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

Chapter 313 313: If Mr. Gao doesn’t come out, what will happen to the world?
Each era has its own myths, and each era has its own legends.

In the previous era, He Dong, Luo Wenjin and others were the protagonists of the era. They made friends with foreigners through their comprador status and gained political status, thus becoming famous.

But, my lord, times have changed!

It was possible to play like this in the past because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in power and foreigners were the first-class people. All countries could freely lie on the body of the great celestial dynasty to suck blood.

Foreigners like to drink spicy food, so there is no problem for compradors to drink some of the leaked soup and water.

But not anymore.

All the old orders have been broken. Colonies are pursuing national independence and national awakening one after another. The original colonial empires are in decline.

A new generation of powerful people is rising, and order is being reshaped.

The so-called comprador class is gone forever. In fact, foreigners have clearly felt this, because in the past few years, they have changed comprador to manager Hua.

But years of arrogance have kept them from bowing down.

And this ultimately made people like Luo Wenjin and He Dong believe that no matter how the outside world changes, the Chinese will still have to fight against the foreigners, even if they run and dance.

This is why they will be abandoned by the times and why a new generation rises.

Generation V’s views are different from theirs!
Luo Man-jin explained the Hong Kong government's intention in a very organized manner. After all that, there was only one point, that is, the Hong Kong government stated that it would maintain the status quo of the Kowloon Walled City.

As for the criticism caused by Ah Cai's death and the demolition process, Yousi will be held responsible.

Gao Yao's smile was a little playful, which was called a rough condition.

Luo Wenjin saw this in his eyes and thought that young people should always be more cynical, and they would know it if they were beaten a few times by society.

What he didn't know was that Gao Yaochuan didn't come here to be a dog.

I don’t even know that the world is actually changing subtly.

In the past, the British were able to show off their power and arrogance on Hong Kong Island because the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China had nothing to do with it.

But later?Where is the Westerner's turn to speak loudly?
When we engage in sports later, we are going to call the ghost guy to judge him.

"President Gao."

Luo Wenjin said sincerely: "Actually, I also know that this cannot be regarded as a condition."

"But now that the world is in turmoil, it's easy to be used as a weapon."

"It will still be the citizens who will suffer by then, so why let the general public suffer this before the New Year?"

Luo Wenjin then said: "Your Excellency the Governor has already stated that he will elevate the status of the Chinese people. Regardless of whether it is in name or in substance, you have to do it first to know."

He stood up and held his hands tremblingly: "President Gao, please take action as if it is for the sake of the general public."

Gao Yao let out a long sigh: "The general statement is too serious."

Demonstrations are of course political actions. Since they are political actions, there are hidden tricks in them.

For example, Grantham tried to use "strong governance" to solve the problem in the Kowloon Walled City, mainly to express his power in front of the people and to show his courage and energy.

The demolition of the Kowloon Walled City is not the purpose. The main purpose is to avoid the new political logic that will affect the post-war relations between China and Hong Kong. That is, the internal affairs of Hong Kong Island will always be entangled with the sovereignty dispute. If the events caused by this logic become the norm, subsequent events will The Hong Kong government will become increasingly passive.

Therefore, he tried to take tough measures to stabilize the political situation.

And why did the demonstrations in the mainland turn from peaceful patriotic demonstrations to violence?

Of course it's because there are political factors involved.

Gao Yao not only read the newspaper, but also listened to Liu Meiren's tips.

After entering 48 years, the situation of the Kuomintang on the battlefield has taken a turn for the worse, and the situation outside the customs has become increasingly dangerous.

In order to maintain their rule and give confidence and illusion to the majority of people under their rule, they need to concoct a smoke pop-up.

Through the anti-British and anti-American movement, the people mistakenly believed that the current national crisis was in the south, not in the northeast or northwest.

The main purpose is to divert the attention of the Chinese people and distract the Chinese people so that the Chinese people will no longer pay attention to the kind of activities they carry out in the Northeast that betray their national interests and destroy their territorial sovereignty.

As a result, the CC department even framed the Shamian riots on the red traitors.

Gao Yao knows this. Citizens play games out of publicity and righteous indignation. However, there are bad people among the masses, and there are always people trying to cause trouble.

If Gao Yao hadn't taken full control of everything, he would have almost become someone else's pawn.

"Come on, come on, come on."

Gao Yao said: "When things prosper, the people suffer. When they perish, the people suffer."

"The people are so innocent."

Gao Yao said sincerely: "The general knows that we, the Chinese, have a low status in Hong Kong Island. Let alone foreigners, even Ah San dares to scold us at every turn."

