Chapter 1198: People Go to High Places (7 more)
"What do you want to play first?" Liu Tao asked.
"I wanted to ride the merry-go-round first, then the Ferris wheel, then the rock climbing. And then there's ......," Gong Xue said a lot in one breath.
"Won't you get tired playing so much?" Liu Tao asked with some tears and laughter.
"No! Don't you want to be with me? Gong Xue asked with a small pout. If Liu Tao hadn't fought with her, he would definitely think that this girl would only be cute, and she wouldn't have any lethality at all.
Eyes are often deceiving.
"It's not! I lay down my life to accompany the gentleman today! Whatever you want to play, I'll be with you! Liu Tao said.
"I'm not a gentleman, I'm a woman." Gong Xue corrected.
"That's right! Woman! Liu Tao nodded.
"Let's go!" Gong Xue waved the pass in her hand and said happily.
Soon, they came to the merry-go-round.
Liu Tao is really the first time to sit on this kind of thing. In the past, when he was in Binjiang, the class organized to go to Fuhua Amusement Park in Mending City to play, but he didn't go to play at all, but went to the antique street to make a small fortune.
Gong Xue sat on the merry-go-round and smiled very happily.
From time to time, she asked Liu Tao to help her take pictures, and then posted them to her circle of friends.
"Why don't you look so happy! Are you reluctant to play this? Gong Xue asked.
"It's not." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "It's just the first time I've played this, and I'm not used to it yet." ”
"Haven't you played this with your girlfriend?" Gong Xue asked.
"Nope. We're all busy and have a lot to do every day. Liu Tao replied.
"Really? I think you're pretty laid-back right now. Gong Xue said with some disbelief.
"I'm really laid-back right now. The main reason is that this is the city of Philadelphia. I don't have any business here, so it's just a good time to take a break. If this were in China, I would have to fly around all day, and it would not be easy for me to get a good night's sleep. Liu Tao said with a smile.
"It's all people who fly around all day. It stands to reason that you should be a very famous person, right. But why have I never seen you? It's weird. Gong Xue said puzzledly.
"I'm a low-key person." Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Really? I really don't see how low-key you're doing. If you keep a low profile, you won't be busy. Gong Xue glanced at him and said.
"These are not idle things. If this is in China, someone can help me do these things without even having to do it without me charging protection money so unscrupulously. It's a pity that this is Philadelphia. I had to do it myself. What I'm not used to seeing in my life is this way of using violence to get money. Collecting protection money is too low-level. Liu Tao said.
"Isn't there a protection fee in the country now? There must be. It's just that you don't see it. After all, you're just a person, and even if you just want to meddle in things, you can't manage much. Gong Xue said.
"At least on my turf. No one would dare to do that. If someone collects protection money, they will be punished. Liu Tao said lightly.
"Your territory? Do you have a gang too? Gong Xue asked with interest.
"I don't have a gang. There are no gangs in China now. What era is it now, and where will there still be gangs. Everyone is starting a company and doing business. Gone are the days of using guò violent ways to make money. Besides, gangs are also illegal in Huaxia. Liu Tao said.
"I really don't know which of your statements is true and which is false. Never mind. I don't care who you are. As long as you play with me. Gong Xue shrugged her shoulders and said.
"The identities of the two of us seem to be reversed. Originally, I hired you as a tour guide, but now I am here to accompany you. Liu Tao smiled bitterly.
"Big deal, I don't charge you for the tour guide. Besides, there's nothing fun about Philadelphia. You can't go to the black quarter, can you? Gong Xue said.
"Is the black quarter really that scary?" Liu Tao asked.
"It's okay during the day. The night is hell. Gong Xue replied.
"Aren't all black people living there? It shouldn't be so confusing. Liu Tao asked a little puzzled.
"It's a black area, but it's not all black. The vast majority are black, and some of them are foreigners. Many of them came here by smuggling through guò. They don't have passports and can't live in a white neighborhood. Gong Xue replied.
"Sometimes I really don't understand why these people are smuggled into country M? Is it because of the high wages here? Liu Tao couldn't help but shake his head and asked.
"This factor is enough. Many people go abroad just to make more money. I know an old man in his fifties. His hometown is a coastal city in the country of China. He used to have a very good job, and although his monthly salary was not much, he could still support his family. Later, by chance, he came here with the help of his fellow villagers and worked in a restaurant. Eat and live. Then a salary of three thousand dollars a month. You must know that the exchange rate between the current Huaxia currency and the US dollar is even higher than it is now, and 3,000 US dollars is equivalent to about 25,000 Huaxia coins. You must know that when he was in China, he couldn't even earn 300 yuan a month. He worked here for twenty years and never returned home, just to save money. Gong Xue replied.
"Does he have children?" Liu Tao asked.
"He has two sons. The money he earned bought each of his sons houses and cars in the city, and gave them beautiful daughters-in-law. Gong Xue replied.
"It seems that this is the reason why he has stayed here and worked for so many years." Liu Tao said with a wry smile.
"Yes." Gong Xue nodded and said, "If he hadn't come to Huaxia Kingdom, he probably wouldn't have been able to buy a house for his two sons in his life." You must know that ordinary workers working in China only have a salary of a few hundred or thousands of yuan a month, even if they don't eat or drink, at best, they pay a down payment for their son. If you want to buy a house in full, it is simply difficult. ”
"Housing prices in Huaxia are really high. The main thing is that the wages of the workers are too low. Liu Tao nodded and said.
"Yes! Same labor hours. You can earn thousands of dollars here, but you can only earn thousands of fast Huaxia coins in China. The gap between the two is simply too great. Gong Xue said.
"Maybe it won't be long before Chinese people can earn a salary of this figure." Liu Tao said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
