Fang Lang accepted the thanks from the food stall owner and his wife as a matter of course, waved his hand indifferently, and turned away.
When the others saw Fang Lang and the others were leaving, they followed them. As for Cai Jiabing of the 14K, he could only watch them leave from afar. He was just a gangster, so what qualifications did he have to interact with such a big shot?
Moreover, in the final analysis, he is the culprit of today's incident. What he should be thinking about now is not how to interact with a big shot like Fang Lang, but how to save his own life.
Fang Lang would not treat him differently just because of his former military identity, because everyone chooses their own path. If Cai Jiabing was not a gangster, Fang Lang would definitely lend him a hand, but since he chose to join a gang, there is nothing to say.
As Fang Lang and others left Stanley Street and returned to the car parked at the intersection, the soldiers of the entire guard company began to evacuate one after another. Several sniper teams hiding on the roofs of surrounding residents also took their equipment and returned to their team quickly and orderly.
When Nottingham Jones, Yao Mu and others saw these people, their eyes froze. Having just experienced World War II, they certainly knew very well who these gunmen hiding in the dark were. It seemed that they had been under the surveillance of these snipers.
Fortunately, I and others did not do anything excessive, otherwise I might have lost my life here today.
However, when Zeng John saw these snipers coming out, a look of "as expected" appeared on his face. It seemed that when he first walked into Stanley Street alone, these gunmen were monitoring his every move in the secret corners!
Fang Lang and his companions left the newly emerging food stall street in the port city under the watchful eyes of a group of police officers and gangsters. Although what happened here is in the past, the legendary story of a Chinese gangster has been left on Stanley Street in the future.
...
...
"Rienhart, do you know any Zeng John?"
On the way back, Fang Lang looked at Reinhardt and asked.
“I don’t understand!”
"Then why did you recommend him to be Grantham's security guard? Don't you know the risks of such a thing?"
Hearing this, Reinhardt turned around and looked at Fang Lang, patted his thigh and said:
"Don't worry, I just saw his courage. Whether he can be selected depends on his own efforts. I just provide him with such an opportunity.
If he really had problems, he couldn't really be Grantham's security. You have to understand that MI6 is not a vegetarian. "
The political review of these security personnel is very strict, and Fang Lang is well aware of this, but he knows that if there is any problem with Zeng John's background, Reinhardt will definitely be affected.
As his good friend, he didn't want to see this.
Although Zeng John is Chinese and Rianhart is British, he and Zeng John are not familiar with each other and he does not want Rianhart to take risks for a Chinese person he is not familiar with. This is the long-lasting affection of human beings.
"You don't know him well! This is not the Reinhardt I remember."
Hearing this, Reinhardt met Fang Lang's gaze and smiled slightly:
“I admire this brave young man and the Hong Kong City Police need more young people like him.
Didn’t you say that because he is Chinese, he has no chance to advance further in the Hong Kong Police Force? Now I want to try and see if I can change this situation.”
Fang Lang did not expect that Reinhardt was for this reason, and could not help but look at him deeply. Perhaps in his eyes, he hoped that the Hongcheng Police Department could have more brave young police officers like Zeng John.
In this way, the future public security in Hong Kong can be further improved and the rule of the British Hong Kong government can be more stable.
But Fang Lang felt that this was also a good thing for him. If Zeng John could really join Grantham's guard team, his future in the police force would be limitless when he came out.
Then in the future there might be a Chinese senior official in the police force, which would be a great thing for the entire Chinese community.
No matter what John Zeng's political stance is, even if he is a yellow-skinned, white-hearted banana person, it cannot change the fact that he is Chinese.
As long as they are Chinese, they will pave a path for other Chinese to be promoted. In the future, there will always be Chinese police officers who are willing to serve the interests of Chinese people and reach high positions.
This is a situation that Fang Lang is very willing to see, and he certainly will not stop it from happening.
"Okay! As long as you like it!"
After figuring it all out, Fang Lang smiled and shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression on his face. Seeing this, Reinhardt just smiled and didn't say much.
