Chapter 4 First visit to Hong Kong

“Stocks are Sasi(what)?”

It’s understandable to go to Hong Kong. Who wouldn’t want to go to Hong Kong to see the world after making money, but this was the first time Tao Tao heard the term stocks.

In fact, Po doesn't know what stocks are. All he can think about now is going to Hong Kong and meeting Xuezhi.

"To put it bluntly, a company splits off part of its own equity and trades it in the market. People who are optimistic about the company's prospects can spend money to buy the company's stocks, which is equivalent to betting on the company's stocks.

If the value goes up, you make money; if the value goes down, you lose money.”

Hearing what Qin Hao said, Tao Tao looked stunned: "How much can you earn?"

Qin Hao was delighted. When most people heard this, their first reaction would be that the risk was so high, and they would stay away from it. But Tao Tao thought about how much money he could make.

"Let's put it this way, I earned one million after working hard for a year. If I buy a stock, maybe it will become two million tomorrow."

"How can you earn so much?" Tao Tao was speechless.

"But by the same token, one million shares bought today may become a pile of waste paper tomorrow."

"Ouch, is it so scary? Then I'd better not touch it."

In the middle of the night, Tao Tao and A Bao went home together. Not long after they came downstairs, A Bao clutched his stomach and looked in pain.

"Abao, what's wrong with you?"

"I suddenly have a stomachache. Why don't you go back first while I go to the toilet."

After saying this, Abao was about to go upstairs, but Tao Tao's words made him freeze in place.

"But, the toilet is over there, why are you going upstairs?"

"Okay, don't you just want Hao to take you to Hong Kong to find Xuezhi? What? Are you afraid that I will look down on you?"

Facing A Bao's surprised look, Tao Tao stepped forward and hooked his neck, laughing and scolding: "How come we are also brothers in bare pants who grew up together? How can you hide your little thoughts from me?"

Abao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Okay, I admit, I do want to go to Hong Kong. I want to see what kind of life she lives in Hong Kong, otherwise I will not be at ease for the rest of my life."

"Oh, I knew it was like this."

Tao Tao said, helping A Bao tidy up his clothes: "Go back, you should also get some decent clothes before you go."

"Remember, when you go to Hong Kong, you are not just Po, you represent us Shanghai men. Do you have to fight for face? Don't embarrass us Shanghai men!"

"Um."

"I won't give you the money. You can only spend Hong Kong dollars there. Ah Hao will definitely prepare it for you. I won't go to see you off at that time. The shop has been busy recently, so I'm leaving."

After saying that, Tao Tao turned around and left. When he reached the intersection, he waved without looking back. The dim street lights on the alley made his back look long.

"What does this guy look like? Really..." Abao complained, but his eyes were full of emotion.

........

Qin Hao was not surprised that A Bao left and returned. After letting him in, he said nothing and waited quietly for him to speak.

"Ah Hao, please take me to Hong Kong with you."

Qin Hao poured him a glass of water: "Go and get your passport tomorrow, and also tell your parents so they don't worry."

In the play, Po has a brother who was adopted and moved to Hong Kong when he was a child. Later, contact was lost due to special circumstances. It is now 1986, so Po's brother must have been in contact with his parents.

Qin Hao remembered that A Bao received a letter from his brother in 1987. His brother helped get A Bao's first foreign trade order. He was able to give A Bao a try with a foreign trade order worth five million US dollars.

This brother is definitely not easy in Hong Kong, and he may be useful.

"You...don't ask me why I'm going to Hong Kong?" Abao was obviously stunned when he saw Qin Hao agreeing so simply.

Qin Hao patted Abao on the arm and laughed and scolded: "If Tao Tao can see it, can I see it? Okay, get out of here, I'm going to bed, there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow."

"oh."

That night, Po went home and told him about going to Hong Kong, and then he learned something that shocked him extremely. He actually had a brother in Hong Kong.

"Well, anyway, you have to apply for a passport before going to Hong Kong. I'll contact your brother later and I'll have someone to take care of you when you get there."

Now Abao couldn't sleep at all. Going to see Xuezhi originally was enough to make him tangled, but now a brother he had never met appeared again. He stayed up until almost dawn before he was called up to apply for a passport.

On the other side, Qin Hao has already gone to the police station to fill in the documents for applying for a passport. He has been busy all morning. There were so many people who wanted to go abroad in the 1980s. The passport was only the first step. They had to apply for a visa later. Hong Kong still had

There is no return, and because of cultural similarities and developed economy, many people want to go to Hong Kong, and it is not easy to get a visa.

