Chapter 520 Huge gap between rich and poor!

Chapter 520 The gap between the rich and the poor is huge!

On one side are the ordinary class who have no place to live and can only live in cage houses, and on the other side are the Hong Kong wealthy class who live in villas with an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters in the mountains.

It can be said that it is like two worlds.

There are many cage houses like this not only in Kowloon Walled City, but also in Kowloon and the New Territories, especially in places like Sham Shui Po in the 1980s and after the 1990s.

"Mr. Lai, how much does it cost per month for you to live here?"

"It used to be 10 Hong Kong dollars a month, then it rose to 20 Hong Kong dollars, and now it has risen to 80 Hong Kong dollars a month. It will continue to rise in the future. If it rises again, we won't know where to move to."

According to the current per capita income in Hong Kong, the per capita income ranges from more than 1,000 to several thousand Hong Kong dollars.

Yang Ming didn't know what kind of income these old people had in the Kowloon Walled City. However, they lived in cage houses and earned HK$80 a month, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the monthly salary of ordinary people, which is not low.

"Mr. Lai, have you ever thought about moving out of here?"

"I even dream of it, but after I go out, there are no such cheap places elsewhere." Lai Guowen was helpless.

People passing by had to walk with umbrellas to prevent slippery roads and falls.

In the early years, you might have wanted to go back, but how could you possibly go back now?

I can't go back to my hometown. Nowadays, the situation here is like this. Plus, I'm getting older. I'm afraid I can't see the hope for the future. I can only live one day at a time.

In the darkness, as I walked towards the alley ahead, I suddenly saw a few gangster-looking young people trading something or other somewhere.

"Sir Yang, the front is a restricted area, they won't let us pass anymore."

"Then let's go."

"Then do you still want to go back?"

Some people smuggled to Haojiang first and then to Xiangjiang.

So in this case, if they are not even willing to give up the benefit of the shared area, how can they consider these ordinary people in Xiangjiang who cannot afford to buy a house or rent a better house?

The residents living in cage houses in Kowloon Walled City not only represent the residents in Kowloon Walled City, but also represent a large part of the people in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Yang, I can't go back to my hometown."

I originally wanted to go to the front to have a look, but soon learned that I couldn't go any further.

Zhou Kaixuan and others have opened their umbrellas.

When they were young, they had little income and no need to think about pensions.

In other words, these are the requirements of Lai Guowen.

Even though Zhou Kaixuan was from an ordinary class background, her family life was still much better than here. A big rat jumping out would really scare her as a woman.

Because the wealth of most real estate developers and even the rich in Xiangjiang comes from the high housing prices in Xiangjiang.

Yang Ming and Zhou Kaixuan held umbrellas.

"Then do you know the changes in your hometown?"

Many people had been looking at Yang Ming just now.

According to Zhou Kaixuan's understanding, from the perspective of those real estate developers, it is absolutely impossible for them to solve the problems for these people.

Zhou Kaixuan still feels that these places are really not suitable for people to live in.

"Hey, why is there a note here?"

Lai Guowen shook his head.

"I used to exchange letters with my hometown, but now I don't know."

Lai Guowen personally sent Yang Ming down.

"Boss, be careful, the alley ahead is leaking."

Lai Guowen may not know that Zhucheng in China has been circled by the old man and will be one of the special economic zones. It should be able to develop in the future.

Yang Ming and Zhou Kaixuan had just descended to the corner of the stairs when suddenly a mouse rushed out of nowhere, frightening Zhou Kaixuan.

Sir Yang originally came to Kowloon Walled City this time and had been watching it for three or four hours. He had completed his mission. Sir Yang seemed to have not stopped yet.

Those little gangsters didn't hide away, they were still there trading something.

Yang Ming nodded.

Doumen?

"Then where is your hometown?"

Many of these people may be from illegal backgrounds. When they were young, they worked day by day to earn money. If they had any extra money, they would send it back to their relatives in their hometown.

Many times, if a Sir in the New Territories or Kowloon is found to have entered the Kowloon Walled City, the suspect will basically give up. In other words, there is usually no Sir here at all.

These people are among the most difficult people to live in Xiangjiang.

"Sir Yang, I'm afraid you can't help us."

In that case, of course Yang Ming would never go there again.

There are too many of these people in Hong Kong, Kowloon and the New Territories.

When they saw Sir Yang leaving, those people also breathed a sigh of relief.

The demands of these people are neither difficult nor difficult.

Seeing the other person hugging his waist in fear, Yang Ming knew that the other person was only twenty years old.

"what about you?"

Soon, Yang Ming learned that these people were all like this.

Yang Ming remembered that the place belonged to Zhucheng and was indeed very close to Haojiang River.

"Mr. Lai, what do you want to change?"

They came to Xiangjiang illegally to live a good life, and Yang Ming also saw their situation now.

It's not a rainy day now, the environment inside is destined to be like this.

Yang Ming had already seen a lot of water dripping down the alley.

Those gangsters with dyed hair immediately looked different when they saw the sirs in police uniforms behind Yang Ming.

"From my hometown in Doumen, I first smuggled to Haojiang, and from Haojiang to Xiangjiang, thinking that there would be better development here in Xiangjiang, but my whole life passed like that."

Yang Ming did not stay.

Leave from another place.

Coming out from above.

As far as the Governor's Office is concerned, these people are people who have given up long ago and probably no one will care about them.

They just hope that when they come back from work, they can lie down and rest like they did in their hometown.

According to Lai Guowen's situation, he should have been smuggled in very early.

This time, he originally wanted to see if he could change the situation of the people in Kowloon Walled City.

Zhou Kaixuan herself comes from a lower-class background, and of course she also knows the cage houses where these people live.

So much so that when Yang Ming announced the cancellation of the shared area this time, an alliance to preserve the shared area still appeared in Xiangjiang. It is obvious that the real estate developers jointly opposed the cancellation of the shared area.

Yang Ming didn't need to ask, he already guessed it.

As for the so-called restricted areas they are talking about, they are places designated by members of the community and prohibiting other people from entering and activities. Even the residents of Kowloon Walled City may not be able to go there.

"Mr. Lai, maybe Sir Yang can help you." Zhou Kaixuan said.

The ground has always been wet. Apart from a lot of moss mixed with other plants, I don't know what kind of small insects are inside.

Yang Ming is Sir Yang and a Justice of the Peace.

"If possible, I hope that I can lie down straight when I sleep so that I don't feel very painful when I wake up the next day."

Now that Sir Yang's status is different, whether it is with the country or with London, if they really want to provoke Sir Yang, they know that they will be dead.

Sir Yang didn't come over again, so they relaxed.
