Chapter 39 039【Peninsula Hotel】

With the help of Hong Yihai and others, Shi Zhijian finally consigned ten heavy instant noodle machines from Wanchai pier to Yuen Long factory.

There is no convenient large-scale lifting machinery in this era, so that the work efficiency of handling is very low. After all ten machines are in place, it is almost noon.

Looking at the production line built by ten machines placed neatly in the factory, Shi Zhijian put his hands on his hips, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

Shi Zhijian gave Shaqiang a sum of money and asked him to take Da Daxiong and others to have lunch. Although Hong Yihai and the others insisted on not paying for the transportation, a meal and wine are still necessary.

Here, Shi Zhijian led three technicians from Dongying 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 technicians of Jinlong Co., Ltd., and there is no additional commissioning fee or consulting fee during their stay in Hong Kong. They only need to take care of food and housing.

After debugging the machine, Shi Zhijian asked someone to arrange for the three technicians to go to a nearby hotel to rest. The three of them had to stay in Hong Kong for a month, and they could not leave until Shi Zhijian's production line was officially put into operation and checked that there were no problems.

In fact, Asakura also had his own purpose in doing this, and asked the three technicians to collect specific data on the new machine, so that they could have first-hand information in future sales.

After finishing everything, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

After Shi Zhijian left the factory, he was about to find a noodle stall to finish eating chop suey noodles when he saw the familiar Bentley sedan slowly approaching.

The Bentley stopped in front of Shi Zhijian, and Xu Shixun's attendant Ah Xiang 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 expected that Xu Shixun would look for him, so he nodded and said, "It happens that I'm a little hungry, so I'll bother you!"

Shi Zhijian was about to get into the car, and Sha Qiang brought Lou Daxiong and others back from dinner. Everyone was blowing water with toothpicks in their mouths. When they turned around, they saw Shi Zhijian getting into the Bentley again.

Sha Qiang shouted at the top of his voice, "A Jian, what are you doing?"

Shi Zhijian said, "I'll do something! If you have nothing to do, please help clean up first!"

Silly Qiang fell silent.

Da Louxiong, Chen Jinlong, Chen Jinhu and others bit their toothpicks, dumbfounded, and said to themselves, three times! This Bentley has already driven Brother Jian three times! It seems that the relationship between Xu Sanshao and Brother Jian is indeed very iron, iron smoking!

...

Ah Xiang also felt that the relationship between his young master and Shi Zhijian was a bit too "iron".

He was driving in the front driver's seat, and couldn't help but glance at Shi Zhijian through the rearview mirror.

Ah Xiang couldn't figure out why the third young master always asked him to drive Shi Zhijian.

The third young master had made many friends before, but none of them were treated like Shi Zhijian.

He, A Xiang, was a "follower" of a wealthy young man with a reputation, but he drove this Mr. Shi over and over again, and those who didn't know thought he was his driver!

Ah Xiang murmured carefully all the way, and soon drove to the "Peninsula Hotel" located in the southern section of the Kowloon Peninsula.

The Peninsula Hotel is one of the best hotels in Hong Kong in this era. It is not only a paradise for the rich, but also the first choice for foreign VIPs to come to Hong Kong.

The hotel was completed and opened in 1928, and the construction cost alone cost three million Hong Kong dollars, which is sky-high based on the prices of 40 years ago.

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 coffee shop is located on the garden balcony on the third floor. There are several parasols on the balcony. Men and women in suits and leather shoes sit under the umbrellas, bathing in the sun, overlooking the scenery and drinking coffee.

A western band is playing "Carmen" on the violin, and waiters in maid costumes are walking around carrying drinks.

Shi Zhijian saw Xu Shixun and Xu Sanshao from a long distance away. Xu Sanshao was wearing a bright red suit, leaning against the easternmost parasol on the balcony, yawning lazily, taking advantage of the gentlemen and ladies not paying attention. , and pinched his nostrils, and then clicked his mouth dullly.

Shi Zhijian strode over, but before reaching him, Xu Shixun had already seen him, sat upright quickly, and raised his arms to wave to Shi Zhijian.

"Third Young Master, come here for coffee in such a good mood?" Shi Zhijian smiled and pulled a chair opposite Xu Shixun to sit down.

Xu Shixun snapped his fingers beautifully at the waitress, pointing to the table: "Add another cup of cappuccino, thank you!"

Then he took out a cigarette and handed it to Shi Zhijian, "You can tell from my situation, I stayed up late last night and just woke up, so boring!"

After a pause, he continued: "You don't believe me, I still can't tell whether it's morning or noon! Have you eaten yet? Why don't you eat 'breakfast' with me!"

Shi Zhijian touched the matches with a smile, and said, "I'm here just for dinner. I heard that the steak in this western restaurant is very good!"

"You know the goods!" Xu Shixun smiled, "The steak here is delicious, try it!"

Shi Zhijian touched for a long time before realizing that he didn't bring matches, so he asked Xu Shixun, "Is there any fire?"

Xu Shixun looked surprised: "I don't have a fire either! I never carry a fire! It's always that kid Axiang who lights the fire for me! By the way, what about Axiang, where did he die?"

Axiang thought he was smart, and thought that the third young master wanted to have a private interview with Shi Zhijian, so he disappeared.

Shi Zhijian stood up helplessly, walked to a blond lady at the next table, greeted her in very proficient English, and asked if I could borrow a match.

The foreign girl was wearing a top hat with feathers, and she was smoking a slender "Rothmans" lady's cigarette in her mouth. Her posture was skillful, and she looked like an old smoker.

Foreign girls also like pretty boys, especially Shi Zhijian, who is personable and has a good temperament. He immediately took out a match and handed it to him, and threw a wink by the way.

Shi Zhijian took the matches and was about to show off to Xu Sanshao, but he saw Xu Shixun sitting on a chair holding a box of matches in his hand and shaking him with pride, but they were free matches prepared by the restaurant for the guests.

Shi Zhijian shrugged his shoulders, took advantage of the fire to light a cigarette, and chatted with the foreign girl a few more times, which made the foreign girl giggle, and then bowed politely to leave and returned to his seat.

"What did you talk to that foreign girl? Look, she was teased, her eyes are like silk, she leans back and forth, and almost spits out water!"

"I told her I would introduce you to her if she liked it!"

"Ah? Unexpectedly, you betrayed your brother for a match?!" Xu Shixun feigned anger.

"Also, I, Xu Shixun, love Chinese men upright, and I don't like foreign girls the most! They are so sexy! I have a dirty smell on my body, no matter how many baths I can't wash it off!"

Shi Zhijian was speechless watching Xu Sanshao's performance at the "Best Actor" level, and blew a smoke ring: "If you can't wash it off, then 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 about me! Where have I been?"

Shi Zhijian raised his legs, pointed at Xu Shixun's crotch with a cigarette in his hand: "Then please fasten your trousers first!"
