11 Execute Childhood Commitments Now

In the evening, when the family of three returned to Queen's Wharf, they saw Shu Fangping, Shu Jinghan and his daughter were having the simplest dinner on the street.

Kimchi, chili sauce, pickled radish, white rice.

Very frugal and sad to look at.

In fact, the milk tea business here at Queens Wharf is not very good. Sometimes there are more people, more business is better, and sometimes there are very few.

Shu Fangping's monthly income is not high either.

The sales volume of milk tea today is quite small, but the mother and daughter still persist until after 9 pm.

"Let's go buy a cup of milk tea."

"One drink per person, take care of the neighbors."

"Let's go"

Then the three of them ordered three cups of milk tea, and after a few simple words, they left.

When he returned home, Mo Yunzhen reminded Wang Guanxi: "Xizai, I will help Shu Jinghan more in school in the future. It is not easy for them to live in mother and daughter. I, reading Shu Fangping, may not have sold many cups of milk tea today."

"Okay, I get it." Wang Guanxi nodded.

Originally, Shu Fangping and her daughter lived in public rental houses in the New Territories.

Simply put, public rental housing is rented specifically by the government for the poor, and the annual subsidy expenditure for low-rent housing is 10 to 20 billion yuan.

The housing prices and rents in Hong Kong are very expensive, and many people may not be able to afford to rent a house, so there are a lot of people applying for public rental housing. More than 200,000 people are queuing up to apply for public rental housing, and they may have to wait for more than 5 years.

A ancestral house costs only a thousand Hong Kong dollars or even a few hundred dollars a month, while a house of the same size costs more than 5 to 7 times the market rent.

For example, in Central District, a house with a construction area of ​​50 square meters has a market price of more than HK$11,000, while under the same conditions, the rent of a public housing may be only HK$2,200!

However, in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in 2008, you can rent a good house of more than 100 square meters, or even 200 square meters.

It can be seen how expensive the housing prices and rents are, and the consumption is also extremely high.

The rent of public rental houses of the same size is much more expensive than that of Shenzhen Stock Exchange, let alone market rentals.

The government stipulates that the public housing area standard is 16 square meters for single people. Shu Fangping once brought Shu Jinghan to live in a 16 square meters public rental house in the New Territories.

However, Shu Jinghan had very good academic performance and entered St. Paul's school. However, both primary and secondary schools in St. Paul are in the Central and Western District. In order to facilitate the care of Shu Jinghan, Shu Fangping gave up the public rental housing in the New Territories and moved to Queen's Wharf to live.

The monthly rent in Queen's Community is very expensive. After all, this is a poor area in the Central and Western District, not the poor area in other places.

Because I rented a window, the current rent is HK$6,000 per month.

Fortunately, there are a lot of subsidies.

Wang Guanxi's family has no subsidies because their family has an annual income of families just above the poverty line in Hong Kong.

For the sake of Wang Guanxi's future, his parents sent him to the top three St. Paul Men's and Women's High School in Hong Kong to study.

St. Paul's male and female secondary schools implement dual-track courses. The tuition for local courses is HK$58,000 per year, the tuition for international diploma IB courses is HK$87,000 per year, and the tuition for many international schools in Hong Kong starts at HK$100,000 per year, the tuition for schools is quite conscientious. Students with excellent academic performance but poor families have high rewards and subsidies. Not only scholarships, but also tuition waived.

The school's tuition fee reduction plan is quite relaxed and there is no upper limit on the quota. Students' [family available income] (i.e. after deducting the rent of residence or housing expenses and other expenses) and if they are not higher than the [benchmark available income], they can receive a 100% tuition fee reduction.

[Basic usable income] is HK$315,000 for the whole year. That is to say, the student's [family usable income] as long as it is not higher than HK$315,000 for that year, it is eligible for 100% tuition fee reduction.

Shu Jinghan's family is very poor. Her mother sells milk tea. Her monthly income is not high. Her annual income is far less than HK$300,000. She belongs to a particularly poor family in Hong Kong. The school has waived all tuition fees for her and subsidized her some food expenses every month. She receives scholarships every year.

Wang Guanxi did not receive tuition fee reductions because his family's income was just a little above the poor families in Hong Kong.

According to the original historical trajectory, Shu Jinghan's family experienced twists and turns, and in the end she survived successfully, and was then admitted to Cambridge University by St. Paul.

Wang Guanxi thought selfishly: "In this life, you'd better not go to Cambridge University, stay by my side."

Because the school has never allowed her to take her mobile phone to school, Shu Jinghan has never bought a mobile phone. She goes to school on time every day and goes home on time. Except for the activities organized by the school, she rarely goes to play. After thinking about it, Wang Guanxi plans to give her a mobile phone so that she can contact her easily.

So he got up and left home and came to an Apple mobile phone store in Central.

On February 4, 2008, Apple launched the 16GB iPhone for $199, because Hong Kong is an international free trade port, and many products do not have tariffs, but are very cheap.

The price is not expensive, you can also pay Hong Kong dollars, you can also pay US dollars, and you can also charge RMB. If you secretly take 20 16GB iPhones back to the mainland, you will make a fortune because the mainland is very expensive.

If you have any connection, you will definitely get rich.

Then Wang Guanxi bought one and paid $199 directly.

After leaving the store, he returned and bought two more, which were for his parents.

Three units have less than 600 US dollars, and the exchange rate of US dollar to Hong Kong dollar is 1:7.7, which is counted as HK$4,600.

He then returned to Queen's Wharf.

Shu Jinghan had already closed the stall and was walking back with a bag covered in sweat.

Wang Guanxi quickly followed and said hello: "Hi"

"Hi" Shu Jinghan turned her head and smiled. Under the light, a shiny bead of sweat swept out a miniature parabola from her eyebrows, which fell on her hand.

The heavy bag made her breathless and her face turned red. The single ponytail tied on her head fell on her wet shoulders.

It looks very much like the girl Lin Xiaolan in [Six-person Dinner].

"I'll help you get it." Wang Guanxi was about to reach out to see her hand as she said that.

Shu Jinghan took a few steps sideways.

"No, I can do it myself, but it's not heavy."

After chatting for a few words, Wang Guanxi took out his cell phone and said, "This is for you."

"Ah?" Shu Jinghan was stunned for a moment, and she never expected that Wang Guanxi would suddenly take out a mobile phone and give it to him.

"No, thank you, really, no."

Wang Guanxi fooled and said: "I remember when I was a child, I promised that I would give you the best looking mobile phone in the future, and you could say it was good at that time."

"Hold it,?·"

"This is my promise when I was a child, and it will be implemented now!"

Then Wang Guanxi handed over the phone.

"Ah? Have you said it? Why don't I remember it?" Shu Jinghan recalled, as if this was not the case.

Wang Guanxi: "You don't remember it, but I can just remember it."

“Perform your childhood commitments now”

Then Wang Guanxi put the phone directly into her pocket and quickly left.

"I really don't need it." Shu Jinghan wanted to catch up, but the bag was heavy, and she was so tired after chasing her for a few steps.

"Wang Guanxi"

Then she put down the bag and ran over, but Wang Guanxi had already entered the community and there was no one left in the next moment.
