Chapter 8 Gather information, see and hear in the mall
It's a family travel room, and although it's a bit pricey, it's okay for five people. The market investigation has gained a lot, and the future is bright. Lin Yi, who had confidence, felt that there was no need to treat himself badly.
After closing the door, Lin Yi grabbed the little monk and asked curiously, "Little Master Duobao, why do you have so many treasures on you?"
The little monk bowed his head and recited Amitabha, and replied a little gloomily: "What Master left before his death, let me try to keep it as much as possible, and not be ruined." ”
"So you followed along. Lin Yi nodded suddenly.
However, he felt that the little monk really didn't take the treasure as money, so he lent it to him so easily. Lin Yi had never seen such a person, so he asked the little monk what he thought, why was he so generous?
Dafang said with a natural face: "What's this? Didn't you also take out your personal jade card to help others? I just learned it from you?"
Lin Yi was a little crazy, "Can this be the same? My jade plate is only 500 yuan, and your three Buddha treasures are worth 250,000 yuan?"
"Master said that money is something outside the body, and if you don't bring it to life and die, why bother with it?" said Dafang and bowed into the air.
He smiled at Lin Yi and said, "And I found that before you entered the pawnshop, you didn't seem to know the value of the jade plate. Money is divided into large and small amounts, and good thoughts are no big or small!"
Lin Yi was shocked by the little monk's words, and felt that there were some things, and the other party seemed to see more clearly than himself, and he couldn't treat him as a child in the future.
The girl had been listening, hearing the words, and a look of adoration was shooting in her eyes. This made Lin Yi a little fluttery, and his face was a little hot.
Lin Yi shifted his gaze, looked around the room, and saw that there was a TV in the room, which was a good channel for gathering information.
Turn on the TV, below the blue, green and red tricolor station logo, there are three letters TVB. Lin Yi didn't know what this station was, but he would know it when he waited until the news time.
Advertisements are being broadcast inside, and when Lin Yi saw the advertisements in his previous life, he immediately switched to the channel. But now, he can watch it with relish.
First of all, it is an advertisement for selling 'athlete's foot': Hong Kong foot is not alarmed, quickly use athlete's foot. Athlete's foot, try it and you will know the spirit!
Lin Yi glanced at it, fortunately, everyone was wearing sandals. The girl noticed Lin Yi's gaze, rolled her eyes, then took off her shoes and kicked him with her wheat-colored feet. Lin Yi received the warning and quickly turned his eyes back to the TV.
Next a handsome guy came out on the stage, led a long skirt dancer, and began to sing and dance. Lin Yi didn't understand it at all, thinking it was a song and dance movie or music TV.
He praised the Hong Kong TV station, there were really few advertisements! As a result, a minute later, the sign of 'Wai Yuen Tang Yin Nourishing Pill' was displayed.
It turned out to be gynecological Chinese medicine, Lin Yi's sweat. Suddenly he remembered that there was an 'Wash is healthier' post-life advertisement, which seemed to be more interesting.
Finally started acting in martial arts films, there shouldn't be any scenes that are inappropriate for children, Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, the camera turned, and the white-bearded old man's hand shook, and a bottle of 'Wujiapi Health Wine' flew out.
Lin Yi gave a thumbs up and praised the Hong Kong advertising directors of this era. They are so powerful that they can make future generations who have been bombarded with advertisements guess wrong twice in a row!
Consider that except for World War II, Hong Kong's commercial prosperity has lasted for more than 100 years. This place is also a well-informed port, and the hearts of consumers must have been understood by business elites from all walks of life!
Shopping malls are like battlefields, Lin Yi doesn't know, in the fierce competition, can he laugh at the end? You must know that the back waves beat the front waves, the predecessors planted trees, and the later generations enjoyed the shade, which is not new at all! Even Lin otaku has heard some of them-such as Wanyan VCD.
The program after the commercial is an old Chinese movie. The content looks like the works made by the old filmmakers who left Hong Kong in 49 years. The story structure is meticulous, and the emotional conflicts are delicate and sincere.
After watching the movie, everyone was sleepy. However, after a day of shopping, in the hot season, it is inevitable that the body is sticky. If you don't take a bath, you can't sleep at all. Lin Yi has been in the past four days, and this is the first time he has taken a hot bath. It seemed that the exhaustion was washed away by the warm water.
