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

Now that Gao Yao is in charge, I hope that God will be strong enough to send talents of all kinds to you.

The desire for talents is like the water of the Yangtze River, which is endless, and like the flooding of the Yellow River, which is out of control!
  Li Si is a wizard and an expert at counting!
  He was born in a serious gold shop, and just as Sha Dantong said, his ability to see, transform, and melt gold is unparalleled.

Although he is only 20 years old, he was already in charge of his family's Tianbaorong Gold Shop and Yongsheng Bank in Shunde when he was 15 years old, and he was running it properly.

People in the industry say there is a successor to the Li family.

If the market had not been in decline, he would never have come to Hong Kong Island to seek another career.

What Gao Yao knows most about him is that this guy is the most dedicated to real estate among the four major real estate families.

Among the four major families, only Li Si is focused on real estate, and does not even look at other industries.

Gao Yao thought to himself, if given time to arrange Li Si and Xiao Li together and let Shuang Li be in charge of the real estate, he might be in trouble.

Thinking of this, Gao Yao said with a smile: "Since we are all destined, and A Tong appreciates you so much, do your best."

"Young man, there is a chance."

Now that Lee Zhao Kei has appeared, Kwok Desheng from Sun Hung Kai's Three Musketeers should also come to Hong Kong Island.

Gao Yao recalled that in his impression, Guo Desheng opened a Hongxing Heji grocery store in what was then Chongguang, Hong Kong Island, which was actually a supermarket on Hong Kong Island.

There are so many of these things on Hong Kong Island, there are dozens if not hundreds of them called Hung Hing. It’s really hard to find...

Wait, upper ring?
  Gao Yao remembered that this store was first opened in Sheung Wan. Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his lips and he accepted Guo Desheng as his disciple. The four major real estate families in the future would all belong to him.

Shark Dantong saw that Gao Yao was in a good mood, so he gave Li Si a proud look, and he followed: "Boss, I'm going to let Ah Si take charge of the gold speculation business in the store, as well as the gold in Haojiang. "

It is really difficult to open a gold shop on Hong Kong Island without involving gold speculation business, especially since Gao Yao is still engaged in gold smuggling with Dr. Luo Bao, He Xian and others.

He is home!

It is also normal to engage in gold speculation business.

"Atong, I told you that you are responsible for business matters."

Gao Yao smiled and said, "It's up to you to decide."

Sha Dantong said hurriedly: "I still have to tell the boss, otherwise I will always feel uneasy."

"Ah Si, why don't you thank the boss?"

Li Si said neatly: "Thank you, boss! Boss, please rest assured that I will work seriously."

Gao Yao still believes this. Before Li Si got involved in real estate, he had been specializing in gold for nearly 10 years and earned his first pot of gold through this.

He is absolutely talented in the gold industry.

Now there are big water pipes to support him. Looking at the whole Hong Kong Island, there is no problem for him to indulge in money speculation.

"Okay."

Gao Yao turned around and said to Sha Dantong: "I want to help someone get married. Is there any suitable gold jewelry in the store?"

“It must be high-end yet down-to-earth.”

"It makes the other party feel like they've hooked a golden son-in-law again."

It was rare for Gao Yao to take the initiative to speak. Sha Biantong immediately cheered up. Hearing this, he slapped his thigh: "Boss, you really came at the right time."

"Since he is a golden turtle's son-in-law, he must give him a golden turtle as a gift."

In ancient times, golden turtles referred to officials' accessories, but only officials and princes of third rank or above were eligible to wear them.

Of course, this kind of man is the best among men. If a woman can marry this kind of man, she will live a life of food and clothing, prosperity and wealth.

Therefore, in later generations, if a son-in-law is of noble status, he will be called a golden turtle-in-law.

"well."

Gao Yao suddenly laughed: "That's okay."

Gao Jin is the younger brother of someone Gao, his absolute confidant, and the person who will help Gao hold the gun in the future. Of course, he is the golden turtle's son-in-law.

That is to say, she is of the right age, and Gao Jin has his eye on her. Otherwise, to be honest, the eldest daughter of a banker is definitely not qualified to enter Gao Jin's family.

"But it's not enough."

Gao wanted this person to be absolutely fair in everything he did. Gao Bin was getting married, so Gao helped him establish a relationship with the military camp and gave him a fortune.

Gao Jin doesn't need it, but as an elder brother, he must show great affection and loyalty when helping people to hire people.

How to respect the law?

Of course the gift needs to be heavy.

This was very difficult for Shark Dantong. He racked his brains and began to think. Since the boss said this, it is definitely not about money, nor is it about piling up gold randomly, but it must be appropriate!
  Suddenly seeing Li Si standing next to him looking calm and composed, Sha Dantong had an idea. He clasped his hands behind his back and asked, "Ah Si, you come from a gold shop family, so I guess you will help with accessories for the wedding banquet."

"Come, speak confidently and boldly."

Gao Yao looked at Li Si with a smile. A Tong's mind worked very fast and he was good at Tai Chi.

