When rumors spread across the Japanese archipelago about Lin Zixuan's acquisition of Sumitomo and Fuji Bank, the Sumitomo family and the Yasuda family fought back. The collective resignation of hundreds of executives from the two banks once again allowed people to see the "united Japanese", and Lin Zixuan secretly arranged , poached banking executives from major banks around the world, gave the Japanese a hard slap in the face, and obtained the right to issue Japanese yen, Liu Yuanjin, the young owner of Hong Kong Mingyuan Restaurant, stood in a brand new suit. At the door of Beixinya Hotel, I looked up at the bright white sun in the sky and let out a long breath. Romance time travel book update first release, you only come He has been in Taiwan for a while. Fortunately, when he rushed to the Global Times office on Hennessy Road with Zhao Yuanlong's recommendation letter, he met the legendary man who had given Lin Zixuan When Luo Jiawen was called "the luckiest man in Hong Kong" with a few bowls of porridge and a place to sleep, the other party had just received the second telegram from Lin Zixuan in Taiwan. The content of the telegram was very simple. It asked Luo Jiawen to find someone with experience in hotel management and management in the shortest possible time to take up a post in Tai Wan, and to "monitor" a legendary figure, the former director of New Asia Hotel. Chairman and General Manager, the current General Manager Kong Lingjun is also commonly known as "Miss Kong"! But it is a pity that Luo Jiawen made several calls in succession, but could not find any talents willing to go to Taiwan. Therefore, when he saw him coming and learned his identity, he took Zhao Yuanlong's recommendation letter and knew that he was the "son of an old friend" who had helped them. In line with the mentality of responding to emergencies first, he did not After chatting more, he was sent directly to a boat to Tai Bay, and he arrived in Tai Bei. It can be said that before arriving in Taibei, Liu Yuanjin¡¯s impression of Taiwan was not very good. If he didn't have a fervent hope in his heart to do something big that silently supported him, he would never have taken the initiative to come over. Because he had heard a lot of news about Taiwan before this, and of course the news was definitely not good news. Moreover, when he officially set off, his father Liu Tianhang also repeatedly warned him and found a lot of news about Taiwan in recent years for him to read, telling him not to touch anything he shouldn't touch, so as to protect himself. This approach seemed a bit too cautious, but when he looked at the things his father had found, Liu Yuanjin felt that he was right to be worried. Legend has it that after Japan's unconditional surrender on August 15, 1945, Taipei Bay and the Penghu Islands officially re-entered Chinese territory, and all land, people, and military affairs were returned to China's sovereignty. Tens of thousands of Taipei City students and people from all walks of life A large parade was held to celebrate the motherland's recovery of its lost land. Every household in the province lit up lanterns and streamers, paid homage to their ancestors, drank all night long, and celebrated the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the liberation of Taiwan. However, in the face of the enthusiasm of the Taiwanese people to return to the motherland, the National Government brought them disappointment and oppression. The Nationalist Government implemented an autocratic dictatorship in Taiwan, vigorously excluded Taiwan locals politically, and "received" Japanese assets on a large scale. The so-called Trade Bureau and Monopoly Bureau were established to implement government monopoly on trade, tobacco and alcohol, etc., regardless of the interests of Taiwan's private capital and industrial and commercial enterprises. In addition, GMD officials are still doing the same thing as in the mainland, "three sheep will open the Qin Dynasty, and five sons will pass the imperial examination". They only know how to pick peaches and ignore the fact that Taiwan has actually passed under the cruel oppression of the Japanese. For decades, Taiwan's agriculture was paralyzed, supplies were scarce, prices soared, businesses were depressed, people were unemployed, and social security had deteriorated extremely. Officials were under control, corruption was rampant, and the military and police were rampant. In less than a year, the government was taken over. It became a "robbed harvest". It is said that Chiang Kai-shek's civil war in mainland China caused the economic crisis in mainland China, which was under their