The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Lou Xiao'e explained: "When the economy is bad, people in Ou Mei like to find scapegoats, and the overall public opinion will be bad."

"The community charity activities I just mentioned, engaging in this field of work makes it easier to enter the political arena. It is easier to successfully run for city councilors, city committee members, and small town representatives, and to gain control of local power."

"Even if we don't spend money on lobbying in the future, the local community will be more supportive of our company and employees, and we can form a more harmonious relationship."

Qin Huairu reminded: "Will our support for the gang have any adverse effects?"

Lou Xiao'e has already prepared countermeasures, "This matter will not be done with great fanfare. Most people will only think that we also pay protection fees."

"Good people are bullied, and people who only do good things will be bullied. Only force without reputation cannot last long."

“The combination of the two can prevent our local industry from being messed with.”

Qin Huairu asked again: "If the gang we support causes trouble, what about other gangs specifically looking for trouble in our company?"

Li Ming, who was lying in the middle, didn't even open his eyes. "I will ask about the cause and effect and deal with it directly."

Qin Huairu had just realized how strong a man he was, and said with a sweet smile: "Xiao'e said that Hong Kong City has become much better after you rectified it."

Li Ming said casually: "It's just temporary."

Lou Xiao'e complained slightly: "The Yingguo people's military intelligence office is still searching for the 'mysterious man' in the port city. I don't know when they plan to find out."

"Our transport of people to Australia has been suspended."

Li Ming's method is simple and direct, "I will give them another ultimatum. They can check it anytime in June. If they don't get out on June 6, they will stay in Hong Kong City forever."

"The deadline for the black money that goes to Yingguo is also June 6. The two of them work together to solve it."

Lou Xiao'e held his big hand and said, "Don't be careless. The Yingguo people have sent many elites one after another."

Qin Huairu also expressed concern: "Xiao'e is right, Xiao Ming, please don't be careless."

The two women had limited understanding of his abilities, and it was normal to be worried. Li Ming changed the subject and said, "These Yingguo guys don't care about the evacuation of the Singapore military base, and they come to Hong Kong City to do nothing."

It is a very large base. There are 4 people in Xinjia who directly serve Yingguo's military base, and its output value can account for 20% of Xinjia's GDP.

In 1965, Yingguo launched a defense policy to coordinate the Indo-Pacific and Pacific Oceans, and began to transfer its dominant position in the Southwest Pacific and Indo-Pacific to its allies led by Magnesium.

In 1968, Yingguo formulated a policy of evacuating from the east of the Suez Canal, shrinking overseas military bases to the throat of key transportation lines close to the mainland.

"Different departments are busy with different things."

Lou Xiao'e remembered something serious, "By the way, the government of Xinjiapo invited us to go to Xinjiapo for investment inspection."

In the eyes of people who know how to settle accounts, Xingchen Company's several export businesses are all golden hens that can lay eggs and can drive a lot of related companies.

Li Ming decided: "Reply a thank-you letter and say that we have been paying attention to Singapore's investment environment and that we have always had the intention to increase investment."

"By the way, we would like to express our concern about their suppression of Chinese education."

Li Jiapo is respected by many people in the country, but in fact, there is no essential difference between him and Commander Pu Datong of the Southern Dynasty and Jianfeng on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait.

The capital to start the business was either aid or war dividends.

In the 70s and 80s, inflation in Ouzhou magnesium increased and workers' wages had to increase. Low-profit industrial enterprises could not even afford the interest on loans, and the industry had to relocate.

It also coincided with the beginning of free trade, and Ou Mei accidentally leaked out, which created the take-off of the Four Little Dragons.

Lou Xiao'e explained: "Xinjia Singapore is also dissatisfied with our strong support for Chinese education."

Li Ming said casually: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to them. The people our Xingchen Company hires in Singapore must be able to speak Chinese."

"The people of Yingguo have been in charge of Chinese education for so many years but they haven't improved Chinese education. There was no problem when Malay came to China, but when it was their turn to make the decision, they suppressed it."

"It is normal to use English as the official language, and it is the same in Hong Kong City. It does not affect our Chinese education."

Lou Xiao'e must have listened to her man, "Then I will reply to them as you said."

Li Mingan said in her mind, "The Xinjia Singapore market is small. We don't have to act based on Xinjia Singapore's face. It is also feasible to directly deploy and direct the Nanyang market in the port city."

Lou Xiao'e agreed: "It's true that Hong Kong City and Singapore are actually competing."

"As long as the Hong Kong government does a little bit, the Hong Kong city's economy will be able to move to a higher level, and the wage increase will be weaker."

"The term of the Hong Kong governor has expired, and there has been such a big turmoil. He will definitely not renew his term. I don't know if the new arrival will make a difference."

