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

At the beginning of the lanterns, Gao Yao led a large group of people out of Guangdong.

Logically speaking, a group of men should go to the sauna and have fun together after eating.

Gao Yao has no interest in such sensual things. He likes to be quiet and works alone, and he is not willing to be honest with other men.

Immediately he told Lu Dachao: "Please make arrangements for the second half."

"Don't even leave today."

Gao Yao smiled at everyone and said, "It's rare for everyone to come from all over. Let's relax tonight."

"New Asia College will be established tomorrow. What a sycamore tree."

"Just in time to join together."

Since the British colonized Hong Kong Island, they have implemented a policy of free coming and going.

Except for the aborigines in the New Territories, the vast majority of Hong Kong people have no sense of belonging to Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, the atmosphere here has always been money-oriented and very impetuous.

But as the old saying goes, make up for whatever is lacking.

Hong Kong people who are obsessed with the smell of copper have great respect for cultural people.

For example, a big boss like Gao Yao has numerous titles, many of which are heavyweight titles, such as President of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, Eternal Prime Minister of Leshan Hall, and Eternal Prime Minister of Taiping Qingjiao.

Behind every title represents the strong support of hundreds of thousands of local people.

But for Gaoyao, it was the doctorate title given by the University of Hong Kong that made him most happy and valued the most.

When everyone heard this, they immediately beamed with joy. They rushed to say: "When Wenquxing comes to earth, he must go there to soak up his talents."

"When the time comes, I might as well pass it on to my puppy."

"No way, I can still go abroad to study abroad."

With their wealth, it would be trivial to send their Qilin'er to study abroad.

However, there are differences between those who study abroad. Although they all have to give money, their grades still have to be differentiated.

For the gentry in the New Territories, their wealth cannot be exposed to the public, and their network of connections can only be hidden underwater. Only the achievements of their children can be revealed to the public.

Gao Yao laughed: "It seems that I have to wish you all more literary stars in your family."

"The more the better."

Everyone immediately beamed with joy and said: "Thank you for your kind words from the Prime Minister."

The family has many necessary talents. In this way, even if there is a prodigal son among them, it can ensure that the family's incense can be passed down endlessly.

The biggest fear is that there are few people, so it will be difficult to cultivate Qilin'er.

Lu Dachao then moved his right hand outward.

Chuan Bao, Shi Ge and Zeng Xijiu, who had been watching this, hurriedly cheered up and stepped forward. They ignored the other squires and greeted Gao Yao respectfully: "Doctor (President). "

Dr. Zeng Xijiu is called Dr. Chuan Bao and Brother Shi are both from Chaozhou, so they are called President Gao Yao.

Gao Yao only remembered the incident. A Luo told him about it back then. He first smiled and shook hands with Zeng Xijiu: "Thank you, Sir."

Zeng Xijiu was trembling with excitement, and he stammered: "No... no... it's not hard."

Gao Yao smiled and shook hands with Brother Ten again: "Brother Ten, thank you for your hard work."

Brother Ten, who dared to fight from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island with a knife, and then back to Kowloon from Hong Kong Island, was almost exhausted by Gao Yao's shouting.

He broke out in white sweat: "Yes... yes... yes..."

With such power, even heroes in the world would not dare to bear the title of doctor.

Gao Yao patted Brother Ten on the shoulder briefly, and then shook hands with Chuan Bao: "I remember you, Ah Bao."

Gao Yao laughed loudly: "Aluo told me that you wanted to hit the moon."

Zeng Xijiu and Tenth Brother were immediately envious.

It's crazy, this seems to be a promise I made to Brother Luo in private last year.

Why did Brother Luo talk about this to the president?

I am not prepared either.

After seeing the envious looks in the eyes of Zeng Xijiu, Brother Ten and others, he felt extremely proud in his heart. He puffed up his chest and said loudly: "I would like to be the president of the Guima."

Gao Yao laughed and patted Kuanbao on the shoulder: "How many people do you meet? The most important thing is to make progress."

Lu Dachao then said to the three of them: "The prime ministers are physically and mentally exhausted. You will take everyone to relax later."

"All expenses will be on my account."

"understand."

The three of them nodded repeatedly. This is Lu Dachao's habit. He usually takes money and takes it back, but he will never ask for any extra filial piety.

If you go out for fun, Brother Chao will give you extra money.

This is a place respected by people in the world.

"Brother Chao, please rest assured."

Both Zeng Xijiu and Tenth Brother saw that the doctor seemed to have a different view on the conspiracy, so they didn't dare to talk to him.

