a suit.

"I'm sorry, I overheard the conversation between the two of you!" the person said politely.

"Who are you?" Wu Guangyao said.

"Can we chat together? Can I sit here?" The man seemed to be very interested in Wu Guangyao, with a hopeful expression on his face.

Wu Guangyao was a little uneasy in his heart, he would not meet political figures, and he did not want to participate in those things.

"Of course, please take a seat!" Wu Guangyao said politely, not wanting to complain to anyone.

After sitting down, Wu Guangyao planned to take the initiative and said, "My name is Wu Guangyao, I'm going to do some business on Hong Kong Island, who is this gentleman?"

The visitor was obviously taken aback, thinking that he had met a freshman student!

Unexpectedly, this student has no youth at all, but instead gives people a feeling that he has a lot of social experience.

"My name is Zhao Xi. I work at Jardine Matheson on Hong Kong Island. This time I'm going back to Shanghai to visit my family!"

After the conversation between the two, Wu Guangyao firmly grasped the initiative, and everything involved politics, saying that he did not care about it, and he just planned to go to Hong Kong Island to seek a life.

Even so, Zhao Xi couldn't help but secretly amazed that this man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, but he was very sophisticated in conversation and always had a confident expression on his face, which made Zhao Xi look up to Wu Guangyao.

Before leaving, he left an address on Hong Kong Island and asked Wu Guangyao to have a meal with him when he was free.

For three days, Wu Guangyao kept a low profile, only appearing in the restaurant occasionally, and the rest were in the room.

Although Wu Guangyao is only 16 years old, he wears a mature suit, so people who are interested will always think that they are a progressive student or an international student.

Occasionally, someone approached him and talked about topics that he did not dare to dabble in, but Wu Guangyao dismissed him because he was illiterate and could not understand.

Wearing a mature suit is because Wu Guangyao intends to do business on Hong Kong Island, so that he can appear older.

Unexpectedly, it caused some trouble, but fortunately, the foreigners on the liner have been patrolling, and they are not worried about safety.

I met Zhao Xi on the way, and the two continued to chat about business and international affairs.

Zhao Xi was still quite shocked. This young man who looked only seventeen or eighteen knew so many things.
