The Lord of the World Begins from the Siheyuan

Huang Fuyi, a public relations consultant who was a broker, is more familiar with it. "There are many fishermen in Tai Po. People who make a living in the sea are generally ruthless characters, and the folk customs are relatively tough."

"The Hakka people who farmed in the mountains and forests also relied on their bravery and hard work to establish themselves in Tai Po."

"In terms of Hong Kong cities, the people of Tai Po are relatively ferocious."

Lou Xiao'e frowned slightly, "That means it's difficult to manage?"

Huang Fuyi replied: "Many villages in the New Territories are populated by clans. As long as the clans are dealt with, it will be easier to manage."

"The Hong Kong government has not even developed Shatin, let alone Tai Po so soon."

"The local people in Tai Po don't have a good way out. It's relatively easy for us to deal with the local clans."

"For example, if we give those elders a place to go to Australia, they will definitely do their best to help us for the future of their children and grandchildren."

Lou Xiao'e didn't expect that this could be done, "Can some of the quotas for Australia be used up?"

Wong Fu-yi spoke eloquently, "In the eyes of the older generation of people in the New Territories, work is not stable enough after all, and they can easily be laid off and fired. When they are older, no one wants them. What they value most is land."

"With the money I saved from working in Australia for three years, I can buy a large farm and then rent the land. This is a very stable business in the eyes of these old men."

"In Australia, food and accommodation are provided, and you can get a high salary of HK$300 per month. Those young people have no education and cannot find such good jobs in Hong Kong cities."

"Young people work hard for three years and save 1 Hong Kong dollars. If they don't buy a house in Australia, they can return to Hong Kong to do business."

Lou Xiao'e's thoughts suddenly changed, "Is Hairong Labor Service Company selling quotas to others?"

Huang Fuyi paused and admitted honestly: "Recently, it seems that some gangs are selling places."

Lou Xiao'e snorted coldly, "How much does a quota cost?"

"I really don't know about that."

Huang Fuyi then explained: "The personnel they transport are based on our requirements and are available in all regions. I didn't pay attention to the matters inside."

Lou Xiao'e ordered: "Let Ah Hai handle this matter."

Huang Fuyi helped by saying, "There are many people who want to go to Australia to work."

"Even if you give money, it's a private one-time deal. It's a bit difficult to find out whether the recruiter has received any money."

Lou Xiaoe had no good solution at the moment, "Whether it can be found out is one thing, whether there is a warning is another."

"If you don't teach but call them cruel, let Ah Hai inform you first."

Huang Fuyi agreed: "Okay."

This is also the reason why Li Ming did not eliminate all corruption in Hong Kong City.

It is basically impossible to completely control cash transactions.

It may be good today, but it won't be sure tomorrow because people's hearts will change.

Lou Xiao'e then asked some questions about the new factory, and then sent the branch managers away in a few words.

Office of the Chairman.

In private work, Huang Fuyi and Xu Zhiyong, who were responsible for finding gangs to go to San Francisco, once again reported that no progress had been made.

Huang Fuyi said with a sad face: "No one is willing to send people to San Francisco for development."

"They feel that the police force and the Hong Kong government must undergo major adjustments, and they all want to preserve their strength to prevent the territory of Hong Kong City from being taken over by others, and stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice."

Xu Zhiyong, manager of the security company, explained: "It is useless for gangs with little strength to go to San Francisco; those with strength dislike being thousands of miles away and look down on the benefits."

"There are no big or small gangs. The ambitious ones want to take advantage of the rare opportunity in Hong Kong City to expand, while the unambitious ones just want to keep their own territory."

Lou Xiaoe did not expect that the incident in Hong Kong City would have such side effects. "Do you two have any good suggestions?"

Xu Zhiyong made a suggestion, "Chairman, I think we can try the gangs on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait."

Lou Xiao'e objected: "Their relationship is complicated, and it is likely to be exposed to San Francisco in advance, which will only increase trouble."

The suggestion was discussed in private. Huang Fuyi added: "I think Manager Xu's suggestion is still feasible."

"At the beginning, let's not openly say that we want to kill the Huaqing Gang."

"We can use the excuse of trying to build relationships and ask about the relationship between the gangs on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait and the Magnesium Country, and finally go to San Francisco to find gangs that have nothing to do with them."

Lou Xiao'e said clearly: "The gangs on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait are basically inextricably linked to the intelligence units."

"We don't want to get involved with those special units on the east coast of the Taiwan Strait. That will affect our business in Magnesia and is uneconomical."

Since it was because of this factor, the east coast of the Taiwan Strait was rejected by one vote.

Huang Fuyi suggested: "Why don't we wait? After the turmoil in Hong Kong City is over, there must be some gangs who want to run away. How about taking them to San Francisco?"

