Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Hearing is false, seeing is believing, and many things can only be reassured if you see them with your own eyes; with the control of Fucaira, Black Cloud Town is no longer that important. But after all, it is the headquarters of Future Group, and it is also the main office space; naturally we should pay attention to it!

The road from Kwun Tong to Heiyun Town needs to cross several areas, and the road condition is not very good; not to mention that it is in disrepair, but it is not much worse. Once the construction of Heiyun Town is completed, the connection between the two places will definitely become closer; the traffic pressure will be very high.

It originally only took half an hour's drive; a random traffic jam would take more than an hour; no amount of time is enough to waste. Even if the British agreed to build the road, knowing that it was Bao Zixuan who paid for it, the surrounding people would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity, and it would be reasonable to take the opportunity to extort money.

I don’t want to be taken advantage of, and at the same time I want to improve the travel time between the two places; I must think of a foolproof method.

Halfway through the car ride, Bao Zixuan saw an area surrounded. He suddenly thought of something, maybe a breakthrough had been found!

There is a boundary street to the north of Mong Kok, Kowloon, which directly divides the Kowloon Peninsula into two horizontally; the southern part of the street is called Kowloon, and the northern part of the street is called the New Territories. The east corner of Boundary Street leads to Kai Tak Airport. To the north of Kai Tak Airport is the famous Kowloon Walled City, which was neglected by the British and Chinese officials in Hong Kong.

The history of Kowloon Walled City can be traced back to the Song Dynasty; the real involvement of Kowloon Walled City in the trend of history was about the 23rd year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, that is, 1843.

At that time, the British army had occupied Xiangjiang, and Kowloon became the frontline of the Qing border defense due to its geographical location.

In the 18th century, the government signed the "Special Treaty on Expanding Hong Kong's Boundary Sites"; the Kowloon Peninsula and the New Territories also became British colonies. However, the Kowloon Walled City was still under the jurisdiction of the Manchu Qing government.

After the fall of the Qing government, China's political situation remained unstable for a long time, with warlord separatism, the Anti-Japanese War, and the Liberation War. Therefore, the management of Kowloon Walled City has been in a vacuum.

Due to jurisdictional issues, the Hong Kong police did not have the right to enter the Walled City, and the Chinese side had no time to take care of the Walled City. It gradually became a "three no matter" zone that was ignored by China, the British, and the British colonial government in Hong Kong.

This is also the root cause of the mixed bag and chaotic management in Kowloon Walled City.

Without government jurisdiction, a large number of refugees and wanderers gathered in the Walled City; housing became their primary problem at that time. Because there is no one to take care of it, private buildings and buildings have become the most common sight in the walled city. The residents do not have professional knowledge about construction, water and electricity; anyway, as long as the house can be built, it will be fine.

Many houses built later are supported by just a few steel bars, and some don't even have foundations; they are built directly on top of existing short houses.

This has also resulted in crowded buildings, with the shortest distance between buildings being only a dozen centimeters.

As for water and electricity, the water pipes are casually connected; sometimes the water pipes leak due to material problems, and the whole building smells bad when the toilet is flushed. You even have to hold an umbrella when going to the toilet, otherwise you will be covered in shit.

In addition to refugees and homeless people, many criminals also hid here; then they settled down and took root here.

The special environment and the "three no-minds" situation made Kowloon Walled City a hotbed of crime. For a long time, social organizations basically controlled the entire Walled City.

A branch of Hongmen and the successor to the Tiandihui, the Triads were social organizations that gathered in the walled city.

Although there is no government management, criminals will still be arrested under certain conditions; they will just not be sent to court for trial, but drugs and other illegal items will be confiscated; the prisoners will be deported at the appropriate time.

In fact, most prisoners are released after a day or two; only those who have committed extremely serious crimes are deported, but most of them return afterwards.

1. During the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, all city walls were demolished to expand the nullah of Kai Tak Airport. After Japan surrendered, homeless people began to gather in Kowloon Walled City, and the government of Japan entered into rectification.

Statistics: As early as the first film, police records included 154 cigarette dens, 7 gambling houses, 15 dog meat shops, 11 brothels; there was also a theater that could receive 300 people a day and staged two striptease performances every day.

