Adjani laughed and said, "I just said that Mr. Charles is too timid. Now he wants to withdraw his capital. If the funds really arrive, he will probably regret it soon and want to cry."

Charles is a French-born director and one of the veteran judges on the Cannes jury. He entered the industry with US$2 million in early April last year, which was not as much as the profits of people who got on the train on January 1st.

However, until mid-February 1987, his $2 million was still equal to more than 30% of the appreciation of the Japanese yen. Under 20 times leverage operation, the gross profit was more than $13 million.

In less than a year, 600% gross profit!

Three days later, on February 16, at the Regent Hotel in Wan Chai, Charles confirmed that more than 14 million U.S. dollars in principal plus profit had been received in his account. At first, he breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed.

He also ran to the hotel next door to find other Cannes judges to confirm with each other and certified the news that all principal and profits had been returned.

Including North American director Sidney, who also made huge profits and pocketed safely.

A group of Cannes judges had been having a wild day, but when they were done, when they woke up on the 17th the next day, Charles suddenly sat on the edge of the bed and fell into a daze.

After being in a daze for more than ten minutes, he picked up the phone and called Isabel Adjani, "Adjani, you are also 32 years old. When you get the Oscar for Best Actress at the end of March, you will also be a senior figure in the film and television industry. I

I would like to recommend you to enter the jury sequence of this year's 1987 Cannes International Film Festival, what do you think?"

Adjani smiled sweetly, "Okay, thank you Mr. Charles."

After smiling and being polite on the phone for a while, Charles asked curiously, "Adjani, your money? It was invested in the Japanese battlefield? Did you get it?"

Adjani was full of enthusiasm, "It's still early, why should I be anxious? I invested 1 million US dollars on January 1st last year, but when you entered the market in April, I increased my bets, including in August, the Hollywood Film Group gave me 500

I was paid $10,000 for filming, so I also added the $5 million."

"So far, the total profit is more than 30 million U.S. dollars. It's still a bit early to settle the account now. Let's wait. By the summer of June or July, we can still make several million more dollars."

Charles took a long breath and felt that his heart ached!!

Yes, he withdrew his capital in February and made 600% of the small profits, which are all US dollars. But if he had withdrawn his capital later, wouldn't the small profits made be even greater?

Yesterday, Charles and the other Cannes judges were so happy, joyful, and stable. But now they feel so heartbroken when they hear Adjani's words. Those are all money, beautiful swords!

He was still heartbroken, and Adjani smiled and said, "Char, don't tell me that you regret it and want to continue investing... Come and leave whenever you want. You don't believe in Zhao Sheng's strength?"

.”

"It's not that easy to get back on the bus now."

Sherben wanted to refute that they suddenly got out of the car, not because they did not believe in Zhao Donghuai's financial ability to make money, but because they were afraid that like old Jack and Sam in North America, if they wanted to withdraw and were rejected, their principal might be in danger...

But now, he was a little speechless.

Come when you want, leave when you want, turn around and still want to come back? How can it be that easy?

After the phone call ended, although Charles had made a lot of money and should have exploded with joy, when he walked to the second floor of the Regent Hotel, his expression was as ugly as if a close relative had died.

This emotion soon began to spread throughout the entire jury circle, including Sidney, who was ranked first last year!

………………

Zhao's Financial Center.

After Adjani put down the phone, she smiled with joy and joy. Then, taking advantage of the fact that only Zhao Donghuai was in the office and Zhang Min and Qiu Shuzhen were not there, she walked over quickly and said, "Zhao, I'm 32 years old. You don't have to use it anymore."

He’s getting old.”

"You really don't want to help me? Repair the water pipe..."

Director Zhao, "..."

Sister-in-law, please respect yourself??

………………

Kwun Tong.

Zhang Weifan, a senior regular worker at Wanjia Supermarket, happily returned home and said to his parents with a face full of surprise, "Mom, Dad, we've made a fortune. We've really made a fortune. We've settled."

"We invested 600,000 in the foreign exchange market on January 1 last year. I went to settle the account before and got a full 6 million Hong Kong dollars!"

"I can buy a house, a big house... I no longer have to let my little brother sleep in the living room. This is enough to buy several thousand-square-foot mansions."

He got on the bus on January 1st, and as of February 17th, the Japanese yen has appreciated by more than 40% to close to 50% proportionally.

After deducting various handling fees and other expenses from the gross profit of 600,000, it is really not difficult to buy a big house.

Father Zhang immediately put down what he was doing and ran over, "Really 6 million? Hiss... this is too..."

too exaggerated.

Who would have thought that at the end of 1984, the money they had saved for half their lives would total 600,000 yuan, which would become 6 million yuan in just over a year?

During this time, Zhang's father quit his job as a bus driver after the Spring Festival. He just wanted to wait for the day when the foreign exchange settlement would be settled. He helped buy a house and build a new home. Then when he felt stable, he was talking about applying to New World Passenger Transport.

Be a taxi driver.

New World Passenger Transport, launched by Qiu Shuzhen and Zhang Min in October last year, has been developing for four months now. The ferry has caught up with or even surpassed the Star Ferry and Yau Ma Tei Ferry. As long as you have money and enough money, you can spend money to surpass those two.

