This is indeed the case. A Liang introduced a few classmates to Xie Yu who he had taught.
Although they are directly across the river, the xenophobia of Hong Kong people made them especially welcome Xie Yu's arrival.
There were even two male classmates who took the initiative to help Xie Yu move, led him to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, and buy some daily necessities.
A few young men and women came to a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant.
A formal introduction:
Zhao Qiang, a native of Xingang, studied computer stunts at the Academy of Science and Technology, Li Meng's suitor, and was treated by his instigator Xie Yu.
Su Yu, a native of Sichuan, studied musical theater at the Academy of Science and Art.
Liang Bin, a native of Hukou, and Xie Yu both attended drama schools, but he studied stage management and Xie Yu studied screenwriting.
Zhao Xinyi, native of Shanghai, majoring in violin at the Conservatory of Music
Li Meng, a native of Huhang, is an intern member of the Dance Academy and the City Contemporary Dance Company.
Zhu Huirong, a native of Guangdong Province, is an exchange student at the Academy of Performing Arts.
Needless to say, Xie Yu is a junior college transfer student from the Screenwriting Department of the School of Drama.
There were four men and three women. Those who could rent this apartment all had some money, and they were not short of a meal. In fact, there were other mainland students. Although they also called, they were busy and did not come.
Suddenly, Mandarin with different accents and all kinds of complaints appeared in this tea restaurant. Fortunately, the other guests just regarded Xie Yu and the others as tourists and didn't say much.
Later, the boss came over to remind them, and everyone lowered their voices, but they were not too happy. After Xie Yu paid the bill.
I bought some beer at a convenience store and drank while walking.
Some things are indeed much better if you say them.
Finally, Su Yu, who is from Sichuan, suggested that he go to a nearby mahjong parlor to play a few games. Unexpectedly, the three girls were more enthusiastic than the boys.
Although Xie Yu was unhappy, he thought that these people would be neighbors in the next few months and it was best not to have a tense relationship, so he reluctantly agreed.
However, I still asked them why they like playing mahjong on the grounds that they don’t know how to play. After all, no matter how young they are, it is still gambling and is not a good thing.
Immediately laughed at, innocently.
Most people in Hong Kong have a get-rich-quick mentality.
This is caused by historical reasons, and gambling is an extremely fast method.
Xie Yu understood this in the fat man's dream. Thinking of the current development pattern and housing prices in Hong Kong City, perhaps the eagerness to get rich is even more serious now.
No wonder many of these roadside shops sell things related to gambling.
This is rare in the mainland. As for the number of mahjong parlors, it can be compared with Sichuan.
These classmates may have picked up on this problem because they have been in Hong Kong City for a long time.
Looking at Su Yu who greeted his boss skillfully and other enthusiastic classmates, Xie Yu just felt out of place.
Finally, Xie Yu asked the boss to make him a pot of tea, and while watching them play mahjong, he read the newspaper he got from the boss.
Most people in the mahjong parlor play the Hong Kong style. Of course, there are also table-style 16-card mahjong and Cantonese-style mahjong.
When I got to Su Yu's table, I naturally played in the Sichuan-Sichuan style. In short, there are various ways to play, and people like it.
After observing for a while, I found that most people are pretty good at it. Although they are not beginners, they still have some basic skills.
Su Yu, on the other hand, is worthy of being from Sichuan. He is very proficient and experienced in his techniques. He has played many rounds correctly and is already at an entry-level level.
He has the potential to enter the root-building realm, but he doesn't know the secrets of gambling, so he mostly relies on feeling and experience.
It's not wrong to fight like this. I remember Uncle Ying said that gambling skills are actually the speed and feeling of competition.
The training of ears, eyesight, and hand strength only serves this purpose.
"Oh, how can you think of this? This thing is really addictive. It's so abominable."
Hurry up and focus on the newspapers.
Randomly turn to the international news column:
News that the Central Bank of Cyprus will sell off excess gold reserves to raise funds and repay losses from emergency liquidity assistance.
Just as he turned it over, Xie Yu thought of something and turned it back again.
"gold?"
Xie Yu seemed to remember something and quickly took out the newly bought fruit phone.
Although the Internet speed is not good, it is still possible to browse some web pages.
I quickly found news about the Central Bank of Cyprus selling gold. If Xie Yu remembered correctly, this was a rumor.
After finding out about the Greek debt default, the memory of the aunt incident flashed in Xie Yu's mind, and his face quickly became excited.
"What a chance!"
“This gold futures are going to be bullish!”
This is a port city, an international financial city, and buying and selling futures is much more convenient than in the mainland.
