The term "jazz" comes from the feudal system of Western Europe. It belongs to the second level in the feudal system of Western Europe, that is, the great feudal lord. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a symbol of aristocratic status.
Among the aristocratic titles in European countries, from the highest to the lowest, there are five levels: duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron.
In fact, in today's era, for many people, being awarded a knighthood is equivalent to a promotion in status, especially being directly promoted to a noble!
You know, generally speaking, the difference between nobles and commoners is not about money, but about family lineage. For example, the European Habsburg family, the Bourbon family, the Fujiwara family, the Taira family, the Minamoto family, the Tachibana family in ancient Japan, and the Chinese
In ancient times, people like the Langya Wang family were called nobles.
Not all aristocratic family members may have money, but their conversational and cultivated temperament cannot be cultivated by the nouveau riche by spending money.
The reason why Bailiqu and many other ghost guys have always looked down on Shi Zhijian is because no matter how powerful Shi Zhijian is, he is just a common man!
They are nobles, and they will always overpower Shi Zhijian!
But now, Shi Zhijian was knighted by the Queen, which shocked everyone!
Common people are often knighted for their unparalleled meritorious service. If you think about it carefully, since Shi Zhijian became a member of the Legislative Council, he first abolished the laws of the Qing Dynasty and abolished polygamy, and then became the Flying Tigers that made Hong Kong the front line of anti-terrorism, and then established the current
The Independent Commission Against Corruption! It has truly made outstanding achievements! Even Bailiqu can’t find fault with it!
The news that Shi Zhijian was about to go to England and be canonized as a baron by the Queen also spread along with the news, shocking the whole of Hong Kong on this stormy night.
Early the next morning, the whole of Hong Kong was buzzing with news. The major teahouses and restaurants were all talking about the news that Shi Zhijian was knighted by the Queen.
"So sharp, he was knighted at such a young age!"
"Yes, it is simply the light of our Chinese people!"
"Well, in my opinion, Senator Shi is the contemporary Wei Xiaobao!"
"That's right! Not only do you have three wives and four concubines, but you are also blessed with a lot of love! You have also honored your ancestors and been granted the title of Lord Stone!"
In addition to these teahouses and restaurants, the even more lively one is Hong Kong’s Shi’s House.
When they learned that their young master Shi Zhijian would be conferred the title of Baron by the Queen, the eight servants raised their eyebrows in anger. Even the Shi family's dog waddled as it walked, chasing a large group of bitches behind it.
When the news reached Shek Ka Village in Tsuen Wan, Shi Taigong and others knew that Shi Zhijian was going to England to be knighted, so they bought a total of 3,000 Hong Kong dollars of incense. The smoke filled the Shijia ancestral hall. Neighbors from the next village saw it and endured it.
I couldn't help but sigh: "There is smoke coming out of the Shijia ancestral hall!"
…
At ten o'clock in the evening that day, Shi Zhijian's sister Shi Yufeng saw off the last guest of the day. She felt exhausted all over. She had never been so tired when working in a plastic flower factory before. After all, she had been in high spirits for several days in a row, and she was a woman.
, it is normal if the body is not made of iron and cannot support it.
Returning to the living room, Shi Yufeng sat down gracefully and asked her nanny Papaya to hurry up and make herself a cup of ginseng tea to rest her mind.
The little nanny Papaya is just an ordinary girl. First, she was called a phoenix because of her date with the headshot detective Ding Yongqiang. Then her young master Shi Zhijian soon became a knight. She walked around the house of many ladies and wealthy ladies.
All the girls were so envious of her! Some even secretly gave her gold and silver jewelry, saying that it was made by their master!
Papaya knew that these people were trying to curry favor with their young master. Looking at the gold, silver and jewels that were handed over to him, not only was he not happy, he was actually frightened.
Soon Papaya brought ginseng tea, but Shi Yufeng was in a daze looking at the various gifts that were almost filling the room.
The gifts were divided into categories, such as ginseng, fur seal, abalone and bird's nest, silk and satin, French perfume and so on. They were basically good things that many poor families could never ask for in their lives, but now they were piled together in a pile.
Shi Yufeng took out a string of Buddhist beads that she had recently "invited". It is said that these beads were once played by Empress Dowager Cixi and had been consecrated by eminent monks.
Shi Yufeng clasped the beads with her fingers, drank ginseng tea, put down the tea cup and said anxiously: "Papaya, I really didn't expect that such a day would come! Once upon a time, I was just like you, just a female factory worker, and I was looked down upon because of my lameness!
I didn’t expect that in the blink of an eye, I would not only become a strong woman, but also the baron’s sister! Being so rich and glorious makes me feel uneasy and like I’m dreaming!”