Isn't that what an established ferry company should be doing?

The taxi fleet connecting Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories has grown to more than 3,000 vehicles, making it one of the leaders in the taxi industry in Hong Kong.

After all, there are only 16,000 taxi licenses in Hong Kong.

Everyone who knows about it knows that joining New World Passenger Transport and driving a taxi is tantamount to becoming an employee of Zhao Donghuai in disguise.

With such an advantage, why else would Father Zhang drive a bus?

Wouldn't it be nice to drive a taxi and live with Zhao Sheng?

Zhang Weifan directly handed the bank card to his father and said with a smile, "Ami is about to give birth. Our family really can't live in it unless we buy a house. So when the company said that the financial group has started to start the settlement project one after another, I settled directly."

Already."

"If this money is still in the financial group, it will be settled in the summer, and it will make hundreds of thousands more profits, but our family's situation is special..."

The whole family lived in low-rent public housing. They used to be mixed-race, but they lived like this for the time being. When they first raised money to invest in foreign exchange, they were still a family of six, and Ami had only been married for two months.

His second brother is also still in middle school.

Now?? Not only is Ami about to give birth in the seventh month of her pregnancy, but her younger brother is also about to graduate. This summer he will graduate from high school and enter the society. He will be 18 years old.

What will we do then? Are we still living in such a crowded situation? What will we do if the second brother has a girlfriend in the future?

But with these 6 million it is different.

It’s 1987, and housing prices on Hong Kong Island have begun to skyrocket. In 1983 and 1984, the average residential price in Kowloon was more than 500 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, which is equivalent to more than 5,000 square meters. Now it has risen to more than 800 per square foot, which is more than 8,000 Hong Kong dollars per square meter.

This is the average price!

In Yau Tsim Mong and most residential communities in Kowloon Tong, the house prices have already been more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. That is, the new towns in Kwun Tong, Tseung Kwan O, Sau Mau Ping, Tsz Wan Shan and other districts are priced at 5,600 Hong Kong dollars per square foot.

price.

The more prosperous places are, the more expensive they are, and the more remote and backward areas are, the cheaper.

Zhang's father and Zhang's mother both laughed excitedly. After laughing for a while, Zhang's mother rubbed her hands and said, "Afan, where do you plan to buy a house?"

"Since last year, hasn't Hua Zhi acquired a lot of buildings in old communities and rebuilt them? Thanks to Zhao Sheng's support, we are able to make a fortune. To buy a house, we still have to buy from Hua Zhi."

Zhang Weifan nodded, "With this money, even if I spend more than one million to buy a thousand-square-foot mansion in Yau Tsim Mong, I can buy three or four units. I plan to buy a large one in Tsim Sha Tsui, preferably a double-storey duplex, 2000

It's about a foot and can accommodate our whole family."

"Then I also want to buy a set in Tung Chung."

Father Zhang was at a loss, "Tung Chung? Lantau Island?? You..."

Zhang Weifan said excitedly, "It's like this. I'm currently a small supervisor in the daily necessities department department in Kwun Tong Wanjia, but I have to wait a long time for promotion and salary increase."

"If it weren't for the inconvenience caused by Ami's pregnancy last year, I would have thought about going to the mainland to get gold plating. Even if I go to the mainland to get a low salary for one or two years, the salary is 89% less than in Hong Kong, but after working in the mainland for two years, I can be promoted quickly.

too much."

"If you miss the fast track for career advancement in the Mainland, Tung Chung is a good place. It is currently remote and backward, but I believe Mr. Zhao. Since Huazhi has made so many development plans and invested so much there, Tung Chung will develop in the future.

The prospects must be very good.”

"In addition to building vacation villas and resort hotels, Huazhi has also developed small communities similar to Taikoo Shing, including Wanjia Supermarket. If I go there now, it won't be long before I can upgrade it to another level."

The development model of Wanjia Supermarket, from just joining the company to being promoted to the general manager of the first district, and then to the entire CEO level of Wanjia, the wages of employees at level 9 in between are very poor.

The salary and benefits standards are similar to the gap between workers in grades one to eight in the Mainland.

Zhang Weifan has been in the industry for a few years, and through his honesty and hard work, he has gradually become a level 2 employee, a small manager of a Japanese hypermarket similar to the "former PARKnSHOP Supermarket under Watsons". I don't know if he wants to be a level 3 employee.

How long does it take to stay up?

Therefore, where the group initially develops and seizes opportunities to open up new markets, it will be easier to upgrade and get promoted. The wages and benefits of each employee at different levels are benchmarked against better standards!

There is basically only one CEO among level nine workers.

"More importantly, Tung Chung is in the early stages of development. The housing prices of the first batch of residential areas built are only NT$400 per square foot. HK$1 million can only buy a house of 700 to 800 square feet in Mong Kok and other places. But in Tung Chung, currently HK$1 million

You can buy a mansion with more than 2,000 square feet."

Father Zhang and Mother Zhang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and happiness when they saw their eldest son in high spirits and talking freely.

The bottom class of diaosi has become the middle class!

They really wanted to shout "Long live Zhao Sheng" several times.
