Chapter 494 The Fishing Tyrant Is Right Next to Me (1/2)
After a day and night cruise, everyone was a little tired when they arrived at Hong Kong Island. After a simple meal, they rested in the hotel.
The social gathering dinner will be held tomorrow night, and during this period, everyone's activities are limited to the vicinity of the hotel.
If you want to go to a distant place or visit relatives and friends, you still have to report to the organization.
After arriving at the hotel, Zhou Xiaoying was still studying English nervously with a walkman, and these were always drifting on the sea. This cramped little room made Li Duoyu quite uncomfortable.
Simply go downstairs to take a walk. The sanitation in Hong Kong in this era is really not good. There is sewage everywhere. Looking up, there are all kinds of signs.
Among them, the most are white backgrounds with red characters, all using traditional Chinese characters, and the taller ones are all neon lights, but it is daytime now, and the lights are not turned on.
What is Heji Health Care?
Every time I see this Indian magic oil, Li Duoyu can't help but want to laugh. This thing is a domestic brand, and it comes from here.
When Li Duoyu left the seafood market, two thugs secretly followed him and saw the hotel he stayed in.
Before leaving, Li Duoyu glanced at the old man and felt that he still wanted to go back, but the cost of going back was too high.
If he followed the right person, he could make tens of thousands a month. When an old man talked to him, he said proudly: "My son drives a taxi in Mong Kok."
Li Duoyu asked and found out that driving a taxi could make 20,000 to 30,000 a month.
"Thank you."
After walking a few steps, Li Duoyu came to the destination of this trip, a small seafood market.
It is indeed not affordable for ordinary people. This is also the reason why there is no such fruit in the mainland. This thing goes bad very quickly. Once it is not sold, it will really be a waste.
One of the taller thugs slapped the other shorter one on the head: "You almost killed me, you just wanted to hit me."
"I've been here for more than ten years, how is my hometown now?"
They put on cheap makeup, but there was no fatigue or helplessness in their eyes, but rather teasing.
"Faction, faction, I read it wrong, it's 25 yuan."
The beaten thug looked aggrieved: "How could I know that this young man was actually a mainland monkey."
Because they can make a lot of money, in their hometown they can only make 50 or 60 yuan a month at most, but here, it is definitely not a problem to make a few thousand a month.
When I just got here by car.
In fact, Li Duoyu didn't have much money, he was just talking, if he could really talk, then he would go and do it.
Many people who came here to get rich often sent money back to their hometowns, almost all TVs, three-in-one machines, refrigerators, etc., were bought by them.
After Li Duoyu walked a few steps, he couldn't help sniffing and suddenly smelled a strong stinky smell, but his throat couldn't help swallowing saliva.
Following the smell, he found that someone was selling durian at a fruit stall not far away, and they were selling a large basket.
The old man was surprised: "Is it changed so much? In the past, we couldn't eat meat once during the Chinese New Year."
Li Duoyu smiled: "In the future, you can go back to your hometown and see for yourself. The changes are still quite big."
Li Duoyu smiled:
After getting the business card, Li Duoyu was stunned for a long time after seeing the name on it. Don't run away. The biggest partner has always been by his side.
But unexpectedly, the woman said: "Don't be shy. If it's the first time, I won't charge you."
Li Duoyu left for a while, then turned back and stuffed a pack of the best Marlboro into the boss's pocket.
This is the name that Hong Kong people call mainland prostitutes. Judging from their accents, they should have just arrived not long ago.
The boss waved his hand: "I don't know you well, don't come to my shop, go find someone else."
There were all dried goods inside, placed on the top, in large glass bottles, all of which were large fish glue, and then all dried abalone.
Li Duoyu even saw a yellowfin tuna weighing more than 100 kilograms placed there. Yellowfin tuna can indeed be caught near Nansha Island.
After hearing the price, Li Duoyu was unhappy and directly bargained: "Twenty-five."
Li Duoyu rolled his eyes and said: "You charged me one kilogram more. I eat it often, but I don't know the price. This one is at most three and a half kilograms."
Li Duoyu continued to walk forward for another 100 meters and came to a relatively normal area. The streets here are very narrow, there are many stalls, and there are tarpaulins everywhere.
