Chapter 115 Haicheng Nightclub
As one of the three major financial centers in the world, Xiangjiang is still blooming even after experiencing the Asia-Pacific economic crisis.
Just like the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.
At 12 o'clock in the morning, there was a lot of traffic and a lot of people.
Under the overlapping advertising light boxes, none of the densely packed street shops are closed.
Itochu led the woman in kimono, escorted by two bodyguards, out of the Shangri-La Hotel. While looking at the street, he waited for the Bentley that picked him up to turn around.
He has his own mansion in Xiangjiang and does not need to live in such a messy place.
Suddenly.
The kimono-clad woman said, "Ito-kun, the fat black man next to Yu Sanyuan is extraordinary."
Itochu nodded.
He practices martial arts all year round and is proficient in judo and kendo.
Facing ordinary people with bare hands, it is no problem to fight one against ten.
But just now, when the fat black man opened the door to the room, he felt like a bell was in his face and a mountain was pressing down on him.
Especially the arm that opens the door is as strong as a pine, and even the skin has been tempered without texture. Perhaps the legendary Okinawan ancient martial arts master is none other than this.
Itochu took a deep breath and said, "Let someone investigate the other party's identity."
The woman in kimono said again: "That's not what I meant. I want to say that when I just left, Yu Sanyuan gave the other party a look, and the fat black man looked excited and seemed to want to do you harm."
"???"
Itochu was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Bentley turning around and coming back, he ignored the bodyguard and stepped forward, pulled the door handle himself, and ducked in.
Before meeting Yu Sanyuan, he thought that he was Dong Zheng's illegitimate son and equivalent to a puppet.
But after meeting Yu Sanyuan, he denied his previous speculations on the spot.
Because that young man's temperament was completely inconsistent with his age.
Confident, calm,...
The most important thing is that you can make the decision on your own whether to sell the Sany bean seeds or not.
Therefore, the information is wrong.
During the period of contact with the other party, the office building of Wanhong Investment was directly razed to the ground, and the headquarters of Wanhong Investment in Xiangjiang was inexplicably destroyed by Boom...
Itochu immediately made a preliminary judgment on Yu Sanyuan.
Calm, ruthless and decisive, just like a wolf.
Such a person must be 100% sure to signal the bodyguard to attack him.
In other words, he will definitely die!
"Quick, go to the police station."
Itochu got into the Bentley, greeted the driver, and put on his body armor.
When the driver saw this, he didn't dare to delay, quickly put into gear and stepped on the accelerator.
The priceless Bentley rushed out of Tsim Sha Tsui Commercial Street with a roar of excessive speed and turned into the newly built unknown avenue in Yau Tsim Mong.
Just then.
A rusty steel bar fell vertically from the roof of the building.
And Bentley is like the ping pong paddle in the game console, which just catches the steel bar.
boom!
Under the acceleration of gravity, the steel bars penetrated the Bentley with ease.
Immediately, due to the inertia of the car, the trunk tore open and the window glass was shattered.
In an instant, a luxury car was torn into pieces, a horrific sight.
Fuel, blood, mixed with the famous wine spilled from the trunk, almost occupied the street that was more than fifty meters long.
People walking on the sidewalk were also stunned.
At the same time, another rusty steel bar fell from the sky and hit the asphalt road.
People subconsciously looked up.
In the night, with the bright neon lights reflected, the roof of a nearby residential building that had been in disrepair for a long time collapsed at some point, revealing a pile of building materials that had been idle for an unknown period of time.
Moreover, without the obstruction of the building edge, most of these building materials are hanging in the air and may fall at any time.
"Dududu..."
The police patrolling here blew whistles to signal people on the street to leave the dangerous area.
The kimono woman and bodyguard following the Bentley rushed out of the Toyota SUV they were riding in, and before the police pulled up the isolation cordon, they found Itochu, who was thrown to the side of the road because he was not wearing a seat belt.
Then everyone saw a fat black man walking over step by step, neither fast nor slow.
The kimonoed woman and the bodyguards were immediately on alert, and the former even shouted at the top of her lungs: "Mr. Police, we need help!"
"What's going on? The ambulance will be here soon." Two policemen trotted over.
Seeing this, the fat black man stared at the internet-famous face of the kimono woman for two seconds, then pretended to be passing by and whistled into the ice cream shop next to him, "Boss, let's have some Hardage."
"Sir, it's Haagen-Dazs."
"I want Hardagans!"
"..."
…
Shangri-La Hotel.
"Itochu was afraid of death. He was lying in the gap between the back row and the front row. He was not hit by the steel bar, but he was seriously injured."
"Which hospital did the ambulance go to?"
"I didn't go to the hospital. I was taken to the villa area in Kowloon Tong."
