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

A Bin was born as a boat boy. He rowed without an oar and depended on the waves all his life. He was known as the Hua Tuo of Huanchang, and he treated people and gave injections everywhere.

What big scene have you not seen?
He is just a little loach, slipping in and out of every crack he sees.

As a result, they were almost in front of Cai's house. Huanchang Hua Tuo's legs felt like they were filled with lead, and it was difficult to drag them along.

Gao Yao took a look and saw that the Cai family's house was made of wooden boards and looked like it had been dismantled from a ship: "You didn't give any indication to your in-laws either?"

Gao Bin wiped the sweat from his temples and said: "Brother, Sister Shui said she would handle it herself, so she asked me not to worry about it."

"She's just so full of ideas! You know it."

Gao Bin yelled at Qu: "As a woman, you should wash vegetables and cook at home. What are you doing when you show up outside every day?"

Yo Ho,

Gao Yao said playfully: "Okay, it turns out that Abin is still a patriarchal person."

Hong Kong Island is indeed a very traditional place, especially since not many people were literate at that time. All they could do were manual jobs, and these manual jobs were obviously not suitable for women.

This creates a situation where men earn money to support the family and women stay at home to take care of the children.

Men naturally become the mainstay, while women who lack the ability to make money naturally have to be shrouded in patriarchal power.

When Hong Kong Island's textile and garment industries began to flourish, women began to work in factories to make money, sometimes earning more than men.

At that time, Hong Kong women will suddenly realize that they can also make money to support their families, and then they will develop the so-called new consciousness of women in the workplace.

But it’s still early days, and it will take at least several decades to form a certain climate.

Therefore, the current mainstream thinking in Hong Kong is that men are gods.

Gao Bin was confused: "It's quite big, but what's the point of paternity?"

Bang, Gao Yaoyang raised his hand and slapped Gao Bin on the forehead: "You just have a dick, please do it for me later."

Gao Bin held his head and felt aggrieved. He thought to himself that he was not the pan donkey and Deng Xiaoxian you talked about, big brother. He was indeed a donkey.

Cai Shuimei and Cai Jiyou are not here, but fortunately Cai Chen is at home.

The old lady was drying the dried fish and didn't notice Gao Yao and Gao Bin for a moment.

"Auntie."

The smiling Gao Yao said hello first.

The old lady looked back. She had been exposed to wind and sun all year round at sea, and her eyesight was greatly affected. She could only faintly see two outlines.

When Gao was about to bring Gao Bin closer, Mrs. Cai Chen shouted in surprise: "Dr. Gao, why are you here? Rare visitor, rare visitor!"

Gao Yao smiled and lowered his hand: "I came here to confirm the marriage between A Bin and the Cai family."

Gao Bin then said, "Mom."

This guy is still very sweet-tongued.

Ms. Cai Chen smiled from ear to ear. She responded and then quickly said, "Sit inside quickly."

"Sister Shui went to the garment factory and will be back soon."

The garment factory specializes in producing corresponding military uniforms for military camps. It can guarantee harvests during droughts and floods, and is quite profitable.

Gao Bin knew the situation inside the Cai family. The house was worth tens of thousands of dollars. There was everything inside, and it was difficult for outsiders to get in. So he said, "Mom, the sun is warm today. Just set up a small table outside."

"Yeah."

Cai Chen also knew this, so she hurriedly went to organize it.

Gao Yao glanced sideways at Gao Bin. This Abin only had a sweet mouth and didn't go to help?
While Cai Chen went in to make arrangements, Gao Bin secretly said: "Brother, Sister Shui must have gone to look for water for the garment factory and won't be back for a while."

"How about we come back next time."

"Parents to enrich people."

In a blink of an eye, Gao Yao came up with his old tricks again: "It's up to me and auntie to determine the auspicious day."

"You are just waiting to be the groom anyway, so don't give me wrong ideas."

Gao Bin's face suddenly turned bitter. Seeing Cai Chen's frustration, he quickly stepped forward to help.

On the table are chocolates, pastries and other items, which Cai Chen thinks are the most delicious things at home.

"Doctor, I didn't know you were coming."

Ms. Cai Chen, who was standing by the side, was a little embarrassed. She twisted her hands together and didn't know where to put them.

"The boy's father also went to the market."

Cai Chen is indeed a little nervous.

Gao Yao smiled and asked Cai Chen to take a seat: "Auntie, Abin is my good brother. I brought him up."

"Although he is a bit young and energetic, his character is not bad."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Cai Chen agreed: "My uncle also takes good care of us."

"I know my sister-in-law may have been a little aggrieved recently."

"No no."

Ms. Cai Chen waved her hands in panic: "Doctor, don't listen to people talking nonsense."

"Our Shui girl is not wronged, not at all. She is very happy."

"This is the blessing of eight lifetimes of cultivation."

Gao Yao glanced at Abin calmly, wondering if Abin was messing around?
He continued: "What I mean is this, it's been almost a year since Abin and his sister-in-law have been discussing marriage."

