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

The hour hand moved toward 8 o'clock, and Gao Yao finally arrived in a car with courage.

At a glance, he saw Gao Jin and Lu Dachao standing on the roadside. No one else was waiting. This alone made Gao particularly satisfied.

Doctor, he likes to be high-profile in public, but very low-key in private.

Now it's just a private dinner, it's enough for Gao Jin and Lu Dachao to pick him up.

Keep a low profile!
  As soon as Gao Yaofang got out of the car, passers-by started shouting: "Dr. Gao, it is indeed Dr. Gao."

"It's useless to call him a hero if you haven't seen Dr. Gao in your life."

The weather is hot and everyone likes to go out for a walk. Tsim Sha Tsui has relatively complete facilities and is close to the sea. It is one of the favorite places for many neighbors in Kowloon to hang out.

When they heard that Gao was about to appear, the neighbors immediately gathered in groups to surround him. Even though he was as fierce as a gangbang, Brother Ten couldn't resist the enthusiasm.

Lu Dachao and Gao Jin quickly rushed to Gao Yao's side, Bi Ruhengha, the second general.

"Dear neighbors."

Gao Yao's foundation is the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, but his popularity comes from the people, so he will never do anything that is isolated from the people.

Fortunately, Lu Dachao knew his master very well and had warned the people below him early on.

Therefore, Zeng Xijiu, Chuan Bao and others just organized manpower to maintain order, but did not dare to use violence against the neighbors.

Gao Yao shook hands with the people in front of him enthusiastically: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Are you full?"

Everyone laughed loudly: "Only go out for a few steps after you have eaten, otherwise you should be fighting against your bag."

Gao Yao laughed: "It's good if you can eat enough. We are just for a bowl of rice."

"Neighbors, you are full, I am not full yet."

With a smile on his face, Gao Yao handed over to everyone: "Eating is like an emperor. I hope everyone can have enough to eat every day, every month."

Everyone was immediately beaming: "TOEFL, TOEFL, doctor eats first."

"did you see?"

When Gao was about to be escorted in by Gao Jin and Lu Dachao, a group of neighbors discussed: "With the doctor's demeanor and demeanor, there is no one in Hong Kong and Kowloon who is more chic than him."

"Yes, the most important thing is that the doctor's character is really nothing to say."

Everyone was talking about it: "Have you ever gone to Li Uk Village to have a look? The quality is really good. There is water and electricity. It's your mother's fault. It's just a doctor."

"exactly."

"Who in Hong Kong doesn't know that Doctor's character is determined to win, unlike those two devils like He Dong."

Someone who knew the inside story said: "He promised to pay the wages to the workers during the general strike, but he has not paid them yet."

"This is a dishonest bastard."

At that time, Hong Kong people basically relied on the docks for their livelihood, and nine out of ten families were inextricably linked to the docks. The impact and far-reaching impact of the provincial and Hong Kong strike was unique.

So many people remember it.

The most important thing is that newspapers will bring up old stories from time to time. For example, newspapers recently reported that the International Labor Association has been negotiating on the salary that He Dong promised to workers during the provincial and Hong Kong strikes but has not yet been paid. .

As a result, He Dong either said that he was mentally ill and was seeking medical treatment, or he pretended to be deaf and dumb, causing the whole Hong Kong to curse him as a solitary and stingy person.

They all despised it!
  "How is it like Dr. Gao? Whatever he says he will do, he will definitely do it."

"The literacy classes now being held in tenement buildings in Kowloon are all spearheaded by Dr. Gao."

"Yes, yes, yes, and over there at Sha Tau Kok."

"I heard that the doctor felt pity for the people living by the sea in Sha Tau Kok, so he specially built public housing for them and set up a factory."

"Oh, it would be great if I could go to work at the Doctor's Factory."

Someone said: "Gaosheng Group's treatment is notoriously good. I heard it's no worse than Taikoo & Co., Ltd., and it's almost catching up with North-Nan Bank."

Taikoo & Co.'s treatment has always been better than that of Hong Kong's foreign companies. Since it is better than that of foreign companies, it is naturally better than that of China Bank.

Of course, the north-south trip is not among them.

The "north-south" in north-south traffic refers to "the transportation of goods from the south to the north" and "the transportation of goods from the north to the south."

"South" refers to the Southern Ocean and Southeast Asia, and north refers to mainland China, Japan, South Korea and Russia.

The Nanbei Bank is also known as the "Nine-eight Bank". In addition to profit, the purchase and sale of goods is 100 yuan, and a shop commission of 2 yuan is deducted. However, most shops set the shop assistant price at 4 yuan, so it is actually "1940 rows". By the end of the [-]s, the North-South Service was a "driver of power", and its status as "chief executive" or chief executive was higher than that of the "compradors" of foreign firms or shipping companies. Even if it was a shopkeeper, gang leader or Young people are always better than others.

How powerful is this north-south trip?