Everyone does not communicate in the same language. There are Shanghainese, Minnan dialect, and Cantonese. There are several languages spoken on one street.
"You can't just sell your goods here. You need the boss's approval. Don't say that to me again. You'll hurt me later."
Bora typewriter,
Good Luck Electrical Appliance Store.
Li Duoyu walked a few steps and passed a dim alley. There were several chairs and two or three sexy young girls leaning against the wall smoking.
Seeing Li Duoyu, who was dressed formally, a young girl boldly said, "Would you like to come in and eat? It's very cheap. You can have as many as you want."
After hearing this, the old man was stunned. He thought that since this man spoke the local dialect so poorly and wore decent clothes, he was probably from Kowloon, maybe he was in finance, so he charged him an extra pound. He didn't expect to be discovered immediately.
Suddenly, inspiration broke out, and he decided not to make pesticides or athlete's foot spray, but to enter a track without competition.
Li Duoyu was stunned for a moment, and didn't know whether this price was expensive or cheap in Hong Kong Island, so he was too lazy to bargain.
"You people in Dandan Island are better. We are from Digu County. At that time, we had to eat sweet potatoes almost every day. When we came to Hong Kong Island, we just didn't want to eat sweet potatoes anymore.
But I didn't expect that after coming here, I found that the sweet potato leaves we used to feed pigs were sold at a high price here."
Li Duoyu was shopping with a durian, and everyone saw him carrying a durian, and their expressions were much more enthusiastic.
The people here have also suffered, and some of their spirits have indeed been passed down to future generations.
After communicating with the shop owner, Li Duoyu learned that many people came to North Point after the reform and opening up.
Li Duoyu smiled and did not tell the truth to the other party. After all, the organization still had requirements: "I came here by boat."
Before Li Duoyu approached, he smelled the familiar smell of seafood. There were more than 20 stalls in this seafood market.
Interestingly, alleys like this are posted with various small advertisements everywhere.
The old man asked:
In addition to these, there are also various lobsters, the most are small blue dragons, and various large color TV lobsters.
Li Duoyu smiled and said: "Still eat, some children love to eat, now everyone eats white rice, meat can also afford to eat, seafood is especially abundant."
Li Duoyu smiled, without any intention of laughing at them, stopped looking at them, and left the alley.
Jinfang Nightclub,
The boss sighed while smoking: "It's still better now. I came here in 1979. I swam here from Shekou with my brothers. There were originally three brothers, but I was the only one who swam up."
Li Duoyu didn't look back. From the accents of these streetwalkers, he had already heard that these women were "Northern Girl Chickens".
As for North Point, Li Duoyu didn't have much impression of this place, but he remembered one thing very clearly, that is, when Hong Kong was in turmoil, more than 30 North Point people dared to fight 400 people.
"Indian God Oil, a treasure of the Buddhist country, is wonderful."
"Uh, this is not the president's hotel."
There was an old man sitting on the side of the road repairing shoes. I didn't expect that he was from the neighboring Digua County. When he learned that Li Duoyu was from Dandan Island, he immediately started chatting enthusiastically.
"It's impossible to sell it so cheaply."
The old man said quickly:
Li Duoyu had a brief exchange with the fellow villagers and found that although their living conditions here were not good, they were still relatively happy.
"You picked well. Is it usually durian?" The old man weighed it with a small scale and then said, "32 yuan."
"It seems that all the people who checked in today are bosses and leaders from our province. The president also asked us to maintain order."
Hearing this, Li Duoyu was silent. He had heard about the mass exodus to Hong Kong after the reform and opening up, and many people did die.
The old man looked at Li Duoyu and then said, "This durian is imported from Indonesia. It costs seven yuan per catty."
In Rongcheng, the price of a catty of tiger grouper is only about fifty cents at most, but it can be sold for at least four yuan here.
What is sold outside are various dried oysters, dried squid, etc., as well as various fishing rods, dried scallops, dried shrimps, sea cucumbers, etc.
What Li Duoyu saw in the car, as a farmer, he can not go to any place in Chenggang Island, but this seafood market is a must.
