Chapter 8

Song TIANYAO has a clear understanding of the legend of the North Point dance floor nightclub, but he has never had the opportunity to set foot in this Hong Kong entertainment holy land.

North Point dance floor nightclub, formerly known as Lichi garden nightclub, was known as the three major nightclubs in Hong Kong together with "Guangzhou Restaurant" in Hong Kong and "Bailemen" in central 49 years ago.

Although the name of Guangzhou Restaurant has the word "restaurant", it actually operates the restaurant as a dance venue. It is the first nightclub in the sense of opening in Hong Kong. That year, in 1935, prostitution was banned in Hong Kong. A large number of prostitutes were introduced into nightclubs and changed into dancers. It was Guangzhou restaurant that invented a word and bought Street clocks, After singing and dancing, you can spend money to take the dancers out of the nightclub.

It can be said that the nightclub in Hong Kong, from 1935 to 1945, for a full decade, Guangzhou restaurant was unique in the Fengyue community in Hong Kong, and it was full of vitality until the Bailemen nightclub opened in 1945.

Bailemen nightclub was founded by an English Ghost named Charlie. It is different from the traditional decoration style of Guangzhou Restaurant. Bailemen took the name of "Bailemen" on the beach and introduced modern western style. Both architecture and employees are British. This style immediately attracted all senior British officials in Hong Kong, and also enabled British businessmen doing business in Hong Kong to find entertainment holy places suitable for their tastes. From Hong Kong colonial governor to ordinary British businessmen, as long as they are British, almost all their entertainment and entertainment places will be arranged in Bailemen, which attracted many senior officials who want to bribe ghost people, Chinese tycoons who talked business with British businessmen came to Bailemen to support it. Therefore, only half a year later, Bailemen won the title of Fengyue champion of Guangzhou Restaurant and replaced it. However, it will not last long.

In 1946, Li Shufa, a Shanghai native of Hong Kong and a youth gang leader, known as "Hong Kong Du Yuesheng", opened the Lichi garden nightclub on the edge of the seven sisters Bay in North Point. If the British opened the Baile gate, it can be said that Li Shufa's Lichi garden nightclub moved all the luxury of Shanghai beach to Hong Kong.

The name of Lichi garden doesn't sound as grand as Bailemen, but it includes swimming pool, golf course, nightclub, restaurant, chess and card hall and other entertainment places. The whole nightclub is like a luxury resort. As soon as it opened, it was published in the American Life magazine of that month, which is called the largest entertainment place in the Far East, The boss Li tailoring is also called "the emperor of Hong Kong nightclub" by the magazine.

Moreover, with the help of the youth gang, Li tailor FA planned the first dancer strike in Hong Kong since the opening of the port. The object of the strike was the "Bailemen" nightclub. That night, the dancers all over Hong Kong went on strike, and all dance halls and nightclubs were closed. The dancers United to accuse Bailemen nightclub of apportioning tax deduction on them and withholding their wages.

Bailemen nightclub knew that it was planned by Li tailor, but there was nothing to do, because both public opinion and labor law were unfavorable to Bailemen nightclub. Moreover, almost all the mother sang, eldest sister and managers in the nightclub had prefix backgrounds, and no matter which prefix, it would give face to Li tailor, the elder of the Green Gang. In this strike, Three of Bailemen's four mothers sang switched to Lichi garden. Although Bailemen nightclub finally made concessions to the dancers, raised the dancers' salary and solved the matter peacefully, Lichi garden gained a good reputation among the dancers, because Lichi garden had raised the nightclub dancers' salary before planning the strike, far exceeding the average income of dancers in Hong Kong.

If 49 years ago, it was one of the three major nightclubs in Hong Kong, then 49 years later, there will be only Li tailfa's beautiful pool in Hong Kong's Fengyue arena. In 49 years, the Kuomintang was defeated and Du Yuesheng came to Hong Kong. In the same period, countless rich people from Shanghai came to Hong Kong with Du Yuesheng. It can be said that 80% of the rich businessmen in Shanghai gathered in Xiangjiang, and Li tailfa also took the opportunity to arrange people to charter a boat to Shanghai, A group of well-known figures in the service industry of Shanghai beach were invited, and all of them were hired into Lichi garden at a high salary. In one fell swoop, Lichi garden was built into a high-end consumer place, which completely opened the distance from the other two families.

For dinner, there are famous chefs invited from famous restaurants in Shanghai.

Dressing, Lichi garden is well-known in Shanghai beach. It was a tailor who once cut clothes for the president of Huaguo.

Barber: there are barbers in Lichi garden who once shaved the heads of three handsome people on the beach.

Shanghai's rich people also let a crowd of Hongkong woodlouse and the colonial ghost ghost see what wealth is called. In that newspaper, the newspaper once recorded that when Du Yuesheng came to Hong Kong in January, Ford motor vehicles sold 105 cars a month, more than twice the number sold in the previous year.

When the car is still exclusive to the rich in Hong Kong, the servants of the rich family in Shanghai can let the driver drive a Ford 49 to help deliver it to the vegetable market when they go out to buy vegetables.

Unfortunately, at that time, the car of many senior government officials in Hong Kong was only Ford 49, which meant that they were no different from the servants of the rich family in Shanghai.

The place where these Shanghai tycoons spend their evenings is Li tailfa's Lichi garden. With his contacts in Hong Kong and his identity as a Shanghainese, Li tailfa is happy between the Shanghai tycoons and the Hong Kong people.

However, wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Hong Kong is a British colony. A Chinese is actually called the emperor of Hong Kong nightclub by American magazines, and a Chinese nightclub is actually called the largest casino in the Far East. How can a good face British swallow this breath.

So, just opposite the Lichi garden nightclub, Charlie, an Englishman, opened a heavenly palace nightclub. The style of architectural decoration was completely imitated by Lichi garden. The scale of the building was larger than Lichi garden. The dancers, mother sang and manager of Lichi garden spent a lot of money to dig corners. They played charity cards on the day of opening, The director of welfare of the Hong Kong colonial government and a number of senior government officials were invited to attend, which immediately attracted countless rich people who wanted to establish a relationship with the Hong Kong colonial government into the Tiangong nightclub. The Tiangong nightclub was crowded, and the Lichi garden was full of people.

Just when everyone thought that tailor Li couldn't fight the British, at nine o'clock on the night of the opening of Tiangong nightclub, Du Yuesheng, who had never been in Hong Kong, got off the bus at the gate of Lichi garden and opposite Tiangong nightclub, and walked into Lichi garden nightclub step by step.

Du Yuesheng from Shanghai beach went to Lichi garden tonight. The news spread all over Hong Kong like the wind. At this time, many rich people in Shanghai who wanted to meet senior officials of the Hong Kong Government in Tiangong nightclub got up and ran towards Lichi garden.

In the end, Hong Kong Chinese officials, detectives, many elders of the Hong Kong Youth Gang, disciples and grandchildren all gathered in Lichi garden. Even in the end, the director of welfare couldn't help but enter Lichi and meet Du Yuesheng.

Du Yuesheng sat in Lichi garden for only two hours and saw only a few people.

However, after that night, Lichi garden became the headquarters of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and it remained prosperous for a long time. However, Tiangong nightclub could not continue and closed its doors in less than a year.

At this point, no one dared to jump out to compete with Li at the Hong Kong Gala, and li really became the emperor of the Hong Kong nightclub.

Chu Xiaoxin is also a powerful person who can be mixed up into the head of an uncle and young regiment in such a nightclub with mixed fish and dragons and sprinkled with gold everywhere.
