333 And the king saw the king
Two days later.
Nine a.m.
Dafeng Silver.
Many office workers in suits and handbags lined up at the counter to handle business.
Some citizens dressed in different ways, wearing white shirts, slippers, and big pants, are waiting to go up the stairs in front of the staircase entrance.
Qiu De even walked through the crowd, came to the staircase, bowed down and said, "Big boss, the location has been bought, you can see Representative He when you go upstairs and go to the next number." ”
"Thank you."
He Dingxian wore a high-end suit, tie, and formal attire. Several bodyguards were equipped with guns on their waists, looking around vigilantly, faintly protecting the big boss in the middle.
Qiu De even led the big boss to the second floor, and the same Haojiang citizen who nodded changed positions.
"Next."
A male secretary pushed open the wooden door of the office and sent out a citizen who had come to give feedback, shouting loudly to the long queue by the way.
"It's me."
He Dingxian raised his right hand, said yes, and hurriedly walked up.
The male secretary was wearing glasses, and when he saw that he was dressed a little stunned, he nodded and brought him into the office without saying a word. There is a sign hanging at the door of the office, which reads the office of He Xian, the representative of the Haojiang Chinese.
The signboard is simple and generous, but the long queue is lined with majestic atmosphere.
He Dingxian paid more attention to the brand, and secretly liked it in his heart, and he had to set up one in the future!
At the same time, He Xian in the room was wearing a suit, square-framed glasses, and combing his back hair, looking very energetic, but his smile was actually kind and kind, and he immediately got up and waved to welcome someone when he saw someone enter the door, without the slightest momentum of a Chinese boss.
The whole office is very small, enough for a desk and a bookcase, and it can be completed in ten steps.
He Dingxian sat on a wooden chair, and the secretary immediately closed the door and took a notebook to record beside him.
He Xian shook his hand and ordered, "Ayong, make a cup of tea for Mr." ”
"Okay."
The secretary went to make tea.
He Xian smiled and looked at the other side, and did not mean to ask, for half a minute, after the secretary served tea, He Dingxian had to take the initiative to speak: "Representative He is fortunate to meet, I am an investment businessman from Hong Kong Island, and I hope that Representative He will help me with some things." ”
"Big boss."
He Xian smiled and said loudly: "The people who come to me are poor neighbors, fish sellers, and you are not ordinary when you look dressed." In addition to gambling, Haojiang has nothing worth investing in in factories, and if it is troublesome. ”
"I'm sorry, but I won't accept you."
He Dingxian shook his head: "I have a bank on Hong Kong Island, and I want to open an office in Haojiang to operate some financial projects, but I have been harassed by local community forces, I wonder if Representative He can help?" ”
He Xian picked up the teacup, took a sip, and thought about it: "He sir, I didn't expect you to come to the office to find me, so it's hard for me to refuse you, tell me, what do you want to do?" ”
He is very well-informed in Haojiang, and the identity of the person who came can be determined just by a few words of the bank branch.
"My request is very simple, first, I want Mr. Gao Kening to come forward to apologize and kill my six brothers, and there must be compensation for killing my six brothers, and second, let Dongfang Bank open in Haojiang." He Dingxian took a sip of tea, held the cup, and chuckled: "Dongfang Bank will definitely sell all legal financial products, including pawns and credits, but in return, you can open a new business with Mr. Fu and Mr. Gao." ”
"Set up an auction company in Haojiang."
He Xian's eyes were surprised, and he said loudly: "Since Mr. He is confident, why did he come to me?" If the auction company's business is done, it will not make much money, and Mr. Gao is willing to agree that there is no need for me to be an intermediary at all. ”
"Because I'm going to get my brothers back."
He Dingxian responded with a smile: "The person who beat me, where is the beating, always needs a person of reputation to testify." ”
"Representative He is the best person."
He Xian smiled bitterly: "Thanks to Mr. He, at twelve o'clock at noon, we will eat together at Antai Restaurant." ”
"Mr. Fu and Mr. Gao will be there."
He Dingxian nodded: "Thank you Representative He for taking the bridge, don't disturb Representative He's office first, see you at noon." ”
"See you at noon."
Ho Xian got up and raised his hand to see him off, and the secretary opened the door and called for the next citizen.
He Dingxian took up a little of the reception time of the Chinese representatives, and every extra second used was actually an injustice to the Chinese in Haojiang. Although, most of the people who look for He representative every day are, but maybe there is something important?
It is enough to ask for a few words for a valid reason and get a reply.
Ho Xian packed up his emotions and continued to receive the next citizen, until he finished receiving the last one at ten o'clock, then rested for a while, picked up the record book in the secretary's hand, and checked the consultation received today. Most of them can be left to the people below to solve, and a few involve policies and public works, such as adding water pipes, electricity bills are too expensive, etc., and need to go out in person to contact the authorities. The reason why he is supported by the Chinese in Haojiang is because he, as a representative of the Chinese, will really do things for the Chinese.
Although many things are hard work and may not have results, he has an echo for the public. What is the result of the completion of the matter, and what are the procedures, I personally wrote letters to the citizens one by one.
But today, He Dingxian personally visited the door, which really made him feel tricky, because he knew Hong Kong Island too well this Chinese bigwig who was one word different from him, and recently heard that the other party was elected vice president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. It can be said that with a wave of arms, more than 300,000 Chaoshan people will do things for him!
"I came to the office to find me, just because I had to be involved, this brother surnamed He is really cheeky." He Xian lit a cigarette, took a puff, and exhaled: "Call Taixing Entertainment Company and explain the matter clearly to Mr. Fu and Mr. Gao, no matter what, you must come to eat that meal at noon." ”
"Got it, Mr. Ho."
The male secretary replied with a bow and exited the office.
