No one has ever been able to dominate the trend these days.
Especially when it comes to making money,
As long as someone sees the opportunity, they will find it.
The popularity of Guangzhou Restaurant has attracted a lot of attention.
The ghost guy was also moved.
In 1945,
A foreigner named Charlie opened a nightclub called Paramount!
As soon as you see the name, you know that this foreign guy is really mischievous.
As we all know,
The Paramount is located in Shanghai.
Charlie obviously wanted to get close to Paramount.
He also made some small changes.
In order to highlight the characteristics,
From buildings to employees,
Charlie's style is all British.
This style immediately attracted all the foreigners in Hong Kong Island.
From the Governor to the common foreigners,
As long as it's from England,
All their usual entertainment and social activities are spent in Paramount!
Charlie achieved his goal.
He planted the paulownia tree.
Those wealthy Chinese who wanted to give money to the high-ranking foreign officials came to the Paramount to show their support.
The Guangzhou Restaurant was directly under pressure and had no choice but to accept it.
But again,
Good times don't last forever.
In the land of China,
The foreigners' pride is only temporary!
In 1946,
Li Caifa, a gang tycoon known as Hong Kong Island's Du Yuesheng, opened a nightclub near the Seven Sisters Bay in North Point.
Its name is Ritz Sky Club!
The Paramount that Charlie drives is just on the edge of Shanghai!
Li Caifa is different.
He was born in a foreign land.
So when he opened the Ritz-Carlton, Millenia Singapore, he brought all the luxury of the foreign concessions here!
There are complete entertainment venues such as swimming pools, golf courses, nightclubs, restaurants, chess and card rooms, etc.
the 50s,
There is such a place in a small fishing village like Hong Kong Island.
Can you believe it?
The big spenders at Ritz-Carlton, Charleston, are like those Shanghai tycoons who went south.
Not only did it shock the entire Hong Kong Island,
It also intimidated the foreigners outside!
As soon as the Ritz-Carlton, La Roche-Royal was featured in the magazine Life in the United States.
The magazine praised it as the largest entertainment venue in the Far East.
Li Caifa is even called the King of Nightclubs!
thus,
Hong Kong Island's entertainment scene is divided into three parts.
But Li Chi is always the most beautiful one!
Situ Zhiren was surprised.
The cost of staying at Ritz-Carlton, Laguna is not low.
Most people would be nervous just standing at the door and smelling the scent of cosmetics and foreign liquor.
This man is so poorly dressed.
Why are you so arrogant?
He calmly squeezed the hard object in his right palm.
Release your thumb.
The light shines a golden glow.
No need to talk about it,
Absolutely gold!
Before the 1950s,
Most of those who fled south to Hong Kong Island were wealthy people.
Most of them came from Shanghai.
These people have nothing in abundance but plenty of gold and silver!
Since they came,
Car dealerships and property markets in Hong Kong Island are booming.
Even the prices of gold and silver are soaring.
It even gave rise to a gold speculation craze!
Situ Zhiren was a little unsure.
He was going to return the gold.
"Mr. Gao, it's too expensive. It's just a small favor."
Lucas Gao held Situ Zhiren's hand and said,
"Brother, there is absolutely no reason for me to take back what I give away. If you don't want it, just throw it away!"
He followed with a bow.
"I, Gao, am grateful for what happened today, and I will definitely repay you someday."
"It's just that I have to go pick up my brother now. Sorry to delay you any longer. Bye."
Lucas Gao, who was neither humble nor arrogant and generous, gave Situ Zhiren a very good impression.
He weighed the gold in his hand.
This is at least several months' salary.
You actually told me that if I didn’t accept it, I would just throw it away?
A smile appeared on Situ Zhiren's face.
He said modestly,
"Mr. Gao, how about we make an appointment tomorrow?"
Lucas Gao smiled immediately.
"OK, bye."
The three of them hurried out.
Spencer Gao couldn't help but say,
"Brother, why are you so generous?"
He has a sharp eye.
I saw the tricks Qing Gao was going to play.
That piece of gold must be worth at least a thousand, right?
Wouldn’t that mean that all the money I earned from work during this period would have to be spent on this?
"Money is something outside of your body."
Lucas Gao smiled and said,
"It's like paying for friendship, isn't it, Lo?"
"That's what Brother said."
Adrian Lei felt itchy and couldn't scratch it.
Is Situ Zhiren willing to go to Ritz tomorrow?
He thought this was a good opportunity to make friends.
Lucas Gao then took out a golden bead from his pocket and handed it to Adrian Lei.
"Brothers are brothers, and I can't let you run in vain."
Adrian Lei shook his head firmly.
"Brother Yao, you are embarrassing me."
"If I take this money from you, am I still a human being?"
"Because we are brothers, you must take it."
Lucas Gao said earnestly,
"Otherwise, no one will be willing to help later."
He forced it into Adrian Lei's hands.
"Did Inspector Chen say when he would take care of you?"
As the sources of police officers in various areas of Hong Kong Island are very complex,
The foreigners add abcde letters in front of the police numbers to distinguish them.
in,
a refers to the police transferred from England.
This is a first-class person!
b refers to the police transferred from other British colonies,
For example, the police in the Punjab region of British India,
This is a second-class person.
Deeply trusted by foreigners!
c refers to people from Hong Kong and Guangdong.
d refers to the people of Lu!
e are the White Russians who fled south to Hong Kong Island during the First World War.
Among them, c and d are collectively referred to as Chinese police.
These people's ranks are at the lowest level in the police force.
The salary and benefits are naturally the worst.
However, as more and more people come to Hong Kong Island,
And most of them are Chinese.
The foreigners who adhered to the principle of using Chinese to control Chinese began to gradually delegate power to the Chinese police.
This gave the inspector a chance to show off his power!
However, there are also many contradictions within the Chinese police.
Mountains and rivers are broken,
We are all strangers in a foreign land.
It’s easy for people to form groups!
The key to forming a group is mainly based on local accent!
For example, people from Dongguan are one group,
The Chaoshan people are a school of thought.
The people of Lu are another faction.
There is absolutely no such thing as a Chaoshan native going to become a disciple of a Dongguan native.
That will make people look down on you!
Adrian Lei is from Chaoshan.
His background determined that he could only follow the detectives from Chaoshan.
The Chen Li that Lucas Gao was talking about was a detective from Chaoshan.
He is currently in charge of the Criminal Investigation Division in Sham Shui Po.
The majesty is definitely enough,
In the beginning, Adrian Lei was able to become a scout because of Chen Li's appreciation.
Adrian Lei said honestly,
"Uncle said he was looking for an opportunity for me."
Adrian Lei is a smart man.
He has been hugging Chen Li's thighs since he was changed into plainclothes.
I will take over the position of Chief Inspector just after Chen Li retires.
Of course,
The prerequisite is that Deleilo can come up with the money.
Otherwise, the foreigners above won't care about feelings or not.
The dead foreigners are famous for only caring about money and not people.
Lucas Gao nodded slightly.
Adrian Lei has not yet climbed up to the big fish owner,
How can the salary and the fees alone be enough to pay for the promotion?
So if you want to get rich these days, you need help from a noble person!
The DC-3 cargo plane is a noble person of Lucas Gao.
Now I have to prepare to be Adrian Lei’s benefactor!
"Alo."
Lucas Gao said casually,
"It's not about where heroes come from, miracles are created by humans."
"You are already a great man, you will be very powerful in the future!"
"Of course it will work!"
He smiled.
"Let's go buy some Western clothes together later, and go shopping at the Dali Pool tomorrow looking gorgeous!"
