Macau is controlled by the Portuguese government before it returns.

Compared with the British Empire, the Portuguese government is even worse today. It is a primary school and has weak strength. The one who can make a move now is the Portuguese football team.

Therefore, in terms of controlling Macau, these Portuguese officials who were appointed were basically all the same, just two words: greedy for money!

For them, they have already invested a lot in being able to come from Portugal to become an official in Macau. They do not bribe the upper class, do not establish relationships, and do not go through the back door. No one will delegate you to this rich and powerful place.

Since there is such a great investment, of course there must be a return. Therefore, after these Portuguese officials took office in Macau, their best skills are to make money and make money!

Of course, these things cannot be done too clearly, so at the beginning, Macau's legal system was pretty good. Although it was not as chaotic as Hong Kong, it was not that messy, but as Macau's return approached, these people became anxious.

If you can make money, make money as soon as possible, otherwise you will have nothing to make. For this reason, these Portuguese began to blatantly ask for bribes, and Macau once became an unguarded city and the people lived in a difficult situation.

Macau is small, and every inch of land is valuable. It is actually a famous "gambling city". The gambling industry and tourism industry have allowed many giants to earn a lot of gold and silver, and the wealth they own will never be spent in their lifetimes.

Nowadays, with the popularity of Macau's real estate industry, approval of land rent has become the most profitable way for Macau Portuguese officials.

This time, the three senior officials in charge of land approval for Fulihua Hotel were responsible for the approval of land in Macau.

As long as two of the three senior officials vote, the ownership of the land can be decided.

In other words, whether it is the Cha family, He family or Fu family, as long as they can win the support of two of these three senior officials, they can win the auction and rent this time.

To this end, the three major families of Fu, Cha and He have all conducted very detailed "study" of these three senior officials.

First of all, two of the three senior officials are Portuguese, and the other is a native of Macau, named Wang Zehui.

Wang Zehui is also an outlier among the officials of the Macau colonial community. He is fair and honest and does not accept bribes. His family is also well-known in Macau and belongs to the kind of "scholar family" that values ​​fame very much.

In addition, Wang Zehui's younger brother is also the boss of a newspaper in Macau, and the two have a very good relationship.

One time, in order to help the elder brother clarify that there was no bribery incident, this little guy forced his headlines in his newspaper for a week. In the end, this rumor was self-defeating, and the political opponent who wanted to attack Wang Zehui was even caught and was in a mess.

Therefore, it can be seen that Wang Zehui has a certain right to public opinion, which makes it even more difficult for him to control, and he is not a person who can just pass a little money.

After research, it was shown that this person is really hard to get started. If he doesn't do it well, he will backfire and add his reputation.

In the end, it is still easier for the other two Portuguese senior officials to deal with.

Since the two Portuguese officials were officials in Macau, of course they had to follow the local customs and take the names of being neither foreign nor foreign, so as to get closer to the citizens of Macau. The first one was originally named Eduardo Prado Coello, and after coming to Macau, he named him "Avenbo". The other one was named Christopher Lopez, and after coming to Macau, he gave himself the Chinese name "Bai Jiade".

First of all, the Cha family and the He family made their plans to attack these two foreigners, and they must grasp the vote they had in their hands.

...

In the early morning, the charming sun shines on the green palm trees, the leaves swing in the wind on the branches, and a sparrow fell on the top and chirped.

The door of the villa opened. "Ai Wenbo", a senior official in Macau, kissed his wife on the cheek and then carried her briefcase. In addition to the door, his wife and her eight-year-old daughter smiled and waved at him at the door.

"Oh God, what a wonderful morning!" Aiwenbo said to himself.

Ever since he was appointed to perform one of the three officials who approved the land lease, Aiwenbo has begun to feel that everything has become better.

The beautiful white clouds, the blue sky, the breeze blowing on his face, and the birds of joy all made him feel that life was so wonderful.

Outside, a black Bentley sedan was parked at the door of the villa, and an honest-looking driver was waiting for him.

Seeing Ai Wenbo come out, the driver hurriedly walked up to him, helped him carry his briefcase, and then helped him open the car door.

Ai Wenbo enjoys this feeling of being served, especially when he is served by these Chinese guys, feeling that he is superior and superior.

After getting in the car, Ai Wenbo picked up the morning newspaper prepared by the driver and said, "Go to the Peony Teahouse."

The driver understood that Ai Wenbo did not have breakfast at home tonight, so he wanted to go to the most famous teahouse in Macau for breakfast.

So the driver started the car and drove towards the Peony Teahouse with ease.

...

Peony Teahouse is very famous in Macau, similar to the Dragon and Phoenix Teahouse in Hong Kong. In the circle, there is "Dragon and Phoenix play with Peony, and the most exciting refreshments!"

Peony Tea House is located near Xinma Road in Macau, not far from Macau’s most famous landscape Grand Third Archway, so its business is very prosperous. Many tourists who come to Macau like to come here to eat.

Ai Wenbo is an "old customer" here and a government official. Even though the teahouse had no seats at this time, the teahouse owner still enthusiastically led him in, and then persuaded a table of guests who had just sat down and had not ordered food.

Ai Wenbo looked at the guest who was persuaded to leave and was satisfied. He was different. He was a person with high status and high status. How could these people compare with him?

After sitting down, the teahouse owner took the initiative to order dishes for Ai Wenbo again. Ai Wenbo ordered his favorite shrimp dumplings, char siu buns, egg tarts, etc.

Although he is a Portuguese, Aiwenbo is most interested in these Macau delicacies. Even in the past few years when he was an official in Macau, he has used chopsticks in a superb way. His sip of Macau dialect is even more authentic. If you don’t look at his face and only listen to the accent, you will think he is a native of Macau.

Before the refreshment came, Ai Wenbo habitually picked up hot water and scalded the bowls and chopsticks in his hands.

This habit is unique to Ai Wenbo. Although he likes the food in this teahouse, he doesn't like the hygiene here. Even if the hygiene here is already very good, he doesn't think it's good enough.

Seeing him like this, the teahouse owner who was responsible for ordering him, cursed contempt at the counter: "Ghost man!" Then he took the small steamer containing char siu buns and prepared to serve it to Ai Wenbo.

At this time, one hand stopped him.

"What are you doing?" The boss was stunned.
