History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 55 Joining the Chamber of Commerce
"That's right!" Wang Laoji slapped his thigh and said with an arrogant smile, "How can an upright businessman from Chaoshan not work in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce?"

"If you enter the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, whoever dares to blackmail your business with small means will not give the Chaoshan people face." Wang Laoji said: "Of course the big boss of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce will stand in for you, and you will no longer be an ordinary person." Uniformed police."

"If you don't do things that violate the rules of the rivers and lakes, Inspector Zonghua can't suppress you even with a gun."

He Dingxian didn't even dare to think about entering the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce before. To enter the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce needs a member's recommendation. How can ordinary uniformed policemen know the boss of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce?

Each owner of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce has a limited number of places, and generally recommends relatives and friends nearby. It does not mean that the threshold for joining the Chamber of Commerce is high, on the contrary, the threshold for joining the Chamber of Commerce is actually very low, and the Chamber of Commerce wants to expand its own strength as much as possible.

The point is, if you don't enter that circle, you will have no relevant contacts around you. How to enter the circle is a big problem.

Wang Laoji is undoubtedly an important figure in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. He can definitely be recommended to enter the Chamber of Commerce. He Dingxian will never let go of the opportunity in front of him. do."

Seeing this, Wang Laoji smiled and said: "You can, and you know how to seize opportunities. In fact, the conditions for joining the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce are not difficult. As long as you are the licensee of an upright company, or the largest shareholder, and then recommended by a member, pass the Chamber of Commerce It can be joined by a vote of the council, and there is no hard and fast rule on whether it is Chaoshan native place.”

"I can recommend you to enter the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce."

"But I have one condition."

Wang Laoji is already a good person who can let him go freely, but it is foolish to want to take benefits for nothing when interests are involved.

He Dingxian was well prepared in his heart, and decisively agreed: "Boss Wang, please tell me!"

Wang Laoji played with the teacup, pretended to be indifferent, and said: "If I meet my two godsons again in the future, let them live."

He Dingxian was stunned: "Is that so?"

Then he smiled wryly: "Both brothers Baima and Jinma are the masters of He Shenghe's Red Cudgel Hall. They have a pair of Red Cudgels and have thousands of brothers living under them. It's lucky that he doesn't trouble me. I..."

"You're smarter than them." Wang Laoji took the rebuttal, slapped the table with his palm, making the tea set rattle, and scolded in a very weak way: "The two of them are willing to degenerate, they can't get in the position, they can't compete with the other, Just ran to sell big cigarettes, seemed to show off the power and prestige for a while, but could never get out of the stage for a lifetime, compared to you, you know how to grab power with one hand and money with the other, and walk the road in a proper way."

He first yelled and scolded full of anger, and finally showed a touch of appreciation.

"It's rare for someone like you to appear in the Jianghu. If I had entered the gate of Ruihetang ten years earlier, I would have accepted you as a puppet boy first, and I would be ashamed to accept two junks into the house."

The old Jianghu of the previous generation valued face very much. People in the Jianghu must understand righteousness and have a bottom line. Selling opium may not necessarily be looked down upon, but it will definitely be poked in the back.

If it is a scumbag, it will still be Mu Qiang, and the gangsters like Wang Laoji who wash their whites and go ashore to become big bosses look down on the fun of selling opium.

He Dingxian no longer refused after hearing the words: "If I meet the Ma brothers again, I will definitely remember Boss Wang's face."

"Boss Wang, please rest assured."

Wang Laoji nodded in satisfaction: "That's fine. It's unrealistic to ask you to spare their lives 100%. In a real fight, everyone would have to be ruthless."

"Being kind to others is being cruel to yourself. I understand what you mean. If you don't hold back, you don't blame you, but they themselves."

In the future, if the younger boy on the opposite side gets ahead, he will definitely be transferred to Hong Kong Island to work, and it is inevitable that he will bump into the Ma brothers.

What's more, the Ma Brothers' white noodle business has begun to expand to Kowloon. As the first and only white noodle maker in Hong Kong, it takes a certain amount of time to replace the spiritual food of the smokers who have been smoking for a century with white flour. time.

In fact, white flour is also an extract of tobacco. After being successfully synthesized in 1884, it was released in the form of a drug in 1897. It was banned by various countries from 1912 to 1924. The production process is still written in the British Pharmacopoeia.

The first beneficiaries of all addictive drugs in the world will never be underground dealers, but high-sounding pharmaceutical companies.

"Bayer" is the biggest beneficiary.

Daying also made his fortune by taking drugs!
However, the price of flour used to be sold as a medical product was expensive, but now it has been sold underground, and the planting area has been transferred to Southeast Asia, where the climate is superior and the labor is cheap. The price has gradually decreased, and the market for opium has begun to change in the black market. The attitude of "product" has swept Europe and the United States, and is highly sought after by addicts. The reason why the Ma brothers started their business successfully is that they are "new enough", know how to introduce new guys, and start a successful business.

The sad thing is that there is still a lot of market space in Hong Kong Island. With the economic development, the second, third, and countless bookmakers will appear.

However, in the eyes of smart people, the ban on smoking on Hong Kong Island must be a matter of time. If you want to make a fortune from opium and other things, everyone may become your enemy.

Seeing that the verbal agreement was reached and the matter was over, He Dingxian clasped his hands and said goodbye: "Thank you, Boss Wang, for your support today. I gave the younger generation a pleasant surprise. Boss Wang is as bold as the rumors in the world, and there are a lot of adults!"

The flattery that there is no money made Wang Laoji chuckle and waved his hands: "I'm here, just standing at the door and talking is enough? If it spreads like this, others will say that I have a small stomach, come in, have a cup of tea before leaving .”

"Okay, then I won't be polite to Boss Wang anymore." He Dingxian walked through the front hall, stepped into the middle hall, stood beside the round table, casually picked up the teacup and drank it down, praised: "Good tea."

Wang Laoji shook his head: "No matter how good the tea is, you can't help but wait. If you wait for a long time, it will get cold, and if it's cold, it won't taste good."

"One more cup of hot tea." He Dingxian even dared to ask for tea, but Boss Wang didn't mind picking up the teapot and pouring another cup.

Tea flows out of the spout.

Someone said: "Back then, the two young men were just like you. The first time they entered the door, they were beaten and escaped by others. But they were worse than you. They were beaten with iron rods, and when they entered the door by mistake, they found no one was chasing them. I have been hiding behind the door all the time, not daring to enter the front hall."

"Ruihetang has a rule that anyone who enters the door will be offered a cup of tea. I invited them to drink a cup of tea. Now it is rare for them to come once a year."

"I will entrust someone to settle the grievances between you and them. At least they have to sell me a bit of face, and pretend that it didn't happen. What happens after that is up to fate."

The hero's twilight and the beauty's gray head are the most admirable.

He Dingxian drank his second cup of tea and left the gate of Ruihetang, but he held his hands tightly, feeling very excited.

Those who help themselves, God helps them!
Coming to see Wang Laoji today not only did not get humiliated or paid a price, on the contrary, he also got a very big benefit. It seemed that after risking his life, the road of life suddenly became smoother.

　It will be launched on the 1st, and it will be updated on the day of its release. The number of copies depends on the attitude of the brothers. In the first two months, it will be updated for a long time (how long it lasts is counted). In addition, brothers, please support and follow up more, and don’t keep books.

　　This book has been written and Junzai is still very uncertain, and he doesn't know whether he is popular or not. When it is on the shelves, he will issue a single chapter to share his writing ideas and recent developments with everyone.
