I'm back in 1990

Chapter 144: Going to Hong Kong

Upon hearing about a 20-fold return, Huang Boyi was agitated. Even if Huang Xiaochuan took half, the remaining amount would still be five million! That's over seven million three hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars!

This amount of money could buy a 1200-square-meter luxury apartment in a good location in Hong Kong. Currently, a 1,200-square-meter high-rise luxury apartment in Hong Kong costs around eight million Hong Kong dollars. Is it possible to earn back a 1,200-square-meter luxury apartment in twelve months?

Moreover, if the other party is willing to return the principal even after you've lost money, you won't lose out either way.

However, Huang Boyi quickly calmed down and began to consider the gains and losses.

However, he quickly made a decision. Only a fool would disagree! Since the other party was so confident, it meant that the young man's background was deeper than he thought. Moreover, he had only put up less than HKD 800,000. If he didn't play this game of risking big with a small investment, what else would he play?

Thinking of this, Huang Boyi asked, "Is this all?"

Unexpectedly, Huang Xiaochuan threw out another condition: "In addition, I need Boss Huang to help me exchange the equivalent of two million RMB in Hong Kong dollars, at the exchange rate of the day! This is not included in the money in the newly registered company account; it's extra."

This condition was no problem for Huang Boyi at all. Two million RB was equivalent to three million HKD, which he could easily come up with. Moreover, his factory in Shekou was a sole proprietorship, and all the clothing produced was for export, with settlements made in US dollars. All of this money would be transferred into his company account in Hong Kong, so even if Huang Xiaochuan wanted US dollars, he could give it to him.

Huang Boyi slapped his thigh: "No problem at all. As long as we sign the relevant agreement, everything will be easy. Mr. Huang can give me RMB directly in mainland China, and I'll give you HKD in Hong Kong!"

Huang Xiaochuan also asked an unnecessary question: "So how are you going to digest all this Japanese stuff?"

Huang Boyi laughed heartily, stood up, pointed to his factory, and said, "Of course it's for paying wages! I have more than two thousand workers in my factory, and I have to pay nearly one million yuan in wages every month, not even counting the factory's normal expenses."

Huang Xiaochuan wanted to slap himself across the face right then and there. He must have lost his mind; asking that question was completely unnecessary.

With the major framework agreed upon, the next step is to work out the details.

The details were rather complicated, and it also involved legal issues in both places. So the two of them discussed it and decided that after the details were finalized, they would go to Hong Kong and each hire a professional lawyer to review and draft the relevant agreements and contracts.

That night, Huang Xiaochuan stayed at the famous five-star hotel "Nanhai Hotel" in Shekou. It is more than 20 kilometers away from the city center of Shenzhen and is the only five-star hotel in Shenzhen. If it weren't for the fact that it is too far from Shenzhen University, Huang Xiaochuan would definitely have chosen to stay here at first. However, taking advantage of the opportunity to discuss cooperation with Huang Boyi, Huang Xiaochuan stayed at this hotel for one night.

The next morning, Huang Boyi arranged for a driver to take Huang Xiaochuan back to Shenzhen. They agreed that Huang Boyi would arrange for his company in Hong Kong to send out an invitation letter, and then he would send someone to help Huang Xiaochuan apply for a travel permit to enter Hong Kong. The taxi driver from that day did not tell Huang Xiaochuan about this, so Huang Xiaochuan was unaware that there was an even more convenient way to enter the country.

This is because in 1984, during negotiations between the two sides, in order to facilitate investment between the two places, the mainland and Hong Kong opened a temporary measure for business travel permits. Generally speaking, ordinary people rarely use this; they mainly rely on family visit visas and tourist visas. Business travel permits are only for businessmen traveling between the two places.

After seeing Huang Xiaochuan off, Huang Boyi hummed a little tune as he returned to his office.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, his mistress seized the opportunity to cling to him, plopping down on his lap: "Honey, when are you going to take me across the border? I want to buy a bag!"

In a good mood, Huang Boyi patted his mistress's thigh: "Just in the next couple of days."

