With the help of everyone in Hong Yihai, Shi Zhijian finally consigned ten bulky instant noodle machines from Wan Chai Pier to Yuen Long Factory.
In this era, there were no convenient large-scale lifting machinery, so the efficiency of transportation was very low. By the time all ten machines were in place, it was already almost noon.
Looking at the production line composed of ten machines neatly arranged in the factory, Shi Zhijian put his hands on his hips and felt full of accomplishment.
Shi Zhijian gave Sha Qiang a sum of money and asked him to take Dao Daoxiong and others to have lunch. Although Hong Yihai and others insisted on not paying for the transportation fee, a meal and wine were still necessary.
Here Shi Zhijian led three technicians from Japan to further install and debug the machine.
I have to say that the old man Asakura is quite interesting. These three technicians are all the best technical talents of Jinlong Co., Ltd., and there are no additional commissioning fees or consulting fees during their stay in Hong Kong. They only need to take care of food, food, and accommodation.
After debugging the machine, Shi Zhijian asked someone to arrange for the three technicians to rest in a nearby hotel. The three of them had to stay in Hong Kong for a month, waiting for Shi Zhijian's production line to be officially put into production, and they could not leave until there were no problems.
In fact, Asakura also had his own purpose in doing this, asking the three technicians to collect specific data on the new machines so that they could have first-hand information for future sales.
After finishing everything, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shi Zhijian left the factory and was about to find a noodle stall to finish his offal noodles when he saw a familiar Bentley car slowly approaching.
The Bentley stopped in front of Shi Zhijian. Xu Shixun's follower Axiang got out of the car and said to Shi Zhijian with a flattering face: "Mr. Shi, do you have time? Our young master wants to treat you to dinner!"
Shi Zhijian had long expected that Xu Shixun would look for him, so he nodded and said, "I happen to be a little hungry, so I won't bother Third Young Master!"
Shi Zhijian was about to get into the car when Sha Qiang and Dao Daoxiong and others came back from dinner. Everyone was holding toothpicks in their mouths, blowing water, and turned their faces to see Shi Zhijian getting into the Bentley again.
Shaqiang shouted at the top of his lungs: "Ajian, what are you doing?"
Shi Zhijian said: "I have to do something! If you have nothing to do, please help clean up first!"
Silly Qiang remained silent.
Da Daoxiong, Chen Jinlong, Chen Jinhu and others bit their toothpicks, dumbfounded, and said to themselves, three times! This Bentley has carried Brother Jian three times! It seems that the relationship between Xu Sanshao and Brother Jian is indeed very strong, and the iron is smoking!
…
Ah Xiang also felt that the relationship between his young master and Shi Zhijian was a little too "iron".
He was driving in the driver's seat in front and couldn't help but glance at Shi Zhijian through the rearview mirror.
Axiang couldn't figure out why the third young master always asked him to drive Shi Zhijian.
The Third Young Master had made many friends in the past, but none of them were treated like Shi Zhijian.
After all, he, Xiang, was a respectable "follower" of Mr. Kuo, but he drove Mr. Shi again and again, and those who didn't know it thought he was his driver!
Ah Xiang whispered cautiously all the way, and soon drove to the "Peninsula Hotel" located in the southern part of the Kowloon Peninsula.
The Peninsula Hotel is one of the top hotels in Hong Kong in this era. It is not only a paradise for wealthy people, but also the first choice for foreign VIPs visiting Hong Kong.
This hotel was completed and opened in 1928. The construction cost alone cost 3 million Hong Kong dollars. Calculated by the price of goods 40 years ago, it was a sky-high price.
At this moment, under the leadership of Ah Xiang, Shi Zhijian followed him to the Sunlight Cafe on the third floor of the Peninsula Hotel.
The cafe is located on the garden balcony on the third floor. There are several parasols on the balcony. Men and women in suits and ties sit under the umbrellas, bathing in the sun, overlooking the scenery and drinking coffee.
A Western band played "Carmen" on the violin nearby, and waiters in maid costumes walked around carrying drinks.
Shi Zhijian saw Xu Shixun and Xu Sanshao from a long distance. Xu Sanshao was wearing a bright red suit, leaning very conspicuously under the umbrella on the easternmost side of the balcony, yawning lazily, taking advantage of the gentlemen and ladies not paying attention.
, and also buttoned his nostrils, and then clicked his mouth indifferently.
Shi Zhijian walked over, but before he reached him, Xu Shixun had already seen him. He sat upright and raised his arms to wave to Shi Zhijian.
"Third Young Master, are you so interested in coming here to drink coffee?" Shi Zhijian smiled and pulled up a chair opposite Xu Shixun and sat down.
Xu Shixun gave the waitress a nice snap of his fingers and pointed to the table: "More cappuccino, thank you!"
Then he took out a cigarette and handed it to Shi Zhijian: "You can tell by looking at my situation. I just woke up after staying up late last night. It was so boring!"
After a pause, he then said: "You don't believe me even if I tell you. I still can't tell whether it's morning or noon! Have you eaten anything? Why not have 'breakfast' with me!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and touched the match and said: "I came here just to have a meal. I heard that the steak in this Western restaurant is very good!"
"You know your stuff!" Xu Shixun smiled, "The sirloin steak here tastes great, but I like the filet mignon the most!"
Shi Zhijian fumbled for a long time before realizing he didn't have any matches, so he asked Xu Shixun, "Is there a fire?"
Xu Shixun looked surprised: "I don't have fire either! I never bring fire! It's always that boy A Xiang who helps me light the fire! By the way, where is A Xiang? Where did he die?"
Ah Xiang was smart enough to think that the third young master wanted to have a private interview with Shi Zhijian, so he disappeared.
Shi Zhijian stood up helplessly, walked up to a blond lady at the next table, greeted her in proficient English, and asked if she could borrow a match.
The foreign girl was wearing a top hat with feathers, and was puffing away at a slender "Loftman" cigarette in her mouth. Her posture was skillful, and she looked like a regular smoker.
Foreign girls also like handsome boys, especially Shi Zhijian, who is personable and has a good temperament. She immediately took out the match and handed it to him, while giving him a wink.
Shi Zhijian took the match and was about to show it off to Mr. Xu, when he saw Xu Shixun sitting on a chair with a box of matches in his hand and shaking it at him with a proud face. However, they were free matches prepared by the restaurant for guests.
Shi Zhijian shrugged, lit a cigarette by the fire, and chatted a few more words with the foreign girl, making her giggle. Then he politely bowed to say goodbye and returned to his seat.
"What did you say to that foreign girl? Look at how she was teased, her eyes were as charming as silk, she was leaning forward and back, almost squirting out!"
"I told her that if she likes it, I will introduce you to her!"
"Ah? I didn't expect that you would betray your brother for a match?!" Xu Shixun feigned anger.
"Also, I, Xu Shixun, am a very good Chinese man, and I don't like foreign girls the least! They are so slutty! There is a slutty smell on my body that no matter how many baths I take, I can't wash it off!"
Shi Zhijian was speechless as he watched Xu Sanshao's "actor"-level performance. He blew out a smoke ring and said, "If you can't wash it off, just keep it. Anyway, she's flirting with you, so it's a perfect match!"
Xu Shixun rolled his eyes: "You are not allowed to say that to me! Where did I go?"
Shi Zhijian crossed his legs, held a cigarette and pointed at Xu Shixun's crotch: "Then please zip up your pants first!"
