Chapter 247: Going to Hong Kong

Jiang Hui and Bai Xue both flew directly from the imperial capital to the port for the first time, and considering that they had to go through exit procedures, Jiang Hui drove and Bai Xue early in the morning. I drove to the airport by myself, and when the car was left in the airport parking lot for a few days, I just drove back when I came back.

In terms of the hotel, the penguin has been arranged in a unified manner, it is a five-star hotel in Central, and Manager Gao also asked Jiang Hui how many rooms he needed.

After the return of Hong Kong and Hong Kong, the procedures of the mainland in the past have become simpler and simpler. After Jiang Hui and Bai Xue arrived at the international departure hall of Imperial Capital Airport, they completed the boarding pass and entry and exit procedures one by one according to the signs, and started boarding without waiting too long.

It takes almost three hours for the imperial capital to fly to the port, so Jiang Hui booked a first-class cabin, and this is Jiang Hui's first time in a first-class cabin. In addition to the more detailed service of the flight attendants, the biggest difference between first class and economy class is that the seat space is much more spacious. There are three seats in economy class and two seats in first class, and the space for three rows of seats in economy class is two rows in first class, so the ride comfort will be much better.

"It seems that the flight attendants on international flights are more beautiful," Jiang Hui said with a smile.

"Am I pretty?", Bai Xue said, pouting.

"Hehe, you have to leave a way for other flight attendants to live, if they are all on par with you, they will all be unemployed," Jiang Hui said.

"Hmph, this girl allows you to have a good time, but you don't have to hand over a note or something," Bai Xue said.

……

The plane basically took off on time, and after it was in the air, the flight attendants began to come out and distribute drinks and breakfast to everyone.

"I heard my dad say that when I was flying in the 80s, there was free Moutai to drink, but now there is only tea and drinks left," Bai Xue said.

Bai Xue said that Jiang Hui had really heard of it in his previous life, and at first he thought it was a joke, so he went to the Internet to check and confirm it.

According to experts, as early as 1975, passengers who took international flights of the Celestial Empire Civil Aviation gave one bottle of Moutai liquor for free. It was later changed to a free supply, which was not canceled until the end of the 80s of the 20th century.

But thinking about it, Jiang Hui didn't feel strange. In the early 80s of the last century, a bottle of special Moutai was about 10 yuan, which was nearly one-sixth of the monthly salary of ordinary cadres. However, because it was already a "sky-high price" to take a plane at that time, it was not surprising that Moutai was supplied in the first class and even the ordinary cabin of the plane at that time.

"Well, it is highly recommended that airlines resume this supply," Jiang Hui said with a smile.

"It's beautiful, now that the price of Moutai has gone up, and the price of air tickets has gone down, if the airline really goes to Moutai, it is estimated that it will have to die," Bai Xue said.

"In the future, we will build a private jet ourselves, and we can toss it as much as we want," Jiang Hui said.

"You just blow it", Bai Xue Bai glanced at Jiang Hui and said.

In 2004, even more than a decade later, private jets were still a relatively luxurious existence in the Celestial Empire. In fact, small private jets are not expensive, and they are not much worse than a Ferrari, but the air traffic control of the Celestial Empire is very strict, and if you want to fly, you need to report in advance, which is very troublesome, so until more than ten years later, the private jet market in the Celestial Empire is not very large. But those rich bigwigs are slowly matching themselves.

At noon, the plane slowly landed at the Hong Kong Airport, and as soon as he entered the Cantonese-speaking area, Jiang Hui felt that he still spoke less, and the task of speaking was handed over to Bai Xue, who knew Cantonese.

In his previous life, Jiang Hui had also been to Hong Kong and Hong Kong many times, and the cities in the Pearl River Delta were relatively tolerant, although he may have spoken Cantonese to you at first, and he would generally switch to Mandarin immediately after knowing that you don't know Cantonese. But there is still a difference in Hong Kong and Hong Kong, those people have an inexplicable sense of superiority, and they are somewhat contemptuous of people who can't speak Cantonese and look at the mainland.

Jiang Hui didn't let the Penguin Company arrange personnel to pick him up, and after he and Bai Xue went through the immigration procedures and left the airport, the two of them took a taxi to the hotel.

Objectively speaking, in 2004, the urban construction of Hong Kong and Hong Kong was still much better than that of the mainland, and it was not until more than ten years later that it slowly fell behind.

In fact, the rise of Hong Kong and Hong Kong is closely related to the mainland.

Before the British occupied the port, the port was basically a desert island, with some fishermen living in Stanley, Tai Tam Tuk and Shek Pai Wan in the south of the island, and Ah Gong Rock and Shuijing Bay in the east. In other places such as Wong Nai Chung, Deng Di Chau, and Seven Sisters, there were some small village bays, and at that time, there were about 3,000 residents on the island. In the early years, the British saw the potential of Victoria Harbour to become an excellent port in East Asia, and it was not until the late 19th century that after the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, the territory was ceded and leased to the British in batches and made it a British colony.

Until World War II, the economy of Hong Kong and Hong Kong was not very famous in the world. After World War II, especially after the Korean War, the capitalist countries of the world were blockading the Celestial Empire, and the Celestial Empire at that time needed a window to the outside world, and Hong Kong took on such a role. In the following 50 years, the economy of Hong Kong and Hong Kong developed rapidly, and it quickly became one of the four Asian tigers.

After the reform and opening up, especially after the Celestial Empire joined the TO, a lot of trade no longer needs to pass through the port, and there are a large number of excellent ports along the long coastline of the mainland. The mainland's dependence on Hong Kong and Hong Kong has dropped sharply, and in addition to finance, real estate, tourism, and trade, Hong Kong and Hong Kong are not competitive in other industries, and it is inevitable that economic development will fall into a predicament.

Although the roads in the port are not wide, they are fortunately well planned and everyone obeys the traffic rules. So there was no traffic jam on the way back from the airport to the hotel.

"Let's go out and eat something delicious in a while, I know there is a good restaurant in Central, I went there last summer," Bai Xue said.

"Okay, when I get to Hong Kong, I'll hand over my half of the dumb to you," Jiang Hui said with a smile.

"Actually, most people can understand Chinese, but some of the older generation can't speak it," Bai Xue said.

This is also a fact, most young people can understand Chinese and can speak some, but it is not standard, but they are generally proud to speak Cantonese and English, Jiang Hui is speechless in contrast.

The location of the hotel is very good, and there are also Penguin staff in the lobby to help receive the VIPs attending the listing event. Jiang Hui went to sign in and said that he had come to Hong Kong, so he and Bai Xue checked in by themselves.
