Lin Yi didn't actually go back to the room directly.

As soon as he got into the elevator, he asked the two people next to him, "Do you want to go downstairs?" I drank some wine just now, and I wanted to blow the wind outside. ”

Liu Jianni is a very discerning person, and she directly excused herself: "You guys go." ”

Li Moyan was noncommittal, but she didn't press her own floor, so she acquiesced.

When the elevator stopped on the first floor, there were only Lin Yi and Senior Sister who came out of it, and the former exhaled a breath of turbidity and a little smell of wine.

They walked out the door of the hotel, looking at the street that was unfamiliar to both of them and had no particular goal.

"Let's go that way."

That's to the east, in the direction of Causeway Bay, and it's easy to find a late-night snack when you're tired of walking.

Lin Yi and his sister walked through the streets of Hong Kong City, even if they were close to the core area of the CBD, the roads here were still narrow, which was very different from the big cities in the mainland.

Only the rows of high-rise buildings on both sides are still reminding them of the bustling modern metropolis.

They walked for a while without anyone speaking, until Lin Yi suddenly laughed.

"Laughing at what?"

"It's nothing, I'm thinking, the night view of the port city is really good."

"What, regret it?"

Lin Yi reacted slightly, and then thought that because of what happened upstairs just now, the word "night scene" seemed to have other meanings for a short time.

"Of course not."

"When you told us a long time ago that you were going to prepare for listing, you set your goal on Port City from the beginning, so you should be more recognized here, right?"

"Not really. The reason why I chose to list in Hong Kong City was only a last resort, because the United States is an unacceptable option. I don't have any particular preference for Port City, or rather the opposite. ”

I don't know if it's the effect of alcohol, or if I finally talked about a non-work topic, Lin Yi's conversation is very strong.

They listened somewhere on the street, and then Lin Yi pointed in one direction and asked, "Do you know what kind of building the three buildings are over there?" ”

It's not the first time I've come to Hong Kong City, but I've never paid attention to a few super high-rise office buildings, not to mention that it's a night with a relatively limited view.

She didn't ask why Lin Yi, who came to Hong Kong City for the first time, knew him, but just listened to him uncover the mystery himself.

"The three buildings are all famous, from the lowest to the highest, the HSBC head office, the Cheung Kong Group Center, and the Bank of China Tower."

"It's only fitting to use these three buildings to represent the port city, not only to make it clear where the city belongs, but also to encompass its past, present and future."

"Of all the stories related to them, the most well-known is actually a feng shui bureau."

"HSBC's location, which claims to be the wealth of Hong Kong Island, has played an irreplaceable and important role in the city for many years."

"In the 80s, the Bank of China Tower rose from the ground, and its appearance was like a three-sided sharp knife, which was so imposing that it broke the feng shui of HSBC and caused a setback in its operation."

"So HSBC also found a master, and finally set up two cannons on the roof of the building, and the muzzles of the cannons went straight to the Bank of China Building as a counterpoint."

"In the end, when Boss Li, who was sandwiched between them, built the building as boxy as a shield and a strong door when he was building the center of the Yangtze River Group."

"It's a fable, how do you feel after listening to it?"

Senior sister said succinctly: "Ridiculous! ”

"Really?"

It was the first time that Lin Yi had exchanged his views on this matter with others.

"That's what I thought too."

"Such three towering skyscrapers, such a modern metropolis that can be counted in Asia and even in the world, are so rash, but they are playing a feng shui game so seriously and decently."

"First-time visitors to the city are often amazed by its grandeur, but the more you visit, the more you discover the unforgettable traditions beneath its opulent exterior."

"This kind of tradition I call is not the old, outdated, outdated conservative that we usually say."

"It is a kind of decay and corpse stench that spans two hundred years of time and space, and is reborn from the filthy soil in a coffin that has long been buried deep in the ground."

"This is Port City."

Senior Sister really didn't expect that Lin Yi's evaluation of the city was like this.

"I don't deny that this city has its charms, especially the interlaced light and shadow in the old port films, which is the childhood filter given to it by our generation."

"But the city's bustle, its traffic, its glitz and its drunkenness have nothing to do with the nostalgic fireworks and human touch."

"Do you see the overpass over there?"

"Under that overpass, it's full of people on weekends, and to the surprise of unfamiliar tourists, why are there so many homeless people sleeping on the streets in such a bustling city?"

"Those are Filipino maids."

"In the self-proclaimed standard of civilization in Hong Kong City, Filipino maids are a different kind of people."

"They are also not protected by the local minimum wage, and they are often bullied or beaten by their employers, just like the kind of servants who are really inferior and have to swallow their anger to avoid being fired."

"The house in Port City is very small, and it is impossible for most families to prepare a separate bedroom for Filipino maids to live in, so they can only lay on the floor in the living room and even in the toilet."

"On weekends, usually busy homeowners may want to rest at home or call friends, so they will kick the Filipino maid out of the house."

"Those poor people who have crossed the ocean to earn a little remittances, and the homeless are of course reluctant to spend money on accommodation, so they live under the overpass."

"The scars in the city are so obvious, but they don't find anything glaring."

"What is even more ironic is that they always relish the superiority of the so-called civilization, and wantonly exude a sense of superiority in the face of their own people."

"In the universities in Hong Kong City, the best students are from the mainland, or South Korea, which is also rolled into a meat grinder, and the local students are usually the least worthy of mention academically."

"Therefore, they are keen on various student organizations and social activities, and they report to each other to keep warm, and vent their inner dissatisfaction in the form of regional attacks."

"When they discover the city's fortified walls, they never ask the really good people who live on the top of a hill overlooking Victoria Harbour, in the ten-figure mansions of Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay."

"All of their frustrations were vented on people who had nothing to do with them."

"In this world, the discrimination that is simply because of speaking Mandarin is definitely the most serious in Hong Kong City, and there is no one."

"This time, as the chairman and actual controller of Wanli Travel, I came to attend the listing ceremony, and the people I met were polite people, at least it seems."

"But as long as you take a few more laps around the city and reveal your true accent, you can get a lot of eyes."

"The city's nets are everywhere, and they are unaware of their alienation."

"It's as if they don't think it's strange that a 100-square-meter house is called a thousand-foot mansion, and the sense of space has become a completely different concept here."

"Even the five-star hotel we stayed in couldn't get rid of the oppressive crampedness and crampedness."

My sister's impression of the city can be seen from the fact that she chose Singapore further afield instead of setting up Muse's overseas office here.

However, she was still surprised by Lin Yi's words.

"You seem to have some other reason."

Lin Yi did have, because at this point in 2018, only he could see the waves in the dark depths of the city at night.

"It's hard for me to describe how it feels, but you'll understand sooner or later. If I had to define the city, I would probably say ......"

"The ugliest sample of advanced capitalist society."