At that time, [-]% of the Hong Kong government's tax revenue came from Chinese businessmen who mainly traveled from the north to the south, and foreign banks did not contribute much.

The prime minister of Tung Wah Hospital is most likely a businessman from the North and South Banks.

In those days, the status of those who worked in the North-South Line as a lineman or a large shift operator was higher than that of a comprador in a foreign shipping company.

Even if he is a shopkeeper or a gang leader, he is definitely an outstanding person in the Hong Kong market.

How good is its treatment?

For example, there are "shirt mending ladies" stationed outside every store in the North and South Lines, who specialize in mending clothes for store associates. They will receive one or two cents of ICBC each time, and the store will provide them with two meals free of charge.

He is so nice to outsiders, not to mention his employees.

During the Lunar New Year and Tomb Sweeping Day holidays, many shop assistants who come to Hong Kong alone to start work can return to their hometowns with salary to be with their wives, so as to grow ginger.

Generally, if the store is very busy, they will thoughtfully arrange for pick-up and drop-off by the store's own bus (car).

At that time, the first choice for starting construction was the North-South Bank, but it was difficult to get in. The next best option was the foreign bank. If the foreign bank could not advance, the only choice was to go to the Chinese bank...

How long will it take for Gao to start construction?

How long does it take to travel north to south?

It's already pretty good if the neighbors talk about it and compare it to each other.

The person involved, Gao Yao, had already entered the box surrounded by stars. Naturally, these stars were powerful people, gentlemen and sages from the New Territories and Kowloon. They were all licking their faces and smiling in apology.

Gao Yao is called a down-to-earth person in front of the neighbors. He is a good neighbor, a good neighbor, and the son of others.

In front of this dry country squire was another face. He looked majestic, and even walked with the strides of a dragon and a tiger!

Gao Yao nodded slightly, walked to the main seat first, and then raised his hand: "Sit down."

Gao Jin and Lu Dachao were seated around Gao, and others also took their seats.

Everyone was a little uneasy. Ever since the doctor accepted the post of permanent Prime Minister of Kowloon Lok Sin Tong, he had never spoken.

As the saying goes, it is difficult to open the mouth of Chrysostom, but if it is opened, it may be a big deal!
  All of these people are really discerning.

Gao Yao smiled at everyone and said, "This is my first time coming to this store since it opened."

"Dashio, how is the chef here?"

You Guangqing is mainly used to entertain detectives and tycoons. It was specially designed for Lu Dachao, so he also arranged for people to manage the relevant aspects.

Lu Dachao said: "Prime Minister, the chef of our restaurant is Xu Fuquan, and his skills are not bad."

Speaking of Xu Fuquan, everyone present was immediately horrified and moved: "But the popular fried chicken chef Xu?"

Fried chicken is a famous local dish in Guangdong Province. It is indispensable for birthday banquets and wedding banquets. As long as there are chefs here, there are few chefs who can't make it.

In today's Hong Kong Island, there is only one person who can name "popular" before fried chicken.

Hedong’s chef Xu Fuquan! At that time, Xu Fuquan was working as a cook in a tavern. He cooked a fried chicken dish during a banquet hosted by He Dong.

Any banquet held by the He family must be hosted by Xu Fuquan, and everyone from all walks of life will be full of praise for the food.

This kind of person is not just a chef, he is one of He Dong's signatures. Unexpectedly, he is now invited by Lu Dachao to have the guts?

"Oh?"

Gao Yao really didn't know this. He looked at everyone's eyes and knew that there must be something different about this popular fried chicken.

He smiled and said: "It seems that his craftsmanship is good."

"Tell him that I'm going to treat you today, and he's going to have to work hard for you."

Everyone immediately understood, Dr. Gao didn’t know?

Does that mean it was done by Lu Dachao himself?
  They looked at Gao Jin, who was sitting next to Gao Yao, and thought that although the doctor's family was sparse, all his disciples were sharper than the others.

Gao Yao added: "Logically speaking, I can't eat this meal. I'm really not in the mood."

Everyone's hearts suddenly jumped and they all asked: "Doctor, why is this?"

Gao Yao sighed: "I read the newspaper. The party and state promulgated the "Temporary Provisions for Mobilization to Fight the Rebellion Period." The situation is critical."

"In the past few days, armed interception and killing cases have occurred in Tai Chi Ling Village, Ngau Tam Mei in Yuen Long, Chi Keng Village in Sai Kung, Lion Rock in Sha Tin and many other places."

Everyone immediately looked concerned: "This is indeed the case."

Chan Yat Sun from Tuen Mun responded: "To be honest with the Prime Minister, people in our Tuen Mun area are now in a state of panic. All locals must go together when going out."

Gao Yao asked: "Why?"

Everyone was silent. This topic was too big and too general for them to take up.

Fortunately, Gao Yao also knew this. He didn't want everyone to answer, but continued: "There are currently about 2000 police officers in the police force."

