431 Harbour City Encounter
It's hot in Hong Kong in July.
In the hot summer, both the rich and the ordinary are generally reluctant to come out, no one wants to bask in the sun and go shopping, and it is still very fragrant to blow the air conditioner at home.
In the eyes of Hong Kong citizens, many people can blow air conditioners at home in summer, thanks to two Hong Kong tycoons, one is naturally the richest man in Hong Kong, Chen Zhiwen, and the other is Bao Yugang.
At present, the wages of Hong Kong people, with the last wave of real estate bull market, have risen from 300 to about 1,000 per capita, although this increase is not as high as housing prices, but compared with other industrial products, the increase is still much higher, and in general, the living standards of Hong Kong people are much higher than before.
However, even so, the general air conditioner is more than a month's salary for many people, and many people are reluctant to buy it, but when the Midea Group produces air conditioners on a large scale in Yanjing City, the cost is further reduced, and the price of Midea air conditioners in Hong Kong has almost reached the lowest level in the world, and there will even be some non-core quality problems such as surface scratches of air conditioners are also sent to Hong Kong, informing customers that if both parties agree, they will be sold at a discount, killing two birds with one stone.
In such a situation, many people in Hong Kong have also installed air conditioners, but another problem, that is, electrical circuits, many people's old houses, can not withstand a large number of air conditioners.
Although a lot of money has been invested at one time, if there are more people using air conditioners, it will naturally be able to earn back after a long time, which is also a double win.
However, there are some areas that are too poor, or some people who have no house and can only rent, then there is no way, emergency is not to help the poor, Midea, Hutchison, Red Bull three giant companies co-sponsored by the Huagang Charity Fund, will also help some people with disabilities, but if it is an adult with hands and feet, it will not ask, this is also the principle of the Huagang Charity Fund.
After more home air conditioning, there are a lot fewer people who come to the major shopping malls to rub air conditioners, and those who stay in the shopping malls generally really come to play or go shopping, however, since the opening of Harbour City, most people are more willing to come here, because the area here is large enough, and there is everything to eat, drink and play, no worse than the Central across the sea, and the shopping malls on the Central side, although the number is more, but they also need to go out to flow with each other, in the summer or rainy days, which is not necessary for many people.
The flow of the Harbour City, whether it is spring, summer, autumn or winter, or rainy days, is very high, which is also the advantage of a large enclosed commercial complex.
Harbour City, in a womenswear brand store on the second floor:
Xiaoqin took her best friend Liu Xiaoli's hand, looked at the clothes around her, and said with some excitement: "Xiaoli, look, the clothes here are so beautiful, they are so comfortable to the touch, and they must be very comfortable to wear." ”
Looking at the pile of colorful clothes in front of her, Xiaoqin was very excited, and said: "Last time I came to Hong Kong, I heard about Harbour City, but last time the head of the regiment was strict and didn't let us go around, so I could only go to a nearby supermarket to have a look, and this time I finally came to Harbour City!" ”
"Yes, of course, but for the price." Liu Xiaoli pointed to the sign behind the clothes and said that before coming to Hong Kong, she already knew about Hong Kong's shopping malls and supermarkets.
"HK$1,200!" Xiaoqin was taken aback when she saw the price, but she still paid attention to the occasion and lowered her voice when there were other people around, so that only she and her best friend could hear it.
"Yes, this row, it seems that the cheapest is more than 800, and a winter dress over there, I looked at it and asked for more than 3,000." Liu Xiaoli said with emotion: "Our salary can't afford it for three years, and this is still foreign exchange." ”
"yes, I can only see." Xiaoqin nodded and said.
In the mainland, they can be regarded as people with a little ability, and their salary is about 60 yuan a month, and it is about 200 yuan according to the exchange rate, but in fact, it is another matter, under normal circumstances, they can't exchange foreign exchange at all.
This time they came to Hong Kong, they only had 10 Hong Kong dollars per person for living expenses, but fortunately, the TVB TV station that invited them to the opera house was more generous, including food and accommodation, the environment was not bad, the food was also very good, and at the same time, they also gave everyone 600 Hong Kong dollars in living sponsorship.
This made the entire opera house stunned, I didn't expect to be invited to participate in TVB's performance program, before it started, I could actually get a salary, and the head of the team gave an order, in the case of food and accommodation, foreign exchange can not be spent indiscriminately, and it is worth it to bring it back, which can improve everyone's family life.
Although the two of them are also curious and playful, they also have a number, and the money is really useful to bring back, so although they came out to play, they just looked around and didn't spend a penny.
Fortunately, TVB has given another benefit, everyone in the opera house has a bus card, and they can take the bus for free on the Kowloon Peninsula at will, and therefore, no matter how much they play, as long as they don't buy anything, the travel fee is also 0.
Sometimes it also makes Xiaoqin feel that this TVB is too good for her group, but it may also be the welfare of a large company, they went to Yanjing to participate in the Spring Festival Gala campaign before, and they still lived in a guest house with their own money!
"Let's go, let's go and see somewhere else." Liu Xiaoli looked at the salesman who had been staring at them next to her, and said quickly. In the past, when other colleagues of their opera house were shopping in other places, they may have had a language conflict with the salesperson because they didn't know the rules of Hong Kong, and everyone was unhappy in the end, and Liu Xiaoli didn't know what she should do and what she shouldn't do, but she really couldn't afford it, so she just watched it for a while and left.
"Why are you leaving? Aren't the clothes here pretty? A male magnetic voice came from behind him.
