A layman in the courtyard

Chapter 113 Communication
Cao Zhihua can understand why the three little ones don't want to study. After all, he has been young himself. Almost all young people have a rebellious stage. They don't like the strict control of them at school and at home. They feel that if they go out to work and make money, they are adults. You can be free and have no one to control you.

Cao Zhihua can only say that these people are too young. Only after they have emerged from society and suffered the hardships of society can these people understand the pain of not being able to control everything. It is useless to preach all the time. What others have said is not something that has been experienced personally. They simply refused to listen.

And Cao Zhihua really needs his younger brothers and sisters to grow up faster and be able to stand alone faster.

So at the beginning, Cao Zhihua would only throw his two younger brothers into the most difficult, tiring and training place, so that they could quickly realize the hardships and dangers of society before he could start to cultivate and improve their abilities.So Cao Zhihua said seriously:

"Second brother, third brother, since you have decided to help eldest brother, eldest brother has something to make an agreement with you two."

The big dog and the two dogs nodded in unison and said:

"Brother, tell me."

"You guys came here to help me. My brother is very satisfied. But in the future when you come to work in the company, you must change your name to the outside world, and you cannot tell anyone that you are my younger brother. Can you do it?"

The two younger brothers obviously didn't understand why this was happening, and asked in surprise:

"Why, brother?"

"Because you just came out of the society, you don't know anything, you can't do anything, and you need to learn everything. If everyone knew from the beginning that you were the boss's younger brother, and they would all flatter you, you wouldn't listen. Let’s be honest, what else can you learn? If you can’t learn anything or improve your abilities, then you are not helping me, you are holding me back.

Only when you improve your abilities, can handle everything, and can stand alone, can you say to the outside world that I am your big brother. Otherwise, you are just an ordinary employee of the company. Can you do it? "

The two younger brothers didn't speak. After thinking carefully for a while, they suddenly realized:
"Brother, I understand. Don't worry, I won't say he's your brother. Let's change our names. I'll change my name to my mother's, and my name will be Shen Guo. My third brother's name will be Shen Hua. Do you think that's okay?"

Cao Zhihua saw that his two younger brothers really listened and understood, nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Okay, you are my younger brothers. You have been smart since you were young. You must grow up quickly and help your elder brother well in the future."

After the third child heard that Cao Zhihua agreed, he sat in a daze in the car, full of longing for the future.

After Lou En bought the things, the car quickly drove into the mansion.

When Cao Zhihua got out of the car, he saw that Lou Bancheng's family had also arrived early. Cao Zhihua arranged for Liu Xuanwu and Lou En to move Chen Xueru's suitcase into Chen Xueru's room, move the other luggage in the trunk into the living room, and let the rest of the family move into their respective rooms. , then went into the living room and chatted with Lou Bancheng:

"Dad, Mom, and the three aunts, we just decided to move here on the spur of the moment today. Many things are not ready. I'm a bit neglectful of you. I'm very sorry. Ezi, I bought tea from Lou En. You can make a few cups of tea."

"Okay, Zhihua."

"Xueru, you're going to cook today. I'll work hard to make authentic pork meatballs from Sijiucheng."

"Okay, don't worry, the taste is absolutely authentic."

Lou Tan was very satisfied with Cao Zhihua’s house. After seeing Cao Zhihua’s arrangements, he said:

"We are all a family. What's the point of neglect? I know that you have been busy working non-stop these days and never stopped. It's good to be able to arrange the house so quickly."

Xiangyun and Xiangyu saw that Cao Zhihua was living in such a nice mansion when he first arrived in Hong Kong. Then they thought about their son Lou Yunzhi and Lou Yunxiang who were still living in a tenement house in Mong Kok, and they said with a sour heart:
"Zhihua, why are you so lavish when you first came to Hong Kong Island? No matter how big your family fortune is, you can't afford to make things like this."

Cao Zhihua was a little embarrassed when he heard this. This was his elder. He couldn't argue with him or not, so he was a bit embarrassed.

Lou Bancheng is such a smart person. Seeing Cao Zhihua's current situation, which was a little embarrassing, he said directly:

"With long hair and short knowledge, you know how to talk nonsense. Zhihua, find a place for us to talk about things and let them talk about themselves." Cao Zhihua breathed a sigh of relief and immediately replied:

"Dad, there is a reception room next to it, how about we go to that one?"

"Okay, you lead the way."

After Cao Zhihua and Lou Bancheng sat on the leather sofa in the reception room, Cao Zhihua spoke first:

"Dad, how's your newspaper going these days?"

Lou Bancheng said:

"I've been looking for people and investigating the market these days. Once I find the right newspaper talent and understand the market, we'll be able to do it very quickly."

Cao Zhihua thought for a while and said:

"Dad, I have been running outside every day these days and have learned a lot about things. I would like to share with you."

Lou Bancheng picked up the tea sent by Lou Xiao'e, took a sip, and said:
"Well, good tea. This tea is good. Where can I buy it?"

"The tea was bought at the tea shop near the tenement building. Lou En went to buy it. You can bring some back when the time comes and I will ask Lou En to buy some more."

"Okay, what news do you have here?"

"In the past few days, I have carefully inquired about the social situation and business situation in Hong Kong Island."

Lou Bancheng asked curiously:

"how is the situation?"

Cao Zhihua said seriously:
"Not very optimistic. Let's talk about society first. Although the Hong Kong government claims to rule by law and attaches great importance to the law, the laws in Hong Kong Island are not perfect now, and these officials in the Great Eagle Country have always adopted the Chinese The strategy of governing Hong Kong is somewhat similar to our country’s previous imperial power not going to the countryside.

In addition, Hong Kong Island has had many poor people fleeing from domestic famines over the years, and the Kuomintang's troops have been defeated. Many gangs in Southeast Asia are looking for a life in such a small place. Naturally, they have organized themselves into small groups, and each of them is targeting Hong Kong. There are very influential groups on the island, the white ones are the chamber of commerce, and the black ones are the associations.

Among them, the Guangdong people, led by the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, seem to have the strongest economic strength, and there are more associations in Guangdong. Those starting with the word "东" are basically Dongguan Gang, and those starting with the word "Chao" are basically Chaoshan people, and there are many others. There are more than 200 named gangs in the small Hong Kong Island. "

Cao Zhihua picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and continued:
“There are so many gangs and so many people begging for food in such a small place, you can imagine how chaotic it is.

Since World War II, the Great Eagle Country has lost almost all of its interests in Asia. It has not paid much attention to the development of Hong Kong Island, and has not invested any money in the development of Hong Kong Island.

A large part of Hong Kong Island's economic development in recent years has come from the talents and funds brought by capitalists in Shanghai, which has enabled Hong Kong Island's textile, garment and shipping industries to develop vigorously, and has also driven Hong Kong Island's film industry. "

Cao Zhihua looked at Lou Bancheng who was listening with interest, so he continued:

"The mainland of Great Eagle Country has basically given up on Hong Kong Island in recent years, so it has always adopted a policy of "active non-intervention". Now the economy of Hong Kong Island is developed freely by businessmen. We Chinese people have worked hard and worked hard, and we have also made it possible. Now Hong Kong Island’s economy is taking off.”
