Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

"Edward, I heard you named your foal Dazhanhongtu?"

A group of people walked in.

The leader was an old man in his fifties.

He laughed heartily and said, "My flying eagle won't let you."

"Boss Yan!"

This person is obviously very important. As soon as he walked in,

Li Yonglian, Cai Yuanqi and the others couldn't help but step forward: "So, Director Yan's beloved horse, Flying Eagle, is also on the court." "Number 3!"

Director Yan glanced at Lu Wendong and said, "So Mr. Lu is here too."

He has status and also loves horse racing.

That must be someone from Yan Chengkun's family. Lu Wendong's mind raced.

At this age,

It should be Yan Chengkun's eldest son Yan Jieqiang,

He nodded slightly: "It turned out to be Master Yan." Yan Jieqiang frowned,

He doesn't really like people calling him "Young Master", after all, he is already in his fifties.

It's just that the one who spoke up was Lu Wendong, the leader of the Hakka Gang.

I don’t have much connection with the Chaozhou Gang.

Yan Jieqiang could only say, "Why? Mr. Lu also suffered the same fate as his beloved horse?"

The atmosphere in the box suddenly became a little weird. As everyone knows,

Lu Wendong's rise was too fast.

So he has not had time to join the Fanling Golf Club and the Jockey Club, which are known as the watershed of the upper class.

Li Yonglian hurriedly said, "Mr. Yan, Mr. Lu is doing me a favor by coming to see my horse."

Yan Jieqiang laughed out loud: "I see. I thought I could compete with Mr. Lu. What a shame."

"You can not."

Lu Wendong recalled a story from the past, where he had received a secret report from his subordinates.

It is said that Shark Dantong is very likely to be conspiring with Yan Chengkun,

It's just because I moved too fast.

The so-called conspiracy became a joke, and naturally there was no further movement.

He immediately said, "In terms of status, you are just a supervisor of China Pakistan."

"In terms of status, the Chaozhou Gang no longer has the Coolie House, and you haven't taken over Mr. Yan's status in the underworld." Lu Wendong said calmly, "You are not qualified."

What he said is true! If we really compare,

That is to say, Yan Chengkun can compete with Lu Wendong, but,

It has to be Yan Chengkun in his prime! Yan Jieqiang's face suddenly turned pale.

He snorted, "You're so sharp-tongued despite being so young, Mr. Li, I hope you get good grades." "Let's go."

Once Yan Jieqiang leaves,

Li Yonglian quickly said, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Yan is a good horseman and he almost never misses a horse every season."

Lu Wendong nodded slightly. "After all these years, the market value of China-Mexico Bus is only a few billion. We can only afford to play with horse racing." He sneered, "We have money for horse racing, but no money to improve employee benefits. That's what the Yan family is like."

Luo Yaoming finally found an opportunity. Before,

He always felt that he was a little transparent.

He immediately said, "The Yan family is not ambitious. The Transport Advisory Committee has been suggesting to the Hong Kong government that the United Overseas Transport Company of Great Britain take over China Motor Bus. Although the Hong Kong government rejected it, if China Motor Bus continues like this, the majority of shareholders will be dissatisfied."

Lu Wendong commented: "Mr. Luo does have some insights." In fact,

The Yan family really has no intention to run a minibus anymore.

It is definitely more interesting to engage in real estate.

Shao Laoliu also had the same idea.

For example, it is currently turning towards real estate,

The original filming sites under his name were gradually developed into buildings. It was also because of this,

This has led to a sharp reduction in the number of filming locations available on Hong Kong Island.

Rents are rising sharply.

In later times,

It is becoming difficult for the crew to find a suitable location for filming in Hong Kong Island, so they have to go to the mainland to look for a location.

Li Yonglian and the others were suddenly shocked. This is the most interesting thing about Hong Kong Island. Each generation has its own version of the god.

A new generation buries the old! In the hundred years since the opening of the port,

The wealthy families in Hong Kong Island are constantly changing.

No wealthy family has ever truly achieved the same fate as Hong Kong Island.

If I really want to talk about it,

The Li family had this momentum before,

Because it has decided to rent instead of sell early on,

It is also because the Li family chose Causeway Bay.

As for the Yan family, they were once prosperous.

The ancestors of the Yan family were once the heads of the coolie camp in Hong Kong, and they were in charge of most of the Chaozhou coolies in Hong Kong.

Later, it was transferred to the public transportation sector under Yan Chengkun's leadership.

The Yan family directly obtained the exclusive operating rights of the public buses in Hong Kong Island, and the bus fleet has 498 buses.

The annual passenger volume increased from 4612 million to 1.86 million. At that time, Hong Kong Island had the largest population.

For the Hong Kong government,

China and Pakistan have contributed to solving the "I travel" problems of food, clothing, housing and transportation for the vast majority of citizens after the war.

Yan Chengkun naturally became a hot celebrity in Hong Kong's political and economic circles. He first served as a member of the Legislative Council,

He then moved up to the Executive Council, the highest power structure of the Hong Kong government, and concurrently served as the chief member of the Legislative Council.

Directly participated in many important decisions regarding the reconstruction and development of Hong Kong Island after the war.

Yan Chengkun was awarded the OBE and CBE by the Queen. He is incredibly popular!

