Chapter 220 Is it official now?
Apart from Shi Hui and Fu Qi, the Hong Kong authorities only took away some small newspaper owners, presidents, editors-in-chief and other responsible persons, and closed down these newspapers. They also only took away a few reporters from well-known newspapers such as Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po, for fear of provoking people they dared not offend.
Their original intention was to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.
As a result, this clumsy approach exposed their weak nature of bullying the weak and fearing the strong - Wang Yuanchao discovered this, but he didn't know whether others had noticed it, but the external environment did not meet the expectations of the Hong Kong authorities.
The curfew was brought out again.
They have to take it out. Pineapple bombs have been placed openly at key intersections, downtown areas, trams, buses, and in front of institutions. They only have Chinese characters written on them to remind the public:
Fellow countrymen, stay away, it's a bomb.
Specially designed to bomb the illiterate authorities and foreigners.
Of course, there are real and fake pineapple bombs.
But no matter whether it is true or not, the foreigners have to send people to demolish it.
The foreigners didn't dare to let the pineapple bomb explode directly on the spot, not because they couldn't afford the loss, but mainly because it would cause panic among the people, which was contrary to the authorities' idea.
So it had to be dismantled and the bomb sent to a special remote location for destruction.
Sometimes everything seems to be going smoothly and grandly, but in the end it may turn out to be a fake.
But if you're not careful, this "bomb" will really explode.
Although the damage caused by this type of homemade bomb is far less than that of a grenade, it is reported that there are still many casualties among police officers and bomb disposal experts.
Liu Heqing resolutely refused to allow his wife to go out to work. He really cared about his wife and was really cautious.
Shi Hui is a big figure in the Great Wall, right? Even the Great Wall cannot protect her, not to mention Wang Danfeng, an old and outdated actress.
One of Shi Hui and Fu Qi's reasons was to participate in the consolation performance, and his wife Wang Danfeng also participated. He did not dare to take risks with his wife. After Wang Yuanchao's words, he realized that the authorities only picked on small shrimps.
It has some influence, but not that much.
I happened to be staying at Wang Yuanchao's new home, helping to supervise the renovation of his own home. Anyway, we live in the same community, just a few steps away, so it's very convenient.
With the situation outside, and the previous teasing by the gangsters, the three daughters were not allowed to go out at any other time or place except when they were at school.
Only Liu Heqing was running around outside, running errands for Shi Hui and Fu Qi, as well as for work.
Men should not be too responsible. Look, our Uncle Liu is going to be exhausted to death!
There are four women in the family, one big and three small. Their cooking skills are terrible, just like those of John's countrymen. Anyway, as long as the food is cooked, tasty and can fill their stomachs, it's fine.
I have been eating like this for several years and I don’t know how I can stand it.
If Wang Li comes over, he will definitely kill them in seconds!
Wang Yuanchao thinks the family should hire a cook.
Otherwise he would have become the family cook.
He had only come here to sleep on the first night and prepare dinner, and he just showed off his cooking skills (he had helped out at the Liu family before), and then several women, big and small, strongly and enthusiastically asked him to stay with them, perhaps with ulterior motives.
They said that this was Wang Yuanchao's house after all, and they couldn't occupy it. If Wang Yuanchao didn't live there, they would be embarrassed to stay there.
Are they embarrassed?
They definitely covet Wang Yuanchao's craftsmanship!
However, Wang Yuanchao found it hard to refuse the air-conditioned room.
Who would prefer to use a fan instead of air conditioning in this August weather?
Ordinary people cannot afford the cost of air conditioners, but for Wang Yuanchao, it is no big deal. He has four air conditioners installed in his home, one in every room and the living room.
In fact, he could tolerate cooking, but it was too uncomfortable to have so many beautiful women to look at but not to eat.
He is also a strong and powerful young man who has tasted meat. He is not a newbie who doesn't know the taste of meat, okay?
It’s not that I can’t eat it, but it’s just embarrassing to eat it in front of other people’s parents and sisters.
