In the blink of an eye, it has been four days since I arrived in Hong Kong. Lin Mai has already purchased the equipment and even completed the customs shipment.
Hong Kong is really chaotic in this era. When checking in at the customs, you have to give red envelopes to the customs officers.
When the uncle and sister-in-law came out of the customs, Fang Zhuoyue wanted to go back to the hotel.
Hong Kong is so hot in July that if you stay under the sun, you are in danger of being cooked.
But Lin Mai wanted to visit Kowloon and the New Territories.
For her safety, Fang Zhuoyue had no choice but to sacrifice his life to accompany Junzi.
Although Kowloon and the New Territories were already very prosperous in the 1980s, what Lin Mai went to was not a prosperous area, but two undeveloped wastelands.
At this time, Hong Kong was not as populated as it would be in later decades, and every inch of land was at a premium. In this era, there were still a few pieces of wasteland.
Fang Zhuoran asked in confusion: "You are facing such a strong sun just to see these two wastelands?"
Lin Mai nodded: "I want to buy one or two pieces of land to build a house in Hong Kong."
"Are you crazy? Haven't you seen the advertisements for houses for sale all over the streets?"
Fang Zhuoyue noticed this phenomenon on the first day he came to Hong Kong, so he couldn't help shouting.
My sister-in-law is such a smart person, but she wants to buy land and build a building when others are selling their houses. Isn't this a mistake?
He continued to complain: ""You went out to get chicken blood, that's why you were so impulsive?
Or have you forgotten to hit the chicken blood, your IQ cannot occupy the high ground, and you have exposed your second-rate nature?"
Lin Mai squinted at him: "Are you itchy and you owe your brother a beating?"
Fang Zhuoyue touched his nose: "I think it's quite abnormal for you to buy land and build a building at this time."
"It's not that I'm abnormal, it's that you don't see business opportunities. If you buy two pieces of wasteland now and hoard it, then build a building and sell it, you will definitely make a lot of money."
Fang Zhuoyue advised: "I think you should not take risks. Do you know when Hong Kong's real estate market will pick up?
If things get better again in ten or eight years, then why don’t you hoard land for ten or eight years?”
"It's not impossible." Lin Mai said.
She had the idea of engaging in real estate in her previous life, but unfortunately the industry boss Mr. Wang didn't want to let her play with him, so she gave up the idea.
Although she has not been involved in real estate, she has conducted in-depth research on real estate.
So understand the development history of Hong Kong real estate.
Hong Kong real estate has developed rapidly since the late 1970s, and the real estate market reached its climax in 1981.
However, the subsequent global economic crisis and Sino-British negotiations on the Hong Kong issue caused a crisis of confidence among Hong Kong people.
At the end of 1982, Hong Kong property prices dropped 60% from 1981, and in 1983 the real estate market collapsed completely.
It was not until September 1984, after the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" was signed, that the market recovered again and then soared.
This year is already 1983. If you buy land and build a building at this time, and wait for the building to be completed, it will happen to be 1984, and you will be able to make a fortune.
Fang Zhuoyue was stunned: "You are really planning to stock up for ten or eight years!"
Lin Mai nodded.
The richest man in Hong Kong, Li, used to buy land in the Mainland and hoard it for ten or twenty years.
In the real estate industry, the phenomenon of land hoarding is actually very common, but Fang Zhuoyue in this era just doesn't understand it.
However, the richest man Li had bad intentions in hoarding land, and Lin Mai was very opposed to it and was extremely disgusted with it.
The richest man, Li, hoards land entirely for his own selfish gain.
He uses state loans to buy land, and when land prices rise, he sells the land to earn profits.
In this process, Mr. Li made a lot of money without having to pay a penny, put in any efforts, or bear any risk costs.
This model does not develop new real estate, does not provide jobs for construction workers, and does not promote urban development.
However, he cashed out 200 billion yuan, which directly harmed the interests of the country. He is simply a fighter among profiteers.
Lin Mai always abides by the bottom line of business. He can be a profiteer, but he cannot harm the interests of the country and the people.
In other words, if a gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way, it is better to be a good person.
After viewing the land, it was getting late. The two met with Fang Zhuoran and had lunch. In the afternoon, Lin Mai went to the Hong Kong Lands Department to purchase land.