I just happen to have the capital for a small goal, what an opportunity!
Then, Xie Yu immediately started searching on the Internet.
At this time, Zhao Qiang, who was preparing to finish the game, came over to get water.
I accidentally saw Xie Yu searching for information about the Hong Kong stock market and futures markets.
With a thought in his heart, he said: "Sorry to interrupt, classmate Xie, are you ready to play stocks?"
After speaking, he pointed to the web page Xie Yu searched for.
But there was nothing embarrassing about the expression on his face.
Liang Bin, who was next to him, heard this and curled his lips and said: "It would be abnormal to not open an account to trade stocks in Hong Kong City, a free financial city!"
"It's just that the market is not very good now, and my stockbroker has recommended stocks to me again. Although I like her quite a lot, I also know that she needs transaction fees."
"However, the stocks in my hand are all locked up. As long as I don't sell, there is still a chance. If I sell..."
Well, most retail investors are like this, and others also join in to complain.
Zhao Qiang still couldn't help but said: "Classmate Xie, I have a relative who works in a well-known brokerage company. You must have this idea."
"If possible, open the account in my relative's name, and the transaction fee will be as low as possible for you, please."
Zhu Huirong interjected: "It's really not easy for Sister Kaixin. She is a single mother and she hasn't completed the deposit receipt for this month!"
"Thank you, classmate. If you can help, please help!"
Xie Yu: "Single mother, what about Sister Kaixin?"
Zhao Qiang said awkwardly: "She is my cousin-in-law. Speaking of which, she also came from the mainland. My brother-in-law died unexpectedly the year before last. Her mother-in-law said she was a naughty woman and kicked her out of the house. It was not easy for her."
"Little Jiahui is a bloodline of my Zhao family after all. For the sake of the child, we relatives have helped her, but my cousin has a stronger personality..."
Xie Yu: "Understood, we are a family. If it suits me, there will be no problem here."
Zhao Qiang: "That's great. I'll take you to my cousin's company tomorrow. Don't worry, Hong Kong City is very fast and won't take you too much time."
Xie Yu nodded and said: "Okay, let's do this first!"
Hearing this, Zhao Qiang immediately became polite and said: "Thank you then. By the way, you really don't want to play? My table just left, and there was a three-and-a-half."
Xie Yu shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't really like playing this."
At this time, Zhao Xinyi, who was drawing the cards, continued: "Three are missing and one is missing. God cannot allow it. Thank you, classmate, you should try things in life. How would you know you don't like it if you don't try! Touch, it's my turn to draw the cards... .”
Li Mengye, who had not spoken for a long time, said: "We all came together, you can't be so unsociable, right?"
Xie Yu could only bite the bullet and said: "Okay, I'll just play for a while, don't make me laugh."
"I just said it in advance. I know that although the Hong Kong-style game also has thirteen cards, it pursues speed and saves money, and prefers big cards and many times."
Zhao Qiang: "What do you mean?"
Xie Yu: "Can you lower the base score and set a maximum number?"
Zhao Qiang: "This is the mahjong parlor with the lowest multiplier. The bottom score is two yuan, which is already the lowest."
"It's easy to say the maximum number of episodes. What's the maximum number you want?"
Xie Yu: "Let's beat the bottom score by one piece. The upper limit of the number is eight times. How about it!"
Zhao Qiang frowned and said: "That's too low. I don't care. The other two card partners probably don't agree!"
Xie Yu: "Forget it, I'm not very interested in playing this anyway."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Qiang quickly agreed and at the same time went to persuade the two cards to make a match.
The two card partners were both middle-aged. One of them, a "very smart" middle-aged uncle, seemed to be familiar with Zhao Qiang, so he glanced at Xie Yu and said:
"I'm going to give Xiaoqiang some face today. For the sake of you being a newcomer, I allow you to use the rules you mentioned, but this rule only applies to you."
"We won't participate, okay?"
Xie Yu: "Okay!"
Hearing this, the other card partner had nothing to say.
In fact, Xie Yu was doing it for their own good. Although these two card partners played mahjong for a long time, their skills were only able to consciously look at the cards on the table and make simple inferences.
This level is much lower than that of Su Yu. Of course, it would be a different story if his skills become smoother.
After all, luck is more important than skill at the gambling table.
When Xiaobai's luck comes, even the God of Gamblers has to avoid the edge. But in this case, it is safer to buy the Mark Six Lottery.
But when Xie Yu sat at the table, the other three people immediately felt some strange feelings in their hearts.
But he didn’t think much about it, let’s start the fight!
