Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Sister, Yueyue, I need to go on a business trip in a few days."

A few days later, Zhao Wenhao informed Zhao Wenjing and Yang Yue while having dinner with them.

The two of them didn't think much about it, after all, it was normal for Zhao Wenhao to be on business trips.

Unfortunately, what they didn’t know was that this time Zhao Wenhao was still heading to Hong Kong Island.

"Wenhao, are you traveling alone on business? Why not let Zhou Chen accompany you?"

After that incident, Yang Yue was still a little worried. Although she didn't know Zhao Wenhao was still going to Hong Kong Island, she still offered her suggestions.

Zhao Wenhao thought about it and agreed.

Don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

Although he was going to Hong Kong Island, he did not tell anyone, including Fang Qiming in Hong Kong Island, who would not know that he would be going to Hong Kong Island again in the near future.

But if something happens along the way, having a bodyguard by your side is just a precaution.

"Okay, I got it. Let Zhou Chen follow me later. Sister, Yueyue, when you are free while I'm away, please go visit Cheng Gong on my behalf."

"Don't worry, even though Cheng Gong is your driver and bodyguard, he saved your life after all. We all know what he did."

"Yeah, okay. I'll tell you guys when we leave."

……

Three days later, Zhao Wenhao and Zhou Chen boarded a plane to Pengcheng again, and then passed through customs in Pengcheng, with their destination being Hong Kong Island.

“This is Hong Kong Island!”

Zhou Chen, who came to Hong Kong Island for the first time, couldn't help feeling a little dazed as he looked at the towering buildings.

The difference between the mainland and Hong Kong Island can be described as huge. Although the mainland's economic development momentum has picked up at this time, the gap is still huge compared to Hong Kong Island.

"What's the big deal? In a few years, our mainland won't be much worse than them." Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but say.

Ever since meeting Zhou Xiaoyu, Zhao Wenhao has never had any good feelings towards Hong Kong Island.

Clearly, in the eyes of Hong Kong Islanders, mainlanders are all country bumpkins. Even if some people try to hide it well, their deep-seated contempt still exists.

"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first."

Zhao Wenhao didn't have much time to care about other things, so he took Zhou Chen to a five-star hotel.

"So expensive?" Zhou Chen scratched his head, somewhat incredulous. "Mr. Zhao, I should find a place to stay by myself. This is too expensive. One night costs over a thousand Hong Kong dollars."

"So, don't just look at how much Hong Kong Islanders earn; they also spend a lot. Think about it, those chicken coop-like houses are selling for tens of thousands of dollars per square meter. If you were asked to buy them, would you be willing?"

Zhao Wenhao ignored Zhou Chen's opinion and still helped him check in.

Zhou Chen chuckled. He couldn't even imagine buying a house that cost tens of thousands of yuan per square meter. If he had tens of thousands of yuan, he would go back to his hometown, get married, and then build a beautiful two-story house.

Then you can fence off the yard and tidy it up. Wouldn’t that be beautiful?

"In the future, if you can find time to learn more Cantonese, I might come here more often. By then, you won't even be able to help me with anything you want since you won't even understand the language."

"Yes, Mr. Zhao, I will learn it when I get back."

"Follow me, and I will definitely give you an explanation later. This applies to both Cheng Gong and you."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao. We will definitely work hard and will never let you down."

……

When going upstairs, the two chatted for a while.

Originally, Zhao Wenhao only treated Cheng Gong and Zhou Chen as his ordinary employees. But after experiencing this assassination, Zhao Wenhao thought a lot.

At the same time, I also pay more and more attention to cultivating the people around me.

No matter what, through this incident, both Cheng Gong and Zhou Chen gained his trust.

"Tomorrow, I'll go to Citibank to open an account. Just follow me, no need to say anything. After that, I plan to find two real estate agencies. My main goal is to buy a shop as an investment."

Zhao Wenhao began to tell Zhou Chen the purpose of his visit to Hong Kong Island.

But Zhou Chen was a little confused. He couldn't understand what Zhao Wenhao meant.

"You are the boss, and I am just a bodyguard. I don't understand anything you are talking to me about investment!" Zhou Chen couldn't help but think in his heart.

Looking at Zhou Chen's expression, Zhao Wenhao could roughly guess what the other person was thinking.

He then explained, "The main purpose of letting you know this is so that you will know how to operate it in the future. For a period of time in the future, it will not be convenient for me to come to Hong Kong Island frequently.

But if I have spare funds, I still plan to invest in shops or office buildings in Hong Kong Island.

Then, I hope you can learn more about these aspects and take over some of my responsibilities for a period of time. This includes waiting for Cheng Gong's injury to heal, and he will do the same."

"This, this, Boss, I'm afraid I don't have such ability!"

Zhou Chen felt a little panicked and a little flattered.

In his opinion, it was his and Cheng Gong's job to protect Zhao Wenhao.

They were paid such high salaries just to ensure his safety in special circumstances.

But now it seems that the boss has had a lot of feelings these days.

Of course, this is a good thing for Zhou Chen and Cheng Gong. Who doesn't want to gain the trust of others?

But now Zhao Wenhao actually asked them to learn about investment matters, which made him feel very nervous. He was worried that he would not be able to meet the boss's requirements and would delay important things.

"Don't overthink it." Zhao Wenhao chuckled and explained, "Just make sure you understand the situation of the shop you want to buy and that there aren't any disputes. Then, check out the surrounding area and you can buy it directly."

Zhou Chen didn't dare to speak, thinking: What if I lose money? This is a business involving millions of dollars. How can a bodyguard like me dare to take on such a job?

Zhao Wenhao shook his head and didn't say much.

He is very clear that in the next four years, housing prices in Hong Kong Island will only rise sharply and there is no possibility of a fall.

It was not until the outbreak of the Southeast Asian financial crisis that Hong Kong's financial and real estate industries experienced a sharp decline.

Therefore, as long as you do your homework and choose a property in a prosperous area, you will basically make a profit if you buy it.

However, if I tell Zhou Chen too much at this time, he won’t be able to understand.

So, I will guide him to operate it a few times in the next few days. Once he understands the general intricacies of it, he will know how to do it in the future.

Of course, Zhao Wenhao could also find someone else to do this, but there were not many people he could trust.

Even if there were, like Qin Cheng of Hengyuan Electronics, who was his direct descendant, Qin Cheng was currently in charge of the sales department and had no time to spare.

As for Vice President Yuan Bin, to be precise, it was a manager he hired, but he was not able to be so open and frank with him.

But Cheng Gong and Zhou Chen are different. They have both experienced life and death with themselves.

Of course he could never forget this friendship.
