Hong Kong Island Old Events

When He Dingxian put down his wine glass and left the Mid-Levels Villa with Luo Wenjin, Jian Leqiang, Xian Defen and others, the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce was already settled.

This incident can easily frighten young people, but it cannot frighten an outlaw maniac. When a person uses his seniority and reputation to suppress you, you must stand up and say "go to hell" and then hold a gun against him. Head, tell him that old bones are not worthy of talking.

If you can withstand the shock, you will win.

Can't stand it,

Just lose!

This does not even depend on hard power, because everyone has strength. It depends on the political image of walking in the world and the style of conduct along the way.

"Axian."

"gone back."

Beside the mountain road.

Luo Wenjin patted him on the shoulder and said with deep eyes: "Let the Chamber of Commerce develop well. The four major families will still support the Chamber of Commerce. The rest depends on you young people."

"Thank you, Uncle Jin."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

He Dingxian bowed deeply and respectfully.

Luo Wenjin and Luo Wenhui left by car. Jian Leqiang and Xian Defen also left Banshan by car after saying hello to He Dingxian. He Dingxian looked back at the Zhou Mansion, knowing that the Zhou Junnian family had lost its authority as the leader.

As long as the remaining three major families are willing to support him, the Zhou Junnian family can only follow the trend.

"Back to Wyndham Street."

He Dingxian spoke out and bent down to sit in the car. Lan Gang closed the door and responded: "Yes, sir."

A month later, the Guangdong Provincial United Chamber of Commerce was formally established, and Ruihe Hall was set up as a place. On the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, a plaque was unveiled, firecrackers were set off, a lion picked green leaves, and there were many guests. Not only the four major families came out to stand in person, but also the East Asia University More than 40 chambers of commerce, large and small, all sent flower baskets to congratulate them.

He Dingxian was elected as the first chairman of the United Chamber of Commerce through an open election. He is also a permanent director and president of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce. Fang Suquan serves as vice chairman and permanent director. Huo Guantai serves as secretary-general and non-permanent director.

Li Guanchun, Zheng Yutong, Chen Lanfang and Feng Jinxi serve as permanent directors, and there are five non-permanent directors, such as Wang Laoji, Chen Weinan, Wang Zhongming, etc.

Unless impeached or voluntarily resigns, permanent directors serve for life and no vacancy elections are held. Non-permanent directors are elected every two years and are elected together with the rotating chairman. Non-permanent directors can run for the position of rotating chairman. New permanent directors need to be voted by the permanent council to take effect. There is no limit on the number of times an individual can serve as rotating chairman, but they cannot serve continuously. President.

This series of systems limits the power of the Chamber of Commerce Chairman, but strengthens the powers of the Permanent Council, making the United Chamber of Commerce an organization that truly puts the people first, is harmonious and profitable, and unites as one. It can at least prevent the Chamber of Commerce from becoming someone's personal tool.

Shao Yifu, the president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, also brought people to congratulate him that day and presented him with a golden toad for making money as a gift.

When He Dingxian saw Shao Yifu, he smiled very happily. He personally brought people up to propose a toast, chatting and laughing happily, and he was very proud of himself. Of course, Yifu Shaw was not idle when the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce was established. Shaw Brothers' first Huangmei opera film "Diao Chan" was released, subverting the film style of Hong Kong Island in one fell swoop. It grossed HK$200,000 in the first month, shocking the business community.

At the same time, Wu Aqing led the Dinghai Society to flourish in Nanyang. With the support of Lin Youfu, he strongly intervened in the underground gambling stalls. When He Dingxian received the news from Jiang Tianyang, he couldn't help but sigh at Shao Yifu's shrewdness. On the bright side, Lin Youfu was indeed the most promising politician. He was betting that Lin Youfu could not only develop his power but also please the British. This would be a great influence on Singapore. Business in both places is favorable.

Moreover, after "Diao Chan" received a lot of box office in Hong Kong Island, it was sent to Singapore for release, earning another HK$300,000 through Singapore's Shaw Brothers Cinemas.

The Shaw Brothers film empire has begun to take shape. The Shanghai-Shanghai Chamber of Commerce is also vigorously developing the light industry and textile industry in Hong Kong. Fengde has received capital injection from a favorable bank and has become a joint venture bank. The Shanghai-Shanghai Chamber of Commerce has started to get involved in the real estate industry.

Within the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce, Li Guanchun and Feng Pingshan jointly founded Chinese Land. This company later became the most famous real estate company under the playboy "Liu Jianxiong", but it actually has a very deep history. The founder, Li Guanchun, was the boss of the Bank of East Asia and a spokesman for the Wuyi Chamber of Commerce. His family members were spread across the political and business circles. Feng Pingshan was a wealthy businessman in Guangdong before World War II, the boss of the Thirteenth Bank, and a shareholder of the Bank of East Asia.

This was the first time that the Wuyi Gang entered the real estate industry. Soon after, Shunde businessman "Guo Desheng" established Acer Enterprises. In addition to operating the "Hongchang" factory and manufacturing zippers for Ri Island, it was also the first time to get involved in real estate projects, operating demolished buildings and small sites. reconstruction.

Within the Guangdong Provincial Chamber of Commerce, more than 30 real estate companies, large and small, well-known and unknown in the future, have been established. The two major chambers of commerce are the first to compete in the Hong Kong property market.

One month after "Diao Chan", "Loyalty to the Country" jointly produced by Oriental Pictures and International Film and Television was released, which was in line with the rising nationalism after the war. for screening.

Shao Yifu was in a tough fight.

