The current situation in Hong Kong Island in this era is actually relatively good.
Because Zhu Chuanwen endured his life outside the customs.
I haven't been able to draw too many benefits outside the customs.
Although Day Raiders Southeast Asia has also achieved some results.
But without the supplements from outside the customs, there will be much less war potential.
Although Hong Kong Island has also experienced some wars.
However, the damage suffered was still much smaller. Although there was a surrender, a lot of infrastructure was lost.
But there are no dark years where the economy comes to a complete standstill.
There are economic losses, but they are not as big as imagined.
It's definitely easier to recover than completely destroyed.
There is a lot of capital and technology, but it has not completely left Hong Kong Island.
Although I left temporarily, it is relatively easy to come back.
It can be said that I ran away but did not completely run away.
"Brother, the Governor of Hong Kong wants to meet with you."
Chuanjie came back from Central and said to Zhu Chuanwen.
Chuanjie went to the city center mainly to take care of the business affairs of Lao Zhu's family, mainly to buy a building as a bank headquarters.
Hong Kong Island is different from some places inside and outside the customs. There are also many European-style buildings.
There are no tall buildings over 100 meters high, but there are still buildings tens of meters high.
Since Lao Zhu's family wanted to set up a bank, they had the idea of comparing it with HSBC.
There is no problem if a factory or something is opened in a remote area.
But banks must be opened in downtown areas.
The business is mainly targeted at the original residents of Hong Kong Island.
The people Zhu Chuanwen brought over all had financial resources. They needed storage business and loan business, but the funds could not be used at all.
"Oh, has a new governor already taken office?"
When Zhu Chuanwen and his family came to Hong Kong Island before, Hong Kong Island happened to be in a state without a governor and was directly under military control.
The previous governor was captured by Japan after the surrender. Although he was rescued, there was no way he could continue to take over.
"Brother, the new governor's surname is Ge."
People like Chuanjie have come into contact with many foreigners, so of course they know how to call foreigners' surnames.
Still calling it that is mainly a private habit of Lao Zhu's family.
"Ge##?" Zhu Chuanwen replied skillfully. This surname is indeed familiar.
"right."
"This is a capable governor. Make an appointment with them and let's go over and meet him together."
Although this governor arrived in Hong Kong a little earlier than two years.
But there is no doubt about his ability. The goal of restoring Hong Kong Island's economy is consistent with Zhu Chuanwen's.
The two people formed the basis for cooperation.
When the entire Hong Kong Island had a population of only four to five million, Zhu Chuanwen brought tens of thousands of people.
Even if you don't hold any position, you still have a certain right to speak.
Coupled with the fact that Zhu Chuanwen came here with a large amount of funds, his right to speak will of course be even more important.
If we add that Zhu Chuanwen is outside the customs and leaves behind so much love.
At this stage, no one dares to underestimate Zhu Chuanwen.
After this war, Yingzi is no longer that strong.
It is already an attitude that requires respect for Zhu Chuanwen.
In this era, Hong Kong Island's industry is really not doing well. There are less than 1,000 factories and less than 20,000 workers.
It's no wonder that there are so many people on the island who don't have a regular job.
It's hard to find jobs for men, let alone women.
The current city center of Hong Kong Island and Yuanbao Town, which Zhu Chuanwen is planning to build, are actually in the same situation. They are both in need of development.
Although the number of people Zhu Chuanwen brought was not enough because the houses built were not enough.
Some need to live in tents temporarily, and some need to live together in groups, and the living environment is not very good.
But in fact, the living conditions of Hong Kong Island residents in this era are not much better.
A large number of people live on the streets.
That is to say, the climate of Hong Kong Island is warm. If it were winter outside the customs, these people would not be able to survive sleeping on the streets.
During this period on Hong Kong Island, apart from a few commercial and public buildings, construction with reinforced concrete and concrete had not yet become popular.
The style of residential buildings is mainly wooden tenement buildings and arcades.
This kind of wooden structure has limited disaster resistance and will inevitably be damaged by artillery fire.
Coupled with the influx of a large number of people in a short period of time, it is not surprising that many people are "homeless".
"I also hope that Mr. Zhu and we can build Hong Kong Island together..."
"No problem, whether it's recruitment or investment, there's no problem..."
Although the governor had many things to do, he talked a lot with Zhu Chuanwen, and even the battle outside the Pass had a lot to do with Zhu Chuanwen.
