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

Chapter 267 267: Gao Mou said, make a lot of friends
The sun sets at Causeway Bay Pier.

A group of Li family members dressed in mourning clothes were preparing to board the ship under the watchful eyes of good citizens.

They were miserable, and from time to time the little lady would wipe her tears.

Those who didn’t know, thought it was a funeral.

Li Huang Lanfang, who was trembling slightly, squatted down and grabbed the soil from Causeway Bay and put it into the sachet, and then walked onto the deck with the help of Lim Minqia.

Others came up one after another.

A group of people silently leaned on the railing and looked at Causeway Bay. This has been their home for decades.

Some people even say that Causeway Bay belongs to their family.

Who knew that the situation would change, and the huge Li family would become a bereaved dog in a few days, and there would be no one to see him off.

Some people cry when they think of the pain.

"do not Cry."

Li Huang Lanfang said coldly: "We will be back."

Her voice was as cold as a night owl: "These are thieves."

Li Huang Lanfang sternly said: "I want you to remember that this revenge can be avenged even in nine lifetimes!"

A group of people clenched their fists together!
A passenger ship took away the group of people from the Li family.

In addition to leaving a name for profit and deception, the Lee family's mark on Hong Kong Island is being erased.

For example, the original Lee Stage sign was directly removed and replaced with the Yuexia Grand Stage.

The Jian family and Zhou family are doing the same.

They replaced the signboards of Lee's buildings one after another.

According to this situation, it won't be long before all traces of Li Hysan's lineage, which has been operating in Hong Kong Island for more than half a century, will be wiped out.

I don’t know when it started, or who spoke it first, but a gust of wind blew up on Hong Kong Island, and the spot vacated by the Li family among the four major families was given to Gao Yao.

The Luo Wenjin family, the Gao Kening family, the Hedong family, and the Gaoyao family are known as the new four major families!

As soon as the comment came out, it immediately caused uproar on Hong Kong Island.

Gao Yao's attitude towards this was not to make any response, and he also strictly prohibited people in Gao's residence from responding to the outside world. All he wanted was to be treated with a normal attitude.

These so-called four major families are completely superficial to Gao.

Didn’t you see that in a few decades, the four new families that rule Hong Kong Island will all be real estate tycoons?

"Husband, why?"

Bai Yuechang was such a stupid girl. She hooked Gao Yao's neck and asked, "You are so powerful, why don't you admit it?"

"Are you still afraid of being the first?"

Gao Yao smiled and pinched Bai Yuechang's smooth chin: "I want to be a bird in the forest."

"Go to hell."

Bai Yuechang jumped up in fright: "I will make an appointment to watch a show on the big stage later, but I won't accompany you."

In the past, she would either go to Tsim Sha Tsui to watch a theater or go to the Retiro to dance.

Now that we have the Yuexia Grand Stage, it's different. It's close, the place is big, and it's our own.

Then Bai Yuechang must change places.

Even Axia went there much more frequently.

"Fine, fine."

There weren't many tricks for entertainment at the moment, so Gao Yao encouraged his wife to go out and bring these ladies and ladies to play together.

Not to mention sometimes, they have driven a lot of consumption at Lane Crawford...

Gao Yao said lazily: "That's fine."

"I'm going to plead for the people."

Bai Yuechang gave her a sweet kiss and said, "My husband is so awesome." Then she walked away.

Gao Yao shrugged and took out a handkerchief to wipe his cheeks. It would be great if Axia could be so enthusiastic and proactive.

Oh, that’s not right, Axia’s main focus is to test the waters with gentleness.

One of them is fire and the other is water, otherwise where would the two heavens of ice and fire come from?

Gao Yao, who was thinking wildly, went out like this.

The City Council held a regular meeting today, and it was actually just a group of upper-class people sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

As for solving the problem?

It certainly won't be solved at a regular meeting. This depends on each member's own energy and sense of morality.

Who makes the Municipal Council have no financial autonomy now?There are no allowances for MPs?His initiative in doing things is definitely not enough.

"President Gao."

Before entering the City Council, I met Yan Chengkun, the king of China and Pakistan. He walked forward with a smile on his face: "It's fate, it's fate."

This kind of regular meeting did not force members to come to attend the meeting. Yan Chengkun originally thought that Gao Yao would not come.

Hence this statement.

Gao Yao smiled and said: "Chairman Yan, that is indeed destined."