Papaya sighed: "Sister Yufeng, you are right! When I first came to the Shi family, I lived in a small tenement building. At that time, the young master was just an ordinary businessman. But in the blink of an eye, we lived in such a big villa, and the young master changed from a businessman to a
Congressman, now that he has become a knight, I feel very uneasy in my heart!"
Shi Yufeng sighed and pinched the beads in her hands, her posture dignified as if Empress Cixi was possessed by Lafayette: "I hope this is not a dream." After saying that, he looked at the gifts again and said in a decisive tone, "Although I haven't read any books, I
I also know that the moon waxes and wanes. Now that our Shi family has reached its peak of prosperity, we can no longer covet these petty profits. I will return all these things to you tomorrow. If you don’t return them, donate them! In short, my dear brother
He is still very young and has a bright future, and I cannot be a drag on him!"
…
After hearing the news in the past two days, most of the people who came to the Shi family to congratulate them were relatives and friends, such as Mr. Xu, Mr. Huo, and Lai Hao. Shi Yufeng was acquainted with them and could handle them.
But in the following days, those ghosts in Hong Kong's official circles also came after hearing the news, and even took the initiative to congratulate Shi Zhijian.
You must know that in Hong Kong, these ghost guys have always been aloof, but now they come to the door of their own initiative. It is said that they are trying to make friends with the Shi family.
Shi Yufeng did not graduate from elementary school and could not read a few Chinese characters, let alone understand foreign languages.
Every time those ghost guys came over, they all started chirping. Shi Yufeng looked confused and had to force out a smile.
"Please sit down!"
"Okay, okay, drink tea!"
Everyone was talking to each other, and it was hard to get rid of one wave after another. Shi Yufeng almost cried.
Fortunately, Hu Juncai, who had been busy with his work in the past few days, rushed to help. He brought his female secretary Marilyn from Korea, spoke plastic English to those ghosts, and then managed to parry them.
This kind of embarrassment made Shi Yufeng very distressed. Without a younger brother in the family, would there be no one who could stand on the stage?
The next day, news came from Shijia Village in Tsuen Wan that Mr. Shi Taigong had people renovate the tomb of Shi Yufeng's father, Shi Dafu, and asked Shi Yufeng to go back and preside over the ceremony.
Shi Yufeng was a filial daughter and immediately rushed to Shijia Village.
When he arrived at the village, he was shocked. Not only the village chief and others came, but also the wealthy squire and rich people. Headed by Shi Taigong, they greeted him in a dark manner.
Shi Yufeng got out of the car and couldn't help but sigh a little when looking at such a spectacular scene.
Accompanied by everyone, she, a woman, came to the grave of her father Shi Dafu, only to see that the grave was much higher than before, and even the tombstone had been replaced with the most exquisite high-grade stone!
The most important thing is that it is clearly engraved on the tombstone: The tomb of Sir Shi Zhijian’s father!
Jazz is a big word!
Shi Yufeng looked at her father's newly built grave and recalled the hard days she had lived before, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
Shi Yufeng has always believed that there are gods who are three feet above the head, especially the younger brother Shi Zhijian, who can rise to great heights in just three or four years. This is simply unimaginable!
Shi Yufeng still couldn't figure it out. She always believed that a person should be diligent and hard-working. But the younger brother didn't seem to be very diligent or hard-working. He was fired halfway through his job, and it was too tiring to wash dishes in a hotel! The one he liked the most was
He went to the racecourse to gamble - this kind of person was a scumbag and a prodigal in the past! But he succeeded! Could it be that it is really destiny for people?
No!
It must be Shi Yufeng’s diligence and hard work that moved the heavens! Only then did it come true for her little brother!
Shi Yufeng held the Buddhist beads in her hand and stood in front of the grave at this moment and couldn't help but sigh: "Amitabha!"
…
Placing a new tombstone was another grand ceremony. After it was over, Shi Yufeng returned home and sat on a chair, feeling empty.
The little nanny Papaya and the eight servants didn't know what their mistress was doing, so they didn't dare to come forward and disturb her.
At this moment, Shi Yufeng was thinking about the small size of the Shi family. Although her younger brother married three wives in one go, none of them got pregnant.
On the contrary, Dai Fengni has a baby with very cute balls. The most annoying thing is that Dai Fengni does not allow the Shi family to take the balls back!
As an old lady, she has done enough to make the Shi family flourish. Not only did she get all kinds of medicines, but she also helped the younger brother pray to the god Wong Tai Sin.
No movement!
Is it possible that all the bullets of the younger brother were used up on Dai Fengni? Is there no production here?