Wang Yuanchao found that he still didn't have enough nerve.
Not thick enough!
Meanness is the passport of meanness! Shame is the epitaph of those with shame!
Forget it, just bear with it. We all knew each other in the mainland, and we were old acquaintances. It was difficult to do anything, so he finally had to save some face.
I can only continue to renovate two more houses. One house is not enough and not safe. Anyway, when people from the mainland come to live in it, they can also live there, so I might as well build more. Wang Danfeng was happy to help with the renovation so that it would not seem so useless to live in Wang Yuanchao's house.
The environment outside was so complicated that no matter how cautious Wang Yuanchao's small suppliers were, two of them were affected. Although the people were not hurt, the production collapsed.
Shenlan also had to help fill the gap and adjust the products of its own small workshops. The output in the second half of August was estimated to be only 8. It felt that the production situation was getting better and better, and they were ready to hit a half-month output of 1. Wang Yuanchao was heartbroken.
The profit for one set is $12!
Oh, and you have to return $1 to Horton.
But the production loss of 2000 sets is more than US dollars!
Wang Yuanchao had to once again emphasize to the owners of the small workshops the importance of safety and the importance of uniting employees.
He also personally went to various small workshops to emphasize to everyone how to work hard for the happiness of the whole family, how to deal with people with ulterior motives, and how not to be used as a tool by others.
All in all, the same thing, don't get involved in what's going on outside. It's all gone wrong!
What’s the big deal about having pineapple bombs everywhere?
When they started to confront the authorities, they did throw pineapple bombs and Molotov cocktails, but those were only aimed at the armed forces of the authorities.
Now this, what is it?
Foreigners don't live with Chinese people at all! There are Chinese people in foreigners' offices. Can't they read?
The rich people have all fled to New Mateo Bend, and the only ones left are the poor!
After all the trouble, aren't ordinary people the ones who suffer?
Maybe they want to put pressure on the authorities, but what's the use of a few pineapples?
While Wang Yuanchao was comforting and encouraging production, he was also arranging a new factory outside. The factory should not be too big and the location should not be too conspicuous. It should be able to accommodate a dozen workers and produce single parts.
He originally only wanted to be an assembly plant, but now he had to reach out a little further upstream. He added production workshops one by one according to the shortage and risk level of various parts.
In order to deal with unpredictable risks, he has to produce almost every part by himself, regardless of whether he has a production partner or not. This way, if there is a problem with any of the companies, his parts factory can fill the gap in the first time!
Moreover, each parts production workshop needs to have more spare parts. Even if there is no need to fill the position and production can be normal, it is not a bad thing to supply more goods to Shenlan and assemble a few more fans.
Who can go against the US dollar?
Dai Jianong, the real estate agent who helped buy the ZA Qi'ai Building, was called by Wang Yuanchao to help.
This guy only took 10,000 yuan out of the 30,000 yuan agency fee for Qi'ai Building. When Wang Yuanchao found this guy, he could no longer do his job and had to earn the agency fee from renting out houses.
The dimensionality reduction of work is very obvious.
So when Wang Yuanchao gently waved the olive branch, Dai Jianong became a little impatient.
Moreover, the boss of Qi'ai Building, Dai Jianong, gave him one-third of the order. He had worked hard to get this deal by casting a wide net and persistently fishing. But where was the boss? He ran away to the next door, Aomen.
If he helps Boss Wang, Boss Wang is willing to give him a commission of one point!
Moreover, Boss Wang wants to buy a lot of houses, and he will never rent out any that he can afford.
The agency fee for buying and selling a house is not just a little bit lower than that for renting a house, it is dozens of times lower!
If you work for a boss, isn’t that working?
According to Boss Wang, he is firmly bullish on Hong Kong!
Dai Jianong also tried to persuade him cautiously, saying that factory leasing was also an option. Compared with housing leasing, factory leasing was also a big deal. With such a good boss, he still wanted to work for him for a longer period of time. He couldn't bear to see Boss Wang go bankrupt, right?
