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

Everyone's mouth is golden!

The lesson that history has taught Gao Yao is that he must have his own channel for speaking out.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party often represented the people of the world. Why? Isn’t it because they control the channels for speaking out?

That’s why he was able to confuse right and wrong, label a deer as a horse, and Qian Qianyi, who even shouted that the water was too cold, was later cleared. You can imagine the importance of public opinion.

There were shadows outside the grand hall, and dozens or hundreds of people raised their arms and cried, their voices shaking the sky!

Zhang Yujie's face was livid: "Yao Mu, you only know how to play this kind of thing?"

His heart sank!

Yao Mu is definitely not capable of such a delicate job. Looking at all of Hong Kong and Kowloon, there is only one person who is best at manipulating people's hearts - Dr. Gao!

Back then, the Li family, one of the four major families, was driven away in this way.

The kind that was completely driven away!

Zhang Yujie heard that all the Li family's assets in Hong Kong Island were divided between Gao Yao, Zhou Xinian, and Jian Dongpu.

Therefore, there is a popular saying in Hong Kong: if one family falls, three families will be full!

Now, Dr. Gao is targeting him again?

Why? ? ?

Yao Mu smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, you are a smart person."

He pointed outside: "You have two choices."

"I'll let you go now."

Yao Mu smiled grimly: "I guarantee, these people outside will beat you to death in front of the Grand Hall."

No one dares to cause trouble in front of Tai Guan, but since Yao Mu has spoken, it means it must be true.

Zhang Yujie was heartbroken for no reason, how did the Li family fall?

It was Optimus Yuzhu Li Minze who was killed first, and there was no one in charge, so Gao took the opportunity to push him down.

Do you want to go back to the road of benefiting your family?

"The second way..."

Yao Mu said lightly: "I have put so much effort into arresting so many people, but if no one gives me an explanation, where will my face be?"

Zhang Yujie said with a calm face: "You want to sow discord."

Yao Mu laughed and said to Xuan Hong beside him: "3 minutes."

"If Mr. Zhang is still like this, just let him go."

Where does it take 3 minutes?

Zhang Yujie was a man who came here during the war years. Looking at the ferocious-looking poor ghosts at the door, he knew in his heart that as long as Yao Mu left, these people would tear him into pieces.

These illiterate poor ghosts are pitiful and hateful. Once provoked, they are real wolves, tigers and leopards.

"I choose the second option."

The other party has already figured it out, so Zhang Yujie can only protect himself first.

"He who knows the current affairs is a hero."

Yao Mu patted Zhang Yujie on the shoulder: "What a smart man, so smart."

Zhang Yujie shuddered. It was only now that he suddenly realized that Yao Mu was really unfathomable.

"Boss."

Zhang Yujie said: "You are eating royal food, why bother?"

"Don't you know that one more friend means one more path?"

Yao Mu laughed: "Having too many friends is not a good thing."

"please!"

At midnight, a group of people walked out of the Grand Hall in disgrace, led by Zhang Yujie.

He was once very high-spirited, but now he seems extremely depressed.

When the whole family is like this, the faces of other Zhang family members are naturally even uglier.

"Keep your head up!"

The old lady Zhang Guogeng shouted: "We in the Zhang family never lose when we lose. A setback is nothing special."

"That's what Auntie said."

Zhang Yujie cheered up: "We just lost the pharmaceutical industry, other industries are still there."

"As long as we work together, Hong Kong Island still has a piece of our future."

Everyone felt sad, and Zhang Yuliang, the youngest among them, couldn't help but said: "But we have offended Dr. Gao."

The cold wind blew, and a group of people shivered.

Especially Zhang Yujie, the business war he imagined was not like this.

When he led the Western Medicine Association, he controlled the wholesale volume through the European Coast Company, thereby forcing drug dealers to withdraw voluntarily.

How does it look like Gaoyao?

He just borrowed Liang Chang and used public power to force him to withdraw.

Snapped!

Zhang Guogeng slapped Zhang Yuliang on the face: "My family spent so much money to send you to school."

"Have you read all etiquette, justice and integrity into the dog's belly?"

"Your elder brother did nothing wrong!"

"mom!"

A group of people rushed to protect Zhang Yuliang, the youngest of the Zhang family and the one Zhang Guogeng loved the most.

"Yu Liang did it unintentionally."

Zhang Yujie said gently: "Mom, don't be angry."

"My youngest, we have made a lot of money from doing Western medicine in the past few years, so it is inevitable that we will become mentally ill."

"It's normal to be caught with sore feet. This is where we act carelessly."

"Just take it as a lesson."

"Mom is right. As long as our Zhang family is united, we will definitely succeed."

Didi, a Ford stopped in front of Zhang's family. John, the co-pilot, looked over and waved happily: "Hi, dear Zhang, I have found a lawyer."

