Do you know that Hongkongers have found a
new way to use smartphones?
What is this “new” way? Well, what else but
speculation?
While speculation of smartphones isn’t
exclusive to Hong Kong, Hongkongers really are famous (or infamous, depend on
how you see this action) for it. You can actually look up for related news or
posts on the internet, and you will probably be surprised by how Hong Kong
people are crazy about this kind of “buy low, sell high” activity. If you know
where to purchase and where to sell, you can sell it for double the original
price.
Yes, double. You read that right. And that
is more than what a normal salary man can earn in a week.
“It’s legal, so they are free to do what
they want,” you said?
Yes, you are right. And the problem is that
you are right.
This, coming from an insignificant guy who
barely earns more than the minimum wage, may sound hypocritical and ironic, but
sometimes, we hongkongers are just too superficial and can’t look past the
monetary value of something. That, in my opinion, really is unhealthy for both
the individual and the society.
What gives me the right to preach though?
And it’s not like no one knows that.