His persuasion actually made Wang Yuanchao look at him with a higher opinion of him. At least Dai Jianong was not obsessed with money and knew how to consider the boss.
So Wang Yuanchao generously talked about his series of theories and told Dai Jianong the reasons why he was optimistic about Hong Kong.
Dai Jianong was stunned. He had never heard of many theories before, but after listening to them, he felt that they made a lot of sense.
Even though he is a real estate practitioner, he really doesn't dare to invest all his savings in real estate.
Forget it, the boss is the boss because I should just work for him first.
With the assistance of Dai Jianong, there is basically no need to worry too much about the factory. Dai Jianong will carefully screen and investigate suitable factories in various places and present them to Wang Yuanchao for selection.
As for equipment procurement, the senior researchers at Deep Blue Research Institute are all quite clear about it. As for workers, there is no shortage of them. There are so many unemployed people out there. If Wang Yuanchao is not conscience-free, he can just lower their wages.
Only by making money can he suppress all other desires. Wang Yuanchao turned his lust into motivation for work and was very busy.
Then, something unexpected yet reasonable happened.
On August 8, the host of Hong Kong Commercial Radio and his brother were burned in a car on their way to work and died in hospital.
The news was told to Wang Yuanchao by the Liu sisters after they heard it on the radio.
The host also criticized some people for completely ignoring the safety of ordinary people's lives and placing bombs there, which led to two illiterate children fiddling with the bombs and killing the brother and sister on the spot.
It doesn't make sense to say that he is John's lackey. He has never criticized anyone before, and he even didn't comment on the fact that he went against the police.
After hearing this, Wang Yuanchao sighed. What they did was to cut off their own path and the citizens!
The ordinary residents of Hong Kong were also in a state of panic. They had originally thought that no matter whether it was John who ruled or whoever ruled, their fate as slaves and horses did not matter, but now it seemed that was not the case.
Many veterans of Hong Kong Commercial Radio also resigned.
Let me ask you, if your colleague was burned to death just because he said a few words out of righteousness, would you be afraid?
Not everyone has the courage to face danger.
As the saying goes: He who flees when he sees the enemy is the bravest, he who flees when he sees the enemy is the middle bravest, and he who flees when he hears something wrong is the least brave.
These colleagues who resigned from Commercial Radio are already very brave.
And He Wenzhao's "daring to meet the enemy head-on" is truly extremely brave!
That’s not all. The newspaper also reported that the place where the Woods worked had been burned down.
Wang Yuanchao was completely numb. This, this...
He couldn't help but worry about the safety of Teacher Delia. She was just a newlywed girl who came to a foreign country with her husband.
He is now in Hong Kong and has no way of knowing about this.
However, the newspaper did not report any casualties.
If there really is such a thing, given the nature of the Hong Kong media, it would definitely be publicized with great fanfare.
In addition to the voice of John's authorities, the Hong Kong media also has voices from several other places.
These unheard-of things happened one by one in this time and space, and Wang Yuanchao felt unfamiliar with this era.
He sat in the chair in a daze, his face grim, painful and confused.
Until he felt a pair of soft hands gently pressing on his head, he simply closed his eyes and let them press on him.
Then he heard a staggering sound, a slight struggle, and the sound of a door closing gently.
That was because Wang Danfeng saw that her eldest daughter and Wang Yuanchao were living a peaceful life, so she quickly pulled her youngest daughter into the room.
Wang Yuanchao grabbed Liu Qijin's little hand, pulled her gently, and held her in his arms.
The world is like this, why think about all those trivial things?
Let's drink today and enjoy life today. Looking at the girl who was a little confused and surprised, he kissed her all of a sudden.
Liu Qijin's eyes were as big as bells. Not to mention closing his eyes, he even forgot to blink. His mind was blank.
She just saw that Wang Yuanchao looked a bit painful, and thought he had a headache or something, so she went to help and pressed the pressure to the best of her ability.
She had imagined countless romantic first times, but never a first time like this!
That, ah, is disgusting...