Soon, the convoy returned to the Admiralty Naval Base in the night. It wasn't that Fang Lang didn't want to check into the Peninsula Hotel right away, it was just that it was too late and everyone didn't have their luggage or equipment with them.
The host naval base did squeeze out a rare room for them. If he didn't stay there for a night, it would affect the image of the Brazilian Navy.
What's more, the Admiralty area where Fang Lang and his team are located and the Tsim Sha Tsui area where the Peninsula Hotel is located are not on the same island, but are separated by the sea. People need to take the Star Ferry across the sea to reach each other.
Of course, their navy did not need to take civilian ships, so the next morning, Fang Lang, accompanied by Reinhardt, took a transport boat directly to the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon.
At that time, The Peninsula Hotel had not yet built the 30-story wing in the north. It was a seven-story building in an H-shape. It looked majestic and steady from the outside, but once you walked into the hotel, you could see the luxurious aristocratic temperament everywhere.
Even someone like Fang Lang, who had seen a lot of the world in the later life, felt a luxurious and elegant atmosphere that made him feel happy when he walked into the hotel lobby.
After just one look, Fang Lang decided to live here for the time being.
Then Fang Lang rented several suites at the Peninsula Hotel, preparing to live there permanently, and Reinhardt also asked that a room must be reserved for him.
After settling down, Fang Lang asked someone to announce where he was staying, and then people started to visit him one after another.
The first was Hong Kong Police Commissioner MacIntosh. On the day Fang Lang moved into the Peninsula Hotel, he brought the Commissioner of Central Police Station and Nottingham Jones and his party to visit the hotel where Fang Lang was staying.
During the entire visit, neither party mentioned what happened in Central last night, as if it had never happened. If it weren't for the gifts left by Nottingham Jones before he left, Fang Lang would have thought that the Commissioner of Police, Mr. MacIntosh, had no idea what happened last night.
Later, Fang Lang read about what happened on Stanley Street last night in a local tabloid.
According to newspaper reports, a group of drunk men got into an argument at a food stall last night, which led to a violent physical fight.
During the conflict, someone suddenly pulled out a pistol and shot someone, 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, and the shooter who killed people was also caught by the police at the scene. There are witnesses and evidence at the scene of the shooting, and the suspect has confessed to his crime. The case can be officially closed as long as the police file criminal charges in court.
Fang Lang couldn't help but smile and shook his head after seeing this. It seemed that the Hong Kong City police were very quick in covering up the incident!
Of course, these had nothing to do with Fang Lang anymore. He was busy receiving the various heads of Fangyuan Group and Global Group's Hong Kong City branch.
It was a rare occasion when the boss came to Hong Kong City, so the heads of each branch company must take the initiative to make a detailed report on the development of the group company in Hong Kong City. Of course, reporting was only one of the purposes, and the more important thing was to show off in front of the boss.
Then, Bai Cunbao, the leader of the Hongmen Dashengtang in Hong Kong, came to visit with valuable gifts. While visiting, Bai Cunbao happened to meet another unexpected visitor, Chief Chinese Inspector Yao Mu.
The two were both well-known figures in Hong Kong's underworld, so it was natural for them to greet each other and chat for a few minutes when they met here. It was during this chat that Yao Mu realized that he had underestimated Mr. Fang's strength.
Looking at the gifts he had specially selected, he felt a little embarrassed. However, since he was already here, he could only bite the bullet and give them away first, and then slowly send the rest after the other party's museum was built.
Finally, many companies that have close cooperative relations with Fangyuan Group and Global Group sent people to the hotel to visit Fang Lang. The most influential among them were naturally the heads of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family in Hong Kong.
Originally, the Peninsula Hotel thought that there was only a visiting Brazilian major general staying there and did not pay much attention to it. However, as various big shots continued to visit for a week, the manager of the Peninsula Hotel had to improve the service level in the area where Fang Lang was located.
Not long after the service level of the Peninsula Hotel was upgraded, the hotel manager received news that the Governor of Hong Kong would dine with this guest at the Peninsula Hotel. The hotel manager was so scared that he immediately reported the situation to the Kadoorie family, hoping that this big boss would not cause trouble for him because of his negligence.
