09 Behind the Prosperity
Pengcheng, located on the east bank of the Pearl River Delta in southern China, is connected to the mountains and rivers of Hong Kong. It is China's first special economic zone. It is also called "Pengcheng" based on the speed of development.
As one of the most prosperous cities in the south, Pengcheng started a little late and became wealthy thanks to the spring breeze of reform and opening up. However, there is no shortage of facilities and places for living and entertainment, and many of them can be ranked among the best in the country.
Stacked with money.
In Pengcheng, don't say you are a rich person, because there are too many rich people here.
There are only two ways to become famous here, both of which are very traditional: one is to spend a lot of money, treating money like dirt and spending it like dirt, which is the practice of powerful people.
The other is a more bloody one, that is, you are better at fighting, and you are not just able to fight, you have to be especially good at killing.
If you can wipe out in one fell swoop overnight, not to mention the Ax Gang branch entrenched here, or a small gang like the Qingfeng Gang, as long as you survive, someone will be jealous of you.
Thumbs up - you can do it!
In this way, even if you are famous, you don’t have to worry about the little things like the wealth and wealth of women! Because you are famous and have a reputation, people will naturally fawn over you and please you. In this way, you will have fewer money women.
?
But there is also a question that haunts you, that is, how long can you enjoy the glory and wealth?
In other words, how long can you live?
Therefore, the more prosperous the city, the darker it is!
The more you want to gain a foothold in a big city, the more you need to have a strong pocket, and the more you need to bulge your pockets! To put it bluntly, it means strength. Do you understand strength?
These are truths that don’t need to be written down in textbooks! Anyone who is involved in the world of martial arts understands them.
He didn't bring anyone with him, only Old Man Zao and Ye Piaoling were walking outside. The cool night breeze was blowing, which made people feel comfortable!
As the noise grew louder and louder, a rich nightlife began.
Ye Piaoling followed Zhongda on the way to have supper.
"Old man, is Pengcheng really prosperous?" Ye Piaoling asked the old man. He is still very vague about the whole concept of "prosperity"! He has been here for a long time, but he has not found a truly prosperous place!
Ye Piaoling was tricked into coming here by the uncle who looked amiable on the surface but was actually vicious at heart. The reason was that life in Pengcheng was easy and fun.
The gap between the reality he saw and his dreams was really huge!
This is where Ye Piaoling's suspicion arose.
"Hmm!" Old Man Zao nodded and said, "That's right! After more than 20 years of reform and opening up, Pengcheng has made enough money to develop its economy, at least on the surface!"
"But in fact it's not like that!" The old man suddenly added this sentence after finishing speaking.
"Huh?" Ye Piaoling was puzzled. He didn't understand what the old man said. After all, he still knew very little, but this did not affect his desire to understand some things. "What do you mean by your words?"
"The darkness and filth behind the prosperity exists in every 'big city'. You have to use your own eyes to see and judge whether it is prosperity or darkness!" Old Man Zao said while smoking. "If you stand on the upper floor, you will look down.
When you look at all the living beings, you will say that the whole place is very prosperous!"
"This city's money is one of the cities with the most money in the entire province!" Old Man Zao especially emphasized the last sentence. This city's money is one of the cities with the most money in the entire province!
"Oh!" Ye Piaoling seemed to understand a little bit, and said to himself, "It seems that Pengcheng is really prosperous!"
This is both heaven and hell! It is a paradise for rich and powerful people, and it is a hell for poor people with no status and low status!
The old man said to Ye Piaoling carefully. He seemed to have a sense of disdain and contempt for power. "Piaoling, you haven't really seen the nightlife in Pengcheng, have you?"
"No." Ye Piaoling replied.
Ye Piaoling knows that the nights here are crazy!
"Okay, now I'll take you to see the so-called prosperity of Pengcheng." Old Man Zao nodded and said, "Piao Ling, in your imagination, what is the real prosperity?"
"Everyone has a lot of money, and everyone lives a happy and happy life." Ye Piaoling expressed his understanding of "prosperity".
"Haha!" After hearing Ye Piaoling's words, Old Man Zao burst out laughing, as if he was very amused by Ye Piaoling's words.
"Old man, did I say something wrong?" Ye Piaoling asked looking at the old man who was laughing non-stop.
"Haha, no!" Zhongda shook his hand and said, "At least you got it right in the most basic aspect! But you still don't understand the meaning!"
"Oh." When Ye Piaoling heard the old man say this, he also knew that there were many things in this world that he did not understand. After all, he had only seen very little.
"Boy, what you said is true, but this is not what you mean! Here, it is impossible for everyone to have money, and it is impossible for everyone to live a happy life! So the real prosperity of the city is not
These!" The old man said slowly to Ye Piaoling, "The prosperity of a city depends on the richness of night life, just like here in Pengcheng, the more people living a life of luxury and extravagance, the more prosperous it is!"
"Oh, I still don't understand!" Ye Piaoling felt very strange about Old Man Zao's words, because he had never seen the so-called city nightlife, so it was hard to accept it for a while.
Just like some super cities in the world, the bustle during the day is a manifestation of the sun and normal people's lives, while the hustle and bustle at night is the standard for measuring a city.
"I know that you know me very well and have doubts about my ability! Well, then I will take you to see my methods now to open your eyes." After the old man finished speaking, he quickened his pace and moved forward.
He planned to take Ye Piaoling to see the whole real world.
