Break out of the courtyard

This year's supplies are relatively sufficient. You can buy a grass carp weighing two or three kilograms for 3 cents.

However, you still have to ask for meat tickets!

Therefore, Zhang Heping had to go into the mountains to hunt and cut ice for fishing.

In addition to the mountain goods sent from Nanla Town, the Zhang family still has no shortage of new year's goods. This is the limit that Zhang Heping can currently achieve for his family in the capital.

He would like to build a TV set for his home, but unfortunately he has no reasonable source of tickets.

Before, his father-in-law Tang Ming asked Zhang Heping secretly whether he could cure cancer. Zhang Heping left a prescription for recuperation and left without saying a word.

Grandma Yang and Dr. Zhao also told Zhang Heping that they had recommended Zhang Heping to join the health care team, but he was not selected because the traditional Chinese medicine doctor... was too young!

The key is, Zhang Heping has no apprentice, who dares to believe it?

Zhang Heping stayed in the capital for more than half a month, and only went to the south after making sure that nothing happened to him.

Then, he wandered around the deep town for two days!

Since November last year, Hong Kong Island has implemented a "backstop" policy to solve the labor shortage.

The core meaning of the policy is that as long as the stowaway can reach the urban area of ​​Hong Kong Island and find a "relative" to take him to the police station, the stowaway can apply for a Hong Kong Island identity card.

Emmm...

After this policy came out, the number of patrols on both sides of the border increased by more than three times. The key is to be armed with live ammunition and shoot if you don't stop!

Even so, the number of people fleeing Hong Kong continues unabated!

As for why Yingren introduced this policy, firstly, many factories closed down after the stock market crash, and many workers turned to family workshops, with foremans taking orders and bulk goods, resulting in factory labor shortages and rising costs.

Second, the underworld is rampant, and working in a mixed society is not as good as working in society, resulting in a shortage of labor in factories.

The key is that the underworld at this time is still relatively restrained. In fights and other things, people are paid to pay for their heads, and the party with more people wins.

It's funny, the appearance fee for inviting them to fight is 25 yuan per person; for a month's salary of working in a factory for 4 fights, it is comparable to the monthly salary of an ordinary office clerk for 12 fights.

Therefore, it is impossible to work part-time. Don’t let a bastard work part-time in this life.

Third, Hong Kong Island wants to revitalize its manufacturing industry to improve its economy and urgently needs a large number of fresh and cheap labor!

Once you understand the reason, you will understand why among the large number of escapees repatriated from Hong Kong Island, not only were few injured, but they were also sent back to the border in large trucks with food and drink.

That is obviously telling more mainlanders that you are welcome to come again...

At midnight on February 2, Zhang Heping was at the beach. After hearing intense gunfire for more than ten minutes, he made a decisive detour to Ao Island.

At this time, Macao Island is actually easier to enter than Hong Kong Island!

Just because the Portuguese army withdrew from the country last month, only the local police on Macao Island maintained law and order, which was a bit more chaotic than the year before.

On the morning of February 2, Zhang Heping climbed ashore at the western pier of Ao Island.

He was then surrounded by porters on the dock.

Although these people were from the same gang, they did not rob Zhang Heping. Instead, they surrounded Zhang Heping and asked about the mainland. Finally, they asked Zhang Heping if he wanted to stay as a porter, obviously treating him as a fugitive.

Zhang Heping borrowed the phone from their boss, called Villa No. 8 in Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong Island, and called two bodyguards to pick him up with money and clothes.

Later, Zhang Heping stayed in Aodao for one more day, bought a small apartment on the second floor facing the street at the western pier of Aodao, and put some change in it for future use.

In the evening, he took two bodyguards with him to play a few games in the city. By the way, he let the two bodyguards win some money, so as not to reward the bodyguards randomly and attract his uncle Tang Ren to make trouble.

On the morning of February 2, as soon as Zhang Heping returned to Villa No. 8, Chen Shuting followed him excitedly, reporting on the recent stock market conditions and the closing price of yesterday and Friday.

The Hong Kong stock index fell to 150 points at the end of last year and has recovered by 2 points in the past two months.

和黄收市价1块2，九龙仓2块6，汇峰3块1。

Hearing this price, Zhang Heping, who was about to go upstairs to take a shower, immediately turned back and sat on the sofa in the living room, took the newspaper from Chen Shuting, and quickly checked past news.

