Chapter 1 The Great Era
Sunday, February 1974, 9.
This morning.
Liu Zhicheng looked at himself in the mirror, young, handsome, and sunny...
The handsome guy in the mirror is shirtless, with a high nose bridge, three-dimensional facial features, and handsome as if carved by a knife. He exudes a kingly temperament.
A carefree smile appeared on his handsome face. He couldn't help but clench his fists and sighed: It's good to be young.
"Brother Cheng, are you ready to leave?" A pair of small hands wrapped around his ribs and wrapped around his chest.
"It's business. My mother called me just now and asked me to go home. She said she had something to discuss."
"So when will you come to Hong Kong Island to play with me next time?"
"Lina, go to school first, we'll contact each other by phone." Liu Zhicheng put on his clothes and prepared to leave.
Lina, whose full name is Sun Lina, is a graduating student from Hong Kong University. I met her by chance just last month.
Liu Zhicheng liked her at first sight. She was very pretty, not inferior to those Hong Kong beauties. Moreover, she was obedient and not domineering, just a little bit wild.
After knowing each other for a few days, under the attack of Liu Zhicheng's sugar-coated bullets, he took off his clothes and surrendered...
Liu Zhicheng's home is in Macau.
Liu Zhicheng's family is considered to be a wealthy family in Macau. Although his father is only a civil servant of the Macau government, his mother is a wealthy businessman. Born in Macau, he was influenced by Portuguese culture since childhood, so he applied to a Portuguese university last year.
Unexpectedly, last winter, Liu Zhicheng and his classmates went to the ski resort near the school to ski. Unfortunately, he fell and hit his head. He was in a coma for a day and a night before waking up.
Liu Zhicheng's body was not missing any limbs, he just had a new soul. Then he decided to stay in Macau and no longer go to Portugal to study.
Because he knew that the great era of Hong Kong and Macau was coming, and he couldn't miss it. So, he chose to drop out of school two months ago.
During this period, Liu Zhicheng went out late and came back late every day. He either spent the whole night in Macau karaoke bars or crossed the sea to play in Hong Kong Island.
It's not because he is playful, but because he has no choice but to distance himself deliberately.
In his previous life, he was a mainlander in 2023. He was 45 years old and died in an accident. His consciousness traveled through time and space like a ghost and possessed the body of Liu Zhicheng, who was only 20 years old.
Liu Zhicheng's mother Yin Huifen is now over 40 years old. But she was born into a wealthy family, she has an elegant temperament, speaks very cultured, and seems to never lose her temper with others.
She had only one son, Liu Zhicheng, and she doted on him utmost.
As the saying goes, no one knows a child better than his mother. Liu Zhicheng didn't want her to find out that he was different, so he deliberately chose to distance himself from her and her family. This made his family think that he was a little weird and they thought it was the sequelae of his injury.
Liu Zhicheng has been visiting Hong Kong Island these days and has not returned to Macau.
As a parent, seeing their son doing nothing all day, they must be extremely worried. So, they called Liu Zhicheng on his pager and asked him to come home for a chat.
Unconsciously, two months have passed since his rebirth. Liu Zhicheng, under the pretext of having fun, is getting familiar with this new era while thinking about his future life.
.........
The Peninsula Hotel is the most luxurious place in Hong Kong. It is the favorite hotel for Hong Kong's wealthy and upper class to gather. In the two months since Liu Zhicheng was reborn, he must stay at the Peninsula Hotel when he visits Hong Kong.
After passing through the lobby of the Peninsula Hotel, they arrived at the door. A black Rolls-Royce was already parked at the door of the hotel waiting. After Liu Zhicheng got in, he said to the driver, "Hong Kong-Macao Ferry Terminal."
This is the special car used by The Peninsula Hotel to pick up and drop off guests, which fully demonstrates the luxury of the hotel.
Although Hong Kong has just experienced a major stock market crash, the rich are still rich and the streets are still busy, which also indicates that the dark clouds hanging over the heads of Hong Kong people will soon dissipate.
The stock market crash in 1973 caused heavy losses to the citizens of Hong Kong. It should be noted that the s was the beginning of the era of stock trading among the entire population of Hong Kong.
In the past two months, Liu Zhicheng has often thought that if he could be reborn a year earlier, he would definitely be able to reap a lot of wealth in the Hong Kong stock market.
There are four major stock exchanges in Hong Kong. For a city as small as the palm of a hand, there will definitely be competition for companies to go public, and fraud is unavoidable in order to meet the listing requirements.
Although there are certainly many high-quality companies listed during this period, there will certainly be a large number of shell companies listed to fish in troubled waters, and the "Jindi Drinking Milk" incident will occur. The stock market will fall from more than 1973 points at the beginning of 1770 to around 150 points at the end of this year, a drop of more than 90%.
Liu Zhicheng knew that Hong Kong’s economic darkest hour was about to pass and the era of “stock and land pull” was about to come.
It was through the planning and development during this period that Li Chaoren established his position as the richest Chinese businessman in the future.
After hanging out in karaoke bars for nearly two months, Liu Zhicheng discovered that he had a talent for music and his singing skills were no worse than those of the popular superstars of the future.
Moreover, as a music enthusiast in the previous life, he could play the piano and read music, and was familiar with the famous songs of major singers in the 1970s and 1980s. If he sang them in this life, would he become a popular "hotshot".
But as a child of a wealthy family, his family would certainly not easily agree to him becoming an "actor". This time when he returns home, he must have a good talk with his parents about the issue of starting a business.
To get from Hong Kong Island to Macau, you have to take a boat from the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal, which is a tiring journey.
When he got home, Liu Zhicheng looked at the time. It was just past three in the afternoon. His father Liu Yanxin and mother Yin Huifen had not yet gotten off work, and even his sister Liu Liming had not finished school yet.
He had nothing to do and thought about starting his own business, so he went upstairs to his room, got a pen and paper, and thought about the business opportunities he had discovered in Hong Kong and Macau in the past two months.
These two months have been spent on traveling and investigating the market. Combining my memories of my past life, I plan to write down some good projects.
At this time, the development of Hong Kong and Macao is still relatively backward and the cake has not been divided yet, so it is a good time to enter.
If you want to have a big piece of cake, you must first make the cake bigger, and you must divide other people's big pieces of cake.
How can we make the pie bigger? How can we share more of the pie?
This is the primary problem Liu Zhicheng is currently facing.
After all, each era has different entry points and different opportunities. If something is too advanced, it will not be realized, just like making smartphones now will definitely not be successful.
Not to mention smartphones, even ordinary mobile phones are difficult to succeed.
It is now 1974. Liu Zhicheng feels that his entrepreneurial project must be suitable for the current situation and not too advanced, so that he has a chance to win his first gold medal.
The reason why some entrepreneurial classics are called classics in later generations is that they should be successful in any era. Of course, this is just his personal opinion.
Liu Zhicheng wrote the word "real estate" on a piece of paper, writing down a project that would bring dividends for decades to come.
