Fang Lang accepted the gratitude of the food stall owner and his wife as a matter of course, waved his hands indifferently, and turned around to leave.
When the others saw that Fang Lang and others were leaving, they followed behind to see them off. As for the 14K Cai Jiabing, he could only watch everyone leave from a distance. He was just a gangster, what qualifications did he have to contact such a big shot.
Moreover, after all, he is the culprit of today's incident. What he should be thinking about now is not how to associate with a big shot like Fang Lang, but how to save his own life.
Fang Lang would not treat him differently because of his former military status, because everyone chooses their own path. If Cai Jiabing was not a gangster, Fang Lang would definitely reach out to give him a hand, but since If he chooses to join a gang, there's not much to say about that.
As Fang Lang and others left Stanley Street and returned to the car parked at the intersection, the soldiers of the entire security company also began to evacuate. Several sniper teams hidden on the rooftops of surrounding residents also brought their own equipment. Returned to their ranks quickly and orderly.
When Nottingham Jones, Yao Mu and others saw these people, their eyes froze. People who had just experienced World War II certainly knew very well who these gunmen were hiding in the dark. It seemed that they and others had been here just now. Under sniper surveillance.
Fortunately, I and others didn't do anything excessive, otherwise I might have lost my life here today.
However, when John Zeng saw these snipers coming out, there was a look of certainty on his face. It seemed that when he first walked into Stanley Street alone, these gunmen were monitoring his every move in a hidden corner. ah!
Under the watch of a group of police officers and gangsters, Fang Lang and others left this food stall street that had just emerged in the port city. Although, the things here had already passed. However, a legendary story of a Chinese gangster remains on Stanley Street in the future.
"Rinehardt, do you know who John Tsang is?"
On the way back, Fang Lang looked at Reinhardt and asked.
"I don't understand!"
"Then why did you recommend him to serve as Grantham's security? Don't you know the risks of such a thing?"
Upon hearing this, Reinhardt turned his head to look at Fang Lang, patted his thigh and said:
"Don't worry, I just took a fancy to the opponent's courage. As for whether he can be selected, it depends on his own efforts. I just provided him with such an opportunity.
If he really has a problem, he can't really become Grantham's security guard. You have to understand that MI6 is not a vegetarian. "
This kind of political review of security personnel is very strict. Fang Lang knows this very well, but he knows that if there is any problem with John Zeng's background, Reinhardt will definitely be affected.
As his good friend, he didn't want to see this.
Although John Tseng is Chinese and Reinhardt is British, he and John Tsang are not familiar with each other, and he is not willing to take risks for a Chinese he is not familiar with. This is human nature.
"You are not familiar with him! This is not the Reinhardt I remember."
Hearing this, Reinhardt met Fang Lang's gaze, smiled slightly and said:
"I admire this brave young man very much, and the Hong Kong police need more young people like this.
Didn't you say that because he is Chinese, he has no further opportunities in the Hong Kong Police Force? Now I want to try to see if I can change this situation. "
Fang Lang didn't expect Reinhardt to have this reason, so he couldn't help but look at him deeply. Perhaps in his eyes, he hopes that the Hong Kong City Police Department can have more brave young police officers like John Tsang.
Only in this way can the future security of the Hong Kong city be further improved and the rule of the British Hong Kong government more stable.
But Fang Lang felt that this was also a good thing for him. If John Zeng could really join Grantham's guard team, when he came out, his future in the police force would be limitless.
Then there might be a Chinese senior officer at the top of the police force in the future, which would be a great thing for the entire Chinese community.
Regardless of John Tsang's political stance, even if he is a banana man with yellow skin and a white heart, it cannot change the fact that he is Chinese.
As long as they are Chinese, even if a promotion path is opened for other Chinese, there will always be Chinese police officers who are willing to serve the interests of the Chinese to reach the top in the future.
This is a situation that Fang Lang is very willing to see, and of course he will not stop it from happening.
"Okay! As long as you like it!"
Fang Lang, who wanted to understand all this, smiled and shrugged with an indifferent expression. Reinhardt just smiled and said nothing more.
Soon, the convoy returned to the Admiralty Naval Base in the dark. It's not that Fang Lang doesn't want to check into the Peninsula Hotel right away, it's just that it's too late now and no one has their luggage and equipment with them.
