373 A paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor

Li Wenxiu naturally didn't know that Yang Xin was already so shy behind her back that she covered her head and shrunk into a koala.

After a long while, a crack was opened, and a pair of beautiful eyes stared at the door of the room, for fear that Li Wenxiu would break in again, and he couldn't help but do bad things.

The red tide on his face has not yet receded, and his white and red complexion exudes a charm that is extremely tempting, it is estimated that if Li Wenxiu sees it at this time, it is estimated that he will not be able to hold it and will pounce on it.

When Cao Jun came over, it was already three poles of the sun outside, Yang Xin finished washing, and the group immediately set off to the pass of Luohu Port to wait for the entry inspection.

After getting the pass, the car immediately drove into the city of Hong Kong Island along the passage at the gate, and the car was still the Volkswagen Santana that Li Wenxiu gave to Cao Jun, which was quite an old model, but it was well maintained.

Wang Youlai drove, Cao Jun sat in the passenger seat, Li Wenxiu and Yang Xin sat in the back seat, four people in a car, and the space was quite spacious.

Looking around the car window, Li Wenxiu was not the first time he had come to Hong Kong, so he was naturally not completely unfamiliar, but when the past reappeared, there were always some feelings that surfaced in his mind from time to time.

Coming to the same place again, although it has long been a matter of fact, it is still somewhat embarrassing.

As one of the four Asian tigers, Hong Kong is clearly not as prosperous as the mainland in the 21st century.

Not only Li Wenxiu, but Yang Xin also stared at the street scene outside the window, looking like a curious baby.

Seeing the men and women with bare arms and thighs all over the street, there was also a novelty in his eyes, but Li Wenxiu didn't think so, and even had some illusions of traveling through time and space and returning to twenty years later.

"I have to say that this is still much more developed than the mainland, no wonder people say that Hong Kong is better, I think we may not be able to compare with it in another ten or twenty years. ”

Cao Jun sighed, probably frightened by the prosperity of Hong Kong.

In fact, Li Wenxiu knows this kind of mood best, after all, when he first came to Hong Kong, he probably had this kind of experience in his heart.

However, after experiencing the era of great changes in the 21st century, and witnessing the miraculous development speed and achievements of the hinterland, I once again look at all this from the perspective of a person who has come over, and I feel a little dismissive in my heart.

"Junzi, what you say is a bit biased, or let's make a bet, it will definitely not take 20 years, at most ten years, there will be more cities in the country than here, and there will be more than one. ”

In fact, Li Wenxiu's remark is not entirely true.

As one of the four Asian tigers, Hong Kong flourished in the 80s and 90s of the last century, and in the early 80s, Hong Kong's economic aggregate alone was more than that of the top 10 cities in the mainland combined.

In the late '80s, the gap widened even wider, and at this time, I am afraid not many people would think that Hong Kong would be surpassed by inland cities.

However, this is not the case, because in less than a decade, with the implementation of all-round reform and opening up in the interior with unprecedented boldness, the economy of the entire interior has grown at an unimaginable speed.

Such a growth rate is extremely rare even in the history of world development, especially after the emergence of the financial turmoil in the new century, which led to the stagnation of the entire Southeast Asian economy, and until 2003, Hong Kong did not fully recover from it.

Less than a decade later, in 2010, Shanghai, the largest city in Chinese mainland, surpassed Hong Kong for the first time in terms of GDP, followed a year later in 2011 by the capital again surpassing the once glamorous Asian Tigers.

I am afraid that even the people of Hong Kong themselves would not have imagined that the inland cities that they once looked down on would surpass them in such a short period of time.

Just like the current Cao Jun.

"Boss, I'm really fighting you on this bet. ”

Wang Youlai shrugged his nose on the side and said jokingly: "Junzi, it's not that my brother doesn't support you, I have never won a bet with the boss, I think you better not toss." ”

The carload of people immediately burst into laughter.

Cao Jun didn't think so, but said with a happy smile: "Lao Wang, the boss is called visionary, you will definitely lose money if you bet with him, but I am different this time, you say it yourself, our inland city will surpass Hong Kong, then it will not be developed for thirty or fifty years, the boss said that in 10 years, I will win." ”

Li Wenxiu smiled and said nothing, but sighed in his heart.

Don't talk about Cao Jun, if he wasn't a human being in two lives, he probably wouldn't believe that the sentence would come out of his mouth.

Overtaking Hong Kong in 10 years is indeed too difficult for a mainland city at this time.

The car entered the city, and the sun was rising at this time, and the temperature in the car immediately became a little hot, so Cao Jun had to roll down the window.

"Boss, why don't we find a place to rest and take Miss Yang to visit by the way, Hong Kong is a paradise for the rich. ”

"You don't even say a word about the hell of the poor!"

After Li Wenxiu finished speaking, he glanced at Yang Xin's face, and saw that Yang Xin's smooth forehead was already sweating, so he had to ask Cao Jun to find a place to park and find a place to rest.

As an international city, Hong Kong naturally has no shortage of leisure and entertainment places, picked a restaurant that is okay, came out after breakfast in the morning, and it was almost time to eat, so I simply found a seat and ordered a few dishes.

After eating and going out, Li Wenxiu stared at the shopping mall opposite with slanted eyes.

"Boss, why don't you go shopping with Miss Yang, and talk about contacting the Far East Group tomorrow, I have also booked the hotel, let's go there to go through the procedures first." ”

Because of the business relationship, Wang Youlai is more familiar with Hong Kong, and Li Wenxiu is also happy to save trouble, so naturally he does not spend time looking for places to find people by himself.

Take Yang Xin to the shopping mall opposite, Central, as the core business district of Hong Kong Island, skyscrapers are lined with each other, although you can't see the grand scene of thousands of people queuing up to shop in later generations, but it is almost inseparable.

The streets are crowded with people, and there are a lot of people queuing in front of the elevator in the mall.

"Let's go over there and take a look and buy something to go back to my parents. ”

Women are born shopaholics, and Yang Xin is naturally no exception.

Wang Youlai had already driven to the hotel to go through the formalities, and Cao Jun didn't mind following the two of them to make light bulbs.

walked around the mall, didn't buy a few things, but Yang Xin earned enough eyeballs.

With a height of nearly 1.7 meters, his delicate facial features are like carefully carved works of art, and this kind of beauty cannot be built up with cosmetics and fashion clothing at all.

Walking down all the way, seeing Li Wenxiu holding Yang Xin's arm, Cao Jun secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, this light bulb is really sad.

When they came out of the mall, it was already afternoon, Wang Youlai drove back, and the group went directly to the hotel.

Before Li Wenxiu had time to rest, the phone in his pocket was already ringing, and when he looked at the caller ID, it turned out to be an unfamiliar number in Hong Kong.
