Rebirth: Outstanding

"Mr. Su, I heard that silver ornaments ward off evil spirits, jade town houses, golden prosperity, peach wood auspiciousness, you dragon tortoise, gold, silver, jade and wood are all available in all four materials. It is no wonder that you have walked the rivers and lakes all your life like walking on the ground, and you are in danger. "Liao Jingxuan, in a black tunic suit, gently stroked the dragon tortoise ornaments on the Duobao Pavilion in the living room with his gloved left hand, turning his head back to the side and wiping away his cold sweat, Su Wenting said with a smile.

Su Wenting swallowed, looked at the hairpins of the rings on the coffee table, and said with a vibrato: "Mr. Liao, I..."

Liao Jingxuan made a shut-up gesture to the other party, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't worry, you don't need to explain, I know it's none of your business, Mr. Lin asked me to see you, just want to know who is the person who saw you, let You have made it clear what you have done and what you have told you, and I will naturally not mess with you, Mr. Su."

"Mr. Lin Xiaoqia saw me and asked me to help the Lin family. We have been with the Lin family for many years. Mr. Lin Xiaoqia asked me to do things. Of course I have to do my best, but my people have never done anything in Macau, and no one has disclosed the news." Su Wenting Wiping the sweat on his forehead with his hand: "Mr. Liao, it's no good for his wife and children, I..."

"Don’t worry, Mr. Su, let people go to see your wife and children. It’s my own initiative. Mr. Lin doesn’t know. I’m worried that Mr. Su may have made a mistake. You really did something you shouldn’t do. Do it in advance. It’s just a precaution. Now that the matter is clear, it’s really none of your business. I promise you my wife and children are safe." Liao Jingxuan turned to face Su Wenting, opened his hands towards him and said with a smile: "You are Say, Lin Xiaoqia, Mr. Lin has met you, and told you that he had contact with a little headless guy next to Song Tianyao?"

Until now, Su Wenting's legs are still trembling unconsciously. Hearing Liao Jingxuan's question, he nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Lin Xiao Qialin told me."

Liao Jingxuan walked to Su Wenting, took out Dunhill's cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it to Su Wenting's mouth, and lit the other party with a silver-plated lighter, and he also took a cigarette in his mouth: " Mr. Lin said that those who don’t know what happened before are not guilty. The Lin family let you do things, and you have no choice. But from now on, you have to know what to do. You don’t want to just ask you from the Lin family and do things."

The cigarette in Su Wenting's mouth was shaking, and his face was squeezed with a wry smile: "Know, know, no matter who the Lin family asks me to help in the future, I must first notify you, Mr. Liao, and wait for you to give me an answer."

"Arranged a few missions to surrender to Macau for the dead ghosts, saying that they lost the gambling in Macau. They borrowed money from Mr. Lin Xiyuan and Mr. Lin Xishen, and were collected by the two. They had no money to pay the bills for a while, and they were malicious in their hearts. Killed two people." Liao Jingxuan lowered his head to light the cigarette, closed the lighter with a snap, looked up at Su Wenting and said.

Su Wenting nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

The Liao Jingxuan in front of him cannot be offended. This is Lin Xiaohe’s confidant. It is said that Lin Xiaohe was a security officer who was in charge of security work with him for many years when he was a diplomat in the Kuomintang. After Lin Xiaohe resigned and returned to Hong Kong, this Liao Jingxuan was also caught. Lin Xiaohe also brought to Hong Kong. Compared with the loyal Lin family servant Bing Shu, the Liao Jingxuan in front of him is more disturbed. At least Bing has never threatened him with his family, but this Liao Jingxuan has been with him today. When I met myself, the gifts I sent were the necklaces and rings of my own women and the belongings of my children. It seemed that as long as he said something wrong, Su Wenting would prepare the whole family to die.

This is not a quack trick at all. Su Wenting can face many quack people impassioned and fearless on his face, but he dare not say a word of nonsense to such people.

