Tang Yiying took a few puffs of her cigarette and asked, "Why did you choose me?"

Xian Yaowen's fingers slowly slid from Tang Yiying's arm to her chest, "By the way."

"Sleep with me and find me, or find me and sleep with me?"

Xian Yaowen chuckled and said, "If I say it's the former, would you believe it?"

"Do not believe."

"I don't believe it myself." Xian Yaowen's hand continued to move down and stopped at Tang Yiying's lower abdomen. "From you, I found that the palace secrets and secret recipes are not nonsense. You have taken good care of yourself and have good skills. I am lucky."

"You are too ignorant." Tang Yiying said sarcastically, "The royal family holds all the resources in the world, so how could they not have good things in their hands?"

"You're right, I'm ignorant." Xian Yaowen said calmly.

"Huh!" Tang Yiying was surprised and looked up at Xian Yaowen's face. "You didn't get angry when I said that?"

"Why are you angry?" Xian Yaowen pushed Tang Yiying away, got out of bed, and put on his shorts from the chair. "I know what I know, and I don't know what I don't know. I really don't know much about the royal family."

He picked up his trousers and put them on, adjusting his belt as he said, "I heard that you were raised in the palace by Concubine Jin since you were young, and the servants in the palace respectfully call you Gege. Concubine Jin is your aunt, so she is also half a princess.

In 1945, Concubine Jin's tomb was robbed, but you did nothing and brought her relics to Hong Kong to sell. You really shouldn't have done that."

He put on his vest, put on his shirt, and buttoned up his clothes slowly. "What kind of person you were before has nothing to do with me, but from today on, you have a relationship with me. You help me with things, and I will give you a decent life, and take care of you in your old age, and all you need to pay is loyalty.

I need you to do something respectable and I won’t humiliate you, so I accept that you will leave after you get tired of me, but I cannot accept betrayal. Once you betray me…”

Xian Yaowen chuckled at Tang Yiying, "I'm not very familiar with the Eastern royal family, but I do know something about the secrets of the Western royal family. The Spanish royal family has a kind of punishment that was invented specifically for the female members of the family. It's very interesting, but I hope you're not interested."

"Who said anything about doing things for you?"

"Have some shame, you're two years older than me. If I didn't want you to do something for me, would I sleep with you?"

"Who of us is shameless?" Tang Yiying spat, "You broke into my house and forced me to sleep with you..."

"Wow, it turns out that women are unreasonable no matter their age. Even if I forced you at the beginning, it was less than half an hour in total. Who forced who in the next hour and three quarters of an hour?"

Xian Yaowen lifted the hem of his shirt and pointed at the cuts on his waist. "Take a look at yourself. This is the evidence of my crime. Look at your own face. You look at least ten years younger. It will take me at least three months to replenish the essence you sucked away."

Tang Yiying blushed slightly and spat, "How can you be so outspoken?"

"You really think you are a princess. How can I say anything about what you did?"

"I don't want to talk to you, please go away."

"Walk your ass off, get up and get dressed, I'll take you to dinner."

"No." Tang Yiying was as shy as an eighteen-year-old girl.

"Don't act young, show the temperament of an old woman." Xian Yaowen deliberately muttered: "I want to feel the vitality of youth, so I will find someone younger. Why should I waste my time on an old woman like you?"

Tang Yiying laughed angrily, "Your words are like knives, stabbing people in the heart."

"Hurry up and get up. There are dozens of concubines waiting for my favor. If you continue to make trouble, I will banish you to the cold palace."

"Hahaha, you've listened to too many operas, so you can believe what they say?" Tang Yiying laughed, put out the cigarette in her hand, got out of bed, took out a black cheongsam from the closet, and gestured at her chest, "Does this look good on me?"

"It looks good, but I'm tired of it. I have two Oriental women who used to dress like this."

"A widow?"

"Wow." Xian Yaowen was surprised, "The princess is really knowledgeable."

