Rebirth of the Financial Crisis Sweeping the World

In the evening, when the family of three returned to Queen's Wharf, they saw Shu Fangping and Shu Jinghan and their mother and daughter eating the simplest dinner on the street.

Kimchi, chili sauce, pickled radish, white rice.

Very frugal, looks sad.

In fact, the milk tea business here at Queen's Wharf is not very good. Sometimes there are more people, but the business is better, and sometimes there is very little.

Shu Fangping's monthly income is not high.

Today, the sales of milk tea are quite small, but the mother and daughter persisted until after 9 pm.

"Let's go buy a cup of milk tea."

"One cup per person and take care of the neighbors."

"let's go"

Then the three asked for three cups of milk tea, said a few words, and left.

When returning home, Mo Yunzhen reminded Wang Guanxi: "Xi Zai, you need to help Shu Jinghan more at school in the future, their mother and daughter life is not easy, I read Shu Fangping probably didn't sell many cups today. milk tea."

"Okay, I see." Wang Guanxi nodded.

In the original book, Fang Ping's mother and daughter lived in public rental housing in the New Territories.

To put it simply, public rental housing is specially rented by the government for the poor, and the annual low-rent housing subsidy expenditure is 10 to 20 billion yuan.

In Hong Kong, housing prices and rents are very expensive. Many people may not be able to rent a house. Therefore, there are many people applying for public rental housing. More than 200,000 people are queuing up to apply for public rental housing. It may take more than 5 years.

The ancestral house only needs thousands of Hong Kong dollars or even a few hundred dollars a month, while the market rent for a house of the same area is more than 5 to 7 times.

For example, in Central District, for a house with a construction area of ​​50 square meters, the market price of rent is more than HK$11,000, while under the same conditions, the rent for public housing may only be HK$2,200!

But in the Shenzhen market in 2008, for 2,000 yuan, you can rent a good house of more than 100 square meters, even 200 square meters.

It can be seen how expensive housing prices and rents are, and how high consumption is.

The rent of public rental housing of the same area is much more expensive than that in Shenzhen, let alone the market rent.

The government's standard for the size of public housing is 16 square meters for single people. Once Shu Fangping brought Shu Jinghan to live in a 16 square meter public rental house in the New Territories.

However, Shu Jinghan's academic performance was very good, and she entered St. Paul's School, but St. Paul's primary and secondary schools are located in the Central and Western District. In order to take care of Shu Jinghan, Shu Fangping gave up the public rental housing in the New Territories, and then moved to Queen's Wharf. live.

The rent for a month in Queens is very expensive. After all, this is a poor area in the Central and Western District, not a poor area in other places.

Because I rented a room with windows, the current rent is HK$6,000 a month.

St. Paul's Co-educational Secondary School implements a dual-track curriculum. The tuition fee for the local course is HK$58,000 per year, and the tuition fee for the International Baccalaureate IB course is HK$87,000 per year. Compared with the tuition fees of many international schools in Hong Kong starting at HK$100,000, the school's tuition fees are still conscientious. Students who are excellent in their studies but from poor families are given high rewards and subsidies, not only scholarships, but also tuition fee waivers.

Shu Jinghan's family is very poor. Her mother sells milk tea, and her monthly income is not high. She belongs to a particularly poor family in Hong Kong. The school has reduced or exempted all her tuition fees and subsidized her some food expenses every month. She gets a scholarship every year.

According to the original historical trajectory, Shu Jinghan was recommended to study at Cambridge University.

His feelings for Shu Jinghan are a bit complicated. He did have a crush on this childhood sweetheart and liked it very much. He didn't want to destroy the pure beauty.

But for him now, that's a long way off.

He had never been together in his last life, and he really regretted it. Now, to be honest, Wang Guanxi is sure that he is more possessive towards her, and he can't tell how he feels.

I like it, I really like it, but if I love it, I really don't have it.

After all, who doesn't like beautiful, temperamental, and excellent girls?

What's more, childhood sweethearts always have a special feeling.

In short, I will never let her go in this life.

"I don't love you now, but I won't let you go"

He is not the kind of person who is obsessed with childhood sweetheart romances and makes up for regrets after rebirth, but simply has a strong possessiveness towards Shu Jinghan and misses the pure childhood sweetheart friendship between the two of them when they were young.

Wang Guanxi thought selfishly: "I will be very good to you, so in this life, you should not go to Cambridge University and stay with me."

Because the school has never allowed her to bring a mobile phone to school, Shu Jinghan has never bought a mobile phone. She goes to school on time every day and goes home on time. Except for the activities organized by the school, she basically seldom goes to play. After thinking about it, Wang Guanxi I plan to give her a mobile phone so that I can get in touch easily.

Of course, with her character, she would probably refuse.

But Wang Guanxi has a way.

So he got up and left the house and went to an iPhone store in Central.

On February 4, 2008, Apple launched a 16GB version of the iPhone, priced at $199. Because Hong Kong is an international free trade port, many products do not have tariffs, but are very cheap.

The price is not expensive, you can also pay in Hong Kong dollars, you can also pay in US dollars, and you can also pay in RMB. If you secretly take 20 16GB iPhones back to the mainland, you will make a small fortune, because the mainland is very expensive.

If you have a relationship, you will definitely get rich.

Then Wang Guanxi bought one and paid $199 directly.

After leaving the store, he came back and bought two more for his parents.

Three sets are less than 600 US dollars, and the current exchange rate of US dollar to Hong Kong dollar is 1:7.7, which is 4,600 Hong Kong dollars.

He then returned to Queen's Wharf.

Shu Jinghan had already closed the stall and was walking back with a bag covered in sweat.

Wang Guanxi quickly followed and said hello: "Hi"

"Hi" Shu Jinghan smiled sideways. Under the light, a bright bead of sweat threw a miniature parabola from her eyebrows and landed on her hand.

Because of the heavy bag, she was panting, and her face was a little red. The single ponytail on her head fell on her wet shoulders.

Much like the girl Lin Xiaolan in [Dinner for Six], Wang Guanxi has seen her in ancient costumes, and her temperament and appearance are very similar to Bai Lingyun, Mrs. Bai in [The Alliance of Counsellors].

"I'll get it for you." Wang Guanxi was about to reach out.

Shu Jinghan took a few steps to the side.

"No, I can do it myself, and it's not heavy"

After chatting for a while, Wang Guanxi took out his mobile phone and said, "This is for you"

"Ah?" Shu Jinghan was stunned for a while, never expecting that Wang Guanxi would suddenly take out a mobile phone and give it to herself.

"No, thank you, I really don't need to"

Wang Guanxi said: "I remember when I was a child, I promised to give you the best-looking mobile phone in the future. You can say yes at that time."

"Take it, ?·"

"This is a promise I made when I was a kid, and it's being implemented now!"

Then Wang Guanxi handed over the phone again.

"Ah? Did you say it? Why don't I remember?" Shu Jinghan recalled, as if there was no such thing.

Wang Guanxi: "You don't remember, but I can remember"

"Fulfill your childhood promises now"

Then Wang Guanxi put the phone directly into her pocket and walked away quickly.

"I really don't need it." Shu Jinghan wanted to catch up, but the bag was heavy, and she was exhausted after a few steps.

"Wang Guanxi!"

Then she put down the bag and ran over, but Wang Guanxi had already entered the community, and the next moment was gone.