Among the Four Little Dragons, only Hong Kong City does not have specific industrial support policies and relies entirely on commercial enterprises themselves. However, it also has a huge advantage. It is close to the mainland and has stable food prices and labor force.

Li Ming reached out and took Lou Xiao'e into his arms, "There are benefits to not doing anything."

"You can't just think about the best. What if someone does something random? After all the trouble, it might be better to do nothing."

Qin Huairu echoed: "Those who act indiscriminately are more harmful than those who do nothing."

Li Ming held Qin Huairu in his arms with his other hand, "Sister Qin, let's go wash up first. I'll go on patrol later."

"I'm going back to the Central Court too."

"You're all gone, so I'm the only one left here."

"After the patrol, I will come back to accompany you."

Several days passed.

7 month 2 day.

The front yard of No. 95 Siheyuan.

Li Ming held the bicycle and prepared to go out, "Third uncle, there is no summer vacation for elementary school this year?"

Yan Bugui held a bag in his hand, "Elementary schools and junior high schools will have summer vacation according to the prescribed time in previous years, but the teaching staff will not take vacation and will continue to carry out *, review, and correction of their own units."

Li Ming smiled and said: "Needless to say, those from high school, technical secondary school, and university will not have a holiday. Arranging the future of these graduates is the top priority now."

"That's right. The superiors asked us to hurry up on this work."

Yan Bugui rarely saw Li Ming working so late at night, "Why did you go to work so late today?"

Li Ming said foolishly: "I didn't come back until midnight to sleep."

Yan Bugui took the initiative to help carry the bicycle up the steps, "Are you busy recently? How is the construction of the ham sausage branch?"

In fact, there was no need for help at all, so Li Ming went with him, "The foundations were dug and many temporary shacks were built."

"There are places to store the beams and cement, and the linoleum and raincloths are all ready. Even if it rains heavily, you won't be afraid."

Yan Bugui answered: "You are so well prepared, do you plan to continue construction even if it rains?"

"The allocation of graduates will be decided soon. The construction period is very tight and we have to rush to meet the deadline."

Li Ming got on his bicycle and said, "Third uncle, I'm going to take the first step."

Yan Bugui waved his hand, "Keep an eye on the road."

"okay."

In fact, Li Ming just came back from Hong Kong City. Due to receiving the threatening letter with the ultimatum, the Yingguo guys in Hong Kong City were on high alert on the nights of the 30th and 1st.

Li Ming chose a time in the morning when there were many people at work to act.

Hong Kong Island is very small, and Ying Guo's main office is not far from his home in Canruge, and there happen to be three barracks, Wellington, Murray, and Victoria, also close to his home.

While he focused on taking care of the main area, he also sent several bombs to three other places.

After the whole work was over, Li Ming sent Lou Xiaoe to work at the Federal Building 3 miles away, and he returned to the capital to work.

Someone will naturally clean up the mess left in Hong Kong City.

Federal Building.

The little follower Axia saw Lou Xiao'e and said, "Chairman, did you hear the series of big explosions just now?"

Lou Xiao'e said calmly: "Except for the people in the mountains in the New Territories, everyone in Kowloon across the way probably heard it."

"Did the radio station say what happened?"

Axia replied: "I haven't heard yet, it must be the Yingguo people who were bombed."

"The threat letter stated that June 6 is the deadline. After the deadline, there will be attacks anytime and anywhere."

Lou Xiao'e ordered: "Turn on the radio, listen to the losses suffered by the Yingguo people, and then report to me."

Axia responded: "Okay."

After hearing the explosion, several managers of Xingchen Company first stabilized the company's employees, made sure they were fine, and then ran to the Federal Building to visit their boss.

Huang Fuyi, who is in charge of public relations, even asked around, "The two floors of offices in the Jianwei Building were blown up. They may all be the territory of the Zhengzhi Office. The casualties are probably very heavy."

"Wellington Barracks and Merrill Barracks, these two places also killed many Ying soldiers."

"The sound of these explosions is actually relatively ordinary. The loud serial explosions that everyone heard in the morning were actually the explosion of the arsenal in the Victoria Barracks."

Manager Ni Xiu of Mars Trading suddenly said: "It turns out that the arsenal exploded!"

"Everyone was still talking yesterday about whether this was a bluff. This morning came a shock that was even greater than at the beginning of June. The 'mysterious man' really means what he says."

Tang Hongde from the gift company knows the time well around the world. "It is midnight in Yingguo. When I heard the bad news at this time, Prime Minister Wilson will not be able to sleep tonight."

Lin Changjiu from the ham sausage factory said disdainfully: "According to the requirements in the threat letter, if the corrupt people are dealt with early on, everything will be fine."

