We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong

Looking at the hundred or so simply dressed villagers before him, mostly elderly, Brother Wu sighed.

Behind Hong Kong's prosperity lies endless sin!

Small villages like Dasha Ridge Village, although close to the city center and less than two kilometers from the western edge of Central, don't have great living conditions, and most of the young people have gone out to work.

So, the hundred-plus villagers before him were all elderly people left behind.

The entire Dasha Ridge Village is said to have been formed decades ago by people fleeing the war, gradually gathering here to form a small village with dozens of surnames, despite having only a few hundred people.

In such a small village, how many landlords can get rich from renting?

The villagers here mainly make a living by growing vegetables, and many villagers take their vegetables to the city center to sell, but Dasha Ridge Village doesn't have much farmland, so they can't get rich by growing vegetables.

Originally, demolition and relocation were a good thing for many people.

When Hongkong Land first started communicating with them about the demolition, many villagers had imagined moving to the city with the demolition compensation.

However, when Hongkong Land's demolition plan was finally released, the villagers completely extinguished their fantasies.

Hongkong Land's demolition plan, not to mention premium demolition, didn't even reach half the market value of the land, and with such demolition compensation, they couldn't afford to buy a house in the city, or even in the suburbs.

So, they decisively and collectively rejected Hongkong Land's demolition plan.

The Hongkong Land Group wasn't easy to deal with either. The Jardine taipan directly approached the leader of Sun Yee On, asking them to settle these villagers, who were considered troublemakers by the British, within a month.

Thus, the villagers of Dasha Ridge Village's hard days came.

Being targeted by a triad, especially Sun Yee On, one of Hong Kong's four major triads, dealing with this small village was just a small matter.

Intimidation, beatings, arson, and sabotage—in just a few days, the villagers suffered greatly.

One elderly person was so frightened that he fell to the ground and died.

Enduring harassment and threats, living in fear every day, the villagers could only call the police.

But every time the police came, they just went through the motions, completely ignoring it, basically just taking a quick look, saying a few words, and leaving.

As soon as the police left, these thugs would quickly receive the news and continue to harass the villagers.

After a few times, the villagers already knew that the Royal Hong Kong Police were, after all, in league with British companies like Hongkong Land, so what good would it do to call the police?

Moreover, because the villagers all knew how powerful the Sun Yee On triad was, they didn't dare to call the young people back.

If the young people came back and got into a fight with Sun Yee On, resulting in death, these elderly people would definitely not be able to bear it. These old people could only silently endure such oppression.

That's why there was the opening scene of the villagers collectively approaching the Sheung Wan training base to see if they could get help from Instructor Wu.

Although the chances were slim, they wanted to try as long as there was a sliver of hope to change the situation.

If they agreed to Hongkong Land's meager demolition compensation, their final result would be homelessness. Their homes would be gone, and they couldn't afford to buy anything outside. These old people couldn't find work, so what else could they do but wander?

"Elders, I already know about your situation. If I can help, I definitely will. Please go back first. I want to find a way to investigate the matter clearly first to see if I can help. Your gathering here will affect our normal work, and I hope everyone can understand our difficulties," Brother Wu said loudly.

Brother Wu could actually understand the thoughts of these villagers. Their current situation was like grasping at straws when sick.

After all, even calling the police was useless, so what could they do? They could only see if there were any other places where they could get help.

After Brother Wu finished speaking, the scene finally quieted down.

After a while, an elderly man came out, stood in front of Brother Wu, and said solemnly, "Instructor Wu, I am Zhang Aiguo, the village chief of Dasha Ridge Village. I know this matter has nothing to do with you, but we are really at our wit's end and don't know who else to turn to.

I also understand that it is a favor if Instructor Wu helps, and it is only natural if you don't. In any case, I am very sorry to have bothered you, and I hope that if you have the ability, you will be kind enough to help us.

We won't let Instructor Wu work for nothing either. Our village has nearly two hundred households, although most of them are poor, we can raise money. How much money do you want to help? We will try our best to raise enough, as long as Sun Yee On no longer deals with us, we will be satisfied."

After the village chief Zhang Aiguo finished speaking, he knelt down directly.

As the village chief knelt down, more than a hundred elderly people behind him also knelt down.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Say ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ Book ⊥ ⊥ Bar ⊥ ⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

"Elders, please get up quickly. If you do this, I will lose years of my life. Also, the company is not up to me. I have to ask the boss. If the boss doesn't agree, don't make things difficult for me. Please go back first!" Brother Wu quickly walked to the side, not wanting to stand in front of them.

These old people were now morally kidnapping him, which made Brother Wu, who was used to seeing the world, helpless, but unable to say anything.

After all, from their situation, Brother Wu could also feel that these villagers were at their wit's end. If they hadn't been forced to, they probably wouldn't have asked a stranger neighbor like him for help.

He had seen things like this many times before.

But before, he was always outside of things, so there wasn't too much pressure, after all, he wasn't some savior.

But now, these people were all coming to him, which made it a bit difficult for him.

However, in any case, he would first investigate the incident clearly and then ask the boss for his opinion.

He was not an impulsive person and would not actively cause trouble for the boss.

Of course, if the boss was willing to take on such trouble, Brother Wu would definitely help if he could.

Because, in fact, in today's Hong Kong, Brother Wu was basically not afraid of anyone.

"Since that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Instructor Wu. These bullies are tormenting us old men and women every day. I'm afraid our bodies won't be able to take it much longer," Village Chief Zhang Aiguo sighed, took the lead in standing up, and bowed slightly to Brother Wu.

Watching the departing figures of these hundred-plus elderly people, Brother Wu stood for a long time without turning back.
