Hong Kong Island Old Events

One month later.

Singapore, NA District, Chinatown.

Yip's Wing Chun's first Nanyang martial arts gym officially opened.

"Crackling."

Amidst the lively sound of firecrackers.

Ip Man was wearing a black gown, with his hands clasped in his fists, and he nodded repeatedly to the guests: "Welcome, welcome."

"Mr. Jiang welcomes you."

"Chairman Lin."

"Thanks for the honor."

Ye Buqing, Xu Shangtian and others were wearing white sweatshirts, showing their strong upper body muscles, with their hands behind their backs, looking at the scene in front of them with smiles on their faces.

Wing Chun.

Stand up!

Hong Kong Island.

He Dingxian took a telegram and said with a smile: "Tian Yang worshiped Ye Wen as his teacher, and was taught by Ye Buqing as his acting teacher. Although he was only the most ordinary outer disciple, Lin recognized the status of the martial arts school in the society. Youfu donated a sum of money to let his son enter the Wing Chun martial arts gym and become Xu Shangtian's disciple."

"Within half a month, more than a thousand members have joined the Wing Chun gym. It seems that using the martial arts gym as a trade union organization is still highly respected by people in the world."

It is impossible for a legal union to be born within a martial arts club, so the inheritance of masters in a martial arts school is the best system.

"What is surprising is that Li Guangyao actually joined the Wing Chun gym, and Ip Man personally accepted a disciple on behalf of his master Chen Shunhua, making Li Guangyao his junior disciple."

Li Guangyao is a local expatriate born in Singapore. His father Li Jinkun once worked for Shell Petrol Company, and later ran a watch business and was well-known in Nanyang business circles. When Li Guangyao was studying at Fleish College, he married Ke Yuzhi, a female classmate he fell in love with. At a young age, he already had a son named "Jianlong".

He is currently engaged in the legal profession with his wife in Singapore. He once joined the "Malaysian Forum" created to "fight for Malaysian independence". He later became famous for negotiating with the government on behalf of the "Singapore Postmen's Strike", and established an alliance in the trade union. Mass base and became the leader of the Singapore Labor Front.

At the same time, the Malaysian Action Front was created to fight for equal interests for the Nanyang Chinese. One month ago, it participated in the first election of the Nanyang Chinese and was elected as a member of the Legislative Yuan.

"The political era that belongs to him has begun. He is also the most famous person who has joined the Yip family of Wing Chun. Ip Man is very good at winning people's hearts when he recruits apprentices." He Dingxian put down the telegram and said with emotion: "It can be seen that Master Yip Not only is he good at boxing, but he’s also very knowledgeable about the world.”

"Congressman Li became a disciple of Yip's Wing Chun at this time. It seems that he wanted to establish a connection with me and gain some benefits."

"This nail is wedged in."

He Dingxian lit up a cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly: "If Congressman Li needs support in the future, he can invest appropriately first. However, it is difficult to predict the nature of a majestic figure like him unless he knows him personally."

"Just relying on the news and gossip I heard in my previous life, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see the real person."

“With the Malaysian Action Front standing up, does it mean that the Chinese Labor Front will lose power?”

The Action Front is registered in Malaysia and the Labor Front is registered in Singapore. Both places belong to Nanyang and are under the jurisdiction of the Governor-General of Nanyang. However, they are legally two colonies, so Mr. Lee can play a good role in them.

The new congressmen had cooperated very well with the Labor Front, and the Labor Front had been established longer and was stronger.

Why is there no news from later generations?

"There are still good things to do in Nanyang!"

Repulse Bay.

Xiang's villa.

Lin Jing, wearing a black mandarin jacket, stood by the bookcase and answered the phone. He agreed twice, then turned around and shouted: "Xiang Sheng, the number of Taiwan Island."

in the garden.

Xiang Qian was circling his son Huaqiang, who had just started school. Hearing this, he put down the child with a smile and hurried to the living room, saying: "Come right away."

He stood in front of the bookcase, took the phone from his subordinate, and said: "Mr. Hu."

"General Xiang, can Xinji send out a few ships to help transport a batch of goods to the United States?" Hu Linying, wearing a mustache, stood in an office of the Secrecy Bureau and spoke in a very low voice.

Xiang Qian knew what the cargo Director Hu wanted to transport, and Xinji helped the people from the Secrecy Bureau do the dirty work.

But he vaguely heard that the situation in Taiwan has changed. The eldest young master has begun to take over the intelligence department and is reorganizing the intelligence agency.

The upper floors are in turmoil.

"Director Hu."

Xiang Qian muttered: "Looking at our past friendship, I can help you transport the goods again, but only for one shipment."

"Xinji is also struggling on Hong Kong Island."

Hu Linying said hurriedly: "Thank you very much."

"I will definitely go to Hong Kong Island to visit you in person another day."

Snapped.

The phone hangs up.

Hu Linying's expression suddenly changed, and she said in a somewhat displeased tone: "How dare you, a homeless dog and gangster, compete with me as a general?"

"Someone come!"

he shouted toward the door.

A young man wearing a Chinese tunic suit, with a shaved head and a fit figure opened the door, stood at attention and saluted: "Sir!"

"Send someone to deliver the goods from the warehouse to the dock."

"Leave it to Xinji to handle it."

Hu Linying said aloud.

"yes!"

Wang Xuecai, the head of the Secrecy Bureau, stood at attention again and solemnly agreed.

evening.

Qiu Degen held his briefcase under his arm, stood at the door and bowed to apologize: "Sorry, big boss, I came to disturb you just after get off work. There is something in the bank that needs to be reported."