Tang Yiying rolled her eyes, put the black cheongsam back into the closet, and took out a black and white plaid dress with a deep V-neck, "What about this one?"

"very good."

One o'clock in the afternoon, Datong Restaurant.

In the private room on the second floor, there was a table filled with leftovers and three sets of bowls and plates, and Chen Yan was sitting alone.

Xian Yaowen and Tang Yiying sat down next to her, "Who are you eating with?"

"Ayue, Amei."

"They both got up so early?"

"Bring your sisters to pay respect to the Second Uncle."

"Oh." Xian Yaowen gestured to Tang Yiying, "Do you need me to introduce you?"

Chen Yan nodded to Tang Yiying and said, "Ms. Tang, I'm Chen Yan."

"Ayan is my secretary. She has good relationships with gangs and policemen. You can look for her if you have any problems in the future."

Tang Yiying nodded gently towards Chen Yan, "Miss Chen, I have heard of your great name."

"Miss Tang, you can come to me if you have anything." Chen Yan smiled and said, "Sir, I'll leave first. I need to drink tea today."

"Well, dinner tonight."

After Chen Yan left, Xian Yaowen called the waiter to clean up the table and take new orders.

Tang Yiying was a regular customer, and she was the one who ordered the food. She quickly ordered a few dishes, and soon, there were only two people left in the box.

"Chen Yan is your woman?"

“She just does things for me.”

"I heard her mistress is very resourceful."

"There is no connection, I don't know." Xian Yaowen poured a cup of tea for Tang Yiying.

"What's your relationship with Zheng Yueying? There are rumors that you took over Li Caifa's business, and Zheng Yueying is your right-hand man, helping you sell drugs."

"Nonsense." Xian Yaowen sneered, "Zheng Yueying and I do have a relationship, otherwise Li Caifa's deal wouldn't have fallen into her hands, but it's definitely not what you think. Well, there's no need to ask me about my background. I'll tell you everything I can. Let your brain rest and we'll have a quiet meal."

"it is good."

"You won't stay in Taipei for too long, maybe two to three months at the shortest, or five to half a year at the longest. Then you can come back and help me collect some fine items, national treasure-level items. It doesn't have to be many, just three to five pieces a year will be enough. The rest of the time you can do some antique trading to supplement yourself.

But one thing is, be smarter and stop being so foolish as to make counterfeits and sell them yourself. Not everyone will admit their mistakes after being fooled."

"I admit that I have sold counterfeits, but it wasn't always my fault before. There were a few times when buyers wanted to take my things for free and falsely accused me of being counterfeits," Tang Yiying said angrily.

"I don't know the truth. I believe what you say. But it is true that you have sold counterfeits and it is also true that you were caught. In the antique business, you cheated me and I cheated you. It is just a group of scammers cheating each other. It is not shameful to sell counterfeits, but it is shameful to be caught and caught.

The first things you make a move on are Pu Jie's inscriptions, Concubine Jin's private collections, or the Palace Museum's collections, all of which are incredible treasures. You should have spent more time slowly planning, choosing the right items to focus on. You shouldn't have stood on the stage. Once you succeed, you should have taken a break for a while before making the next order.

But you, you sold the fine goods as cabbage, not only did you not make any money, but you also got yourself into trouble. Gege, you have a wide range of knowledge, but this is all you can do. "

Tang Yiying said angrily: "I am a woman and I need to eat."

"That's a really good reason." Xian Yaowen hugged Tang Yiying, "You don't have to worry about food in the future. Just do things well."

"I am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, literature, etiquette and music."

"Oh, do you still need someone to take over the responsibility now?"

"You should stop talking about the past all the time." Tang Yiying said in a coquettish tone.

"Good good."

The two of them were eating and talking in the box. When they finished their meal at 2:30 and walked out of the box, they ran into a man head-on.

