Chapter 261 The hot Lan Kwai Fong! Tens of thousands of people flocked to Lan Kwai Fong

In 1978, the official population of Xiangjiang was 466.75 million.

In fact, these people should be the population with legal residence certificates in Xiangjiang, including white people with Xiangjiang ID cards and other certificates.

The population of Xiangjiang is far more than this.

Before this, there were Dan family members in Xiangjiang, and even many underworld households. They had not obtained ID cards and were not included in official population statistics.

In addition, during this period, some people from China and even Southeast Asia sneaked into Hong Kong, and there were also international tourists who came to Hong Kong by plane and were stranded.

Under this circumstance, the population of Xiangjiang should have exceeded 5 million, which is only a difference of more than 2 million from the historical permanent population of Xiangjiang, which was more than 7 million.

Today, Lan Kwai Fong is officially open for business.

And because today is Sunday, tonight is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is Christmas, many young men and women even bring their families to visit here.

As soon as Yang Ming, Azhu, and Zhong Chuhong arrived here, he saw that there were people everywhere, and there were all kinds of noisy languages ​​and dialects everywhere.

However, the sir here came early in the morning to maintain order, and even brought out the isolation guardrails in advance to prevent most people from gathering together and causing stampedes and other accidents.

Before the official opening of Lan Kwai Fong, Meris had many meetings with the management of Lan Kwai Fong Group and Sir Xiangjiang to prevent accidents.

Now Lan Kwai Fong is not only an important subsidiary of the Empire Group, but also an important facade of Xiangjiang and the Governor's Palace. Many white people come here to consume, and the safety of those white customers must be ensured.

The Governor-General's Office of Xiangjiang and Sir Xiangjiang attach great importance to it.

Here, in addition to the uniformed sirs, I also saw a group of part-time workers and a group of volunteers. It seemed that there were many people on the street and it was a bit messy, so it would not cause chaos.

Yang Ming still pulled Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong. When they officially entered Lan Kwai Fong, the two women were quickly attracted by the decorated shops inside.

There are all bars and Western restaurants here.

Every bar and every Western restaurant has a different decoration. In addition, the streets outside are also decorated in various ways.

When I came here for the first time, I felt it was worth it just to see the decoration outside.

Browsing here in Lan Kwai Fong is also free, and you don’t have to spend a penny at all except entering the store to make purchases.

Came to an Italian-Western restaurant.

Yang Ming saw the price list above.

He found it was really cheap.

Things like pizza, pasta, steak, etc. are cheaper than Yang Ming imagined.

In Yang Ming's view, Lan Kwai Fong's main focus is cheapness.

The environment here has become mid-to-high-end after renovation. In Yang Ming's opinion, what is pursued here is high quality and low price.

If the price is too expensive, even if some Xiangjiang citizens can afford it, they may not come back a second time.

What's more, most of the white elites in Xiangjiang are not able to spend a lot of money even if they are rich.

They still like to buy a glass of imported German beer for HKD 5 or HKD 8 and sit here and enjoy the slow life for most of the day.

Consumption here is not expensive now.

Even, like many food and drink establishments, you can get free snacks.

In addition, it just opened today, and Lan Kwai Fong has a 20% discount, which makes it even cheaper.

A glass of German beer here used to cost HKD 5, but now it only costs HKD 4, and peanuts and other snacks are also included.

In this case, almost every store is very popular.

Some are full of queues.

There were too many people inside and outside the store.

In Yang Ming's opinion, if there are too many people, it will actually not be very comfortable.

Many of the tourists and citizens who came here today were just looking for novelty or excitement.

Yang Ming took Azhu and Zhong Chuhong around and finally found a place with few people and found a place to sit down.

before coming.

Yang Ming, Azhu, Zhong Chuhong and others all had dinner in advance, and he was not hungry.

Now that I'm here, let's have something to eat here.

A white waitress came over with a recipe.

It has English and Cantonese on it, so you can read it clearly.

"Just order whatever you like to eat."

Azhu and Zhong Chuhong ordered some snacks.

Yang Ming ordered a drink.

Not long after, the young white waitress brought over some free snacks and specifically told Yang Ming that these were free and she thought they were delicious and would come again next time.

When the other party left, Yang Ming thought she would be waiting to give him a tip.

In Xiangjiang, basically every service, including hotel waiters, restaurant waiters, security guards, etc., have the habit of collecting tips.

When I meet a generous boss, the tip I give him is quite a lot throughout the day.

After a month, it may even be higher than a month's salary.

It is said that Li Jiacheng also tips, but not much.

Yang Ming knew that tipping had penetrated into all aspects of Xiangjiang.

When he first brought up tipping with Merliss and Kahn, he knew that if he suggested that waiters could not accept tips, he would probably encounter resistance from those waiters.

In this case, it's certainly not appropriate.

In that way, he did not suggest that waiters should not accept tips from customers.

In the end, he still suggested that if you can, don't charge it. Even if you want to charge it, it will only be collected if the customer tips. If you insist on collecting tips, sooner or later it will affect the mood of the guests and affect Lan Kwai Fong's reputation.

When the waitress brought the drinks ordered by Yang Ming and the snacks ordered by Azhu and the two girls, Azhu gave the waitress a tip of 1 Hong Kong dollar.

The young white waitress thanked Ah Zhu and put it into her friend's pocket. Looking at her bulging pocket, she didn't know how much she had collected in tips.

Yang Ming tasted the drink there.

Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong were enjoying snacks there.

Looking at the Lan Kwai Fong Group he built, Yang Ming was still a little happy.

He knew that he was standing on the shoulders of history's giants, referring to the Jewish businessman Sheng Zhiwen. If Sheng Zhiwen hadn't created such a place in his previous life, Yang Ming really wouldn't have been able to think of it, nor would he have known about it.

. . .

Yang Ming and others stayed here until around six o'clock in the evening, when night began to fall in Xiangjiang.

Beautiful light opening here in Lan Kwai Fong.

The Lan Kwai Fong area becomes even more beautiful at night, as more and more Hong Kong citizens and tourists flock to this place.

Yang Ming knew.

The Lan Kwai Fong Group he built with his own hands should have been successful, and it did not lose to the Lan Kwai Fong Group built by Sheng Zhiwen in history.

"We're going back." Yang Ming said.

"Master, are you going back so soon?"

They have been sitting here for two or three hours and have seen many places in Lan Kwai Fong. Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong are still reluctant to leave.

The main reason is that the lights here at night are so beautiful and Merry Christmas songs are played everywhere, making people forget to leave here.

"Go back, there will be more people here soon."
