When Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu heard that Fang Lang wanted to leave the scene to them, they went back to rest. I was immediately overjoyed, knowing that I had passed this level.
Next, as long as the other party doesn't regret it and tells the situation here, they can easily cover up the big crisis that may be a thunderstorm.
But at the same time, after the brief exchange between several people just now, the two of them felt a little reluctant to miss the obvious thighs of the two people in front of them.
Yao Mu knew very well that having the opportunity to meet such a big Chinese figure was a rare opportunity for him.
Although he, Inspector Zong Hua, seemed very majestic in Hong Kong City, in the upper class society of Hong Kong City, or after leaving the small place of Hong Kong City, he was simply a small character worth mentioning.
Therefore, of course he did not want to miss such a good opportunity, so he quickly stood up and said:
"Mr. Fang, I don't know where you live. What time will be more appropriate for me to send the gift to you tomorrow?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Lang remembered that it seemed inappropriate to live in a naval base now, but he didn't want his secretly prepared residence to be discovered.
It seems that he will arrange a place of his own this month. Unfortunately, he is not familiar with Hong Kong City, so he can only smile and say:
"I have just arrived in Hong Kong City. I am currently living in the Admiralty Naval Base and do not have my own private residence. If Mr. Yao has a suitable place, he can help introduce it."
Hearing this, Yao Mu felt even more determined, knowing that the person in front of him was definitely a real big guy. Because the Admiralty Naval Base is the territory of the British Navy, not just any random person can enter, let alone live directly there.
But because this is an important naval base, a Chinese police detective like him is not qualified to go in, so how can he hug this thick leg that he finally found!
Now that the other party asked him if he had any good private residence recommendations, he immediately made a move in his mind. Should he invite the other party to the new home he just bought?
But before Yao Mu could say anything, Nottingham Jones on the side had already spoken first.
"Mr. Fang, the naval base is not a place where we can enter and exit casually. If you need to make a short stay in the port city, I can help you get a room at the Peninsula Hotel. It will be more convenient for you to have any private entertainment."
When he heard the name Peninsula Hotel, Fang Lang couldn't help but be startled. It wasn't that he had never heard of it, but that he had heard it so much that his ears were about to get calloused. This is the most famous hotel in later Hong Kong movies!
It is precisely because of his great reputation that he is relatively far away from ordinary people. Fang Lang never had the opportunity to interact with him in his previous life.
Now that he heard Nottingham Jones's recommendation, he realized that during this period, this hotel, which would become famous in later generations, had already been established. Feeling a little novel for a moment, he couldn't help blurting out:
"Oh! Has the Peninsula Hotel been established at this time?"
He regretted it as soon as he said it. This would not reveal his identity as a time traveler!
After Nottingham Jones heard his words, he seemed to have misunderstood something and said quickly:
"Yes, the hotel has been reopened a long time ago! Although it was occupied by the Japanese during World War II and served as a command center, it did not suffer much damage during the war.
After the war, it returned to the hands of the Kadoorie family and has now resumed normal operations. "
When Fang Lang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that this hotel was also used by the Japanese as a command center.
Anyway, I really need a place to live in Hong Kong City, so I might as well experience this famous Peninsula Hotel in later generations.
Just as he was about to nod in agreement, Reinhardt heard from the side and asked:
"Which family is this Kadoorie family? Why haven't I heard of it?"
Nottingham Jones and Yao Mu were stunned when they heard this, what do you mean? You have never heard of such a famous family. Are you really British? They couldn't help but cast doubtful glances at Reinhardt.
Fang Lang, on the other hand, laughed and said:
"Haha... Reinhardt, your family's power is mainly in the UK, so it's normal for you not to know the situation in Asia.
If I guessed correctly, this family should be a family that developed in the Far East. You should know the specific situation by asking the Hong Kong Governor. If you are interested, you can make friends with him! "
Nottingham Jones on the side also quickly reacted and quickly explained:
"Yes, sir, the Kadoorie family is an Anglo-Jewish family originally from Iraq. They first made their fortune in Shanghai, China, and later moved to Hong Kong. Their main business is power plants, trade and finance, hotel.
During World War II, most of their family's properties were occupied by the Japanese, and the power plants of the China Electric Power Company were also blown up by them. Family members were imprisoned in concentration camps by the Japanese.
After the war, with the efforts of Mr. Rowlands Kadoorie, their family's industry also recovered rapidly, the power plant was rebuilt, and the Peninsula Hotel was renovated and opened to the public.
They are a very famous Jewish family in the port city, but in the UK, many people may not have heard of their names. "
Hearing this, Reinhardt just curled his lips in disdain and said casually:
"Oh! It turns out he's a country bumpkin from Iraq. That's okay. There's no need to make friends."
The full arrogance and disdain can be felt without even listening to his words.
When Fang Lang heard this, he raised his forehead for a while. This guy really had his true nature. Although he behaved quite normally when interacting with him, his attitude towards other people really showed the arrogance of the British.
No wonder he was discriminating against himself in the first place. This was a complete discrimination against everyone except the British nobles! If he hadn't saved his life and helped him cover up his experience of surrender, this guy might not even look at him seriously.
But in the process of interacting with him, he still behaved like a friend. Forget it, just be arrogant! As long as you don't bully yourself, you won't bother to care.
