Chapter 413 Chatting in Hong Kong
416, Xiangjiang Chat
If the Magic City under the night can be said to be full of lights and wine, then the current Xiangjiang under the night can be said to be "turbulent". Once the public housing policy is released, the artists in Xiangjiang are the most affected.
Some people may say that it is a problem of real estate. Why are the artists in Xiangjiang the most affected?
This has to start with the "financial management" of Xiangjiang artists.
Since the 1980s, the film and television industry in Xiangjiang has been booming, reaching its peak in the 1990s. But the good times did not last long. The shoddy Xiangjiang films were soon blasted out of Hollywood's backyard.
Almost at the same time, the unemployment rate of artists in Xiangjiang can be said to be "the highest in the world". Many people wonder why this is the case?
Because the artists in Xiangjiang are the same as those in other places. After they become famous, the first thing they do is to buy luxury houses, luxury cars, and buy all kinds of things.
But they have never thought about a disadvantage, what will they use to pay for these in the future? You should know that the property fees in Hong Kong are not cheap. In the past, the annual property fees for a house worth hundreds of millions in Hong Kong might be as high as one million.
The maintenance of luxury cars is even more expensive. Some people had several Mercedes-Benz cars in their prime. But why do they live in public housing in their old age?
We have to talk about the second hobby of Hong Kong people.
"Stock speculation"
It is well known that Hong Kong people like to speculate in stocks. From the age of 88 to 8, they may not know some common sense questions, but they can talk about stocks.
Although it is exaggerated, the reality is that almost all adults in Hong Kong have been exposed to stock speculation or "spinach", which is related to the four major financial groups in Hong Kong before.
They constantly throw out "bait" to make the group of leeks in Hong Kong crazy. Everyone dreams of getting rich overnight. Under this kind of propaganda, they can harvest leeks to their heart's content.
Even after experiencing several stock market crashes, Hong Kong people still don't give up. Why? This is to say that the means of the four major financial groups are so clever.
Under the high housing prices, ordinary people cannot afford to buy houses in several lifetimes unless they become rich overnight. So they can only use their decades of savings to enter the stock market or go to Macau County to "take a chance on turning a bicycle into a motorcycle".
You should know that in the 1990s, the average salary was only about 3,000-6,000, but the housing prices in the 1990s were already calculated at tens of thousands per square meter, not to mention that by 1997, the urban area of Hong Kong had already reached hundreds of thousands per square meter.
So why is it said that ordinary people can't afford to buy houses in Hong Kong unless they become rich overnight. This is the fundamental reason why so many people in Hong Kong like to speculate in stocks and go to Macau County.
Ordinary people love to speculate in stocks, and artists love it even more. After becoming famous, many artists also learn from the four major consortiums to open companies and want to cut leeks.
But they sadly found that they were just high-level leeks. At the end of the 1990s, after the decline of Hong Kong movies, many artists who were engaged in business lost all their money and could not get movies after returning to work. They had no income and could only keep selling houses and cars to pay off their debts.
A small number of smart people, after seeing the market in mainland China, have turned to the mainland market to make money. Unfortunately, many people still think about the "old ways" of the previous consortiums.
But how could the Chinese government allow such a thing to happen? So after a one-size-fits-all approach, the fate of these businessmen will be even worse.
Until now, many people are thinking of using the "bet" agreement to take a gamble. But the people in China are not fools. You want to sell feelings with something from 20 years ago?
Are you fooling fools? So after the failure of both word of mouth and box office, some of them chose to work to pay off their debts, while others left the stage sadly.
Unfortunately, they are destined not to be able to stay out of trouble this time.
This reform of Hong Kong real estate is the last straw that broke the camel's back. The last barrier house in the hands of many artists has become a chicken rib at this time.
Unlike the company in Hong Kong Moji, the construction unit in mainland China is known as the "infrastructure maniac". The person in charge of Huaxia Construction this time even claimed that he would make all places in Hong Kong connected to the subway within two and a half years.
The most important thing is that in the next three years, 100,000 public housing units will be put into the market. This has given many people at the bottom of Hong Kong hope.
Finally, everyone doesn't have to squeeze into a small room.
After hearing the news, some families were happy and some were sad. The people at the bottom were very happy, and those in the middle who were carrying mortgages were dumbfounded. As soon as the news came out, the housing prices dropped in half.
They were so scared that they wanted to sell their houses immediately, but no one was willing to take over at this time. The three major consortiums (the Li family has gone bankrupt) had no opinion on this, but quietly shifted their focus to the mainland of China.
Are you kidding? Now you still want to learn to be a banana man like the Li family before? Everyone has seen the end of that. They are not stupid, so they naturally know what to choose.
With the "help" of Tang Wen, the Guo family has come to the mainland to start construction. Guo Yi listened to Tang Wen's advice. This time, not only did they develop real estate, but they also opened a lot of factories, helping to solve a lot of jobs in the local area.
Such an attitude was naturally "well received", and the other two companies also began to follow suit.
The "battle for survival" of the three major financial groups gave many Hong Kong businessmen hope, and everyone began to invest in mainland China in a tacit understanding.
After coming here, the Hong Kong businessmen found that the various indicators of the Chinese mainland have far exceeded those of Hong Kong. It is more suitable to do business here than in Hong Kong. As the word spreads, more and more people begin to develop in the Chinese mainland.
Under such a wave, the artists in Hong Kong have no way to express their suffering.
You should know that there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of students graduating from art colleges in China every year. These people need "opportunities" after graduation.
However, these "old predecessors" no longer have any "advantages" to speak of. In this era of self-media development, what school beauties and what goddesses are flying around. Their advantages are really nothing to show off except eating old capital.
The most important thing is that their age is there. There are endless flowers and grasses now. Even under the salary cap and some restrictions, there are still many men and women who are eager to become famous to join this team.
You should know that Xiao Wang's "Goddess" column has just started registration, and there are already more than 100,000 registrations, and it is still increasing every day.
When Tang Wen chatted with Xiao Wang before, he said something.
"China has never lacked beautiful goddesses, it just depends on whether she has the opportunity to show her face."
Tang Wen agrees with this very much. Take the women in his school, whether it is Tang Wanru from the Finance College, or Wang Rong and Xie Zhiqing from the school, they are all top beauties.
This is still the beauty from Tang Wen's poor school. You have to know how many beauties there are in the whole university of China? This does not include high school. So don't complain about not being able to find a beauty, in fact, it is because you are not "strong enough".
You have to drive a Lamborghini to the university town and the pedestrian street for a walk. If you can't find a girlfriend, then...
(Don't look for a girlfriend, being a single dog is also good.)
Under the general environment, many artists from Hong Kong once again embarked on the journey of making money in mainland China.
