Therefore, this time, Xue Anyuan's confidant Qi Rusheng, whom Hu Liming had befriended sincerely, received news of Xue Xiang's arrival. Hu Liming immediately took it into consideration and prepared for such an incident. Now, seeing that Xue Xiang left his phone number with everyone,
Hu Liming knew that his thoughts had been seen through by Xue Xiang, and after Xue Xiang saw through it, he did not blame him and even helped him. How could he not be inexplicably moved?
After some pleasantries and a lot of time, Xue Xiang was chatting animatedly with everyone, but Hu Liming took the initiative to relieve Xue Xiang, saying that Xue Xiang had something urgent to do when he was crossing the sea, and when he returned, everyone would make a plan together.
Drunk. At this point, Xue Xiang was able to escape.
Hu Liming pulled Xue Xiang over and wanted to say some words of thanks. Xue Xiang stopped waving, patted him on the shoulder, shook hands firmly, got in the car, and left in a puff of smoke... Set foot on Hong Kong Island again, Xue Xiang Shao had no choice but to leave.
I was shocked by the power of capital once. Last time I came here
At that time, although Hong Kong Island was already full of cars, bicycles and motorcycles still accounted for the majority. But this time around, the bicycles on the streets of Hong Kong Island have almost disappeared, and even the buses have lost most of them. The wide roads are actually full of people.
Private cars and taxis.
The person who came to pick up Xue Xiang this time was Camp Commander Hao from last time. However, when Xue Xiang addressed him as "Battle Commander Hao" during the meeting, the accompanying driver corrected him and said that he was the director of their Xinhua News Agency Reception Center. Obviously, this Hao was
The battalion commander achieved good results, successfully transitioned from the army to politics, and entered the political world.
The former Battalion Commander Hao is now Director Hao, and the title has changed. Guan'er has grown older, but he seems to be more polite to Xue Laosan. Without saying a few words, he just said "How did Commander Xue teach us back then?"
Own
He seems to be closely related to Xue Anyuan. In fact, although this battalion commander was attached to the Lingnan Military Region, he barely spent a few days in Lingnan. Moreover, when he was selected to be sent to Hong Kong, Xue Anyuan had not yet arrived in Lingnan.
.
However, Director Hao was willing to get close, so Xue Xiang would not be stupid enough to tell the difference. He was chatting and laughing with Director Hao all the way. The atmosphere was quite lively.
The car drove along Binjiang Avenue and soon passed through the New Territories and turned onto the main road of the Third Ring Road. Not long after driving, he heard the sound of gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers not far away. Xue Xiang was curious and asked Master Hao anything.
The director smiled and said that today is the day when the MTR has been successfully operating for one week, and a celebration ceremony was held.
Only then did Xue Xiang know that the famous Hong Kong subway in history was finally built. It also solved his previous confusion: Why are there fewer bicycles and buses on the road? Are they all taking the subway?
The car drove for a while and then turned onto Causeway Bay. Xue Xiang came here without knowing Liu Ying'er, and the news of Liu Ying'er's fall was not told to Qi Rusheng by Liu Ying'er. It was conveyed by Lame Lao San.
Therefore, Xue Laosan didn't know which hospital Liu Ying'er was seeking medical treatment in, so he could only go to the antique shop called "Prosperous China" in Causeway Bay.
Causeway Bay is indeed the most prosperous commercial district on Hong Kong Island. As soon as the car entered the main road, the speed of the car dropped immediately. The speed reduction was not due to the speed limit, but because of the dense traffic flow. One car after another, how could it be done?
Get up quickly.
Xue Xiang was anxious and hurriedly looked for Liu Ying'er, but he couldn't bear it at such a snail's pace, so he thanked Director Hao and asked the two of them to turn back at the next intersection, without waiting for his reply.
He directly opened the car door, jumped out of the moving car, pressed his big hand against the other car that was hitting him, and used the force to leap over it. He took two more steps and stepped onto the sidewalk.
The place where Xue Laosan just jumped out of the car was already in chaos due to the sudden braking and dense traffic. For a moment, the horns blared loudly and the sirens roared, all of which became the background for Xue Laosan's striding forward.
"China in its prosperous age, good words!"
Xue Xiang stood outside the splendid and broad gate, staring at the sign hanging above it, and read out in a low voice.
Unexpectedly, this low voice was heard by someone, and a middle-aged man in a Tang suit stepped out from the door. He was wearing canvas shoes, with a mustache, and a lean face. With a loud voice, the Tang suit also became bright red.
Zi, dressed very festively, greeted Xue Xiang head-on.
"This gentleman has a good eye. I will tell you the truth. These four characters were found by Xu Da, the shopkeeper in our store, from Su Zizhan's many copybooks, and he made up the four characters. This sign is worth a thousand dollars.
.Sir, you may want to ask, these four characters, pen
Isn't it not beautiful if the meaning is incoherent? That's what you're asking. It's precisely because they are not taken from the same calligraphy. The four characters are forced together and the writing style is dull. But when you look at the four characters in front of you, you feel congested.
