Reborn in Hong Kong, I am the Rice Bowl Master

Chapter 285 Chapter 285: Some of my people dare to touch me?The white rice fish was tied up!
The stage is huge and different people come and go on it every day.

There are also people who hope to strike up a conversation with the pillar, not necessarily for profit, but just to leave a thought.

After the dance, Li Wanhua floated away to his female family members like a butterfly. As a lady, she naturally wanted to integrate into the circle of Hong Kong's celebrities as soon as possible.

Fortunately, she is a famous best friend in Haojiang, and she can be a good best friend with anyone.

She was familiar with this routine, so she didn't need any extra instructions from Gao Yao.

"President Gao."

Zhou Xinian was the leader of the young generation at that time, and there was no celebrity in the entire Chinese circle that he was not familiar with.

He approached with two middle-aged men: "Let me introduce to you. This is my father-in-law Tan Huantang, and this is Mr. Lin Mingxun."

Tan Huantang's daughter married Zhou Xinnian's son, and the relationship between the two was naturally close.

Interestingly, Tan Huantang and Lin Mingxun are both from Wuyi...

And they are all existing directors of Kowloon Bus.

Moreover, Gao Yao's little brother is Zhou Xinian's uncle.

This relationship is like a network, which is spread over the entire Hong Kong Island. Whenever necessary, you can always find some connections on this network.

"President Gao, I've heard this famous name for so long that it sounds like thunder to my ears."

Tan Huantang and the other two smiled and toasted: "I've always wanted to meet him, but it never happened by chance. Today is really a coincidence."

Gao Yao laughed: "Fate, it's all fate."

Isn't it fate?These two guys are both directors of Kowloon Bus. This company holds the franchise rights in Kowloon and the New Territories.

In the days to come, Kowloon buses will be booming.

"Dr. Zhou, you really have a wide range of contacts."

Tan Huantang and the others just came to say hello to Gao Yao, so that everyone could become acquaintances. When they see each other in the future, they can talk warmly.

Zhou Xi's face was bright, how could the Zhou family's lintel be false?

In this land of Hong Kong and Kowloon, as long as the name of the Zhou family is reported, there is nothing that cannot be done.

"A little bit."

Zhou Xinian laughed and said, "I, Mr. Zhou, only have this little face, which is still worth some money."

He shook his head: "The Wuyi Gang will die from drought and waterlogging."

Gao Yao thought: "Dr. Zhou, what is this?"

He only knew that the Wuyi Gang was very majestic when it was in front, and had many big bosses, who were the leaders of Hong Kong Island.

It's just that the back was somehow suppressed.

The specific reason for this is not clear.

"Hey."

Zhou Xinian slapped his thigh. President Gao was young after all and did not know much about the old events in Hong Kong Island, so he said, "That happened decades ago, and now the evil consequences are gradually showing up."

He said meaningfully: "I think you can participate in politics, but it is best to be pure."

That means the Wuyi Gang is not pure anymore.

Only now did Gao Yao realize that the Wuyi Gang was the first to invest in the Founding Fathers in Guangfu...

But of course this investment is not pure.

To make a revolution is not to treat guests to a meal, but to make people work with their heads on their shoulders, they need to be paid. However, the founding father had no money at that time, so he had to change money, and then he approached the Wuyi Gang nearby.

At that time, Chinese businessmen from Hong Kong Island such as Li Yutang and Yang Xiyan, who were from Wuyi, agreed to provide financial support, but they demanded power sharing and economic benefits such as land and public utility businesses.Later, Li Yutang was appointed as a member of the Central Finance Commission as he wished, and Yang Xiyan was appointed as the Minister of Finance. Important positions such as salt transportation and transportation were successively handed over to people from Wuyi, and many urban lands and real estate in Guangfu were also transferred to the In the hands of Chinese businessmen from Hong Kong Island in Wuyi.

"The appetite is too great."

Zhou Xinian shook his head: "It's hard to gain weight by eating alone, but they have to eat one bite to become a big fat man. How can they not be envied by others?"

There was only so much meat on the table, but the Wuyi Gang wanted to take advantage of it all, which naturally made people from all walks of life unhappy.

Later, the founding fathers implemented the policy of allying with Russia and accommodating the Communist Party, and gradually obtained huge financial support from Tsarist Russia. He could no longer rely on the strength of Chinese businessmen from Hong Kong with Wuyi nationality, so he took the initiative and terminated the substantive official appointments of these people.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it, and when the drum breaks, everyone beats it.

