At the beginning of the month, summer vacation ends.
Feifan Weibo’s IPO journey also officially began.
The company formed three publicity teams, led by Chen Fan, Zhou Wangchao, vice president of the group business unit, and Zhou Qixin, general manager of Weibo, to conduct publicity in Beijing, Pudong and Hong Kong.
Later, because we were going to go public on NASDAQ, we had to go to New York for a presentation and negotiate with domestic investment institutions to determine the issuance price and other matters.
Hong Kong.
Although Chen Fan led the team, it was impossible for him to personally participate in such matters as preaching.
After arriving at the hotel that had been booked in advance, Chen Fan held a brief meeting with the team, and then everyone began to prepare for the next work without stopping.
Chen Fan took Su Ruochu on a strolling tour.
Like Su Ruochu, she prefers tourist attractions such as Victoria Harbour, The Peak and Disneyland.
Chen Fan, on the other hand, prefers places like Temple Street, Central, Mong Kok, Causeway Bay, and Tsim Sha Tsui.
It's not that these places are so beautiful. But Chen Fan has watched too many movies and TV series when he was a child, especially the Young and Dangerous series, so these places are too familiar to him.
This time I came here purely to fulfill my childhood wish.
Finally, Chen Fan took Su Ruochu to the Regent Hotel, and the two of them took a photo standing on the steps at the door.
It’s a pity that I didn’t meet the boss lady who was selling local products.
"The 1980s was the glorious era of Hong Kong films. Unfortunately, as the older generation ages, the younger generation has not produced a worthy successor."
"Entering the millennium, except for those few old faces who are still struggling, Hong Kong films have really declined."
Chen Fan sighed, his childhood was filled with Young and Dangerous, Uncle Ying's zombie movies, Once Upon a Time in China, Tsui Hark's martial arts, John Woo's gangsters, Johnnie To's police and gangsters...
And now? All gone.
Is it the decline of Hong Kong films or their own development?
After strolling around until the evening, feeling a little tired, Chen Fan took Su Ruochu to a restaurant in Mong Kok for dinner.
"What do you think of Hong Kong?" Chen Fan asked with a smile while waiting for the food to be served.
Su Ruochu thought for a moment, then said, "It's pretty good, and the scenery is beautiful. But if I were to live here, I'd prefer the sea of clouds."
Chen Fan concluded: "This place is suitable for occasional tourism and consumption, but it's better not to live here permanently. Except for those rich people, living in such a place will cause depression."
Su Ruochu was curious, "I read a report online that this place is very famous for pigeon coops. Many young people can only live in cramped pigeon coops because they can't afford to buy houses."
Chen Fan nodded: "The housing prices here are the highest in Asia. Ordinary people may not be able to buy a house even if they work hard all their lives."
"Even so, the people here still refuse to move away. Do you know why?"
Su Ruochu shook her head.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Because of ridiculous identity recognition and regional pride."
"Although Hong Kong has long been returned to China, people here have always been proud of their Hong Kong and Taiwan identities, especially when facing mainland tourists, this sense of pride will be more obvious."
"Even though some young people live in pigeon cages and have to struggle for a living every day, many of them will still look down on mainland tourists."
"They never thought about who caused them to be homeless."
Chen Fan shook his head, feeling a little sad for these people.
"I'm afraid some people here don't know that Hong Kong's land area is about 1,100 square kilometers, of which about 75% is undeveloped. Everyone is crowded into this limited space, so how can housing prices not be high?"
Su Ruochu asked curiously: "Even if 75% of the land is undeveloped, it is impossible that all the land can be used to build houses, right?"
"Yes." Chen Fan explained: "Among these lands, at least 450 hectares of land are commercial land, which can be used to build buildings so that everyone can live in houses."
"In the past few years, the leaders here have actually made a lot of efforts, but unfortunately, the results are minimal."
Sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and had a simple dinner.
Chen Fan was not too fond of southern food, but Su Ruochu ate it with gusto.
After dinner, the two sat in front of the French window to enjoy the night view outside.
As a result, a waiter came over and spoke in a very strong Cantonese accent.
Chen Fan said in Mandarin: "I don't understand Cantonese, you can speak Mandarin."
The waiter immediately showed a look of contempt.
Then he said in broken Mandarin: "We have a rule in our restaurant that each diner only has 40 minutes to eat. Please leave when you are done."
Chen Fan frowned: "What kind of rule is this?"
"Our restaurant's rules."
"You two have finished eating. Staying here will affect our business."
Chen Fan glanced to the side and found that a few old men had just finished their meal and were sitting there drinking and chatting in a low voice.
But from beginning to end, no one urged them to leave.
Chen Fan looked a little unhappy.
"Call your boss."
"Sorry. The boss isn't here."
The waiter glanced at Chen Fan's clothes and couldn't help but curl his lips.
"Please leave immediately and don't affect our business."
Just as Chen Fan was about to speak, Su Ruchu next to him suddenly reached out to stop him.
"Forget it. Let's go."
Chen Fan glanced at his wife, and his good mood was immediately disturbed.
The two of them stood up to pay the bill, and after leaving the restaurant, Su Ruochu immediately took Chen Fan's arm.
"Angry?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Getting angry with a waiter? Not really."
"That's good. I was afraid you might get angry and cause trouble in there."
Chen Fan said with emotion: "Hong Kong's glorious period has passed. Just like the Hong Kong and Taiwan films of the past, the glory of the past was caused by historical reasons."
"In the future, with the strong rise of the mainland, Hong Kong will eventually return to its original position."
After expressing his feelings, Chen Fan looked at Su Ruchu again.
"Where to go next?"
"I want to go shopping and find some duty-free shops to buy some gifts for my parents."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Come on, I'll go shopping with you tonight."
They found a duty-free shop nearby and went in. Chen Fan accompanied Su Ruochu to buy some clothes and cosmetics.
Then Su Ruchu was going to choose gifts to take back for her family and friends, and Chen Fan stood alone by to rest and wait. At this time, his cell phone rang.
After taking a look at the caller ID, Chen Fan's expression changed slightly.
The call came from Shuangche, the owner of a pawnshop branch in Yangcheng.
At this time, the other party called me, naturally because of that incident.
"Hello. I'm Chen Fan."
Sure enough, the phone was connected.
The two cars on the other side reported the news to Chen Fan.
"Man, another person on the list died last night."
