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

People coming to Hong Kong from Shanghai can be divided into two groups.

Yibo is a Cantonese who originally went to Shanghai to do business. Now our army has conquered more and more miles in the Northeast, and the situation is very good.

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not build a dangerous wall, so these Cantonese people thought of sending their family members to Hong Kong to buy property as a retreat.

The other wave was other people doing business in Shanghai. These people were mainly from the Yong Gang. At that time, they almost controlled the financial industry and textile industry of Shili Foreign Market.

As far as money figures are concerned, these tycoons in Hong Kong will definitely be beaten.

"These rice sausages."

Liao Baoshan couldn't help but curse: "President, there are indeed a lot more Shanghainese coming to Hong Kong recently."

Gao Yao nodded slightly. The Shanghai guys were originally engaged in industry, such as textiles and flour.

It was Shanghai guys like this who carried the industrial banner of the Republic of China.

At their peak, these gangs of Shanghainese claimed that they could earn one Yuanbao from a piece of cotton yarn!

Normally, their good days will continue.

However, I can't stand the amazing assists from my teammates.

Chang Kaishen is a man of heroic nature, and is famous for his reputation for not admitting his mistakes. Capital is like a urinal in his eyes. He uses it when he needs it, and he concocts various means when it is not needed.

In 1946, Chang Kaishen did a big thing, which directly caused people across the country to become "billionaires" in a very short time!

Sino-US business treaty!

After the treaty was signed, a large number of daily necessities from the United States entered the mainland, and the first stop was Shanghai Beach!

For example, "foreign rice", "foreign noodles", "foreign paper", "foreign alkali/foreign seeds" (soap), "foreign cloth" (woven cloth), "foreign candle", "foreign wax" (candle), "match" (match), "yangpa" (towel), "foreign socks", "foreign oil" (kerosene, engine oil, lubricating oil and gasoline and diesel), "yangyan" (cigarettes), "yangnail" (iron nails) ), "cement" (cement), "yangbi" (pen), "foreign umbrella", "foreign spade", "foreign mirror" and so on!

Just like the Mexican songs that were dumped by American goods in later generations, these American goods were not only of good quality, but also cheap. With a stick, these industrial bigwigs in Shanghai were stunned!

In the first year of dumping, 2590 private factories were closed in Shanghai, and the rate of closure was as high as 76%! The number of unemployed people is as high as 30!

If it’s hard to do business, then go into finance.

The problem is, finance is not easy either.

The series of outrageous operations carried out by Song Guojiu not only failed to stop inflation, but also promoted it in the opposite direction. The authorities lost a large amount of foreign exchange, precious metals, and state-owned assets, and the currency depreciated wildly. Under such circumstances, they were still doing nothing in finance.

Therefore, this gang of Shanghainese began to look for a way out, and their search led them to Hong Kong Island.

At that time, Hong Kong Island was not even comparable to Guangfu. In the eyes of Shanghainese people, they were really country people. They came to Hong Kong Island with a lot of money and bought cars, properties and investments, showing off like a dragon crossing the river!

Liao Baoshan added: “I don’t know how high the sky is and how high it is!”

Gao Yao laughed loudly when he heard this. He patted Liao Baoshan on the shoulder: "Old Liao, it seems that you are the captain of the death squad that kills seamen."

Since the Shanghainese came to Hong Kong Island, they definitely wanted to make money. It was too slow to start industry, and the conditions on Hong Kong Island were too primitive. Naturally, these people would not start industry so quickly.

It’s about wearing casual clothes to speculate in stocks and the market (speculating on gold).

At present, the stock market in Hong Kong Island is mainly played by ghost guys. This circle is not only closed and exclusive, but also famous for cheating the Chinese.

For example, the reason why He Xin went to Haojiang was because his father was cheated and bankrupted by his boss.

After being cheated several times, and because the stock market in Hong Kong Island was not big at that time, these people turned their heads and plunged into the gold and silver trading market.

Once you enter the trade market, you will naturally face Liao Baoshan, who is currently in the limelight.

Liao Baoshan grinned: "These city people look down on us country boys and always want them to know how to write the word "mang"."

Gao Yao smiled slightly. Lao Liao looked vulgar, but in fact he was very thoughtful. Anyone who underestimated him would be in serious trouble.

"The Shanghai guy is a dragon who has crossed the river and has a very good relationship with foreign companies."

Gao Yao warned: "You still have to be careful."

The headquarters of Hong Kong foreign banks are basically in Shanghai, so it is inevitable for them to deal with Shanghai tycoons.

Otherwise, when these gangs of Shanghainese decided to base themselves on Hong Kong Island, how could the Hong Kong government cooperate with them to win the largest textile export trade volume in the Commonwealth?

From this point of view, these Shanghai guys have played a considerable role in promoting the industrial development of Hong Kong Island.

"clear."

Liao Baoshan patted her chest: "President, don't worry, I, Lao Liao, know what's going on."

