Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 179 179: How dare you slander Mr. Gao?Burned his stall
Recently, Gao Yao's reputation on Hong Kong Island has been too loud, from rescuing people in Sai Ying Pun to developing the tallest building to the wedding of the century.

If Hong Kong people count on their fingers, my dear, Mr. Gao has covered all the hot spots in the first half of the year.

But after all, everyone is interested in the wedding of the century.

"Chow Tai Fook advertised that it has been authorized by Mr. Gao and can order Mr. Gao's same dragon and phoenix gown from now on, with three price levels!"

"The highest price is 16.8! Damn! Who can afford it?"

"The Liao Family Watch Shop also advertised, saying that the diamond that Mr. Gao got when he got married came from this watch shop. It is the only one on Hong Kong Island. Don't miss it if you pass by."

"The Peninsula Hotel also said that it can provide the same wedding as Mr. Gao."

"Hey, look, even HSBC came out to join in the fun. It said it had authorized a loan for Mr. Gao's tallest building."

The neighbors gasped, HSBC, this is the God of Wealth in Hong Kong Island, but I have never heard of any Chinese successfully getting a loan from it.

Look, this is going on again and again. Even Jian Lifu and Mrs. Jian who are halfway up the mountain know it.

Especially Mrs. Jane, she laughed while reading the newspaper: "Our dear Mr. Gao's reputation has surpassed that of the Governor of Hong Kong."

"The gazettes from high places began to comment on Mr. Gao."

Jian Lifu drank coffee slowly: "Easterners have a saying that every tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind."

Mrs. Jian giggled: "If a tree is as beautiful as the forest wind, it will be destroyed!"

"My dear, you still have to learn this."

The two people were discussing the content of a newspaper. The content seemed to be very ordinary. It was nothing more than accusing the Hong Kong government of not saying anything about Gao Yao, who worked bravely to save people in Sai Ying Pun.

According to the above statement, given Gao Yao's current reputation, it is not an exaggeration to give him a Justice of the Peace!
Outsiders watch the excitement, while insiders watch the doorway.

Mrs. Jian then said with a worried look on her face: "This man has a terrible heart."

If outsiders don’t know, how can they still know?
The current Governor of Hong Kong, Mr Yeung Mok-ki, had been imprisoned during the Japanese occupation and had stains on his body. Therefore, although he was reinstated as Governor of Hong Kong after liberation, he has actually been kept out of sight.

It's like cold treatment.

How can we award an award without his approval?

What Mrs. Jian knew was that there was absolutely no way Yang Muqi could come out at this time.

"no way."

Jian Lifu said: "It is not easy for me to persuade the Governor to approve the development of high-rise buildings."

"As for the medal, we can only wait until His Excellency the Governor comes later."

"Let's take a look."

Mrs. Jane sighed: "I'm just afraid that it will get worse by then."

Honors come from top to bottom, and whether they are given or not is a matter for those above. But now someone is stepping out to force the Hong Kong government to issue awards. How is this possible?

"Perhaps, may I remind Mr. Gao? There will always be bread, and there will also be milk. The premise is that it can be boiled."

Mrs. Jane pursed her lips: "MR. Gao's two wives are already upper-class people, but they have never participated in upper-class salons. How is this allowed?"

Jian Lifu pondered for a moment, then said, "We are just reminding you."

"The rest depends on MR. Gao's own understanding."

He looked at the newspaper in his hand and unconsciously recalled a sentence in his mind, water can carry a boat and it can also capsize it.

MR. Gao likes to use newspapers and publicity to improve his reputation. Now others are using the same method. It depends on how he takes it.

Gao Yao learned the news when he returned home. It was Lin Jing who reported the news: "Master, there are a lot of rumors in the market now."

What does a housekeeper do?In managing internal and external matters, some of them are concerned about newspapers and publicity.

But it was Afen who read the newspaper, and she carefully cut out and pasted the contents together, so Gao Yao could see it very clearly.

"interesting."

Gao Yao smiled and said, "Who is this guy who wants to praise me and kill me?"

Gao Mou actually didn't care about this, but he remembered that it was not easy to gain fame. It would be a bit uneconomical to lose popularity because of this.

"Go and invite Mr. Sun over and say I'll treat him to a family dinner."

Mr. Sun is Sun Liren. Ever since he was the first to report the incident in Sai Ying Pun, his fate and that of Gao Yao have been bound together.