Li Si said calmly: "Boss, if the golden turtle son-in-law is not enough, why don't you add a bed-riding son-in-law?"

"There happens to be a Xizhi bed in the store."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Gao Yao suddenly laughed: "OK, just these two, wrap them all up."

Dong Bed Kuai Son-in-law said that back then, Xi Jian, the Taiwei of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, had a daughter who was of marriageable age, so he wanted to pick one out from the home of Prime Minister Wang Dao.

At that time, everyone else tried their best to behave in front of Xi Jian, but Wang Xizhi was lying shirtless on the east bed drinking tea, as if he didn't know about it.

Xi Jian picked him at a glance. He was Wang Xizhi, so he came to be known as "the quick son-in-law of the East Bed".

There happens to be such a Xizhi bed in the store now, isn't it just right for the occasion?
  "Boss, please wait a moment while Ah Si and I go packing."

Shar Dantong greeted Li Si to the warehouse with a smile on his face. As soon as he disappeared from Gao Yao's sight, Shar Dantong's cold sweat broke out.

While wiping his sweat, he said: "Ah Si, although my temporary appointment of a general has really made things difficult for you, brother."

"But you don't have to play with me like this, right? Let me tell you, let's admit our mistakes to the boss honestly."

"Boss Hailiang will definitely not embarrass us. If it doesn't work, I, Atong, will take the responsibility."

Shark Dantong couldn't even think of a frivolous boss-in-law in the store. There seemed to be a golden bed, right?

But it's quite small, about half the size of a palm. It's a toy for children.

How can I use it for employment?
  Isn't it embarrassing?

Li Si glanced at Sha Dantong gratefully: "Brother Tong, you know me and never lie."

He said softly: "The boss said he was the mediator, right?"

Sha Dantong nodded: "That's right."

"Think about it, with the boss's identity and status, if he goes to secure a matchmaker, are gifts important?"

Shark Dantong scratched his head: "Even if you come to the door empty-handed, you should open the door wide and treat the boss as a first-class guest."

Li Si concluded: "The gift is not important, the form is more important."

Shark Dantong groaned, and he clapped his hands: "That's the truth."

"Good boy."

Once Shark Dantong thought about it, he became arrogant: "Brother Tong, I saw you right. You are destined to be prosperous."

Li Si smiled slightly: "I remember there was Laughing Maitreya in the store."

Shark Dantong thought quickly: "Choose a suitable one and put it together with the golden bed."

The two of them said in unison: "This is the quick son-in-law of the East Bed!"

The golden turtle is bigger, about the size of a palm, with clear texture and vivid texture. You can tell at a glance that it is the work of a master craftsman.

As for the gay son-in-law, he really responded to the occasion and could almost see Gao Yao's gums when he smiled. "Not bad."

Gao Yao praised: "You have really put a lot of thought into this."

Sha Dantong apologized and said, "As long as the boss is happy."

He thought to himself, it turned out that the boss had noticed it a long time ago, but he just didn't tell him.

"that's it."

Gao Yao turned around and went to the banker's house. At this point, Zhuang Jing'an was at the company, Zhuang Yueming was at school, and there were only Zhuang Qiu Biyun and Yao Daughter at home.

"Sister-in-law."

Gao Yao handed over his hand and said, "I came here specifically to ask for my hand in marriage."

Zhuang Qiu Biyun was stunned by these words. Fortunately, she reacted quickly. She invited Gao Yao into her home to serve tea while she quickly called Zhuang Jing'an to come back.

At that time, most of the Chaozhou people in Hong Kong were engaged in rice shops, soy sauce gardens, restaurants, local grocery stores, etc. Zhuang Jing'an was an outlier among them.

When he was young, he attended a private school in rural Chaozhou. After graduating from elementary school, he left home like many trendy people and went out to pursue his career.

He first worked as an apprentice in a bank in Guangfu, was later promoted to manager, and then independently opened a wholesale business.

In 1935, the 27-year-old Chong Ching-an got involved in the watch industry when he came to Hong Kong to make a career in the world. He opened a copycat factory in Sheung Wan to produce cloth and leather watch straps and handed them over to watch dealers in Hong Kong and Kowloon for sales.

Due to the high quality and low price of Zhuangji watch straps, they are very popular among agents and consumers. The scale of production is expanding day by day, and the products are also sold to the mainland.

By the early 40s, Zhuang Jing'an began to engage in watch trade, mainly purchasing Swiss watches and reselling them to Southeast Asian countries.

After the restoration of Hong Kong Island, Zhuang Jing'an believed that the economy must be in good shape, so he began to adjust the company's production, opened a watch shop, and opened a watch assembly factory, and the business was in full swing.

Zhongnan Watches has become famous in Hong Kong Island, and Zhuang Jing'an is also regarded as a successful person.

It's just that this guy is not very close to Gao Yao. Generally speaking, everyone has a feeling of being from the same hometown. If something happens, he will definitely help a few people.