"We are not familiar with this place, so we have to suspend our actions."
In another time and space, Yu Yang had visited Xiangjiang several times and even visited the Kowloon Tong villa area.
But times are different, and people and things are also different.
If you send someone over rashly, you are not familiar with the place, and if you leave any clues, it will only arouse the suspicion of the police.
"Rest first and talk about it tomorrow."
A night of silence.
The next day.
After everyone finished breakfast in the suite, the hotel manager sent five invitations.
"Mr. Yu, this is Fan Xiaoxuan's private concert. Zizin and Xu Ruyun will also participate."
Yu Yang looked at the content on the invitation.
Today at 4pm, Haicheng Nightclub.
"Okay, I understand. The relevant fees are included in the room rate."
"Mr. Yu, this is a gift from the hotel to you."
"Your shareholder, Itochu, and I are not good friends."
"You misunderstood. He is just one of the shareholders of Shangri-La in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. He has nothing to do with the hotel group or operator. We are giving you the invitation purely as a courtesy."
Yu Yang understood.
It is estimated that the other party came to visit yesterday with Itochu. Today, he knew that he and Itochu were enemies rather than friends, so he came here with an invitation letter to apologize.
After all, peace is the most important thing in doing business, especially in the service industry.
"I accepted the gift, and you will buy me some tickets for the Coliseum concert later."
"Okay Mr. Yu."
The hotel manager secretly breathed a sigh of relief and bowed out of the suite.
As a qualified hotel manager, he never underestimated any customer.
Last night, if Itochu had not repeatedly guaranteed that he was meeting important customers in the name of the hotel investor, he would never have brought Itochu to visit him.
And this morning, the news came that Wanhong Investment Company was almost killed by a steel bar due to Boom and Itochu. Combined with the demeanor and tone of Itochu's visit to the young man last night, the hotel manager did not hesitate to dig into his pocket and asked someone to buy today's hotel. Private concert invitation.
He doesn't want to know who boomed Wanhong Investment, nor does he want to know who wants to kill Itochu, nor does he want to know what boss Yu has to do with Itochu. He just wants to do his job safely.
This is the way to survive in Hong Kong.
other side.
Yu Yang picked up the restaurant location that Liao Pengfei had scouted overnight, and considered it carefully based on what he saw and heard in another time and space. Xiangjiang is one of the most densely populated cities in the world, and housing prices are very high.
Fortunately, after the Asia-Pacific crisis, housing prices in Xiangjiang have almost halved. Many places seem to be still prosperous, but in fact they have become depressed.
Just like the Tsim Sha Tsui business district where Shangri-La is located, the construction site where you turn right and then left once was a large Western restaurant that closed in 1997 due to poor management.
Later, it was bought by an Indian boss, but the Indian boss jumped off the building after losing money in the stock market, and the restaurant was transferred to the owner surnamed Liu.
During the renovation of the restaurant, the boss surnamed Liu bought two houses with loans. Then the house prices plummeted by 70%. Because the remaining value of the two mortgaged houses was not equal to the total loan amount, the boss surnamed Liu was called by the bank several times to pay back 9 million Hong Kong dollars. Last year , the boss surnamed Liu could not bear the pressure and had no choice but to commit suicide by jumping off the building.
Eventually, the restaurant and two houses were repossessed by the bank.
Liao Pengfei said: "This restaurant is about 1,500 square meters. The market price per square meter used to be about 160,000 Hong Kong dollars. Now it is about 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. The total loan is 45 million. The bank is willing to provide a 40 million mortgage loan."
"1,500 square meters sounds very good, but at 30 meters x 50 meters, it is obviously impossible to replicate the Tianwaiqiao Restaurant."
"Our main focus is Farewell My Concubine, so we may not need to supply semi-finished vegetables and hot pot vegetable buns."
"No, Xiangjiang is the home of semi-finished vegetables. Believe me, when people in Xiangjiang experience the joy of cooking semi-finished vegetables, they will soon abandon the traditional shopping and cooking because the pace of life here is so fast."
"The problem is that Xiangjiang is too crowded and it is impossible to find large-scale venues. Even if you can find them, they are the property of local snakes."
"A sharpened knife never misses the woodcutter. If you look around, you will always find the right one."
"That's fine." Liao Pengfei nodded, took the document bag, and prepared to go out.
Yu Yang pulled out two spearmen and followed, "Wanhong Investment is very influential in Xiangjiang. Just like last night, the other party was able to convince the manager of Shangri-La Hotel and lead them to visit. You should be more careful when you are out. "
"Okay, boss."
After Liao Pengfei left.
Yu Yang picked up the leftover breakfast and fed the three puppies.
The next two were not Eastern Mountain thin dogs.
But a Wolf Qing, a Sichuan Eastern Hound.
