Chapter 261 Hot Lan Kwai Fong! Hundreds of Thousands of People Flocked to Lan Kwai Fong
Chapter 261 Hot Lan Kwai Fong! Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to Lan Kwai Fong!!
In 1978, the official population of Hong Kong was 4.6675 million.
In fact, these people should be the population with legal residence certificates in Hong Kong, including white people with Hong Kong ID cards and other certificates, and the population data is counted.
The population of Hong Kong is far more than this.
Before this, there were Tanka people in Hong Kong, and even many black households, who did not get ID cards and were not officially counted.
In addition, during this period, some people from China and even Southeast Asia smuggled into Hong Kong, and there were also international tourists who flew to Hong Kong for tourism and then stayed there.
Under this circumstance, the population of Hong Kong should have exceeded five million, which is only two million away from the historical permanent population of more than seven million in Hong Kong.
Today, Lan Kwai Fong is officially open for business.
Because today is Sunday, tonight is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas, many young men and women, even with their families, come here to play together.
When Yang Ming, Ah Zhu, and Zhong Chuhong just arrived here, he saw that there were people everywhere, and all kinds of noisy languages and dialects were everywhere.
However, the police officers here started to maintain order early in the morning, and even brought isolation fences in advance to prevent most people from gathering together and causing stampedes and other accidents.
Before Lan Kwai Fong officially opened, Mai Lisi and the management of Lan Kwai Fong Group, as well as the police officers of Hong Kong, held many meetings to prevent accidents.
Now Lan Kwai Fong is not only an important subsidiary of the Empire Group, but also an important storefront of Hong Kong and the Governor's Mansion. Many white people come here to consume, and the safety of those white customers must be guaranteed.
The Governor's Mansion of Hong Kong and the police officers of Hong Kong attach great importance to it.
Here, in addition to the police officers in uniform, there are also a group of part-time workers and a group of volunteers. It seems that there are many people on the street, and it is a bit messy, but it is not chaotic.
Yang Ming still pulled Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong. When they officially entered Lan Kwai Fong, the two women were quickly attracted by the decorated shops inside.
There are all bars and western restaurants here.
Every bar and every western restaurant has a different decoration. In addition, the streets outside are also decorated in various ways.
The first time I came here, I felt it was worth it just to see the decoration outside.
Lan Kwai Fong is also free to browse. Except for entering the store to consume, you don’t have to spend a penny.
Came to an Italian western restaurant.
Yang Ming saw the price list above.
He found it was really cheap.
Like pizza, pasta, steak, etc., it is cheaper than Yang Ming imagined.
In Yang Ming’s opinion, Lan Kwai Fong’s main feature is cheapness.
The environment here has become mid-to-high-end after decoration. In Yang Ming’s opinion, what is pursued here is still good quality and low price.
If the price is too expensive, even if some Hong Kong citizens can afford it, I am afraid they will not come again for a second time.
What’s more, most of Hong Kong’s white elites, even if they have money, can’t spend a lot of money.
They still like to buy a glass of imported German beer for 5 Hong Kong dollars or 8 Hong Kong dollars, sit here and enjoy the slow life for most of the day.
The consumption here is not expensive now.
Even, like many food and drinks, you can get free snacks.
In addition, it has just opened today, and Lan Kwai Fong has a 20% discount, which is even cheaper.
A cup of German beer here used to cost 5 Hong Kong dollars, but now it only costs 4 Hong Kong dollars, and peanuts and other snacks are also given.
In this case, almost every store is very popular.
Some are full of queues.
There are too many people inside and outside the store.
In Yang Ming's opinion, if there are too many people, it is actually not very comfortable.
Many tourists and citizens who came here today are just looking for novelty or excitement.
Yang Ming took Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong around and finally found a place with few people and found a place to sit down.
Before coming.
Yang Ming, Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong and others had dinner in advance, so he was not hungry.
Since he was here, he might as well eat something here.
A white waitress came over with a menu.
There are English and Cantonese on it, which can be seen very clearly.
"Whatever you like to eat, just order whatever you want."
A Zhu and Zhong Chuhong ordered some snacks.
Yang Ming ordered a drink.
Not long after, the young white waitress brought some free snacks and told Yang Ming that these were free and that if they tasted good, he would come again next time.
When the other party left, Yang Ming thought she would wait for a tip.
In Hong Kong, basically every service, including hotel waiters, restaurant waiters, security guards, etc., they have the habit of collecting tips.
If you meet a generous boss, the tips you give will be quite a lot in a day.
In a month, it may even be higher than a month's salary.
It is said that Li Jiacheng also gives tips, but not much.
Yang Ming knows that tipping has penetrated into all aspects of Hong Kong.
When he mentioned the act of tipping with Maris and Kahn, he knew that if he proposed that waiters should not accept tips, he would be resisted by those waiters.
In this case, of course, it is not appropriate.
In that case, he did not suggest that waiters should not accept tips from customers.
In the end, he still suggested that if you can avoid it, don't accept it. Even if you want to accept it, you can only accept it if the customer gives you a tip. If you force yourself to accept tips, it will sooner or later affect the mood of the customers and the reputation of Lan Kwai Fong.
When the waitress brought the drinks ordered by Yang Ming and the snacks ordered by Ah Zhu and the two girls, Ah Zhu gave the waitress a tip of 1 Hong Kong dollar.
The young white waitress thanked Ah Zhu and put it in her pocket. Looking at her bulging pocket, she didn't know how much such tips she had received.
Yang Ming was tasting the drink there.
Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong were tasting snacks there.
Looking at the Lan Kwai Fong Group he created, Yang Ming was still a little happy.
He knew that he was standing on the shoulders of the giants of history and referring to the Jewish businessman Sheng Zhiwen. If it wasn't for Sheng Zhiwen who created such a place in his previous life, Yang Ming really couldn't think of it and didn't know this place.
. . .
Yang Ming and others stayed here until after six o'clock in the evening, and the night of Hong Kong began to come.
The beautiful lights here in Lan Kwai Fong were turned on.
The Lan Kwai Fong area becomes more beautiful at night, and more and more Hong Kong citizens and tourists flock to this place.
Yang Ming knows.
The Lan Kwai Fong Group he built with his own hands should be successful, and it is not inferior to the Lan Kwai Fong Group built by Sheng Zhiwen in history.
"Let's go back." Yang Ming said.
"Master, go back so soon?"
They have been sitting here for two or three hours, and have seen many places in Lan Kwai Fong. Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong are still reluctant to leave.
The main reason is that the lights here at night are too beautiful, and there are happy Christmas songs everywhere, which makes people linger here.
"Go back, there will be more people here in a while."
