Chapter 185 Going to Hong Kong City
Yuan Xiao returned home and told Wang Yazhi about going to Hong Kong City.
Wang Yazhi was a little worried, "It's too far, how many days will it take? You are a freshman, you can't help much, why don't you go!"
Yuan Xiao smiled and comforted her: "Mom, many things in Hong Kong City are better developed than in the mainland. We are going there for exchanges, not only to learn from them, but also to show them the strengths of China. I can also ask about dryers."
For Yuan Xiao, the latter is her real purpose.
She can imagine how boring the exchange will be, and she is really not suitable for research.
She still prefers buying houses and collecting rent, which is more salty.
Chu Jiangping also supported Yuan Xiao, "Well, it's good to go out and see the world. The country will gradually open up to the outside world, and Pengcheng, which is close to Gangcheng, will have unlimited potential in the future."
Yuan Xiao secretly admired Chu Jiangping in her heart, Chu Jiangping is very far-sighted.
She thought about it again, the house prices in Pengcheng will also be amazing in the future.
In the future, Pengcheng will have friends from all over the world and will not be xenophobic. It is also a good idea to buy a house there!
She secretly made a note of this in her heart.
Gu Lanting was not too surprised when Yuan Xiao said he was going to Gangcheng.
Once Yuan Xiao wants to do something, he will definitely try his best.
He just gave some instructions, and then said, "I have a few friends in Hong Kong. I'll give you their contact information and address. You can ask them about the dryer. They are all trustworthy. If you have any questions, just go to them."
Yuan Xiao felt that she was so lucky that everything she thought of came true.
She got the contact information of his friends from Gu Lanting, and then went to exchange some Hong Kong dollars.
After she was ready, she set off for Hong Kong with Professor Wen and Yuan Laixi.
They followed Professor Wen and several other teachers throughout the journey.
As soon as they landed, someone came to pick them up and take them to the hotel.
Yuan Laixi grabbed Yuan Xiao's clothes nervously, "Yuan Xiao, I don't understand what they are saying at all."
Yuan Xiao understood. They mainly spoke in English, and she could only understand it basically. She couldn't translate word for word.
She secretly said to Yuan Laixi, "We should just follow Professor Wen. Anyway, we can't get involved in this kind of exchange."
Yuan Laixi felt more at ease and asked, "Yuan Xiao, what are they speaking?" "They are speaking
English. You can find some basic books when you go back and learn it."
Yuan Laixi probably had never seen foreigners before.
When they arrived at the hotel, they were notified that there were not enough rooms arranged.
Yuan Laixi felt insecure and suggested that she and Yuan Xiao share a room.
Yuan Xiao had different ideas in his mind.
She felt something strange from the moment she landed.
People here look down on mainlanders.
Professor Wen also looked unhappy, and he must have noticed it.
They arrived in Hong Kong in the morning, and had free time in the afternoon.
Yuan Xiao and Professor Wen asked for leave and planned to visit Gu Lanting's friends.
Professor Wen repeatedly reminded her to be careful.
Yuan Xiao borrowed a phone from the front desk and dialed the number given by Gu Lanting.
Before Yuan Xiao could reveal his identity, he heard an excited voice from the other side: "Sister-in-law, right?"
Yuan Xiao: "How do you know?"
The other side's voice was a little rough, and he laughed twice: "Only Gu Lanting would make this call! Lanting told me in advance that you would come to Hongcheng to contact me."
Yuan Xiao relaxed a little, "See when it is convenient for us to meet, I have something to ask."
"Sister-in-law, you can just call me Xiao Zhao, don't be polite with me! Where are you staying, give me the address, I'll go there now."
Yuan Xiao told him the address of the hotel.
"Okay! I know that place, wait for me for half an hour."
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xiao waited in the rest area on the side.
The waiting process was not long, Xiao Zhao came faster than he said.
Although he was called Xiao Zhao, he was really not small.
He was wearing short-sleeved shirt, shorts and slippers, revealing his muscular and exaggerated body, tattoos and a head of frizzy hair.
If he hadn't recognized the voice, Yuan Xiao would have thought he was a gangster.
"Sister-in-law, Lan Ting had told me about what you are talking about. I have inquired about several such machines here and will take you to have a look first."
Yuan Xiao didn't expect their efficiency to be so high.
Except for this afternoon, it was indeed inconvenient for her to leave at other times, so it would be best if she could make a reservation earlier.
The first place Xiao Zhao took Yuan Xiao to was the home of one of his friends. The place they lived in was a single-family house, and several buildings were connected. It looked like a wealthy family's home.
The daughter of the wealthy family didn't like to eat fruits and vegetables, so they bought a vegetable dryer to make snacks for her daughter.
Yuan Xiao: I really don't understand the thoughts of rich people.
Xiao Zhao had helped this rich man before, and the rich man said he could help with the purchase.
But this machine was imported from Japan, and it cost a lot of money.
All in all, one machine costs 3,000 yuan on average.
Yuan Xiao wants to expand the vegetable processing factory, so he needs at least dozens of such dryers.
But one machine costs 3,000 yuan, and all the money of the Gu Lan family has to be included.
Yuan Xiao and Xiao Zhao stood up to say goodbye.
As soon as they walked out, Xiao Zhao saw Yuan Xiao's dilemma, "Sister-in-law, is there any problem?"
Yuan Xiao shook her head: "Nothing, just the price is a bit expensive."
This is true, Xiao Zhao nodded.
"But the prices of the few stores I inquired about are all similar. I brought you here first because Mr. Wu has a wide network of contacts and can help you get the goods faster."
Yuan Xiao was a little frustrated.
"In that case, I won't read the rest. I'll go back and discuss with Lan Ting. If possible, we'll contact you again. We'll need your help again."
Xiao Zhao waved his hand, "It's no trouble. I'll take you back."
Yuan Xiao returned to the hotel, and Professor Wen was waiting for her. He
said that he was going to have dinner with the people from the Agricultural Research Association in the evening, and asked the two of them to follow.
Yuan Xiao felt that the dinner in the evening should be more formal, so he took Yuan Laixi back to the room to change clothes.
"Yuan Xiao, I'm a little nervous. How about I not go tonight?"
Yuan Xiao came out in a new skirt and looked at her: "Why not? We don't need to speak, just listen."
Yuan Laixi looked a little frustrated and whispered: "They look down on us. I was a little hungry just now, so I went out to get something to eat. Their attitude was very bad. I even heard them say bad things about Professor Wen."
"Don't you understand what they are saying?"
Yuan Laixi bit her lower lip and then let it go.
"They deliberately spoke in Mandarin. Although it was very lame, I understood it."
