Beside the pool, Lame Hao put his crutches aside, put on a water skirt, and danced with a kitchen knife! The kitchen knife flew away, and the scales of a grouper fell off in his hand, revealing the snow-white tender meat.
Shi Zhijian was dumbfounded. He was also wearing a water skirt and holding a grouper in his hand. However, he did not have the superb fish-killing knife skills of Lai Hao. He could only pick out the scales little by little with a kitchen knife.
"Pu, my mother! I haven't used a knife for a long time! The last time I and those Vietnamese guys killed each other, I felt something was wrong. Some of the tricks couldn't be used, like that night battle in all directions, going straight to Huanglong, seven in and seven out.
I can’t handle it! Do you think it’s miserable or not?”
"Are you sure it's the sword technique?"
"What do you mean?"
"Ahem, I mean you are old and your back is weak!" Shi Zhijian tried his best to pick off the fish scales.
Lame Hao snatched the grouper from Shi Zhijian's hand and said, "What do you mean, I can't do it with my waist? A man can do anything," he patted his waist, "I must do it here!"
"I agree with this!" Suddenly a voice said.
Shi Zhijian and Lai Hao turned around and saw Lei Luo coming over at some unknown time, carrying two bottles of Maotai liquor.
Lei Luo drank some liquor and said, "Ajian, I know you like to drink Maotai. How do you like it? Do you like it or not?"
Maotai liquor of this era was not particularly high-end, and was relatively common in Hong Kong. Many of them were shipped from the mainland to earn foreign exchange.
Hong Kong people generally like to drink Wujiapi, or they are fond of foreigners and drink Remy Martin and Hennessy. Not many people really know how to drink liquors like Moutai Wuliangye.
Shi Zhijian is one of the exceptions.
Shi Zhijian was not used to drinking those foreign wines. He felt drunk after drinking too much. Especially when he was hungover, he had a splitting headache and a dry mouth, which made him very uncomfortable.
He couldn't learn Gui Lao's pretentious way of drinking with ice cubes, so he liked drinking heavily and eating meat.
Lei Luo knew Shi Zhijian's hobby and took advantage of the fact that Wharf was about to start construction, so he brought two bottles of Maotai over to celebrate.
"Wow, what are you doing? Killing fish? That's not how you kill fish, you have to take off all the scales!" Lei Luo started to roll up his sleeves as he spoke, preparing to take the lame hao kitchen knife and start a fight.
"Brother Luo, you seem to be very experienced?" Shi Zhijian couldn't help but said.
Lei Luo said excitedly: "Of course! My father used to sell fish in the market street, and I often helped him kill fish at the fish stall! Do you know that there are seven ways to kill a fish? Behead, chop, roll, and tick.
, flip, turn, tip! Each move can take you a year to learn!"
Lame Hao was dumbfounded, "Why kill a fish? There are so many tricks? I only know how to kill him with one move! Kill his mother! Kill his whole family to death!"
Lei Luo smiled, "Just as he was about to kill the fish, Shi Yufeng saw it and came over and said, "I'm sorry, Inspector Lei! How can I let a distinguished guest like you do such a rough job? Leave it to me!"
Shi Yufeng stretched out her hand to take the grouper from Lei Luo's hand, then pushed Lai Hao aside and said, "Get out of here! Work slowly! I'll knock your lungs out!"
The lame man was dumbfounded: "What do you mean? Why can't he do rough work? Why do you ask me to kill fish for you? You are discriminating!"
Shi Zhijian hurriedly greeted the two of them, "Let's go drink in the house! Stop talking!"
"No, I'm trying to reason with her! Are you discriminating against me every time? Do you think I'm easy to bully because I'm a cripple? You know what I'm saying, I'm scared--"
Shi Zhijian and Lei Luo entered the house. Lame Hao was still chattering outside. Shi Yufeng raised the kitchen knife directly: "So what?"
Lame Hao pouted: "A good man doesn't fight with women!"
…
A variety of delicious dishes were placed on the table, and Maotai wine was also opened.
Shi Zhijian and others sat down, and Lei Luo looked at the dishes on the table and spoke first: "Ajian is too polite, but the three of us made this table full of soup. Look, there are all chicken, duck and fish! In fact,
The same goes for going to a restaurant, and you can save some energy!"
"How can going to a restaurant be as comfortable as eating at home? Besides, this can also show my sincerity!" Shi Zhijian took out three small wine glasses, picked up the bottle of Moutai, and filled it up for the three people including himself.
Smiling at Lei Luo and Lai Hao, he raised his glass and said, "Thank you two big guys for coming to my house for dinner, and I'd also like to thank you both for the gift. Thank you in advance!" After saying this, he went to work first as a sign of respect.
"Together!"
"Come, let the three of us clink glasses!"