Gao Bin, who was expressionless, really wanted to correct himself. He thought that it would take at least half a year to make full use of your strengths. Brother, you always make up for your weaknesses with your words.

"This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

Mrs. Cai Chen was so happy that her eyebrows almost flew away. In this marriage, because of Gao Yao, the Cai family has always been passive...

Now that Gao wants to speak, Cai Chen is naturally happy.

"I looked at the almanac. The 6th day of the fourth lunar month, which is the Renxu day of the Wuwu month, is suitable for marrying and getting married. It is also auspicious in the Gregorian calendar. June 6 means good luck."

Gao Yao asked: "How about we get married on this day?"

Mr. Cai Chen calculated the time, it was about 1 month?Relatives and friends can be notified, and hosting a banquet is not a problem.

Logically speaking, Father Cai must make the decision on this matter.

The problem is, if the Cai family could make up their mind, Abin wouldn't do so many tricks.

Mrs. Cai Chen said happily: "Okay, okay."

She wiped the corners of her eyes: "My sister is finally able to get married."

Gao Bin's face turned red.

Gao Yao smiled slightly: "Auntie, regarding the banquet, do you want to hold a flowing banquet or hold it in a hotel?"

Cai Chen said timidly: "Everyone listens to the doctor."

Gao Yao shook his head: "Auntie, this matter is up to you."

Ms. Cai Chen glanced at Gao Bin again. She swallowed hard, and then hesitantly said: "We...we are thinking...of running a flowing banquet. It will be convenient for relatives and friends to come over when the time comes."

"Okay, let's have a running water banquet."

Gao Yao made the decision directly: "We will be at the Clear Water Bay studio when the time comes. There is air conditioning there, so we won't worry about the food spoiling."

"what?"

Ms. Cai Chen was frightened and happy at the same time. She looked at Gao Bin inquiringly: "Uncle, is that not the place where you want to start your career?" "Is it... bad?"

Gao Bin thought that the eldest brother had already decided, and he was determined to be the groom this time, so he quickly said: "Mom, hold a banquet over there. I will invite more people and receive more red envelopes."

Ms. Cai Chen said this immediately with a smile on her face: "Okay, okay."

In fact, she is quite sharp-tongued, but for some reason, she can't let go in front of Gao Yao.

Gao Yao also noticed this, and after chatting with Cai Chen for a few more words, he escorted Gao Bin and left with excuses.

48 is the year when the stars are moving. Gao Bin is getting married, Lei Guantai, who is coming back soon, is getting married, and the stone man Gao Jin is actually in love with a little girl...

Gao Yao planned to go to the banker for a walk, but it was rare to come to Qingshui Bay, so he still had to read the Yuanfang Daily.

With the dual support of Gao Yao's influence and financial resources, and the careful operation of Sun Liren, this newspaper has gained some momentum in Hong Kong Island.

However, this is not enough for Gao Yao. He hopes that Yuanfang Daily will become bigger and stronger, not only influential on Hong Kong Island, but also wherever there are Chinese people there should be Yuanfang Daily.

Only in this way can the Gao family's influence and business be covered in all aspects.

Yes, the daily newspaper is a business, and its biggest role is actually to cooperate with the Gao family, just like Sing Tao Daily is to Hu Wenhu.

People in the Nanyang area know Hu Boon Hu best, such as Haw Par Park, and the Hu family's flagship product, Tiger Balm.

Especially Tiger Balm, absolutely everyone in Nanyang knows it, and it occupies an absolute monopoly.

What helped it achieve this status were newspapers!

At that time, there were many products similar to Tiger Balm on the market. For example, there was one called Buddha's Balm Two-Day Oil, which had similar effects to Tiger Balm and was a strong competitor.

Hu Wenhu, who is well versed in promotion, first founded the Yangon Daily in Yangon and then wholly-owned the Myanmar Morning Post, which was the earliest local Chinese media.

After entering Nanyang, he successively founded more than 20 newspapers and periodicals such as "The Star", "Sin Chew Daily" and "Sing Chung Daily".

These newspapers carried out round-the-clock, overwhelming publicity on Tiger Balm, which directly had a crushing effect on Tiger Balm [-]-Day Oil, which gradually made Tiger Balm [-]-Day Oil unable to sustain itself and had to give up the market.

The Hu family monopolized the market. In the 30s, the annual turnover of its Wing On Hall exceeded [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, the Hu family's wealth was immeasurable, and it was said that it was no less than 3000 million US dollars!He is a wealthy man from Nanyang!
Now that Zhuyu is in trouble, Gao Yao must of course pay attention to the newspaper office, especially since he himself has tasted the benefits of being in the newspaper office.

At present, Yuanfang Daily owns an office building, an administrative building, and a printing plant in Clear Water Bay. It can be said that it is a shotgun exchange for a cannon.

"What is news?"

