Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 80 The Wave of the Times

Before leaving work, Jiang Zuhui put on his jacket, carried his notebook, and hurriedly left the embassy.

In the evening, He Dingxian returned home and hung up his clothes. He turned around and saw Lardboy sitting in the living room with a teacup and a bright smile: "Brother Xian."

"Azai, have the information been found?" He Dingxian sat on a chair and took the hot tea from his subordinates. Lardboy waited for the boss to finish drinking the tea before speaking: "It was found!"

"Lei Tanmu borrowed the money from Xinheng Bank on Lidong Street. The total amount is 12,000 Hong Kong dollars. He will repay 15,000 Hong Kong dollars in one year, one installment per month. There are currently four installments left, totaling 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. "

He Dingxian had expected it, nodded and said: "Sure enough, it is on my territory. Fortunately, there is no profit margin, which saves A Luo some face."

"Lei Luo is a spy after all." Lardboy said with a slight sarcasm, joking, he already looked down on Lei Luo a little.

It's not about respect, it's because after following Brother Xian, I feel that ordinary visits are almost boring.

Lei Luo is even more pitiful when he owes a lot of debt.

Lee Tung Street is also an underground financial district where a large number of banks gather.

He Dingxian said: "Go to Xinheng Bank to borrow some money."

Lardboy had a look of astonishment on his face, raised his eyes to meet the big boss's eyes, and suddenly had a clear idea in his heart: "I understand, I must borrow more."

"I have seen your ability to borrow money." He Dingxian smiled and said, "I believe you."

"But I want so much money, so much money that it will bankrupt Xinheng."

Lardboy was silent and said loudly: "Then we can only use the factory as a mortgage."

"Yeah, but don't worry, talk to them slowly, be more sincere, and wait for my news before going to get the money." He Dingxian cautiously ordered: "If there is no word from the superiors, there is no need to borrow the money."

Lardboy nodded slightly: "The boss behind Xinheng Bank is Yu Shaohong from Hecheng. He is affiliated to the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce. In fact, he is a member of Li Guanchun, the president of the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce."

"I know Li Guanchun." He Dingxian nodded: "The founder of the Bank of East Asia, the son of banking giant Li Shipeng, and the successor of the Li family in Wuyi."

"Yes." Seeing that the big boss knew what he was talking about, Lardboy didn't mention it any more.

He Dingxian saw that Lardboy had a hard time crossing the sea, so he left him at home to have dinner. But before dinner was halfway through, Yan Xiong trotted to the door of the house and shouted: "Brother Xian, Brother Xian!"

When He Dingxian heard the voice, his heart moved: "It's Ah Xiong, my brother in Wan Chai District, tell him to come in."

"I got it, Brother Xian." Lardboy had seen Yan Xiong's name a long time ago, and silently paid more attention to him, then went out to invite people in. After Yan Xiong stood at attention and saluted, he said very simply: "Brother Hui called the police station and asked you to come to the stadium in the South District and let you set off immediately."

"Okay!" He Dingxian put down his chopsticks without hesitation and stood up. He put on his shirt and jacket again, hung up his gun, and turned back to the kitchen and shouted: "Mom, I'm going out."

"I got it." A voice came from the kitchen, and Lardboy quickly stood up: "Brother Xian, I'll accompany you there."

He Dingxian did not refuse, and patted Yan Xiong on the shoulder: "Ah Xiong, let's go together."

Yan Xiong nodded in agreement, and the three of them quickly left the house and took a rickshaw to the Royal Golf Course in Deep Water Bay in the Southern District.

This golf course was established by the "Hong Kong Island Golf Club" and has always been a venue for British military officers and government officials. Like horse racing, it is a high-end entertainment exclusive to ghosts.

In the early years, addresses and jockey clubs were usually built in Happy Valley, which is why Hong Kong Island got its name.

On February 26, 1918, the annual horse race was held on Hong Kong Island. Firecrackers were set off, causing a huge fire. The flames swept through the entire racecourse, resulting in a tragic tragedy. The number of deaths recorded in the records reached "590".

This is where the term "bursting" commonly used on Hong Kong Island comes from.

Later, both the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Hong Kong Golf Club re-located and built venues. The first new golf club course was in Deep Water Bay. In 1897, the Hong Kong Island Golf Club received royal approval from the Queen of England with the support of the then Governor. With the word "Royal" in mind, the title was changed to "The Royal Hong Kong Island Golf Club" and a second course was expanded in Fanling, New Territories.

So far, in order to maintain relations with Gui Lao, the top Chinese executives and bosses in Hong Kong have always been keen on horse racing and golf.

The so-called "advanced sports" are always created by people at the bottom. They are just played by people at the top. Over time, they become a kind of movement.

Social attributes are greater than sports attributes.

