Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

The next day——

Du Yongxiao handled the affairs at hand as quickly as possible, especially regarding campus safety issues, and issued a notice to the Police Department: "Any social group or gang that threatens school safety must be reported as the most important case."

In other words, Du Yongxiao directly raised school safety to a new level.

In response, the Hong Kong government and Sir Bailiqu did not stop it, but just despised Du Yongxiao for making a political show, or more accurately, seeking fame.

Du Yongxiao didn't care about these. After issuing the order, he began to review the Hong Kong student textbooks of this era.

As a person who has experienced it, Du Yongxiao clearly knows that student textbooks are the top priority of education.

In many cases, the influence of the outside world on students is not as great as the influence of textbooks.

In particular, the harm of toxic textbooks will affect a generation or even several generations.

It would be better if it was not reviewed, but once it was reviewed, there was indeed a problem.

Hong Kong in this era was under the rule of the British Hong Kong government. Of course, the British government had to revise some history when ruling Hong Kong. For example, the Opium War was portrayed in textbooks as the Qing Dynasty's closed-door policy, and Britain was the savior, using cannons to blast open the door of the Qing Dynasty and bring democracy and freedom to China. The occupation of Hong Kong was the British and the Qing Dynasty following the "spirit of contract", which was another manifestation of "democracy".

In addition, the British Hong Kong government also tampered with historical events such as the destruction of opium in Humen and the Sanyuanli Anti-British War, once again portraying the British colonists as saviors.

Regarding the modern history of Hong Kong, the British Hong Kong government beautified it, portraying the British rule of Hong Kong as the Garden of Eden where the Chinese enjoyed democracy and freedom, and the object of envy of the Asian people.

Seeing this, Du Yongxiao just felt funny. The British are indeed old hands in politics and have thick skin.

No wonder there are so many sequelae after Hong Kong's return in the future, all from these poisonous textbooks.

Thinking of this, Du Yongxiao waved his hand and sent a circular to the British Hong Kong Ministry of Education without hesitation, asking them to respect the facts and re-plan history books.

Du Yongxiao is the Commissioner of Police. He essentially cannot influence the education department. However, this era is a deformed era. Especially after the rule of the four major detectives, the police force has a strong voice in all major systems in Hong Kong. In addition, Du Yongxiao has a unique identity, the first-class earl of the British Empire, a super tycoon in Hong Kong, a world-renowned entrepreneur, etc.

Most importantly, Du Yongxiao donates to the education department every year, subsidizes many teachers, and has won over many senior officials in the education department.

These people have more or less received Du Yongxiao's favor, including those foreigners.

After receiving Du Yongxiao's notice, they didn't think much about it. Anyway, education is a long-term thing. Even if they revise the textbooks, the effect will not be seen in a short time. Even if there is a problem, they will have retired long ago.

After doing all this, seeing that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, Du Yongxiao remembered that he had agreed with the "prematurely aged" alumnus Fang Feihong that there seemed to be a class reunion at eight o'clock tonight.

Du Yongxiao is not interested in this kind of gathering. To put it bluntly, it is a gathering of pretending, being pretending, and being slapped in the face.

Rich people show off, poor people flatter, this kind of classmate reunion has long changed in this era.

However, Du Yongxiao and Guan Jiahui agreed to attend together. After thinking about it, he was the Commissioner of Police after all, a big shot, and he couldn't break his promise, so he went to the garage to find a car to attend the banquet.

When he came to the garage, he found that his most low-key cars had been driven away.

Yan Xiong drove away the Rolls-Royce, dad Du Dapao drove away the extended Lincoln, and mom Li Cuilian drove away Du Yongxiao's favorite silver Bentley.

As for the more low-key car, it was also driven away by younger sister Du Yongmei. There were only three cars in the garage, a Mercedes-Benz, a BMW, and an old Beetle.

The Mercedes-Benz and BMW were both newly bought. To be precise, dad Du Dapao bought them all in one go after being fooled by the young lady selling cars.

Because of this, my mother Li Cuilian and my father Du Dapaokai almost got divorced. My mother said that my father was obsessed with sex and would give her his heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidneys as long as a woman smiled at him.

Du Dapao was so scared that he didn't dare to say anything, and he didn't dare to drive the two cars.

So they were left in the garage.

Du Yongxiao didn't dare to drive it either. If his mother saw it, she might say that he and his father were in the same group, and driving his father's car meant standing with his father.

In the end, only the classic car was left---

To be honest, Du Yongxiao really didn't want to drive this car. It wasn't because the car was too old. On the contrary, the car was a super antique car, a collectible antique! Its value was the first among all Du Yongxiao's cars, worth 400,000 pounds, which is equivalent to 3.8 million Hong Kong dollars!