"Let's go and meet everyone."

The bustling curtain call came, and except for Gao Jin, Gao Bin, Lei Guantai and others who stayed, everyone else said goodbye and left.

"too fast."

Lei Guantai, whose face was glowing with emotion, said with emotion: "Brother Yao, I remember this time last year we were mainly blowing water."

Gao Yao said: "This is called Eastern Speed."

"But you can't do that in bed."

Several people laughed.

Lei Guantai's face turned red, and he asked with sullen eyebrows, "Did I really find it for me?"

"found."

Gao Bin winked and said, "You'll have better luck later."

"okay."

Gao Yao sent Gao Jin and Gao Bin away, and then he said to Lei Guantai: "Tai Zai, you have worked hard tonight."

"We'll talk tomorrow."

"No rush, no rush."

As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books. Lei Guantai was not in a hurry at all. He said to Gao Yao: "Brother Yao, I think there are great opportunities outside."

World War II was equivalent to interrupting the original order, scattering resources, and rebuilding the world.

That’s an explosion of demand from billions of people. How could there be no opportunity?

At this time, no matter where you are, as long as you dare to give it a try, there will be no underdevelopment.

It's nothing more than the difference between small money and big money.

Lei Guantai mainly went to two places, one was the United States and the other was Japan.

The United States was the largest producer of goods at that time, and the world was rich.

One is Dongyang, which was the only country in Asia to join the great powers before.

Although it has been beaten to ashes now, there are still three pounds of nails in the rotten ship, so the foundation is still there.

Gao Yao knew that Lei Guantai had always been unconventional, so he smiled and asked, "What do you have in mind?"

"Turn it into use."

Lei Guantai is worthy of being a top student. He always believes that talent is the most important thing: "Brother Yao, I thought I could hire Carrot Tou to come to Hong Kong."

It's not easy to say this.

Lei Guantai almost exhausted all his strength, and even did not dare to look up at Gao Yao.

"Clap clap."

Gao Yao applauded, and he said very simply, just one word: "Okay."

Lei Guantai suddenly raised his head: "Brother Yao, there is no criticism."

Gao Yao smiled slightly: "If I care about other people's eyes, how can I get my current status?"

“Everything should be done based on development.”

Everything has two sides.

Just like Okamura Neiji, this person received the care of Chang Kaishen after the war. He used his illness to avoid trial. On March 3 this year, he received permission from Chang Kaishen to transfer to Shanghai for recuperation and was arranged to live in a very quiet house. The Wang's residence was strictly protected by plainclothes military police dispatched by the Songhu Security Department.

What Gao Yao knew even more was that as the war intensified, this person would soon be appointed as an adviser by Chang Kaishen!

Another example is Marshall who went to China to mediate the civil war. The first thing he did when he came to China was to ask Chang Kaishen to thoroughly understand the Eastern forces in the East.

Hate?

No, no, no.

Why didn't Marshall say that to his loving father? You must know that your loving father directly detained 50 Japanese troops and 200 million German troops to work in Tsarist Russia to atone for their sins. Normally speaking, it is appropriate for Dongfang to leave these carrot heads as atonement.

At that time, these carrot heads really wanted to stay in the East because their future was uncertain.

As a result, Marshall must repatriate all Japanese troops and Japanese overseas Chinese, a total of more than 300 million people.

Why?

A considerable number of these little devils who came to the East have received education above high school and are engineers, and they understand Eastern culture.

If these people stay...

At that time, Marshall said that if these people stay, the East will become rapidly stronger within 15-20 years with the help of these little devils, and resume the path of East Asia's rise.

It's not impossible!

For the East, which had an illiteracy rate of 80% at that time, 300 million carrot heads who had received nine years of compulsory education could indeed play a big role.

Unfortunately, due to Baipi's pressure, this road was cut off.

And it is very easy to teach people the truth.

This is the reason why Lei Guantai speaks hesitantly.

Gao followed Xu and pointed outside: "Guantai, this is Hong Kong Island, a free city."

"Look outside, everyone in the hall is full of jackals and hyenas, and there are many traitors."

Gao Yao's greatest confidence was that he dared to flip the table with anyone. He said to Lei Guantai: "Go ahead and do it boldly. It's all up to me."

"Whoever dares to gossip, I will settle the score with them."

As mentioned earlier, many of the existing tycoons and foreigners on Hong Kong Island were lackeys during the Japanese occupation.

After the war, the Hong Kong government's judgment was held high and dropped gently.

Why is Gao Yao so afraid?

Hong Kong Island currently has one thing in common with the East: there are too many illiterates and a lack of real engineers...

Lei Guantai was relieved: "Brother Yao, you are really our banner."

Gao Yao laughed: "It seems you already have an idea?"

Lei Guantai naturally had an idea, and he said: "Brother Yao, the Allied forces in Japan stipulated that all factories should be dissolved and the workers should have a holiday."