For Chinese people working in Hong Kong Island such as Gao Yongsheng, if they play golf, they must play golf at the No. 1 golf course in Hong Kong Island.

He Dingxian led people to the gate of the Royal Stadium, reported the name of Inspector General Hua, and then entered the stadium in an English carriage.

It was the first time for both Zhu Luzai and Yan Xiong to return to the Royal Football Club. Under their pretended calm expressions, they could not hide their excitement and curiosity.

The British aristocratic carriage is very different from the carriage that pulls goods. Even if the ride is bumpy, it can give you a sense of superiority.

He Dingxian felt that it was more boring than a human rickshaw, and a car was better than a car. However, the football club was indeed a thing for high-level people. In an era when cars were not popular, the main purpose of using a horse-drawn carriage was to highlight one's aristocratic temperament!

When Jiang Zuhui saw a carriage parked next to the stadium, he turned around and waved to the figure who had just got off the car, waving and shouting: "Axian, come here!"

"Sir!"

He Dingxian responded loudly and quickly stepped forward.

Lardboy and Yan Xiong stood motionless on the roadside outside the stadium as soon as they got out of the car. They were no different from the ten plainclothes agents nearby.

The younger brothers are all younger brothers.

Jiang Zuhui was the first to hand over a club when his subordinate was about to salute and asked: "Is that okay?"

He Dingxian pretended to be embarrassed and complained: "Brother Hui, you are making things difficult for me..."

"Hahaha." A man in the middle, wearing a black suit and holding a club with both hands, who had just finished playing a ball, turned his head and said with a smile: "Ah Hui, don't make things difficult for young people."

Gao Yongsheng is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, but he has a full sky, a round ground floor, and a tall and strong nose. He is inhaling from a pipe in his mouth, and he has an invisible aura of scorning all directions.

A boss of this level will always be unforgettable at first sight. I don't know if it's for psychological reasons or if he really has the temperament of a superior.

When He Dingxian saw his gaze, he quickly stood at attention, saluted, and shouted solemnly: "Hello, sir!"

"Axian, take the cue first." Gao Yongsheng held the cue with one hand and took out the pipe with the other. He stood on the grass and said, "Today, I asked you to play, not to stand guard."

"yes!"

"Sir!"

He Dingxian put down his arm, took the club honestly, and weighed it in his hand. He knew that he could hold it firmly without knocking it over.

Gao Yongsheng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Although Gui Lao's stuff is boring, learning another craft will always come in handy. After all, Gao Qiu can become the palace commander... not to mention that Hong Kong Island is dominated by Gui Lao. Let’s play ball for work and make the ghost happy, maybe the brothers can share some more money.”

"Sir, you are right." He Dingxian replied seriously, just to give the chief face, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Gao Yongsheng probably also knew that his subordinates were not interested in preaching, so he turned around and handed the pipe to Jiang Zuhui and continued to play two shots.

It is worth mentioning that his golf skills are poor and every ball flies randomly.

He Dingxin could tell that this guy didn't like playing golf either. He came to the golf course just to practice, maybe just to play with the ghost guy and practice his skills.

Half an hour later, Gao Yongsheng sat on a chair on the green lawn, put down his clubs, took a sip of mineral water, and said loudly: "Axian, when Brother Mu introduced you to me, I thought you were just ruthless. , you are courageous, I never thought that your brain would be more useful.”

"Some people like their subordinates to be brainless and dare to fight hard. Some people like their subordinates to be clever and eye-catching. I prefer my subordinates to do things smoothly."

He paused and said sharply: "This thing about you is very satisfying to me."

"Thank you, sir." He Dingxian sat next to him and replied quickly.

Gao Yongsheng said: "Think well and do well. It won't work if you only think but don't do things."

"Axian, if I can handle the above matters, are you willing to lead the brothers to give it a try?"

He Dingxian's expression was calm, everything was expected, and he solemnly said: "Okay!"

"Okay, let's start with the money business in Wan Chai District. Give it a try according to your plan. If you can accomplish the first step, the second step and the third step will all be led by you."

Gao Yongsheng made very good conditions: "In the future, your name will be resounding throughout Hong Kong and Macao!"

The meaning is self-evident.

He Dingxian responded with a smile: "Thank you sir for your cultivation."

"Hey." Gao Yongsheng waved his hand and said sincerely: "If you can sit next to me, then you are one of our own people, and your own people should support you without hesitation. Besides, you are so capable. To be honest, similar thoughts It’s always been in my head.”

"It's just that I'm probably used to sticking to the old rules and don't dare to break out. I always feel that the time is not right and I need some help. I don't have such a specific plan."

"It wasn't until Ah Fai called me to tell me that I suddenly realized that the time had come a long time ago!"

In history, nothing happens overnight. The emergence of a new order in the world is due to internal causes of the times. It is impossible that no one would have thought of it.

