"Brother Zhong, I was wrong, I was wrong. Look at my mouth. I love to talk nonsense after drinking a little!"

I slapped myself, loud and clear.

"I listen to you, and I will listen to you from now on."

Zhong Yuemin said, "I guess you're not convinced in your heart?"

"No, really not."

"I don't care if you have it or not, just remember this: there are so many unfair things in this world, but at least everyone has only one life, which is fair and just."

Zhong Yuemin said:

"That's Niu Er, a coward who's afraid of death and greedy for life. He's a local scoundrel. If you run into a reckless, fearless guy who really wants to beat you to death, what good will it do to smash windows and throw feces? I still say that a cornered dog will jump over the wall, and a cornered rabbit will bite. If you mess with him now, it's useless except for venting your anger. If you're not careful, you might even get retaliated. Even if you really want to deal with him, it's not now. Wait until Zhu Long is capable and has the power of life and death. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. This is what I mean by that.

You're a grown man, yet you still have your mother and sister worrying about you. Just think of how capable you are."

Zhu Long looked ashamed, "Brother Zhong, I was wrong. I'm sorry."

"Why are you saying sorry to me? You should say it to your mother and your sister. Okay, every failure makes you wiser. Think about it carefully in your heart."

Although this guy called him brother, he was actually much older than him, so he didn't scold him much.

Then he said:

"What kind of business does your uncle do in Hong Kong Island? I heard from Xiaojing before that your uncle asked your family to go to Hong Kong Island to live with him. His business must be quite big, right?"

Zhu Long said:

"It's not a big deal. He just opened two gold and silver shops. Business is pretty good, isn't it? I don't know the details, but Brother Zhong, my uncle told me that life in Hong Kong is pretty good. Even an ordinary citizen's salary, even a waiter's salary, can make around 500 or 600. Back here, you can't even think about it. My uncle's two gold and silver shops definitely bring in over 100,000 or 200,000 a year."

Zhong Yuemin nodded. Hong Kong Island, which had grown from a small fishing village in the 1940s and 1950s to an international metropolis after 20 to 30 years of development, had become an international metropolis. The rise of manufacturing had accelerated population expansion, and the real estate industry had developed rapidly. Hong Kong Island's golden age was about to arrive.

"Your family has such connections, why don't you go over there? Given the current situation, it will definitely be better than staying here."

"Brother Zhong, it's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare!"

Zhu Long said:

"In fact, I have inquired about it from some relevant institutions before. If you have relatives abroad, such as in Hong Kong, the United States, or other places, you can apply for relevant procedures to visit them. The staff also told me that if you can bring back some foreign currency, your family will be a great contributor. I had thought about going to live with my uncle before, but because of some things, I kept delaying it.

The main reason is that I'm unsure. They say it's okay, but who knows how it's done, how it's reviewed, and whether it'll be approved in the end? Once I get there, I'll be away from home, unable to speak the language, and not even sure if I can settle down. Anyway, I'm unsure, and now that this has happened, I've been treated as a spy, so I've completely given up on this idea.

Now I am doing business with you, Brother Zhong, and I am making a lot of money. I am content."

"This little money is nothing!"

Zhong Yuemin picked up a peanut and chewed it.

"By next year, I might have to go back to the countryside, and our business will probably be dissolved."

"what?"

Zhu Long was surprised. "Brother Zhong, although I don't know your specific identity, you are definitely not from an ordinary family."

Otherwise, how can we get so many scarce materials in a continuous supply?

"Why do you still need to go to the countryside?"

"There's nothing we can do about this situation," Zhong Yuemin said without further ado.

"If I were you, I would definitely take your mother and your sister with me. With your uncle there, what do you have to worry about?"

"That's the foreigners' territory. If we get sent back, our house in Beijing will also be repossessed. We'll be left with nothing. That would be tragic."

"What do you do with the money? Money talks, it's the same everywhere. It's not difficult to buy Hong Kong Island citizenship."

Zhong Yuemin said:

"I know a little about Hong Kong Island. I heard they're about to introduce a resistance policy. This means that anyone who can cross the border and successfully reach the city will be granted legal citizenship by the foreign devils."

"Brother Zhong, this... is this true?"

"I can still bluff you."

This resistance policy was only implemented in 74, and there are still more than four years to go. I revealed this to him mainly to make Zhu Long feel at ease. As long as he has money in his pocket, it is not difficult to get a formal identity in Hong Kong Island.

Zhong Yuemin said:

"Zhu Long, with your family's current situation, you will definitely not be able to enjoy any good things in the future, and you will probably be the one to suffer the bad things. So, going there to develop your family is the best choice."

Zhu Long was so eager to make a move.

"Brother Zhong, what can my family do there? My uncle is also a big family with his own children. Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone my uncle, who has to live under someone else's roof and eat at their expense. I know how it feels. It's better for us to stay in Beijing."

"What's your brain for? What's your hands for? Just for decoration?"

Zhong Yuemin was disappointed with the iron that could not be made into steel.

"Your uncle and his family fled there with nothing, didn't they? They're doing well now. They're grown men, big and strong, yet they're so timid."

Zhu Long scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

He simply said it directly,

"Zhu Long, I'm letting you go over there. First, it's for your own good. Second, I want to expand my business to Hong Kong Island. I definitely can't do it without someone over there. So you can go there as a scout."

Zhu Long was concerned and said excitedly: "Brother Zhong, why don't we go together? With you here, I'm not afraid even if the sky falls."

"I'd like to, but not now!"

You can take your mother and sister with you, without any worries. He is still staying in there, and his son has gone to Hong Kong Island. Isn't this harming his father?

"You go over there first and settle down. We'll take our time with the rest. There's no rush."

"Brother Zhong, what you told me is true. You are not joking."

"I'm free."

"But when we get there, we won't be familiar with the place. What kind of business can we do?"

"Within the legal framework, you can do anything: build and sell houses, engage in shipping, open restaurants, theaters, dance halls, act and sing. Even if you make a Category III film, no one will bother you."

Zhu Jing said naively:

"Brother Zhong, what is a Category III film?"

"Ahem... well, it's a martial arts movie."

"Oh, I love to watch that!"

Zhong Yuemin said to Zhu Long:

"Don't think Hong Kong Island is so mysterious. It's not a den of dragons and tigers. It's just a tiny place. Kowloon, New Territories, the main island... It's not even as big as a district in Beijing. Where there are people, there are underworlds, and of course there are gangs."

During this period, the Sun Yee On, 14K, Wo Shing and Yee Kwan were probably fighting fiercely.

"But it's just the same as the fights with the tough guys in Beijing. Many people have fled there. They all have yellow skin and black hair and speak Chinese. What's there to be afraid of?"