"This is my first time here, please take care of me."

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Yan Chengkun thought to himself that you have driven the Li family out of Hong Kong Island, who dares to take care of you?It's okay for you to take care of others.

"It doesn't matter what the actual situation is."

Yan Chengkun said cautiously: "I heard that President Gao opened a public opinion office over there in Sham Shui Po?"

He gave a thumbs up: "Awesome."

Gao Yao waved his hand: "I'm just trying my best."

"Yep."

Yan Chengkun agreed: "President Gao still has the intention. You said, we never thought about it before."

"I plan to learn from Chairman Gao and open an office like this within the next few days."

"To serve the general public."

"Okay, okay."

The current City Council is a pure obligation, relying entirely on voluntary dedication.

Gao Yao was very happy. Although Yan Chengkun was opportunistic, it didn't matter, as long as someone could benefit.

Immediately, he said to Yan Chengkun with an affectionate look: "Old Yan."

"I discovered a lot of problems while working."

Gao Yao was not prepared to report to the Municipal Council the problems he discussed when he was working in Sham Shui Po because the Municipal Council could not solve them.

Even the current Hong Kong government cannot do this.

But there is one thing that Gao Yao and others can do.

"Neighbors are accustomed to be patient and cautious when encountering trouble."

Gao Yao shook his head: "I don't dare to report to the official, I don't dare to file a lawsuit."

The yamen is open, so don't come in if you have a reason and no money.

This is the experience summed up by Chinese people for thousands of years. Most people will not report it to the official after encountering something.

But this is Hong Kong Island!
You can file a lawsuit!
How did the Lee family become famous?It's not because Li Hysan fought two extremely important lawsuits with Gui Lao and won them.

In this way, he became famous and was called a lucky general, and then he began to be accepted by others.

Yan Chengkun echoed: "What the president said is absolutely true. This is indeed a problem."

In fact, the main problem is lack of money...

For criminal cases, there is a designated defense lawyer, which is free of charge.

The key is that it’s cheap but not good…

The legal profession really believes this, you get what you pay for.

The assigned lawyers are either useless or have no resources, making it extremely difficult to win.

As for civil matters?Sorry, lawyers in Hong Kong Island are notoriously expensive.

Otherwise, why do the richest people in Hong Kong focus on training the next generation to be lawyers?
If you can become a lawyer and have potential, then you should train them at all costs.

Nothing else. Lawyers are the best ticket to the political world.

For example, Jian Qiang from the Jian family wanted to go to the bank to help, but was directly arranged by Jian Dongpu to do a big job!

Yan Chengkun looked at the young man in front of him expectantly.

There is no way, in terms of Taoist power, they almost completely control the Chaozhou Gang, and I can't compare with them.

That's right, Yan Chengkun is what he is today. The Yan's Sedan Co., Ltd. owned by his father back then, has all the men who are willing to fight and fight hard.

Otherwise, can I transfer to CMB smoothly later?You must know that at that time, you were fighting for food in the hands of a group of hungry wolves. If you didn't have some strength in your hands, you would have been beaten to the ground long ago.

At that time, he Yan could be said to be the signature of Chaozhou people!
Of course, people like him don't want to see him.

As for society?Yan Chengkun felt that there was no comparison between himself and him. The difference was simply clouds and mud.

"President, what do you have to say?"

"I don't have any good ideas, just a little bit of bad ideas."

Gao Yao is extremely humble. His current reputation is already very big, and he really can no longer keep a high profile. He must keep a low profile.

"There are some things we can solve, but the heart-qi thing must be supported by money."

"The neighbors are short of money, so they don't dare to file a lawsuit."

Gao Yao said: "I plan to provide legal aid services in the office."

"High, high."

Yan Chengkun was filled with admiration. He raised his thumb and said, "President Gao, this is such a quick idea."

He thought, Gao Yao was going to devote himself to charity and couldn't help himself.

But then again, if someone like Gao is engaged in legal aid, there must be someone who is willing to flatter him and come forward.

That money will definitely not be used much.I gained face, helped my neighbors, and made friends.

Yan Chengkun thought that it was no wonder that Chairman Gao had risen to prominence in a short period of time and was able to collude with Zhou Xinian and Jian Dongpu to drive out the Li family.

It's so fast.

While talking, the two entered the conference room.

