History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 232

Before the bill is passed, it is the best time to get evidence of foreign bribery.

If the foreign firm wants to exert its strength in the Legislative Council, it must mobilize the members. During this period, every activity is an opportunity. On the contrary, after the bill is passed, the foreign firm and the members will have low-key activities.

Of course, the foreign bank has a bank under its control and controls the funds transmission channel. It is difficult to obtain solid evidence, but every negligence of the other party is an opportunity.

night.

Liyuan East Street.

He Dingxian sat at the tea table, drinking soup, and asked his father-in-law for help: "Old Dou, I want to meet Chairman Fang of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce."

"Are you looking for Zhou Junnian?" Chu Weinan took a spoonful of pork belly soup and put it into his mouth.

Zhou Junnian is the big boss behind the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, the speaker of the top barrister's family in Hong Kong. His residence is located at No. 6 Taipingshan. His father, Zhou Shaoqi, was a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong Island. He was a representative of Chinese in Hong Kong Island during the Qing Dynasty. His ancestors were colonized by the Hong Kong government. Working hard is the standard leading party.

"Yes."

"I want to see Mr. Zhou."

Chow Chun-nian himself was born in 1893. He graduated from St. Stephen's College on Hong Kong Island in 1910. The following year, he went to study at Oxford University in the UK and obtained a bachelor's degree in law and the title of lawyer. He returned to Hong Kong in 1914 and became a barrister.

Later, he inherited his father's business and became a director of more than 10 companies. He is a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong and is enthusiastic about serving the society. honorary director.

In 1929, he served as a member of the Clean Bureau, and later served as the chairman of the Property Maintenance Association, the chairman of the Inland River Shipping Chamber of Commerce, the chairman of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, the chairman of the South China Sports Association, the honorary chairman of the Chinese Sports Association, and the chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

He was appointed as a member of the Legislative Council in 1931, and was appointed as a member of the Executive Council in 1946. He has two member status.He has served as a member of the Legislative Council for 13 years and the Executive Council for 22 years. He has worked under 8 Hong Kong governors successively, setting a record in the political arena of Hong Kong Island.

His younger brother, Zhou Xinian, is also a member of the Legislative Council.

The entire Zhou family owns shares in [-] companies, large and small, and is also the chairman of Dairy Cow Company. Their influence in Hong Kong is huge, like no other for a while!
"Is it about the bill?" Chu Weinan was very concerned about his son-in-law's career development. He picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth: "No problem, I will contact President Fang for you."

Fang Suquan, as the president of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, is the one among the Dongguan merchants who can really talk to the Zhou family. If he wants to meet Zhou Junnian, he has to rely on him to build a bridge.

"Yes."

"Even if this bill has the support of the Governor of Hong Kong, it still needs to be canvassed and has a great influence." He Dingxian admitted frankly.

As a big family of leading party, the first-class family of compradors and lawyers, the Zhou family is actually not popular in the Chinese capital circle on Hong Kong Island. No one likes leading party.

This is a first class stain!
But the reason why leading parties are so common is that they have political value. Under the circumstances that the ghosts trust them, if Chinese businessmen want to do something, their support is unavoidable.

Sometimes, if the unarmed people want to survive, they really need a leading party to build a bridge. Fortunately, the Zhou family is not the type who does all kinds of evil. They know the family's political value and come from the bottom of the Chinese people, but they are very committed to caring for the bottom citizens.

"I have nothing to do with Sir Zhou, so I can't help you much, but President Fang should give me some face." Chu Weinan stood up, walked to the living room phone, and made a call. After communicating, he put down the phone, looked at He Dingxian and said, "Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, we will meet at President Fang's Xiecheng Industrial."

"Thank you, old bean."

He Dingxian got up to thank him, Chu Weinan shook his head: "My family, why are you thanking me?"

As long as he has the resources in his hands, he is willing to use them for He Dingxian, because the youngest son is too young to use at all. If the son-in-law can stand tall in the future, he will naturally have more resources to invest in the youngest son.After all, the youngest son has an older sister who is the eldest son. Are you afraid that your investment will not be rewarded?

It was precisely because He Dingxian knew that he would have to pay back in the future, so he was not polite when he opened his mouth.

"Tomorrow, shall I go with you?" Chu Weinan asked.

He Dingxian smiled lightly: "Of course it's good to have the president come forward."

"It really cheers people up."

Tsim Sha Tsui East.

A villa by the sea.

Fang Suquan was in his study in his pajamas, thinking about Chu Weinan's phone call just now, and he almost recalled it in his heart: "The drunkard's intention is not to drink, Weinan wants to see Sir Zhou."

Among the six Chinese members of the Legislative Council, the Zhou family occupies two, one from the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, two from the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, and one from the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but the six members are all highly respected and famous. Look at it with a pure chamber of commerce identity.

Because the identity faction of the Chamber of Commerce can't restrict them at all, only the younger brother has to consider the boss's thoughts, have you ever seen the boss care about the employees?

The six congressmen support different chambers of commerce for private reasons, but politically, the six Chinese congressmen are one!

They are a group in themselves, attacking and defending equally. Zhou Junnian is the voice of the six members, because the remaining five members can enter the Legislative Council, more or less have his support.

"High-ranking Chinese" is not fake, behind the infamy is power!

"Do you want to help Chaoshan people?" Fang Suquan was caught in a dilemma.

the next day.

noon.

