Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"It's terrible!" Du Yongxiao woke up from the plank bed early in the morning, only to feel back pain.

The family was poor, and the bed he slept on was so hard that he would die after a full night's sleep.

With a broken washbasin, a white towel, and an enamel tea mug with a toothbrush inserted in the other hand, Du Yongxiao yawned and went out. He looked at the corridor, my dear, there was a long queue outside the toilet, and the big guy was full of faces. Sleepy, holding a basin, biting a toothbrush, messy.

This is a public housing estate in Shek Kip Mei. There is only one toilet on the first floor. You can take a shower inside the toilet, and there is a faucet outside the toilet for washing. For this reason, there will be many people queuing up to wash their faces and brush their teeth early in the morning, and take away their shit and pee to take a bath.

"Do you have a sense of public morality, stuck in the toilet for so long?"

"Yeah, don't think that you are great because of your strength?"

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and cursed at the guy blocking the toilet, but no one dared to take the initiative to step forward.

Du Yongxiao squeezed through the crowd and looked in, but he saw his younger brother Du Yongshun standing in front of him with his arms folded, as if he was the only man who was in charge.

"Hey, get out of the way quickly, I'm not easy to mess with, Snake Boy!" A new guy who had just moved in didn't understand the situation, and said angrily at Du Yongshun.

Du Yongshun snorted and stamped his right foot on the ground!

Bang!

The earth shakes and the mountains shake!

There was a crack in the tiles under my feet!

Looking at the other floor tiles around the densely packed cracks like spider webs, it can be seen that this situation has been going on for a long time.

She Ziming's eyeballs almost fell off, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and coughed hurriedly: "Just pretend I didn't say that!"

"Little brother, what are you doing?" Du Yongxiao squeezed forward and asked.

As soon as Du Yongshun saw his eldest brother, he smirked "hehe": "Boss, I'll help you see the toilet, they can't use it, you can use it!"

"Huh?" Du Yongxiao was stunned for a moment.

"What are you still doing?" Dad Du Dapao didn't know when he squeezed to his side, "Your younger brother will come over to help you guard the toilet in the middle of the night, I'm afraid you will have to line up when you get up, even me, an old bean, will not be allowed in! Hurry up Lah, I'm about to suffocate!" Du Dapao looked uncomfortable with his legs crossed.

Unexpectedly, Du Yongxiao glanced at the younger brother.

Du Yongshun smirked at him.

A warm current flowed through Du Yongxiao's heart.

He didn't say anything, just nodded to Xi Lao, and then passed through the crowd and entered the toilet.

Du Yongshun pointed at everyone's noses from behind: "My elder brother has used it up, so you can use it again!"

Du Dapao scolded angrily: "You are not a filial son! I gave birth to you, and you have no conscience?! Oh, I can't hold it anymore!"

Arrogant and domineering, but no one said a word.

Du Yongshun, nicknamed "Stupid"!

Kowloon dock stevedores!

Great strength, hard fists!

Once killed a cow with one punch!

person -

Shek Kip Mei, little bully!

...

West Kowloon Police Station ---

At eight o'clock, Du Yongxiao will report here.

Looking at the time, it was 7:45, Du Yongxiao did not enter the police station, but chose a store nearby.

The store sells everything, daily groceries, snacks and non-staple food, and there are newspapers in front of the store.

"Excuse me! Here's a box of Marlboro!" Du Yongxiao snapped his fingers at the store owner.

The boss was a fat man. Seeing Du Yongxiao was dressed luxuriously, he smiled and took a box of Marlboro from the shelf and handed it to him.

Du Yongxiao took the cigarettes and was not in a hurry to pay the bill. Instead, he tore open the package and popped one out and handed it to the shop owner: "One for you?"

The fat boss is an iron rooster, he drives away beggars when they come to the door, and never gives money; Marlboro is very expensive, and he is even more reluctant to take it.

Seeing Du Yongxiao being so generous, the fat boss immediately took it with both hands: "Thank you!" Then he took out the matches and helped Du Yongxiao light his cigarette.

Du Yongxiao bit his cigarette, leaned over, asked the fat boss to put his hands together to help him light the cigarette, and patted the back of his hand to express his thanks.

The fat boss lit his own cigarette and took a puff happily. Free cigarettes are good.

Du Yongxiao leaned in front of the counter, squinted his eyes and let out a puff of smoke, and picked up a copy of the English "Tiger" spread out on the counter to read.

There are many kinds of newspapers in Hong Kong, which can be roughly divided into English newspapers and Chinese newspapers.

Among them, English newspapers are more expensive, and they are mainly for the upper class in Hong Kong, so that the rich and famous can read them.

The English-language "Tiger" is one of the best newspapers of this kind. It usually publishes a lot of important information, mostly about the government's public recruitment of construction teams, and foreign contracted construction projects.

Those businessmen who can't understand English are not qualified to participate in these big projects. Even if they can understand, they need someone from the government to help them.

In addition, this newspaper will also publish some important financial and entertainment content, and it is easy to find business opportunities if you read carefully.

Du Yongxiao took the newspaper and read it seriously. The fat boss smoked a cigarette to reconfirm his identity as the son-in-law. After all, there are not many English newspapers in this age.

Du Yongxiao briefly flipped through the newspaper, and his eyes were attracted by a McDonald's advertisement on it.

As a world-class fast food overlord, McDonald's from the United States is going all out to enter Hong Kong during this time, publishing newspaper advertisements to recruit partners.

It's a pity that Hong Kong people in this era are not very interested in the new thing "McDonald's", so Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories can't even find a store location, let alone quickly open up the situation.

In fact, since McDonald's was fully acquired by Ray Kroc in the United States in 1960 for 2.8 million US dollars, the fast food tycoon has started the road of global chain expansion.

For this reason, McDonald's relies on the "quick service system" to provide French fries, hamburgers, and milk tea to customers as soon as possible, and quickly expands its stores in the United States.

Now that the European and American markets have basically opened up, McDonald's has set its sights on Dongying, Baodao and Hong Kong in Asia.

Du Yongxiao once read a book "The Legend of McDonald's" published in 2007 in his last life. He knew that McDonald's planned to enter Hong Kong in 1967 this year, but finally encountered collective resistance from local milk tea shops in Hong Kong and failed. It wasn't until 1975, eight years later, that McDonald's made a comeback and opened its first branch on Paterson Street, Causeway Bay.

"This is an opportunity!" Du Yongxiao flicked his cigarette and sighed inwardly.

If you have money, invest directly in McDonald's, and still not make a lot of money? !

"Detective Yan is here, idlers wait to get out of the way!"

A yell broke Du Yongxiao's reverie, and when he looked up, he saw a black Ford sedan with a 666 license plate slowly driving towards the police station.

The fat boss saw it clearly, and said contemptuously: "This Yan Xiong is really arrogant, those who don't know think he is the Governor of Hong Kong!"

Four plainclothes people helped drive away the vendors blocking both sides of the street and helped the car move forward. Another four plainclothes people followed behind the car to protect Yan Xiong's safety.

The fruit stand was overturned, apples and crispy pears rolled to the ground; the Xirong stall was also kicked down, and the soup dripped all over the floor!

For a moment, the whole street was flying like dogs and dogs——!
