History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 80 The Wave of the Times
Before leaving work, Jiang Zuhui hurriedly left the mission hall in his jacket and notebook.

In the evening, He Dingxian returned home to hang up his clothes, and saw Zhu Youzai holding a teacup, sitting in the living room with a bright smile: "Brother Xian."

"Azai, have you found the news?" He Dingxian sat on a chair and took the hot tea from his subordinates. Zhu Youzai waited until the boss finished drinking the tea before saying, "I found it!"

"Tanmu Lei borrowed money from Xinheng Bank on Lee Tung Street, totaling 1 Hong Kong dollars, repaying [-] a year, one installment per month, and currently there are four remaining installments, totaling [-] Hong Kong dollars. "

He Dingxian had expected it a long time ago, nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is on my territory. Fortunately, there is no profit, which somewhat saves face for A Luo."

"After all, Lei Luo is a Tanmu." Lard Boy was slightly sarcastic, joking, and now he looked down on Lei Luo a bit.

It's not about respect, it's because after being with brother Xian, I feel that ordinary visits are almost meaningless.

It's even more pitiful that Lei Luo owes a whole lot of debt.

Lee Tung Street is also an underground financial district where a large number of banks gather.

He Dingxian said: "Go to Xinheng Bank to borrow some money."

Lard Boy showed astonishment, and raised his eyes to meet the eyes of the big boss, and suddenly realized something in his heart: "I understand, I must borrow more."

"I have seen your ability to borrow money." He Dingxian smiled: "I believe you."

"But I want so much money, so much money that it would bankrupt Xinheng."

Lard Boy was silent, and said aloud: "Then we can only use the factory as a mortgage."

"Well, but don't worry, talk to them slowly, do it honestly, and wait for my news before getting the money." He Dingxian cautiously ordered: "If there is no word from the superior, there is no need to borrow the money."

Zhu Youzai nodded slightly: "The boss behind Xinheng Bank is Yu Shaohong from Hecheng, who belongs to the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, and is actually a member of Li Guanchun, the chairman of the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce."

"I know Li Guanchun." He Dingxian nodded: "The founder of the Bank of East Asia, the son of the banking tycoon Li Shipeng, and the successor of the Li family in Wuyi."

"Yes." Zhu Youzai saw that the big boss knew it well, so he didn't mention it any more.

He Dingxian watched Lard Boy crossing the sea hard, so he left him to eat dinner at the house, but before dinner was half eaten, Yan Xiong ran to the door of the house and shouted: "Brother Xian, Brother Xian!"

He Dingxian's heart skipped a beat when he heard the voice: "It's Ah Xiong, my brother in Wanchai District, tell him to come in."

"Understood, Brother Xian." Zhu Youzi had seen Yan Xiong's name a long time ago, and silently paid more attention to it, and then went out to invite someone in.After Yan Xiong stood at attention and saluted, he said very simply: "Brother Hui called the police station, please come to the stadium in the southern district, and let you go immediately."

"Okay!" He Dingxian also put down his chopsticks without hesitation and got up, put on his shirt jacket again, hung up his gun, turned around and shouted to the kitchen: "Mom, I'm going out for a while."

"Understood." A voice came from the kitchen, and Lard Boy hurriedly got up: "Brother Xian, I'll accompany you there."

He Dingxian did not refuse, and patted Yan Xiong on the shoulder by the way: "Ah Xiong, let's go together."

Yan Xiong nodded in agreement, and the three quickly left the house and rushed to the Royal Golf Course in the Southern District by rickshaw, the "Royal Golf Course" located in Deep Water Bay in the Southern District.

This golf course was established by the "Hong Kong Island Golf Club". It has always been a playground for British military officers and government officials. Like horse racing, it is an exclusive high-end entertainment for ghosts.

In the early years, the address and the Jockey Club were generally built in "Happy Valley", which is why "Happy Valley" on Hong Kong Island got its name.

On February 1918, 2, the annual horse race was held on Hong Kong Island. Firecrackers were set off and a fire broke out. The flames swept across the entire racecourse and caused a tragic tragedy. The number of deaths recorded in the records reached "26".

This is where the term "explosive" commonly used on Hong Kong Island comes from.

Later, both the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club and the Golf Club were relocated to build venues. The first new venue of the Golf Club was in Deep Water Bay. In 1897, with the support of the then Governor, the Hong Kong Island Golf Club was approved by the Queen of England. The word "Royal" was changed to "Royal Hong Kong Island Golf Club", and a second course was expanded in Fanling, New Territories.

So far, in order to maintain the relationship with the ghosts, the top Chinese executives and bosses in Hong Kong Island have always been enthusiasts of horse racing and golf.

The so-called "advanced sports" are always created by people at the bottom, but only played by high-level people, and it becomes a kind of sport over time.

Social attributes are greater than athletic attributes.

