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

Chapter 296 Chapter 296: The power of the Black Gold Empire!

After Keswick and others finished the meeting on the top of the mountain, they returned to the Peninsula Hotel to celebrate with confidence.

The champagne must be opened, because the governor who doesn't know the truth is already in the trap.

Once the sanitation and cleansing campaign started, Kowloon Walled City, which represented Hong Kong Island's dirty and messy environment, would not be able to get around it.

Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, it will be profitable for Keswick and others.

"A dull knife kills, but a slow fire hurts the heart."

For the first time, Kadoorie felt a little at ease. The experiences during this period were simply too bad. He felt like he was facing a fortress.

Fortunately, this will soon be reversed.

"Taipan, you are still wise."

"I toast you."

Keswick gave it a try and said gracefully: "In fact, after staying in the East for a long time, you will find that the conspiracy here is worth learning from."

They habitually call schemes a conspiracy.

For example, this time the secret was hidden, or it could be the plank road built to secretly infiltrate Chencang.

Grantham was motivated by public sentiment and hoped to improve the health conditions in Hong Kong.

On the one hand, it is to avoid the occurrence of large-scale cholera, and on the other hand, of course, it is to demonstrate the authority of the governor.

After all, if power is not used all the time, people will think it is a paper tiger.

Everyone nodded. Keswick, who had stayed in Hong Kong Island for a long time, had become an old scumbag.

This conspiracy is really coming out of the mouth, and it has the flavor of Melinoe. No wonder it was able to slowly control Jardine from Jardine over the past few decades. It seems that we need to be more careful in the future.

Keswick didn't know that because of his outstanding praise, Westerners were wary of him. He was elegantly sharing his views with everyone.

"Society is a living structure. No one cannot be copied and no one is irreplaceable."

There is uncontrollable ambition hidden in Keswick's deep eyes. Jardine has always been a symbol of Hong Kong Island, but the situation seems to have changed a bit recently.

For example, HSBC is starting to be on par with Yi Ping.

And Grantham seems to be paying more and more attention to the opinions of HSBC’s executive team.

Another bad phenomenon is that although Granthhorn would appear to be dominated by Westerners, he would implement elite rule.

But recently, Chinese people have begun to be promoted in various institutions.

Duplicity.

Keswick put away his distracting thoughts and continued: "Now Gao Yao is in the spotlight and his talents are clearly displayed."

"Especially now that he has just taken control of Kowloon Walled City."

"If you don't handle it well."

"Coupled with the pressure from power."

Keswick shrugged: "Everyone will see that he is not irreplaceable."

It may take many times to win, but once is enough to fail.

In particular, they think that people like Gao Yao who suddenly jump up are like castles in the air. As long as they fail once, their vitality will most likely be severely damaged.

Even if it doesn’t exist, it doesn’t matter. The accumulated sand will form a tower.

Everyone raised their glasses: "Cheers to victory."

Some of them even congratulated Kadoorie: "If we can merge the Kowloon Power Plant as a result."

"Nine lanterns are bound to explode."

"TOEFL, TOEFL."

Kadoorie suddenly smiled. As long as Gao Gao hated the Hong Kong government, he could immediately sue the Kowloon Power Plant and demand the Hong Kong government to implement exclusive rights.

Even if that doesn't work, you can also ask the Kowloon Power Plant to sell the power to you, and let China Power supply the unified power supply.

Anyway, no matter which one it is, CLP will not lose money.

By now, Kadoorie has increasingly understood that electricity is the root of the family.

Only with the presence of CLP can the family prosper and support luxury activities such as the Peninsula Hotel.

"If that day comes."

Kadoorie assured: "We, CLP, are willing to expand our shares."

This is where the benefits are shared.

Then again, Kadoorie was only a minority shareholder in CLP Power at the beginning. How did it grow to become a major shareholder?

Of course, it is to increase capital and expand shares.

The initial registered share capital of China Power was only 20 yuan, divided into 1000 shares of [-] yuan each.

Kadoorie believes that the development of the Kowloon Peninsula has great potential, and believes that the main condition for CLP to thrive is not only strengthening management, but also increasing investment.

