Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Chapter 1 Arrive at the foggy city of 1977 and get on the plane to Xiangjiang

Bao Zixuan is in a good mood these days. He has not been back home since he came to London from Xiangjiang to study two years ago; he is finally going home. As one of the few students in Hong Kong who went directly from middle school to Oxford University and MIT as an exchange student, he was awarded degrees from both schools after graduation. This is a student who would be taken seriously in any country in the world; it can be said to be extremely rare.

I haven't seen my mother since I left Hong Kong at the age of 17. It was not easy for my mother to raise me by herself. In order to save travel expenses and make a little more money during holidays to reduce the pressure on my mother. It can be said that Bao Zixuan has worked in many jobs in the past two years. He has been a tour guide, a translator, and even a waiter in a Chinese restaurant at the beginning.

Xiangjiang, a port city that was concessioned by the British during the Qing Dynasty, will completely return to the embrace of China in 20 years. But now in many cases things are still done according to the British style, so many outstanding students in Hong Kong choose British universities as their first choice for studying abroad. It was against this background that Bao Zixuan was forced by his single mother to come here to study.

There are only 45 days in this summer vacation. By the beginning of September, Bao Zixuan will go to MIT to report. He will then complete the remaining two years of his studies at MIT, thinking that he will be able to see his mother soon. . Bao Zixuan boarded the plane with the gifts he had prepared long ago.

There were other students from Xiangjiang on the same flight as him. Since he is not usually in the same circle, he is quickly ignored. Although Bao Zixuan is not very handsome, his height of 178 cm, coupled with a slightly melancholic temperament and the bonus of being from a prestigious school can still attract the favor of some girls.

But this Xiangjiang boy, who spends his days in classes and labs, working and on the way to work, doesn't give any girls a chance to get close to him. In addition, his performance in Oxford, where geniuses are gathered, is only average. Over time, the female students in Oxford stopped paying attention to him, and he was soon forgotten in a corner.

This also happened to allow Bao Zixuan to spend more time on work and study. He only attended two Xiangjiang student gatherings in London, so in the eyes of his fellow students in Xiangjiang, he was an alternative. Other students are either majoring in finance or architecture; Xiangjiang is very easy to enter the mainstream courses of the elite, but he is the only one who has chosen the major of aviation power and machinery manufacturing; a standard science and engineering man.

Watching two or three people chatting on the plane, Bao Zixuan was reading the research direction of CNC machine tools from a window seat, a book that only a few people in Oxford could understand. I saw a middle-aged man next to the book he was reading, and he read with interest for a while. Then he started chatting with his daughter who was sitting next to him.

The middle-aged man is about 45 years old, and he seems to have the aura of a superior; especially his eyes give people a very sharp feeling. In fact, what Bao Zixuan didn't know was that the middle-aged man was named Zhang Yuliang. He was the second generation of a very famous and wealthy family in Xiangjiang. His family had a deep influence in Xiangjiang. It's just that the Zhang family has been developing in a low-key manner and has not attracted as much attention as other emerging families. Although Zhang Yuliang is the fourth eldest child, everyone with real discernment knows that with his ability, he will definitely squeeze out his three brothers and become the new head of the Zhang family. This time I came to the UK for a business trip and knew that my daughter was going back to Hong Kong from London. In order to spend more time with my daughter, I asked my subordinates to leave first after finishing work. After waiting for two days, I got on the plane back to Hong Kong with my daughter; but because I was in a hurry when booking the flight, I could only take the economy class.

Zhang Yuliang's daughter is named Zhang Youran. She is 20 years old and is a junior student majoring in accounting at the Department of Finance at Cardiff University. In fact, Zhang Youran looks pretty good, the kind of girl who can score 80 points. It's just that I can't let go in front of Zhang Yuliang. It's no wonder that the Zhang family in Xiangjiang has a strict family tradition, and Zhang Youran was born to Zhang Yuliang's third wife. In the 1950s and 1960s, Xiangjiang still followed the ancient law that allowed multiple wives. It was only abolished in the past two years.

Seeing that Zhang Youran was a little reserved, Zhang Yuliang looked at the young man sitting next to him after the plane flew smoothly. The young man who had read nothing but books since he got on the plane seemed to have some curiosity in his heart that only books could bring him happiness.

