Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

"Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong (

Shi Zhijian did not refuse the invitation letter sent by Li Zhaotian, chairman and chairman of the Hong Kong Chinese Merchants Food Association, to meet at the Taibai Seafood Restaurant.

Although he is very busy, he knows that this meeting is very important, and he must meet these big bosses.

Taibai Seafood Restaurant, Wang Youren, who is now the general manager of the Haili Lao flagship store, was poached from here by Shi Zhijian.

When Shi Zhijian appeared here, the new general manager had a strange look when he learned of Shi Zhijian's identity.

Shi Zhijian ignored it and walked straight to the agreed private room.

When I came to the private room, there were two sturdy men standing outside, watching Shi Zhijian vigilantly.

Shi Zhijian smiled at them, "I'm looking for Mr. Lee."

One of them nodded, then reached out and knocked on the door: "Lisheng, Mr. Shi is here!"

A voice came from inside: "Please come in!"

Shi Zhijian pushed open the door and entered, only to see only one person sitting in the large private room.

The man had a big back, thick eyebrows and narrow eyes, and a plump nose. He was calm and sophisticated, giving people a deep sense of the city.

Shi Zhijian had seen each other's photos many times in the newspapers, and had also heard about him.

Li Zhaotian!

The Lee family in Hong Kong is at the helm!

As for the Lee family, Shi Zhijian didn't like it much, because the development history of this family was somewhat dark. After earning enough money, the Lee family began to transform, operating real estate, shipping, and other businesses such as food.

"Sorry, Mr. Li, I kept you waiting." Shi Zhijian took off his heavy trench coat and handed it to the waitress beside him.

Li Zhaotian got up and said: "How could it be, I'm too happy to meet a young Junyan like you. Please take a seat, I have prepared hot tea for you."

"I didn't expect it to snow in places like Hong Kong, but it's strange." Shi Zhijian smiled and sat opposite Li Zhaotian, unbuttoning his suit jacket, looking very relaxed and casual.

Li Zhaotian nodded secretly and compared the situation when Dai Fengnian saw him back then. Although he was very stable, he was not as free and easy as Shi Zhijian.

"Actually, we met at the Shaw Brothers movie celebration banquet." Li Zhaotian said with a smile, "It's just that I was busy and didn't have the chance to chat with you."

"Oh, I remember what Mr. Li said. I saw you from a distance at the time, and I was surprised which Xiangjiang tycoon this is." Shi Zhijian said, took a sip of tea, and praised: "Dongding Oolong ? Good tea!"

"Mr. Shi also understands tea?"

"A little bit."

"That's the same person!" Li Zhaotian smiled, "You should have heard that our Chinese Business Association is affiliated to the Chinese Business Association. If you don't have a net worth of tens of millions, you are not eligible to join. How about it, Mr. Shi Are you interested?" Li Zhaotian squeezed the teacup, turned the mouth of the cup, and stared at Shi Zhijian with smiling eyes.

Shi Zhijian smiled: "I am interested, but my net worth is not enough."

"This is no problem. As long as I recommend it, you can join the club in minutes."

"What's the benefit of joining? Don't mind, Mr. Lee, you know that I'm from a poor family, and I like to judge, and I'll never do anything that doesn't help."

"Hahaha, I like your character!" Li Zhaotian laughed, "As long as you become a member of the Chinese Business Association, you can enjoy a lot of special treatment, such as tax relief. You can also enjoy information exchange, business, and it's just information. The battle. In the end, we support each other. If nothing else, we, Ricci Group, distribute New Year's benefits to tens of thousands of employees every year, and any instant noodle drink is also a big deal. How about it, does Mr. Shi still feel it? interest?"

Shi Zhijian smiled and gave a thumbs up: "It's really sharp."

Li Zhaotian looked proud, "Smart people know how to choose."

"Unfortunately, I'm not a smart person, I'm a stupid person! The stupid person from Shek Kip Mei!"

"What do you mean?" Li Zhaotian's expression changed slightly.

"My dead old bean taught me a sentence, eating people is soft-hearted and short-handed! How much you get, you have to pay!"

Shi Zhijian looked directly at Li Zhaotian, "I am afraid that I will have to do things for you because of your benefits! Unfortunately, I have a bad temper and don't like to follow others' orders!"

