Hong Kong Storm: The King of Jobs

Chapter 22: Doing Business

Early the next morning, Chi Mengli woke up Bo Xidong who was sleeping on a folding bed in the living room. After washing up, they left the house.

The elevator was still the same as before, filled with citizens going to work.

Although Chi Mengli was not in a hurry this time, he really couldn't bear to waste his life like this, so he threw a Red Double Happiness cigarette to Bocaidong and called his trusted henchman who was still sleepy to go up the stairs.

The two went to the tea restaurant downstairs and ordered French toast and coffee, but they did not eat in the tea restaurant because it was so crowded that there was no place to stand. They could only pack up their breakfast and enjoy it in the car. They also picked up a copy of the day's newspaper.

Although Chi Mengli went to university in his previous life, he had never passed the CET-4 and could not understand the English newspaper in his hand.

However, important information released by the Governor's Office, the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary and the Attorney General are all published in English in the Hong Kong editions of the Times, the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian and the Financial Times.

For example, the reclamation in Shau Kei Wan, the construction of new housing estates, and the removal of tin-roofed wooden huts on the hills of Shau Kei Wan.

The future development of Shau Kei Wan will definitely be very good. After all, it is close to the core area of ​​Hong Kong Island and is only a dozen kilometers away from Central, Wan Chai and Causeway Bay.

Many of the four major foreign companies have shifted their attention to Shau Kei Wan. Little Superman, the Li brothers, and the Guo family, a group of big real estate developers, are all secretly acquiring land.

It was now 78. In 85, seven years later, land reclamation was successful, the subway and the Island Eastern Corridor were built, and Shau Kei Wan became the most developed area in Hong Kong Island.

The price of tenement buildings in Shau Kei Wan is low now, and you can buy one for no more than 60,000. There are small processing factories everywhere, and the prices are not expensive, with a lot of them costing just over 100,000. The Chief Secretary is no longer selling the building land he has, but applications for commercial and residential buildings are still going smoothly.

You can buy a piece of land for hundreds of thousands and build a commercial and residential building of no more than ten floors with less than 500,000 or 600,000 yuan. By the millennium, it may be worth hundreds of millions.

It is a bit late for Chi Mengli to learn English now. People cannot learn knowledge that they resist from the bottom of their hearts, but it is still easy to find a college student who knows English.

He threw the newspaper aside and lowered his head to eat. After they finished their meal, he asked Bocaidong to take him to the telephone company to install a telephone for his home.

I arrived at the telephone company, completed all the formalities, paid a two hundred dollar installation fee, a one hundred dollar handling fee, selected a phone number for fifty dollars, and spent another three hundred dollars to buy the latest model of digital push-button phone. I agreed on a time for installation, and left the telephone company with a thick stack of documents.

"Go to Central, the Master's Building."

Chi Mengli stuffed a cigarette of DHS into his mouth and lit it with the lighter in the armrest box. Mickey Bear really knows how to enjoy himself. He used the money from the letterhead to buy a Toyota Supra A40.

This is a sports car developed in imitation of European sports cars. The interior is also relatively luxurious, equipped with leather seats, air conditioning, electric sunroof, cruise control and other configurations.

Of course, Mickey Bear didn't spend much money to find the waterwheel ox. Such a Japanese sports car, with a full set of registration procedures, only costs more than 70,000 yuan.

The original owner is quite sad because the sports car he bought for hundreds of thousands of dollars became someone else's car.

You should know that Toyota Supra A40 has not yet entered the North American market, let alone the Hong Kong market. It is now only sold in the Japanese market. After Mickey Bear placed the order, Shuiche Niu notified his Japanese counterparts, took action that night, and shipped it the next morning.

We arrived in Macau on the third day, had our frame number simply modified at the modification factory, boarded the ship that evening, and arrived at Wan Chai Pier on the Hong Kong River on the fourth day.

Big Buffalo can solve all your problems and ensure smooth sailing.

He looked at the Zippo lighter in his hand and felt that it felt good and should be a genuine product. He was just in need of a decent lighter.

King's Road was still jammed, and it was better after we passed the Cross-Harbour Tunnel. The journey that was supposed to take half an hour took more than an hour.

Hong Kong people like to give people nicknames, and the Chief Secretary also used localized titles for a while, calling barristers "Master Ye". This trend has been passed down from generation to generation and cannot be completely changed.

In Hong Kong, lawyers and Queen's Counsel are two different professions. Although they both provide legal services, their duties and roles in the legal system are significantly different.

An attorney is typically a junior staff member at a law firm and is responsible for handling a variety of legal matters, including civil, criminal and commercial cases.

Their duties are mainly to provide basic legal services, including legal advice, drafting documents, and representing clients in court.

In contrast, Queen's Counsel are senior legal professionals who usually serve as partners or senior consultants in law firms and are responsible for handling more complex and advanced legal matters.

The duties of a Queen's Counsel are mainly to provide clients with complex legal strategies, legal analysis and advanced legal representation services.

Chi Mengli's needs are very simple. He doesn't need to go to court. He just needs to apply for a minibus route, register a minibus operating company, and an advertising company. This does not require a royal master.

Bo Xidong went to park the car, and Chi Mengli stood in the lobby of the lawyer's building, looking for a suitable law firm.

From the bilingual Chinese and English company distribution signs, he quickly locked onto a law firm, Luo Wenjin Law Firm.

Among the prominent families in Hong Kong, the Luo family is the most unique, with most of its members being practicing lawyers.

Hong Kong is a legal society, and the Law family is the oldest lawyer family. Their status in the upper class is unmatched to this day. Three members of the Law family have served as members of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council.

The current head of the Luo family is Luo Daluo, Luo Decheng. His father is the famous Sir Luo Wenjin, and his mother is the eldest daughter of Ho Tung.

In fact, the wealth of Luo Wenjin Law Firm can be seen from the floor where the company is located. It is on the eighth floor. Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui and want to seek a good start in everything they do.

Chi Mengli needs a strong helper, someone who can help her deal with the troublesome people as long as she pays a lot of money.

"Boss, the parking fee here is really expensive, two dollars an hour."

"Pounce on the street."

Bo Xidong walked to Chi Mengli with a briefcase, complaining non-stop.

"You know it's expensive, but why don't you run away? Let's go to the eighth floor."

Chi Mengli made up his mind, so he took the lead and walked to the elevator. Under the close watch of the security guard, the two of them walked into the elevator.

"Eighth floor, thank you."

The South Asian elevator attendant, wearing a headscarf, pressed the eighth floor button and looked at the two of them with a smile on his face.

Under the heated gaze, Chi Mengli reacted immediately, took out a one-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to the South Asian elevator attendant.