Lei Luo and Lai Hao also raised their glasses and drank in one gulp.
With the spicy white wine in their throats, the three of them used their chopsticks to take a few more bites of the food, and then they started chatting while eating.
As the saying goes, no matter what happens, go to the Three Treasures Palace. In fact, this time Lai Hao and Lei Luo came to see Shi Zhijian in person. In addition to congratulating him in advance on the start of the project, they also had other things they wanted to ask for advice on.
Lai Hao's side is simpler. He has followed Shi Zhijian's advice and is now slowly clearing his name and going ashore. The pink stall business and the flower stall business have also begun to be sold out and handed over to other societies to help take care of them. He only takes a certain share of commission.
However, Laihao has recently encountered trouble when he joined the upper class society. Those who do legitimate business look down upon him, so much so that he tried hard to join the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, etc., but he was not welcomed by others.
Those who can get in are all chambers of commerce with little reputation. You can join them by just spending money. Lame Hao is not interested in these. For him, the biggest ideal now is to enter the most well-known Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Chinese Entrepreneurs Association was formally established in 1913. Its predecessor was the Hong Kong Chinese Entrepreneurs Council, which was established in 1900. In order to safeguard the rights and interests of Chinese businessmen, participate in social welfare, and strengthen the relationship between Hong Kong and the mainland, the Council was established from
It was recognized by the Hong Kong government from that day on.
After the founding of the Republic of China, various industries in Hong Kong established chambers of commerce one after another. In view of the various chambers of commerce joining the bureau, the chairman of the "Chinese Entrepreneurs Council" proposed to change it into a group with the nature of the General Chamber of Commerce, and the "Hong Kong Chinese Entrepreneurs Association" was born.
Soon, the number of members of the chamber of commerce increased to 1,000, and it became the general representative of major Chinese companies, trades and industry chambers of commerce in Hong Kong.
By 1952, the General Chamber of Commerce implemented a board of directors system and changed its name to the "Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce", which has been in use to this day, becoming the oldest and most influential Chinese business representative organization in Hong Kong.
It can be said that this chamber of commerce includes all the famous tycoons in Hong Kong. Whether it is Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, Wenzhou Chamber of Commerce, the heads of each chamber of commerce are basically members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. As members of the chamber of commerce, you can use the chamber of commerce
The power has gained more development opportunities, and can negotiate with the British bosses to maximize their own interests in business.
Therefore, countless Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong are proud to join the Chinese Entrepreneurs Association.
The reason why Laihao asked Shi Zhijian for help was because the three presidents of the Chinese Business Association were all the famous Huo boss Huo Yingdong.
Shi Zhijian happened to have a close relationship with the Huo family, so Laihao wanted to go through the back door and use Shi Zhijian's relationship to plead with Mr. Huo, and finally joined the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
After listening to Lai Hao's narration, Shi Zhijian already knew what was going on.
In fact, the major chambers of commerce in this era are mixed, and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is no exception. There are also some big bosses who are trying to make money from side interests, and people like Lai Hao can only be regarded as their "little brothers" at best.
"I will talk to Mr. Huo about this matter. He has always been kind-hearted. Although he hates evil, he also likes to support the younger generations who know how to repay kindness and know how to make progress!"
"That's me! I know how to be grateful! As you know, Mr. Huo, if he helps me accomplish this, I will bring a lot of money and come to thank him personally!" Laihao said excitedly.
Shi Zhijian frowned, "Don't mention the word "heavy money"! Who is Mr. Huo? How can he covet your small thank you gift? "
"Yes, yes, it's my fault! I deserve to be punished! I'll punish myself with a drink!" Lai Hao was not a fool. He immediately understood what Shi Zhijian meant and poured himself a glass of white wine and drank it in one gulp.
"Ajian, please teach me what to tell Mr. Huo when the time comes?" Laihao looked at Shi Zhijian and humbly asked for advice.
"Of course I have to put down my attitude and learn from Mr. Huo!" Shi Zhijian said with a smile.
Before Lame Hao could understand, Lei Luo had already praised him, "Sharp! Learn from his master! Ah Hao, maybe you will be the emperor's disciple in the future!"
Only then did Lai Hao wake up, "I understand!" His tone was trembling with excitement, and he hurriedly poured a glass of wine for Shi Zhijian, but he spilled the wine because of his excitement.
He never dreamed that he would have the opportunity to become the boss of Boss Huo!
But, is he willing?
What's more, he's still a cripple?
As if he could sense Lai Hao's thoughts, Shi Zhijian held up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Boss Huo only looks at people's hearts! As long as you change your ways and do good, he will definitely accept you!"
"That's good! That's good!" Lame Hao was overjoyed. For a Jianghu man like him who licks blood from his knife edge, now he has wealth and fame, but what he lacks is the future!
