The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

In Li Zining's view, he had already bowed his head first, and as a man, he shouldn't argue with her.

But obviously, she was overthinking it.

Just as she was about to speak, Li Ziyu quickly pulled her aside.

Don't make trouble.

He was the first to speak: "Mr. Zhao, the matter is settled."

"That old boy Midun is still aware of current affairs." Zhao Chuanxin put away his pencil and stood up and said, "But why didn't he come to apologize? You can't be so rude, you know?"

Li Zining next to him was dumbfounded. Who do you think you are, the governor of Hong Kong Island coming to apologize to you?

She teased: "Perhaps, people have turned around and forgotten that there is such a little person."

"Eh? He forgot about me? That's okay, I'll remind him right away."

Zhao Chuanxin left immediately and pushed Li Zining who was blocking the way, pushing her until she almost sat on the ground.

Li Ziyu was shocked.

He quickly grabbed Zhao Chuanxin's arm: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, my sister is talking nonsense. Midun takes this matter very seriously, and he even invited you to visit the New Territories planning together."

After saying that, he suddenly turned around, raised his hand and slapped Li Zining.

The beating was not severe, but the sound of the slap could be heard.

Li Zining was stunned.

In all her life, her brother has never hit her.

But I heard Li Ziyu say angrily: "I told you not to follow me, but you have to follow me. You don't stop even when you come, can't you keep your mouth shut?"

Zhao Chuanxin blinked and looked at Li Zining, who had been pruned and was in the rain.

He said: "Hey, look at you, you don't act like an older brother.

How can you hit someone?

outrageous!

There is a bread knife here, use this to slice her! "

Li Zining forgot to cry: "..."

Li Ziyu's eyelids twitched violently. The knife was not sharp, but it had a dazzling cold light.

He quickly stepped forward, grabbed the back of the knife, and put the knife aside: "Hey, Mr. Zhao, let's get down to business."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Mr. Zhao, Midun is developing the New Territories. According to Midun, he wants Mr. Zhao's power plant to be built in the New Territories. He can also invest in other projects."

New Territories?

That's a great place.

Perhaps for some people, development there is still too slow. After all, human life is limited, and people are eager for quick success and instant benefits.

But Zhao Chuanxin is different. He knows that the New Territories will be the center of development of Hong Kong Island in the future.

Even if it's slow, he can survive.

"Oh, when will Midun invite me to inspect?"

Zheng Guohua hid his face.

Why did you become invited to inspect it?

He said it as if he was Midun's superior.

At this time, Li Zining, who hated Zhao Chuanxin in his heart, also snorted.

If it weren't for Zhao Chuanxin, how would she have been slapped by her brother who always loved her?

She had just wanted to throw up her sleeves and leave, but was interrupted by Zhao Chuanxin and seemed to have forgotten.

And judging from Zhao Chuanxin's appearance, even if she left in anger, he probably wouldn't look at her again, so there would be no need.

"Why do you have so many dramas? Go away." Zhao Chuanxin glanced at her, turned to Li Ziyu and said: "I'm free at any time, so it's better to choose a day. Tell Midun, let's go this afternoon. .”

"I……"

Li Zining was about to speak when he saw that after Zhao Chuanxin scolded her, he had turned to look at Li Ziyu and did not hesitate to talk to her.

This made her angry.

In fact, Midun did not plan to go today.

But Zhao Chuanxin issued the notice, and it was today.

Li Ziyu rolled his eyes. It doesn't matter. He has his own mouth. Doesn't he have the final say on what he wants to say?

So he cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Zhao, that Jingcheng will go back first."

"Take this licking dog away so that you don't have to mourn him here."

In fact, Li Zining just cried silently, and was still far from mourning.

The slap was really light and didn't even leave a mark on her face.

Li Ziyu smiled bitterly and pulled Li Zining, who looked unhappy, out.

After walking away, he asked softly: "Zining, does it hurt?"

"What do you think? How about I slap you?"

"I'm sorry, but you still want to beat your brother. Do you want to rebel?"

"Zhao Chuanxin is so abominable, I hate him so much."

"He's the kind of master who can't stand a loss. Why do you have to provoke him?"

"He told me to get out, can't I still talk back?"

"You are still too young. Zhao Chuanxin kills without blinking an eye. Even Midun is afraid of him. Remember from now on, don't sing the opposite tune in front of him."

"Hmph! I can't see how shameless he is, as if he has a lot of status."

"I'll go back and convince Midun to go to the New Territories today. You should follow and find an opportunity to apologize to him. From now on, Hong Kong Island will not need this person to stir up trouble, so it's better to ease the relationship."