When the man saw Tang Yiying, he glared at her and scolded her, "Tang Yiying, you are an old slut. Return my subscription money, not the money. I will ask a prostitute to find you and feed you tomorrow."

"Chen Ada, the matter is over, what else do you want?"

"I……"

"Mr. Chen." Xian Yaowen waved his hand to interrupt Chen Ada's words and said calmly, "I am Xian Yaowen. It is not nice for a man and a woman to quarrel in public. Tell me what's going on. If Mr. Chen is right, I will pay for Miss Tang."

Chen Ada only noticed Xian Yaowen at this moment. When he heard the name "Xian Yaowen", he felt that he seemed to be unreasonable. He clasped his fists and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Xian. I didn't notice it just now. It's just a small matter between Miss Tang and me. Don't worry about it, Mr. Xian."

"No, Mr. Chen, when you say that, it seems like I, Xian, am using my power to bully others. I can't bear the consequences. Please wait a moment." Xian Yaowen looked at Tang Yiying and asked, "Are you wrong or is he wrong? I want to hear the truth."

"he……"

Snapped!
Xian Yaowen slapped Tang Yiying in the face. It seemed like he slapped her very hard, but in fact he used skillful force. However, Tang Yiying, who was beaten, still looked at him in disbelief.

The slap hurt Tang Yiying's face and also hurt Chen A'da's liver. His liver was trembling and he wanted to die. All of them, the gray merchants from Shanghai, knew Li Caifa and Ritz Garden. Li Caifa disappeared and Ritz Garden fell into the hands of Xian Yaowen, who ran it well. No one from either the black or white world came to cause trouble for it. This was enough to show what kind of person Xian Yaowen was.

Well, the fact that Tang Yiying was slapped by Xian Yaowen means that the relationship between them is not simple. It seems that he is in big trouble.

"I want to hear the truth." Xian Yaowen said coldly.

Tang Yiying said with a wronged look on her face: "I was wrong."

"How many?"

"Ten thousand."

Hearing this, Xian Yaowen turned to look at Chen Ada with a warm smile on his face, "Mr. Chen, we have figured out what happened. It was Miss Tang's fault. I apologize to you on her behalf."

"Mr. Xian, it's just a small matter, forget it, forget it." Chen Ada said in a flattering manner.

"Ten thousand yuan is not a small amount of money. How can we just let it go?" Xian Yaowen stretched his hand back and the checkbook was in his palm. He took out a pen from his pocket, filled out a check while standing there, tore it off, and handed it to Chen Ada, "Mr. Chen, twelve thousand. Ten thousand is compensation to you, and two thousand is for apology. I apologize again."

Chen Ada looked at the number on the check, feeling anxious. He didn't dare to take it. He really didn't dare to take it. "Mr. Xian, I, I..."

Xian Yaowen stuffed the check into Chen Ada's suit pocket and said, "Mr. Chen, please keep it. I'll treat you to tea next time. Bye."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xian Yaowen put his arm around Tang Yiying's shoulders and took her downstairs.

After getting into the car, he took Tang Yiying, who had a dark face, into his arms and said, "I never hit women, but I broke the rule for you today."

"You hit me, do you still want me to thank you?"

"Is your wisdom all in seducing men? A slap in the face and a check helped you deal with all the previous messes." Xian Yaowen looked out the window, "I still overestimated you. I thought your way of playing would be more sophisticated, but I didn't expect it to be the most basic way."

Although Chen Ada did not explain the matter clearly, he could clearly outline it. It was estimated that Chen Ada wanted to buy goods from Tang Yiying and paid a deposit of 10,000 yuan. However, during the transaction, Tang Yiying gave him a fake product. Chen Ada saw through it and refused to pay the balance. Tang Yiying smashed the cup as a signal, and the executioners who were ambushing outside filed out and forced Chen Ada to admit defeat.

Tang Yiying stroked her face and calmed down to think. After a moment, she understood what Xian Yaowen said. She said shyly, "I misunderstood you."

