Sumu wood in the quadrangle welcomes spring

Hong Kong in the late 70s and early 80s was like two different worlds from Beijing.

The high-rise buildings standing side by side and the bustling modern scene with heavy traffic made Sumu feel like he had returned to the millennium of his previous life.

Even though it is still a little backward, the comfort and integration level are already sufficient.

For You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui who came with him, it was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, overwhelmed by the sights.

In an instant, all his energy was completely sucked away.

There were also four domestic accompanying personnel accompanying the trip.

Responsible for helping Sumu connect with several channels and providing assistance.

Outside the port.

There were already a row of more than ten black cars parked there.

Next to each car stood a young man in a suit.

He looks like a bodyguard, and actually is one.

There are two stretched Bentleys in the middle.

Su Mu and one of the domestic representatives got on the car in front.

You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui were led to the car at the back.

There are some confidential issues that need to be communicated on the road, and it is not convenient for them to hear.

"… HSBC plans to rebuild a new generation of buildings next year. It is said that they have invited a Pritzker Prize winner to personally design them. We are also preparing to apply for a piece of land to build our headquarters building, but we have not yet agreed to it and have not yet won the bid…"

The situation in Hong Kong is rather chaotic, with various factions and forces mixed together, but for the mainland, there are only four directions.

The competition on the surface is based on the capital forces of all parties, supplemented by the new trend of entertainment and public opinion, and also relies on many local gang forces...

Finally, there is an elite gathering of lurking personnel like Da Vinci.

The capital on the surface represents the four major institutions in mainland China...

The people who came to pick us up this time were their people.

Su Mu didn't say anything this time, allowing the relevant person in charge who came with him to communicate with the other party.

As reform and opening up progress, the importance of this tiny country dependent on the mainland will become smaller and smaller.

Su Mu is familiar with the ups and downs of Hong Kong, the leader of the Four Asian Tigers, in the next few decades.

It is just surviving by virtue of its intermediary status between the inland and the Western European and American world.

In fact, the local people in Hong Kong have very poor ability to make money and run businesses. Without the favorable conditions of policies and coordination among various forces, decline is natural.

Hong Kong is a product that only developed after Shanghai withdrew from the stage of history.

When Shanghai rises again and opens its doors to the world once again, Hong Kong's importance will no longer exist.

hmm~

By the way, weren’t these so-called elites in Hong Kong who created Hong Kong’s prosperity also the ones who swarmed in from Shanghai?

In Su Mu's heart, he never felt that Hong Kong people had any unwarranted sense of superiority.

Even though his mentality is unique in this era, or even in this parallel world.

"There will be good news soon, don't worry."

Seeing that they were still beating around the bush about the land auction near the HSBC headquarters in Victoria Harbour, Su Mu couldn't help but say something.

He hated this kind of discomfort.

Can't I speak normally when I'm outside?

Consider this, worry about that, and all the twists and turns are ultimately based on the same central idea.

"Really? Is the news true?"

The Hong Kong representative’s surname is Mou. He is a middle-aged man wearing gold-framed glasses and looks about the same age as Su Mu’s actual age in this life.

Su Mu did not introduce himself when he got on the car. This was the first time he spoke and he mentioned such an important point. The other party was a little hesitant whether to believe him or not, and subconsciously looked at the representative inland who was responsible for the connection.

The other party was also confused.

He had never received such information before coming here, and he also looked at Su Mu.

"Don't worry, we will be able to take pictures before or after the other party starts construction at the latest."

Su Mu mixed a thought in his mind, even though the location is not good and the place is not big.

The British Hong Kong government will still give face to the mainland one year later, but with a slight discount.

It is only 8500 square meters and is surrounded by viaducts on three sides.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that the design draft of the building of the Bank of China's Hong Kong headquarters was forced to come up with a three-edged blade-like method of breaking the deadlock based on the art of feng shui.

The convoy's trip focused on five-star hotels near Victoria Harbour.

They arrange food and accommodation, as they are the employers and have money.

Just before getting on the overpass, Su Mu suddenly turned his head and looked into the distance.

Then the bottom of the car shook slightly, and a loud explosion sounded from an area in the distance where there were six or seven-story residential buildings. When others looked over, there was already thick smoke.

"exploded."

There was a brief silence in the car where Su Mu was.

“Is this a Hong Kong characteristic?”

Su Mu smiled indifferently.

The Hong Kong representative turned around and looked at Su Mu with a strange expression.

