Chapter 706
Nine o'clock in the morning,
Outside the Five Star Supermarket in Harbour City, it was already crowded with people.
The queue was like a winding long dragon, stretching from the mall entrance to the central atrium, people squeezing people, shoulders rubbing shoulders, the smell of sweat mixed with restless breath permeating the air.
Some people stood on tiptoe to look, some paced back and forth clutching their wallets.
These people... each one was braver than the next!
Finally, at 10 o'clock,
As the mall staff opened the mall entrance, the crowd instantly boiled over, surging into the Five Star Supermarket in Harbour City like a tide.
Some people didn't even bother to pick up their shoes when they were stepped on, pushing shopping carts and rushing forward, only to find that there were too many people and the carts couldn't be pushed in.
The milk powder shelf was surrounded in the blink of an eye; three middle-aged women started directly, picking up three cans of imported milk powder each and getting it done.
There were also greedy people trying to get five cans, but they couldn't hold them, and others were eyeing them covetously.
Then they could only take three cans within their ability.
"What are you doing! Buying so much, are we behind you supposed to drink the northwest wind?"
"Must limit purchases! Can't let them take it all!"
Citizens in the back row were so angry they stomped their feet; some were so anxious their eyes turned red, and if they couldn't squeeze in, they grabbed others' shoulders and shouted:
"Leave two cans for me!"
The supermarket manager hurried: "Limit of 3 cans per person!"
Shopping baskets and carts banged loudly, and milk powder cans were snatched back and forth.
Besides milk powder, the health products, beauty and skincare products, electronic products, specialty foods, and maternal and infant products on the shelves...
Fortunately,
The number of brave entrepreneurs in the first wave wouldn't be too outrageous; having one-tenth would be good.
Soon the supermarket started to quiet down.
These entrepreneurs quickly went to the Tsim Sha Tsui train station, boarded the KCR, and headed straight for Shenzhen.
Of course, they had to go through customs and pay taxes.
Some people took a small amount over and didn't have to pay taxes because they could avoid taxes on the grounds of "personal use."
Some people "smuggled" it over.
This first batch of "purchasing gold rushers," after going to the mainland, might encounter various dilemmas, or be stolen from, or fail to gain trust and not be able to sell, or not be able to sell at a high price and lead to losses.
But once successful, it would inspire more and more people to join this purchasing industry.
Beijing.
A plane landed at the airport, and then a letter and a recording were quickly sent to Yuetan Street in the Xicheng District—the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Affairs Office.
Three hours later, after the superior leaders saw the letter and the recording, they started to hold a meeting to discuss it.
Another hour later, the superior leaders drove to see the big leader.
After seven or eight hours, it was already evening, and the big leader finally had time to look at this information.
After reading it, he gave instructions:
"Notify the Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan Affairs Office, the Ministry of Foreign Trade, and other relevant departments to prepare a special investment promotion plan for Hong Kong capital, and at the same time discuss appropriate supporting policies..."
Since Director Guan Zu lit this fire in Hong Kong, the big leader naturally understood the need to add fuel to make the fire burn brightly.
And at this time,
The reaction in Shenzhen was the fastest; they called Beijing directly to ask for instructions: Can Shenzhen move first and organize an investment promotion team to go to Hong Kong first?
Opportunity knocks but once!
And here in Hong Kong,
All day long, Hong Kong citizens were discussing going north.
Bold citizens had already rushed into the mainland.
But 90% of the citizens were still in the "cautious" and "waiting" stage; they were waiting for feedback from the first batch of citizens who went north to get rich.
But it didn't hinder them from constantly discussing what methods to use to go north to get rich... hmm, just empty talk and bragging.
And at this time,
Governor Chris Patten finally thought of a brilliant idea to steal the spotlight!
"I actually thought of this idea!"
"Could it be that I'm a genius?"
He quickly had his secretary Feynman handle it.
That night,
In Boss Liu's villa.
Boss Liu was also a semi-great master in the romantic world of Hong Kong; although he lost to Young Master Lin, he was still a KPI contributor to many newspapers.
Especially the golf incident last time, which made him famous in one battle and became a king of romance.
Unfortunately,
He was still not as flashy as Young Master Lin.
Following Young Master Lin's exposure of being blackmailed with naked photos in Taiwan and then actively exposing it himself, and then creating the office romance topic, Young Master Lin reached the top again, becoming the king of flashy people in Hong Kong.
And today,
Boss Liu, supported by the Governor's policy and funding promises, decided to make a big move.
At 20:00 in the evening,
A female star came to Boss Liu's villa.
At 21:00, beep-beep~~~~~ an ambulance arrived here.
A female star came out of one of Boss Liu's villas; the key point was, it wasn't the female star being sent out, but Boss Liu being sent out, carried onto the ambulance, and headed to Sacred Heart Hospital.
Subsequently, after emergency rescue, Boss Liu had two golf balls removed from his body.