"Let's transfer the ownership tonight."

The faces of the Zhang family all turned dark, and several women among them muttered: "Foreign traitor!"

Since Gao Yao took action, he would naturally not show mercy.

Under Yao Mu's moral persuasion and kind advice, the Zhang family will fully transfer their overseas drug agency holdings such as European Coast Company, Zhu Xingxing and other related companies.

However, other industries such as Zhang Jinji are still left to them.

In addition, Zhang Yujie will personally appear in court to accuse some unscrupulous profiteers in the former Western Medicine Association of passing off quality products and other bad behaviors.

If this happens, the Zhang family will definitely not be able to gain a foothold in the Western medicine world.

Zhang Yujie said to his wife: "Suyi, you go home with mom and the others first, and I'll come back as soon as I go."

After saying that, Zhang Yujie quickly walked towards John: "Mr. John, I'm ready."

"Congratulations, you will soon be the big shot in charge of Hong Kong, Kowloon and Western Medicine."

"Hahaha."

Zhang Yujie was sarcastic, but John was very happy to hear it. He was a ghost and wouldn't think too much. Anyway, the benefits he got were the most real.

John rubbed his hands: "I can't wait."

Zhang Yujie secretly resented that Gao Yao, the thief, was both a bitch and a memorial arch.

He was obviously the one who wanted to take advantage of the profits of his own pharmaceutical business, but in the end he pushed a ghost guy to act as a front man.

He then thought again, this was a good move.

If the person in charge of the European Coast Company at that time was a ghost, would he have another choice?

"Sure, sure, please."

You definitely can't get all the contracts done in one night. It's just a matter of signing the agreement of intent first and taking your time later.

The night is long.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Zhang Yujie was still signing a contract with John, and the news that Zhangjia Pharmaceutical was transferred as an agent to Four Seas has spread throughout Hong Kong and Kowloon.

"Shit, John, this traitor, really embarrasses us."

"Luckily he's an American redneck."

What Keswick cares about is not that Zhang's pharmaceutical agent was swallowed up. For the huge Jardine, how much does a pharmaceutical agent cost?

What he cared about was that Gao was acting so domineeringly.

If things continue like this, it won't be long before they are very likely to attack foreign companies again. It has been nearly a hundred years since the port was opened, and this fucking guy dares to attack foreign companies. It is simply lawless!

"So does McIntosh, a weakling."

This time Shi Huaiya couldn't stand it anymore: "It's simply unreasonable to allow the Criminal Investigation Department to cooperate with Dr. Gao!"

There is only one reason why Keswick and Schweizer expressed their opinions like this!

Kadoorie simply revealed: "I heard that a group of people have recently purchased the outstanding shares of Huangpu Shipyard in the market."

"The ladies of the Gao family have recently been going in and out of the companies that have stocks in Huangpu Shipyard."

"I heard that the Public Works Department has sent people to survey the coast in Hung Hom to prepare for reclamation."

"The intention is clear."

Kadoorie said: "Everyone, in this situation, don't hide it."

CLP is very powerful, Lane Crawford is even more powerful, but compared with Whampoa Dockyard, these two are younger brothers.

At that time, several shipowners such as Jardine Matheson & Co., Iron & Steel Co., Ltd., and Deglis & Co. jointly founded Whampoa Dockyard. Thomas Sutherland, a Hong Kong-based supervisor of Iron & Steel Co., Ltd. who later became the general manager of HSBC Bank, served as chairman. .

As soon as he debuted, he used his strong financial resources to acquire the Cobai Dockyard and Repair Shop in Huangpu, Guangfu, and obtained the right to repair public ships designated by the Hong Kong government.

They start out as soldiers, but at Huangpu Dockyard they start out as generals!

It has been nearly a hundred years since its establishment in 1863. Whampoa Dockyard has always been ranked among the top ten on Hong Kong Island!

It turns out that someone here wants to acquire Huangpu Shipyard?

Keswick said with a gloomy face: "Old Jardine has been fed ecstasy soup, and the stocks in his hands have been defrauded by Mr. Gao."

Gao Yao is very particular about what he does. If others love money, he will give it to them.

If she is lustful, he will give her a beautiful woman.

If it has a good name, then invite it.

This is called Gao's three-piece set!

Oh, no, it’s the Gao family’s three axes!

The old Jardine had no children and was unwilling to let Keswick take away the Jardine family's shares, so he set up a charity fund at Gao Yao's suggestion.

The main purpose is to leave a posthumous name.

After understanding Jardine's high profile, he just agreed to donate a library to him at the University of Hong Kong, so he easily and skillfully obtained his shares.

As for Ruttonji, not to mention, He Dong? Talk about money!

Keswick was quite anxious, something was very wrong. On the one hand, this high-ranking official was waging war with the Chinese, and on the other hand, he was plotting to become a foreigner.

