Great Entrepreneur of the Universe

Chapter 226 Aren’t you the most powerful Chinese police officer in Hong Kong Island?

Wang Shouliang's wait did not take much time. Before eight o'clock in the evening, a group of policemen wearing green clothes and carrying sticks and wooden shields came to the quiet street near the Baolu Inn.

Taking the lead at the front was Zhen Sanhuan and his two plainclothes boys.

After seeing a few tall and straight-looking men in blue uniforms holding guns and guarding the door, this gentleman did not dare to step forward. He pushed a few green-clad policemen who were acting as human shields and shouted from a distance of more than ten meters. , "Excuse me, who is the boss who came to visit me in Xihuan? I am on the third ring road of Xiazhen. Please forgive me for any rudeness."

"Can you come out and talk?"

…………

In the Baolu Inn, the shouts of the third ring road came in, and Wang Shouliang, who was drinking tea, smiled, "Your umbrella is here, why don't you invite him to come in and sit down?"

Ou Xinhu had a bitter look on his face, "That bastard showed no mercy when collecting money. He would definitely abandon me as soon as he was in danger."

This is true, the original trajectory was after Ma Rulong defeated Luo Sanpao, and Zhen Sanhuan was exposed by the newspapers because of the scandal of arresting people and making fake cases to gain credit for his qualifications.

Ma Rulong takes over the position of deputy assistant in Western District and fights against Ou Xinhu, a local gangster.

Even if all the Ou family's forces were wiped out, the third ring of the town would be cleared away at the speed of light instead of trying to help Boss Ou.

Ignoring the arrival of Zhen Sanhuan, Wang Shouliang drank a few more cups of tea and saw Kevin, Cliff and another young ghost guy stepping into the inn. Behind these three ghost guys was the pretentious Zhen San. ring.

As soon as Kevin entered, he covered his forehead and complained in English, "Wang, you made a big fuss this time. I don't care how many people you recruit in Kowloon, how many guns and gunboats you equip."

"Your future is to go north and find a place to fight against the Qing government. It is not to disrupt the security of our Hong Kong and Kowloon."

Cliff also spoke English with a strong British flavor, "Wang, this is Joseph. For this matter, you have to spend at least 2000 pounds to satisfy Joseph's appetite."

"He can help you put everything in order and make the entire Hong Kong military and police system turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to your Blue Jackets. Even if someone questions it, they can find a good reason to make it public."

If this happened in Kowloon, a place with many slums, such a trivial matter would be completely ignored, but this was the fairly lively Sai Wan Night Market at seven or eight in the evening.

90 cavalry teams with uniform uniforms, equipment and bicycles raided the lair of a squatter like Ou Xinhu and fired a lot of shots. It was really no small matter.

The biggest problem is that the Chinese, if they have guns, shoot them!

With a bright smile on his face, Joseph stared at Wang Shouliang as if he were looking at a money-spreading boy, "King, I have admired your name for a long time, and when I see you today, you are indeed extraordinary."

"I can help explain to you that the Blue Coat Team is a high-level special police force that is independent of the police force and is dedicated to handling high-risk crimes, VIP protection, and other special tasks."

"I received the order to eradicate Ou Xinhu to prevent people from panic."

"It's only 2000 pounds. I don't want much. But from now on, if you behave like today, everyone will be surprised."

"Even if your Blue Jackets continue to recruit people and conduct live-fire exercises and training in Kowloon, the public will become accustomed to it."

"No matter which territory you want to occupy in the north, as long as you have our support, there will be many conveniences and benefits. What do you think?"

Wang Shouliang, "..."

Good guy, he has been activating his money making ability and spending huge sums of money to feed Kevin and Cliff, so that all kinds of transactions can go so smoothly.

It was one order after another, almost without interruption, and one branch was placing new orders.

Each order gives the other party a considerable profit, which attracts everyone to cooperate happily. After all, Kevin and Cliff don't give it. As long as Mr. Wang goes to Yangcheng or Foshan to talk to North American cowboys, they will sell it cheaply. Goods.

In North America before World War I and World War II, they really wanted to sell everything, but there was no market. It was difficult for many big babies to compete with the traditional powers such as Yan Lun, France, and Hans Cat.

Under this general premise, things have been developing smoothly...

He also felt that he was recruiting more escorts and agents from the Sihai Escort Bureau. When the number reached a thousand, it would be time to disperse. Otherwise, why not just recruit 3000 people in Yau Ma Tei?

Instead, ten junior escorts including Zhuo Yifei and Tang Xiucai were sent to Yangcheng to open a branch? The next step of splitting the helm also includes Foshan, Xiangshan, Panyu, Guandong and other places.

Kowloon has one thousand, and other cities slowly save three to five hundred each.

The total number is slowly rising.

After all, he also felt that if he was too powerful in Hong Kong and Kowloon, the ghost guys would be afraid of him and become a stumbling block.

