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

Chapter 237 Chapter 237: Not a simple Mrs. Jane!This is a line between heaven and earth!

It turned out to be a false alarm, but Gao Yao was extremely satisfied after watching a good show. He had a hunch that Gao Bin, the boy, might not be able to escape the clutches of the water girl.

This is a blessing.

Gao Yao, who was very excited, first went to Sham Shui Po to inform Gao Jin about the good news about Gao Bin's disaster. He had no choice but to do it. The happiest thing these days is to see his little brother in trouble...

Speaking of this, Gao Jin casually said: "Sham Shui Po Military Camp is also fine."

"People over there often come out to ask us about purchasing, but the brothers find it cumbersome and let people from the market do it."

After the war, the British army was reducing its garrison on Hong Kong Island, but even so, including the sea, land and air, there was still a brigade here.

Moreover, most of the garrison troops at that time were dispatched from abroad. In order to calm people's hearts, the British government specifically stipulated that the garrison troops could bring their families with them, and they were given high salaries that were enough to support the whole family.

At that time, the consumption of this group of people was not a small sum for Hong Kong Island, but it was just out of reach of many people.

Gao Yao pinches his chin, this is a group of people with great consumption potential, and they are fixed!To be honest, this is actually a business that can make a fortune.

Gao Yao is not interested in this, and Gao Jin is too busy. Instead, Gao Bin, who is currently too idle, can do it.

"Abin has been clamoring to marry a rich girl."

Gao Yao smiled and said, "It seems it's time to fulfill his wish."

Gao Jin understood and said, "Brother Yao, the purchases for the two military camps in Sham Shui Po and Tsim Sha Tsui must be theirs."

Materials were in short supply at the time, and it was difficult to specify targets for military camp purchases. However, these two places were where the Chaozhou Gang was located, so it was normal to take care of one's own people.

With the supply rights for three military camps in hand, Gao Yao believed that although the Cai family might not become a millionaire, they would definitely become a wealthy family.

So sometimes life-changing opportunities come to me by chance...

Since Gao Jin agreed, Gao Yao was not in a hurry to take action.

Business is a matter of both character and means. When given an opportunity, it also depends on whether the Cai family can seize it.

As soon as Gao Yao left, Gao Jin turned around and called Gao Bin: "I heard that you were beaten?"

"Depend on."

Gao Bin was anxious: "How can I be beaten? I am Guo Lanbin and I am known as undefeated."

"You were just beaten."

"Depend on."

Gao Bin was frustrated and muttered: "What are you doing to a bunch of old ladies? You can't really fight back, can you?"

"Brother has just arrived."

A rare smile appeared on Gao Jin's face: "I heard that you have a sister-in-law, which is good."

"As the eldest brother, I can't help but express my feelings."

He wrote lightly: "Please tell my sister-in-law that starting from tomorrow, the supply of supplies to the Sham Shui Po and Tsim Sha Tsui military camps must be theirs."

Gao Bin blinked his eyelids: "No."

He said anxiously: "Why are you more concerned than me? I even want to let their family go ashore."

Gao Jin said: "Don't you want to marry a rich man's daughter? Then raise one yourself, that's it!"

Gao Bin was stunned!

On the other side, Gao Yao smiled after seeing the joke and went to inspect the construction site in Sham Shui Po. In fact, he hadn't been here for a while. Now when he came back, he found that the construction site seemed bigger and there was more dust.

This is a little strange.

Four-eyed Li, who came in a hurry, pushed down his glasses and began to introduce to Gao Yao. He was now the person in charge of the case, and he had hired several people under his command. He was more composed in his speech and work.

"Boss, Brother Wen often travels to the island recently."

Liu Wen was really busy. He had to visit every construction site, especially the two sites in Causeway Bay and Central. He was also responsible for communicating with P&T, so he really had no time to visit the construction site in Sham Shui Po.

However, the tenement buildings built here have the same construction drawings. They just need to build them step by step, so Liu Wen can spend more time going to Causeway Bay and Central.

Siyan Li naturally took on the heavy responsibility of the Sham Shui Po construction site.

"Not bad."

Four Eyes Li said: "Boss, we are currently preparing for the first phase of sales. Judging from the current situation, the situation is not bad."

"But there are two problems."

"One is that some customers hope to buy a store."

"Not for sale."

Gao Yao emphasized categorically: "Remember, all the buildings developed by Gaosheng Real Estate will not have storefronts for sale."

The money from selling the tenement building is almost nothing to Gao Yao. He just gives these brothers under Gao Sheng a job and makes a little income by the way.

The storefront was the only thing that could comfort Gao.

