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

The older he gets, the more people he meets and the more things he does, the more Liang Chang understands what it means to have the same force in all events.

He happens to be 30 years old this year.

Generally speaking, people at this age have already had a certain amount of experience and their energy is at its peak. This is the time to work hard and strive for success.

Liang Chang actually doesn't need to work hard anymore.

Thanks to World War II, he wore many hats. He was both a spy for the military command and an intelligence agent for the British Army Service Corps.

It has always been prestigious among the black and white roads located on the two rivers of Xiangjiang and Haojiang.

After World War II, Liang Chang discovered the secrets of HSBC and became a millionaire. Then he immediately became a business partner with the powerful old Luo Bao of Haojiang and started the gold business together.

People who have people, money, status and influence do not need to work too hard.

The most important thing is that Liang Chang believes from his own personal experience that hard work is useless and prosperity depends entirely on opportunities.

Now, there is an opportunity.

Liang Chang walked briskly and entered the Taixing Entertainment headquarters.

"Brother Chang."

Fu Laorong's eldest son Fu Yinzhao stepped forward with a smile: "It's been so long before I'm back."

"Let's drink together tonight."

"Young Master Fu opened his mouth. It seems I have to empty my stomach."

Liang Chang smiled heartily. During World War II, he often traveled between Haojiang and Xiangjiang.

The casinos under the jurisdiction of Taixing are full of dragons and snakes, which is a good place to get information.

Relying on the reputation of the military commander and the British Army Service Corps, Liang Chang soon became passionate with Fu Laorong, and the two sides had a good friendship.

"Daddy is waiting for you in the study, I will take you there."

Fu Yinzhao personally led the way. After entering the elevator, he said quietly: "It is basically certain that Station Master Cheng died at the hands of Gao Xiangjiang."

Gao Xiangjiang is naturally Gao Yao. Outside Hong Kong Island, many people already regard Gao Yao as a banner of Hong Kong Island.

Naturally, he is qualified to be called Gao Xiangjiang, just like Li Hefei and Zhou Huaian.

"The young man is really amazing."

Liang Chang didn't say much.

When the elevator reached the top floor and opened, Fu Yinzhao personally took Liang Chang to the study door and knocked on the door: "Dad, Brother Chang is here."

"Enter!"

Fu Yinzhao then said to Liang Chang: "Brother Chang, I won't go in."

Liang Chang nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, young master. I'd like you to lead the way."

With that said, he went directly into the study.

The study room of others must be elegant and full of books.

Fu Laorong's is different. His study is called a study, but it's actually a gun room.

The desks and bookcases are all filled with guns, including ivory-encrusted Brownings, crooked necks, rifles, etc. It can be said that they are all available.

Liang Chang smiled and said: "You stay with the gun every day, brother Rong, I think you can be called the master of guns!"

Fu Laorong had two hobbies in his life, one was making money. It was because of this hobby that he entered the gambling industry and fought with Haoxing Company. Finally, with the help of Nan Tianwang and others, he won the Haojiang gambling license in one fell swoop and has been operating it ever since.

Er is good at shooting, and his marksmanship is notoriously accurate.

Fu Laorong was very proud: "Liu Xing was known as the first shot in Guangfu back then."

"I, Fu Laorong, am not boasting, but I am also the first shot in Baoan!"

Liang Chang smiled and clapped: "How can Liu Xing be compared with Brother Rong? He is just a messenger, how can you be like Brother Rong, you are the head of the rice team in Haojiang."

Fu Laorong waved his hand: "You don't deserve this title."

He pointed to his right ear: "People outside call me Half Ear."

"That's unreasonable!"

Liang Chang had known that Fu Laorong was kidnapped, but he was not in Haojiang at the time and could do nothing. Fortunately, He Xian, Li Quan and others ran around, so Fu Laorong was fine.

He cupped his hands and said, "Brother Rong, don't worry, I will definitely find these lawless bastards!"

Fu Laorong said calmly: "Achang, I still believe in you."

"Come."

Fu Laorong's study room has a large window that is almost floor-to-ceiling, offering a bird's-eye view of the sacred land of Haojiang.

In his sight, he could only see a tide of people walking through the avenue under their feet in an endless stream.

"I, Fu Laorong, made my fortune through gambling."

"Achang, do you know what you get for gambling?"

The development of the gambling industry in Haojiang is thanks to the support of the Democratic Party.

At that time, when King Nan Tian was in charge of Guangdong Province, gambling licenses were widely established. At that time, casinos and food stalls were blooming in Guangfu, Bao'an, Xin'an and other places, and their business was booming. There was no gambling industry in Haojiang at all.

Later, the Democratic Party banned gambling, large casinos closed down one after another, and small casinos became unpopular.

That's why the gambling industry in Haojiang gradually flourished, and Fu Laorong and Gao Kening prospered from this!

Even so, the current gambling industry is just a lucrative business for Haojiang. Unlike later generations, the gambling industry has directly become the pillar industry of Haojiang.

It was also because of this that the soldiers crossing the river ignored Fu Laorong and kidnapped Fu Laorong and his son one after another...

