Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Donglaishun Restaurant is a famous historical restaurant with high reputation among the time-honored brands in BJ catering industry. BJ City is a famous historical and cultural city with a history of more than 3,000 years as a city and more than 850 years as a capital. BJ’s traditional food culture is an indispensable part of BJ’s splendid historical culture. It not only integrates the essence of the Chinese nation’s traditional food culture, but is also a bright window to show the world the unique style and diversity of the Chinese nation’s food culture. .

In 1903, with the emergence of BJ's earliest and most famous Dong'an Market, brothers Ding Deshan, the founders of Donglaishun Restaurant, came to the north gate of Dong'an Market with a handcart, wooden cases and several benches, and set up a stall selling halal snacks bean juice. , grilled cakes, took the first step of hard work. A few years later, the Ding brothers opened their shop and "Donglaishun" got its name. The name of the shop was first called "Donglaishun Porridge Shop". It was small in scale, just a small wooden shed, and its business varieties were bean juice, mixed noodles, pies, and haggis.

In 1912, a fire broke out in Dong'an Market and the wooden shed was burned down. After the market was rebuilt, Ding Deshan built three tile-roofed houses in the original place, changed the sign to "Dong Laishun Mutton Restaurant", and started selling shabu-shabu. Ding Deshan was born into a poor family. When he started his business, he earned money through his own strength. After he started his business, he did not lose his true nature of diligence and frugality and continued to work hard. Because he was based on integrity, emphasized genuine products, and was good at learning from other people's business methods and production techniques, within a few years, Dong Laishun's mutton-shabu-shabu became as famous as the famous "Zhengyang Tower" in the capital at that time.

Bao Zixuan arranged to book out the entire Dong Laishun head office today to entertain staff from various provinces who wanted to meet him. After all, there are too many people I want to meet now, and it is impossible to meet them all, so I can only choose this place. It's delicious, not expensive, and most importantly, it's down-to-earth.

It won't give people the feeling of being superior. I heard that Bao Zixuan was going to entertain everyone. But when they heard it turned out to be Dong Laishun, many people thought they had heard it wrong. After repeated confirmations, I realized that it was true and what exactly did this wealthy businessman from Xiangjiang mean. Many people couldn't understand it, and finally the news reached the ears of the elderly. The old man just smiled and said, "Comrade Xiaobao, we have some ideas!"

The secretary next to him said, "Then why don't you invite him over to see you alone?"

The old man: "Next time! There are so many Xiangjiang businessmen coming this time. It's hard to meet one person alone."

It can be said that Donglaishun has never been so lively tonight, and Bao Zixuan paid enough. Moreover, the people who came were all government workers. It was beyond imagination that so many people could come at one time.

It's 6:30 in the evening, and the weather in Kyoto is already a bit dark this season. Bao Zixuan was wearing an ordinary windbreaker today, with a Chinese tunic suit underneath. He doesn't look like the richest man in Hong Kong at all. If you're not familiar with him, you might think he's just a freshly graduated college student.

The Donglaishun Hall was already filled with tables, and a steaming copper hotpot was placed on each table. Seeing this scene, Bao Zixuan felt both familiar and unfamiliar. He had never experienced this scene before.

After Bao Zixuan sat at the main table, the service staff began to serve the food. Each table is served 10 pounds of mutton first, just to experience the feeling of eating a big mouthful of meat.

Bao Zixuan stood up and said: "Everyone has been looking for me these days, and I understand what everyone means. But I can't guarantee anything here. After all, a person's energy is limited. It is impossible to do everything, but I promise you that in Heiyun and Hutchison Whampoa will send inspection teams after the year to comprehensively inspect projects in various provinces and cities. As long as they are suitable, Heiyun will not invest, and I will recommend them to other friends."

"There are too many people who want to see me these days, and some of them can't be accommodated. I apologize to everyone here, and I hope you don't mind."