To put it simply, Sun Liren was a member of Gao Yao's ship. If Gao Yao's ship capsized, he, the crew member, would also fall into the water.

"master."

Affen stepped forward to ask for instructions: "Ms. Jane Heath invited the two ladies to enjoy the flowers."

At that time, Hong Kong Island held a famous flower competition every year, and all the ladies from the upper class participated. The main purpose was to have fun and make friends with each other.

The reason why Gao Yao knew this was because Liu Meiren told him before. Speaking of this, Gao Yao suddenly thought of this little widow...

By the way, the pretty widow is still observing her filial piety?

"Go."

Gao Yao said: "Let the ladies have fun."

Having said this, Gao Yao remembered that he had to be close to Axia and the others.
"Go to Ah Jin and ask him to pick some people to come over and protect the ladies."

This was said to Lin Jing. The two of them left separately. When Lin Jing was talking to Gao Jin, he mentioned it in passing: "Brother Jin, someone outside has been slandering me recently."

After hanging up the phone, Gao Jin first asked someone to buy a copy of all the newspapers published today. After studying for a while, he found that these seemed to be tabloids. Wasn't this a clear attempt to trick his brother?

I immediately called Huang Keqiang.

"These white-eyed men are crazy and messing with Big Brother, give them some color and see."

Huang Keqiang was filled with indignation: "These four-eyed guys are full and full. I will deal with them."

"After this is done, you can take the brothers directly to Shihu Ruins."

Gao Jin has always done things in a measured way, and he was named Huang Keqiang because he was planning to send him to Shihuxu to open a court when he was rewarded for his loyalty and righteousness.

Now, wait until Huang Keqiang finishes his work and then go to Shihuxu Yimao. Who will look for him?

It's really hard to find someone with no name or surname in Hong Kong these days, but it's very easy to find someone with a name like a newspaper.

Soon, several tabloids on Liyuan East Street suffered first. A group of masked men rushed into the newspaper office. They did not say anything, but smashed everything in the newspaper office.

Finally, before leaving, someone said: "Think carefully about what you did wrong."

As long as newspapers can be found in places, they are basically treated equally, so the news will naturally spread to the ears of interested people very quickly.

It also penetrated into Gao Yao's ears.

"Mr. Gao, everything cannot be solved solely by violence."

The person who spoke was Sun Liren. When Lin Jing called him, he was still outside collecting news. It was more than two hours after he reported it to the newspaper. Naturally, he also received news from other newspapers.Sun Liren took it for granted that it was Gao Gao who gave the order, and immediately rushed to Gao's house to dissuade him: "We use newspapers to resolve newspaper matters. This can easily intensify conflicts and allow people to take advantage of them."

Gao Yao was stunned. He really didn't know about this, but he thought what Sun Liren said was a bit wrong, because in this era, the best way to solve things is violence.

For example, after the 70s, the attitudes toward Haojiang and Xiangjiang were completely different.

Why is this happening?It says that Haojiang has no support and the area is small and there are few people, so where do we have to rely on?

No, no, no, two different things.

Just because later on, due to issues such as wages and workers being bullied, the market could no longer bear it, so a strike was organized in Haojiang, resulting in the largest riot in Haojiang in more than 400 years since its opening as a port!
Scholars are still a bit idealistic. Although Gao Yao disagreed in his heart, he said: "Mr. Sun, I really don't know about this."

"Perhaps, it's possible that ordinary citizens are outraged."

"but!"

Gao Yao emphasized: "I am firmly opposed to violence."

To prove this point, he even began to agree with Asan's point of view: "I have always admired Gandhi's non-violent non-cooperation movement."

Sun Liren nodded. This was the righteous man he knew who risked his life for the lives of others.

He doesn't know that people's hearts are very complicated, and crocodiles can shed tears too.

"Mr. Gao, everyone's opinion wins gold."

Sun Liren said: "I think there may be conspirators behind this matter."

"But it doesn't matter. Conspiracies have been hidden from the light since ancient times. Until now, it's just some side stories being exposed."

Gao Yao also thought so. He said: "Mr. Sun, saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. I have never thought of getting any benefits from this matter."

"Please tell me my colleagues in the industry about this matter. I will pay you every penny."

"I will handle it."

Sun Liren was about to leave, but was stopped by Gao Yao.

"Mr. Sun, you are a great talent, why should you be inferior to others?"

