Siheyuan: Big City, Small Love

Chapter 384 Commission

In this way, He Lai was taken to another room by the young man.

"Hello, sir. My name is Lu Yuxuan. This is my business card. What's your name, sir?"

Lu Zixuan poured He Lai a cup of black tea, then handed him his business card and asked.

"As for me, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" He Lai took the business card, took a look at it and put it away. Then he picked up the black tea, took a sip and said.

"Oh? How do you tell the truth? How do you tell a lie?" Although Lu Zixuan was a little surprised, he did not show any exaggerated expression.

"If you tell the truth, you should show your true self to others. If you tell a lie, you should show your false self to others."

He Lai pointed to his face.

"So that's how it is. Don't worry, sir. We at HSBC keep customer information absolutely confidential. I will never disclose your information to anyone."

Lu Zixuan understood what He Lai meant and knew that He Lai's face might be fake.

"Can you speak Mandarin?"

"know a little."

"Then let's speak Mandarin. Hey, speaking Cantonese makes my mouth hurt!"

He Lai twisted his neck and spoke in Mandarin.

"Okay, sir." Lu Zixuan replied.

"Well, you can find someone to count the money in the box first! Then we can have a good chat."

He Lai patted the box and said.

"Okay, I'll go get someone over first."

Lu Zixuan went out immediately and soon brought three people in.

"Sir, what do you see?" Lu Zixuan asked, pointing at the box.

"Take it." He Lai pushed the box directly to him.

At Lu Zixuan's nod, the three of them quickly began the inventory task.

A quarter of an hour later, the three of them finished calculating the money, which was 12.15 million Hong Kong dollars, no mistake.

Lu Zixuan asked the three people to leave first, then turned around and sat down face to face with He Lai.

"Okay, it's time to get down to business." He Lai tore off the mask on his head, revealing his original face.

When Lu Zixuan saw He Lai’s young and handsome face, he was also stunned. He didn’t expect He Lai to be so young.

"My name is He Lai, and I'm from the mainland." He Lai smiled and stretched out his hand.

"Hello...hello." Lu Zixuan held He Lai's hand and said.

"As for me, I don't really ask for much. I don't plan on saving this money. I want to use it to buy a house. I wonder if you can help me with that?"

He Lai spoke straight to the point.

"Buy a house? Mr. He, with over 10 million, you can buy a lot of houses. Which part of Hong Kong City do you plan to buy? What will you use it for?"

Lu Zixuan asked, after all, this is more than 10 million, even if he used it to buy villas, he could buy hundreds of them. After all, even the richest villa in the Upper and Southern District of Hong Kong Island only costs three or four hundred thousand.

"Which area? It doesn't matter. You can buy any place that you think has a good value for money. Especially villas in the South District. If there are any for sale at a low price, please help me buy a few more. I really want to own one or two villas.

As for what the house is used for, it is definitely for people to live in. You can help me rent it out. Of course, if there are suitable factories or restaurants, you can also buy a few. You can also buy some land."

He Lai said.

"Okay, I understand, Mr. He. I'll keep an eye on factories and restaurants. As for buying land, do you have any requirements? For example, which district do you plan to buy the land in?"

"Ah, you can buy any property near Hong Kong Island, such as Kowloon, Sham Shui Po, Wong Tai Sin. Buy wherever is cheaper. Of course, you don't have to rush to buy. You can look around more."

He Lai didn’t know much about the development of Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s. He only knew that land and houses were valuable, and those close to Hong Kong Island were even more valuable.

"Okay, I understand. I'll take my time. But Mr. He, you can't use all this money to buy land and houses in a short period of time. It's just sitting there anyway. Don't you want to invest in something? For example, the stock market is doing very well right now. Do you want me to invest some money for you?"

Lu Zixuan suggested.

"The stock market, I don't know much about it, so I'll give you two million and you can do whatever you want with it, and we'll split the profits. If you do well, we can talk later."

He Lai had never paid attention to Hong Kong's stock market in the 1960s in his previous life. He only knew that Hong Kong would experience many stock market crashes in the future. He didn't know how deep the water was, but overall, Hong Kong's stock market was still very good, with a clear upward trend.

"Okay, Mr. He, as for the profits, I won't take any. Our HSBC Trust Service will naturally have a commission."

Lu Zixuan rejected He Lai's proposal to split the profits equally.

"No, that won't work. If I don't pay you, how can you help me wholeheartedly? If you don't want it, forget it. I'm not interested in the stock market anyway."

"Uh, Mr. He, you're making it difficult for me. This is against the rules of our bank."

Although Lu Zixuan also wanted the money, after all, his monthly salary was only around 10,000 yuan, but he couldn't take it. If his superiors found out, he might lose his job.

