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

Chapter 339 Chapter 339: Grabbing Baoshan, I think you are at least as tall as a dozen floors
The first shot of the new year, the sales miracle created by Gaoyao's off-plan properties directly blew up the entire Hong Kong Island.

The miracle of sales exceeding 1500 million in half a day is unprecedented!

And when I calculated the income carefully, I realized that it was like running a money printing machine at home, trying desperately to get money into the house.

Because of this, the whole Hong Kong was in an uproar, and just as Gao Yao expected, the money moved people's hearts. His report this time really aroused a lot of passion from all parties.

It’s hard to make money and eat shit these days. It’s hard to find a ready-made opportunity. There is really no reason for everyone not to participate.

"As the saying goes, if you have money, you don't make a bastard."

"Dr. Gao said that everyone should have a house to live in. I think this is reliable."

What is most discussed in teahouses on the streets is Gao Yao's plan to have a house for everyone, and what is most thoroughly studied is the pre-planned housing system.

"Treat houses as commodities, you genius!"

Liao Baoshan finally agreed with a group of partners to build and sell properties under a high-end off-the-plan system. There were dozens of people who had the same idea as him.

Seemingly overnight, Hong Kong Island has officially entered its first year of real estate development.

"Dr. Gao, Gao."

Zhou Xinian praised Gao Yao: "I think you are at least as tall as a dozen floors."

"Hahaha."

With the efforts of newspapers and broadcasters, things are developing in the direction expected by Gao Yao. It is difficult for Gao Yao not to be high-spirited and scold Fang Qiu.

"Mummy, Mummy."

It was a ridiculous compliment, but it almost made your back teeth laugh out loud.

Gao Yao is indeed happy. Now there are at least a dozen real estate developers outside who are ready to follow his example and benefit thousands of people.

As time goes by, as long as these people make money, others will naturally follow their example.

When the time comes, the entire chain will be activated, benefiting the entire Hong Kong Island.

As the chief trader, can Gao Yao be unhappy?

If it weren't for time travel, where would he have the chance to control a city?

"Dr. Gao is humble."

Zhou Xinian said sincerely: "If you hadn't initiated this matter, how would all parties have joined in so quickly?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Xinian felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavor bottle. Before last year, he had always encouraged all kinds of people to follow him.

As a result, in less than a year, the first advocate was replaced by Gao Yao.

It's not that he, Zhou Xinian, doesn't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast to play like this.

"That's what the neighbors need too."

Gao Yao was receiving Zhou Xinian in the courtyard. The two of them climbed up to the high platform and looked into the distance. The beautiful Victoria Harbor seemed to be right in front of them.

This feeling is unparalleled.

"Dr. Zhou, you said this is a heaven-given place."

Gao Yao pointed his finger far away, and everything was under his finger. The buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbor and the cargo ships in the sea were all under his finger.

"It is our time to make Hong Kong the Pearl of the Far East."

Before that, this honor belonged exclusively to Shanghai Beach!
Zhou Xinian was shocked. He felt that he had never been able to see through Gao Yao. If he wanted power, this young man didn't seem to be that attached to power.

When it comes to being greedy for money, people are really good at giving without expecting anything in return.

Is this really selfless?Zhou Xinian doesn't think so. He thinks Dr. Gao is too complicated.

"well said."

Zhou Xinian praised loudly: "Dr. Gao is right. Once in this life, we must do something practical and we must not let down the high expectations of the folks."

As he was talking, he heard the sound of stomping footsteps.

Lin Jing said from the side: "Master, Lu Dachao is here to see you."

The arena is a fairyland, the most direct vanity fair, and all scenes must be displayed for others to see.

Therefore, among the people in Gao Gongguan, Lu Dachao, who came out later, is the most famous and is known as the faucet of Kowloon.

Both black and white will obey his orders.

"master."

Lu Dachao did not avoid Zhou Xinian, because Lian Gongle, a subsidiary of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, was also following his orders. We were all in the same boat, so there was no need to hide it.

Zhou Xinian thought that Gao Yao's hand was really long, but the archway was also well erected. Now, through Lu Dachao, he can remotely control the miscellaneous rooms and triads in Kowloon. Not only is he clean, but also has this damn influence. It hasn't decreased at all.

Then again, it's because these people under Gao are capable.

Zhou Xinian thought to himself, why don't he have such talents under his command?

"speak."

Lu Dachao bowed and said: "The squire of Cheung Chau asked for permission to organize a bun-raising competition this year?"

Zhou Xinian said: "Robbing Baoshan?"

He looked at Gao Yao and Lu Dachao and immediately understood that if he wanted to hold a peaceful ceremony, Gao Yao must nod his head now, otherwise it would definitely not happen!

Unexpectedly, Gao Yao could now influence folk customs in this way, which made Zhou Xinian feel even more sour in his heart.

