Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang did not look much, but walked out of the station exit together with the flow of people coming off the train. Arrive at the station square.
There are a lot of taxis here. No doubt, the taxi industry has been around for a long time. For example, in Shanghai, the most representative city, there are nearly 20,000 taxis in the concession alone. Unexpected?
Harbin is also an extremely important city in the northern region, and there are not many taxis in it. Of course, it definitely cannot be compared with future generations. Moreover, the little devils are too scarce in supplies these days, so fuel is an important military resource. Therefore, there are taxis, but there are very few companies that can obtain operating qualifications. Because oil prices are high.
This means that taxis in this era cannot roam the streets to attract customers like later generations. Instead, they wait for guests at several important locations, such as train stations, some relatively prosperous streets, or some very high-end hotels or hotels.
After Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang got out of the train station, they got into one of the taxis and said "Central Street." Started to squirm in the back seat.
Of course, this Niwai is different from Fan Keqin and Lu Xiaoya's Niwai method. It's a verbal nuisance. Fan Keqin transformed into a man who wanted to win the favor of his girlfriend, as if to show off his erudition and knowledge. When passing by a certain place, introduce it to Hua Zhang. Disguise yourself as "Harbin Tong".
Central Street is not too far from the train station, and there are few cars on the road these days, so there are basically no traffic jams except for traffic lights. So very quickly, the car had arrived at the intersection on the Central Street side.
After paying the money, the two people got out of the car and walked all the way inside. You know, the whole street of Central Street is still very prosperous. The buildings on both sides are basically all Russian, French or German European styles, which are relatively trendy. There are restaurants, custom-made clothing, and relatively large shopping malls, all next to each other. Because there are people coming and going here, there are a lot of pedestrians.
Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang, who were strolling around, did not walk so fast, but blended into the crowd. After all, the speed of shopping is much slower than the speed of normal walking. So it took more than half an hour to walk about three-fifths of the way from one end of the street to the street entrance on the other side of the river.
Because they have arrived at the destination of their trip, namely: Madill Hotel. The quality of this hotel is still very high-end. There are three floors in total. The first floor is a hotel, and the second floor contains conference rooms, banquet halls, private rooms, etc., and nearly half of the space is guest rooms. The third floor is basically all guest rooms.
And there are other spaces on the first floor of the Madir Hotel. For example, the north side is connected to another restaurant through a lobby, which is in turn connected to a dance hall, and further north is a cold drink hall. The east side of the reception room is connected to a theater after passing through the main stair hall.
The decoration inside can be described as magnificent. After it was completed and opened, it has been bustling with people and business is booming. It is definitely second to none in this year.
But later, after the Japs invaded, the Madil Restaurant was destroyed by the Japanese puppets, so the current Madil Hotel is no longer as magnificent as it once was. Of course, in this day and age, it is still very high-end.
In order to achieve the purpose of domination, the little devil gradually learned to show some hypocrisy. Therefore, although the Madill Hotel has declined a lot from its original state, it still exists.
After Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang entered the hotel, they first paid directly at the front desk and opened a high-end suite. Then he asked the waiter inside to send his and her luggage up first. Fan Keqin himself came to the restaurant with Hua Zhang. Ordered some food and started eating and drinking.
They were busy traveling all the way. Although they also ate and drank, they really didn't eat well. Now that we have reached our destination, we can naturally enjoy a good meal.
Appetizers of pickled cucumbers, butter chicken rolls, Moscow sausages, Ukrainian sauerkraut soup, Kazakh tenderloin steak, Siberian braised meat cubes,
A few traditional Russian dishes to order. Anyway, the two of them are not short of money. If it weren't for the fear of not being able to eat, Fan Keqin would have ordered a very expensive roast suckling pig.
After an elegant feast, everything on the table was cleared away. In fact, even though there seems to be a lot of food, the more you eat in a high-end place, the less food there is. After finishing the last bit of food, the two of them felt almost full.
Following Fan Keqin, he ordered another Madir sorbet as a dessert after the meal. The two of them were talking and laughing, as if they were a truly affectionate couple, finishing the sorbet in one bite.
Then, hand in hand, they came to the third floor, Suite No. 308, and entered it.
As soon as the door was closed, Fan Keqin and his two men immediately changed their expressions and began to conduct separate inspections.
This room is relatively large, with a living room in the front and a relatively large bathroom on the left. There is also a small study room on the right side of the square hall. After passing through the study room, you can reach the bedroom. There is also a slightly smaller bathroom in the bedroom.
There were a lot of furnishings inside, so in the end, it took Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang almost twenty minutes to check the room. Make sure no one has done anything to the house.
This is also a normal situation. After all, Fan Keqin and Hua Zhang are coming to Harbin and they decide where to stay on the road. That is, completely random. So naturally, the likelihood of something going wrong in the place they're going to live becomes very low.
In the wine cabinet in the living room, Fan Keqin looked at the bottles of wine inside, took out one bottle and poured two glasses each. Got it into the study room.
After handing Hua Zhang a glass, Fan Keqin lit a cigar, then took a sip of the drink and said, "It's finally here. I won't do anything today. Let's have a good night's rest."
"Okay." Hua Zhang also took a sip of the wine, but he didn't seem to like the taste very much, so he frowned and said, "I'll collect some information tomorrow. The brothers who are active here came a lot earlier than the two of us. God, they should have found out the general situation."
"Yes." Fan Keqin said: "This time, we still have to take a steady step step by step. We first collect general information, and then find key targets from it."
