Chapter 273 Peninsula Hotel



Xu Jianguo, who had his head lowered, felt relieved when he heard her laughter, and lamented that he still had some acting skills, otherwise he would have been exposed.

But Xu Jianguo didn't want to give up halfway. He looked up at Xu Ziqi with displeasure and asked, "What are you laughing at? Don't you believe that I can make a career in Hong Kong Island with my own abilities?"

Xu Ziqi looked at Xu Jianguo's serious expression and found it even more funny. However, out of professionalism, she stopped smiling and said, "No, I believe you!"

"You are lying!" Xu Jianguo said unhappily.

"I really believe in you. A man should have a career of his own. On this point, you and I agree." Xu Ziqi said seriously.

"Really? Then can you help me?" Xu Jianguo asked.

"I can indeed help you get a Hong Kong ID card, but registering a company requires a lot of money. Can you come up with that much money by yourself?" asked Xu Ziqi.

"You don't have to worry about this. I have money, but I don't have Hong Kong dollars. Is it okay to have only British pounds?" Xu Jianguo asked.

Xu Ziqi was a little surprised, but she didn't show it. She said, "Okay! Of course!"

"Then can you help me with this as soon as possible? How much does it cost to register three companies?"

"Registering a company is not that quick. I will take you to get an ID card first. As for the money, you can deposit it directly into the bank after the company is registered. As for our company's agency fee, you can just give some money for tea and water. It's my thank you for helping me before!" Xu Ziqi said with a smile.

"No, let's be clear about one thing. Since you are willing to trust me, it means you treat me as a friend. My family said that business is business, so the price should be the same. You can give me a discount, but it must be a specific number, otherwise I will find another company." Xu Jianguo said stubbornly.

"Okay, okay, you're just a little brat, but you have so many rules!" Xu Ziqi said unhappily.

Xu Jianguo muttered to himself, "Is there a word for 'little brat' in Cantonese?"

When the two came out of the company, it was already past noon. Xu Ziqi took Xu Jianguo to a tea restaurant she often went to, ordered some food, and after eating, she took him to the Central Police Station.

An hour later, the two left the police station and returned to Xu Ziqi's company. Xu Jianguo looked at the brand new Hong Kong ID card in his hand, his heart filled with passion.

From now on, he has a formal and legal Hong Kong identity, and the large amount of gold, jewelry and cash in his hands can finally be put to use.

Cathy took Xu Jianguo's ID card and helped him fill out the company registration documents. She then asked, "Why don't you use your real name?"

"I'm just worried that my family will find me. If they knew I came to Hong Kong Island, they would have someone kidnap me back in minutes!" Xu Jianguo said hatefully.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Ziqi couldn't help but have some guesses about Xu Jianguo's family background. She felt that Xu Jianguo's family background must be extraordinary.

This is exactly Xu Jianguo's purpose, which can be regarded as a veil of mystery he has created for himself.

"Xu Jianguo, Guo Jianxu...it's okay, not too bad." Xu Ziqi muttered as she wrote.

Xu Jianguo curled his lips and said nothing.

By the time all the information was filled out, it was already past three in the afternoon, mainly because Xu Jianguo wasted some time naming the company.

Finally, he named his three companies Piaoyang International Trade Co., Ltd., Qihang Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., and Dingfeng Financial Investment Co., Ltd.

In terms of registered capital, Xu Jianguo decided that each company would have 100,000 pounds. When this amount was announced, Xu Ziqi was shocked again. She really didn't expect that a young man she just met on the street would have such financial resources. She became more certain of her previous guess about his family background.

After everything was done, Xu Jianguo said goodbye. Before leaving, he asked Xu Ziqi to help him find a few properties, one for his own residence and the other three as the company's registered address.

After all, he doesn't have a place to live in Hong Kong Island yet, so when the police station staff asked him for his address, they still gave him the address of Xu Ziqi's company. This is also the reason why he was anxious to buy a house.

After spending most of the day in contact, Xu Ziqi had already become immune to Xu Jianguo's financial resources, so she was not surprised. She just promised him that she would implement it as soon as possible.

After the two agreed on a meeting time for tomorrow, Xu Jianguo left.

Xu Ziqi stood in front of the window of her office, watching Xu Jianguo leave, and sighed inwardly: "What a young man you are, it's hard to see through him. If I were a few years younger, I would definitely win you over!"

Smiling and shaking her head, Xu Ziqi picked up the coffee that had already gone cold on the table and took a sip, then began to call her friends. She wanted to follow through on what Xu Jianguo had asked her to do as soon as possible and help him find four properties.

After leaving Xu Ziqi's company, Xu Jianguo did not rush back to the space. Instead, he stopped a taxi and went to the pier. Then he took a boat across the sea and arrived at the Peninsula Hotel not far from Victoria Harbour.

Standing in the square in front of the Peninsula Hotel, looking at this five-star hotel known as the "Lady of the Far East", Xu Jianguo felt a lot of emotions. In his previous life, he would stay here every time he came to Hong Kong Island, and many of his business deals were also negotiated here. It was also here that he met the person of his heart for the first time in his life. However, due to some things later, the two people did not have any intersection. This is probably one of the few regrets in his previous life.

Compared with Xu Jianguo's memory in his previous life, the current Peninsula Hotel is a little shabby and far less magnificent than it was in later generations. It was not until the early 1990s that the hotel expanded a new 30-story hotel building on the north side of the main building, which is what we see now.

The Peninsula Hotel opened in 1928 and is the oldest five-star hotel in Hong Kong Island. Of course, there was no so-called star rating in the past, but a hotel that has been in business for nearly a hundred years must have its outstanding features.

But what is shameful is that in December 1941, the Japanese devils launched a fierce attack on Hong Kong Island. The coalition forces composed of the three powerful countries of Britain, Canada and India, as well as the Hong Kong Island army, were defeated after a fierce resistance. The then Governor of Hong Kong Island also signed the surrender document at the Peninsula Hotel, thus starting the history of Hong Kong Island being enslaved by the Japanese devils.

During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong Island, the Peninsula Hotel was requisitioned by the Japanese as their command center.

Xu Jianguo collected his thoughts, walked into the hotel lobby, took out his ID card that he had just obtained, and then took out two fifty-yuan notes and booked a room in the hotel for a week.

This will serve as his temporary transit station during his stay in Hong Kong Island, to avoid being discovered by others when entering and exiting the space.

After entering the room, Xu Jianguo hung a Do Not Disturb sign outside the door, then checked the room and slipped into the space.