After Lei Luo answered the phone, he called his younger brother, "Xi Jiu, call Gao Yong from Wong Tai Sin District to come to Kowloon Tong."

Chen Xijiu didn't ask any more questions, but opened his mouth and answered, "Yes."

"Luke."

Two o'clock noon.

Tsim Sha Tsui East.

Hip Seng Building.

This is a five-story office building covering an area of ​​more than ten acres, and some buildings are used as group warehouses.

Fang Suquan was wearing a suit and took two assistants, standing in front of the gate looking forward to it.

The three cars stopped slowly at the door, and He Dingxian, Chu Weinan, Gao Yongsheng, Lei Luo, Gao Yong and others got out of the car one after another. The number of people who came to visit far exceeded Fang Suquan's expectations, and among them was Inspector Hua from Dongguan.

This made Fang Suquan's heart flutter slightly, and he quickly walked forward to shake hands with Chu Weinan who was the leader: "Weinan, long time no see."

Chu Weinan shook hands and hugged him, and said with a loud smile, "No, I came to visit you specially today."

"Axian, Uncle Quan." He turned to look at his son-in-law.

He Dingxian immediately stepped forward, bowed and shook hands: "Uncle Quan."

"A talented person." Fang Suquan looked up and down the young man in front of him, sighed a little, then looked at Gao Yongsheng and Lei Luo behind him, and said hello: "Gao sir!"

"Chief Inspector Lei."

Both Gao Yongsheng and Lei Luo stepped forward to shake hands: "Uncle Quan."

"Uncle Quan."

Among the two, Gao Yongsheng has already established good relations with major chambers of commerce after he took the position of the serious case team leader, and has a certain personal relationship with Fang Suquan.

Xiecheng Industrial's factories are mainly built in Kowloon, and they often deal with Lei Luo. As for Gao Yong and several younger brothers behind him, they all leaned over together: "President Fang."

"Ah."

"Ayong."

Fang Suquan nodded slightly, raised his hand and said, "Please come upstairs!"

"Let's go, go up and ask Uncle Quan for a cup of tea." Chu Weinan went upstairs side by side with Fang Suquan calmly, followed by He Dingxian, Gao Yongsheng, Lei Luo and others.

Even the serious crime team leader and Zonghua inspector are just little guys in this kind of situation.

No big chamber of commerce dared to speak out loudly!

A group of people came to a tea room on the third floor, Fang Suquan said: "Wei Nan, Ah Yin, it happened that Sir Zhou was visiting Kwong Wah Hospital in Kowloon and had dinner with me at noon. I heard that you are coming, and I plan to meet some Chinese politicians. Mainstay."

"how."

"Excuse me?" He turned around and asked He Dingxian.

He Dingxian calmed down, nodded and smiled and said, "It's my honor that Sir Zhou is willing to meet me, and I just have something I want to consult with Sir."

"That's good." Fang Suquan smiled: "There are a few Chinese congressmen with me."

The door of the tea room was pushed open, and six legislators of different ages in suits were standing and chatting indoors.

They turned their heads following the voice and cast their eyes on a young man.

Gao Yongsheng, Lei Luo, and Gao Yong all looked awe-inspiring. They all stopped at the door and bowed deeply: "Sir Zhou."

Zhou Junnian was sitting on the sofa, with a neatly tied suit and tie, and a pocket watch hanging around his waist. He looked like an elite gentleman with an upper-class temperament, but his hair had fallen out and was covered with age spots. Standing beside him were Luo Wenjin, Jian Leqiang, Xian Defen , Wu Zhongjing and Zhou Xinian.

Everyone is a justice of the peace, a person with power and wealth.

It is no exaggeration to say that if six people stand together, even the governor of Hong Kong will bow first when he comes, because the Hong Kong governor's office does not have six people to act as a bridge between China and Britain to mediate social conflicts, and government orders cannot be issued at all.

"Sir Zhou, Councilor Xiao Zhou, Gentleman Luo, Councilor Kan, Mr. Xian, Mr. Wu." Chu Weinan also had a solemn face, and stepped forward to shake hands one by one, not daring to neglect.

Because each of these six people is older than him, and the title of president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce is admired and highly respected by everyone in the outside world.

In front of the six people, he was a junior.

Of course, the six congressmen must also give Chairman Chu enough respect. After shaking hands one by one, they will shake hands with He Dingxian who was introduced to greet him. As for Gao Yongsheng, Lei Luo and others, after the door is closed, they can only stand by. As a signboard.

He Dingxian brought two famous people under his command and another detective from Chaoshan. He thought he would be more powerful in terms of momentum. Unexpectedly, the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce was even more prepared. Six members gathered together, all in the office waiting for him!
Today, there are a total of 12 people in the room. They are the most powerful group of Chinese in Hong Kong Island at present, and they will also be the most powerful group of people in the future.

He Dingxian went up to say hello to the six people, received Fang Suquan and handed him a cup of hot tea, while drinking the tea, Fang Suquan smiled and said: "Wei Nan, Ah Xian, if you have anything to say, you can speak directly, all of you are here."

"The words in this room are more effective than the court, and no matter what they talk about, they will never spread."

He Dingxian put down his teacup with a smile, and said straight to the point: "Several lords, gentlemen, and members of parliament are here. As a junior, I ask a few helpers to pass the "Anti-Corruption Bill" in the Legislative Council."
