"Just help me introduce a female celebrity. I have something to do with you this time!" Shi Zhijian said to Lei Luo with a smile.
When Lei Luo heard this, he did not rush to ask Shi Zhijian what business he had with him. Instead, he hugged Shi Zhijian's shoulder as a sign of intimacy. He held up the wine glass with his other hand and said to the other companions: "A Jian! Shi Zhijian! My good brother.
! The kind that is closer than a real brother! If you remember him, if he needs help in the future, you must reach out and help him! "
"Inspector Lei, please don't worry, we will definitely do it!" These people are all officials of the Hong Kong Police Force, both big and small. They usually act based on Lei Luo's face. How dare they not listen.
After Shi Zhijian greeted the police officers and drank a round of beer, Lei Luo took out a cigar from the cigar box, lit it with Shao Yinyin's help, took a puff, exhaled the smoke, and asked Shi Zhijian: "You
I don’t go to the Three Treasures Hall when I have nothing to do. I’m a busy person and I don’t see you at all! What’s the reason for asking me this time?”
"Looking for a relationship with you!" Shi Zhijian took a sip of beer and put it down, looking at Lei Luo and saying, "I want to get to know people from the Urban Construction Department!"
In order to win over Ritchie Construction Company, Shi Zhijian invested all the funds at hand, 15 million, and also borrowed 5 million from the Huo family, Xu family and Bao family, promising to pay it back in three months!
Now Shi Zhijian is preparing to officially launch the Wharf Port construction plan. Only in this way can he attract funds through port construction. The first step for port construction is to get through the channels of the British Hong Kong Government Urban Development Department and get approval for the construction!
Port construction in this era is no small matter. The construction of a large port is equivalent to the economic artery of the city!
In the past, Wharf belonged to the British-owned Jardine Matheson Company, and it was easier to communicate with the British Hong Kong government. Now that Shi Zhijian has become the owner of Wharf, if he wants to build a large port like Wharf, he must start from scratch and open up the relationship with the Urban Development Department!
Lei Luo smiled slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and chewed a cigar and rolled it in his mouth: "It's easy for you to get to know people in the police force, but I'm not very familiar with the Urban Development Department either!"
After a pause, Lei Luo continued: "Logically speaking, you know the Huo family, the Xu family, and the Bao family. These famous families have some connection with the British Hong Kong government. Why don't you ask them for help?"
"The Huo family used to be very prestigious in the real estate business and had a good relationship with the Urban Construction Department, but since they were sanctioned, they have lost contact with the Urban Construction Department. The old man of the Xu family just passed away. Although Xu Sanshao is in charge of Xu's construction business,
After all, it can’t compare to when the old man was alive. As for the Bao family, I don’t have a very close relationship with them, I just know Su Diwen, the son-in-law of the charter king!” Shi Zhijian said to Lei Luo.
"Finally, there is another important reason. This time I won the Wharf but the three of them did not get much benefit. I borrowed a large sum of money from them before. How can I have the nerve to ask them for help now?"
"It's understandable that it's hard to repay too many favors. It's better to owe less! Where's that ghost girl in your company? What's her name? Her father, Bai Ligao, seems to be the director of the Water Conservancy Department. He can definitely work with the Urban Construction Department.
Online!" Lei Luo held his cigar between his fingers, puffed out smoke, and said with a puzzled look on his face.
"My elder sister is preparing money to buy a villa and is waiting for me to get married! But I haven't thought about getting married yet. Even after being with Bai Leti for so many years, I haven't treated her well! On the contrary, I have cared about other girls.
"More!" Shi Zhijian shrugged and said with a wry smile, "How can I have the nerve to ask her dad?"
Lei Luo nodded: "Let me just say, you are too good to the singing Nie Yongqin and the Dan family girl Su Youwei! Instead, you put such a wealthy lady aside, it makes no sense! Men must know how to choose.
A good woman can save you decades of struggle, but marrying a crazy woman can drag you down for a lifetime!"
What Lei Luo said is true. He himself is a good example. When he was just a young policeman, he could never get ahead in his life.
Ever since he met Bai Yuechang, the daughter of a gangster, with the help of this great father-in-law, he first used money to bribe his boss, and then he was directly promoted from a police officer to a plainclothes officer, and then relied on his old father-in-law to buy him things in the gangs
The head count allowed him to repeatedly solve major cases, and he was promoted from plainclothes to Detective Hua!