The Chinese force in the police force expanded, Hong Kong Island's economy soared, associations came ashore, shipping dividends were gained, and flour replaced smoke and entered Hong Kong Island.

Gui Lao's fear of the situation on the peninsula, the collusion and contradictions between law enforcement agencies, all are internal causes, but one is not enough, and together they will reshape the rules!

It's just that because the Chaoshan Gang is so powerful and ranks first in the police force, it is ultimately the Chaoshan Gang who stand out and lead the police force to establish order.

And because He Dingxian is more famous, popular, and favored by Inspector Zonghua, if there is no He Dingxian, there will be Lei Luo, and if there is no Lei Luo, there will be others. If there is no Chaoshan Gang, Dongguan Gang, Wuyi Gang, they can come and do it!

However, the Chaoshan Gang has seized the dividends of the times and grown rapidly, and will eventually become the dominant faction in the police force.

He Dingxian heard the words and praised: "The officer is holding up the sky for the brothers, so he naturally feels that the burden on his shoulders is heavy and he does not dare to move easily."

"Unlike me, I live my life in the world and dare to do anything."

Gao Yongsheng smiled and said: "This is your character. I think you'd better get married as soon as possible."

Jiang Zuhui smiled knowingly.

Gao Yongsheng added: "When we meet in private in the future, you can just call me Brother Sheng. I am different from that old man Liu Fu. I am only in my early forties and will not become a father so soon."

"I know, Brother Sheng." He Dingxian replied.

"I think according to your plan, Gui Lao will definitely not lose face to me, because everyone will benefit. At the beginning, it was an industry in Wan Chai District to test the water. Neither the society nor the big shots were touched. If it cannot be implemented, it will be punished. I can do it with my hands.”

"You lack understanding of the upper levels. In fact, a Wan Chai director is not qualified to sit down and talk with the Finance Bureau and the Food Bureau. After all, those two departments are relatively powerful." Gao Yongsheng crossed his legs, shook his pipe, and said : "I will ask the Assistant Director to come and negotiate in person. Even if we can't reach an agreement, there will be enough time for you to operate."

"It's just that the main business is easy to say. In the future, the number of side business stalls to be set up on a street must be planned. While giving a meal to other rural communities, the brothers of the Chaoshan Gang must be well fed." Gao Yongsheng is worthy of his words. He is the representative of the Chaoshan Gang, and he is very concerned about the interests of the Chaoshan Gang, and even side businesses.

"I understand. When it comes to stalls, we focus on fellow villagers and can also gain support from fellow townspeople's associations. When we set the rules, other associations will not dare to speak." He Dingxian said aloud.

Gao Yongsheng said with a slight nod: "That's how I think about it. When you go out to work, you must know how to unite. When you deal with ghosts, you call on the Chinese to unite. When you want to steal business, your fellow villagers must unite."

In fact, there is one thing that has not been mentioned, that is, once the rules of the Jianghu are reestablished, the Chaoshan Gang will expand the power of the Jianghu, and at the same time, the positive momentum of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce will reap dividends.

The bosses of the Chamber of Commerce will not rely on the gangsters to fight and kill, but with the support of people, it will be much easier to do all kinds of business. As long as there are fewer people looking for trouble, the financial path will naturally follow.

If the plan can be implemented, there will definitely be support from the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.

Gao Yongsheng turned around and said: "Ah Hui, during this period, let each police station submit the accounts of previous years for statistics. The number of stalls in each street and the territory of the club must be clarified again."

"No problem." Jiang Zuhui nodded quickly.

Gao Yongsheng added: "Also, take out the gift I gave to A-yin."

Jiang Zuhui smiled and turned around to leave the stadium. He took out a wooden box from a cabinet in the lounge. He Dingxian really didn't expect there was a gift. When Brother Hui came back with the wooden box and handed it to him, he was a little surprised.

"Open it and take a look." Gao Yongsheng asked with raised eyebrows.

He Dingxian opened the wooden box on the spot. Inside was a high-end tobacco pipe made of heather root. The lines were smooth and evenly proportioned. The cigarette holder was decorated with agate and the details were outlined with patterns. There was also a bag of tobacco wrapped next to the wooden box. You could tell at a glance. High-end goods are coming.

The shape and material of this pipe are exactly the same as those used by Inspector Zonghua.

He Dingxian was slightly surprised, then closed the wooden box and said loudly: "Thank you, Brother Sheng!"

Gao Yongsheng smiled nonchalantly: "I heard that you smoke, so you took out the collection at home and worked hard. When it comes to setting rules, the entire Wan Chai embassy is your fault!"

"Ah Hui, cooperate well with Ah Xian."

Jiang Zuhui immediately responded: "Yes, sir!"

The update of 10,000 words is over, let’s start coding for tomorrow.

Junzai really didn't save the manuscript. When he woke up in the morning, he felt comfortable and still had a headache.