Lou Xiao'e had no choice but to say, "Since there is no suitable candidate, we can only wait."

The little secretary Axia came to report again, "Chairman, there is urgent news from the Magnesium Branch."

"Because the employer did not agree to the demand for increased wages, 5 seafarers were put on the job."

"There are now more than 100 magnesium merchant ships docked at various ports and not operating. They also prevent merchant ships from other countries from loading."

"If there is no progress in labor negotiations, the country's shipping industry may be paralyzed for a period of time."

Lou Xiao'e said depressedly: "Isn't this a trap? If the ships from the Magnesium Kingdom don't come out, there will be a shortage of ships in the port city."

"Ask Manager Tang Hongde to call back and ask the branch to keep an eye on it. The latest news will be sent back to Hong Kong City immediately."

"Okay." Axia closed the door and hurried to find someone.

Lou Xiaoe is busy working in the port city.

Li Mingyuan is chic in the capital.

Institute of Innovation and Technology.

Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun had a day off today and did not go to work at the Beijing Pharmaceutical Factory.

Including Xin Yi who brought food, the four of them ate together.

After the meal, Li Ming sent Luo Yun and Xin Yi to a nearby store to buy ice cream.

When Luo Yun left, she looked like she knew everything and winked, which made Zhou Xiaobai want to hit someone.

Li Ming smiled and coaxed: "Luo Yun is single, let's not laugh at her or discriminate against her."

Zhou Xiaobai chuckled and said: "I told her the nickname you gave her last time. She was quite proud to say that she was single and she was glorious."

Li Ming said amusedly: "When did she learn to be so thick-skinned?"

"How do I know this?"

"Fortunately, your little face is tender."

"You keep pinching my face, what should I do if it breaks!"

Li Ming smiled evilly and said: "I understand. You are blaming me for touching the wrong place and not touching the place I should have touched."

"I really can't do anything about you." Zhou Xiaobai complained, but in his heart he was quite satisfied with the feeling of being comforted by his boyfriend.

Li Ming asked softly: "What have you been busy with this morning?"

Zhou Xiaobai said crisply: "I sorted out my work notes, read a book for a while, and listened to the radio for a while."

"You know, there were a series of explosions in the port city, killing and injuring many Ying people."

Li Ming said calmly: "I didn't listen to the radio, but the loudspeaker in the factory broadcast it."

For bad guys like Yingguo, their bad news must be spread out and let everyone know as much as possible.

Usually, even if something is not very serious, it needs to be exaggerated. This time, it needs to be exaggerated.

This is quite a civilized and polite way for us to behave. The newspapers, radio stations, and television stations in Ouzhou and Meiguo have all reacted, and they are all blaming Yingguo for harboring corrupt criminals.

They specially caught Ying Guo, dug up the old accounts from the past few days, and made all kinds of taunts.

Although it is unknown how much money those colonial officials embezzled, it is known that the port city received a donation of 1.6 million pounds.

去年（67年）瑛国的财政收入只有16.6亿英镑，占到了10%的财政收入。要是算上工资5倍以内没捐的部分，起码20%。

For such a big case, Yingguo's local newspapers were not to be outdone and were extremely sarcastic.

In addition, the Ying army in the port city was hit by several bombs for no reason, and they were strongly dissatisfied with being taken advantage of.

The Yingguo cabinet could not withstand the pressure and quickly issued a statement. Whether everyone believed it or not, it had always been resolute in cracking down on corruption.

Colonial officials were senior officials in the port city, but only minor players in the mainland.

Yingguo couldn't solve the trouble, but it was easy to deal with the people who caused the trouble.

The situation was special, and we no longer wanted to talk about the legal process. Regardless of whether the colonial officials who collected black money from the port city were directly arrested in Yingguo, arrest warrants were also issued for those overseas.

Li Ming didn't know Ying Guo's reaction yet, "There are still some unsaid things in our broadcast."

"The donations we received from Hong Kong City are also somewhat related to this explosion."

He picked out some things he could say and told Zhou Xiaobai.

Zhou Xiaobai's eyes were full of adoring little stars, "My dad is not as well-informed as you."

Li Ming smiled and said: "There is some news that the little old man may not have told you on purpose."

Zhou Xiaobai punched him gently, "You are just a little old man."

Li Ming said dotingly: "I am a little old man and you are a little old woman."

Zhou Xiaobai smiled sweetly, "I don't want to be a little old woman."

Li Ming laughed and said, "Then you will be my little wife until forever."

Zhou Xiaobai said coquettishly: "Why do you have to add a small word?"

Li Ming kissed her cheek gently, "Because you are still young, a little baby."

