Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

For Shi Zhijian, now that he has negotiated cooperation with Lai Luo, it means that the relationship between the customs has been opened up, and the next step is shipping.

Shi Zhijian first thought of the Huo family. After all, the Huo family started out by shipping, but Shi Zhijian immediately banned the plan to cooperate with the Huo family. The reason is that the Huo family has been sanctioned by the British Hong Kong government in recent years. It is more stringent in terms of maritime inspection and management.

In addition, the Huo family has put down the shipping industry in recent years and began to focus on real estate and other industries.

Therefore, Shi Zhijian had to think about the Xu family, but the problem came out again. The Xu family is now one-third of the world, and the third young master Xu Shixun is in charge of the Xu family construction company. The second young master Xu Shijian is in charge of banking business, and the eldest young master Xu Shiwen is in charge of shipping and freight.

And it is precisely the relationship between Xu Shiwen and Shi Zhijian that is not very harmonious, and Xu Shiwen's wife and brother-in-law Zeng Wenju acted as a "stirr" in the middle, making the relationship between Shi Zhijian and Xu Shiwen even more inseparable.

Shi Zhijian reluctantly used the charter king as the third reference person again. If he knew his son-in-law Su Wendi, he could be considered to have such a relationship.

But this time the plan set by Shi Zhijian was a little dark, and Su Diwen was too "decent". After thinking about it, Shi Zhijian finally decided to start with Xu.

Shi Zhijian called Xu Sanshao and asked him to meet at the rich nightclub. This place seems to have become a secret base for Shi Zhijian, Xu Sanshao and Huo Dashao.

Unexpectedly, Xu Sanshao rejected it on the phone. He also said righteously that Shi Zhijian went to the rich to have fun. He also said that if he wanted to talk, he would go to the Furama Hotel.

Furama Hotel has taste?

see the hell!

Going to the rich is just playing with things and losing your mind?

It's a **** of a hell!

Shi Zhijian felt that there must be a problem with this.

...

Furama Hotel is the oldest hotel in Hong Kong and the first hotel built by Chinese in Hong Kong.

The behind-the-scenes owner of this hotel is the Fu Laorong family, one of the four major families in Hong Kong.

Compared with the Kowloon Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, the Hilton Hotel, the Shangri-La Hotel, and the Furama Hotel, it is now a bit outdated. The decoration and the facade are still in the style of the 1950s, and the accommodation facilities and restaurant equipment are also somewhat old.

Compared with those big hotels that often combine Chinese and Western, especially the bright and eye-catching Western restaurants, full of Western luxury coffee and black tea, Furama is like an incompatible unearthed cultural relic, providing customers with the most high-end drinks only here is the famous silk stocking milk tea .

Before the change, according to Xu Sanshao's heart, he would never come here to drink milk tea and eat egg tarts, but go to the Peninsula Hotel to drink coffee and eat pizza.

But today he unusually invited Shi Zhijian here.

The guests who come to stay in Furama are at least fifty years old. These guests have witnessed the former scenery of Furama. In the era of Chinese lowly British colonialism, the first Chinese-owned hotel on the land of Hong Kong opened in full costumes. Countless Chinese people rejoiced.

Twenty years later, the hotel's glory is gone, but these people's memories remain at that exciting time. Those VIPs who can come here for accommodation and consumption have now become the hottest party bosses in Hong Kong, such as Xu Chuanwang, Huo Daheng, and charter king and so on.

In their prosperous days, they were the trendsetters of that era, the pride of heaven, and they used to sing and sing every night in this Fulihua.

Today, Fulihua has not changed, but they are all old, and some people have quietly passed away, and the remaining people have turned into the powerhouses of this land, continue to expand the territory, and fight for a place for the Chinese!

Over time, Fulihua has become a totem, a symbol. It's not that those with status and status are not qualified to come to such a place at all.

When Shi Zhijian came to Furama Hotel at the appointed time to see Xu Sanshao, he even wondered if he was seeing the wrong person, and rubbed his eyes, only to be sure that the guy who stood up and waved to him was really the one who likes romantic and unrestrained The third young master of the Xu family!

At this time, Xu Sanshao changed his coquettish clothes in the past. The red suit and green suit with changing colors turned into a very orthodox black suit, and the tie also changed from colorful to a calm dark blue. As for his hairstyle, not to mention, the previous plane head, Zorro's head, has become a very formal three or seven points, and the hair is combed and glossy and meticulous. If you add a moustache to your lips, you will be an American Hollywood superstar. Gregory Pike.

