MTL - Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong-Chapter 39 Peninsula Hotel
With the help of Hong Yihai and others, Shi Zhijian finally consigned ten bulky instant noodle machines from Wan Chai Ferry Terminal to the Yuen Long factory.
In this era, there were no convenient large-scale lifting machinery, so the work efficiency of handling was very low. After all ten machines were in place, it was almost noon.
Looking at the production line built by ten machines placed neatly in the factory, Shi Zhijian crossed his hips and was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
Shi Zhijian gave Mo Qiang a sum of money and asked him to take Daxiong and others to lunch. Although Hong Yihai insisted not to carry the fee, it was still necessary to manage a meal.
Here, Shi Zhijian brought three technicians from Dongying to further install and debug the machine.
I have to say that the old man Asakura is quite interesting. These three technicians are all the best technical talents of Jinlong Co., Ltd., and there is no additional commissioning fee or consultant fee during their stay in Hong Kong.
After debugging the machine, Shi Zhijian asked someone to arrange the three technicians to go to a nearby hotel for a rest. The three of them had to stay in Hong Kong for a month, until Shi Zhijian's production line was officially put into operation and there was no problem before they could leave.
In fact, Asakura also has its own purpose in doing so, to let the three technicians collect the specific data of the new machine, so that they can grasp the first-hand information in the future sales.
After everything was done, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shi Zhijian left the factory and was about to find a random noodle stand to eat chopped noodles when he saw the familiar Bentley car slowly approaching.
The Bentley stopped in front of Shi Zhijian. Xu Shixun's sidekick, A Xiang, got out of the car and said to Shi Zhijian with a flat face, "Mr. Shi, do you have time? Our young master wants to treat you to dinner!"
Shi Zhijian had long expected that Xu Shixun would find him, so he nodded and said, "I just happen to be a little hungry, so I'll harass San Shao!"
Shi Zhijian was about to get into the car here, when Du Qiang came back from dinner with Daxiong and the others, everyone bit toothpicks in their mouths and blew water, and when they turned their faces, they saw Shi Zhijian getting into the Bentley again.
Silly Qiang shouted, "Ajian, what are you doing?"
Shi Zhijian then said, "I'll do something! If you guys are all right, help me clean up first!"
Silly Qiang remained silent.
Da Daxiong, Chen Jinlong, Chen Jinhu and others bit their toothpicks, stunned, and said in their hearts, three times! This Bentley has carried Jian brother three times! It seems that the relationship between Xu Sanshao and Brother Jian is really strong, and the iron is smoking!
…
Ah Xiang also felt that the relationship between his young master and Shi Zhijian was too "iron".
He was driving in the front driver's seat and couldn't help but glanced at Shi Zhijian through the rearview mirror.
A Xiang couldn't understand why the third young master always let himself drive Shi Zhijian.
In the past, the three young masters also made many friends, but none of them had the same treatment as Shi Zhijian.
After all, his Axiang is also a "follower" of a wealthy young man with a head and face, but again and again, he drives this young master Shi, and those who don't know it think he is his driver!
Ah Xiang murmured carefully all the way, and soon drove to the "Peninsula Hotel" located in the southern section of the Kowloon Peninsula.
The Peninsula Hotel is one of the top hotels in Hong Kong in this era. It is not only a paradise for the rich, but also the first choice for foreign VIPs to come to Hong Kong.
The hotel was completed and opened in 1928, and the construction cost alone cost 3 million Hong Kong dollars. Calculated at the price of 40 years ago, it can be said to be an exorbitant price.
At this moment, under the leadership of Ah Xiang, Shi Zhijian followed him to the Sunlight Cafe on the third floor of the Peninsula Hotel.
The cafe is located on the garden balcony on the third floor. There are several parasols on the balcony. Men and women in suits and leather shoes sit under the umbrellas, bathing in sunlight, overlooking the scenery and drinking coffee.
A Western band played "Carmen" on the violin by the side, and waiters in maid costumes walked around with drinks.
Shi Zhijian saw Xu Shixun and Xu Sanshao from a distance. Xu Sanshao was wearing a bright red suit, leaning dazzlingly under the sunshade on the easternmost side of the balcony, yawning lazily, taking advantage of those gentlemen and ladies not paying attention. , also buttoned his nostrils, and then tapped his mouth indifferently.
Shi Zhijian walked over, but before he reached him, Xu Shixun had already seen him, he sat up straight, raised his arms and waved to Shi Zhijian.
"Three Young Masters, are you so excited to come here for coffee?" Shi Zhijian smiled and sat down on the chair opposite Xu Shixun.
Xu Shixun snapped his fingers beautifully at the waitress and pointed to the table: "Add a cappuccino, thank you!"
Then he took out a cigarette and handed it to Shi Zhijian: "You can see from my situation, I just woke up last night, so boring!"
After a pause, he said, "You don't believe me when I said it. I still can't tell whether it's morning or noon! Have you eaten anything? Why don't you eat 'breakfast' with me!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and touched the match, and said, "I came here to eat rice. I heard that the steak in this western restaurant is very good!"
"You know the goods!" Xu Shixun smiled, "The sirloin steak here tastes great, but I like filet mignon the most!"
Shi Zhijian touched it for a long time before realizing that he didn't bring any matches, so he asked Xu Shixun, "Is there a fire?"
Xu Shixun looked surprised: "I'm not on fire either! I've never brought fire! It's always that boy Ah Xiang who helped me set fires! By the way, Ah Xiang, where did he die?"
Ah Xiang was smart, UU reading www.uukanshu.com thought that the third young master was going to have a private interview with Shi Zhijian, so he disappeared.
Shi Zhijian reluctantly stood up, walked over to a blond woman at the next table, greeted her in proficient English, and asked if she could borrow a match.
The young girl was wearing a top hat with feathers, and she was puffing with a slender "Rothmans" cigarette in her mouth. She was skilled and looked like an old smoker.
Young girls also like handsome boys, especially Shi Zhijian, who is personable and has a good temperament. He immediately took out a match and handed it to him.
Shi Zhijian took the match and was about to show it off to Xu Sanshao, when he saw Xu Shixun sitting on the chair with a box of matches in his hand and shaking him smugly, but it was a free match prepared by the restaurant for the guests.
Shi Zhijian shrugged, lit a cigarette by the fire, and chatted with the foreign girl for a few more words, which made the foreign girl giggled. Then he bowed politely and returned to his seat.
"What did you say to that foreign girl? You looked so amused, she winked like silk, she leaned back and forth, she was about to squirt water!"
"I'll tell her that if she likes it, I'll introduce you to her!"
"Ah? I didn't expect you to betray your brother for a match?!" Xu Shixun pretended to be angry.
"Also, I, Xu Shixun, are very fond of Chinese men, and I don't like foreign girls the most! They are so sassy! There is a sleazy smell on my body, and I can't wash it off no matter how much I take a shower!"
Shi Zhijian watched Xu Sanshao's "Best Actor" performance speechlessly, and said with a smoke ring, "If you can't wash it off, keep it. Anyway, she's a good match for you!"
Xu Shixun rolled his eyes: "You are not allowed to talk about me like that! Where did I go wrong?"
Shi Zhijian raised his legs and pointed at Xu Shixun's crotch while holding the cigarette: "Then please pull up the pants chain first!"
