The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 510 The Current Situation of the Lou Family

Although he didn't know the specific situation, He Yuzhu still knew the reason why the sedan chair was carried by everyone.

The Governor of Hong Kong praised his two nephews, and Ho Yu-chu took the opportunity to praise the business environment of Hong Kong Island.
Anyway, the main focus is on praising each other.

After walking down the gangway, he exchanged a few words with the Governor, and the two separated at the right time. He Yuzhu and Lou Zhenhua and Lou Xiaoe who came down later walked towards the two brothers of the Lou family.
"Grandpa, welcome back to Hong Kong. Aunt and uncle, welcome to Hong Kong Island."

Looking at the nephew who looked like two different people when they were in Peking, He Yuzhu joked with a smile,

"You two are much more confident now than when you were in Peking.
On the way to Hong Kong Island, I heard many Hong Kong business representatives praising you. The Governor just said that you are the dream lover of Hong Kong Island's socialites.

It seems that he has been through a lot over the years and has not let his grandparents down."

Hearing He Yuzhu teasing his two nephews, Lou Xiaoe, the aunt, was also very happy and said proudly,

"That's right. Don't you see whose nephew this is?"

However, Lou Zhenhua, upon hearing his daughter and son-in-law praising his grandsons, shook his head and glared at his two grandsons unhappily.
"Zhuzi Xiao'e, the two of you should stop praising them.

What Hong Kong socialite's dream lover? They should bring me a granddaughter-in-law. They are either busy with work or playing all day long. They are far inferior to He Yingke. I don't know when I can hold my great-grandson."

Seeing their uncle, whom they had always regarded as a role model, praising them, the two brothers Lou Jinhong were overjoyed and even ignored their grandfather's urging to get married.
Then he took the opportunity to ask about the brothers in Heying and changed the subject.
"Uncle, what are He Ying and Yue Jin doing now? Grandpa came back from Peking last time and said that we have a little cousin. Aunt is pregnant again. Is it a younger cousin or a younger cousin?"

"He Ying and Yue Jin are both in school now, Qing Qing is still in high school, and the fourth child is a boy named He Xiao, who is 13 years old.

Well, after taking the boat for a long time, let’s go home first.”

Lou Jinhong and the others had originally asked He Ying and the others to change the subject, but when they heard He Yuzhu say that he was tired, they naturally followed suit.

"Okay, uncle, let's go back first. We can talk about anything later.
Auntie, please give me the luggage."

When Lou Xiao'e handed the luggage to the Lou Jinhong brothers, she looked up at the densely packed high-rise buildings outside the port and shook her head.

“There are a lot of high-rise buildings on Hong Kong Island, but they are too densely packed together, making it hard to breathe.
It's not as comfortable as the Bund in Songhu."

Hearing Lou Xiao'e's comments on the high-rise buildings in Hong Kong Island, Lou Jinhong didn't know whether it was out of habit or not, but he also followed suit.

"Yes, auntie. When we came to Hong Kong Island, we passed by Songhu. I have a deep memory of the Bund. It looks much more reasonable than the high-rise buildings in Hong Kong Island.

But to be honest, we have land in Hong Kong Island.

It’s just that some people don’t allow too much land to be developed, lest it affects their ability to make money.”

Hearing Lou Jinhong's resentful words, He Yuzhu subconsciously glanced at Lou Zhenhua next to him, and then saw him waving his hand.
"Don't take it to heart, Zhuzi.
Due to backward technology in recent years, Daxia's industrial products have become increasingly difficult to sell in the market. The Lou family has begun to transform into the real estate industry in the past two years.
However, there are too many families in Hong Kong Island that are engaged in real estate, and there are many knowledgeable people, so the Lou family can hardly squeeze in. "

Lou Zhenhua said this because since the peak of the Hong Kong real estate industry in the spring of 1973, land prices, house prices and rents have been affected by the stock speculation frenzy and have continued to rise. The speculation of pre-sale properties has been extremely active, which has triggered a crisis.
The Hang Seng Index plummeted from 1775 points to 1974 points in 150, leaving only one tenth of its original value. Coupled with the 1974 oil crisis and the world economic recession, the Hong Kong property market fell into a 10-year low.

But as the saying goes [others are fearful, I am greedy; others are greedy, I am fearful].
When the property market was in crisis, the truly smart people in Hong Kong were frantically swallowing the blood and flesh of others. It was naturally not easy for the Lou family to enter the market at this time.

But He Yuzhu is also very self-aware. He doesn't think he can do anything about these matters of interest.
So, after Lou Zhenhua finished speaking, he just nodded and didn't say much.

Hong Kong Island is indeed very small. Soon, the group returned to the Lou family villa located halfway up the mountain of Victoria Peak. As soon as the car arrived at the door, the gate slowly opened, and then they saw a large group of male and female servants standing in an orderly manner at the door of the villa.

Even though he had never seen her in his previous lives, He Yuzhu still subconsciously knew that this was the famous Filipino maid in later generations.

After all, it had been many years since she had felt this way. Lou Xiao'e was a little uncomfortable with such a scene. She looked at He Yuzhu with some concern, and then looked at Lou Zhenhua and asked,
“Dad, is our family so luxurious now?
There are more servants than before liberation."

Hearing his daughter's words, Lou Zhenhua also realized that something was wrong. He was afraid that his son-in-law would not be able to see such a scene, so he quickly said,
"Zhu Zi, these are people from Luzon, not from the mainland."

Seeing Lou Zhenhua talking about this, He Yuzhu also understood what he was worried about and waved his hand indifferently.

"It's okay, Dad.
I can see that these people are not from Daxia. After 30 years of changes, the people of Daxia cannot be as submissive as these people. Deep down, they are very proud. "

Seeing He Yuzhu's expression of "It's none of my business if they are not my compatriots", Lou Zhenhua also laughed.
"Yes, yes, yes. The common people of Daxia can't do this now."

After getting off the car, Lou Xiao'e saw Lou Tan standing at the door of the villa and immediately ran over.

"mom!"

"Xiao'e!"

Seeing the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, He Yuzhu and Lou Zhenhua looked at each other, and then walked over together. As for the two younger ones, Lou Jinhong and the others, they naturally went to the trunk to get their luggage.

Arriving at the entrance of the villa, He Yuzhu smiled and greeted Lou Tan, who was holding Lou Xiaoe and looking at her again and again.

"Mom! How are you these days?"

Hearing her son-in-law's greeting, Lou Tan finally turned her eyes away from Lou Xiao'e.

"Okay, okay, Zhuzi, thank you for your hard work over the years."

"It's my duty, Mom. We are a family and we don't have different opinions."

"Yes, yes, we are a family, we shouldn't talk about these things. Well, let's go in first. Your brother and sister-in-law are busy at the company and will be back later."

"It's okay, mom. Xiao'e and I are here to visit our parents. Big brother and his business is more important."