The hospital and nurses were dumbfounded.
Subsequently, the news quickly spread to all major and minor media in Hong Kong.
"Ah?"
"Golf?"
"Tycoon Liu again?"
"What? This time, Tycoon Liu had golf balls stuffed into him? Directly into the anus? Hiss hiss hiss~~~~~"
"And it was Miss Director Guan who stuffed them?"
Holy shit!
All the media were shocked.
The kind of shock that felt like the sky was falling and the earth was cracking; their jaws all dropped to the ground.
These media rushed excitedly to the hospital!
What is the fastest news tool for timeliness?
It's the radio station!
Once the news came out, it went online immediately!
All taxis in Hong Kong started broadcasting this news on their car radios.
"Dear listeners... big news..."
"20 minutes ago, a famous female star was playing games at Boss Liu's villa, and then an ambulance arrived at Boss Liu's villa..."
"Presumably citizens still remember the golf game she and Boss Liu had in the villa last time..."
"Didn't expect this time..."
"It was Boss Liu who had golf balls stuffed into him..."
Driver: "Hiss~~~"
Passenger: "Hiss~~~~"
All drivers and passengers in Hong Kong: "Hiss~~~~"
Dumbfounded!
Unbelievable!
Is this the world of the strong?
It really is like a small knife stabbing the ass, opening one's eyes to see the world!
At this time,
Director Guan Zu was with Le Huizhen; the two had finished showering and were preparing to sleep.
Director Guan Zu was lying on the bed, his legs spread apart.
And Le Huizhen was crawling, starting from Director Guan Zu's feet at the end of the bed, crawling while shooting electricity with her eyes, a little demon reincarnated!
Then,
A phone call came in.
"What?"
"Boss Liu he..."
Director Guan Zu sat up abruptly from the bed, his eyes wide.
He had never seen such exaggerated news since he grew up.
This Chris Patten is too flashy, right?
What price did he pay to make Tycoon Liu cooperate with this?
Wen Huixin: "Boss, once this news comes out, it will definitely suppress our news; should we arrange for someone to suppress this news?"
Director Guan Zu chuckled: "No need."
There's no need to suppress this kind of news.
On one hand, Director Guan Zu's news involves the vital interests of every citizen in Hong Kong, and citizens won't give up such news because of gossip.
On the other hand, Director Guan Zu needs to wait for the first batch of people who ate the crab to return to Hong Kong from the north, a process that takes several days. Only after they return can Director Guan Zu continue to build momentum for the next stage. In addition, he also has to wait for the reaction of the mainland officials, which also takes several days.
These few days are enough for the heat of this gossip news to fade away.
Wen Huixin: "Yes, Boss!"
After hanging up the phone, Le Huizhen had already crawled onto Director Guan Zu and was performing her dragon-subduing methods.
"Who is it again? Seems to be a woman."
"There's big news..."
Le Huizhen: "??!"
She jumped up directly: "What news?" Director Guan Zu: "Just got the news, Tycoon Liu and that female star from last time played golf again, this time it was Tycoon Liu's turn to have golf balls stuffed into him..."
Le Huizhen: "!!!"
"Ah ah ah~~~ I want this news!"
She jumped off the bed directly, preparing to put on clothes to interview this explosive news...
Then...
Was dragged back by Director Guan Zu.
"Hehehe~~~ you can't run away!"
"Don't, let me go, I want to interview the news, woooooo~~~"
Le Huizhen lay on the ground, wanting to struggle out...
Tears streaming down her face~~~~
That night, 22:00,
TVB and ATV reported Boss Liu's news without any surprise.
Gossip, female stars, tycoons, sex, novelty—add all the elements together, and the news is invincible.
Citizens of thousands of households sighed in shock one after another.
Opening the anus!
2 golf balls!
This Boss Liu is too damn good at playing!
Shangri-La Hotel.
At this time, the number one playboy in Hong Kong—Young Master Lin—was enjoying a massage from his young model girlfriend.
Then, after he saw the news.
"Ah??"
Young Master Lin leaned back tactically!
Shocked for a whole year!
Then, he was confused inside: As the king of romance in Hong Kong, am I about to be surpassed by Boss Liu?
He started thinking about what way he could win back.
But after thinking about many ways carefully, he found that he couldn't reach this level...
Young Master Lin could only close his eyes in despair!
This time, I really lost!
A new day,
Newspapers were spread all over more than 1000 newsstands in Hong Kong.
Without a doubt, Boss Liu's news occupied the headlines of all newspapers.
Major newsstands in Hong Kong had already been surrounded by a group of lewd neighbors.
"Give me a copy!"
"Give me a copy!"
All citizens of Hong Kong, in offices, restaurants, buses... were discussing it; this heat was ten times hotter than Director Guan Zu's news, simply exploding with heat!
"What?"
"Golf balls?"
"My god, how did he stuff them in?"
