Hong Kong Tycoon: Starting from Delivering Dongfeng Express

Chapter 83: Wealth and Prosperity
When talking about the area where wealthy people gather in Hong Kong Island, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely Victoria Peak.

Since the Peak is the highest peak in Hong Kong Island and the Governor's Villa is also built here, it has become a symbol of the powerful in Hong Kong Island over the years. Those who can live here must be famous nobles or wealthy people in Hong Kong Island.

But if we really talk about the living environment, the crescent-shaped Repulse Bay on the south side of Victoria Peak, which is nestled between the mountains and the sea, is actually better. It is known as the "No. 1 Bay in the World" and also has the reputation of "Hawaii of the East", so in recent years it has also attracted a large number of wealthy people represented by the gambling king and Cheng Yu-tung to purchase properties.

"Mr. Ye, I wonder if you are satisfied with the villa we just saw?"

Paul, a sales elite in a suit and tie, was following beside him respectfully and asking politely.

Ye Dongsheng did not answer, but asked the people around him: "Cousin, aunt, what do you think?"

At this time, Eleventh Aunt's face was flushed, and she had not yet recovered from the excitement of visiting the 6000-square-foot villa!
Eleventh Aunt really never thought that one day she would be able to walk into a 6000-square-foot luxurious mansion in Repulse Bay!

When her daughter Yue Guang just followed Ye Dongsheng, she was full of complaints. The fortune teller had clearly said that her daughter would marry a wealthy man from Hong Kong Island, but she didn't expect that she would marry an immigrant from mainland China!
But now, in just two months, this mainland Chinese guy is about to buy a 6000-square-foot mansion!
She couldn't help but sigh, the fortune teller was really accurate! Fortunately, she didn't ruin her daughter's good marriage!

More importantly, Ye Dongsheng respected the mother and daughter very much and would ask for their opinions even when spending tens of millions.

Eleventh Aunt is now grinning from ear to ear, and she looks so satisfied with her cheap "nephew"!

Although she was already overjoyed, Eleventh Aunt still pretended to wave her hands in front of the salesperson: "It's just so-so. I've lived in this kind of beach villa for decades!"

The place she lives in on Lantau Island is also a two-storey beachfront "villa"!

Although Paul, the salesman, could see the pretentious nouveau riche demeanor in Eleventh Aunt, he didn't show it at all. Instead, he said very politely:
"Ma'am, if you're not satisfied with this one, there's another 8800-square-foot mansion with a private garden. I'll show you around!"

Moonlight grabbed Eleventh Aunt's arm and shook it, "Mom! This place is so nice, don't be picky!"

Eleventh Aunt was also panicked, fearing that this would exceed Ye Dongsheng's budget, and hurriedly said through her daughter's words: "Since you are satisfied, then let's just make do with it!"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said to Paul, "Since my aunt is not satisfied, let's go take a look at the 8800 square foot unit!"

Yue Guang quickly hugged Ye Dongsheng's arm and said, "Brother, there's no need for that. My mom is just trying to be nice. You don't need to spend so much money!"

Ye Dongsheng patted Yue Guang's little hand gently: "Don't worry, cousin, I know what I'm doing!"

Upon hearing this, Eleventh Aunt straightened her chest again and said to Paul in a taunting tone, "Lead the way!"

Looking at the Eleventh Aunt walking in front with a heroic and confident look, Ye Dongsheng smiled.

Even Wang Jianjun has taken Ah Hong to buy a house, so Ye Dongsheng certainly can't forget about Yue Guang!
In fact, after he had settled down, he had already told Yue Guang that he wanted to buy a house. However, he was still preparing for Dongfeng Express at that time and could not explain the source of the large sum of money, so he put the idea aside for the time being.

Now that Dongfeng Express has a daily revenue of nearly 30, it naturally doesn’t have to worry so much anymore!

Furthermore, now is a great time to buy property in Hong Kong Island, as housing prices are just beginning to rise. Over the next decade, Hong Kong Island housing prices will soar, potentially increasing more than tenfold!

Not to mention the revenue of Dongfeng Express, Ye Dongsheng still has more than 10 million in his hands just from the previous windfall. He has so much cash that it would be a waste not to invest it!

Moreover, Ye Dongsheng will not pay the full amount for the house this time, as the loan service in Hong Kong Island is very developed.

A user like Ye Dongsheng, with such a strong asset base as Oriental Express's cash flow, is naturally a favorite for all banks to offer loans to! Some banks even offer a 1% down payment!

Of course, Ye Dongsheng would not look for those wild small companies. He would go through the larger formal bank procedures and only pay a 20% down payment.

After a while, Auntie Eleven said to the salesperson, Paul, with a satisfied look on her face, "I really like this 8800-square-foot apartment. It's not the private garden that attracts me, but the number 8800 is so auspicious!"

"As long as Ms. Ye likes it!" Paul immediately smiled and thought to himself that he didn't know who had just gone in and was wandering around inside and didn't want to come out.

