Luli's good mood is all stirred up by Ou Chenli! went upstairs and poured cold water ruthlessly, and then calmed down a little for the time being, "I'm sorry, Uncle Cai, let you watch such a drama." ”

Wei Laicai smiled, "Ah Xi, Ah ......" Since he knew Lu Li's nickname, he called him by this half-south and half-north title, "Men chase women, next mountain; Women chase men, compartment yarn. Hehe, I'm afraid you're going to have a hard time in the future. ”

"Uncle Cai, how about we not talk about this topic? What did you think about what I just told you? ”

"If it's as you say, which one don't I eat? Not to mention that your food there is fragrant and cheap? But we've got to get it up front, I can take things, but they're good enough. Otherwise, it's just like saying that you are my eldest nephew! ”

"Of course, that's how it should be." Lu Li nodded with a smile, picked up the kettle, and poured a cup of hot tea for each of them, "Uncle Cai, you have been doing this for a long time, and you are also a **lake, tell me about it?" ”

"Say what?"

"In other words, where did all these vegetables that Hong Kong people can see in the market come from? How about the price and quality? ”

"The sources are different, a small part of them are produced locally in Hong Kong, such as the surrounding islands such as Outlying Islands and Lamma Island, as well as the mainland islands such as the New Territories, Kowloon, Yuen Long, Sha Tau Kok, etc., of which the New Territories is the most; There are also some imported vegetables from Vietnam, Myanmar, Taiwan, and the mainland. However, there are very few imports from the mainland, mainly some bamboo shoots, red and white potatoes and other large road goods. It seems like...... You don't have a lot of this stuff over there? ”

Lu Li smiled bitterly, saying that the light agriculture and heavy industry that have been the same in China for decades have not only caused barrenness in the vegetable basket, but also caused exports to Hong Kong to become a shortcoming of the economy. Hong Kong, known as the Pearl of the Orient, is not a joke, it is the third largest port in the world after New York and Rotterdam, and from 1949 to 1984, the average economic growth rate reached a staggering 12.1%, and in the 70s, it was as high as 20%! With the exception of a very limited number of countries such as the mainland and North Korea, Hong Kong's entrepot trade has reached the world, and according to Hong Kong's official economic data for 1979, Hong Kong's GDP exceeded the US$80 billion mark for the first time that year. The per capita income is more than $3,000.

In 1977, the total value of goods imported by the mainland from Hong Kong was only $0.067 million, and according to China's 800 million population, even if it was converted into ** yuan, the average Chinese spent only two cents! In contrast, the mainland exports much more materials to Hong Kong. In the same year, the total value of products exported to Hong Kong exceeded US$1.7 billion (the above information is historical). Although the author doesn't understand the economy at all, I was shocked when I saw such a big gap for the first time, what a big surplus).

Lu Li thought for a while, and said to Wei Laicai: "So, Uncle Cai, can you take a little time to go to the mainland with me and have a look?" ”

"Cheng, when do you set a time, uncle and you will have a trip."

Lu Li nodded and smiled, "Uncle Cai, you have been running back and forth, bringing me food, you haven't eaten hot pot at my place yet, how about I invite you to try it today?" Why don't you call Aunt Cai and ask her to come over too? ”

"Don't, don't, what do women do with ginseng?" Wei Laicai laughed, waved his hand to refuse, and said, "But, Ah Xi, this road is not easy to walk." ”

"Oh? How do you say that? ”

"It's true that Hong Kong people buy some vegetables from the mainland, and someone is responsible for transporting these vegetables."

“…………”

Wei Laicai saw that he didn't understand, and scolded with a smile, "Think about it, can no one stare at such a money deal?" Not only are there people, but there are many of them! ”

Lu Li intuitively knew that there was something hidden in this, and he was not busy inviting him downstairs for dinner, but moved the chair closer to him, arched his body and asked, "Uncle Cai, can you tell me in detail?" ”

"It's a long story," Wei Laicai smiled and lit a cigarette and began to tell. "Hong Kong, it's such a place the size of a fingernail, and there are so many people, every morning when you open your eyes, the whole family has to eat, how can a man not go out to earn his life? I heard that when I was the first governor of Hong Kong, the Chinese were bullied by foreign devils and fake foreign devils, so they formed a group, originally just to mix a mouthful of food, and then it became bigger and bigger, and now, it has become a big association, you may have heard of it, called the Green Gang. ”