It is not surprising that the car of the famous former British Prime Minister is worth a lot of money, but what is surprising is that this car was actually produced by the German Daimler company. Churchill did ride this German car to inspect everywhere during World War II to encourage British soldiers and civilians to fight against the German army, and this German car was not smashed by the British.

This is a 1939 Daimler DB18 soft-top convertible. At the Christie's auction, there were 114 bids throughout the auction, and it was finally won by Du Yongxiao for 397,000 pounds, which is 16 times the original price of the car.

Of course, the car is expensive for a reason. Reports pointed out that Daimler planned to build 23 such cars, but only 8 were completed by the end of the war. Four of them were destroyed by bombs, one was seriously damaged and sold as scrap, and the other two were missing. Therefore, Churchill’s car became the only remaining “survivor”.

This historic car was powered by a 2.5-liter engine and could reach a top speed of 76 miles per hour.

The people who bid for this classic car with Du Yongxiao were not only British tycoons, but also Saudi princes, or American tycoons. They were all super rich owners. Du Yongxiao also took the risk, and with the blessing of his status, he won the prize in one fell swoop. Down.

Du Yongxiao looked at the classic car, especially the famous license plate "EKV881", and couldn't help but shake his head, maybe he could only drive it today.

In Hong Kong in this era, there are hundreds of vehicles on the streets. There are cars of all brands and ages. It is not uncommon to drive a classic car. As long as you are not an insider and don't understand what "EKV881" stands for, you won't know. The value of this classic car.

On the contrary, driving this kind of car seems very low-key to those who don't know much about cars.

Thinking of this, Du Yongxiao didn't hesitate anymore and went directly to the driver of the mansion to get the car keys. With a bang, he started the car immediately.

Du Yongxiao drove away from the official residence, followed quietly by two black cars. They were all Du Yongxiao's bodyguard team, and the general person in charge was Zhuang Dingxian.

…

When Du Yongxiao drove to the agreed place with Guan Jiahui, the little girl was dressed beautifully and had been waiting on the street for a long time.

Du Yongxiao stopped the car and asked her to get in.

The little girl couldn't help but walk around the car and praised: "What a beautiful car! Is this yours?"

"Yes, it's a classic car, it's old!" Du Yongxiao said confidently. "Don't you feel ashamed to go to a banquet in such a car?"

Guan Jiahui smiled and took the initiative to hold Du Yongxiao's hand: "How could it be? I like this car so much. I feel like the heroine in Roman Holiday." After saying that, she let go of her hand and got into the car.

When Du Yongxiao saw this, he smiled and got into the car.

When people onlookers saw that Du Yongxiao was driving such an old classic car, but he was carrying such a beautiful girl as Guan Jiahui, they couldn't help but point at them——

"Look, even classic cars are used to pick up girls!"

"Yes, if I had known it would be easy, I would have driven out my great-grandfather's car, which is older than this one!"

"Hahaha!"

Guan Jiahui ignored these jeers at all.

And these scoffers were mainly jealous that Du Yongxiao could carry a beauty like Guan Jiahui.

"Okay, let's go! As for me, I need to touch up my makeup first!" With that said, Guan Jiahui opened the Kun bag she carried with her, took out the goose egg mirror from inside and started to touch up her makeup.

While she was touching up her makeup, she kept asking Du Yongxiao how this makeup was, whether it was too light, and how about that makeup, whether it looked too fierce.

Du Yongxiao smiled and said: "It looks good. You don't need to wear heavy makeup."

"Really? What about my lipstick, do you want to wipe it off a little? I feel it's a little too bright!"

Du Yongxiao parked the car directly, leaned over him, and kissed Guan Jiahui's red lips——

Guan Jiahui was completely stunned, her beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

She was nervous and excited.

Then he hugged Du Yongxiao's waist tightly.

When pedestrians on the roadside saw this scene, women were envious and men were jealous.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

I don’t know how long it took.

Du Yongxiao let go and said, "Now, it's not thick anymore!" He licked his lips stained with lipstick.

The venue for this Huang Yan Middle School class reunion is the Violet Room of the Shangri-La Hotel in Wan Chai.

At this moment, a group of people in the private room were chatting and laughing.

"Taiwan Balm, I didn't expect you to behave like a fool now! I remember well, when you were a follower in school, you were always stealing snacks from your classmates because you were greedy and had no money at home!" said a fat man.

His name is Zhu Dabao, nicknamed "Fat Piggy", and he is one of the school's bullies. He also participated in bullying Du Yongxiao, Wan Jinquan and others.

