"You kid, I told you to drive well. Why are you driving so fast? You are seeking death. Guangqi, don't be angry. I will definitely teach this kid a lesson when I get back."
When Bai Jinggong saw Liu Guangqi's expression was wrong, he slapped Bai Zhanshan on the head.
He can't afford to offend Liu Guangqi now. At present, Xiangjiang Baicao Hall is counting on Liu Guangqi to save his face. If Liu Guangqi turns around and leaves now, then the Baicao Hall's signboard will be completely destroyed. If you want to get back the face that fell to the ground, no one will do it. There is no need to think about it in eight years.
"Stop the car. If you think I'm not good at driving, come on. If you have the ability, you can drive."
Bai Zhanshan, who had been slapped, immediately stepped on the brakes, then got out of the car, lying in front of Liu Guangqi's car window and glaring provocatively. He didn't look like a rich young man at all, he looked like a street gangster.
"Second uncle, Li Bo, you two come down first."
Liu Guangqi didn't tolerate him and walked directly out of the car.
"Guangqi, please stop messing around. This is Xiangjiang, not the country. You kid, hurry up and apologize to your brother Guangqi."
When Bai Jinggong saw that Liu Guangqi was serious about it, he immediately stopped Liu Guangqi, pressed Bai Zhanshan's head and asked him to apologize to Liu Guangqi.
"I don't know. If you press my head again, I will turn around and leave. Believe it or not."
Bai Zhanshan shouted to Bai Jinggong.
"No, second uncle, you and Li Bo wait for me here for a while."
Seeing Bai Zhanshan's stubbornness, Liu Guangqi didn't talk nonsense to him. He directly grabbed Bai Zhanshan's collar and stuffed him into the car. Then he sat in the driver's seat despite the obstruction of Bai Jinggong and Li Bo. He looked at the unruly Bai Zhanshan and said .
"Boy, don't think that being able to drive is a big deal. You don't drive a car like that. It's not just stepping on the accelerator and shifting into gear. That's what real drag racing is."
After speaking, Liu Guangqi got busy. He turned the steering wheel with one hand, released the clutch with one foot, pulled the handbrake with one hand, and stepped on the accelerator with one foot. The whole process was completed in one go.
Following Liu Guangqi's smooth operation, the 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air he sat on also roared and spun in place like a ferocious beast.
After a few turns, it shot out like a bullet off the string.
"Slow down, slow down"
At first, Bai Zhanshan didn't take Liu Guangqi seriously, after all, he knew these operations. But as Liu Guangqi's speed became faster and faster, Bai Zhanshan's expression became visibly flustered.
"Slow down, there is a sharp turn ahead, stop the car, stop the car, Liu Guangqi, I will throw your mother away, you will rush into the street."
Seeing the sharp turn in front of him getting closer and closer, Liu Guangqi actually didn't let go of the accelerator at all. Bai Zhanshan screamed at the top of his lungs, thinking that he had just turned twenty and would die on the street before he could feel the world. , Bai Zhanshan closed his eyes unwillingly, quietly waiting for death to come.
But he waited for a long time but did not hear the sound of impact. Bai Zhanshan opened his eyes and realized that he had passed the corner just now.
"Press the brakes, apply the brakes, there's a car, ah"
Before Bai Zhanshan could figure out how Liu Guangqi got through the curve just now, the next curve was already in front of him. Not only was this curve sharper than the one just now, but there was also a small car on the curve. The truck is moving.
"It's over, it's over."
Seeing the small truck getting bigger little by little, Bai Zhanshan felt that he was definitely dead this time. Even if he didn't run out of the road, he would hit the small truck. Even if I hit him at such a speed, I wouldn't be able to save him.
Just when Bai Zhanshan accepted his fate, under Liu Guangqi's control, the entire car suddenly turned sideways and crossed the curve in a strange posture. The whole car passed by the pickup truck at a very close distance. Bai Zhanshan could even clearly see the terrified expression of the driver of the pickup truck on the other side.
"He rushed into the street and drove so fast. He was looking for death."
After the two cars passed each other, the minivan suddenly stopped on the side of the road. The driver waited for a long time before he stretched out his head in shock and cursed at Liu Guangqi and the others.