Luli shook his head suspiciously, "No, I haven't heard of it." ”

Wei Laicai laughed, "I didn't even know this name, so I came to Hong Kong in a daze?" You, I really don't know if you're stupid or what. He said: "In short, you must know that the power of the Green Gang is very, very large, and it is not an exaggeration to even call them the underground emperor of Hong Kong. Back then, before the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the police had to ask the Youth Gang for anything to do. Don't you understand? Let me give you an example, for example, there was a murder case, and the police couldn't find the murderer for a long time, and they chased it closely, so they found the Green Gang, so the boss spoke to find someone to be guilty. ”

"Guilty? Isn't that going to be shot? ”

"No, it's been said a long time ago, the person who is guilty will not be shot, and in the bitter kiln - this is our Hong Kong dialect, the meaning of prison - squatting for a few years, the gang will give him a settling-in allowance every year, and the matter will be solved."

The more Lu Li listened, the more confused he became, and his eyes widened in surprise, "How can there be such a thing?" Isn't that illegal? ”

"Looking like this now, at that time, there was no way! Do it from top to bottom, if you don't do it, just wait to get out! ”

"That's not right, what kind of gang will take the initiative to find someone, and spend money to settle in, this ...... Isn't it a loss-making transaction? ”

Wei Laicai smiled and shook his head, the cigarette ash was scattered with his movements, staining his clothes with gray-white marks, he hurriedly went to dust, but it was stained even more, and he was in a hurry, and it took a while to stop. "You see it's a loss, but in fact, it's not a loss! As you said, these people are in charge of transporting vegetables into Hong Kong, and they have the final say on how much the vegetables are priced. How much profit is an extra pound plus a penny? ”

"I see," Lu Li nodded and said in his own line of thought, "and officially, it is to hand over such a business to them." If you don't cooperate, you won't give them such a business, doesn't that mean? ”

Wei Laicai glanced at him, did not speak, paused, and continued: "Actually, is there an ICAC and a sample? It's not business as usual! Did you watch last year's TV? Last October...... Well, I forgot that MacLehose himself said, 'In fact, corruption is still rampant in Hong Kong, and there are still many people who can tolerate bribery'. ”

Lu Li nodded, but there was a question in his heart that never lingered, "Uncle Cai, then, let me ask you, what kind of green gang is this, since it can control such a huge source of wealth, why have I never heard of it?" ”

"You think they're the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce? Still hang up a sign and tell others that you are black? Wei Laicai laughed at his words, "You are not a person in the circle, of course you don't know." Wait until you get into the circle, and you'll understand. ”

"So, in that case, if I can transport food from the mainland, I have to deal with them?"

"I may not know it at the beginning, but it will be certain later. The thin road boy, cutting off people's financial paths, is like killing parents! ”

Lu Li knew it in his heart, didn't ask any more, and resumed his smiling expression, "Don't say so much, Uncle Cai, let's go down to dinner." By the way, can you have some drinks? ”

"Yes, why not?"

****************************************************

The information he got from Wei Laicai could only be regarded as a scale, and it was almost impossible to help him organize an effective judgment, eat and drink with the old man, and send him into a taxi, Lu Li stood at the door for a while, and woke up with the spring breeze that began to be a little warm, and after a while, his mind was much clearer.

"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing standing at the door?"

"It's okay, I'll go out. Oh, take down the twist I brought from the sky (Tianjin). ”

"Just ran after eating?"

Lu Li turned around and bared his teeth, "Xu Yunjian, you are about to become an old lady, why do you care so much?" Don't worry, I won't go to see Ou Chenli. ”

Xu Yunjian's face flushed, "You, who cares if you go or not?" ”

Lu Li stopped joking with him, took the twist flower from Cao Xun's hand, and said to him: "I may not come back to eat tonight, you can solve it yourself." ”

"Then we can get the money for a big meal?"

"Whatever, remember to ask for a bill, it's all mine today."

