Cucumber Li, Li Ji, Zheng Tong, Guo Sheng, these four people, since the 90s of the last century, they have been together and are known as the new four families of Xiangjiang.

There are new ones, and naturally there are old ones.

The old four families are He Li Luoli, or He Li Li Zhou.

Anyway, most of them were those families that rose to prominence in the late 19th century and were very brilliant in the early and mid-last century.

At that time, the four old families, each with their own ability, occupied the top spot on Hong Kong Island for decades.

The new four families, almost all of them, relied on the real estate that has risen frantically on Hong Kong Island since the 70s, and through various monopoly companies, they only took the opportunity to reach the top after the large-scale retreat of the old British people.

Even so, the old four have not completely disappeared. They are in Xiangjiang, a bit like the current American Mellon family.

After hundreds of years of reproduction, the family has many children, and its branches are scattered in various industries on Hong Kong Island.

On weekdays, they don't look as dazzling as the four dazzles they have now. But if you really want to be more serious, the influence in all aspects may not be comparable to the new four.

Of course, now on the bright side, the most prominent in Xiangjiang is still the new four.

These four families monopolize most of HK's industries.

They are based in HK and operate a variety of businesses around the world.

However, it turns out that in Hong Kong they are dragons and tigers. But once they leave Hong Kong, most of them become worms outside......

It can only be said that the special environment of Xiangjiang back then created them and a large number of rich people.

If they are put in a broader environment, such as the international community, to compete.

There is absolutely no way for them to gain their status in Xiangjiang.

In addition to these four majors, there are naturally many other wealthy people in Xiangjiang.

Inferior Chinese billionaires such as "Fan Liu", as well as forces left over from ghosts such as Swire, Jiadao, Jardine Matheson, and HSBC.

Again, the number is even higher.

A small Xiangjiang city, there was also a magnificent and treacherous era back then.

In addition to these glamorous rich and conglomerates born in the great era.

The city's gray area used to be a source of curiosity to outsiders.

He also made a lot of movies, which fascinated many children who couldn't see everything.

In the new century, the sun is shining, and these grays are back where they should be.

Instead of being as arrogant and domineering as before, it is impossible to live forever......

Ge Lianghui of the number group is such a character.

In the 80s and 90s of the last century, in that somewhat chaotic era.

Ge Lianghui's power is far more than ten times stronger than now.

Well, it's the same as the other big names in the gray area back then.

After the sun fell, the rats ran to death, and most of them hid like Ge Lianghui and lived a well-behaved life.

So now Ge Lianghui has lost the momentum of the past.

Of course, even if there is no previous "one-handed covering".

These people are also more arrogant than ordinary people.

There are a lot of them, and they are also a little richer than the average person.

Even if there is no lawless arrogance like before, there are still no ordinary people who dare to provoke it.

On the morning of this day, Ge Lianghui, who was already in his sixties, went to the Lu Yu Tea Room on Shistanhang Street in Central to have afternoon tea as usual.

Lu Yu Tea Room has a history of more than 60 years.

After so many years, it has always maintained the style of the old-style Xiangjiang teahouse.

Its interior decoration can be described as antique. The old waiters dressed in traditional Tang costumes and the nostalgic dishes make it easy to feel that they are drinking tea here.

Immersing yourself in it will give you the feeling of returning to Hong Kong Island for 5 or 60 years.

At that time, it happened to be the most glorious years for people like Ge Lianghui.

What's more, back then, Lu Yu's tearoom was still one of their favorite occasions for people like them to "talk about numbers".

As soon as people get old, they like to be nostalgic.

Ge Lianghui came every day, saying that he was tasting the delicious dim sum in the tea room.

It is better to remember his lost youth and the glory of the past.

On this day, I sat in a Mercedes-Benz car that most ordinary people on Hong Kong Island could not afford to sit in.

Ge Lianghui got off the bus near Lu Yu's tea room.

After getting out of the car, Ge Lianghui's many younger brothers and horses immediately scattered around him to guard, forming a vacuum.

In fact, Hong Kong Island today is no longer the situation it was back then.

Seeking revenge on the street is very rare after entering the new century.

Master Rabbit is kind-hearted and can't see this kind of scene.

Hong Kong Island no longer has the kind of big scenes in those movies where the streets cut each other off.

It's just that Ge Lianghui started to put this kind of score more than 20 years ago.

Even if there is no need to put it now, one of the top elders of the number group still feels that this kind of battle is indispensable.

