The Rise of the Writers of the Republic of China - Chapter 1057
On September 5, Zhou Weilie boarded a ship to study in the UK, and refused to send someone to accompany him to protect him. He was already fifteen years old, and when he said that he was not big or small, Zhou Hexuan was really worried, so he asked Sun Yongzhen to pretend to be a poor man and live in the third-class cabin to **** him secretly.
After another half month, Zhang Mouzhi and his two sons came to Hong Kong and brought more than 40 management talents, skilled workers and a large number of machines.
It is no longer possible to open factories in the mainland. Except for the pharmaceutical factory that was detained by the government and not allowed to move, all of Zhou Hexuan’s factories in Sichuan are planning to relocate. Those factories that have been declared closed down long ago, all the machines are properly kept in the factory buildings, and now they can be brought to Hong Kong directly to resume work.
“My son-in-law, don’t make a mistake in your judgment,” Zhang Mouzhi said with some uncertainty in his heart. “Now the property of the Zhang family and the Zhou family is going to be moved to Hong Kong. What if there is a fight in Hong Kong? If the Communist Party is in the world, I am afraid that most of them will also take back Hong Kong.”
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: “Lord Taishan, you can rest assured that Hong Kong is the best way out. When did I make a mistake?”
“I trust your vision, otherwise we wouldn’t have shipped all the machines here,” Zhang Mouzhi said with a change of tone, “However, Hong Kong is mainly shipping, so what’s the point of opening a factory here?”
Zhou Hexuan took out a map of Hong Kong and gestured: “Now the richest man in Hong Kong is Ho Tung, Central District, Wan Chai on Hong Kong Island, Mong Kok, Nathan Road in Kowloon and other prosperous areas, there are Ho Tung’s land and buildings everywhere. He Dong has already bought all the most oily and watery areas in Hong Kong. His business includes shipping, real estate, trade, shops, etc. It is impossible for us to compete with him. And Hong Kong’s finance is controlled by the British. , it is difficult to get involved for the time being. My plan is to buy a lot of land and build factories in undeveloped areas such as the eastern and western areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and we specialize in doing business in Hong Kong.”
Zhang Mouzhi asked: “Who are the commodities produced and sold to?”
Zhou Hexuan said: “The civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is inevitable, and there will be a shortage of supplies in the mainland. Our products can be continuously transported to the mainland through the Guangzhou-Kowloon Railway. Also, once the civil war breaks out, many refugees will inevitably come to Hong Kong. Hundreds of thousands of refugees would have been It consumes a lot of product.”
“Do you want to do real estate business? Specially build houses for refugees.” Zhang Mouzhi still didn’t forget his old business.
Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile: “Refugees are suffering, haha, where can they afford a house? Even if they rent a house, refugees can’t afford the rent. Of course, most areas in Kowloon are undeveloped now, and the land is very cheap, so you can buy it first. on.”
“Then buy land and stock up!” Zhang Mouzhi immediately made the decision, and he liked real estate the most.
Zhou Hexuan added: “By the way, Lord Taishan can donate to build a private university in Hong Kong. When the school is on the right track, I will help you get a JP to Dangdang.”
“What is a Justice of the Peace?” Zhang Mouzhi asked.
Zhou Hexuan explained: “A kind of thing invented by the British can interfere with local administration and justice, anyway, it is convenient to do things.”
“That’s not bad.” Zhang Mouzhi said happily.
Justice of the Peace is tall, but it is too low for Zhou Hexuan. If the Governor of Hong Kong dares to grant Zhou Hexuan the title of Justice of the Peace, it must be an insult to Zhou Hexuan. For Zhang Mouzhi, it was just right. He was wearing a tiger’s skin, which was like being covered by the British, and he did not dare to provoke him.
Zhou Hexuan suddenly remembered something, he said: “By the way, the British are preparing to auction materials, from ships to machinery, all of which were left over when the Japanese invaders handed them over. All those rich people in Hong Kong have run away and haven’t come back yet, we can take the opportunity to shoot. The best part is the same as Bai Jie.”
“I’ll go see what I can shoot tomorrow.” Zhang Mouzhi said.
Zhou Hexuan took out a thick stack of lists: “No need, I got a list of supplies.”
In Hong Kong, there is really no one to compete with Zhou Hexuan in the short term. Those rich people are very cautious, and even the richest man, He Dong, is still hiding in Macau.
By the way, Mr. He, the “King of Macau”, has nothing to do with He Dong. Mr. He is a pure-bred Chinese, while He Dong is a Chinese-Dutch half-blood. The “Macau King” and the “Macau Gambling King” are not the same person. The “Macau Gambling King” is He Dong’s grand-nephew – the Governor of Macau needs to act according to the “Macau King”‘s face, and he must ask the “Macau King” in advance to issue new laws. “, while the “Macau Gambling King” made his fortune by marrying the daughter of a high-ranking Macau official.
“Macau King” Mr. He is really awesome. Since the 1950s, he has put up a sign on the second floor of his bank: Macau Chinese Representative He Xian Office.
Mr. He receives people at the office every day. Anyone who has grievances, who has difficulties, or who has been troubled by the government can go to him. He asked the secretary to record and record it in detail. If he can solve it himself, he can solve it by himself. If he can’t solve it by himself, he will go to the Portuguese and Australian government. Basically, everything can be settled. He even forced the Governor of Macau to personally sign a confession to the people of Macau – of course, there are reasons behind the support of the mainland.
Chinese people ask Mr. He to find the Governor, and the Governor asks Mr. He to help him when he has something. He is known as the “Shadow Governor”. Compared with him, the gambling king is too low.
This is called “Macau King”!
Even if Zhou Hexuan becomes the “King of Hong Kong”, he will definitely not be able to achieve the level of “King of Macau”, because the British are much more powerful than the Portuguese.
In the next two months, Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Mouzhi frantically transferred pounds and US dollars to purchase land in the non-prosperous areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. At this time, many parts of Hong Kong were still in the remote countryside, and the newly formed Hong Kong military government was short of money. Various cabbage prices sold the remote land to Zhou Hexuan.
The best part of the materials handed over by the Japanese army auctioned by the Hong Kong military government was taken away by Zhou Hexuan, who made Hong Kong’s rich people not come back. Among them, there are more than 30 large cargo ships. I don’t know where the little devils grabbed them, so they can use it to engage in the shipping business.
At this time, Japan had signed the surrender treaty, and the Nationalist government finally sent troops to take over Taiwan and Guangzhou Bay (Zhanjiang). Lao Jiang didn’t forget about Ryukyu. He originally wanted to send troops to receive it, but the Yankees suddenly repented and wanted to hand over Ryukyu to the newly established United Nations trusteeship – including Roosevelt’s recognition of post-war independent Korea at the Cairo Conference. Trusted by Truman to the United Nations.
Truman overturned many of Roosevelt’s established decisions, the Ryukyu and North Korea issues are only a small part of them.
When Zhou Hexuan arranged things in Hong Kong properly, the Nuremberg trial had already started on the European side, and the Tokyo trial was prepared based on this.
Hearing this news, Zhou Hexuan immediately returned to Chongqing, and handed over the information about the Nanjing Massacre he had to the National Government.
