On Gordon Road in the Public Settlement, there is an iconic three-story building with a modern and avant-garde ArtDeco architectural style. It has a gorgeous appearance, a magnificent interior, and beautiful and bright lights. It is called "Paramount Hall" and is named "Paramount Hall" in homophone.
Since its completion, "Parlem Gate" has become popular all over Shanghai. It is known as the "No. 1 Music House in the East". Its first-class jazz band and red dancers have become the first choice for the upper class to compete for beauty and social entertainment, and thus attracted countless people from society.
celebrity.
When He Qi came here for the first time, he was really surprised.
Especially the dance floor and banquet hall on the second floor. The design inside is extremely modern, with a lot of nickel, crystal and white wood decoration. The white marble spiral staircase leads to the large ballroom. The largest dance floor is about 500 square meters. The dance floor is made of

The small dance floor that can be divided at will can be used for dance practice or tryst. Especially the transparent dance floor made of glass floor on the balcony, with footlights below, makes people feel like dancing on eggs. When two people
When the entire ballroom on the first floor is in use, it can accommodate thousands of people dancing at the same time. It is also equipped with heating and cooling air conditioning and luxurious furnishings.
The neon lights made the night flicker. People were coming and going in front of the "Paramount". Six imported cars parked at the gate of the "Paramount" one after another, and about 20 people came down and stood in a row.
, uniform black clothing, full of style, attracting pedestrians to stop and watch.
He Qi got out of the car and appeared in a black trench coat, full of aura. Uncle Fu held an umbrella and walked in front, followed by several people from the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce. They all looked like Yourong. Manager Zhang with his slicked back hair was already there.
He was waiting at the door with a smile on his face.
"Mr. He, Mr. Lu is already here. He's on the second floor. Please come inside." Manager Zhang bowed and led the way, respectfully.
He Qi nodded and smiled without saying much.
"Who is this? So majestic?" someone asked.
"I know." Mr. Lu glanced at Uncle Fu, and then said: "Uncle Fu, let them serve the food. I have been here a long time ago and I am very hungry."
A handsome young man in a suit and leather shoes came in, it was Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu thought that He Qi invited him to dinner to ask for his help, but He Qi never opened his mouth. He suddenly wondered: "We are talking about business, what is she doing? I said, what kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd?"
Are all the people on the beach watching? Why don’t you show your support?”
He Qi put "Hardman" on the table.
Since it was a New Year's greeting, there was naturally a gift. He Qi took out an equity confirmation form from his pocket and just signed it. When Mr. Lu saw it, he shook his head like a rattle: "I don't want it."
"Oh!!" The man understood immediately.
Manager Zhang remained silent, turned back on the way to the dance floor, and led everyone to the most luxurious "Taiyuan" hall. Several people from the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce sat down one after another, deliberately leaving the first seat on He Qi's left.
Left for Mr. Lu.
The door of the banquet hall was closed at the right time. Manager Zhang wisely went out and stood guard at the door, waving the waiter to wait outside the door. He should not listen but not listen. This is the rule.
Mr. Lu suddenly laughed when he saw it: "Brother Qi, you are a big boss and a well-known figure in Shanghai. When you go out, dozens of people follow you, and you just smoke this?"
It's not that Mr. Lu doesn't want it, but he doesn't dare to ask for it. He is very self-aware. Even though he can dominate the sky in Shanghai, in the eyes of several young masters in the north, he is still out of reach. How can He Qi's Huizhou Chamber of Commerce be able to do so in a short period of time?
The rise of Shanghai in just one year is inseparable from several young men from the north.
Who is Lao Huang?
A leader of the Youth Gang who is known to everyone, a distinguished police detective in the French Concession, a black and white man, whoever meets Lao Huang will be given a thumbs-down.
This is also the reason why Mr. Lu never shows off in front of He Qi.
The image of Mr. Lu portrayed in the TV series is frivolous, he goes to romantic places, and his behavior is bohemian. If you really think so, you are totally wrong. In reality, Mr. Lu is both smart and frivolous.