And some citizens passing by, or foreign and foreign tourists who come to travel, see this kind of scene, of course, they will not stupidly come up to it.

They just watched and waited from afar, their eyes curious, somewhat awe-inspiring.

This makes Ge Lianghui quite proud that he is a big man traveling and avoiding idle people.

Although it is not as beautiful as before, Ge Lianghui feels that he is now one of the big names in the city.

Even if it's at the bottom, it's even higher than the average person.

In this way, the two horses in front of him opened the way, and Ge Lianghui took the lead and walked forward.

But Ge Lianghui and his party were stopped at the door of Lu Yu's teahouse by two black and white giants in black suits, burly figures, and grim faces.

Seeing two black ghosts and white ghosts blocking the way, Ge Lianghui couldn't help frowning slightly.

If it had been before, even if it was these guys, they would have faced the ghost old man on Hong Kong Island.

Many times I will be afraid to retreat, after all, in that era, everyone who understands understands.

But now, it's a new century.

Ge Lianghui is not as afraid of old age as before.

"Hey, do it. were going up for tea. you go away。 ”

The younger brother who led the way can even speak a few simple words of English.

“stop! go bad shine!” (Stop!) Stand back and dodge! ）

The white giant man was expressionless, and shouted loudly at Ge Lianghui's younger brother, who was also one of the big red sticks of Double Flowers.

Once one of the big red sticks with double flowers, where has it been yelled at like this?

Even his eldest Ge Lianghui never yelled at him like this.

At that moment, his face was agitated, and he was about to scold back, and his hands were still waving subconsciously, looking like he was going to do it.

I just didn't bring a watermelon knife, and I don't want to bring that thing now.

Before the little brother of the double flower big red stick made a move, Ge Lianghui's Tong Kong shrank suddenly, and suddenly his face changed drastically.

The former elder of the rivers and lakes has full experience. These experiences made Ge Lianghui keenly aware that the two foreigners had begun to put their hands on their waists and stare at him with a gaze full of cold scrutiny.

[Lose Naxing, it's the 21st century, won't anyone dare to bring a wooden warehouse on the street openly, right? ] 】

In a panic, a few policemen suddenly walked over to the side. uniformed police officer.

The former elder of the rivers and lakes was like being amnestied, and hurriedly jumped to the side of the strip, "Sir, I want to report." Report that the two ghosts have a problem, look at their waists, what is that not a wooden warehouse? ”

】

As soon as the words came out, Ge Lianghui found three strips in front of him, and the one at the head was his "acquaintance", whose name was Chen Jiajun.

When Ge Lianghui began to cover the sky with one hand in the 80s, the Chen family was not as old as it is now, and the two often "interacted" at that time.

Thanks to the "blessing" of the ghost elder, Ge Lianghui has not been brought to justice.

"Rotten Boy! What are you doing here?! Chen Jiajun frowned.

If it was before, Ge Lianghui even dared to choke back.

But now, Chief Superintendent Chen has dozens of ways to make Ge Lianghui unhappy.

People were under the eaves, and the elders of the rivers and lakes had to smile and say:

"Sir, I just want to go in and have tea. But you see......"

At this time, Ge Lianghui already felt that the situation was not simple.

Because Chen Jiajun and his two sliver horses had a feeling of indifference to the two ghost elders who obviously held a wooden warehouse at the door of Lu Yu's teahouse.

", Lu Yu's teahouse is not open today, how far is it, how far is it, understand? Otherwise, your mahjong room and KTV bar will be in trouble, you know? ”

Chen Jiajun reprimanded directly.

If it had been before, as the top elder of the number group, Ge Lianghui would have to go back for the sake of face.

Now, being scolded by Chen Jiajun like this, Ge Lianghui could only blacken his face, shouted "go", turned around and left.

"Phew—"

Looking at Ge Lianghui, who hadn't gone far yet, Chief Superintendent Chen snorted, "What age is it, it's still mixed xxx!" ”

Ge Lianghui didn't go far, but hid in the distance and observed the vicinity of Lu Yu's teahouse.

At this time, Ge Lianghui discovered that today's Central Shistanhang Street is very unusual.

Although there are still passers-by, or tourists passing by from time to time.

The vehicles on the road didn't stop much.

But near Lu Yu's tea room, there were many vehicles parked, and some of them were simply illegal. And the number plates of these vehicles are known to many of Ge Lianghui's younger brothers.