"I'm not going, I want you to go."

"I had to go, and you had to follow."

…

Jin Yacheng, Dakou Chang and Liu Wang all came to Zheng Guohua's bakery.

At the same time, the craftsmen also arrived.

Jin Yacheng looked at the boards and glass on the floor and said in confusion: "Master, what are you doing?"

"Uncle Zheng came here and said he wanted to marry a second aunt, but he didn't have any money. Do you think that a grown-up girl and a young widow could fall in love with such a bad old man like him? I sent out my kindness and gave him He invested in the bakery, which gave him the capital to go out.”

The coming hall masters burst into laughter.

Zheng Guohua's eyes darkened. My reputation in this life will be ruined sooner or later by this kid.

He defended: "Don't listen to the boss's nonsense, it's nothing."

Zhao Chuanxin put a pencil on his ear and patted Chen Guohua on the shoulder: "Uncle Zheng, there is no need to be shy. He is a foodie and a man with great desires. There is nothing to hide."

"Go aside."

Zheng Guohua was furious and shrugged Zhao Chuanxin's hand away.

He found that Jin Yacheng and Dakou Chang seemed to take it seriously.

I couldn't help but blush.

The yellow mud rolls up the crotch.

Zhao Chuanxin used a ruler to draw lines on the board, and then used an elf carving knife to cut off the board. The board was neatly broken.

He asked: "Have you planned the scale and location of your business?"

Oguchi Chang was the first to say: "We have planned it, Master. It will be on Yunxian Street. It will be at least larger than the Lianxiang Tower."

Zhao Chuanxin drew a few lines on the board with a pencil and carved them according to the shape.

He said: "What is your project? A Chinese-style restaurant or a Western-style restaurant? Where is the profit point? Who is the audience?"

Dakuchang, who was full of confidence, was speechless: "This, this project is a restaurant, a Chinese bar, where people come to drink and eat to make money, and the audience is anyone can come to eat."

laugh……

Zhao Chuanxin laughed out loud.

“Anyone can come and eat.

Most of the people coming and going on Unzen Street are foreigners and compradors pretending to be foreigners.

Do you think they usually like to go to Chinese restaurants or Western restaurants? "

"This is a Western-style restaurant." Daguchi Chang said uncertainly.

"Then you build a Chinese restaurant on Yunxian Street and operate it by yourself every day?"

Zhao Chuanxin raised the wooden board and vigorously shook off the sawdust on it.

When the sawdust fell away, a lifelike old foreign man wearing a chef's hat appeared.

Everyone looked at it in shock.

Zhao Chuanxin comes across as moody and cruel.

The more so, the greater the gap at this time.

A boss who can sculpt and paint, but also knows how to work as a carpenter?

After the surprise, everyone broke into cold sweat again.

He only thought about a better tomorrow, but found that even the way of doing business was being trampled under his feet in front of the boss.

What profit points and audience groups they had never thought about before.

What kind of fairy words are these?

I just feel like I'm done with the business.

Just sit at home and count money.

Who would have thought that there are so many ways?

Zhao Chuanxin handed the woodblock print to Uncle Zheng: "Look at this and find a place to put it. Most of the people who come to buy bread are foreign devils and fake foreign devils. When they see this old foreign man, they will subconsciously think that these breads are made by foreigners. , maybe it will promote business.”

Zheng Guohua took the board and was speechless for a long time.

That complicated mood can probably only be described as "I am Cao".

So versatile!

Then, Zhao Chuanxin turned around again, spitting and criticizing: "Dakuchang, is this shit in your head? My money didn't come from the strong wind, it was saved by my neighbors with great effort!

If your mother-in-law used her brain, she would never come up with such a bad idea. "

Dakou Chang was speechless. He couldn't figure out why his neighbor was helping Zhao Chuanxin save money. He said, "Master, where can I open a restaurant?"

"I don't think you can open a restaurant with your IQ. Instead, open a chain restaurant. Go and investigate and see the restaurants of various grades. Who dines there every day and how many people come in and out every day. If it's convenient, go in and make statistics. Their consumption per meal. Once these are tallied up and you take a look at the data, wouldn’t it be clear at a glance? Even a pig would probably understand how to open a store.”

This is not Zhao Chuanxin's boast.

I once had a girlfriend who wanted to open a milk tea shop. Zhao Chuanxin taught her to conduct inspections in this way, which would definitely be better than opening a shop blindly.

Not only Oguuchang, but others also suddenly realized.

If you have never eaten pork, you can observe how the pigs run.

