Chapter 305: What I Saw and Heard in Port City
Originally, Li Jincheng wanted to invite Tianming and them to their house as guests, but he refused, he returned to the five-star hotel where Meng Xinyi lived, opened a room, and lived in.
The next day, a red Porsche Cayenne pulled up downstairs in the hotel, and then a woman wearing toad sunglasses that covered half of her face stepped out of the car.
Subsequently, three people came out of the hotel, and the three got into the car of the woman in sunglasses.
The white chin of the woman in sunglasses moved, and said: "Xinyi, I am most familiar with the port city, whether you want to go shopping on Parklane Street, or go to the Avenue of Stars for a stroll, or go to Victoria Bay to take a yacht, I can take you there, and I guarantee that you will have fun." ”
The woman in sunglasses turned her head and smiled at the two people in the back row: "Moreover, tonight, there is also a concert of star Deng Xueqi in Hongkan Gymnasium, I bought a few tickets, I don't know if you are interested in going to her concert?" ”
Liu Lu clapped her hands and shouted: "Okay, good, Deng Xueqi is famous, her songs are very good!" I'm a big fan of hers. ”
Meng Xinyi was also very moved, nodded and said, "Thank you Bingyun, we will definitely go tonight." ”
Tianming asked curiously, "Who is Deng Xueqi?" ”
Everyone: "......"
……
The port city is an international free trade port, and more than 99% of the goods of any country entering the port city will not be subject to any tariffs. And the quality of all goods must meet the standards of safety, hygiene, and reliable quality before they can land in the city and be bought by tourists.
Because there are no tariffs, many brand-name luxury goods, such as LV bags, Versace suits, Patek Philippe watches, Cartier jewelry, L'Oreal cosmetics, Chanel perfumes, Mango mobile phones, etc., are cheaper than those in the mainland, or even much cheaper.
This has attracted a lot of mainland tourists to come here for a shopping spree. In addition to these luxury goods, even baby milk powder is included in the rush to buy goods.
Previous years. Mainland milk powder companies frequently have the problem of illegal addition of melamine, which seriously harms the health of infants and young children. The reputation of these companies stinks to the point of being like a rat in the sewer, everyone is angry, and no parent dares to use the milk powder they produce. For the sake of their children's health, they would rather buy foreign milk powder, which is several times more expensive, than buy domestic milk powder.
The milk powder in Hong Kong City is strictly controlled in the import inspection process. Safety and health have been unanimously recognized, and many people have found ways to buy milk powder from Hong Kong City and bring it to the mainland.
Even, many mainlanders made a special trip to Hong Kong City to buy ten cans and eight cans at a time, forming an army of water customers, frantically bringing milk powder to the mainland for sale.
The demand of the mainlanders is too strong, to the point where demand exceeds supply. Many of the daily necessities of the people of Hong Kong City have been bought out in a short period of time.
Then, all kinds of contradictions and conflicts arise. In the end, the blood and blood emotions between the two places were severed.
Fortunately, the mine-sweeping operation in July this year achieved good results, and people were quiet. Start to reflect, what is the problem?
Two words: mentality.
Hong Kong city people's nouveau riche consumption behavior of mainland tourists is understood as "showing off", "showing off" and "pretending to be an uncle". This deeply stimulated them, and they immediately "rejected" and "hated...... There are many people with this mentality, and a public opinion is formed, and in the end it is successfully used by others and embarks on a crooked path.
The suzhì of tourists from country H is notoriously low all over the world, this is not discrimination, but a fact.
Now, after a period of reflection, the people of Hong Kong City have taken up a pragmatic attitude and carefully prepared to open the door to mainland tourists again. This time, they learned to be humble and try to make a good impression on every visitor who came to the port city with a polite attitude and a warm smile.
"Sir, the things you bought are already packed. Because you spent more than 10,000 yuan, you also got a small gift from us, I hope you can like it. The salesman handed a small and cute cartoon puppet to Tianming.
"And the gift, thank you." Tianming happily took the cartoon puppet in his hand, very satisfied.
Look at what you bought.
A few designer outfits, two pairs of Figra Morchor crocodile shoes, two Patek Philippe diamond-set mechanical watches, six boxes of L'Oréal cosmetics, four cans of Abbott Gold Milk Powder, and a few pieces of jewelry.
plus the bag and a few clothes bought for Liu Lu, a total of 2.64 million was consumed.
"My cousin is too good to me, in the future, I must find a man like my cousin to marry." Liu Lu took the 16,000 bag in his hand and said excitedly.