"Yeah, I remember clearly. Back then, Tiger Balm was very short and thin, and I would look at my female classmates with a look of lust. I was even caught sneaking into the women's restroom once. I was eventually warned by the school and even wrote a letter of guarantee!" said this The speaker was a skinny monkey named Hou Tiangui, nicknamed "Skinny Monkey".

"Don't talk about him like that, Wan Jinquan is really amazing now!"

"How amazing is it, tell me?" Fat Piglet and Skinny Monkey looked in disbelief.

Wan Jinquan was blushing at their ridicule just now. Now he finally had a chance to show off his strength, so he coughed and said: "I am not talented. I have opened several chain pharmacies now - Wan Jinquan Pharmacy is opened by me!"

The words fell to the ground, and now everyone was quiet.

Especially Fat Piggy and Skinny Monkey looked at each other in disbelief.

"That--it turns out that Wanjinquan Pharmacy is really opened by You! I thought it was someone with the same name!"

"Yes, there seem to be seven or eight shops in Aberdeen and Kowloon. Business is good, right?" Fat Piggy's voice became a little gentler, not as arrogant as before.

Wan Jinquan breathed a sigh of relief and became proud: "It's not bad, with a monthly net profit of thirty to forty thousand, well, that doesn't include taxes!"

"Tsk tsk, thirty or forty thousand!"

"Pure profit!"

The students were surprised again.

“I didn’t expect it would be so profitable to open a pharmacy!”

"Yes, if I had known I would also open a pharmacy!"

People said with envy.

In this era, being able to earn thirty to forty thousand a month is a dream for many people. If you do the math, that’s almost half a million a year!

"Ahem, this is nothing to me!" Wan Jinquan said modestly, "The really powerful one is Fang Feihong! He is a big boss. He represents many special drugs and earns millions every year!"

"Make a million a year?"

"Awesome!"

Everyone looked at Fang Feihong.

Fang Feihong, whose face was full of pimples, ugly and prematurely senile, pretended to be modest and said: "What the hell! What a joke!"

"Haha, Mr. Fang is so humble!" Wan Jinquan continued, "You don't know that he is very famous in Nanyang. In addition to medicine, he is also engaged in entertainment. He was hired by Jiayi TV to produce TV series. Department executives, if any of you want to be on a show or film, come find him!”

Things like medicine are a bit far away, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get into this business. As for entertainment, filming TV series is very close to the big guys. Everyone immediately applauded: "It turns out that Mr. Fang is still an entertainment boss!"

"I have a girlfriend who just wants to enter the entertainment industry..."

"My biological brother happens to be a screenwriter. If you need anything, just ask!"

"Haha, let's exchange business cards later! Contact us frequently if you have anything to do!" Fang Feihong said with a smile.

When Wan Jinquan saw this, he flattered him and said, "You are lucky that Mr. Fang is willing to exchange business cards with everyone! Did you know that he just changed his car recently, and the Porsche parked outside is his! It costs more than 300,000 yuan?" !”

"Wow, a luxury car worth more than three hundred thousand yuan!"

"I probably can't afford such a luxury car even if I work all my life!"

The students were amazed again.

More than 300,000 yuan. They had been struggling for so long. If they wanted to buy this car, they would probably be choked without food or drink.

What's more, they can only see famous cars like Porsche on TV and movies.

"What's the use of having a car?" Fang Feihong suddenly changed the topic, "I have struggled for so long, and besides having money, I still have money, but I don't have a girlfriend! Unlike some people, who have nothing but good looks, but they have someone Fairy-like beautiful friend!”

With that said, Fang Feihong recounted yesterday's encounter with Du Yongxiao with jealousy, especially when he mentioned that Du Yongxiao had found a very good-looking girlfriend, who was even prettier than a female star. His words were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

Everyone didn't believe it. They were joking. Du Yongxiao hadn't come to a class reunion in the past ten years. He probably didn't have a good life. How could he get such a good-looking girlfriend?

The fat piggy yelled: "Speaking of beauty, is it as good-looking as our Banhua Zhuo beauty?"

Hearing this, everyone turned to look at the corner——

A beautiful and charming woman, her expression moved slightly.

Fang Feihong glanced at her and thought: "If Zhuo Tingting was eighteen years old, she might still be able to compete with her girlfriend named Du. Now..."

He shook his head.

After all, a twenty-five-year-old woman is more mature but less youthful than a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl.

And what these men miss is their youth!

Fang Feihong is wealthy and has a high vision.

Wan Jinquan, Fat Piggy, Skinny Monkey and others were not so greedy. They looked at Zhuo Tingting together and couldn't help but show their charming eyes. They all pursued each other back then, but unfortunately, they were ruthlessly rejected. Now they see this This beautiful class beauty is still so unattainable!
