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

Chapter 249 Chapter 249: Guiding the country, I, Gao, am actually also a scholar.

Gao Yao was really kind-hearted this time. He saw that Baifanyu earned money from fighting against the wind and waves, and the money he earned could not always be deposited in the bank.

Moreover, Gao Yao didn't have the intention to open any factory, otherwise if he had such intention, he would have set up some factory with He Xian in Haojiang.

From this point of view, that real estate is the most suitable for white rice fish.

Although the profits in the current few years may not be that big, this thing is the future trend, and the money earned is as high as pigs can fly.

Baifanyu nodded frequently when he heard this, and he said enthusiastically: "Then tell me, should I build a tenement building or a building."

"In Tsim Sha Tsui, just build a building, and other decisions will depend on the location."

It is currently very easy to acquire land in Hong Kong and Kowloon, and in the next few decades, the Hong Kong government will continue to reclaim land and relocate factories in the urban areas of Hong Kong and Kowloon.

There is absolutely no shortage of good land.

Gao Yao thought there was no need to rush there, so he said to Baifanyu: "Taishan, as long as it's in Kowloon or Hong Kong Island, I suggest you keep it and collect the rent yourself."

Unlike Gao Yao, he does not need to rotate goods. Building a building on the land is equivalent to saving for this old widower, so he does not need to expand aggressively or rely on selling buildings to make money.

He could build one building, then another, and then another.

"Damn it, how do you sell it yourself?"

I was afraid of being cheated, so I instinctively asked.

Of course, in fact, he also knew that although his virtuous son-in-law took advantage of his own money, he would not harm him.

Gao Yao explained: "Father-in-law, I am running a company. The main thing is to rotate goods, and we need to cultivate the market through sales."

In fact, with Gaoyao's funds, he could not sell it, but it was not necessary.

Gao always believed that one person cannot earn all the copper coins in the market, so one must be willing to give up.

Baifanyu's eyes were bright when he heard this. He was also thinking about this issue recently.

Business in Haojiang is good. The water and fire company's kerosene is very popular, while coal and other cinders are in short supply.Not to mention He'an's gold, people were sent to Africa to buy it.

Moreover, Baifanyu was recently dragged into the water by He Xian, and the two relied on the speed of the hydrofoil boat to resume the secret smuggling business at sea.

Good guy, those who are trying to make a fortune have been really prosperous recently!

The money came too fast, but the unscrupulous person in my family also stole his own money very quickly, so he had to find a place where he could invest his money.

He thought about it and suddenly asked: "Xianxiang, how is the business of the hotel?"

Baifanyu would not mention this for no reason. This was naturally because of He Xian's guidance.

It's not the best time to enter a hotel now, but doing business depends on the general direction. With Baifanyu's net worth, he can bear a certain degree of loss.

Gao Yao said without hesitation: "Good business, but what level is Taishan going to make?"

"Grade?"

Baifanyu was confused.

Gao Yao smiled and said: "That's what kind of people Taishan's hotel is going to cater to."

"For example, if you are a wealthy person, the hotel must be high-end. It must not only put effort into decoration, but also provide symmetrical services."

Baifanyu scratched his head: "Let's talk about it, let's talk about it."

It's annoying to hear these things.

Gao Yao thought about it, it was quite good for Taishan to enter the hotel at this time, and this thing could be regarded as a long-lasting business.

Then he added: "The hotel is actually quite good."

"Taishan, you can hire a professional team to help you plan. Anyway, you just have to manage the financial and personnel chapters."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

Hearing that his uncle agreed, Bai Fanyu felt much more relaxed. He grinned: "Xian son-in-law, to be honest with you, I have already bought two hotels, New Asia and International, in Haojiang."

Baifanyu said proudly: "I have good taste, right?"

The corner of Gao Yao's mouth twitched. It turned out that the old widower wanted to kill him first and then show off. However, the current gambling industry in Haojiang is just a child's play, and the hotel business is bleak.

"Yes Yes Yes."

Gao Yao couldn't bear to attack Baifanyu and just said: "Of course it's good."

"But if Taishan really wants to enter the hotel industry, he can give priority to Hong Kong Island."

He said politely: "There are many people here."

In fact, it is because Hong Kong Island will soon be forced to transform itself into an industrial development center in a few years, and business demand will increase by then.

business?

