240: Ni Yongxiao
"Master Fan, please inside."
After a simple hello, Ni Yongxiao beckoned Lin Yao and the others into the villa.
The three of them came to the living room and sat down, and a servant went to make tea, and Ni Yongxiao took the opportunity to speak: "Master Fan, I heard from my friend above that the government intends to demolish the Kowloon Walled City, is this news true?" ”
"I'm afraid it's true, the Kowloon Walled City has always been a thorn in the heart of the government, as early as 73 years, 3,000 police officers were sent to bulldoze the walled city."
"It's just that the operation, because the leak was known in advance by the bad elements entrenched in the walled city, they instigated more than 30,000 people to take to the streets to boycott, because they had to worry about the prosperity of Hong Kong Island, this operation finally failed."
"Since then, the call for the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City has grown, and everyone knows that the people above have made up their minds."
"No, there was another vote a few days ago, and the parliament passed the issue of demolition and resettlement of the Kowloon Walled City, and now as long as the hometown agrees, it may attack the walled city at any time."
When Fan Ye talked about the Kowloon Walled City to be demolished, he was also full of melancholy.
He is an uncle-level boss in the Kowloon Walled City, and he has been in the Walled City for half his life, so how can he have no feelings for the Walled City.
It's just that the location of the Kowloon Walled City is too good.
There is a boundary street in the northern part of Kowloon City, which divides the Kowloon Peninsula horizontally into two, the southern part of the street is called Kowloon, and the northern part of the street is the New Territories.
The East Boundary Street entrance leads to Kai Tak Airport, and to the north of Kai Tak Airport is the famous Kowloon Walled City.
At present, the development of Hong Kong Island is changing rapidly, and Kowloon City is already full of high-rise buildings.
The Kowloon Walled City covers an area of 26,700 square metres and has a population of over 45,000.
With such a large area and such a large population, you can make a lot of money by doing anything.
But because of the particularity of the Kowloon Walled City, nothing can be done, but it has become a place for Hong Kong Island to hide and refuge, and the police dare not enter.
"According to this, the Kowloon Walled City will definitely be demolished."
Ni Yongxiao combined Fan Ye's words and his own intelligence to predict the future of the Kowloon Walled City.
Fan Ye sighed and nodded, and said bluntly: "In my opinion, it will be within three or five years." ”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Lin Yao corresponded with the memory, and found that the truth was similar to what the two said.
In 83, Hong Kong Island passed the demolition plan.
Next year, in '84, Britain and Tang will sign a joint declaration.
In 87 began the preliminary demolition and relocation of residents.
All demolished in 93, Hong Kong Island no longer has the name of Kowloon Walled City.
Taken together, it is really the same as the two estimated, there will be action in three or five years.
"Master Fan, on the issue of demolishing the Kowloon Walled City, do you support or oppose it?" Ni Yongxiao asked.
"Against?"
Fan Ye smiled bitterly: "Is it useful to oppose it?" We old guys just don't agree, if we can hold on for a while, will we still be able to hold out for a lifetime? ”
"In my opinion, the Kowloon Walled City can't be kept, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have brought Ah Yao today, with my prestige in the Walled City, who do you want him to talk to?"
After chatting a few words, Fan Ye's voice turned to Lin Yao.
Ni Yongxiao didn't seem to understand, and asked pretending not to know, "What's wrong with Ah Yao?" ”
"The Kowloon Walled City is now a fire pit, and I'm afraid he will sink too deep and won't be able to pull it out."
"I brought him this time, just to let you take a look, if you can see it, I want Ah Yao to follow you, before and after the saddle, just give him a bite to eat."
"Of course, if it's too embarrassing, just if I don't say anything, now that the Kowloon Walled City is gone, you don't need to sell my old man's face."
Fan Ye took retreat as advance, and used his relationship with the Ni family to make a bet, betting that Ni Yongxiao would not stand idly by.
