Chapter 1195: Mid-Levels Mansion

Xiao Peng waved his hand at the young men and made a goodbye gesture: "My friends, it is not necessarily the rich man who drives the luxury car, it may be the driver."
The two people left the snack bar with the shocked expressions of a group of young people.
Guo Sihua didn't know what happened, but before he left, he was happy to see the bowls and dishes in front of Xiao Peng: "Brother Xiao, it seems that you like these snacks very much?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "It really tastes good, it suits my taste."
Guo Sihua blinked: "Or I bought this store and opened it to Qindao?"
Xiao Peng smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, Jiangnan is orange and Jiangbei is trifoliate. The specialty snacks can only be tasted locally. Whenever I want to eat, I just fly over and have a meal."
Guo Sihua gave a thumbs up: "This is the one who can eat. Let's go. Let's get in the car and go to my house. My father has been waiting for a long time to drive after hearing the news from you."
Xiao Peng said: "Then let's go, by the way, do you set up a banquet in the hotel or do it at home?"
Guo Sihua drove the door and asked Xiao Peng to get in the car: "Although my father was accepting Western learning at a young age, he is still very traditional. He prefers the feeling of being together in the whole family. So we held it at home."
Xiao Peng stooped into the car: "It's pretty good. It's interesting to say that Hong Kong Island. Although it has been managed by the UK for so many years, many traditions are well maintained."
Guo Sihua sat in the cab: "You are right. It may be because of being ruled by the British for a long time, so everyone does not want to forget their roots. Many Chinese traditions are well maintained here."
Many people think that Hong Kong Island is a cultural desert. Under the long-term rule of the British, the people here are different from the Chinese people. In fact, this is wrong.
Although Hong Kong Island is a modern metropolis, no matter how the society evolves and develops, many traditional customs have been maintained, such as the Spring Festival, eating rice dumplings to race the dragon boat, dancing fire dragons, eating moon cakes and admiring the moon. And here has not gone through the various storms and sports of the past few decades, many traditions have been preserved. It is no exaggeration to say that the Guangdong culture preserved on Hong Kong Island is better than that of Guangdong.
"Well, where is your home?" Xiao Peng asked.
Guo Sihua said lightly: "It's my father's home. It's in the mid-levels."
Xiao Peng whistled: "The rich man."
House prices on Hong Kong Island are among the best in the world, and they are rising every day. Most people want to buy a house on Hong Kong Island? It's no different from dreaming.
Every Hong Kong Islander’s dream is to one day buy a ‘thousand-foot mansion’. It sounds very big. In fact, their 10.8-square-foot mansion is only one square meter, and a thousand-foot mansion is more than 90 square meters.
This house is not big, but not everyone can afford it. It costs about 21,000 feet in the surrounding area, and the price is more expensive near the center. A house of 90 square meters is more than 20 million. What is that? Can anyone afford it?
Just like when Stephen Chow invested in real estate, he spent tens of millions on buying a small shop the size of a ping-pong table in the bustling area, which cost tens of millions. As a result, he made a lot of money after selling it a few years later. How expensive are housing prices on Hong Kong Island!
And on Baijia Road, Taipingshan, those who can live here are even the richest among the rich.
There are no high-rise apartments in Barker Road. Want to rent here? Renting 300,000 yuan a month, the property management fee is 20,000 yuan, and a one-year rent of 3.8 million yuan must be paid at once, and no furniture is provided! And want to buy a house here? The cheap apartment here is one million one square meter! Those who live here are all top local tyrants, such as Li Ka-shing, Papa Ma, Twisted Teng, Li Zhaoji, Liu Luanxiong, Yang Ka-shing, Guo Bingxiang. . . . . . Anyone who came out was a well-known big man.
For example, Papa Ma's mansion at No. 22 Barker Road has a total price of 1.5 billion yuan, the second highest in the world; and Li Ka-shing's bulletproof mansion with a market value of 700 million yuan. . . . . . Of course, it's not that Li Ka-shing can't afford to spend money, it's that people's house is earlier.
By the way, this bulletproof mansion seems useless. After the billionaire Zhang Ziqiang kidnapped Li Zeju, he entered the bulletproof mansion with a bomb on his body, and left after taking a billion ransom. (At that time, Guo Bingxiang was still alive and Zhang Ziqiang was and paid a ransom of 600 million. The two cases together set a record for kidnapping money on Hong Kong Island.)
But there is something interesting here. There are not many entertainment stars in Mid-Levels. Even if there are, they live in apartment buildings instead of villas. In addition to price factors, this is because these Mid-Levels luxury houses basically refuse celebrities to settle in.
