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

Chapter 312 Chapter 312: Fire Captain Gao Yao!
Where there is danger, there is opportunity!
Once a conflict arises, there will naturally be a way to vent it.

The clerk reported with a pale face: "The parade threw stones and Molotov cocktails at the foreigners..."

Everyone was surprised at first. This was no longer a parade, let alone a strike, but a riot.

I'm afraid that the Hong Kong government will dispatch the anti-explosion brigade. If it's serious, it's very likely that the police will be dispatched to suppress it.

They looked at each other and realized that the matter was at its last minute. Could it be that Hong Kong Island was going to repeat the general strike in the province and Hong Kong?
Kadoorie couldn't help shouting: "It's simply lawless."

The clerk stammered: "Fires broke out at Hung Hom Power Plant, Wharf and other places."

A group of people were stunned for a moment.

Kadoorie's mouth opened wide and he roared a few times, then his eyes went dark and he fell to the ground.

Everyone hurriedly helped Kadoorie and managed to wake him up. He shouted: "Thugs, these thugs want to destroy my hope."

As the population of Kowloon increases, CLP Power becomes more and more important to the Kadoorie family. In their eyes, this is simply the cornucopia they rely on most. With CLP Power here, their family can sit back and relax.

Now that he heard about the fire at the Hung Hom Power Plant, Kadoorie could no longer sit still: "Everyone, if this continues, Hong Kong Island will be in ruins."

Kadoorie left in a hurry, and the others had no intention of staying long.

Now that the flames of war have burned themselves, they just want to go back and take charge.

Keswick had a stern look on his face, and the situation took a turn for the worse. Unexpectedly, the fire actually burned his head.

This account must be settled on Gao Yao's head.

He sneered and the Molotov cocktails came out. Now it depends on whether the Governor will insist on strong governance or soften up and try to resolve the matter as peacefully as possible.

Oh, no, the Hung Hom Power Plant has been burned down. Where can there be peace?
The Hung Hom Power Plant was indeed burned down, and the entire Kowloon was plunged into darkness. Immediately afterwards, thousands of lights came on again.

Of course, this is a candlelight, the light coming from a kerosene lamp.

From afar, Kadoorie saw several raging fires leaping into the sky in the distance, burning the white clouds in the sky into burning clouds.

It's red inside and out!
From a distance, Kadoorie could smell the pungent smell of burning and the heat in the air.

"Quick, quick."

Kadoorie's legs were weak. If it weren't for someone's support, he would really be unable to walk this time.

He trembled: "Go and see, go and see."

The fire was so big that Kadoorie knew that the power plant was probably doomed, but he always had hope.

The closer he got, the more uneasy Kadoorie felt. Bang bang, bang bang, it was like a small drum was beating.

Ten meters closer, two water trucks were seen pouring water to extinguish the fire. However, under the hot flames, the water immediately turned into steam, covering the entire power plant in a cloud of mist.

There was someone on guard outside. Seeing Kadoorie and the others rushing in, this man yelled, "Do you want to die?"

"Don't go in."

"Go, go."

Fortunately, Kadoorie called for an interpreter and said, "This is Mr. Kadoorie, the chairman of China Electric Power."

The man was taken aback and pointed to the right: "Then you should go there."

"CLP Power has set up an emergency and disaster relief department there."

"You can't enter here anyway. If anything happens, go over there and ask."

The hot air hit his face, making Kadoorie's face hurt, and his heart hurt even more. Looking at it like this, the power plant would most likely not be saved.

"Go...go over there..."

Kadoorie reluctantly took a breath, and then ordered his surroundings to help him to the emergency and disaster relief department.

This place was jointly established by China Electric Power and the Fire Brigade to facilitate communication between the two parties.

As soon as Kadoorie arrived, several people inside quickly stood up: "Chairman."

"how is the situation?"

Kadoorie asked urgently: "Have the generator units been snatched out?"

One person shook his head: "The fire was so intense that even the fire brigade couldn't get in."

The only advantage is that the power plant is located near the sea in Hung Hom, and there are no residential buildings around it.

When the fire brigade arrived, they found that the fire was difficult to extinguish, so they immediately set up fire breaks to try to control the fire within the Hung Hom Power Plant.

Kadoorie's face was miserable, it was over, it was really over this time.

In the past, he was not so sad. The power plant was gone and it would be rebuilt.

But now it is time to install new underground cables, and the Kowloon Power Plant has started to receive electricity. I heard that the trial operation is going well.

Now that something like this is happening at the Hung Hom Power Plant, isn't it the best time for the Kowloon Power Plant?
It's like carving out one's own flesh and drinking one's own blood.

