Codename Doctor, Moved to Hong Kong

Chapter 57 Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai Chamber of Commerce 2
"Master Zhang..."

"Boss Tang, from now on you can call me Mr. Zhang, or just call me by my name!

We are not members of a gang, so there is no need to call him Master Zhang. " Zhang Chaoyang interrupted Tang Zhenyuan and corrected him with a smile.

In Shanghai, the original owner was half black and half white. Many people were afraid of him, so they respectfully called him Master Zhang.

Now that he is in Hong Kong, there is no need for others to call him Uncle Zhang anymore. Although it sounds quite satisfying, Zhang Chaoyang does not really like this title.

"Yes, Master Zhang!
We'll listen to you and call you Mr. Zhang from now on!" Tang Zhenyuan agreed obediently.

After a pause, Tang Zhenyuan continued to report: "Mr. Zhang, the preparations for the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce have been almost completed. Currently, there are more than 280 people willing to join the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Those who came today are all outstanding businessmen from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai."

"More than 280 people. There are quite a few businessmen from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Originally there should have been more, but many people have no news after coming to Hong Kong. They might have been assassinated." Speaking of this, Tang Zhenyuan felt quite sad.

“My third brother and his family came here two months earlier than me. When I was in my hometown, I received a telegram from him reporting that he was safe, but after arriving in Hong Kong, I lost contact with my third brother.

A family of five disappeared without a trace." Su Huaishan from Zhenjiang said sadly.

"An old friend of mine also disappeared without a trace after arriving in Hong Kong."

"After my brother-in-law and his family came to Hong Kong, we couldn't get in touch with them anymore."

Everyone started talking about people they knew who had come to Hong Kong and disappeared.

"I know what you are talking about!
There were several gangs with the same name in their names on the Kowloon Peninsula before, and there was also a gang called the Sun Yee On, which was capable of committing all kinds of evil. Many of the businessmen who came to Hong Kong early in the morning were kidnapped by them, and after their property was drained away, they were sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Especially the societies starting with "和". When the Japanese occupied Hong Kong, they were one step ahead of them and robbed and plundered the merchants in Yau Tsim Mong.

After the Japanese came, these societies with the word "和" in their names became their running dogs.

What they did was even more despicable than the Japanese devils."

"It's so abominable, he's just a beast!" Everyone started cursing.

“Everyone, don’t curse anymore. I believe you have heard some news. Now, the He-Zi-On group, the Sun Yee On group, and the newly established Hung Fat Shan Loyalty Hall have all had their flags pulled down.

There are now three new communities occupying the Kowloon Peninsula.

These three societies seem to be OK at the moment. As long as they pay the protection fee according to the rules, they will not harass the merchants. " Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Zhang is right. My factory is run by a gang called Shanhe Gang. As long as you pay protection money, they will not harass the factory workers.

However, they also said that if we want to build factories or houses in the future, we have to look for them.”

"The Shanhe Gang has monopolized the construction industry on the Kowloon Peninsula. No matter who wants to build a house, they have to go through them!"

Everyone started talking about what they had learned.

"What are their prices? Has anyone dealt with them recently?" Zhang Chaoyang asked.

"Mr. Zhang, my factory in Sha Tau Kok has just started construction, and it is managed by the Shanhe Gang.

Their prices are very fair, they don't overcharge!
Moreover, we can save a lot of trouble by handing it over to them. We don’t have to worry about government departments, fire departments, and police. They will take care of everything.”

"That's not bad, in that case, then just ignore them!
Before, I had inquired about the deeds of the Sun Yee On group and was planning to send someone to eliminate them, but they got there first. Then the foreigners bullied me and I didn't have time to deal with them.

I still say that after the establishment of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, as long as you do not do anything against your moral conscience, no one can bully you, not even the governor!" Zhang Chaoyang concluded.

Naturally, everyone started to flatter him again, saying all kinds of nice things for free. The businessmen from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai nominated Zhang Chaoyang as the chairman just for this sentence.

Then some things were said about the establishment of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and it was decided that the first plenary meeting of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce would be held on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

The meeting will elect the president, executive vice president, vice president, permanent directors, directors, etc.

At noon, Zhang Chaoyang invited everyone to have lunch together.

Yang Meng came again today. After arriving, he went to find Hu Jiahui and Hu Jianing and played in the back garden.

It was during lunch time that he came out with Hu Jiahui and the other girl.

Zhang Chaoyang introduced the three women to everyone.

Seeing the three women, Tang Zhenyuan's eyes rolled around, not knowing what he was thinking.

The others also looked at the three women meaningfully, and then praised and complimented them.

After the meal, Zhang Chaoyang saw everyone off and invited them to come to his party on the third day of the junior high school entrance examination.

"Brother Chaoyang, can I come over and celebrate the New Year with you?" In the afternoon, Yang Meng found Zhang Chaoyang who was reading a newspaper alone, took his arm, and said coquettishly.

"OK!
You can come with your parents and brother tomorrow, and we can celebrate the New Year together!" Zhang Chaoyang said with a smile.

"Really! That's great!" Yang Meng shouted happily, then kissed Zhang Chaoyang on the face, turned around and ran away.

Looking at Yang Meng who was running away, Zhang Chaoyang smiled and shook his head.

There is no problem in celebrating the New Year together tomorrow.

He had already made arrangements that all the company's management would come to Zhang Mansion to celebrate the New Year tomorrow.

This is their first New Year in Hong Kong, so naturally they want to celebrate it together.

Yang Deqing is the editor-in-chief of Hong Kong Morning Post and a member of the company's management, so naturally he will come to celebrate the New Year together.

So, Zhang Chaoyang did not deceive Yang Meng.

However, he didn't expect that he was kissed secretly even though he was just telling the truth.

In a blink of an eye, it was the next day, New Year’s Eve.

The Zhang Mansion has been decorated according to the Chinese New Year customs.

Spring Festival couplets, big Chinese characters for "Fu" and red lanterns are posted on all the doors.

Even the windows were covered with paper-cut paintings.

The Western-style castle, decorated according to Chinese New Year customs, seems somewhat out of place, but it doesn't matter.

Just be happy!
Zhang Chaoyang also changed into a bright red Tang suit in the morning and chatted with the company's core management in reception room No. 1.

As for cooking and the layout of the Zhang Mansion, these matters were naturally taken care of by the two sisters Hu Jiahui and the female members of the core management team, so he didn't need to worry about them.

"Old Zhao, have you acquired the land for building the Crystal Palace that we talked about last time?" Zhang Chaoyang looked at Zhao Donglai and asked.

"Sir, we have taken over all the surrounding land. Not to mention building a crystal palace, it is enough to even build a small crystal city." Zhao Donglai replied quickly.
