I took a car to the airport on the outskirts of Yangcheng, there were no large planes such as Boeing and Airbus at that time, and only the civilian ones were Il-18, which was quite advanced and advanced in China at that time.

Lu Li was on a plane for the first time in his life, his legs were shaking with excitement and nervousness, he buckled his seat belt according to the instructions of the flight attendants, and looked sideways, Li Zhengrong and Wei Tieliang had the same pale faces, his fingers grabbed the armrests of the seat, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were exposed.

Fortunately, Yangcheng is very close to Hong Kong, the plane flew for more than two hours, and slowly landed at Kai Tak Airport, and when the plane stopped for a moment, Lu Li was surprised to find that Li Ting, Li Da and several other people from the municipal party committee who were traveling with them also had ugly faces, "Uncle Li, you ...... Nothing, right? ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's the first time I've taken a plane, hehe, I originally wanted to talk to you on the plane, but it's delayed."

"If you don't think I'm annoying, when you return to Yangcheng, or even when you arrive in Pengcheng, I'll find a day to chat with you."

Li Ting laughed, "Okay, then it's decided!" ”

"Mayor, it's time for us to get out of the customs."

The three of them followed Li Ting, as their entourage all the way out of the airport hall, and the other party had already received a receptionist to greet them and take them to a hotel in the downtown area - Lu Li later learned that this area, called Causeway Bay, was the most prosperous prime location in Hong Kong. Then, when they were settled, the three of them separated from the large army, and they slipped out of the hotel, merged into the huge flow of people, and disappeared without a trace.

Walking on the road to Central, Hong Kong, Lu Li really felt dizzying. There are high-rise buildings everywhere, colorful shop signs everywhere, compared with the most prosperous Binjiang Road in Tian (Tianjin), it is not at a grade at all, if you can have a store here, oh my God! It's really not a dream to make money every day!

A sign full of written English flashed in front of me. It was all English letters in the art style, and Lu Li didn't know half of it, and when he passed by, he was stunned to find the men's suit in the window, so he understood that this place was selling clothes, "Brother Rong, go in and have a look?" ”

Li Zhengrong turned his head and smiled. "What's the matter, Xiao Lu, still don't forget your business here? Let's go, go inside and have a look. ”

The three of them pushed the door in, and the store was quite large, two or three hundred square meters, and on three sides were counters for clothing, and bright and soft lights illuminated the hanging suits. Emitting a quiet and tranquil light, the center is a large operating table. On top is a matching garment including shirts and underwear, and on the other side is a triangular metal stand that can be rotated, on which are all accessories such as ties, tie clips, bow ties, and cufflinks.

Wei Tieliang suddenly pulled Luli's hand and pointed back, "Look? ”

Luli looked over and was also stunned: next to the door. There's a long table with trays of all sorts of snacks and sweets, and I wonder what they're for.

A man wearing a vest and suspenders greeted him with a smile. After walking a few steps, he stopped, and the three people on the opposite side were all fresh-faced, the first one had delicate facial features, a straight nose and a square mouth, and the two behind him, one of them looked so weird, with a bare egg-like head, and the other looked like the leader, but it seemed to be a little too young, right? "Welcome."

Li Zhengrong said a few words to him in proficient Cantonese, and then said to Lu Li: "Little Lu, is this called John?" Philip dress. Specializing in high-end clothing. ”

"So, if we order one too, can we? Do they accept RMB? As he spoke, Luli took out a large unity from his pocket and unfolded it in front of the man's eyes, "This, what's the point?" ”

"Ah, yes, yes."

Lu Li could understand what the other party meant, shook his head regretfully, and suddenly asked, "Then, the bank is like?" ”

The man smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know, I don't know. That's right. ”

Lu Li and Li Zhengrong shook their heads helplessly, turned out, and when they walked to the door, he stood again, pointed to the candy and pastries on the table and asked, "What does this do?" ”

The other party said a lot, this time he didn't understand, through Li Zhengrong's translation, it turned out that these things were used for the guests who came to the store to enjoy, and they were all free, free to eat!