control, to directly affect Taiwan. Just one year after Taiwan was liberated, prices increased fourfold. Taiwan has a population of six million, two-thirds of whom live in poverty, hunger and cold. Therefore, the enthusiasm of the Taiwanese people to welcome the victory of the Anti-Japanese War happily was wiped out in less than a year under the squeeze of the GMD and their own personal experience. At that time, this jingle was widely circulated in various places in Taiwan, "Thinking of the yang, hoping for the yang, and when the yang comes, the disaster will be even worse." Some people even hung a cartoon in front of the original Japanese Governor's Palace, "Where the dog goes, the fat pig comes." A professor at Taiwan University said to an American reporter: "Why are you Americans so generous to the Japanese, but so cruel to us in Taiwan? You only dropped two atomic bombs on Japan, but left a He killed Chiang Kai-shek, who was a thousand times more powerful than two atomic bombs." Various contradictions accumulated over time. On February 15, 1950, GMD military police killed traders petitioning for tax cuts in Taipei. On February 21, citizens of Taipei organized strikes, school strikes, and market strikes. They surrounded the Chief Executive's Office, the police station, the Nissan Disposal Committee, TV Taipei and other agencies, set fire to the Taipei Monopoly Branch, and even began to rob military warehouses and release prisoners from prison. Prisoners constantly clashed with soldiers and police. The revolting people also sent messages to the whole country through the phone?? broadcast, accusing the GMD military and police of atrocities and calling on the people of Taiwan to rise up and resist. People across Taiwan heard the news and responded in groups, besieging local agencies and departments. Since GMD had just taken over Taiwan at that time, everything was adapting, and their elite troops were severely depleted on the mainland, which was no longer enough to maintain social stability. Under such circumstances, the revolting masses quickly took control of all areas except Kaohsiung and Keelung, and the GMD lost control of the situation in the entire Taiwan Province. However, in the face of the angry people who revolted, the Nationalist Government determined that this was a "riot" led by the Chinese Communist Party, and deployed the elite troops who retreated to Taiwan to suppress it bloodyly. Half a month later, the "February 8th Uprising" in Taiwan failed and failed under the suppression of GMD. A large number of Taiwanese citizens, students and social celebrities, including professors, writers, and doctors, were massacred. The exact death toll is difficult to calculate, some say 30,000. In addition, many people were arrested, fled and disappeared. Although after the incident, Chen Yi, the then Taipei garrison commander, was dismissed by Chiang Kai-shek and executed. But the brutal rule of the Kuomintang government in Taiwan has been spread far and wide in the footsteps of reporters. Including Hong Kong, when many people mention Taiwan, they think of bloodshed, wanton oppression and killing, countless hungry people crying in the cold wind, and indifferent streets where almost no one dares to speak. Therefore, these things, coupled with the earnest instructions from his father Liu Tianhang before coming here, Liu Yuanjin had always been a little wary when he first arrived in Tai Wan. If Luo Jiawen hadn't told him about Lin Zixuan's status in Tai Wan before he came, he would have been I didn't dare to come at all. Although he also wants to have a career, no matter how good his career is, he has to live to enjoy it! So compared to your own life, no matter how good your career is, it is bullshit. He even thought about whether he would provoke the military police by speaking inadvertently at one time, and then be taken to prison, tortured, and then beaten into submission. However, when he set foot on the land of Taiwan, he had to admit that all of this was just the delusion of a college student who had just entered society. "Because life in Taipei is not as dark as I imagined or what the newspapers said. If you don't ask about current affairs and politics and other related sensitive topics, the security here is actually much better than in Hong Kong. Because most of those who dared to cause trouble in this territory have been brutally suppressed by Chiang Kai-shek's troops. "However, all this is just a random thought when I am fine. This does not mean that my life will get better and better, because my partner is the legendary Demon King. The general manager of Xinya Hotel is the legendary "Miss