Hong Kong Island Old Events

"What does it mean to collect money to do things?" When Boss Zheng heard the words "collecting money to do things", the hairy black mole on the right cheek seemed to move. His thick eyebrows slightly frowned, and there was a bit of fierceness on his face. He lowered his voice and said with a sense of oppression: "Whose money do you charge?"

"Can't find it." He Dingxian shook his head and sighed: "It may be for my bank, or it may be for your gold shop. In short, there is always one in the bank or gold street. I I don’t know which one it is, it’s hard to check, and no one dares to talk about it.”

Boss Zheng frowned and said in a deep voice: "There is a living survivor, can't we find out through trial?"

"He is not the bandit leader, he is just a bandit. He doesn't know anything about it." He Dingxian sneered: "Even if he says it, do we dare to believe it?"

"If you take a random bite and bite a giant crocodile, it will eat me too."

Boss Zheng looked at his shirt which was covered with scratches and even smelled of gun smoke, nodded and said, "I understand, I will find out."

He Dingxian did not continue to add fuel to the fire and left room for people to think, but Zheng Yutong sighed: "Inspector He, do you know where Dalin's goods were sold in the past?"

"I don't know." He Dingxian was immediately interested and said, "Does Boss Zheng have any news? We can continue digging. If Boss Zheng is willing to continue to help, it will definitely be beneficial."

Zheng Yutong sneered and said sarcastically: "How could it be sold on Hong Kong Island? It must have been in Haojiang."

The largest gold shop in Haojiang is not Chow Tai Fook, but Chow Sang Sang. Chow Tai Fook is a new store founded by Zheng Yu and his father-in-law "Zhou Zhiyuan". Chow Sang Sang is the ancestral business inherited by Zhou Zhiyuan's cousin Zhou Fangpu.

In his early years, Zheng Yu, his father Zheng Jingyi, and Zhou Zhiyuan worked together as clerks at Guangzhou's Guanxi silk and satin shop. Their wives were married at the same time, and they had a deep friendship. When they were drinking, they thought of this place, and they proposed to marry each other, promising that they would have a son and a daughter. , the two were born to be in-laws. Later, when the older Zhou Zhiyuan saw the war coming, he suggested: "In troubled times, being a servant for a lifetime cannot support the family."

The two decided to start their own businesses and go their separate ways. Zhou Zhiyuan and his cousin Zhou Fangpu went to Haojiang to start a business together, so that relatives could take care of each other.

The gold bank founded by Zhou Zhiyuan was named "Zhou Dafu", and the gold bank founded by Zhou Fangpu was named "Zhou Shengsheng". Zheng Jingyi returned to his hometown of Shunde and opened a grocery store to maintain food and clothing.

Zhou Fangpu’s father was in the gold shop business at No. 13 Bank in Guangzhou and opened a total of three gold shops. Therefore, Zhou Sangsheng actually preceded Chow Tai Fook. The founder of Chow Tai Fook entered the gold industry with the help of relatives. However, with the war, Guangzhou Gold The shop closed down and all business was transferred to Haojiang. Therefore, both Chow Tai Fook and Chow Sang Sang established their businesses in Haojiang. Due to the advantages of their ancestral business, Chow Sang Sang was second to none in the gold industry in Haojiang.

It was not until after the war that Chow Tai Fook came to Hong Kong to open a gold shop. He risked his life to start a business by smuggling gold. How expensive was gold during the war?

After the war, a large number of people fled to Shanghai and Hong Kong, holding large amounts of foreign exchange to buy gold. The price of gold continued to rise, and supply exceeded demand.

It was under such circumstances that Chow Tai Fook laid its foundation in Hong Kong Island and gradually grew bigger, facing Chow Sang Sang across the sea.

Since Shunde was close to Haojiang, Zheng Yutong often traveled between the two places after his birth to keep in touch with Zhou Zhiyuan.

He dropped out of middle school due to the war and was sent directly to Haojiang by his father. At that time, his father Zheng Jingyi was afraid that he was young and energetic and would not know how to promote him, so he warned him: "The Zhou family has become prosperous in Haojiang. Whether or not I recognize you as my son-in-law is another matter. Now I am going to Haojiang." Jiang is just for food, so he works diligently and remember not to think of himself as his young master."

