Chapter 295 Hong Kong City
Before he knew it, Qiu Huoming, like Lawyer Wen, leaned back in his seat and fell asleep.
When he woke up, the train was about to arrive at the station. Lawyer Wen was tidying up the desk. Seeing that he had woken up, he smiled and said, "There is still a train ride to go. After all, you are a young man, so you must be sleeping soundly..."
Qiu Huoming straightened up quickly. Everyone in the carriage was already packing their belongings.
The Shenzhen Railway Station was just ahead. Lawyer Wen sighed, "It's very dusty here. Be careful when you get off the train."
Not long after, the train slowly stopped at the station.
Qiu Huoming looked at the train station in front of him which looked like a small county town and could hardly be compared with the Shenzhen metropolis of later generations.
The train stopped, and Qiu Huoming followed Lawyer Wen out of the train and walked out of the simple platform.
Qiu Huoming stared in amazement at the square not far away where yellow dust was flying.
Lawyer Wen took the lead, stepping on the dirt road and walking forward quickly.
After passing this square, you will see Luohu Bridge.
As one of the four Asian Tigers, Hong Kong ranks among the top in terms of per capita GDP. Many migrant workers from Southeast Asian countries are proud to work in Hong Kong.
Qiu Huoming stood behind him and asked, "Uncle Wen, which stop should we get off at Gangcheng?"
There were many people standing on both sides of Luohu Bridge. There was a railway track in the middle, but no train had arrived yet.
"Get off at Hung Hom Station. We're almost there. Your uncle's shop is nearby..."
Qiu Huoming straightened up and looked around. There was a barbed wire fence separating the Port City and Shenzhen City. On the other hand, the Shenzhen City side still looked like a rural area, with farmland everywhere and low, old buildings.
As soon as they entered the port city, Lawyer Wen's expression relaxed and he even smiled more often.
"Let's go. We still have to queue..." Lawyer Wen raised his wrist and looked at his watch.
Qiu Huoming looked out the window. The prosperity of the port city and the dilapidated city of Shenzhen formed a sharp contrast.
Go further and you will reach the port. This is currently the only channel to go to the port city.
Lawyer Wen smiled and said, "We are almost home."
Perhaps because he was in a good mood, he began to introduce the scenery along the way to Qiu Huoming.
After walking for a while, we came to a street with three-story arcades on both sides.
Qiu Huoming responded and started to queue up obediently.
Qiu Huoming got off the bus with Lawyer Wen. There were many large and minibuses parked near the station, and some passengers were diverted and queued up at a nearby platform.
The car stopped and everyone rushed to the door.
They had lunch on the train.
Lawyer Wen took Qiu Huoming out of the station.
It was finally my turn, it was already noon, and after my ID was verified, I was able to get on the bus...
Qiu Huoming and he entered the port one after another. There was already a long queue inside, and Lawyer Wen consciously walked to the end of the queue.
Qiu Huoming listened attentively. The two asked and answered each other. Time passed by. After dozens of minutes, the train slowed down.
(station……)
(Luohu Bridge)
The ground floor of the arcade is a storefront. There are various signs on the street, the neon lights have not been turned on yet, and there are many cars parked on the side of the road.
One of the shops had a sign of a recording company hanging on it. The sound of music could be heard from the shop, and business was booming. Most of the customers were young students and young people dressed as office workers.
"Besides your uncle's store, he also has a company and has signed some singers..."
Lawyer Wen gave a brief introduction and the two of them entered the store.
A plump and gentle woman in a cheongsam and a very young and thin young man stood behind the counter. The woman was the cashier and the young man was responsible for packaging audio and video products...
The store is playing the hit songs selected last year...
Qiu Huoming looked at the dazzling array of tapes in the store and couldn't help but smack his lips...
If this store were moved to the mainland, it would definitely make a fortune.
Lawyer Wen waited until the woman finished her work before asking, "Mrs. Jin, is Mr. Jin upstairs?"
Mrs. Jin raised her eyes and saw that it was Lawyer Wen. She immediately smiled and said, "Oh, Lawyer Wen is back. Come upstairs and have a cup of coffee. He is..."
Then her eyes shifted to Qiu Huoming, who was standing with Lawyer Wen. Her eyes lit up, "You are Xiao Qiu, right?"
Qiu Huoming nodded and followed Lawyer Wen in calling out, "Hello, Mrs. Jin."
Mrs. Jin immediately came out from behind the cashier, she covered her mouth and laughed, "That's not the right way to address me. You should call me little auntie... Usually when Chuo Pu praised you, I thought he was exaggerating. But now that I see you, you're probably prettier than the most popular artist here..."
Qiu Huoming quickly changed his words, "Aunt..."
Lawyer Wen urged, "Let's chat later, go up first..."
Mrs. Jin nodded and said, "It's important to get down to business. Let's go up quickly..."
Lawyer Wen opened the gate, and Qiu Huoming followed him up to the second floor. He then asked Lawyer Wen in a low voice, "Why is the young aunt collecting the cash herself?"
Lawyer Wen glanced at him and lowered his voice: "There was a guy up front who was dishonest and was still recruiting people, so she was temporarily replaced."
Qiu Huoming suddenly realized.
Jin Chuopu's study is on the second floor, next to the warehouse.
The third floor is usually his residence, but after he made money, he bought a house somewhere else, but it was inconvenient to commute, so he simply moved back into the old house.
For a place like Hong Kong where every inch of land is valuable, Jin Chaopu is already considered a successful person.
"buckle"
Lawyer Wen knocked on the door familiarly.
"Come in."
The door opened, and Jin Chuopu was sitting at the desk in front of the window, flipping through a thick book, with a coffee cup next to him, still steaming...
The room was filled with the aroma of coffee.
"Hello, little uncle."
"Mr. Kim."
He turned his head and looked at Qiu Huoming and his group, and raised the corner of his mouth, "You guys are doing pretty good. Please take a seat. I'll make you a cup of coffee."
After the coffee was brewed and placed on the coffee table, he dragged a chair over, sat down and asked:
"Have you eaten yet? If not, there's a tea restaurant next door. Their fried beef noodles are famous far and wide..."
Qiu Huoming quickly replied: "I have eaten."
"Then I'll take you to eat Deep Well Roast Goose tonight. Many people drive there to eat."
Qiu Huoming smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let my uncle spend the money."
"What's the big deal?" He looked at Qiu Huoming thoughtfully, then at Lawyer Wen.
Lawyer Wen took a sip of coffee and a trace of fatigue appeared on his face.
"Lawyer Wen, you should go back and rest early. Remember to arrive at the auction house on time tomorrow..."
Lawyer Wen put down his coffee, stood up, held his handbag and nodded, "Then I'll go back and rest. I can't take the tossing of my old bones any more..."
As he left, the study door closed again with a click, and the music downstairs became a little quieter.
Jin Chuopu then said jokingly, "The wool comes from the sheep. I remember that I got a commission."
Qiu Huoming grinned and said, "It was agreed that you deserve it. If it weren't for my uncle's help, I wouldn't be able to get it by myself."
Jin Chuopu looked at Qiu Huoming, who knew the current situation, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Tomorrow, several internationally renowned collectors will show up. The bowl you found could be a hit. This is a big deal. You have to be there no matter what. Friendship is friendship, and business is business..."