"Anyway, Ajian, you are still too young! If you are thick-skinned, you will not have enough food; if you are thin-skinned, you will not have enough food. You should understand this!" Lei Luo bit his cigar and smiled, "There are so many connections that you don't take advantage of.
But they thought of me, I am just a chief inspector, only good at catching thieves, not good at politics!"
Shi Zhijian grabbed the cigarette on the table and lit one, then looked up at Lei Luo: "In a word, are you willing to help me?"
Lei Luo held his cigar and flicked the ashes into the ashtray habitually, no longer posing, and surrendered: "You have already said what you said, how can I have the nerve to refuse? I remember right, the guy in the Urban Development Department is called Brando!
I invited him to the club before, but he seems to be an old man who doesn’t like the excitement very much. He doesn’t know how to touch girls when he finds them. He just sits there and drinks! By the way, he only drinks brandy!”
At this time——
"Brother Luo, I brought my sisters here!" Shao Yinyin came over holding a girl's hand and looked at Shi Zhijian with a smile in her eyes: "Mr. Shi, what do you think of my sisters? Are they pretty enough?"
…
Shi Zhijian was talking about business with Lei Luo. The conversation was interrupted by Shao Yinyin. He looked up and saw that she was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a graceful figure and the most popular shawl hair at the moment, which was tied back.
Wearing a bow.
The girl has a sweet appearance, her eyebrows are like crescent moons, her eyes are like stars, she is wearing a princess dress, and her arms are white and smooth.
"Her name is Shi Sisi. She only joined Shaw Brothers last year, but she is already the most famous martial arts actress in Shaw Brothers!" Shao Yinyin introduced, but she couldn't help but reveal a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Shi Sisi joined the Shaw Brothers Film Company in 1969. Shaw Brothers intended to train her to become Cheng Peipei's successor, so she participated in a large number of martial arts films, and she was basically the leading female lead, with more and more female heroes.
Shi Sisi also took advantage of her dancing skills since she was a child to show her best in martial arts movies. Her movements are elegant and unrestrained, and she is also known as the little martial arts princess.
Shi Zhijian looked at Shi Sisi for a moment, and then he remembered that this Shi Sisi would be known as one of Shaw Brothers' "Seven Golden Flowers" in the future.
Shi Zhijian was deeply impressed by the Baodao martial arts drama "Flying Swallows Startled the Dragon" in which she starred with male star Er Dongsheng.
"Flying Swallows Startled the Dragon" caused a sensation when it was broadcast in 1987. In the play, because of her appearance as a princess in distress from the Ming Dynasty, she disguised herself as a man while traveling around the world. Shi Sisi wore the pseudonym Zhu Baiyi when modeling men's clothing. She looked like a royal in every move.
His bloodline, full of nobility, dressed in white, graceful with a folding fan, restrained in elegance, and outstandingly handsome. In addition, he has a strong foundation in dance and his martial arts movements are smooth and flowing. He is deeply loved by the audience. In the later period, almost all of them dressed in men's clothing because of this.
Show up.
However, Shi Zhijian came here today to talk, not to pick up girls, so he nodded casually and left the beauty aside.
Shi Sisi was shy and when Shi Zhijian ignored her, she didn't know whether she should sit down next to him.
Shao Yinyin pressed her shoulders and sat her down, whispered in her ear: "You have been given the opportunity, you must seize it. Also, if you become really prosperous in the future, don't forget me!"
"
After Shao Yinyin finished speaking, she sat on the other side and poured tea and wine for Lei Luo.
Shi Sisi had never done anything like this before. She followed Shao Yinyin's example and hurriedly helped Shi Zhijian pour wine, but her movements were unfamiliar. When pouring the beer, the beer spilled out and almost wet Shi Zhijian's trousers, making her busy and hurriedly fetching the wine.
Wipe with paper towels.
Shi Zhijian had no time to pay attention to what Shi Sisi was doing. This time, he had no choice but to ask Lei Luo to help thread the needle.
To be precise, although Lei Luo is not as prominent as the Huo family, Xu family, and Bao family, he is not as good as Bai Ligao as a high-ranking official with strong qualifications. There is one thing that none of the people in front of him can compare with, and that is Lei Luo.
Luo has dirt on many people!
Shi Zhijian knew that if he wanted to deal with Brando, the director of the Urban Construction Department, he had to at least be prepared with both soft and hard tactics. If he couldn't buy it with money, he could only win by grabbing the pigtails.
