History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 411 Five cents step on the whole Hong Kong (seeking a monthly ticket)

Councilor Yip is such an interesting lady.
He Dingxian smiled playfully.

According to the information he got, Mr. Ye has a boyfriend who is ten years younger, named Du Xuekui.Du Xuekui's ancestors were Suiyuan military officers, and his generation has become an official family. When he was young, he served in the Mainland, and then fled to Hong Kong Island to make a living because of the purge.

Later, Du Xuekui couldn't eat enough to eat, so he helped paste paper and make up books in a villain's bookstore.Because the villain bookstore is next door to the Kowloon Church, he often went to the Kowloon Church to receive welfare meals, and finally met Ms. Ye Xien who played the piano in the choir, and got a ride with Ms. Ye.

At present, Du Xuekui has been in love with Ye Xien for more than ten years, and they jointly founded "Muguang Middle School" and served as the principal of Muguang Middle School.He is a well-known educator among the Chinese.In the eyes of outsiders, the deep love between husband and wife seems to be a story of poor children eating soft rice?

Mr. Yip and Mrs. Bird are good friends.

It is not surprising to play any tricks.

Hey.

Nuns, MPs.
Sure enough, the more taboo, the more madness.

There are so many stories in the West, but they are not necessarily false.
It is a pity that Mr. Yip is already an old man, in his fifties, and if he is in his teens or 20s, things will be much easier to handle.No matter how bad it is, Mrs. Bird is now in her early forties, like a ripe peach, water will flow after one bite.

That is also refreshing.

night.

He Dingxian sat at home, made a phone call, and said: "Ah Sheng, let the brothers sign [-] names to oppose the Star Ferry's fare increase. It must be done before twelve o'clock."

"Do not worry."

"Boss."

Jiang Tiansheng was wearing a suit, standing in the garden of the villa, with his arms around the beautiful girl in his right hand.

"Ah."

"Let the brothers prepare."

He Dingxian said.

"clear."

Jiang Tianyang agreed very straightforwardly, if he did too much of one thing, he would become proficient. Isn't that just putting on a posture and fighting with ghosts in the street?This time the Star Ferry raised its fare, the theme is not sharp enough, how much can it fight?
He thinks it's not powerful enough!

He Dingxian put down the phone and looked towards the door: "Akun."

"big boss."

Ni Kun hurried forward, bowed and said: "The trade union brothers have received the news, and it will start tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

"Thanks for your hard work."

He Dingxian nodded slightly, turned and went upstairs.

"Ding dong."

Kowloon.

church.

In front of the courtyard of a single-family building, the electric bell rang.Ye Xien was sitting on the bed with a quilt under her body, wearing a red nightgown, grasping her boyfriend's shoulders with her ten fingers, twisting her waist continuously, and shouted with an exaggerated expression: "I'll buy you!"

"Honey."

When Du Xuekui heard the doorbell and saw that the curtains were not drawn tightly, he couldn't help saying with a guilty conscience: "Haney, someone is here."

"no one!"

"no one!"

Ye Xien ignored it, shook her hair, and said, "I'm here!"

"call"

Suddenly, as if all her strength had been drained, she limply lay on the head of the bed, adjusted her breathing at a constant speed, and enjoyed the moment of relaxation when her mind was emptied.Then, she stood up and hung the shoulder straps of her nightgown, kissed her boyfriend on the forehead, stood up and walked to the door, opened the door, looked at the young man at the door, and said in English: "Hello, who is there?"

"Mr. Ye, this is what Mr. He gave you." Zhu Youzi held a box of letters with more than 2 signatures in both hands.Ye Xien opened the box, took out an envelope and opened his eyes. He was shocked by He Dingxian's efficiency, but he was very satisfied: "Okay, put it on the table in the living room."

She took a step back, pushed the door wide, and pointed to the living room table with her finger.Lard boy's heart was full of alarm bells, and he subconsciously glanced at the vacuum zone. Based on his experience, he didn't even need to look at it, he could smell it, if there was a complex smell, and how many biological liquid components were mixed in it.

He hastily placed the box in front of the doorstep, pointed to the bedroom door and window with the curtains not drawn, and said calmly: "Mr. Ye, the window is not closed, please remember next time."

Ye Xi'en saw him turn around and run away without looking back, with a puzzled expression on his face: "I don't want to close it, what's your business? Do adults need to cover up when they do things? How dare a messenger talk to me?"

"No."

"No."

"Damn old woman, even a fat guy like me wants to do it!" Lard boy seemed to have escaped and returned to the car, slammed the door, and immediately urged his younger brother: "Go to the stable, go to the stable, I want to order a chick!" !"

"No!"

"16 years old, wash your eyes!"

The younger brother started the car and jokingly said, "Brother Zi, which eye are you washing?

"Wash your eyes all over your body."

Lard boy shouted: "You don't know, just now I was fucked by an old woman in her 50s, she opened the door and let me in, she opened the door and let me in!!!"

"Brother."

"Where are you going?"

The younger brother said with a cheap smile.

Not to mention the episode, early the next morning, the rickshaw drivers hung their sweat towels and pulled the rickshaws to their respective streets according to the division of land. ah."

"5 cents a piece."

