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

Chapter 219 Chapter 219: First copycat, then innovate, Mr. Gao’s shipbuilding business
Ge Zhaohuang was born in Heyuan County, Guangdong. After joining the Fuxing Society, he served as a commissioner at the Huiyang Investigation Office of the Guangdong Anti-Smuggling Department.

In 1943, the military commander sent him to Jiangxi to serve as the captain of the "Jiangxi Independent Action Brigade", with the task of carrying out harassment activities in Japanese-occupied areas.

It turned out that this Diaomao's brigade was located in a safe place in Sanshui County, Guangdong. Instead of harassing the Japanese troops, he engaged in smuggling activities.

When the Japanese invaders surrendered in 1945, Ge Zhaohuang followed others' example and went to Guangfu to take over the territory. However, he was just a coward and could not take over others' territory.

It was not until later that he accidentally discovered that there was a Hongmen organization in Guangfu called the "Southwestern Headquarters of the Five Continent Overseas Chinese Hongmen". It was a traitor organization established by the Japanese puppets and had considerable power.

No one has picked it up yet!
As the saying goes, a thief never escapes empty-handed, and Ge Zhaohuang, who was not willing to return empty-handed, led his men to rob the "Southwestern Headquarters of Hongmen Overseas Chinese in Wuzhou" and then obtained a three-story building and a large amount of furniture.

After some twists and turns, the "Wuzhou Overseas Chinese Hongmen Southwest Headquarters" was renamed the "Hongmen Loyalty Association" and the venue was moved to No. 14 Baohua Main Street, Guangzhou.

Since Ge Zhaohuang had never joined Hongmen in the past, in order to serve as the leader of the association, in March 1946, Wu Yifeng, the master of fighting, named him "Double Flower Red Stick" (the highest position in the association).From then on, he became the eldest brother of the Hongmen Loyalty Association and was very happy in Guangfu.

These people at Xiangjiang Station knew Ge Zhaohuang's past and character well, and they were very dissatisfied with this opportunistic guy.

Of course, this is because the benefit did not fall into their hands...

The main theme is envy, jealousy and hatred!

Liu Fangxiong didn't care about this, he just asked: "How is your strength?"

Most of these people were human beings. They saw that Liu Fangxiong seemed to want to use Ge Zhaohuang, and they were familiar with the situation and said: "Webmaster, there are 14 branches of the Zhongyi Association. The names of the branches are arranged in numerical order, that is, Chapters [-] to [-], and the other branch is called the Yangtze River Chapter.”

"At present, they are still quite strong in Guangfu. If the triads on Hong Kong Island encounter difficulties in going to Guangfu to do business, they will usually ask him for help."

Liu Fangxiong was thoughtful, which meant that this guy had finally gotten up and was more reliable than Xinji.

Yes, after experiencing this incident, Liu Fangxiong's trust in Xinji, who was also a member of the Chaozhou Gang, was greatly reduced. In comparison, Ge Zhaohuang, who was from the organization, was more reliable.

"I'll write a letter and send someone over to talk to him."

Liu Fangxiong said: "The Three People's Principles serve the party and the country."

A group of people all said in awe: "Three People's Principles."

……

It's the end of May in a blink of an eye, and Gaoyao, who has been so busy, finally has time to take a breath of fresh air.

He is indeed too busy these days, and his main focus is on real estate.

One is the twin towers, namely Ko Yue Building in Causeway Bay and Ko Ha Building in Central...

The name is a bit rough, but the most important thing is fairness. A bowl of water is fair.

In addition, there are also tenement house developments in Tsim Sha Tsui and Sham Shui Po.

Oh, and there's also the public housing area.

As for things like traveling around the world, let’s not talk about it. If you really add it all up, Nezha will be busy even if he’s not tall enough.

In fact, Gao Yao was really busy. Who gave him space?
But today he had to get away from the busy paperwork, because the hydrofoil, which cost 500 million by Gaosheng Ferry, finally arrived on Hong Kong Island, and it was immediately taken to Yulong Shipyard.

When Gao Yao heard the news, of course he rushed over immediately. With 500 million, he could build a building. In the end, he bought a passenger ship. Damn it!
There was also Baifanyu who went with Gao Yao. He was more interested in Gao Yao, not because of the money, but because he wanted to see if this boat could really run that fast!
"My son-in-law."

Bai Fanyu was even busier than Gao Yao during this period. Although he promised not to go to Haojiang, in fact he kept it secret and went there at every turn.

The business there is very prosperous. As the saying goes, people are in good spirits when happy events happen. Of course, the spirit of Baifanyu is also quite good.

He said arrogantly: "Why do you think you will set up a marriage connection between Luo Zai and the Zhou family?"

"But it works well."