But at this time, Liu Guangqi and the others had already disappeared without a trace.
"Why are you so scared?"
Liu Guangqi looked at the pale Bai Zhanshan through the rearview mirror and mocked. You little brat, you dare to show off your three-legged cat driving skills in front of me. I can't scare you to death. I really think that my title of little drag racing prince was for nothing.
Although Liu Guangqi now drives a right-hand drive car, it has not affected Liu Guangqi's driving skills at all. In his previous life, Liu Guangqi got his first driver's license in Xiangjiang. Compared with left-hand drive cars, Liu Guangqi is more comfortable driving right-hand drive cars. After traveling through time for so long, Liu Guangqi has never had such a good time while driving. Today is quite enjoyable.
Soon Liu Guangqi drove to the end of the mountain road, made a drifting U-turn, and returned to where he came from.
"Guangqi, you scared me to death. This is Xiangjiang, not mainland China. You don't have a driver's license. It will be troublesome if the police catch you."
Seeing that Liu Guangqi was safe and sound and drove the car back, Bai Jinggong finally felt relieved.
"I made you worry, second uncle, I won't do it next time."
Liu Guangqi looked apologetic and Bai Jinggong said sorry. His actions just now were indeed a bit reckless, but he had just been holding back a fire in his heart. If he didn't let it out, he would have to be suffocated to death.
"Holy shit, you're so awesome. Brother Guangqi, how did you do it? Teach me, you must teach me."
Bai Zhanshan came to his senses at this time, ran out of the car, and looked at Liu Guangqi with admiration.
"I want to learn."
"Um"
Bai Zhanshan looked at Liu Guangqi and nodded hurriedly. The driving skills Liu Guangqi showed just now had completely conquered him. He never thought that he could negotiate such a curve. He often ran on this mountain road, but it didn't last more than ten minutes. He couldn't run down, but Liu Guangqi had just finished the entire race in just five minutes, more than twice as fast as him.
If he could learn Liu Guangqi's cornering technique just now, he would definitely be able to defeat his group of buddies. By then, the female classmates at school would not be lining up to sit in his car.
"If you want to learn, just be honest and let's see what you become now. I remember you were quite honest and steady before, but now you have become like a gangster just a few years after you came to Xiangjiang. What if your grandfather If I see it, I will beat you with a cane."
Liu Guangqi looked at Bai Zhanshan and lectured him angrily.
"Yes, yes, I will change, I will definitely change."
Although Bai Zhanshan disdained what Liu Guangqi said in his heart, in order to learn Liu Guangqi's driving skills, Bai Zhanshan still agreed with a smile on his face.
"Well, let's drive"
Liu Guangqi nodded and ordered. When Bai Zhanshan heard this, he immediately got into the driver's seat.
"Guangqi, how did you do it?"
Looking at Bai Zhanshan, who was unruly just now, but now he has become a good boy, Bai Jinggong looked in disbelief. He knew very well the temper of his little son. It was fine when he was in Jinan, but since he came to Xiangjiang This place was influenced by his classmates.
The whole person has become impetuous, and coupled with his wife's doting, sometimes even he, the father, is not looked down upon.
Unexpectedly, after following Liu Guangqi out for a while, he felt like a different person.
"Haha, this kid Zhanshan actually has the same temper as the old man. He only obeys those who are capable. I'm not saying that you are incompetent, but if you want him to obey you, you have to control him in the aspects that interest him. The old man was also uneducated and unskilled back then. His family arranged several errands for him in the government office but he failed to do it. In the end, it was Mr. Tu who calmed him down when he was doing medicine in Anguo, and this led the old man to the right path. ."
】
Liu Guangqi patted Bai Jinggong's arm and said.
"Brother Guangqi is right. Just like my grandfather, I obey those who are better than me. If you have better driving skills than me, I will definitely listen to you."
Bai Zhanshan in the front row said excitedly as if he had met a close friend when he heard Liu Guangqi's words.
"Go away. How old am I? I'm still driving around outside like you. Can I run? Besides, what's the point of driving fast? What's the future? Do you still want to be a car driver in the future? I'm not a good driver. Don't embarrass me."