"It doesn't matter. As long as you can figure it out, who did you work with before?"

"Teochew guy."

"There are many Teochews, which one?"

"Chenghai Gang."

"Do you owe him anything? A favor? Money?"

"I don't owe you anything."

"Give you one chance to answer again."

Tang Yiying blurted out, "I'm telling the truth."

"Think carefully before answering."

"I don't owe the Chenghai Gang anything." Tang Yiying spoke in a very firm tone.

"Okay, I believe you." Xian Yaowen nodded and said to Qi Longque, "Go to Jin Manfu."

The car crossed the sea and arrived at Observatory Road in Tsim Sha Tsui. As soon as we got off the car, Wang Jingping, the manager of Jin Manfu, came to greet us, followed by a woman.

"Xiansheng."

"Manager Wang, who is this lady?"

Xian Yaowen thought it was time to change the car. His Saab 92 was too eye-catching and people who shouldn't know him already knew him.

Without waiting for Wang Jingping to introduce her, the woman came up to him and said delicately, "Mr. Xian, I'm Xiaodie."

"Hello." Xian Yaowen nodded indifferently, feeling disgusted by the woman who did not take the initiative to introduce herself and even gave her last name.

Wang Jingping was much more sensible and added on behalf of the woman: "Mr. Xian, Miss Su is Mr. Liu's confidante."

"Oh, Manager Wang, please go back to work. I'll go around by myself."

"Ok."

Xian Yaowen nodded to Su Xiaodie again and walked into the store with Tang Yiying.

Compared to the last time I came here, the layout of Jin Manfu has basically not changed, except that there are more types of gold items on the counter, such as gold medals with the word "longevity", gold longevity peaches, gold zodiac signs, and samples of fortune, wealth and longevity. The two most conspicuous counters are filled with samples of various birthday gifts, while rings, earrings, bracelets and the like are placed in inconspicuous positions.

With this display, it is easy to see what kind of gold items are selling well in the store.

"Take out the golden longevity peach and show it to me."

"Okay, Mr. Xian."

Xian Yaowen picked up the golden longevity peach that the waiter had placed on the counter and took a look under the base. He saw the words "Jin Man Fu" engraved underneath. He picked up the golden longevity peach again and took a look at the bottom. He also saw the words "Jin Man Fu" engraved on it, but the font was slightly different. He probably had a secret mark.

This kind of birthday gold items should be excluded from the normal flow of the store. With the two big Buddha statues of Yao Mu and Liu Fu, the police force basically monopolizes most of the business.

The prices at Jin Man Fu are no more expensive than those at other stores, and the ingredients used are also genuine. If any policeman dares not to patronize here when he needs something, it would be a clear sign of not giving face.

After asking the waiter to put the golden birthday peach back, Xian Yaowen took Tang Yiying to the counter of gold bracelets, took a look and asked, "Do you like any?"

"I don't like wearing bracelets. I'm not used to having something hanging on my hands." Tang Yiying showed her two empty wrists.

"You can't even wear a watch?"

"Ah."

"Do you have a watch?"

"There is a pocket watch."

"The old pocket watch is not accurate. Hamilton has a railroad pocket watch with an error of only ±30 seconds a week. I will order one for you."

"it is good."

When the two of them came to the counter of the gold ring, Liu Fu appeared in the store and greeted Xian Yaowen, "Awen, you are here."

Xian Yaowen went over to him and said with a smile, "Uncle Liu, why are you here so early?"

"The police station has no cases, so come over early to have tea." Liu Fu said with a smile: "You, no matter how small your shares are, you are still a shareholder. I haven't seen you come here since the opening."

"Uncle Liu and Uncle Yao are taking care of me here. I feel relieved and am just waiting for the dividends at the end of the year."

"Ha, you poor fellow." Liu Fu nodded at Xian Yaowen, "Let's go to the back and have some tea."

"Okay."

