"..."
As soon as the question came out, everyone on the stage looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.
The official accompanying staff member was experienced and immediately picked up the microphone and said with a smile: "The prosperity of Hong Kong is obvious to all. It can develop to this level rapidly in twenty years, which is inseparable from the hard work of the Hong Kong people. Nowadays, the relationship between the two places is getting stronger day by day. I hope
There can be more cooperation in economic and trade."
The reporter at the bottom didn't buy it and asked: "Then why do you think Hong Kong is like what it is today?"
"As I said just now, this is inseparable from the self-struggle of Hong Kong people."
"What about other than that?"
"Of course, there are also changes in the international environment, economic and trade opening up, and Hong Kong has its own industrial base, which allows it to strengthen export trade."
"Then don't you think there are institutional factors?"
The official frowned. They had many opportunities to go out, and reporters outside especially liked to ask political questions, such as floods and systems. When encountering such situations, they would often say some correct clichés or interrupt.
But they were not the organizers and could not overstep their authority, so they hinted at Fu Qi.
Fu Qi also had experience, and when he was about to speak, a voice suddenly interrupted and said: "Hong Kong is indeed very prosperous, it opened my eyes..."
Um?
He turned his head and saw that Chen Qi had picked up the phone at some point and said calmly: "After we checked into the hotel yesterday, I went out for a walk in the evening and wanted to eat something. I randomly entered a small shop and had a bowl.
The noodles cost ten yuan, and I was so scared that I backed out.
In mainland China, a bowl of Yangchun noodles costs 8 cents, and adding vegetables and meat costs 2 cents. I really want to try what that bowl is called... Oh, chop suey noodles!
Unfortunately, I am short of money and cannot afford to eat.
I just thought that Hong Kong’s material conditions are indeed rich and diverse, much better than ours.”
So awkward!
The reporter reacted for a second. Is this mainland boy being weird? He immediately retorted: "The average monthly income of Hong Kong families is already 3,000 yuan. I heard that you only earn a few dozen yuan a month?"
"Yes, yes, our income is low and we have many children. It is really not easy for some families to support five people with only the father's income.
Fortunately, the prices are quite cheap. Fried dough sticks cost 4 cents a piece and weigh half a pound. Old hens cost 1 yuan 3 per catty. Hairy crabs cost 70 cents per catty. It doesn’t cost much to go to school and see a doctor. It’s just that the housing is a bit poor... ugh
, right!”
Chen Qi leaned forward and asked the reporter below: "I heard that your house price is 1,000 yuan per square foot (about 9 square meters), and a 400-square-foot house costs 300,000 yuan. According to the income standard you mentioned, I
Do the math, hey, you have to go without food or drink for 8 or 9 years to buy a house!
We are even worse off, with a simple environment, and several people squeeze into one house. Fortunately, we don’t have to buy it. The unit gives us points, so we just need to pay some rent. For example, my parents’ house is about 200 square feet, and we pay 2.5 yuan a month.
dime.
Seeing as you are not very young, when will you buy a house?"
puff!
Everyone on the stage lowered their heads and covered their mouths, fearing they couldn't help laughing.
Fu Qi had no scruples and immediately burst into laughter.
The reporter's face turned red and white, but again, the truth hurts the most! He really couldn't afford a house. Although he worked a glamorous job as a reporter, in fact he had to pay expensive rent every month.
He had long forgotten that he was asking about institutional issues.
In this situation, you don’t have to answer questions. Don’t follow the other person’s lead, just do it.
When other tabloid reporters saw that the mainland guy was too arrogant, they immediately shared their hatred.
A female reporter said: "Price does not represent anything. It is an inevitable phenomenon when economic prosperity reaches a certain level. We also have modern civilization and systems that are commensurate with it."
"I don't think a place that only abolished the "Qing Law" in the 1970s has modern civilization. You only banned concubines 9 years ago. I think you are also a woman. You have no sympathy for the weak and you are still complacent.
I don’t understand what’s going on in your head?”