Kadoorie was in great pain. He forced himself to calm down and asked, "What caused the fire?"

"Did someone throw a Molotov cocktail?"

Several people looked at each other, and then one person said hesitantly: "I haven't heard of such a thing."

"To be specific, we may have to wait until the fire is extinguished before we can find out the cause."

Kadoorie was stunned: "Didn't someone throw the Molotov cocktail?"

They all shook their heads: "This has not been found yet."

"If a Molotov cocktail is thrown, the source of the fire will be discovered immediately."

Kadoorie's heart suddenly sank. Wasn't someone else adding insult to injury?How can it be?

When he heard about the fire at the power plant, his first reaction was that someone deliberately threw Molotov cocktails.

If so, I might be able to turn bad things into good things.

There was a commotion in the distance, and then a majestic voice came: "What happened?"

The sound of footsteps approached, and a dark figure strode into the emergency and disaster relief department.

Everyone was shocked when they saw it, especially Kadoorie, who was shocked and screamed: "Gao Yao, what are you doing here?"

This guy was so anxious that he lost all sense of proportion and even ignored the gentleness between gentlemen.

Gao Yao sneered: "I am a shareholder of China Electric Power, what else can I do here?"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Especially for Kadoorie, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe, making him tremble with the cold.

"nonsense!"

Kadoorie shouted: "Now that the stock market has been closed, where did you buy the stocks?"

When it comes to his own interests and the future, Kadoorie has gone crazy.

Gao Yao sighed: "I think Mr. Chairman's mental state is a bit unstable."

He waved his hand: "Send Mr. Chairman back to rest."

That is to say, there is no special mental hospital in Hong Kong Island. Otherwise, Kadoorie's mental state would be enough to be sent to a mental hospital.

That way, it's easy.

As soon as Gao Yao spoke, a group of people came in to expel Kadoorie and others, and two of them went directly to fight Kadoorie.

"I'm not going, I'm not going."

Kadoorie resisted with all his strength: "Gao Yao, as long as I am here, your treacherous plan will never succeed."

"God knows what you did."

He shouted: "I know this must be your thief's cry to catch the thief."

This guy is slandering a gentleman of high moral character!

Gao Yao ignored it lazily. He just waved his hand to indicate to his men to work more quickly, and then asked the remaining people: "What's the situation now?"

After paying homage to Wang Shui Xiang and Ah Cai, Gao Yao no longer hides in Gao's mansion and ignores worldly affairs. He now spends half the day in Gao Yao's personal office in Sham Shui Po.

When I heard about the fire at the Hung Hom Power Plant, I rushed over as soon as possible out of a sense of responsibility as a member of Parliament and my duties as an unofficial Justice of the Peace.

What I saw was a big fire, crackling and burning beautifully.

Several people in the Emergency and Disaster Relief Department thought that Kadoorie would be taken away simply and rudely, and their hearts skipped a beat. This MR. Gao business war was too high-end.

"MR. High." One person hesitated and repeated what he said to Kadoorie.

Gao Yao immediately frowned and reprimanded: "The power plant involves people's livelihood. During production, we must pay attention to fire prevention and other safety measures."

"How do you do things?"

China Power was almost solely controlled by Kadoorie, and most of the powerful people were from Kadoorie. Of course, Gao Yao would not be polite at all.

One person quickly explained: "MR. Gao, we are still not sure what caused the fire."

Gao Yao pointed his finger behind his back, and there was a sea of ​​fire: "Look carefully, you guys, look carefully."

Gao Mou said with a stern voice: "Because of your carelessness, the entire Kowloon is now plunged into darkness."

"How can we treat the general public?"

A few people were a little aggrieved. Mr. Sitting with his high buttocks was a bit crooked. He couldn't slander others because of the Kowloon Power Plant.

"Someone has to be responsible for this!"

Gao Yao emphasized, then walked out.

Several people inside looked at each other. Of course, someone must be responsible for this matter, and they just wanted to see who would take the blame.

Gao Yao walked directly to the fire brigade. He called the fire brigade captain and asked, "Are there any casualties?"

The captain quickly said: "When the fire broke out, there were only a few workers on duty in the power plant. They ran out as soon as they saw something was wrong."

"We are checking the personnel list with the person in charge of the power plant."

"So far, no casualties have been found."

Gao Yao's sullen face softened somewhat, and he said, "Fortunately."

The captain admired him deeply, and so far, Mr. Gao was the only one who asked about this matter.

"What's going to happen now?"

The captain thought about it carefully and then said: "Mr. Gao, judging from our current fire-fighting equipment, all we can do is control the fire."