Wei Tieliang paused for a moment and muttered, "Isn't this throwing money for nothing?" ”

"Not necessarily, the wool comes from the sheep, maybe in our place, these things are very expensive, here, they are not worth much. At the very least, the cost of these things is on the guests. ”

"Dick your mother!" Wei Tieliang muttered and cursed, "No wonder this is all evil capitalism!" ”

Lu Li and Li Zhengrong laughed, and pushed Wei Tieliang out of the gate, "Let's go, come back and let others hear, you have to fight." ”

Walking out of the clothing store, Lu Li said to Li Zhengrong: "Brother Rong, we don't have Hong Kong dollars on us, do we have to find a place to change it?" How can you always walk with RMB like this? I can't buy anything even if I want to. ”

"Where do you say to change it?"

"Why don't you go to the bank? Ask if you want to change it? Hey, there's one over there. Li Zhengrong looked over, and sure enough, it was a bank, with the words 'Standard Chartered' written on it, and the three of them looked at each other: How can there be such a name in the world? Is there any explanation for these two words?

Walking into the bank, the automatic door opened by itself, startled three rural buns, and walked into the bank with a probe, which was so lively, there were a lot of people who came here to handle business, and there was a long queue in front of each window. Li Zhengrong didn't even know where to handle this kind of business, and he was stunned when he stood in the hall. "Excuse me, do you want a helper?" It was a girl in charge of reception at the front desk, wearing a dark ochre uniform, who asked with a smile on her face.

Luli nodded desperately and took out a banknote, "I want to ...... Redeem, you know? ”

"Ah, I'm clear." The girl also nodded desperately, "Do you know how much water to change?" ”

"She asked how much you wanted to change." Li Zhengrong translated on his behalf.

"Let's exchange 2500 by ourselves, is it okay?"

The girl smiled and nodded, signaling that they could, but Luli didn't say a word. took out the banknote she was carrying, and put it on the counter indiscriminately, and the girl was stunned, but also had a smile on her face. "What's wrong, am I doing something wrong?"

"Hmm," the girl grinned, knowing that the three men didn't understand the rules of the bank—and in reality. That's exactly what people like her do—she put the bills away one by one, counted them, and smiled with the three of them, "Please live a little bit." ”

"What did she say?"

"She said let's wait a while."

So the three of them stood in the bank hall like fools, and Luli found that although there were many people here, the environment was very quiet, and it seemed that everyone was deliberately lowering their voices to speak, making every counter seem to be a spy connection. There was silence.

After waiting for a while, the girl and a man turned back at the same time, the latter was wearing a sauce-red suit, a tie of the same color, leather shoes of the same color, and his hair was meticulously combed. The man bowed respectfully and said a few words. The girl handed them a stack of bills, "He said he didn't know what kind of denomination we needed, so he prepared some for each, the largest being a thousand dollars." ”

"That's already thankful, yes. Your name is baa? He asked the girl.

"Why do you ask this? You know, don't make a fuss in this degree - you have a partner in Tianjin. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? I wanted to write a thank you note. ”

Li Zhengrong laughed wildly! The voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and when he finished translating, the other party and a man and a woman also couldn't help but smile. "You have it, people don't pay attention to these things here. Let's go. ”

Lu Li and Li Zhengrong and others walked out of the bank, along the main road of Causeway Bay in Central, wandering up by the reins, every building here is extremely strange and novel in the eyes of the three people, I really want to walk in one by one, one by one for the better, but this has a big difficulty, they don't know where to enter, where not to enter, this kind of thing is not good to inquire with others, only to see the person in the more obvious place of entry and exit, before daring to go on.

"Dick your mother!" The three of them walked out of an office building next to the Middle Ring Road, and Wei Tieliang chattered and cursed, "What's good in it, it's all a bird's nest!" There is no one at all. ”

"There are people, but everyone works there, and you don't know anyone, so naturally they won't let you in."

Lu Li was also a little funny, entering an apartment rented in an office building, Wei Tieliang followed the crowd into the crowd without saying a word, but unexpectedly opened his mouth and came out in a gray manner, not looking for his own faults, but scolding others? "Brother Rong, didn't you say to buy something this time? What to buy? ”

"What do you want to buy?"

"I thought, buy something for my aunt, you say, what should I buy?"

