Monday, June 17, 1985.
Hong Yankang was very glad that he didn't slack off when he came back yesterday.
He packed his luggage first and then got into bed.
Otherwise, at nine o'clock today, as soon as he got up, he received a call from Hong Yanwu from the front desk.
It is absolutely impossible to pack everything neatly and get out with your luggage in half an hour.
There is no doubt that last night was the best sleep he had ever had since coming to the mainland.
This is the role of relatives.
His family, whose blood is thicker than water, gave him unprecedented stability and peace of mind.
The system, the class, the feeling of being restricted and under surveillance all disappeared.
So even though he didn't eat breakfast, his stomach was empty.
But nine hours of adequate sleep still made him energetic and radiant.
Of course, there is no need to wear that "people's costume".
He is back to his normal outfit today.
Wearing a vertical striped shirt, white suspenders, white leather shoes, and a white top hat, he looks like a Hong Kong tycoon.
When he walked into the lobby like a wealthy businessman, Hong Yanwu, who had been waiting for a long time, saw him and immediately praised him.
"Brother, this is the right thing for you to wear. It's so stylish. You look like Hong Changqing who came back from Nanyang."
Unfortunately, although the joke is appropriate, cultural barriers still hinder the communication between the two brothers.
"Hong what? Is he a relative of our family?"
Well, Hong Yankang doesn’t understand at all, and is totally out of touch.
Hong Yanwu had no choice but to smile and shake his head.
On the other hand, Hong Yankang was also confused when he saw that Hong Yanwu had already held a cake box in his hand.
"Xiao Wu, what are you...?"
"This is what I bought for the children at home. The 'Jestine' here is the first serious French restaurant in the capital after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the 'Napoleon' is the best here. Our old man also boasts about it himself. I got by..."
After hearing this, of course Hong Yankang quickly touched his pocket.
"Have you paid? I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it..."
Unexpectedly, not to mention the cake, Hong Yanwu actually paid for the rent for half a month since he came here.
After checking out, all he had to do was hand over the room key and get the mortgage check.
As soon as he learned of this situation, Hong Yankang was surprised and immediately objected strongly.
"This...how is this okay? No, no, no..."
Because you must know that he booked a suite. This room costs 200 yuan a day.
If you add the consumption of "RoomService" and "MiniBar", I'm afraid it will cost 4,000 yuan.
That’s a full 10,000 yuan in Hong Kong dollars.
He can't let his relatives' savings over the years be used to entertain him.
Although I received a pair of "Qi Baishi" from Hong Yanwu yesterday.
But he was also worried that the two places were isolated and his family did not realize the economic value of the calligraphy.
He also wanted to find a chance to clarify the matter and return the original thing.
Speaking of which, even if the Hong family’s economic conditions are really good, the mainland is the mainland, right?
The working-class people in Hong Kong only have HK$1,000 per month, and they cannot afford such accommodation expenses.
So even though Hong Yanwu had good reasons, even though he was already home, there was absolutely no reason why he should still spend money on Hong Yankang's food and accommodation.
Hong Yankang also refused to comply and still wanted to return the 10,000 Hong Kong dollars in full.
In the end, the two brothers argued again and again, and Hong Yanwu had no choice but to follow Hong Yankang's side.
"Okay, Brother Yankang, I'm afraid of you. Who makes you my eldest brother's eldest brother, Hong Kong Big Brother. Then it will be as you say. But there is one thing, if you want to give money, you have to I'll give it to you when you get home. I'll be here first..."
Of course Hong Yankang doesn’t understand.
"What are you talking about? I won't be fooled by you. Are you going to regret it when you go back?"
I didn’t expect that Hong Yanwu was really right.
"Brother Yankang, you don't know something. RMB 40 cents to one Hong Kong dollar is the official price. It's a big loss for you to pay in Hong Kong dollars. In fact, you can get 80 cents to one yuan privately. You don't have RMB, do you? If not, just listen to me. of..."
After saying this, Hong Yankang knew the truth, but he couldn't help being shocked.
"Xiao Wu, how can there be such a big gap? Don't fool me..."
"Oh, you still don't believe me? If you don't believe me, you can speak with the facts. How about you go out with me for a walk, just next to us, we can find a boy at random, and you will know..."
At this point, Hong Yankang could only sigh.
"That's true. Then the government's financial management is somewhat ineffective..."