"I know there is a saying in northern China, eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink wine with big bowls. Today I will take this opportunity to experience it. You all do what you can. I am also feeling the atmosphere."

After saying that, Bao Zixuan drank a small bowl of white wine. Everyone saw that the big boss of Xiangjiang was so generous. There was no way we would fall behind, so we continued working together.

This time Bao Zixuan chose Erguotou, a local liquor, just to experience it. Moreover, the people hosting the banquet were all public servants and they were afraid that others would tell them otherwise.

A total of 8 tables of guests started drinking, and Bao Zixuan also welcomed all comers. As long as everyone toasted him, everyone would drink. Seeing this situation once again refreshed people's understanding of Xiangjiang people.

It turns out that they drink quite generously! He has a very masculine look and is not as graceful when drinking as rumored.

Bao Zixuan once again used wine to conquer the people of Kyoto. In this era, many civil servants came from the battlefield. He was quite outgoing and everyone started to toast, drink and fight with each other.

Bao Zixuan didn't know how much he drank, but this time he was really drunk. This was a feeling he had never experienced before, even in some fragments.

However, it was precisely this drinking capacity and courage that allowed Bao Zixuan to make some friends. In the past, many people just wanted Bao Zixuan to invest, but now they find that this young rich man really has nothing to say, he is enthusiastic and has no sense of superiority.

People in this era are relatively simple, as long as you are sincere to them. Then he will definitely return your sincerity, it's that simple and crude.

Moreover, the staff of each provincial office in Beijing received Bao Zixuan’s approval and would send an inspection team back after the year. It is not good to push too hard, as it will be counterproductive and give people a feeling of insatiable greed.

Therefore, they also relaxed their drinking ability and drank. Everyone was a good drinker. Even though Donglaishun had prepared for it, Erguotou was still not enough. In the end, the hotel brought all the wine in stock up before they had enough to drink.

This drinking session can be said to have caused a sensation in the entire Kyoto. After all, no one thought that a Hong Kong rich man could drink so well. I was able to get nearly a hundred people drunk. Fortunately, everyone had a driver and Dong Laishun was well prepared. Calling all the service staff over to arrange for the guests to be sent off can be said to have earned the hotel a lot of reputation, and even made it famous in Xiangjiang. After all, how could a hotel that allows the richest man in Hong Kong to entertain guests be any worse!

Not to mention that in the future, many people from Xiangjiang will go to Kyoto on business trips. Donglai Shun will be a must-visit place. Through this opportunity, they will become famous all over the world.

Bao Zixuan really didn't know how he got back, but he just felt that Peng Yifei had brought someone to pick him back to the hotel. But when I woke up the next morning, I felt a little uncomfortable. After all, I drank too much wine the day before, but today I have to visit Kyoto’s cultural monuments, so I don’t want to keep people waiting. So I went to the bathroom and turned on the cold water and started rinsing my body, which was to rely on my youth. Otherwise, you really can’t stand it, but this is currently the most effective way to sober up. In just a few minutes, Bao Zixuan felt a lot more relaxed. He simply washed up and went to have breakfast.

When he came to the restaurant, he saw all the Hong Kong tycoons looking at him with strange eyes. I know I was drunk last night, but don’t use this expression!

Huo Yingdong said with concern: "Xiao Bao, you sobered up so quickly. Feel better now!"

Bao Zixuan: "Mr. Huo is worried. It's nothing serious. He just drank too much yesterday. Let everyone laugh!"

Dong Haoyun: "Xiaobao, you said you drank too much. You don't know that you are now famous in Kyoto. Do you know how much wine you drank yesterday, and how much you drank yourself!"

Bao Zixuan: "I haven't paid attention yet, but no one can count the drinks they drink!"

Bao Yugang said with a smile: "You are showing favor to businessmen like me from Xiangjiang. Your feat of fighting against No. 100 people in Kyoto last night has been spread throughout the world. It is estimated that this plot can only be found in Mr. Jin Yong's novels."