Even in politics, he tried a lot with Zhu Chuanwen.
But the governor's purpose was actually to allow Zhu Chuanwen to invest more.
You can't just invest in your own territory. The city center is already devastated and capital investment is also in great need.
The Governor has decided to develop Hong Kong Island into a manufacturing center in the East and even the world.
Zhu Chuanwen has no reason not to invest in this kind of money-picking investment.
As for the Governor, he hopes Zhu Chuanwen can help with some employment.
In fact, the problem is not big. Zhu Chuanwen does not want his own people to do the most arduous tasks.
In terms of hard work and hard work, the people of Hong Kong in this era are really no weaker than those outside and inside the customs.
It is completely routine for workers to work sixteen hours a day, and it is not a problem to have a whole month off.
These people are so stressed out in life that they can only survive if they are so stressed out.
"Chuanjie, have you seen how these people are curled up? We must curl up too."
In Central, Hong Kong Island, looking at the busy workers, Zhu Chuanwen sighed to Chuanjie.
The development stage of most regions is inseparable from population welfare.
Hong Kong Island is pretty good now, there aren’t too many people there.
But we can't wait too long, it will become the most densely populated area in the world in just a few years.
"Brother, we brothers don't have enough to eat, so why should we get involved with them?"
It can be said that these workers are quite far away from Chuanjie's life.
After I became an apprentice in Chun Hop Sheng, being a worker had nothing to do with Chuanjie.
"It's not a problem for our generation to find food, but if we don't roll a roll, it's not necessarily a question of whether the next generation will have food to eat."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Several business tycoons after Hong Kong Island were actually already living in Hong Kong Island at this time.
Although these people may still be working as hawkers or boatmen, if they want to start a business and catch the wind, they can do it very quickly.
The business competition with these people is actually quite stressful, much more difficult than competing against each other.
"Brother, what do you mean?"
"We need to pay more attention to the education of our children. We need to build a primary school in every village and a middle school in every town. The best thing is to build a university."
If you want to compete with other people in Hong Kong, of course, you should roll with me.
Zhu Chuanwen has rich experience in this area and believes that he can use his rich involution experience to outdo others.
Of course, taking care of children means taking care of their learning. All-round development is certainly good, but culture is definitely the most important.
Although this method cannot be said to be good, it is really effective.
Waiting for these children to go to college and then enter various departments and industries on Hong Kong Island.
It can easily affect every aspect.
"Then I'll tell Yushu when I go back."
Within Zhu Chuanwen’s influence, Yushu has always been very influential in the education industry.
People who have followed him as teachers have more or less had contact with Yushu.
"Let your Yushu take the lead. Those who have worked in education should not rush to retire. Come out and continue to use your remaining energy. We didn't have the conditions before, but here, universal education is a must."
Zhu Chuanwen has no identity now.
Now he is a civilian like everyone else. At most, he is a mayor who has not yet been officially recognized. It is no longer easy to give direct orders to others.
This one-word model is not scientific.
Others don't have Zhu Chuanwen's foresight.
Future matters still need to be resolved through communication between everyone.
"I support this. Our family was so poor back then, and I went to private school for several years."
Chuanjie can achieve his current achievements because he has followed Zhu Chuanwen for so many years and has not left the team.
It must have something to do with reading so many books.
"We have to cross the ferry. Let's talk about it after we get there."
If there is no tunnel, the only way to cross the harbor is to take a ferry.
Zhu Chuanwen still made cars when he arrived in Hong Kong, mainly because Zhu Chuanwen himself was rich.
In fact, the economy of Hong Kong Island is not as good as the Ice City that Zhu Chuanwen has developed for many years.
The number of cars on Hong Kong Island is actually less than 1,000.
In this era, the main means of transportation on Hong Kong Island was actually the human-powered rickshaw.
Human rickshaws are not expensive and can be made for just a few cents.
It is also very different from the horse-drawn carriages and donkey-carts that are the most common outside the customs.
The area is not large, so there is no need to consider battery life issues.
The manpower is basically enough, so you can go wherever you want.
What will be developed in the future will also be trams, cars and buses, which have nothing to do with animal-drawn vehicles.
So far, Ice City is actually more of a business center in the Far East than Hong Kong Island.
But Hong Kong Island represents the future. Zhu Chuanwen is giving up the present to control the future, which is definitely not a loss.
"Brother, isn't this just a fish port now?"
Although there are warships stationed on Hong Kong Island, this cannot change the fact that the main industry here is fishery.