As a powerful figure in the police force, Lei Luo is a master at catching people with pigtails. When the time comes, Shi Zhijian will be able to control Brando effortlessly.
Of course, before this, Shi Zhijian was still prepared to be polite before fighting, and to make friends with Brando in the most civilized way. If they were interested, they would leave it to their friends and help each other in the future.
"Let's see. Are you free tomorrow? Let me make an appointment for you! This ghost guy likes to go to the golf course to play waves. You can play some games with him tomorrow!" Lei Luo took the beer machine brought by Shao Yinyin and took a sip.
, said to Shi Zhijian with a smile.
Shi Zhijian nodded to Lei Luo with a cigarette between his fingers: "Is he a big wave player? How much should I prepare?"
Lei Luo laughed, "At least one hundred thousand for one hole!"
Shi Zhijian puffed on his cigarette and said with a smile: "My skills are very poor! It looks like I need to prepare enough money for ten holes!"
"Others who want to fight with him may not have a chance - the Urban Development Department is the most popular right now!" Lei Luo saw Shi Zhijian's distressed expression and knew that he had spent a lot of money recently, so he went to the pig waiting beside him.
Youzi snapped his fingers.
Lardboy had been with Lei Luo for so many years, and it was like a roundworm in his stomach. He quickly took out a briefcase, handed it to Lei Luo and whispered a few words in his ear, and then looked at Shi Zhijian with a smile.
Lei Luo didn't even look at it, he directly stuffed the briefcase to Shi Zhijian and said: "Here is one million, you use it first! It's the first time you meet him, you can't give him too much, one million is for you first."
, give more after they are cooked! These ghosts are so greedy, they cannot feed them all at once! As the saying goes, you must do it step by step!"
Shi Zhijian was not polite, took the paper bag directly and said: "Thank you! I will return it to you soon!"
Lei Luo patted Shi Zhijian on the shoulder, looking very happy: "If you say it like this, you're making a fool of yourself! As I said, from now on, what belongs to me, Lei Luo, is yours. If you need anything, just ask!"
Lei Luo has always felt that he owed a lot to Shi Zhijian. Shi Zhijian helped him get a job and help him avoid several disasters. On the other hand, he, a big boss, never helped Shi Zhijian much, which made Lei Luo feel troubled.
Gotta panic.
It was rare tonight that Shi Zhijian asked for help in person, so Lei Luo didn't take the opportunity to repay the favor he owed!
How could Shi Zhijian not know what Lei Luo was thinking? In fact, one million was not too difficult for him. As long as Shi Zhijian used his brain a little, he could get it out of the company.
However, he also understands that "favor debts" can easily turn into "stress debts" if they are accumulated for too long and piled up too high.
Lei Luo has been under pressure for too long and needs to be released. If he doesn't release it, he will complain to Shi Zhijian. After all, no one in this world wants to be favored by others for the rest of his life!
…
Seeing that Shi Zhijian accepted his help, Lei Luo seemed very happy. He put his arm around Shi Zhijian's shoulders and said, "Now, let's finish talking about the business! Since you are here, just have fun and don't go back too early!" After that, he pointed to sit down.
The female star Shi Sisi next to Shi Zhijian said, "Even if you don't give me face, you must give face to this Miss Shi! You heard just now that she is a big star that Shaw Brothers highly supports, and such a delicate beauty is sitting next to you.
If you are still like a piece of wood, you are too confused! At the very least, you should have a drink with Miss Shi!"
Shi Zhijian turned his head and looked at the future star Shi Sisi. As expected, his face was a little gloomy. It was obviously because of being ignored by Shi Zhijian. After all, she was not the kind of woman who only drank with guests. To be praised by Shaw Brothers, she was considered a leader in the entertainment industry.
A rising star naturally has a cool and cool personality.
After Shi Zhijian finished talking about serious matters, he didn't care to tease the future Shaw Brothers star. He turned to Shi Sisi and smiled: "Miss Shi? Do you believe that I can make you laugh with just two words?"
Shi Sisi shook her head: "I don't believe it."
"Well, you come with me to recite --- eggplant...zi!"
"Eggplant!" Shi Sisi muttered with the corners of her mouth raised.
Shi Zhijian pointed at her and said to everyone: "Look, she smiles!"
"Mr. Shi, you are being a swindler!" Shao Yinyin was reluctant at first, "Ah Si was deceived by you! Every time I read these two words, my lips will curl up!"
Lei Luo also held a cigar and laughed and said: "Yes, as a man, you must be more magnanimous! It is wrong for you to deceive Miss Shi like this! You will be punished by drinking a glass of wine!"
