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

The problem is not a big one, it’s just that the prodigal son Gao Bin used Gao Jin’s identity to open a house and got involved...

Gao Yao was surprised: "How did Shui Mei know about such a secret thing?"

Liu Meiren pouted, men really only help men hide things.

"How can you not get your shoes wet when you often walk by the river?"

"Oh, I won't tell you. I'll blame you later."

"I can't afford to mess with Brother Bing."

Liu Meiren re-examined Gao Yao's outfit, it was really perfect.
"I'm leaving."

Gao Yao persuaded him to stay: "Stay and eat."

Liu Meiren shook her head desperately. She only said two words and asked Gao Yao to agree.
"Damn it, my legs are weak."

"Wa hahaha."

Gao Yao had nothing to say and could only ask someone to send Liu Meiren back.

It was as if they had made an appointment. Just after Gao Yao finished feeding Axia the chicken soup, Bai Yuechang and Li Wanhua came back hand in hand.

Seeing how energetic the two women were, Gao Yao, who looked at ease, boasted: "Did you win money?"

It doesn't matter whether you win money or not, the most important thing is to have a good mouth.

The Gao family's card game depends on the player. If Axia and Li Wanhua take action, they will definitely be able to calculate the card game properly and make sure there are back and forth.

If a silly girl like Bai Yuechang plays the table alone, she will basically lose everything. There will never be the second situation.

"Husband, you are really more clever than Zhuge Liang."

"Today I played the village 7 times in a row and killed them until they lost their armor."

The dancing Bai Yuechang looks really lively.

"The temple blessing is right, I really want good luck this year."

In fact, she gets lucky every day.

Gao Yao smiled and hugged Bai Yuechang and Li Wanhua: "Okay, good luck to both."

"But you didn't kill Mrs. Jane and the others to cry, did you?"

"No way."

Bai Yue Chang's eyebrows were beaming and she said: "Wanhua and I will win a little and lose a lot, but I'll let her win a little bit."

"Yoah."

Gao Yao praised: "You are really my good baby."

"Invite Mrs. Jane to the Xiayue Grand Stage tomorrow. You can watch the show and play cards at the same time."

Gao Yao said: "Give her a little golden man."

Bai Yuechang was startled. She glanced at the agile Li Wanhua, and then asked, "Husband, is something wrong?"

"My parents are the ones who gave birth to me and know me well."

Gao Yao hugged the two girls and went to sit down on the sofa, and then talked about the London Olympics.

To be honest, if it weren't for Li Huitang's invitation and Liu Meiren's reminder, Gao Yao would have been too lazy to pay attention to this Olympics.

World War II destroyed not just the economy, but all aspects.

As many as 59 countries and regions participated in the Olympic Games this year. Unfortunately, they did not achieve outstanding results.

Bai Yuechang didn't care about this at all, but Li Wanhua knew better: "Darling, I heard that rationing is still implemented in London and no new venues have been built."

"This Olympics..."

In fact, Li Wanhua likes sports very much, but just because she likes it, she knows that this Olympics is a bit of a rush.

Of course, the official statement is that they hope that people who have suffered from the destruction of their homes and the death of their loved ones during the long war can re-experience the happiness of peace and friendship here.

In fact, Gao Yao, Li Wanhua and others all know that the fundamental reason is that the current Attlee government hopes to reshape and display the image of the Empire on which the sun never sets by hosting the Olympic Games.

The Olympics are inherently linked to politics.

Li Wanhua tried her best to be tactful, but after thinking about it, she found that she couldn't be tactful unless she shut up.

"Pretty shabby."

Bai Yuechang asked curiously: "Shabby?"

"How can the royal family be so shabby when they are so rich? There is no reason."

The British royal family seen here on Hong Kong Island has always been majestic and wealthy, and the British territory is as far as the sun can reach.

To be honest, a lot of people were into this idea at the time.

"They are all old almanacs."

Gao Yao thought to himself that the sun never sets on Mao. If the sun never sets, he will not talk about it and start a World War II.

In the end, I even lost it!

Now the two beasts, the woolly bear and the bald eagle, were sharpening their knives and preparing to dismember the John Bull.

Li Wanhua sighed: "I remember daddy once said that the London Olympic Committee sent a telegram requesting gymnastics equipment, food and mineral water from the empire."

"At the same time, the athletes of the empire are required to provide their own food."

Bai Yuechang's eyes widened: "Isn't it?"

"I thought our situation in Xiangjiang was already miserable enough. Why is the royal family so bad too?"

When Situ Zhiren came last time, he said that food, clothing and gasoline were all rationed in London.

But now after listening to Li Wanhua's words, Bai Yuechang realized that the royal family was just trying to make a fool of themselves.

She said speechlessly: "How can you pretend to be rich if you don't have money?"

