"Master Zhuang."
"Here's to you."
"Thank you for your support of the villagers."
Inside the Lu family's ancestral hall.
The boss of the Lions team was holding a wine glass in both hands, and the eight Lions team members stood in a row behind him, all holding a wine glass and smiling.
The boss of the Lions team bent down to toast and lowered the rim of his glass. Sir Zhuang was sitting at the main table with a slight smile, raising his glass and clinking it with him.
"Hey." The boss of the Lion Team quickly drank the wine glass in one gulp, and the rest of the Lion Team members also raised their glasses to drink. Sir Zhuang took a small sip of wine, put down the wine glass, and cast a wink at Ami.
"Take these." Amy opened her white leather bag and took out a stack of 10,000-yuan red envelopes that she had prepared.
"Thank you, madam." The boss of the Lion Team didn't dare to look at Ami. He quickly put away the red envelope and said thank you. Immediately, the members of the Lion Team standing behind him also thanked him: "Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Mr. Zhuang."
Zhuang Shikai nodded, then continued to pick up his chopsticks to eat and chat with Lu Hantao. Amei smiled and waved her hands to them, saying no need to thank her and said nothing more to them.
There was only one space left for them to stand at the main table, and a group of people could only line up in a row. If Zhuang Shikai hadn't started to appreciate them today, they wouldn't even be qualified to approach the main table.
A good lion dance can get you close to noble people!
But there are no other opportunities, and this is the end of the story.
After the lion dance, the flowing water banquet was opened in Lu's ancestral hall. Those who can sit close to the ancestral hall are people of certain status or close relatives. Those who can sit at the main table are Lu Hantao and other prominent village chiefs in the villages in the New Territories.
They were all holding Sir Zhuang in their hands, and no one else even had the chance to come forward to toast. The lion dance team was already envied by everyone for being able to talk to Sir Zhuang.
The boss of the lion dance knew the rules of the world very well. After receiving the red envelope, he led the brothers away from the main table without saying a word. Go back to their place and sit down, and then distribute the red envelopes to the brothers.
There is a kind of wisdom in the world called self-knowledge.
Villagers may not necessarily understand the law, but they often know the rules.
Know not to make unrealistic delusions.
"Brother Quan, Brother Fu, Yong Yu, let's go and have a drink with Mr. Zhuang, too?" At this time, at a table in the corner of the ancestral hall, seven or eight big boys in their fifteenth or sixteenth year were sitting on chairs. One of them looked silly. The silly kid raised his glass and shouted eagerly.
These children are all direct descendants of the Lu family, including Lu Hantao's daughter and the children of Lu Hantao's brothers, named Lu Yongyu, Lu Yongfu, Lu Yongquan, etc...
They are all cousins and the next generation of the Lu family.
These young men came from a good background and were born with a higher status than many Lu family members. They could sit directly in the ancestral hall without having to have a banquet outside the door.
They have formed a small circle invisibly.
Encouraged by Lu Jianbo, the boys all held wine glasses and shouted: "Okay, okay!"
"Let's go have a toast to Mr. Zhuang."
"I heard that Mr. Zhuang was so powerful when he was young. He knocked down eight streets in Causeway Bay with a baton! He is known as the leader of Causeway Bay! He is much more powerful than the current leader, Handsome Nan!"
"Let's go ask him how he plays with the stick! Say hello and then go back to school to chat with your classmates!"
The boys talked more and more enthusiastically, and stood up while holding wine glasses and shouting.
Moreover, their thinking is very out-of-the-box. Their main purpose is not to establish a relationship with Sir Zhuang, but to collect gossip materials among their classmates.
At this time, Lu Jinqiang, as the boss, was sitting in his seat. He immediately reached out and grabbed Lu Jianbo's wrist, frowned and shouted to his younger brothers: "Don't go!"
Lu Jianbo and others looked back at the boss.
Lu Jinqiang said solemnly: "Don't hinder uncle and Mr. Zhuang from chatting! Don't you look at who is sitting at the main table?"
"Be careful of being beaten by uncle!"
Lu Jinqiang is the oldest and the most sensible. He was a big shot among the younger generation, and he reached out to grab a few of the younger guys, but the younger guys didn't even dare to refuse. What's more, they were immediately frightened when they heard the word "uncle".
So they all finally sat down and ate obediently. Zhuang Sir did not notice them at all, but they often glanced in Zhuang Sir's direction, their eyes full of yearning.
One of the young people who was not qualified to enter the ancestral hall yearned for it the most.
However, he knew how to lie down at the ancestral hall gate and shout "Yongyu" to catch dragonflies.
What a great move!
After Zhuang Shikai finished the banquet, he took A Mei and left the Lu family early without waiting for the banquet to end.
During the New Year period, he not only went to Lu's countryside, but also to Kowloon and outlying islands. However, his activities in the countryside only lasted until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, he took a boat across the sea and went to Baodao to live temporarily.
In addition to staying with "Rose" tenderly, he also went to pay Brother Luo a New Year's greeting. The two of them got extremely drunk in a Taipei villa, and each was helped back to the room by a woman, and there was another big fight.
Sir Zhuang paid some attention to the matter of "TSMC" and learned that TSMC had no problems and had already invested in R&D and production, so he did not pay too much attention to it.
The rest of the time was basically spent with Rose.
There was no other way. Ever since "Rose" found out that A Mei was pregnant, her thoughts started to stir. Her long legs were wrapped around Sir Zhuang's waist every day, and she would lie next to Sir Zhuang's ear and gently lick her, saying "I want...".
She made it clear that she was not willing to lag behind others, and she also wanted to carry out the human-creation movement!
the next day.
