Chapter 322: Changes in Hong Kong
What can we say about Yan Bugui?

He doesn't have any bad intentions and seldom thinks of harming others. At most, he uses various rhetoric to cheat others for small profits or things.

This kind of calculation, if he can grasp the right degree, is actually not a particularly unpleasant thing.

The key to the matter is that Yan Bugui didn't know how to strike the right balance.

For example, in the famous scene of stealing chickens in the previous life, Yan Bugui’s words forced He Yuzhu into a dead end.

He also played an ignominious role in He Daqing's departure in this life.

This guy, it's not like he was intentionally harming others.

But the fact is that he was the one who harmed people.

Therefore, even if this kind of thing made He Yuzhu take special action against him, He Yuzhu couldn't bring himself to do it.

After all, if he gets into trouble, the Yan family will be finished.

Remembering that he picked up scraps to pay off his debts in his previous life, He Yuzhu mainly teased this guy in this life.

If he really wanted to take action, He Yuzhu would have too many opportunities.

But He Yuzhu definitely couldn't do that kind of thing.

Now seeing Yan Bugui being forced into this state by Xu Damao's words, He Yuzhu was happy to see it happen.

Let’s find some fun for everyone during these bitter times!
During the New Year in Siheyuan this year, the Jia family wanted to reconcile with the Yi family, that is, to celebrate together, and this time, the Jia family also spent a lot of money to buy some good things.

But it was rejected by the Yi family.

This matter is a matter of time.

He Yuzhu did prepare a table of delicious food, but looking at Yu Shui's unhappy expression, He Yuzhu could not be happy anymore.

He Yuzhu knew that his sister was concerned about her father.

In previous Chinese New Years, rain was deliberately avoided by He Daqing.

But this year there is no need. Yu Shui rested her chin on her cheek, her eyes were confused. She seemed to be looking outside the door, but her thoughts had flown to who knows where.

The little girl sighed and said, "Brother, you said that Dad's place is warmer than ours, so do they have frozen tofu to eat?"

He Yuzhu watched as a piece of frozen tofu was pierced by raindrops countless times, but he didn't know how to comfort it.

So he could only vaguely say, "Dad wrote to me through someone else and said that they are now in Hong Kong Island.

It is said that there is a refrigerator over there, which can freeze water into ice, so there should be frozen tofu to eat."

He Daqing also sent a letter through Tan Yali to report his safety.

As expected, when everyone arrived in Hong Kong Island, especially those who had some wealth, they thought it was quite nice there.

So most of them stayed in Hong Kong Island to start their own businesses.

Including He Daqing, who is now staying in Hong Kong Island and working as a chef in someone else's restaurant for the time being.

As for Tan Yali's ideal place to stay, He Daqing and his team simply sent people there to observe and test the waters first.

He Yuzhu remembers that place and will become independent in the next two years.

So when the agreement was first made, it was not recommended that they go there right away.

The best case scenario is to build up a reputation in Hong Kong Island, and then take Hong Kong Island as your roots and choose to open branches there.

Although Tan Yali insisted on going there, she only had one accountant there, who was a close relative she had found with great difficulty from her mother's family. The person was honest, but she still had to rely on He Daqing and others for the management of the business.

The so-called general is outside, and your orders are not accepted.

He Daqing insisted on developing in Hong Kong Island first, so even Tan Yali had no choice. There must be some game in this discussion.

The current situation is that the money is with the person sent by Tan Yali, but the person who does the work, He Daqing, has convinced the person who is in charge of the money, and they all think it is most appropriate to develop together in Hong Kong Island.

Even the person sent by Tan Yali communicated with Tan Yali many times through the Tan family's channels during this period.

He is also trying his best to persuade Tan Yali.

According to that person, even in Hong Kong Island, their local fellow villagers have great influence. On the contrary, the so-called Lou family in the old city is just a small and insignificant family in Hong Kong Island.

Since Tan Yali arranged that person to manage the money, she naturally had her reasons for trusting him. There was no other reason, and that person's surname was also Tan.

From a business perspective, this is incredible.

A close relative who had not seen each other for many years was trusted by Tan Yali so much that he took all the wealth that Tan Yali could take out and went to Hong Kong Island to run the business for Tan Yali.

But according to the clan and the clan’s concept, it is a very normal thing.

This concept is particularly important in the South.

When Tan Yali's parents were on their last legs, the thing they regretted the most was that they didn't have any close relatives around them who could share Tan Yali's burden, and instead they trusted a few slaves.

When it comes to this thing, everyone has their own understanding. In the end, everyone has their own ideas and it’s hard to explain.

But this time, Tan Yali's cousin was telling the truth. The current Hong Kong Island is really a time for people from their past to stick together for warmth.

Unlike later generations, the people who lived in the surrounding southern towns were not the absolute mainstream in Hong Kong at that time.

For example, before and after the liberation, many wealthy businessmen and scholars from the mainland fled to Hong Kong Island.

This includes Cantonese films, which only gradually gained a foothold after the release of "Seventy-two Tenants" in the 1970s.

Nowadays, movies spoken in Cantonese there are considered bad movies, and only some opera movies use the local dialect.

From this we can see that at this time, the urban and rural parties in small towns in the south were mostly composed of people from the lower classes.

There are quite a lot of people at the bottom. Regardless of anything else, there will always be a few who dare to fight and strive hard.

So at this time, the Lou family of Hong Kong Island, which wanted to make a living through business, was not really considered a big family there.

Tan Yali was in Beijing and couldn't go to the scene to direct the operation.

Those who manage money and have skills all say that Hong Kong Island is a better place to settle down.

Tan Yali had no choice but to take emergency measures and let He Daqing and others open a small restaurant to try it out first.

He Daqing originally wanted to give up, but when he arrived in Hong Kong Island, he found that it was a paradise for people with ability.

The situation of the lower class in Hong Kong Island today is not much better than that in the mainland. The whole family works hard, lives in shanty towns, and can only barely make ends meet.

But people with skills can cross classes there. For example, the restaurant that He Daqing helped sincerely wanted to keep He Daqing and offered him a salary of 150 or 160 yuan, plus year-end dividends.

In Hong Kong Island, this is already an income above that of a white-collar worker.

Of course, He Daqing did not write it in the letter, but in reality he found another place that was better than Sijiu City.

Over there, as long as you have a skill and an income, you can marry as many wives as you want.

This thing is simply a paradise for people like him.

Even if He Yuzhu wanted to intervene in this matter, he couldn't.

Yu Shui thought that her father was having a hard time in Hong Kong Island, but she didn't know that He Daqing was living a very comfortable life in Hong Kong Island at that time.