Ge Lianghui's younger brother said that they are all the cars of the elders of the Central Police Station and even other police stations nearby......

Ordinary people can't recognize it, but Ge Lianghui has "professionals" under him, who specialize in remembering these numbers.

"Bad boss party, huh? Could it be that the chief is drinking tea on it? But I haven't heard of the reason why the chief uses the ghost old bodyguard......"

Hiding in his car, Ge Lianghui, the former elder of the rivers and lakes, was very curious about who was drinking tea in Lu Yu's tearoom at the moment.

And Ge Lianghui was extremely curious in Lu Yu's tearoom.

At this moment, it is indeed as Chen Jiajun said, he was temporarily wrapped.

However, the one who drank tea in it was not the Hong Kong Island Governor that Ge Lianghui imagined.

Rather, a foreigner.

Lu Yu Tea Room has three floors, the first floor is the individual customer reception area, the second and third floors are the group reservation area, under normal circumstances, the guests who do not want to be disturbed are in the downstairs box.

But today, none of the upstairs boxes were open.

Downstairs, there is an individual reception area that can accommodate up to hundreds of guests, although there are also two dozen people.

But there were only two people, sitting opposite each other in the middle of the seat.

Everyone else was standing.

One of them is naturally a big capitalist from the United States, the world's richest man Abel Smith.

The other old gentleman, who is very old, is a Chinese. This old man is not very famous internationally.

Out of Hong Kong Island and the Chinese circle, more than 99% of people have never heard of it.

But in this city, many times now, he speaks more effectively than the so-called old four and new four.

Antique, quite charming tea room.

The old man spoke proficient English, smiled and gave Abel very enthusiastically, introducing the signature dishes of the Lu Yu Tea Room:

"Mr. Smith, look at this slippery chicken ball bag, it is made of shrimp, winter solitude, barbecued pork, chicken thighs, meat slippery, salted egg yolk, scallop and other materials, it should be more in line with your American taste, if you want to taste Chinese food, it is definitely a choice not to be missed."

"It's complicated, and a lot of restaurants don't have it or don't want to do it or don't do it well. Here in Lu Yu Teahouse, it is very well done, and the taste has been the same for decades. ”

Looking at the small cage in front of him, there is only one big bag of slippery chicken balls.

Abel smiled, but instead of picking up the knife and fork specially prepared for him, a foreigner, he picked up the fast son next to him.

Abel skillfully held the fast seed, sandwiched a fast seed on this traditional famous dish in Guangdong Province, and put it in his mouth and tasted it with a slightly surprised look in the official on the opposite side.

The taste is really good, and it is full of flavor when you bite into it.

But Abel didn't find it strange or aftertasted.

Because by Abel's side, there is a team of private chefs composed of the world's best chefs.

In the team, there are even Chinese food masters at the level of inland national chefs.

It would be a big mistake to think that Abel, like other foreigners, had milk steak sandwiches every day.

While maintaining the amount of calories and portions, Abel many times the food is prepared for him by a group of chefs with the best flavors in the world.

I didn't have that kind of conditions when I went out, so I only brought a Chinese chef, a barbecue master and a French chef.

"It tastes good. But it doesn't seem to be put in it? It's not authentic enough, and it should be a flavor specially prepared for foreigners. ”

Abel commented with a smile.

Yi Yiguan was really a little surprised, the old man didn't expect the world's richest man and the elder of the American consortium in front of him.

Not only is the fast son so good, but you can also taste the characteristics of this slippery chicken ball bag.

Because the normal slippery chicken ball bag is indeed to add red shallots.

But many foreigners don't like the taste of shallots.

Therefore, when preparing this dim sum for foreigners, many times, the chefs will not put the red shallots that are popular with foreigners.

Yi Guan knew this, but he didn't expect Abel to be able to eat it.

The old gentleman had to give a thumbs up and praise loudly: "Mr. Smith, you are amazing. We can eat it, and many of our own people can't eat it. ”

Abel put down the fast son, looked directly at the official of the weed, and suddenly said:

"Henry Weed, I'll call you Mr. Weed. I know you came to me over there. But I want to tell you, I won't do anything here, I'm just passing by, I want to experience the flavor of the ancient oriental country with a long civilization, and I don't have any other bad ideas, I will go to Southeast Asia in two days. You can send these words back to the other side. To tell you the truth, I'm here to travel. ”

Yi Yiguan, who was full of smiles, was stunned by Abel's straightforward words.