"Sir, Governor General will move out of Victoria Peak tomorrow and return to London to serve as Secretary-General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." The change of Governor is the hottest news in Hong Kong Island at the moment. More than two million citizens in Hong Kong are paying close attention to it, regardless of whether they are in all walks of life. Industry.

The citizens were uneasy about the arrival of the new governor.

Sitting in his office, wearing uniform and leather boots, Jian Baoning had been informed of the Governor's next position.

He Dingxian couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Sir Ge still has a backer. Even if he makes a mess in Hong Kong Island, he can still be promoted when he returns."

"No way."

Jian Baoning held a cigarette between his fingers, shook his head and said: "When a diplomat is transferred to the governorship, the party in charge is considered a promotion. When the governor is transferred back to the master's house, as long as he does not enter the parliament or goes to a local office, he is demoted. Sir Ge has been in power for ten years and his political achievements have been very good. Beautiful, it is said that the taxes paid on Hong Kong Island have tripled. Logically speaking, if you go back you can at least join the House of Representatives and become a master, and the whole family can move up a level."

"Now I just go back to serve in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I will retire after working for two years."

He Dingxian laughed and said, "Why don't you retire?"

"Fuck me until I die!"

Jian Baoning sipped his words and smiled.

"Where's the new Governor?"

He Dingxian crossed his legs.

"not decided."

Jian Baoning made it clear that he had a channel to return to his family to stop the trouble. Shi Gong said firmly: "Due to the rapid changes in the situation in Nanyang and Hong Kong Island, the family has not decided on a candidate for the time being. Chief Secretary David will be the first to act. Governor, we will not send out a new governor until the ancestral family confirms the candidate."

He Dingxian nodded: "Your cabinet is very cautious. In fact, it doesn't matter whoever it is, you can either collect money or collect corpses, just choose one."

Jian Baoning said with a smile: "People have to adapt to the environment."

the next day.

Governor Ge Hongliang moved out of the Governor's Residence in Taipingshan and led a group of department officials at the door. After giving his resignation speech to the newspaper reporters, he was escorted by a motorcade to the Peninsula Hotel. The Governor will stay at the Peninsula Hotel for one night and fly out of Hong Kong Island the next day.

Although Ge Hongliang's administrative goal has always been to serve the British, during his administration, he opened the border, admitted immigrants, and put forward the slogan that Hong Kong people should be the mainstay. A series of measures not only benefited a large number of people who fled Hong Kong, but also significantly developed the economy of Hong Kong Island. .

This has indeed allowed Ge Hongliang to gain a certain amount of public support. From He Dingxian's point of view, Sir Ge can be regarded as a "capable minister" who is willing to do things and can achieve results. However, the enemy's hero and my enemy have different positions. Only appreciation, no mercy.

Acting Governor "David" gave a radio speech and announced his inauguration. At noon that day, many underground gambling stalls in Hong Kong had already started betting on how long David could serve as acting governor. From one day to one year, the odds were getting closer and closer within one month. High, the odds are higher the longer after March, with the lowest odds in the middle.

The agency offers an odds of one to one thousand for becoming a full-time agent.

This is because there has never been an acting governor in the history of Hong Kong Island who could be promoted to full office. Strictly speaking, the acting governor and the governor are two professions. The acting governor is only responsible for the short-term management of Hong Kong Island affairs, and is often filled by the Colonial Secretary, who only Count the officials promoted in Hong Kong.

The Governor was a politician. He was connected to the Colonial Secretary and had support in the House of Representatives. He was connected to the Colonial Bank and could manage capital transportation.

Moreover, the governor has a long term of office and can implement policies, while the acting governor has a short term of office and is only responsible for coordinating policies.

In the end, David served as the Acting Governor for 24 days, and the new Governor was "Bai Liji". The former Governor of Singapore resigned after Ma Siowa became the Chief Minister. Now he was transferred to Hong Kong Island to serve as the 23rd Governor. Apparently, Britain realized that Hong Kong Island and The Chinese in Nanyang have already begun political cooperation. The new governor not only needs to understand the situation on Hong Kong Island, but also needs to understand the situation in Nanyang and even be influential. Only then can we win the fight against the Chinese and bring the colony back on track.

In Nanyang, after Ma Siowa became the chief minister, Daying appointed a new governor. However, the new governor has completely lost his dominance. Bai Liji can be regarded as the last governor of Singapore with real power.

Of course, the last governor always played the role of a firefighter wherever he was.

Letting Bai Liji serve as the governor of Hong Kong Island may be a reward from his ancestors. However, the Chinese in Nanyang were resentful of the puppet governor of Singapore and had been putting pressure on Ma Shaohua, hoping that in addition to participating in political power, the Chinese could also gain autonomy and get rid of their colonial status.

As a hardliner among the Chinese, Ma Shaohua was good at rioting, but had shortcomings in political negotiation. After many rounds of consultations with British representatives, there was still no result. Especially after Ma Siowa became the chief minister and transitioned from being in opposition to being in power, violence was not an option for the problems he faced. Because, when he stood on stage, he was already responsible for the economy and the current situation, and his political incompetence caused a lot of disputes for a while. There were several riots in Singapore involving more than a thousand people, and many of them included members of the Haidian Society.

Ma Siew Hock had no choice but to resign on his own initiative. Subsequently, Lim Yew Hock successfully came to power with the support of the Chinese Labor Front, UMNO and PML-N, and became the second Chinese chief minister, responsible for negotiating with the British.

Tai Kwun.

He Dingxian lowered his head and pinched his watch and asked: "What time will the new governor's plane land?"