No matter how much money you have, what's the use of your reputation?
Once thunder falls from the sky, it will all be over!
This is also the main reason why Laihao listened to Shi Zhijian and came ashore with his name clean.
He knows that if you fish for evil, you won't be able to catch him for a lifetime!
…
After settling Lame Hao's matter, Lei Luo immediately asked Shi Zhijian a question: "I'm going to be assigned to study at Scotland Yard. Do you think I should go or not?"
Shi Zhijian was stunned for a moment, seeming to be stumped by this question.
Scotland Yard itself is neither located in Scotland, nor is it responsible for the security of Scotland.
The name Scotland Yard comes from 1829, when the capital police station of the British Empire was located on the remains of the old Scottish royal palace, hence its name.
And because this is the core area of the British Police Headquarters, many outstanding police officers from the British colonies will be assigned to study here every once in a while, including India and Hong Kong!
The first Chinese police officer in the Hong Kong police force to be assigned to study at Scotland Yard was the famous Tsang Siu-ke. He went to Scotland Yard for training in the 1950s and was directly promoted to the top of the police force upon his return.
Also able to receive such an "honor" is the famous detective Li Luofu, who also went to Scotland Yard for training and was also promoted by the line of fire after returning.
In other words, everyone who has been to Scotland Yard is basically a senior police officer waiting to be promoted to a new position.
Therefore, in the Hong Kong police circles, there is a rush to "go to Scotland Yard for training", but it is rare for people like Lei Luo to come to consult Shi Zhijian cautiously.
"How many months of training?"
"At least three months."
"You can't bear to leave your sister-in-law?"
"You know, that's not the reason." Lei Luo's face was still red with wine, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
"Are you afraid of causing the tiger to flee the mountain?" Shi Zhijian picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
Lame Hao also suddenly realized: "You're right! Those ghost guys are unreliable! What if they try to lure the tiger away from the mountain, send Brother Luo to that place, and go straight to Huanglong to raid your lair?"
Lei Luo scratched his chin and smiled bitterly: "Can you speak more politely? Why are you raiding my nest? Am I a bird?"
"That's not what I meant! I didn't call you a birdman! I was worried about you!" Lame Hao became more and more confused as he explained.
Shi Zhijian hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "Brother Luo, did you make the suggestion to go to Scotland Yard?"
"Superintendent, Ge Bai!"
Shi Zhijian laughed when he heard the name.
I remember correctly, in my previous life, this powerful police superintendent was a famous "fugitive".
This man joined the police in 1954 and was imprisoned for corruption in 1973. In 19 years, he made a total of HK$5 million in illegal property.
That’s right, it’s five million, not five hundred million!
Although this man is a corrupt criminal, he is also a good man. When he was in jail, he appeared very calm when facing reporters, saying: "I was just unlucky and came across an idea. Corruption is a way of life in the Hong Kong police force."
, just like going to bed at night and getting up to brush your teeth during the day, it is a very natural thing." He also said that this situation is very common in the Hong Kong police force. From top to bottom, almost everyone does it, and no one thinks it is
When it comes to committing crimes, it’s impossible to arrest the entire Hong Kong police force, right?!
Therefore, when Shi Zhijian heard the name, he breathed a sigh of relief. He directly picked up the wine glass and said to Lei Luo: "Go! Go to Scotland Yard! When you come back, take up the post!"
Lei Luo looked confused. He didn't understand why Shi Zhijian changed so quickly. His face was solemn and hesitant just now. Why did he immediately adopt this attitude when he heard that Ge Bai had appointed him?
"And -" Shi Zhijian held the wine glass and clinked it lightly with Lei Luo's wine glass, "Be sure to remember to give Superintendent Ge Bai a big gift! Remember, one worth one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand is enough!
Don’t have too many!”
I still sympathize with this ghost police superintendent Shi Zhijian who just embezzled five million and fled all over the world. Don't they just want to get some benefits? Why do they think so bad?
Also, this guy embezzled five million and went to jail. This guy Lei Luo embezzled five hundred million and got away with it in the end. Shi Zhijian really doesn’t know if Superintendent Ge Bai will be angry to death after knowing the truth?!
The next topic was a bit more relaxed, but Lei Luo still asked Shi Zhijian curiously, "Don't you want to go fishing? Now that he has cleared the customs, arranged the shipping, and even got the start-up capital, when will you start fishing?!"
Shi Zhijian didn't expect Lei Luo to be so curious. In fact, Lei Luo was forced by his father-in-law, Mr. Bai Fanyu. Now his father-in-law comes to his house every now and then to collect debts, making Lei Luo afraid to go back! Since Shi Zhijian said that he could
He believed in making quick money by fishing! The question is, when will it start?
