Chapter 289 Hutchison Ceremony
After receiving the banknotes, the hotel manager walked to the check-in desk, tidied it up seemingly casually, took the elevator downstairs, changed into casual clothes, and walked out of the hotel.
After walking for a few minutes, we arrived at a bar.
The bar was not open at this time, but after chatting with the security guard for a few words, he walked in as if he was familiar with the place.
"Brother Kai, I just received a group of guests..."
After the hotel manager found the key person, he told the other person everything that had happened in detail to make sure nothing was missed.
Hearing his words, Akai frowned and said, "You mean, this group of people from the Australian Federation came here just for Brother Hao?"
As a low-level member of the society, Akai had no idea what happened to Brother Hao when he went to Bristol.
However, this abnormal behavior still made Akai alert.
"I think so. Otherwise, there would be no need for the other party to ask me not to tell anyone about this matter at the last moment."
The hotel manager took out another stack of documents and said, "Also, this is the identity information of that group of people. I have sorted them all out without missing a single thing."
Although the Peninsula Hotel belongs to the Kadoorie family, it still has to pay property fees to Hutchison, so the hotel manager will naturally be wary when a stranger asks about Lin Zehao.
This is a kind of influence of personal connections. Although it cannot be seen or touched, it does exist.
"Okay, I know about this." After saying this, Akai took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into the hotel manager's hand. He then said, "If something like this happens again in the future, you must tell me in time."
The hotel manager waved his hand and said, "Brother Kai, it was Brother Hao who helped me with my daughter's schooling. How can I still collect cash paper?"
"I must not accept this money, otherwise how can I face Brother Hao in the future?"
"Don't worry, if this group of people have any further movements, I will definitely tell you."
After saying this, the hotel manager placed the stack of banknotes on the table and turned to leave.
From beginning to end, he didn't say anything about the benefits.
Because Lin Zehao often comes to the Peninsula Hotel, the hotel manager naturally has the opportunity to talk to him face to face. Not long ago, his daughter was troubled by the issue of further education.
With no other options left, the hotel manager told Lin Zehao about the matter and begged him for help.
Lin Zehao made a phone call in front of him. Two hours later, his wife called and said that their daughter's enrollment procedures had been completed and she could go to school anytime and anywhere.
At that time, the hotel manager immediately burst into tears and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Lin Zehao, but was stopped by A Mai.
Although Lin Zehao did not ask for anything in return, the hotel manager still buried this friendship deep in his heart and would never forget it for the rest of his life.
Now, having encountered such a thing, he certainly would not stand idly by.
The hotel manager returned to the hotel, changed into work clothes, and watched Britz Oden and others heading to the restaurant. He thought to himself, "Sorry, I don't believe in God."
"This is Hong Kong Island. I believe in Brother Hao."
Akai did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately reported the news to his elder brother.
Afterwards, his eldest brother reported it to higher levels, and finally it came to Yang Chengrong.
Yang Chengrong knew what his boss had done in Bristol. When he saw Blitzkrieg mentioned in the information, he knew that it must be that group of people who came.
Thinking of this, Yang Chengrong did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately reported the matter to his boss.
After the call was connected, he told the story again and asked, "Brother Hao, the other party has come to our door, what should we do next?"
Lin Zehao played with the Dupont lighter in his hand, his tone was very relaxed, and he said with a smile: "The Blitz family has come to Hong Kong Island. As the host, we must entertain them well."
"Tell the people below not to act rashly for the time being. Just pretend that this incident has not happened. I will have Aji and Peng send people to keep an eye on them."
"Since they think I'm just an ordinary businessman, let's have some fun with him. The Hutchison Grand Ceremony is coming soon, let's let them enjoy the beautiful scenery of Hong Kong Island first."
At the beginning, Lin Zehao was not afraid of the Blitz family when he was in Bristol, where he was unfamiliar with the place. Now that he is back in Hong Kong Island, he is even less afraid.
Once they arrive in Hong Kong Island, Lin Zehao will let the members of the Blitz family experience what despair is!
"I understand, Brother Hao."
Seeing that his boss already had a plan in mind, Yang Chengrong naturally relaxed.
In his opinion, in Hong Kong Island, as long as their boss wants, this group of people can experience different ways of dying.
The so-called sheep entering the tiger's mouth is nothing more than this.
After hanging up the phone, orders were issued one after another.
Under the leadership of Lin Zehao, the huge machine of Hutchison Whampoa immediately began to operate in an orderly manner.
Beneath the calm water surface, undercurrents are surging.
Although it seems calm, if you are not careful, you may end up in pieces.
……
As time goes by, the day of the Hutchison Ceremony is quietly approaching.
Although this day has no special meaning for ordinary citizens of Hong Kong Island, it is also just an ordinary day for those businessmen and wealthy people.
However, for certain specific groups, it is a big deal.
Sham Shui Po, Wo Kee Ancestral Hall.
This ancestral hall, which covers a very large area, is usually sparsely populated and rarely visited. Apart from the necessary security personnel, there is no one else here.
Today, this ancestral hall that has witnessed countless pieces of history seems to be surrounded by crowds of people, especially the entrance, which can be described as a sea of people without being exaggerated at all.
Countless Shenghe Sijiuzi men in black suits were constantly maintaining order and directing parking.
No matter where you are, you can see this group of people busy at work.
Although the workload is heavy, everyone still has an excited look on their face.
For everyone at He Sheng He, the wait for this day has been long enough.