However, he still focused all his attention on Ye Dongsheng, after all, he was the one who had the final say.

Ye Dongsheng looked at the moonlight and asked, "Cousin, do you like it?"

Yue Guang was naturally very tempted, but still asked quietly, "Cousin, do you really want to buy it? It's very expensive. Will it really have no impact on your business?"

Ye Dongsheng smiled and shook his head, then said to Paul, "That's it. How long will it take?"

The current price of this villa is HK$1900 per square foot, which is about HK$2 per square meter, and the total price is about HK$1670 million. If you take out a loan, the 20% down payment is only HK$330 million, which is really a piece of cake for Ye Dongsheng!
Paul was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect Mr. Ye to be so straightforward. He made the decision right after viewing the house on the spot. He was definitely his favorite customer!

"Mr. Ye, I'll contact the landlord now!"

After leading Ye Dongsheng and others to the VIP room, Paul ran away happily.

Eleventh Aunt sat down with a proud air, her neck tilted high as she said, "Ah Sheng, it's because no one at the Peak wanted to sell, so I chose this 8800-square-foot villa with a large private garden to make up the difference!"

As she spoke, she straightened her body and looked at everyone in the room, her intention of showing off was obvious.

The people at the next table couldn't help but look at Eleventh Aunt. When Eleventh Aunt saw one of the faces, she quickly pointed at it and asked in surprise, "Hey, aren't you the host from the TV station, Lei Da Piao?"

Ye Dongsheng also looked at the next table and saw a family of five. The male host, who was in his forties or fifties, was wearing a somewhat old suit. The female host was a fat woman with a broad figure, but she looked very festive. There were also three daughters sitting beside them: big, medium and small.
Lei Dapiu didn't expect that there would be someone here who knew him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows to his wife, indicating that he also has fans!

He smiled and responded to Eleventh Aunt: "Hello, ma'am! I didn't expect you to watch my show!"

Eleventh Aunt giggled, "Wow! You've been reporting the news for eighteen years, and you often make mistakes. Recently, you were blown away during a typhoon. How could I possibly forget you?"

Lei Da Piao's originally boastful expression froze and turned into an embarrassed look. His wife and daughters beside him were all covering their mouths and laughing secretly. His little daughter, who was seven or eight years old, laughed the loudest, attracting everyone around to look in their direction.

Lei Da Piao coughed and pointed at his youngest daughter Zhaodi and said, "Didn't Dad teach you not to make loud noises in public?
Now, there's no breakfast tomorrow!"

The youngest daughter, Zhaodi, immediately showed a surprised expression: "Thank you, Dad!"

Lei Da Piao was choked, but continued to threaten: "You won't be able to go to school starting tomorrow!"

Zhaodi's eyes widened and she became even happier: "Thank you, Dad!"

Lei Da Piao glared at his daughter and said, "From tomorrow on, don't recognize me as your father anymore!"

Zhaodi clasped her hands in front of her chest: "Wow! Thank you so much, Dad!!!"

Lei Da Piao snorted and chuckled, "Because I'm no longer your dad, I won't give you pocket money from now on!"

Zhaodi immediately wilted: "Dad, no!"

This scene made Ye Dongsheng and Yue Guang laugh. It can be seen that the family atmosphere of this family is still very warm and harmonious.

At that moment, the door to the VIP room opened again, and a salesperson led a lady in. She walked in front of the table of people led by Reda Piao. The lady was still wearing a fur shawl in the middle of summer, looking very arrogant.

"Hello there!"

Lei Da Piao and his wife Fei Fei stood up and stretched out their hands to shake hands with him, but the lady frowned and ignored them completely. She asked the salesperson next to her:
"Are you kidding me? They want to buy my 6000-square-foot mansion too?"

Obviously, compared with the noble lady, the attire of the ordinary citizens of Ray Da Piao's family is much more shabby.

But Aunt Biao Feifei was no pushover. She immediately frowned, "Hey, gossip, what do you mean? We're buying a house to give you face!"

The lady rolled her eyes and glanced at Fei Fei with disdain: "You are wearing cheap clothes. I would be ashamed if you could live in my house!"

Fei Fei puffed out his chest and said, "Humph! What's wrong with me dressing like this? Millions of people in Hong Kong dress like this!"

The noblewoman sneered and said, "Millions of Hong Kong Islanders are as shabby as you. There will be more and more poor people coming from the mainland in the future. That's why I have to immigrate! I don't want to be infected by you poor people's shabby airs!"

With a bang, Lei Da Piao slammed the table, stared at the lady with a stern look on his face, and said in a resounding voice:

"It is your freedom to immigrate, but I will not allow you to look down on Hong Kong Island or China!

Although we are from Hong Kong Island, we have Chinese blood flowing in our bodies and should throw ourselves into the embrace of our motherland!
Immigration is irresponsible behavior!
We should stay here with the indomitable spirit of Hong Kong Island and be witnesses of the great changes of the times!