In fact, Fang Lang did not feel that there was anything wrong with the service of The Peninsula Hotel, because he did not need the services of The Peninsula Hotel at all. The area where he lived had long been controlled by his own security personnel, and service personnel had to go through layers of inspection before entering.
The entire food and beverage process is controlled by their own people. Except for occasionally using the hotel's restaurant to dine with their own guests, there is no need for any service from the Peninsula Hotel.
The Peninsula Hotel's Ruby Wong is the most authentic Cantonese restaurant in Hong Kong. If you want to dine here, you need to make a reservation a week in advance, but whether you can get a table depends on whether you have the financial resources to do so.
This restaurant is so difficult to book, but on that day, all reservations were canceled in advance, and all the guests who received the call from the hotel did not dare to make any comments.
Because the person to be entertained by the restaurant today is the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. Alexander Grantham.
"Mr. Governor, it's great to see you again!"
Fang Lang shook hands cordially with the invited Governor Grantham at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel. This was a private dinner, and no other government officials participated.
Therefore, Governor Grantham of Hong Kong could be said to have traveled light, with only a few bodyguards, secretaries and others.
"Haha... General Fang, you're too polite! I'm also very happy to see General Fang again. I heard that General Fang's place has been very busy these days!"
Hearing this, Fang Lang just smiled and stretched out his hand to gesture for them to go into the restaurant and chat slowly!
"Excuse me, Mr. Governor! I have been so busy with my work that I have to leave the normal work of the fleet to my subordinates."
Having said this, he and Grantham slowly walked inside.
The Peninsula Hotel is a profitable public place, so there are naturally many other guests. Now, due to the special status of the Governor, some control has been implemented on the scene, and the two were embarrassed to stay there for too long. Therefore, they all consciously walked towards the reserved restaurant.
Most of the guests of the Peninsula Hotel were either rich or noble, and many of them had met the Governor before, but there were obviously not many people who could invite the Governor to a private dinner alone. Therefore, everyone was very surprised to see the Governor's arrival.
Many people even greeted Grantham from a distance through the guards. Grantham walked inside with Fang Lang while nodding politely to the people around them.
The wealthy people around were all full of curiosity about Fang Lang's identity at this moment. They wondered who this young man was that he could invite the Governor to a private dinner.
But Fang Lang obviously doesn't care about these people's feelings.
After entering Jialin Building, Fang Lang and Grantham sat at the table that had been prepared long ago. Because Fang Lang reserved the entire place today, there were no other guests present.
"Your Excellency Governor, I'm glad that you can accept my invitation! Please take a seat!"
Hearing this, Grantham did not hesitate to nod politely to the waiter beside him, and with the help of the waiter, he sat down opposite Fang Lang.
"Haha... General Fang, you hid yourself well enough. If it weren't for your movements in Hong Kong these past two days, I wouldn't have thought that you were actually the boss of the American Global Group."
Grantham, who had just sat down, couldn't wait to speak while arranging the napkin in front of him.
Looking at the other party's meaningful eyes, Fang Lang smiled and said indifferently:
"Your Excellency 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 don't have much time to participate in business affairs.
These matters are handled by the professional managers we hired. I just take charge of the general direction. It is their credit that the company has achieved what it has today.”
Fang Lang's nonchalant attitude made Grantham look sideways. If he really believed what Fang Lang said, he would be a fool. With so many companies hiring professional managers, why was it that only his Global Group could achieve today's success?
"You Chinese are just too modest, which is not good. People who don't know you will easily believe you."
Seeing Grantham's expression that was almost like rolling his eyes, Fang Lang laughed and stretched out his hand to signal the waiter who was waiting not far away that the dishes could be served.
After receiving the other party's affirmative reply, he turned to look at Grantham and said with a smile:
"But His Excellency the Governor obviously didn't believe it!"
Hearing this, Grantham was stunned at first, and then quickly burst into laughter.
"Haha... General Fang is such an interesting person!"
After laughing, he took a sip of the tea on the table, looked at Fang Lang with a probing look and said:
"I heard that General Fang intends to open a private museum in Hong Kong City?"
