"Why? Of course it's for money! As the saying goes, birds die for food, people die for money! Although there are all kinds of difficult problems here, this is also a paradise for treasurers!" Huang Shirong smiled slightly.

"In this Luanda, there are hundreds of thousands of Chinese businessmen from our country. They either open hotels or run a small commodity store like me. If they have more money, they will do mining or something. In short, there are gold everywhere here!"

"But Boss Huang, the people here don't seem to have much money when I saw this on the way. The rich area is still very small, and most of them are still shanty towns where the poor are. I wonder where the gold you mentioned comes from?" When Li Fangxin heard what the other party said, thinking about his just experience, he felt full of questions, where did the poor get the money to spend?

"Brother Li, you don't understand this! Although Angola is poor, this country is now in a mess, and all walks of life are opportunities. Unlike our country, all industries have basically been established. It is very difficult for ordinary people to start from scratch, and here is very simple and the threshold is very low!"

"I'm not bragging, brother. Don't think I'm just a small shop owner. You are a senior manager of a large company, but your income may not be as high as mine!"

When Huang Shirong said this, he was a little proud, picked up the teacup and gently enjoyed a sip of the fragrant tea!

"It seems that Boss Huang has really made a fortune in this foreign country. I wonder if Fang is not convenient to nag with his brothers?" Li Fangxin smiled slightly. Since the other party said so confidently, he must have confidence. Even if he is not taller than him, it should be quite considerable.

"I dare not say that I have made a fortune, but I am more than enough for a well-off society!" Huang Shirong smiled, obviously what he said was greatly discounted.

"Oh? Then I wonder why it makes so much money if you open a small shop like this?" Li Fangxin continued to ask.

"Because the prices here are very high, it can be said to be the highest place in the world!" Huang Shirong said the reason with ease.

"The price is high? Why does it mean that the five-star hotel we stayed in for $3,000 a night is normal?" Li Fangxin glared!

"There are only a few newly opened five-star hotels in Luanda in recent years. US$3,000 a night is not expensive. In Luanda, an ordinary 2-star hotel costs $700 to 800 a night, and US$3,000 a night for a five-star hotel is not expensive at all!"

Huang Shirong is very familiar with the local area. It seems that it is not expensive in comparison. You should know that Qingquan Technology has booked the entire hotel. If the venue fee is included, it seems that it is not expensive!

"Why are the hotels here so expensive? I wonder how other prices are?" Li Fangxin asked in confusion.

"Why is it so expensive? I don't know. The biggest possibility is that it is related to the oil resources here. Because Angola is still very rich, there are still many rich people here! Also, it is related to the industry and agriculture here. Angola's industry is basically zero, and agriculture is even worse. It depends on the weather for a living. In addition, most areas of Angola have a tropical desert climate, which is not suitable for the development of agriculture at all. All materials rely on imports to cause such high prices!"

"As for other prices, Brother Li, you might as well follow me in the store and you will get a rough idea!"

Huang Shirong explained with a smile and stood up to take Li Fangxin to move around the store!

"Minite water is only 3 yuan per bottle in our country, but it costs 5 US dollars here!" Huang Shirong picked up a bottle of mineral water and said the sky-high price of 5 US dollars!

"5 US dollars! It will cost dozens of dollars to exchange for RMB!" Li Fangxin said in surprise.

"It is 30.23 yuan to convert it to RMB at the current exchange rate. It is rainy season. The price of mineral water is not expensive. If it is dry season, its price can be sold higher!" Huang Shirong said with a smile.

"It's really sky-high price. It's hard to imagine that people here can afford it!" Li Fangxin shook her head. This is too much beyond her own understanding. Maybe in some places in China, such as attractions, KTVs, hotels, etc., a bottle of water can be sold for dozens of yuan, but this is a street shop!

"When the dry season comes, the goods in my store can basically be sold out as soon as they are shipped. How much mineral water will be emptied! It is rainy season now, so I can be more relaxed!"

“This short-legged jeans cost $500!”

“Plastic basins cost $100!”

"Big green pepper, $25 per pound!"

"Tomatoes, $30 per pound!"

....

With Huang Shirong introducing the prices of the goods one by one, Li Fangxin really has a comprehensive understanding of the price level here. It is really as he said, this is the place with the highest prices in the world!

Li Fangxin himself is also a well-informed person. He has been to many countries in the world, but there has never been a place where prices are so high!

What is even more puzzling is that the huge poor area here is in sharp contrast with the high prices here! How do these poor people live on?

The two of them walked around and returned to the tea table. Huang Shirong took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and handed one to Li Fangxin. Li Fangxin shook her head and said she would not, but the other party did not push her back. She lit the cigarette herself and took a deep breath!

"Brother Li, are you wondering how the poor people here live with such high prices?"

"Well, now I'm just thinking about it. This is really a strange place. Poverty and high prices can coexist!" Li Fangxin nodded.

"The average income of Angolans is about US$1,000 per month, and their main food is long bread. The price of this bread is still very low, and you can buy it for just a few dollars!"

"And the people here basically only eat two meals a day, one meal at 10 a.m. and another meal in the afternoon, which is barely enough!"

Li Fangxin suddenly realized that although the prices here are high, the most basic food, bread, is relatively cheap, which should be the result of forced intervention by the government. In addition, he was frugal and could not spend much money to build a shed in the shanty town.

Unlike in China, it is illegal to build a house privately. You must buy a commercial house and force everyone to be a house. At least this is OK. Some live in and eat. No wonder locals are poor, but they would rather be lazy to bask in the sun than to work!

"So that's the case. I'm so grateful to Boss Huang! I still have something to do, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll talk to you later if I have time!" Li Fangxin stood up to thank him. He knew almost everything, and it's time to go back.

"Brother Li is a client. I rely on friends when I go out. If I encounter any difficulties, I can come to me at any time. I am quite familiar with it locally!" Huang Shirong is very generous!

"Okay, this is my business card! Contact me more in the future!"

...

Li Fangxin and the other party were kind enough, left each other's contact information and rushed back, but before they could walk a few steps, the communicator on their ears heard the voice of their subordinates asking for help!