It was Sun Liren who was speaking. It looked like he was interviewing new people?
A clear voice replied: "It's not news that a dog bites a man, but it is news that a man bites a dog."

"Okay, okay, you are worthy of being a person who can write his own story. If you can remember this sentence, you will be an introduction to journalism."

"With your talent, it's a pity to only work as a telegraph translator in Ta Kung Pao."

"Come to Yuanfang Daily! We are a new newspaper, but we are full of vigor and vitality, which is best for you."

Ta Kung Pao people?
Gao Yao raised his eyebrows, could it be Master Jin?

When he was in school, Mr. Gao often included a copy of Legend of the Condor Heroes in his textbook, and he was mesmerized by it.

When the chat inside turned into chatting, Gao Yao knocked on the door and entered.

There were only Sun Liren and another young man with a Chinese face and glasses. The young man was full of poetry and calligraphy, and looked elegant.

It's him!

Cha Yiguan!
People's appearance is not static. As age and social experience increase, the appearance and expression will be completely different from when they were young.

However, in general, the original three-point appearance will be retained. Only these three points are enough for those who are interested to recognize it.

"boss."

Sun Liren stood up quickly: "Let me introduce to you. This is Official Zha Yi introduced by Ta Kung Pao."

"Yi Guan, this is our boss, Dr. Gao."

In fact, it was Mr. Gao who specifically asked Ta Kung Pao for help.

In 47, Zha Yiguan first joined Southeast Daily and then Ta Kung Pao, although he mainly worked as a telecommunications translator and editor.

After all, he is also a member of the newspaper industry and has read news related to Gao Yao. After hearing this, he quickly said: "It turned out to be Dr. Gao who saved people in Sai Ying Pun. I'm so lucky, so lucky."

"Hahaha."

Gao Yao laughed and stepped forward to shake hands with Zha Yiguan: "When did you come to Hong Kong Island?"

Gao's enthusiasm made Zha Yiguan a little overwhelmed. He said weakly: "I came to Hong Kong Island last night."

"Sit, sit."

Gao Yao called Zha Yiguan to sit down: "Were you in Shanghai before?"

"How do you feel after coming to Hong Kong?"

Sun Liren, who was helping to greet him, thought it was strange that his boss had such a different attitude toward the younger generation.

Zha Yiguan said honestly: "The scenery here is beautiful and the weather is good. It's pretty good."

That's not good.

To put it bluntly, Hong Kong Island is only one-fifth the size of Shanghai, and the only truly prosperous roads are Des Voeux Road and King's Road.Compared with Greater Shanghai, the economy, culture, and life are all relatively backward, and urban construction is even worse than Qiantang.

For Cha Yiguan, coming to Hong Kong Island is like suddenly arriving in the countryside from a big city, with the advantages of beautiful scenery and good weather.

Gao Yao smiled slightly. After all, Xiao Jin had just entered the society not long ago. He also knew that this guy still had the heart to be an official.

He immediately said meaningfully: "Hong Kong Island is a new city, and there are opportunities everywhere."

"But the biggest benefit is the stability."

"Life here is stable and there will be no more wars."

Gao Yaoyao knew what Cha Yiguan was thinking. This young man had no real intention of establishing himself in Hong Kong Island yet. He would only return to Hong Kong Island if his dream of joining politics was shattered.

In those years, when the Cha family's class was determined, he would truly take root in Hong Kong Island.

When the Buddha prays for someone who is destined to be with you, he only needs that person to be truly destined.

Gao Yao, who knew the future well, did not say much in this regard, and he basically did not interfere with the operation of Yuanfang Daily. He just said to Sun Liren: "Mr. Sun."

"I, Taishan, have arrived in Singapore. He will help the newspaper choose an office location there."

In fact, Bai Fanyu has been in Singapore for some time. According to Bai Yuechang's request, he has to send a telegram back every day.

According to what was said above, the one who called Hu Peng Huan You was so happy that Bai Yuechang was very angry.

Gao Yao took advantage of the situation and added extra burdens to Baifanyu's colorful life in Singapore, including the request to help the Gao family buy a property there.

There is no other way, a man must love his wife and then wrong his father-in-law!
"President Gao will also go to Nanyang later."

Gao Yao said: "Make preparations in advance."

Sun Liren said hurriedly: "Don't worry, boss, I have set up an overseas department to handle this matter."

"only…"

He glanced at Zha Yiguan beside him and swallowed his words as soon as they reached his lips.

"Don't worry about money."

Gao Yao understood it at a glance. He put down his hand and said: "The main task of the newspaper is to seize the throats of various places."

Officer Zha Yi next to him felt quite embarrassed. This seemed to be a business secret, so he wanted to make an excuse and leave.

Gao Yao saw it at a glance and stood up with a smile: "I'm just here for a walk, you continue."

Since Officer Zha Yi will come for the interview, Gao Yao thinks that he will most likely stay at Yuanfang Daily this time.

If things come true, maybe a martial arts master will be born in his own hands? (End of chapter)
