Chapter 145 How Expensive!

"This is the legendary Hong Kong Island..."

Open the Rolls-Royce window and see the tall buildings. Although it is only early summer, you can already feel the heat coming. Finally, I have been playing all over the mainland, got the license plate of Hong Kong Island, and started a trip to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

The first stop is definitely a consumption paradise:

Hong Kong Island!

As usual, buy a house first. Go straight to Repulse Bay, backed by Taiping Mountain, and close to Victoria Harbor. It can be said to be surrounded by mountains and rivers and is known as the world's number one bay. It is known as the most representative landmark and the most famous rich area, with housing prices prevailing.

At least 150,000 per square meter, and any one hundred square meters can easily exceed 100 million. Hong Kong Island is worth every inch of land, and a joke circulated online: When a taxi driver hears where you go, he will immediately know if he has money?

In fact, there are 14 districts in Hong Kong, each district has local tyrants, and the living areas are relatively scattered. It’s just that Mid-mountain, Kowloon Tong, and Happy Valley are traditional rich areas, while Repulse Bay is definitely a gathering place for top rich people.

When I arrived at the destination, Johnson understood why each building was a private sea view room. It not only had beautiful scenery, but also surrounded by mountains and water, facing the sea, with fresh air. Standing on the balcony, you can see the sunrise in the morning and sunset in the evening.

If you have nothing to do, you can take a yacht to fish in the sea. There are many private yacht berths, each of which is 4 million Hong Kong dollars.

Experience the beauty of calm waves and clear water and fine sand in the recessed bay with gentle slopes. The beach here is wide, clean and shallow, and warm in winter and cool in summer. The water temperature is pleasant all year round.

The reason why I chose this place was revealed online that a luxury house was sold at a sky-high price of 1.5 billion, with a price of more than 1.36 million per square meter set the second highest record in the world. Some media revealed that the buyer may be Alibaba’s father.

It’s also fate. I am a neighbor in the Magic City Jiujiantang. Now when I go to Hong Kong Island, I can still join in the fun and enjoy the wealth of the richest man.

"Mr. Zhuang, this is a three-storey detached house with an area of ​​9,891 square feet. According to the mainland, it is 3,199 square meters."

The real estate agent speaks fluent Mandarin and serves Johnson with a diligent look on his house. In recent years, the mainland tycoons have spent a lot of money and can earn a commission for a long time.

"You can see the entire sea view of Victoria Harbor, and there are more than 20,000 square feet of private gardens, with small woods and large meadows in the courtyard..."

"There was no flat and wide area on the hillside, but after excavation, it gradually became flat. The scripture says: There is no room for the house to be left in front of the house and the descendants are rare."

The real estate agent took out a topographic map and said mysteriously: "The so-called space refers to the open space in front of the house, which is the lip-shaped foundation of the house. It can cover the slope of the front cliff in the house without seeing the viewing, and the viewing is smooth and open, which is a way to eliminate evil and generate power."

Johnson smiled but didn't say anything. He had long heard that people here were superstitious. The richer they were, the more they believed it. It was indeed not bad.

After reading it for a while, I was basically satisfied. In fact, there was no other choice. There was only one set on the entire top of the mountain!

The agent pointed not far away and whispered: "This is definitely a symbol of status. No. 3 Baijia Road is the residence of the US Consul General in Hong Kong; No. 11 is the residence of the commander of the Hong Kong troops; No. 15 is the residence of the Chief Secretary for Administration..."

"The No. 31A house was bought by Liu. He was 300 million yuan in 2005. Later, he was not satisfied and spent another 600 million yuan in 2015 to buy House D."

"On the 35th, the Li Ka-ki family, moved from Mid-Lee in 10 years, bought two buildings for 1.82 billion yuan, and opened up a neat family."

"No. 28 is the largest, with a practical area of ​​12,369 feet. It was just bought by your mainland Alibaba Chairman Mr. Jack Ma in a low-key manner and is being renovated."

I’ve said it for a long time to prove that this is a Feng Shui treasure land?

All of them are 860 million, which is indeed a luxury house. Grip your teeth and buy it!

After struggling for more than a long time, I finally finished the procedures. I drove down the mountain in the evening and entered the city. I was shocked by having a good meal.

One of the most famous restaurants, known as the first Cantonese cuisine. Over the years, it has won the nickname of the rich cafeteria due to the visit of a large number of wealthy businessmen, tycoons, politicians and celebrities.

The most expensive banquet once cost 130,000 US dollars, about 830,000 RMB, and entertained 100 guests. Usually, the evening banquets of the rich are usually consumed around 60,000 US dollars, or about 400,000.

Its history can be traced back to 1948. The first Cantonese restaurant, Michelin three-star, was selected as one of the 50 best restaurants in Asia.

Of course, SC Johnson doesn't believe it, but it's a century-old brand and it's worth trying.

According to the definition of locals, the standard of the rich canteen is: the dishes should be expensive enough, the guests should be rich enough, and the rich should go in and out frequently.

Please note that the rich people here are business tycoons and celebrities who have gained popularity, not nouveau riche!

There are only two stores, with a storefront value of more than 600 million yuan, and the entire restaurant has a maximum valuation of 1.4 billion yuan.

Li Chaoren is basically here every week, and Liu Luanxiong is even more cruel and can eat millions here every year. In the past, paparazzi liked to stay at Fulinmen. At the craziest time, he brought different female stars at least three or four times a week.

Even he himself said: If he is not in Fulinmen, he is on the way to Fulinmen...

The main store is located in Johnston Road, Wan Chai. When you come downstairs and look up, Johnson was a little confused. The so-called rich restaurant should not be magnificent, but at least the signature should be very noble?

Looking around, on an inconspicuous street, even the signs were faded and worn, and the location and signs were like the style of an old Shanghai nightclub...

The interior decoration is classic, decorated in brown, gold and emerald green, which is obviously a popular style in the 1960s and 1970s. The glass cabinet displays Cantonese cuisine and top champagne and brandy bottles.

How to describe it?

Well, very down-to-earth!

There were very few people, and until the moment I took the menu, Johnson finally understood the true meaning of the rich restaurant...

A serving of crab cream shark fins cost $199

One serving of coke grilled pork costs $99 per serving, just the most common appetizer

Steamed Grouper $899

Signature dish, rich abalone $1,999, each one of them 13,000?

Johnson took a deep breath, it was very violent. Since you came, you should be at ease. Come on all the special dishes!

The waiter quickly brought a bowl of old-fashioned soup of the day to warm the stomach and relieve fatigue and increase appetite. Then there were a few cold dishes. The highlight was the ginger and ginger that was cured well, semi-liquid, melted in the mouth, and the aroma was full of the mouth. The sour ginger was moderately sweet and sour, and it cleared the mouth and relieved greasiness.

Fried chicken legs with salt and pepper, the dough is very light and thin. It seems ordinary, the taste is quite special, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and a bit like tempura. The combination of dipping sauce also enhances the deliciousness, but unfortunately you will feel a little salty when you eat a plate of dishes alone...

As a Cantonese classic dish, Johnson really cannot appreciate the mix of onions and crab meat.

Especially when I opened the crab cover, I thought it was a sweet and sweet thing full of crab meat, but it was mixed with too many onions to completely cover up the deliciousness of the crab meat, especially the portion was super small!

Yaozhu lotus leaf rice is very large. I thought it was a lotus leaf rice with rich seafood and rich flavor, but the overall taste is dry and the taste is very far-fetched. In the end, only a large plate is left...
Chapter completed!