A quick glance saw thirty or forty kinds of marine fish, as well as various shellfish. It feels like all the fish species near the sea are on the stall.
In this era, there are many women like this, and you can meet several of them almost every few alleys.
"Do you still want to eat sweet potatoes?"
If there is room for cooperation with Hong Kong Island in the future, it is possible to cooperate in work.
The two lackeys looked at each other with their eyes wide open.
Li Duoyu turned and asked: "Boss, please, do you have the boss's business card? Give me one, and I will contact him when the time comes."
After hearing this, Li Duoyu couldn't help laughing out loud, as if it was really like this. Hong Kong Island is a place where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, and eating vegetables is not cheap.
Instead, he carefully selected a six-petal durian. Seeing that the durian at the bottom was picked up by the young man, the old man was still a little distressed.
Li Duoyu was not angry. Today he came to the seafood market to see what was going on.
Most of them sell seafood, and some sell some dried goods. Li Duoyu found that the entire seafood market is not big, but there are really many types of seafood.
It should be difficult to go through the formal channels. It is better to know one or two fishing tyrants, so that it is possible to open up the market.
One Hong Kong dollar can be exchanged for about 60 to 70 cents of RMB these days. If we convert it, this durian would be sold for about 15 yuan in the mainland.
"A secret recipe passed down from generation to generation, specializing in curing plum disease."
"Boss, it's like this, I have a lot of fish glue, high-quality dried oysters and dried abalone on hand, do you want some?"
It's really brave.
One person comes to Hong Kong, and the whole family lives a good life. One family comes to Hong Kong, and the whole village benefits.
What kind of fish are there? Mouse grouper, tiger grouper, eastern star grouper, western star grouper, cedar grouper, melon seed grouper, giant grouper, etc. There are also beautiful-colored humphead wrasse and green-clothed fish, as well as various pig tooth fish.
Li Duoyu did not continue to entangle with him and directly gave the other party 25 Hong Kong dollars.
Seeing the boss's nervous look, Li Duoyu was a little surprised. It seems that what is played in the TV series is not a lie. Sure enough, where there is seafood, there are fishing tyrants.
But Li Duoyu was not interested in the fresh seafood. He went directly to a seafood dry goods store.
But what Li Duoyu did not expect was that when the boss heard this, his face changed instantly and he became terrified. Then he looked around and cursed in a low voice: "Where did the fool come from."
This is the case in North Point, so the whole Hong Kong Island should be similar, if you want to export seafood dry goods here.
The price of seafood here is not cheap, and it is more than ten times that of Dandan Island.
In the past, when the big escape, I heard that there were special corpse pickers who helped bury the body of a stowaway and subsidized 15 yuan.
Many people thought that Li Duoyu was also smuggled here, so they asked, "How did you get here?"
The boss wearing black-framed glasses saw that he was looking at it and didn't seem to be planning to buy it: "What do you want to buy? I'll weigh it for you."
The most popular ones are all kinds of groupers. Maybe because it is close to the South China Sea, there are a lot of groupers here.
It is said that they were a pair of brothers who were originally engaged in pesticides. Under some strange circumstances, they read a picture book that was passed from Ah San and that good children were not allowed to read.
Places like North Point where you can speak Minnan dialect and Mandarin are often the temporary bases for these women. When they can speak Cantonese, they will go to Mong Kok to find more advanced customers.
Li Duoyu stepped forward and communicated with the other party in a not very standard Minnan dialect: "Uncle, how much is this durian per pound?"
The boss had a dark face and took out a business card from the drawer and whispered: "This is the business card of our boss here, you can contact him."
Li Duoyu replied: "It's much better than before. Our island has made a lot of money from raising kelp in the past two years, and some people raise eels for export to the island country."
After hearing this, the tall horseman hit him on the head again: "What do you mean he is a mainland monkey? We are also from the mainland, okay? After eating outside for a few days, you forget where you are from."
After Li Duoyu returned to the room, he slightly opened the curtains and happened to see this scene, and couldn't help but smile.
But after this incident, Li Duoyu also understood that if he wanted to do something in Hong Kong Island, he didn't need to run around for connections himself, he could just tell President Ou and others directly. (End of this chapter)