The newspaper contained key information circled by Chen Shuting in red pen, which saved Zhang Heping a lot of energy.

"The decline in Hong Kong stocks in December, I think, is directly related to the decline in magnesium stocks." Chen Shuting, sitting on the left of Zhang Heping, said while handing the newspaper: "The magnesium stock index fell from 12 points to 1000 points in December last year... "

Tang Xin brought breakfast over and sat beside him.

“As magnesium stocks plummeted, Stars and Stripes Alliance and Eagle Alliance successively launched trade protection policies, and export orders from Hong Kong Island dropped sharply..."

As soon as Chen Shuting finished speaking, Zhang Heping warned: "Shuting, go get a gun permit. When you go out from now on, you should always bring your pistol with you."

Hearing that Zhang Heping cared about her safety, Chen Shuting responded softly, but couldn't hide the smile on her face.

Tang Xin leaned on Zhang Heping's right shoulder and asked: "Husband, some ladies at Heping Real Estate want to sell their houses to us. Do we want to take them?"

"There is no need to buy their stocks at the bottom. If housing prices rise in the future, there will be complaints." Zhang Heping temporarily put down the newspaper and had breakfast, but he was thinking about buying stocks at the bottom.

He wanted his wife Tang Xin to use her gold as collateral for a HK$1.5 million loan, and then let Chen Shuting operate it to secretly absorb stocks in Hutchison Whampoa, Wharf, and Huifeng.

It’s just that this money is a bit too much!

Zhang Heping was worried that this girl, who started to grow her hair long and imitate Tang Xin in dressing up, would not be able to withstand the test...

"Dad!" The second daughter, Zhang Nan, ran down from upstairs and jumped on Zhang Heping.

Not long after, the other five children came down.

Unknowingly, Zhang Heping's two oldest twin girls were already 7 and a half years old, and the youngest twin boys were 3 and a half years old and could run around.

"Dad, mom said you haven't sang to her for a long time. Do you dislike mom anymore?"

"Dad, can you teach me to sing? When you are not at home, I can help you sing to your mother."

"Dad, I want to learn kung fu from you!"

……

The matter of borrowing money to speculate in stocks has been put aside for the time being. Zhang Heping does not want to test the current Chen Shuting. He must at least bring her into his house to have more trust in her.

Therefore, Zhang Heping just asked Chen Shuting to take Tang Xin, sister-in-law and others to slowly absorb the stocks of Hutchison Whampoa and Wharf.

On New Year's Eve, February 1975, 2, Zhang Heping called Chen Shuting and went with him to celebrate the New Year at his uncle Tang Ren's mountainside villa.

During the dinner, Zhang Heping briefly talked about the physical condition of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as the domestic situation.

"Brother-in-law, my pharmaceutical factory is planning to close down. Why do you want to enter the pharmaceutical industry?" Tang Ren, my uncle, had great doubts about Zhang Heping's proposal to sell anti-malarial capsules on a consignment basis.

"The labor and raw materials of your pharmaceutical factory are expensive, which is incomparable to the pharmaceutical factory I support." Zhang Heping shook a glass of red wine and said with a smile: "However, the land value of your pharmaceutical factory has a lot of room for appreciation. If you don't open it, Now that we have a pharmaceutical factory, we can sell the pharmaceutical machines to Shuting's trading company, rent out the factory, and wait for the land value to appreciate."

Tang Ren frowned and said nothing, but his eldest son Tang Lie couldn't help but asked: "Uncle, I heard that after you bought the Chinese Bank Building, you also borrowed money to buy many shops and land. The economy is so sluggish now. , why do you think real estate can still make money?”

"This involves the issue of economic cycle fluctuations." Zhang Heping glanced at the hopeful sisters-in-law and said with a smile: "To put it simply, where the wealth of Hong Kong Island gathers will encourage Hong Kong people to develop. , where capital will also invest.”

"As far as the current situation is concerned, the foreign capital that withdrew from Hong Kong stocks in 1972 entered the gold market. I followed their investment and it has quadrupled so far."

"The Eagle Capital and Chinese Capital that were withdrawn before March 1973...if you pay attention to their capital movements, you will know where to invest."

"Brother-in-law, didn't you ask Shuting to take us to speculate in the stock market?" My uncle's third aunt asked in confusion: "Should I make money by speculating in stocks or speculating in real estate?"

"The question of how much or how little you earn depends on your personal choice."
