I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Victoria Street, Central, HSBC headquarters.

HSBC's current status on Hong Kong Island is self-evident, and there is even a folk saying that it is not the Hong Kong British government that controls Hong Kong Island, but HSBC.

In later generations, HSBC still dominates Hong Kong Island, and even the only rival Hang Seng Bank was acquired by him. Hong Kong people also like to buy a little HSBC stock every year, and then enjoy the high dividends of HSBC every year.

"Brother Li, trouble you! If it weren't for you, I'm afraid it would be difficult to enter this door!" Wu Guangyao said to Li Jia politely

Li Jia looked at Wu Guangyao who came to him for help, and admired Wu Guangyao very much. When the store on Wenxian East Street had only been open for a month, he had already started planning to open a branch.

"What are you talking about, we at HSBC don't have such a high threshold, ha...ha. Come on, I'll take you to see our manager William."

The two came out of an office talking and laughing and knocked on the door.

"Manager William, this is my friend Wu, who is also a businessman in a gold and silver shop. He wants to take a loan from our bank." Li Jia said in English to a foreigner in his forties.

Wu Guangyao took the initiative to say in English: "Hello, Manager William, my name is Wu Guangyao, and I am the owner of Lao Fengxiang Gold and Silver Shop."

Manager William seemed to know Lao Fengxiang's deeds and exaggeratedly said: "OH, Wu, you are too young! I know Lao Fengxiang Gold and Silver Shop, many of its business models have created a precedent on Hong Kong Island. I just didn't expect that their The boss is so young, yet you can speak so fluent English!"

"Thank you for the compliment!" Wu Guangyao has already begun to thank the English language, which has brought him a lot of convenience.

Then Manager William invited the two to sit down and began to talk. At first, he didn't get into the topic. Manager William was also very good at talking. He even knew the situation of the gold and silver shops on Hong Kong Island, and he was obviously a know-it-all.

"Manager William, this is a financial statement of our gold and silver shop that I have compiled. Let me show you!"

Wu Guangyao handed over a few sheets of paper with financial statements that he had sorted out.

"Financial statement? What is that?" Manager William looked puzzled

"Financial statements are accounting statements that reflect the company's capital and profit status for a certain period of time, which is convenient for people to understand the company's situation at a glance..." Wu Guangyao said eloquently

While listening to Wu Guangyao's explanation, Manager William looked at Lao Fengxiang's financial statement in his hand.

Manager William watched it earnestly for more than 10 minutes, then looked up and said in surprise:

"Wu, you are a genius. There are many tables in here, which are worth promoting by any company. Such as these balance sheets, profit and loss statements, cash flow statements, etc. Can I leave this information and study for a while?"

"Of course, but about my loan, you see?" Wu Guangyao said cautiously

"I'm going to give this to Li Jia to investigate on the spot. If there is no problem, then your HKD 60,000 loan will be approved quickly."

Wu Guangyao and Li Jia walked out of the HSBC headquarters, Li Jia said with a smile: "Manager William means that this is done, but I just need to go to your store to inspect, I believe there is no problem, after all, your store's business is obvious to all. of!"

"Then I'll trouble Brother Li. I'm in a hurry to spend money recently. Please Brother Li to help me speed up the process!" Wu Guangyao has to speed up his pace. The new store will be opened within two months, so the sooner the loan is, the better the loan will be. it is good.

Li Jia patted Wu Guangyao on the shoulder and said friendly: "Don't worry! Your business is mine!"

"Let's have dinner together that night! Call Brother Zhao and Brother Guan" Wu Guangyao made an invitation and called Zhao Xi and Guan Yi.

"Okay, it's fine to get together, I don't know what they are busy with recently!"

Ruyun Restaurant

Wu Guangyao, Zhao Xi, Li Jia, and Guan Yi exchanged cups.

Great conversation.

Zhao Xi happily said to Wu Guangyao: "Brother, you are ready to open a new store, it's incredible!"

Wu Guangyao thought to himself that if he hadn't come through, he would have the courage to put up all his assets so quickly and still owe a lot of debt.

"Forced by the situation!" Wu Guangyao pretended to be eloquent. As a friend, it wouldn't hurt to analyze the future situation occasionally.

This time, the three of them became interested again. Could it be that this one has some great ideas, they all looked at Wu Guangyao.

"Tell the brothers, what kind of situation is this?" Guan Yi was most concerned about current affairs, so he was the first to speak.

Wu Guangyao rationalized his thoughts and removed what he could not say.

"What I call the situation is that because of the war on the mainland, the population of Hong Kong Island will rapidly increase by a large amount, doubling, doubling, or even tripling."

"When these people come, they won't leave. Even the British Hong Kong government will not think of this. They thought that these people are just here to take refuge, so in the end, the management will become very chaotic."

"These people include refugees from Guangdong Province, as well as a large number of wealthy businessmen from the mainland. These wealthy businessmen not only brought gold and silver wealth, but also brought factory equipment and technology. In the future, Hong Kong Island will develop rapidly because of them."

"After these wealthy businessmen come to Hong Kong Island, they naturally need a foothold urgently, so they need to sell their gold and silver. Or they can exchange foreign currency in their hands, or even buy gold with higher purity as a store of value."

"I'm not the only one staring at this piece of fat!"

Wu Guangyao finally sighed: "If I don't plan ahead, how many bites can I eat from this piece of fat?"

The three of them were quite excited when they heard such dry goods.

Zhao Xi got up and said, "Brother, do you think the mainland is going to change?"

Wu Guangyao said quickly: "It's not easy to talk nonsense, anyway, they are all Chinese people, whoever wins the hearts and minds of the people will win the world!"

Zhao Xi seemed to realize something, and said quickly, "Then you say I want to persuade my parents to come to Hong Kong Island?"

"Come on! Family reunion is very good, and Hong Kong Island also needs us to guard the motherland! We can't let the sun never set the empire to occupy and leave! Hong Kong Island will return to the embrace of the motherland sooner or later!" Wu Guangyao said loudly

This sentence is not wrong. The older generation of Hong Kong Island always has the motherland in their hearts, and when it comes to patriotism, they are no worse than anyone else.

In the place of liberation, the mainland urgently needed such goods as steel, cotton, medicines, etc. It was the patriotic businessmen on Hong Kong Island who took part in the responsibility, imported them from the West, and then transported them back to the mainland through Hong Kong Island.

Don't say that these businessmen are motivated by profit-seeking. They are actually patriotic, and it is natural to recover the cost. Otherwise, how can they continue to be the goods transfer station in the mainland.

Later generations of mainland officials have praised these businessmen, which is the best proof. Many businessmen hang the names of patriotic businessmen.

Another example is the war that began in 1950. Businessmen on Hong Kong Island also smuggled iron barrels, medicines, cotton and other urgently needed goods for the mainland. This is an indelible contribution.

Fok Yingdong is the best proof, and the motherland has also given him the honor he deserves.

Thinking of this, Wu Guangyao seemed to be thinking, although he planned not to care about Zhengzhi, but he had to care about the people of the motherland.

If you have money later, you should buy some iron buckets, medicines, and cotton-padded clothes in advance, put them in the warehouse, and give them to Huo Yingdong when he needs them in the future.

Because he is a long-term sea freighter and is familiar with the environment, it is much better to leave it to him than blindly transporting it yourself!

As for the honor, you can earn it later!

For example, during the period of reform and opening up, I could do a lot of things for the sake of the motherland.

Build walls high, store grain widely, and be proud of it slowly. That's the truth!