"Then don't bother Mr. Su, take your rest, and Jingxuan will leave first. Today I was reckless and impolite. In the future, I will personally make amends to several ladies and young masters." Liao Jingxuan spit out a smoke ring and arched towards Su Wenting quite chicly. Handed over, turned around and walked out of the living room.

Su Wenting didn't have the energy to go out to see him off again, and he sat down on the chair of the teacher, panting heavily.

There seems to be something wrong with the Lin family? In the past, Lin Xiaoqiao’s subordinates or Lin Xiaoqiao himself came forward. Why did Lin Xiaohe let his confidant Liao Jingxuan come over today and ask him clearly what Lin Xiaoqiao had in contact with him? What if Lin Xiaohe directly asked Lin Xiaoqia about this kind of thing? Is there something dirty between the Lin family brothers?

Don’t stay in Hong Kong during this period of time. Go out to hide and stay safe, lest the Lin family's internal chaos affects you. It is pitiful to say that you are a dignified and comfortable boss, a famous figure in the world, but in the eyes of these big people, it is just a call. The dog that was called, of course, is like this by Lin Xizhen's side and the Japanese's side. To this day, with white hair, it is still like this in front of Lin Xiao and Lin Xiaoqi.

Didn’t Zheng Zhizhong from Malaysia say that he was going to invite some big guys from Heanle to Malaysia to see his yellow arsenic factory? I just took this opportunity to go to Malaysia to avoid the limelight, and by the way, to see if this Zheng Zhizhong's business is really as big as he said, far away from right and wrong.

...

"Sister Chun..." Lu Rongfang sat at her large dining table and smiled and said to Lu Yuanchun who was on the opposite side: "I use several of my big houses as collateral, and borrow money from your Guangyi Bank to give me money. No?"

Lu Yuanchun was sipping the Polygonatum lily and quail soup made by the old servant of Lu Rongkang and Lu Rongfang's half-servant and half-servant Ping's wife. At this time, she heard Lu Rongfang's words, and she hadn't spoken yet. Lu Rongfang's eldest brother Lu Rongkang was already on the table. First look at his brother:

"What the **** are you doing? Don't you have two or three million yuan in your hand? Besides, even if you use the money, you still talk to me, why would you bother Yuanchun?"

Lu Rongkang is much older than Lu Rongfang. The eldest brother is like a father. It can be said that the two brothers came to Hong Kong from Malaysia. It was completely Lu Rongkang playing in Hong Kong. It was not easy to pull Lu Rongfang with one hand. He opened his mouth. Lu Rongfang's smiley face immediately reduced his expression, lowered his head and whispered:

"Borrowed money to go to the stock market for a round, I have inside information."

"You don't think about opportunistic things. Can you concentrate on doing some legitimate business?" Lu Rongkang frowned, looking helplessly at his jumping brother: "Look at Yuanchun, one year younger than your Zhong, already a career Achievement."

Lu Yuanchun put down the spoon in his hand and said with a smile to Lu Rongkang: "Brother Rongkang, Brother Rongfang is right. He needs money and he should borrow from the bank. Moreover, he is not empty-mouthed, he is planning to use the property as a mortgage. , This will also be criticized by you?"

When Lu Rongkang next to him heard Lu Yuanchun speak for himself, he immediately raised his head to look at his elder brother: "Now, sister Chun said that I did the right thing, borrow money..."

Halfway through, when he saw Lu Rongkang glaring at himself, he immediately lowered his head and whispered to the end of the following words: "Borrow the money, it's not that you don't pay it back."

