Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

18 Kennedy Road, Wan Chai, Hong Kong Island, the site of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce.

In the earliest days, it was the place where Du Yuesheng, a tycoon from Shanghai, stayed after he fled to Hong Kong.

At that time, outside the Du Mansion in Hong Kong, there were rows of cars and heads of people. Countless Hong Kong tycoons and celebrities, including ghosts from the British Hong Kong government, all came to visit this legendary generation of youth tycoons.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and the original "Du Mansion", which was full of traffic, has become the current "Guangdong Chamber of Commerce" hall. It is not the Shanghai people who are full of "God", but the Cantonese people who are full of "inner monkeys".

In fact, there are many business clubs in Hong Kong. The most famous one is the "Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce" that Shi Zhijian once joined. Many Hong Kong bigwigs are regulars of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, such as financial tycoon Liao Wenlei, business tycoon Li Jiacheng and so on.

Compared with the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce nominally covers a wider area, but compared to the "Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce", which focuses on real estate, department stores, and industry, the composition of this "Guangdong Chamber of Commerce" is mostly engaged in Financial play stocks!

Therefore, the people of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce look down on the people from the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, thinking that they are all "land boys" who rely on shoveling the land to get money; the people of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce also look down on the people of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, thinking that they are playing with stocks. The "paper boy" of money.

At this moment, the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce is holding its annual election meeting.

Seeing that the new year is approaching, everyone has to elect a new chairman of the chamber of commerce to lead everyone to make a fortune in the financial market.

Most of those who have the right to vote are members of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. Everyone has a net worth of at least one million, and the one with the smallest career is also the overlord of the grain and oil side of Hong Kong. For example, Shi Zhijian's old friend "Bi Fafa".

Bi Da has made a lot of money with Shi Zhijian in the past few years, but seeing that Shi Zhijian makes more and more money, the speed is like that of a monkey, and he is worth hundreds of millions in just a few years, but he, an old grain and oil merchant in Hong Kong, is still only rich. Just millions, which made him extremely unbalanced.

So at the instigation of his friends, Bifa started to play with stocks and often went to and from places like the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

And because he is from Cantonese himself, he joined the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce directly after coming and going. Usually, everyone gets together to drink tea and share stock news, and he made a lot of money.

Bifa was looking up at the election polls when he suddenly felt someone put a hand on his shoulder.

Bifa immediately pouted and said unhappily, "Dude, do you know that it's a bad life to ride on someone's shoulder?" Turning his head, Bifa was stunned, "Why are you, Mr. Shi?"

Shi Zhijian appeared beside Bi Fa with a smile.

"Isn't it me? I heard that you joined the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce and it seems true, I saw you as soon as I came!" Shi Zhijian smiled and took out a cigarette and handed it to Bi Fa.

Bifa was flattered.

If it was said that Bifa assisted Shi Zhijian three years ago, and provided Shi Zhijian with the grain and oil needed for the production of instant noodles.

So now Shi Zhijian's business is getting bigger and bigger, and Shi Zhijian, in turn, helped Bi Fafa and became Bi Fa's "food and clothing parent".

Most of the grain and oil purchases of the grain and oil store opened by Bifa Institute are orders from Shinhwa Food Company.

Of course Bifa understands this, so Shi Zhijian always runs around to help him no matter the big or small matters here, such as Mrs. Shi Zhijian's birthday, niece's birthday, and New Year's and festivals, Bi Fafa will be very enthusiastic about wrapping it up. The purpose of the red envelope is to make Shi Zhijian remember him and think about his goodness!

"Mr. Shi, you didn't come here specifically to find me, did you?" Bi Fa was quite self-aware and knew that Shi Zhijian wouldn't come here easily.

Shi Zhijian nodded, took out the lighter with a smile and personally helped Bi Fa light the cigarette.

This time, Bifa was not as flattered as he was. He was simply frightened. He said in his mouth, "Where is this? How can I let you light a cigarette for me?" He said this, but he felt extremely honored and refreshed in his heart, and he could ask Shi Zhijian to help. Lighting a cigarette, it is estimated that few people in Hong Kong can get this kind of treatment.

"I'm asking for your help!" Shi Zhijian snapped, turned off the lighter, then smiled and looked at the campaign stage, saying, "I want to meet someone, please introduce me first!"

...

At the scene of the campaign hall, there are many people who have made small money in the stock market like Bi Fa. At this moment, they are all wearing uniform long gowns and jackets, and almost sixty people are all looking at the ballot box above.