Kuanbao promised: "It will definitely make the prime ministers happy physically and mentally."

When people like Leshantang saw this situation, they knew that Gao Yao and others would not have fun together, so they all nodded with smiles, and then left together with Chuanbao and others.

"Let's take a walk."

It was almost summer, and the air was both humid and hot, making me feel uncomfortable all over.

Fortunately, along the coast of Tsim Sha Tsui, the sea breeze blows from time to time, which can relieve the sweltering heat.

Freighters puffing out white smoke came in and out, and workers on the docks were working hard like ants.

"Their pay should have been doubled."

“As a result, you are now getting less for your labor.”

"Do you know why?"

Lu Dachao and Gao Jin both shook their heads.

"After the Chongguo period, the population of Hong Kong Island increased rapidly, inflation and prices increased four to five times compared with before the Japanese occupation, but wages did not make up the difference. Therefore, the government wanted to maintain a cheap labor force by freezing wages to speed up post-war reconstruction. and maintain trade competitiveness.”

After World War II, most regions around the world faced a problem: inflation.

The purchasing power of currency in most countries is declining sharply.

For example, from 45 to 48, prices in Little Devils increased by an average of 70 times. The Tokyo retail price index rose 100 times.

It had to try to reverse the situation by implementing "financial emergency measures" to reduce liquidity. 1: The "deposit blocking" measure mandates that each household is only allowed to withdraw 500 yen a month for living expenses.

2: Exchange old banknotes for new ones.

3: Open horse racing betting events.

Gao Yao felt that the little devil was not cruel enough to his own people...

Hong Kong Island is actually similar. Although the control policy has ended and free trade has resumed for most supplies, you must first apply for a license to import goods from the entrance and exit.

Thanks to many policies and the efforts of Chinese immigrants in Hong Kong, business on Hong Kong Island has gradually flourished...

The problem is that there are currently not many jobs on Hong Kong Island, and more refugees will come to Hong Kong in the next few years.

Inflation will become more serious.

"We should save ourselves."

Gao Yao looked into the distance, and the afterglow spread on the sea like golden yarn.

"This is a place for us Chinese, we cannot count on the Hong Kong government."

"Yes, sir."

Lu Dachao then reported: "Purdue Pharmaceuticals is scheduled to start building the factory next month."

Gao Yao smiled slightly: "Big tide."

Lu Dachao said hurriedly: "Master."

"Now you have gained a lot of face in all walks of life and are well spoken."

"This is all due to the master's reputation."

Lu Dachao was very clear-headed. If Gaosheng was compared to a kingdom, he would at most be a factory owner of a western factory. All the steps, honors, and prestige are based on the master.

This thing can be given to whomever the master wants and can be taken back if he wants.

He said respectfully: "I'm just pulling the tiger's skin off the master."

"Don't look down on yourself so much, that's because you have the ability."

Of course, Lu Dachao was capable. He was ordered to take charge of the Jiulong Jianghu, clearly sorting out the relationships between all parties, and making arrangements in a logical and orderly manner.

Even if there are flaws, they will never affect the overall situation.

Being able to do this is an absolute skill.

Gao Yao always praised useful people: "Now you are already a big boss."

"Choose a place and build yourself a house."

Lu Dachao was startled, and a warm current flowed through his heart: "Master."

In fact, there are already people in the world who are ready to surrender to him, but Lu Dachao has never accepted it.

Gao Yao waved his hand, indicating that he had made up his mind, and then pointed to the pier: "Now in Hong Kong and Kowloon, the busiest business is still the pier."

"But there are still so many coolies chatting."

No one is willing to stop if they can make money these days.

Why are the coolies chatting? Of course it's because I don't have a shift.

More importantly, apart from porters, it is really difficult to find other jobs on Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, during this period, the power of hometown associations and societies will be unprecedentedly powerful.

Because everyone has to rely on collective strength to find a job.

"Do you know why?"

Lu Dachao knew that he was asking himself, so he pondered and said, "Master, it's because there are not enough rice bowls to distribute."

"Everyone is waiting here because there are no jobs outside."

"Most of the jobs are held by various associations and associations, and everyone has to hold on to them."

“Otherwise the foundation will fall apart.”

All the fighting and fighting on Hong Kong Island originated from this.

In the past, Dongfu and Dongfu committed evil because more and more coolies from Dongguan were defecting to them, and they needed more jobs.

"There's only so much meat on the table."