Kong Er", known as the "devil queen", who is famous for being domineering and unreasonable. If she is not the niece of Lao Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, if she is not Kong Xiangxi's treasure My daughter, it¡¯s hard to say whether she can survive until now? But think about it, if it weren't for these bosses with rich backgrounds, she might not be so arrogant? Putting aside everything else, New Asia Hotel is not far from the Presidential Palace. You must know that the place in front of the Presidential Palace is extremely lively. The Jieshou Road in front is very quiet. People must keep their heads down if they want to pass by. Moreover, motorcycles, bicycles and other vehicles are prohibited here. However, Miss Kong Er didn't know what her original idea was, and she actually put the no-travel sign on Jieshou Road at the intersection where the New Asia Hotel is located. As a result, not only was this behavior not criticized by the traffic department, but the Taipei Police Department made another prohibition sign and put it back. In addition to admiring Kong Lingjun's arrogance, he also felt extremely disapproving of this. Because he believes that as a hotel, the most important thing is to be popular. Only with popularity can customers come in. Now banning all kinds of vehicles at this entrance will only make the hotel's business become more and more deserted and worse. Therefore, he felt that the no-travel sign at the door should be put back, and a few more small squares should be opened in front of the hotel to allow citizens to dance and keep fit at night. And this can only be a good wish in his own mind, although he thinks it is very correct. Unfortunately, Miss Kong Er, who always dressed in men's clothing, dismissed his suggestion. Even when he was about to say a few words, he saw that the teacup in Miss Kong Er's hand had already separated from him. The control flew towards him. If he hadn't run fast at that time, he might have had his head exploded. "Why is it so difficult to do something?" The entrance to the hotel is still very deserted, and the sun above the head is dazzlingly white, but not so blazing. It makes people feel "lost" for no reason. Liu Yuanjin touched his head and suddenly felt the urge to go home. It seems that my father is right, Taiwan is not that easy to mess around with. "Director Liu." "Huh?" Reluctantly turning his head, Liu Yuanjin saw the pretty woman, "It's you, what's the matter?""What? From the look of you, you're secretly angry, right?" Qi Mingming smiled and looked at the young boy in front of him, who was still a little aloof. "Do you feel wronged?" "No, no!" Liu Yuanjin hurriedly said Shake his head. How could he, a dignified man, admit that he had been wronged in front of a woman? Moreover, this woman has a very close relationship with her boss. The most important thing is that her grievance also comes from a woman. Although that woman does not look like a woman, this kind of thing involves herself as a man. The dignity of a person means that even if he is beaten to death, he will change his story. There must be no ambiguity. "Since you are not wronged, why did you rush to the hotel door and sigh? How old are you, do you have so many worries? You know, if you start sighing at such a young age, you will be old very quickly!" Qi Mingming added smiled. "Don't talk nonsense, what does sighing have to do with aging quickly?" Liu Yuanjin asked unceremoniously. "Sighing too much means that you are depressed and worried." Qi Mingming walked to his side gently, revealing two rows of small and neat teeth, "As a young man, you should obviously be like ten o'clock in the morning. When the sun is shining and heating up, it is the most beautiful time for a person. Isn¡¯t it a sign that you are aging quickly when you look so lackluster? Even if you look fine and young now, as time goes by, You will definitely appear to be much older than your peers, because your mentality is already old. " "You are still talking about me? How old are you, aren't we just about the same age? Besides, I don't think you are lecturing people in the morning? What's so good about the sun at ten o'clock? If you don't believe me, just take a look." Liu Yuanjin curled his lips and pointed at the sun hanging above the gray sky, "Just like the sun today, you feel it warms you. "It's not warm, but" Qi Mingming squeezed his shoulders, "But it's just your own feeling. It's just like you." You shouldn¡¯t lose confidence just yet when you put your ideas into practice. How many days have you been in this hotel? You should think of another way. If this method doesn¡¯t work, you should