Hong Kong Island Old Events

"Dad."

"I want to be a Dachaoshan gang." He Dingxian stood in front of the sink, wiping his son's small plate with a rag. Chu Weinan was collecting the dishes and chopsticks and said, "Just do it if you want to."

He Dingxian nodded: "I understand."

Today, the Chu family's self-combed maid went to the mainland to visit her relatives and would not be back for at least half a month. The two bosses couldn't trust anyone else, so they naturally took care of the children themselves.

The series of measures taken by the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce are accurate and fierce, which indeed creates a strong sense of crisis.

Be prepared in advance.

Otherwise, by the time the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce really becomes big, it will be too late.

Not only will it affect the power development of the Chaoshan Gang, but it may also cause division among the Chinese forces within the police force and politics. There cannot be two talkers in the same territory!

Moreover, there are many British-capital bosses in the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Shao Yifu, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, has an unclear relationship with the British side. Otherwise, how could Shaw Brothers gain a foothold in Nanyang? You know, when Shao Yifu went to Nanyang to develop, the British rule in Nanyang became authoritative.

Secondly, there are many concessions in Shanghai, which are deeply influenced by capitalism, and most businessmen are very thoughtful.

The first domestic financial war also occurred in Shanghai.

It's not too much to describe it as "profit-seeking".

What's more, most of the bosses in Shanghai are children of wealthy families, who come to Hong Kong Island to seek refuge. Unlike the brothers from the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, most of them are from poor backgrounds and come to Hong Kong Island to survive. They are naturally antagonistic in terms of class.

As for how to make Dachaoshan Gang?

The strength of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce alone is not enough.

A week later, Luo Wenjin and Luo Wenhui came to visit He Mansion on Wyndham Street to visit Luo Caiyun, who was pregnant. They also brought bird's nests, abalone, and pig's trotters in their hands. After the servant took the gift, He Dingxian quickly asked his two uncles to sit down, made tea to entertain the guests, and asked Luo Caiyun to sit next to him.

"Uncle Jin."

"Daddy."

Luo Caiyun had a big belly and was wearing a maternity skirt. She had some difficulty moving, but her complexion was very rosy.

"Ayun."

"You need to take good care of your health during this period. Children are very delicate." Luo Wenhui, wearing glasses, was polite and caring about her daughter.

Luo Wenjin joked: "Your father became a grandpa for the first time. He gave the child a big gold medal and placed it in front of the Guanyin statue at home as an offering."

"Daddy."

"Are you, a barrister, so superstitious?"

Luo Caiyun rolled her eyes.

Luo Wenhui said: "Just keep it safe."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

He Dingxian nodded in time and thanked him.

Although Luo Caiyun was the wife of a well-known mediator, her legal status was lower than that of Chu Yunnan, but Luo Wenhui was actually her father-in-law. Although Luo Wenhui will not help Chu Weinan as much as he does and regards him as his son, he will never be vague when it is time to help.

"correct."

"Uncle Jin." He Dingxian drank two cups of tea and suddenly said: "I want to combine the four major groups of Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, and Guangfu Chamber of Commerce to form a Hong Kong Island Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. What do you think? ?”

"Um?"

Luo Wenjin paused slightly while holding the tea cup, narrowed his eyes, and said: "Each of the four chambers of commerce has its own talkative person, and there are also major families behind the scenes. It is not easy to merge into one."

"Axian."

Luo Wenhui asked: "Why do you suddenly want to merge four families into one?"

"Shanghai is helping."

Ho Ting-hsien never hid things in front of his family, and said directly: "If the four chambers of commerce each play their own role, they will be defeated sooner or later. On the contrary, forming the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce can reduce friction, increase cooperation, and continue to dominate the development of the Chinese community in Hong Kong Island. "

"It's very important who has the control, Uncle Jin."

Luo Wenjin nodded: "I understand what you mean. I will talk to the four major families. You should also talk to people from other chambers of commerce. Even if the merger is to be merged, it will not be something that can be completed in a short time. The previous Ningbo Chamber of Commerce was a ship It’s easy to make a U-turn, but people from Guangdong account for half of the Chinese population in Hong Kong, and the four chambers of commerce are all big ships. It’s easy to put together signs, but hard to put together people’s hearts!”

"I see."

He Dingxian sighed: "Uncle Jin is willing to help me, and I will have more confidence."

"Young people are just willing to fight."

Luo Wenjin shook his head: "I can't even think of such a thing as four families merging into one."

He Dingxian then stopped talking about the Chamber of Commerce and started talking about family affairs. However, Chu Yunnan came back with her children soon, and the family started to eat happily. Not to mention the close friendship between the Chu family and the Luo family, Luo Wenjin himself watched Chu Yunnan grow up. Just the marriage relationship between the two families and He Dingxian also formed a closer bond.

After finishing the meal, Luo Wenjin and Luo Wenhui did not stay in the villa for long. They left quickly and took the car back to Luo's mansion.

The next day.

evening.

Huo Guantai was wearing a suit, with his legs crossed, sitting in the cafe area of ​​the Peninsula Hotel, and asked with surprised eyes: "Are you so afraid of going to the Shanghai Gang?"

"Shanghuzi's brain is better than Chaoshanzi's."