The old gentleman didn't expect this ghost to be so direct.

Abel is right, the old gentleman came here today to disturb Abel's emotional experience in Lu Yu's tearoom.

I really took over the task.

Who is called the identity of the old gentleman, which is the most suitable for this kind of task?

Now that Abel said this, Yi Guan felt as if his task had been completed, but as if nothing had been accomplished.

After all, he is a teenager who dares to drive a speedboat to fight pirates and bandits at sea.

Yi Guan quickly reacted and continued to smile and said:

"If that's the case, we're infinitely welcome. Not only Hong Kong Island, but also a wider range of beautiful scenery, Mr. Smith, allows you to experience the mystery and elegance of the Orient. ”

Abel shrugged his shoulders in an American style, he knew that this action was the most familiar to the Chinese for the ghost elder.

"Of course, if I have the chance, I will definitely go. Like Bill Gates, David Rockfeller's gang. ”

Bill Gates once went in 1994 in the name of leisure tourism.

David, that old fellow, has been here many times.

"Oh, maybe we can find a time now? Mr. Smith, you are very welcome. Yi Guan said with a smile.

Now is the time when investment promotion is the hottest, sudden development is sudden, and foreign investment is extremely welcome.

If the world's richest man can invest, even if the scale is not large, Yi Yiguan thinks it will be a great achievement.

During this period, even the richest man in the world went to invest.

That is to tell the world that it is a super hot land for investment, don't you see that even the richest man in the world is here?

There's a good advertising benefit in that.

What's more, the media in the United States have long made almost everyone who cares about American news know the super strength of the world's richest man in front of him.

He really wants to invest, and Yi Yiguan feels that his hand must not be small.

That is, there is both face and lining.

For a patriotic old gentleman, this is simply unwanted.

As for the rest, there is naturally a higher person to worry about......

But Abel didn't respond positively, just smiled and said, "I want to ...... There should be such a day. ”

The exact time or anything, that was not discussed at all.

And at this time, David Jones, who had been smiling and standing still beside him, also leaned down and whispered in English:

"Boss, Miss Beneteau has arrived."

Yi Guan also heard it.

The old gentleman actually came in halfway, and Abel was here today, but he didn't specially invite him, nor did he feast Abel.

He was sent to find out the American demographic.

Now I hear Abel, and I want to see others.

Yi Yiguan had already achieved his goal, he quickly stood up, and said with a sensible smile:

"Ah, since Mr. Smith, I have to see the other guests. Then I'll leave first, I'm sorry to come without telling me, and I'm sorry to disturb me. ”

Abel smiled and didn't speak again.

Yi Guan still wanted to say a few more words, but he also knew that it would be useless to say a few more words.

The old gentleman had no choice but to smile, and under the gaze of a group of ghost elders, he got up gracefully and walked outside.

When he was about to arrive at the door, Yi Guan did see a young and beautiful foreign girl who was ushered in.

Maybe it's Miss Beneteau.

He thought to himself.

The old gentleman nodded politely to the other party, which was regarded as a greeting.

The other party also returned a ladylike smile.

A few seconds later, Yi Guan walked out of Lu Yu's tea room.

The two black and white giants guarding the door ignored him, and Yi Yiguan stood at the door of the tea room and waved his hand in the direction of the north side of Stan Hang Street in Central.

His bodyguard and driver were over there, and he was asking them to come and pick him up.

Yi Guan didn't know that his appearance at the door of Lu Yu's teahouse made Ge Lianghui, who was secretly observing from a distance, startled.

"Lose that star! Tsar Weed is all in there! Could it be that the cucumbers are also in there? Maybe the chief is in a good mood today and really drinks tea in it? ”

Ge Lianghui didn't know that if they could, they really wanted to go inside and have a cup of tea with Abel.

But these Hong Kong Island tycoons, in addition to the special identity of the weed.

There are also ghost old consortia such as Jiadao, which are considered to be outside the same category.

Other Chinese tycoons, Abel didn't have the heart to meet them and drink tea.

In his eyes, this is just a group of old hats who are cowering on Hong Kong Island and occupy the land of the king.

If they go to the international market, Abel has at least 100 ways to make them cry and call their mothers......

Didn't you see that last year in London, he buried some of these people in advance?

With Abel's current position, if he attacks these people, then he really won't show mercy at all.