At that time, the only people who could be compared with him were Sir Zhou Xinian of the Dongguan Clan and Sir Zhou Shoushen of the Baoan Clan!

but ,

so what?

First, the popular Zhou Xinian lost the favor of the governor because of his problematic stance, which led to the milk company under his name being forcibly acquired by Hong Kong Swire Properties.

Then there was Yan Chengkun, who, after entering the 70s,

The general public has strongly requested China Bus to improve its service quality.

For example, replacing new buses to provide better services.

However, Yan Chengkun stubbornly believed that the general public only needed low-cost bus services, and he had no idea that the current economic income of Hong Kong people has increased significantly.

People can afford it. Due to Yan Chengkun's request,

The minibuses are old, the frequency is insufficient, and the headquarters building is dilapidated and in need of repair, which makes the majority of citizens prefer to take minibuses rather than minibuses.

Because CMB is a public utility,

Its dilapidated image has also affected the image of Hong Kong Island, and many legislators have criticized it.

Even worse,

The Yan family treated their employees very stingily.

The Chinese and Pakistani labor forces have been criticizing the poor salary and welfare benefits of the Chinese and Pakistani labor forces.

Employees only receive a year-end bonus equal to half a month’s salary.

Their monthly salary is only RMB 1000 more than that of new drivers.

The rest station set up by China Bus for its employees,

There is not even water or electricity.

The person who took the lead was Yan Chengkun, the head of the Yan family. This old man was very nervous about the salary and welfare expenses of the Zhongba.

Even though I'm old,

Every year, he would personally preside over closed-door meetings with the labor side to discuss salary adjustments, sometimes arguing over adjustments as small as two cents.

This is why Lu Wendong mocked Yan Jieqiang. Perhaps,

The reason why the older generation of tycoons are lonely is that

It's because they've always viewed the present through the lens of the 1950s, unaware that the world since the 1980s is a completely different place.

Lu Wendong said, "Lawyer, today is your chance to make a big splash. I'm counting on you." Li Yonglian quickly said, "With Mr. Lu's encouragement, I'm incredibly confident."

He winked at Cai Yuanqi.

Cai Yuanqi then stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li, I have to congratulate you. Now that Mr. Lu has spoken, I think you will definitely achieve great things." Li Yonglian laughed heartily and said, "Then I really need to borrow Mr. Lu's words."

"Mr. Lu, Cai Sir is an elite member of the police force. He trained in London for a full year." Lu Wendong smiled: "It seems that the future of the police force depends on Cai Sir."

The Hong Kong Island Police Force has an unwritten rule.

If a police officer is to be promoted to a senior position, he or she is usually sent abroad for further training.

The main location for further studies is London or Scotland Yard! As long as you go there,

Generally politically reliable, positive and progressive,

After returning, they are often able to take on political responsibilities.

This model is somewhat similar to the local-to-central training in Shenzhou.

The intention was to strengthen the connection between the two sides and bring the subordinates closer to London.

This model was quite successful when the foreigners governed Hong Kong Island.

Every senior police officer who goes to London swears allegiance to the Queen.

unfortunately,

Hong Kong Island has now clearly returned to China.

This model naturally does not work. Take Cai Yuanqi in front of us for example,

Lu Wendong affirmed,

He is loyal only to power!

Cai Yuanqi said hurriedly: "When I read the newspaper, I read every word related to Mr. Lu." "Mr. Lu, you are my idol."

Lu Wendong smiled and said, "Your handwriting is ugly, so I won't sign it." Everyone burst into laughter.

"here we go!"

Li Yonglian was rarely nervous. As the saying goes, one's fate is first, two's luck is second, three's money is drawn.

Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui very much.

Lu Wendong took in all the people's gazes, probably because he was in a high position.

The stronger the gambling nature,

It's just that they're betting on different things. Ding!

Everyone couldn't help but look at Dazhan Hongtu, who was riding in the sixth position. "He's so shiny and sleek, what a great horse!" "He's got Zheng Jilong as his jockey, which is like adding wings to a tiger."

Lu Wendong was quite calm. He bet 300 million.

If you don't win,

Many people will be unlucky. Luo Yaoming's eyes turned straight,

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Mr. Lu was making a horse. If he had known earlier,

I should have placed a bet just now.

Now I feel a little petty.

There was another ding, and the gate of the stable opened.

Ten racehorses gallop across the grass.

Li Yonglian and others waved their hands: "Dig the turf, dig the turf." The Hong Kong Island Racecourse uses real turf.

So Hong Kong people call winning "digging the turf" and losing "laying the turf."

This is also easy to understand. Since the bet was lost,

Of course, the money bet has turned into a piece of grass at the racecourse.

Seeing Luo Yaoming also shouting "digging the turf", Lu Wendong thought to himself,

Horse racing has become popular among the people. As long as there are conditions,

They will try their best to own a racehorse.

It is a great honor to own a racehorse, and the identity of a horse owner is a symbol of entering the upper class.

The life of a horse racer is much better than that of most Hong Kong people.

For example, the grass the horses eat is imported from abroad, music is played before they go to sleep to help them get hypnotized, and they sleep on high-end carpets.

There are also special veterinarians to give them massages, and the horse bedrooms are equipped with central air conditioning.