People from all walks of life have added insult to injury. The Wuyi Gang retreated to Hong Kong Island and began to transform. Many of the big guys at that time began to get involved in banking and other businesses. Many of them have lived in Hong Kong Island since then and no longer get involved in mainland politics. They are no longer what they used to be. He often returns to his hometown and builds his hometown.

Dongguan Gang and Chaozhou Gang began to get opportunities from this.

Gao Yao nodded slightly. Every change was a time for redistribution of power.

No wonder the Wuyi Gang seems a bit peaceful. It seems that after returning to Hong Kong, they should have been taught a lesson by the Hong Kong government.

Hey, someone Gao guessed it right.

At that time, the Wuyi Gang was keen on state affairs, turning Hong Kong Island into a place for political struggle and exchange, and supported many revolutionary causes here.

The Hong Kong government at that time was very angry.

Moreover, after Li Yutang and Yang Xiyan became the finance ministers of Guangzhou, they issued banknotes indiscriminately without providing any precious metal reserves, which caused Guangzhou's financial chaos and affected Hong Kong's finance.

Yes, after the opening of Hong Kong Island, the mainland's common currency (silver and copper coins) has been able to circulate freely on Hong Kong Island. And after the Hong Kong dollar came out, its exchange rate was bound to the mainland's silver rather than the pound.

Li Yutang printed silver paper in Guangfu, and a large proportion of it was borne by Hong Kong Island.

How can the Hong Kong government afford it?
On the one hand, it announced a ban on the circulation of all other forms of currency in Hong Kong, ending the nearly 70-year history of mainland silver dollars being able to circulate freely on Hong Kong Island.

On the other hand, it was announced that the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate would be tied to the British pound.

This is obvious!

Secretly, the Hong Kong government began to exclude Wuyi people who were closely related to the revolutionaries at different levels, and began to distribute power to the Hakka Gang (referring to the local faction), Dongguan Gang, and Chaozhou Gang.

He Dong, Zhou Xinian, Yan Chengkun and others began to rise.

Gao Yao thought that although Hong Kong Island was only a small place, because it was close to Guangfu, the power struggle here was also magnificent.

However, all these will be blown away by the rain and wind.

These young men who were determined to change the country have become old and old, and the Eastern Dragon they were looking forward to will soon unify.

Hong Kong Island is no longer qualified to intervene in politics. The biggest role here is to serve as the central point at the junction of the East and the West.

From now on, don’t talk about state affairs, only talk about money.

"Everything is over, Doctor Zhou."

Gao Yao raised his glass and said with a smile: "Now, step forward and look towards the money."

No matter how powerful Zhou Xinian said these big guys were, it was over.

It's like Yan Chengkun was obviously the top boss in the Chaozhou Gang at that time. He wanted people, money, status and status, but he was just not accepted by the Chaozhou Gang.

Why?When the Japanese invaded, he served as a Chinese representative.

Whether it was forced or willing, there was a stain on this family.

In those three years, many top bosses were forced to take a back seat because of this and no longer interfered with current affairs.

Otherwise, how could it be Rugao's turn to challenge these young men?
And why is Gao Yao willing to re-accept Yan Chengkun into the Chaozhou Gang?It's just because this guy can't affect his status at all, and he can also show solidarity.

"Yes."

Zhou Xinian said: "President Gao said it well, we still have to look forward."

He didn't understand.

What Mr. Gao means is to look at money. In the future, Hong Kong Island will truly become a world where money comes first.

Money is influence, power, and the true uncrowned king.

……

Public opinion is like fire, and it will be extinguished as long as a plate of water is poured on it.

As the phones became available and the telephone companies announced their relevant preferential policies in newspapers, public opinion gradually weakened.

Gao Yao took the opportunity to ask his legal team to announce a settlement with the phone company. The legal fees he paid for this were 15...

15 million ah...

So how can ordinary people file a lawsuit?
That's why various chambers of commerce have emerged, and their main purpose is to mediate civil disputes at the lowest cost.

However, what Gao Yao gained was 10% of the shares of the telephone company and a director's position. Then the corresponding equipment he purchased would be sold to the telephone company at market prices for expansion.

It's not a loss after all.

The proud Mr. Gao is taking Yi Ying, a director of Yan Oi Tong, to inspect the project at Sheung Lei Uk Estate.

The progress of the project was delayed a little longer than expected, but considering that this was the first time to do this kind of project, Gao Yao specifically asked to maintain quality and quantity.

Some delays are inevitable.

H-shaped building, 6 floors, 62 households per floor.

