We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 691: Fighting against Stowaways

"Uncle Kun, Uncle Kun, something bad has happened."

In a fishing village in southern Hong Kong Island, a man in his twenties anxiously ran into a three-story self-built villa.

This villa is obviously different from other houses in the village, not because it is three-story, but because it is luxurious enough.

There are many two- and three-storey buildings in the countryside of Hong Kong Island, but most of them are in the New Territories and are relics of history.

There are some people building small buildings in rural areas in the south, but not many.

Such a three-story private villa with elegant decoration and luxurious style is a rare treasure.

This kind of building should be at the top of Barker Road, or in Sham Shui Po and Lantau Island, where the wealthy live.

"Why are you making so much noise? Don't disturb Mazu's peace."

The first floor of the villa is semi-open. In the Chinese-style living room on the first floor, there is a statue of Mazu in the middle facing the main entrance.

At this moment, an old man in an elegant Tang suit stood quietly in front of the solemn statue of Mazu, clasped his hands lightly, bowed devoutly in salute, and then slowly raised the incense and candles. In the curling green smoke, he burned incense and prayed with a focused expression. Every move revealed his endless respect and prayers for Mazu.

After everything was over, Uncle Kun turned around and angrily scolded the young man, "I told you not to make loud noises in front of Mazu. You have no memory at all. You only remember to eat but not to be beaten.
We live by the sea, and if you offend Mazu, you may die at sea without knowing how you died."

"Yes, Uncle Kun, I remember." The young man spoke much more softly this time.

Uncle Kun glared at the other person, then sat down on the armchair beside him and took a sip of tea.

"Tell me, what happened?"

"Uncle Kun, the Hong Kong government passed a resolution today to cancel the policy of the First Shelter."

"What?" Uncle Kun jumped up immediately when he heard the news, and his voice was so loud that it almost shattered the guy's eardrums.

"Uncle Kun, don't make too much noise," the young man pointed at Mazu and reminded her.

"What the hell is Mazu? I've lost my job."

A mouse is always a mouse. Even if he has three thousand beauties in his harem, he can never be the emperor.

What does Uncle Kun do? He sounds nice, but he's actually in the smuggling business.

I have made a lot of money over the years, recruited some followers, and dreamed of opening a temple, but it can only be said that it was a pipe dream.

In 1975, the victory of North Vietnam did not bring stability. At that time, the wealthy Chinese were all in South Vietnam, and North Vietnam confiscated their property.

And so, the escape began.

The rich can fly directly to Europe and the United States to continue their luxurious life, but some ordinary people do not have such good thing.

Sitting on the crowded boat, we were no different from the refugees in the late Qing Dynasty.

So they chose to use Hong Kong Island as a transit point, making money in Hong Kong Island and then taking better transportation to the West.

It happened that the Queen of England came to Hong Kong at this time. In order to create a harmonious atmosphere, the Hong Kong government agreed to become the first shelter, or transit station.

Subsequently, Hong Kong's economy took off and it became a paradise for Vietnamese illegal immigrants. Although the Hong Kong government now repatriates a large number of illegal immigrants every year, it still takes in a number of real refugees every year for humanitarian reasons.

But at that time it was said that these people were just stranded in Hong Kong Island and would eventually be accepted by the West, and the United Nations also stated that it would compensate Hong Kong Island.

But this promise was just a mirage and has not been fulfilled to this day.

It was fine when Hong Kong Island had a large number of labor-intensive enterprises, but now these refugees have become a burden.

So Hong Kong Island has now cancelled this policy, and accordingly, Uncle Kun, who runs this business, is facing a desperate situation.

"One set is in place, over."

"Group 2 has arrived at the designated location, over."

"action".

An old industrial building in Kwai Chung. Now this building has no industrial elements at all.

The exposed parts of the exterior wall were covered with red bricks, and the interior was converted into small single rooms.

The simple lime walls and the corridors littered with garbage and debris give it the appearance of a slum.

Don’t be fooled by the ugly environment, the people working here are all high-paid workers.

It's just that some of their jobs violate the laws of Hong Kong Island. They make money by flirting and acting coquettishly. They are all engaged in import and export trade.

