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

Jian Jianqiang came to see Gao Yao, and he also brought someone with him.

This man was about 40 years old, with a thick build and a wealthy face. He looked like a wealthy landlord.

"PhD."

The man introduced himself: "Villain Zhang Rongjin."

Zhang Rongjin from the Wuyi Gang!

The detective in Wan Chai's miscellaneous room!

Of course he didn't come to seek refuge with high officials. People at that time also paid attention to integrity and had always despised the so-called second- and fifth-grade men.

Before the Wuyi Gang bosses expressed their intention to join the Guangfu Workers' Self-Help Association, Zhang Rongjin would never change his family just because of the position of a Chinese detective.

In that case, he would really have money but no life to spend it.

Jian Jianqiang said from the side: "Brother Yao, I am also entrusted by others."

Hong Kong Island is really too small. Unless it is a private plot, any matter can be spread throughout Hong Kong and Kowloon in an instant as long as it comes to the forefront.

Now the whole world knows that Yao Mu will receive the CPM medal, and it also knows that the Criminal Investigation Department is preparing to arrest the security of various districts.

Under such circumstances, it has become inevitable for Huatan to take action.

One sheep is being driven, and two sheep are being driven. In this case, of course each force wants to push its own person to the top.

There is no doubt that Gao Yao is the grandfather who divides the meat.

"Sir Zhang."

Zhang Rongjin was flattered and said hurriedly: "Doctor, just call me Xiao Zhang."

"Xiao Zhang."

Gao Yao had an estranged relationship with the Wuyi Gang, and he single-handedly expelled the Wuyi Gang's leader Li Jia from Hong Kong Island.

If people from the Wuyi Gang had no objections to Mr. Gao, he didn't believe it.

But given the size and strength of the Wuyi Gang, Gao Yao, who had just won over Hehetu, would naturally not be embarrassed.

His worst plan is to prevent everyone in the Wuyi Gang from falling to Gui Lao.

"Since Aqiang brought you here only for his sake, I will also praise you."

Zhang Rongjin glanced at Jian Qiang gratefully. He knew that the doctor wanted him to remember Jian Qiang's kindness.

Then again, how dare I forget the favor of Qilin'er of the Jian family?

This man's connections are all over the legal world, only those of his good friends, such as Hu Baiquan, Tan Yashi, Shi Yuqi, etc.

It's either in the magistrate's court or the tenancy court judge, you can't afford to offend him.

Gao Yao waved his hand: "Get ready to add more burdens."

Zhang Rongjin is a general of the Wuyi Gang. There is no need for Gao to win over him at the moment, nor to show his kindness, nor to waste time on him.

Zhang Rongjin bowed respectfully: "Thank you for the promotion, doctor, and thank you for the grand certificate. I'll go out first."

No one cares about his feelings.

Even if Zhang Rongjin becomes the detective of Hong Kong Island, he is just a playboy compared to Gao Yao and Jian Qiang in the study room.

that is it.

"Aqiang."

Gao Yao had a different attitude towards Jian Qiang. He smiled brightly and said, "You have been making big moves recently."

"Brother Yao, it's all your guidance."

Jian Jianqiang is the one who the Jian family plans to enter the political arena. Since this year, he has actively participated in politics, including the formation of a political party that he told Gao Yao before.

World War II broke the old shackles, especially with the two great empires of the United States and the Soviet Union fueling the fire, and national consciousness awakened around the world.

Therefore, the formation of the Reform Association will not stop because of Gao Yao's wishes.

Jian Qiang looks a little excited.

Democracy is the current trend. With his efforts and efforts by Benachi and others, the legal and accounting circles have

, business circles and other elites enthusiastically joined.

There are many foreigners of other nationalities, such as Indians, Portuguese, etc.

Since the British rule in Hong Kong focuses on British interests, foreigners of other nationalities naturally have the need to safeguard their interests.

According to their plan, they will register as a limited company in accordance with Section 39 of the Hong Kong Island Companies Ordinance, so as to avoid the restrictions of the Hong Kong government.

"Brother Yao, we will aim to increase government representation and improve public services."

"well."

As soon as Gao Yao heard this, he understood that the Reform Association would still commit the old problems of elite politics, and no grassroots members had joined it.

He then thought about it, if the Reform Association could broadly unite all walks of life, let alone the Hong Kong government, neither could he.

He then said with a smile: "Today's democratic awakening is the mainstream, and the existence of the Reform Association is of great significance."

"Do it well and I will fully support you."

Jian Jian spoke in a relaxed tone, and when Brother Yao expressed his stance, he had much less worries about doing things.

"Thank you, Brother Yao. I will definitely live up to your expectations."

"The most important thing is not to let down the millions of people on Hong Kong Island."