Li Wanhua said with a smile: "Actually, I heard that the Attlee government regretted it after taking over the right to host the Olympic Games."

I regret it because of two aspects. One is that it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and the other is that the domestic people are strongly opposed and believe that the government is wasting public money at such a critical moment.

She secretly said: "Daddy told me that this government has only allocated 75 pounds to host the Olympic Games."

The current £75 is already quite a lot, but there are already 4062 athletes participating this year, plus the accompanying...

This little money is enough for a living.

Gao Yao believed that the shortage of food was inevitable, and the shortage of materials was also inevitable.

Bai Yuechang was speechless. For the first time, she discovered that the royal family was also a poor man, and she suddenly felt disdain in her heart.

"This is big business."

Both Bai Yuechang and Li Wanhua were confused by Gao Yao, and now the London Olympic Committee's poor eyes are green. Each participating country has to take care of everything. How can it be such a big business?
Gao Yao smiled mysteriously: "Not all businesses have to be profitable."

This is true.

Not all of Gaoyao's many businesses are profitable.

For example, hospitals, schools, etc. are absolutely losing money at the moment.

But there are differences in the returns from business. Some return money, some return people, and some return reputation.

What else can be done with London?
Of course it's reputation.

If you want to gain a foothold in the Western world, you can only follow other people's aristocratic system.

Gao Yao planned to learn from He Dong and use pounds to ask the royal family to buy his identity.

He Dong's request had not been agreed to before, but Gao Yao believed that his operation should be easier for all parties to accept.

Theoretically speaking, the success rate is adequate.

"Wow."

"Profiteer." Bai Yuechang commented, but then she took the initiative to kiss Gao Yao: "I like it."

Gao Yaoxi's eyebrows almost flew away.

"I will donate food and materials worth 10 pounds to London."

The Olympic Games are scheduled to be held on July 7, and it is high enough to organize a fleet to transport supplies there.

"But there is a prerequisite."

Gao Yao said: "All materials sent from Hong Kong Island must be printed with the four words "Made in Hong Kong."

Both women looked at Gao Yao with admiration. This was originally an excellent opportunity to become famous, but her husband gave it up and put the overall situation first?

Of course they don't know that all this is just business for Gao Yao.

A person who wants to leave a mark on this era will naturally want to seize the opportunity when he encounters it.

Bai Yuechang muttered: "Husband, you just think about everyone too much."

"Silly girl."

Gao Yao hugged Bai Yuechang and Li Wanhua hard, and said slowly: "What we are doing is not a petty business."

"The Gao family's luck is connected to Hong Kong Island."

"If Hong Kong Island is prosperous, the Gao family will be prosperous."

"Don't talk about this. You have worked hard today. My husband will help you relax."

"No."

Bai Yuechang half-heartedly said, "I still want to lose weight."

"Good baby, you don't understand this."

Gao Yao had already passed the stage of liking fair and thin children. He held the two girls in his arms while walking and instilled the concept: "If you are too thin, your luck will run away at the sight of it."

……

A few days later, many sages gathered at the Kowloon City Pier, headed by the five major clans of Kam Tin, the Tang clan, the San Tin Man clan, the Sheung Shui Liu clan, the Sheung Shui Hau clan and the Fanling Peng clan, as well as the Hakka clans such as the Tsang clan and the Yang clan. On the side, and a group of squires from Kowloon.

Everyone seemed to be standing together, but in fact they were still standing together like the Three Kingdoms into three forces.

There is no way, if it weren't for Gao Yao's face, everyone would never stand together.

Normally, just grabbing water can knock the dog out of his head.

Among them, the more outstanding ones include the newly appointed chairman of the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals, Lam Tak Hau, the principal of Lung Kwu Tan Chi Hing School, Kan Koon Man, the young man who called on the squires to rebuild Yan Oi Hospital in Tuen Mun, Chen Yat Sun, and the recent celebrities in Sheung Shui, Cheung Ren Lung and Lung Sang Tai Chi. Proprietor Gu Chaowen, former Lok Sin Tong Prime Minister Chen Zuze, former Lok Sin Tong Prime Minister Jason Tan, etc...

Before Gao Yao could wait, he was listening to Lu Dachao's report on the situation of the squires who came to the meeting today.

In fact, if Gao Yao holds the handle in his hand, Le Shan Tang will have the control.

Among them, there is no need to mention the five major clans. A big clan like this is determined not to stand out. What they want is peace in the world. As long as it does not harm their interests, they will not object.

Speaking of the Hakkas, the Hakka gang is now dominated by Kowloon, and if you want to eat in Kowloon, you have to look at Gao Yao's face, so the Hakkas definitely support Gao Yao.

The only ones left are these squires in Kowloon.

