History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 322 The Hundred Days Banquet
Jiang Tianyang said in a deep voice: "He Sheng, Xu Tianbao's lair has been found, but it's up to luck to catch him."

"He rarely appears in his old den?" He Dingxian asked aloud.

Jiang Tianyang said: "In addition to reuniting with family members during festivals, he usually leads bandits to commit crimes on the island, and he has a six-bedroom wife. Using his wife and children as hostages may not be effective. But he snatched a batch of white powder and went back. , and I know all the white fans in Nanyang, as long as he wants to ship, I will definitely receive news."

He Dingxian nodded: "Then we have to change the method? It's best to catch Xu Tianbao on the shore, so that the Tianbao bandits have no leader, otherwise the water village will not be so easy to fight."

Jiang Tianyang knew it well: "Understood, He Sheng."

"Are you free to come to Hong Kong Island for a cup of tea?" He Dingxian said: "Next week, we will have a drink at Chaofu Restaurant, and we have invited many brothers. You haven't come back to visit your family in Nanyang for a long time, right?"

Jiang Tianyang's heart throbbed for a while, but he still suppressed his thoughts and said: "He Sheng, I will go back to rest for a few days after the Nanyang business is over. The Tianbao thief's actions are secretive. Once the monitoring is relaxed, the opportunity is very likely to come. slipped out of hand"

He Dingxian admired Jiang Tianyang's quality in his heart. It seems that the Jiang brothers are the real dragon and tiger brothers, who have the potential to do great things.

He immediately laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, okay, when you come back from Nanyang, I will take care of you, please be happy and happy."

"Thank you He Sheng."

Jiang Tianyang hung up the phone.

eight days later.

Chaofu Restaurant.

He Dingxian was wearing a white long gown, with pomade, and dressed up very vigorously. He stood at the door of the restaurant and greeted the customers: "Brother Tai, welcome!"

"Ah Yin."

"congratulations."

Huo Guantai was wearing a suit, smiling.

He Dingxian smiled and led him into the hall: "Brother Tai, find a seat and sit casually."

Huo Guantai walked to the main table with his head held high, asked his subordinates to take out a wooden box, opened it to reveal a pair of longevity locks, and said to Chu Yunnan who was guarding the child: "Miss Chu, the little baby is very cute. Be careful and wish your baby a healthy and happy life forever.”

Chu Yunnan was wearing a red dress, ponytail, and light makeup, and said with a smile, "Thank you Huo Sheng."

"Little Beibei!"

Huo Guantai was full of liking, and gently touched the tip of the child's nose with his finger. After molesting the child like a bad uncle, he greeted Chu Weinan, Wang Laoji, Xu Aizhou and others with a smile on his face, and came to the left A table to sit and drink tea.

At the same table are Qiu Degeng, Zou Huaiwen, Zheng Yutong, Bao Yugang and others.

Today is He Jianhua's [-]-day banquet.

But the protagonists of children's banquets are often adults, no matter how much gift money is collected, the children will not be able to see them in the future.At this time, He Jianhua was sleeping soundly in the arms of the nanny, while a helper stepped forward to collect the gift from Huo Sheng and placed it on a round table covered with red cloth in the hall.

At this time, dozens of gifts, large and small, were placed on the round table, among which gold locks and gold medals were the main ones, and a racehorse was the most valuable, worth more than 20 Hong Kong dollars. It was named "Ping An Health". Just hire another jockey to participate in the race, and He Jianhua will become the youngest "horse owner" in Hong Kong. It has to be said that a horse age of [-] days is also a record.

It's a pity that the horse was not brought to the scene, and it was just a horse certificate in the red envelope.

As for gold locks, gold medals and other items, the market value is around 10,000 to [-], and there are many of them worth [-]+, most of which are gifts from the seniors of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce and the business partners of the He family.There is no need for these people to give too expensive gifts, and it is an unspoken rule at banquets to use wooden boxes and other objects to hold gold ornaments.