"I have no other requirements."

"It's just that the Hong Kong government must pay attention to and improve the environment for our Chinese people in the future."

"Of course, of course."

The big stone hanging in Luo Wenjin's heart finally fell to the ground, and he hurriedly agreed: "President Gao, in fact, the Hong Kong government has realized this."

"Your Majesty the Governor has been formulating relevant policies to improve the identity and status of our Chinese people a year ago."

Luo Wenjin thought to himself, President Gao, you are the beneficiary.

Otherwise, how could anyone obtain the status of an unofficial Justice of the Peace, an unofficial member of the Urban Council, etc. at such a young age?
Like us, who doesn’t have such a chance only after the age of 30?
Luo Wenjin left with satisfaction. He had basically achieved his goal and had an explanation for Grantham. Naturally, he was in a good mood.

But Bai Yuechang, a silly girl, stupidly came over and asked, "Husband, isn't it a bit worthless for you to engage in such a big battle, but the result is heavy thunder and little rain?"

Gao Yao chuckled and rubbed Bai Yuechang's little head: "Silly."

Mr. Gao still wants to rebel against the British and drive the Americans to Shen Dongyang. Is it possible...

But Li Wanhua understood a little better. She whispered from the side: "It's amazing for a Chinese to show such great energy and still have nothing to do."

"after…"

She glanced at Gao Yao and saw that Darling was taking another path.

In the days to come, the Hong Kong government must be vigilant but must maintain necessary cooperation.

Oh…

Li Wanhua's eyes were shining brightly, she was a collaborator, so she didn't need to wear a chain ring around her neck.

Bai Yuechang said: "My husband is already very powerful."

Gao Yao asked: "What are you great at?"

Bai Yuechang blurted out: "They are all amazing."

As soon as the words came out, she felt something was wrong, so she angrily stepped on Gao Yao's toes and ran away with a glare.

"You'll have to work hard later."

Gao Yao took Li Wanhua into his arms. The purpose of marrying this Yangma was firstly because of his family background, and secondly because he needed to show his face and move around in various circles.

Li Wanhua hummed: "It's not hard work, it's all done by me."

In the future, she will not only actively participate in salons between Western and mixed-race circles on behalf of the Gao family.

I also want to go to Haojiang often.

Of course, the purpose of returning to Haojiang is not to visit my parents' family, but to help the Gao family look after the property there, so that they can have room to move around.

If you advance, you can become famous and famous; if you retreat, you can cultivate your mind and protect yourself.

Gao Yao suddenly understood a truth. This was what he meant by not putting eggs in one basket.

Unfortunately, he has no heirs.

Li Wanhua immediately felt something strange, her pretty face turned red, and her watery eyes looked down at Gao Yao: "Darling, it's daytime now."

"It's best during the day, so you can see clearly."

……

Grantham finally breathed a sigh of relief. He pinched his temples and his tense nerves relaxed.

"Thank goodness."

In fact, the Hong Kong government is currently indifferent to negotiations with the Nationalist Government, because according to intelligence agency observations, the Nationalist Government has fallen into decline.

They believe that there is a high possibility that power will change hands.

The next question is not the governance of Hong Kong Island, let alone the Kowloon Walled City, but the question of whether the new regime will take back Hong Kong Island by force in the future.

If you don't even know whether Hong Kong Island can be governed in the future, what's the use of caring about other things?

"Congressman Luo," Grantham said: "There is speculation and speculation in the stock market, and the suspension date has been extended again and again. The problem is very serious."

"I plan to set up an investigation committee to conduct in-depth investigations into related incidents."

"The Colonial Secretary will take the lead, and Councilor Luo will be invited to attend the meeting when the time comes."

Luo Wenjin immediately smiled. He knew that the investigation committee was officially investigating stocks, but in fact it was to peacefully resolve the current incident.

Sure enough, Grantham then added: "Congressman Gao is also invited to participate."

Luo Wenjin thought that although it was a bit overwhelming, Gao Yao still shocked the Hong Kong government.

But we still have to see how it happens in the future.

These Westerners are quite careless.

"clear."

Luo Wenjin said: "I will notify Councilor Gao along the way."

Grantham nodded slightly, Gao Yao...

He chewed the name silently in his mind. When he first met him, he thought he was a rising star among the Chinese compradors.

At a young age, he knew how to deal with Chinese people, and he was able to do so with ease.

Who knew this man actually had a mask on his face.

Grantham frowned. Gao Yao was so young, but he already had huge influence and appeal among the Chinese.

What he does is even more eclectic and bold.

