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

Chapter 205 205 As the saying goes, a brave man is not afraid to fight the real army!

Liao Taizheng chattered to Liao Baoshan about the situation in the mahjong room.

"I didn't expect that the foreign woman could play mahjong so well."

"Just mess with Thirteen Yao."

Liao Baoshan asked: "Foreign woman?"

Mrs. Liao replied: "I only know what those ladies call her, Mrs. Jane."

"It's not from the Jian family anyway."

Liao Baoshan has a good relationship with Jian Dongpu. The reason why he has money to speculate in real estate and gold is because the Bank of East Asia is willing to lend him money.

Of course Mrs. Liao is very familiar with several ladies in Jane's family.

Liao Baoshan was filled with envy: "That must be the wife of the Secretary for Works."

"It is said that Mr. Gao is favored by the Secretary for Works, Kan Lifu. From this point of view, it may not be as simple as favor."

That is, all the wives with whom we are close friends come to play mahjong. In aristocratic families, this is only allowed if the relationship is of a certain degree.

Just like Mrs. Liao, she may come over to play later, but if she wants to participate in the mahjong game, she will be a fill-in at best.

You have to wait for everyone to get familiar with each other before you can come over from time to time to organize games.

Mrs. Liao added: "Master Lianjue is also here."

Lianjue is the dharma name of He Dong's wife Zhang Jinrong. She is a philanthropic person and sometimes people like to recite her dharma name.

Liao Baoshan was shocked: "Why is she here?"

He Tung was the idol of many Chinese at that time, especially in the area of ​​frugality.

The Chinese all regard frugality as a virtue, but it is absolutely rare to find an outstanding Guhangui like He Dong.

But what Liao Baoshan admires the most is what He Dong said about people making money, making small money; making money, making big money.

It is also because of this that Liao Baoshan actively takes out loans to do things, and he is not afraid of borrowing money from banks.

Mrs. Liao said: "What's strange? He Sheng's house is right next to it."

Liao Baoshan patted his forehead. He actually forgot this level. He asked, "Mrs. Gao must have an appointment with you next time?"

"Of course."

Mrs. Liao said: "But I think even if I come, the most I can do is stand on the sidelines and watch."

"It's good to have a look."

Liao Baoshan said: "I have nothing to do at home anyway, so it would be nice to come over and take a look around."

Mrs. Liao wondered how could everything be okay at home?However, she knew that her husband wished he could have 48 hours in a day, but now he wanted to come to Gao's house by himself, which must be for a relationship.

"What did Mr. Gao say?"

Liao Baoshan remembered what Gao wanted to say at the door of the study, and he said confidently: "Mr. Gao will definitely come to deposit money."

"It would be great if Mr. Gao came in person."

Liao Baoshan inevitably has some expectations.

Mrs. Liao said casually: "I don't think so. It would be great if Mrs. Gao could come over to save money."

That's pretty much what Gao Yao meant. He said to Axia: "When the Liao Chuangxing Bank opens, you can go and deposit 10,000+."

That is to say, Mr. Gao has a lot of money, and the money came from the strong wind. In his eyes, 10,000+ seems to be just water.

You must know that 20 years ago, after Li Shipeng, known as the most watery man on Hong Kong Island, died, his inheritance was only 800 million Hong Kong dollars.

Before Axia could agree, Bai Yuechang came to join in the fun: "Mrs. Liao said that Liao Chuangxing Bank opened for activities. The smaller the deposit certificate, the higher the interest rate, up to 6%."

This is the same as saving money to send rice or oil.

Gao Yao was startled: "High-interest small deposit?"

"exactly."

Bai Yuechang said excitedly: "That's what I'm talking about."

"I'm thinking, if he does this, is he really not afraid that others will take advantage of him?"

"It's just speculation."

Gao Yao laughed. This move was similar to that of queuing up to deliver eggs in later generations.

Chaozhou people have always been bold, and Liao Baoshan is one of the best. This approach is obviously to speculate on savers' money.

This is in line with the old saying that Tsinghua University and Peking University are not as bold as they are bold. It is no wonder that this person can rise to become a wealthy man in middle age.

However, he had already agreed, and the person came to visit him in the name of a Chaozhou person. He was interested in his reputation, so he definitely couldn't cross the bridge and draw a ban.

He said, "Nothing, I'll just make a deposit."

"How was your mahjong game?"

Bai Yuechang sighed: "I don't think I can deal with this kind of manipulative person, so I have to rely on Axia, right, Axia?"

She has rough lines, she smiles when she sees good cards, and frowns when she sees bad cards. Even a fool can make money from her.

In other words, the warm-hearted Axia can fight back and forth with ladies from all walks of life.

Gao Yao thought that Axia was right, and it seemed that Liu Meiren had to come over from time to time to help support the situation.

