551 The Unintentional Listener Has A Heart
When Li Changheng saw that there was not a single government person among the people who came to pick him up, he finally felt relieved.
For people like Ran Xinming, the foreign guests and compatriots in Hong Kong whom they want to receive are the most reassuring time in their foreign affairs work in more than ten years.
Except for the three crew members and the two flight attendants who are foreigners.
Ruan Mei, Zhang Tianzhi and others are all Chinese, and they even have two and a half-old children.
The superior simply used Li Changheng to repeatedly emphasize that his itinerary was personal, so he really thought he was here to play.
The crew members were specially treated, and Li Changheng generously gave the six people $1,000 each, as the funds for their stay.
According to the exchange rate at this time, 1,000 US dollars can be exchanged for 1,420 RMB, which is equivalent to He Yuzhu's three-year salary.
It doesn't seem to be much, but in fact it has a high purchasing power.
Li Changheng's bulletproof Mercedes-Benz and another Mercedes-Benz sedan brought by him were finally driven out of the airport after a series of inspections.
Unlike the future 6th Ring Road, there are many high-rise buildings. In this era, buildings with more than 6 floors are considered high-rise buildings.
Moreover, in the eyes of the old Beijing in this era, the third ring is just like the future outside the 6th ring, and it is the suburb.
Looking at the crowds riding 28 bicycles, wearing simple clothes, basically all in gray, black Zhongshan suits and cotton jackets.
Li Changheng suddenly felt like he had truly traveled through time and space and came to a familiar place in his memory.
As for military green coats, only people from good families can wear them.
"Afeng, Afeng, there are the same carriages as in the New Territories countryside."
Li Changheng, who was falling into memories, heard Ye Zheng's words and looked in the direction he pointed at.
Soon I saw a donkey cart pulling more than 2 meters of high dry straw.
Ruan Mei grabbed Li Changheng's arm, looked at him curiously for a few times, and said with a smile, "A Zheng, you little fool, you can't tell the difference between a donkey and a horse."
"Is this a donkey?"
Ye Zhengye didn't care if Ruan Mei smiled at her as a fool. Instead, he turned around and knelt on the sofa-style seat that was interrupted by the lengthening Mercedes-Benz, staring at the donkey cart that slowly became distant.
Until he couldn't see it, he said with a smile, "It seems that he is much smaller than a horse."
Ran Xinming, who sat in the passenger seat and said that it was to guide the way, actually wanted to hear what Li Changheng and the others said along the way.
Hearing the words without belittlement, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After the convoy entered the 3rd ring, Zhang Feng looked at the buildings outside the car with a height of not very high but an absolutely large area, and looked at Li Changheng in confusion and asked.
"Uncle Heng, the mainland looks no worse than Hong Kong Island and London."
Li Changheng looked at Ran Xinming's back and didn't understand where he was. The route of the convoy must have been specially formulated.
Of course, this is understandable. After all, no one will take guests to their utility room without any need.
He smiled and said, "Although London has been developing a wave of reconstruction and expansion since the 1950s.
But the English are like a declining nobleman who has been rich in his ancestors but has been on the decline and can't even maintain a decent life.
The financial district and commercial district do have high-rise buildings and a decent side, but more of them are carefully repairing this and making up for that.
It is obvious that they have long since compressed their naval military expenses.
But I didn't want to be embarrassed, so I could only borrow money while using culture and history to write about it, and devote all my limited money to the West and North London districts.
And as soon as you go to London, you will follow your father and I, living in West London, or in the heart of Hyde Park.
What you see is of course the best side of London.
But if you go to the East End and South London, you can see that the family doesn’t even have extra clothes, and more than 300,000 are still at the bottom of the society below the poverty line.
As for Hong Kong Island, Li Changheng thought about it and sighed, "This city that integrates East and West has just entered the initial stage of great development in the next 20 years."
Zhang Feng recalled his experience in London over the past three years. It seemed that it was indeed as Li Changheng said that the East District was the poorest and most chaotic place.
Then he thought for a while and suddenly said, "Uncle Heng, with the current messenger of Hong Kong Island, civil servants are rampant, and the English always control the current situation of all rights. Do you really think that Hong Kong Island will usher in great development in the next 20 years?"
Not only did Ran Xinming prick up his ears, but even Ye Zheng sat down honestly, looking at Li Changheng with a curious look on his face.
Li Changheng leaned in the back seat for a few seconds before saying, "The continuous influx of population in the mainland, Yue Nan and Asan means that Hong Kong Island's own market will continue to expand steadily.
Not to mention the rest, the real estate industries involving cement, steel and other industries will recover faster than other places during economic crisis.
Moreover, the population continues to increase, and another advantage is that it always maintains low-cost labor.
Let Hong Kong Island have the advantage of cost in the next ten years and seize the Southeast Asian market.
With business deals between the East and the West, the best place to deliver is Hong Kong Island.
With the continuous growth of foreign trade, finance, and labor-intensive products, the wealth of Hong Kong Island and locals will continue to increase."
Speaking of this, Li Changheng smiled and waited for more than ten seconds, and after Zhang Feng digested it, he smiled and said, "What are the three economic elements proposed by the French?"
Zhang Feng's eyes lit up and he said, "Land, capital, labor."
Then he thought for a few seconds, and looked at Li Changheng with an admiration expression on his face and said.
"Uncle Heng, you are so amazing. Hong Kong Island is not short of labor and capital. With East-West exchanges, there will definitely be no shortage of great development in the financial industry with borrowing and financial transactions.
But Hong Kong Island is just so big, and the most suitable land for investment is only six or seven areas.
In the future, the land on Hong Kong Island will definitely have a more stable return on investment, appreciate faster and more valuable than other industries.
So you have just been 69 years old and would rather make people laugh at you than spend more money. In a very short period of time, you will be transferred to a large area of land along the coast of Tsim Sha Tsui."
Speaking of this, Zhang Feng sighed, "Uncle Heng, in the future, this industry alone can make you the richest person in Hong Kong, right?"
Li Changheng smiled and said, "It's right, but if you only know this, you can enter the real estate industry and wait for money to lose or even go bankrupt."
"Why?"
After Ruan Mei finished speaking, she realized and looked at Li Changheng with a worried look on her face, "Aheng, are you talking about the economic crisis?"
Li Changheng smiled and nodded, "Hong Kong Island is just that big, and the real estate and financial industries make money quickly but have extremely poor ability to bear pressure.