"President."

Zhuang Jing'an rushed home immediately. He was middle-aged, had enough life experience, and was very magnanimous in his work.

He is also considered a big boss.

However, it was still not enough to watch in front of Gao Yao. Zhuang Jing'an tried his best to keep calm: "Your Majesty is here, and Pengpi will shine."

"Let's get together with a few people."

Gao Yao said with a smile: "Lao Zhuang, I'm not hiding it. My brother Gao Jin is in love with your daughter Yue Ming. He is relatively reserved and low-key, so I, as the elder brother, will help him secure a match."

Zhuang Jing'an's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth felt a bit bitter. No wonder she saw the bright moonlight with a smile on her face recently. It turned out that the peach blossoms were really blooming.

"This this…"

Zhuang Yueming is 16 this year and can get married in theory, so Zhuang Jing'an can't use the reason of being young to frustrate Gao Yao, otherwise Gao Yao will definitely get angry.

But if I agree to this...

The old father always felt a little unwilling in his heart.

As Gao Yao spoke, he began to take out gifts, mainly golden tortoises and golden beds: "Although my brother Gao Jin is taciturn, he is a good helper to me, Mr. Gao, and marrying your wife will never disgrace her. "

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Zhuang Jing'an is a member of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, and there are many Chaozhou people in his company. He is very, very aware of the rise of the Chaozhou Gang.

How could he not know that the cool young boy was Gao Yao's top horse?

The core cadre of the Chaozhou Gang?

How could such a person's status be said to have insulted Zhuang Yueming?

It should be said that it is a high climb!

"only…"

Zhuang Jing'an gritted his teeth: "President, this is the first time I know about this matter. I always have to ask Yue Ming what he means?"

Gao Yao laughed: "Old Zhuang, you are fooling me."

Although he was smiling, there was a chill in his eyes.

To be honest, among the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, Zhuang Jing'an treated him as if he were aloof.

That is to say, Gao Yao cares about how many people should help each other, otherwise he may be hit with many knives.

"No no."

Zhuang Jing'an can speak his mind in front of his subordinates, but he can't show off his authority in front of high officials.

Their opponents are either foreign companies or some big family. How much do you have?

What's more, this is the president of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce. Will he not support the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce in the future?

He quickly said: "The president doesn't know something. My daughter has learned a new culture..."

"No matter how new a woman is, that's what her parents ordered her to do as a matchmaker."

Just kidding, new women have to look at the times, the environment, and trends.

Not to mention that the Chinese in Hong Kong most likely follow the Qing Dynasty Law, which is about patriarchy.

Let’s just talk about the current Hong Kong and Kowloon. Apart from those in the flesh business, where can women earn money to support themselves?

Even if she can earn it, in the environment of Hong Kong Island, if there is no man behind her, even a mere female streamer will never be able to keep her money.

This is not discriminatory against women, but this is the current environment.

Among a group of hungry wolves full of ruffians and hooligans, you are a woman. If you don’t have a man to help you, who will give you face? He should have pounced on him long ago to do that, that, that, that, that, that, that.

To put it more closely, Gao wanted Lei Liusan, a widow who best suited this point, to abandon ship and land with her son...

It was indeed very painful and incredible, because she actually accomplished something great.

Why?

The Lei family has been a poor people for generations! There are countless relatives and friends at sea!
  Although Lei Liusan came ashore, she did not change her surname and still had the word "Lei" on her head.

It turns out that Lei's father's relatives and old friends among the gang of gangsters still recognize her.

Do you really think that any woman can receive the right to transport cargo from a big coal merchant?

Just kidding!

Just like before, Dong Fuhe dared to ask Third Aunt for ten thousand, just because Third Aunt could find a way to get it...

When Guantai was in later generations, the reason why he was able to organize countless small sampans to transport goods to the mainland was because he had a group of gangsters behind him to follow him to fight against the storm!

No one has a sampan, so he transports it like a chicken feather.

Therefore, success is not unreasonable. In an environment like Hong Kong Island, people like Gao Yao are an outlier. For most families, men are the only one in the world and are the absolute backbone of the family!

Gao Yao had already presented the golden tortoise and the golden bed. He smiled and said: "Old Zhuang, I am personally very optimistic about this marriage, so I am here to be the matchmaker."

"Of course, this gift is a bit light."

Gao Yao had absolutely nothing to say about his work. He said to Zhuang Jing'an, "I know that you, Lao Zhuang, have been expanding work and production recently."

"How about this."

He patted his thigh and said, "I heard that it is very popular to set diamonds on watches recently."

"It just so happens that someone like me owns a few De Beer licenses. As long as you are interested, Mr. Zhuang, I will ask someone to give you a share of the diamonds."

"We Teochew people are all Lat Tsai when doing business."

Gao Yao smiled and said: "Come to think of it, we are all members of the same chamber of commerce, but there is no chance to do business together."

"Just in time to make up for it today." (End of chapter)
