Li Jianyang cleared up the relationship with the upper class and then handed over the relevant affairs to the relevant personnel of the Penang Trading Company, who completed the follow-up work. He himself ended his half-month vacation and took his wife and family to Hong Kong on a boat.

Hong Kong, Victoria Bay.

The tall 12-story Huitong Bank Southeast Asia headquarters building is one of the landmark buildings on Hong Kong Island. The densely packed Xu family boats in the bay are undulating with the waves. On the shore are connected to the tenement buildings, with crowds of people coming and going, showing the vitality of this emerging Southeast Asia trading city.

This is one of the important ports for traders in the Ocean Kingdom to radiate to Southeast Asia. Local residents rarely leave braids. This is because Australian merchants never hire hard workers and friends who keep braids. Most of the docks here belong to Australian merchants, and a small number of them belong to British merchants.

If you want to ask for a bowl of rice on the dock, you have to cut your braids first.

Today, the Ocean Empire has a strong influence throughout Southeast Asia and West Asia. Most of the local overseas Chinese rarely have braids. This is because the wealthy Ocean Empire merchants rejected this custom of mankind. Under the subtle influence of Australia's advocating the culture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, trendy clothing and popular music, many young overseas Chinese took the initiative to cut off their braids.

A long whistle sounded like "Woo..."

The cruise ship Li Jianyang was taking slowly approaching the dock. His wife and family joined more than 10 servants, plus a lot of luggage, and took three carriages to Central Rd. The Somali Company's Hong Kong Island Branch has a large building there, which is convenient for food and accommodation.

1905 was an uneasy year, and there was no need to mention the Russo-Japanese War. In January of the year, the Japanese army spent a heavy price to capture Lushun Port.

At this time, a large-scale revolutionary movement broke out in Tsarist Russia. Strike riots broke out one after another. At the peak of July and August, more than 1.7 million workers in Tsarist Russia went on strike and students took classes. Soldiers on the Baltic Sea Iron Crafts revolted and drove the warships to Odessa to participate in the workers' movement.

New ideas abroad entered the land of China, pursued national self-improvement, and called for the overthrow of the corrupt rule of the Qing Dynasty. New ideas were popular. Sun Yat-sen's Tongmenghui proposed the "Three Principles of the People" of nationality, democracy and civil rights, which caused extreme panic among the Qing government.

In order to adapt to the changes in the new era, the Qing government abolished tortures such as beheading, lingchi, and corpse killings, and planned to implement "constitutional monarchy" to ease sharp social contradictions.

Amid the turmoil of historical tides, Hong Kong, the pearl of the South China Sea, has gradually become a striking trade city in the wave of economic expansion of the Ocean Empire, with a city population of more than 800,000, becoming the ruling center of Southeast Asian ruling in the British colonies.

After settling down

Major Li Jianyang went to the garrison headquarters to report that his new position was the liaison officer of the British garrison major, who was mainly responsible for the delivery and contact of important documents between the local garrison and the Governor's Office. Diplomatic emails from London must also be inspected by the liaison officer's office, and after the postmark is verified, it will be delivered to the Governor's Office and the consulates in various countries in Hong Kong.

This is a leisurely job, and he doesn't need to handle the specific affairs. He contacted the 6 low-level officers under the liaison office, each in charge of a lot of affairs.

If necessary, you can contact the military police, police and local garrisons at any time.

More than 90% of the city in Hong Kong are Chinese, and there are also some Indians, immigrants from Southeast Asian countries and whites. Wandering in this city, it seems that they have come to a major overseas city of the Ocean Empire.

The difference is that the streets here are narrow, the sanitation is poorer, and the public security is even worse. You have to pay attention to your wallet when you walk on the street. There are also ubiquitous sacks and ladies, standing on the street with cigarettes in their hands, looking for targets that you can start.

This is a city where all religions and all kinds of things come together, and it is also a city where people and dragons are mixed.

Li Jianyang took two bodyguards to stroll on the street. Somewhere on the phonograph vinyl record came from the melodious voice of a singer, echoing in the streets and alleys, with the feeling of lazy afternoon.

"Borrow light, borrow light..."

The human resources rickshaw driver ran over quickly while ringing the copper bell. Li Jianyang quickly pulled the bodyguard Ali with quick eyes and hands. The rickshaw passed by and almost hit him.

"Pujie, are you rushing to reincarnate?" Ali finally realized and couldn't help cursing in desperation.

Just as Li Jianyang turned around, the human resources rickshaw had already run away. He smiled and patted Ali's shoulder and said, "Lifu is busy making a living, but he has no time to take care of you."

"Young Master, the street is too messy."

"After all, it is a colonial city, and the British don't care about it when governing it. It's better than the Dutch."

"If you want me to tell me, it's the Germans who are willing to care about it. Look at the city built by the Germans in Qingdao on the Jiaodong Peninsula. It's really beautiful. In my opinion, it's not much worse than us."

Since occupying the Jiaodong Peninsula in 1897, the Germans have built a large number of modern buildings and public facilities in Qingdao, including ports, roads, stations, hospitals, churches, schools, banks, shipyards, water plants, etc.

Over the years, the Germans have invested hundreds of millions of marks in Qingdao, and the investment in Qingdao port and municipal construction alone has reached 182 million marks.

This is an unimaginable thing for the colonists, and no country has built colonies as crazy as the Germans.