After ten games, Xie Yu was very low-key and even got a few hits. Unfortunately, Xie Yu's "newcomer" rule was that the maximum compensation was only eight yuan and a few braised eggs.
Ten games have passed, and the feeling of changing hands has returned.
At the same time, I figured out some of the card patterns of the other three players, and combined with the cards played by other players, I was able to vaguely detect the trend of the brand mountain.
Don't use some thousand tricks, just rely on feeling and technology.
Xie Yu said "touch" for the first time.
Stagger the order of the cards and get the cards you need smoothly.
"and."
Shouhu, but it is also the beginning.
Next, although Hu's numbers are not large, Hu's cards are very fast and he draws more.
That "Mediterranean" middle-aged man, in one sentence.
"Newbies are so lucky."
Let Xie Yu react and smile bitterly.
Betting on this stuff is really addicting!
Then, no longer look at other people's cards, no inferences, just play your own cards.
Although I still win more and lose less, at least it looks normal on the surface.
Of course, at the end of the card game, seeing that Xie Yu's luggage cost a few cents, he was encouraged to buy him a late-night drink.
It seems that the winnings were less than a hundred yuan, but the treat cost another two thousand yuan, and the loss was a small sum. Although the amount was not large, it seemed that the gain was not worth the loss.
However, it can be considered a gain to shorten the distance between each other.
As the relationship got closer, the new friend naturally began to tell Xie Yu some common sense about avoiding pitfalls when studying at the Academy of Performing Arts.
It still feels like a profit.
But before breaking up, Su Yu said mysteriously: "Xie, classmate, you can't hide it from others, but you can't hide it from me. I know you are a master!"
Xie Yu pretended to be ignorant and said, "Really? I don't even know, how do you know?"
Su Yu smiled mysteriously and said nothing. In fact, it was just because he had played too many mahjong games and gave him intuition.
It was intuitive, but he had no evidence, so he just asked a tentative question and stopped there.
I really don't like the late-night life in a big city like Hong Kong City. It was already past midnight when I got home, so after sending the reporting information to Zhang Zhixi and Lu Ying, I simply washed up and went to bed.
Early in the morning, Xie Yu was disturbed again by a knock on the door.
Alas, why say again!
During morning tea, Xie Yu couldn't help but ask Zhao Qiang why he went back so late yesterday, and he must have slept late as well.
Why did he wake up so early and be so energetic?
Zhao Qiang didn't expect Xie Yu to ask this question. He really hadn't thought about it.
After thinking about it, I said that the life pace of Hong Kong people is relatively fast, and they need to be efficient and mobile in doing things.
Coupled with the rich nightlife, most citizens have developed the habit of drinking water for two or three hours a day to maintain a full day's experience.
Hey, this reminds Xie Yu of the big city disease in later commentaries.
It's "involution" again!
For this, Xie Yu couldn't do it. It was the most difficult working life in memory.
Xie Yu has to keep himself in the habit of at least six or seven hours a day, with lunch breaks from time to time, in order to maintain his energy for the day.
Of course, if you have enough money, it's not impossible to work overtime for a short period of time, but it won't last long, and it's not a habit.
Speaking of people in this port city, it is indeed not easy now, plus those "elites", forget it, let's not talk about it, it is easy to be harmonized.
After morning tea, Zhao Qiang called a taxi and asked the driver to go to Financial Street.
Xie Yu looked at the many commercial buildings outside the taxi window, as well as the signs of various well-known financial institutions of banks, insurances, securities firms, and trusts not far away, and said: "This place is good, your cousin-in-law should be a gold collar worker!"
Zhao Qiang: "That's half of it!"
Xie Yu: "Half, what do you mean?"
Zhao Qiang suddenly said to the gray-haired taxi driver: "Driver, this is it. Find a place to stop the car!"
"Okay, sir!"
The veteran driver's driving skills are good, but the cost in this port city is very high, but I didn't expect that the taxi fare is even higher.
If he really wants to stay in this port city for a while, Xie Yu must consider getting a driver's license in the port city and renting a car.
There is no need to buy it. Xie Yu knows that he will not stay here for a long time.
Moreover, right-hand drive vehicles cannot be driven back to the mainland because traffic regulations do not allow it!
After the two got off the car, Zhao Qiang pointed to a cafe and said, "Let's wait for her in this cafe. My cousin is in a meeting now."
"In a moment, she will bring the information. If you think it is suitable, open an account with her. Don't worry, I won't lie to you. The company my cousin works for is also one of the top ten international financial securities companies in Hong Kong City's financial circle."
"It's convenient, safe, and very secure. In addition to my reputation, the handling fee can also be negotiated to the lowest."