But this problem was quickly solved. Abao's brother sent an invitation letter over there, inviting Qin Hao and Abao to Hong Kong for inspection in the name of the company. With this invitation letter, the rest is fine.

Too much to do.

Of course, Qin Hao was not idle during the process of applying for passports and visas. He exchanged 20,000 Hong Kong dollars from the black market and spent another 200,000 to buy 16,000 shares of Yanzhong Industrial shares from private hands.

Yanzhong Industrial is one of the earliest joint-stock companies listed in Shanghai. There are eight such companies in Shanghai, which are called "old eight-share" by Shanghai investors. At this time, the Shanghai Stock Exchange has not yet been established, and Yanzhong Industrial's stocks have not yet been established.

It is just circulated among private individuals, somewhat similar to the private equity model.

Qin Hao's purchase price was 12 yuan and 50 cents. When Yanzhong Industrial raised shares last year, the price was 10 yuan. The fundraising situation was not very good. If you spend more time, you might be able to get it at a lower price, but

For Qin Hao, time is the most precious, and there is nothing wrong with spending more money.

Because in half a year, Yanzhong Industrial will be publicly sold through the ICBC platform and become the first batch of publicly issued stocks in China. It will be very easy for the price to increase several times by then.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It was almost a month later that the passport and visa were all processed. During this period, Qin Hao was not idle either. He found a channel to exchange foreign exchange through the dealer.

I converted the remaining 850,000 RMB on hand into 150,000 US dollars.

I have to say that these days, as long as there is a way to trade foreign exchange, it is really profitable. In China, 1 U.S. dollar can be exchanged for 3.45 RMB through formal channels. Qin Hao’s conversion of these U.S. dollars is almost 5.7:1.

"Ah Hao, is it really okay for you to let them put so much money into my brother's account?" Ah Bao asked worriedly.

Abao couldn't trust this brother who suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Qin Hao spread his hands and said, "What if? It's such a huge amount of money. How can we carry it with our bodies? If we are discovered by the customs, we will go to jail."

Abao was speechless.

Two days later, Qin Hao and Abao boarded a flight to Guangzhou. At this time, there were no direct flights from Shanghai to Hong Kong, and Shenzhen Airport had not yet started construction, so they had to take a connecting flight to Guangzhou first.

Fortunately, the distance was not far. On May 6, 1986, Qin Hao and Abao finally arrived in Hong Kong.

I followed the crowds all the way out of the airport, and not far away, I saw a man who looked about 60-70% similar to Po, waving to the two of them.

The moment Abao saw the other person, the strangeness in his heart suddenly dissipated and was replaced by excitement.

"Ah Bao, you have grown so tall, um, you have become more handsome." The man first gave Ah Bao a hug, and then stared at him for a while.

Abao was still a little nervous and didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Is this the Ah Hao you often talk about? My name is Liu Sen, you can just call me Ah Sen."

It can be seen that Liu Sen is a well-rounded person. Even if it was the first time to meet his biological brother, he did not ignore Qin Hao, a guest.

"Brother Sen." Qin Hao smiled calmly and held the other person's hand.

Liu Sen's eyes obviously stayed on Qin Hao's face for a few seconds, nodded slightly, and then put his arm around Abao's shoulders: "Let's go, I'll take you to the hotel first."

Abao was a little silent along the way. He really didn't know what to talk to this brother. However, Qin Hao and Liu Sen talked a lot about astronomy, geography, literature and movies. Liu Sen only felt that the more they talked, the more speculative they became. At the same time, he felt sorry for his brother.

A brother in red pants, aroused a lot of interest.

The car stopped in front of the Peninsula Hotel. The hotel doorman was very enthusiastic to help with the luggage. Liu Sen was also very generous and gave him a tip of 100 Hong Kong dollars. Bao was stunned. This was his two months' salary.

.

"No wonder so many people want to come to Hong Kong. It's so easy to make money here, right?" Po thought of Xuezhi again, feeling a little frustrated.

Liu Sen made a hotel reservation early in the morning, took the room card and took the two of them to the elevator.

"This is the most prosperous Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong. I specially booked a high-rise hotel for you. You can see the sea across the window. Especially at night, the night view of Hong Kong is still very good."