The man took a bath very quickly, and after ten minutes, Lin Yi was finished. After he put on his bathrobe and came out, he saw the girl and the little monk, still holding the TV and watching it non-stop, so he immediately turned it off. Beckoned the two into the bathroom and taught them how to use the shower.
After the girl took a bath, she walked into the inner bedroom. Looking at the closed door behind her, Lin Yi felt a little miscalculated, he shouldn't have such a big suite! With a little regret and a little longing, he also slowly fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, the clothes I washed last night were all dry, and I was fresh and refreshing to wear. In addition to the hot weather, there is also the credit of the girl. She flattened her wet clothes and used a hair dryer for a while. Lin Yi didn't expect that a girl who had just come into contact with electrical appliances could have such creativity!
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Yi went out to buy a few newspapers. Since he knew that there was no bonus system for crossing, and he didn't give other cheats, paying attention to collecting information has become his first criterion.
Lin Yi opened the newspaper, and he saw a half-naked beauty, saying that a star had gone to the sea. He hurriedly folded the newspaper, then looked up at the door, but fortunately the two minors had not gotten up yet. Although the black and white photos are not clear, it is still necessary to avoid poisoning the innocent mind.
The layout of the newspaper is very dense, and some articles are vertical, which Lin Yi is very uncomfortable with. There are a lot of advertisements on it, but most of them are tofu cubes, or located in the cracks.
The advertisement for Hitachi's automatic washing machine occupies half of the page. It can be seen that the financial resources are abundant, and it also shows that the electrical industry is now very profitable. Lin Yi felt that it was necessary to find an electrical city, learn about it, and see if there were any opportunities.
In Jin Yong's Ming Pao, the economic commentary was rather pessimistic. After the 1973 oil crisis, the stock market and real estate crashed, and economic growth plummeted from 12.3 percent to 0.5 percent. Hong Kong has seen a wave of company failures, and the unemployment rate has soared to 20%, and it has not improved since.
Lin Yi still has some memories of this history. After OPEC oil producers raised prices, the oil crisis came. The stock market is the most sensitive to this, so then there is the financial crisis. When it spread, it was an economic crisis, and companies went out of business one after another. When unemployment soars, it becomes a social crisis.
Now, it's a good time to buy the bottom. It's a pity that I don't know if his first pot of real gold can be earned in time. After all, the overall market situation is not good, and it may be difficult to make money.
Sing Tao Daily, a newspaper from Nanyang, referred to the 10th anniversary of Singapore's independence and praised the achievements of the Home Ownership Scheme. Lin Yi, who had been renting a house all his life, couldn't tell whether this was a boast or not, and planned to have time to see it with his own eyes.
The clock showed that it was eight o'clock, Lin Yi put down the newspaper and turned on the TV, it was the morning news time.
At this time, the girl came out of the inner room and said to Lin Yi in a rare way: "Brother Yi, I also want to watch TV." ”
Lin Yi had never received this kind of treatment, and nodded hurriedly.
Seeing that the news was being broadcast, the girl was a little disappointed. But he sat down, staring at the TV and refusing to move.
Seeing her delicate appearance, Lin Yi smiled and continued to watch the news.
Lin Yi only glanced at the content just now, as if it was about the cod war between Britain and Iceland.
The announcer went on to report that since the fall of Saigon on April 30, the number of Vietnamese refugees in Hong Kong has reached 3,000.
Next, he touted Hong Kong, saying that as the 'first port of refuge' of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the humanitarian work of the British government in Hong Kong has been widely praised by countries around the world. These refugees will stay in Hong Kong temporarily while waiting for visas to travel to the United States and Australia.
Before the crossing, the word refugee crisis was heard even by homestays who lived in seclusion. This news reminded Lin Yi of Turkey in later generations, which was fooled by the EU into accepting many refugees. Eventually, as soon as the doors closed, these refugees were stranded, and it became a problem for Turkey. I wonder if these Vietnamese refugees will also become a burden for Hong Kong.
Suddenly, a piece of news on the screen caught the eyes of Lin Yi and the girl. The announcer said that the yellow croaker resources near Hong Kong have been completely depleted. Fishermen are changing steamboats to go to the deep sea for fishing.
Lin Yi felt that this matter would affect his brother-in-law. He has received the favor of the Xiang family, and he should also be concerned about this issue. Seeing the sad face of the girl next to him, he made up his mind.