Do our part to realize the four modernizations of our motherland!

So I will never be like you, immigrating and becoming a 'third-class citizen' for the foreigners!"

The lady was stunned by Ray Da Piao's words for a moment, but after she came to her senses, she wanted to continue her sarcasm, but before she could open her mouth...

"well said!"

The lady turned her head and saw the young people at the next table smiling and clapping.

Eleventh Aunt also stood up and pointed at the lady and said loudly:

"Immigration means having secret dealings with foreigners, forgetting your roots, living under someone else's roof, and begging for mercy! You're sending sheep into a tiger's mouth! I think you're a traitor, a traitor! We Chinese have called this kind of person a traitor since ancient times!"

The noble lady was so angry at the Eleventh Aunt: "Who are you?!"

Eleventh Aunt held her head high and walked up to him, saying with great authority, "My house is an 8800-square-foot mansion with a private garden! How about it?!"

The noble lady shuddered all over, intimidated by Eleventh Aunt's aura, and unconsciously took a step back.

Ye Dongsheng also came over and gave Eleventh Aunt a thumbs up: "Aunt, you said it well too!"

The lady looked at the imposing Ye Dongsheng again and snorted in a timid tone, "I won't sell this house!"

Fei Fei also waved his hand and cursed: "Do you think I want to buy your sheepdog's house?"

The lady was so angry that her chest heaved: "You! You have no manners, you really have no manners! I want to immigrate immediately!"

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked away. When she reached the door, perhaps because she was too angry, she tripped over the carpet under her feet and fell flat on her face, which made Ye Dongsheng and the others laugh.

After the laughter, Ye Dongsheng smiled and extended his hand to Lei Da Piao: "What you just said is really insightful! My humble name is Ye Dongsheng. As our neighbor from now on, you are welcome to visit us often!"

"I am over-flattered!"

Lei Da Piao also smiled and shook hands with Ye Dongsheng, but then sighed: "Mr. Ye, I'm sorry! We can't buy it today. I think it's God's will that we shouldn't buy a house here!"

Auntie Piao Feifei was originally smiling, but her face immediately changed color when she heard this. She yelled at her husband, "Hey! What's the matter? Didn't we agree to buy a big villa?"

Lei Dabiao pulled his wife aside and said, "I didn't want to buy it in the first place! Our lottery jackpot is 1900 million, and a villa costs over 3 million. We still have a few million left to support our three daughters. Prices in Hong Kong are skyrocketing so fast. How are we going to spend the rest of our lives?"

Now it wasn't just Feifei who was upset. The three daughters all became dissatisfied and pleaded, "Dad, didn't we agree on this before?"

"Dad! I've already told my friends that I'm going to have a party!"

"Dad, I've already invited my classmates to come to our big villa next month!"

Radar Biao pointed at his three daughters and taught them, "If you pursue enjoyment all day long, you will only become a slave to material things and lose yourself!"

Then he said to Feifei: "I married you because you were simple enough!"

But Fei Fei turned around and said, "I don't care! This lottery ticket is mine! I'm going to buy it!"

Lei Da Piao snorted coldly, "You're so forgetful. When we were choosing the lottery tickets, I picked two out of three. I own two-thirds of the lottery. I'm the majority shareholder, so I have the right to speak and decide!"

These words left Feifei speechless, and she could only sigh with her three daughters.

At this moment, Ye Dongsheng suddenly coughed and advised Lei Dapiu, "Mr. Lei, in my opinion, Hong Kong Island's housing prices have great potential in the future. Repulse Bay is a treasure trove. Buying it will make you a profit!"

Ye Dongsheng didn't actually want to interfere in Radar Biao's family affairs, but he had already recognized who this family was. If he didn't intervene, the family's 1900 million yuan prize money would be deposited in the bank, and then the bank would suddenly go bankrupt, which would be like returning to the pre-liberation era overnight! It would be a false alarm!
Based on what Lei Daqiao just said, Ye Dongsheng also wanted to give him a reminder.

Radar Biao looked at Ye Dongsheng, then at the quarreling mother and daughter, and could only wave his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, let's go home and discuss it. We can't buy it today anyway, so let's come back another day!"

Hearing that there was hope again, Feifei, her mother, and her three daughters suddenly became energetic and all had smiles on their faces.

The youngest daughter Zhaodi even ran directly to Ye Dongsheng and said, "Brother! Thank you!"

Then she said to the moonlight, "Sister, you are so beautiful!"

Moonlight smiled and rubbed Zhaodi's head: "Little sister, your two sisters are also very beautiful, and you are also very well-behaved!"

Ye Dongsheng then asked Lei Dabiao, "Mr. Lei, I'd like to ask, which bank do you keep your money in now?"

"Hengfeng Bank, what's going on?" Radar Biao asked curiously.

Ye Dongsheng smiled and said, "Nothing, I just want to apply for a loan from this bank!"