"I mean you shouldn’t think about opportunistic gains all day long. If the world’s money is so profitable, there won’t be so many poor people. Isn’t it good to do business steadily? Do you think about unrealistic ideas all day long? It’s very free, so I came to a trading company to help me. It just happens to be summer. I need someone to go to Thailand to help me keep an eye on the local fruit business." , Why bother to Yuanchun, Guangyi Bank is in Malaysia and does not have a branch in Hong Kong. Do you have to wait for Yuanchun to go to Malaysia to help you deal with it? I don't know what you think anymore, no matter how much you talk about it, I will arrange you to go to the Philippines to do things for me. "

The meaning hidden in these words, Lu Rongfang and Lu Yuanchun have already heard, Lu Rongkang does not want his two brothers to have any connection with the Malaysian Lu family.

Lu Yuanchun lowered her head and paused for a moment. When she raised her head again, she still had a faint smile on her face: "I know what Brother Rongkang said, and I want to tell me. Brother Fang, you two were forced to come to Hong Kong to make a living on your own. It was my father and several uncles who fought for the Lu family property. However, they already had retribution. So many properties left by my grandfather have now been let them do it. When it comes time to be taken away by outsiders, let me say this, Brother Rong Kang, will you feel more comfortable in your heart."

"My grandfather's industry has nothing to do with our two brothers. We just want to live in Hong Kong." Lu Rongkang said to Lu Yuanchun earnestly: "You are here to participate in Hong Kong University to build a bronze statue and a memorial clock tower for your grandfather. We ate, ate, and chatted together. It was already very good. As for other things in the Lu family, I don’t want to ask, I don’t have the ability, and I don’t have the mind to intervene."

Lu Rongkang, Lu Rongfang, Lu Yuanchun, the grandfather of the three people are Lu You, Lu You and Cheng Kah Kee, Huang Wenhu, and Hu Zhonghan who are famous in the Malaysian Chinese community. In the early twentieth century, they were called the four kings of Southeast Asian Chinese.

But in fact, when the other three Chinese tycoons were just ignorant of children, Lu You had become a godfather-like figure of the Malayan Chinese. The four heavenly kings are just legends for later generations. Strictly speaking, only four people are here. The influence of the other three people, even Cheng Jiageng, on the area at their peak was much inferior to Lu You.

Lu You's life is quite legendary. His surname was Huang. His father died of illness when he was born. When he was five years old, his mother died. At six years old, his sister who depended on each other also died of frailty and overwork. Only Lu You became an orphan, and the villagers pity Lu You. , Introduced Lu You to a local landlord named Lu Xian, signed a deed to work for the Lu family, changed Huang’s surname to Lu, and named Lu You, because Lu You is smarter and more mature than other children of the same age. Observing his words, he was quite fond of Lu Xian. He took Lu You as a slave. He was regarded as Lu Xian’s half son. When Lu You was thirteen years old, he helped Lu You and Zhang Luo marry a child bride, but Lu You worked in Lu’s family. Long-term labor, too little wages, and now having a child-raising wife, it is even more difficult to make ends meet. When Lu You was desperate and felt that he was going to be poor for the rest of his life, he happened to be favored by a pigletter who sold Chinese laborer piglets. The pigletter saw 14 The year-old Lu Yousheng has a strong figure and offered to lend Lu You money so that Lu You can redeem him, and then take him to Malaya to work as a miner to make money.

At that time, the British colonial government needed a lot of cheap labor in order to accelerate the development of Malaya’s resources, so through Hong Kong foreign firms, shipping companies and compradors, etc., they provided generous remuneration and sent piglet traders to go to Guangzhou, Shantou, Xiamen and nearby towns. Relying on pigletters' scheming and bluffing, they used tricks and even kidnapping to rob Chinese workers to work in Malaya.

For sixty yuan, Lu You sold himself to a piglet dealer, and used twenty yuan to hand it to the landlord Lu Xian, which was regarded as a ransom of the deed. After paying the fare for the ferry to Malaya for ten yuan, there was not much left. Lu You almost traveled across the ocean and arrived in Malaya with only a few coins in his pocket.