On the one hand, the value of this thing has huge potential. At least in Hong Kong Island, one shop can really support three generations, and people can still walk in the shop.

On the other hand, Zhongxinyi needs manpower in these stores.

Siyan Li silently remembered that the boss paid special attention to the store. Is this because he was optimistic about the economic development of Hong Kong Island?

"I know the boss."

Siyan Li added: "It's about mortgages. Some customers asked if there is a mortgage company?"

"That's what I was going to tell you."

Gao Yao said: "You can go to the Kowloon Mortgage Company to discuss the details later, and it's almost settled."

Siyan Li pushed down his glasses. He had just mentioned it to his boss before, but he didn't expect that his boss would get it done so quickly.

He secretly admired that a busy man like his boss could still take care of such small details. It seemed that he should do things more satisfactorily in the future.

"Know the boss."

Four-eyed Li then pointed to the construction site in the distance and said: "Boss, that is the old building that Mr. Gao from the concierge department took over during this period. It is currently being demolished."

"Brother Wen said that 20 tenement buildings are expected to be built there."

It was too easy to repossess the houses at that time, because many people's ancestral houses were destroyed by the war, and they had no money to rebuild, so they had to sell the land for money.

Siyan Li was very excited when he talked about this: "Boss, Mr. Gao is currently collecting land and buildings in Tsim Sha Tsui and Sham Shui Po. At least hundreds of buildings will be built by then."

The sales would have exceeded [-] million at least. In this era, that is really incredible.

Gao Yao smiled, which big shot didn't have some moments when he was young and frivolous?
"Fine, fine."

Gao Yao took the initiative to shake hands with Siyan Li: "Xiao Li, now hundreds of rivalries are vying for the throne, I will leave this piece to you."

Building a building is not difficult, the most important thing is getting the money back, so sales are more important later on.

This is also a change shown by the times. With the changes in the world structure and the explosion of productivity, the market is no longer an absolute seller's market.

It was also from this era that everyone began to pay attention to sales, and a series of sales gods appeared.

In the final analysis, it is nothing more than the choice of the times.

"Thank you boss for your appreciation."

Although Siyan Li is thin, he has great ambitions. He feels that he can be a working emperor no matter what.

"I will do it well."

Gao Yao didn't go to the power plant. It was early over there. He only said that he would order cables and so on. He would have to wait at least a few months for the cables ordered by Lei Guantai and other machines to be in place.

If we go over now, we might be caught by the third aunt and asked if we have dealt with Yanni. After thinking about it, Gao decided not to touch her and went home directly.

"what?"

Bai Yuechang was excited. She had some impression of Gao Bin, because this bad boy, oh no, he can't be called bad boy now, he has to be called Binzai.Binzi often goes to Kowloon Walled City, and sometimes she can see him. I heard that every time this guy visits, the little girl always has to stay in bed for several hours.

People over there are afraid and loving...

Now it seems that this guy is being fed and housed?

Bai Yuechang said enthusiastically: "Guo Lanbin was born in the sea. Husband, you are his eldest brother. This matter can only be controlled by you."

"If you ask me, invite his best friend's family over for tea and finalize the matter first."

"Don't scare people."

Gao Yao hugged the plump Bai Yuechang and said with a smile, "Abin will be anxious when the time comes."

"He's such a jerk."

Bai Yue Changqie said: "It's good to find a daughter from a good family. How dare you be impatient?"

"Let's see how I can help them then."

"So caring?"

Bai Yuechang pouted: "Axia can speak English and do accounts. I only know how to spend money."

"You have to show off your skills."

"Your job is to spend money..."

With the small treasury of Baifanyu, isn't Bai Yuechang's mission just to spend money?What's more, what can a woman do to be so smart?
"Axia is still in the accounting room?"

"No."

Bai Yuechang rested her chin with her right hand and said in a daze: "Mrs. Jian asked her to play cards. Alas, they are all a bunch of foreign women. They talk in a gibberish manner, so I didn't go."

She glanced at Gao Yao and said, "Your little fox is gone."

Although it was said that Bai Yuechang successfully paid 50 yuan to her father because of Mr. Gao's tip-off and rewarded him based on his merits, Bai Yuechang didn't do anything to Liu Meiren, but sometimes she would tease him casually.

She felt something was wrong with her husband, how could she keep an eye on other people's wives?

Immoral!

That's right, Bai Yuechang doesn't think that her husband only got married after Liu Meiren became a widow. She is not crazy, she just deliberately doesn't say it.

"Hahaha."

Gao Yao was not embarrassed. Instead, he picked up Bai Yuechang and said, "This is giving us a chance."

