Chapter 35 The New Situation and the Appearance of Ip Man
"Hong Kong is facing the most favorable situation. After the construction of the New China begins, trade will be unprecedentedly high. If Hong Kong becomes panicked before the unprecedented good luck and does not actively take friendly measures towards the New China, it will be historically unwise." -
— "On Sino-British Relations and the Future of Hong Kong"
"It seems that you are right. It is a blessing for the country and the nation to have such a visionary leader." Liu Wenzhong put down the Wenhuipao and said with emotion.
"Of course!" Chen Kui said with a smile, everything was expected.
Mao Zedong was his idol. He could write majestic poems such as "Counting the romantic figures, but also looking at the present day" and "Asking who rules the ups and downs of the vast land." How could he fail to see the various benefits of keeping Hong Kong?
For a long time to come, Hong Kong will become New China's window to Southeast Asia, Asia, Africa and Latin America, and the Western world. It will become an observation tower, weather observatory and bridgehead, as well as a frontier for breaking through the Western camp's blockade and embargo.
"You cannot judge what the future situation will be based on this article alone. After all, this is an article published by Wenhui Po." Hong Zhennan advised from the side: "Akui, now that the situation has improved, why don't you take advantage of the opportunity and take some action?
Now that I have made the move, the profit has exceeded two to three hundred percent, which is a lot of money."
Although Hong Zhennan rarely said anything after Chen Kui's actions, especially in front of outsiders, he always firmly supported Chen Kui, but after reading this article today, he couldn't help but persuade him. No wonder
Hong Zhennan would be like this. Chen Kui's hand this time was really too big. Even Hong Zhennan, who thought he was brave, was frightened.
As mentioned before, there are currently three major newspapers in Hong Kong. In addition to Ming Pao, there are Wen Wei Po and Ta Kung Pao. Unlike Ming Pao, which maintains a relatively neutral stance, the other two newspapers have strong political leanings, one for the left and one for the right. Therefore,
Hong Zhennan believes that this article in Wenhui Po cannot be fully believed.
"There's no rush." Chen Kui shook his head and joked. After struggling for so long, now is the critical moment for his grand plan. How could Chen Kui sell his assets.
Hong Zhennan sighed secretly, knowing that he could not persuade Chen Kui, so he set his sights on Liu Wenzhong, hoping that Liu Wenzhong could persuade him. However, Liu Wenzhong looked at Chen Kui meaningfully and said to Hong Zhennan:
"Zhennan, it seems that you still don't understand your apprentice. Now, what Akui wants is not profit, or in other words, he doesn't care at all about the so-called hundreds of percent profit you are talking about.
"
"This..." Hong Zhennan was speechless for a moment. This scholar is really proud, and he doesn't even care about tens of millions of profits. This tone is too loud.
Chen Kui said with a smile: "Uncle Zhong is joking, how can I look down on 100% profit? If I can do this kind of profit business more times, then I will be the richest man in the world."
When Liu Wenzhong heard this, he just smiled and said nothing. He originally didn't know what Chen Kui's goal was, but after hearing Chen Kui's words, he seemed to understand a little bit - the world's richest man?
"Hey..." Hong Zhennan sighed, touched his hair, and sighed: "It seems that I am really old."
When Liu Wenzhong heard this, he rolled his eyes at Hong Zhennan and said, "You are really an old guy. Alan is pregnant again."
"..." It was rare to see Hong Zhennan blush a little after hearing Liu Wenzhong's words.
Hong Zhennan was actually married for the second time. His first wife was killed by the Japs, and his two sons were also killed. Yang Xiaolan was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and she also suffered misfortune. During the Anti-Japanese War, she worked as a field nurse. The story of the two is ordinary.
A bit bloody, similar to the story of Li Yunlong and Tian Yu in "Bright Sword".
After they met, the two got married soon. Then Hong Zhennan, the "old guy", had asked Yang Xiaolan to give birth to three children for him, one boy and two girls. Not long ago, Yang Xiaolan was found to be pregnant again, while Liu Wenzhong couldn't ask for a child.
, that’s why he ridiculed Hong Zhennan like this, full of envy, jealousy and hatred.
…
The current situation has also had some impact on Chen Kui. Now the Hong Kong side is not sure what the new China's plans are. They can only prepare for the worst, enter a wartime state, implement relatively strict control policies, and at the same time once again
Expanding the police force. Since the salary and powers of police officers were improved last year, more than 6,000 police officers have been recruited so far.
Although strictly controlled, the overall environment during this period was actually not peaceful, and people were unstable, which gave some people with bad intentions the opportunity to cause many troublesome things. However, the impact on Wan Chai District and its surrounding areas
, basically can be ignored.
As time goes by, more and more information shows that the previous worries may be unnecessary, but there is no evidence. The knife on the head is still hanging, but it can be felt that the situation has eased. The army on the other side seems to have
I have no intention of coming.
Chen Kui knew that New China should have submitted the three demands to the United Kingdom through secret channels, and the United Kingdom agreed.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye we have entered 1950, a new decade. At the beginning of the new year, a piece of news put many people's hearts at ease: Britain officially recognized the new Chinese regime.
"Let's go!" Chen Kui gave the order, and the truck that had been prepared long ago, loaded with goods, crossed the Luohu Bridge in a mighty manner.
…
"Promote Chinese martial arts and strengthen the body, boxer Ip Man, Wing Chun Boxing Gym."
"Wing Chun, what kind of boxing is this?" Seeing Chen Kui stop in front of an advertisement, Yang Meng took a curious look and asked.
Because of Chen Kui, Yang Meng also knew a lot of boxing techniques, but in her impression, there seemed to be no Wing Chun.
"A kind of short-fighting boxing method, it is still very niche now." Chen Kui said that Wing Chun was almost unknown to outsiders before Ip Man taught it on a large scale. Even the martial arts world had rarely heard of Wing Chun.
, let alone Yang Meng.
"It's finally here, but where's the tornado? Isn't it because of my influence that the boxing championship match was not hosted by my third uncle?" Chen Kui thought to himself.
"This Ip Man must be a great master, because his handwriting is very elegant." Yang Meng commented that these advertisements were all handwritten with a brush.
"Yes, I think so too. It's still early, why don't we go see it?"
