An Yi was very busy, before leaving Nanjing for his marriage leave, many affairs still worried him, among which the most uneasy for him was the ever-changing provincial and Hong Kong affairs, in the last resort, An Yi quietly issued an order to send his henchmen to Hong Kong to carry out a systematic secret investigation.

The warehouse area of Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, Hong Kong, is lined with bungalows, and within a few miles of the pier are brick and timber houses with concrete floors and wooden domes and small green tiles to protect from the wind and rain.

In the thirties, as Shanghai's role as an international trade port became more and more obvious, Hong Kong's maritime industry gradually fell into recession, but Hong Kong, as the most important entrepot trade port in southern China, still accounted for more than 16% of China's total cargo throughput, so the busy wharf and warehouse area with endless flow of people is still a unique scenery in Hong Kong.

In a row of tall warehouses near the Whitfield Barracks of the British army, three well-dressed young men in suits walked into a warehouse, accompanied by more than a dozen strong men in black.

"Brother Kaiming, this is the last batch of goods we inspected, I don't know what the boss sent you south to Hong Kong this time?" The big man at the head couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked.

The man known as the enlightened brother wears a pair of black myopic glasses, he is Lu Kaiming, a doctor of finance who returned from studying in Europe, An Yi left the UK in a hurry after the outbreak of the 918 incident, but Lu Kaiming met with Zhang Xi, who had admired him for a long time, and Lin Xudong, the boss of the Huaqing Society, in London, and later under the arrangement of Zhang Xi, who loved talent, he entered Cambridge University to teach for three months, and put forward the economic theory of "direct selling" for the first time in teaching, which triggered a big discussion in the economic circles of Britain and Europe and the United States, and then under Zhang Xi's money offensive, Easily obtained British citizenship.

King Edward VIII of England was very interested in Lu Kaiming's "direct selling theory" and personally received Lu Kaiming at Buckingham Palace. When Lu Kaiming explained the huge risk that "direct selling" might evolve into "pyramid selling" and that it must be implemented under a sound system, King Edward, who had suffered a lot from the economy, listened to it and thought that he had found a good way to make a fortune.

When Lu Kaiming returned to China, it coincided with a day in Shanghai. At the outbreak of the 28th Anti-Japanese War, he returned to his hometown of Zunyi, Guizhou, and hibernate for a month, while getting along with his family to take advantage of the pain of longing, through newspapers and the radio purchased after returning to China, he paid close attention to the changes in the domestic and international situation, and finally understood that what An Yi talked to himself in Paris was not a lie, and in China, where there were many disasters and difficulties, everything he learned was useless except for An Yi and his group, so he rushed to Nanjing without hesitation after feeling that he had rested enough, Under Chen Yu's arrangement, he met An Yi, who returned to Beijing for a meeting.

An Yi was overjoyed by the contribution of Lu Kaiming, a learned man, and immediately made a decision without thinking about it, sending Lu Kaiming south to Hong Kong to formally establish the long-planned South China Company.

Now An Yi's "Jiangnan Group" and the "Oriental Group" under Sharapova's name have attracted the attention of many well-intentioned people, although the Sichuan South Group is in the ascendant, it still involves a lot of complicated eyeballs, in this case, he very much hopes to set up another company that seems to have nothing to do with himself, responsible for the operation of the entire Liangguang, Hong Kong and Nanyang regions.

It was in this situation that Lu Kaiming was reused as soon as he joined, and he came to Hong Kong with two assistants sent by An Yi and nearly 10 million checks from HSBC to meet Chen Biao, the boss of the "Hongxing Society", who had already become the head snake of the land.

Chen Biao is An Yi familiar with the Guangzhou city gangster A Biao, 26 years before An Yi led the Northern Expedition, with the collapse of the "Four Seas Gang" that dominated Guangzhou, A Biao rapidly expanded his power, with the support of a large number of arms purchased by Lu Lin Bank, unified the underworld in Guangzhou, and quickly spread to the entire territory of Guangdong, and then penetrated his tentacles into Hong Kong.

In the past two or seven years, the situation has changed drastically, and the city of Guangzhou has changed the banner of the king from time to time, and when Hong Kong has returned to prosperity after the end of the provincial and Hong Kong strikes, Ah Biao and his brothers have entered Hong Kong. After An Yi's defeat and retreated to the old Nanchang to recuperate, vigorously develop the economy, people's livelihood and the arms industry, A Biao, who has been in contact with An Yi, also benefited, under the training of several special instructors sent by An Yi, coupled with the continuous supply of arms provided by the old Nanchang Arsenal, A Biao attacked in all directions, and in one fell swoop surpassed the triad and Qinghong gang organizations that had been entrenched in Hong Kong for many years, and became a heavyweight in the underground underworld of Hong Kong and Kowloon, and then under the secret support of An Yi's military force and a large amount of money, Gradually became a veritable controller of the underground order.

With the outbreak of the global economic crisis in 29 years, Hong Kong's economy was also affected, and it seemed that Ah Biao's life would not be easy, but in fact it was diametrically opposite, with the establishment of a series of arms, opium and white powder sales channels, Ah Biao's business became bigger and bigger, began to take root in various parts of the South Seas, marched to Taiwan and Japan, and began to influence and radiate European and American countries through cooperation with international gangs dominated by sailors, unscrupulous businessmen and failed European and American adventurers.

In the 30s, after Zhang Xi and Ou Yaoting successfully acquired several major shipping companies that went bankrupt on the West Coast of the United States, one of the shipping companies with a cargo capacity of 100,000 tons was sent to Hong Kong for the temporary use of Ah Biao. Taking advantage of this great opportunity, Ah Biao grew rapidly, and while smuggling arms and selling drugs, he officially opened branches and set up halls in various parts of Nanyang, attracting overseas Chinese to join the association, establishing a security company armed to the teeth, and at the same time buying land and rubber plantations, and immigrating from the disaster-ridden areas in the country to plant. After the 918 Incident, under the joint efforts of Zhou Chong'an, Ou Yaoting and Zhang Xi, the intensity of immigration was greater, and the influence of Hongxingshe also expanded rapidly.