Ah, that...
She finally reacted and quickly closed her eyes.
Never care about the world outside your eyes again.
A man's hands, at this time, have always been restless. Liu Qijin struggled symbolically for a while, and then she just ignored it. How could she care since she was weak?
After a long time, the two separated and looked at each other. Liu Qijin buried his head in Wang Yuanchao's arms and rubbed it a few times.
Liu Qijin did not ask in a affectionate manner like other girls: What am I to you?
She said directly:
"So we are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
Can Wang Yuanchao say no?
He hummed and said:
"Of course it is! You know, I was fascinated by you the first time I saw you!"
Liu Qijin smiled and patted his head, but did not continue talking. He changed the subject and said:
"Qi Yu is such a little girl. She's still so young, but she's always thinking about you. No matter what her family says, it's useless. I think we should just announce our relationship and let her focus on her studies. What do you think?"
Ah? His girlfriend was frank about her sister-in-law's feelings for him! This is really embarrassing.
His sister-in-law is pretty, but she is too young due to her age, and he is not an alchemist.
But I still felt a little happy in my heart. After all, which brother-in-law could refuse the love of his sister-in-law?
However, looking at Liu Qijin's expectant eyes, he nodded and said:
"Listen to you!"
Liu Qijin happily pecked it lightly as a reward, but Wang Yuanchao immediately sucked it in and refused to let go.
He hasn't eaten meat for a long time! He wants to satisfy his craving first.
……
When it was time for lunch, Liu Qiyu continued to praise how good Brother Wang's cooking was, and the eldest sister called out to him:
"Call me brother-in-law! What's with the term 'Big Brother Wang'? That's not polite at all."
Liu Qiyu’s eyes almost popped out!
She was just pulled back to the room by her mother for a while, and her eldest brother became her brother-in-law?
Is there any justice left!
But Brother Wang did not deny it, Mother did not say anything, and the Second Sister was only busy cooking. She, she...
When her father came back in the evening, she wanted to complain to him that her elder sister won unfairly and got the position by just pushing her head! Her mother was partial and it was not fair at all! Who wouldn't push someone's head?
By the evening, Liu Heqing came back.
Liu Qi Yu rushed forward to help his father get slippers.
Liu Heqing said excitedly:
"Shi Huifu Qi is out!"
Wang Danfeng said in surprise:
"Really? Then should we go check them out? Oh, now that they're out, we should be safe, right?"
Liu Heqing looked around, feeling a bit gossipy, and said:
"I heard that Uncle Shao Liu came with a high-value contract and sat in the White House in Mount Davis for two or three hours, and poached the couple to Shaw Brothers."
Uncle Shao was a man of great shrewdness. Not only was he Sir John, he was also a member of the design committee for the restoration of Yizhou (this title was still valid even after the reform and opening up, when Uncle Shao's buildings and Uncle Shao's halls were spread all over the country. Uncle Shao would not resign and Yizhou would not be left. Everyone knew it and pretended to forget about it).
Wang Danfeng said incredulously:
"They just went and became 'free'?"
At that time, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was heavily segregated. Great Wall, Phoenix, and Sun Lian were one faction, and Shaw Brothers was another. Everyone was clearly divided into camps and never interacted with each other. Occasionally, an actor would change jobs, and their respective newspapers would call it an "uprising" or "escape to freedom", which shows how deep the gap was.
The couple looked at Wang Yuanchao thoughtfully, and Liu Heqing said:
"It's better than staying in there."
Wang Danfeng said:
"But, but..."
Liu Heqing said:
"Don't worry, I'll learn more about the situation tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to see what's going on."
Wang Danfeng then sighed and said:
"Wash your hands first and then eat."
Being interrupted like this, Liu Qiyu felt that she couldn't bring herself to tell her father about the things she wanted to tell him. If she did, it would make her look like she didn't know the seriousness of the matter. It was so annoying that she lost her appetite for dinner. Suddenly, she had an idea:
"Sister, are you going to sleep with your brother-in-law tonight? It's too crowded for the three of us to share a room."
