Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 332: Be willful and determine the design of the bar street

Chu Qianqian was helpless because of Margaret. As long as he shook his head, the girl would hold his arms and keep shaking.

After thinking about it, he got up and called Fei Bo.

Upon hearing that Chu Xiangqian dared to take Margaret to a food stall for dinner, Fei Bo's first reaction was to persuade him to wake up.

But Chu Xiangqian said, chartering a sightseeing boat and bringing all the chefs and ingredients on board, Fei Bo felt relieved.

When the boat is sailing on Victoria Bay, you can not only see the lights on both sides and the lively scenes around several piers, but also ensure safety to the maximum extent.

An hour later, Fei Bo called back and said everything was ready.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian go out with Margaret, Nata and a dozen bodyguards.

No need to take a car this time, it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the ferry terminal.

Margaret naturally preferred to walk, and because the sky was getting dark, this girl had already let Mrs. Breen know that she had a relationship with Chu Xiangqian by relying on the fact that she and Chu Xiangqian were drugged a few days ago.

Holding his arm, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding bodyguards, she walked on the road smiling and laughing.

The night wind in early May really felt cool when blowing on his body, and Chu Xiangqian's mood suddenly improved.

The bodyguards and attendants around them saw that Chu Xiangqian spent [-] to [-] Hong Kong dollars just to buy gifts in the afternoon.

In addition to the gold bead necklace on Margaret's neck and the ruby ​​earrings on her ears, I heard that they were all gifts from Chu Xiangqian.

Just these two items cost at least [-] to [-] pounds.

Not to mention, Margaret also exchanged several horses from Chu Xiangqian, which made the value even higher.

Although they definitely didn't agree with him in their hearts, for the sake of money, the bodyguards and attendants looked at Chu forward with a hint of respect and a hint of fear.

When he arrived at the pier, Chu Xiangqian saw Fei Bo and his confidant Dakou Ying from a distance, guarding a thirty-meter-long sightseeing boat on the pier with a dozen plainclothes men.

And even the food and other things shipped on the ship are inspected.

Chu Qianqian smiled and shook his head, but he could also understand Fei Bo's thoughts.

If something happened, he would definitely be the first to be unlucky.However, if Margaret said something nice to him when she was happy, it would do a lot of good.

If there is a real competition in the future for Inspector Zonghua of the New Territories, Fei Bo's chances of winning will be much greater.

At the dock, Chu introduced Fei Bo forward, and Margaret immediately smiled and said, "I remember you, the brave and witty Inspector Liu."

Fei Bo had been in contact with Margaret at the Central Police Headquarters last time with Lan Gang.

Because of Fat Bo's size, Margaret initially doubted how he could catch and even kill Po Hao's men because he was so fat.

But with Chu Xiangqian's explanation, Margaret mistakenly believed that Fei Bo was not an activist but a commanding police officer.

Now seeing that he was helping to prepare tonight's dinner and itinerary, he immediately liked Fei Bo even more.

He put his arm around Chu Qianqian and said, "My dear, in order to thank Inspector Liu, let's invite him to have dinner with us, okay?"

Fei Bo was overjoyed, and Chu Xiangqian naturally had no objection.

Fei Bo quickly looked at Chu Qianqian with gratitude, and all his subordinates became envious and excited.

The better off the boss is, the better for his subordinates.

His attitude became more positive for a while.

After the sightseeing ship left the port, the kitchen began to prepare food.

In just half an hour, one dish after another was served without interruption.

Satay beef noodles, secret pork chop, braised beef brisket, salt and pepper squid, steamed shrimp with garlic vermicelli, oyster cake, honey beef cubes.

Pan-fried stuffed three treasures, fried razor clams with black bean pepper, fried crab with ginger and green onions, hand-baked fish eggs, cuttlefish balls, fried shrimp rice rolls and roast goose.

In order to prepare for tonight's meal, Fei Bo directly invited all the master chefs and helpers from the four most famous food stalls in Yau Tsim Mong.

Moreover, after Fei Bo had eaten the Chinese food with Chinese style and Western-style presentation, he even invited a chef and two waiters from the Chinese restaurant.

While keeping an eye on the kitchen, I also serve the dishes with Western-style plating.

Not only Margaret and Nata were laughing while eating, but the attendants and bodyguards at the other two tables were also using their knives and forks non-stop.

As for the security on the sightseeing ship tonight, it was naturally left to Oguchi Ying and the six plainclothes men who had absolute trust in Feibo and were able to get on the ship.