Lu Dachao said calmly: "No one has enough to eat. If anyone wants to serve again, they will steal the meat from other people's bowls."

"So I will definitely fight."

Gao Yao's eyes were full of admiration. He saw it right. Lu Dachao was born in the green forest.

Given time, maybe he can become the grandfather who divides the pork.

"Horseness and evil are just symptoms."

Lu Dachao knows the market and the world very well. He is also smart. He can not only read and listen but also analyze, so he can settle all parties.

"master."

Lu Dachao said sincerely: "No one wants to fight or kill. Everyone wants to be harmonious and make money."

"Wang Laoji told me that for a period of time, he never went out to look for women, nor did he ask women to come to his home."

"I have to change several places to sleep at night."

That was the time when Zhongxinyi began to make a name for himself in the world. From the moment he burst into the streets with a loud voice, the world was filled with thunderous winds, cranes, and trees.

Everyone is afraid that they will become a dead ghost for no reason.

Lu Dachao concluded: "In the final analysis, everyone comes out just to have a bowl of rice to fill their stomachs."

He already vaguely understood what Gao Yao meant.

However, although Lu Dachao was smart, he only knew a few words, and his rise to prominence was short-lived.

Most of the energy is spent on maintaining relationships and establishing order.

For matters other than this, Lu Dachao was really powerless.

Gao Yao naturally knew this, and he said slowly: "If you want the world to be peaceful, you must have more jobs, and more people must open factories so that more neighbors can start working."

"If education is weak, industry will not flourish, and the people's livelihood will become increasingly dwindling..."

This is a one-stop service.

After the war, the main reason why the Japanese economy was able to dominate the world was that education in the country was very popular.

As for other countries, for a long period of time, they can only actively attract capital to exploit them by providing cheap labor.

Even so, the main view of capital at that time towards Asian countries was a cheap raw material supply base, and even related upstream and downstream industries did not want to move here.

Because a place without an education system is a value depression in the eyes of capital and cannot generate value other than raw materials.

This is one of the reasons why Marshall is constantly gesticulating in the East.

The Korean War changed capital’s judgment on Asia!

Gao Yao recovered his thoughts and said calmly: "Since we are here, it is necessary to benefit our hometown."

"In Kowloon and the New Territories, literate people must be respected."

Lu Dachao bowed: "Yes, sir."

The Chinese are pioneers wherever they go. It can be said that Asia was pioneered by the Chinese.

Just like Hong Kong Island, just like Singapore, just like Southeast Asia...

Gao Yao knew his countrymen very well and valued benefits over lies.

Think about it, among the East and the West, only the Chinese ask for feedback from gods when they worship gods and Buddhas...

Today, children are also a labor force.

Since there were not many volunteer schools at that time, most families were reluctant to send their children to school.

Gao Yao didn't think that he could move these neighbors to send their children to school with just a few words, so he planned to change his approach.

"According to Urban Council statistics, there are currently more than 5 hawkers on Hong Kong Island."

This is a thrilling number.

Hawkers are small businesses that sell goods on the streets. They mostly sell cheap goods and food.

For many years, hawkers have been one of the main means of livelihood for the lower class in Hong Kong, allowing citizens to meet their daily needs at low prices.

Nominally, these people do not need to pay rent.

In fact, they have to pay a license fee, which is a protection fee.

"I want you to set up another hawker management team and you can catch them yourself."

Lu Dachao's expression suddenly became serious: "Yes, sir."

When it comes to management, there must be some cheating and corruption. Gao Yao also knows that this is really difficult to avoid.

He doesn't think he is Hai Rui, and he can't do this.

He said, "I don't care about anything else, just two requests."

"On the one hand, we must not deprive our neighbors of additional benefits."

"Both of the two, if there are literate vendors among the vendors, they should be given a correspondingly good position, and should be publicized for it."

When Gao said something, Lu Dachao responded, and when he heard what happened, his eyes lit up.

This is really a wonderful move, and it is much better than talking about truth with sincerity.

If the vendors knew that literacy could be of such use, they would definitely go to literacy classes, night classes, etc.

Naturally, the children in his family have a high probability of being sent to school.

As for the question of whether the location can be arranged once everyone among the vendors is literate, Lu Dachao did not pay attention at all.

Just kidding, once you become literate, you will have more choices, so how can you become a hawker as your main business?

Lu Dachao was convinced: "Sir, I think the literacy classes here in Kowloon are going to be overwhelmed."

"Hahaha." (End of chapter)