A war started on two fronts. What on earth was he thinking?

"The stocks held by those few companies add up to 10%."

"more than."

Peers know their peers best. Taikoo Dockyard is Whampoa Dockyard's biggest competitor in Hong Kong and Kowloon. At its peak, both sides had between four and five thousand workers.

Each boat built is better than the other.

"The shares held by He Dong alone will not be less than 5%."

He Dong is famous for his ability to grasp money, and his shadow is behind all the companies that make money.

Since Huangpu Shipyard is so prosperous, he will naturally buy more.

"It looks like he'll be putting someone on the board soon."

Katherine made a face: "Telephone, electricity, shipyard, department store."

"If this continues, he will only be missing a franchise license."

On the surface, the Hong Kong government has canceled the franchise license. In fact, it also stipulated that the original license can continue to be used.

This is the biggest capital in the hands of foreign banks!

"The Li family called and hoped to cooperate."

A group of people looked at each other, and it was a little difficult to make up their minds.

The trend of Gao Mou has been established. Anyone who faces such a behemoth will have a feeling of palpitations.

Even Taipan Keswick in Jardine is no exception.

"If we want to do it, we must succeed in one battle."

Kadoorie, who always wanted to take back the control of CLP, knew very well how terrifying this opponent was. He said to everyone: "Otherwise, I will serve as a warning to others."

"The Li family does not have this strength."

On Hong Kong Island, the Lee family had a favorable location and the support of foreign companies, but in the end they were driven away by Gao with lightning speed.

A lost dog has no geographical advantage and no one to make peace with. Keswick and others, who have been fighting against the Chinese tycoons, feel like they are in the clear mind.

"Although Fu Laorong from Haojiang is sharp, he is still in Haojiang after all."

"Gao Kening is lying dead again."

They have a very clear view. If they really want to get rid of Mr. Gao, they must find a big flag in Hong Kong and Kowloon.

The question is, who is qualified to resist this flag?

The most troublesome problem is here. The older generation of Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong are either too old and weak, or they were forced to retire due to the two-China association.

And among the younger generation, who can compete with Gao?

They looked at each other and fell into silence.

Among the Chinese who have recently visited Hong Kong, many are from Shanghai, and many of them are wealthy people.

The question is, is it possible for these outsiders to fight against Dr. Gao?

End on your own?

"The trouble should end it."

Kadoorie said: "The Chinese like to divide groups according to geography."

In fact, the ghost guy is also...

"Gao Yao first benefited the family, and now he wants to take advantage of the newly famous Zhang family. It's so ugly."

"I think people in Wuyi must be unhappy with it."

Everyone thought thoughtfully: "This statement makes sense."

"It's just that these people habitually hide behind the scenes."

Keswick sneered: "At best, it's cunning, but in fact, it's just timid."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked a little embarrassed. Wasn't this what everyone was talking about?

However, Keswick had the strongest strength on the field, so they could only nod their heads.

"You have to see the odds of winning."

What are the odds?

Kadoorie said: "The Lee family said that he had written to the Colonial Office regarding the deaths of Ho Li-wen and others."

Everyone groaned, and their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Yes, the newspapers said that the deaths of He Liwen and others were closely related to Gao Yao."

"The police and the Hong Kong government turned a deaf ear and are now asking the Colonial Department to put pressure."

"This thief Gao Yao is really crazy. He dares to touch the administrative secretaries of the two bureaus?"

"And that Mr. Lai Lian is an insult to gentlemen!"

Speaking of Lai Lianshi, Keswick and others became angry.

Originally, Keswick and others had long wanted to use the topic to their advantage, but Lai Lianshi openly stood up and said that his best friend He Liwen was trapped in love.

I’m so sleepy! I’m so sleepy!

Everyone only knew that Acting Governor McDougall had a little lover, but they had never heard of He Liwen operating in this way.

The problem is that Lai Lianshi is the president of the University of Hong Kong. Most people will absolutely believe what he says.

In addition, Lai Lianshi, a young man, betrayed the Li family and stabbed the Li family in the face, confirming the Li family's reputation as a big cigarette dealer and implicating Yihe.

Speaking of this, Keswick became angry and said to everyone: "People say that I, Yihe, are dumping cigarettes."

"Everyone knows that it is the Manchus who are dumping opium abroad!"

Everyone felt a little aggrieved: "That's right!"

Keswick was right...

The reason why opium was banned internationally at that time was not because of those high-sounding reasons.

The biggest reason is that those foreign companies can no longer dump opium to the Qing Dynasty.

Because the cigarettes produced locally in the Qing Dynasty are of better quality, larger in quantity, and cheaper!

Direct marketing worldwide!

The major foreign banks were caught off guard and caused a massive outflow of foreign exchange from various countries!