Nottingham Jones on the side felt shocked when he saw Reinhardt's reaction. It seemed that the identity of this young naval lieutenant colonel was not just a simple British noble!
Although there are still many aristocrats in the UK, most of their families have declined. Therefore, although many people still hold the title of aristocrat, they actually do not live a noble life.
For a guy to behave like Reinhardt, it means that the family behind this guy is not among the families that have declined.
Such families often have extraordinary status and influence in their ancestral home. This made Nottingham Jones's eyes start to sparkle when he looked at Reinhardt.
Fortunately, he had lived in Hong Kong Island for many years and knew that the Kadoorie family was not something he could mess with, so he barely suppressed the urge to belittle the Kadoorie family and flatter them.
Fang Lang didn't want Reinhardt to offend the unfamiliar Kadoorie family too much here, so he took the initiative and said:
"Okay, okay, since you, Master Henderson, don't want to make friends with him, forget it.
However, I will stay in Hong Kong City for a month this time. Your naval base is already overcrowded. I live in the naval base. Many officers and soldiers of our fleet will continue to be crowded on the warships. It is better to go directly to the Peninsula Hotel. Move some of our navy officers and soldiers to several rooms.
It also gives us officers and soldiers who have just gone through a long sea voyage a chance to rest on land. "
If it had just started, Reinhardt, who was always ready to deal with conflicts between China and Britain, might have had to dissuade Fang Lang from straying too far from his warship. But now after several communications with Fang Lang, he also believed Fang Lang's judgment that it was impossible for China and Britain to fight in Hong Kong City.
It is a waste of time and energy to continue to stay on the warship to prepare for war. It's better to relax and have some fun in Hong Kong City.
You must know that as a naval lieutenant colonel, he has been in Hong Kong City for a long time, but most of his time is in the military camp, and there are not many opportunities to get in touch with the prosperity of Hong Kong City.
Now, why not take advantage of the fact that your good brother Fang Lang is also in Hong Kong City, and you can have some fun in Hong Kong City together in the name of applying to accompany friendly troops!
"If that's the case, then I'll stay at the Peninsula Hotel with you!"
Fang Lang was stunned when he heard this, what's wrong with you kid? I have some business to do in Hong Kong City! If you stay with me all day long, how can I act in private?
"Isn't your navy in a state of preparation for war? Why are you running out to accompany me at this time? Then be careful that your navy commander will stab you directly to your father."
"Don't be afraid. My father won't blame me if he knows I'm with you. Besides, I have a very harmonious relationship with my superior, and he won't tell me a snitch."
Reinhardt shrugged indifferently, which made Fang Lang have a headache. He thought to himself, you are not a girl, why are you following me every day?
Nottingham Jones, who was listening to the exchange between the two, began to wonder in his heart, what kind of big shot would the father of this naval lieutenant colonel be? The commander of the naval base stationed in Hong Kong has nothing to do with him.
The young master of the Henderson family, among the upper echelons of the British Navy, is there any big shot named Henderson? Soon a name appeared in Nottingham Jones's mind.
After thinking of this possibility, Nottingham Jones looked at Reinhardt with little stars no longer in his eyes, he simply saw light.
No wonder the other party looks down on the Kadoorie family. If I were born into such a family, I would look down on the other party too! At the same time, Fang Lang's identity became even more curious. The person who could make Reinhardt's father not blame him must be someone who was no less generous than their family!
Thinking of this, he quickly said to Reinhardt:
"It doesn't matter. I can open a fixed suite for you at the Peninsula Hotel. You can stay there whenever you want. If called by the commander of the navy stationed in Hong Kong, you can return to the naval base to work at any time."
Hearing this, Reinhardt turned his head and glanced at this guy, waved his hand with disdain and said:
"I'm staying in a hotel, so why don't you open a room for me? Can't I afford it?"
Nottingham Jones, who originally wanted to please Reinhardt, choked and almost spit out blood, but he also understood that he didn't want to give him a chance to give favors to someone like the little ancestor opposite him.
After thinking about it, he quickly said:
"You are joking! With your status, it is not a problem to buy the entire Peninsula Hotel, how can you not afford to live in it?
Isn't this what happened today? Thanks to your help, Mr. Fang agreed not to hold us accountable? I want to express my gratitude to you both emotionally and rationally, is that right? "
As a superintendent of a police station, Nottingham Jones's salary is not low, but it is almost impossible to be able to book a room at the Peninsula Hotel for a long time.
The reason why he dared to speak like this shows that he, a policeman, must also have extra income.
Fang Lang naturally knew what the situation of these Hong Kong police officers was like. If he really brought his subordinates to stay in the hotel, he might have to rent the next floor. With this guy's ability, it would be impossible to pay. Affordable.
Moreover, he did not need to ask the other party to pay for his hotel stay, so he stood up and patted Nottingham Jones on the shoulder and said:
"Officer Jones, we accept your offer. But we don't need you to pay for us to book a hotel room.
However, I still thank you for your proposal. We will go to the Peninsula Hotel to get a room tomorrow. Someone will notify you of the address then.
It's too late today, so we'll leave first! "
After speaking, he did not forget to wave to Reinhardt, signaling him to leave.