The clouds have cleared and the mist has dispersed, bringing great enlightenment!

"High, the leader is really tall!"

Jin Yacheng gave a thumbs up and expressed sincere admiration.

"Gao? Let me ask you, where do you want to sell seafood?"

There was a flattering smile on his face, and his golden teeth froze: "I, I also sell in busy places."

"Bah!" Zhao Chuanxin said in disgust: "Midun has been building the road from Kowloon to the New Territories, Kowloon to Guangzhou, and the opening of this railway since he took office. Do you know what it means?

Hong Kong Island is short of supplies, and eggs, milk, meat, and vegetables need to be supplied from the mainland. The opening of this road means that a large number of agricultural and sideline products will be continuously sent through the railway. The New Territories, which are still in decline now, will be the places with the largest population in the future.

The agricultural and sideline products market naturally deals with the largest group of transactions, is there any need to think about such a thing? Can't you make a seafood + farmer's market? "

Midun is indeed talented in economics.

His emphasis on transportation was almost obsessive.

His vision is also very accurate.

If factories are opened and satellite cities are built in the New Territories, the population will inevitably increase dramatically.

Especially in the future, the area between Shenzhen and Hong Kong Island will have a bright future by inheriting the past and linking up with the future!

The seafood and agricultural products market is a business for the common people.

The more people there are, the more prosperous the business will be.

Jin Yacheng felt his scalp numb after hearing this.

It is inspiring and enlightening.

"Master, master, you are really a genius!"

Zhao Chuanxin interrupted him: "It is a fact that everyone knows that I am a genius. Do I need you to remind me?"

The gold teeth become a symbol of serenity.

At this time, Prince Liu, who had the most lively mind, took the initiative to speak without waiting for Zhao Chuanxin to ask: "Master, I want to open theaters of different grades, with one threshold for the rich and one for the common people who have no worries about food and clothing."

This surprised Zhao Chuanxin: "I didn't expect there was someone with a good brain."

This is like the difference between high-end entertainment venues and mass-market KTVs.

Poor people also have entertainment needs.

King Liu was overjoyed to be praised by the genius leader.

Others looked at King Liu jealously.

This bitch, after all, is a stable driver, his brain is very fast.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "I will give you three more days to prepare. When you are ready, go to the Lugang Town Charity Association to find me. This afternoon, you first go and cheer for me."

Now that we have peace talks with Midun, there is no need to hide anymore.

He can go to the charity meeting openly.

Dakuchang suddenly asked dryly: "Master, what's that? When the restaurant opens, can you help me decorate it?"

He saw the drawing of the bakery and it was so beautiful.

I saw Zhao Chuanxin's amazing carving skills and carpentry skills.

When the time comes, wouldn't it be a pleasure if the headmaster helps him decorate it?

If you have face, the restaurant can still be beautiful.

"I advise you not to have such unreasonable thoughts."

Zhao Chuanxin immediately refused.

Disappointment showed on everyone's faces.

Zhao Chuanxin added: "At most I will draw the drawings for you and do the rest by yourself. What's the use of you after I've done it?"

Everyone has a sense of happiness that was lost and found!

…

Li Ziyu used his own method to persuade Midun to go to the New Territories in the afternoon.

Just as he was about to leave, Midun stopped him: "Li, although we have temporarily reached a cooperation with Zhao Chuanxin, I really can't bear to see him being arrogant and domineering. You can think of a way to do this without destroying this cooperation." , give him a showdown."

Li Ziyu, who survived in the cracks, secretly blamed himself for not investigating Zhao Chuanxin in the first place.

too difficult.

He still had to rack his brains to think. With Zhao Chuanxin's temper, if he went too far, he would definitely explode on the spot.

Midun would not be satisfied if it was neither painful nor itchy, or even difficult to detect.

After a while, he came up with an idea.

"Sir, last time, the businessman from the Duke of Devonshire's family gave you a Mastiff. That dog is very fierce, why not take it with you when the time comes to scare Zhao Chuanxin?"

Midun likes this tune.

Riding a horse to hunt, holding the yellow on the left and holding the blue sky on the right, this is a great display of masculinity.

When Zhao Chuanxin saw this ferocious dog, if he showed any fear, he could humiliate him with a teasing tone and make him speechless.

If he gets angry, he says to himself that he has no sense.

It would be better if he endured it.

After thinking about this, Midun patted Li Ziyu on the shoulder: "Li, it has to be you!"

…

In the harbor, Zhao Chuanxin hired a ship to carry Jin Yacheng and Dakuchang. Liu Wang and a few others, as well as Mi Shan, arrived at Tsim Sha Tsui on the north shore.