In the car behind them, You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, looking at the place where the smoke was rising in the distance...

No matter how chaotic the capital city is, there will never be a scene as grand as this one.

"It's okay. As long as we don't go to those slums, it's fine. The two ladies can rest assured."

The other representatives who were accompanying him all offered their comfort.

For them, even if they are not used to it, they have already built up the mental preparation.

Su Mu and his group checked in at the Victoria Hotel.

There will be a welcoming banquet in the evening, and the heads of the four major institutions will be present.

Su Mu declined the invitation. He would only meet with representatives of China Travel Service and Bank of China in private to discuss some official matters and some personal matters.

Whether it is public or private, they have all "registered" with the boss before coming, which is beneficial to their side and not harmful.

"You guys take a good rest first. I have something to do this afternoon. I'll take you to eat at a food stall in the evening. That's the Hong Kong style!"

"how do you know?"

Zhao Xiaohui asked with a pout.

On the way, she heard several representatives talking about having dinner at a high-end restaurant in the evening and she was looking forward to it, but she didn't expect that the sumu would change it into a food stall.

"Aren't you joining us tonight?"

You Fengxia is much smarter than Zhao Xiaohui, and the questions she asks are very reliable.

"Let's discuss business in the afternoon and not socialize with those old guys in the evening. We're here to have fun and get business done. We can't waste time with them all the time..."

Lou Xiao'e doesn't know Su Mu is coming yet.

Su Mu planned to take You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui out for a day and buy their luggage before making any further plans.

Of course, the main thing is to contact the local boss first, and then let Da Vinci arrange a few people to protect the two women, otherwise Su Mu will be worried.

You Fengxia pulled Zhao Xiaohui back to the room.

If possible, she would like to drag Su Mu back to sleep with her.

The quality of Hong Kong's five-star hotels is similar to that of domestic hotels that receive foreign guests, but You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui are not qualified to enjoy them.

The two women even found it novel to step on the thick carpet.

He was very curious about the furnishings and items in the room, his eyes were full of envy and amazement.

Su Mu, together with the accompanying representatives, held a small meeting with the host party.

After the meeting, Su Mu went to the room with two of them.

Su Mu's room is a suite.

There is a living room, a bar, and a large terrace with a swimming pool.

Su Mu also saw it after entering the room.

"This kind of room needs to be booked in advance. In order for Su Sheng to come this time, we arranged it five days in advance..."

Wang Furong was an old man in his fifties. He treated Su Mu with great respect, even a little flattering.

Wang Furong didn't know much about Su Mu's life, but he had experienced the erosion of time. Three years passed in the blink of an eye. He also experienced the mystery of Kunlun Mountain and slept for many years...

This person is from Qi, a place that all the five northeastern immortals from the mainland have to stay away from.

Wang Furong knew about this matter four and a half years ago without having to ask around.

He didn't expect to have the chance to meet the real person, so he made full preparations in the morning and was determined to invite this person to his home for a small gathering.

We just met, so some things are difficult to bring up directly.

"That's thoughtful. Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Su Mu accepted it calmly.

The boss had explained before coming that Wang Furong was also one of Sumu's tasks on this trip.

But since he didn't come straight to the point, Su Mu wouldn't chase him and do the job.

Just enough to leave some private time for yourself.

The other was an equally old man.

The three of them sat down, exchanged pleasantries, and then started talking about business.

Before the reform and opening up, it was almost impossible to move forward.

Fortunately, the reform and opening up is imminent, which has given them a shot of adrenaline and helped them recover a little.

Maybe in the eyes of some people, they are struggling to survive, but in their own hearts at this moment, the opportunity to soar to the top is still there.

If we analyze it more optimistically, the odds are fifty-fifty.

Su Mu will convey the content and main idea of ​​what the boss had told him exactly.

For the two old men, it was both a motivation and brainwashing.

When Su Mu sent them to the door, he could still see the friendly smiles on their faces, as if their inner ambition to do something big was ignited.

"Mr. Su, I'll arrange for a driver to pick you up the day after tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay, Mr. Wang, let's call."

Wang Furong promised to have someone send a mobile phone over later so that he could contact Su Mu more conveniently.

I originally planned to ask Sumu to come to my house tomorrow, but Sumu said he had something to do tomorrow, so we changed it to the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

Su Mu plans to buy clothes for You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui tomorrow.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lou Xiao'e will naturally be the host for dinner.

Speaking of...