And the naval base as the host did squeeze out a rare room for them. If he didn't stay for one night, it would affect the image of the Brazilian Navy.
What's more, the Admiralty area where Fang Lang and the others are located and the Tsim Sha Tsui area where the Peninsula Hotel is located are not on the same island. They are across the sea. People need to take the Star Ferry across the sea to get there.
Of course, their navy does not need to take civilian ships, so early the next morning, Fang Lang, accompanied by Reinhardt, took a transportation boat directly to the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon District.
At this time, the Peninsula Hotel had not yet built the 30-story wing in the north. It was a seven-story building distributed in an H shape. It looked majestic and calm from the outside, but when you walked into the hotel, it revealed a luxurious and aristocratic temperament. .
Even someone like Fang Lang, who has seen a lot of great things in the world in later generations, felt a luxurious and elegant atmosphere that made people feel happy when he walked into the hotel lobby.
After just one glance, Fang Lang decided to live here during this period.
Then Fang Lang rented several suites at the Peninsula Hotel and planned to stay here permanently, and Reinhardt also requested that a room be reserved for him.
After settling down, Fang Lang asked people to announce the location where he was staying, and then a steady stream of people began to visit him.
The first was Hong Kong City's Police Commissioner Mai Jingtao. On the day Fang Lang settled in the Peninsula Hotel, he brought the Commissioner of the Central Police Station and Nottingham Jones to visit Fang Lang's hotel.
During the entire visit, neither party mentioned what happened in Central last night, as if the matter did not exist. If it weren't for the few gifts that Nottingham Jones left behind before leaving, Fang Lang would have thought that the Police Commissioner, Mr. McIntosh, had no idea what happened last night.
Later, Fang Lang read about what happened on Stanley Street last night from a local tabloid.
According to newspaper reports, a violent physical conflict broke out last night after a group of drunken men got into an argument at a food stall.
During the conflict, someone suddenly took out a pistol and shot one person, causing casualties. Fortunately, the police arrived in time and prevented a greater tragedy from happening.
All the people involved in the fight at the scene have been detained by the police. The criminal who shot and killed was also captured by the police at the scene. There are witnesses and evidence at the scene of the shooting. The suspect also confessed to his crime. He is just waiting for the police to bring it to court. criminal proceedings, the case can be formally concluded.
Seeing this, Fang Lang couldn't help but smile and shake his head. It seemed that the Hong Kong police were very fast at covering the lid!
Of course, these have nothing to do with Fang Lang. He was busy receiving the various persons in charge of Fangyuan Group and Universal Group's Hong Kong branch.
When the boss comes to Hong Kong City, the heads of each branch must take the initiative to make detailed reports on the development of the group company in Hong Kong City. Of course, reporting is only one purpose, the more important thing is to show your face in front of the boss.
Then, Bai Cunbao, the master of Hongmen Dasheng Hall in Hong Kong City, came to visit with heavy gifts. During Bai Cunbao's visit, he met another unexpected visitor, Inspector General Hua Yao Mu.
The two of them were both prominent figures in the Hong Kong city, so it was natural for them to say hello and chat for a few words when they met here. During this conversation, Yao Mu realized that he had underestimated Mr. Fang's strength.
Looking at the few gifts I specially selected, I felt a little overwhelmed. However, now that they are here, he can only bite the bullet and deliver them first, and then slowly deliver the rest after the other party's museum is built.
Finally, many companies that have close cooperative relationships with Fangyuan Group and Universal Group sent people to the hotel to visit Fang Lang. The most influential among them are naturally the heads of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family in Port City.
Originally, the Peninsula Hotel thought it was just a visiting Brazilian major general who was staying, and did not pay special attention to it. However, as various big names continued to visit for a week, the managers of the Peninsula Hotel had to improve the service level in Fang Lang's area. .
Not long after the service level of the Peninsula Hotel was improved, news was received that the Governor of Hong Kong wanted to dine with this guest at the Peninsula Hotel. The hotel manager was so frightened that he quickly reported the situation to the Kadoorie family, hoping that the big boss would not because of him. Negligence causes trouble for oneself.