Street.
A teahouse.
He Dingxian ordered a table of refreshments, ordered a pot of Pu'er, and beckoned Qiu Degen, Ah Zai, Lan Gang, and Ni Kun to sit down together. Lan Gang used to be a detective in Wan Chai, and later transferred to Tsuen Wan as a detective, and now he is transferred to the Ministry of Operations as a senior inspector.
"Hurry up and eat." He Dingxian poured a row of five cups of tea, turned the disc, gave the cups of tea to his brothers, and said loudly: "Take people across the sea to Haojiang to negotiate with the head snake of the land, I am always afraid that I will not be able to eat enough, so I will fill my stomach first." ”
"I don't have the strength to lift the table until noon."
Qiu Degeng, Ah Zai, Lan Gang and others picked up the cups and looked like they were all looking at each other when they drank tea.
"Huh."
"Big guy, don't waste food."
The rest of the brothers opened a table next to them and ate by themselves.
He Dingxian picked up a bean paste bag, took a bite, and sighed: "There are more than a dozen Chinese representatives in Haojiang, Fu Laorong and Gao Kening are actually Chinese representatives, but He Xian is the only one who opens an office and regularly receives Chinese citizens in the studio. ”
"It is not surprising that he is willing to work for the Chinese and is respected by the Chinese, and it is no wonder that he has been able to come from behind and become the most trusted person between the Chinese and the authorities."
Many of the bigwigs on Hong Kong Island have either economic compradors or political compradors in their relationship with the authorities.
It's hard to come up with someone who really speaks for the Chinese.
He Xian stood very high!
It's no surprise that he's so well mixed.
Qiu De even said: "I heard from a friend that Representative He used to set up a Huilong silver account in Guangdong Province, mainly engaged in stock and gold business, and the business was originally prosperous, but later the exchange in Guangcheng was directly closed due to the war. ”
"He came to Haojiang with the refugees for refuge, relied on his previous experience, went to work in Dafeng Bank, and helped Dafeng make a lot of money by speculating in gold, and is now the manager of Dafeng Yin."
"In order to win him over, Fu Laorong is no longer involved in the operation and is waiting for dividends."
Interestingly, the person who founded Huilong Silver with Ho Xian in Guangdong Province was the founder of Hong Kong Island Hang Seng Silver, "Ho Sin Heng". Two close friends from the business community, one went to Hong Kong Island, and the other fled to Haojiang, and both made a fortune on their respective turf.
Twenty years later, when Dafeng Bank was registered as a bank, He Xian was already the chairman of Dafeng and the largest shareholder, while Fu Laorong was blown away by the rain and wind, and he was no longer as heroic as he was in the past. However, the reason why Ho Xian was able to become a pivotal figure in Haojiang was due to a financial incident, that is, after the fall of Hong Kong Island, a large amount of silver flowed out of Hong Kong Island, and many Hong Kong Island businessmen transferred their assets to Haojiang to avoid risk.
As a result, the currency of the Haojiang authorities was insufficient, and it was not possible to pass the Japanese naval blockade by shipping to Haojiang by cargo ships after it was printed in Portugal in the past. In the absence of enough money, Ho Hin proposed to the board of directors of Banco Nacional Ultramarino to urgently print the currency.
Banco Nacional Ultramarino is under the jurisdiction of the Economic Bureau, and the news reached the ears of the Secretary of the Economic Bureau, Paul, including after meeting with Ho Xian, and then taking his advice. This wave of emergency self-printing currency reform allowed the Haojiang authorities to suck the capital of Hong Kong Island in a big gulp during the more than three years of the fall of Hong Kong Island, and carried out a period of rapid development for Haojiang.
You must know that Haojiang is a small Hong Kong island, which is extremely similar in terms of population growth and geographical history, and its geographical location is extremely close. Under the premise of the safety of Hong Kong Island, most people will choose a larger and better developed Hong Kong Island, but when Hong Kong Island fell, Haojiang became a transfer destination for capital.
This incident made Ho Xian cited by Paul as a cronie, which can be described as a step into high society.
Subsequently, Ho Xian also co-founded a "He'an" company with Paul, and in the case of the fall of Hong Kong Island and the cut off of transportation, the world's gold could only be transported to the mainland and Southeast Asia through the Haojiang River. Later, He'an Company also obtained the "gold franchise" license issued by the Economic Bureau, resulting in more than three years, half of Asia, gold trading, only this one, no other semicolon.
In the past three years, He Xian has completely taken off and saved tens of thousands of family fortunes, and his family background is not inferior to Fu Laorong and Gao Kening. And because he is a business partner with the director of the Economic Bureau, he has more face than the two in the eyes of the authorities.
In those three years, it was also the era when the gold industry in Haojiang was prevalent, and gold smuggling in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia was prosperous. As long as you dare to gamble on whether the Japanese naval guns have bullets, you can earn hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars by transporting gold once!
Chow Tai Fook, Chow Sang Sang and other gold banks all developed during this period, especially the "shark gall Zheng" is the most famous.
Now He Xian has participated in a lot of business, but he is still slightly inferior to Fu Laorong in the industry.
After all, Fu Laorong has an entertainment company as a cash cow, and the speed of industry penetration is extremely fast.
He can't be called the "King of Haojiang", but he already has the strength of the "Haojiang Boss", and he is really only close to the name of "King of Haojiang" for the Chinese and force the Haojiang authorities to apologize! "Hong Kong Island He Dingxian, Haojiang He Xian", this sentence is not said in vain!
"Fu Laorong is an old gambler, he used to gamble under the hands of warlords, and he only had money in his eyes, and he was not a high-grade character with Representative He." He Dingxian said loudly: "I still appreciate the big brother of my family more." ”
