I looked at her and couldn't bear to take my eyes off her face.
She shyly said to me: "Why are you looking at me like this? I have become so ugly."
I shook my head and said, "What's so ugly about you? But it's true that you've lost weight. Hong Ya, why are you doing this? Why do you make yourself so tired?"
She shook her head and said softly: "I'm not tired."
I seemed to understand a little: she was alone overseas, lonely and lonely. I immediately smiled and said: "But it’s okay to lose weight. Many women want to lose weight. If you lose weight, you will look better in clothes."
She smiled and said, "Really?"
Then she stood up and spun her body in front of me, "Does it look good?"
Today, she is wearing a long white skirt. Her skin is relatively fair, which makes her look different. And now her hair has been cut short, which looks great with this skirt.
It made her look a lot more energetic.
I haven't seen her for a long time, so when I saw her for the first time, I felt a little uncomfortable. After all, she had lost a lot of weight. But it's different now. After this brief familiarity, she
Her appearance has completely replaced the image she once had in my mind. Because she is real in front of me at this moment.
I couldn't help but nod, "Yeah. It looks good, so beautiful."
She immediately came over and took my arm, "Let's go to dinner. I'll take you to eat the best food in Melbourne."
I hurriedly said: "You haven't paid for the coffee yet."
She immediately laughed, "Do you think this is in China? In this place, you pay first and then consume."
I smiled sheepishly. At this time, I suddenly remembered something and immediately asked her: "Hong Ya, you didn't pick me up at the exit just now. You just wanted to know if I could still recognize you."
Come on? You don’t want my colleagues to see us meeting, are you afraid it will have a bad impact on me? "
She said softly: "Feng Xiao, I know it's not easy for you to come out this time. You are an official, and Sister Lin also told me that you will have a lot of room for development in the future, so I can't affect your
future."
A feeling of emotion suddenly surged up in my heart, and I immediately put my arms around her waist, "Hong Ya, you and Sister Lin are so kind to me. I really can't repay you."
She turned sideways and glanced at me, her eyes filled with reproach, "Why are you so out of sight?"
I felt a little embarrassed and said hurriedly: "Hongya, what kind of delicious food can we find in Melbourne? The most delicious food is still in China, right?"
She smiled and said: "You are really good at changing the subject. Feng Xiao, do you know how the citizens of Melbourne evaluate their city? They say: Sydney is a charming city, and Melbourne can only be in its shadow."
However, they are famous for their beaches, and we live for food. Listen, this is the capital of food. Today, Melbourne is a holy place sought after by gourmets from all over the world. There are more than 2,000 restaurants in the city selling food from all over the world, and even
Afghan cuisine and African Zulu cuisine, which are relatively rare in other regions, can all be tasted in Melbourne.
Due to the charm of its food, many people compare Melbourne with Paris, France, the capital of food, calling it the Paris of the Southern Hemisphere. Melbourne's food selection is exquisite, its chefs are amazingly skilled, and its restaurants with a nostalgic atmosphere are even more tempting.
In Melbourne, it's not easy to wait for a table at chef Shannon Bennett's restaurant. Bennett is a native Melburnian. His specialty is a fish soup he prepares. He first combines fish and shell meat.
Heat the mixture in a glass coffee pot, then pour the liquid into the bowl of lobster pate and buffalo meat.
Melbourne has many famous eating places, and Banks Street is famous for its unique cafe culture. Diners can enjoy delicious food while admiring the view of the Yarra River. Among them, the tram restaurant is a local tourist attraction and is very popular among tourists at home and abroad.
.
Sitting on the antique tram, tourists can enjoy delicious food while enjoying the street view. This is currently the oldest tram in the world and the only tram restaurant.
In addition, there are the famous Chinatown, Greek Street and Italian Street in Melbourne. Here you can taste delicacies from China, Australia, Britain, Italy, France, Germany, Greece and many other countries around the world. Among them, restaurants in Chinatown
It encompasses almost all the flavors of China. Wanshou Palace is known as the best Chinese restaurant in Australia, and the Cantonese cuisine there attracts diners from all over the world."