After the former cultivated a different species, he became a long-haired snow wolf with pigtails, like a big girl.
After the latter cultivated the alien species, it turned into a black mass, like a wild boar, and the hair was a little prickly.
Interestingly, after being raised in the stable, all three puppies can understand the words of the boss.
You can even let the three puppies make some actions through a 3D bird's-eye view.
For example, Yu Yang asked: Is it okay?
If it’s good, the three puppies will be wagging their tails.
If not, the three puppies will roll around in place.
Yu Yang experimented all morning and continued to train in the hotel in the afternoon.
Then I taught the puppies how to crawl, identify various objects, 1+1=2, and do military boxing...
Wait until 3pm.
The convoy arranged by the aquatic products company picked up everyone and arrived at Haicheng Nightclub.
…
Haicheng Nightclub was built in the 1970s and was known as the Coliseum of the 1990s. Countless superstars and double divas have held concerts here.
But with the opening of the "Red Hall", even if the nightclub's large-scale performance venue can accommodate 1,500 people, it cannot save the increasingly lonely industry.
In particular, the emergence of private cinemas and mass-market KTVs has made nightclubs almost a thing of the past.
As for what the Red Hall is...
That's the Xiangjiang Stadium.
It was completed in 1981 and opened in 1983. At the beginning, no one sang there.
But after the owner of Haicheng Nightclub arranged a concert there out of novelty, the stadium suddenly became popular.
Yu Yang got out of the car and looked around.
There were no LED displays these days, so Haicheng Nightclub was surrounded by light box billboards made of neon lights, which looked very chronological.
As a symbol of the times, it not only has a huge surface parking lot, but also an underground parking lot with 500 parking spaces.
But all of this has become extremely depressed due to the advancement of the times and economic problems.
There are no luxury cars in sight, and there are not many customers coming and going. Maybe this is called a deserted place.
The person in charge of the Aquatic Products Import and Export Company in Xiangjiang parked his vehicle and trotted over, "Master, I've been here before and am quite familiar with it."
"Let's go."
Entering the lobby, the service staff were quite enthusiastic and took the initiative to help guide the way.
But I walked through the small aisles on both sides.
Yu Yang had a conflict with Wanhong Investment, and he even scored twice last night, so he was immediately wary.
Upon seeing this, Chang Fu grabbed the female waitress by the back of her neck and lifted her up in the air, "Why don't you go to the lobby?"
The latter panicked: "Someone is making trouble in the hall."
"Oh?" Yu Yang stepped back curiously and looked inside the hall.
I saw shadowy figures inside, and it was very noisy. They seemed to be scolding and beating people.
"What's going on?"
"The customer is Yu Laosan, the eldest brother of Yau Tsim Mong. He thought we had not paid dividends in the past three months, so he brought someone to visit us."
Xiangjiang is too prosperous, and its place names are also very different from those in the mainland.
Just like Kowloon, it is a district.
But there is Yau Tsim Mong district below it, and below it is Tsim Sha Tsui where Shangri-La is located.
There are also Guan Chung, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Tai Kok Tsui, etc.
Yu Yang thought about this and thought of the Young and Dangerous boy he had seen before, and immediately motioned to Chang Fu to lead the way and go in to check out the local rules.
The waitress quickly stopped her, "Guest, please don't go there. This is for your own safety."
"No problem."
While talking, Chang Fu led three spearmen into the inside of the hall.
First, like a waitress, she moved the three men with shawls on the outside lightly away.
Then he pulled the man in the denim jacket in front of him and the two people next to him apart.
The six men who had been molested looked over at them, their mouths opening and closing, as if they wanted to curse.
But seeing the spearman's height of nearly 1.9 meters, especially his arms that could run a horse, he immediately and politely moved out of the way.
Going forward it gets a bit messy.
Chairs fell to the floor and tables fell apart.
Six or seven men in ordinary attire surrounded a middle-aged and elderly man in his fifties, exhaling fragrance and saying something.
Yu Yang was a little curious.
Haicheng Nightclub is a symbol of an era. What can the person in charge say? He knows several big shots, but now he is being bullied like this by a few local gangsters?
“Is this your boss?”
The waitress nodded but said nothing.
"This Yau Jian Wang Yu Laosan has a very good background?"
The waitress hesitated slightly, "His father was the former police chief."
"Which one was before?"
"95 years."
"What year is it now?"
"99 years."
“You’ve already returned and you’re still so arrogant?”
"..."
Yu Yang looked up at the old nightclub, as well as the shabby tables and chairs, "Who is the boss here? Come out and speak, I will take over this place!"
Someone immediately walked out of the crowd and said in a nonchalant manner: "Who are you?"
"Me? Yu Sanyuan!"