This incident reminded Gao Yao that in the next few decades, newspapers on Hong Kong Island can be said to be the leaders in the public opinion circle.

You can expose yourself, and so can others. After thinking about it, it would be better to start a newspaper yourself.

"I have a construction site open in Clear Water Bay."

Gao Yao said: "If Mr. Sun doesn't mind, I am willing to help Mr. Sun open a newspaper."

Sun Liren was stunned, he pushed down his glasses, and then stammered: "It's a bit sudden."

Gao Yao expressed his understanding, and he smiled and said: "Mr. Sun, you are a scholar, and you should know that war is impermanent, power is impermanent, and water is impermanent."

"How is it possible in this world that everything goes according to plan?"

Gao Yao said sincerely: "I am a rough man. As long as Mr. Sun nods, Mr. Sun will be in charge of this newspaper."

Sun Liren was moved. Who with a pen doesn't want to express his opinions freely?But he also had to remind: "Mr. Gao, newspapers may not make money."

Gao Yao said leisurely: "Not everything in this world requires money."

"For the sake of ideals, so what if we lose a little money?"

"it is good!"

Sun Liren originally admired Gao Yao's noble character, and these days, he relied heavily on Gao Yao's reputation to achieve his current aura.

People said that they must improve Mr. Gao. In this case, it would be better to work directly for Mr. Gao, so he simply said: "Mr. Gao, I, Aren, will work with you from now on."

Gao Yao was extremely happy. He pulled Sun Liren affectionately and said, "Ren, you and I are just like Zhuge Liang meeting Liu Bei. I have no worries."

"Let's go to Clearwater Bay now."

Sun Liren was stunned: "Boss, we still have to solve your problem."

"Let the bullets fly a little longer."

Gao Yao didn't care about the slander at all. How could he care about other people's opinions after reviving his life?It’s just about the size of the benefit.

"The most important thing is to show you the place."

To be honest, Gao Yao had not been to Clearwater Bay for a long time. He really needed to see what was going on in this entertainment kingdom that he had envisioned.

Of course we had to go to Clear Water Bay by boat, but this time Gao Yao didn't find a fishing boat, but a yacht he hired in Causeway Bay.

At that time, Hong Kong Island was a world of two polarities. The rich were rich and the poor were poor. Anyway, there were all kinds of enjoyment here, and yachts were of course no exception.

The feeling of being on a yacht is very good. You can drink champagne and eat Western snacks while bathing in the sea breeze on the deck.

Gao Yao said: "It may be difficult to travel for the time being. When the time comes, I will buy a yacht to facilitate travel and talk."

"No no no."

Having said that, Sun Liren was under a lot of pressure. The profit from running a newspaper at that time was indeed not very big. It would be until everyone developed the habit of reading newspapers later that the profit would become substantial.

Sun Liren quickly said: "Boss, there should be a minibus going there."

"You can also take a boat."

"The sea is rough, but this is reliable."

Gao Yaoyao always pays well when employing people. He thinks it is better than keeping people's appetites. If people don't have any money in their stomachs, how can they have the strength to fight for it?

At that time, Tseung Kwan O was a fishing village, and you could often see the sampans coming out of the lottery. The barefoot boat ladies on them had wheat-colored skin and looked much healthier than those on the shore.

The land Gao wanted to buy was still inside. He put his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance. This place was really a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.In later generations, Uncle Six really shouldn't have sold this land to engage in real estate development. As a result, there was no filming base for subsequent Hong Kong films.

"Good place."

Sun Liren sighed: "I feel so relaxed and happy."

Of course, the reason why I feel relaxed and happy is that there are no building obstructions here, and the scholars are secretive in their speech.

Gao Yao said: "Mr. Sun, 3 years, at most 3 years."

The dust ahead is getting bigger. Needless to say, that is the destination.

Gao Yao pointed to the front and said: "This will become the entertainment kingdom of Hong Kong Island."

This is Gao Yao's obsession. How can he not get involved in the entertainment industry when he comes to Hong Kong Island?
The next few decades were a period of vigorous development for Hong Kong films, let alone production and quality. This is something the whole world knows.

The quality of these actresses is extraordinary. They are all high-quality people who came from the mainland. After all, they will be middle-aged by then, full of energy and capable of doing things.

Sun Liren thought to himself that his boss had already planned something. Thinking about it, he became more confident about following Gao Yao to work for the newspaper.