"Ah Biao, you can rest assured, I didn't come to Hong Kong to seize the interests that originally belonged to the Hongxing Society, the commander also cherishes the large piece of foundation you created with a knife and a gun, he has told me many times that the relationship between you and you is not more brother than brother, although now the organization at all levels of the Hongxing Society is established with the help of the commander, but the hard work and sweat you have paid for this have made the commander and the domestic brothers admire, and everyone hopes that you can go to the next level!" Lu Kaiming saw Ah Biao's nervous and expectant expression, smiled slightly, and comforted him.

Ah Biao's heart was relieved, but there was a smile on his face: "Why did Brother Enlightened say this? If it weren't for his kind words, I might have been suppressed as a counter-revolutionary by the Huangpu Academy Army and the Guangzhou Police Department, not to mention that I have come to this day under the guidance of the commander. To tell the truth, although I am nominally the leader of the Hongxing Society, who doesn't know that the brothers respect the eldest brother in their hearts? At present, there are more than 100 churches in the Hongxing Society in Liangguang and Southeast Asia, and the leading brothers in each hall are basically from the training camp, so they have such good combat effectiveness and cohesion, and they are doing a down-to-earth job. ”

When Lu Kaiming came to Guangzhou, he had heard An Yi give a detailed introduction to the development of the Hongxing Society, and naturally understood that the training camp in A Biao's mouth was a training place for An Yi's special forces as instructors, and the veterans who had retired and were unwilling to live a dull life as supervisors and ideological instructors.

The advantages of this are self-evident, but the disadvantages are that some selfish people are not satisfied and vented, they are not active in their work, and even occasionally complain, but under the supervision of the "torture hall" composed of the elite of the training camp, there is no chaos.

The assistant standing on Lu Kaiming's right, Zheng Jun, who had studied at the old Nanchang Non-commissioned Officer School and later entered the Department of Economics of Jiangnan University of Technology, was impatient. Zheng Jun, who is also from Lincun, Guangzhou, frowned slightly, and said to Ah Biao:

"Brother Biao, what are you humble, we are indeed here to do something about our careers this time. Before coming, Brother Jiu asked me to tell you that everyone is working under the command, as long as you are worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, and worthy of your own country and nation, you don't have to worry about your position at all. If you look at the machinery and equipment in this warehouse, can you think of what we are doing in Hong Kong? ”

Chen Biao's heart moved: "The machinery and equipment in these warehouses are all due to a. After the outbreak of the 28th Anti-Japanese War, the fleet from the United States could not pass through the Yangtze River estuary, and was transported to Hong Kong for temporary storage without a way. I heard that this batch of goods is going to be shipped to southern Sichuan, and now that there is a truce between China and Japan, do you need to load it on a ship again? ”

Lu Kaiming smiled: "You guessed wrong, the commander had this idea before, but now it has changed." The commander decided to use these machinery and equipment to set up a factory in this Hong Kong area, formally set up a group company, based on Hong Kong to radiate the South Seas, and develop and grow. ”

Chen Biao was taken aback: "So, Brother Kaiming is coming back to do business?" ”

Lu Kaiming nodded, pointed to the machinery in the room and said: "I have checked in the past few days, this batch of machinery is varied, including a watch factory, a chemical factory, a cigarette factory, a mold factory and a garment factory production equipment, if we open a factory after the operation is good, we can continue to introduce related factories in the later stage, and develop our group." By the way, the commander has already sent a message to the US side, and the shipping company will be owned by the Nanhua Group in the future, and Hong Xingshe will hold half of the shares in the shipping company, and at the same time, the US side will continue to allocate a fleet of 50,000 tons to Hong Kong. ”

Chen Biao was very happy: "In this way, I can rest assured, the property rights of the shipping company are unknown before, we have been trembling, we dare not let go of the operation, even the wharf and freight yard do not dare to rebuild and expand, for fear that it will become someone else's after the end, hehe!" Now that the property rights of the shipping company are determined, we can invest in the construction of the port, which is a lucrative deal. ”

Lu Kaiming nodded: "We not only have to build port terminals and warehouse areas, but also build our own houses and speculate on real estate, so that Nanhua Company will become the largest company in Hong Kong." ”

Chen Biao was a little difficult: "But the construction of large-scale projects has to go through the Hong Kong government, those white people are high one by one, they have always looked down on us Chinese, and they have also set the peak area where white people live as a non-access area, can we get land approval?" ”

Lu Kaiming laughed: "Don't worry, I have obtained British citizenship and received King Edward as an exception, the British government still attaches great importance to the revitalization of Hong Kong's industry and commerce, and I believe that there will be major policy changes soon." Decades of rigid policies have seriously hampered the development of Hong Kong, and it has not benefited the British government, and the Chinese in Hong Kong will gradually gain more power and social status, otherwise the king will not receive me, and the British have obviously realized that this is being changed positively, and I think Sir Belle will give me face. ”

Chen Biao's eyes widened: "So, your identity and fame are enough?" ”

Lu Kaiming laughed: "For hundreds of years, Britain always thought that Lao Tzu was the best in the world, and in the past two years, it has been painful to find that after the First World War, the Yankees caught up, and after the economic crisis, the British found that they had been overtaken by the United States and European powers step by step, and even the Japanese did not respect them as much as they used to, can they not be in a hurry?" If you don't change, you will be left behind. ”

Everyone smiled when they heard this, and suddenly became expectant about their work.
