Siheyuan: Grassroots Counterattack

Li Tianyi pointed at several shops and houses and asked the manager some questions. In fact, it was mainly about the ownership of the houses. He didn't want to buy a house with people living in it.

Li Tianyi also told his concerns to the manager, who repeatedly assured him that such a situation would never occur.

After marking the property he liked, Li Tianyi asked, "Is there any villa here?"

"Of course, but the price will be more expensive."

"It's okay, you can bring it here and let me take a look."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The manager walked out of the reception room happily with the property brochure. Not long after, he came back with two brochures.

Li Tianyi took the booklet and read it carefully. Just like what the manager said, the villas were indeed much more expensive. Among the properties Li Tianyi had just selected, the most expensive shop was only over 20 Hong Kong dollars, and the most expensive house was 35 Hong Kong dollars. But for the villas, the cheapest one cost more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the most expensive one cost more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars.

It seemed that the money he had was not enough. Li Tianyi skipped several high-priced villas and then selected three medium-priced villas. In this way, he had almost spent all his 3 million Hong Kong dollars.

The manager excitedly marked all the properties. Li Tianyi sat beside him drinking coffee and waited for the manager to finish. Then he said to Li Tianyi: "Mr. Li, the property certificates for these houses need to be issued tomorrow. I'll trouble you to come here again tomorrow."

Li Tian nodded. "By the way, I want to ask if your bank has any leasing business? I want to rent out all the properties except the villa halfway up the mountain."

"Of course, we have a large amount of real estate and car rentals. I can handle these procedures for you."

"Okay, thank you for your help." Li Tianyi took out $100 from his pocket and handed it to the manager.

Of course the manager understood what this meant, and he accepted the tip from the customer with a clear conscience.

Li Tianyi walked out of the bank amid the manager's attentive smile, then hailed a car and returned to the hotel.

After putting the boxes away, Li Tianyi went downstairs to have lunch. In the afternoon, he planned to go out for a walk and buy some things for his family.

Li Tianyi spent the whole afternoon wandering around the mall. He didn't know what to buy for his family, but he couldn't justify not buying any.

After picking out a few things that were not out of the ordinary, Li Tianyi finished choosing gifts. However, when he walked to the electrical appliance area, Li Tianyi could not walk anymore. The electrical appliances here could be described as a dazzling array, including televisions, refrigerators, radios, electric fans, etc.

Li Tianyi selected some electrical appliances that could be produced domestically in the next ten years or so. After paying, he asked the mall to deliver them to the port.

He went to the port first, and when the mall's truck arrived with the goods, he had been waiting there for two hours.

After checking the cargo information, Li Tianyi signed his name on the delivery note, and the driver drove away with the note.

It was already evening and there were not many people at the port. Li Tianyi looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He waved his hand and put the things into the space.

He did not come out of the space, but used the space to leave the port. After walking a long way, he came out of the space and hailed a taxi back to the hotel.

After a dreamless night, Li Tianyi had breakfast early the next morning and then left the hotel with his suitcase.

HSBC, when the young lady saw Li Tianyi yesterday, she immediately led Li Tianyi into the meeting room with a smile, and then went to inform the manager.

Soon the manager came to the reception room with a dozen property certificates. After greeting, he handed the certificates to Li Tianyi. Li Tianyi opened them one by one and checked them, then put them aside.

"Manager Zhou, let's rent out the property as we said yesterday and deposit the annual rent into the bank account."

"Okay, Mr. Li, I understand." The manager quickly agreed and then asked, "Mr. Li, is there anything else you need our help with?"

Li Tianyi took out the box and put it on the table. "Deposit the money in this into the bank account."

There was 100 million pounds in the box, which equals 1000 million Hong Kong dollars. The manager concealed his shock and quickly asked someone to count the banknotes.

Soon, those people from yesterday came in again, said nothing, and started counting money. After a while, those people walked out, taking away the box and Li Tianyi's bank card.

"Mr. Li, do you need to buy a property?" The manager took the opportunity to start selling things from their bank. Li Tianyi shook his head. He had already bought enough yesterday and could not buy any more now.

"No, I don't plan to buy any more. I only buy real estate for investment. I need to save some money to buy other things."

Although the manager was very disappointed, he couldn't show any expression on his face.

Soon a staff member brought back Li Tianyi's box and bank card. Li Tianyi put the property certificate in the box and said to the manager, "Manager Zhou, do you mind if I go to the counter to check my account?"

"Oh, of course I don't mind, please go ahead." The manager understood what Li Tianyi meant. This was Li Tianyi's right and freedom.

The manager accompanied Li Tianyi to a counter to check the balance of his bank card. The current balance was more than 1100 million. Li Tianyi nodded with satisfaction, then said goodbye to the manager and walked out of the bank.

After returning to the hotel, Li Tianyi took a shower and had a good rest. If nothing unexpected happens, he will start to be busy tomorrow. After finishing the work, he will need to return to the inland, so he will not have time to be as leisurely as he is now.

It was already dark, and outside the lights were bright and the traffic was busy. Li Tianyi stood in front of the window, looking at the scene below. He felt that he had put down roots in Hong Kong Island. When he came to visit Hong Kong Island in the future, at least he would have a place to stay.

Why doesn't Li Tianyi go out to play? You can learn about the situation in Hong Kong in the 60s. The underworld was rampant and the law and order were chaotic. Going out at night is just looking for trouble, isn't it?

Li Tianyi didn't want to cause any trouble. The most important thing was for him to return to the inland safely.

The next morning came in a blink of an eye. After Li Tianyi had breakfast, he took a taxi to the newspaper office. The girl at the front desk must have received a notice. After seeing Li Tianyi, she led him upstairs.

At this time, President Zhao was already waiting for Li Tianyi. After the two exchanged a few pleasantries, President Zhao got down to business.

"Mr. Li, the machine will arrive at the port tonight, and you will be required to go on board to inspect the machine."

"Are there any of our people on the ship?" Li Tianyi was worried that if he found any problems after boarding the ship and found that there were no one of our people, wouldn't he be falling into the tiger's mouth?

"There are several crew members on board, all of them are military personnel."

Li Tianyi finally breathed a sigh of relief. President Zhao saw Li Tianyi's worry and comforted him, "Mr. Li, you can rest assured about your safety. Even if there are any problems during the inspection, we will not negotiate on the ship."