There are three candidates for the chairman of the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce. They are the "financial tycoon" Li Fuzhao from Jiangmen, the "stock king" Deng Bingrong from Zhanjiang, and the "plastic flower king" Li Jiacheng from Chaozhou.

And because Li Jiacheng is more slick and likes to join in two sides, he is the main director of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and now he wants to seek a position in the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce, and his performance in financial stocks is not outstanding, so in the selection stage. Choosing to withdraw from the election automatically gave the opportunity directly to Li Fuzhao and Deng Bingrong.

Li Fuzhao was born in the Li family, a big family in Hong Kong. This family is known as the "Kennedy family of Hong Kong".

The Li family originated in Heshan, Guangdong. Li Shipeng's father, Li Jiacheng, was the first person in his family to "go for gold" in Hong Kong, but he was just a passing visitor. When Li Jiacheng died, Li Shipeng was just five years old. Li Shipeng started as an apprentice, and with the spirit of struggle, he started from scratch, and gradually established the century-old foundation of the Li family in Hong Kong.

Li Shipeng is a shrewd businessman. He clearly realized that only by learning English can he deal with foreigners and gain a foothold in the business circle controlled by the British. So, at the age of seventeen, he took the initiative to enroll in a mission school, St. Joseph's College, and became one of the first batch of Chinese students in the school. He also asked his children to do the same, and specially found a foreigner to teach his eldest son Li Guanchun to learn English.

After he was full of wings, Li Shipeng founded his own shipping company "He Facheng", mainly engaged in the transportation business, that is, transporting Vietnamese rice to Hong Kong.

Soon, he simply founded "Nanhehang" and started his own business of importing rice, and then gradually expanded into a one-stop business: buying rice, processing it locally, and then shipping it to Hong Kong. Li Shipeng's business became more and more prosperous. From shipping to rice import, from real estate to finance, he became a rich Chinese businessman in Hong Kong in the early 20th century.

In fact, in the past century of Hong Kong's history, the influence of the Li family has continued, and many social elites have emerged one after another, and they have created many "firsts" in Hong Kong: "Hong Kong's first generation of Chinese bankers", "Hong Kong's first generation of Chinese bankers", "Hong Kong The first Chinese judge of the High Court", "the father of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange" and so on.

At the height of its glory, the Li family's "one family and three heroes" spanned the three major fields of politics, legislation and judiciary, leaving other families unmatched.

As a wealthy young master from this big family, his father taught Li Fuzhao the tricks of stock trading since he was a child. So much so that he knew how to buy stocks at the age of six. However, his famous saying is, "Never have a relationship with stocks."

Therefore, when Li Fuzhao became an adult, he began to dominate the stock market and became the well-deserved "godfather of the stock market". Coupled with his prominent background, even today's four major families in Hong Kong should give him some thin faces.

Compared with the prominent status of Li Fuzhao's family, the competitor Deng Bingrong lost directly in the family background.

Although the Deng family is also well-known in Hong Kong, it cannot match the Li family in terms of assets and strength. The only thing that can surpass the Li family is the large population!

That's right!

It's a fight!

The Tang family in Hong Kong is the largest family in Hong Kong!

The Tang family in the New Territories is the first of the five families in Hong Kong. The descendants are now distributed in the five villages of Ping Shan, Ha Tsuen, Tai Po Tau, Kam Tin and Long Yuetou in the New Territories, with almost 30,000 people.

Clan ancestral halls can also be seen everywhere in Hong Kong, and most of them are magnificent, such as the Wanli Ancestral Hall in Pingshan, Yuen Long, the Songling Deng Gong Temple in Longyuetou, Fanling, and the You Gong Temple in Ha Village.

All the ancestral halls of the Tang family in Hong Kong, their power and history are not comparable to the ancestral halls of other big families.

It is precisely because of this that Deng Bingrong dared to openly challenge Li Fuzhao in this election, wanting to compete for the chairmanship of the Chamber of Commerce!

...

Ticket checking is currently underway.

Whoever gets the most votes will be the chairman of this session of the Chamber of Commerce!

The people around the chambers of commerce who participated in the vote were also huddled aside to discuss.

"Wow, the speed of checking tickets is too slow!"

"Yeah, everyone's waiting impatiently!"

"Is it actually still used to check tickets? The results are already obvious!"

As the candidate this time, Li Fuzhao, 42 years old this year, was sitting in the front candidate area with a cup of tea, his face was ashen. Even with the two directors of the Chamber of Commerce to accompany him at this time, he was still full of anger, holding the tea cup. Unyang said: "Don't think I don't know this group of people, they didn't vote for me! You can see it by looking at their eyes! Face me, dodge, hide! It's a shame that when I was canvassing votes, I asked again. When they drink tea, they invite them to watch the show! It's so unconscionable!"