Thinking of this, Mr. Gao's thoughts suddenly changed. He looked at Axia and said, "Ms. Liu from Renxiao Hall should be quite good at playing cards."

"Yue Chang, if you can't play, go to the salon. You can ask Ms. Liu to come over and play cards."

Axia responded with a calm expression: "Okay."

Bai Yuechang tilted her head: "Salon?"

Gao Yao said with a smile: "That's what the upper class is like, either growing flowers or dancing for charity."

"If you ask me, people like Po Leung Kuk should also go and take a walk."

“Just follow your heart and donate when you need to.”

For the upper class, the role of a wife is just that, to help spread the name.

Bai Yuechang clapped her little hands and said, "We can do whatever Mrs. Jian does?"

Gao Yao laughed: "Good Chang, you are so exquisite."

"You're so helpful, I think I have to be a brave man today."

Bai Yuechang asked curiously: "What kind of brave man?"

Gao Yao smiled and said: "As the saying goes, a brave man is not afraid of fighting the real army."

"You die for me."

……

If you want to get ahead, you must be brave and fearless. This is Lei Luo's motto after several defeats. After confirming that Zhou Xueer was probably his second chance in life, he used all his enthusiasm!
Lei Luo is a good-looking guy who was beaten in the errand room. He knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to move forward and retreat, and has a sweet mouth. To be honest, it is difficult for any girl to reject him.

Zhou Xueer's changes are visible to the naked eye. She is always smiling every day. This was not the case when she was at home before.

Zhou Xinian finally figured it out. I'm afraid this daughter of the family will not be able to escape Lei Luo's clutches unless he intervenes.

"Cher."

Zhou Xinian is in his prime. From a political point of view, he still has at least several decades of political life, otherwise Zhou Junnian would not have given him the chairmanship of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce.

It is nothing more than hoping that this cousin can continue the Zhou family's political career.

Zhou Xueer, who was drawing, turned back: "Dady."

Zhou Xinian's mouth twitched: "Are you painting abstract paintings or Chinese style paintings?"

Zhou Xueer lowered her head and saw, oh, it turned out that she wanted to draw a cat, but ended up drawing a fat tiger.

"Dady, please stop playing tricks on me."

Zhou Xueer acted coquettishly: "I just learned it."

"I think your soul has been taken away by someone."

Zhou Xueer blushed and said weakly: "Is it so obvious?"

Zhou Xichang sighed: "Even a fool can see it."

Done!

He felt happy and worried in his heart. What he was happy about was that Xueer was clean and caring outside. She must have never been in love, so she couldn't resist Lei Luo's enthusiasm.

What's worrying is that Lei Luo comes from a poor background, and if he rises to greatness one day, he might become a nouveau riche. "Don't you want to be a nurse?"

Zhou Xinian said: "I have already said hello to Tung Wah Group of Hospitals. You can go directly there when the time comes."

He is the former president of the Chinese Medical Association and the chairman of Po Leung Kuk for 41 years. Arranging for his daughter to become a nurse in Tung Wah Group of Hospitals is a piece of cake.

"Thank you Dady."

Zhou Xueer smiled happily: "Then I will go there tomorrow."

Zhou Xinian didn't say anything, then he pondered and asked seriously: "Xue'er, tell me honestly, what do you think of this young man Lei Luo?"

Zhou Xueer hesitated and whispered: "Dady, Brother Luo is very good."

There was no such thing as free love at that time. Nine out of ten cases were arranged. Those like Zhou Xueer and Lei Luo could still see each other every day. That was because someone high-ranking was acting as the middle man.

"Invite him to come to our house for dinner tonight."

The paintbrush in Zhou Xueer's hand fell directly to the ground, and she said blankly: "Dady."

"Silly boy."

Zhou Xinian said: "Although the lintel of my Zhou family is not high, I can't always leave you alone."

"Under melon fields and plum blossoms, it doesn't look good to be empty."

Zhou Xueer's heart was pounding, she felt a little fast, and she felt lost for a moment.

"If you can't, then we will reject him."

Zhou Xueer's pretty face was slightly red, and she flipped up her hair in a panic: "Dady, I'm going to make a call."

Lei Luo was stunned on the spot. Did he pass the test?

"Xue'er, I'll be here right away. Don't worry, I, Lei Luo, swear to God that I will never let you down in this life."

Lei Luo turned around and called Gao Yao. Fortunately, Gao Yao had just won two big victories and had no time to go out, so he was able to receive the call.

"I want brother."

Lei Luo felt a little guilty for no reason, he really had no confidence.

There is no way, just like Zhou Xinian's self-effacing attitude, although the Zhou family's lintel may not look high, there are not many aristocratic families in Hong Kong whose lintels are higher than his.

As for Lei Luo, who was barefoot, even Changji couldn't handle it at first, let alone the Zhou family this time.