"Choose, you kid ignore me, I waved to you many times before you look!" When Shi Zhijian was led to the old-fashioned teahouse by the waiter, Xu Sanshao had already started to get angry at him, and then he reached out and beat Shi Zhijian. Then he squeezed Shi Zhijian's neck again, and said with a grin, "To tell the truth, is it developed, and now I don't have you in my eyes?"

Next to Xu Sanshao sat a 28-year-old woman, wearing a very decent dress, not particularly bright, but very charming, like that kind of lady.

When the woman saw Xu Sanshao and Shi Zhijian greeting each other, she also stood up politely from the side. She didn't speak, but just stood smiling.

"Surrender, big brother!" Shi Zhijian was directly subdued by his strangulation, "Why don't you introduce this beauty to me?"

Then Xu Sanshao laughed, let go of his arms, and introduced Shi Zhijian: "This is your sister-in-law, my wife! Jian Wenxin! You can call her Axin, sister Xin!"

"Huh?" Shi Zhijian was slightly taken aback, fortunately he didn't ask Xu Sanshao where did this girl lie? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like Miss Wu, but it turns out that she is the wife of the three young Ming media!

"Also, Ah Jian, don't you like to eat cigarettes? Let me tell you, all the 'Double Happiness' in Hong Kong and Quan Nanyang are produced by their family! You have to pay them for every one! ?" Xu Sanshao said proudly.

Shi Zhijian suddenly remembered, remember it well, this Miss Jane is a pearl of the Jane family in Hong Kong! The Jane family in Hong Kong originated from the Jane family in Nanyang. The Nanyang Jian family is the actual helm of the famous "Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company"!

Sixty years ago, the founder of Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company, Jian Zhaonan, was very experienced in business. He and his younger brother Jian Yujie used to do business in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Dongying. , hired Dongying technicians to get "tobacco technology".

In fact, the configuration of Nanyang at that time was as follows: a starting capital of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, a simple small factory, an oven, a drying room, an engine, two knife sharpeners, and four cigarette machines. 16 Chinese men were trained to use the machines and 100 women workers were trained to handle and pack the finished products. Work ten hours a day and produce 300,000 cigarettes.

Nanyang launched the "White Crane" brand of cigarettes, which gradually opened up sales. The most powerful British American Tobacco Company at that time saw this, claiming that the color of the "White Crane" cigarette wrapping paper was similar to that of their products, believing that Nanyang violated their rights and interests, so with the help of the Hong Kong Inspectorate, Nanyang cigarettes worth 2,000 yuan were sold. Pulled to the gate of the patrol mansion and burned. The cigarette brands "Double Happiness" and "Pegasus" that Nanyang subsequently launched have all been attacked by British American Tobacco Company.

Compared with big companies like British American Tobacco, Nanyang was undoubtedly weak when it was just starting out. Therefore, under heavy pressure, Nanyang was in debt of more than 100,000 yuan after only 13 months of construction, and had to announce a clean-up auction.

At this difficult moment, Jian Zhaonan's uncle Jian Mingshi came to the rescue. Jian Mingshi invested 90,000 yuan to buy Nanyang, still managed by Jian Zhaonan and Jian Yujie, and continued to operate.

At this time, when China was suffering from foreign affairs, the voice of advocating the use of domestic products was extremely enthusiastic among the Chinese community. Nanyang, which has set sail again, coincides with this special historical period. In response to the situation of advocating the use of domestic products, they gradually have their own market, and the sales volume has continued to rise. Only in Java, a brand of cigarettes in Nanyang. Sales rose to 50 million. Gradually, Nanyang grew stronger and stronger, laying a solid foundation for becoming a famous "Tobacco King" in the future.

This Miss Jane, Jian Wenxin, is actually from the line of Jian Zhaonan, and she is also a rare old-fashioned rich family in Hong Kong.

After Shi Zhijian understood the situation, he hurriedly smiled: "So it's A-sister-in-law, and the third master often mentioned you! It's rare to see you today, I'm really lucky to meet you!" Then he bowed slightly and extended his hand to say hello.

Jian Wenxin and Shi Zhijian shook hands slightly, and said with a smile: "Hello, Ajian, I have been admiring you for a long time. When I was in the UK, San Shao would mention you every time I called, and you were all right. The number one handsome boy in Hong Kong, when I saw him today, he was young and promising, handsome and extraordinary!"