"Boss Liu is too good at playing; is this the happiness of the rich?"
"Is the news true or false?"
"How could it be false? Even the photos are there!"
"Awesome!"
Director Guan Zu finished breakfast and went downstairs.
Ding Hu held the newspaper, looked at the news, was sluggish, and asked: "Brother Zu, how can there be such a perverted person in this world?"
Director Guan Zu rolled his eyes at him: "This is diverting attention, silly~~~"
Ding Hu: "Ah??"
Director Guan Zu added another sentence: "But it is indeed very perverted!"
20 minutes later, he arrived at Central Plaza.
Now Director Guan Zu's "Gold Rush to the North" trend had been formed, a majestic trend that could not be stopped!
This mere piece of gossip news... couldn't change the overall situation!
Government House.
Chris Patten called Downing Street in the UK to claim credit.
After Major finished listening to Chris Patten's report, he was greatly shocked! (The Prime Minister pig incident happened in 2015.)
Then he praised Chris Patten's ability greatly.
"Very good!"
"You handled it very well!"
Major had always heard negative news from Chris Patten, and today he finally had positive feedback.
Chris Patten took the opportunity to express his loyalty:
"Serving the British Empire is my lifelong honor!"
"I swear, I will never let the conspiracies of Director Guan Zu and his ilk succeed. As long as I am still sitting in the position of Governor, I will make everyone who tries to get close to the mainland pay the price!"
At this moment, the red scarf on Chris Patten's chest was even brighter!
Major laughed heartily on the other side of the phone: "Good! Good! Good!"
Finally, he had a change of view on Chris Patten's ability.
In the following days,
Golf news appeared one after another.
The next day, Boss Liu appeared to refute the rumors.
The third day, the female star appeared and said it was indeed true.
The fourth day, Boss Liu appeared and finally admitted it, saying "People have the freedom to pursue freedom"...
The fifth day, the female star said, I was just paid to do things...
The sixth day, Boss Liu and the female star turned against each other and continued to break the news...
One explosive point every day,
The attention of all newspapers and citizens in Hong Kong was completely sucked away.
A week passed in a flash.
As the saying goes, fullness cannot last long; when water is full, it overflows.
Boss Liu's news quickly lost its heat in repeated discussions.
Shenzhen,
This was the 7th day Shen Zai came to Shenzhen.
He was carrying a snake-skin bag full of imported sanitary pads, walking step by step on the slate road of Dongmen Old Street in Shenzhen.
This trip could be said to have many twists and turns.
First, on the train, his wallet was stolen, a direct loss of 300 RMB.
It was really reality slapping him hard in the face.
There are also many thieves in the mainland!
There used to be many in Hong Kong, but after the Five Star Group rose, there were fewer and fewer thieves. Didn't expect to encounter them directly in the mainland; it was really "reviewing history."
Laughing and crying.
However, the subsequent process of selling milk powder didn't go smoothly, because his kind of non-store retail goods were hard to gain the trust of citizens, and they were expensive.
Finally, Shen Zai changed his thinking and ran to the store to promote.
Two cooperation models: First: leave a large bag for consignment, give a middleman fee. Second: sell directly to the store.
Relying on the invoices and the exquisite packaging, he successfully gained the trust of the store owner. If it were in later generations, this wouldn't work at all. But now in 1994, it was difficult to make replicas with quality and appearance, or it was impossible for any factory to make replicas.
He negotiated cooperation methods with several store owners.
Next,
Shen Zai only needed to keep going back and forth between Shenzhen and Hong Kong.
When Shen Zai boarded the train and returned to Hong Kong, the temperature in December was a bit cold, but his heart was warm, and his steps were much lighter.
He knew that he had finally taken the first step on his gold rush road to the mainland.
At this moment,
The sun in the sky was so bright!
His originally dim life also became bright!
Thank you, Mr. Director Guan!
Loyalty!
And at this time,
Also in Shenzhen, in the government building,
The high-level officials were holding an important meeting.
The big leader was mobilizing at the meeting.
He was impassioned and excited: "Dear comrades, the superior leaders have agreed to let our special zone exert subjective initiative and actively organize investment promotion teams..."
"Last week, we already drafted a list for the investment promotion team."
"Now that the superior leaders have agreed, let's act as soon as possible and build the investment promotion team!"
"Do you remember our slogan?"
"Time is money, efficiency is life!"
"We must rush to Hong Kong at the fastest speed, with the support of Xinhua News Agency, actively contact the Five Star Group, and cooperate with ATV to promote the mainland..."
"At the same time, go deep into all levels of Hong Kong society, carry out a series of investment explanation meetings, entrepreneurship sharing meetings, and other activities, and introduce key information such as mainland investment policies, market environment, and industrial needs in detail..."
"Comrades!"
"We must seize this opportunity!"
The big leader was extremely impassioned!
Clenched his fist!
All the cadres shouted!