"Most of these people are located in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and Marine Police, and they have very little power in the New Territories."

"is not it?"

"The Prime Minister is right!"

Everyone said one after another: "Westerners have never paid attention to the New Territories, especially when we fought in the war."

The country boys in the New Territories look at Westerners differently. They have land in the New Territories. If we define their class, they are definitely the property-owning class.

As a result, the Westerners wanted to turn everyone into proletarians as soon as they came, and the rift became even bigger. Even if they reconciled later, there was still a thorn in my heart.

Also because the Hong Kong government failed to obtain the ownership rights of the land from the New Territories country boys, in the eyes of the Hong Kong government, the New Territories cannot generate benefits and is at best a buffer zone.

Naturally, they will not make efforts to develop in the New Territories, and they will not care about the security of the New Territories.

Gao Yao had some impression of Chen Rixin. When he first established Leshan Hall, this young man often cheered for Gao.

Gao Yao then looked at Chen Rixin gently: "How can we ensure the security of the villagers?"

Everyone suddenly realized that today's meal was for the sake of public security in the New Territories.

What does the doctor want to do?
  Chen Yat Sun said: "Prime Minister, at present, our villages in Tuen Mun are forming associations to help each other. If one party is in trouble, all parties will support it."

He hesitated and added: "It's just that it's still in the plan, inside..."

"There are a lot of issues involved."

As soon as Zhang Renlong saw the opportunity coming, he answered directly: "In this regard, Xiao Zhang, I have something to say."

Zhang Renlong is the future uncle of the Liao family in Sheung Shui. He is a leader above others in Sheung Shui. He is an absolute young talent. His speech last time was really thought-provoking.

Everyone knew that the doctor looked at him differently, and they immediately said, "Aaron, I'm a fellow villager, but there's no harm in talking about it."

"Everyone knows that when it comes to danger, Shihu Ruins is the most dangerous place."

Everyone nodded again, saying that what Zhang Renlong said was indeed correct.

Shek Wu Hui is the closest market to Bao'an in the New Territories. After the war, its agricultural products trade became increasingly prosperous.

There are many people coming and going, and there are many transactions. Relatively speaking, the probability of being targeted by a strongman is far greater than the places Gao mentioned earlier.

You know, Yuen Long is definitely a rural place, the kind that even dogs dislike.

Even in the 80s, when people in Hong Kong talked about Yuen Long, they always looked down upon it, saying that country boys only knew how to raise pigs.

It was only after the handover that the central government focused on developing the New Territories, and Yuen Long's development projects began to appear frequently, then things gradually improved.

It is also because Yuen Long is not noticed by people and is not valued by people from all walks of life, so it became the foothold of 14K and was made uniform by 14K.

"but!"

Zhang Renlong said loudly: "So far, there have been petty thefts in Shihu Ruins, but there has never been any robbery of weapons. Why?"

Petty theft is inevitable and difficult to prevent.

Then why are there no robberies?

Everyone felt like a mirror, it must be related to the doctor.

As expected, Zhang Renlong said: "Thanks to the Prime Minister."

"The Shihu Ruins are protected by a jade like a sea-fixing needle, and ghosts and gods from all over the world dare not invade the territory, so the village has no worries."

Everyone suddenly realized that what they said was a thousand things, but today was actually for the security of the world.

No wonder handsome Jin is sitting here, he is the president of Sihai Security.

"So, I thought."

Zhang Renlong thought he had figured out Gao Yao's thoughts correctly, and he just wanted to hire Sihai Security in the New Territories, so he wanted to speak.

Gao Yao coughed: "What Aaron said is true."

Zhang Renlong shut up quickly.

If you want to be a good person, you can be humble and low-key, but you will never do things like this.

It’s time for Sihai Security to make a name for itself, and we can’t praise it enough at this time.

He smiled at everyone and said: "Sihai Security, which is in charge of General Manager Gao, is very professional in this aspect."

Gao Yao had already spoken, and a group of people naturally wanted to support him, so they all said, "What the Prime Minister said is that he is simply the nemesis of evil."

"How much wealth is gathered around the gold and silver trading center? Usually, there are either people doing magic tricks or strongmen robbing. It's a mess."

"Since President Gao has been in charge, it can be said that the sea is clear and the river is clear."

To praise someone high is to praise something important. This is a natural truth, and people naturally praise him generously.

Gao Yao smiled slightly, these guys were a bit exaggerated.

Bonham Street East is currently the largest investment in Hong Kong Island besides the port, so the police force pays a lot of attention there.

In normal times, there will definitely be small fights, but do you mean there will be strongmen robberies at every turn?

This is when Yao Mu is a big head.

"The Hong Kong government will not take into account the security of the New Territories in its eagerness."

Gao Yao said seriously: "Since we are representatives of the folks, we have to take this into consideration."

"I am still saying the same thing, you must rely on yourself!" (End of this chapter)