There is a paparazzi if there are stars, and the all-pervasive paparazzi will affect the daily life of the owners of mid-levels luxury homes in Barka Road. Star residents are not allowed to be sufficiently private and superior, while enjoying the vanity of the city's highest wealth circle. In the hearts of Hong Kong Islanders, the house number of Barker Road can tell everything. "Living in Mid-Levels" is the representative of "Hong Kong Island Dream". The Guo family must live here in a mansion with a detached house, it cannot be an apartment house. So it's really not Xiao Peng's blind polite to say that his family is "rich".
Guo Sihua smiled bitterly: "Brother Xiao, if someone says this sentence, I think it is from the heart, but why do you say this sentence so uncomfortable to me? Only the struggle of two generations of my family has become like this, you It’s been so big in just a few years, and I can’t make money faster than you can. But you can invest here. I invested in a few units here. The land is very good. It belongs to the one who sells one and one less. I have been holding scarce properties for a long time by renting and selling on behalf of them. It is a very good investment."
Xiao Peng shook his head: "I really don't want to be so tired to make money. When the fortune comes, I want to hide and can't avoid it. It's boring if the fortune doesn't come."
After Guo Sihua heard it, it was like scolding Xiao Peng. You make money so easily and so quickly, saying this now? To put it more ugly is ‘I’ve eaten Dengcao ash, I put light fart’! Are you afraid of being beaten when others hear what you say?
Xiao Peng looked around, "Brother Guo, take me to the shopping mall first!"
Guo Sihua was puzzled: "Why are you going to the shopping mall?"
Xiao Peng said, "I'm going to buy a set of clothes, and buy some gifts for the old man by the way. Don't all parties like this require suits and shoes?"
Guo Si laughed after hearing the joke: "It's not as formal as you think. It's just a family dinner together and a few good friends come to join in the fun. It doesn't have to be so troublesome. We just go back directly!"
Since he had said so, Xiao Peng did not refuse, and drove to Taiping Mountain with Guo Sihua.
When we arrived at Guo's house, we had already prepared for it, and the guests were all here. . . . . . Play majiang?
This is also an interesting place on Hong Kong Island. Before such a banquet, a mahjong board will be set up for people to play cards for entertainment. Some young people are playing mahjong and pushing Pai Gow outside, and there is a bet on the table. At least there is no uncle police here to take the bet.
As soon as Guo Sihua parked the car, a girl in a suit and skirt ran over: "Mr. Guo, your second uncle is here..."
Guo Sihua frowned when he heard it. He was going to take Xiao Peng directly to see the old man, but after hearing the girl say this, he stopped: "Brother Xiao, in this way, I will deal with some things first. This is my assistant Lin Da, she called you just now, and asked her to take you here for a while, and later I will look for you after I settle the matter."
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "You are busy with you, Miss Linda, then I will trouble you."
Obviously it is Chinese people who insist on foreign names, tusk. . . . . .
"Mr. Xiao, you are polite!" Linda bowed to Xiao Peng. As Guo Sihua's assistant, she knew Xiao Peng was Guo Sihua's distinguished guest, so she was very polite.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Don't be polite to each other, Brother Guo, you are busy with you!"
Guo Sihua apologized and left directly. Xiao Peng curiously asked, "Linda, what's the situation with Guo Ge and his second uncle?"
Linda apologized after hearing this: "Mr. Xiao, I know that you are a distinguished guest of Mr. Guo, but... I can't talk about the employer's family behind the scenes, I hope you will be considerate."
Xiao Peng gave a thumbs up: "You are a competent assistant. I blame me for this. You shouldn't ask about it. Let's go and show me a tour!"
Led by Linda, Xiao Peng made a circle in the courtyard of the Guo family. To be honest, this house is really not very big. The three-story villa has a courtyard of 700 square meters outside. It sounds very big, but in fact, it takes more than two acres of land including the villa and garden. Such a villa in the mainland can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized villa.
But in a place like Mid-Levels with an inch of gold, the price of such a villa is scary.
There are a variety of card games in the garden, and there are many gameplays Xiao Peng can't do. I can't see that Linda is a city, and I will explain various card games to Xiao Peng there.
The two people walking around in the yard attracted a lot of people's eyes--it was really Xiao Peng who wore too "unique". The men here are all suits and leather shoes, and the women are all dresses and skirts. Only Xiao Peng wanders around here in a white sports suit. It's hard not to look at him.
However, after calculating their backs and pointing to Xiao Peng, people would not show it on their faces.
On occasions like this, even if you scold ‘cao mud horse’ in your stomach, you still have to smile. This is called ‘social etiquette’. And Xiao Peng is next to Linda. They all know that it is Guo Sihua’s assistant. Seeing Linda’s attitude towards Xiao Peng, they know that Xiao Peng has a background, and he hides when he doesn’t like it. Go talk to Xiao Peng.
But no one does not mean Xiao Peng does not mean that no one ignores Linda: "Oh, Linda, my love, I finally found you."
Xiao Peng followed the sound, where did the third brother come from?
