Chapter 329 Capitalism is different(2/2)
"It's a rare occasion to go out and bring something back to your family, otherwise the money will be useless."
Lin Chaoyang's understatement made Jin Ying and Li Guowen envious.
"That's great. With so many Hong Kong dollars, you should be able to buy a lot of things, right?"
"It depends on what you buy. If you use this money to buy gold, it may not be as big as your finger." Lin Chaoyang said jokingly.
Jin Ying couldn't help but burst out happy when she heard this, "You are still rich, so you have come to Xiangjiang to buy gold!"
"Comrade Jin Ying, don't you know this? Gold in Xiangjiang is cheaper than in the mainland." Lin Chaoyang said.
Jin Ying was surprised, "Is it cheaper than ours?"
She thought that prices in Xiangjiang were high, so everything was expensive. She didn't expect that the price of gold here was actually lower than in China.
Seeing the two of them talking about gold with great interest, Li Guowen couldn't help but said, "Do you really want to buy gold?"
Jin Ying and Lin Chaoyang looked at each other and laughed. Although gold is good, its practicality is too low. You must bring something useful back.
The three of them went to join the large group and wandered out until dinner time, but no one bought anything.
There is no other reason than that the stuff is too expensive.
A bowl of noodles costs 10.8 Hong Kong dollars, and the subsidy for a visit is only 80 Hong Kong dollars. Even if you want to buy some decent gifts, it's not enough.
Several members of the delegation went out of their way to exchange some Hong Kong dollars before coming. Everyone earned tens to hundreds of Hong Kong dollars, and even after shopping for a long time, they couldn't bring themselves to buy anything.
After walking around the Harbor City in Tsim Sha Tsui, everyone had lost the excitement they had when they first arrived, and felt depressed due to the price of goods in a capitalist society.
Walking outside the mall, Lin Chaoyang pointed to the huge poster hanging outdoors.
"This trip is not in vain, you can visit Miss Xiangjiang!"
Everyone looked up and saw on the facade of Harbor City, a girl with a face full of collagen, fashionable clothes, bright makeup, a hairpin on one finger, and a charming expression.
That was the Miss Hong Kong runner-up and the most photogenic Miss Maggie Cheung selected from the Miss Xiangjiang beauty pageant that just ended.
Her poster attracted the attention of many Xiangjiang citizens, as well as members of the delegation.
Capitalism is different!
