60. Chapter 60
The family soon learned that my dad had approved the application and would be able to go home around April next year.
It's almost the end of the year. Because of this, my dad will be very busy for a while in the next period of time and may not be able to go home for the New Year at the end of the year.
Although this is a bit regrettable, the whole family is still very happy, especially mom and Anna.
My mother blindly admires my dad. She thinks it’s good no matter what he does. My husband is the best in the world.
Anna knows her father's ability. Even if she doesn't develop as she already knows, she will definitely not be much worse, so she can rest assured.
Even grandma was happy at first, but later she knew that Anna's father had a lot of ideas and gave the idle iron rice bowl that could have been given to him to the government department to another person who had transferred to the business. She was determined to take advantage of the national policy to make a breakthrough. After doing something, she was a little worried and said it for several days. However, grandma also knew that her son An Guoqiang was very filial, but she decided to make up her mind and he would not listen to it after saying it.
It's almost the end of the year. Anna is waiting for her father to come home and has also figured out whether she can find a way to get some money. When her father comes back, no matter what he does, with financial support, it will always be easier to get started.
When my father started his business, Anna was not born yet. Although she later became a business leader, he mentioned it, it was not easy at the beginning.
Although I made some money before, I could use it to live a small life for a while, but it really couldn't be of great use.
But what kind of quick way can I make money now? Anna has been thinking about it for a few days and can't think of it, so it's fine. That day, when she went to work in the clothing factory and helped Master He deliver a sample of it, she saw Zang Chunlan coming to the workshop and showing off a watch on her wrist to the female workers.
"Oh, this watch is so good. It looks rare. Where did it come from?" asked a female worker in the workshop who usually flatters her.
"Bringed from Hong Kong! Imported watches! Gilded! Fully automatic! No need to wind up every day!"
Zang Chunlan rolled up her sleeves and showed them to the female workers with a full face. The female workers gathered around to appreciate it, and after marveling and envious, Zang Chunlan went out with satisfaction.
"It's so shameless," said the female worker who was flattering just now, "Didn't Director Zeng go to Hong Kong a while ago? He has the face to wear it and show off! Wait, sooner or later, the wife of Chief Zeng's wife will come over to make trouble, and there will be a good show when the time comes!"
The female workers started to whisper and laughed constantly.
Sister Bi came in and told everyone not to talk nonsense. The female workers slowly stopped talking, and the sound of sewing machine tapping and stomping on the threads was heard in the workshop again.
It was just a small episode, but it unexpectedly reminded Anna.
Anna suddenly remembered that at this time, Hong Kong was recovering from the global financial crisis in the late 1970s and gradually becoming a global financial and economic center. The stock market also recovered and flourished from the collapse, and lasted for several years.
It should be now that it has risen from less than a thousand points, and has been rising unilaterally to nearly 4,000 points. If you buy any stocks with your eyes closed, you can keep them still, and you can at least double or three times in one or two years.
The reason why Anna knew about the golden age of Hong Kong stock market before she was born was because she had a godfather named Jin before.
The godfather's English name is Jim. He is a Hong Konger born and raised in the shoe box room of Sham Shui Po, the largest and oldest slum in Hong Kong. His godfather's life is pitiful and has no father. His mother raised him with rags. With his talent and hard work, he got rid of the harsh living environment of refugees, criminals, dentists and prostitutes. After working and studying at Ye Da, he got a no-recognized Ye Da diploma. After many twists and turns, he finally found a job in the Kowloon Stock Exchange in Hong Kong at that time and started his career.
This godfather is Anna's father's close friend and a godfather in the financial investment industry. His godfather has been unruly all his life, never married or have children, and he treats Anna likes to be a daughter. When he has nothing to do, he likes to brag about how he strives for success back then. Thanks to him, Anna is very familiar with this golden age of the Hong Kong stock market in the 1980s.
Anna remembers very clearly that her godfather once boasted to her that when she first entered the industry, the stock market began to recover and rise, and a large amount of hot money from all over the world began to pour into Hong Kong. Big players and the industry secretly controlled and manipulated the stock price to jointly raise the stock market. It was still the beginning of the recovery period, and many small and medium-sized investors were still scared of the stock market crash before. He was optimistic about one of them and took the risk of buying all the 5,000 Hong Kong dollars he saved from working in the past few years with the largest leverage without telling his mother. In just three months, the stock rose nearly four times. He felt that it was almost done, and he took the profit and made nearly *10,000 yuan.