1 The Xiangjiang police sent 3,000 people to forcefully enter the Walled City in an attempt to eradicate the gangs in the Walled City; unfortunately, they did not achieve too significant results. The Walled City later "resurrected" from a desperate situation. Reinforced concrete houses were built like mushrooms after a rain. There were serious illegal expansions and unauthorized constructions, and the streets were as narrow as corridors. Residential water comes from eight public water pipes or wells. Due to the completely unplanned construction, the environment in the Walled City is poor. 1 It is estimated that there are 35,000 people living in the Walled City, and the crime rate is much higher than the average figure in Hong Kong.

1. Signed the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" to deal with the Hong Kong issue; 1. Determined to demolish the Walled City and relocate residents.

According to some statistics, Kowloon Walled City had more than 50,000 residents before it was demolished. The Walled City area has a population density of 0.02 per square kilometer, which is the most densely populated place.

Both the Chinese and British governments, as well as the Hong Kong government, want to demolish the Kowloon Walled City; a clear time has been given. This was indeed the case in the previous life. The Dragon City Walled City was completely demolished and turned into the Kowloon Walled City Park.

From Kwun Tong to Tin Shui Wai, you don't necessarily have to pass through the Kowloon Walled City; but building a subway underneath will indeed save a lot of time.

Compared to other places, passing through Kowloon Walled City will actually cost less. No one knows exactly who many of the houses belong to. It is basically occupied by corporate elements, so it is difficult to say clearly.

But 50,000 people is indeed a nuisance and needs to be properly accommodated.

If there were only 50,000 ordinary residents, Bao Zixuan wouldn't worry; he would be directly arranged to work at Heiyun Group; if he was well trained, there wouldn't be any big problems.

But the people inside are really special. Most of them are members of the society, and there are even many serious criminals. They can eat, drink, whore, gamble, cheat, kidnap, and steal. No matter how powerful and capable he is, he would not dare to keep these people by his side; Bao Zixuan is not that conceited yet.

Out of curiosity, Bao Shaofu asked the driver to stop the car; he also wanted to take a good look at this famous Sangui area.

In my previous life, I had heard many legends about the Kowloon Walled City. Most of the crimes in Xiangjiang came from here. Of course, for safety reasons, I would not enter directly; just look outside.

There were a lot of guns inside, and Bao Zixuan asked himself that he was still not invulnerable; there was no need to take risks.

Even if you just look at it from the outside, you can intuitively reflect the living conditions of the residents inside.

Dirty, messy, apart from these three words; I really don’t know how to describe it.

As the most prosperous city in the world, it is unimaginable that there is such an area inside.

The goal is too obvious. The three cars are all tall and powerful. Even if you don't know the specific models, you can tell that they are expensive.

It was impossible for such a person to be related to the Kowloon Walled City, especially when he saw a strong bodyguard standing next to him; there were many foreigners among them, but no one came to find him unhappy.

The corporate elements in Kowloon Walled City may not be afraid of the police, but they will still try to keep a distance from the super-rich. If you really make someone anxious, money alone can kill you; there is no need to take risks in many things, it is not worth it!

A security guard from Heiyun Security Department said: "Boss, this place is very dangerous, it's better not to go in!"

I'm really worried that Bao Zixuan might want to go in and take a look around. Security is definitely a big problem.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "I'm just curious, I won't go in; there's no need to take risks!"

The bodyguard felt relieved when the boss told him not to enter, but he did not relax. This place looks very dangerous at first glance. If there are people who are not discerning, they will not be able to take responsibility if something goes wrong.

The bodyguards around Mr. Bao are all well-trained, which is quite reassuring. But adhering to the principle that it is better to rely on others than to rely on oneself, we have never slackened off in so many years; our combat effectiveness will never be inferior to that of any security personnel, which is also our confidence.

Three powerful and domineering luxury cars appeared in places where they shouldn't be, and it was difficult to avoid being noticed. At first glance, he looks like a super rich man. Combined with Bao Zixuan's age, he is naturally more attractive to women.

If there were other choices, no one would want to stay in a ghost place like Kowloon Walled City forever; but sometimes people are so helpless and the way out is not that smooth.

Being noticed may be one of the few opportunities.