Zhou Xiaobai wiped his face clean and said with feigned disgust: "To be honest, you have such a sweet mouth, where did you learn so many words to coax girls?"

Li Ming said with a smile: "Who told you that your mouth is so sweet? The more I kiss you, the more sweet it becomes."

Zhou Xiaobai said indifferently: "It's all about rhetoric."

"Well, everyone says that I am outspoken and say whatever I say. I am an honest and reliable young man."

"I do not believe."

"You have to believe what I say even if you don't believe it."

"I'm not!"

"It's not up to you!" Li Ming said and wanted to unbutton her shirt.

Zhou Xiaobai quickly stopped and said, "If someone sees me, I will not live anymore."

Li Ming smiled and said: "Whoever dares to look at it, I will poke his eyes out."

Zhou Xiaobai held his hand and refused to let go, "That's even more impossible. Come at night."

"I haven't been to your house for a long time. I miss your bed."

"Are you sure you want my bed?"

"Hush! Zhang Haiyang is here."

After Zhou Xiaobai and Li Ming sat down separately, Zhang Haiyang carried the bicycle to the courtyard.

Li Ming greeted with a smile: "You're late. Luo Yun just went to buy ice cream. You won't be able to get it later."

Zhang Haiyang said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I will just drink some tea."

"This is a summary of the information for the investigation in the countryside. I estimate that you will be here at noon, so I will send it here directly."

Li Ming took a large stack of information and only looked at the top number, "The total amount is 100 million or 800 million?"

Zhang Haiyang introduced: "These are the estimated prices of the two options."

"The simplest thing is to repair the blackboards, desks and chairs, doors, windows, and roofs in the classroom, and add a few desks and chairs. One million is more than enough."

"The ones with more are new classrooms, new sports fields, new kitchens for hot meals, new teachers' offices, new middle school dormitories, and new laboratories. 800 million is also very tight."

Li Ming opened the material and looked at it, "So that's it."

Luo Yun and Xin Yi came back with ice cream.

"Zhang Haiyang, you're here too. The person who works as a light bulb doesn't have ice cream."

Zhang Haiyang waved his hand and said in disgust: "I don't have time to chat with you about trivial matters like a few cents. We are talking about a big project worth millions of dollars."

Luo Yun curled her lips and said, "You make it sound like those millions of dollars are yours."

Xin Yi smiled without saying anything and brought the big box containing ice cream to Zhou Xiaobai's table.

Li Ming said while reading: "Let's make a budget based on 100 million first and see how cooperative each commune and production brigade are."

“There are too many communes and production brigades in Xiaojiujiu, and we don’t need to criticize them.”

"If they cooperate well, we will then give them new projects and tell them the reasons. This is to see that they spend the money in a down-to-earth manner and get things done."

Zhou Xiaobai brought a cup of ice cream to Li Ming, "Are there many production teams and public facilities that won't cooperate?"

Li Ming said patiently: "You can't say that they are uncooperative."

"It's just that many places are used to misappropriating funds, and they dare to use any funds first before talking about it."

"I'm teaching them a lesson and letting them know they have to follow the rules."

Zhang Haiyang speculated: "If that happens, members of communes and production brigades that have no new projects will definitely discuss it."

"Those brigade captains, party secretaries, and commune directors are all unstable."

Li Ming flipped through it roughly, closed the material, and prepared to read it later when he had time. "I did it on purpose. This is the effect I want."

"I guess people will still remember this after more than ten or twenty years."

"It will then ferment and spread to several nearby provinces in North China, and it will be easier to carry out projects in other provinces in the future."

Luo Yun couldn't stop talking while eating ice cream, "You are so cunning. Anyone who goes against you will turn a blind eye when they sleep at night."

Zhou Xiaobai didn’t know much about the whole plan, “Do you want those from other provinces too? There’s not that much money, right?”

Li Ming smiled and said: "If we can really divert the funds from the university, it will be more than enough."

"Besides, didn't Hong Kong City donate money to us?"

"If you have one, you can have two. We can ask people if they are willing to donate more."

Zhang Haiyang is very particular about his work, "Isn't this good? I've already donated once, and it might be embarrassing to come to my door again to ask."

Zhou Xiaobai just knew the origin of the donation and was a little confused, "Didn't you say that the money was a one-time deal?"

Li Ming dealt with the ice cream in his hand, "I still have 22 billion on my account. We won't lose anything if we give it a try."

Luo Yun asked: "What 22 billion?"

Zhang Haiyang and Xin Yi were also full of curiosity.

Li Ming said casually: "Hong Kong City donated 9400 million Hong Kong dollars to our student aid foundation, but they still have 22 billion left to spend." (End of Chapter)