Less than two weeks after he sold it, the stock began to fall sharply, trapping countless investors who later jumped in after temptation. Until several years later, the stock price still did not return to the highest point of selling at that time.
This single godfather not only made his first pot of gold, but also his first venture capital investment in his life, and he won a great victory. The godfather was very proud of this history and often showed it in front of Anna, so Anna knew very well.
Calculate the time, it's almost this time.
Can she go to Hong Kong and copy the investment that her godfather is most likely preparing to make?
Anna was so excited by this bold idea that she had no intention of going to work and went home to think about it all night.
The biggest problem is how to go to Hong Kong as soon as possible.
Reform and opening up have brought about the liberation of the people's ideological ideology, and the trend of going abroad is beginning to surge. However, now, going abroad is not easy. Even if an individual gets a passport, his visa is very difficult. No matter where he goes, he must first detour through Hong Kong, so the quota for going to Hong Kong is even more tight. There are more people applying and fewer allocated. Some people wait for a year, and may not be able to wait at that time.
If you just do it yourself, the daylily will be cold after the procedures are completed.
It must be passed as soon as possible.
Anna thought about it all night but couldn't help but feel this strong thought. The next day she told her mother about her wanting to go to Hong Kong.
My mother was not at all admiring foreigners and had no interest in going to Hong Kong. Seeing that she really wanted to go, she asked her to call her to discuss with her father.
Anna ran to the telephone office and lined up for half an hour. It was her turn to call her father a long distance call and said that she wanted to go to Hong Kong to ask him to complete the procedures as soon as possible.
An Guoqiang on the other end of the phone was surprised at first. I wonder why his daughter, who had just arrived at home, suddenly wanted to go to Hong Kong to play.
After deciding Anna was her daughter from her heart, she felt sorry for her experience. An Guoqiang felt that she wanted to protect and favor her daughter, who was not a few years younger than her wife. Now she just wanted to go to Hong Kong to play, which was not very difficult. Moreover, it was the first time she asked her to ask her after she got home. An Guoqiang didn't even hesitate, so she agreed immediately, saying that she would find a way to help her get the procedures out as soon as possible, let her go to Hong Kong for a walk, and let her wait for her news.
Anna went home. A few days later, her father called her mother's school and asked Anna to send the materials she needed to the place where she applied for her passport, saying that she had already contacted the people inside and promised to speed up.
Half a month later, on the last working day of the holiday before the end of the year, Anna got her passport. Her father contacted her and said that after the New Year, a semi-official inspection team from Beijing was invited to Hong Kong for a half-month inspection activity. She could go back with the inspection team and apply for the visa internally, which was very convenient.
Things went very smoothly.
This year, my dad has not been home. Anna, mom and grandma Xiaoguang spent the first Spring Festival to reunite with her family after coming here.
The purpose of Anna's trip to Hong Kong is to make money, so she naturally has to bring her principal. Now the customs limit is that it can only take out at most 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to more than 600 yuan. Anna found an old gold shop and asked the old goldsmith inside to write a thick rich gold necklace of nearly 60 grams for herself. According to the price of gold of 48 yuan per gram, the value is about 3,000 yuan.
There has always been a custom in the local area that the man and the woman made gold for the woman after marriage. Those who have money would get the right ring, and those who have no money would have to get the right gold lilac. The old goldsmith had been making gold for half a lifetime, but it was the first time that she met such a rich customer. Anna almost was scared at that time. After Anna gave him a deposit, the old goldsmith believed that he had knocked out the necklace according to Anna's request.
After the Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, Anna, her mother and grandma Xiaoguang said goodbye. Under the envious gaze of her neighbors, she rushed to Shanghai Airport, met with the people from the inspection team, put her necklace in her sweater, passed the customs smoothly, boarded the plane and went to Hong Kong via the Shanghai-Hong Kong route.
...
In the early 1980s, Hong Kong's economy began to recover and reached its peak, with a prosperous scene everywhere. Anna felt like she suddenly got into an old Hong Kong movie, a little dreamy.
In addition to the serious business, the members of the inspection team basically bought two large and small items with relatives and friends' indicators. Two large color TV refrigerators, two small watches, and four speaker recorders. They are all imported goods and cannot be bought in China. After they come out, they can save a lot of tax-free quotas. After they arrive, they are all busy with their own affairs, and no one pays attention to what Anna is doing.