These guys had long thought that he would not stay here peacefully? Will you go north? What kind of commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief who changes the king's flag at the top of the city?

But think about it seriously... He also felt that according to the normal thinking of ghost guys, it was normal for them to think like this.

Who would spend millions or millions of taels of silver to buy equipment for themselves without ambition? Beiyang representatives only had two ships, Zhenyuan and Dingyuan, in the late Qing Dynasty.

It is estimated that from the moment he placed the order, he was recognized by Yin Lun as a new and great failed scholar.

That's not right. The last person who achieved great things was not a serious scholar. Wang Shouliang's background in this dimension was that of a serious scholar.

With only 2000 pounds, his Sihai Escort Agency can train openly, including live ammunition? Aren't you afraid of shocking the people? And the identity of the temporary special police force approved by Yan Lun Gui Lao?

After being speechless, Wang Shouliang stood up and walked towards Joseph, smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Happy cooperation."

The 2000 pounds was more than the 15000 black Spanish eagles that Ou Xinhu took out. This was to taels of silver.

But in exchange for such a small amount of money, I can launch such an operation at will next time. I can practice live ammunition in various places in Yau Tsim Mong relatively freely, including letting the sailors fire cannons in the future.

This is great value for money.

After joking for a while and making an appointment to wait for supper, Wang Shouliang blew the assembly whistle again and ordered the 90 junior escorts of the Sihai Escort Agency to return to their nests.

He rode away on his horse and a few ghost guys.

In the Baolu Inn, Ou Xinhu and Zhen Sanhuan looked at each other, unable to speak to themselves for a long time.

After a minute or two, Ou Xinhu stared at Zhen Third Ring Road with some suspicion, "Sir Zhen, haven't you always been the most powerful Chinese policeman in Hong Kong Island??"

"Who were those three ghost guys just now?"

Zhen Sanhuan's face darkened, and he also blew his whistle, "Close the team!!"

After the town sir led the people to run away, Ou Xinhu slapped his thigh and hurriedly asked his younger brother to go with him to give money to those progressive young people in Shanshan.

The money he gave out today was not much less than the 2000 pounds that Wang Shouliang gave Joseph. The only problem was that Ou Xinhu had never spent millions or millions of taels of silver to buy a big business.

………………

August 1901, 8, the beginning of autumn.

In the sea outside Tung Chung Fort on Lantau Island, two ironclad ships with a displacement of more than 7000 tons display the eye-catching Chinese characters of "Si Hai" and "Nan Hai" respectively. When Wang Shouliang took the small boat and turned to the iron-clad ship, Luo Sanpao and Li Chujiu both looked surprised and excited. Sanpao was trembling a little, "Big shopkeeper, such a big iron-clad ship is really here."

"I still feel that this business is going a little too smoothly."

"Even if you, the big shopkeeper, gave them about 350 million taels of silver, the transaction would be a bit smooth..."

Wang Shouliang smiled brightly and said, "Sanpao, show off the momentum you have to conquer all the seas. Follow the instructors on the Sihai as soon as possible and let the brothers learn well and understand."

"The water is also in dire straits over there now. It's up to you to snatch the Japanese merchant ship."

Li Chujiu laughed, "If they dare to come, we dare to do things. Hundreds of brothers have not touched our Chinese merchant ships for two and a half months."

"I'm just living off my old capital and the salary from you, the big shopkeeper. When our newly-equipped good guys start moving, they will definitely bleed the Japanese."

The next moment, Li Chujiu couldn't help but sigh, "I wish you had come here a few years ago, big shopkeeper. A few years ago, when the Japs were massacring the Black Flag Army over there, it was a pity that there were so many good men."

Luo Sanpao also listened with enthusiasm, "Yes, the Black Flag Army is good. I, Luo Sanpao, don't have many people under my command, but the Black Flag brothers are top performers."

Since the late Qing Dynasty, the military ethics of the Qing Dynasty have been the worst in the world. General Liu's Black Flag Army has shined brilliantly, and it is one of the few shining points.

However, with these two armored ships, Luo Sanpao was still looking forward to his future. He went ashore to join Wang Shouliang on June 6. Another month and a half passed. Luo Sanpao also knew that Mr. Wang had recruited four to five hundred people. A good man who is good at water, not seasick, and not afraid of waves.

I have been training on various wooden sailboats before.

As for the Zhenyuan and Dingyuan-class iron-clad ships during the Sino-Japanese War of 300-, they usually had more than combat personnel per ship.

His pirate group and the hundreds of good men from good families recruited by Wang Shouliang can easily operate two large ships as long as they continue to train for a few months.

More than a month has passed, and the second batch of 900 escorts from Wang Shouliang's Sihai Escort Agency have all been trained well, and their performance is better than the first batch in the same period!

The first 100 people were trained for more than two months and were evaluated as qualified before recruiting new ones, while the second batch was qualified in less than two months.

why?

