Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Fizz..."

Yang Yue frowned and groaned in pain.

She tried to sit up from the soft big bed, but as soon as she moved, she felt a tearing pain in her lower body, which made her gasp.

When Zhao Wenhao heard the sound, he immediately ran to the bedside and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

He gently stroked Yang Yue's forehead, his eyes full of heartache and worry.

Seeing Yang Yue's frown, he said softly, "If you don't feel well, then don't get up. I'll call the hotel front desk and have them send lunch to your room."

As he spoke, he picked up the phone on the bedside table and dialed the hotel's dining number.

Yang Yue raised her head, rolled her eyes at Zhao Wenhao, and said coquettishly, "It's all your fault! You only care about your own happiness and don't care about my feelings at all."

Zhao Wenhao quickly nodded and admitted his mistake, saying that he would pay attention to this issue in the future and promised to be more considerate of Yang Yue's feelings.

After hearing his words, the anger on Yang Yue's face dissipated a little.

She sighed, slowly leaned against the head of the bed, and stopped moving.

More than half an hour later, the hotel waiter brought lunch.

Zhao Wenhao specially ordered a sumptuous lunch, including steak, Australian lobster, salad, cake and other delicacies.

The lunch boxes were placed on the dining table one by one. Zhao Wenhao walked to the bedside and said to Yang Yue, "Dear, lunch is ready. Let's go to the dining table and eat together."

Yang Yue nodded, got out of bed carefully, and walked to the dining table with Zhao Wenhao.

The two sat at the table and began to enjoy the sumptuous lunch.

The two of them ate and chatted in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Yang Yue told Zhao Wenhao about her childhood stories and family background, while Zhao Wenhao shared his hardships and achievements in the process of starting a business.

They talked about each other's dreams and future plans, encouraging and supporting each other.

At this moment, the relationship between the two became even deeper. They appreciated and understood each other and spent a wonderful afternoon together.

"You go ahead and do your work this afternoon. I want to take a nap. We can go shopping in the evening."

Yang Yue lazily lay down on the bed again.

"Okay, I do have something to do this afternoon, so I won't accompany you. Don't leave the hotel alone. I'll accompany you when I come back."

Zhao Wenhao gave Yang Yue a sweet kiss on the forehead, then said goodbye and left.

"Mr. Zhao, you're here without even saying hello in advance so I could send someone to pick you up."

Downstairs of Wansheng Group, Fang Qiming enthusiastically shook Zhao Wenhao's hand and shook it vigorously.

"I know you are all busy, so I dare not disturb Mr. Fang." Zhao Wenhao replied politely.

Then, led by Fang Qiming, the two of them got on the elevator.

"Unfortunately, my uncle is abroad, otherwise, he would have met with Mr. Zhao in person today."

Fang Qiming took Zhao Wenhao on a tour of the Wansheng Building. His uncle was Fang Rongsheng, the founder of the Wansheng Group.

"Mr. Fang, you're too polite. I came to Hong Kong Island just to take care of a small matter. How could I dare to trouble Chairman Fang?"

Zhao Wenhao casually toured Wansheng Group, and then followed Fang Qiming to his office.

"Mr. Zhao, if you need any help, please let me know. In Hong Kong, our Fang family may not be considered a wealthy family, but we still have some respect."

After the secretary prepared the tea, Fang Qiming asked.

If there were some unpleasantness between the two parties due to negotiations in the past, then with the signing of the contract, the two parties became partners.

Therefore, Fang Qiming was very welcoming to Zhao Wenhao's arrival.

After all, both parties are now cooperating. If we can help, it will definitely be more beneficial for future cooperation between the two parties.

Zhao Wenhao was not polite. After all, he came to Hong Kong Island to work.

However, he was not familiar with Hong Kong Island and had no so-called network of connections. Therefore, if he wanted to get something done, he really needed Fang Qiming's help.

"Mr. Fang, I want to register two companies, one in the Cayman Islands and the other in Hong Kong Island.

However, I am not familiar with the relevant procedures in Hong Kong Island.

I believe there must be professional intermediaries in Hong Kong that can handle this kind of thing, so I hope Mr. Fang can introduce me to a reliable person to assist me.”

Hearing this, Fang Qiming couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

He had originally expected that Zhao Wenhao would look him up for something important this time, but he didn't expect it to be just such a small matter.

If I could have the opportunity to help Zhao Wenhao solve some big problems, he might owe me a favor.

After all, the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay. However, things did not go as planned and Fang Qiming was unable to get what he wanted.

"Mr. Zhao, there's no need to bother you to come here in person for such a small matter. If I had known earlier, you should have just called me and arranged for someone to come over. I will definitely help you handle everything." Fang Qiming patted his chest and promised.

Then he picked up the phone and called the company's financial director.

"Excuse me, Mr. Zhao established two companies. Is this your intention to expand into Hong Kong Island?"

After finishing the call, Fang Qiming sat down again and asked curiously.

Zhao Wenhao didn't hide too much. "We plan to have this Hong Kong company control Hengyuan Electronics, while the Cayman Islands company will control the Hong Kong company."

"Oh..." Fang Qiming immediately understood what was going on. "So that's it. The Cayman Islands, a tax haven."

Zhao Wenhao nodded, but did not tell Fang Qiming too much about his further plans.

In addition to reasonably avoiding taxes, his idea is also to move some funds abroad in this way.

In addition to investment, it is also because the exchange rate between the US dollar and the RMB will continue to decline in the next few years.

After he moves the funds abroad, he can hold them directly in US dollars or use them to speculate in real estate.

He spent the whole day shopping yesterday, but it wasn't completely wasted. He also found out about the current housing prices in Hong Kong Island.

According to his information, the current price of office buildings and shops in Hong Kong Island, even in the bustling areas, is only around HK$5 per square meter. This is the case in Tsim Sha Tsui and Causeway Bay.

If it is in some remote areas, it may be less than HK$2 per square meter.

Of course, Hong Kong Island calculates by feet, while Zhao Wenhao is used to calculating by square meters.

Zhao Wenhao remembers clearly that by the end of 1996, office buildings and shops in the bustling Hong Kong Island area were being hyped up to 20 to 30 yuan per square meter, a nearly four- to five-fold increase in just a few years.

As for residential buildings, the price was about 1992 yuan per square meter in 2, but by the end of 1996, it had risen directly to around 10 yuan per square meter.

It was not until the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis that Hong Kong's stock market, futures and housing prices saw a significant decline.
