Chapter 53 "Golden House Cangjiao" in the Yellow Palace?

Fast-paced days make people feel that time is not flowing, but running and flying. A mainlander has lived in Hong Kong for two or three years, and his heart is heavy with this half-understood city. Although he is exhausted, his interest is hard to lose, because there are always things to renovate in the colorful world that make you unable to close Eye. On September 23, 2006, early in the morning, another reporter in the station and I drove to an old street called Pao Zong Street in To Kwa Wan, Kowloon, where there was a newly opened "business"—— - An inn, this "inn" is called "Swiss Golden Palace", and its nickname is "Golden House Zangjiao". "Golden House Cangjiao" is not actually a shy "pretty beauty" who has been hidden in the small golden house in advance, but that if someone is willing to spend money to spend the night here, his bride or lover, no matter how ordinary-looking, is worth a lot. It can also be matched with the word "jiao".It’s just that anyone who wants to spend a night with a beauty in the “Yellow Palace” doesn’t have 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.

In the past, some people said that Hong Kong society is full of gold?If this sentence is describing earning money, of course I am qualified to shake my head: No, most Hong Kong people work hard all day to support their families and houses, and it is not easy to live one by one; but if it is describing gold shops all over the world , that’s right, the big and small gold stores in Hong Kong are like restaurants, in many places one by one, familiar names like Chow Sang Sang, Chow Tai Fook, Luk Fook, Xie Ruilin, and there is also a Gold Supreme, although its signboard is not as good as the previous ones. It is loud, but mainlanders know that there is a Kowloon gold store in Hong Kong that is worth visiting. A "golden toilet" has a "golden toilet" in it, and a "golden carriage" rushed out later. These luxurious giants Jewelry is in "Golden Supreme", and "Golden House Cangjiao" is a new gadget that the same owner showed off after "Golden Toilet" and "Golden Carriage". In addition to buying land, merchants only bought 2.5 metric tons of gold, which cost a total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars. If this 300 million, 2.5 metric tons of gold is placed on the ground, how high would it be?The merchants planed it out, crafted it, and used it on the floor, ceiling, porch, murals, sofas, seats, beds, bathtubs, dining tables, and tableware of the "Yellow Palace". In short, everything in the "Golden House" is made of gold. It is built with dazzling gold all around, and the price of an object next to it is staggering-if a mortal really lives in it and is wrapped in "gold" alive, his skin may not necessarily feel particularly comfortable.

In September 2006, the "Swiss Golden Palace" deliberately opened its grand opening on the eve of another "October Golden Tourism Week" in the Mainland. The merchants did this, and of course they cared about taking advantage of the concentrated consumption of tourists. The "concentrated consumption" here is not I don't expect that there will be any big money from the mainland who will spend a lot of money. I would rather spend 200,000 yuan to come to Hong Kong's "Golden House Cangjiao" to put on a picture and be an emperor. "Golden House Cangjiao" can be rented out at night and visited during the day.The entrance fee for every visitor who wants to come in and take a photo with the gold all over the world is only HK$25. This price may not sound high at first glance, but it can’t stand the crowds—gold, in the eyes of ordinary Chinese people , that’s just fate with the emperor, ordinary people can’t be emperors, took out 25 Hong Kong dollars, walked into the "golden house" tremblingly, sat on the golden bed, touched the golden cup, and then looked at the "golden duck bath" and "phoenix bath". "Golden toilet" is still realistic, at least to visit the emperor's life.

However, on the second day after I went to "Golden House Cangjiao", I suddenly remembered another shop, a lighting shop, located at 29 Morrison Hill Road, Hong Kong Island.Six months ago, the lighting store posted eight bold characters on the glass windows, "Business is difficult, return to the hometown to farm", claiming that it will close soon, cash out in a hurry, and sell at half price.Those 8 big characters are lined with 8 colored papers of different colors, and are handwritten in black ink. It is a statement, and it seems to carry a kind of inner desolation that the owner cannot see.

"Golden Supreme"'s "Golden House Cangjiao" has a grand opening, but the lighting store on Morrison Hill Road is about to close. This opening and closing, one and one down, is commonplace in Hong Kong, and it is not worth lamenting, but I don't know why. It is because I interviewed "Golden House Cangjiao" in the first two days that I am more concerned about the small lighting store at this moment. I am afraid that I should grab my camera and take a picture. Maybe someday they will disappear at any time, really. Quietly returned to the field and planted rice.

Why does the owner of the lighting store say that he "does business hard, so he returns to his hometown to cultivate the fields"? Perhaps, the small owner of the lighting store is really in financial trouble. Maybe those 8 big characters are just a kind of stimulating promotion method. , "Golden House Cangjiao" always makes people feel uncomfortable - Hong Kong is such a big place, some people are rustic, some are foreigners, some are worried, and some are laughing. This is not a simple problem of polarization, but it is recognized by Hong Kong people A kind of nature, Hong Kong people have "naturally" "recognized" all the way for decades, hundreds of years, which makes them not as rare and sentimental as I am.

Pao Zong Street in To Kwa Wan is an old street. "Swiss Golden Palace" is located on this street. There are no high walls and deep courtyards to separate it, and no royal guards to protect each other. When "Golden House Cangjiao" opens the curtains, you can see the back alleys. Street Tongzi is full of people and cars from morning to night, and the noise is constant.Although all the decorations and furniture in the "Yellow Palace" are laid out according to the real "Imperial Palace" in the West, but there is a market outside the door, which feels very incongruous—the opening ceremony on September 23, Hong Kong I don’t know how many media have sent reporters, or I don’t know which media has not sent reporters to interview, but the reporters are under the scorching sun, carrying cameras and tripods, even though they are sweating down their necks, from time to time they have to pay for the news. They couldn’t occupy a good angle for taking pictures and they had friction with each other, but the grand lineup of interviews blocked half the street, that kind of environment, that kind of place—as if what people were waiting to unveil was not a “golden house”, for me I feel that it is more suitable for a newly opened small restaurant or a newly completed new market (vegetable market).