Then the mistress asked, "Honey, what does that young man do? Why were you so polite to him?"

The moment this alluring woman saw Huang Xiaochuan, she almost couldn't keep her legs together. Who says women aren't lustful? Their lustfulness surpasses even that of men.

Huang Boyi lewdly reached his hand inside the short skirt and began to knead it, asking, "What's wrong? You've got your eye on him? Let me tell you, don't even dream about it. He wouldn't even look at someone like you."

Huang Boyi had already figured it out. Yesterday, Huang Xiaochuan entered his office, glanced at his secretary, and then lost all interest. Such a young man would never act like this unless he had strong willpower. Therefore, Huang Boyi became even more convinced that he had not misjudged the person.

During this period, there was a saying among Hong Kong businessmen: making money in mainland China was incredibly easy, but if you could get to know influential second or third-generation businessmen, making money in mainland China would be almost like picking up money off the ground.

For this reason, Huang Boyi thought of cooperating with Huang Xiaochuan to give it a try. The 500,000 yuan was just a stepping stone. This was a win-win situation: first, to satisfy his desire to invest in the mainland stock market, and second, to test how much strength Huang Xiaochuan had.

Unexpectedly, he actually found out that this young man had a net worth of several million. You have to know that at that time in mainland China, people with a net worth of several million were extremely rare! This also indirectly shows that Huang Xiaochuan's background is unfathomable.

In the eyes of mainlanders, Huang Boyi is definitely a super-rich person, but Huang Boyi knows that he is nothing in Hong Kong. Although he has some assets now, he also has a lot of bank loans on him.

Compared to those truly wealthy people, he wasn't even qualified to carry their shoes. So Huang Boyi worked hard, hoping that one day he could become a famous wealthy person in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, he was never destined for that.

However, starting today, Huang Boyi has such expectations again, and he places all his hopes on this young man named Huang Xiaochuan.

Besides, Huang Boyi isn't into shady dealings; he disdains short-sighted practices. He wants to do business honestly and uprightly, so finding such a high-quality business partner is definitely a blessing from his past life.

Thinking of this, Huang Boyi pushed away his mistress who was clinging to him, got up, washed his hands, and respectfully offered three sticks of incense to the God of Wealth.

Huang Boyi took his mistress back to Hong Kong that same day. The main purpose was to obtain a certificate for Huang Xiaochuan, proving that Huang Xiaochuan was an employee of their company and needed to travel frequently between the mainland and Hong Kong for work. This certificate would allow Huang Xiaochuan to apply for a travel permit at the Shenzhen Entry-Exit Administration Bureau.

When Huang Boyi went to Hong Kong, he even took the time to visit "Wong Tai Sin Temple" and spent a lot of money to draw a fortune stick. When he received it, he saw that it read "Great Fortune" and that everything would go well and his business would prosper, which made Huang Boyi ecstatic.

Tuesday, October 9.

After entering the country, Huang Boyi went to the Donghu Hotel to find Huang Xiaochuan and then took him to the Shenzhen Entry-Exit Administration Bureau to apply for a travel permit between the two places. Now Huang Xiaochuan can freely enter and leave Hong Kong within a year, solving a problem that has troubled Huang Xiaochuan for a long time.

That afternoon, Huang Boyi took Huang Xiaochuan into Hong Kong. He and Huang Xiaochuan went directly to Central, which is Hong Kong's financial district and business center, full of large shopping malls and international fashion brand stores.

Huang Boyi also observed Huang Xiaochuan's state and found that he did not show the same curiosity about everything as other mainlanders when they first came to Hong Kong. Instead, he seemed very calm and composed.

In Huang Xiaochuan's mind, Hong Kong at this time, whether now or in the future, cannot compare with Shanghai in the future. Although Shanghai is still a Cinderella at present, its development in ten or twenty years will amaze the world.

Moreover, Hong Kong seems much more prosperous than Shanghai now, but in Huang Xiaochuan's eyes, Hong Kong, without smartphones and mobile internet technology, is no better than Shanghai. Ah, people! It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality! Even after being reborn for so long, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it!