"Doctor Zhou wants to have a conversation between Taishan and my uncle."

Gao Yao had experienced this scene before, but the difference was that Bai Yuechang, a black-hearted woman, was firmly on his side. Moreover, Gao Yao already had a reputation at that time, so he could easily pass the test.

"I can't help you with this."

Gao Yao said calmly: "Remember, at critical moments, people must rely on themselves."

People must rely on themselves!
As if Lei Luo was struck by lightning, his panicked heart began to calm down, and his breathing gradually became smoother. Yes, Brother Yao can indeed take him on the road, but how far he can go still depends on himself.

Now is my second life choice!

Lei Luo said: "I know how to do it, thank you brother."

"I can definitely pass this level."

It's just asking for a wife, it's like trying to get through.

Gao Yao smiled slightly: "Keep a normal mind and think about it, what do you have for the Zhou family?"

future!

Lei Luo can be seen now, just a small role, but in the future he can dream.

And this depends on whether he can work hard and whether he can work hard enough.

After all, as the old saying goes, it’s up to the individual to lead him to practice, and this mud can’t hold up the wall.

Lei Luo often comes to Banshan recently. Before, he came to see Gao Yao, and recently, he came to see Zhou Xueer home.

Looking at the power peak in front of him, Lei Luo swore that no matter how difficult it was, he would pass this level.

Zhou Xueer stood in front of the Zhou family's gate. When she saw Lei Luo, she came forward in surprise and started talking about the situation.

"Brother Luo, I can't accompany you later."

"If you love me, please devote yourself to me."

Zhou Xueer stood on tiptoes and whispered: "Dady has a good name."

These words were like a sharp sword thrust into Lei Luo's mind, clicking, clicking, making his mind clear all of a sudden.

"Cher."

Lei Luo said confidently: "You must be from my Lei family."

Zhou Xueer's pretty face was flushed, her eyes were wandering, and she looked a little smoky.

"Dad is waiting for you in the study."

Of course, when we talk about business, we go to the study. Just like Lei Luo would be taken to the study every time he went to Gao Yao's house, he was used to it.

Zhou Xueer took Lei Luo to the study door and knocked on the door: "Dady, Lei Luo is here."

"Enter."

Before Lei Luo approached, he smiled brightly at Zhou Xueer: "Trust me."

If there was a song, Zhou Xueer would definitely want to sing it, whose heart is quietly melting...

Lei Luo pushed the door open and walked in resolutely. Zhou Xinian was sitting at the head of the tea table.

"Can you make Chaozhou Gongfu tea?"

"Yes, uncle."

Drinking Gongfu tea is a daily life for Chaozhou people. After a meal or when guests come to visit or when friends meet, it is always accompanied by a pot of tea.

Lei Luo knows this very well.

The advantage of standing in a high position is that you can see far. Of course, you must have the ability to discern.

Otherwise, wouldn’t those observers see farther?

Zhou Xinian is such a person who stands in a high position and has the ability to discern. He is now an unofficial member and often participates in meetings held by the Hong Kong government.

He himself is very good at this, and he has some friendships with the people in charge of various departments, including the Statistics Department.

According to the Department of Statistics, among the people from Guangfu who have come to Hong Kong Island in recent years, the majority are from Chaozhou, followed by people from Wuyi and Dongguan...

This is a number that most people won't pay attention to, but it makes Zhou Xinian feel horrified.

In fact, many Teochew people came to Hong Kong Island in the past, but most of those people went to Nanyang!As a result, a new wave of Teochew people are now staying in Hong Kong Island instead of going to Nanyang?
What does this mean?
"uncle."

Lei Luo respectfully handed the teacup to Zhou Xinian.

"Not bad."

Zhou Xinian took a sip. Although the young man could tell he was a little nervous, he was generally neither humble nor overbearing.

It's good to have a big heart and a strong government.

"Plain clothes only earn a few hundred yuan a month, and you have to be scolded."

Zhou Xinian said casually: "Why don't you come out and help me."

"I believe Xue'er should have told you that my Zhou family has a lot of business."

Lei Luo refused immediately. He didn't know whether Zhou Xinian was trying to trick him or test him, but he knew that his brother would never allow him to leave his job.

And Lei Luo himself doesn’t want to!
"Thank you uncle."

Lei Luo said: "But I think people still need to do the security matters."

"Insanity!"

With a snap, Zhou Xinian lifted the heavy tea bowl to the table.
"I don't know how to lift!"

"Do you know how many people are waiting for this opportunity outside?"

Zhou Xinian scolded: "If it weren't for Xue'er's sake, would I have given you this opportunity?"

"What future can a flowery waist have?"

"Have!"

Lei Luo replied calmly: "Uncle, actually being an errand is also very promising!"