So someone handed over the wine glasses, and Shi Zhijian and Shi Sisi each took a glass with helpless expressions and exchanged drinks with their arms around their shoulders.
After drinking the wine, Shi Sisi's face was rosy, her face was charming, her eyes were moving, and she glanced at Shi Zhijian from time to time.
After all, there are too few young rich people in Hong Kong who are handsome enough and rich like Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian didn't care, he still knew how to act when the situation happened.
Lei Luo continued: "The penalty for drinking is over, let's have some more excitement! Let's play dice, and if we lose, we will be fined a hundred yuan! The beauties are only fined for drinking, not money!"
Shi Zhijian said: "It's too late, I give up! Here is one thousand, I go back to sleep first!"
As he spoke, he picked up his wallet, took out a thousand yuan, slapped it on the table, and said to Lei Luo with a smile: "I want to recharge my batteries and play golf with the director tomorrow!"
"Hey, no matter how you fight tomorrow, you will lose! What else are you trying to build up? Stay and play, you won't be unhappy!" Lei Luo looked at Shi Zhijian, who stood up and insisted on leaving, and then at Chu Chu.
Poor female star Shi Sisi shouted to Shi Zhijian, "Ms. Shi has taken a fancy to you. It's so rude of you to run away like this! Are you not good at that place? Do you want to imitate me and drink more wolfberry to take a tonic? You are young.
If your body collapses easily, I will punch your lungs out!"
Shi Zhijian stopped and turned around and said to Lei Luo: "By the way, Brother Luo! Do you want me to call my sister-in-law and ask her to make the wolfberry tea stronger for you?! You might have to drag the two together tonight.
, so hard work!”
"You've worked so hard! Get out! You don't need to call me! I'll report back later!" Lei Luo feigned anger, grabbing the beer cap on the table and throwing it at Shi Zhijian, "I'm very loyal to your sister-in-law!
My motto is to love my family, my children, and my wife! I will protect my wife like a jade until death!"
…
"This Mr. Shi is really interesting! He doesn't seem to like this kind of occasion!" After Shi Zhijian left, Shao Yinyin sat back down next to Lei Luo, first poured a glass of wine for Lei Luo, and then glanced at Shi Sisi, "
It’s just a pity that Ah Si came out with me for the first time, and it was also the first time that he fell in love with such a good boy, but he was let go!”
Lei Luo nodded, holding a cigar in his mouth and said: "Young people are too career-minded! It is inevitable that you don't like this kind of drinking and having fun! As for Miss Shi... I will ask someone to give her a gift later, and it will be counted as today's
Compensation for being let go by A Jian late!"
When she heard that Shi Sisi had a gift for her, Shao Yinyin's eyes lit up and she said, "What about me? I've been with you for a long time tonight! Why don't you stop being a jade and let's go to Kowloon Tong..."
Before Shao Yinyin could finish her words, Lei Luo glared at her with a cigar in his mouth: "Did you think I was joking just now? I am really loyal to my wife!"
Shao Yinyin hurriedly apologized: "I made a mistake! I'm not good, I'm wrong! Brother Luo, don't be angry!"
Lei Luo pouted: "I won't be angry if you don't make me angry? Do you think you are an idiot? Sharper than the Hong Kong Governor?"
Shao Yinyin has one head and two big heads. She originally wanted to gain some benefits by acting coquettishly, but she didn't expect that Lei Luo would not follow the routine.
"Then what do you want others to do so that you are willing to calm down?"
Lei Luo smiled: "How to do it?" Pointing to a bottle of beer on the table, "Drink it in one gulp and I will feel better!"
"Hey, that's what you said!" Shao Yinyin was not polite. She directly picked up the beer and blew on the bottle, drinking it all in one go!
"Uh!" She burped.
Lei Luo clapped his hands and laughed, "Awesome! You are worthy of being the leading actress of Shaw Brothers!" After saying that, he winked at Lardboy, who directly handed over 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to Shao Yinyin.
Lei Luo pointed and said: "I reward you! I let you drink to let you know that you can't get something for nothing!"
"Thank you, Brother Luo!" Shao Yinyin beamed.
Shi Sisi was watching Shao Yinyin and Lei Luo joking next to her, but she couldn't help but think about Shi Zhijian who had just left. For her, a girl who had just entered the entertainment industry, Shi Zhijian's "disdain" towards her was actually full of attraction for her.
