Chapter 351 Who dares?
"Haha, indeed, there are no decent trade unions in Hong Kong, and England doesn't dare to open this loophole, so many people join triads to keep warm together." Mr. Bao chuckled a few times: "In fact, most of the lower-class people who join triads just want to find a backer."

"It's just that," Mr. Bao shook his head, "these triads have now turned into gangs that exploit the lower classes. Fortunately, they have no influence on my cargo ship. What about you?"

Mr. Bao mainly asked about Mr. Chen who ran a cotton yarn mill and Mr. Cao who ran a woolen spinning mill. Mr. Huo would never ask this question.

Everyone in Hong Kong knows that Mr. Huo is a real ruthless person, a man who would risk his life.

During the Korean War, they braved the severe blockade of the British devils to transport urgently needed supplies to China. The transport ships at the shipyard were shot into sieves by machine guns and sunk by explosives.
Especially in the Korean War, after the mainland won the victory by defeating the coalition forces led by the United States, no one dared to provoke Mr. Huo.

Even a fool can't get involved in the underworld.
Chen Tinghua and Cao Guangbiao both smiled disdainfully. "There are thousands or even tens of thousands of people in our factory. Who would dare to collect protection fees from us? Just find a few security guards and the An family will pay to kill them."

Wang Deming was listening to the conversation between several tycoons when he suddenly remembered the Hong Kong movies he had watched in his previous life.

I remember watching Hong Kong movies before, whether it was Tony Leung or Andy Lau playing the 500 million inspector, they were all so awesome that they looked down upon Chief Superintendent Godber and the foreign superintendents under him.
It's just for fun. Even a really awesome detective worth 70 million wouldn't run away to Taiwan, and the police force wouldn't be so obedient in the s just by relying on the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Even if the underworld is really awesome, the Ma brothers of the Oriental Daily News who sell white powder wouldn't run away to Taiwan.

There is also the 14K founded by Dai Li, the founder of the Sun Yee On, the bald Major General Ge, who bullies the middle and lower classes and makes dirty money.

The Kowloon Park is still a military camp of the British devils. Who dares to confront the foreign devils in Hong Kong? In 57, the bald remnants were so excited that they demanded that the blue sky and white sun be hung, and they played looting and smashing. Didn’t they learn a lesson from the British army? Didn’t they behave themselves from then on?

I still remember the Hong Kong movie "Young and Dangerous" that I watched in high school. The title of the movie was really awesome: One Hand Covers the Sky. It was very exciting to watch and there were a lot of fights. It really poisoned teenagers.

After entering society and gaining the ability to distinguish, I realized that the government is always the one that is truly powerful.

Whether in the mainland or Hong Kong, how dare you, an illegal organization, cover up everything with one hand? I, the director or section chief, haven't even spoken yet. It's just a red-headed document.

The reason why Hong Kong's police force was a black and white one in the 60s and early 70s was due to the British foreigners. It was their laissez-faire attitude that allowed illegal underworld organizations to manage the lower-class people in Hong Kong.

They are very experienced in colonial management, using Chinese to control Chinese.
It was not until the 60s that Hong Kong's economy began to take off and became one of the Four Asian Tigers in the 70s that the British devils, after discovering their growing interests in Hong Kong, began to take action and kicked the underworld out.

This also explains the confusion I had when watching Hong Kong movies before: why were all the major crimes committed by soldiers from outside the province and Hong Kong?
Local gangs also help the Royal Police and provide information. They are really polite.

The big bosses in the Jockey Club box had money and connections, and in terms of status, they were even guests of the Governor of Hong Kong. The local dwarf mules were envious and flattered, so how could they dare to make trouble?

While Wang Deming and his friends were chatting, a short man with a shiny forehead, a severely receding hairline and glasses came to a small villa at the foot of Taiping Mountain and said, "Brother Le, Happy New Year and may you make a fortune!"

He was very respectful. He placed a suitcase neatly on the coffee table. After changing the direction, he opened it with a crisp "click", revealing red and green Hong Kong banknotes in the suitcase.

"The business of white powder is particularly good during the Spring Festival this year. I guess it's because they pay double salary at the end of the year, so I sent it directly to you."

The man called Brother Le was a middle-aged man with a round face, a neat suit and stylish hair. He was holding a cigar in his mouth, squinting his eyes and glancing at the box. He waved his hand casually, and someone behind him immediately closed the box and took it away. He spoke slowly, "Ah Hao, we are all fellow Chaozhou people, brothers who make a living in Hong Kong. There is no need to be so polite in the future."

"Well, your sister-in-law just happened to make some soup today, let's have a meal together before we leave."

"Haha, sister-in-law's cooking skills are top-notch. My saliva is flowing just listening to him." The man called Ah Hao sat down seemingly casually, but if you look closely you can find that his butt is half covered with the chair.

Brother Le threw him a cigar, "Here, you should smoke less cigarettes, they are bad for your health. Cigars are much better, especially these Cuban ones. Take a box later and come back when you have smoked all of them, haha."

Ah Hao took it with both hands and slowly lit it up, imitating Brother Le's method, "I'll listen to Brother Le."

"Hey, Brother Le, I went to collect debts on New Year's Eve and found a group of people who looked very unfamiliar. The leader was not very old, and they brought several pregnant women and their maids with them. They booked the afternoon show at the Legong Theater to watch a movie."

"Brother Le, has any big name from Southeast Asia come to Hong Kong recently?"

Ah Hao was making small talk, remembering the Wang Deming family he met on the afternoon of New Year's Eve, and asked about them. As for whether Ah Hao had any other ideas, it was unknown.

Brother Le paused, frowned, lost in reminiscence, and said slowly: "Last year, someone told me that Inspector Yan was defeated in the Gloucester Hotel and was scolded by Godber on the phone. He offended someone he shouldn't have offended."

"I sent someone to ask Manager Yang in the lobby, and he told me that the gentleman should have come from the north. He didn't know his specific background. But he was very generous. When paying the bill, he wrote a check for 2 Hong Kong dollars, and left the rest of the money for the famous director Li Hanxiang for tea."

"The north? Aren't all the people coming from the north poor? And why are they afraid of even the British devils?"

"That's not clear. Manager Yang said that the reason why that gentleman invited Li Hanxiang to have tea was because Director Li was from Beijing, a fellow countryman." Brother Le pointed at Ah Hao with the finger holding the cigar: "Ah Hao, to make a living in Hong Kong, you need to have a good eye and be steady and accurate in your work."

"Brother Le, you are right."

A woman in a cheongsam came over and called them to eat: "Ah Hao is here, let's have a bowl of soup together."

"Haha, I'm looking forward to your cooking skills, sister-in-law. I don't know how many people in Hong Kong want to drink the fish soup you stewed yourself."

After a while, this Ah Hao bowed and said goodbye, and actually drank a bowl of fish soup and left.

After he left the villa, the younger brother opened the door for him and got into the car. The younger brother who was driving asked while looking in the rearview mirror: "Brother Hao, does Inspector Le know the background of the private theater to watch the movie that day?"
