Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The heat of August 1945 was incomparable to the enthusiastic atmosphere of people celebrating the surrender of the Japanese army.  The high-quality update reflects more than eight years of bloody fighting and hardship. The heroic Chinese people have demonstrated their indomitable fighting spirit and the powerful power bursting out from the awakening of national consciousness.  Subsequently, the announcement of the "Double Ten Agreement" was like a ray of sunshine shining through the dense dark clouds, making the people's hope for peace turn to ardent. It seemed that the beautiful dove of peace had spread its wings and soared over the land of China.

    But at this time, Meng Youtian has stayed away from political right and wrong, environmental uncertainty, and the intricate intertwining of peace and war. He is beginning to pursue his personal career and strive for personal happiness.

    In mid-November, the weather in Hong Kong is the most comfortable time of the year, with temperatures in the twenties, bright sunshine, blue sky, blue sea, and white clouds.  Walking on the street, there is neither the hot summer air nor the trouble of carrying an umbrella, which makes people feel relaxed.

    Meng Youtian, Xiao San, and Zhao Dongchen walked and chatted about today's events, laughing happily from time to time.

    "You're back!" Before she even reached the door, Suzhen had already come out and greeted her with a smile, "You made money again today? You're so happy that you can't close your mouth."

    Zhao Dongchen is a local man who was hired by Meng Youtian after he arrived in Hong Kong. He is just twenty years old and a very smart young man.  High-quality updates are coming. But after all, he was young and couldn't bear the joy in his heart. He smiled and announced the good news in a somewhat awkward Mandarin: "Sister-in-law, Brother Meng has seen it right today. He has done a big job. If it is repaired, don't say anything."  If you can earn this amount¡ª¡ª" As he said that, he held out two fingers.

    "Two thousand?" Suzhen opened her eyes wide.

    ¡°Well, Meng Youtian coughed.  She glared at him reproachfully, changed the subject, and said, "Eat, eat, my stomach is deflated from all this work."

    "Axiu came down just now to look around, waiting for you to eat." Suzhen pointed with a smile and said, "Then my sister-in-law won't keep you here, and she won't make any good food."

    "Arita is not an outsider, how can he be so polite all the time?" Xiao San chuckled and said, "Xiao Zhao is just here to deal with me. I have to find the master who repairs the machine in the afternoon!"

    "Okay. Let's take a break after dinner and then we'll go." Meng Youtian nodded with a smile, turned around and walked up the stairs.

    ??Tanglou is a building built in Southern China and Hong Kong from the early 20th century to the 1960s.  The name "Tanglou" is opposite to that of a Western-style building. Generally, a Tanglou is three to eight stories high.  Some tenement buildings have arcades.  Some have terraces.  The floor is higher than modern residential buildings.  Tenement buildings are often a mix of commercial and residential buildings, with shops on the ground floor and residential buildings on the other floors.  High-quality updates are here

    Only when you live in peace can you work happily.  Meng Youtian bought a house when he first arrived in Hong Kong. Although it was not in a prosperous area and the house was a bit old, it was enough to accommodate the whole family.  Now is the early stage of starting a business, and it is not the time to enjoy it yet, but Meng Youtian must try his best to settle his family well if conditions permit.

    Now, Wan Chai is still a quiet residential area and has not become a prosperous commercial and residential center.  The tenement building Meng Youtian bought has four floors. It is located on the reclaimed Mashi Road. A small grocery store has been opened on the first floor, which is now lent to Xiao San and his family. Liu Wushuang and Liu Wushuang live on the second floor.  Xiao Guanghe and three members of Xiao Si's family; Meng Youtian's family lived on the third and fourth floors.  But the neighbor next door lived with Dana Sun's family. They opened a medical clinic on the first floor, and they were settled down.

    I came back a little late, and the family had already eaten. Axiu and Zijuan were busy making hot rice for Meng Youtian, and brought it to them soon.  When Liu Feng heard that Meng Youtian was back, she sat down at the dinner table and talked with her.

    Eating hot soup and rice, accompanied by his three wives, Meng Youtian was in a good mood and smiled happily. While eating, he talked about today's harvest, making his family happy too.

    "When the bidding reached 20,000, the person named Huo backed down. Haha, the machine belongs to us." Meng Youtian laughed twice and showed off to his wives with the pride of victory, "With a little repair, it will be changed hands.  It can be sold for at least 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, which is the most money I have made recently!"

    "See how happy you are." Liu Feng curled her lips and said, "Remember, I was arguing with Huo last time. Why do you always have trouble with others?"

    this?  Meng Youtian scratched his head and smiled sarcastically without saying a word.  The person named Huo has a vision but limited financial resources. There is nothing wrong with learning from the future richest man in China, right?  But these are secrets that cannot be told to outsiders, and I should be the richest man in China in the future!

    At the end of World War II, after the surrender of the Japanese invaders in Hong Kong, a lot of machinery and equipment was left behind. The price was very cheap. Many of them could be used with a little repair, and they could also be sold at a good price.  Success can sometimes be copied. Meng Youtian and the future richest Chinese man who was also starting a business at the time were eyeing this kind of business at the same time. In other words, Meng Youtian plagiarized the method.

     This is indeed a quick way to accumulate. As long as you pay special attention to the news about the auction of Japanese army surplus supplies in the newspaper, rush to the scene in time, and be able to select those valuable things to buy with an expert's eye, and then quickly repair them and sell them.  Go out and make huge profits.  Due to the lack of funds, it was difficult for the Huo family to go big. Relatively speaking, Meng Youtian had the financial support of his wife and was more ruthless, so he often took the lead.

    So far, Meng Youtian has made three such purchases and sales. Adding in the expected profit this time, he can earn almost 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.  This was a considerable amount of income at the time.  Although income is important, the feeling of being the future richest man in China is also quite satisfying for Meng Youtian.

    "Arita, when will the factory you want to open start operations?" Zijuan is concerned about another thing. She doesn't want to just stay at home. "If I'm short of money, I'll sell all the gold and silver in my hand."  Bar!"

    "Yes, yes, I have some here too, take them all." Liu Feng was not to be outdone. Although the women seemed to be harmonious on the surface, in their hearts they still hoped that they could help the man more.

    Meng Youtian shook his head. Coming to Hong Kong, buying a house, and doing business have already spent most of the savings of his two wives. He already felt guilty in his heart. How could he take away all his wife's private money again.

    "After this transaction is completed, the money earned is almost enough." Meng Youtian put down his job and slowly explained: "But the third brother and the fourth brother always feel that it is inconvenient to squeeze in with us, and it is not fair to live on our money.  , even without saying it, I can tell. So I want to give them some accommodation, and today I bought two small boats of the Japanese navy, and I am going to do the lightering business for the third brother and the fourth brother. "

    Not only Liu Wushuang is nostalgic, but Meng Youtian is too, not to mention that in this new place, multiple friends always provide more security and help.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