Gao Yao looked at the intensity of the fire. It was crackling. He was at least ten meters away from the flames. As a result, his face was still faintly hot, and even his hair was curled up.

He asked, "There is no shortage of people."

The captain immediately said: "Mr. Gao, I know you have good intentions, but the score for putting out fires is about this."

"Looking at the current situation, if there are too many people, accidents are more likely to happen."

Gao Yao saw that what he said was clear and logical, so he said, "You are quite a professional."

"Okay, professional people do professional things."

"Big Tide."

Lu Dachao, who was following like a little follower, appeared at the right time: "Mr. Gao."

In front of outsiders, of course he couldn't call him Mr. Gao Yao, otherwise it would be too fake.

As for power, you have to pretend to be confused while still understanding.

"The fire must not be allowed to spread."

Lu Dachao swore to God: "Mr. Gao, if anything goes wrong, my head will be torn off and used as a ball for the neighbors."

Since entering the martial arts world, this guy has been full of martial arts aura.

Gao Yao said calmly: "That's best."

There were fires in many places in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island today, and Gao Yao was acting like a fire captain.

Since the fire brigade here was confident, and Gao Yao had arranged for Lu Dachao to assist, he felt relieved and left directly.

There are a lot of fires to put out today, Gao Yao is very busy.

……

If you give in, you will lose the support of the people because you are showing weakness;
If we insist on going our own way, it may lead to bloody conflicts and lose the support of the people.

No government can continue to rule after losing the support of its people.

With smoke rising all over Hong Kong Island, Grantham finally couldn't sit still. The situation was developing in an unpredictable direction, and this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

When Gao was about to return to Gao's mansion, he met a rare guest, Luo Wenjin!
The person who entertained him was Li Wanhua, who was also of mixed race.

Luo Wenjin's father, Luo Changzhao, was a comprador of Yihe Bank, and his mother, Shi Xiangqing, was a member of the Hedong family.Then he married He Dong's eldest daughter He Jinzi in 1918.

Seeing him was the same as seeing the He family.

Luo Wenjin is most famous for helping Maolong Suitcase Company win a lawsuit against a foreign company in the 30s, which made him famous.

His Law Firm, Law Man Kam, has become the leader among law firms in Hong Kong Island, and the Law family has also become a lawyer under his influence.

The Luo family thus became a legal family!

Among the upper classes, its influence is huge!
"Luo Dazhuang."

Gao Yao smiled and stepped forward: "Rare visitor, rare visitor."

"Why didn't you hang up the phone before you came? I could come and greet you in person."

"President Gao is very busy."

Luo Wenjin smiled and said: "I have nothing to do and I happened to go to see my Taishan, so I stopped by for a visit."

"I hope it won't trouble President Gao."

"No trouble, no trouble."

Gao Yao said enthusiastically: "Luo Dazhuang is an honored guest, the kind who cannot be invited even if he wants to."

"Coming to the door now is to give me face."

Luo Wenjin has the support of the law firm and He Dong. He is also very prosperous on Hong Kong Island and is especially trusted by Gui Lao.

For example, I was also trapped during the Japanese occupation, and I was announced that I would never be hired.

Luo Man-jin immediately returned to work in the Legislative Council after the war.

In [-], he was appointed as a member of the Executive Council by the Hong Kong government.

Lord Ron!

Luo Wenjin laughed.

Gao Yao followed up and said: "I know that Da Zhuang will not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. If there is anything, why don't you talk to the point straight to the point."

"As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

"Okay, hurry up and talk."

Luo Wenjin only had one thought after seeing Gaoyao. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Today's young people are really amazing.

He continued: "In the past few days, many residents of Hong Kong Island have made the sky blue and the sun bright, and the ground is red."

"If this continues, sooner or later the Hong Kong government will lose its temper."

Yes, if this continues, it will no longer be an ordinary demonstration.

Instead, it will turn into a dispute over sovereignty and ethnicity. It will really get serious, and bloodshed and sacrifice will become inevitable.

Gao Yao took the coffee brewed by Li Wanhua and took a sip. It was good to drink occasionally, it was warm and refreshing.

He said calmly: "The will of the people cannot be suppressed."

Luo Wenjin smiled slightly. He was already a representative of the Chinese in the 30s, and it was not like he had never dealt with matters in this area.

In fact, I know very well that public opinion needs someone to take the lead.

If there is no one to take the lead, it will be a mess.

Therefore, Luo Wenjin understood very well that this public opinion actually refers to the thoughts of people like Gao Yao.

"President Gao."

Luo Wenjin said: "I am here entrusted by the Hong Kong government. Why don't I first listen to the Hong Kong government's conditions?"

"speak!"