Zheng Yutong understood in his heart that he kept his father's words in mind and worked hard when he came to Haojiang. Every day, the shopkeeper came to the store an hour early to help open the stall, arrange goods, and clean.

Zhou Zhiyuan also never mentioned the marriage contract and only used it as an ordinary clerk. It showed that his son-in-law was practical and capable, and he was secretly happy in his heart.

After that, Zheng Yutong went to foreign goldsmiths every morning to observe styles and learn foreign gold jewelry designs, and the business plan he proposed was approved by his father-in-law.

In the end, Chow Tai Fook won the performance crown among many stores in Haojiang with its comprehensive styles and variety, and later became the well-known Chenglong Kuaisheng.

This kind of son-in-law who is married on the fingertips of a dragon is not ordinary. He not only has the feeling of two families becoming one family, but also has the family affection that he has grown up with since childhood.

Cheng Yu-tung did not change his surname after getting married, but he won the favor of his father-in-law and took charge of Chow Tai Fook's Hong Kong business and was responsible for developing business on Hong Kong Island.

After repeated hard work, Zheng Yutong has become a celebrity in the gold industry, and everyone praises him, but now it is not his limit!

It can be said that Zheng Yutong is just twenty-seven years old now. Although he is famous, he is at the age when he is ambitious and ambitious.

In his heart, he wants to become the world's jewelery king and the number one person in Hong Kong. In fact, Zhou Zhiyuan will also hand over all Chow Tai Fook to him in five years!

In this situation, Chow Sang Sang's boss was naturally unhappy with Zheng Yutong. How could the Zhou family's property be handed over to an outsider? Is that still the gold number of the Zhou family?

Damn, Chow Tai Fook, Chow Tai Fook, Chow Tai Fook’s boss’s surname is Zheng, his words make people laugh!

At the same time, Zhou Fangpu and his son were somewhat displeased with Chow Tai Fook's coming from behind and surpassing them in inheriting the ancestral business.

The two stores themselves are relatives who want to support each other, but competition will inevitably arise when they grow bigger. There are many twists and turns in the process, and there are many worries.

This is where the century-old rivalry between the two gold shops begins.

Zheng Yutong did not make it clear, but He Dingxian heard that Dalin and others' goods would eventually fall into Zhou Shengsheng's hands.

There is no way, the gold stolen from the gold shop will always be sold to the gold shop, and the goods from Hong Kong Island must be sold in Haojiang...

Not only is it close, it does not belong to the same government and has no legal restrictions.

"It seems that Brother Tong is very unhappy with Zhou Shengsheng. Sure enough, we are enemies and relatives are useless." He Dingxian secretly laughed in his heart: "What's more, his surname is Zheng."

With this layer of inside information, it seems that Zheng Yutong can no longer be soft-hearted. If he doesn't find an unlucky guy to come out and establish his authority, wouldn't anyone be able to rob his gold shop?

Twenty or thirty years later, if one or two of Chow Tai Fook's gold shops were robbed, it would only be a drop in the bucket. It doesn't matter. But now, the loss of one shop is enough to make Chow Tai Fook heartbroken. Two more times will be very painful. .

At this time, Meng Yuanda knocked on the door and shouted: "Sir, the goods have been counted."

"OK."

He Dingxian stood up with a smile and called Zheng Yutong downstairs: "Boss Zheng will inspect a pair of goods again. Gold is different from others. Any drop of gold powder will be a loss."

"Thank you for your understanding, Detective He. I won't pretend to be pretentious and go take a look." Zheng Yutong nodded and walked down the stairs to find the guy in charge of ordering the goods.

He Dingxian turned around and said, "How's it going? You didn't take too much, did you?"

Meng Yuanda said flatteringly: "Brothers have to obey the orders of the boss. I really don't dare to touch a gram, but some will be missed when searching for goods."

"Really or not." He didn't believe that the hands of the agents below could be clean, but he couldn't chop off his little brother's hands, as long as he didn't go too far.