Now, finally, what they wanted came true. At the entrance, three uncles from the society sat on armchairs, in front of them was a long table covered with a red cloth.
They looked solemn as they were verifying the invitations of the guests.
Not far away, there were dozens of young men standing there, maintaining order. Judging from the bulges on their waists, they all carried guns.
"Invitations are no problem, please."
People or groups whose invitations have been verified will naturally be led by special people to sit in special areas.
When we arrived at the Huike Square, the two best lion dance troupes in Hong Kong Island both put aside other business and arrived as scheduled.
I saw a golden lion and a red lion, shaking their heads and tails, blinking their eyes from time to time, looking very agile.
Accompanied by the accompaniment of big drums and dacha, it seems very joyful.
At this time, it was close to the Spring Festival, so everyone present felt a little festive atmosphere in advance.
There are three types of invitations to the Hutchison Grand Ceremony. One type is sent by Wei Longhao himself, which is the highest level and the most valuable.
Secondly, there are specific invitations sent to large or medium-sized societies, and only societies that have reached a certain size are eligible to receive them.
Secondly, there is the most common standard invitation. Any community of a certain size in Hong Kong Island will receive one and can come to watch the ceremony.
After all, in the imagination of Uber and others, this ceremony was meant to be an announcement to the world.
Of course, the bigger the scale and the more people come, the better.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be like walking in the night in gorgeous clothes, unable to demonstrate their powerful appeal of victory and harmony?
Watching the performance, the venue was bustling and lively.
The new generation of the society are all working diligently in their respective positions to ensure that this Hutchison Ceremony can be successfully completed.
Listening to the enthusiastic voices coming from the ancestral hall, the Royal Hong Kong Island Police officers standing guard not far away were obviously not in such a good mood.
"You see, this Wei Longhao is really arrogant. He sued the Hong Kong government and the police force, and then convened a 'Martial Arts Conference'. He simply didn't take those foreigners seriously..."
"Who says it's not true? Those people are eating and playing inside, but we can only stand here miserably, just like opening a door for others. I don't know what those superiors are thinking."
"There's nothing we can do. All the well-known gang leaders and leaders in Hong Kong are here for the Hutchison Gathering. These people always go out without bringing a few followers with them. The total number of these people alone is not a small number. With all these people together, do you think those people above us wouldn't be scared?"
"It's not just the Hong Kong community. I heard that even the neighboring Macao and Formosa have heavyweights present. It's simply a modern version of a martial arts conference. Wei Longhao is like the leader of the martial arts world. He raises his arm and calls out to the world. Who dares not to obey?"
The police officers were talking at once, obviously complaining about the orders given by their superiors.
At this time, a police officer suddenly had an idea and said, "What do you think? If someone threw a bomb into the venue at this time, wouldn't Hong Kong Island be in chaos?"
These words made the people who were originally talking shut up immediately, and they all turned their eyes to the police officer who was speaking.
Without saying a word, she just stared at him.
The police officer was immediately frightened by his colleagues' uniform actions and said quickly: "Please, don't do this to me. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
Seeing that the prank was successful, his colleagues stopped teasing him and said, "Boss, we are not teasing you, you are teasing us!"
"Don't you know that in our line of work, we must not have bad words?"
"If what you said really happens, be careful or the inspector will come talk to you!"
Hearing what his colleagues said, the previous police officer quickly said, “Pah, pah, pah!”
"I'm just a big mouth, it won't happen."
As he spoke, the police officer closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, and bowed towards the east, muttering something.
This time, the Hong Kong Island Police Force dispatched 600 armed police officers and even a dozen assault vehicles, all of which were parked not far from the Hutchison Ancestral Hall. If anything happened, they could ensure that they could respond in the first time.
Moreover, according to rumors, the Flying Tigers have already put on a full set of tactical equipment and are on standby at all times.
If an accident happens here, we will directly dispatch by helicopter.
Moreover, the roads nearby had long been blocked by the police. Except for the cars coming to attend the ceremony, no other outsiders were allowed to enter.
This is to prevent ordinary citizens from being involved. If an accident occurs, it will bring unexpected trouble to the police operation.
From this, we can see how much pressure Wei Longhao's action has brought to the Hong Kong Police Force and the government.
At this moment, in addition to those who were already in the underworld, there were also some young people who tried to join Hutchison. They were waiting not far from the Hutchison Ancestral Hall, waiting for a turning point in their fate.
From a rough look, there were at least a hundred people gathered there.
Moreover, this number is still increasing.
"I heard that Hutchison will open its doors to the public and recruit many disciples this time. I don't know if I can be selected." A slender man who looked like a bamboo pole said with some concern.
Hearing this, a sturdy man with obvious muscle contours couldn't help but say, "Looking at your frail appearance, I know you have no hope. If Heji wants to hire someone, it must be the best!"
"Just like me, with my muscles all over my body, I can not only fight, but also take the beatings!"
"This is the result of me spending twelve hours a day in the gym!"
As he spoke, he even posed in a few different ways to highlight his muscles.
As a great admirer of Daliqiang, he naturally had to develop a body of lean muscles.
The bamboo man glanced at him, snorted coldly, and said disdainfully: "Humph! Do you understand or not?"
"The muscles you gained from working out are all dead muscles. They are just bluffing. Just because you are big doesn't mean you can fight!"
As he spoke, the bamboo-like man tore off his clothes and threw them aside, revealing his abnormally thin body.