I smiled and said, "You are really a good tour guide. It seems you are very familiar with this city."
She said very proudly: "Of course. I have been in Australia for a year."
At this time we had already left the airport, and she was walking towards the parking lot with me. It was obvious that she drove here today. I asked her: "Weren't you in Europe before? Why did you suddenly think of coming here?
Already?"
She answered me: "I used to travel mainly in Europe and also examine the investment market. Then I finally decided to invest in Australia. Because Australia has one of the most open, stable and trustworthy economies in the world.
one.
Australia has long been a stable democracy, with an economy with high growth rates, low inflation rates, low interest rates, highly competitive economic sectors and a highly specialized workforce.
In addition, Australia is very rich in mineral resources and is an important producer and exporter of mineral resources in the world. Australia is the world's largest producer of bauxite, alumina, diamonds, and lead, and the largest producer of bituminous coal, bauxite, and lead.
It is an exporter of diamonds, zinc and concentrates, the second largest exporter of alumina, iron ore and uranium ore, and the third largest exporter of aluminum and gold.
Australia has developed agriculture and animal husbandry, and is known as the ‘country riding on the back of a sheep’. It is the world’s largest exporter of wool and beef. So I came here to invest in real estate.”
I was startled: Just now she was talking about the mineral resources, wool, beef and so on here, why did she suddenly switch to real estate? At this time, I almost laughed: Why do Chinese people like it so much now?
Real estate? You actually came to this foreign country to engage in this business.
So I was a little surprised, "Real estate? Why do you think of coming here to do real estate?"
She said: "Because Melbourne has been rated as the most livable city in the world many times. Melbourne is the capital of Victoria and the second largest city in Australia. It is known as the Garden City.
Since the supply of new housing in this place has been exceeding demand for a long time, house prices will definitely continue to rise in the next few years. I have analyzed data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics and found that Melbourne has had the fastest population growth among all Australian cities in recent years.
, the growth of population requires the construction of more houses.
According to the Housing Minister of the Australian federal government, by 2020, Australia will have a shortage of hundreds of thousands of residential houses. The tight supply of housing will inevitably push up the price of housing rentals, and will also push up
The rapid growth of house prices. In addition, for the current house prices in Melbourne, there is still a lot of room for growth.
Nowadays, Melbourne’s housing prices are relatively low compared to other Australian big cities, so many new immigrants choose Melbourne as their first choice city to land in Australia.
Experts predict that in the near future, Melbourne's population will surpass Sydney and become the most populous city in Australia. By then, Melbourne's housing prices will increase significantly. In addition, investing in Melbourne residences can provide long-term and stable rental income.
.
As the population continues to increase, the supply of new housing exceeds demand. The vacancy rate of rental housing in Melbourne is now less than one percent. It can be said that it is difficult to find a rental housing in Melbourne. Many tenants would rather rent a house first.
Pay half a year's rent, some even a year's rent.
In some places, there are even auctions for the right to rent houses, and only those who are willing to pay the highest rent can rent a house. Haha! It’s not just me, many of us Chinese are investing in real estate here now.”
I smiled and said: "No wonder I found that in addition to the English signs in this airport, there are our Chinese signs. It turns out that we Chinese are the big bosses here. By the way, Hong Ya, is the real estate development here easy? Handling related matters
Are the procedures complicated?”
She smiled and said: "It's very simple, as long as you have money. But I don't do development here, I just invest in real estate, and then sell it when the price rises, and also use part for rent. Judging from the current situation, the income is still
Very good. By the way, Feng Xiao, didn’t you say you also wanted to invest here?”
I asked her with a smile: "It's not that I want to invest here, it's that the money I have is of little use at the moment. But I don't have much money." (To be continued)