During this period, workers on Hong Kong Island mainly relied on the docks for survival.
Since ancient times, partying on the docks has required the support of gangs.
So it is natural that many people will join the club.
Without a community, if you go to work as a coolie at the port, it is not a question of whether you will be bullied or not. It is easy to not get a job.
Workers working at the dock actually only earn 30 to 50 Hong Kong dollars a month.
The exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and silver dollars is about two to one.
Of course, a worker earning more than a dozen silver dollars a month is not particularly small.
But consider the pressure of renting a house on Hong Kong Island.
During the war years, prices skyrocketed many times, and most products were several times more expensive than before.
The local land production is not rich enough, and the cost of living is much higher, so the money cannot be said to be very large.
If you only work at the lowest level, the happiness index of workers' families is really not high. It can only be said that there is great hope.
"A fish port is indeed a fish port, but this is not an ordinary fish port. You still need to look more at this place to see its potential as a freight center."
Zhu Chuanwen said to Chuanjie.
If Chuanjie looks at it now, he will definitely not be able to tell it. He will have to wait until the situation changes before he can tell it.
Although Hong Kong Island's trade in this era was good, it mainly relied on domestic trade.
"Brother, is this the reason why we are not selling our ships and are preparing them for freight transport?"
"Yes, is that a boat? It's a golden egg. There's no way to kill the goose to get the eggs."
The development of cargo ships on Hong Kong Island is as important as the railway outside the customs.
Zhu Chuanwen naturally would not sell the merchant ship.
Compared to getting to know the Ship King when the time comes, it would be more convenient to have a Ship King's son.
Lao Zhu's family now only has a lot of sons and grandsons. Each one is responsible for one industry, and there is still some leftover.
"Chuangwen, we have all arrived on Hong Kong Island, why are you still not home? You were busy outside the customs. When you arrive on Hong Kong Island, do you still have so many things to be busy with?"
After returning home, Mrs. Zhu Wei babbled to Zhu Chuanwen.
Obviously he wanted Zhu Chuanwen to spend more time with him at home.
Perhaps when the three brothers were still younger, both Zhu Wei and Zhu Kaishan liked to teach martial arts the most.
But the facts proved that Chuanwu did not care about his family and was unreliable.
The one the old couple liked and respected the most became Zhu Chuanwen.
"Isn't this just here? Once everything is on track, I won't care about it anymore."
At this stage, Zhu Chuanwen must help his group of people to gain a certain status.
Not only economically, but also politically, Zhu Chuanwen also wanted to help his own people change the situation.
Zhu Chuanwen couldn't accept it if he didn't do it even if he had the ability to do it.
"Just leave anything to the children to do. If you don't let them do it, when will they grow up? When you were as old as them, the vigilante group was organized."
Zhu Weishi continued.
There are too many grandchildren, and there are only three sons who are not worthy of being so rare.
"I know, don't we leave everything to them to build the factory down there?"
The plastics industry, garment industry, and textile industry are classic industries on Hong Kong Island.
Of course Zhu Chuanwen would not let anyone go.
Originally, Zhu Chuanwen had never left these businesses for so many years.
Being engaged in these industries can actually affect the overall aesthetic.
After all, Hong Kong Island is a place where Eastern and Western cultures collide.
Therefore, in terms of clothing aesthetics, it is inevitable that there will be some Western influence.
People at the bottom have little choice over clothing.
It’s good to have enough food and clothing. Most of them are white top and black sweatshirts and trousers, regardless of gender.
But the middle class has become a lot more Westernized. Many people wear suits and dresses every day, especially those who work in foreign companies.
Zhu Chuanwen designs and sells some traditional ready-made clothes, which can also preserve more of the traditional culture.
Although the traditional culture here is actually well preserved, I don’t mind if more can be preserved.
"Everything is fine here, but I can't understand even the words spoken."
Of course, Lao Zhu’s family also visited the city center together.
But the mainstream here is Cantonese, with some English mixed in.
Zhu Kaishan and Zhu Weishi really don’t understand these.
Communication is a problem, and of course there is no interest in going to the city center.
This is the overall problem for people like Zhu Chuanwen, there are people who can communicate.
But most people go out as if they are dumb.
"It doesn't matter. Those who come to work with us, I just want them to learn to speak from us."
If his status is sufficient, it would not be a big problem for Zhu Chuanwen to popularize Mandarin in Hong Kong Island.