Gao Yao sighed: "Without the support of our neighbors, where would we be today?"

He skipped the topic and then asked for advice: "Aqiang, Nanyang is practicing Taitism again and is targeting the Chinese people."

"I plan to prosecute related matters, what do you think?"

Jian Jianqiang was shocked: "Siam?"

Before World War II, Siam joined the Axis camp under the leadership of Luang Phibun and began to target the Chinese people.

How long has it been? Why did it start again?

Jian Jianqiang was both surprised and worried. What he did was really unexpected, and he actually wanted to sue in his own name?

Gao Yao nodded: "They have ordered the closure of Nanyang schools and newspapers again, and forcibly confiscated the assets of the Chinese people and transferred them to the natives."

"It's about May."

"It's really a robbery."

Jian Jianqiang said angrily, and then he said: "Brother Yao, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult, and there is no hope."

"The International Court of Justice does not accept complaints from individuals against states."

"The Arbitration Court in The Hague still accepts this."

After all, Jian Jianqiang is a big deal, and he understands this clearly. He said frankly: "Even if The Hague accepts it, this matter will not be resolved in a short time."

"It's possible that it will take several years. Even if there are results, I'm afraid..."

He smiled bitterly: "It may not be useful."

"nature."

Gao Yao was not crazy, he had known this for a long time, but he had his own idea in mind, and then asked: "Is it feasible if the compatriots who fled back to Hong Kong Island sue the Privy Council in London?"

The Privy Council is a judicial body of the United Kingdom and one of its courts of final appeal. It is also the court of final appeal for the British Overseas Territories, Crown Dependencies and some independent Commonwealth countries.

However, the Privy Council to which the Commonwealth region appeals actually refers to "His Majesty the King in Council", and the King will then seek advice from the Judicial Committee.

The general process is for appeals to be referred to the Judicial Committee.

Before the handover, the Privy Council had always been the highest court on Hong Kong Island!

Upon hearing this, Jian Jianqiang knew that Gao Yao was determined, and he immediately said: "You can give it a try."

"it is good."

Gao Yao said: "Since foreigners do not engage in human rights and promote democracy." "I want to see if the Chinese are human beings?"

It's a bit strange to be simple and strong-minded. Countries have been anti-Chinese for a long time. Why do you want me to make such a big deal at this time?

Do you want to do this useless work again?

Of course he doesn't understand.

As mentioned before, before Gao Yao came out, the Chaozhou Gang did not have much momentum in Hong Kong Island. This was not because the Chaozhou Gang was LOW.

It's because the main force of the Chaozhou Gang is in Siam!

Let’s talk about politics first. Emperor Taksin the Great (the founder of the Thonburi Dynasty in Siam), Luang Phibun, Piri Phanomrong and other ancestors were all from Chaozhou!

Let’s talk about business, let’s not talk about it from afar, let’s just talk about Chen Bichen, one of the representative figures during World War II!

The founder of Pangu Bank, the tycoon behind the Chinese tycoons, he was born in Chaozhou!

Later the richest man in Siam, Xie Guomin, hey, he was also from Chaozhou!

And the second brother Feng (the gambling king of Siam), who was named the messenger of luck by the people in Siam afterwards, was also from Chaozhou!

There are currently over 300 million Chinese in Siam. Not to mention too many, at least 200 million are from Chaozhou!

These people took control of Siam's rice milling industry (Siam was an agricultural country at the time) and dominated Siam's construction, industrial manufacturing, publishing, shipping, finance, commerce and other large and small industries.

The status is very important.

After all the troubles, it was Chaozhou people who were being punished, so as the president of the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce, Gao was right when he said that Luan was a young man. .

This is a God-given opportunity for high-ranking officials who want to exert influence in Southeast Asia!

How can the icing on the cake be as reliable as providing help in times of need?

Gao Yao was afraid that Jian Qiang would not understand, so he said: "It's a big show."

"Sun will always cooperate with you."

After saying this, Jian Jianqiang was immediately relieved. Yes, it turned out that Brother Yao had ulterior motives. He understood immediately.

Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, let me put on a good show for you."

Gao Yao laughed loudly: "Aqiang, you are a good actor, you are so strong and strong."

"Come on, let's go out and drink."

After all, Gao Yao was the master, and he couldn't stay in the study all the time, so he smiled and took Jian Qiang out, which naturally involved drinking and drinking.

Just changing the scene, Gao Yao found that many people had arrived, such as Chen Rixin, Zhang Renlong and other young talents from the New Territories.

Also included are Li Guowei, He Tian, ​​He Shanheng, Liu Baoshan, Situ Zhiren, Tan Yashi, etc.

It was really lively when all the talented people gathered together.

Gao Yao first shook hands with Li Guowei and others. He looked at He Tian and He Shanheng. What a big deal these two are. They are the leaders of the banking industry in Hong Kong Island.