The net area of ​​each room is about 2.2 x 2.8 m (7 x 9 feet). The rooms are back to back, with air holes in the middle to help air circulation.

In the middle of the two wings are public toilets and shower rooms, and at one end of each wing is a storage room.

There is 10 meters (35 feet) of open space between the wings.

As for this corridor, the back will naturally become the kitchen of the residents.

This is impossible.

Since the opening of Hong Kong Island as a port, thanks to the promotion of Gui Lao, every inch of land here has always been extremely expensive.

Although the net area of ​​this public housing seems to be just that big, and it has to accommodate a family of five, it seems very crowded.

However, the homes of the Chinese people have always been as small as a hut and as dense as a honeycomb.

The key point is that no matter how small a house is, it still costs more than ten gold per month, so there are often seven or eight houses in a house with many houses, and two or three houses with small houses.

Strictly speaking, the size of this public housing estate is very common on Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, people like Zhou Xinian took it for granted and even praised it greatly. "Okay, okay, it can protect you from wind and rain."

Zhou Xinian has seen more, traveled more, and experienced more. He is a truly well-informed person. He said with emotion: "In the past, this was a benevolent government."

Everyone is proud of it. Although they live in a small house, this public house is much more reliable than a squatter house.

As for the fact that there are no windows and no bathroom, compared to having a house to live in, that is simply not worth mentioning.

"mutual encouragement."

All along, the Hong Kong government has never provided social welfare or social services such as free education, medical care, housing, and relief for the elderly, weak and poor to local Chinese.

Various social relief and assistance can only be raised by private organizations themselves.

This is why private charity organizations such as Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and Po Leung Kuk emerged. The core problem is that the Hong Kong government lacks the responsibility to provide medical services to ordinary people and ignores the life and death of vulnerable groups, leaving them to fend for themselves.

The so-called getting rich and establishing a good life, for Mr. Gao, going to Liwu Village was just the beginning.

What he hopes to do is to start from himself and mobilize celebrities among the Chinese to actively participate in the construction of public housing.

Only by having a house to live can Hong Kong people be willing to stay in Hong Kong for a long time. Otherwise, they will still become floating immigrants. Then how can we talk about building and developing Hong Kong Island?
Gao Yao said: "The next step is to work hard to identify the tenants carefully."

Next, this is the big battle.

Gao Yao doesn't want the public welfare he does to be taken advantage of by those who are interested. What he wants to help is the people who are really in need.

"You deserve it, you deserve it."

Everyone nodded repeatedly: "Since we are a member of Renai Hall, this matter is obligatory."

"Everyone."

Gao Yao said: "This is only the first phase, there will be a second phase, a third phase..."

The H-shaped building in Sheung Lei Uk Estate is an experimental product for Gao Yao. He needs to use it to observe the occupancy conditions, obtain samples, and then make improvements.

If the problem is not serious, the second phase of construction will be officially launched in a few months.

He is ambitious: "My goal is that we will build the first large-scale community on Hong Kong Island with more than 5 residents."

"It will be integrated with public services and serve as a model to be implemented throughout Hong Kong."

Since the opening of Hong Kong Island, no developer has ever developed such a large-scale community. What is currently being developed is public welfare housing.

Although Gao Yao had mentioned it before, but now that he mentioned it again, everyone still felt dazzled.

"it is good."

Zhou Xinian applauded, and he applauded loudly: "When doing charity, of course you have to be brave and brave to be the first."

"Just a good start."

He thought about the generosity of young people.

That is to build nearly 20 buildings, which is not a small sum of money.

It seems that Yan Ai Church needs to do more fundraising activities.

However, this is not urgent. The most urgent task is to take care of the public housing building in front of us, which is about to be completed.

If there are examples, it will be easier to raise donations in the future.

Da-da, da-da.

A burst of hurried footsteps rushed over, led by Gao Jin.

This guy is currently in charge of training Sihai security in Dongcang, Causeway Bay. Why did Shi Jiaowei come to Fuhai?
In addition to Gao Jin, there is also Baifanyu's leader Ma Dingye. This guy is in charge of the Kowloon Walled City when Baifanyu is not on Hong Kong Island.

He never left Longcheng lightly, so why did he get together with Gao Jin?
Gao Yao nodded to the group of people: "Excuse me, I'll ask Dr. Zhou to take charge of the overall situation."

He hurried to meet him, and then said majestically: "What's the matter?"

Ding Ye was anxious and shouted: "Uncle, the boss has been kidnapped."