There is a small office in the store, which was carved out from the area of ​​the vault. It is cramped, and a small area was carved out in the middle to put a tea table, making it cramped and shabby.

Xian Yaowen and Liu Fu were sitting, and Tang Yiying and Su Xiaodie who followed in could only stand behind them respectively.

Liu Fu prepared some tea and poured a cup for Xian Yaowen. "Ah Wen, the business in the store is good. Chief Inspector Yao and I both think it's time to open a branch in Hong Kong Island."

Xian Yaowen picked up the teacup and asked, "Manager Zhou, do you have any different opinions?"

"I haven't told him yet." Liu Fu picked up the teacup and took a sip. "There are only a few places in Hong Kong that are suitable for opening a gold shop."

Xian Yaowen hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll talk to him and hear what he thinks."

"It would be best if you came forward." Liu Fu put down the teacup and glanced at Tang Yiying. "Awen, my matter is still a little bit off, I would like to ask you for help."

It was no secret that Yao Mu's old knee injury had flared up, and it was no secret that Liu Fu was planning to take over Yao Mu's job. Xian Yaowen could naturally understand what Liu Fu was saying.

"Uncle Liu, if you need anything, just let me know."

"I was waiting for you to say that." Liu Fu said with a cheerful smile, "With your help, I will definitely succeed."

"Uncle Liu, I feel so stressed when you say that." Xian Yaowen chuckled.

Liu Fu nodded at Xian Yaowen again, picked up the teacup and said, "Drink tea."

Xian Yaowen raised his cup to greet him. Liu Fu took a sip and pointed at Su Xiaodie. "Xiaodie wants to open a beauty salon and is looking for a place. I think no place is better than Li Chi Garden. Ah Wen, give her a room and let her pay the rent and some dividends. What do you think?"

Xian Yaowen looked at Su Xiaodie, "Miss Su, what business do you plan to run in your beauty salon?"

"Perming, eyebrow shaping, skin care, makeup, manicure."

"Whose business do you want to do?"

"A dancer, a socialite, a rich lady from North Point."

"The positioning is very clear." Xian Yaowen nodded, looked at Liu Fu and said, "Uncle Liu, to be honest, Ritz Garden originally planned to open an affiliated beauty salon. If Miss Su wants to run a business in Ritz Garden, she can only form a partnership with Ritz Garden."

"I couldn't ask for more. When it comes to doing business, who in Hong Kong can be sharper than you, Awen?" Liu Fu looked at Su Xiaodie, "Xiaodie, listen to Awen on business matters. With him taking care of you, you'll be fine."

"Uncle Liu, you're exaggerating. I can't make a pig's head fly, but I can still put a pig cage into water."

"Hahaha, same, same."

Amid Liu Fu's loud laughter, Su Xiaodie smiled at Xian Yaowen and said, "Mr. Xian, please take care of me in the future."

After sitting in Jin Manfu for more than an hour and attending the informal shareholders' meeting at which Zhou Yutong was not present, Xian Yaowen sent Tang Yiying back and then went to Ritz Garden.

As the weather was getting warmer, there were many guests in the swimming pool, including many beautiful girls. As soon as Xian Yaowen arrived at the Ritz Garden, he went to the edge of the swimming pool and swept his eyes over the girls. He didn't care about their appearance, only looked at their swimsuits or underwear.

The store has been secretly selling for some time, and although the cheapest style is as high as US$12 per piece, the performance is still encouraging. The daily turnover of the two stores in Paris and New York is more than US$8000, and about % of the customers come from other cities.

This means that there are customers who have embarked on a cross-city journey to buy Secret, and Secret has met the basic conditions for continuing to open branches.

The result was pretty good. Xian Yaowen saw traces of the secret in the four women, one foreign girl and three oriental women with a strong Shanghai style.

Secret will not expand aggressively in Asia in recent years and will only consider opening a flagship store tentatively in Tokyo. The economies of other parts of Asia cannot support Secret's consumption, and its main customer groups will only be socialites and dancers, which is not good for Secret's brand image.