Such as Gao Yongsheng and other Chinese who work on Hong Kong Island, if they play golf, they must be on the No. [-] course on Hong Kong Island.

He Dingxian led people to the gate of the Royal Stadium, reported the name of Inspector Zonghua, and then entered the stadium in an English carriage.

Both Zhu Youzai and Yan Xiong came back to the Royal Club for the first time, their excitement and curiosity could not be concealed under their pretended calm expressions.

The British aristocratic carriage is very different from the carriage that pulls goods. Even if it is bumpy, it can produce a sense of superiority.

He Dingxian felt that it was better than a human-powered rickshaw, and a car was like a car, but the ball club was indeed something for high-level people to play. In the era when cars were not popular, using a horse-drawn carriage was mainly to highlight an aristocratic temperament!
When Jiang Zuhui saw a carriage parked beside the stadium, he turned his head and waved to the figure who had just got off the carriage, "Axian, come here!"

"Sir!"

He Dingxian responded loudly, and quickly stepped forward.

Zhu Youzai and Yan Xiong got out of the car, they were very interesting, they stood motionless on the side of the road outside the stadium, no different from the ten plainclothes detectives nearby.

Younger brothers are younger brothers.

Jiang Zuhui was the first to hand over a club when his subordinates were about to salute and asked, "Will it be?"

He Dingxian pretended to be distressed and complained: "Brother Hui, you are embarrassing me..."

"Hahaha." A man in the middle, wearing a black suit and holding the club with both hands, turned his head and smiled after playing a round, "Ah Hui, don't make things difficult for young people."

Gao Yongsheng is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, but the sky is full, the ground is round, the nasal bone is tall and powerful, and he is inhaling with a pipe in his mouth.

A boss of this level is always unforgettable at first sight. I don't know if it's because of psychological reasons, or if he really has the temperament of a superior.

Seeing his gaze, He Dingxian quickly stood at attention and saluted, and shouted solemnly: "Hello, sir!"

"Axian, get the cue first." Gao Yongsheng supported the cue with one hand, took down the pipe with the other, and stood on the grass and said, "Today, I asked you to play, not to stand guard."

"Yes!"

"Sir!"

He Dingxian put down his arm, took the cue stick obediently, and weighed it in his hand, making sure that he won't knock it down, but he can hold it firmly.

Gao Yongsheng nodded in satisfaction and said: "Although ghost things are boring, but learning one more skill will always be useful. After all, Gao Qi can be a handsome man... Besides, Hong Kong Island is the world of ghosts. Let's play ball for work and make the ghost happy, maybe the brothers can get more money."

"The officer is right." He Dingxian replied solemnly, just to save the officer's face, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Gao Yongsheng probably also knew that his subordinates were not interested in preaching, so he turned around and handed the pipe to Jiang Zuhui, and continued to play two shots.

It is worth mentioning that his golf skills are poor, and every shot is flying around.

He Dingxin could see to some extent that this guy didn't like playing golf either, and he came to the golf course just to practice, maybe just to play with the ghost to practice his hands.

Half an hour later, Gao Yongsheng sat on a chair in Lvyinping, put down his clubs, took a sip of mineral water, and said aloud: "Axian, when Brother Mu introduced you to me, I thought you were just ruthless." , have courage, I never thought that your brain is more useful."

"Some people like their subordinates to be brainless and dare to fight, some people like their subordinates to be smart and eye-catching, and I like my subordinates to do things smoothly."

He paused, and said very sharply: "You are in my favor."

"Thank you, sir." He Dingxian sat beside him and replied hastily.

Gao Yongsheng said: "If you think well, you must do it beautifully. If you only think about it, you won't be able to do things. It won't work."

"Axian, if I can handle the above matters, will I take my brothers to fight?"

He Dingxian's expression was calm, everything was expected, and he said solemnly: "Okay!"

"That line, everything starts with the Qianzhuangye in Wanchai District. Try it according to your plan. If you can complete the first step, the second step, and the third step are all up to you."

Gao Yongsheng offered very good conditions: "In the future, your name will definitely resound throughout Hong Kong and Macau!"

The meaning is self-evident.

He Dingxian responded with a smile: "Thank you for your cultivation, sir."

"Hey." Gao Yongsheng shook his hand and said sincerely: "If you can sit next to me, then you are all my own people, and you have to support me. Besides, you are so capable. To be honest, you have a similar idea. It's been going around in my head all the time."

"It's just probably because I'm used to sticking to the old rules and dare not break into it. I always feel that the timing is not right, I don't have enough time, and I don't have such a specific plan."

"It wasn't until Ah Hui called me and told me that I suddenly realized that the time had come!"

In history, nothing is accomplished overnight. The emergence of a new order in the world is due to internal reasons of the times, and it is impossible for no one to think of it.