Gao Yao didn't understand. Nonsense. He was not from Hong Kong. Naturally, he didn't know the local folk customs. But to have Lu Dachao come back specially, and with Zhou Xinian looking like this, it was extremely important to come to grab buns. He didn't want to do it right now. He said animatedly: "Tell me in detail."

Not only is it important, it is simply very important.

In Hong Kong movies, grabbing buns is often described as grabbing fireworks. In fact, the two are not the same.

At that time, the plague broke out in the area near Taipingshan Street, and many civilians died. Later, under the guidance of Xuantian God, a Hailufeng resident moved the Beidi worshiped in his home to the street, and after people offered incense and prayed for blessings, the plague quickly Just fade away.

Since then, residents have held Tai Ping Jiao rituals in Tai Ping Shan Street every year. Later, in order to prevent fires, the Hong Kong government banned residents from performing ritual rituals in Tai Ping Shan Street. The residents then moved the Tai Ping Qing Jiao rituals to Cheung Chau, where the Hoi Lu Fung people live. An annual tradition.

In order to repay the gods for their kindness, residents dressed up as gods and paraded on the streets to drive away the plague god and pray for peace.

During the Qing Dynasty during the Taiping Festival, people followed the Hailufeng custom and set up Baoshan, a collection of Youbao, to worship Beidi.Hailufeng people traditionally snatch orphans, that is, snatch sacrifices, after the ceremony, and Baoshan is no exception.Traditionally, the more buns you pick, the more blessings you will have.

The Taiping Qingjiao Festival is held once a year, and each event takes several weeks. Among the most popular events are the bun grabbing and color parade.

After singing the magical opera, the Prime Minister of the year was responsible for beating the gong at midnight, and the participants would climb up the mountain and try their best to grab the bamboo tents hung with bamboo poles. safety packages, and the obtained safety packages will be distributed to other residents.

If you successfully grab the buns on the Bao Mountain, the whole family will have good luck in the year, and the higher the buns you grab, the better luck you will have.Since everyone hopes to grab the higher package, there will naturally be a scene of competition between you and me.

This is an annual event on Hong Kong Island, but due to the Japanese occupation, it has been suspended for many years.

After Chongguang, the squires wanted to do it, but the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce was weak at that time. Yes, the leaders of Baoshan robbers were Chaozhou nationals. The most interesting thing is that the leaders were the Triads!
Until the late 70s, the main force in Baoshan robbery was the Chaozhou Gang. For example, Fu Yixing and Xinji often showed their strength by robbing Baoshan!

This is also the reason why Lu Dachao came to report, because he is the faucet of the Gao family in the world, and he is also the faucet of the Chaozhou Gang. This matter cannot be bypassed by the Gao family no matter what!
This is the big tree attracting the wind!
Secondly, of course, it was because the Hong Kong government implemented military control in the two years after Chongguang, and the food rationing system was quite strict, which was not enough to support the production of Youbao.

This year is different. The market is gradually getting better, and more and more grain ships are coming to and from Hong Kong Island.

Although the Hong Kong government still implements food rationing, in fact this system has been relaxed a lot. If there is enough food to support the production of Youbao, Taiping Jiao activities can naturally be held.

Only then did Gao Yao understand. He said: "Since it is the wish of the villagers, it will naturally be carried out." "I will bear all the expenses this time."

Zhou Xinian looked sideways, I'm going to give you a thumbs up, if you have money, you can show off.

Lu Dachao bowed and said: "In that case, sir, I'm afraid we have to go to Cheung Chau."

Gao Yao was surprised, why did he still go to Cheung Chau?
But Zhou Xinian knew better. He coughed and explained: "The date for holding the Taiping Qingjiao needs to be determined by divination."

"But before that, a cup is thrown to select the prime minister of the year."

Choosing the Prime Minister of the Council is simple, as long as each candidate goes to Pak Tai Temple to throw a cup.

According to the rules, each person throws the cup 10 times, and the person who gets the most Holy Cups (two cups representing one yin and one yang) will be the prime minister of that year.

Then the prime minister of that year would throw the divination cup three times a day at Beidi Temple in early April. The day when the Holy Cup could be thrown twice and the Treasure Cup once (both cups were yin) was the day chosen by Beidi.

After the day is determined, the cup is thrown once every hour starting at midnight of that night, until the first hour when the Holy Grail is thrown is the time when the Taiping Jiao begins that year.

The program is very complicated, and the main focus is piety.

What Lu Dachao meant by this was most likely because the Cheung Chau Tai Ping Qing Jiao Association wanted to ask Gao to be the prime minister of the industry.

Now that Mr. Gao has generously sponsored all the expenses for this peaceful funeral, he must be the only one to be responsible for the Prime Minister.

God in heaven will understand. After all, there is no incense without money.