In the last century, some British sailors drank and made trouble here, beating villagers to death. This was one of the triggers of the Opium War.

This is the future terminus of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, so today’s trip begins here.

Zhao Chuanxin came early.

He took people for a stroll along the coastline.

This is currently a residential area for foreigners, with four-story hotels and all kinds of glamorous bungalows.

On the beach, Zhao Chuanxin could see the gray Heitoujiao.

A bit broken.

"Master, when will Midun and the others arrive?"

Jin Yacheng asked next to him.

"I don't know, he's so arrogant that he even asked me to wait for him here."

Zhao Chuanxin arrived late on purpose, but he didn't expect Midun to be even later.

He can talk about Midun without any scruples, but Jin Yacheng, Dakou Chang, and King Liu don't dare.

Mishan stretched out his big head and arched his head towards Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin took out radish and green vegetables and stuffed them into its mouth.

Mishan ate so happily that his eyes narrowed.

King Liu looked at it and marveled: "The master's horse is very spiritual. Maybe it was the mount of Buddha in his previous life."

Although he is nicknamed "King Liu", he has never even ridden a horse in his life.

This "骝" is not that "骝".

"Buddha." Zhao Chuanxin dismissed it. "I will ride it in this life, and Buddha will ride it in the next life. Then you can praise Buddha's horse for its spirituality."

King Liu: "..."

Everyone was stunned.

Don’t you even take the Buddha seriously?

It’s a joke, it’s called Xuantian Sect, it can be regarded as a cultivation sect, but it talks about Buddha every day, what kind of decency does it have?

Zhao Chuanxin patted Mi Shan on the head and said: "Thousand-mile horses often exist, but Bole does not always exist. I was humiliated in the hands of slaves and died in a stable. Obviously, I am the Bole of this generation."

"..."

So we will chat to death!

While chatting, a Star Ferry slowly entered the harbor.

Zhao Chuanxin knew that this was probably the vehicle Midun and the others took, but he did not greet him and continued to lead his horse for a walk on the beach.

Sure enough, a group of people came from the port.

The leader was none other than Midun, who had met once before.

Midun led a large dog that was almost one meter tall and walked towards this side.

The dog was tall, burly, well-proportioned, with a fierce face and a terrifying roar.

Behind Zhao Chuanxin, the expressions of Dakou Chang, Jin Yacheng and Liu Wang all changed slightly.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't pay much attention to the dog, he just observed whether the people Midun brought were armed.

He must be on guard.

After getting closer, Midun suddenly let go of the dog leash in his hand.

The big dog bolted forward.

Several people behind Zhao Chuanxin couldn't help but take a step back.

Zhao Chuanxin's expression remained normal. After realizing that although the other party had a weapon, he did not take it out, he turned his attention to the big dog held by Midun.

Midun couldn't help but laugh proudly when he saw Zhao Chuanxin's followers retreating in fear.

"Old man, why are you laughing?"

However, Zhao Chuanxin didn't give him any face at all, and called him an old man.

Midun is the youngest governor ever on Hong Kong Island.

This has always been something he was proud of.

Now being called an old man, I immediately got annoyed.

"Zhao, watch your words, I am not old."

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, he doesn't look like someone who is almost sixty."

Midun was furious: "I'm only 44 years old this year!"

"Hai, don't worry about those details." Zhao Chuanxin looked like he was fussing over Midun. This immature approach was helpless. Then he said: "Old man, what's wrong with your dog? Why does it keep barking? Do you want me to take care of it for you?"

First, he was said to be an old man under sixty, and secondly, Zhao Chuanxin didn't seem to be intimidated at all.

Midun's good mood just now disappeared.

He smiled sinisterly and said, "Zhao, if you have a way to discipline it, then just give it a try."

This is what you said.

Zhao Chuanxin first turned around and put two balls of cotton into Mishan's ears: "Don't be afraid for a while."

Then, he walked one meter away from the big dog and leaned over slightly.

Li Ziyu, Li Zining, Jin Yacheng, Dakuchang, Liu Wang and others couldn't help but sweat for Zhao Chuanxin.

When the big dog saw someone provoking him, he pulled the leash straight, roaring and being flung away.

Zhao Chuanxin stared at it.

Midun looked on with cold eyes, thinking that one look could scare it. Do you think you are a tiger?

Which material...

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly opened his mouth: "Get out!"

The big dog suddenly stopped rushing forward, his roar stopped abruptly, his eyes widened, he turned around and ran away!