This was used as a reason to promote capital injection by shareholders, increasing the company's share capital from the original 20 yuan to 100 million yuan (the price per share was still 20 yuan, and the issued shares were increased to [-] shares).

Kadoorie took the opportunity to buy shares from shareholders who were unable to keep up with their capital injections.

Afterwards, he tasted the sweetness, and requested to hold special shareholders' meetings three times to increase the share capital to 200 million yuan, 300 million yuan and 360 million yuan respectively, in order to expand the transmission network and build new power plants.

As the Kadoorie family continued to increase its investment in CLP, it began to become the single largest shareholder.

Smiles appeared on everyone's faces: "It seems it's time to go to the market to buy some goods."

Kadoorie had been supporting the market. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "It couldn't be better."

The reaction of the stock was very direct. Now that these ghost guys decided to buy goods, they immediately pushed up the stock of China Electronics.

"I'm furious."

Bai Yuechang, who accidentally told Gao Yao last time that she was buying stocks without having anything to do, has been shopping recently, especially after Gao Yao told her to buy some more CLP stocks. She has been keeping an eye on this stock recently.

"Axia, the price is too high."

Bai Yuechang took the phone and said to Axia, who was knitting a sweater not far away: "It went up three times today, and the sky monkey is here."

"It means someone is scanning the goods."

Axia said: "It seems that CLP has some benefits."

She thought about it, CLP's power plants were all ready-made, and those lines were what they were, so what were the benefits?
"If it's not easy to buy, just wait."

Bai Yuechang listened to Axia in this regard, so she hung up the phone. She walked over and looked enviously at the sweater in Axia's hand.

"Axia, you are so skillful with your hands, but I am so clumsy."

Axia pursed her lips, it was just a female beauty, she had been learning it since she was a child.

"You were born to enjoy happiness."

"That foreign woman is the one who enjoys happiness."

Bai Yuechang snorted: "I heard that my brother bought her a mansion there alone."

"If you have anything to do, just go there."

Axia knew this, because the money came out of the accounting room she was in charge of, so she explained to Gao Yao: "Brother Yao is going to make some investments there."

"Wanhua is going back to help pave the way for brother Yao."

"Hey, he's so tall."

Although Axia and Li Wanhua are not at odds, they still feel a little awkward.
"Brother, isn't there someone there? Why do you want a foreign woman to take action?"

Axia thought to herself that Madam is diplomatic, but it seemed like that was not what the two of us were doing on Hong Kong Island.

She knew that Bai Yuechang was careless and did not want to go into details, so she skipped the topic and asked, "Are my parents-in-law over there on the big stage?"

"Yes."

Speaking of this, Bai Yuechang became angry: "Letting him come to the house to eat is like killing him."

"I just know how to listen to the drama and talk about it."

"A bunch of indifferent people are waiting for him to throw away money every day."

Axia smiled: "It's not that much money short."

"It's always better to have someone with you."

She was a little envious. Yue Chang was free and had a place to make trouble.

Tap tap, tap tap, familiar footsteps came in.

Bai Yuechang ran out happily: "Husband."

Of course it was Gao Yao who came back. He had just reached an agreement with Jian Dongpu and other pillars in the banking industry, and Huang Dawen had basically finalized the cooperation with the law firm.

The next thing to do is to find out if the Hong Kong government has the opportunity to approve it.

Although the hope was slim, Gao Yao thought he still had to give it a try.

"Why are you so happy?"

Gao Yao smiled and pinched Bai Yuechang's face. She was plump, energetic and beautiful, and Gao Yao loved her very much.

"Of course it's because I'm happy to see you."

Bai Yuechang's character is so straightforward, she dares to love and hate, which mainly comes from Baifanyu's tolerance...

With such a father around, she would have been smoking from her ancestral graves if she hadn't been nurtured into the unruly habit of a gangster lady.

"I'm happy too."

Gao Yao smiled and walked into the living room with Bai Yuechang in his arms. Axia was knitting again. She was really a good wife.

"Wanhua went to Haojiang?"

"Yes."

Axia said: "Her mother's family called and said they had found a house and asked her to go and take a look."

"I told her that as long as she likes it, I will ask someone to bring money there."