Li Zhaotian stared at Shi Zhijian, slowly put the teacup he was playing with to his mouth, took a sip, and smiled: "Interesting! Character! I like it!"

After a pause, he put down the teacup and said to Shi Zhijian, "Then Mr. Shi is going to give it a try, and he wants to join our Chinese Business Association by his own strength, right?"

"It doesn't matter to me whether to join or not."

Shi Zhijian's words made Li Zhaotian's eyes stunned. For a long time, countless people broke their heads and wanted to join the association, but Shi Zhijian ignored it.

In fact, in this era of Hong Kong, because of the suppression of the British colonists, many Chinese people spontaneously formed many social organizations and businessmen's associations during this period, in order to fight against the British who were doing their best.

However, with the infiltration and control of capital, these associations have begun to change their tastes, no longer seeking welfare for the Chinese, but have become chasing interests, and some even endanger the people.

The most famous of them are the four major societies in Hong Kong, Hutchison, Fourteen K, Teochew Gang, and New Ngee Ann.

These associations were originally established by poor people to protect their own interests. Later, they began to operate fan stalls, character flower stalls, and horse stalls, endangering one side.

The associations formed by businessmen have also deteriorated in the process of development, but the deterioration is relatively secret. After all, everyone is concerned about face and reputation in doing business, and they dare not do bad things blatantly. So from the very beginning, it was just some small associations secretly colluding with the British, importing some food and clothing from the UK, and even buying and selling some inferior medicines to the common people.

Especially in the 1950s, many anti-inflammatory drugs, painkillers, and some commonly used medicines for colds and fevers imported by pharmaceutical representatives in Hong Kong from AstraZeneca, the largest pharmaceutical company in the UK, were expired and deteriorated. Pull it over and hand it over to the Chinese businessmen here to help deal with it, and sell it to the local people, so that they can make a profit from it.

For Shi Zhijian, the Chinese business associations during this period were mixed, especially in the management of food and drug operations.

Last year alone, there were three food accidents, and they were all stopped halfway by the food association controlled by Li Zhaotian, and they were not reported much, so not many people knew about them.

"It seems that Mr. Shi doesn't look down on our association." Li Zhaotian's tone was lukewarm, "I like to watch Cantonese opera, and one of the lyrics is written like this, I will take you to the Golden Palace, but you are me Delusional madness!"

After a pause, "It seems that Mr. Shi also regards me as a delusional man!"

Shi Zhijian took a sip of tea~www.readwn.com~ put down the tea cup, and said, "Mr. Lee is joking, how dare I think like this! But I have few words, so I can't make it on the stage! Thank you for your oolong tea, I still have things to do, Go first!"

After speaking, Shi Zhijian stood up, bowed slightly to Li Zhaotian very politely, and then pointed to the coat hanging on the hanger to the waitress who was waiting on the side.

The waitress hurriedly took the clothes and came over, opened them, and helped Shi Zhijian put them on.

Shi Zhijian nodded again to the sitting Li Zhaotian before turning around and leaving the room.

In the room, Li Zhaotian sat on the seat with a gloomy face.

The waitress and others felt an indescribable depression and dared not speak.

"This is not a mad dog, it's a wolf! An unfamiliar jackal!" Li Zhaotian said to himself.

"Then are we going to keep raising Dai Fengnian's dog?" A voice came from next door.

Immediately, Li Shilun came to the private room from the next door with a smile, and sat opposite Li Zhaotian, "At least, this dog still recognizes people. Shall we help him and take care of those blood books and food safety matters?"

Li Zhaotian narrowed his eyes, "If I didn't see Shi Zhijian today, maybe I would be like you, thinking that as long as we take action, we can help Dai Feng year through difficulties, but just now I suddenly had a very strange feeling..."

"How do you feel?"

"Dai Fengnian, it's over!"

"Eh? Why do you think so? Can't we save him together?"

Li Zhaotian shook his head, "If we take action, we'll be pulled into the water too!"

Li Shilun's eyes narrowed, "Is this Shi Zhijian really that scary?"

Li Zhaotian didn't answer, but played with the teacup in his hand, "Tea is good tea, but guests are bad guests!"