"This guy is really a rich man, I haven't seen him frown when I swiped the card." Meng Xinyi is also worth millions, but she still doesn't dare to let her spend money like Tianming.
"It seems that he is really not short of money, is he really from a certain family?" Although Li Bingyun's family is the first family of H people, the strength of many families is not measured by money, and they will not even disclose their property, which has the legend of "hidden family" and "behind-the-scenes family".
This kid may be from a hidden family.
Putting things in the trunk of Li Bingyun's Porsche, Tianming's brows suddenly furrowed, and he felt as if someone was hiding in a corner and following them.
Turning sideways, Tianming deliberately pointed the back of his head at the corner, and sure enough, he sensed that a sneaky person, holding a DV camera-like thing in his hand, quickly took a picture of him.
"Don't run!" Tianming launched instantly, and quickly rushed over with lightning speed, and in just a few seconds, before the person could react, he was caught by Tianming.
A skinny, rat-headed and stealthy-eyed guy.
"This guy is secretly following us." Tianming held him in one hand and said to Li Bingyun and them.
"Who is this man? Why track us? Meng Xinyi was puzzled.
Li Bingyun seemed to have expected it, and glanced at the man lightly: "A paparazzi from the paparazzi, take over his camera." ”
"Paparazzi? Why do the paparazzi stalk us? ”
"Alas~" Li Bingyun sighed, "It's not stalking you, it's stalking me, because these guys, I've been on the cover of the magazine seven or eight times." ”
Li Bingyun, the youngest daughter of the richest man, is twenty-eight years old, has not been married, the object is unknown, and it is very newsworthy.
"Bring the camera!" Without saying anything, Tianming snatched the camera from his hand.
"Don't, don't, big brother, can't I delete the photos in it? I bought this camera for 20,000 yuan. The paparazzi panicked and struggled to beg Tianming for mercy.
"Trick it up for you." Tianming changed the camera from his left hand to his right hand, and his right hand to his left hand, until the paparazzi was a little dazzled, and the "soldier" snapped his fingers and the camera was gone.
"Okay, you can find the camera yourself, it's not on me anyway, goodbye." Tianming spread his hands, got into Li Bingyun's car, and let him eat a cigarette butt.
The paparazzi searched around, and even turned over a few trash cans around, but still didn't find the camera, he knelt on the ground in despair and shouted: "In my camera, there are sneaky revelations from star Tang Shishi and director Yi Zhongxian, all the points are missing, all are missing!" Give me back the camera, give it back to me! ”
The people around looked at this paparazzi like a nervous disorder, Tang Shishi is a star who has risen very fast in recent years, showing people with a pure image, she will also be submerged by the director? No way.
……
After lunch, in the afternoon, Li Bingyun took Tianming and a few people to visit several well-known scenic spots in Hong Kong City, such as pressing star handprints on the Avenue of Stars, taking a yacht in Victoria Bay, climbing to the top of the Oriental Pearl Tower to enjoy the city scenery, and going to the Ocean World to watch the underwater swimming fish...... Each place was played for a long time.
During this period, I met two big-name celebrities, went to the restaurant pù opened by a famous star to eat, and of course, I also saw a scene that surprised Tianming:
Two white-haired grandmothers in their 70s, struggling to pedal their tricycles and emptied the garbage from the roadside garbage cans into the car - they are the city's cleaners, or many of the city's cleaners, are old people of this age.
A certain dilapidated street, rows of iron cages are stacked on the road, the cages are very large, piled very high, Tianming thought it was a pig, but I didn't expect to see a few people lying in it sleeping, and asked in surprise, Li Bingyun said hesitantly: "These people are poor people who have no money to buy a house, and they live in this kind of iron cage, we call this kind of cage 'cage house'." ”
"Isn't the port city a developed city? How can there still be poor people living in such birdcage-like cages? How can there still be 7,80-year-old people at work? Tianming asked with some irritation.
"This, I don't know, let's play in another place." Li Bingyun hurriedly drove the car away from this old street.
……
Hongkan Gymnasium, 80,000 seats were full, and countless fans waved the light sticks in their hands and sang familiar songs together with the singers on stage.
"The most beautiful bubble, although a moment of fireworks, no matter how bright the star, will fall in a flash."
"Uncle, why don't you wave your glow stick, isn't Sister Xueqi's song beautiful?" Li Yuhan, who was wearing a hat, touched Tianming, who was sitting next to him in a daze, with his arm.
"Oh, that's good, it's good." Tianming also shook the glow stick in his hand, and for a while, it seemed to be integrated into a joyful atmosphere.