There were already people 7 or 8 sitting inside, most of them were foreigners. After they saw Gao Yao, they all said hello: "MR. Gao."

Gao Yao clasped his fists and sat down.

The current City Council is nothing more than a clay puppet with no power, power or wealth. It is basically a mascot that can only scare ordinary citizens and police officers.

For Gao Yao and others, the identity of the unofficial members of the Municipal Council is just a springboard. The main purpose is to serve as unofficial members of the Legislative Council and the Executive Council.

The Chairman of the Urban Council and the Director of Urban Services are no exception.

Of course he is also a foreigner.

After waiting for another 7 or 8 minutes, Gui Lao presided over the meeting.

Gao wanted to take a look and I went, but at least a third of the people didn't come.

He sighed inwardly. There was indeed no future for engaging in politics on Hong Kong Island these days.

Fortunately, Gao's ambition was not here.

Yan Chengkun has obviously been used to it for a long time. He is actually looking at company information...

While looking at it, he said softly to Gao Yao: "President, actually, this kind of meeting, it's already a great honor to come once a month."

Gao Yao smiled slightly. He generally knew what he was doing. No wonder someone later said that since the opening of Hong Kong Island, there has been freedom but no democracy.

Now it seems to be true.

"MR. High."

The director of the rostrum suddenly asked: "Why don't I trouble you to say a few words?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Gao Yao. He was simply a Caesar. The difference was that this Caesar's rise was so fast.

It's almost like a dream.

"Thank you."

Gao Yao said: "But I'm new here and haven't prepared enough. I'm very sorry. I really don't have anything to say."

Everyone smiled, but Mr. Gao was modest. He seemed to realize that the regular meeting was just a regular meeting and it was useless to talk about it.

It is said that MR. Gao is a pragmatist, but it seems to be true now.

The regular meeting ended soon, and Gao Yao came over to join in the fun. He made an appointment with the enthusiastic ghost guys to go to Fanling to play ball next time, and then walked towards Yan Chengkun who was waiting for him.

"Lao Yan, is the company busy?"

Yan Chengkun's CMB franchise is located on Hong Kong Island. After the war, Hong Kong Island was the place that recovered the fastest, so his CMB business was also quite good.

"Business, that's all."

"Well."

Gao Yao said: "I'm about to go to the Chaozhou Guild Hall to have tea, let's go together."

Yan Chengkun's eyes shone slightly. He was barely a member of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, but he was usually not called during meetings.

Because of this, what Yan Chengkun is willing to go to is the Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce, the Chaozhou Bayi Chamber of Commerce, the Kowloon Chaozhou Association, and other chambers of commerce that are all Chaozhou people.

"Thank you, President."

Yan Chengkun was also very frank. He said, "I wanted to come to you shamelessly."

"Nothing."

Gao Yao laughed and said, "Lao Yan, what happened in the past is in the past."

"Everyone has to look forward in the future."

Actually, how should I put it? In the final analysis, this matter has to do with Yan Chengkun’s father Yan Yongci.

This guy originally worked as a curry head (i.e. coolie leader) at the Wharf Company. He later worked as a curry head at the Jardine Sugar Factory and Tsim Sha Tsui godown, and as the foreman of the licensed rickshaw rickshaw in Kowloon.In addition to being responsible for hiring people from places such as Chaozhou and Shantou to work in Hong Kong, he is also responsible for supervising the lives of these Gouli in Hong Kong and collecting fees from these Gouli.

To put it simply, this guy used to work part-time at a dental shop.

There is a saying that goes well: cars, boats, shops, feet and teeth, even if they are not guilty, they should be killed.

Are there not many people these days who use their own people's name to engage their own people?
Yan Yongci was really ruthless in persecuting his fellow villagers, so the Chaozhou Gang had an average reputation at that time.

Later, because Yan Chengkun was born in Hong Kong Island, the Chaozhou people were naturally not willing to accept Yan Chengkun.

However, now that Yan Yongci has passed away, Gao Yao believes that the most important thing for people is to look forward. If the Chaozhou Gang wants to develop, it cannot be too exclusive.

Otherwise, it becomes self-entertainment.

"Lao Yan, the situation is difficult, but we still have to work together."

Hong Kong Island is developing at an unprecedented rate, but it will soon face a real test.

Gao Yao hoped that the Chaozhou Gang could unite as one and seek common development in the struggle against imperialism.

Then he, President Gao, must be able to hold a boat in his belly.