Will You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui use these furnishings in the hotel?

The chaise longue in front of the floor-to-ceiling window is not for lying on, but for kneeling. The scenery of Victoria Harbour should be viewed from a low position, otherwise it would be just mediocre.

And in a well-decorated bathroom, how do you squat in the bathtub? How do you hold the toilet?

In that big mirror, how can I pose my legs to be more attractive...

These are all skills that need to be explored.

Su Mu went back to the house, picked up the phone and dialed.

The internal line asked You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui to come up. The presidential suite is always more comfortable than an ordinary twin room.

After a bumpy journey, both by plane and by ship, you have to have a good night's sleep.

You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui have never slept in the same bed.

In the glamorous Hong Kong, the air is filled with charming scents. Now that you have finished your work, you definitely need to relax.

Su Mu is very considerate to his women. At least he will personally soothe their hearts that are pricked up when they see explosions on the road.

……

Su Mu was having a lot of fun and unlocked a lot of knowledge with You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui. The three parties all experienced a lot of wonderful things they had never experienced before.

By the time I had rested enough and was ready to set off, it was already night.

They went out to take a taxi, and on the recommendation of the enthusiastic driver, the three of them came to Qiang Ji Food Stall on Yaodong Street.

Su Mu is not afraid of being cheated.

He speaks fluent Hong Kong dialect.

At most, the other party would think that he was a genuine Hong Kong guy who hooked up with two mainland girls...

It's already past half past eight.

All the shops along the street were closed.

After Su Mu took You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui off the car, they saw that almost the entire street was filled with white plastic tables and chairs.

The place was almost full at this time.

At first glance, it felt like the whole street belonged to them.

The customer base is quite busy, with all kinds of people.

You Fengxia subconsciously grabbed Su Mu's arm.

She saw several tables filled with tattooed young men with carved dragons and painted tigers, and several pairs of eyes were looking at her.

You Fengxia is just a businessman. As long as she can make money, she will not reject any opportunity to get involved. However, she is deeply afraid of evil forces.

Zhao Xiaohui is slightly stronger, but only a little.

Su Mu looked at the food stall filled with people with great interest. There were street thugs, white-collar workers walking together, and upper-class people in suits and leather shoes...

Hong Kong's food stalls are truly extraordinary and quite unique.

It not only welcomes people from the lower classes of society, but also many people from different classes like this atmosphere.

Su Mu led them inside and was lucky enough to sit down next to two tables of familiar customers who did not seem to belong to any variety of professions.

A thug had just settled the bill for this table and happened to receive Su Mu and his two companions.

The signature galangal chicken is a must-order, and I also ordered a portion of fried clams and fried noodles with soy sauce, and ordered four or five plates of seafood and snacks.

As soon as the waiter left after shouting, Su Mu's table attracted the attention of many people around.

The amount ordered was not less at all.

And it seemed like he didn't even look at the price when ordering.

Looks like someone who has plenty of money.

Su Mu didn't understand this. He was a stranger, and the two girls around him were dressed in a rather rustic way, looking like...

Well, a professional who takes his little sister to work.

But his dress and demeanor are very different.

How could a little brother be so generous as to pay out of his own pocket to treat my little sister to a meal?

Some people also think that this young man Sumu made a fortune, because he had the channels and luck to find two fresh goods that had just crossed the sea...

Anyway, few people have level vision.

Subconsciously, there is a bit of contempt.

It came from the rustic clothes that You Fengxia and Zhao Xiaohui wore, and the lack of confidence in their eyes.

The inferiority complex is most likely to attract ordinary people.

There were five or six young men dressed like gangsters at the table across the street.

It seemed that they had drunk quite a bit of alcohol. One of them, a yellow-haired guy with earrings, came over staggeringly with a bottle of wine in his hand.

"Hey, brother, the quality is good, what's the price? Let me arrange it..."

The tipsy feeling disappeared immediately.

Because there was suddenly a black and cold object in the yellow-haired man's mouth.

Not only did he sober up, he was almost frightened to death.

Who wouldn't be scared if a gun barrel was stuck in their mouth for no reason?

Su Mu glanced at the four companions of Huangmao who stood up one after another on the opposite side.

He twisted his neck, making two cracking sounds.

The yellow-haired man was startled and quickly raised his hands, making a gesture of surrender.

The wine bottle hit the ground with a thud, and the residue shattered all over the floor.

In an instant, half of the street became quiet, with the Sumu table as the axis.