"Old man, it's best to buy some gold bracelets or something. I've heard's say that there are a lot of gold shops here, so let's go and find them. ”

There are more than two in the Central area, one is more banks, the other is more gold shops, walking through the corner of the iconic landmark building in Causeway Bay, there is a gold shop called 'Jin Jiafu', Li Zhengrong looked at the plaque hanging above his head, and nodded secretly: "Xiao Lu, have you seen it?" This person's father really knows how to name his son, Jin Jiafu, what a meaningful name, huh? If this name doesn't make a fortune, there will be no heavenly reason! ”

Luli laughed, "Don't talk so much nonsense, let's go." ”

The three of them talked and laughed and pushed open the door, the door was a bright rich color, on both sides were the customer's aisles, each was a glass counter, and the yellow, orange, orange, and shiny gold jewelry inside were all exquisite and beautiful gold jewelry, which made people's eyes bloom, "Oh, there is a lot of gold here?" ”

The store suddenly remembered a different Mandarin, which made people feel surprised for no reason, a man in front of the counter was looking down to choose, he looked up in surprise and glanced at it, and then lowered his head and picked it up.

It was the first time that the merchants in the store had seen 'old customers' - this is the special name of Hong Kong people for comrades from the mainland, and they all looked at the three people with a little strange look; Lu Li looked up: gold today, HK$34.65 per gram. Is gold sold in grams? Doesn't it look expensive!

He took a few steps forward, and then he was surprised to find that there was a man in an off-white suit in the corner of the aisle, standing there without hesitation, his body was quite muscular, almost like a big bear, looking at them with alert eyes, but he did not speak.

Lully, not knowing what this man was doing, nodded to him in a friendly manner, and walked to the counter, and looked through the heavy, clean glass window, in which gold ornaments were neatly arranged, from bracelets and earrings to chokers and hairpins, which made people cry out in amazement; And in addition to these gold jewelry, there are some that make this rural bun round eyes: in the window behind the male and female clerks, there are all kinds of gold handicrafts, there are eight immortals, there are Fu Lu Shou three talents, there are twelve zodiac signs, done vividly but specific and subtle, very cute!

Seeing his ridiculous appearance when he opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, the horse-faced man smiled, and said a few words in Cantonese with the clerk, and the two of them laughed, "I...... I'll look at this......" He was afraid that others would not understand, and pointed to a gold bracelet, and said with a gesture.

The other party understood, and took out the gold bracelet from the counter funny, took a tray with royal blue satin, put the bracelet on it, and pushed it over.

Lu Li picked it up and saw that the bracelet was carved with exquisite floral ornaments inside and outside, he couldn't understand these things, or through the clerk's explanation and Li Zhengrong's translation, he knew that some of them were swastika patterns, and some were bats, "The 'bat' and 'Fu' words of the bat are homophonic, so in ancient times, it was very symbolic." ”

"I understand, this, I bought it, how much does it cost?"

The weight of a bracelet is two taels and seven seven dollars, and it costs 4799.025 Hong Kong dollars, Lu Li couldn't understand his quotation at all, so he took out all his banknotes and put them on the counter, "Huh." ”

Everyone laughed at the same time, the clerk picked up the corresponding money, and pushed the others back, Lu Li suddenly moved in his heart, "That...... That one...... Is it sold too? ”

The clerk looked down and pointed to his calculator, "This?" ”

"Yes!" Luli nodded desperately, "Is this also for sale?" ”

"Xiao Lu, what are you buying this for?"

"Go back and settle accounts, Xiaowei has to take a pen to settle accounts every day, how hard it is, with this, it's much more convenient."

"You're really going to hurt people." Li Zhengrong whispered a few words to the clerk, and the other party nodded happily and handed over the calculator, "He said, this calculator was given to you for free." ”

Luli was very happy, put away the box and calculator where the bracelet was placed, turned around and pushed open the door, and four men walked in outside, and the two sides made a mistake, and he only felt that his left arm sank, as if he had hit some heavy object?

Walking to the door with Li Zhengrong and Wei Tieliang, before they could say a word, they suddenly heard a violent sharp sound from inside the gold shop! It's like the sound of glass being broken!

Lu Li looked through the glass door, the man who was as strong as a bear had been put down to the ground, his arms were cut back, a man with his knees against his waist, was tying his wrists with something, and the other three held long knives in their hands, whispering to the clerk who had dealt with him just now, he couldn't hear what they were saying outside, but the meaning of this action was self-explanatory.

"Brother Rong, they ......"

Li Zhengrong was also stupid, and he couldn't distinguish the other party's movements for a while, "This is ...... Robbery, right? ”

"What then?"

"I don't know."

Luli was stunned for a moment, suddenly pushed open the door, and stepped in again. (To be continued......)