Yan Chengkun said seriously: "President, it is my duty to do so."

When Gao was about to take Yan Chengkun into the Teochew Association, located at 81-85 Des Voeux Road West, Sheung Wan, a group of deacons and elders who came out were shocked.

Among them are Lin Sheng and Liu Meiren.

These two people can be regarded as Gao Yao's right-hand men in the Chaozhou Guild Hall. They will help Gao Yao handle most of the Chaozhou Gang's chores.

Only those that they cannot handle will be reported to Gao Yao for resolution.

So they would stay at the Chaozhou Guild Hall for a small part of the day.

Gao Yao glanced at Liu Meiren and saw that the little widow seemed a little thinner, which was not good.

Women first need to be moisturized, secondly they need to be white, and thirdly they need status.

"Be sure to consult Director Yan for his opinion on any future meetings of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce."

With just one sentence, everyone already understood that the president wanted Yan Chengkun to officially enter the Chaozhou Guild Hall.

Yan Chengkun had a name in the Chaozhou Guild Hall before, and he was also a guild director, but no one took him seriously.

At least the Chaozhou Gang at that time, if something happened on the road, they would either go to Baifanyu or Wanglaoji, and they would definitely not go to Yan Guli.

As for the rest…

For Mrs. Lei, it’s better to go to Mr. Yao than to Yan Guli.

Yan Chengkun clasped his fists: "Ashamed, ashamed. There is nothing I, Yan, can do in the future. It is my duty to do so!"

Originally, this kind of thing would have to go to a meeting, but now the Chaozhou Gang regards Gao as their absolute leader.

No one wants to compete with Mr. Gao...

The main thing is that even if you have the will, you are powerless and you can't compete at all.

So Gao Yao can decide with one word!

"Dong Yan."

Lin Sheng was very clever. He took the initiative to invite Yan Chengkun: "How about I show you around?"

Liu Meiren had a stern face. The Gao family members were not serious. She said softly: "President, there are some things that I need to tell you."

The people around him immediately dispersed.

It is said that the president has a close friendship with Secretary Liu...

It's definitely a lot.

The little widow is intellectual and sociable. She is a bottomless abyss and a super millstone.

Gao Mou is always happy.

There is no such thing as a virgin about him, especially at this time, the most important thing is that he has a good eye, then that's OK.

"devil."

There is an office next door, and there are people working there, but this damn guy insists on playing with it no matter how cheap it is.

What do you mean, this is called sneaking into the office secretly.

I really don’t know where this damn ghost came from with so many tricks?

Liu Meiren, who was out of breath, helped Gao Yao sort out his clothes: "I beg you, please also consider the occasion."

"fool."

Gao Yao looked at the little widow with peach blossoms in her eyes and said, "This is called Feng Liu."

Who doesn’t know this little thing about the office?

Speaking of which, Gao is definitely the most clean and self-respecting celebrity in Hong Kong.

He hasn't asked for a concubine yet!

"Yes Yes Yes."

After helping Gao sort out her clothes, Liu Meiren began to sort out her own. She then said, "President, there have been reports in the chamber of commerce recently that there are too many people collecting money."

Gao Yao sighed, this matter is really not that easy to solve, the general environment is like this.

He pondered, and currently the people in the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce are mainly small vendors, and those who collect money from them are nothing more than the police, the fire department, the vendor management team, the municipal administration, and the triads...

In fact, the most severe punishment among them is the hawker management team that has appeared specifically to manage hawkers, because they only have hawker dishes to eat.

"Let Lu Dachao handle it."

"Chaozhou helps us cooperate and set the rules, frequency and amount of charges."

Gao Yao has no intention of solving this problem at the moment. All he can do is regulate and ensure that Chaozhou gang vendors will not be charged arbitrarily.

At present, Zhongxinyi under Gao Jin's organization has begun to fade away, and will mainly be the concierge's signature in the future.

But there must be someone in the arena to handle things, and Lu Dachao was the person chosen by Gao Yao.

If Gao Gao serves as the background board, Lu Dachao can become the bridge.

And if anything happens, it can be cut at any time.

Gao Yao said: "The most important thing is a rule."

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Lei Luo. Wasn't this Lak guy always clamoring for order?How did it go?
"Call Lei Luo..."

Liu Meiren rolled her eyes: "Dear President, I think you are confused. The phone has not been connected yet..."