try another one. The question of how many days to come is not a question of whether or not a solution can be found. The whole problem lies with the woman inside. As long as she is here, this hotel will not be able to continue running. No one will feel sorry for a hotel that is sparse. Interested?" Liu Yuanjin said angrily. He knew that the beauty in front of him and himself were both sent to the hotel by Lin Zixuan, and she was also Lin Zixuan's woman. Therefore, he always thought that this woman was in the same trench as him, and the age difference between the two was not much different, so he didn't have any big scruples about talking. The worst he could do was quit and go home. No matter how powerful Kong Lingjun is, we can't arrest him, right? He didn't understand it before he came, but after he came, he realized how much influence Lin Zixuan had in Taiwan. Even living in the president's house, is this a treatment that ordinary people can have? And as one of the only two close subordinates of such a big man in Taiwan, he is relatively confident in his identity. "Do you think this hotel can continue to operate if that woman is replaced?" Qi Mingming asked. "Of course, if she doesn't cause trouble, I am confident that I can run this hotel well." Liu Yuanjin looked proud. "If she quits this hotel, it will be the day this hotel closes down." Qi Mingming said. "Why?" "Why?" Qi Mingming patted his forehead and said helplessly, "You don't know who that woman is! You don't know where this is!" "Of course I know." He said this , Liu Yuanjin came to his senses, "But this is no reason for her to act recklessly!" "Do you think a hotel must have people coming and going to be considered prosperous?" Seeing Liu Yuanjin's dissatisfaction, Qi Mingming shook his head and smiled again. asked. "What's the point? What is a hotel for? Isn't it just for people to stay?" Liu Yuanjin replied. "But do you know that the reason why Lingjun put the no-travel sign on Jieshou Road on our road was my idea." Qi Mingming suddenly laughed. "You?" Liu Yuanjin was startled, then shook his head repeatedly, "Now I'm very annoyed, can you stop joking. And you are so capable, how could you make such a stupid move?" "Don't underestimate me. , If you are really arrogant, even Lingjun can't compare with me." Qi Mingming smiled softly, "Actually, the reason why I suggested that Lingjun put the no-travel sign here was mainly because there were a lot of people around here, and sometimes there were so many people. It's very crowded. But among so many people, there are very few people who belong to our hotel's customer base. Even if there are, seeing how crowded the entrance of our hotel is, the crowd?It's so complicated, and most of them go elsewhere. " "Then, you can't drive people away. Wouldn't this obviously make other hotels rich? This does not comply with our business rules! "Seeing how seriously Qi Mingming said it, Liu Yuanjin believed it, but he still felt puzzled. "It doesn't comply with the business rules? Haha, what are the hotel's operating rules? Being able to attract guests, make them stay and be satisfied is our rule for running a hotel. "Qi Mingming smiled and shook his head, "Silly boy, don't forget that this is Taiwan, not European and American countries. I know what the current political situation in Taiwan is like even if I don't tell you. It is very complicated, and The economic situation is not very good either. Under the current circumstances, how many foreign guests can there be? Even if there are any, they are from government agencies. Since they are from government agencies, they will not stay here? Therefore, if we want to run our hotel well, we must focus on the dignitaries in Taiwan. " "What's the meaning? "Liu Yuanjin was stunned again. "Hey, why don't you understand such a simple path? I don't think you are quite smart? "Qi Mingming shook his head. "This is completely different from what I learned. "Liu Yuanjin thought for a while and replied. "Of course it's different. Under what circumstances were the things you learned when you were in school actually operated, and what are the circumstances now. And hotels are divided into different grades. There are ordinary hotels suitable for ordinary travelers, and there are also high-end hotels suitable for wealthy and prestigious customers. Just like those big hotels in European and American countries that you have always remembered. Although their service is very good and they will even treat a beggar with the same attitude as facing God, that situation is rare after all. You have to know that our country has been a country that pays great attention to identity and