"There are hungry engineers everywhere, right?"

Lei Guantai cursed, and then said: "But these people can't waste it."

Gao Yao nodded. During the war, the Japs had been able to independently manufacture aircraft carriers, submarines and other heavy industries. This was why they were able to get the Allies to relent after the war, rebuild the industrial system in a very short period of time, and become the largest shipbuilding country.

At that time, seven out of ten ships on the sea were from the East. It was only after the 90s that Bangzi caught up...

At that time, Toyo did not focus on ships.

"speak."

Lei Guantai said: "I contacted a group of engineers from Kawasaki Heavy Industries."

"and many more."

Gao Yao was confused, and he quickly asked: "Kawasaki Heavy Industries?"

"Yes."

Lei Guantai was at a loss: "Yes, Kawasaki Heavy Industries."

"Brother Yao, have you heard of it?"

Of course Gao Yao had heard of it.

Kawasaki Heavy Industries started during the Meiji Restoration and was established in 1878 with the help of the Ministry of Finance.

It has always been one of the most important heavy industrial enterprises in Japan. In 1906, it delivered the first domestic submarine to Japan and built the first domestic steam locomotive that year.

During World War II, the company also provided military equipment such as Jebi fighter jets, Type-5 fighter jets, and Type-1 transport aircraft to Japan, and built the famous Haruna battleship and Kaga aircraft carrier.

However, it was also for this reason that it was targeted by the Allies early on and was immediately ordered to disband.

Gao Yao laughed. He had been thinking about a problem for a long time. Singapore, whose location and environment are very similar to Hong Kong Island, can develop high-tech industries.

Why has Hong Kong Island, which is backed by the giant mainland, turned into a city of real estate and finance?

When it comes to its industrial start, Hong Kong Island was pretty good at that time. Its textile, garment, toy, and watch industries once accounted for a considerable amount of world trade.

Gao Yao thought that this was probably because there was no leader, and he was willing to be the leader!

"Tai Zai."

Gao Yao patted Lei Guantai on the shoulder: "If you do this well, you will have made a great contribution."

At that time, Japan was short of everything, even food needed resources from the Allies, and its country was hungry for foreign exchange.

Women have joined the army, while men have gone abroad to work, just like sticks.

At this time, it is not difficult to hire Carrot Tou to do things.

Gao Yao remembered that the British Commonwealth occupation force seemed to have also been stationed in Dongyang. It was mainly stationed in the western region of Dongyang. Its headquarters was in Kure City and its commander was Lieutenant General Horace Robertson.

These occupying forces are mainly responsible for various affairs in Japan other than military matters, including the disposal of Japan's military industry.

Thinking of this, Gao Yao happily clapped his hands: "It's true that when times come, the world and the earth work together."

He said to Lei Guantai, who had straight eyes: "Tai Zai, I think you need to meet Sister Bin in advance."

It's lucky to say that Gao Yao paved the way for Shui Mei because of Gao Bin's sake.

This water girl lived up to his high expectations and had an excellent relationship with the garrison on Hong Kong Island.

According to Gao Bin, Shuimei has already taken over the military uniform business of the Pacific Allied Forces and the Eastern Allied Forces.

In other words, through Shuimei you can get in touch with the powerful officers of the Allied Forces stationed in Japan!

Gao wanted this man to have a big appetite, so he waved his hand: "If you want to do it, then do it bigger."

"Move the production line over here."

"It's the scrap price anyway."

This is indeed true. At that time, in Japan, except for some civilian industries, military industrial enterprises were the key targets of the Allied forces, and they were all ordered to stop production and dismemberment.

The dismantled production lines are indeed sold as scrap metal.

For example, there was a very prosperous business at that time, which was to first transport specialty products such as pork chops, soybeans, and tung oil from the mainland to Hong Kong Island for sale (United was doing this), and then transport grain from Nanyang to Hong Kong Island. Ship it to the East, and then sell the steel dismantled from the East to the East.

Hey, it's just such a cycle. Not to mention more, there are definitely hundreds of thousands.

Later generations of Hong Kong Island's Cao Chuanwang and Zhao Chuanwang started their fortunes with this hand, and then made a fortune during the Korean War and became extremely rich!

Since steel is a waste product, of course the production line is also a waste product.

Gao Yao then said a little ashamed: "Tai Zai."

Since he is going to do this, Lei Guantai must go to Dongyang again.

Gao Yao was a bit unable to explain to his third aunt, Yanni and others.

Lei Guantai immediately said: "Brother Yao, there is no need to talk like this."

"Start a family and start a career."

"Now that I have a family, I naturally want to start a career."

Gao Yao nodded solemnly without being pretentious: "Time waits for no one."

The BUG can only be stuck for such a period of time. When the Allies finally let go, these Toyo production lines will be reinstalled immediately.

He is competing for time! (End of chapter)
