The Siheyuan started with the young He Yuzhu

Chapter 191 The Heavenly Palace
"Are there many nightclubs on Hong Kong Island?"

"If it's like Li Chi, basically there are none, but the Paramount on Queen's Road and the Rich Nightclub in Causeway Bay are barely passable."

Regardless of the fact that Lichi Nightclub is located in North Point, a remote area far away from the downtown area of ​​Hong Kong Island, the big boss behind Lichi is well-managed, so in order to find some way to attract celebrities in the center of Central, the wealthy son came here Play, also based on the nightclub, opened a golf course, swimming pool, ice rink and bar!
In June 1946, Li Caifa introduced the beauty pageant that was only popular abroad at that time, and held the opening of the first Miss Hong Kong election in the history of Hong Kong Island in the name of the North Point Reich Nightclub.

Advertise in the newspapers, making the North Point Retiro Nightclub famous all over Hong Kong for a while, attracting countless playboys, celebrities and gentlemen to come for entertainment.

Today, Lichi has already become a well-known nightclub in Hong Kong Island, and the elected Miss Hong Kong, and even the dancers who got rich overnight because of accompanying customers, have also made Lichi Nightclub a stage in the hearts of many low-level girls.

American "Life" magazine praised Retiro as the largest amusement park in the Far East, and Li Caifa also won the title of "Emperor of Xiangjiang Nightclubs".

"Really? Then why did I see a nightclub on the way here, which seems to be not much smaller than Li Chi."

After listening to Editor-in-Chief Zhang's words, He Yuzhu pointed to the east in surprise.On the way here by rickshaw, there was a nightclub called "Tiangong" open there.

Although the gate is closed and there is no one outside, the venue and scale are not much smaller than this Retiro nightclub from the outside.

"Not smaller than Li Chi?" Editor-in-Chief Zhang pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Oh, Mr. He, you mean Tiangong!"

"Yes, it seems to be called Tiangong."

"The Tiangong Nightclub has been closed for many years."

"Closed? Why? I think the scale seems to be quite large."

"It's a long story." Editor-in-Chief Zhang looked around and confirmed that Li Chi's waiter was not around, and then said: "Speaking of Tiangong Nightclub, it was very popular in Hong Kong Island in the past two years. The proprietor is an English Jew named Charlie."

"This Charlie is a well-known dance hall tycoon in Hong Kong Island. He has five or six dance halls in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. He is known as the "Dance Hall King of Hong Kong Island"!"

"But after Retiro opened in 1945, the business of his ballroom became worse and worse. Finally, Charlie gritted his teeth and decided to follow Retiro's example in opening a nightclub. He took out all his savings and mortgaged the ballroom to the bank. Invested 1000 million yuan, set up the Tiangong Nightclub in North Point, aiming to compete with Li Chi’s boss.”

"Sir, you don't know that on the opening day of the Tiangong, Charlie did not hesitate to make a big publicity at a loss, and even invited the Chief Secretary at that time by virtue of his status as a British guy."

Editor-in-Chief Zhang couldn't help but think back to the day when the Tiangong Nightclub opened several years ago. At that time, he was just a small newspaper reporter who went to Tiangong to collect information. Very famous socialite.

The dragon and lion dance during the day, various bridal sedan chair stages, and the all-night firecrackers at night, the grand opening scene at that time is still unforgettable to Editor-in-Chief Zhang!

"Oh? Since the business is so good, why did it go bankrupt?" He Yuzhu was very curious. You must know that Hong Kong Island is still occupied by British guys at this time, and the boss of Tiangong is British guys. In addition, they have invited high-ranking officials. As for getting mixed up to the point of bankruptcy.

"I have to mention Mr. Du." Editor-in-Chief Zhang said: "After the opening of Tiangong, the business was booming for three days in a row, forcing Li Chi at that time to have no choice. In the end, the big boss of Li Chi invited him. Mr. Du."

"At that time, Mr. Du personally came to Lichi to support him, so he spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and the guests in Tiangong dispersed and returned to Lichi one after another."

"Since then, Lichi has become the headquarters of the people from the Three Mountains and Five Sacred Mountains, and it has been prosperous for a long time. However, Tiangong fell into a slump, and it was difficult to maintain it later, so it had to close down."

"Speaking of which, it only took three short months from the opening to the closing of Tiangong! Later, because Charlie went bankrupt, the property rights of Tiangong Nightclub were taken away by the bank."

Lost 1000 million in three months!He Yuzhu was dumbfounded when he heard that, Mr. Du's influence is too great!But after thinking about it, it's normal.

This Mr. Du is a leader of the youth gang in Shanghai, and later came to Hong Kong Island. Although he is old and does not care about world affairs, all his friends and wealthy businessmen who were in Shanghai all moved here.

For the sake of Mr. Du, those wealthy businessmen from Shanghai are naturally happy to sell their noodles.

After all, where is it not to play?Lichi was opened by our own people anyway, but Tiangong is the territory of the ghost.Thinking of this, He Yuzhu pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Editor Zhang, what do you think if I reopen the nightclub in Tiangong?"

"Panxia Tiangong?!" Editor-in-Chief Zhang stared at He Yuzhu in surprise, as if silently asking if the other party was joking.

"Yes, I want to make a deal." He Yuzhu nodded solemnly.This is not an idea that he came up with at the first slap of his head, but a thought that has been carefully considered.There are many businesses that can be done on Hong Kong Island, and this is an excellent time to join forces and carve up all the major businesses on Hong Kong Island!

But still the same sentence, on Hong Kong Island, it can be described as unfamiliar with the place of life.In addition, whether it is port freight or investment in building factories, these are not what He Yuzhu is good at.It is very unrealistic to want to achieve it overnight.

Even if there is a golden finger, it will not help for the time being.So after thinking about it, He Yuzhu decided to take it step by step and found out that the newspaper office of "Chinese Daily" might face the risk of bankruptcy due to insufficient funds. He also seized the opportunity and wanted to recruit some people to open the newspaper office.

Regardless of whether you make money or not, you should first lay a solid foundation, and then slowly get to know the merchants on Hong Kong Island, and gradually form a network of contacts before making future plans.

It's just that now that Tiangong Nightclub has closed down and the property rights have been handed over to the bank, the idea of ​​investing in the nightclub came into being.On the one hand, it is because the entertainment industry brings in money quickly, as long as they win Tiangong, they can gather funds as quickly as possible.

The second thing, which is also the most important thing, is to use the Tiangong Nightclub to win some connections.

As for the indispensable younger brother in the entertainment industry.Don't worry at all, when the time comes, arrange Jiang Zhen and Xiao Fei to come to Tiangong to be security guards or something, and they will be able to deal with those clubs completely.

"This...sir, it may be a bit presumptuous, but you want to take down the Tiangong..." Editor-in-Chief Zhang hesitated to speak, and wanted to persuade something, but he considered that it was not good for the two of them to talk shallowly.

Seeing what the other party meant, He Yuzhu waved his hands and said, "Editor Zhang has something to say. I haven't come to Hong Kong Island for a long time, and I don't understand many things. It's okay for you to talk about it!"