Jian Guanwen was just a teacher. He was a bit too bookish, so there was nothing to worry about.

As for Chen Yat-xin, this young man began to participate in the rural affairs work in the New Territories when he was 20 years old. He was very trusted by the government and was known as a bright star with Zhang Renlong.

If you are trusted by the government and you are young, you can pass directly.

After all, it is still Tan Jason, Chen Zuze, and Gu Chaowen who were the prime ministers of Leshan Tong before the war.

"Master, Gu Chaowen doesn't need to think about it."

Lu Dachao was very confident: "He runs a pawn shop and knows how to measure."

To be able to open a pawn shop in a place like Kowloon, where people are mixed, Gu Chaowen is certainly not a simple small role. Although he does not hang around in the world, he actually has many people working with him.

At the same time, Gu Chaowen was also the chairman of the Kowloon City Neighborhood Welfare Association.

Don't underestimate the Neighborhood Welfare Association. This thing is very binding among the people. Sometimes speaking is better than being an official.

Lu Dachao added: "Chen Zuze is quite powerful, but he is suspected of being a traitor."

During the Japanese occupation, many prime ministers in Leshan Hall participated in anti-Japanese activities, which caused great damage to the vitality of Leshan Hall.

Among them, Chen Zuze did not participate in the anti-Japanese war. He was later implicated and imprisoned. After his release, he was appointed by the little devil as the "deputy district chief" of "Yuan District" (i.e. Kowloon City).

Gao Yao frowned slightly and then said, "It seems that the Hong Kong government has not listed him on the list of people who will never be hired."

After the war, the Hong Kong government also conducted liquidations, but most of them were lifted high and dropped gently.

There are many reasons for this, the most important one is that they can be recruited by the little devils to serve, and most of them are powerful people among the people.

For example, Yan Chengkun from CMB had to cooperate with the Japs because of public transportation problems. Although he later escaped and hid in Haojiang, he was despised for a while.

Chen Zuze was able to be appointed as Yuan District, of course because of his outstanding strength.

As early as 1917, he started operating a department store business in the Kowloon City area, and was also involved in medicine, cosmetics, antiques and other industries.

In 1933, "Chan Geng Huan Department Store" was founded. The main store is located on Nga Tsing Wai Road, Kowloon City, with a total of seven branches.

Definitely someone to win over.

Gao Yao said coldly: "The two mass graves at Wuxisha and Cuyuzhou in Ma'anshan are still there."

"When will it be the traitors' turn to talk about Kowloon's affairs?"

During the Japanese occupation, the little Japanese implemented the return home policy and reduced the 3 million people on Hong Kong Island to less than 160 in just three years.

The two mass graves that Gao wanted to talk about appeared because of this homecoming policy.

At that time, there were also many traitors in the world. For example, Lin Man, the red stick of Fu Yixing, had a relationship with Denichiro Hisamiya of the Japanese military police department. He used the kid as a backstage to open a gambling bureau on Sheung Wan Street and made a fortune. Great wealth.

As a result, other social figures also established relationships with the Gendarmerie Department through Lin Man, resulting in numerous gambling dens in various regions.

Later, these people helped the little devils sell opium.

In July 1942, the Japs set up more than 7 comfort stations in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon to solve the physiological problems of the Japs. At that time, many of these traitors helped the Japanese army force local women to serve as "comfort women."

After the war, people such as Lin Man and others were shot directly, but there were also fish that slipped through the net.

Most of those who can slip through the net are prominent figures in society.

Of course, this is not a phenomenon unique to Hong Kong Island. Even those who are at the lowest level know that many people within the National Government have turned into patriots.

Let’s not talk about the peninsula and Southeast Asia. After World War II, most of the powerful people served as path leaders.

Lu Dachao thought to himself, it seemed like he had some time to clean up Chen Zuze.

"drive."

Gao Yaoli was fully confident after one lap, and immediately ordered the driver to drive. He was a big shot, and it was always the rule to make the finale.

"Dr. Gao is here, Dr. Gao is here."

Everyone waved their hands. At that time, no one had such a magical power. As soon as he appeared, he was as bright as the Emperor's Sun, shining in all directions.

Speaking of which, most people here only know about Gaoyao from newspapers and word of mouth.

But there are very few people who have actually met Gao Yao face to face.

At this moment, seeing the car approaching, most of the people's hearts were surging, as if they were expecting the arrival of the king.

Can't blame them for thinking this way.

Kowloon is not far from Hong Kong Island. If you sail a small fishing boat, you can get there in ten minutes.

But this is just like those cities in later generations that were divided by rivers. There were obviously bridges connecting them, and it only took a few minutes to drive there, but people on both sides rarely communicated with each other.

They behave like people from two worlds.

This is the case with Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. They are now two worlds... (End of this chapter)