Liang Chang knew this very well. He had long known that there was only one kind of business in the world that was sure to make money without losing money, and that was eating alone!

On the surface, Liang Chang shook his head blankly: "Brother Rong, you know me, Changzi."

Fu Laorong laughed loudly: "Achang, if you are honest, there will be no honest people in the world."

“In the gambling industry, you have to eat alone!”

Fu Laorong shouted loudly. He was over 5 years old, but at this moment, he had the aura of a lion king patrolling his territory.

"That ghost Wang Han thinks that the most important thing in the gambling industry is technology."

Fu Laorong sneered: "Technology is useless, it's just the icing on the cake."

Ghost King Han was once Fu Laorong's number one croupier, and he was famous all over Haojiang. He had a lot of likes and dislikes in his life, and he was born to be a fan of the world.

When he was young, his father was in the porcelain business, so he would put porcelain to his ears to listen to the quality from an early age.

Originally, his father hoped that Gui Wang Han could take over the family mantle, but it turned out that this kid entered the gambling industry by relying on his listening skills that he had learned from listening to porcelain since childhood...

In 1937, Tingfeng defended his position as a member of the Dapo Dice Party and became so popular that he was hailed as the king of gambling by a group of gamblers!

You must know that there is only one gambling king in Haojiang, and that is Fu Laorong!

In the end, a wage earner still wants to compete for the title of gambling king?

That's it?

Later, the proud ghost king Han didn't know what to do, and thought that Taixing's success was all due to him, so he repeatedly offended Fu Laorong.

Fu Laorong found an excuse and let him go to Shanghai to open a casino. In name, he valued Gui Wanghan and wanted him to be a high-ranking official.

Without the support of the Fu family, Ghost King Han did not make any splash in Shanghai, and a generation of gambling kings almost disappeared.

Recently, Fu Laorong was planning to throw this guy to Annan.

Liang Chang smiled and said: "So everyone knows that there is only one gambling king in the land of Liangjiang, and that is Brother Rong!"

Fu Laorong smiled and said: "I'm not boasting either. After Big Head Dog (Lu Jiu), who else could this gambling king be compared to me?"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Fu Laorong then looked outside. The street where Taixing Entertainment is located is the most prosperous street in Haojiang. There are many casinos, brothels, pawn shops and hotels.

There are layers of neon signs.

Fu Laorong's eyes fell on the corner of the long street.

Liang Chang took a look and saw that there were two hotels there, one named Yuebai Express Hotel and the other named Yuebai International.

There is also a signboard next to the hotel named Sihai.

"You have been outside in recent years, so you must not know that there is an incredible winner here in Liangjiang."

"He is very lucky, and even the Feng Shui array can't break his luck."

Liang Chang's expression changed, and then he became solemn.

The gambling industry is a partial one, and those who engage in it all believe in Feng Shui.

As far as Liang Chang knew, there were many unknown secrets in Taixing Casino.

For example, there is a room in the Taixing Building with an altar. Whenever someone loses a huge sum of money at a gambling table, someone will go up and grab some incense ash, secretly sprinkle it on the gambling table, or even put some in the gambler's tea cup. If a customer wins a lot of money on the gambling table, the cleaning lady will be asked to wipe the place where the winner sits with paper like Xiqian (underworld coin). If the customer sits down again, he will lose a lot.

If the number of customers is still high, a public relations officer will be replaced to keep track of the number of customers. If the replacement still fails, the public relations officer will write the customer's name on a small piece of paper, and then ask the lady to bring paper money and candles. Go downstairs and burn paper to worship gods and beat villains in order to win this guest back.

Liang Chang knew that Fu Laorong had several capable Feng Shui masters around him. These people set up Feng Shui formations to help the Fu family make money.

Now that Fu Laorong is talking about it, is there something wrong with the Fu family's feng shui?

As expected, Fu Laorong followed up and said: "Last year there was an explosion outside my city of Taixing."

Liang Chang nodded, Fu Yinzhao had already talked about it in the elevator.

"When I was young, a master told me that the fortune in my life was not flat, but overflowing!"

"That's true."

Fu Laorong said slowly: "Since I have been in the world, wealth has come like water."

"But in recent years, not only has there been less water entering Taixing, but there have also been villains causing trouble."

Liang Chang glanced at Fu Laorong's missing right ear and realized that it was indeed a villain.

"Do you know why?"

Liang Chang shook his head.

"Old Chen gave me a fortune telling and said that a purple star will rise and block my fortune."

Fu Laorong pointed outside. There was a small section of road that was obviously newly built, and the decorations of the houses on both sides were also new.

"Last year, this was the place that was bombed."

"Old Chen said that the fortune has been destroyed."

Liang Chang raised his eyebrows: "I don't know if it's true or false?"

Fu Laorong nodded slightly: "That's the problem."

Cheng Yiming will die because he kidnapped Baifanyu.

By now, this is no secret.

Who killed him?

There is no public comment on this matter yet, but people like Fu Laorong definitely know about it.

