Returning wealthy individuals develop their hometowns and become rich in the 1980s

Ever since Liu Kun reached an agreement with Hei Pi in the bungalow in Gaozhai that day, with the "General Manager Chen" mentioned by Liu Kuang as a powerful figure to keep him in check, and with Hei Pi being a man who eats anything and does anything without restraint, he would dare to commit murder and arson as long as there is a business that can make money, let alone a small foreign exchange business.

In the following days, a group of "new elites" suddenly emerged in the underground foreign exchange black market in Jiping Town and Nanshan District. They not only offered exchange rates higher than those of other black market operators, but also acted very ostentatiously.

They rented a street-facing shop in Dongmen Old Street and openly hung up a sign that read "Honest Foreign Exchange Consulting". Hei Pi also brought more than a dozen thugs from Hewlett-Packard's hometown, who were armed with steel pipes and had menacing faces. They guarded the shop entrance all day long, giving off an impression that strangers should not approach.

This sudden emergence of competitors caught those in Nanshan District who ran underground black markets completely off guard. In the current climate, with the country undergoing reform and opening up and cracking down on underground black markets, and with the deepening of reform and opening up, the supply of goods in the market is gradually increasing. In places like Tuocheng, Nanshan, and Zhaoyang District, which have been designated as special economic zones, the local black markets are slowly becoming sunset industries.

At this moment, Liu Kun, Pepper, and Blackie, these three brutes, emerged like a ray of light in the darkness. Their colleagues began to inquire about the background of these three thugs, wondering why they dared to do this.

"Have you heard? Those guys on Dongmen Old Street have gone mad, offering the highest exchange rate of anyone else!"

"Is it real? Could it be counterfeit money?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, cash transaction, no cheating! That boss, called Brother Kun, said he has powerful backers and isn't short of money at all!"

In just half a month, Liu Kun's "office" was already bustling with activity. The 500,000 brought by Hei Pi, plus the 200,000 in Liu Kun's hands, were circulating rapidly like a snowball.

Looking at the mountains of RMB and USD, Liu Kun and Pepper were completely blinded by greed, and they even had to count money in their dreams until they naturally woke up.

Those in the black market naturally found out about the three men's so-called backgrounds. Liu Kun and his group kept mentioning Boss Chen's name. In Tuocheng, when people in the black market talked about Boss Chen, they naturally associated him with the one from Lianzhai.

"Damn it, we can't let these three bastards keep messing things up, or they'll ruin our business!" Several black market operators gathered in one room, and one of them, a short, bald, fat man, slammed his hand on the table and cursed.

"If you ask me, we should just send a few brothers over and chop those three bastards to pieces!"

"You killed them, how are you going to explain this to the Chen family in Lianzhai? You took away their money bag, do you think they'll let you live a good life?" Another wiry man spoke up, "Do you think Chen Zaidong is really just a wealthy overseas businessman like the news reports say?"

"Let me tell you, those who went to Southeast Asia back then and survived were no ordinary people, let alone those who made their fortunes overseas. You're even more extraordinary. If you mess with Lianzhai's people, you're courting death!"

"Thin-skinned, don't be so quick to call for violence. This is a civilized society now," a man with a big beard said. "Fat Bird, don't be impatient either. Even if Chen from Lianzhai is not simple, we local bullies are not someone that powerful dragon can easily suppress."

"As the old saying goes, 'The river doesn't interfere with the river.' We've already given him a lot of face by not causing trouble at his construction site or factory. His people have now crossed the line."

Upon hearing the bearded man's words, the lean man, nicknamed "Bird Fat," asked, "Black Eyes, so tell me, what do you plan to do about this?"

Bo Pi then asked, "Yeah, Wu Mu, what are you planning to do? I can't take it anymore. My men all need to eat. We can't make any business every day, and I'm using up all my savings to support them."

"Let's contact that guy surnamed Chen first and see what he's thinking. If he really intends to break the rules, then we'll confront him directly," Wu Mu said with a gloomy face, outlining his plan. "I'll find someone in the next couple of days to take us to see that guy surnamed Chen. You can all go together then."

"good!"

In the Huaxing Garden residential area on Huanghe North Road in Nanshan District, as the buildings were completed and handed over to residents, people have been coming to view the apartments in droves. Most of them are people from the district who have received housing allocation approval slips from their work units.

Chen Zaixing had invited several sales managers from Hong Kong to train Huaxing Company. Four female sales representatives dressed in office lady outfits stood at the entrance of the sales office, warmly greeting people who came in to look at the houses with professional smiles.

The sales office was already packed with people looking at the model of the residential complex. It was the first time they had ever seen such a model of a residential complex. The surrounding environment and all the public facilities, such as supermarkets, parks, schools and hospitals, were clearly visible on the model.

The price of Huaxing Garden Community started at 500 yuan per square meter. Due to the hot sales during this period, Chen Zaixing decisively raised the price to 600 yuan per square meter with tears in his eyes. This was mainly because Chen Zaixing underestimated the savings of the people in Nanshan District of Tuocheng.

In an era when newspapers lavished praise on even a household with ten thousand yuan, Chen Zaixing naturally assumed that people were all rather poor. However, to his surprise, as soon as the property opened, upon hearing that the price was 500 yuan per square meter, people rushed into the sales office like madmen, shouting to sign contracts without even looking at the apartments.

On the first day, thirty 120-square-meter apartments and fifty-five 80-square-meter apartments were sold. This was only because Chen Zaixing saw that things were not going well and secretly asked the sales manager to hold back the signing of contracts. Otherwise, even more apartments would have been sold.

The reason these people are so crazy is not because they can easily come up with 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, but because the Tuocheng City government has specially launched the "334" housing subsidy policy in view of the reconstruction of Xiaogongyuan and parts of Nanshan District.

The so-called "3-3-4" policy means that the employer subsidizes 30% of the housing price, the special administrative region government subsidizes 30%, the individual pays 40%, and the property rights belong to the individual.

Tuocheng has always had a pioneering spirit, daring to be the first in the world. While other cities were still racking their brains about how to enable people to move into new homes after the reconstruction of the old city, the Tuocheng Municipal Committee, led by Zhou Haimin, took the lead and launched the "334" policy, intending to revitalize Tuocheng's real estate market in one fell swoop.

For example, an 80-square-meter apartment priced at 48,000 yuan per square meter, after the "334" discount, an individual only needs to pay 19,200 yuan to own a house in Huaxing Garden, currently the most valuable location in Nanshan District. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Moreover, people who can work in a company generally don't come from poor families. With their parents' savings and some borrowing from relatives and friends, they can easily afford an 80-square-meter apartment.

In China, parents are truly willing to empty their savings to fully support their children in buying a house!