Baifanyu boasted: "Now our goods can be easily boarded at Lian Gong Le."

Lei Luo and Zhou Xueer got married on the 3rd of this month and then went on their honeymoon.Although it can be considered a sensation, it still feels a bit tasteless compared to Gao.

Therefore, it does not have much influence on the citizens of Hong Kong Island.

But it’s different in the arena!

Zhou Xueer is Zhou Xinian's legitimate daughter. Although she cannot get most of the Zhou family's property, her identity is recognized by Zhou Xinian!

And who is Lei Luo?Chaozhou Gang!Standing behind is Gao Yao!

What does the marriage between the two families mean now?The Dongguan Gang and the Chaozhou Gang have made peace.

This operation was so dirty that the whole world almost exploded. After all, the Dongguan Gang and the Chaozhou Gang almost knocked their brains out before.

In the end, Zhou Xinian and Gao Yao were just talking. Hey, everyone is on their own.

This made a group of thoughtful people secretly shocked by Gao Yao's methods, and they were also ashamed that Zhou Xinian, a bitch, went so far as to use his own daughter as a stepping stone for power.

But then again, isn’t that how politics works…

Gao Yao smiled and said: "Father-in-law, what era is it now? Why do we still need to stick to the previous rules? The most important thing is to look forward."

"It's you."

Gao Yao saw the white rice fish with a rosy complexion and bright eyes. This was the rhythm of making big profits. He couldn't help but praise: "Father-in-law, I think you are like a pig in a cage."

"Nonsense, you're just stepping on the accelerator and running! Boy!"

Baifanyu was most proud of showing off in front of Gao Yao. He said: "That shameless Liao Baoshan actually came to me to ask for a deposit. Damn it, just for the sake of attracting a few people, I deposited 50."

50?Gao Yao silently kept it in mind, and adding his own, his family actually had 100 million in Liao Chuang Hing Bank.

Then I will definitely tell my wife that I have saved 100 million in it.

"Is there something bad in your stomach?"

Baifanyu now knows a little about his uncle. Every time his precious daughter digs into his own money, there must be this bastard's idea behind it.

"No way."

Gao Yao smiled and said, "I was thinking, father-in-law, would you like to do some of the foreign medicine at the back?"

Bai Fanyu pondered, when he first came up with this foreign medicine, he prepared it for Black Heart Mian, but now his precious daughter seems to be indifferent...

"Very busy..."

Baifanyu said: "I'll ask Lao He, he should be in need."

He explained: "Lao He has gained some respect recently on the Haojiang side. He is very popular. There is a gate there. You can transport it directly from there, which is more convenient than us."

That's for sure.

After being embargoed in the 50s, the Haojiang Gate made great contributions to transporting supplies.

Many goods from Hong Kong Island are brought to Haojiang, and then transferred to the mainland by companies there. Only local snakes like Zhang Renlong in the North New Territories can transport goods directly from the New Territories to the mainland with the help of the geographical advantage...

At present, He Xian has not yet reached the heights of later generations, but he is already known as the peacemaker in Haojiang. Generally, if the Chinese have any disputes, they will first deal with Brother Xian.

In fact, he is now 39 years old. To have such prestige is already quite remarkable.

"Father-in-law, you make arrangements."

The first batch of goods from Gaoyao has been sold to United, and the second batch is on the way.

Currently, John is working on the branch office. When the Tokyo branch is established, he will have some time to deal with the subsequent review.

Gao Yao has already thought about it, the goods from Tokyo must be mixed with glucose!
If that's the case, then we have to set up a processing point there...

"Hey." Baifanyu likes to show off in front of Gao Yao. He said loudly: "I know you are making money everywhere and building twin towers. If you are short of money, come to me."

"Everyone is on his own, so I'll give you a cheaper interest rate."

"Yes Yes Yes…"

Gao Yao apologized and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."

He is short of money, and now HSBC and Bank of China are his backers.

Especially HSBC, which has more than one billion in deposits these days. As long as Gaoyao's projects are reliable, how can it run out of money?
Of course, this money is not an unlimited overdraft. Interest and other costs need to be taken into consideration.

"Who asked me to be just a daughter? If I don't help you, who will I help?"

There was still a little distance to Shauqiwan, so Baifanyu asked again: "Are these ghost guys going crazy again recently?"

"Chiang Kai-shek's associations were all forced to cancel their registration, which forced him to start a new one."

This happened last month. The Ngee Ann Chamber of Commerce and Industry under Chiang Kai-shek's name was recognized as a triad association. According to regulations, triad associations were not allowed to register, so the association was cancelled.

Gao Yao smiled slightly: "I think it was because I was caught with a sore leg, but actually it is not a good thing."

"Right."

