You must know that in the Republic of this era, hotels were far less common than they are today.
The biggest requirement for people traveling away from home is cleanness and safety.
The standard configuration of most guest rooms in mainland hotels is actually quite simple.
A kettle, a washbasin, a single bed, a set of bedding, and a bedside table.
But even in this kind of place, not everyone can live in it, because it is called a single room, and only those with a bachelor's degree or above can enjoy the benefits.
Most people still have to live in one room, and often seven or eight people sleep in one room.
The only thing worthy of praise is that people at this time are very friendly.
What are we talking about? Let’s chat? Let’s smoke cigarettes together and drink wine together.
So Shui Qing couldn't believe that such a luxurious and elegant place, which was more comfortable than home, was actually for tourists.
At this time, I finally couldn't help but ask.
"Xiao Wu, don't they say that the conditions of the hotel are not good? How can there be a place like this? Let me tell you, this place is almost up to the standards of a state guesthouse? Are we just allowed to live here casually?"
Hong Yanwu said, "Hey, where is this? Flower City. The front line of reform. Not far away are Hong Kong and Shenzhen. There are not many officials here, but there are more and more overseas Chinese and Hong Kong businessmen. The hotels in this city are almost
It is dedicated to serving them. As long as you can afford it, you can stay there. In fact, even our 'Jianguo Hotel' in Beijing is similar in nature to this place. This is called 'targeting economic development', and this is the future development.
Direction. When I have time when I get back, I will take you there once and you will know."
Shui Qing thought for a while, couldn't help but said "Ah", and then asked.
"Then a place like this must be very expensive. How much does it cost to stay for one night?"
But Hong Yanwu didn't talk about it, he only used two words to deal with it.
"Confidentiality."
"Ah? Why can't you say it?"
Shui Qing immediately blinked in confusion.
Hong Yanwu has his own reasons.
"Then you still need to ask? You will definitely feel it's not worth it and you'll be unhappy if you know it. I'm here to make you happy, so wouldn't it be counterproductive? So don't ask how much it cost, as long as you and our daughter like it.
good."
"But……"
Shui Qing swallowed back the second half of the sentence.
How could she not understand Hong Yanwu's feelings?
Who wouldn’t like such comfort and luxury?
But the problem is that the education she has received since childhood and the ideology she has formed long ago seem to tell her that this is wrong. This is the decadent lifestyle of a class enemy, and she must beware of the depravity of human nature.
It is inevitable that she will have feelings of resistance and self-blame in her heart.
And the more Hong Yanwu said this, the more she thought about it, and she couldn't help but guess the price of the room.
...Well, the purchaser at the factory said that the best hotel room they had ever stayed in cost 25 yuan.
It's definitely not as good as here?
Is it possible that it costs fifty or seventy yuan to stay here for a day?
Oops, it can’t be that exaggerated, right?
This is a worker’s monthly salary...
Hong Yanwu could see Shui Qing's mood from the change in her expression. He knew what she was thinking without her having to say anything, and immediately smiled.
"Look, I haven't told you yet. Are you already feeling unhappy? I knew you would be like this..."
And after saying this, I started to feel relieved again.
"To be honest, I can't afford to live in the past. But haven't times changed now? Don't forget, poverty is not socialism. Our country must always develop in the direction of prosperity. Otherwise, how can we achieve our ultimate goal?
'?As one of the few who got rich first, we are actually taking advantage of the country's fortune. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to make money."
"Think about it again, doesn't this high-end hotel represent the healthy development of the economy? Poor places don't need this. In fact, no matter what the current price is, don't think it's too expensive. I dare say that with the development of society, in the future
Prices here will continue to rise, because once people get rich, they will want to go out and gain experience. As the economy prospers, more and more people will travel for business."
"At that time, there will be more and more people who want to stay in five-star hotels, and more and more hotels will be built. There will be so many that they are everywhere. Thousands of dollars a day will be nothing.
There are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and you will definitely experience it one day..."
Unexpectedly, at this point, he had gradually deviated from the point, which actually caused Shui Qing to object.
"You're talking nonsense, I don't believe it. Who would live in such a high house price? What you said is so outrageous, you're bragging to the sky..."
So Hong Yanwu quickly braked in time and returned to the theme.
"It doesn't matter if you don't believe it. In fact, in essence, this problem is still the same as when we went to Lao Mo's for dinner. The reason that makes you uneasy and worried is whether it is better to be frugal or luxurious."
"My attitude is still the same, do what you can and do it occasionally. I think as long as you do this, there is no need for you to be awkward."
"Can't we spend the money we earn openly? What's more, this is our 'honeymoon'. Shouldn't we live a better life and create more beautiful memories? I think, even if it is more luxurious,
There’s nothing wrong with it. Just don’t waste it.”
"Besides, this hotel also includes our country's investment. If no one stays in it, then the country will not lose money? Are we still contributing to the country? This is called promoting consumption. We cannot let the people of our country stay in this hotel.
Is it on the level of "Chen Huansheng Goes to Town"?"
"Also, the most important thing is, don't forget, my money is just for you. Now that I have made money, I naturally want to give you the best life enjoyment. On the contrary, you can rest assured. If you really want to fight
When I return home, I guarantee that I can continue to live the same life as before with you. As long as I am with you, I will eat big pickled radish and steamed buns, and they will be as sweet as honey..."
"Pfft", Shui Qing finally smiled.
She thought about it. How could Hong Yanwu ever value money more than people?
And in his daily life, he has never been wanton and extravagant.
What's more, with the wealth he possesses, he can really afford to spend this money, so why worry about it?
He should be believed to be...
"Look at you, how can you speak so many truths and contribute to the country even with money? I can't compare to you. However, how could I have wronged you so much? Who still eats steamed buns now? It's all rice.
It’s white flour. Why do you say that I’m like ‘Grandet’? Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you, okay? Humph, after I go back, I’ll eat my own steamed buns, and I’ll make sure you have wine and meat for every meal. Mine
Young Master..."
Shui Qing's words were meant as a joke, which was enough to prove that the knot in her heart had been resolved.
But I didn't expect that Hong Yanwu was a person who could shine brightly when given a little sunshine, so he really climbed up the ladder.
"You are wrong again, I am the third young master, and the eldest young master is my eldest brother..."
Hey, Shui Qing's teeth are itching with hatred, and I really want to pinch him.