Everyone worked harder and saw more opportunities. If the first batch of people practiced hard, it was to have enough food and clothing, to give their wives and children a place to live, and to go to school in the future.

As soon as the second group of people arrived, groups of escorts were promoted and their salaries increased... The monthly salary of the escorts was 3 Yingyang, the junior escort was 10 Yingyang, and the intermediate escort was 30 Yingyang.

This salary increase is really huge!

Not to mention getting promoted, you have become a squad leader, a squadron leader, etc., and you have more and more people under your supervision. This is being an official!

In China's five thousand years of history, countless people at the bottom have been pursuing officials. That's really... Wang Shouliang's Sihai Escort Agency doesn't care about qualifications or background, it all depends on your ability to learn and adapt.

If you have outstanding academic performance, you can become an official. If you are fair, just and open, then you can become an official! ! !

Moreover, from April to August, the original one or two thousand acres of land in Yau Ma Tei has now expanded to almost five thousand acres. The planned one- and two-story factories have already been built.

Basically it can be put into use.

There are only five-story tenement buildings, which are still under construction due to the age and equipment environment. However, countless Zhujiang instant noodle factories, garment factories, bicycle factories, and Zhujiang Construction are recruiting employees one after another.

There are also many escorts and escorts recruited by the Sihai Escort Agency.

We all have a clear idea of ​​what the accommodation environment will be like in tenement buildings in the future. The big houses will have three bedrooms and one living room, bright windows, water and electricity, and rain showers and flush toilets.

A small house has two bedrooms and one living room or one bedroom and one living room, but it also basically comes with its own kitchen and bathroom.

Of course, in building kitchens in this era, burning briquettes was common.

In the future, these will be given priority to rent to employees within the group. The higher the rank, the higher the right to choose a house. You can rent it and buy it directly after you save enough money...

Is this for the former victims and refugees who were still living in wooden houses in slums a few months ago, where it rained, leaked, and strong winds froze them, and they had to wait in line for water, use public dry toilets to go to the toilet, take a shower is a luxury, and several brothers took turns wearing a pair of pants? ?

The tenement buildings under planning and construction in Zhujiang are no less than the paradise mansions they only dream of.

Even a few decades later, being able to live in a Tongzilou with public toilets and stoves in the corridors was an era where only leaders could get treatment.

In 1901, did you build a tenement building with water and electricity, a three- or two-bedroom mansion, and flush toilets? ? This is too dimensionally reducing for the times.

As long as you train hard, perform well, and get higher and better evaluations, you will have the opportunity to quickly be promoted from a bodyguard to a junior escort or even a mid-level escort, with a higher monthly salary, a bigger house, more people to manage, and better benefits... …

If the second batch of 900 people didn’t work hard on themselves, that would be abnormal.

There are also some elites and strongmen among them, who were not only recognized as junior escorts in advance, but also became team captains from journeymen. There are also some outstanding ones who directly surpassed the strength of the first batch of 100 people and became intermediate escorts.

During this period, Zhuo Yifei, Tang Xiucai and other eleven people also successfully trained 100 escorts in Yangcheng at the Yangcheng Escort Bureau branch.

Wang Shouliang went there several times and trained in person for a few days, and he also made the sound himself.

When Wang Shouliang, Luo Sanpao, Li Chujiu and others boarded the deck of the Nanhai and chatted with the ghost instructor who was left behind on the ship, he felt deep in his heart that he had traveled through a new dimension for four months.

He can be regarded as having more than 2000 qualified troops in both land and water divisions.

A brave man must be rewarded under a heavy reward. The treatment he gave to these more than 2000 disaster victims, refugees, civilians, poor people and pirates was truly an extraordinary reward.

The past few days are just about getting used to life on an armored ship. After the initial stage is over, we can continue to recruit the third round of assassins for the Sihai Escort Bureau.

He has so many boats, so many bicycles, and even a part of the cavalry, and so many long and short guns. The Sihai Escort Agency has already established a certain foundation by traveling around Hong Kong Island.

This was the result of smashing seven to eight million taels of counterfeit banknotes worth the equivalent of silver.

In addition to spending about 500 million taels on buying boats and guns, large-scale construction on acres of land, large-scale recruitment of workers and spending on food, clothing and clothing are not small amounts of money.

Just talk about the raw materials for the various factory goods, which are all money.

………………

Central.

When Shi Xi knocked on the door, he heard a voice coming in. Deputy Shi quickly opened the door and saluted and said hello.

A middle-aged ghost man burst out laughing when he saw Deputy Shi, "Shi, you were on the Public Security Fund Raising Committee and did a great job."

"Because of your outstanding performance, and after many considerations, the Secretary for Security plans to appoint you as Inspector of Yau Tsim Mong, responsible for the security of the three districts on land there."

"This is your letter of appointment. You can also call it one stone and three rings."

Shi Xi's face was confused, "..."