Gao Yao had an idea, yes, just build an express hotel for business people. The cost is low and the results are quick, which is great.

It seems that this business does not need to be handled directly with Taishan, just talk to Yue Chang.

Gao Yao was quite compassionate, but Taishan was still not proficient in business, so he was tricked by He Xian into buying a hotel in Haojiang.

That's right, Gao Yao could tell at a glance that Baifanyu bought the hotel under He Xian's guidance.

"It's really annoying to talk to you."

Baifanyu heard that Xian's son-in-law was saying that Haojiang might not be suitable for hotel development at the moment, but he wanted to save face, so he said sarcastically: "You don't know how well Haojiang is developing now."

"All industries are prosperous, and the smuggling business on the sea is booming."

Gao Yao frowned and asked, "Taishan, you're not going to escort the ship, are you?"

There are two types of ship pledges. One is to pledge goods from Hong Kong Island to Haojiang. This can be considered a legitimate business, such as gold, cinders, etc. that are pledged by Baifanyu.

One is to escort a ship from Haojiang River to trade on the high seas. The rewards of this thing are quite extraordinary, and the risks are naturally extraordinary.

Later generations said that gambling king He Xin was driven out of Haojiang because he offended local bosses by opening a water and fire company.

Actually not!

He Xin was really driven away because this guy wanted to make all the copper coins and returned to his old business of escorting ships for smuggling at sea. This was how he really offended the big bosses on the sea.

Being told off and chased away!

Gao Yao thought, now that his father-in-law and He Xian are running a water and fire company, and he is used to doing this, it seems very likely that he will return to his old business.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

Baifanyu objected: "I'm so busy right now that I don't have time to pay attention to this."

"where."

He stood up and said, "I'm going to Shauqiwan to see the big baby. I'm too lazy to talk nonsense to you."

It usually takes about 4 hours to get from Xiangjiang to Haojiang. Later, Fu Laorong from Haoxing Company bought a decommissioned warship and shortened the journey to 2 hours.

Now the hydrofoil directly shortens the voyage to one hour. Good guy, every time Baifanyu goes there, it pulls in goods and people. Business is very good.

In view of this, isn't this hydrofoil his big treasure?

Gao Yao smiled slightly: "Okay, you can go to Mount Tai yourself. But Mingzhi may not be there."

Those 10 Victory Ships are already on the sea. After Li Mingzhi ran in many directions, he has already leased 8 ships, and now only 2 ships are left.

Under the guidance of a Japanese businessman, Li Mingzhi learned that Japanese customers came by plane when they came to Hong Kong Island.

He thought that he was not very smart, but stupid people have stupid ways, so he took the translator to Kai Tak Airport every day to wait for the plane, so that he could contact the Japanese people as soon as possible.

"I'm just messing with him, so you don't have to worry about it."

……

At the same time, Huang Agou finally felt proud. He called a meeting with several small security guards from the Bank of China: "Grandpa sent a message asking our security department to expand manpower to set up a point at the gold and silver trading center to protect our Chaozhou brother."

After he came to Bank of China, he did things beautifully and neatly, and Gao Jin saw all of this.

So after Gao Yao's words, Gao Jin appointed Huang Agou to continue to take charge of the overall situation. This was obviously to promote Huang Agou!
"Dog brother."

A group of young security guards looked at Yourong, their eyes shining brightly: "You are really going to stand out this time."

"If there's no shadow, don't mention it."

Huang Agou was full of air: "Do what you are told first, and you will naturally have a chance to get ahead."

Everyone nodded, and they all said: "Brother Dog, we will do whatever you say."

"I have to go back and gather some more brothers."

Huang Agou ordered: "Xiao Liu and Lao Wu, you go to the trading center first and observe the situation of Brother Chaozhou."

"Check carefully to see if there are any thieves."

"Then find a place where people can stand nearby and ask about the price. If it's suitable, we'll negotiate. When the time comes, Grandpa will send someone to pay the bill."

In fact, it’s not too far from BOC to the Gold and Silver Trading Center.

But distance is distance. Since we want to provide protection, we must take every possible precaution. "The good men on the dock also go and burn incense."

Huang Agou arranged things succinctly: "Especially our Chaozhou Gang and the Lian Gong Le. They are local snakes and they must know a lot about this place."