"Since then, Gao Xiangjiang has increased his investment in Haojiang, and it has blossomed everywhere. Recently, he also applied to Hao Mansion for reclamation."

Liang Chang said: "The foreigner is really ambitious."

"As long as you have breasts, you are a mother."

Liang Chang asked abruptly: "How is Sir Li Deng?"

Li Deng was the father of Li Wanhua, the grand magistrate of Haojiang, and the only notary. He was deeply involved in the Hao Mansion, and he was also a good friend of old Luo Bao.

With him here, the Li family has no worries in Haojiang, and the Gao family will naturally have no worries in their career here.

There was a complicated look on Fu Laorong's face. He seemed to be sighing, with a hint of vicissitudes in his voice: "Time is the fairest killer."

"Our good friend may not have long left."

Liang Chang suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Li family would contact him at this time.

"Mr. Li Deng has been rich all his life."

Liang Chang knew why Fu Laorong was like this, because he was already over 50, which meant that he had already stepped into the gate of hell.

No matter how heroic Fu Laorong is, he will inevitably feel panic when facing the passing of his life.

"God will bless him."

Fu Laorong nodded slowly: "The doctor judged that God will not be able to protect Li Deng for much longer."

"It can be as short as a few months, or as long as a year or two. In all likelihood, our good friend is going to see God."

"Unless he is Renrui."

Liang Chang shrugged: "The probability is not high."

Fu Laorong then said: "Actually, I am not incapable of accepting others."

"Originally, for Ah Xian's sake, I can tolerate it a little."

"only…"

"Lao Chen went to Hong Kong Island that day to see Gao Xiangjiang's face."

"He said that Gao Xiangjiang was a glutton, swallowing gold and silver."

"When I heard about it, I broke out in a cold sweat."

Ah Xian is He Xian, who is very influential in the green forests around Haojiang.

He seems to be a subordinate of Fu Laorong, Lao Luo Bao and others, but in fact his status is very different.

On the other hand, He Xian was also favored by the Democratic Party. For example, in 46, he was appointed by the Democratic Party government as the executive committee member of the Haojiang Branch of the Hong Kong and Macao General Branch.

This year, 1948, he was directly elected as the national party representative of the Hong Kong and Macao branch of the Chinese Democratic Party and the vice chairman of the Haojiang branch.

He Xian had a very good relationship with Baifanyu, and later this relationship fell on Gao Yao.

Liang Chang nodded slightly: "Brother Xian should figure it out."

It is said that Fu Laorong is powerful in Haojiang, and everyone is convinced by both black and white.

In fact, it was He Xian who really shocked Haojiang. Let me just say that Da Tian Er, who was crossing the border, dared to kidnap Fu Laorong and his son one after another, but he did not dare to bring up the idea of ​​kidnapping He Xian.

"It doesn't matter."

Fu Laorong always appreciated He Xian. He said, "We all have our own moral principles, and we will not embarrass A-Xian when the time comes."

"Achang, if you want to do this beautifully, it's up to you."

As soon as these words came out, it meant that the Fu family had made up their mind.

Liang Chang then expressed his stance: "It is our duty to do so!"

Fu Laorong let out a long sigh: "Actually, I have even met Gao Xiangjiang. You don't know, this young man is like a pearl born among the rubble."

"If he had been born a few years earlier, how would it have been any of our business?"

Liang Chang said hurriedly: "Brother Rong, where do these words come from?"

"Who doesn't know that you suppressed Haoxing with two shots back then?"

"Everyone in Guangdong Province has heard of Brother Rong's reputation."

Fu Laorong has been rooted in the gambling industry for a long time. Before the future of Haojiang, he had already opened a casino called Yousheng Company in Baoan, which was very popular at that time.

Fu Laorong fired two shots at the opening ceremony and broke the two lanterns hanging in front of the door to show his determination.

The Yousheng company prospered and Fu Laorong earned millions of dollars!

This is something Fu Laorong is proud of in his life. The older he gets, the more he likes to listen to people talk about what happened when he was young.

Hearing this, Fu Laorong smiled: "I was young and energetic at that time."

"Achang, Haojiang is only so big, and there is only so much meat on the table."

He said earnestly: "It's nothing more than gold, gambling, smuggling and the like."

"This Gao Xiangjiang has a gluttonous appetite. Once he eats meat on the table, he will not be satisfied. Given time, he will definitely reach into Taixing."

"That's the kind of person he is!"

Fu Laorong is very sure about this!

"Brother Rong, feel at ease."

Liang Chang said without thinking: "The whole world knows that there is only one gambling king in Haojiang, and that is Brother Rong!"

He followed up and said angrily: "I have also heard a bit about this person. I heard that he single-handedly drove the Li family out of Hong Kong Island and killed them all. It is really too much."

"That's not the rule!"

Fu Laorong smiled and praised: "Gao Xiangjiang is called the Emperor of Kowloon."

"Achang, there is still a living emperor on Hong Kong Island. Although he has lost his prestige, everyone in Hutchison remembers him."

"It's time to move this emperor out."

Liang Chang's eyes lit up: "Emperor with a crooked mouth?" (End of this chapter)
