Chapter 237: Traveling from Shanxi (Part 2)

"It seems that the sir is a knowledgeable person," the owner praised with a smile: "This pocket watch was a down-and-out nobleman from Europe who died in our store. I heard that it was a blood-dripping work by a famous watchmaker in Switzerland."

Xu Changqing smiled and didn't say anything. He actually didn't know any famous pocket watches. The reason why he chose this pocket watch was mainly because it had a strong spiritual energy on it. As the saying goes, all arts in the world can achieve enlightenment. Any craft in the world can reach the end of the world can enter the Tao. The maker of this pocket watch is probably also a person who enters the Tao, otherwise this ordinary pocket watch would not have such strong spiritual energy.

"Shopkeeper, this pocket watch..."

Xu Changqing was about to ask about the price of the pocket watch, but someone at the door of the store continued: "Boss Su, this pocket watch is recorded in my account. In addition, everything this gentleman bought in the store is recorded in my account." Then he saw the man walking in and saluted respectfully in front of Xu Changqing: "I have seen Mr. Youqing, ask Mr. You!"

Xu Changqing turned his head and looked at the person who appeared, saying, "It turns out it's you. Shouldn't you deal with the Chen family's industry in Guangzhou? How could it be in Hong Kong?"

The visitor was Chen Hui, the son of the Chen family who Xu Changqing recommended to Chen Deshang, who is now the leader of the Chen family's industry in Hong Kong. Although Chen Hui only responded to the north and did not play any role in this north-south peace talks, Chen Deshang's help made him occupy a place in the eyes of the Revolutionary Army and the heretic alliance. So after the establishment of the new regime, he served as the General Director of the Customs in Guangzhou on behalf of the Chen family, and was in charge of the commercial and goods between Guangzhou and overseas, which was a big and small shortage.

"Yesterday, Youqing received a telegram from the head of the family and knew that Mr. Hu was coming to Hong Kong to take a cruise, so he put down his things in Guangzhou and returned to Hong Kong to wait for Mr. Huo." Chen Hui lowered his head and explained: "I hope that Mr. Huo will be able to sit there while he is in Hong Kong, so that Mr. Huoqing can stick to Mr. Huoqing's spiritual energy."

Chen Hui's humble appearance surprised the owner of the foreign clothing store. Chen Hui is already a famous figure in the Hong Kong business world. Apart from not having the title of a Justice of Peace, his strength can be said to be the top spot in the Hong Kong business world. Especially a year ago, his successful merger and acquisition of several foreign trading companies made him have the reputation of Chen Huilan, the helmsman of the Chen family. Such a powerful celebrity is as respectful to the young man in front of him as a servant, and he also holds the teacher's courtesy, which makes people think a lot and guess Xu Changqing's identity.

"It shouldn't be a coincidence that you will appear in this store!" Just as others were guessing, Xu Changqing smiled coldly, looked at Chen Hui, and said with a sarcastic look.

Chen Hui scratched his head awkwardly and said apologetically: "Youqing is also eager to see you, so he is waiting at the dock to see if you have arrived in Hong Kong. I hope you don't blame me!"

Xu Changqing looked at Chen Hui coldly, and saw that his head was filled with cold sweat, and then he slowly said: "You should know that my personality doesn't like to beat around the bush. If you have any questions, just say it! In short, you are also a talent I recommend. If you encounter any trouble, I will not be able to live a good life. Now I'm honest and see if I can help you solve it during this period of time in Hong Kong."

Chen Hui hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "Youqing has indeed encountered some trouble, I hope the sir can save me."

As he said that, Chen Hui ordered the shop owner to wrap up the sets of clothes and pocket watches purchased by Xu Changqing, and then asked the servants waiting at the door to take them. He led Xu Changqing to a carriage waiting outside the door, and then ordered the coachman to go to Tsim Sha Tsui. When only he and Xu Changqing were left in the car, he slowly told the difficulties he was facing now.

It turned out that Chen Hui accidentally learned that the British Hong Kong government was preparing to build a large-scale construction in Tsim Sha Tsui, not only to expand the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, but also to build a railway station connecting Guangzhou and build this area into a high-end residential area. With his talent, it is not difficult to see the huge business opportunities contained in it, so he invested nearly 70% of the funds in hand to buy the land around Tsim Sha Tsui. Now the land at the east and west ends of Tsim Sha Tsui has been bought, and only a large piece of land in the middle has not yet moved. If the land in the middle cannot be bought, then the land on Chen Hui’s hand is equivalent to wasteland, and the value is depreciated by no means a little bit.

At present, this crucial land is in the hands of He Zhengsheng, a Hong Kong landlord and justice of the peace. Since this land is his ancestral property, no matter who comes to discuss it, he has no intention of selling it. Until a few days ago, He Zhengsheng suddenly changed his mind and was willing to sell the land at a low price, but there was also a condition attached, which was to cure his son's hysteria.

For some reason, He Zhengsheng's son, who had just returned from studying in the UK, suddenly went crazy. Not only did he speak a strange language, but he also injured people from time to time. Seven or eight people were stabbed by him, and even his mother was injured by him. Since Chinese and Western medicine could not find any reason, some people said that this was a possession of evil. So He Zhengsheng asked someone to find many famous monks and Taoists to exorcise evil, but the results were very little. In the end, he had to use this method similar to a reward to ask people from the Hong Kong business community for help.

Although Chen Hui did a very secretive job of buying Tsim Sha Tsui land, many people still saw the clues and heard the news. So the entire Hong Kong business community stared at the land in He Zhengsheng's hand, hoping to buy it, because they knew very well that no matter whether the land was eventually sold to the Chen family at a high price or stayed for future development, it would not be a loss-making transaction.

"It seems that many people have tried to exorcise evil spirits for this young master of the He family, otherwise you wouldn't be so anxious." Xu Changqing turned to look at Chen Hui with a sad face, and continued: "And some of them did a good job and were about to succeed."