For a moment, there was a verbal battle with thieves!
After several exchanges, an elderly reporter stood up. He looked very senior and said calmly: "Mr. Chen's eloquence is amazing, I admire you, but no matter how much you talk about it, you can't avoid real problems.
What Hong Kong is today is the result of the hard work of all Hong Kong citizens, government support, openness to international trade and other factors. Our economy is prosperous, our society is progressive, and our systems are advanced. This is an objective fact."
"..."
Chen Qi paused for a few seconds and then said: "I heard that Hong Kong's fresh water resources are extremely scarce. There was a century-old drought in the 1960s. The British Hong Kong government restricted your water supply. Water supply is once every four days, and water is supplied to 4 people each time.
Hours later, 3.5 million people in Hong Kong were in trouble, fighting every day for water.
It is your Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and the Hong Kong and Kowloon trade unions who jointly requested help from the mainland. Under such difficult circumstances, we allocated 38 million yuan to build the Dongshen Water Supply Project to divert water from the Dongjiang River for your drinking.
At that time, an army of ten thousand people was formed, carrying people on their shoulders, overcoming various difficulties, and the water was opened in one year..."
"We bought that with money, and we have to pay the water bill!" the other party said hurriedly.
"Oh? We can't even drink clean water ourselves. We are short of water ourselves and we have to ensure that we provide you with water. Why don't you spend money to buy it in the UK?
Also, there is Wenjindu in Shenzhen, which supplies fresh agricultural products to Hong Kong. Farmers push carts and carry poles to deliver live chickens and ducks here for decades. Why don't you report it?
Including our conversation today, do you dare to report it?"
Chen Qi leaned back and crossed his legs: "Journalist, I don't know you, but the Chinese have a saying, pick up the bowl to eat, put the bowl down to curse...that's what you are talking about!"
Kick, kick, kick!
The reporter was scolded and took a few steps back. He covered his chest and his face turned red. He might have a heart problem and was going to be sick with anger. He pointed at the stage and wanted to fight back, but he couldn't say a word.
.
The others' faces were as pale as dirt, and they were defeated by the minute.
Chen Qi's every word was bloody and pierced their hearts. But did they dare to publish these conversations today? No way!
Just like the Dongshen Water Supply Project, 70%-80% of Hong Kong's water supply depends on this, but how many times has the media reported it? First, the British Hong Kong government prohibits the promotion of these contents. Second, people feel that they have spent money, and the mainland should
.
"Going crazy!"
Xiong Xinxin's whole body was shaking on the stage and she said a Guangxi curse word.
Ji Chunhua looked at Brother Qi with even more affection.
Li Lianjie, Yu Hai and others are very complicated. They often go out to perform. When they go overseas, they are all cautious and have low self-esteem. They are afraid of leaving a bad impression on their international friends.
So they were extremely shocked by Chen Qi's taunting, and at the same time, they felt a strange feeling in their hearts: What a joy! Who is so stupid? Can't you see that the Hong Kong media is deliberately looking for trouble and discriminating against mainlanders? That's right.
Scold them like that!
Gong Xue stared intently at his side face, suddenly feeling proud of him. This bratty brother was usually not serious, but he had courage in his heart. Occasionally, he looked like a grown man again.
"Hahaha!"
Fu Qi almost clapped his hands, there will be successors, there will be successors!
Xu Dunle also said: "This guy is pretty good, no wonder you value him so much!"
But looking at the expressions of the official staff as if they had seen a ghost, they decided to focus on the event for the time being and stood up to smooth things over: "Dear journalists, do you have any questions?"
"..."
Quiet as a chicken.
No one shouted any more provocations. Only a few reporters couldn't stand such "humiliation" and left directly, but most of them stayed. How can "dignity" be as important as news?
"Okay, let's move on to the next step!"
"We specially invited two masters from Hong Kong Island to make friends with each other through martial arts and learn from each other. Please invite Master Liao and Master Luo!"
Chapter completed!
