History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 336 The king sees the king

Two days later.

nine in the morning.

Dafeng Bank.

Many office workers in suits and handbags lined up in front of the counter to handle business.

Some citizens dressed in different clothes, wearing white shirts, slippers, and old neighbors with big pants, blocked the entrance of the stairs and waited to go upstairs.

Qiu De went through the crowd, came to the stairs, bowed and said: "Boss, the seat has been bought, and you can meet Representative He when you go upstairs and downstairs."

"Thank you."

He Dingxian was dressed in a high-end suit and tie, formally dressed.Several bodyguards with guns on their waists looked around vigilantly, vaguely protecting the big boss in the middle.

Qiu De led the big boss up to the second floor, and changed places with a nodding and bowing Haojiang citizen.

"next."

A male secretary pushed open the wooden door of the office, sent out a citizen who came to report the matter, and shouted loudly to the long line.

"it's me."

He Dingxian raised his right hand, agreed aloud, and hurried up.

The male secretary was wearing glasses and was a little surprised when he saw his attire. He nodded immediately and led him into the office without saying a word.There is a sign hanging at the door of the office, which says the office of He Xian, the representative of Haojiang Chinese.

The signboard is simple and elegant, but the long queues make the signboard majestic and majestic.

He Dingxian paid more attention to the brand, secretly liked it in his heart, and wanted to set up one in the future!
At the same time, He Xian in the room was wearing a suit, square-frame glasses, and combing his hair back. He looked very energetic, but his smile was kind and friendly. When he saw someone entering the door, he immediately got up and waved to welcome him, without the momentum of a Chinese boss.

The entire office area is small, enough to arrange a desk and a bookcase, which can be completed in ten steps.

He Dingxian sat on a wooden chair, the secretary immediately closed the door, and took notes with a notebook.

He Xian waved his hands and said, "Ayong, make a cup of tea for Mr."

"it is good."

The secretary went to make tea.

He Xian smiled and looked at the opposite side, without any intention of asking. After half a minute, after the secretary served tea, He Dingxian had no choice but to take the initiative to say: "It's a pleasure to meet you on behalf of He. I'm an investor from Hong Kong Island. Businessman, I hope representative He can help me with some things."

"Big boss."

He Xian smiled and said: "The people who come to me are all poor neighbors, fish sellers, and you look unusual. Apart from gambling, there is no factory worth investing in in Haojiang. The door is in trouble."

"Sorry, no reception."

He Dingxian shook his head: "I have a bank on Hong Kong Island, and I want to open an office in Haojiang to operate some financial projects, but I have been harassed by the local community forces. I wonder if Representative He can help?"

He Xian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and thought about it: "He sir, I didn't expect you to come to the office to find me, so it's hard for me to refuse you. Tell me, what do you want to do?"

His local news in Haojiang is very well-informed, and the identity of the visitor can be confirmed by just a few words of the bank's semicolon.

"My request is very simple. First, I want Mr. Gao Kening to come forward to apologize for killing my six brothers. There must be compensation. Second, let Oriental Bank open in Haojiang." He Dingxian took a sip Tea, holding the cup, chuckled: "Oriental Bank will definitely sell all legal financial products, including pawns and credit, but in return, it can open a new business with Mr. Fu and Mr. Gao."

"Set up an auction company in Haojiang."

He Xian looked surprised, and said: "Since Mr. He is confident, why do you still come to me? If the auction company's business starts, it will make a lot of money. Mr. Gao is willing to promise that he doesn't need me as a middleman at all."

"Because I want to find the place for my brothers."

He Dingxian responded with a smile: "Those who beat me, they beat me for nothing. They always need someone famous enough to testify."

"Representative He is the best person."

He Xian smiled bitterly and said, "Thanks to Mr. He, we will have dinner together at Antai Restaurant at twelve o'clock at noon."

"Mr. Fu and Mr. Gao will be there."

He Dingxian nodded: "Thank you, Representative He, for building the bridge. Let's not disturb Representative He's work, see you at noon."

"See you at noon."

He Xian got up and raised his hand to see him off. The secretary opened the door and called the next citizen.

He Dingxian took up a little time for the reception of the Chinese representatives, and every extra second was actually unfair to the Haojiang Chinese.Although most of the people who look for representative He every day are nonsense, but maybe there is something important?

It is enough to come to the door for a few questions for legitimate reasons and get an answer.

He Xian packed up his emotions and continued to receive the next citizen. He took a rest until ten o'clock after receiving the last one, picked up the notebook in the secretary's hand, and checked the consultations received today.Among them, most of them can be resolved by the people below, and a few of them involve policies and public works, such as adding water pipes, electricity bills are too expensive, etc., you need to go out and contact the authorities in person.The reason why he won the support of the Chinese in Haojiang was because, as a representative of the Chinese, he really knew how to do things for the Chinese.

Although a lot of hard work does not necessarily lead to results, but for the citizens, he has echoes in everything.After the matter is completed, what is the result and what is the procedure, I personally write letters to the citizens one by one.

But today He Dingxian came to visit in person, which really made him feel tricky, because he knew too well the Chinese boss in Hong Kong Island, who was a letter difference from him, and recently heard that the other party was elected as the vice president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce.It can be said that with a wave of arms, more than 30 Chaoshan people will work for him!
"Come to the office to look for me on purpose, but you have to get me involved. This brother named He is really thick-skinned." He Xian lit a cigarette, took a puff, exhaled and said: "Call Taixing Entertainment Company, put Explain the matter clearly to Mr. Fu and Mr. Gao, no matter what, you must come to eat the lunch at noon."