Morning.
Rose walked out of the kitchen with a breakfast and placed it in the dining room of the Kenting villa.
Zhuang Shikai had just washed up and walked downstairs in his nightgown.
When he sat at the dining table and picked up the fork, he immediately showed surprise: "Are you going to be so exaggerated?"
"Would you like to eat oysters for me so early in the morning?"
Rose stood next to her with a glass of milk, winking and smiling: "I'm here to replenish your health..."
Zhuang Shikai picked up a few oysters and threw them into his mouth, laughing: "What do you mean?"
"I saw you screaming so miserably last night, and I deliberately held back my strength! But you actually baked oysters for me? You don't want to live at night anymore?"
"That was not what I meant……"
"I don't care what you mean! Go get me some more raw eggs!"
Zhuang Shikai waved his hand, Rose curled her lips, turned around and went to get a few eggs, and helped Zhuang Sir fill a straight cup.
"No! Here you go!" Rose handed the cup to Zhuang Shikai. Zhuang Shikai took the cup, raised his head, drank it in one gulp, and then put the cup on the table.
He had already finished breakfast.
He said with some annoyance: "Why are you more aggressive than me lately?"
"I miss you..." At this moment, the "first sister of the society" who dominated both places gently shook his arm and acted coquettishly. Sir Zhuang trembled all over, and quickly took the milk next to him and drank it.
This woman is really as old as a wolf and a tiger! If Zhuang Shikai hadn't been in better physical condition, he wouldn't have been able to endure this!
However, Rose is indeed getting better and better at playing.
The charm is also more attractive.
At this time, Zhuang Shikai put down the milk cup. Rose suddenly remembered something serious and asked in a serious tone: "Shikai, I heard that the Macau government will release another gambling license recently..."
"Do you want to win that gambling card?" Zhuang Shikai asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Gambling license" is the license for legally opening a casino in Macau. Since the Macau government issued a tender, the bidding requirements and amount were extremely huge, which involved many connections and struggles between various forces.
After all, the "gambling industry" is the biggest piece of cake in Macau. As long as you get a "gambling license", you can get a piece of the cake. And how big is the "gambling industry" on Hong Kong Island? What is the potential of Macau?
Sir Zhuang is also interested in this.
Rose nodded and said, "Yes!"
"My main business in Baodao is not big, and my annual income is only tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars."
'But gambling is different... Macau's gambling industry is also a serious business. If I get this gambling license, I will become one of the richest women in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan... It's just a little difficult. "
"It's a rare opportunity, I'm going to give it a try."
Zhuang Shikai fell into thinking, nodded slightly and said, "Okay! I have some connections in Macau! Let's say hello to Mr. He first!"
"Whether he wants it or not, he will always give me face!"
"If you encounter any trouble again, come to me and I will help you solve it!"
Macau opened its gambling industry in 1847, declaring it legal, but using the name "gambling industry" to harvest the East Asian economy.
Of course, during this period, there was mutual benefit between the government and the Australian people, and many welfare policies were provided to the Australian people.
However, in the early days of the gambling industry, management was chaotic, various large and small gambling stalls lacked supervision, and there were also problems with taxation. In short, there were "no rules."
So in the 1990s and 1950s, Macau began to implement a monopoly system for the gambling industry.
The government issues licenses to businessmen through bidding, and only companies licensed by the government can operate on behalf of the government.
This license is called a "gambling license".
In 1962, Macau's "Mr. He" was the man who won the first gambling license. He once monopolized the Macau gambling industry and was known as the "Gambling King" in the world.
At this time, Macau has also become a "gambling port"! All gambling stalls and casinos in Macau are essentially subsidiaries of Lisboa! Because there is only one gambling license in Macau!
Then another license was issued in the 1970s, and now there are two gambling licenses in Macau. It was in the 1980s, and Macau was finally going to issue a third gambling license!
Since "Rose" wants to do this gambling card, Sir Zhuang will have a hand in it, no matter whether Mr. He and Mr. Ye want to give face or not! This face must be given!
This small island called "Macau" has another name - Haojiang!
A name that only exists among coastal Chinese people.
"Thank you, husband." Rose smiled sweetly, stepped forward and kissed Sir Zhuang on the cheek, then pressed her whole body against Sir Zhuang's body. Sir Zhuang wiped off his lipstick aggrievedly, looked at her and asked, "Again? You just woke up!"
"It's the same when you wake up and before you go to bed! Didn't you just eat?" Rose blinked and smiled.
…
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
The police force's vacation is over.
The smell of the new year is gradually dissipating.
People have to get down to business.
Some people have to work hard for life, some have to weigh the pros and cons of politics, and some have their swords out of their sheaths, ready to do big things.
Zhuang Shikai returned to Hong Kong Island, put on his suit and drove to work.
When he approached the Wan Chai Police Station, the police officers greeted him one after another.
"Good morning, Sir Zhuang!"
"morning!"
"Good morning, sir."
Zhuang Shikai smiled and nodded all the way, took the elevator back to the office and sat down.
"Hey! The new year has begun!" He opened his arms and looked at the sunshine outside the window, with a smile in his eyes.
At the same time, in the General Administration Building, Lu Minghua, Yang Jinrong, Zeng Xiangrong and others also returned to their offices, pulled out their chairs and put away their briefcases.
Lu Minghua had just sat down and his buttocks had not warmed up, so he picked up the phone and called Yang Jinrong: "Ah Rong, get ready to do something."
"Yes, sir!" Yang Jinrong put down the phone, raised his hand to put up his glasses, and a look of determination burst out in his eyes!
