Chapter 1 Reborn as a decorator
In the early 1980s, just a few years have passed since the collapse of the Black Gold Empire, and Xiangjiang officially embarked on the road to economic takeoff.
In order to alleviate the population crowding problem in Hong Kong and Kowloon, various new cities, roads and subways have begun to develop in a rush.
The number of houses built by the ten-year housing project that had just ended did not meet its target, so the Hong Kong government extended the plan for five years and introduced a long-term housing strategy in the same year.
The housing housing plan has just been issued a few years ago, and many private developers have participated in the plan, which has solved the housing problem of millions of people.
But in this small place with a population of 5 million, the lack of housing will be a social problem that will plague the Hong Kong government in the future.
The real estate industry will also continue to make profits from this difficult-to-solve social problem. If we follow the history of previous lives, there will be a man surnamed Li who will become the richest man in Xiangjiang by relying on real estate, and even the richest man in real estate in the world.
Even other rich people and consortiums who have entered the real estate industry will make a lot of money. By then, eight out of the ten rich people in the Xiangjiang River will be engaged in real estate.
While the real estate industry is developing rapidly, the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang is also developing rapidly.
TVB's Golden Song Award has just been launched. No one would have thought that the gold award of this award will be regarded as the highest honor for a single song in the future. The Queen of Heaven is also the most popular male and female singer selected by this award.
The Xiangjiang Film Awards are also in its infancy, and their influence will expand to the entire Asia-Pacific region in the future.
But those familiar movies, songs and film and television works in previous lives have disappeared.
......
In a clear water room, a shirtless young man holding an electric drill was dazed.
"I can't even do it if you push your lungs?"
"You're eating shit?"
A swear word in Cantonese cursed Chen Yaodong who was in a daze and came back to his senses.
He turned around and saw a big, rough man shouting at a young man who looked like an apprentice with a paint brush.
Although he had been traveling through time for several days, he still felt a trace of inreality.
Not long ago, he was just an ordinary person who liked to watch Hong Kong movies. Unexpectedly, when he woke up, he traveled to Xiangjiang in the 1980s. What made him even more helpless was that he did not seem to travel with golden fingers like other time travelers.
But he was not too pessimistic. After all, he had memories of future generations, so it would not be too big a problem to eat and drink in Xiangjiang.
In the 1980s, if you want to make a lot of money in Xiangjiang, it was nothing more than real estate and entertainment circles, especially the ready-to-go real estate industry. As long as you catch this express train, it would not be a problem on the Forbes rich list.
But now he is just daydreaming. He still needs a lot of capital to enter the real estate industry. It is not something that he can do now, but he is not something that he has nothing.
For him now, how to make his first pot of gold is a troublesome issue.
Although he is also working in the real estate industry now, he is just an old decoration company, and it is impossible to make a lot of money.
Fortunately, although his dead ghost Lao Dou is not capable, he is lucky and has a good friend who has developed well in Xiangjiang.
This friend Lin Guodong came to Xiangjiang a few years earlier than them. He was doing decoration with a boss in the early days. After that, the boss's company grew bigger and bigger, and eventually became a well-known construction company in Xiangjiang.
Lin Guodong also obtained some shares of the company due to his seniority and good abilities, and became a small shareholder of the company.
Just over two months ago, his old bean helped him get on the friend's line before Suo K died, allowing him to successfully contract the ten-story woodworking decoration project, otherwise he wouldn't know how to live.
Although this small project cannot make him make a lot of money, it is still OK for him to make this small contractor tens of thousands of dollars.
"Brother Dadong, you have been staring at that paint for a long time."
"Will they ask us to finish painting them before starting work again? It's already a waste of our day."
A shirtless strong man asked with a wooden board. They basically like to be shirtless, after all, the weather is so hot, there is no fan, air conditioner, and clothes are so hot that it will be so hot.
This strong man named Huang Shaoze is his brother from his hometown, and there are four other young men who are about the same age who are also smuggled from a poor countryside in Guangdong Province.
The project he contracted was done by him and his trusted brothers. After all, if he contracted the project, he could only make money by doing it quickly, otherwise if he did it slowly, he would lose money.
He knew very well that if someone asked outsiders to do things, someone would definitely steal the chicken. Only by asking these trustworthy brothers to do it together can they complete the work and deliver the goods quickly and earn more.
"No, I just didn't sleep well last night."
"How many left are you, Aze?"
“The delivery will be made in a week.”
Chen Yaodong looked at him and asked.
"When the paint on the wall is dry, I will pack the remaining cabinets in the past two days, and leave them for another day to pick up and finish them."
Huang Shaoze thought about it and replied.
Since decorating a building requires many different types of masters, such as paint, cement, electrician, etc., and installing a cabinet is basically the final step, they often need to wait for other masters to do things.
"Not bad, it's really fast enough."
"There are so many Aze, you helpers, otherwise you won't be able to deliver the goods for three months."
Chen Yaodong patted his brother on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Brother Dadong, you're laughing. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't even have to start a job."
"We thank you for that."
Huang Shaoze quickly shook his head and said, "They were unfamiliar with the land when they came to Xiangjiang, and they wanted to move bricks at the construction site and couldn't even bring them in."
If it weren't for Brother Dadong, they wouldn't know how to survive in Xiangjiang now.
"You don't have to worry about it as brothers."
"I'll go to the toilet to put some water, and wait until I come back to have dinner."
After Chen Yaodong smiled and said, he walked towards the toilet that had not been renovated.
Hulalala...
The water flowed from the faucet continuously, and Chen Yaodong washed his face and looked at himself in the mirror.
This appearance is not much different from his previous life. His facial features, which are as clear as Daniel Wu, are still handsome.
But what is different from his previous life is that his figure is much stronger. In his previous life, an ordinary person who doesn’t like exercise is relatively thin, but now he has been decorating for several years and is still very strong.
Although carpenters sound quite relaxed, there are quite a few places that require brute force. Any cabinet is dozens of kilograms, and you can't do this without some strength.
After he walked out of the toilet, he found that his five brothers had already sat down for him to start a meal.
Like him, all these five brothers were not wearing tops. The five strong and big guys always felt oppressive.
"Brother Dadong."
These five brothers said respectfully.
Chen Yaodong is already their eldest brother in the countryside. Now when he comes to Xiangjiang, they can make a living, so they still respect Dadong Brother very much.
"Eat for dinner."
Chen Yaodong picked up a lunch box and sat on a wooden board on the ground to prepare for dinner.
There is nothing to pay attention to when eating at a construction site, just find a place to eat.
"The roasted lunch box is like a dry firewood, and you dare to ask for five of us."
"It's like we are stupid."
Huang Shaoze said cursingly while cooking rice.
"Hold on for a few days, and after delivery, I will get the money and improve your food."
Chen Yaodong shook his head and said with a smile.
"The hard days are finally over."
Huang Shaoze said with some emotion that this month of work has been rushing for a month.
Just as they were having a meal and chatting, three people suddenly walked up to them.
A yellow-haired man in the lead looked at them and asked, "Who are you with?"