Because, in this way, you can avoid the weight of the gold jewelry and take care of the face of other guests. After all, gold is extremely malleable, and a dozen grams can be used to play a large gold medal. Who knows that the inside is hollow and solid?
Zhu Youzai sat on a table on the right side of the hall, holding a brush, wrote down the gifts and red envelopes given by the guests, and chose whether to roll their names according to the guests' own requirements.Sometimes the roll call is a kind of respect for the guests, and sometimes it is rude to compare. We can only focus on the feelings of the guests.

In today's banquet, apart from He Dingxian's colleagues and brothers, there were also friends and relatives of Chu Yunnan and Chu Weinan.

"Ken sir."

When He Dingxian saw the officer present, he warmly went forward, held the officer's hand, and gave him a big hug.

Jian Baoning smiled and said, "Sir He, congratulations. As a member of the police force, I have nothing to give away. Apart from a red envelope, I can only give you a Commonwealth permanent residence permit. I know you don't need this Things, but it will be much more convenient for children to study in the Federation.”

Now the British Commonwealth has very strict conditions for Chinese permanent residence, and a green card is worth a lot.

He Dingxian knew that it was really inconvenient for Jian Baoning to seal the gift, so he was very considerate of using a green card as a gift, and immediately said: "Thank you, Sir Jian, for your trouble."

"Haha, a little thought." Jian Baoning saw a few more cars parked on the street one after another, and said with a smile, "You entertain the guests first, so you don't need to chat with me."

"Haibo, please insist on going in, sir."

The housekeeper of the Chu Mansion immediately stepped forward and said kindly: "Sir Jian, please follow me."

"Ah."

Jian Baoning nodded slightly, and led by Hai Bo to the first guest table on the left, which is the head of the guest table of the police force, which can be said to be very courteous.His identity also attracted the attention of many chamber of commerce bosses, and it was inevitable that some people would come forward to toast and make friends after the meeting.

With He Dingxian's current status in the world, holding a centenary banquet for the eldest son of the eldest son is destined to be a major event that will cause a sensation in the world.Although the news did not appear in the newspapers, the police circles, bosses of Chinese capital, and gangsters all heard about it.

Some people even judge a person's status in the rivers and lakes by whether they can participate or not.

Afterwards, Yifu, Ge Bai, Gordon, Kunxian and other police chief ghosts arrived one after another.The gifts of these people are valuable, but not too much. As public officials, we still need to pay attention to the impact on all walks of life.

The bosses of these ghosts naturally sat at the same table and began to exchange feelings. During the period, there were Xinji, Yiqun, Chao Yiyong, and Heji sitting in the hall, but the gangsters are only suitable to sit on the right side on this occasion. last seat.

Sadly, only one table was set up for them, not even one more.

That is to say, no matter how good the club boss is, his position is guaranteed, and only those who are strong enough are eligible to come.

Additional tables are not possible!
It is enough to prove the low status of the Jianghu society, but in front of the big bosses and officers, how can it be regarded as harsh treatment for the Jianghu people to have a place?The bosses greeted each other, but they didn't dare to leave the wine table easily, and they knew themselves when they thought about it.

In order to entertain guests well, Sir He not only booked the entire restaurant and made the furnishings, but also specially invited a top western food team, as well as many chefs from Hong Kong Island. , just spent two 10,000+ Hong Kong dollars, which is really grand.

Every table, every position is particular.

It's not that you just add it.

He doesn't care, the guests will care... But this time, the children's [-]-day banquet, if you want to be low-key or simple, it won't work!Because, he hasn't formally entertained the interest groups around him for a long time, and the situation has changed too much in the past two years. He just needs a formal banquet, so that friends from all over the world can meet and show their political power, which can greatly promote unity.And recently, he has to participate in the election of the chamber of commerce, so he needs to put on a show and show off his muscles.