Moreover, Margaret's bodyguards did not serve all of the food on the table. Instead, they ate half of the food first, while the other half stayed around the table.

When the meal was over, Margaret said she wanted to say thank you to tonight's chef, as was customary, and to chat a bit about which dish she liked best.

Which dish did she think needed improvement?

This was a normal thing in Western food, but Fei Bo was in trouble.

The old food stall chefs, because of the fierce fire, basically wear vests, that is, knee-length shorts.Many even went shirtless.

In addition, doing food stall business is actually very tiring. If you think about it, you will know that the image of these people is definitely not good.

It's not that Fei Bo looked down on these chefs. Even though he specifically reminded the chefs to dress more formally today, the attire was still a lot worse than that of Western chefs.

Fei Bo was now worried that foreigners would think that local chefs had this image.

When the time comes to talk about it back to London, it will definitely damage the image of Hong Kong people.

He quickly looked at Chu Qianqian and motioned for him to help persuade Margaret.

Chu waved his hand forward and said to Margaret with a smile, "According to Chinese custom, whichever dish you like, you should finish it instead of directly praising it."

After speaking, he pointed to the five or six empty plates and said, "I think the chef tonight must be very happy."

Margaret was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Chinese people were always shy and modest, so she nodded and said sorry.

Never mention the meeting with the chef again.

However, this girl still left a tip on the table out of habit.

Chu Xiangqian simply took out a 500 Hong Kong dollar note and placed it on the table with a cup.

Fei Bo silently gave Chu Qianqian a thumbs up, and then ordered the boat to get closer to the Central Pier and drive east along the pier.

Watch the scenery of Hong Kong Island along the way.

Margaret immediately pulled Chu Qianqian onto the observation deck of the sightseeing ship. Chu Qianqian also hugged her from behind and started chatting in a low voice.

The two of them looked at the tall buildings and rows of lights, feeling vaguely that it would be nice if time stopped at this moment.

And at this moment, Chu Xiangqian really felt that he was beginning to like Margaret.

Rather than always thinking about how to use her fame and influence, not entirely, he only coveted the desire for conquest brought by Margaret's beauty and status.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, the sightseeing boat docked at the ferry terminal. After Margaret got off the boat, she couldn't help feeling that time passed so quickly.

Chu Qianqian simply held her hand and said with a smile, "There are many places we can go to when we have time in the future, so there is no need to be so reluctant to leave."

Margaret nodded hurriedly, and the emotion in her heart disappeared in an instant.

Back at the hotel, when the elevator reached the fifth floor, Margaret winked at Chu, suggesting that he climb the wall to his room at night.

Chu Xiangqian naturally would not refuse. He smiled and nodded slightly, got out of the elevator, and watched the elevator door close.Go back to your suite, enter the novice village, lie down and take a bath in the fountain.

I looked at the time, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.

Following his thoughts, Titmouse flew to the suite on the 7th floor and saw Margaret already washed and lying on the big bed reading a magazine.

Chu Xiangqian then easily jumped out of the window and climbed along the wall to the seventh floor.

That night, the two of them just communicated and made little noise.

After everything calmed down, Margaret lay on Chu Qianqian's chest with a smile and whispered, "My dear, there is something different about you tonight."

Chu Qianqian was stunned, secretly thinking that this girl was really sensitive, and he actually felt that he no longer had any desire but no love for her.

He lowered his head and kissed Margaret on the forehead, and said with a smile, "Do you like me to be gentle or impulsive?"

Margaret smiled, "As long as I'm with you, I like it."

Chu Qianqian laughed, hugged this girl and chatted for a long time, and then unconsciously, he fell asleep until the sky got slightly brighter.

Chu Qianqian got up only after being reminded by Tit.But this time he didn't climb the wall again.

Instead, he opened the bedroom door slightly and looked outside to make sure no one was in the living room.After getting dressed, come out directly from the living room and take the stairs back to your room.

At around 8 o'clock in the morning, after breakfast with Margaret, Chu went out and drove to the ferry terminal.

From far away, I could see Sanjiangshui, camels and five or six people waiting at the breakfast shop outside the pier.

Seeing Chu Qianqian stepping out of the car, Sanjiangshui and Luotuo hurriedly led people to greet him.

Chu Qianqian nodded towards Sanjiang Shui, "Senior Brother, I have been lucky to you recently."