"Ha ha."

"Lao Qiu, you are my God of Wealth. It's a good thing that the God of Wealth comes to my door." He Dingxian was sitting at the dining table and was about to eat. After the maid invited the guests in, he said, "Yue'e, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks." Shopkeeper Qiu is sitting here."

"Let's talk about something while eating."

He Dingxian looked at Qiu Degeng with a smile.

Qiu De nodded more politely: "Thank you, boss."

Afterwards, he carefully sat down at the dining table and took a sip of soup. When the big boss got into the rhythm of eating, Fang said: "Oriental Bank's office in Haojiang has been open for less than half a month. On average, it is occupied every day. After 1.3 raids, Chao Yiyong has already killed six of his brothers."

He Dingxian frowned, feeling a little unhappy, and said while eating: "As far as I know, the biggest name in Haojiang is Shuifang, which is also a branch of the Number Gang. Is it enough for Mr. Ge and Dabi to come forward?"

Nowadays, the petty quarrels in the business below will not enter his ears unless a few lives are lost. In fact, as long as there is no other way, the people under my command will try their best to get things done privately and let the big boss see the results.

The company does not support idle people.

Qiu De even shook his head: "Not enough. Mr. Gao Kening from Haojiang wants to see you in person. He said that if you can't cross the river, the Eastern Group will not be able to cross the river."

"So majestic, Mr. Gao?" When He Dingxian heard that it was Gao Kening who was looking for trouble, he was not surprised but happy, because Gao Kening was already seventy-five years old, and by calculation, he would be buried in less than two years. The business of the Gao Kening family is now jointly run by two sons, Gao Fuquan and Gao Fuqiu.

Gao Kening's life can be described as a turbulent one with grassroots rise.

When he was young, he hung out in a gambling stall. Later, he opened a gambling stall and made his first pot of gold. He then shipped opium from Haojiang to the mainland to make money. In the early 1990s, he became rich. Later, he used gambling to get loans and started to operate the pawn industry. During the war, countless people pawned their property in exchange for a mouthful of food.

Gao Kening relied on gambling and opium to quickly make the pawn business prosperous and became a famous pawn king in the province, Hong Kong and Macao. In 1938, following Guangdong Province's policy of prohibiting gambling, he and Fu Laorong jointly established the "Xingtai Company" and invested in the Haojiang gambling franchise with an annual salary of 1.5 million Australian dollars. They were in charge of the Haojiang gambling franchise for more than 20 years. .

Fu Laorong is currently the second-generation gambling king in Haojiang, while Gao Kening is more of a loan king than a pawn king. He alone lent all the loan sharks in the Haojiang Casino, so he naturally made a lot of money.

In its heyday, the Gao Kening family was ranked alongside the Ho Tung and Luo Wenjin families.

Qiu De even sighed: "If you want to get water in Haojiang, especially to open a bank, you have to go through Mr. Gao. In fact, Mr. Gao is afraid that Oriental Bank will do credit business in Haojiang and steal the Gao Kening family's job. If you meet me, you might want to speak."

"What are you talking about?"

"You want me to open a bank but not lend money?" He Dingxian sneered and put down his chopsticks: "Opening a bank but not lending money is any different from opening a dyeing workshop but not selling cloth. It's true that Haojiang has a gambling franchise, but I haven't heard of a credit franchise. !”

"He can lend us this loan, but I can't?"

Qiu De was even more stunned, put down his bowls and chopsticks, and said: "Big boss, it doesn't matter if you give in appropriately. We really can't beat Gao Kening and Fu Laorong in Haojiang. If you beat the one named Gao, the one named Fu will come out." .”

"The purpose of opening our office in Haojiang is mainly to provide financial services, not to lend and collect interest."

He Dingxian nodded, feeling that it made sense, but he did not accept it: "In Haojiang, the Gao family and the Fu family are not the ones talking about each other. Someone can help us solve this matter. After all, we are not taking advantage of others, and we come to the door in an upright manner. Just come back and find justice.”

"who?"

Qiu De was even more surprised.

"He Xian."

He Dingxian smiled: "I heard that Representative He hung a sign on the second floor of Dafeng Bank. Every day from 9 to 10 am, for one hour, as the Chinese representative of the Legislative Council, he accepted consultations from Chinese people from all walks of life. "

"As a Chinese investor and the vice president of the Hong Kong Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, I am going to consult on how to do business in Haojiang. Do you think Representative He will meet me?"

Sometimes, there is no need to use any cunning tactics to deal with some people, because, as long as your status, strength and status are sufficient, your attitude determines social security and even legal order, and many people are willing to speak out for you.

The only person in Haojiang who could overshadow Gao and Fu was He Xian.

He Xian even started his career through Fu Laorong's influence, and the Dafeng Bank he worked for was a bank jointly owned by Fu Laorong and Ma Wanqi. However, He, a businessman from Guangdong Province, relied on his own ability to become a good friend of Paul, the economic director of Haojiang, and solved many problems for the Haojiang authorities during the war.

Become a Chinese businessman more trusted by the authorities than Fu Laorong.

Qiu Degeng sighed: "Big Boss, just because of your name, Representative He will have to meet you."

"Haha, the surname He is also considered a common surname in Hong Kong and Macao. The difference of one character is normal. It is better than those like Ajie and Amin." He Dingxian was joking, but he knew that he must be fully prepared when going to Haojiang. Otherwise, it is very likely that the bank account will be messed up.