Liu Heqing was stunned. What was going on?
He looked at his wife first.
Wang Danfeng was at a loss as to what to do. They had just confirmed their relationship at noon, and were they going to live in the same room at night? Was this because their parents were not around?
Oh my, this third daughter is complaining to her father in disguise!
So she quickly explained:
"Don't talk nonsense. Yuan Chao and Jin Er just announced their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship today."
This was explained to my husband.
When Liu Heqing heard this, he also understood that the third child was playing tricks. However, the eldest daughter and Wang Yuanchao were finally together, which was a good thing.
He glared at his little daughter and said:
"That's your sister's business, why do you care so much?"
Liu Qiyu exclaimed:
"Dad, you are so partial. Humph! I won't eat anymore!"
Liu Qi Yu put down his bowl and chopsticks and ran back to his room.
Wang Yuanchao's face was flushed. This sister-in-law's level was higher than his!
He still has a lot of room to grow.
He felt that he couldn't stay at home tonight, so he ate his meal and said:
"Uncle, Auntie, Qijin, Qibing, I have to go to the company tonight and I won't be back tonight."
After saying that, he ran away.
After hearing what his sister said, and what his father said, Liu Qi Jin was ready to just go all out and go straight to the master bedroom to sleep, just to make this little girl shut up.
As a result, Wang Yuanchao fled in panic, leaving her——
I still have to sleep in the master bedroom!
This is a declaration of sovereignty!
It just so happened that Wang Yuanchao was not around, so she felt less stressed.
……
In the second bedroom, Liu Qiuyu was very upset.
Liu Qibing knew the reason, but she felt that her brother-in-law knew her eldest sister first, and the third sister had also tried to get her, so how could he not be able to snatch her away?
No matter how pretty and youthful a middle school girl is, can she be more pretty and youthful than a high school girl? She hasn't grown up yet!
In fact, she also has a good impression of her brother-in-law, but that is just the normal impression people have on handsome guys.
She took out the radio, turned it on and said:
"Okay, listen to your favorite radio!"
Liu Qiyu said:
"What's so good to hear? There's no show!"
There were only two young Chinese radio stations (the other one was Rediffusion Radio), and after the host incident, other people in Commercial Radio were also trembling with fear, looking like they were about to go bankrupt, and the station was in a panic.
Liu Qibing said:
"Then listen to the English station!"
Liu Qiyu said:
"I am a Chinese, why should I listen to foreign songs?"
Liu Qibing said angrily:
"I'm comforting you, and you're still angry with me?"
Liu Qiyu said:
"Then you won't help me! Do I need your comfort?"
Liu Qibing said unhappily:
"I help you? How can I help you? Do you want me to buy one and get one free, and work with two women?"
Liu Qiyu jumped up from the bed:
"Second sister, my dear second sister, you, really don't want to?"
Liu Qibing pushed her away, her chest puffing up, and pointed at her third sister, too angry to speak:
"you you……"
Liu Qiyu sat up as if nothing had happened and said:
"There is no rule in Hong Kong that men can only marry one wife. Look at those tycoons, which one of them doesn't have many wives and concubines?
Many of our classmates came from the second or third wives of the family!
My brother-in-law is also a tycoon, right? Instead of…"
Liu Qibing clenched his fists tightly and said:
"I'll tell my parents!"
As soon as she turned around, her sister entangled her like an octopus:
"My dear sister, do you want me to jump out of the window? If my parents find out, they will beat me to death."
Liu Qibing couldn't break his sister's death grip and snorted:
"You still have some sense of shame! I'll just take that as your angry words. Don't go crazy next time, okay?"
Liu Qiyu said:
"You swear not to tell anyone?"
Seeing that his sister still had a sense of shame, Liu Qibing raised his right hand with difficulty and said:
"I swear I won't tell anyone, okay?"
Liu Qiyu then jumped off her and said:
"Second sister, you are too boring. Forget it, I am going to paint."
I'll never tell you a secret again!