Although Portuguese currency is used in Haojiang, Hong Kong dollars, pounds, and US dollars are also accepted.

This was something that had been decided a long time ago. Gao Yao nodded: "We can go there and have a look when the time comes."

Bai Yuechang pouted: "What's fun in that small place? See the church?" Haojiang is a small place with many bastards and the most churches.

Bang, Gao Yao slapped her down, causing Bai Yuechang to cover her back with both hands: "Please, be careful next time."

"Chixian, we are an old married couple."

Gao Yao followed up and said with dignity: "Go and change your clothes. You guys will go play cards with Mrs. Jian today."

"I have a mission for you."

Here on Hong Kong Island, sometimes if the wife card is played well, it can really get twice the result with half the effort.

……

Lin Jing came to see Gao Yao. As the steward of Gao Mansion, he had to be as busy as Gao Yao could relax, especially now that he had an extra income.

Liu Meiren came with Lin Jing. This little widow was also busy. Sometimes she even felt that this man was using her like a cow and a horse.

I have to help him deal with things during the day and help him solve his needs at night. It's just messing around.

"master."

Lin Jing said: "There are already tens of thousands of dollars in the Charity Mutual Aid Fund account."

The system of the money empire has been officially in operation for a month under the auspices of Lu Dachao. Gao Yao has always ignored it. Hearing this, he casually said: "Ten thousand yuan?"

Lin Jing said: "Strictly speaking, it's 8 yuan."

Gao Yao sat up and frowned: "8?"

I'm hitting your lungs.

Hasn't it only been running for a month?
8, [-]%.

It means that your daily income is between 2000 and 3000?Holy shit!
"Yes."

Lin Jing said: "Dachao said that the current daily fee is around 3."

"He said that because it has just started, a lot of business has not yet started."

"And he is also talking about miscellaneous rooms in other districts in Kowloon."

"According to his estimate, if this continues, within a few years, the overall fees in Kowloon should be around 20 per day."

In other words, Mr. Gao can earn 2 yuan a day, 730 million yuan a year...

This is only the current situation. With the explosion of Hong Kong Island’s economy, this income will inevitably rise...

No wonder Lei Luo was able to earn 5 million as a detective in later generations, and his assets were higher than many tycoons at that time. There was a reason for this horse-riding.

Gao Yao thought that this was the power of the system. Strictly speaking, these fees were actually taxes, but the Hong Kong government could not collect them.

So there is the Black Gold Empire line to collect.

After collecting it, the money will go into everyone's pockets, which means nothing to the Hong Kong government.

No wonder the Hong Kong government will resolutely set up the Independent Commission Against Corruption in later generations. If such huge benefits are taken away by the people below, people will naturally go crazy.

"Set a ratio."

Gao Yao said: "Give Dachao a little more. He can't hang out in the world with just a sign but no silver paper."

Lin Jing bowed: "Thank you, sir."

"other…"

Gao Yao looked at Liu Meiren and looked at the widow under the lamp. He looked more and more beautiful, and coughed: "I'll discuss it with Secretary Liu."

Negotiating shit...

Liu Meiren knew that she was throwing herself into a trap when she came to the house. Fortunately, she asked and found out that the three wives were not here.

Then he used all his eighteen martial arts skills.

At the end, I would like to say a word of praise: "A good man, his soul was almost gone just now."

"Hahaha."

Gao Yao's three wives couldn't say this sentence even to death, not because they refused to say it, but because they didn't have this awareness.

Or God will tell the neighbor's wife not to be greedy, because it is too exciting, especially after the wife becomes a widow.

The power is simply unparalleled.

"My dear."

Watching the white jade beauty under the lamp is one of life's great pleasures. Gao Yao was full of praise: "It's really mutton-fat white jade."

Liu Meiren had known that this devil had a unique taste, so he immediately blushed and said, "I can't do anything right all day long."

"Hey, people are really doing everything for you."

Liu Meiren began to report. She was right. She had a lot on her hands at the moment.

I have to be both a high-level life secretary and a work secretary.

For example, she not only has to go to the Teochew Association to handle chores, but now she also has to go to Gao Yao's private office in Sham Shui Po to check the public needs recorded by the clerk, etc.

The Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is fine. Most matters can be handled by the directors.

And if it can only be handled by rising to the high level, it will definitely take time.

Fortunately, this has not happened yet.

Liu Meiren casually mentioned: "Liao Chuangxing has recently held activities in the Chamber of Commerce, encouraging members to buy land with him for development."

Liao Chuangxing is Liao Baoshan...

This guy started out by speculation, and now it's normal for him to get into real estate development.

"It's okay."

Gao Yao said: "The purpose of the Chamber of Commerce is to bring everyone's efforts to one place."

"If he can get a group of people to cooperate, that would be a good thing."

“There are several members who want to take out loans.”

Gao Yao said without thinking: "Write a letter of recommendation to them, and then go to Li Guowei."

"But how much you can put down depends on the bank."

Bank interest rates are low, bank account interest rates are high, and private rates are even higher.

The chamber of commerce intends to help each other, but the money for this mutual aid also has to be calculated as interest, it is just that it will not drive people away.

Now that Gao Yao, as the president, has opened his own bank, the Chaozhou businessmen will naturally subconsciously think of Gao Yao for loans.

"I will explain it to Mr. Li, and you can just sign it when the time comes."

Liu Meiren smiled and said, "You can rest assured."

Liu Meiren's beauty suddenly turned pale, and she quickly reported the situation in Sham Shui Po.

You can't change the subject. This is an animal that can fight at any time. It's simply not human.

"It's strange to say that there have been a lot less incidents of fighting and killing in the Sham Shui Po market recently."

The order of the money empire is superficial, but it does maintain public order to a certain extent.

Unless it is a foreign force that crosses the Yangtze River, if there is any need to show off the local prefixes, it must be mediated by the miscellaneous office first.

If the miscellaneous room cannot mediate, they will contact Lu Dachao.

If it still cannot be resolved by Lu Dachao, it means that the conflicts between the two parties have accumulated to a certain extent, and it is impossible not to show off.

Then the mainland tide will set aside a special horse-showing area for both sides to chop...

Now that it has reached this level, the fighting on the street has naturally been reduced by more than half.

As for collecting money, because the personnel and period for collecting money are stipulated, other than that, no one is allowed to come and collect money.

Therefore, although Fangtuo still has to pay money, the pressure has actually been reduced a lot.

With less pressure, everyone naturally wants to go all out to make money.

But this raises several problems. For example, if there are children at home and there is no place to go to school, then the children cannot be left alone at home. Otherwise, what will happen if something happens?
Another example is that there are still too few jobs now...

Gao Yao thought to himself, the first one is easy to solve.

"After you go out, go to Dahua and ask him to allocate the money and invest the rest to start building schools in the Sham Shui Po area."

"Even a daycare."

This requires a group of manpower.

However, charity inherently requires organization and professionalism.

Just like the Tuberculosis Prevention Association and the charities run by Gao Yao, they all have dedicated employees to do their work.

Liu Meiren looked at Gao Yao intently. This man was really good-looking, but also very strange.

It is really strange to keep money and throw it away to society.

"I have flowers on my face."

"correct."

Liu Meiren's eyes were like autumn water, and she said with a spring spirit: "I want to take you into my heart."

Liu Meiren hesitated and said: "Da Ju said that he has a friend named Ghost King Ye and asked him to go to Haojiang to plant a flag."

Ghost King Ye is Fu Laorong's top horse and is known as the King of Gamblers. However, this guy is a villain and very ambitious. He seems to have been ignored by Fu Laorong recently.

Since Liu Fu's death, Liu Rongju has been the Liu family's leader, carrying the Liu family's brand with one hand.

He is also considered a rising star in the arena.

For Gao Yao, the most important thing is that this guy is no longer limited to the Dongguan Gang, which is a good thing.

At that moment Gao Yao smiled and said: "He is your brother."

"Young people need to be bold in doing things and go wherever they want."

"For your sake, if anything happens, I will take care of him."

This is what Liu Meiren was waiting for. She promptly sent Gao Yao a good person card and said delicately: "Damn it, you are such a good person."

The good guys want it again!