status since ancient times, which is what we often call face. If you allow those high-ranking officials to live with a group of people whose status is far lower than themselves, they will definitely not be happy and think that you are not taking care of their face and that you are trampling on their dignity. Although we all know that everyone is born equal and there is no distinction between high and low, the reality of society automatically divides people into three, six or nine levels. This situation is very common even in European and American countries, because they have so-called aristocrats. "Qi Mingming said lightly, "So, cleaning up the originally noisy roads will make them appear quiet. At least it will allow customers to have a good sleep after another tiring day. This will first achieve the first goal of those customers. Require. Secondly, New Asia Hotel is also one of the highest-end hotels in Taiwan. It is second to none in the whole of Taiwan. Did you know that many dignitaries want to choose to stay here? Although I still don't know exactly how the star hotel you mentioned is rated, but I know that our hotel should be regarded as a four-star or above standard. If people find the environment in such a high-end hotel like ours to be noisy, do you think they will come back next time? You must know that these dignitaries are quite picky! " "Won't. "Liu Yuanjin sighed. "That's it. "Qi Mingming smiled slightly and said, "There is nothing wrong with what Ling Jun did. Her behavior may seem arrogant, but in fact it attracts more customers to the hotel. Even those potential customers you often talk about will have a good impression of our hotel. , which is completely in line with the fundamental interests of the hotel, that is, profitability. " "Since General Manager Kong is so capable, what are we doing here? Liu Yuanjin asked a little lonely. "Of course I'm monitoring her!" "Qi Mingming smiled. "What surveillance? Don't be kidding me. "I didn't expect Qi Mingming to be so straightforward. When he saw a greeter standing not far away, his eyes seemed to be slanting this way, Liu Yuanjin hurriedly pretended to be indifferent, and secretly asked Qi Mingming. He winked. ¡°Are you kidding me? This is what is true. We not only monitor her, but also prevent her from doing anything harmful to the interests of the hotel. Because our boss got it through abnormal means, he was afraid that the person inside would be dissatisfied and do something that would damage the interests of the hotel, so we two existed. " Qi Mingming winked playfully. Seeing his embarrassed look, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "You don't have to look around. This hotel is Lingjun's property, so she is the owner of everything here. It's useless for you to pretend to be wearing eyeliner, not to mention you don't pretend to look like it. And it¡¯s clear to everyone why the two of us are here. " "Vice President Qi, there are some things that you can't talk about casually, but I am. . . . "Facing Qi Mingming's boldness, Liu Yuanjin was so nervous that his heart skipped a beat. Are you kidding me? The general manager inside is the second young lady of the Kong family! When he came, his father personally confessed: I would rather offend Boss Lin than the stupid Kong Er! It was just a tacit understanding before, but now Qi Mingming actually revealed his identity to the public.If you put it out there, wouldn't it make Miss Kong Er unable to get off the stage? What if you make the other party angry? That "man" can kill someone at any time. "Okay, okay." I saw the boy sweating on his forehead. Qi Mingming felt funny and a little helpless, but he could only wave his hands with a wry smile, "Don't worry, no one will cause trouble for you. Even if Lingjun is here, she won't pay attention to you after hearing what I say. Yes. If she really wants to find someone to settle the score, she will only go to our big boss and will not bully little fish like you and me. " "Vice President Qi, are you serious?" asked hesitantly. "Of course what she said is true!" A woman in a suit with a slicked back hair suddenly walked out of the small door. Ignoring the people around her, she came up and hugged Qi Mingming's slim waist, pulling her close. After reaching his body, he looked at the pale Liu Yuanjin coldly, "Do you think you are an important person? You want me to deal with it, hum!" "Don't say so absolutely, haven't you heard that sentence? Famous saying? It's better to bully a white-headed man than a poor young man." Qi Mingming leaned on her shoulder and smiled. "I bully him? He deserves it. Why, do you feel bad?" Kong Lingjun