Chapter 47 Traditional women are just great!
After much deliberation, Zhang Guohao decided to act quickly, as land prices might be very high next year!
The current property prices in several luxury areas of Hong Kong Island are already HK$50,000 per thousand square feet, which is equivalent to one floor.
Compared to these luxury areas, Zhang Guohao is actually making a profit!
It's just that there are a lot of people from Shandong province here, and foreigners haven't invested or run businesses here. Otherwise, the housing prices here would still be going up.
"I tried my best!"
Liu San's eyes lit up when he heard about his reward.
Liu San knew that Zhang Guohao was generous, so he left room for maneuver when he quoted a price, just waiting for Zhang Guohao to explain the benefits!
Previously, Zhang Guohao complained about the high price, and Liu San was a little afraid that things would go wrong, but unexpectedly, it still ended up like this.
"Sir, you have real guts! I'll definitely do my best to help you accomplish this!"
Liu San quickly flattered Zhang Guohao again, trying to salvage the deal.
Although Zhang Guohao knew that Liu San's words might not be reliable and that he wouldn't immediately state the lowest possible price, Zhang Guohao was willing to pay for peace of mind. As long as Liu San could solve the problem and give him a reasonable price, he would be happy to make a profit.
Otherwise, why would I insist on going to Huaqing Pool to find Liu San? I spent fifty yuan just on the bath tickets. It's because I value Liu San's abilities and his greed!
He's greedy, so he'll work hard to earn more money. If he's kept in the lurch of money, he'll work himself to the bone!
"Alright, I'm not going to look at this owner anymore. Once you've finished negotiating, give me a price. If it's suitable, I'll come back and discuss it further."
Zhang Guohao said to Liu San, "Since we've spent money, we should make things easier for ourselves. Let Liu San talk to us first."
"I'll go right now and make sure we reach an agreement as soon as possible!"
Liu San bowed to Zhang Guohao, then turned and ran. Money is a wonderful thing; it can fully motivate people!
After seeing that Cheung Kwok-ho had finished discussing business, Hong-sheng tugged at Cheung Kwok-ho's sleeve.
"I saw that the old lady steamed buns, and they were really good, big and round. I want to learn how to make them."
Gang Sheng pointed to an old woman not far away and said.
The old woman was clearly from Shandong Province. She was tall, over 1.7 meters, even taller than Gang Sheng. Although her hair was gray, she was quick and agile.
The old woman clearly specialized in selling steamed buns. The large steamer basket for steaming the buns was over a meter long, yet she could lift it up with ease. The steamed buns were big and round, and each one looked very appetizing.
"Go."
Cheung Kwok-ho accompanied Hong-sang over and watched him chat with the old lady.
A pretty young girl, with a sweet tongue, easily gleaned the secret to steaming buns from the old woman during a chat.
Zhang Guohao lit a cigarette and watched Gangsheng chatting happily with the old lady, feeling very satisfied.
Traditional women are still the best. As long as you treat them well, are willing to spend money on them, and give them a home, they will cherish their men.
Knowing that Cheung Kwok-ho loves big white steamed buns, Hong Kong students saw that the bun makers were good at it and immediately wanted to learn how to make them.
What a wonderful girl!
"Come on, let's go get something good to eat, and I'll buy you some clothes!"
After Gang Sheng finished chatting with the old lady, bought more than ten steamed buns, and came back, Zhang Guohao said to Gang Sheng.
"No need, I've already bought steamed buns. Let's go back and try Grandma's cooking. We don't need to buy clothes either, I have plenty!"
When Hong Kong students heard what Zhang Guohao said, their first thought was to save money.
"I just got paid, and the boss gave me a day off. Let's go on a pleasure boat; it's a unique feature of Hong Kong Island."
Zhang Guohao grabbed Gang Sheng and said, leaving no room for refusal.
Hong Sheng stopped talking and followed Zhang Guohao with a smile to find a pleasure boat at the pier.
These pleasure boats, also called flower boats, used to be the business venues for women with skills. Various custom-made pleasure boats had all sorts of entertainment facilities, such as casinos and opium dens, all of which were dens of extravagance.
Later, when prostitution was officially banned on Hong Kong Island, these pleasure boats transformed themselves, focusing on restaurants and selling seafood.
Actually, there are quite a few girls singing and playing the pipa up there. If you want to have a deeper conversation, then you'll have to see if you can afford the price.
Zhang Guohao was also with Hong Kong students, so they definitely couldn't do those kinds of things. The two of them found a more reputable seafood restaurant and went aboard to enjoy the seafood.
Zhang Guohao is from the north and eats more river fish than seafood. Although Gangsheng is from Guangdong, he has never been to any fancy restaurants. The two of them ate seafood while learning how to eat.
"Brother Hao, this is so expensive."
As Gang Sheng helped Zhang Guohao peel crabs, he wrinkled his nose and said with some concern.
"Don't worry, we have money now. You should get used to it. We'll eat well and dress well. Don't keep thinking about the past."
Zhang Guohao enjoyed the service from Gangsheng and also reformed Gangsheng's thinking.
"I'm going to earn more money in the future, so I can live in a villa and drive a car. You can't expect me to still be eating three-cent wonton noodles from a street vendor, can you?"
"I'm also planning to enroll in a class together to learn English. In Hong Kong Island, you don't have to know the local dialect, but you must know English."
Zhang Guohao continued.
"Brother Hao is right, I will definitely study hard."
Gang Sheng nodded obediently. That was one of the good things about this girl—she was obedient.
Before it got dark, Cheung Kwok-ho and Hong Sang got off the pleasure boat and returned to Kowloon. The two of them went to several clothing stores and spent a few hundred dollars on new clothes.
Zhang Guohao also sent a telegram to his father, telling his family about his situation and urging them to come over as soon as possible. Of course, he also sent them a thousand yuan for travel expenses.
……
After the holiday, Zhang Guohao returned to the dock, where Boss Huo and the rest of the fleet were all back to work, full of energy.
After everyone received their salaries, they gave money to their families, bought food and drinks, and purchased new clothes.
They all looked like they had just celebrated the New Year, brimming with excitement.
"Ah Hao, did you hear? Yesterday was our day off, and our old rivals, the Number Gang, made some moves."
When Boss Huo saw Zhang Guohao coming over, he couldn't hide his excitement and said something.
"What's wrong?"
When Zhang Guohao saw Boss Huo's expression, he knew there was going to be some interesting things to hear.
"The number gang and the Dongfuhe gang are fighting! They're really patient; it's been almost half a month before they finally started!"
"If it were me, I would have intervened long ago. I heard that both sides mobilized hundreds of men and fought a fierce battle, with more than a dozen wounded and four or five dead."
Boss Huo couldn't help but smile and said to Zhang Guohao.
"When dogs fight, they get all messy."
Zhang Guohao was also very happy to hear this.
"Hahaha, I also heard that He Anle is fighting with the Number Gang. I heard that the Number Gang is sabotaging He Anle and withholding their funding, hahaha!"
Boss Huo laughed and laughed. His three old rivals were all in trouble, and it was even infighting! How could he not laugh!
