Chapter 228: What Hong Kong Island Sees

The two Mercedes Benzes soon drove into the city, and in the 80s, Hong Kong Island was already a thriving scene of cars and buildings.

"Brother Huo, do you have any troubled boys on Hong Kong Island!"

Liu Lang suddenly asked, he had never been to Hong Kong Island in his previous life, and he naturally had no impression of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong Island did not have many characteristics, after all, the place was too small, only more than 1,000 square kilometers, and even Liu Lang's hometown of Fucheng, a small city, had thousands of ordinary kilometers.

For many years, Hong Kong Island has prided itself as an economic city and a tourist city, but when it comes to economy, after 30 years, Shenzhen and Shanghai have surpassed Hong Kong Island, and tourism is even more of a joke.

After all the calculations, Liu Lang's deepest impression of Hong Kong Island still comes from the movie in the late 90s, in which the "hot-blooded" plot is the envy of a group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenagers who are strong-blooded.

"Crazy Boy?"

Huo Tianting was stunned for a moment, the word itself is the pronunciation of Cantonese, which represents the meaning of a gangster, why did Liu Lang ask about this?

"Hehe, Liu Lang knows so much, even the old boy knows, of course Hong Kong Island has it, they are all a bunch of gangsters, they are all unemployed vagrants, and they live by fighting. ”

Huo Tianting replied casually.

"This should also be a microcosm of the rise of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island, when this place was controlled by the British, the status of the Chinese was not too high, in order to survive, they could only unite together to form various gangs, relying on their fists to protect themselves, and then the status of the Chinese became higher and higher, and the gang also stayed, and the British did not care much, the result is that the gangs gradually developed, and they also operated their own forces in many places where the government could not control, what parked, what collected the protection law, etc., it was not easy!"

Liu Lang said lightly, including Huo Tianting, everyone listened like students.

More than 20 years later, there are many articles on the Internet about gangs on Hong Kong Island, and their past and present lives are analyzed very thoroughly.

But now, no one has made a summary conclusion about these things, Liu Lang is the first, although he doesn't say much, but every sentence is reasonable, and the analysis is very thorough.

"Oh! Liu Lang, you're right, Hong Kong Island is not big, not small, but there are many gangs, more than tens of thousands, as few as 100 people, some occupy a small point of the stadium can collect fees, and those big gangs, often fight in the streets, sometimes use guns, simply do whatever they want, the government also cracked down on these old boys, but it also stopped for a few days, but it did not take long to resurge, and it was completely eliminated, which is really a headache. ”

Huo Tianting shook his head and sighed.

"The British government in Hong Kong is also perfunctory, but it will be easy to do after the return, for the country, the prosperity of Hong Kong Island is the first, if anyone dares to destroy the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, that is the enemy, for the enemy, we are never soft, when the time comes, these gangs have only two ways to go, one is to dissolve on the spot, the other is to clamp the tail and be a man, there is no other way!"

Several people in the car were silent, and at this moment they all felt the trace of domineering coming from Liu Lang, with an incomparable confidence in the domineering.

If others say this, Huo Tianting will just be a deaf ear, but Liu Lang will say it is completely different, this child has given him too many accidents, Hong Kong Island people believe in some metaphysics very much, weddings, funerals, and errands have to pay homage to some gods, Huo Tianting even thinks that this Liu Lang is afraid that a certain god in the sky has descended to earth.

"That's right, that's right, little brother Liu Lang is very right! We people are waiting to return to the embrace of the motherland, and at that time, our business will definitely be very prosperous!"

Huo Tianting couldn't stop nodding.

The car drove around the city, and Huo Tianting pointed to various buildings outside as a guide.

"This is HSBC, this is Standard Chartered, and that's Victoria Bay!"

Huo Tianting pointed and pointed.

Hearing HSBC, Liu Lang hurriedly looked out, only to see a high-rise building not far away with a completely different appearance from the surrounding buildings, with steel columns and steel trusses prominently exposed on the shape of the building, becoming the protagonist of the façade.

The bottom of the building is completely open, the escalator stretches down from the second floor, the personnel can enter the building from the escalator up, and the space in the building is also opened as much as possible, the building has been renovated several times, and now shows the achievements of modern technology everywhere, belonging to the "heavy technology" architectural style, although this kind of building is not decorated, but the actual cost is quite expensive.

On the outside, the structure of the building is fully exposed, showing the original shape of a variety of mechanical and electrical equipment, but it does not make people feel abrupt. At the same time, the appearance of the whole building is rich and varied, which is very different from the traditional skyscrapers: the eight groups of jagged combined columns seem to have the spirit of running through the sky, reminiscent of the Gothic style, while the symmetrical pattern makes it solemn and elegant, with a classicist flavor;

Liu Lang studied architecture in his previous life, and he actually knew more about architecture than other knowledge, and he also had some research on this HSBC building, but at that time it was not to study how unique its structure was, but because of the appearance of the famous Bank of China Building.

The Bank of China Building is too famous, of course, this fame is not because of the four words "Bank of China", but because the "feng shui pattern" of this building shook Hong Kong Island at that time.

After the completion of the Bank of China Building, the shape is like three sharp blades, one knife to the HSBC Bank, one knife to the British barracks, the other knife to the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, just built at the time of the Hong Kong Island is very "appropriate" heart attack died, HSBC's stock also plummeted, this time but frightened the British, HSBC senior officials hurriedly invited the "Feng Shui master" to take measures, the result is on the roof of the building to build two buildings like cannons, this "one knife and one cannon" constitutes a "knife and cannon pattern" It can be called the pinnacle of the feng shui world on Hong Kong Island.

Of course, these allusions to Liu Lang's previous life are just a joke, in the present, there is not even a shadow of the Bank of China Building, and the HSBC Building has not yet erected two "cannons", and the "big war" between the two sides will have to wait until five years later.

The car passed through the city, went up along a road, and soon drove up a beautiful mountainous area, which is said to be a mountainous area, but in fact it is a mountain bag several hundred meters high, but the mountain is overgrown with trees, and there are faint villas between the trees.

"This is the Taiping Mountain of Hong Kong Island, and it is also the best place for Hong Kong Island, standing on the top of the hill can overlook most of Hong Kong Island, and our fire family is in a position halfway up the mountain!"

Huo Tianting explained.

"This is Taiping Mountain!"