Xu Yunjian smacked him viciously and said to Cao Xun, "See? This grandson thing, just now scolded Miss Ou, in fact, I don't know how beautiful it is! Otherwise, can you be willing to let us have a big meal? Stinky shameless thing! ”

Luli laughed! Seeing the minibus coming from afar, he no longer teased them, beckoned with twisted flowers, and walked away.

I took the car to the Causeway Bay area, went straight to Zhang Dadong's lawyer's office, and when I entered the door, I saw several OL people talking around the desk, all with red faces and strange smiles on their lips, joking with a girl, as if they were talking about some sensitive topic, and their faces were not very normal, "That ......, Miss Fanny?" ”

Fanny is the English name of Zhang Dadong's secretary, Lu Li only knows her surname He, what is her Chinese name but does not know, fortunately, most people in Hong Kong call it like this, and it can't be miscalculated, "This is a little gift I brought back from the mainland, it's not worth anything, just treat it as a snack, eat and play." ”

Fanny looked at him amusedly, deliberately pretending not to hear clearly, "What was your last sentence?" ”

"I mean, how many of you are eating and playing, right?"

"I'm sorry, we still didn't hear you."

"I mean...... Ay? Seeing the girls giggling and chuckling, Luli knew he was teasing them, but he stood there like goose, completely unable to understand why they were laughing, "I'm sorry, I was joking with you, we just wanted to hear you say 'yi' huayin." I'm sorry. Hee-hee, that's pretty good! ”

Lu Li smiled bitterly, knocked on the door of Zhang Dadong's office, the latter was on the phone, made a gesture to him to wait, said a few more words, put down the phone, "Xiaoxiao, come back so soon?" ”

"yes, I miss you." Luli laughed and joked with him, and put the twist flower in front of him, "This is our specialty, and it is the only one that can be bought, and can withstand a long period of storage, try it." ”

Zhang Dadong took it and looked at it, "Well, I seem to have heard of it." Thank you, you have a heart. ”

"Oh, by the way, this is what my aunt bought for you, and the old lady said, after taking such a good gift from others, we don't have anything to offer, so I'll let you try it for the time being; And I said to me when I came out, "I have received a thousand years of favor, and when there is anything in the house, let me speak." ”

Zhang Dadong raised his head and smiled, "Okay, thank the old man for me, I will have the opportunity to invite the old man to come to Hong Kong, I will be the lord of the three heavens and the earth, and accompany the old man." ”

"You pull it down, you say that, the Chinese don't understand, the foreigners don't understand, don't you make our old lady anxious?" Return to the landlord, and at first glance you are paying lip service. ”

Zhang Dadong laughed even more!

Lu Li chatted with him for a few words, his face gradually turned formal, and asked, "Alan, I heard some news from a friend, I don't know how to tell you?" ”

"What do you mean by what do you tell me?"

"It's a hassle to talk about, I'll explain it to you in detail......" He told the story for more than an hour, during which the girl named Fanny came in several times to pour them coffee, and Luley's eyes lit up like an owl...... That's all I know, Alan, what do you think? ”

"This, I can only say that it is similar to what you know, the only thing that is a little more than you, that is, I know some old things about the ICAC." Zhang Dadong's expression was very solemn, and he said: "As for the Qinggang thing you said, I am also similar to Uncle Cai, and I don't have much intersection with these people's lives." ”

"I see what you mean," Luley said, "but I have a hunch that I might have a lot of dealings with these people in the future." ”

"I know what you mean, too." Zhang Dadong lit a cigarette and inhaled slowly, "Xiaoxiao, this matter must be decided before acting." But no matter what you think, as a legal practitioner, I must tell you that although there are many, many problems in Hong Kong at present, no matter what form these problems manifest themselves in, they are still developing in a better and better direction thanks to the efforts of the British political axe in Hong Kong. So, you must not do anything that is illegal, you know? ”

"Of course, I know it myself."

Zhang Dadong pondered for a while and stood up, "This matter, I will ask you about the details as soon as possible, and then we will discuss the specific method, what do you think?" ”

"Okay." Luli didn't stay any longer, got up and took his leave. (To be continued.) )
