Stir-fry a plate of off-plan flowers in Hong Kong Feng Tang If we weigh material desires, basic necessities of life, and beauty, besides beauty, I care most about the house. Clothes, I like trousers, old-fashioned shirts and slippers the most. They are comfortable, save money, and cover up physical defects. Wandering around Beijing in late summer and early autumn in this dress is the biggest "displeasure" in life.If there are no beauties and old friends, the only criterion for good food is fast. Uncle McDonald's and Goubuli are my favorites.As for the car, the SUV is the compensation for the image of a man with a penis. My dream car is Changan Alto City Beibei. Parking is so convenient.The house still needs to be invested. After it is built well, you can hide in it, close the door and draw the curtains, and fire a cannon against the wall. No one can control what you do.

My love for houses is also inherited from my mother.She is a pure-bred Mongolian, has a Mongolian name, and can speak Mongolian. Before her heart is bridged, she can drink a bottle of horse pole wine for a meal.My mother's reaction to the two things is always very consistent: when she sees beautiful animals and plants, she always says, take them home and stew them.Seeing the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers, I always say, occupy a piece of land and build a house.In my memory, every time their unit divides the house, my mother always strives to be the first.During the earthquake in 1976, the government encouraged people to build earthquake shelters. My mother built three, with a radius of five miles, the largest and most exquisite structures.Later, the government ordered the demolition, but my mother refused to obey. Her legs were spread apart, her left hand was on her hips, and her right hand was holding a nine-tooth nail rake. She stood in the center of the triangle with the three earthquake sheds as the vertices, to see who dared to move.

When my mother knew that I was renting a house in Hong Kong, she immediately sent a telegram: see if I can buy it, the rent is cheaper for the landlord, and the house can be left to my children and grandchildren.Stocks are for people’s money, and if cash is deposited in the bank, the bank can go bankrupt. When you are really short of money, you may not be able to sell antiques even if you sell them by catty. It is better to leave a house for your children and grandchildren to collect rent.My mother has never studied finance, and she doesn't understand portfolio management and liquidity analysis, but her analysis is on point.

In the first few days when I arrived in Hong Kong, in a nutshell, Hong Kong is not suitable for human habitation.too crowded.People from street to street crowded from east to west, and I stood in an air-conditioned room and watched, and I would sweat involuntarily.However, after staying for a long time, just like staying on an airplane for a long time, I gradually get used to it and gradually realize some benefits.From the perspective of living and living, Hong Kong is a good place. One of the benefits is compactness.On Hong Kong Island, you can pick any place and within ten minutes’ walk, you can eat, drink, prostitute, gamble, do laundry, get money to buy newspapers, pay phone bills and broadband bills, and there are more than two choices.Beijing's royal roads make living inconvenient. Chang'an Avenue is more than 50 meters wide. Even if you cross the road to buy soy sauce on the opposite side, it is not enough to walk for ten minutes.

The second benefit is rich.From Sheung Wan to Central to Wanchai, it takes less than half an hour to walk. You can find authentic restaurants in any country you want to eat, such as Japanese skewers at Nanman Pavilion, Sichuan cuisine Manjianghong, and Lebanese restaurants and Moroccan restaurants whose names I don’t recognize. restaurant.You can buy books and magazines from any country you want to read. The two Sanlian bookstores in Central are no smaller than those in Beijing and Shanghai. There are many more types of overseas publications and cultural relics books than Beijing Cultural Relics Bookstore and Liulichang Haiwangtun Suiyazhai.Computers, PDAs, and audio equipment in Wanchai Computer City and Times Square are quickly stocked with new products.The Japanese products will be launched one month later than the Japanese market, but three months earlier than the American market. The American products will be launched one month later than the American market, but three months earlier than the Japanese market.If you want to leave the busy city for a while, you can climb Victoria Peak by walking for fifteen minutes.The mountain is well protected, and it is to Hong Kong what Central Park is to New York.A ten-minute walk in the opposite direction is the sea, where there are clean chairs, basically no fake monks who set up stalls to read palms, tricycles with rings to shoot, and little girls who sell glowing plastic bracelets.

The third benefit is maturity.The overall impression is that this is an honest and efficient city. From the government to the common people, the starting point of doing things is to be convenient for others and for oneself.The place is dirty, someone cleans it, the process is not smooth, and the government adjusts.Even if Shanghai and Beijing can catch up in hardware within ten years, I don't expect to catch up in software while I am alive.Hong Kong citizens do not advocate culture and ideas, but practical knowledge and technical skills. They simply earn money and rest simply. As the Buddhist scriptures say, eat when you are hungry, sleep when you are sleepy, and go to Shenzhen when your hormone level is high.Citizens simply divide human beings into two categories, those with money and those without money.They heartily give the kindest attitude to anyone they consider rich.Out of professional training, they also try to be as friendly as possible to people they think have no money.Hongkongers are simpler than Shanghainese.Shanghainese divide human beings into four categories, foreign whites, foreign colored people, Shanghainese, and outsiders.No matter how rich the outsiders are, they all have a bad face.People in most cities are not as complicated as Shanghainese. For example, Beijingers only divide human beings into two categories: awesome and stupid. For example, Koreans only divide human beings into two categories: men and women.

Although things are good, it depends on the price.Hong Kong is a good place, but property prices are scary.Even though the current property prices have generally fallen by half from the highest point, the property prices in Hong Kong are still five to eight times higher than those in Beijing and Shanghai in similar locations. I know a big sister who is doing real estate industry analysis in a big investment bank. She has shaved Liu Hulan-style short hair and wears Qu Qiubai-style black-rimmed glasses. She is a native of Hong Kong and has been rated as the number one real estate analyst for several years in a row. In Hong Kong for more than ten years, I haven't bought a square foot of house.People who know her said that if she bought a house in Hong Kong today, the property market in Hong Kong would rise by 10% the next day.I asked her, in the long run, such as ten years, what is the reasonable price difference between Hong Kong and Beijing and Shanghai real estate.I didn't do any calculations, just weighed the benefits of Hong Kong casually, and my psychological expectation is that the answer is two to three times.The eldest sister didn't even think about it: "If it's ten years, at most 50%, it shouldn't be more." "The price difference now is five to eight times!" If it rises, Hong Kong will fall a lot.”

I called my mother, the enemy’s firepower is too fierce, Hong Kong’s property prices are too high, and storming is risky. Why don’t you go to Europe first, such as Hungary. When Genghis Khan was the strongest, Hungary was also the territory of the Mongols, and they could build yurts and yurts. Earthquake shed.