"No, the Shi family's connections are too weak to be supported by him alone! I have to think further!" Shi Yufeng sat on the chair with a thoughtful look on his face.
Just at this time, Jiang Meibao came downstairs wearing bell-bottom pants and a walkman on her pants, bobbing her head and listening to rock songs.
Jiang Meibao is ten years old this year. Because she has good nutrition in recent years, she is taller than the average girl, so she looks like a little adult.
When Shi Yufeng saw her daughter's eyes light up, she thought it was not too late, so she waved her hand in a friendly manner: "My dear daughter, come here!"
The mother who had always been strict and harsh suddenly became amiable, which made Bao'er, who was listening to the song, shudder. So he quickly turned around and ran upstairs, but he was still a step too late. Shi Yufeng stopped him and said, "Don't think about listening all day long."
Song! You are my daughter, and your uncle has become a knight again. You have to work hard!
Now, I have already thought about how many tutors I can help you with, ballet dancing, and piano training! Those ghost guys really like these things! As for you, you can also show your face when going out to socialize with your uncle in the future.
! In short, girls should strengthen themselves!"
…
"Supermarkets will soon be a new thing in Hong Kong. Then you and I can transport vegetables to the supermarkets for sale, so we can face more customers!" Shi Zhijian sat on the sofa, crossing his legs and flipping through the pages.
While reading the newspaper, he said to Hu Juncai and Marilyn.
"Mr. Shi, I don't quite understand! What's the difference between the supermarket you're talking about and the Alibaba you founded?" Hu Juncai asked without understanding.
Shi Zhijian raised his head and gave Hu Juncai an approving look, "That's a good question. It seems you know how to think about things!"
Being praised by his boss, Hu Juncai's little tail was raised.
Marilyn, the female secretary who was with him, also had a proud expression on her face. She thought her boss was so smart and Mr. Shi was praising him.
"At this stage, Alibaba is targeting the wealthy people in Hong Kong. They have servants and drivers at home. In addition, they are willing to spend money on express delivery, so Shunfeng Express can help deliver goods to their doorsteps!"
"But supermarkets are different. The target group of supermarkets is ordinary people! The most important thing for ordinary people to buy things is high quality and low price! Therefore, the prices of goods in our supermarkets are cheaper than the retail prices in many places!"
Immediately afterwards, Shi Zhijian told Hu Juncai and others about the supermarket chain model of the previous life.
Hu Juncai listened very carefully. This time he went to South Korea and other places to open his eyes and see the market. Especially the supermarket model seems to be very popular in Europe and the United States.
Most of the stores in Hong Kong still follow the department store model, or they are just grocery stores.
Shi Zhijian's current desire to develop a supermarket chain in Hong Kong is not just a whim. After Hong Kong's economic recovery, citizens' wages began to gradually increase and their spending power also began to strengthen.
The major commercial banks in Hong Kong are basically the same as the old three, foreign banks, department stores, and grocery stores. These cannot meet the needs of the people at all.
As an expert at finding money, Shi Zhijian feels that now is the best time to enter the Hong Kong department store market and occupy Hong Kong with high-quality and low-priced supermarkets!
In addition, Shi Zhijian wants to create a brand similar to the future "Wal-Mart", "Carrefour", "Metro", etc.
"Actually, opening a supermarket is very simple. It only requires three steps: find the source of goods, find the location to open the store, and finally recruit people!"
Shi Zhijian briefly explained the supermarket preparation plan to Hu Juncai again, and finally said: "In addition, the name of the supermarket must be well thought out, so as to prepare for future expansion into other countries, so a catchy name is very important!"
"Then what name should I choose?" Hu Juncai scratched his head.
Marilyn said: "Why don't we call it 'Wodema'!"
"Huh?" Hu Juncai glanced at his female secretary and criticized, "Aren't you trying to use the name of the American supermarket? They call it Wal-Mart, and you call it Wal-Mart! Mr. Shi is a patriot and will never use the name of a foreign devil. !”
"This name is quite good!" Shi Zhijian put down the newspaper and said with a smile, "Wodema, which is homophonic to my mother, is very surprising! Besides, Americans can call Wal-Mart, why can't we call it Wodema?"
Hu Juncai was stunned and said hurriedly: "I have already said that Mr. Shi is super patriotic! I don't believe that I can't kill those Americans this time! Marilyn, I didn't expect that you can choose such a good name because you are usually so stupid. I give you a thumbs up." !”
Boom, boom, boom!
Chen Huimin knocked on the door outside, opened the door for a moment, and said to Shi Zhijian in the room: "Mr. Shi, it's time for the meeting! All the big guys from all parties have arrived!"