He Dingxian pointed his finger at his head and said without hesitation: "Most Chaoshan people work hard outside, but Shanghai people can be bosses no matter where they go. This is the education level and cognitive gap brought about by the local economy. Never take it lightly.”

"Before Bao Yugang appeared, who could have thought of using financial methods to build a shipping company? Before the Shaw Brothers started their business, who knew that movie tickets could be sold to Nanyang? And everything that the Chaoshan Gang has, the Shanghai Gang has. Or maybe there is."

Huo Guantai thought for a while and had to nod: "Indeed, the Shanghai Gang will be the most powerful opponent in the history of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. It's not how powerful one person is, but the energy of the entire gang."

For example, the Chaoshan Gang has many big bosses in the mainland. They have been betting on the right thing since the Anti-Japanese War. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, they have stayed in the mainland to support national construction and pave the way for the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce to return to the mainland in the future. In fact, there are also big bosses from the Shanghai Gang who stayed in the mainland, and most of them served as factory directors of local state-owned enterprises. The former president of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Hong Kong, and Wang Kuancheng of Wei Da Yang, even returned directly to the mainland to do business after the end of the Anti-Japanese War.

For example, the Chaoshan Gang relies on the four major families to participate in Gui Lao politics, but the Shanghai Gang has always been on good terms with foreign banks and has many compradors, so it can rely on foreign banks to intervene in Hong Kong politics.

Another example is that there are people in Chaoshan in Nanyang, and there are also people in the Shanghai Gang.

Whenever the Shanghai Gang lacks a fulcrum, they don't have to make a fuss, because they are destined to be left behind by the Chaoshan Gang. However, the Shanghai Gang has them all, and their potential is huge.

"That's why I want to unite the four Guangdong Chambers of Commerce before the Shanghai-Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is established and hold the Shanghai-Shanghai Chamber of Commerce in the palm of my hand. It's not to suppress the development of the Shanghai-Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, but the situation of the Chinese in Hong Kong Island. Someone needs to stand up to each other." Ho Ting-hsien unfolded his left hand and slowly clasped it: "Resisting in a different court represents division. The Chinese in Hong Kong have finally gained some social status, and what they need is an authority that can continue to lead people upward."

"authority!"

"There can only be one!"

Huo Guantai saw a sense of confidence in his clenched fists and couldn't help but nodded: "I believe you."

"Um."

He Dingxian nodded and said: "No one cares about him in business, but I think Mr. Shao wants to do more than just business. Otherwise, there is no need to support Ma Zai in a big way."

In an era when cooperation was greater than competition among the Chinese, even if there was a commercial conflict between the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce and the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, they could only use the association to compare their strength, and it was impossible to fight through politics. It is even less possible to use the police force to beat people.

Because everyone's main opponent is a ghost guy, and a bite of meat from a ghost guy is enough to fatten up a chamber of commerce.

At least it will be after the 1980s, when Chinese capital embezzled British capital on a large scale, that the contradictions between the Chinese bosses will gradually emerge, and political means will be used to fight against each other.

He Dingxian holds a gun in his hand. Subjectively, he is wary of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, but objectively he is already protecting the people of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Because the police force also has detectives from Ningbo and Shanghai immigration inspectors, these people all help the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

If the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is planning for decades to come, then I have to say that Mr. Shao is thinking about his future generations. If it is to pave the way for development in ten or twenty years, then it is undoubtedly preparing for confrontation, and confrontation is division!

"But the four major chambers of commerce have four presidents, and the bosses in each region naturally trust the talkers in that region." Huo Guantai said helplessly: "Once the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce is established, and the four presidents become one, even if it is The presidents are willing to support it, but the vice presidents and directors are unlikely to agree.”

"There is a big difference between having votes and not having votes. What's more, you can't keep all the directors, right?"

In this way, the system of the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce will become extremely bloated. To make a decision, hundreds of people need to agree, and the people of the original chamber of commerce will definitely form a group, and in the end it will become a mess. It is better to follow the Shanghai gang alone.

"And you're just going to convince me to go to President Fang, President Li, and President He for this?"

Fang Suquan, the president of the Dongguan Chamber of Commerce, Li Guanchun, the president of the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce, and He Shanheng, the president of the Guangfu Chamber of Commerce, are not easy to get along with.

He Dingxian smiled and said: "Of course not. Let me tell you, I just hope that you will support me and work in the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce in the future. By the way, you can be a middleman and make appointments for me to have a chat with the three presidents."

"no problem."

Huo Guantai agreed readily, and then asked: "However, you have to tell me how to convince the three presidents first, and I will think about it."

He Dingxian took a deep look at Huo Guantai. In terms of shrewdness, Mr. Huo was truly top-notch.

"OK."

"Brother Tai and I tell the truth. In fact, for brothers to stand together, there are two important points. The first point is to have a common goal, and the second point is to have a common enemy." He Dingxian said: "The four chambers of commerce Who is the common enemy?”

"It's not the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. They are rivals at most. The only enemy is Gui Lao."

"What about common interests?" Huo Guantai fell into deep thought.

"Nanyang!"

Ho Dingxian said: "The Chinese Labor Front has formed a coalition government with Umno and the MCA, and the chairman of the Labor Association, Ma Siowa, serves as the Chief First Minister of Singapore. This is a position equivalent to the prime minister of the same government."

"That will be the next battlefield for the Chinese."

Huo Guantai's pupils shrank sharply.