Gao Yao smiled at Zhou Xinian and said, "Dr. Zhou, it seems we are going to go fishing."

Zhou Xinian was immediately happy. For many years, the Cheung Chau Tai Ping Qing Jiao Festival has always been dominated by the Chaozhou Gang, and he could only watch from the outside.

It is truly an honor to be able to go to Beidi Temple with Gao Yao now.

"Of course, of course."

Zhou Xinian said in high spirits, "Let's go drink Tingzi porridge."

Cheung Chau is located between Lantau Island and Lamma Island, facing Lamma Island across the West Lamma Strait to the east, and opposite Lantau Island and Hei Ling Chau to the west and north across vast waterways respectively.

Its residents mainly come from the Huizhou, Hailufeng (both of the Hoklo ethnic groups), Chaozhou ethnic groups, as well as Cantonese and Danjiazi.

However, it was the Teochew Gang that dominated Cheung Chau.

Gao Yao took advantage of his family's yacht and left at his will.

The sea is vast and the sky is blue, Gao Yao said: "The folk customs are good."

Gao Yao likes folk customs.

Zhou Xinnian nodded: "The Taiping Qingjiao not only helps expel the plague and cleanse the people's wisdom, but also attracts tourists. It is a good thing both for public and private purposes."

Just like a float parade after the New Year, although it was a little rushed, it still attracted nearly 10,000+ people for sightseeing.

The entire Hong Kong Island was filled with joy and everyone was smiling.

All the previous unpleasantness was directly eliminated, and everyone began to look forward.

It also allowed the Hong Kong government to see the power of the Chinese in it.

Overall, the event was quite successful, and Gao Yao is already planning to make it a regular event and hold a float parade every year in the future.

It doesn’t matter whether he will go and see it himself. The most important thing is that it can show everyone’s spirit and let the Chinese enjoy the New Year lively.

And this Tai Ping Qing Jiao Festival is no exception.

The Tai Ping Jiao Festival is held for several weeks before and after. During these days, many people and tourists come to Hong Kong for sightseeing.

Although Hong Kong Island itself is not currently positioned as a tourist city, with more people coming, it can still stimulate the local economy.

"Big Tide."

Lu Dachao bowed: "Master."

Gao Yao said: "In any competition, there will inevitably be a chaotic situation where you and I compete."

"It doesn't matter if you fight for it, but no one will be killed."

"Clear, sir."

Lu Dachao thought about it, and it seemed that he would have to hold a meeting after returning, and then emphasized that he knew that these guys from the Chaozhou Gang were all gearing up and waiting.

"Let Lian Gongle also participate in the bag grabbing."

Zhou Xinian was overjoyed!
In the past, it was unthinkable to live in Dongguan.

It seems that I have not followed Dr. Gao in vain.

Lu Dachao glanced at Zhou Xinian and responded directly: "Yes, sir, I will inform Liu Rongju when I get back."

In fact, Cheung Chau is not that far away from Hong Kong Island, just a few dozen miles. Just this distance makes Cheung Chau lose some of its prosperity and become more refined.

Not many buildings on Cheung Chau were destroyed, and they looked much better.

A group of people had already been waiting on the pier. After seeing the yacht breaking through the waves, a group of people were overjoyed: "With such majesty, it must be President Gao."

They claim to be a member of the Jiao group, so they must call Gao Yao the president.

Only people outside the Chamber of Commerce would honor Gao Yao as Dr. Gao.

If someone calls him Chairman Gao, Prime Minister Gao, etc., he must be someone who has little friendship or does not know how to deal with the world.

These days, how can money compare with culture?

"Yes, yes."

Someone among them said: "Only the president has such momentum."

They looked at each other and beamed. The Chamber of Commerce had a backbone and everyone could do things freely.

Someone else looked at it and said, "Oh, this boat is so rich and powerful."

The yacht is getting closer and closer, and the pride that hits you is almost suffocating.

As expected, it was Chairman Gao, one of the richest people in the world. With the president personally present, it seemed that there would be no problems with this year's Taiping Qing Jiao.

The yacht stopped at the pier, and a group of people on the pier rushed forward: "The president is here in person, and Peng Pi is shining."

"The folks are very happy."

Zhou Xinian, who was following behind as a little transparent, could see it clearly. He was envious and curious at the same time. Gao Yao didn't seem to have done anything for the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, so why did these people welcome him from the bottom of his heart?

He thought to himself that people are still different after all.

In the past, I seemed to be on an equal footing with Dr. Gao, but later on, why did I feel like I had become a follower?
I'm hitting your lungs!

Gao Yao, who was smiling brightly, shook hands with everyone one by one: "I'm sure to bother everyone when I come back this time."

"Today I just brought a pair of eyes and ears."

Gao Yao first expressed his position: "Listen to the neighbors!"