"You die for me."

……

The best person in the Gaoyao family to play with the Westerners was Jian Lifu, especially Mrs. Jian, who often invited Axia and the others to participate in salons, card games or dances.

There are often small gains.

Just like this time too.

Gao Yao is now a master of time management, and Bai Yuechang has been arranged to rest by him. Now it is Axia's turn to come back from playing cards.

Her eyes were full of water, and she hooked Gao Yao's arm with both hands: "Husband, Mrs. Jane said that the Governor's itinerary has been finalized and is scheduled to arrive in Hong Kong on July 7. She said that she hopes you can make time on the same day to come together. Go to the pier to greet you.”

Finally the dust settled.

Gao Yao's eyes were a little dark. He had put down a lot of things for the new governor to come.

For example, take the construction of public housing in Sheung Lee Uk Estate.

Yes, doing good deeds must not only be social but also political.

This cannot be blamed on Mr. Gao and others for being vulgar, but this is how society operates. Public housing has a certain degree of political significance for Hong Kong Island in its current situation.

Yang Muchi, who is on the verge of retirement, is obviously not suitable to share this honor.

This matter was unanimously agreed upon by the directors of the Civilian Housing Association. At the very least, when the foundation stone is laid, will the new Governor be invited to come and participate?
What's interesting is that not only Gao wanted to do this, but also Ruttonji, who wanted to do charity, also had the same idea.

Currently, the Tuberculosis Prevention Association is also in the process of preparation, and the actual implementation will have to wait until the new governor comes.

Ruttonji even discussed with Gao Gao to donate and build a new hospital and name it after the new governor.

Look, who said that Gui Lao doesn't understand human nature?Isn’t this very proficient?

Gao Yao nodded slightly: "You will come with me then."

Bai Yuechang doesn't like to appear in situations where Westerners are present. It's not suitable to take Liu Meiren to such a thing. The most suitable one is Axia.

Axia responded in a low voice, and then added: "Husband, the new governor's wife, Ms. Ge Mulian, is Mrs. Jane's classmate."

Gao Yao blinked his eyelids, is there such a thing?Then doesn't this open up the line between heaven and earth for yourself?If Mrs. Jian had a daughter, Gao would definitely not mind letting Mrs. Jian become his mother-in-law.

Axia gave her an affirmative look, and then continued: "I asked around and found out that Edward Hiss, Mrs. Jane's brother, is highly valued by His Excellency Churchill."

"At the suggestion of His Excellency Churchill, this gentleman is currently preparing to run for Parliament."

Gao Yao's expression became serious. Let's just say that he always felt that Mrs. Jian knew too much.

Now it seems that it is not without reason.

He didn't know what Hiss was, let alone that this guy would be confirmed by Churchill and become the Conservative party whip in a few years.

But one thing can be confirmed, I really created a line between heaven and earth.

"People have treated me sincerely, and I have treated others sincerely."

Whether they like it or not, in the next few decades, Westerners will still control most of the power in Hong Kong Island, and Gao Yao will have to make a certain choice between the two.

"Refined gentlemen deserve patronage."

"Axia, you can handle this later."

What does Gao want from him?You have money!Then this money must be turned into a driving force. Since this Heath can be valued by Churchill, it will be a rare commodity!
"Ah."

Axia talked about Bai Yuechang again. In fact, she quite agreed with Bai Yuechang's thoughts and actions.

"Yue Chang doesn't like to go out and play cards with us, and she doesn't go to Kowloon Walled City very often now."

"That is, I went shopping with Yanni, Liping and the others, but Yanni is not very open about it."

"husband."

Axia said: "It would be good if Axia wants to pay attention to Shui Mei and the others."

"She can be a big help and maybe it won't be so boring."

"My dear Asya."

Gao Yao was most satisfied with this. No matter whether they were trying to compromise or not, at least the two sisters were very harmonious on the surface.

For a grown parent, this is enough.

Anyway, it's better than fighting openly.

He couldn't help but pinch Axia's smooth chin: "I have Axia, Wuyou."

"correct."

Gao Yao said: "Last time I went to Shihu Market, I arranged some business with Xiao Zhang."

"When you have nothing to do, you can take Yue Chang over for a walk."

Of course, Xiao Zhang belongs to Zhang Renlong. For this business, Mr. Gao specially sent someone from Zhongxinyi to take charge of the overall situation. This definitely gave Zhang Renlong a lot of face.

As the saying goes, wealth never returns to its hometown like a brocade walking at night. Axia only has a few relatives here on Hong Kong Island, and Gao Yaoyao must support her.
