This historic hotel was a favourite of the British colonists and a popular destination for the rich and famous, offering the finest Western cuisine and the most authentic Cantonese cuisine, as well as beauties from all over the world, provided you are entitled to enjoy them, not how rich you are.

At night, the Garden Hotel is lit up with neon lights and bustling traffic.

The café on the first floor and a dozen famous luxury clothing and perfume brands from Europe are still open, and the lobby on the second floor is where the guests of the rich and the wealthy talk while enjoying the food and dancing to the soft and beautiful music, many major arms and medicines and drugs and even the opium trade are negotiated here.

The third to fifth floors of the Garden Hotel are luxury rooms, most of them are Hong Kong wealthy and white people staying in Hong Kong, each room can look out over the blue waters of Victoria Bay, the decoration of the rooms is extremely luxurious, the lowest price of the room is 12 pounds or 25 dollars a day, although it is very expensive, but you have to make a reservation to stay in.

The top six floors of the Garden Hotel are the exclusive clubs of the British colonists of Hong Kong, a very mysterious place that is never open to the public, and no one knows how magnificent it is, and what kind of pleasure it can be bought, because in addition to the nobles who are high-ranking officials of the colonial government of Hong Kong, the rest are shareholders of the major banks of the rich country.

The limousine, with the license plate of the Governor's Palace, skimmed the dimly lit hotel lane and drove into the parking lot at the back of the side before slowly coming to a stop.

Zhang Hanting, the special assistant to the civil affairs officer in a black dress, stepped forward with a smile and opened the door for the guests in the car diligently, but he didn't expect the back seat of the car to be empty, so he hurriedly closed the door and walked outside the cab, and said with a wry smile to the driver who rolled down the window: "The second young master really shouldn't drive by himself, I'm afraid you are the only one in Hong Kong who never pays attention to your identity." ”

Zheng Yi smiled slightly, opened the door and got out of the car, nodded to the fast-coming car boy, walked to the elevator in front of him side by side with Zhang Hanting, looked at the lights around him, and asked casually: "I have never been to this place, and it seems that I am not qualified to mix with that group of old men...... Why did the old man call me over suddenly? ”

Zhang Hanting replied in a low voice: "I don't know what's going on, after the dinner, the lord was invited by His Excellency the Governor to play snooker together, and after playing two games, His Excellency the Governor suddenly said that he wanted to see you, so the lord asked me to call you." ”

Zheng Yi was slightly surprised, and saw two white British policemen standing at the entrance of the elevator with loaded guns, so he didn't continue to ask, and after entering the elevator, because the waiter was beside him, it was not good to continue to ask Zhang Hanting, so he could only watch the elevator slowly climb.

Zhang Hanting was very relaxed, tidied up the elbow folds of Zheng Yi's casual suit, and complained in a low voice that Zheng Yi should not come in such casual clothes.

"Ding-dong-"

After a crisp bell, the elevator stopped at the entrance to the sixth floor.

Four male and female waiters from England and Ireland lined up on either side, and when he saw the guests coming, Zheng Yi shook his head and followed Zhang Hanting into the dimly lit hall, and walked deeper from the passage with thick woolen carpets on the left, turning through two resplendent leisure areas, and then arriving at the door of the gym where the colonial dignitaries were.

Although the two big men standing on both sides of the gate saluted Zheng Yi slightly, their eagle-like eyes were always vigilantly staring at Zheng Yi's face, as if they wanted to imprint Zheng Yi's appearance and characteristics firmly in their minds.

After entering the Western-style gold-painted gate, Zhang Hanting led Zheng Yi to turn left again, came to the door of Hall 1, which closed the door, and whispered to the middle-aged British man guarding the door.

The meticulous Englishman in the dress smiled at Zheng Yi, opened the door, and let Zheng Yi enter by himself.

Zheng Yi thanked him in a low voice, raised his feet and entered the half-open and half-hidden door, and saw his father Zheng Lanting and Governor Smith at a glance. Clementi sits on a semicircular sofa and drinks coffee.

The tall, thin, smiling Governor is the 17th Governor of Hong Kong, has been in office for three years, is very enthusiastic about Chinese culture, and likes to build a large number of projects to develop the economy, and generally has a good reputation, the newly opened Kowloon Hospital and St. Mary's Hospital were built after he took office.

Zheng Yi stepped forward quickly, bypassed the central snooker table, came to the fifty-year-old Monetary Ventei, bowed and greeted, and then bowed to his father, and the middle-aged Englishman who followed in brought an ivory saucer, put a cup of hot coffee on the empty table opposite the governor, and then lifted the Sikkim coffee pot to refill the cup for the governor and Zheng Lanting.

Zheng Lanting motioned for his son to sit on the sofa opposite, smiled at the Governor, and explained in a low voice in pure English: "The Governor admires the "Hong Kong Economic Outlook" you wrote very much, so I specially called you here to talk about it. ”

"In addition, the Governor is very interested in what you said in your article, 'both industry and industry', and wants to know what you think is the specific vision for Hong Kong's industrial development."

Zheng Yi was deeply surprised that the "Hong Kong Economic Outlook" was completely written by his father under the pressure of his father, and it had only been published in the "Oriental Daily" for three days, and Zheng Yi was busy day and night to establish a well-structured organization and develop business, and he almost forgot the article he wrote casually, not to mention that several of his views from the depths of his memory had aroused strong repercussions from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and had a huge impact on the colonizers and upper classes who were exploring the development path of Hong Kong.

"Young man, don't be restrained, your father and I have known each other for eight years, and we are old friends." Clementi smiled kindly.

Zheng Yi nodded apologetically, then looked at his father and asked with a puzzled expression, "I'm not mentally prepared at all, what should I say?" ”

Zheng Lanting looked at his son unhappily and reminded: "Your article only puts forward a programmatic development direction, and there is no specific implementation strategy...... Everyone in the business world knows very well that how to develop in the industrial field has been the focus of debate for more than a decade, and this is what we want to hear. ”

Zheng Yi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Excellency the Governor, do you think so too?" ”

Clementi: "Dear Paul, don't you believe in your father? ”

Zheng Yi hurriedly explained: "Oh no, no! I have great faith in my father, and I admire his personality and ability, and I ask this because I want to know what is going on tonight, in order to save your precious time, knowing that the issue of industrial development that we are about to discuss is too much and too broad in scope to be focused on. ”

"Excellent! I can see that you are a rigorous and pragmatic person, and I am looking forward to the next discussion. Clementi's tone was gentle and his smile was very kind.
