"All those reporters quit?"

"Yes, they took Yan Xiong's money and quit!"

"There is no cure!"

Bailiqu drank tea, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of disdain.

"There's no way, they're all afraid of Yan Xiong."

"Are you afraid of Yan Xiong, or are you afraid of Du Yongxiao behind Yan Xiong?"

"Ahem, this-"

"He just came back, it's so majestic, if it's been a long time, then what's the deal?" Bailiqu snapped the teacup, put it on the table, and looked up at his henchman: "What's next, I know, what to do?" ”

The henchman hurriedly stepped forward: "I have contacted the TV station. ”

Bailiqu smiled: "Really? Then push him to the crest! Hiding is not always the way to go! ”

"Yes, Lord Sir!"

Henchmen go down.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Crunch, the door opened.

One person came in, and it turned out to be the Kowloon Bus boss Lei Juekun.

Bailiqu glanced at Lei Juekun, stretched out his hand and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Lei Juekun hesitated and found a seat to sit down.

"Mr. Lui, you should know that our Hong Kong government values you very much, and the proposal on your bid for Hong Kong Island buses and New Territories buses is still ongoing."

When Lei Juekun heard this, he said happily: "Yes, thank you Lord Sir for your support." ”

"Hehe, don't say that. Although you are Chinese, I admire you very much, and the Hong Kong government also appreciates you, otherwise I would not have handed over such an important matter as the transportation line to you. ”

Since Hong Kong was controlled by the British, there are three major elements that they control, the first is water and electricity, the second is food, and the third is transportation.

In recent years, in order to win over the rising Chinese businessmen, some bigwigs led by Li Jiacheng have obtained the approval of the British and taken a share of the hydropower industry.

In contrast, the transportation business is the most profitable business opportunity for British capital, whether it is the main subway line or the bus main line, which is a well-known money-making route.

The reason why the Lei Juekun family was able to rise was because their family used large trucks to help the British transfer military supplies and daily necessities when the British fought against the Dongying people.

After Hong Kong was re-established, the British, in order to thank the Lui family for their help, handed over the Kowloon bus line to them to take care of.

Relying on this route, the Lei family rose in Hong Kong and became a well-known "traffic tycoon".

But for the Lui family, only one Kowloon bus line is far from satisfying, because Hong Kong is developing too fast, especially in terms of transportation, there is a need for more bus stops and more taxis to help people get around.

So Lui Juekun locked on two goals, the first is Hong Kong Island and the New Territories bus station, so that he can become the real king of Hong Kong buses.

The second is the "Hong Kong Lei's Taxi Company" established by Lei Juekun.

His company has the largest number of taxis in Hong Kong, with 300 taxis, carrying the Kowloon area.

If Bailiqu or the Hong Kong Governor's Office agrees to help him, he will hand over Hong Kong Island and the New Territories to him, and then his taxi company will be able to dominate the three places, plus his bus company, he Lei Juekun will really become the first person in Hong Kong in the field of transportation!

In other words, the development of bus lines and taxi companies is Lei Juekun's biggest appeal to the Hong Kong Governor's Office at the moment.

Bailiqu personally poured a cup of tea for Lei Juekun and handed it to him.

Lei Juekun hesitated for a moment and took the tea: "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Hehe, it's not a loss to Boss Lei, I know that there is no free dinner in this world."

After a pause, Bailiqu looked at Lei Juekun and said with a smile: "I know that Ling and Du Yongxiao are friends, and you also invested in Golden Harvest Movies together, and you even gave him the Golden Princess Cinema Line." But—"

Bailiqu took a sip of tea, raised his head and smiled slightly: "Now is also the time to choose, do you want to preserve your friendship with each other, or become your king of transportation?" ”

Lei Juekun's eyes flickered, and his expression was entangled.

Bailiqu didn't urge him, just tasted the tea slowly, and said in his mouth: "Actually, I used to dislike tea, and most of us British people like coffee." But since I came to Hong Kong, I have gradually become fond of tea. Therefore, people can change, hobbies can also change, nothing is static, including friendship-——"

After speaking, Bailiqu smiled faintly at Lei Juekun.

The corners of Lei Juekun's eyes twitched, a glimmer of light emanated, and he took the tea and drank it all, "I promise you!" ”

……

"City News!"

On TV, a female announcer reports to the camera.

"Chief Superintendent Du Yongxiao, who just returned from New York, promised to solve the problem of rickshaw survival as soon as possible!"

"At present, the number of rickshaws in Hong Kong is decreasing day by day and has been replaced by the taxi industry. The taxi industry is thriving like a sunrise enterprise, but the rickshaw industry is in decline——"

The female announcer gave a detailed introduction to the history of the rise and fall of rickshaws in Hong Kong.

Especially in Hong Kong in the 50s.

At that time, there were 1,700 rickshaws driving on the road, competing for business with the clanging Hong Kong trams and new cars and buses, at that time, the tram fare was six cents per person, six cents at the price at that time, you could eat a bowl of pig's blood porridge and two fritters, in order to fight against the new means of transportation, rickshaws had risen five cents to go to Hong Kong and Kowloon, with their feet against cars, and finally forced the Hong Kong government to stop issuing rickshaw licenses and restrict rickshaw routes.

Now, rickshaws and taxis are fighting again, and demonstrations are taking place at the Governor's Palace, angering the Governor's Mansion and almost suppressing it with riot police.

Under such circumstances, the rickshaw representatives "pinned" all their hopes on the first generation of Chief Superintendent Du Yongxiao, who had just returned to Hong Kong, hoping that Du Yongxiao would help them "uphold justice".

As we all know, Du Yongxiao is famous for his "benevolence and righteousness" in Hong Kong, and is even called "the Buddha of Ten Thousand Families" by many people, helping the people of Hong Kong solve many life problems, such as bringing water into Hong Kong and solving floods.

For example, building subdivided units, renting them out and selling them at low prices, so that those homeless refugees and people coming to Hong Kong have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

So much so that it is often said that Du Yongxiao has completely proved with his actions that "there are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy"!

In addition, Du Yongxiao also continued to donate money to the Hong Kong Red Cross, the Welfare Bureau, and subsidized the elderly and children.

He profoundly expressed the word "benevolence and righteousness" with his actions.

Now Du Yongxiao wants to make a decision for the rickshaw drivers in Hong Kong to solve their survival problems, which undoubtedly attracts everyone's attention.

At the same time—

The Hong Kong Taxi Association has also begun to take action.

The reason is very simple, if Du Yongxiao helps the rickshaw driver, it will be equivalent to moving their cheese, and Du Yongxiao will be their "public enemy" at that time.

For such a high-powered "public enemy", they had to take action and be on guard in advance.

And so—

Du Yongxiao is in a dilemma at the moment.

In the end, it is to be a "benevolent tycoon" to help those rickshaw drivers; Or be a "black-hearted capitalist" in response to the Hong Kong government's call to expand the scale of taxis.

The Hong Kong government, the upper class, the people -

We'll see!