Sanjiang Shui was stunned for a moment, and then all the happiness he had experienced in the past few days and the anxiety and worries he felt when encountering trouble suddenly disappeared.

He waved his hands with a silly smile, "Whatever you say, boss, I have to do things for you with your money. And you helped me with my plain clothes.

In terms of kindness, I owe you more. "

Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "Okay, okay, we are brothers, and it is only right to support each other."

The camels and a dozen boys on the side looked envious.

Chu Qianqian took out a twig of cigar and gave one to each of Sanjiang Shui and Luo Tuo. After lighting it himself, he threw the cigarette case to Sanjiang Shui's younger brother Afa.

Let him distribute it to everyone.

Anyone who lights a cigar feels very happy.

Chu Xiangqian knew that his method of winning over people was not clever, but the simpler, sometimes the better the effect.

The group of people walked across the pier area and came to the road beside the beach.

Luotuo pointed to a step leading down to the beach and said, "Boss, the starting point is the step over there, and 80 meters to the east is the land for the bar street approved by the land administration this time.

Brother Shui and I went to several contractors to look at it, and several drawings were produced.

Basically, it is determined that a room is 4 meters wide and the length of the store can be 6 meters.

The area is not large, but it is enough for open-air bars, cafes, barbecue stalls, tea restaurants, and food stalls.

Moreover, the land administration department allows two floors to be built, which is not too small.

If someone really feels that the space is not enough, the two stores can be merged. "

Chu nodded forward. His previous idea was to build 50 stores, but this plan was directly rejected by the local district administration.

Even if one room is 3 meters wide, 50 stores will still be more than 150 meters wide.

The length is so great that the Land Office is afraid that if East Tsim Sha Tsui wants to reclaim the sea in the future, it may be completely blocked by Chu Qianqian’s bar street.

When the time comes, if you want to drive trucks to the beach and transport soil to fill the sea, you may have to nod your head forward.

If this is the case, the district office will be laughed to death.

Chu Xiangqian had talked with Nelson before, but the ghost guy refused to approve such a long piece of land.

Then he gave Chu Xiangqian an idea, saying that when the bar street opened, he could also grant him a critical row of 4-meter-long land.

Chu Xiangqian understood what Nelson meant just by thinking about it.

The bar street faces the sea, and behind it is a main road.

With this extra 4 meters of land, 20 more stores can be built on the side facing the main road.

Compared with the plan to buy a 150-meter-long piece of land, it seems that I didn’t suffer much loss.

That’s why I didn’t continue to pester Nelson.

Chu Xiangqian took over the design drawings made by several contractors. After a closer look, he found that the designs on the four drawings were similar.

The common point is that they emphasize building one less store.

By building one less store, the 4-meter space saved can be used to build two 2-meter-wide aisles on one-third and two-thirds of the street.

This is to make it easier for customers to enter and exit, so that every time they come to eat or play, if they want to leave, they have to walk dozens of meters before walking left and right onto the main road.

Chu Xiangqian really hesitated this time.

If there is a whole street without aisles in the middle, it means that people who come here to eat, drink and have fun can visit other stores on this street.

This note is similar to how many supermarkets in the future will deliberately design their exits or entrances to make people walk hundreds of more steps.

But Chu Xiangqian knew how annoying this was to customers.

Pointing to a drawing, he said, "Just build according to this drawing."

Sanjiang Shui and Luo Tuo looked at the drawings and nodded. They had read these drawings many times, and every one of them was basically good, otherwise they would not have given them to Chu Xiangqian for decision.

Chu Xiangqian continued, "Does the contractor have a budget?"

三江水忙点头，“大概需要30万。建设一间2层的门店大概8千，19间得15万上下。

The rest of the cement floor, labor costs and miscellaneous things are also 15. "

Chu Xiangqian secretly said that prices are cheap these days. If this were the 80s and 90s, it would have cost tens of millions to build an 80-meter-long shop.

Of course, most of it is because land is expensive.

And I didn’t spend a dime to get this piece of land.It was all offset by sweat and blood.

"I will leave an account at the law firm. You two don't need to worry about the settlement of the project. Let the contractor settle the settlement with my lawyer."

Sanjiangshui and Luotuo nodded hurriedly.

I had never thought about profiting from the project, so I naturally wished I could ignore the accounts, lest trouble would come to me in the end even though I was not greedy for a dime.

Then the group went to Ho Man Tin and Hung Hom to look at the land for wet markets in these two places.

By the time we finished looking at these two places and discussed a rough renovation plan, it was already noon.