Most of the piglets basically entered the mine, and it was difficult to get out. Lu You is also lucky. He is smart, bright-headed, and has been a long-term worker since he was a child. He has worked hard in the mine for three years and completed the contract. After the time limit, he was actually spotted by the supervising foreman. He did not directly change the contract and leave him in the mine forever. Instead, after the contract was over, Lu You was introduced to work in a tobacco and alcohol firm at the foreman’s home. Three years of work is naturally different from three years of a miner. Tobacco and alcohol firms deal with British people all day long. Lu You took the opportunity to learn some English and saved up all his poor wages. Through the British people he met, he took the opportunity to interact with a few. My fellow townspeople borrowed money to pool money together and opened a small tobacco and alcohol business in a joint venture with the British.

After opening a tobacco and alcohol business for three years, Lu You started to have other thoughts after he had accumulated two or three thousand latcoins in his hand. The most profitable thing in Malaya was the mining business. He heard that the Lalu area is rich in minerals. So I handed over the shares of the tobacco and alcohol business to my fellow townsmen, took some cash, and went to Lalu alone to find opportunities to invest in the mining business.

As a result, after he arrived at Lalu, Lu You realized that things were not as simple as he thought. Lalu is indeed rich in minerals, but there are also many Chinese. The local Chinese are divided into two big gangs and compete for mine business. One is the Yixing Triad, and the other is the Yixing Triad. It is Haishan Jiande Hall. 100% of the Chinese who come to Lalu have to choose to stand in line. There is no third option. In this area, the vendettas of the Chinese gangs are not controlled. Every day, the two big gangs will have **** incidents due to various events. , And at every turn, it’s a battle of hundreds of people. If you don’t join one of them, the two big gangs will find trouble from outsiders at the same time. In desperation, Lu You chose to join the Yixing Triad, and did not dare to say that he was carrying Those who came to Laru with cash and wanted to invest in the mining business only said that they had learned to cook and wanted to find a job here.

At that time, the gang was still loyal to its members. Lu You wanted to find a job. The gang helped him find a job as a cook and purchaser in a tin mine. Lu You saw it clearly after joining the gang a few months later. Only the big figures in the two big Chinese gangs are qualified to partner with the British in the mining business in this area, otherwise, even if the outsiders have money in their pockets, they will end up being robbed of sheep.

Knowing the reality, Lu You almost gave his life to fight. When the gang had something to do, he took the lead and tried his best to accumulate wealth through purchases. After five years of fighting in the gang, Lu You was ruthless and fierce enough, and understood English and The local British communicated and succeeded in gaining power. At only twenty-five years old, he became a tycoon of the Yixing Triad in the Lalu area. The wealth in his hands was finally barely enough to invest in the mining business. In 1872, Lu You’s The mine officially opened. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In 1873, the Yixing Triad and Haishan Jiandetang broke out in the biggest **** conflict in several years. Thousands of people from both sides broke out in various villages and towns in Lalu. Nearly a thousand members of Haishan Jiande Hall rushed in and destroyed them. All the mining equipment and houses were set on fire. The miners were either hacked and injured, or fled in the chaos.

The conflict lasted for several months and several mines in the Laru area were paralyzed. Finally, the local resident officer of the British colonial government personally interviewed the two major Chinese gangs to mediate, and it came to an end.

However, although the dispute ceased, Luyou's business also came to an end. Just as Luyou was frustrated and preparing to leave the Laru area, the British resident in Perak, where Laru belonged, was assassinated by the Malayan indigenous people. The British colonial government was furious and dispatched. A large number of British troops were stationed in Perak to suppress the indigenous people. The British troops needed food and payment locally. Lu You seized the opportunity, relying on his knowledge of English and his status as a gang, to get a contract to supply food and payment for the British troops. Relying on this contract , Lu You, who seized the opportunity, made the first large sum of money, a full 50,000 rad coins.

With this money, in Perak, which was stabilized by the British army, Lu You immediately partnered with others to open a mine again, and the business was booming. In half a year, his wealth expanded from 50,000 yuan to 150,000 yuan, which tripled. , But then the price of tin plummeted, and Lu You's 150,000 yuan lost little.

