Baiyue Cave Master

After arriving at the Peninsula Hotel, Wang Yuanchao took out 1000 Hong Kong dollars from the 100 Hong Kong dollars that he had exchanged in Guangzhou from his space, then took out the identity certificate given to him by the organization, handed it to the front desk, and checked into an ordinary room.

At that time, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker in Hong Kong was about 300-400 Hong Kong dollars.

The price of an ordinary room at the Peninsula Hotel, 100 yuan per night, is considered astronomical in that era, and most people simply don't dare to stay here.

After all, in this era, The Peninsula Hotel is synonymous with luxury.

After arriving at the guest room, Wang Yuanchao took a shower, wrapped a scarf around his neck and walked to the window of the room, looking out the window at the colorful and dreamy Victoria Harbour.

There are tall buildings on both sides of the harbor, and the night view on both sides of Victoria Harbor is like a colorful painting.

The bright lights decorate the skyscrapers with golden splendor, just like stars falling on the earth, and each building seems to be a fine work of art.

The sea surface is reflecting colorful lights and shadows, sparkling and dreamy.

The ripples and lights of the boats are intertwined, adding a bit of dynamic beauty. The flickering lights in the distance and the prosperity nearby complement each other, forming this charming night scene, which makes people immersed in endless romance and fantasy.

Wang Yuanchao picked up a glass in the room, poured a glass of homemade wine from the space, stood by the window, admired the dazzling night view, drank the wine and sighed:

"This beautiful urban jungle built by capital is really beautiful and desirable."

After finishing a glass of wine, Wang Yuanchao took out some lychees and began to eat them while thinking,

Wang Yuanchao's identity problem has now been solved.

But he only had 900 Hong Kong dollars on him, so the first thing Wang Yuanchao had to solve was the cash problem.

The second thing is to take the 300-year-old plant that has been prepared in his own space to the auction house for auction to obtain start-up capital.

Then choose an industry and develop your own business.

In 1975, Hong Kong's finance, real estate, overseas trade, and manufacturing industries were all very developed.

Today, Hong Kong's textile and garment industry accounts for 40% of the global clothing market share and has a great reputation around the world. Many European and American politicians and Hollywood stars have made special trips to Hong Kong to customize their clothes.

However, this year is the last year of Hong Kong's three-year financial crisis. Li Huanggua, the richest Chinese in later generations, made his first fortune through a plastic flower factory and then made a fortune by buying up Hong Kong land at bargain prices this year.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao's eyes flashed. After thinking about it, he shook his head again, thinking that it was somewhat difficult.

After all, the Chinese in Hong Kong are particularly xenophobic. The Chaoshan people are the mainstream in Hong Kong and are involved in both the black and white worlds.

The second largest group is Fujianese. There are also many people coming to Hong Kong from Fujian, but they are mostly from the lower classes of society.

Then there are the Chinese from Southeast Asia who came to Hong Kong to develop. These people are rich and flexible, and they have developed well in Hong Kong.

The next group is the Shanghainese, but here we are referring to the wealthy people from China who came to Hong Kong by boat from Shanghai.

This group of people had just arrived in Hong Kong. Each of them was considered wealthy and smart, but they basically acted independently, so their voice was very small in Hong Kong.

Wang Yuanchao was from Hunan Province. When he came to Hong Kong, it was difficult for him to form a group with others, nor did he have enough connections.

If Wang Yuanchao had gotten involved in the treacherous real estate industry from the very beginning, he would probably have drowned himself.

After all, no matter where you are in the real estate business, you have to be able to get along with both the black and white worlds, otherwise you will not be able to handle any actions made by your opponents.

If you have no power, no influence, and no mutation, and want to make money by doing business honestly in Hong Kong in this era, you will basically die, and it is normal for your family to be broken up.

Go into finance and make a fortune in the stock market?

Stop kidding. Let’s not talk about the fact that Wang Yuanchao had never traded stocks in his previous life.

What's more, a rich person without power, trying to steal food from others, making a little money is fine, but wanting to make a lot of money? This is no different from a child taking gold to the market.

Therefore, if Wang Yuanchao wants to create a world of his own in such a situation, he really has to rely on his own space.

Thinking of this, Wang Yuanchao was tired after walking all night, so he closed his eyes and went to sleep.

After waking up naturally from a good sleep, Wang Yuanchao washed up and came to the tea table in the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel.

I ordered a cup of black tea, a barbecued pork bun, a siu mai, and a shrimp dumpling.

Then I sat on the sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling window and ate breakfast while looking at the sea view outside the window.

I have to say that the cooking skills of the chefs of this era are impeccable. Wang Yuanchao was very satisfied with the breakfast.

After finishing breakfast, Wang Yuanchao came out of the Peninsula Hotel and got a taxi at the hotel entrance.

"Taxi driver, go to the Gold and Silver Exchange."

The taxi driver saw Wang Yuanchao coming out of the Peninsula Hotel in a neat suit.

Naturally, I dare not neglect it and quickly replied:

"Okay, sir."

The Hong Kong Gold and Silver Exchange is located in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island. You need to cross the sea to get there.

Wang Yuanchao sat in the back seat, watching the taxi arrive at the Jordan Road Pier in Yau Tsim Mong, board the ferry, cross the Victoria Channel, and go directly to Central on Hong Kong Island. He then disembarked and soon arrived at the Gold and Silver Exchange in Sheung Wan.

After Wang Yuanchao paid the fare, he had a big yellow croaker in his pocket. After asking three stores in a row, they all quoted the same price for gold: 1100 Hong Kong dollars for one tael of gold.

That translates to about $220 per ounce of gold.

However, gold is sold in Hong Kong not by gram or ounce, but by tael.

The yellow croaker in Wang Yuanchao's hand was from the Republic of China period. One yellow croaker weighed ten taels.

After thinking about it, Wang Yuanchao exchanged a large yellow croaker for 11000 Hong Kong dollars in banknotes, which he intended to use for his expenses during this period.

Wang Yuanchao put the money into the space, got into another taxi and said:

"Taxi guy, go to Sotheby's auction house."

"Okay, handsome boy, sit tight, we'll be there in no time."

From Sheung Wan to Central, isn't it just a matter of one foot on the gas? It's very close.

After Wang Yuanchao entered the Sotheby's auction house, a girl wearing a cheongsam and high heels came over immediately.

"Hello, sir. Do you have anything to sell?"

Wang Yuanchao smiled at the girl and said:

"Pretty girl, that's right, help me get someone in charge of your auction house to come out,

I have valuable items to auction.”

The girl looked at Wang Yuanchao, who was wearing a well-fitting suit and holding a long box in his arms, and said with a smile:

"Sir, can I know what category of items you are going to auction?

I can find a category manager to talk to you based on your needs."