"No matter where you go"

A citizen stood still and looked suspiciously: "One for five cents?"

"so cheap?"

The coachman immediately bent down and said, "It's Wuxian alone, no matter where he goes."

The citizen immediately packed his briefcase, stepped into the car, sat firmly and said, "Go to Tsim Sha Tsui East!"

"Let's go."

The coachman trotted.

At this time, it was twilight, and it was just after five o'clock. Most of the people who went out to the streets were two kinds of people. One was the laborers who were going to work as coolies on the wharf, and the other was the proprietors who were going to open shops. As for the roadside vendors selling breakfast, The boss who buys goods from the fruit bar occupies two to three points of the world.

In addition, there are a small number of young people who work in the company because they have to get up because of something, or young people who live in Kowloon but want to work on Hong Kong Island.In short, the bustling city is gradually recovering in the night according to the scale of every minute. There are more and more people on the street, and the sound of the market is getting louder and louder.People's hard work, sweat, and hard work have brought vitality to the city.

There are more and more people riding rickshaws on the street.According to the urban income level of Hong Kong Island, most workers earn between [-] and [-] yuan. Since there are still "immortal" units, it is substantially equivalent to the income level of "two thousand to three thousand" in later generations.

This income can guarantee the basic food and clothing, and live in the city, but it is too difficult to develop without hitting the big luck and meeting the nobles.The big family life style can only allow children to have something to eat, and come out to work to subsidize the family when they are teenagers.There are too few people who are willing to spend 1 dime to take a rickshaw at this level, just like people who earn two to three thousand will not spend ten yuan to take a taxi. However, due to the lack of electronic products, the consumer market is not enough to develop. , the monthly savings will be two or three thousand higher than that of future generations.But if the price of 1 dime is reduced to 5 cents, and the price is cut in half, more and more people can afford a taxi.

It's not that everyone needs to take a taxi, at least those who need a taxi will not consider whether it is slightly expensive, and basically accept it.Of course, this price actually violates the laws of the market and devalues ​​labor.

As a result, some citizens felt disbelief when they heard the price of the five cents, and they were even afraid of being involved in community struggles, so they dared not take a taxi.However, as more and more rickshaws started running on the streets, the slogan of 5 cents running throughout Hong Kong spread throughout Hong Kong.

A coachman made a sign and hung it on the back of the car seat, which read: "Protest against the price increase of the ferry, 5 cents will step on the whole of Hong Kong!"

This slogan immediately connected the rickshaw movement with the people's livelihood politics, which made the movement of the rickshaw association gain great support from the citizens. Everyone applauded the rickshaw trade union, which stepped on the whole of Hong Kong and spoke out for the citizens.

"Come take a ride!"

"New Territories, Kowloon, and Hong Kong Island, all for 5 cents."

"No matter where it is, it must be brought."

North Point Pier.

A customer came to Hong Kong Island by ferry and saw the rickshaw masters gathering at the gate. He was surprised to find that the number of taxi drivers was more than twice that of the past, and the number of rickshaws was three or four times more than before. There are more than 20 cars waiting.

He saw the sign hanging on the back of the rickshaw, so he knew it. He also hailed a rickshaw and asked aloud, "Master, is it 5 cents to go to Central and Repulse Bay?"

"Yes."

"The price is two or three times cheaper than usual."

"Won't your peers have any opinions?"

"This event was organized by the labor union. The price is the same for everyone in Hong Kong. In the past, anyone who dared to pay less than 1 cent would have their legs broken, but now anyone who dares to pay more than 5 cents will have their legs broken." The driver replied with a smile.The guest nodded and thought to himself: "The price of 5 cents is too cheap, what about the loss of manpower?"

"I charge you 5 cents, and the trade union pays 5 cents. You still earn a dime for pulling a car, and the association union waives the commission, so you can earn no less than before." The driver smiled: "There are more people who take taxis. If you are willing to work hard , can earn more."

"If you don't want to, at least you won't lose money."

The guest smiled and said, "It's reasonable, but where are there so many rickshaws?"

"There are no more cars at the Star Ferry Pier." The driver said with a smile, "Let them raise the fare, bah, I've seen them upset. The Star Ferry is a big company, so what's the matter? Our president said it last night. Big companies, if we run, they will all die for us!"

"Our rickshaws are all poor and lowly, but the poor and lowly are the least able to see their own people being bullied. They raise the fare for the poor, and we beat them! Give the brothers a cheap car and step on their small wheel Suspended."

The guests felt the enthusiasm of the hardworking people, and they couldn't help feeling impassioned. They said in a loud voice, "How long is this event?"

"The Ferry Company does not cut prices!"

"Non-stop!"

The driver smiled and said, "I told you, the goal of our rickshaw union this time is to stop the steamboat!"

"arrive."

The coachman stopped and lowered the shaft.

The guest took out a dime and put it in the driver's hand: "Go buy a bowl of tea if you have the extra, and continue to take your car tomorrow morning..."

"Thank you boss."

The coachman bent down again and again to thank him.

When the Yau Ma Tei Ferry's North Point Pier was bustling, the Star Ferry's Wan Chai Pier was dumbfounded when guests got off the ferry.