"Hey, how can such a big country be so airtight? Brother Yankang, I have to say hello to you first. I'm going to cleanse you today. My cousin from the Shou family has also agreed to come. Do you have anything else from Hong Kong? If not, I’ll find a way..."
"Yes, Xiaowu, thank you for the reminder, you are thoughtful."
Just as he said this, Hong Yankang saw Chen Liquan walking out of the "Jestine" restaurant again and called him "Brother Yankang".
I bet he and Hong Yanwu also came to pick him up.
And he was followed closely by a restaurant manager and a waiter, each holding a cardboard box.
Looking at the meaning, it is full of drinks and drinks that I just bought, and they are going to be put in the trunk of the car.
Hong Yankang was speechless now.
Because, let alone anything else, Guang saw the two largest bottles in the box held by the manager, with frost hanging on them and gold foil sealing the bottle mouths.
You can tell at a glance that it is the priceless "Champagne King".
No matter how cheap this thing is, it only costs 2,000 yuan, not to mention the hotel’s added price.
Well, he didn't expect his two younger brothers to be so good at spending money. Their spending was no worse than those prodigal sons in Hong Kong.
To be honest, he really had no idea what was happening on the mainland.
After completing all the formalities and getting on the Crown Car, he finally couldn't help but ask.
"You two brothers, aren't you chefs? Why have you become rich? Have you become the new aristocracy after the reform and opening up?"
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan didn't understand, so they asked questions together.
"What new aristocracy?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, just like yuppies. Hong Kong newspapers have introduced that there are a group of people in the mainland who got rich first by making Hong Kong-style clothing, smuggling electronic watches, calculators, and even reselling government approval documents. Home. Are you guys too?"
"There are actually people like this in the hotel where I live. Like those who charge thousands of yuan for a meal, and those who are crazy when they drink. I have seen people who spend money and show off are really awesome. Foreigners Incomparable to Hong Kong and Macao people.”
"In fact, it's no wonder. It's not easy for us to make money outside. People overseas are very frugal. How many of them can eat big meals every day? Even if you have money, you have to spend it wisely, because you are afraid of the economic crisis. There are fluctuations, so it’s better to be emergency in times of recession..."
Hong Yanwu was talking nonchalantly, but unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan both laughed together.
Just listen to what Chen Liquan said.
"Brother Yankang, you are right to say that. In addition to work, we do do some business outside. We are making the Hong Kong-style clothing you mentioned. It can be said that 100% of the products in Beijing are Guangzhou products. Seventy percent of them are brought in by us. But the rest are illegal and we won’t touch them. By the way, if you need any clothes, don’t buy them. Either we will deliver them to you, or you can go to the wholesale place with us. Pick..."
Hong Yankang was really surprised now.
"What? Seventy percent...seventy percent of the Hong Kong-style clothes in the capital are obtained by you?"
Chen Liquan nodded kindly, and then added something.
"The percentage is not so accurate, it is also our own estimate. There are about fifteen or six carriages every month. They are mainly sold in markets such as Xidan, Xiushui, Wangfujing, and Donghuamen. In addition, there are also these clothing markets The rent for subletting the stall..."
Of course Hong Yanwu knew better.
"Quanzi, you haven't heard it yet. Brother Yankang is afraid that we will become dandies and dislike our extravagance and waste."
Then he winked and explained to Hong Yankang.
"Brother, you are right in teaching me a lesson. However, we only do it occasionally. Isn't this taking advantage of you? Let's all be happy together. Anyway, it's okay if we don't waste it. If we all drink it, I don't think it's okay. Count it as a sin."
"To tell you the truth, we also know that the prices here are very low. But the problem is that the capital is not Hong Kong. Apart from here, the only place in the capital where you can buy serious French wine is Maxime, and it is even darker there. Awesome. If you look at it this way, we are actually very prudent..."
All in all, the three brothers gained a deeper understanding along the way than yesterday.
Hong Yanwu and Chen Liquan not only realized the cuteness of this Hong Kong cousin, but also truly felt his concern as an elder brother.
For Hong Yankang, Hong Yanwu's enthusiasm and liveliness, and Chen Liquan's simplicity and kindness all attracted him.
However, their abilities and the things they did surprised him.
If this is true, these two brothers are definitely not mortals. They are much stronger than his half-brothers and sisters.
Can this person be called a **** or a prodigal?
No, people spend their own earned money, and they spend it for the whole family, which is another matter.
It’s also strange. They are obviously descendants of the Hong family, but the eldest and second bedroom are really... ugh!
