Chapter 485: The Club's Influence
Shanghai French Concession Yinglin Club.
Han Lin's car could only be parked outside the gate, and Tang Minsheng and Peng Jiacui also followed, but in another car. The parking space in the courtyard is actually full, which can also be seen that the club's business is very hot, and there are many members who come to consume.
He first sent the two ladies of the Kong family to No. 383 West Aidhams Road in the French Concession, which was later Yongjia Road, where Minister Kong and his wife once lived, and after moving to Jinling, there were servants here to do daily maintenance, anyway, the Kong family was rich and rich, and it was not bad for this little money.
"Welcome boss!"
After receiving a report from the guards at the gate, the foreman Shen Xueyan and the deputy foreman Liu Nina hurriedly came out to greet them with a few waiters, the boss has not been here for a long time since the club opened.
"Inform all our members that tomorrow night in the club hall, there will be a New Year's reception for the 36th year of the Republic of China, and everyone is welcome to participate." Han Lin said casually.
"Great, some members are still asking about it, you don't have time, and the two of us can't make it up." Lyonina said with a smile.
Only when the boss Han Lin is in the club, can he invite enough guests to attend, and the members naturally have to cherish this social opportunity, his connections and influence, Shen Xueyan and Liu Nina do not have, in the eyes of the big people and members, they are just two senior waiters.
When he came to his office, Han Lin began to call and contact the military attaches of various consulates, on the one hand, it involved Gao Jianzhang's participation in the cocktail party, and he needed those consul generals to come to support the club, and on the other hand, it was intelligence, and he couldn't take other people's salaries and funds for nothing.
As for the issue of international intelligence, for Han Lin, it was not a problem at all.
"How has the club been running since it opened?" Han Lin asked.
"Although we didn't hold any more large-scale social receptions, the pomp and circumstance of the opening had already brought status and fame to the club, and diplomats from consulates around the world liked to come here to sit, drink coffee, chat, and have a private club with a membership that would not be easily disturbed, so it was quite popular." Shen Xueyan walked in with hot water and began to make tea for Han Lin.
"Tomorrow night, Gao Jianzhang, the political secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Jinling government, will personally come to experience the lively scene of the club, which is also related to the club will have a generous amount of funds, you must be prepared to receive it, so that the senior minister can feel the high level of service."
"In addition, I am working part-time in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a commissioner in Shanghai, and I am preparing to set up a commissioner's office, which makes our international club even more justifiable. By the way, when I went upstairs just now, I saw two new faces, and you guys are hiring again? Han Lin said with a smile.
"Recently, there have been a lot of beautiful girls looking for jobs in our club, most of them are Belarusian, and the rest are basically dancers and waiters in dance halls and nightclubs.
"Not only is the treatment given by the club high, but there are so many big names coming, needless to say, no one dares to bully our people here. No matter where it is, if anyone dares to make trouble, as long as they say that they are from the Yinglin Club, whether they are patrolling or gangsters, they have to take care of them. ”
"You were born in a wealthy family, you may not know much about the darkness at the bottom, the brothels in the entire Shanghai market, at least more than 2,000, live a dark life, although the dance hall is slightly better, in fact, it is not much better, I have a deep understanding, for these sisters in distress, I can help, I can't help, I can't help." Shen Xueyan said.
The grand reception held by the opening of the Yinglin Club has a very great influence, and with the passage of time, the status is getting higher and higher. Now everyone knows that this club is the most high-end high-end club in the concession area, and it is also a social place for the upper class, and the members who come and go here are either rich or expensive.
Even officials from the concession authorities, senior police officers from the police force, and diplomats from consulates general in Shanghai all come here to carry out activities, and if they want to mix in the concession, who dares to trouble the club?
Han Lin helped Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin "solve the case", the people of the three tycoon factions of the Green Gang got the order of the big guy, so they naturally took special care of the club, and the ruffians and hooligans on the street dared not to sell Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin's face, it is estimated that there are not a few.
Moreover, the service staff of the club is an absolute high income in the industry, although it cannot be compared with the income of those famous red card dancers, how many can become red cards? Not to mention anything else, just to be able to protect themselves from bullying, some girls would rather earn less money and want to work in a club.
Originally, the personnel of the club were enough, but there were many girls who came to apply for jobs, and Shen Xueyan herself was also a Paramount dancer, so she couldn't bear to refuse, so she picked the most outstanding girls among the job seekers and chose a few to stay.
"I have no objection to you helping others, several consulates have sponsorship, members have membership dues, and now the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also gives us funds, our club is not bad for this salary, it doesn't matter if you recruit more people."
"But you have to pay attention, the recruited people must be controlled in your hands, if you don't perform well, there is no need to stay, this is my international intelligence base, not a charitable place. Carefully screen the people who come to apply for jobs, there may be characters with impure intentions, and the development of the club will receive more and more attention. ”
"I don't want you to kick people out, but to discover the potential identity, control the situation of the club, and when the students of the special training class graduate, I will send a group of people to support you, before the war, the club is only a trial operation of the basic development period." Han Lin said.
"Boss, how long can you stay in Shanghai this time?" Shen Xueyan asked.
"The purpose of my visit this time is to carry out the activities of the club, you two can't afford to make up the scene, people have paid the dues, and we don't have a dance or a drinking party, which is also unreasonable. Secondly, Vice Minister Gao Jianzhang will come to inspect the city, and I will also have to prepare for the Commissioner's Office in Shanghai, and then I will work with a few foreign military attaches to fulfill my promise to them. ”
"You don't have anything urgent to deal with here, when the reception is over, I will stay for a week at most and return to Jinling, it's almost the Spring Festival of the old calendar, Gao Rui'an is going to get married, and the office is targeting the Night Rose spy organization, and there is also a large-scale arrest operation, I will come back after the operation is over." Han Lin said.
He heard from Li Shiqun's mouth that a spy in Shanghai may have infiltrated the periphery of the underground party's organization in Shanghai, and he wanted to take measures and use this incident to further enhance his weight in the hearts of Jiang and Boss Dai.