Hehe, this shows the ability of our great shopkeeper Xu and the strength of our prosperous China
As for our strength, you may not know how much effort we put into these four words. We selected only eight original works of Su Zizhan, and countless copies of Zizhan's calligraphy by famous calligraphers.
Yes, who is Su Zizhan? His character can be found in all of China.
This is a rare treasure, but our store managed to find eight. Now, you should know how powerful our store is. If you are looking for old things, you are right to come here. In short, you can buy gold from troubled times and antiques from prosperous times.
Antiques are coming to our prosperous China, and you are in the right place!"
This person heard Xue Xiang chanting in Mandarin, but he didn't ask him where he came from. The introduction just now was also given in standard Mandarin, and this person is really good at talking. He said many things from just one sign.
, especially with this sign
The history is narrated in the way of legendary stories, which is unique and shows the vicissitudes of life. It is very suitable for the identity of the antique store. What is even more rare is that through this legendary story, it shows the strong strength of its own store. It really kills two birds with one stone.
Xue Xiang was originally in a restless mood, but after listening to the introduction of the eight-character beard, he became somewhat interested. Looking at this situation, the prosperous China must be as prosperous as Xiao Nizi's letter.
Xue Xiang smiled at the man with the mustache and did not answer. He raised his hand and pushed the door open. However, the man with the mustache stopped talking and bowed, saying "Welcome" and stretched out his hand to open the door for him.
Xue Xiang was shocked when he entered the door. He almost wondered if he had gone to the wrong door. This was the same store he listed last time. It was like he had entered a super store of later generations. But he remembered that he had gone to the wrong door.
He personally led Lao San and Hong Kong driver Ma Mo to build the store that time. Although the area was not small, compared with the store in front of him, it was far behind.
He remembered that the original one was just a single-story room of more than 100 square meters with a counter, but the one in front of him was more than ten times larger than the original one. The hall of thousands of square meters was decorated in an antique style.
Dozens of stores have been opened for customers
The place where you can rest and sit is also equipped with a complete set of Ming and Qing style furniture. The upper and lower floors are all connected by wooden stairs. The male waiters inside are dressed like the mustaches encountered in front of the door, while the female waiters are wearing bright red cheongsam.
, dressed up properly.
Xue Xiang saw something strange, so he didn't rush to find Lao San. Instead, he walked around the store. Along the way, he saw more than ten stores with different styles and different selling points, including calligraphy, ancient paintings, porcelain, and jade.
Specialty shops that specialize in miscellaneous toys, jade seal carvings, the Four Treasures of the Study, etc. really cover everything, covering ancient and modern times.
Xue Xiang never expected that in just two years, Xiao Nizi would do such a big business here. Not to mention the business of this store, just look at such a large one located in the bustling area of Causeway Bay on Hong Kong Island.
store, you know that Xiao Nizi’s current net worth may have far exceeded the millions of Hong Kong dollars he left behind.
Xue Xiang walked around the first floor and had no intention of visiting the second or third floors. Just looking at the entrance of the corridor, he knew that the second floor must be more sophisticated, because there were two tall men guarding the entrance to the stairs.
Only a red card will allow you to enter, so you are obviously a VIP customer.
Xue Xiang walked slowly all the way, passing by, not only looking at the shops, but also listening to the voices, but also listening to all kinds of dialects, such as Hokkien, Cantonese, Hakka dialects, and even foreign languages.
.
"Sir, I've seen you wandering around for a while, but why didn't you catch my eye?" At some point, the man with the mustache followed me again.
He got up and hit Xue Xiang at the door. Of course, with a stare, it wasn't that the mustache had any evil intentions, but that he felt that the Xue Laosan in front of him had a very different temperament from ordinary people and was dressed in ordinary clothes.
But Gu Panxiongfei, these passers-by are often high-rollers, real big buyers.
Xue Xiang smiled and said: "I'm just shopping around. Why, if I don't buy something, can I still drive away customers?"
The Bazixu said: "Look at what you said, if I really dare to do that, the first thing that will be destroyed is my own job. You can take care of yourself. I think sir, you don't seem to be very interested in our Shengshi store. How about you go there?"
Look there, our boss has specially set up a small stall for small traders there. Don’t underestimate their small stalls, but the goods are really solid!"
Xue Xiang smiled and said nothing, Bazi Xu thought he didn't believe it, and continued: "Seeing that this is your first time, sir, I will tell you, don't think that they are all locals from Hong Kong Island. I think so, Hong Kong Island is as big as a slap in the face."
It’s hard to find old things in a piece of land, isolated overseas! In fact, their origins can be described by the sentence "three mountains and five mountains, five lakes and four seas"
The place couldn't be more suitable. There are those on the Treasure Island on the other side of the sea, on the other side of the sea in Macau, and on the other side of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Anyway, those Chinese who are escaping overseas and who like antiques, literature and entertainment are all good here.
Some of them at the Pian'er practice stall are just idle, just joining in the fun, but they have real people on their hands, and leak detection happens all the time here."
Hearing what Bazi Xu said, Xue Xiang found it interesting and said: "Your boss is very good at doing business. I wonder why Causeway Bay, which has so much land and so much land, is willing to open up this area to practice small stalls. This
It’s to gain popularity.”