Sure enough, as soon as Ni Yongxiao heard this, it was difficult to refuse, whether it was sincere or false, so he could only nod and say: "Master Fan, what are you talking about, I am recruiting troops now, you recommend talents like Ah Yao to me, I thank you It's too late, how can you not give face?" ”
After speaking, Ni Yongxiao changed his color and said to Lin Yao: "Ah Yao, Fan Ye's business is my business, and if you do it with me in the future, I will not treat you badly." ”
"Thank you, Brother Xiao!"
Lin Yao showed a look of joy, thinking that the first step to break into the Ni family was completed.
Moreover, with Fan Ye's face here, Ni Yongxiao doesn't look at the face of the monk and looks at the face of the Buddha, and it is impossible for him to start from a young minion, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of Fan Ye.
It's just how to arrange him, Ni Yongxiao didn't order immediately, but chatted with Fan Ye about something else.
When it was almost noon, the maid came to ask about the meal, and Ni Yongxiao stopped chatting and said, "Master Fan, stay and eat at noon?" ”
"Forget it today, I made an appointment with an old friend at noon, let's have another day."
Fan Ye looked at the time and stood up from the sofa: "It's not early, I'll go back first." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yao: "Ah Yao, do a good job by Mr. Ni's side, don't embarrass me." ”
"Yes, Master Fan."
Lin Yao nodded and sent Fan Ye into the car.
Seeing the car go away, Ni Yongxiao slowly retracted his gaze and said, "Ah Yao, eat with me at noon, let's talk while eating." ”
There is no doubt about what Ni Yongxiao said about this sentence.
The Ni family eats out of the way, and there are many industries involved, which are very miscellaneous, and some places are not very legal.
Lin Yao, as a new employee, Ni Yongxiao felt that it was necessary to understand, not to suspect that Lin Yao's identity was problematic, but to better arrange him.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao."
Lin Yao smiled and nodded, knowing that he couldn't refuse.
Soon it was time for the meal, because they had something to be greedy, and the two of them ate in the study on the second floor, which could not be regarded as a family banquet.
Of course, Lin Yao didn't care about this, he knew that he was a newcomer, no matter who recommended him, it was impossible for Ni Yongxiao to be directly regarded as his own.
Ni Yongxiao is hot on the outside and cold on the inside, and he doesn't trust anyone except the Ni family.
Not to mention him, among the five hall masters, Han Chen, the only one who clearly supported Ni Yongxiao's ascension, has never been regarded by him as his own.
At most, just tools that can be utilized.
To put it bluntly, you are the top croaking when you use it, and it is too much to see you when you don't use it.
"Over the years, Fan Ye has never had a junior from his hometown look for him, you shouldn't be his own nephew, right?"
As soon as Ni Yongxiao opened his mouth, he asked a very tricky question.
Fortunately, Lin Yao and Fan Ye had already discussed countermeasures, and immediately replied: "You are right, I am not Fan Ye's own nephew, but my father has some friendship with Fan Ye. Fan Ye raised his love and recognized me as his nephew, saying that in this way others would give him some face. ”
"Oh, how did you meet?"
Ni Yongxiao continued: "Fan Ye came to Hong Kong Island in the early sixties, if your father has a relationship with Fan Ye, your father's grade is at least over fifty years old, right?" ”
Lin Yao replied: "My father and Fan Ye were educated youths in the same place back then, speaking of which, it was all five or six years ago, if it wasn't for this time I came to Hong Kong Island, I didn't know that my father still had friends on Hong Kong Island, and he mixed so well." ”
"Why did you come to Hong Kong Island?" Ni Yongxiao asked again.
"I'm scared of poverty, I want to make more money, eat well and dress well in the future, and there are few opportunities in my hometown, so I want to try my luck on Hong Kong Island."
Ni Yongxiao asked, and Lin Yao replied.
He answered seven or eight questions in a row, and he should have not shown any flaws.
Who would have thought, Ni Yongxiao laughed after hearing this, and suddenly said: "It's really good, it's really neat, it's the same as memorizing the answer!" ”
Lin Yao's heart suddenly burst and he thought, "It's broken, it's self-defeating!" ”