Speaking of things in the world, Baifanyu is very familiar with it: "This guy Chiang Kai-shek got the position of president of the Federation of Industry and Commerce by pulling the skin of a tiger."

"There are still many people who are dissatisfied with him."

"It's a good time now. Everyone is doing their own thing. Although it seems a little less powerful, at least the people following him are much more reliable."

Yes, after the restructuring, the old and new will develop into Jiatianxia, ​​gradually rise and grow from the hands of the Four-Eyed Dragon, and eventually become one of the four major companies in Hong Kong Island.

But that’s a story for later.

While talking, the car finally arrived at Yulong Shipyard.

There was a big red carpet at the entrance of the shipyard, with flower baskets placed on both sides. Gao Yao and Bai Fanyu looked at each other.

"My son-in-law."

Baifanyu laughed and said, "Your people are very good at getting things done."

Gao Yao just said that he would come over, but he never said that he would do such a thing. Seeing the beaming Li Mingzhi step forward, he could only raise his eyebrows.

Forget it, the people below are just expressing their feelings, and Hong Kong Island really pays great attention to various things such as opening of business.

If you want to be more polite, you should also ask a Feng Shui master to count it as a good time, and then ask a lion dancer.

"I want brother."

The people who called me Brother Yao were all the little brothers who were at Gooseneck Bridge before, which was a confirmation of their identity.

Someone has said it well, there are many strange things within a faction.

Gao Yaoyao knew that it was impossible for any power to be without Shantou, so he did not reject this call, but smiled slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Fortunately, no children were asked to come over to lay flowers, otherwise Gao Yao would have gone crazy.

Li Mingzhi's eyebrows almost flew away when he smiled. The boss said, "How many years can I work for you?"

He quickly said: "Boss, the ship is at dock No. 3."

The two 1-ton Victory cargo ships of Gangsheng and Guangsheng are being renovated at the No. 2 and No. [-] docks respectively. It is already at the last minute and is expected to be launched next month.

So this hydrofoil boat can be pulled to dock No. 3.

Baifanyu was confused: "What are you doing pulling the dock?"

Gao Yao did not explain, but said: "Let's go take a look first."

Yulong Shipyard has recently recruited several new engineers. Most of these people are studying hydrofoils in the No. 3 dock. Even Gao Yao and others came in and couldn't stop them from studying.

Li Mingzhi wanted to wake these people up, but was stopped by Gao Yao.

"father in law."

Gao Yao pointed to the hydrofoil boat in front of him. The design of this boat is not very special. It has a relatively traditional hull and power system. A hydrofoil is installed under the bow. The enclosed passenger cabin occupies most of the front of the boat. The cockpit is located further back and higher than the passenger compartment.

But compared to those passenger ships on the water, this thing is still very fashionable.

"Five million is too expensive, so I want to make it myself."

At least half of the price of 500 million is the intellectual property fee... Of course, a high-ranking official who owns a shipyard would not allow such bloodletting.

Baifanyu was shocked: "Make it yourself?"

"What's strange?"

Gao Yao said casually: "This is a ship anyway, and I am also a shipyard here, so it can definitely be built."

It is said to be made, but in fact it is imitated.

In fact, this kind of thing is very common. Any country or company will use doctrines at the beginning, copying them first and then creating new ones.

Baifanyu had nothing to say. He thought it was reasonable for a good husband to rise up in such a short period of time. It was no wonder that he could eat his precious daughter to death.

"It's a bit difficult, isn't it?"

"Nothing is difficult in the world, only those who are willing can do it."

Gao Yao praised: "Father-in-law, it won't be more difficult than when you first started your business?"

He grinned and said proudly: "Nonsense, back then I was making money with my head tied to my belt."

The voices of the two men finally alerted the engineers. They walked over at the same time, and one of them said: "Boss."

"We have looked at this ship and there are no major problems overall."

"It's just that there is a process in this ship called welding."

During welding, the hull must be turned over for ease of operation, but the hull of the hydrofoil boat is very large and it is not easy to turn over, which is indeed a troublesome task.

"If you have any method, just think of any method, whether it's a local method or a foreign method."

Gao Yao encouraged: "It's nothing more than turning the boat over. There must be a way."

Baifanyu interrupted. He was a bystander and immediately shouted: "Isn't this simple? Just install wooden wheels on the boat."

"As long as it's big enough, you can spin it however you want."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and a group of engineers discussed with each other, and then they all said: "This method is OK."

They said happily: "Boss, as long as we study the drawings, we can start construction immediately."

It was a blessing to be in Hong Kong Island 996 at that time. Gao Yao wanted people to work hard and was absolutely willing to give up money. He immediately said: "Seven days, you only have seven days to study the drawings."

"Thank you for your hard work, I will give you three times your salary this month."

"Boss, no problem!"

A group of engineers full of fighting spirit!