"Huh, it's you? Why are you here? When Xiaoqin saw Chen Zhiwen, she immediately said vigilantly.
"This is on my territory, you come to Hong Kong, and you don't allow me to appear here?" Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
"Long time no see." Liu Xiaoli said very generously.
"yes, two months." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, "Do you have any clothes you like?" ”
"That's not true, the clothes here are all summer, in fact, they seem to be similar to what we wear, and this kind of clothes seems to be too conspicuous in China." Liu Xiaoli naturally knew that Chen Zhiwen was not bad for money, and she didn't say anything more expensive or not.
"Wouldn't it be better to be visible? Isn't the purpose of human existence in the world to let others see a more wonderful version of themselves? Chen Zhiwen smiled and said.
"See a better version of yourself?" Liu Xiaoli was stunned for a moment, and seemed to think that this sentence was very suitable for his work, art is also for people to watch, whether it is in a small opera house, or a national-level performance, or even an international-level competition, isn't it also the most dazzling self? This is true both in terms of appearance and in the art itself.
"Try on the clothes, you come and pick them out." Chen Zhiwen said to the waiter standing not far away.
"Okay." The waiter didn't know Chen Zhiwen either, but seeing that there seemed to be a few bodyguards outside, as well as the quality of the clothes on the other party, he felt that he should not be an ordinary person.
"It doesn't have to be." Liu Xiaoli whispered after approaching Chen Zhiwen's side.
"What's this, you probably will stay in Hong Kong for a while in the future, you can't really just wear clothes brought from China." Chen Zhiwen whispered.
The two of them, in fact, after the separation of Yanjing, actually had a connection for a period of time in between.
When Chen Zhiwen left Yanjing, the opera house in Yanjing City was quickly selected for the Spring Festival Gala, and the Hankou Opera House, Shanghu Opera House, etc. were naturally eliminated, and then they had to pack up and go home.
After returning to Hankou City, Liu Xiaoli found that the Hankou Municipal Government began to promote the installation of telephone services in the city on a large scale, and the price was very cheap, and it is said that Hankou City was lucky enough to be selected as a place for the test of domestic telephone exchanges, and tens of thousands of families would receive cheap telephone installation services.
And the price paid is very simple, that is, maybe in occasional cases, the call will be disconnected or busy or the signal is out of order, etc., but the probability of personal encounters is actually very low, and the relevant technical experts will also use the actual test to detect problems and changes, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and the Hankou Municipal Government is also very happy to get such a discount, but I don't know which leader gave Hankou City such convenience.
The Liu family is also a scholarly family, and the family conditions are not very good, but they are not bad, so they naturally installed telephones.
Then, a call from Hong Kong came.
"After the TVB performance, maybe I'll leave." Liu Xiaoli said with a wink of her eyes.
"TVB's performance, it's still early." Chen Zhiwen said indifferently, if he invites the Hankou Opera House to come now, he will not let them perform on stage immediately, but will wait until more than a month later.
"Okay, this dress?" Liu Xiaoli asked with some uncertainty.
"Pick two or three pieces, in fact, these are not very luxurious brands, and they won't be very conspicuous when worn, but you look so beautiful, in fact, all clothes are the same." Chen Zhiwen said.
Nouveau riche only like luxury brands, and when it comes to Chen Zhiwen's level, even a few more levels, such as those worth about 100 million, they don't need any luxury goods, even if they bring an ordinary copycat watch, everyone will believe that it is a luxury brand worth tens of thousands.
Of course, I don't care about the brand, it doesn't mean that my clothes are not expensive, in fact, his clothes are customized by professional designers according to their body type, and the materials are naturally used well, Hong Kong and many rich people around the world are like this, but they don't need brands.
"Okay." Liu Xiaoli nodded and said, she actually knew that her opera house could come to Hong Kong because of Chen Zhiwen, but this is fine, after being eliminated by CCTV, coming to Hong Kong is also a good choice.
After more than ten minutes, the second daughter tried on the clothes, and Chen Zhiwen also signaled his subordinates to go to the checkout alone.
"Let's go, you're lucky, you ran into me, and I'll invite you to eat seafood." Chen Zhiwen then said
"Seafood? Is the food here expensive? Xiaoqin blinked and said, they had seen it before, and the special menu placed outside each restaurant was not something they could afford. She was a little embarrassed that she had already bought two clothes, he actually saw that Chen Zhiwen was not targeting herself, and she didn't think about asking for clothes just now, but Liu Xiaoli persuaded her.
"Don't worry, no problem." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said: "What I took you to eat is a seafood buffet." ”
"Buffet? What is that? Liu Xiaoli thought for a while and asked.
"It's a kind of restaurant, each of us pays a certain amount of money, and then the contents are eaten as much as we want, but we can't take it away or waste it, and the rest is arbitrary." Chen Zhiwen led the two to the top floor of Harbour City, where there was a very luxurious buffet with not many people, specially serving some wealthy people or company executives in Hong Kong.
"And this kind of restaurant? So if I eat too much, the boss won't have to die? Xiaoqin said in surprise that now the mainland has also begun to allow state-owned restaurants to be open to private individuals, and ordinary people can also open their own stores if they are allowed, but it is generally a price for one dish, and the buffet model is the first time I have heard of it.
"If you have the ability, you will make the buffet owner suffer a loss." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile, this kind of buffet is really a big stomach, and it is difficult for the boss to lose money, but it is true that some people are staring at expensive food, and there is a certain possibility.