reached out and pinched the delicate face of his former wife, "Aren't you afraid that your boss Lin will be jealous?" "I heard that Japanese women are very good at serving men. He is top-notch. Even if he is jealous, it should be me who is jealous of him. It is not his turn to be jealous of me." Qi Mingming sighed softly, "He doesn't know which woman's gentle land he is in right now. It's a good time!" "Hahaha. The sour taste is really real." Kong Lingjun laughed, "Now you know that men are not good at all," Qi Mingming said softly. "That's good, I like it." Kong Lingjun clapped his hands and smiled. "You know that men are bad, so why do you still think about being a man?" Qi Mingming suddenly asked. Kong Lingjun was startled, then laughed: "Damn girl, are you waiting for me here? Be careful, don't think that I won't dare to deal with you if you don't follow me now. Your backer is still in Japan, and there is no one to protect you now. "Who said that?" Qi Mingming stood up from Kong Lingjun's shoulder and smiled charmingly, "That man who is not a thing has already left a big backer for me in the presidential palace!" "It's not Pan Qiuyi. Is she just a small colonel? "Kong Lingjun smiled disdainfully. "Really? But as far as I know, Sister Qiu Yi and your sister have a very good relationship, and they have become closer recently." Qi Mingming said with a sweet smile, "The most important thing is that you, Miss Kong Er, took advantage of her last time After marrying Colonel Pan, you owed him a huge debt. Although he didn't ask you to pay it back, Miss Kong Er is not the kind of person who refuses to acknowledge her debt. Don't you think so? " "You think that's all you do? Can you win over me with just a few words?" Kong Lingjun said with a smile. "It depends on what you think." Qi Mingming also smiled. ¡°Now I just want to wait for your backer to come back and think of a way to deal with him, okay?¡± Kong Lingjun snorted coldly. "It's a very good idea, but it can only be regarded as an idea." Qi Mingming raised his thumb in surprise. It can only be an idea? Doesn't this mean that he can't deal with Lin Zixuan in reality? Kong Lingjun rolled his eyes, but just smiled, but did not really call Qi Mingming Zhen'er. Because she knew that she was only good at talking, and if she really wanted to deal with Lin Zixuan, she didn't have that much power. This is what I learned after suffering several losses at the hands of Lin Zixuan, that is, never compete with that guy. As for Qi Mingming's words, although it hurt her self-esteem, she was not angry. Firstly, what they said is right, secondly what? After all, the two of them had a good time. They had been a couple for one night and had been a couple for a hundred days. They had been "husband and wife" for several years. Although they were "separated", what did they occasionally quarrel with? "Why don't you say anything? Do you think what I said is right?" Seeing that Kong Lingjun didn't speak, Qi Mingming asked with a smile. "What's wrong? I'm too lazy to gossip with you, a damn girl." Knowing that he had no advantage in talking in front of Qi Mingming, Kong Lingjun sneered, looked at his watch again, raised his legs and walked towards the street. "I still have something to do. I'll talk about it tomorrow." "You haven't gotten off work yet? You are violating the hotel rules and regulations!" Qi Mingming shouted from behind. "Want to take care of me? Let's wait until your useless man comes back." Kong Lingjun waved his hand and walked away without looking back. "Just leaving like that?" Liu Yuanjin remained silent. Although Kong Lingjun said just now that he would not deal with him, that look still made him very nervous But he didn't expect that a person who put so much pressure on him would be so kind to the soft-looking Qi Mingming in front of him. He was working for Lin Zixuan. Why didn't she give him a good look? "Of course I'm leaving like this, are you going to run away?" Looking at Liu Yuanjin's stupid look. Qi Mingming shook his head and smiled, "Go back, kid, I'm not off work yet!" "Well, Vice President Qi, what do you think of the advice I gave you last time?" Liu Yuanjin suddenly asked. "What's your suggestion?" "It's the suggestion of establishing a joint venture with a foreign hotel!" "This! You go back and wash your face first, and then come back to me when you wake up!" Qi Mingming said. "Aren't you saying that I'm daydreaming?" Liu Yuanjin reacted. "The reaction speed this time is pretty good, and there is still hope." After Qi Mingming finished speaking, he walked into the hotel. Liu Yuanjin stood here alone, not knowing what to do for a while.
