Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

Du Yongxiao has been busy with the preparations for the construction of Times Square these days, and rarely goes home for dinner.

The reason why I came back today is that apart from missing the meals cooked by my mother Li Cuilian, the most important thing is to see my younger brother Du Yongshun. The reason is also very simple, because of the Wanchai pier.

Now that the first loan from HSBC is coming soon, the construction of Times Square requires a lot of building materials, including stones, sand, cement, bricks and tiles, etc., which need to be transported from the New Territories and Kowloon.

The transportation cost of the land route is relatively high. The truck transportation loading and unloading fee, fuel burning fee, toll fee, and messy human experience alone add up to a lot of money.

On the contrary, the cost of going to the wharf to cross the waterway will be much lower, and it will be loaded and unloaded directly on the ship without so many stuck points in the middle, and there will be no need to pay too many exorbitant taxes.

But the problem is that the Wanchai Wharf belongs to Hong Kong Island, and under the control of Chinese Inspector Lei Luo and the old Hong Kong society Heji, if the other party cuts off the wharf transportation, the construction of the Times Mine will be stranded immediately.

At that time, tens of thousands of workers will stop working, construction materials will pile up like a mountain, and HSBC will come to collect debts, and Du Yongxiao will fall into a place of eternal doom.

Du Yongxiao has always been cautious in doing things, and now the newspaper has published that Hengchuang has teamed up with HSBC to build a new coordinate on Hong Kong Island.

I don't know anything else, at least Cheung Kong Industry is paying attention to his movements. As the boss Li said, engaging in real estate is not a child's play house. There are many routines and fatal points. What Du Yongxiao has to do is to cut off all possible crises.

Wan Chai Pier is one of them.

As Du Yongxiao's younger brother, Du Yongshun has been working at Wanchai Wharf.

He loves this job very much.

Even after Du Yongxiao developed, he was still unwilling to leave the dock.

Du Yongxiao offered to help him find a comfortable and promising job several times, but Du Yongshun refused.

Although Du Yongshun has mental problems, he also knows what he can and cannot do.

At the wharf, he could carry five sacks in one go, and was honored as "Li Yuanba of the wharf".

He can gorge on the big pot of vegetables provided by the dock, and eat ten steamed buns in one go.

He could sit on the edge of the pier, kick his legs, and watch the seagulls circling in the sky.

At that moment he knew that he belonged to the dock and could not leave the dock.

If there is any change in the current situation, it is that the people at the dock respect him and no longer laugh at him behind his back. Everyone says that he has a good brother who is a detective, and even the boss of the dock, Killer Xiong, is very polite to him. Invite him to eat barbecued pork rice.

Du Yongshun is very satisfied with the status quo. Compared with his father Du Dapao, whose heart is higher than the sky and his life is thinner than paper, he seems much more realistic and low-key.

As soon as Du Yongshun entered the room, he started eating without taking a shower.

In order to win over this "comrade in arms", Du Dapao put all the good meat in his bowl and said: "Eat more, if you are not full, let your mother cook again!"

Du Yongxiao ate three big bowls of rice, and his stomach was slightly full. Du Dapao was about to win him over to speak for him, but Du Yongxiao said, "Ah Shun, go to the balcony, I have something to tell you!"

"Okay, brother, wait for me!" Du Yongshun buried his head in another big bowl of rice, and then followed Du Yongxiao upstairs.

Du Dapao was in a hurry at the back, and wanted to follow but was too embarrassed to open his mouth. At this moment, Bai Mudan said, "Mr. Du, if you really need one hundred thousand yuan urgently, maybe I can help you."

"Ah, really?" Du Dapao was overjoyed, "How can you help me?"

"You also know that I run a casino, and my monthly turnover is more than 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. I can help you provide funds first, and then pay me back when you have the money after your factory is built." rush. This money is subject to interest, but the casino is owned by Du Yongxiao, and the wool comes from sheep, so Bai Mudan is not afraid of Du Yongxiao's audit.

Du Dapao wanted to jump up at this moment, he was so happy.

"Thank you, Miss Bai! You are really my Guanyin Bodhisattva, the reincarnated parents! Come on, I'll replace wine with tea, let's go!" Du Dapao toasted Bai Mudan with tea.

Li Cuilian could see and hear clearly. She knew that her husband was determined to start a business this time, and the reason why her son refused to help him have a son. He picked up a piece of fat and threw it into Du Dapao's bowl: "As a human being, don't be arrogant! Eat a piece of meat first, and remember to do things seriously so that you can have extra meals!"

...

"Ah Shun, you really don't want to come and help me?" Du Yongxiao stood on the balcony, blowing the wind, and said to his younger brother Du Yongshun, "I can help you arrange a very comfortable job in Nathan Road and Yau Tsim Mong, such as security supervisor , just bring people to patrol every day!"

Du Yongshun took out a boiled egg and handed it to Du Yongxiao, "I bought this in Wan Chai, it's delicious, try it!"

Du Yongxiao took it, didn't eat it, and continued to ask: "What can you do at the pier? Other than carrying sacks, you just make a bet with those coolies and arm-wrestle—"

"Brother, do you despise me and think that I'm ashamed of you for doing this kind of work?"

"Uh, how could it be?" Du Yongxiao said insincerely.

"Brother, why don't you eat eggs if you don't dislike them? You used to love them very much." Du Yongshun said as he peeled the hard-boiled eggs and brought them to Du Yongxiao's mouth. "Try it, does it taste the same as before?"

Du Yongxiao bit the boiled egg, took it in his mouth, chewed it, and said, "Well, the taste is still the same."

"It's different, brother!" Du Yongshun laughed, "The boiled eggs now must not be as delicious as before. We used to be poor and often starved. At that time, whether it was boiled eggs or vegetables and tofu, they were treasures. Eat it, just keep it for me. Now our family environment is better. I haven’t eaten boiled eggs for a long time. Big fish and big meat——”

"Brother!" Du Yongshun glanced at Du Yongxiao, "But I like hard-boiled eggs!"

Du Yongxiao looked at his younger brother's persistent eyes and said nothing more.

In the eyes of my younger brother Du Yongshun, the job at the Wanchai Wharf is the hard-boiled egg in his heart forever——

It can fill your stomach and realize your own value.

Thinking of this, Du Yongxiao's heart suddenly brightened. He reached out and patted Du Yongshun on the shoulder and said, "Okay, I promise you! As I said, one day I will lay down the entire Wanchai pier to send you off. Soon, I will fulfill my promise!"

Beep beep!

While Du Yongxiao and Du Yongshun brothers were chatting, a car horn sounded suddenly below Tanglou.

Du Yongxiao leaned over to look down, but saw a black car with a police force 999 license plate parked below, Inspector Chen Xijiu with a cigarette in his mouth, raised his head and shouted at Tang Lou: "Inspector Du, Brother Luo welcomes you! "
