Hong Kong's winter was not too cold. Li He came out early in the morning to do his morning exercises. He climbed up a hill that was not very high. After he finished climbing this hill, another hill arched up like a wave.
Hong Kong was a mountain city, and the terrain was extremely undulating.
Mark the contour lines on the map, and there was almost no flat land. No wonder every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
Take Hong Kong as an example. Central was one of the city centers, and millions of people lived in a narrow strip less than a kilometer wide. Most of the land was reclaimed from the sea.
The rest were mountains.
The middle and top of the mountains were the wealthy areas.
The New Territories near Shenzhen were much flatter and had a vast area, but it had not been developed.
Maybe because he had not exercised for a long time, his legs were weak, and his breathing was not smooth.
Dong Xuebing stood still in a daze. Everywhere was still lush, and birds were chirping. A long-tailed red-beaked blue magpie was hiding somewhere, and it kept chirping.
Standing on the top of the mountain, it was brighter and more spacious. At the foot of the mountain were scattered mansions, and the roofs were all different colors. He had already bought all the hilltops in this area. Starting from the periphery of his house, the land belonged to him. Hiding in the surrounding area, he could finally plant flowers and raise dogs to his heart's content.
If it wasn't for the fact that the other tycoon next to him was unwilling to sell his land, he could expand his land a little more. Shen Daoru even vowed to make this tycoon bankrupt. He must not be soft-hearted when dealing with a stubborn tycoon!
Li He suddenly felt that the situation had become serious. Initially, he thought that Shen Daoru was just joking. Now, he realized that Shen Daoru was completely focused on making this tycoon bankrupt. He was so stubborn that he was addicted to it.
"Enough. Stop fooling around. Nothing can be accomplished without rules. If you continue to use your power to oppress others, you will be a troublemaker in the future. Do you hear me? "
"I originally thought that money could make even the devil turn millstones, but who would have thought that ghosts nowadays are so hard to deal with. There are a few families that are really poor ghosts. They opened their bloody mouths wide and wanted to bite off a piece of our flesh. No matter how hard or soft they were, they wouldn't budge. I tried to persuade them in every possible way, but they wouldn't budge at all." Shen Daoru finally had the confidence to describe a millionaire with a net worth of tens of millions as a poor ghost.
"Profits cannot be maximized at any time. I don't really need that piece of land. I'm pretty much done here. It was fine if the other party was unwilling to sell. There was no need to go through so much trouble. “
Shen Daoru said, "The price given is already high enough. We can't possibly give a few run-down houses the price of the White House in America, right? They're just so difficult to deal with. "
"Alright, don't waste time on this. Continue to buy brothels on the market. Buy as many as you can find. " Recently, Li He had made 3 billion USD in Japan. Other than keeping 200 million to buy land and buildings, he invested the rest into the Japanese Benzene market. This amount of money was not enough, and it was far from his goal.
Shen Daoru said, "Mr. Li, the property prices have already dropped by 30%. Are we still going to continue buying?"
Since the middle of 1989, Hong Kong's housing prices had been falling, and he was worried.
"Buy, continue to buy." Li He's attitude was unquestionable.
Shen Daoru didn't object. In fact, Li He had used too many experiments to prove that Li He's decisions were usually correct.
A few days later, Li Chao Ren bought a lot of land and swallowed up the brothels, which made Shen Daoru even more convinced.
Before Five's holiday, Four came back, and Li Qiuhong accompanied him. However, Li Qiuhong couldn't wait to leave the next day. She missed her home all the time, and staying there for another minute was torture.
When Five was on holiday, Li He brought them to go shopping happily. They entered a supermarket run by a Japanese. It was the largest supermarket in the area, and it had basically everything.
When Li He bought things, he threw everything he saw into the cart. In the end, he realized that the more he threw, the fewer things there were.
Seeing that He Fang was putting the slippers that he had thrown into the cart back on the shelf, he smiled and said, "Comrade He, is there any point in doing this?"
He Fang arranged the slippers neatly on the shelf and said unhappily, "There's a pile of slippers at home. Why do you need so many?"
"I like this color. Maybe I'll wear it when I'm happy. It's not worth much anyway. It's just a few yuan."
"I'm not as poor and generous as you are. I haven't been calculating with you recently. You smoke for a year, and you're burning through my lifetime's salary! Just thinking about it makes me nervous. "
"That's no fun. We're not short of money."
"Even if you have money, you can't spend it like that." He Fang still didn't agree with Li He's way of spending money.
Four overheard their conversation from the shelf opposite. After thinking about it, he put the sour juice in his hand back to its original position.
Five, however, didn't care. He took whatever he saw. He took more than 20 boxes of cassette tapes, and when he saw the latest Walkman, he couldn't bear to part with it. He put it in the cart early. Four imitated He Fang. Once Five picked something, she would follow behind and send it back.
Five was unhappy and said, "What are you doing?"
Four crossed his arms and asked, "Do you have money to give it to me? Why did you buy so much? "
"Big brother has money," Five said matter-of-factly.
Four said angrily, "Why should Big Brother's money be yours? Why don't you ask Third Brother for it?"
Five was suddenly stunned. She rubbed her head and thought for a long time. It seemed to be true. She had never thought about this problem before. She had always felt that spending his brother's money was only right and proper.
To a large extent, this was because she had already become accustomed to all aspects of her life, and she almost didn't think too much about these aspects.
She wasn't young anymore. Even though she had a little temper, she would eventually understand that his brother's money ultimately belonged to her sister-in-law and her eldest nephew.
She was already his sister-in-law.
After thinking it through, she couldn't help but feel a little dispirited. She didn't even want the cart anymore.
Four called out to her from behind, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to buy some water! I have the money to buy water! "
Four had no choice but to put the things in the cart back to their original positions.
After coming out of the supermarket, Li He asked the two of them, "Are you really going to save money for me and not buy anything?"
Four didn't really like spending money, but it didn't seem right that Five wasn't buying anything.
Four said, "There's nothing to buy. Everything is here. "
She was telling the truth. Her brother had already given her a million US dollars. She could buy anything she wanted, but she hadn't touched the money yet. The allowance that her brother gave her every now and then was enough for her.
Moreover, she really didn't lack anything.
Only Five didn't say a word.
Li He looked at the expressions of the two girls and seemed to understand something. However, he didn't say it out loud. He felt that he had done enough. He provided them with the best education, which meant that they basically had no chance of being poor in this life.
He had experienced poverty before and knew what it meant to be poor. For most people, their limited daily income meant that they had limited access to information. Newspapers, televisions, and books had to be bought with money.
The poor couldn't bear to part with these small expenses and often didn't know about the specific information that others received.
Those with higher incomes would take advantage of the lack of information to earn more money. Thus, the poor got poorer and the rich got richer.
In the world of the poor, many institutions weren't built for them. Sports car companies, five-star hotels, top-notch clubs.
Li He had always scoffed at those who said that poverty was a way to hone one's willpower. To the poor, it was the exact opposite. The small expenses, obstacles, and mistakes that most people ignored became especially prominent problems in the lives of the poor.
They couldn't bear to spend money on books, education for their children, or medical insurance for themselves.
They were only willing to waste useless time in narrow channels.