Qingdao is now called Little Switzerland. The construction standards are even higher than those in Germany. The rain and sewage diversion sewage facilities in Qingdao’s urban area are the most advanced urban sewage pipeline network in the world today. Many major cities in Germany do not have such high-standard public facilities.

Li Jianyang also smiled when he heard Ali say this. "Ali, the Germans regard Qingdao as a model colony to build, but the British are not so generous. If it weren't for the merchants of the empire that strongly invested in the urban commerce and docks here, Hong Kong would be just a backward small seaside city. You have also opened your horizons in the past two years. Do you want to stay in Hong Kong to develop in the future?"

"Forget it, I'll follow the young master. I'll go wherever you go."

"Hehe... I'm hungry, there is a Western restaurant in front of me. Let's go in and take a rest and have a good meal before talking about it."

"That's good."

The group of three people swayed into the Western Restaurant. The waiter at the door looked at Li Jianyang's majestic and extraordinary expression. He did not dare to neglect at the moment, and he was diligently leading him into it.

The waiter led the guest to a secluded position. Before the three of them sat down, an unhappy voice came from their ears. "Wait a minute, what's going on? Why are there dirty Chinese people coming in in the restaurant? I need a reasonable explanation."

Li Jianyang frowned and turned his head with a bad expression. He saw two white men in white suits accompanying a lady, standing up and shouting loudly.

"If you know the interest, get out of here. Don't think that if you cut off your braids, I don't know. You damn yellow pigs are everywhere. This is not the place you should come..."

This is a strong white man, over 1.9 meters tall. He had already walked over while talking, reached out to push Li Jianyang's chest, and his face looked extremely arrogant.

It was too late to say it, then it was soon.

The white man's arm was broken with elbows. The sharp machete in Ali's hand was taken back with a string of blood beads, and he looked at him coldly and said, "Point me again, let me see how many hands do you have?"

The white man turned from arrogance to a terror, and then severe pain came. He couldn't help but grab the broken elbow with one hand and howled. Ali hit his throat with a lightning punch, knocking the tall and strong white man backwards and sitting on the ground. He could no longer scream "hoho" in his mouth.

The change in the blink of an eye occurred within a second or two. The white man's female companion screamed loudly. Another white man reached out to think of taking out the gun at the back, but was pointed at the head by a cold barrel and dared not move.

Seeing the opponent's ruthlessness, the white man quickly spread his hands out of surrender. He didn't dare to try whether the other party dared to shoot?

The guests around screamed and hid, while the waiters in the Western restaurant were already shocked and could not say a word.

Li Jianyang sighed lightly, sat down at the table, and then said to the waiter, "Give us three cups of cappuccino hot coffee, a bottle of scotch, and a Cuban cigar. As for the others, let's talk about them later."

The two bodyguards under him were both mercenaries who were rolling around in the crowd of dead people. In addition to being respectful to the young master, they would kill people if they were disagreeable outside. Loyalty is absolutely loyal, but they would take action a little more.

No matter what white Arabs or people who come out of the corners, I really don’t know how to write the word “fear” if you take action.

"Okay, don't scream this lady, tell me, what are you from?" Li Jianyang raised his legs and put one hand on his legs and gently knocked it, asking leisurely.

“Ah…oh.”

The young white woman was still screaming. Ali had already taken out the gun impatiently. The black barrel was directly inserted into the woman's mouth, making the woman no longer scream. Then she said coldly, "What a fuck, I'll shoot you in the head with one shot."

"No, no...please..." The white woman was so scared that she trembled all over and burst into tears.

"Young Master answers whatever he asks, say more nonsense, do you see it..." Ali paused the machete in his hand and inserted it straight into the thigh of the man with broken arm, making him scream in pain, and the fierceness just now was invisible.

Li Jianyang wiped his forehead helplessly, and his eyes signaled that Ali was almost the same. After all, this place is not the desert Gobi Desert in West Asia, so you should pay more or less attention.

"So now I can answer my question, Miss, where did you come from? What's the origin?"

"First... Sir, my companions and I are both Citibanks. The one who was beaten by you is called Hahn, and the other is Mr. Salisbury. They are both coffee merchants from the West Coast. I am Miss Lieberman. My father is the president of the Huaqi State Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong. He runs a cotton and sugar business. He has been in Hong Kong for more than 10 years, mainly sold to the northern continent..."

"Well... OK, do you know what these two people have to do with us?"

"Oh, God, I really don't know."

"That's how it works!"

Li Jianyang put down a stone in his heart. Such a businessman who screamed wildly usually had no feet and did not have a deep background. As long as he didn't kill someone, he could only lose some money.

Problems that are solved without money are not considered problems.

At this time, the waiter trembled with the coffee, a bottle of Scotch whiskey and a Cuban cigar. Then he looked back with a look. There was a middle-aged European man standing there who was afraid to step forward. It seemed that he was the restaurant owner.

Li Jianyang put the cigar on the table, and Ali waved his hand and cut off the eggplant hat, leaving only a shallow knife mark on the table. This hand was free to receive and receive without more than 10 years of skill and could not play it. If you use a machete to cut the eggplant hat, you may have this unique part in the world.

He took a chewy mouthful with a beautiful breath. Li Jianyang turned his eyes to the white man who was forced by the gun and asked softly, "Mr. Salisbury, are you still satisfied with the welcome ceremony under my command?"