Everyone just responded: "Brother Dog, it's clear."

"Brothers."

Huang Agou clasped his fists: "Grandpa said, if you do this well, everyone will have a chance to come forward."

Everyone was overjoyed. It was the right thing to cross the sea and come to Hong Kong Island. The development is indeed faster than in Kowloon. They agreed in a loud voice: "I know, I know. I must do it properly so as not to embarrass the society."

Currently, the busiest trading area on Hong Kong Island is the Gold and Silver Trading Center and Bonham East Street. My dear, the air is full of the smell of money.

Some of the shrimp boys coming and going were smiling. They had just made a big killing.

Some people have a sad face, which must be damaged.

As for the little red guy, fuck your mother, Lei Laomu and so on, they are endless.

When Huang Agou, who had made good arrangements, arrived at the trading center later, he was almost squeezed out and sweating profusely.

From time to time, crew members wearing copper rings were coming in and out.

The Gold and Silver Trading Center has more than 240 employees (members), most of whom are gold accounts, silver accounts and banks.

In order to facilitate management, the trading center stipulates that traders or market representatives who buy and sell in the venue must wear a copper ring issued by the venue as a voucher for admission.

There are hundreds of these people alone, as well as the helpers they brought over. There must be nearly a thousand people in total, not to mention too many.

These people alone are enough to make people sweat.

In addition, the stall against the wall at the junction of Main Road and Hengjie Street is responsible for the operation of exchange shops. There are at least dozens of them.

With so many people gathered in a small space, it is difficult not to be crowded.

"Brother Dog, what should we do?"

Huang Agou just looked at it and knew that there would be no accidents on this street, because even if someone took action, he couldn't escape. The only way was outside, so he said: "Let's go outside and take a look."

Huang Agou first led people around the front and back doors, which were both guarded. He thought about it, and it would be enough to put one brother in each place to watch over them.

We went to the street corner again and found that they were almost there. From Huang Agou's professional perspective, the best place for the thieves to attack was at the intersection of Masha Street and Bonham Street East. Masha Street then extends to Queen's Road Central. .

"These two places."

Huang Agou said: "We must display our signature."

They are providing protection for the Teochew elder brothers and it is the will of the Teochew Association.

And now the president of the Chaozhou Guild Hall is Mr. Gao, which means that this is Mr. Gao's wish, and everyone in Zhongxinyi is still very aware of the weight of this.

The group of people nodded in unison, and someone else asked: "Brother Gou, what if someone from other business gangs comes to ask?"

Huang Agou felt that he was working as a bodyguard, but that was understandable. Wasn't this security guard just a bodyguard in the past?
It's just that the escorts travel all over the country to deliver goods, and he is only responsible for escorting the employer to a bank account or a gold account.

He pondered and said: "As long as we can take care of Brother Chaozhou, we can provide corresponding help."

Around this gold and silver trading center, the signboard of the concierge department was just put up. It looked very fresh. Except for people from the Chaozhou Gang who came to ask, few people paid attention to it.

This is normal, because according to the requirements of the Chaozhou Guild Hall, Yao Mu directly transferred several plainclothes nurses and rearranged the patrol list.

The military uniforms will come to patrol once every hour on average, which greatly improves the sense of security. Naturally, everyone does not want to cause any extra trouble.

Besides, you have to pay for it, right?

Even someone as prosperous as Liao Baoshan couldn't bear to part with her, let alone others.

After receiving the notification, Gao Yao didn't take it seriously. He said to Lu Dachao: "We just bought insurance."

"It's best that nothing happens."

"The brothers over there must cheer up."

Yes, Gaoyao means to help buy insurance, and it is best to have good luck.

Compared with this, Gao Yao is now more concerned about the movements of the Hong Kong government.

Grantham's work is very in-depth. Soon after he took office, he began to visit various companies and had extensive contacts with people from all walks of life in Hong Kong Island.

This guy is indeed a Chinese expert and is very meticulous in his work.

However, Gao Yao also discovered that Grantham has not issued any political policy so far. In other words, this guy actually adheres to a policy of active non-intervention...

"master."

Lin Jing interrupted Gao Yao's thinking and said, "Mr. Kuang Wenchi brought a gentleman here to visit."

