Chapter 551 Chapter 551

Seeing that none of the people who came to pick him up was from the government, Li Changheng finally felt relieved.

For people like Ran Xinming, the foreign guests and compatriots from Hong Kong Island that they want to receive are the most reassuring ones in their more than ten years of foreign affairs work.

Except for 3 crew members and 2 flight attendants who are foreigners.

Ruan Mei, Zhang Tianzhi and others are all Chinese, and they even have two and a half children with them.

The superior simply used Li Changheng to repeatedly emphasize that his itinerary was private, so he really thought he was here for fun.

The crew members were received by a special person, and Li Changheng also generously gave each of the six people US$1,000 as expenses for their travel during their stay.

According to the exchange rate at that time, 1,000 US dollars can be exchanged for 1,420 RMB, which is equivalent to He Yuzhu's salary for three years.

It doesn't look like much, but the purchasing power is still very high.

After undergoing a series of checks, Li Changheng's bulletproof Mercedes-Benz and another Mercedes-Benz he brought with him finally left the airport.

Different from the many high-rise buildings on the 6th Ring Road in the future, in the capital city of this era, buildings with more than 6 floors are considered tall buildings.

Moreover, in the eyes of the old BJ in this era, the outside of the Third Ring Road is the same as the outside of the 6th Ring Road in the future, which is a suburb.

Looking at the people riding 28 bicycles and wearing plain clothes, basically all gray, black tunic suits and cotton jackets.

Li Changheng suddenly had a feeling in his heart that he had truly traveled through time and space, and came to a familiar place in his memory.

As for the army green coat, only people from good families can wear it.

"Ah Feng, Ah Feng, there are the same carriages as in the countryside in the New Territories."

Li Changheng, who was lost in memory, heard Ye Zheng's words, and looked in the direction his finger was pointing with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Soon I saw a donkey cart pulling dry straw more than 2 meters high.

Ruan Mei grabbed Li Changheng's arm, looked at it curiously, and then said with a smile, "Ah Zheng, you little idiot, you can't tell the difference between a donkey and a horse."

"Is this a donkey?"

Ye Zhengye didn't care what Ruan Mei said about being an idiot. Instead, he turned and knelt on the sofa-like seat where the extended Mercedes-Benz was interrupted, staring at the donkey cart that was slowly getting away.

Only when he couldn't see it anymore did he say with a smile, "It seems to be much smaller than a horse."

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, he said it was to guide the way, but in fact he wanted to hear what Li Changheng and the others had to say along the way.

He was relieved when he heard that there were no belittling words.

After the convoy entered the 3rd Ring Road, Zhang Feng looked at the buildings outside the car that were not too tall but were relatively large in size, and looked at Li Changheng in puzzlement and asked.

"Uncle Heng, the mainland doesn't look much worse than Hong Kong Island and London."

Li Changheng glanced at Ran Xinming's back, and he didn't understand that the route of the convoy must have been specially formulated.

Of course, this is understandable, after all, no one will take guests to visit their utility room unnecessarily.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said, "Although London has seen a wave of reconstruction and expansion since the 1950s.

But the Englishman is like a declining aristocrat whose ancestors were rich, but has been going downhill, and can't even maintain a decent life.

Financial districts and commercial districts do have high-rise buildings and a decent side, but more of them are preoccupied with repairing this and making up for that.

Seeing that they have reduced their naval military expenses year by year, it is clear that the English have long run out of money.

But I don't want to lose face, so I can only borrow money, use culture and history to write articles, and invest all the limited money in London's West End and North End.

And once you went to London, you followed me and your father, living in West London, in a central area like Hyde Park.

Seeing of course the best of London.

But if you go to the east end and south of London, you can see a family without extra clothes, and more than 300,000 people are still at the bottom of society below the poverty line.

As for Hong Kong Island," Li Changheng sighed after thinking for a while, "this city where the East and the West merge, has just entered the initial stage of great development in the next 20 years. "

Zhang Feng recalled his experience in London for the past three years, and it seems that what Li Changheng said was true, the East End is the poorest and most chaotic place.

Then he thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Uncle Heng, given the fact that Hong Kong Island's policemen and civil servants are rampant with corruption, and the English have always held all the 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, even Ye Zheng sat down obediently, looking at Li Changheng curiously.

Li Changheng leaned on the back seat and thought for a few seconds before he said, "The continuous influx of people from mainland China, Yuenan and Ah San means that the market of Hong Kong Island itself will continue to expand steadily.

Not to mention other things, the real estate industry that only involves industries such as cement and steel will recover faster than other places during the economic crisis.

Moreover, the population continues to increase, and another advantage is to maintain low-cost labor.

Let Hong Kong Island take advantage of cost advantages and seize the Southeast Asian market in the next ten years.

In addition to the business exchanges between the East and the West, the best delivery place is Hong Kong Island.

With the continuous growth of foreign trade, finance, and labor-intensive products, it means that the wealth of Hong Kong Island government and local people will continue to increase. "

Speaking of this, Li Changheng smiled and waited for more than ten seconds for Zhang Feng to digest it before he said with a smile, "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, looked at Li Changheng with an expression of admiration and said.

"Uncle Heng, you are really amazing. Hong Kong Island has no shortage of labor force and no shortage of capital. In addition to the exchanges between the East and the West, there will certainly be no shortage of great development of the financial industry of lending and capital exchanges.

But Hong Kong Island is only that 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 than other industries, and it will appreciate faster and be more valuable.

So when you were only 69 years old, you would rather be ridiculed than spend more money. In a very short period of time, you exchanged for a large piece of land along the coast of Tsim Sha Tsui. "

Having said that, Zhang Feng sighed, "Uncle Heng, this industry alone will make you the richest person on Hong Kong Island in the future, right?"

Li Changheng chuckled, "That's not bad, but if you only know this, you will enter the real estate industry, and you will lose money or even go bankrupt if you take it."

"Why?"

After Ruan Mei finished speaking, she came to her senses and looked at Li Changheng worriedly, "Ah Heng, are you talking about the economic crisis?"

Li Changheng nodded with a smile, "Hong Kong Island is only that big, and the real estate and financial industries can make money quickly but are extremely poor under pressure.

Once it is hit by the economic downturn in other countries, when it plummets, it is likely to be a few percent, or even 50 to 60 percent. "