Bai Jinggong looked at Bai Zhanshan and said angrily.
"Who said that driving fast has no future?"
When Bai Zhanshan heard that his father looked down upon his hobby, he immediately became anxious and argued with Bai Jinggong while scratching his neck.
"Drive your car well. Your dad is right. You can treat driving as a hobby, but it's better to treat it as a career. After all, Xiangjiang is not the United States and does not have such a deep car culture. Do you want this?" If you make a name for yourself in this land, you will probably end up with a lot of blood. Compared with racing, people in this land prefer horse racing. By the time you really make a name for yourself, you will be old and start driving. Stop moving."
Hearing Liu Guangqi's words, Bai Zhanshan immediately became silent.
"Second uncle, tell me about the situation in Xiangjiang, and I'll hear what's going on."
Seeing that Bai Zhanshan stopped talking, Liu Guangqi started chatting with Bai Jinggong.
"The old man must have told you that in fact, it was us who stole food from other people's bowls, that's why we ended up like this. When we came here, the pharmacies in Xiangjiang had basically been divided into areas. Zhang The family is here, and the Li family is over there. But as soon as we came here, the sphere of influence of each family was squeezed. At first, they also secretly caused some trouble, so I asked me to find someone to take it back. "
Although the Bai family has been in Xiangjiang for 55 years, it does not mean that they have no foundation in Xiangjiang. Don't forget that Bai Jiali and her husband's family evacuated to the island, and her parents-in-law are also considered prominent figures on the island.
During this period, the power of the Blue Party in Hong Kong should not be underestimated. Many underworld forces in Hong Kong were inextricably linked to the Blue Party, such as 14k and Sun Ngee Ann. Their leading eldest brothers were basically Blue Party members. The remnants of the party were defeated. With their help, Xiangjiang Baicao Hall naturally did not have to worry about threats from the underworld.
But this time they came from the bright side, and it would be difficult for Baicao Hall to refuse. Once they refused, it would give the impression to outsiders that Baicao Hall was afraid of them and would not even dare to challenge them. If this spread, it would be detrimental to the reputation of Baicao Hall. It is definitely a big blow. Baicao Hall has finally established a foothold in Xiangjiang in the past two years. If the reputation it has finally accumulated is ruined because of this, then the two years of hard work will be in vain.
However, the opponent the other party has chosen is too tough. In Xiangjiang, there is no doctor with a higher reputation than the doctor the opponent hired. If he loses, the consequences will be no better than if he should fight. It can be said that this is A conspiracy. There is no other way but to defeat the opponent in an upright manner.
"Guangqi, are you sure?"
After Bai Jinggong told Liu Guangqi the situation, he asked with some worry. He had also heard about Liu Guangqi's medical skills. He had made such a famous name in BJ City at a young age, but the other party was not easy to compete with. He had become famous. Long time and experienced.
"Don't worry. Second uncle, although I don't dare to guarantee it, I'm still 70% sure."
Although the other party is experienced, Liu Guangqi is not a vegetarian.
"That's good. Actually, you don't have to win. As long as you can tie, it will be good. The other party is also a respected senior in Xinglin. I agreed to those people this time because one of them once saved the old gentleman's son. The old gentleman owes They had no choice but to act as a favor."
Hearing that Liu Guangqi was 70% sure, Bai Jinggong was relieved and told Liu Guangqi that a draw would actually be beneficial to both parties. That is to say, the face of both parties can be saved to the maximum extent, and enmity can also be avoided.
"I understand what you said. But I think you still have to find a way to solve this problem once and for all. After all, you can only commit thieves for a thousand days, and there is no way to prevent thieves for a thousand days. If they open like this every other time, Baicao The hall can’t stand such trouble. I can’t come back to help you out all the time.”
"I know it too, but what can I do? I'm not the roundworm in their stomachs, how can I know what they think."
Bai Jinggong said with a grimace.
"well"
Seeing that Bai Jinggong was not enlightened, Liu Guangqi sighed in his heart. It seemed that the second son of the Bai family really had no choice but to keep his career, whether it was Bai Yingxuan or Bai Jinggong.