Gao Yao's heart skipped a beat: "Go and talk outside."

With the power of Mr. Gao and Baifanyu, there are no such bold thieves on Hong Kong Island.

But Haojiang is different. It is the land of the Nine Rebels and is full of bandits who build mountains and strongholds.

Moreover, beyond the Haojiang River, the sky is vast and the sea is vast. If you retreat, you can go inland or go boating on the sea.

You can hide the meat tickets anywhere and never expect to find them.

Lord Ding said: "The message A Liang sent before he died said that the boss was kidnapped by strong men and he did not know whether he was alive or dead."

Gao Yao's face suddenly sank, and he asked: "Being kidnapped?"

Mr. Ding wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded desperately: "Yes, uncle, he was kidnapped."

That is being kidnapped.

Otherwise, if it was a pure vendetta, Baifanyu should be knocked down on the spot.

"Uncle, what should we do now?"

Lord Ding said: "Anyway, brothers will listen to you."

Gao Yao was Bai Fanyu's uncle, and he had the entire Chaozhou Gang as his assistants. Naturally, the proud and powerful men in the Kowloon Walled City were convinced.

Otherwise, Mr. Ding would not have come looking for Gao Yao as soon as he heard the news.

Gao Yao looked at Gao Jin.

Only then did Gao Jin speak: "Brother, Li Adji is already investigating."

However, everyone present knew that unless the kidnapper was out of his mind, it would be difficult to find him.

After all, even a tycoon like Fu Laorong from Haojiang could be kidnapped, and even after one of his ears was cut off, he still had to pay meat.

You can imagine how difficult it is to find meat tickets there.

"Ask for money."

Gao Yao said: "Go back to Gao Mansion first."

"Let Yao Mu come over."

Since the visitor dared to tie up the white rice fish, he must have inquired about the situation of the white rice fish. If he still dared to tie the fish after knowing it, then he was determined to win.

Gao Yao thought that the other party would most likely call him.

The calm Gao Yao immediately made Ding Ye feel at ease. He thought that the boss was right. Although he was young, if there was a big problem, he would definitely go to him.

Wealth can be found through risk, and Taishan has indeed taken risks for this wealth.

"Are there any brothers alive?"

Master Ding shook his head sadly: "From the current point of view, there should be no such thing."

"But I have sent my brothers to investigate."

Gao Yao thought, Taishan always carried a pistol squad with him, and under such circumstances, the attackers could successfully ambush him.

It shows that the other party is not only not a novice, but also extremely good at firearms.

Oh, is it a soldier?Was it a disintegrated one or an existing military camp?

The three girls, Axia, were arranging flowers in the yard. When they heard the noise, they walked out one after another. When they saw Lord Ding, Bai Yuechang, who was holding a vase, said, "Brother Ding, why are you here?"

Master Ding knelt on the ground with a thud: "Miss, the boss has been tied up."

Bang, the vase fell to the ground.

Bai Yuechang shook her body three times and was about to fall down. Fortunately, Axia and Li Wanhua who were beside her quickly caught her with their help.

Upon seeing this, Gao Yao walked up to Bai Yuechang. Miss Bai, who used to be fearless, now looked panicked and helpless, and her big eyes were filled with moisture.

His little mouth was trembling, he wanted to speak but couldn't.

"Yue Chang, trust me."

Gao Yao said seriously: "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue Taishan."

"If I can't do this, I will be buried with him in Haojiang."

Li Wanhua, who was supporting Bai Yuechang, suddenly trembled.

"Wow."

Bai Yuechang finally burst into tears. She threw herself into Gao Yao's arms and cried bitterly: "Husband, you must rescue daddy."

"He is my father."

Gao Yao patted Bai Yuechang on the back: "Fool, he is also my father-in-law."

"No one can hurt him."

"You're a little emotional now."

Gao Yao said softly: "I want you to calm down and leave the rest to me."

Axia and Li Wanhua also advised each other: "Yue Chang, the top priority is for your husband to come up with a countermeasure. At this time, the most important thing is not to mess up your own position."

"Master Bai definitely doesn't want you to cry like this."

Having said that, how could Bai Yuechang really calm down?

She cried silently, and then said to Master Ding: "Brother Ding."

Master Ding seemed to understand what he meant and said loudly: "Miss, don't worry, we have thousands of brothers in Longcheng who will go through fire and water without hesitation!"

"I will definitely cooperate with my uncle."

Bai Yue said humbly before being helped away by Axia and Li Wanhua.

Step by step, Yao Mu strode over: "President."