But not opening a store does not mean not doing marketing. Before Secret officially enters the market, it wants everyone to know that Secret is synonymous with high-end underwear. If a woman has never worn Secret underwear, her life has been lived in vain.

To put it more bluntly, the goal is to create the stereotype of "women wearing secret underwear = sexy, classy" in the minds of potential consumers and to tame men's aesthetic tastes.

This requires the continuous output of text, language, and text and language, that is, secret product placements in newspapers, radio, movies and television.

After paying attention to the underwear, Xian Yaowen began to care about the appearance of the women. After all, a swimming pool would attract male customers only if there were many pretty girls. If there were only a lot of pork chops, they might not come even if they paid.

With this concern, he discovered that Zhang Li had copied the atmosphere of the roller skating rink to the swimming pool. Several women would deliberately and "inadvertently" show off their big breasts to give male customers the opportunity to eat ice cream.

They did a good job, but the atmosphere group's skills are a little lacking. They didn't even cover their faces with their hands when coming out of the water. Their cultural level is too low. They don't even know the allusion of "holding the pipa half-covered". We need to arrange a knowledgeable mama-san to educate them.

Walking along the edge of the swimming pool to the roller skating rink, his eyes were quickly attracted by a little boy. He saw that the boy was carrying a thing similar to a single-cylinder engine on his back. A black cable was connected to the roller skate on his right foot. The engine was smoking and making noises similar to a lawn mower. The boy was holding something that looked like a gear shifter in his hand, controlling the roller skates to slide forward.

"Electric roller skates, so fashionable."

He was a little envious and a little jealous. He had played with this thing before, but it was already an antique when he played with it, not like it is fashionable now.

It's a pity that this thing has too many safety risks and no development prospects, otherwise he really wants to invest in it.

Some advanced inventions flashed through his mind, such as motorized scooters, electric bicycles, aircraft, etc. If he had hundreds of millions of dollars in cash now, he would invest 100 million, not for profit returns, but just for the desire to promote the development of world science and technology.

"It's a pity that I don't have so much money."

Sighing, he came to the billiard room. Surprisingly, it was packed at this hour. There were customers playing at every table. The only difference was that the combination of customers was a bit strange. They were always a man and a woman, and the women were all pretty girls.

Zhang Li is a good guy. He just casually mentioned the idea of ​​having a beautiful girl as a sparring partner, but he didn't expect that it would actually happen and he did a good job in doing so.

Look at the woman's club-shooting posture, it's obvious that she has practiced before.

It's the same mistake as in the swimming pool. Why is the slit of the cheongsam so high?

He waved to a waiter he knew, and the waiter immediately trotted over, "Mr. Xian."

Xian Yaowen pointed at the sparring partner who was sitting on the side and not working, "What's her name?"

"Wang Zhongyao."

"Please bring her over."

"Ok."

After a while, Wang Zhongyao came in front of him. Xian Yaowen walked around her, carefully looking at every detail of the cheongsam. Then he took Wang Zhongyao's left hand, looked at her fingers carefully, rubbed her arm twice, then raised his arm and glanced at her armpit.

During the entire process, Wang Zhongyao did not say a word and did not show any resistance.

He glanced at Wang Zhongyao's calf and saw mild symptoms of varicose veins, which is an occupational disease for dancers. They all have some symptoms after doing it for a long time. He instantly understood where these treasures came from.

That’s right, if we don’t look for dancers, we can only look for prostitutes. Which decent daughter would come to work in Ritz Garden?

"Ms. Wang, go back first. I'll play two games with you tomorrow."

After sending Wang Zhongyao away, Xian Yaowen stayed in the billiard room for a while and then came to the office.

The office was clean but lacked vitality. There was nothing on the boss's desk that didn't belong to him, which showed that Zhang Li had reserved this office for him. (End of this chapter)