The Director told her that in Hong Kong, government land is sold through public tendering.
If she wants to buy land, she has to participate in a bidding process, and the one with the highest price will get it.
Lin Mai asked when there would be an open tender.
The director said that during this period, the real estate market was in a downturn and it was impossible for the government to sell land for the time being.
Lin Mai was very disappointed when he heard this.
The director just received a big red envelope from her.
He took people's money, helped them eliminate disasters, and showed her a way.
It is said that some real estate companies bought land before. Due to the downturn in the real estate market, not to mention building buildings, even the companies were going bankrupt.
If this kind of company wants to transfer the land, Linmai can buy the transferred land.
Lin Mai placed an advertisement in the newspaper that day, seeking to purchase the land for transfer.
After coming out of the newspaper office, Lin Mai stopped by a bookstore when she saw "Thirty-Six Steps to Love" written on the cover of a book.
She was about to get married to Fang Zhuoran, but she knew nothing about that.
Should you buy a copy of "Thirty-Six Tips for Making Love" and study it carefully, otherwise you will feel like a dull fool on your wedding night.
But I’m so embarrassed to buy this kind of book, I have to pay Fang Zhuoyue.
Lin Mai fanned himself with his hand, cleared his throat, and told Fang Zhuoyue: "Go buy me an ice cream, I'm so hot."
Fang Zhuoyue stretched out his hand in front of her: "Money."
This guy is so poor that he can't even afford the money to buy ice cream.
Lin Mai gave him the money with a twitching corner of his mouth and watched him walk away. Then he slipped into the pornographic bookstore, picked up the book "Thirty-Six Steps to Love" and flipped through it quickly.
Each of the above postures opened her eyes and made her wonder.
Are you sure you're not doing acrobatics at such a high level of difficulty?
Lin Mai didn't dare to read more, mainly because she was afraid that if Fang Zhuoyue came back from buying ice cream and saw her reading this kind of book, she would be embarrassed to see others!
She blushed and told the landlady that she wanted to buy this book.
After the proprietress sold the book to her, she enthusiastically pulled her into the store: "My small bookstore not only sells books, but also videos.
If you want to learn postures, it’s not enough to just buy a book, you have to buy a video to watch.”
As he said that, he took several videos in a row and showed them to her.
Lin Mai glanced at the video tape shyly. The cover was so revealing.
Her eyes widened in surprise. She didn't expect that the island country where she had lived a good life would already have AV movies at this time. It was really open.
It's a pity that she has never seen an AV movie from her past life to this life, and she doesn't even know Teacher Cang.
Why not... buy two sets?
At this moment, Fang Zhuoyue came back from buying ice cream and reached out to snatch the video tapes.
After just one glance, his eyes widened in surprise: "Sister-in-law, you've only been in Hong Kong for a few days and you've already learned so much that you actually want to watch this kind of video!"
Lin Mai panicked and explained: "I never thought about watching this kind of video tape. The boss's wife recommended it to me."
Then he picked up a book and said, "I originally wanted to buy this book."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, before Fang Zhuoyue came back, she put the "Thirty-six Steps to Love" into her bag.
Otherwise, if my uncle saw her, she would be digging a hole in the ground to hide.
Fang Zhuoyue said oh, returned the videotape to the proprietress, took the book she had picked up and read it, and immediately smiled meaningfully.
Lin Mai took an ice cream cone from his hand, tore open the package and licked it. He stretched his head and glanced at the cover of the book, which read "How to Capture a Man's Heart".
Her face turned red. How come this small bookstore only sells this type of book?
Fang Zhuoyue searched twice on the bookshelf, took a book and handed it to Lin Mai: "This book is suitable for you."
Lin Mai took it and took a look. The title of the book was "How to Become a Little Goblin that Makes Men Worry"
Lin Mai didn't know what expression to put on for a moment, so he bought the book and left quickly.
When he returned to the hotel and met Fang Zhuoran, Fang Zhuoran secretly told him that Lin Mai bought two books.
One book is called "How to Capture a Man's Heart" and the other is called "How to Become a Man's Annoying Goblin".
After hearing this, Fang Zhuoran's mouth curved into a sweet smile.