"Guangqi, do you have any ideas? Tell me and listen."
Bai Jinggong was smiling bitterly when he suddenly saw Liu Guangqi looking like he had something to say. He also thought that Liu Guangqi had always been very smart. Even the golden cicada in Baicao Hall was his idea. Bai Jinggong immediately guessed that Liu Guangqi must have a solution to the problem.
Bai Jinggong's guess was correct. Liu Guangqi had already helped Bai Jinggong think of a solution on the way here.
"It's actually very simple to get a handle on these pharmacies. Let me ask you, where do all the Chinese herbal medicines from these pharmacies come from?"
"Most of them come from the mainland, and some are shipped from Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, but"
"You mean to let me control the channels through which they purchase goods from the source. If they can't purchase goods, they can only come to us and beg us obediently."
Bai Jinggong was not stupid. After Liu Guangqi's advice, he immediately understood the key to handling these pharmacies.
"That's right, as long as you become the general distributor of medicinal materials in the Xiangjiang area, you won't have to worry about them not bowing their heads. Even if they purchase from Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, they will never be able to compare with us in terms of quality and cost."
"Awesome, no wonder the old man always praises you."
Bai Jinggong didn't expect that the problem that had troubled him for so many days would be solved so easily by Liu Guangqi. He gave Liu Guangqi a thumbs up in admiration.
Not only him, but also Bai Zhanshan who drove the car admired him greatly. Although he was rebellious, he also understood the situation faced by his family. After all, his father had been looking sad every day for the past few days, and he couldn't even see it.
I have been worrying about something for so many days, and Liu Guangqi actually came up with a solution so quickly. It's really awesome. Thinking that he had dared to argue with him just now, Bai Zhanshan couldn't help but shrink his neck.
After the two chatted about business, the car also took the ferry to Xiangjiang Island. The Bai family's residence in Xiangjiang is at No. 101 Kennedy Terrace. Many celebrities live in this place, the most famous of which is Shanghai beach tycoon Du Yuesheng.
After landing, the car arrived at a single-family villa within a few minutes of driving. Seeing the car approaching, the concierge immediately opened the courtyard door.
As soon as the car stopped, the people in the room came out. Most of the people in charge of the three heads of the Bai family in Xiangjiang were there. After Liu Guangqi had a meal at Bai Jinggong's place, he was sent to Xinghua Society, and together Of course, there is also Li Bo who followed Liu Guangqi around the capitalist world.
"How do you feel, Li Bo?"
After getting off the car, Liu Guangqi looked at Li Bo and asked.
"It's so corrupt. A few people actually ate so much food. If it were stored in China, it would be enough for a family to eat for a week. These capitalists are really hateful."
Recalling his experience this afternoon, Li Bo gritted his teeth and said. He has never seen so many dishes on one table since he was a child.
"Just get used to it. If you work here, you will probably see this kind of scene often in the future."
Seeing Li Bo's angry look, Liu Guangqi patted him on the shoulder. Then he raised his head and looked at the building in front of him.
The current Heung Kong Hing Wah Club is not as solemn as it will be in the future. It has not moved to the future Lido Hotel. It is still crowded in a building on Nathan Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.
Liu Guangqi and Li Bo followed the instructions and came to the third floor. After learning that one of them was a new employee and the other was a comrade who came to Xiangjiang on a business trip, they were immediately warmly welcomed.
However, it was difficult to arrange accommodation for the two of them. Liu Guangqi thought that in a situation like his, he must live with the employees of the company. Is it convenient to 'manage', but the reality is that the employees' dormitory has already been occupied. Man, there is no place for Liu Guangqi to live.
"How about you stay at my place, Guangqi, and I'll stay in the basement for two days first."
"No, I think there is a hotel next door to us. I can just stay there."
To be honest, Liu Guangqi really wanted to live outside. He finally came to Xiangjiang. If he couldn't sneak out to play, wouldn't it be in vain?
"Isn't this bad?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. That's it. I don't have to spend the country's money. I have my own money."
Finally, at Liu Guangqi's strong request, Liu Guangqi successfully checked into the hotel next door.