Grantham had a headache. He thought that Mrs. Jian was good at choosing people, and she actually chose such a person to support his younger brother's political career.

"Sir Mai, please come over."

During this demonstration, the police maintained the greatest degree of tolerance and did not maliciously beat demonstrators again.

Grantham was greatly appreciated for maintaining the civility and courtesy of the Hong Kong government.

"I have established a temporary investigation committee, and they will be responsible for brokering and negotiating solutions to demonstrations, strikes and other matters."

"Cooperate with your heart."

McIntosh felt relieved. Every parade was like a formidable enemy for the police force.

The police only have 2 people, but the number of people marching can often be tens of thousands. If one person is not right, the oil pan will explode. He is always on guard every day, lest something bad happen.

It would be an injustice if the Hong Kong government pushes us out to prevent disasters.

He hurriedly said: "Yes Sir!"

Grantham asked casually: "I heard there were several fire incidents outside?"

McIntosh said quickly: "Sir, except for the Hung Hom power plant, which is more serious, everything else is just scratching the surface."

"It's not serious."

Grantham frowned: "Hung Hom Power Plant?"

"Yes."

McIntosh replied: "Burn it all down."

"CLP Power is actively helping itself."

Grantham asked: "In other words, there is no electricity in Kowloon now?"

McIntosh hesitated and said: "It's not nothing."

"Kowloon Power Plant stated that out of humanitarian spirit, they will make every effort to lay cables and provide electricity during this period."

"After the Hung Hom Power Plant is powered on, they..."

McIntosh was a bit speechless. He felt that the Kowloon Power Plant wanted to be a bitch and build a monument at the same time.

Shameless!

Moreover, there are many unspeakable ambiguities in this. McIntosh, who has taken advantage of the high position, does not want to stab him in the back at this time.

He is a man of integrity and will do things when he gets money.

What a coincidence!
But precisely because it was such a coincidence, Grantham was hesitant.

He knew about the Kowloon Power Plant, and Kadoorie had been looking for him for this thing.

I didn’t expect time to fly by so fast. Is it all powered on?
Grantham asked casually: "What was the reason for the fire at the Hung Hom Power Plant?"

McIntosh hesitated and said: "From the current point of view, it is most likely because the lines are aging or not being properly connected..."

"We still need to check the details."

In other words, the police cannot confirm that someone deliberately set the fire.

This made Grantham feel much better.

"Give the people an explanation as soon as possible."

……

There are too many people to explain!

Since Gao wanted to approve, the parade in Kowloon unknowingly weakened a lot, and then slowly, fewer people participated.

As for the strike?

Oh, everyone still wants to celebrate the New Year.

Production has resumed in Kowloon, and everyone is working in full swing.

It is true that most people don't want much, they just want a bowl of rice to fill their stomachs and a tile to cover their heads.

politics?

That's something only officials care about, what does it have to do with everyone?
I have been busy all year, and during the Chinese New Year, I have to cut some new clothes for my family, buy some meat, and put some fat in my belly, right?

Once Kowloon flames out, Hong Kong Island will naturally be unsustainable.

Especially after Mrs. Acai took her daughter to Gao Mansion, everyone became even more bored.

For Gao Yao, two more people in the family are just two more pairs of chopsticks.

But for Mrs. Acai and her daughter, it was simply heaven.

A Cai's wife's daughter was ten years old and illiterate. Gao wanted to send Buddha to the West, so he sent her to Maryknoll Convent School.

With someone's face and money, the school will naturally open the door to convenience.

"Mr. Gao, Mr. Gao."

Gao Yao was about to get in the car and leave when he saw a slim girl running hurriedly from a distance.

Xiao He has just revealed her sharp horns, and the girl in school uniform is youthful and charming.

Gao Yao's eyes were slightly suspicious.

The girl who ran up to Gao Yao couldn't help but stamp her feet when she saw this. Mr. Gao had forgotten about it after signing for himself.

"Mr. Gao, this is Yang Meng."

"oh oh!"

Gao Yao remembered it and said casually: "Xia Meng."

Who is Xia Meng?

Yang Meng's clear eyes flashed with confusion: "Mr. Gao, are you talking about me?"

"Hahaha."

Gao Yao laughed dryly and said vaguely: "Stage name, stage name."

Yang Meng immediately hit the snake with a stick and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for giving me the name. I will use this stage name from now on."

"Xia Meng?"

She said happily: "It feels good."

Gao Yao's face looked a little weird. Can it be bad? In later generations, this name was called the Hepburn of the East, a heartthrob.

How many men are obsessed with this name and can't help themselves. Even Master Jin is willing to be a screenwriter for it.