Qin Hao was used to it. When Abao took the elevator, he was already a little dazzled. He originally thought that Shanghai was already very good, but compared with the prosperity in front of him, it fell far behind.

"Ah Hao, you take a rest first, I'll show Ah Bao the room." Liu Sen handed the room card to Qin Hao.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Sen." Qin Hao smiled and nodded.

The corner of Abao's mouth moved, but in the end he said nothing and followed Liu Sen into the room.

Liu Sen naturally noticed A Bao's nervousness and handed him a bottle of mineral water: "I know this is the first time we meet, you are still very strange to me, but we are brothers, with the same blood flowing in our bodies, our relationship should be

We should be closer than your bare-pants brothers."

"Have you ever complained about your parents..."

Before Abao finished speaking, Liu Sen smiled and shook his head: "Actually, sometimes, I'm quite lucky that my parents sent me to the Liu family. Otherwise, I really can't imagine living in Shanghai.

How can we survive such a hard life for twenty years?"

With that said, Liu Sen walked up to A Bao and put his hands on his shoulders: "Brother, for the hardships you have endured over the years, I will find opportunities to make up for you. Whatever you want, as long as it is what I have, I will definitely do it."

I won’t be stingy.”

"Brother...I, I haven't suffered much, and I don't have to make up for it..."

Liu Sen suddenly raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "Oh, really? Then you don't need my help to find the whereabouts of Xuezhi?"

"This is what I want..." Abao hurriedly raised his head, only to see Liu Sen looking at him with a joking look. He was immediately embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl directly into it.

Liu Sen knew that A Bao had a low reputation, so he stopped teasing him. After asking about his parents' current situation, he offered to take them to dinner.

A group of three people came to the restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel for dinner. Abao suddenly looked in the direction of the corner.

"What's wrong?" Liu Sen followed his gaze curiously.

Abao whispered: "That man looks like Wen Zhaolun."

"It's not like that, it's Wen Zhaolun." Liu Sen said lightly: "You live in the Peninsula Hotel and see celebrities every day when you come to the restaurant. There is nothing strange about it."

"But you'd better not disturb them too much, otherwise they will complain to the Peninsula Hotel and you may have to change your stay."

"Oh." Abao bowed his head obediently and stopped looking.

Liu Sen was secretly amused when he saw this, but he did not tease his younger brother. Instead, he turned to Qin Hao and said: "By the way, if you are in a hurry to use your $150,000, I will take you to open an account at HSBC later and transfer it to

you."

The reason why Liu Sen was so polite to Qin Hao was partly because of the money. A person who can start from scratch and earn one million yuan in one year is definitely not a simple person.

"Thank you very much, Brother Sen." Qin Hao did not refuse. He really needed the money urgently.

Soon, the three of them finished their meal, and Qin Hao and the others went to HSBC.

After opening the account, Liu Sen quickly transferred the money.

The bank's account manager took the bank card and handed it to Qin Hao: "Mr. Qin, if you need anything else, just ask."

"Okay, I'll call you if necessary."

Seeing Qin Hao answering in standard Cantonese, Liu Sen was obviously stunned for a moment, and Abao looked at Qin Hao in surprise.

"What's so strange? Watch more Hong Kong movies and read them accordingly. How difficult can it be?"

In response to Qin Hao's explanation, Abao could only respond with silence. He also watched Hong Kong movies, but he didn't learn a word of it. When he came to Hong Kong, it was like coming to a foreign country, his eyes darkened.

"By the way, I want to open a stock account. Do you have any good recommendations?" Qin Hao suddenly called the account manager.

The account manager burst into laughter upon hearing this: "Our bank can open a stock account. Are you interested in stocks? Or futures?"

"stock."

"Okay, please come with me."

Liu Sen looked at Qin Hao's leaving figure and asked in a low voice: "Do you, a brother in red pants, know a lot?"

"Ahao has been smarter than us since he was a child. Unfortunately, his family's conditions are not good, otherwise he would not study in a technical secondary school with us. When the college entrance examination is resumed in 1979, he will be among the first batch of college students."

When Qin Hao came back, Liu Sen said to Qin Hao calmly: "Ahao is very optimistic about Hong Kong stocks?"

"Well, at least the momentum of the Hong Kong stock market will be strong this year."

Of course, Qin Hao can be sure that in the world of big times, he made his fortune from Hong Kong stocks. He believes that no one in the world understands the trend of Hong Kong stocks better than him.