"Wow, San Shao is so modest this time---he usually says I'm the second handsome boy, he's the first!" Shi Zhijian exaggeratedly said.

Shi Zhijian and Xu Sanshao have been around for a long time and know something about his private life.

The Xu family and the Jian family belong to the family marriage, but Xu Sanshao and this Miss Jane are very loving!

And because Jian Wenxin was living in the UK with her children, Xu Sanshao had the courage to be unruly outside. Now that his wife came back, he immediately became an obedient baby.

Before Shi Zhijian could find a seat to sit down, a seven- or eight-year-old boy ran out of nowhere, holding a cup of milk tea in his hand, and said to Jian Wenxin, "Mom, the milk tea here is delicious, Much better than the tea restaurants in the UK! Let's not go back, okay?"

"Do you want to go back and ask your father first?" Jian Wenxin looked at her husband Xu Shixun with a smile on her face.

Xu Sanshao picked up the little boy and said, "Wow, our Ah Heng is so heavy! Dad can't hold him anymore! You and Mom don't want to go back to the UK in the future, what's good about the place of the British? ? Drink too much coffee and you'll get dark, dark skin, like an Indian!"

"Dad, I don't want to go back to England, and I don't want my skin to get dark! I'm Chinese!"

"Good job!" Xu Sanshao held his son high, "This is my son! Just be a Chinese, not a fake foreign devil!"

Jian Wenxin smiled and said, "I stay in Hong Kong and you won't have the chance to go out to play. Beware of regrets?"

"What do you regret?" Xu Sanshao shouted, "Even if you're not in Hong Kong, I'll keep my body like a jade and never go out to fool around! If you don't believe me, ask Ah Jian, at most I can sing poetry with him, and occasionally go to the racecourse to cultivate my sentiments. !" After Xu Sanshao finished speaking, he winked hard at Shi Zhijian.

Shi Zhijian immediately received the signal from San Shao: "Yeah, sister-in-law! San Shao is a very decent person. He never misses the romantic situation. He just likes to sing poetry against me, and occasionally we go to the racecourse to have some fun--- You also know that the third master loves horse racing, and he has pulled the first horse several times! Every time he pulls the first horse, he tells me that the most regrettable thing is that you are not by your side, if you can stand in the spotlight and pull the first horse with you, This life is without regrets!"

Xu Sanshao gave Shi Zhijian a secret thumbs up and praised Shi Zhijian's sharpness. Even I believed it!

The little boy only found Shi Zhijian at this time, and asked his father Xu Sanshao with his head tilted: "Who is this uncle? He is so handsome!"

"He's Uncle Shi. By the way, he also has a niece named Bao'er. She's a pretty girl. When you grow up, I'll introduce you to be your wife, can't you?" Xu Sanshao cheerfully started beating Shi Zhijian's side. people idea.

Before Shi Zhijian could speak, the little boy Ah Heng pouted and said, "No, I don't want to marry any Baoer, I want to marry a big star! Like Feng Baobao, Chen Baozhu, and Zheng Peipei! They are so beautiful, I love them so much! "

"Uh, marry a celebrity? You are so ambitious, I support you!" According to the status of the Xu family in Hong Kong~www.readwn.com~ If you change to another father, when you hear that your son wants to marry a celebrity, you will definitely object. Qi Hua raised her hand in support, not to mention Shi Zhijian, even Jian Wenxin rolled her eyes.

"Okay, don't spoil your son! Aheng, will your mother take you there to play? Your father and Uncle Shi have something to talk about!" Jian Wenxin took her son's little hand and said.

"Okay, Mom! Let's play over there, there are beautiful goldfish in the pool! Even prettier than the English ones!"

...

When Jian Wenxin left the teahouse with his son, Shi Zhijian looked at Xu Sanshao, "You really don't mind that your son marry a celebrity as his wife in the future?"

"What's the point of it? Family, status, background? For me, as long as my son is happy, it's not a problem! As for Wenxin, I don't know what she thinks!" Xu Sanshao picked up the kung fu tea on the table, Pour rich green tea into two small tea cups, and give Shi Zhijian a cup.

Shi Zhijian lowered his head and smelled the aroma of the tea, and said to Xu Sanshao, "Your thinking is very special, I admire you so much!"

"Haha! I have a lot of advantages, and you will admire them in the future!" Xu Sanshao and Shi Zhijian touched the teacups, replaced the wine with tea, and drank it all!