"Understood, Mr. He."

The male secretary answered with a bow and left the office.

frontage.

A tea house.

He Dingxian ordered a table of refreshments, ordered a pot of Pu'er, and asked Qiu Degeng, Azi, Lan Gang, and Ni Kun to sit down together.Lan Gang used to work as an inspector in Wanchai, and later transferred to Tsuen Wan as the chief inspector. Now he is transferred to the Operation Department as a senior inspector. His main job is to take a few brothers and follow the boss.

"Hurry up and eat." He Dingxian poured a row of five cups of tea, turned the disc, and distributed the tea cups to his brothers, saying: "Take people across the sea to Haojiang to negotiate with local snakes. I am always afraid that I will not be able to eat. Full, fill your stomach first."

"Only at noon have the strength to lift the table."

Qiu Degeng, Azi, Lan Gang and the others picked up the cups and smiled as they drank the tea.

"Ha ha."

"Boss, don't waste food."

The rest of the brothers opened a table beside them and ate on their own.

He Dingxian picked up a red bean paste bun, took a bite, and sighed: "There are more than a dozen Chinese representatives in Haojiang, and Fu Laorong and Gao Kening are actually Chinese representatives, but He Xian alone opened an office and worked regularly in the studio. Receive Chinese citizens."

"It is not surprising that a person who is willing to work for the Chinese is admired by the Chinese. No wonder he can come from behind and become the most trusted person between the Chinese and the authorities."

Many of the bigwigs on Hong Kong Island have a relationship with the authorities, either as economic compradors or political compradors.

It is very difficult to come up with someone who can truly speak for the Chinese.

He Xian stands very high!
It's not surprising that he's doing well.

Qiu Degeng said: "I heard from my friends that Representative He previously established a Huilong bank in Guangdong Province, mainly for stock and gold business. At first, the business was booming, but because of the war, the exchange in Guangcheng directly closure."

"He came to Haojiang to take refuge with the refugees. Relying on his previous experience, he went to work in Taifeng Bank and helped Dafeng earn a lot of money through gold speculation. He is now the manager of Dafeng Bank."

"In order to win him over, Fu Laorong no longer participates in the operation, and waits for the dividend."

Interestingly, the person who founded Huilong Bank together with He Xian in Guangdong Province was the founder of Hong Kong Island Hang Seng Bank "He Shanheng".One of the two business friends went to Hong Kong Island, and the other fled to Haojiang, and both made a fortune in their respective territories.

And 20 years later, when Tai Fung Bank was registered as a bank, He Xian was already the chairman and the largest shareholder of Tai Fung Bank, while Fu Laorong was blown away by the wind and was no longer as heroic as before.However, the reason why He Xian was able to become a pivotal figure in Haojiang was due to a financial incident, that is, after the fall of Hong Kong Island, a large amount of silver flowed out of Hong Kong Island, and many Hong Kong Island businessmen transferred their assets to Haojiang to avoid danger.

As a result, the currency of the Haojiang authorities was not enough. In the past, it was printed in Portugal and transported to Haojiang by freighter, which could not pass the Japanese naval blockade.In the case of insufficient currency, He Xian proposed an emergency self-printed currency to the Board of Directors of Atlantic Bank.

The Bank of Atlantic was under the jurisdiction of the Economic Bureau, and the news reached Paul, the director of the Economic Bureau, and after meeting with He Xian, he adopted his suggestion.This wave of emergency self-printed currency reforms allowed the Haojiang authorities to suck up the capital of Hong Kong Island during the more than three years of the fall of Hong Kong Island, and made a considerable development for Haojiang.

You must know that Haojiang is a small Hong Kong island, both in terms of population growth and geographical history, etc., are extremely similar, and the geographical location is extremely close.Under the premise of the safety of Hong Kong Island, most people would choose a bigger and better developed Hong Kong Island, but when Hong Kong Island fell, Haojiang became the transfer destination of capital.

This incident caused He Xian to be cited by Paul as his confidant, which can be said to be a step into the upper class.

Later, He Xian and Paul jointly established a "He'an" company. When Hong Kong Island fell and traffic was cut off, the world's gold could only be transported to the mainland and Southeast Asia through Haojiang.Afterwards, He'an Company also obtained the "Gold Specialty" license issued by the Economic Bureau, which led to the fact that in more than three years, half of Asia, gold trading, was the only one, and there was no other semicolon.

In the past three years, He Xian has taken off completely and accumulated a fortune of tens of thousands, which is not inferior to that of Fu Laorong and Gao Kening.And because he is a business partner with the head of the Economic Bureau, he has more face than the two in the eyes of the authorities.

During those three years or so, the gold industry in Haojiang flourished, and gold smuggling in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia flourished.As long as you dare to bet your life on whether the Japanese naval guns have bullets, you can earn hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars with a single shipment of gold!

Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang and other gold companies developed during this period, especially "Shark Gallbladder" is the most famous.

Now He Xian has participated in many businesses, but he is still slightly inferior to Fu Laorong in terms of industry.

After all, Fu Laorong has an entertainment company as a cash cow, and the speed of industry penetration is extremely fast.

He can't be called the "King of Haojiang" yet, but he already has the strength of a "big brother of Haojiang". He is really only short of becoming the "King of Haojiang" in the fight for the Chinese and forcing the Haojiang authorities to apologize! "He Dingxian in Hong Kong Island, He Dingxian in Haojiang", this sentence is not for nothing!
"Fu Laorong is an old gambler. He used to gamble under the hands of warlords. He only had money in his eyes. He is not on the same level as Representative He." He Dingxian said, "I still appreciate my big brother more."