Kuang Wenchi was the founder of Southeast Radio College. At that time, in order to poach Kuang Guangming, Gao Yao approached Jian Qiang to negotiate, and then invested in the college.

Mr. Gao was also a scholar and had the best education in his life. When he heard this, he stood up and said, "Send good tea."

He looked at the mirror again, oh, he was really Confucian and Taoist.

Immediately, he walked to the living room with a happy face.

"Hahaha."

Gao Yao laughed heartily: "Brother Kuang, what gust of wind brought you here?"

To be honest, he didn't have much dealings with Kuang Wenchi...

The person sitting next to Kuang Wenchi was a middle-aged man, wearing glasses and elegant. He looked like he was either a professor or an expert.

When they saw Gao Yao approaching, they both stood up. Among them, Kuang Wenchi said: "Chairman Gao."

Since Gao Yao made the move, he naturally held a large share. However, he did not go to school, did not work, and was responsible for investing money. Therefore, Kuang Wenchi had a very good impression of Gao, and he immediately introduced him: "This is Zhang Qiyun. Sir, we just arrived in Hong Kong from the south."

Gao Yao was horrified and moved: "But Mr. Zhang, who is trying to carry forward the spirit of the Chinese nation?"

Kuang Wenchi smiled and said: "Exactly."

Gao Yao took the initiative to step forward. He enthusiastically took Zhang Qiyun's right hand and shook it.
"Oh, I've heard of Mr.'s name for a long time."

"I never miss an issue of "Thoughts and Times" founded by my husband and "Science" he wrote."

Zhang Qiyun thought that what Mr. Kuang said was a little wrong. At least Mr. Gao had a little understanding of the cultural world, otherwise he wouldn't be able to speak his mind.

He smiled and said: "It's all in the past tense. I didn't expect Mr. Gao to still know this."

Zhang Qiyun: the founder of modern human geography and the originator of historical geography.

In the field of local chronicles, the "New Chronicles of Zunyi" edited by him occupies an important position in local chronicles, and pioneered land use survey and research in the East.

In order to develop scientific undertakings in the East, in 1932, he initiated the establishment of the Scientific Movement Association and served as the chief editor of "Science".

He is also the first scholar in the East to study modern national strategy. He is the editor-in-chief of "History of Jin",

"History of the Yuan Dynasty", "History of the Qing Dynasty", "The Complete Works of the Founding Father", and "History of the Anti-Japanese War".

“Words can last through the ages.”

Gao Yao smiled and said: "A hundred years from now, Mr. Zhang will be famous for hundreds of years with the works in his hands."

"Sit, sit."

Hong Kong Island still respects literati, especially one group of people. This guy later served as the Minister of Education after going to Wanwan. He advocated Chinese studies and focused on basic compulsory education in primary and secondary schools, which laid the foundation for Wanwan’s education pattern.

Overall, the credit is not small.

Gao Yao couldn't figure out why this person came to Hong Kong Island when he was not in the Kuomintang.
The book business is booming!
Zhang Qiyun got to the point after a few words. He said sadly: "Mr. Gao, all classes here on Hong Kong Island must be English-based, even in universities."

The situation Zhang Qiyun mentioned is indeed the situation that has begun to appear on Hong Kong Island in recent years.

At that time, because of this, matriculation graduates who were not admitted to HKU usually chose to continue their studies in mainland universities.

But Gao must know that this road will be cut off in a few years.

Zhang Qiyun does not know this. He only knows that higher education on Hong Kong Island is almost exclusively dominated by the English department, which is not conducive to the promotion of Chinese studies.

Gao Yao pondered: "What does Mr. Zhang mean?"

Although Zhang Qiyun is a scholar, he is an official, and he knows the tricks very well.

Now the Hong Kong government does not have the energy to take care of this aspect, so Zhang Qiyun means to bring up children.

"High school students, several of my friends plan to come to Hong Kong to open private post-secondary institutions. However, these institutions are not universities and are not qualified to award degrees."

Gao Yao thought that running a university was not an easy task. He thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, I personally support your views and actions."

“It’s better to open its post-secondary institutions first.”

On the contrary, Gao Yao is more enthusiastic about this private post-secondary institution. If Hong Kong Island wants to develop, this education must keep up.

Currently, due to the war in Hong Kong, school buildings are in decline. It requires a lot of dedicated people to invest their energy in reopening it.