In fact, Fang Lang didn't feel that the Peninsula Hotel's service was inadequate, because he didn't need the Peninsula Hotel's services at all. The area where he lived had long been controlled by his own security personnel, and the service staff had to enter if they wanted to. After layers of inspections.
In terms of food, the whole process is under my own control. Except for occasionally borrowing the hotel's restaurant to eat with my own guests, there is nothing that requires the services of the Peninsula Hotel.
The Peninsula Hotel’s Jialin Building is the most authentic place for Cantonese cuisine in the entire Hong Kong city. If you want to eat here, you need to make a reservation a week in advance, but whether you can get a reservation depends on whether you have such ability.
It was such a difficult restaurant to book, but all the reservations were turned down in advance that day. All the guests who received the hotel's phone calls did not dare to have any objections.
Because the person the reserved restaurant is hosting today is the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. Grantham.
"Mr. Governor, nice to see you again!"
Fang Lang shook hands cordially with the invited Hong Kong Governor Grantham at the gate of the Peninsula Hotel. This was a private dinner and no other government officials were involved.
Therefore, Hong Kong Governor Grantham can be regarded as traveling in a simple car, with only a few bodyguards, secretaries and others.
"Haha... General Fang is so polite! I'm also very happy to see General Fang again. I heard that General Fang's place has been busy and lively in the past few days!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang just smiled and extended his hand to guide him into the restaurant inside to chat slowly!
"Mr. Governor, what a joke! This period of time is indeed full of mundane affairs. Even the normal work of the fleet can only be left to the people under his command."
With that said, he and Grantham walked slowly inside.
As a for-profit public place, the Peninsula Hotel naturally has many other guests. Now, due to the special status of the Hong Kong Governor, some controls have been implemented on the site, and the two of them were embarrassed to stay at the site too much. Therefore, they all walked to the reserved restaurant very consciously.
Most of the guests at the Peninsula Hotel are rich or noble, and many of them have even met the Governor before, but obviously not many people can invite the Governor to a private dinner alone. Therefore, everyone was very shocked when they saw the arrival of the Hong Kong Governor.
Many people even greeted Grantham from afar through the guards. Grantham also walked inside with Fang Lang while politely nodding to the crowd around him.
All the wealthy people around were full of curiosity about Fang Lang's identity at this moment, wondering what kind of identity this young man had that could actually invite Mr. Governor to a private banquet.
But the feelings of these people are obviously not what Fang Lang cares about.
After entering Jialin Tower, Fang Lang and Grantham sat at the dining table that had been prepared for a long time. Because Fang Lang was booking the venue today, there were no other guests present.
"Your Majesty the Governor, I am glad that you can accept my invitation! Please sit down!"
Hearing this, Grantham was not polite, nodded politely to the waiter beside him, and sat down opposite Fang Lang with the help of the waiter.
"Haha... General Fang, you have hidden deep enough. If it weren't for your movements in Hong Kong City in the past two days, I would not have thought that you are the boss of the American Universal Group."
Grantham, who had just sat down, was arranging the napkin in front of him and spoke directly.
Looking at the other party's thoughtful eyes, Fang Lang smiled and said with a careless smile:
"Your Majesty the Governor is joking. I have never hidden my identity from the outside world. It's just that I am busy with military affairs and do not have much time to participate in business matters.
These matters are handled by the hired professional managers. I am just grasping the general direction. The company's achievements today are all due to them. "
Fang Lang's calm attitude made Grantham look sideways. If he really believed what Fang Lang said, he would be a fool. With so many companies employing professional managers to manage, why is it that only his Global Group can achieve today's achievements?
"You Chinese are just too modest, which is bad. People who don't know you can easily believe it."
Seeing Grantham's expression of rolling his eyes, Fang Lang laughed and reached out to the waiter waiting not far away to indicate that the food was ready to be served.
After receiving a positive reply from the other party, he turned to look at Grantham and smiled:
"But the Governor obviously doesn't believe it!"
Hearing this, Grantham was stunned for a moment, and then quickly burst into laughter.
"Haha... General Fang is such an interesting person!"
After laughing, he picked up the tea on the table and took a sip. He looked at Fang Lang and said with a searching look on his face:
"I heard that General Fang intends to open a private museum in Hong Kong City?"