"Hey, how about this? You can deposit the money you earn with me first. I may not come to Hong Kong City often in the future, at most once a year. When the time comes, you can give me the money you earn, and I will share it with you. In this way, we don't have to go to the bank, isn't that all right?"

He Lai smiled.

"That's fine, but I can only take 20% of the profit at most."

Lu Zixuan had no choice but to agree with He Lai's opinion. After all, it was two million, and this money would allow him to gain a foothold in HSBC.

"Okay, that's it. Let's sign the contract quickly, finish it early and leave early. I'm hungry. I've been in Hong Kong for half a day and haven't eaten yet."

He Lai stood up and stretched.

"Okay, I'll prepare the contract now."

Lu Zixuan immediately got up and went out to prepare the contract.

It took a long time for He Lai to sign five contracts, all of which were agency contracts.

"Okay, Zixuan, it's a pleasure to work with you. From now on, I'll give you my money. Don't let me down!"

He Lai put away the contract, stretched out his hand and smiled.

"Hesheng, it's a pleasure to work with you. I will do my best." Lu Zixuan also smiled and stretched out his hand.

Seeing that it was almost time, He Lai put on his mask again and returned to the fake face he had when he first arrived.

"Okay, that's it. Before you leave, recommend me a good place to eat! I want a down-to-earth place, not some Western restaurant."

"Well, let me think about it, if I want to be more down-to-earth... Shengji on Stanley Street tastes good, but the environment is a bit bad."

Lu Zixuan thought about it and responded.

"Okay, I'll remember it. Shengji, right? I'll eat it. Bye."

"Goodbye! Happy birthday!"

……

When He Lai came out, Lou Bancheng and Zhuang Shijiu had already finished and were chatting.

"Uncle Lou, Uncle Jiu, let's go! I'm starving! I need to eat a whole cow to replenish my energy!"

He Lai joked.

"Okay, let's go, Brother Jiu, take this brat out for a meal."

Lou Bancheng stood up and said.

"Okay, let's go. I'm a little hungry after being busy for so long." Zhuang Shijiu also said.

"Uncle Jiu, that person just now said that Shengji's food is good, why don't you take us there to eat?"

"Row!"

"Uncle Jiu, I forgot to leave money just now, you have to treat me!"

"Row!"

"Uncle Jiu, what does Shengji do?"

"You'll know when you get there."

"Uncle Jiu, hey, don't walk so fast!"

……

When He Lai and his companions arrived at the so-called Shengji, He Lai felt a little regretful.

This is simply a dirty and messy food stall, with garbage flying everywhere, smelly ditches on the ground, and tables and chairs placed in a mess. It is down-to-earth, but a bit disgusting!

He Lai regretted it very much. Why was he pretending to be so cool? Now things were difficult. No matter how delicious the food was, he couldn't get interested in it in this environment.

"What's wrong? Don't you want to eat here?" Zhuang Shijiu said with a smile. Seeing He Lai's drooping face, he just found it funny.

"Uncle Jiu, I don't think it's appropriate for you to eat here. Let's go somewhere else!"

"Oh? Where do you want to go?"

"Of course we have to go to a place worthy of the status of rich men like Uncle Jiu and Uncle Lou."

"Oh? I think it's nice to eat here."

"Uncle Jiu, stop making trouble! What if you eat here and get your clothes dirty? You will have to pay to wash them."

"It's okay, I don't mind."

"I mind!"

……

"Okay, okay, Brother Jiu, please take us to a better place."

Lou Bancheng held his forehead and spoke. He didn't expect that Zhuang Shijiu was still the same as before, liking to argue with others.

"Haha...this is really interesting. Okay, I'll take you to Yung Kee Restaurant. The roast goose there tastes pretty good!"

Zhuang Shijiu said.

"Uncle Jiu, is the food at Yung Kee Restaurant as good as that at Fengze Garden? I grew up eating Fengze Garden food and I'm very picky!"

"You don't have to eat it!"

Zhuang Shijiu threw out this sentence and walked into the car.

He also wanted to eat the food at Fong Ze Garden, but unfortunately he couldn't eat it. Yung Kee Restaurant was already the best restaurant in Hong Kong, but there was still a gap compared to Fong Ze Garden. After all, the cuisine here was very different from that in Hong Kong.

The most common dish for ordinary people in Hong Kong is clay pot rice, which is just a little bit more advanced than rice with gravy.

Soon He Lai and his friends had a hearty meal at Yung Kee Restaurant. They could only say that the food tasted average and could not be compared with Fengzeyuan at all.

He Lai praised Fengze Garden in various ways, and even said that the food cooked by Sha Zhu was better than the food here. Zhuang Shijiu was so angry that he paid the bill and went downstairs without eating a few bites. Of course, he did not leave, but went to the second floor to have tea.

The good thing about Hong Kong is that you can get tea no matter where you go.