Zhang Yuliang took the initiative to find topics in order to make his daughter less reserved and more relaxed in front of him. He turned to his daughter's ear and asked softly: "Of course, do you know the boy next to you?"

Zhang Youran: "He is not from our school, he should be from London, but I have never seen him at the Xiangjiang student gathering. But I have heard some rumors about him based on the title of the book."

Zhang Yuliang: "Is he famous?"

Zhang Youran: "It's not famous. He is just one of the few Xiangjiang students who choose science and engineering, and they should be studying in Oxford. I basically don't attend gatherings of Xiangjiang students, so everyone has only heard of such a person."

Zhang Yuliang: "What book is he reading?"

Zhang Youran: "It seems to be about machine tools."

At this time, Zhang Yuliang couldn't help being curious and asked Bao Zixuan: "I, Zhang Yuliang, don't know what book my little brother is reading. I don't understand it and I haven't seen it. I'm curious. I just want to ask."

When Bao Zixuan saw someone talking to him, he put down the book in his hand and said, "Hello Zhang Sheng, it turns out you are from Xiangjiang too! This book is about the research direction of CNC machine tools, mainly introducing CNC machine tools. You have never seen it before Not surprising, this is our school’s internal teaching material.”

Zhang Yuliang: "I wonder what your little brother's surname is and which university he studies at! After he finished speaking, he pointed to the side and said, this is my daughter studying at Cardiff University. Zhang Youran nodded politely."

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be so polite. My name is Bao Zixuan and I study at Oxford University. You can just call me Xiao Bao."

Zhang Yuliang: "Then I'll take off my clothes and call you Xiaobao. What major is Xiaobao studying? How old are you this year?"

Bao Zixuan: "I am majoring in aviation power and mechanical manufacturing, and I am entering my third year of school."

Zhang Yuliang: "My daughter has started her senior year in college. You can get to know her. She has some kind of caregiver in the UK."

Bao Zixuan: "I may be disappointed with Mr. Zhang. I will go to the United States when school starts. I will complete the next two years of my studies there."

Zhang Yuliang said with a smile: "Little brother, he is still a top student!" However, he didn't take it seriously to this young man who didn't speak very tactfully. While they were chatting, they brought him dinner on the plane. Everyone started to eat dinner!

In this era, planes have to refuel in Singapore before flying to Xiangjiang, so it will take 20 hours to actually arrive in Xiangjiang. Fortunately, everyone can go to Singapore and take a rest.

In the morning of the next day, the plane was about to arrive in Xiangjiang in two hours. Zhang Youran was about to take out the things on his suitcase, but did not pay attention to the dense clouds outside. Zhang Yuliang went to the bathroom again, so a girl did not hold on to the suitcase when the plane shook. But when she found out, it was too late, and the suitcase hit Bao Zixuan, who was sleeping inside, on the head.

Hearing only the cry of "ah", the stewardess immediately walked over to the place where the sound came from. The person who screamed was none other than Zhang Youran, who was holding the suitcase unsteadily. Bao Zixuan, who was sleeping soundly inside, had his face covered in blood and passed out. Seeing this situation, the flight attendants immediately began to take first aid measures for Bao Zixuan.

When Zhang Yuliang returned to his seat, he immediately understood something after seeing this scene, and hugged his daughter to comfort her. While comforting, he said: Leave it to dad, you don’t have to worry.

Under the professional treatment of the stewardess, Bao Zixuan finally woke up an hour later. But now Bao Zixuan is no longer exactly the young man from Xiangjiang he was when he first got on the plane. In his soul also lives an outstanding Chinese aircraft engine engineer from 50 years later; it can be said that Bao Zixuan of Rolls-Royce Company was reborn 50 years ago with the same name and surname as him, and he was still on the same plane from London to Xiangjiang. , but the advantage is that it perfectly preserves the memory of this life.

But Bao Zixuan, who had just woken up, was still a little hazy. Seeing an aircraft like the DC-8 that had been eliminated for many years, he still couldn't believe that this was real. After the bandaging was completed, the flight attendant asked a few simple questions and then returned to her seat. During this process, the stewardess said that insurance companies and airline managers would contact him about follow-up compensation issues.

Bao Zixuan, who had just returned to his seat, had not yet settled down. Zhang Yuliang apologized on behalf of his daughter and said that Daxiangjiang would definitely give him a satisfactory answer; at the same time, the plane began to prepare for landing.