This is a banquet with political significance, and the child's hundred days is nothing more than a reason, and the focus of everyone's attention is not on the child.Because children have no face, only adults have face!
At this time, an unexpected figure appeared at the door of the restaurant, stepped forward to hand over a red envelope, and said: "He Sheng, the scene is so lively, the Chinese elites on Hong Kong Island are already in the restaurant, right? Will you take me with you later?" See you soon."

"Mr. Lin."

He Dingxian held Lin Youfu's hand, patted him on the shoulder, and said excitedly: "I didn't expect you to take the time to visit Hong Kong Island, thank you very much."

"Originally, Chairman Ma wanted to come in person, but there were some things he couldn't get away from, so he had to entrust me to come and congratulate." Lin Youfu said: "I represent the entire Nanyang Chinese Labor Front compatriots, and I came to congratulate Sir He on his happy event."

"Thank you so much."

He Dingxian said: "I will definitely go to Nanyang next time, and find Lin Sheng and Chairman Ma for a drink or two."

"It's settled!" Lin Youfu pushed his glasses, put them close to his ear, and suddenly said: "He Sheng, the Hongqi Gang has contacted you for you. Just call when you need it."

"Thank you!" He Dingxian thanked him very solemnly, let go of his hand and let Haibo bring it to the table himself.The appearance of Lin Youfu immediately attracted the attention of many chamber bosses, such as Fang Suquan, Chu Weinan, Li Guanchun, Luo Wenjin, etc., but they are very familiar with Nanyang politicians. Several people looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly. The Guangfu Chamber of Commerce, Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, and Dongguan Chamber of Commerce still have some deviations in their perception of Sir He.

"Brother Xian!"

Lei Luo was wearing a suit and tie, holding his wife Axia on his arm. He had a very handsome demeanor.

I saw him striding to the door of the restaurant, raised his hand to say hello: "I brought a little gift to Ah Hua, I wish my nephew good luck, wealth, safety and health!"

He Dingxian saw four plainclothes detectives behind him, each carrying a corner, above which was a large glass cabinet, in which was a big golden pig one foot high and three feet long.

"Ah Luo, do you want to be so exaggerated? Why not use such a big golden pig to make a roast suckling pig?" He Dingxian looked at the golden pig and felt that it was one-to-one in size with the little suckling pig, but Lei Luo shook his hand, He said proudly: "Be a little bit careful, don't be polite."

"Is it solid?" Sir He hammered Sir Lei on the shoulder, but Lei Luo avoided talking about it, and said with a smile: "Customized!"

The lard boy had someone move the big golden pig into the restaurant, and it immediately attracted the attention of many guests, many of whom were secretly speechless.This pig is worth more than one million Hong Kong dollars just by its size and quality, but if it is a little less, the golden pig has already shrunk.

At the same time, while writing the gift list with a pen, Zhu Youzai called out his name at the right time: "Mr. Lei Long, Chief Inspector of Kowloon District, sent a big golden pig. I wish Master He good luck, peace and joy!"

Doorway.

He Dingxian lowered his voice, and said to Lei Luo in private: "Ah Luo, what are you doing, sending such a valuable thing, what will the brothers from other police forces do later?"

Lei Luo said: "It is precisely because you are a brother in the police force that you want to give it more expensive. After you were promoted to the superintendent, you helped your brother to be promoted and transferred. You have never held a banquet to collect money. How can you feel at ease? Today I have taken the effort. Let’s see later, those people can’t wait to move all the banks here to send you off.”

He Dingxian knew that the exaggerated comparison of the Chinese police force was about to begin.

Can't stop it!
"Take Axia to sit in, and Haibo will arrange a seat for you." He Dingxian knew that in the Chinese tradition of the police force, he asked his subordinates not to give him money, such as asking them to jump into the sea.In this banquet where there is no competition for interests, the farther away the relationship is, the more valuable the gift will be for the person who wants to win the relationship.

Just as Lei Luo left on his front foot, Qian Weishan entered the door confidently with a big golden Buddha in his arms on his back foot.