"The people of Ying country are used to being arrogant. They deserve this big loss."

The vast majority of people in Hong Kong would like to recover the black money taken away by colonial officials who have been transferred from Hong Kong.

The 'mysterious man' obviously didn't bother to investigate and verify one by one. He directly caught Ying Guo to find trouble and asked Ying Guo to deal with those colonial officials.

Tang Hongde gloated: "It may be enough to just suffer this loss. From today on, the people of Ying will never have peace."

"Everyone, please stay away from the Yingguo people recently. Guns and bombs don't have a long eye. Don't make fun of your own life."

Ni Xiu also said: "Stay away from them!"

"If you can't be next to each other, don't be next to each other!"

A bunch of people were talking about it, but no one said that the 'mysterious man' might be caught. Their confidence in the 'mysterious man' obviously exceeded that of the people of Yingguo.

After handling the family concern calls in the chairman's office, Lou Xiao'e also walked to the conference room and "activated the emergency plan."

"No one is allowed to be interviewed by newspapers or radio stations without the company's consent."

Star Company, which attaches great importance to its reputation, does not want to get involved in any hot topics.

'Don't know, don't know, ask others', this simple rejection technique has been popularized to the supervisor level.

Manager Xu Zhiyong is in charge of security, "Chairman, the place where you and Director Li live is too close to the Governor's Mansion. There are many residences of Yingguo people there. How about changing to a safer place first?"

Huang Fuyi said immediately: "There is a villa in Repulse Bay that has been renovated and renovated, and is being ventilated and smelled. You can check in there in advance."

Lou Xiao'e is very stable in the good deeds done by her own man. "Nothing has hurt an innocent person. There is no danger."

Ni Xiu continued to persuade: "This 'mysterious man' may not be so accurate every time. It would be bad if there is an accident. It would be better for you to live in a place with fewer people in Yingguo."

Tang Hongde also advised: "A gentleman does not build dangerous walls. The safety risk of the villa is small. It is best for you and Director Li to move as soon as possible."

Huang Fuyi followed up and advised: "The decoration plan of the villa is decided by you. It should be fine for you and Director Li to stay temporarily for a few days."

The subordinates expressed their kindness, and Lou Xiao'e agreed: "Okay. It will definitely be fine today. I will discuss it with Director Li tonight."

"You should be more careful yourselves and don't wander around."

Axia, the little follower, came to report, "Chairman, the secretary-general of the Federation of Industry has called and invited you to discuss this morning's bombing at the federation's clubhouse at 4 p.m."

Lou Xiao'e said speechlessly: "Just call me back and say I won't go."

"The Chamber of Commerce does not have the strength to overwhelm the people of Yingguo. There is nothing to discuss."

Axia responded: "Okay."

Tang Hongde commented: "We Chinese businessmen are not strong enough yet, so we really shouldn't join in the fun. We should let HSBC, Standard Chartered, Jardine Matheson and other Yingzi companies with some say to take the lead."

Huang Fuyi said in a strange tone: "It's not necessarily the ones who stand out. It's possible they are busy mourning, to show their sincerity and sincerity."

Tang Hongde was surprised and asked, "President Zhou wouldn't be like this, right?"

Huang Fuyi added: "The General Conference is not President Zhou's alone. If there are so many people who propose it, President Zhou will not be able to object."

Lou Xiao'e interrupted: "You can't meddle in other people's business."

"Manager Lin, have you chosen the location for the ham sausage factory in the New Territories?"

Lin Changjiu replied: "The 'Dabu Jiao' train station in Dabu District is more suitable. It has both a train station and a dock, and the land price is also cheap."

"The terminal is mainly for passenger ships and ferries, which have fixed times and will not affect our freight."

Lou Xiao'e is not very familiar with the geography of the New Territories, "Please point me to the specific location."

Lin Changjiu pointed to the bay on the map, "The train station is near the sea."

Lou Xiao'e asked: "Are there any problems with employee recruitment, food, accommodation, and transportation?"

Lin Changjiu made an on-the-spot inspection and said, "The nearest village is a village aided by Magnesium Finance, and there are several Hakka villages nearby. There will be no shortage of workers."

"The train station is only 3 miles away from Tai Po Market. We are building the factory between Tai Po Market and the train station. There should be no problem for employees to eat and commute to get off work."

The full name of Magnesium Economic Aid is the Magnesium Economic Aid Association, which is a by-product of the Marshall Plan.

In 1956, it began to subsidize the construction of small bungalows in the port city to accommodate fishermen and Danmin (people who live on boats).

The source of funds is mainly private donations from the United States, Canada and other countries, and some also comes from donations from gentry in Hong Kong.

Lou Xiao'e asked a key question, "What are the folk customs like?" (End of this chapter)