"Brother Fu Zhao, you also know that their Deng family is the largest family in Hong Kong, and our Chamber of Commerce's surname is Deng alone! Don't say that you invite them to drink tea and watch the show, even if you invite them to the Kowloon Flower Boat. , they also have to have that kind of courage! As long as their patriarch speaks, one of them dares not to vote for Deng Bingrong?" said Director Wan, who was close to Li Fuzhao.

"Yeah! I also feel that the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce is getting more and more changeable! You can meet people with the surname Deng wherever you go! You can count them, and most of the sixty-odd people here are surnamed Deng! Sometimes I don't even know if this is the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce or the Deng Chamber of Commerce?!" Another Director Wang said.

Li Fuzhao saw that the ticket checking work was about to end, and his heart became even more anxious.

He regrets running for the presidency this time! This kind of election is meaningless, it is simply fighting for people! No matter how talented and ambitious you are, if you want to lead the chamber of commerce to stand out among the many chambers of commerce in Hong Kong, the result is the same, to the end!

Li Fuzhao looked at his competitor Deng Bingrong who was not far away and kept bowing his hands to everyone to express his thanks in advance, and felt even more panicked in his heart.

He admits that Deng Bingrong is a formidable opponent. If the opponent wins by relying on his own talent and personal ability, he will be convinced that Li Fuzhao will lose without any regrets.

Deng Bingrong was greeting many people of the same clan to celebrate in advance, and when he saw Li Fuzhao looking this way, he took the initiative to lift up his robe and walked towards Li Fuzhao like a boss.

"Fu Zhao, I'm afraid I'll be offended this time! To tell the truth, I have always admired you very much. You have strong abilities. You are really good at stock finance, but you are just a little bit worse as the chairman! You need to pay attention to the world, not the ability to be competent! Of course, if you are willing to support me as the chairman this time, maybe I will give you a vice chairman to do it! How about it, can't you get it?" Deng Bingrong smiled and ordered for himself cigarette way

Li Fuzhao let out a heavy sigh and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Deng for your love. I have always adhered to the belief that I would rather be a chicken head than an ox tail! Especially in our Li family, there is a family motto, and we have a clear conscience in life and work, even if we compete for one. The chairman must also be upright and never use ghost tricks!"

In the end, Li Fuzhao's eyes widened, his face arrogant.

Deng Bingrong looked at Li Fuzhao's pretentious expression, exhaled smoke, and said in a disdainful tone: "Everyone can talk about good things, so let's just look at the one who speaks beautifully! Now, the vote check is about to end, you should know the result of being a smart person. Oh, by the way, our family also has a family motto, the iron-headed cricket will die quickly~www.readwn.com~ Jinyu is full of gold and jade! Don't wait for the result to come out before you regret it!"

"Crack!" Li Fuzhao patted the tea table hard, as if he wanted to turn his face, but he immediately smiled: "I have been taught!" He clenched his fists at Deng Bingrong, and then faced the crowd, "No need to check the tickets! I will automatically abstain! This session The chairman of the chamber of commerce is Deng Bingrong and brother Deng!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene.

Those who were in charge of counting the votes were stunned, and then you looked at me, I looked at you, and didn't know what to do.

A much-anticipated battle between dragons and tigers disappeared in an instant, but instead made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Director Wan and Director Wang, who are close to Li Fuzhao, hurried forward and said, "Brother Fuzhao, are you wrong? You want to quit?"

Li Fuzhao laughed: "Yeah, it's better to take the initiative to withdraw than to be embarrassed! Before the votes are counted, I can save some face!"

Li Fuzhao was so straightforward that Director Wan and others were dumbfounded.

Seeing this, Deng Bingrong next to him was slightly startled at first, but immediately smiled happily, holding his cigarette slowly, and said in a contemptuous tone: "That's right! You have to know the timing of being a human being - what can you do if you don't have time with me? Get out of your body! Besides, my words are counted, since you are so eloquent, I also promise you, the seat of vice-chairman is for you!"

Li Fuzhao laughed when he heard the sound, "I'm sorry! I haven't finished speaking yet!"

Everyone looked at him together.

Li Fuzhao slowly picked up a cup of tea, slammed it, and smashed the cup on the ground: "Did you see it? The cup is broken, and the water is spilled! I can't hold it! Also, I'm busy now, and I'm preparing for the Far East. With the opening of the stock exchange, I have no energy to care about the affairs of the chamber of commerce, so I have now decided to withdraw from the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce!"

With a bang, the scene exploded!