Zheng Yutong also asked the waiter in a low voice: "What's going on? How much less?"

The waiter said: "It's less than three hundred grams. For ten kilograms, Detective He is very considerate."

Zheng Yutong breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Sure enough, Chaoshan's territory is ours and it's easy for our people to do things. If it were the Dongguan Gang, it would be at least five hundred."

"This is considered normal fire consumption. Write it down in the account. The gold shop will be renovated overnight. Don't delay the opening tomorrow."

He confessed.

The guy nodded quickly: "I understand, Brother Tong."

Zheng Yutong smiled and turned around to say hello: "Inspector He, I have brought a reporter here to take a photo with the evidence. Otherwise, if the things are taken away, it will not look good in the newspaper... I also want to put it in the newspaper to thank the Mong Kok Criminal Division. guys."

"OK!"

He Dingxian was not polite.

The two stood in front of the arranged gold, adjusted their postures, shook hands with each other, one looked humble, and the other expressed warm thanks.

"Crack!"

The next day, the front page headline of "Oriental Daily News" read, "Inspector Hua kills a big thief in Mongkok, Chow Tai Fook comes to collect gold" has been compiled.

"Boss Zheng, you should go back and do your work first. If you need anything, send a message. If you can help, I will definitely help." He Dingxian saw the guests off at the door of the mission building.

Zheng Yutong smiled happily and said: "No problem, I'll call you for tea when I have time. Don't miss it."

"No, no."

Zheng Yutong nodded: "Just call me Ah Tong from now on. You're welcome. If you have any emergency, you can come to me at the gold shop on Queen's Road."

"That was Chow Tai Fook's big shop on Hong Kong Island, the first gold shop."

"Okay, Brother Tong." He Dingxian chuckled: "Same for you, just call me A-Xian."

Zheng Yutong, who had grown a few years older, was no longer polite when he heard this. He smiled and led people out of the mission, got into a car at the door and left.

"Ading." In the car, Zheng Yutong opened his mouth and ordered the driver: "Find out who hired the thieves. If it is really those uncles from Haojiang, then it is too much. Steal my gold and sell it? I want their lives." !”

"I know, brother Tong." A Dingchang is young and delicate, with cheerful features, but he is a fierce man who fought pirates at sea with Zheng Yutong.

"What if not?" A Ding asked.

"If not, he would have robbed our goods and smashed up our shop, and he would still be killed!" Zheng Yutong said in a fierce tone: "Chow Tai Fook's golden number can only be entered with money or a gun. I want his head!"

This gold was brought back to Hong Kong by him across the ocean, how could he allow others to touch it at will?

Those on the shore are all petty thieves, but these days, those in troubled waters are the strong ones.

…

When Shao Weimei received the news that Dalin and others were shot to death on Nathan Road and that a criminal was arrested, he was completely panicked.

Last month, we had a terrible fight with the police in Central. Why did the fight stop as soon as we arrived in Kowloon?

Hold!

A bunch of garbage couldn't even die cleanly, and one of them had to survive. Shao Weimei was so anxious that he wanted to confess to his father and uncle but didn't have the courage, so he had to sit on the sofa and smoke and secretly resented it.

"Weimei!"

"Go upstairs, I have something to ask you." A voice from Shao Village suddenly came from upstairs. He had just finished answering a phone call.

…

"Tongzi, are you back?" Zhou Zhiyuan said loudly when he saw his son-in-law returning home while sitting on a wooden chair in the living room on the first floor soaking in hot water.

"Dad." Zheng Yutong returned to the house on Queen's Road. He was in a bad mood and took off his clothes and handed them to his wife Zhou Cuiying.

Since he had been managing Chow Tai Fook's store and had lived in Hong Kong for a long time, he naturally lived with his father-in-law's family. His father did not come to Hong Kong Island but was retiring in his hometown.

Since his father-in-law was very kind to him, he would just go back and forth as if he were at home. He threw the car keys on the table and heard his father-in-law Zhou Zhiyuan ask: "Went to the Mong Kok Police Station and saw the powerful man from the Chamber of Commerce?"