However, it is now under the name of someone higher than him.

That's right!

Gaosheng Bank has officially obtained controlling stake in Hang Seng Bank, and the next step is to upgrade Hang Seng from a bank to a bank.

"I'm glad you're joining Gao Sheng."

Gao Yao said warmly: "I heard it was a little unpleasant?"

He Tian hurriedly said: "Doctor, we have taken care of the shares and there will be no more disputes."

Hang Seng's largest shareholder is Lin Bingyan, followed by He Tian, ​​Sheng Chunlin, Liang Zhiwei, Liang Chang and others.

Among them, Lin Bingyan was bedridden and could not express his opinions. The only ones who had opinions were Liang Zhiwei, Liang Chang and others.

Gao Yao smiled and said: "Seek common ground while reserving differences. In the process of development, it is inevitable that there will be different opinions."

"As long as the outcome is good."

At present, Hang Seng Bank is just a small bank. It is already good that Gao Yao can perform like this. He said to several people: "Mr. Li, many good friends are here today."

"Take everyone around."

Gao Yao then smiled at Liao Baoshan and said, "Old Liao, I heard that you are walking on two legs recently and are very prosperous."

"congratulations."

Liao Baoshan is indeed a talent. She was unknown before middle age, and could even be said to be penniless.

Suddenly, he seemed to have an idea. He killed everyone in the gold and silver trading field, and then founded the Liu Chong Hing Savings Bank.

In the current Hong Kong Island, he is also the number one figure.

It actually took him less than 3 years to achieve this achievement!

"President."

Liao Baoshan was so happy that he couldn't help but feel proud of himself recently.

On the one hand, in the gold and silver trading field, he was still killing everyone.

On the other hand, in terms of real estate, Liao Baoshan used bank savings to acquire warehouses and former power plant land in Western District. She has begun to be regarded as the king of Western District.

"Sprinkle some water."

If you have money in your pocket, it will be easier for you to speak.

Liao Baoshan smiled and said: "It's because of the president's banner that I can follow behind and drink some soup."

"If you drink soup, what will the neighbors think?"

Gao Yao smiled and patted Liao Baoshan on the shoulder: "Old Liao, we Chaozhou people love to fight and be adventurous, so we don't want to be overly modest in this regard."

"A Tong told me that you are now the leader of the gold and silver trading field."

Originally, Chow Tai Fook was not in the business of speculating on gold.

It's been different since Li Zhaoji joined. This guy is too professional with Yu Huang, and Gao Yao also has a hand in gold smuggling in Haojiang.

Of course, Shark Dantong had no reason to let go of this piece of fat, so that Li Zhaoji could lead the team into the gold and silver trading market.

The profits are quite huge, much higher than those at Chow Tai Fook counters!

"You can eat as much as you want, and you can eat as much as you want."

Liao Baoshan then told the news worriedly: "President, have you heard about it?"

“The Chief Secretary’s Office is preparing to introduce the Prohibition on Gold Trading Act. What will be done then?”

The public demand for gold exchange is really too hot. It can be seen with the naked eye that the demand will become more and more intense. Therefore, in the current Hong Kong Island and Haojiang, gold speculation is the first profit.

The problem is that a considerable part of this profit exists in the black market, from which the government cannot collect direct tax sources.

That is definitely unacceptable!

It is also because of this that McDougall began to assist the East in combating smuggling this year.

The newly introduced customs regulations this year require that small cargo ships must load and unload cargo at designated locations and must pass customs inspection;

At the same time, the mainland customs is given the right to patrol Dapeng Bay and Deep Bay. All goods shipped to the mainland must pass mainland customs inspection.

Ultimately, it's all about collecting money.

Theoretically speaking, Gao Yao supports this action of the Hong Kong government. The operation of a city requires many aspects, and money is indispensable among them.

If the government cannot collect taxes, it will have to raise money from other sources. This is the same as the police force coming to collect taxes.

Gao Yao asked calmly: "What do you mean?"

Liao Baoshan said hurriedly: "President, please don't play tricks on me. I, Mr. Liao, follow the orders in all my actions."

This old fritter!

Gao Yao laughed and said: "It's just a rumor now, we'll talk about it later."

The more opposed it is, the more profitable it is.

Capitalism is practiced on Hong Kong Island, but what is capital? You can trample all laws for 100% profit!

Therefore, Gao Yao does not care about the introduction of this law. The more prohibited it is, the more prosperous the black market will be and the higher the profits will be.

He believed that Liao Baoshan's worries were groundless.

Gao Yao was instead concerned about another thing. He asked: "Old Liao, I heard that more and more people from Shanghai are visiting the gold and silver trading market recently?"

"Is this possible?" (End of chapter)