With the expansion of Chinese forces in the police force, the rapid growth of Hong Kong Island's economy, the landing of associations, shipping dividends, and flour replacing opium into Hong Kong Island.

Gui Lao's panic about the situation on the peninsula, the collusion and contradictions of the law enforcement agencies, everything is an internal cause, but one is not enough, all of them together will definitely reshape the rules!
It's just because the Chaoshan Gang is powerful and occupies the first place in the police force, so in the end it is the people from the Chaoshan Gang who stand out and lead the police force to establish order.

And because He Dingxian became more famous and popular, he was favored by Inspector Zonghua. If there was no He Dingxian, there would be Lei Luo, and there would be others without Lei Luo. Without the Chaoshan Gang, the Dongguan Gang, and the Wuyi Gang could all join!
However, the Chaoshan gang has grown rapidly because of grabbing the dividends of the times, and will eventually become the dominant faction of the police force for a while.

When He Dingxian heard the words, he praised: "The officer is standing above the sky for the brothers. Naturally, he feels the burden on his shoulders is heavy, and he dare not move easily."

"It's not like me, who ventured into the rivers and lakes with his life and dared to do anything."

Gao Yongsheng said with a smile: "This is your character. I think you should start a family early."

Jiang Zuhui smiled knowingly.

Gao Yongsheng said again: "When we meet in private in the future, just call me Brother Sheng. I'm different from that old Liu Fu. I'm only in my early forties. I won't be a master so soon."

"Understood, Brother Sheng." He Dingxian replied.

"I think according to your plan, the ghost will definitely not sweep my face, because everyone can benefit from it. At the beginning, it was to test the waters with an industry in Wanchai District. It didn't touch the association or the big shots. If it can't be carried out, it will be closed. Hands are too late."

"You lack understanding of the upper echelons. In fact, a director of Wanchai is not qualified to sit down and chat with the Financial Management Bureau and the Food Bureau. After all, those two departments are relatively powerful." Gao Yongsheng raised his legs, shook his pipe, and said : "I will ask the assistant director to come forward to talk in person. Even if we can't reach an agreement, there will be enough time for you to operate."

"It's just that the business is easy to talk about. In the future, how many stalls for side businesses should be set up on a street has to be planned. While giving food to other township communities, the brothers in the Chaoshan Gang must be full." Gao Yongsheng deserves it. He is the representative of the Chaoshan Gang, and he is very concerned about the interests of the Chaoshan Gang, and even a side business.

"I understand that the stalls focus on fellow villagers, and they can also get the support of fellow villagers' associations. When making rules, they dare not speak up when they hit other associations." He Dingxian said aloud.

Gao Yongsheng said with a slight nod of his head: "That's how we think about it. When you travel, you must know how to unite. When dealing with ghosts, you should call on the Chinese to unite. When you are fighting for business, you must unite with your fellow villagers."

In fact, there is one point that has not been mentioned, that is, once the rules of the rivers and lakes are re-established, the power of the Chaoshan Gang will expand, and at the same time, it will be able to benefit the positive momentum of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.

The bosses of the chamber of commerce will not rely on people from the rivers and lakes to fight and kill, but with the backing of horses and horses, it will be much more convenient to do various businesses. As long as there are fewer people looking for trouble, the way of making money will naturally follow.

If the plan can be carried out, the support of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce will definitely be there.

Gao Yongsheng turned his head and said, "Ah Hui, during this period of time, the missions are asked to submit the accounts of previous years for statistics. The number of stalls in each street and the site of the club have to be clarified again."

"No problem." Jiang Zuhui nodded quickly.

Gao Yongsheng said again: "Also, take out the gift I gave Ah Xian."

Jiang Zuhui turned and left the court with a smile, and took out a wooden box from a cabinet in the lounge.He Dingxian really didn't expect there to be a gift, and when Brother Hui came back holding the wooden box and handed it to him, he was also a little surprised.

"Open it and have a look." Gao Yongsheng raised his eyebrows and asked.

He Dingxian opened the wooden box on the spot, and inside was a high-grade pipe made of heather root, with smooth lines and even proportions. The mouthpiece was decorated with agate, and the details were outlined with patterns. There was also a bag of tobacco beside the wooden box. High-end goods are coming.

The shape and material of this pipe are exactly the same as that used by Inspector Zonghua.

He Dingxian was a little surprised in his heart, and immediately closed the wooden box, and said aloud: "Thank you, Brother Sheng!"

Gao Yongsheng smiled indifferently: "I heard that you smoke, so you deliberately took out the collections at home and worked hard. On the matter of establishing rules, the entire Wanchai police station is your business!"

"Ahui, cooperate well with Axian."

Jiang Zuhui responded immediately: "Yes, sir!"

　The [-]D update is over, and I will start coding tomorrow.

　　Junzai really didn't save the manuscript, and he woke up comfortably in the morning, but also had a headache.

　　Ask for a monthly pass! ! !