Fortunately, he has a relationship with the British army. He put his few thousand dollars left in the Perak garrison officer and won the contract for the taxation of the Kandingwen area of ​​Perak. Later, as the price of tin rebounded and the tax was contracted, Lu You’s wealth has skyrocketed again. As of 1981, Lu You’s wealth was nearly 500,000 rad dollars. He was 36 years old and was sold as a piglet to Malaya from 14 years old. , Became the leading figure among the Chinese in Gandingwen area.

In 1982, Twenty-three years after Lu You left home, he withdrew the mine shares in exchange for cash and returned to his hometown. The daughter-in-law of the year was still waiting for him to return. Lu You stayed in his hometown for four years before deciding to return to Malaysia. I came to Asia to continue doing business. At that time, men went abroad and few people brought their families. In the past four years, their wives were not pregnant and worried about their loneliness. Lu You bought a baby for his wife, and then he paid to set up a family business in Guangzhou, the provincial capital, to recruit. A group of reliable workers and servants left a sum of money for their wives to rely on, and only then went to Malaya for the second time.

This time, Lu You did not go to Singapore and Gan Tingwen, but went to Kuala Lumpur to develop. Now he has a wealth of wealth. With money, he met the most powerful British resident in Kuala Lumpur. At that time, the Kuala Lumpur fire happened and most of the city was destroyed. , A hundred waste waiting to be rejuvenated, and reconstruction is urgently needed. The British commissioned Lu You to recruit Chinese workers to build Kuala Lumpur. At that time, the piglet Lu You became the piglet trader Lu You, and since then he has completely begun to really make his mark.

Relying on his good relationship with the British, Lu You is not only involved in Chinese industry, opium, tobacco and alcohol, tin mining, but also the contracted tax business of the four states. It is only the tax of the four states every year. Lu You's wealth is no less than 5 million latcoins.

By 1896, one-third of the residential buildings in Kuala Lumpur belonged to Luyou, and all the opium business in Kuala Lumpur belonged to Luyou. The gambling, tobacco, and liquor licenses of several states in Malaya were also held in Luyou. In your hand, gambling licenses, tobacco licenses, liquor licenses, these do not refer to a simple business license of an opium restaurant, casino, but a franchise, representing the entire state that only Luyou can legally open a winery, opium factory, casino, and others want to open it. Opium halls, casinos, and liquor sales must be approved by Lu You, and Lu You was appointed as a member of the Selangor State Councillor and a member of the Health Bureau. He became a social celebrity in Malaya and was highly regarded by British officials in the colonial government. He was in Selangor. He owns 20,000 acres of land, and among the large number of mines he has acquired through annexation in various regions, there are more than 100,000 miners working for Lu You.

In 1897, Lu You signed a contract with the British colonial government to build a road project from Kuala Lumpur to Bentong, Pahang. The colonial government provided Lu You with preferential terms and allocated 4,000 acres of mines in Bentong to him, free of charge. Eleven years of mine tax.

Even because there were too many workers under Lu You, after applying to the government, Lu You issued a bank note and used the printed bank note as a banknote to pay the workers as a salary. The worker could use this bank note under Lu You's name. In his business, he uses banknotes to buy anything, such as tobacco, alcohol, opium, gold, food, clothes, vegetables, and even real estate. In many parts of Malaya, the banknotes issued by Luyou are more popular than the banknotes issued by the government.

At the time of Lu You's death, his businesses in Malaya included tax contracting, tin mining, real estate, planting rubber, coconut, coffee, coal, shipping, trading, engineering, gold mining, automobile agency, finance, stocks, etc. And so on, covering almost all industries in Malaya.

At the peak of Lu You, the Chinese in Malaya were divided into three categories, those who worked for Lu You, and those waiting to work for Lu You, Lu You.
