A group of people gathered around Liu Lang and his family and got into a luxurious van. The luggage of Liu Lang and his family were put in another car. They had not eaten in the morning, so Huo Yingnan acted as the host and pulled them to one place.
It was a very unique restaurant. Although it was for breakfast, he still booked a private room. In a short time, the table was filled with xiaolongbao, pan-fried buns, fish ball soup, rice rolls, egg waffles, etc., all of which were from Hong Kong.
The island’s specialty snacks are very authentic.
After breakfast, everyone took the car to Taiping Mountain. Not far from the Huo Family Villa was the mansion prepared for Liu Lang.
This villa covers an area larger than that of the Huo family. It is considered the best mansion in the surrounding area. It is worth two million US dollars. This price is not something that ordinary rich people can easily afford in today's Hong Kong Island. It covers an area of four square meters.
There is a spacious yard of more than 100 square meters, with a swimming pool in the middle of the yard.
A three-story building of nearly 500 square meters, this villa has nine rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms and fitness rooms. There is also a small cinema that can accommodate ten people, and it is also equipped with three garages.
Not only is it large in size, it is also very luxuriously decorated from the inside out.
This villa has just been built for ten years. The previous owner was a British man. Last year, Britain and China signed an agreement on the return of Hong Kong Island. He put the house on the market for $2.3 million, which is a very high price.
, it is considered the most expensive property on Hong Kong Island.
Later, Huo Yingnan negotiated with the other party several times and sold it for 1.8 million US dollars. He then spent another 300,000 US dollars to renovate it from the inside out. The property title was signed by Liu Lang, although it was not the same as 30 million US dollars.
The U.S. dollar can't compare, but at least it can give Huo Yingnan some peace of mind.
Huo Yingnan also hired three servants, the so-called Filipino servants, all in their forties. Two of them cleaned the house and one cooked.
"Liu Lang, you guys have been tired from traveling and traveling, so you should rest at home first. I will be the host at noon to take care of you!"
People from the Huo family, Sun family and Lin family left one after another. Ye Jinsheng, Lu Xiaoguang and Shao Ming stayed behind. The three of them had to report their work.
Liu Lang was sitting in the spacious living room. Huo Yingnan had indeed spent a lot of money to please Liu Lang. The interior decoration of the villa was not just luxurious. It adopted a style with ancient Chinese characteristics. On both sides of the living room,
There are also two porcelain vases placed in a corner, which look like they should be genuine. After all, the Huo family made their fortune in real estate, so they have the most say in the house. In addition, Liu Lang is also interested in ancient Chinese culture. The "China Street" in Wangfujing
The design amazes all designers.
Liu Donglai and his wife liked this place very much, but they were uncomfortable with the three Filipino maids. When they were handed a cup of tea, they both stood up to express their gratitude. This behavior scared the other party. They were servants and it was natural for them to serve their masters.
.
For China twenty years later, Filipino maids are synonymous with the Philippines, just like when people think of Germany, they think of Mercedes-Benz and BMW. However, in the 1980s, even in Hong Kong, there were not too many Filipino maids.
In the 1970s, there were only a few hundred Filipino maids on Hong Kong Island. They were mainly employed by British and American families living in Hong Kong. In the 1980s, with the rapid economic development of Hong Kong Island, a large number of Filipino women came in because of poverty.
, few of them
Although they have received education, these people are able to endure hardships and are very careful. The most suitable job for them is domestic work. A small salary can satisfy them. As more and more Filipinos come in, the reputation of Filipino maids also increases.
It is getting bigger and bigger. By the 21st century, the number of Filipino maids on Hong Kong Island has reached 150,000. At the same time, the mainland's economy continues to improve, and Filipino maids have begun to develop "long-term". As a result, they have become the largest export earner in the Philippines.
"commodity".
But now, there are still very few Filipino maids. Only the rich in Hong Kong will hire them, as they are a symbol of status.
“Capitalism is so…!”
Liu Donglai and his wife are really not used to this kind of life of "exploiting" others.
These three Filipino maids are all women, their names are Nasa, Salvador and Lopez respectively. They have a very Spanish style. Even though their appearance is a standard Asian face, this is the result of Spanish rule. All three of them can say
Some English is about the same level as Liu Donglai and his wife, and they can barely communicate.
Liu Lang didn't really like having others serve him, but this was Huo Yingnan's wish. He couldn't send them away now. He was leaving tomorrow anyway, so the three of them could stay here and clean the room every day.
"Brother Ye, I think you seem to have something on your mind. What's wrong? Is there a problem with your career?"
Ye Jinsheng's career has flourished since he arrived in Hong Kong Island. Logically speaking, he should be in high spirits, but Liu Lang noticed that something was wrong with his mood, and he must have something on his mind.
"Liu Lang, I really can't hide anything from you. Yes, I've been a little upset lately!"
"What's the matter? Tell me!"
Liu Lang picked up the hot tea made by the Filipino maid and poured a cup for each of Ye Jinsheng, Lu Xiaoguang and Shao Ming. The relationship between them was very close, and there was no need to be so polite.
"In the past six months, I have produced two reality shows, which are very popular. They are the highest-rated programs on TVB. They have launched many celebrities, such as Liu Fuhua, Li Tianming and Cui Jun. They are all very popular in Hong Kong Island now!
"
"That's right, those two programs are called "A Day in the Life of a Star" and the other is called "I Want to Be a Star". Every time they are broadcast, they are packed with people!"
Shao Ming hurriedly said at the side that he and Lu Xiaoguang had been eye-opening in Hong Kong for more than half a year. They deeply felt the luxurious life of "capitalist society". The rich and colorful life could not be compared with the mainland. They even felt that
This is where they should stay.
Of course, Liu Lang doesn't care about their personal lives, as long as you do your job well. They do a very good job in this regard. Shao Ming is in charge of all operations of the company, and Lu Xiaoguang is in charge of the design and drawing of comics. Although Liu Lang said that the two
People are on the same level, but Shao Ming is very special
With his business acumen, he made friends with many officials and wealthy businessmen, and gradually became stronger. However, Lu Xiaoguang did not express dissatisfaction. He had studied painting since he was a child, and already had some artist's temperament. He didn't pay much attention to those social contacts. The cooperation between the two
Still perfect.
Liu Lang didn't say much about the relationship between them. Everyone has different abilities. All he has to do is let everyone do their part and cooperate with each other to complete the work. Shao Ming is good at communication. This ability can make Shengtang faster.
For better development, Lu Xiaoguang focuses on technology. As long as they don't engage in internal strife inside and outside, there will be no problem.