"I'll just smoke this one. If you don't like it, you don't have to smoke anymore." He Qi said, lighting one and taking a comfortable puff.
Of course, He Qi never lacks the face that should be given.
Then he said: "If you have anything to do, just tell me, that old guy, let me settle the matter for you. It just so happens that we can settle the accounts from last time together."
"Got it?" He Qi said calmly.
When the young and energetic Mr. Lu first came to Shanghai, he did something shocking. This incident often appears in TV dramas. He beat up Lao Huang and became famous in one battle.
When the two met, they understood each other tacitly. Mr. Lu didn't feel unfamiliar at all. Without anyone saying anything, he sat directly on the reserved empty seat. He looked exactly the same and forgot to bring his cigarette. He said to He Qi: "Come here."
One."
He Qi sneered: "I'm a serious businessman, what's the point of fighting and killing? The wind and waves on Shanghai Beach are big, and the one who dances the most happily will eat copper pimples first, and can he still be a master of Mr. Lu? A few days ago
There are a lot of things that I can't get rid of. I invited you here today because I want to wish you well in your old age. I won't go to the old man's place. I will go back and say hello to you."
"No need, hurry up and serve the food." Mr. Lu went out to play, and there was no shortage of people around him to follow him. As soon as He Qiren arrived, he was notified immediately.
"Let's go to the banquet hall to dine." He Qi said.
"How many more Mr. He's are there in Shanghai?" someone asked.
"Just sign it later and give it to Uncle Fu." He Qi pointed to Uncle Fu who was waiting in the corner of the door.
"The dishes have been prepared a long time ago. Mr. He, I will go and inform Mr. Lu that you have arrived and wait in the 'Taiyuan Hall'." Manager Zhang reminded him with a very professional spirit.
"If you don't touch them, I'll share it with you personally. If you think it's too little, just say so."
"Of course, the fire was so big in the morning that everyone in the Concession could see it." Mr. Lu reminded gently.
"Oh! Just let them see. People set fire to the beach every day in Shanghai, and they don't care about my place. If you're hungry, eat quickly. Don't waste your time, lest Miss Manley wait in a hurry." He Qi didn't say anything, Feng Feng said nothing.
Light clouds.
"No, that's it." Mr. Lu frowned, lit one, and immediately choked. He was much more energetic than the "fairy", so he said sarcastically: "You smoke this cigarette, no wonder others bully you."
"Paramount" has three floors. The first floor is the kitchen and store, the second floor is the dance floor and banquet hall, and the third floor is a high-end hotel.
"How can that be possible?" When the words came to an end, Mr. Lu stopped refusing and pocketed the equity certificate.
If Boss Du hadn't come to apologize in person afterwards, Lao Huang might have been killed.
Not many people know about the second major thing Mr. Lu did, which was to kill Xu Guoliang, the former director of the security department, to relieve his father's worries. He Qi did have a little help, after all, it was Lao Qiao who did it.
The short conversation between He Qi and Mr. Lu, although it was not stated explicitly, revealed a huge amount of information. The members of the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce below, all of whom are human beings, understood it as soon as they heard it, and immediately felt something in their hearts.
The huge waves are like taking a huge reassurance.
They were originally just a small businessman from Huizhou with a little capital. At the beginning of last year, He Qi found them and formed the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce to stay together and work together to become bigger and stronger and create greater glory.
At first, everyone took a fancy to He Qi's identity and background, thinking that he could at least get protection from one party, so they agreed. Unexpectedly, the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce grew bigger and bigger. In just one year, it opened more than 20 stores in Shanghai.
Between factories, it has become a strong member of a consortium.
This made these people feel uneasy, especially since several factories in Zhabei had not been built at the end of the year, and people continued to sabotage them, and He Qi did not do anything, which was really worrying.
Unexpectedly, He Qi's background is much more than imagined. Mr. Lu beat Lao Huang without batting an eye, so who would be above Mr. Lu?