"Ah~".

A large number of police officers rushed into the building. The women who were discussing the details of their customers without doing anything started to scream in panic when they saw the police.

This shout was like a chain reaction. The whole building began to jump up and down. Every big white butt on the floor was shaking, and those who didn't have time to put on their clothes knew to cover their faces.

Although there are many exits in the entire building, the lack of windows makes it too closed, which makes it easier to capture.

In less than half an hour, SDS had the situation under control.

SDS stands for Anti-pornography Task Force, which is affiliated to the Special Duties Team of the Hong Kong Police Force. Its main responsibility is to crack down on pornography, prostitution and other crimes.

Outside the building, a large number of police cars were taking away business operators and consumers one after another, because there were too many people and they could not be taken away all at once.

Next to a police car not far away, watching everyone in the building being driven out, a police inspector said to another police inspector

"Sir Gu, our mission has been completed, now it's your turn."

The man called Sir Gu smiled bitterly and looked helpless.

"Since when does anti-pornography campaign require our PDU's involvement? This is so ridiculous."

PDU is the police dog team, responsible for rescue, tracking, detection of explosives and drug enforcement. Sometimes they are also responsible for patrolling and counter-terrorism, but they do not combat pornography.

"There's no other way. Brother Yi has personally given the order not to let anyone go. I don't want to make so much trouble, but there are too many cluttered corners in this kind of building. You can't ask my people to turn everything upside down, right? How about you go and talk to Brother Yi? That way it will save us some trouble."

Sir Gu pursed his lips and said, "Do you think I didn't say that? It's not like you didn't hear me being scolded in the meeting."

"Forget it, Sir Zhong, you can go by yourself. I don't want to cause any trouble. Just bear with the hardship these days."

Generally speaking, such anti-pornography operations will not involve such detailed searches or pursuits because it would waste too much human resources.

What if they are caught? Most of the time they are released after paying a deposit.

But this time, for some unknown reason, the eldest brother demanded that no one be released and even called in the police dog team.

Hong Kong Island Police Force, even though it is late at night, the entire building is still bustling with people.

In the SDS department, Mr. Zhong, who had returned to take charge of the situation, looked at his subordinates who had come in and asked, "Is the interrogation over?"

"All inquiries have been completed and everyone has been dealt with in accordance with regulations."

Looking at the report handed over by his subordinates, Sir Zhong smiled bitterly inwardly and said, "Our department has let the boss play a trick of killing with a borrowed knife."

Seeing his subordinates looking confused, Sir Zhong did not explain.

"Let everyone below go back and rest. We will be busy for the next period of time."

...Shouson Hill, also known as Shouson Village.

Located between Wong Chuk Hang and Deep Water Bay, you can reach Happy Valley and Causeway Bay by passing through the Aberdeen Tunnel.

The name of this place comes from the fact that in 1936 the British royal family recognized Sir John Shouchen's contribution to Hong Kong Island, so they named the hill where he lived in Wong Chuk Hang Shouchen Hill.

Because of its quiet environment, high privacy and convenient transportation, it has become a traditional wealthy area in Hong Kong Island.

At first, it was only inhabited by foreign high-ranking officials such as the Financial Secretary. Later, it attracted many traditional wealthy people and gradually became the residence of some old money. Living here itself is a symbol of status.

In a villa at No. 19 Shouson Hill, lives Hutchison's leader, Big Head B.

It was early morning. Ba Hu, who was having breakfast with Big Head B, was watching the morning news on TV with a worried look on his face.

"Boss, the force of this attack is too great, it's a bit unreasonable, will it be..."

"will not".

Big Head B is very sure.

"Haven't you noticed that the news about the crackdown on pornography is only briefly mentioned? The news that is being reported in great detail is actually about illegal immigration."

Watching the news has become a habit for Big Head B, especially the morning news and the evening news broadcast on ATV Comprehensive Channel.

If nothing unexpected happens, Big Head B will watch these two news items every day without fail.

Because Big Head B discovered that these news are all ways to make money and policy predictions, provided you can understand them.

Just like now, what Ba Hu sees is Hong Kong Island’s vigorous crackdown on pornography, while what Da Tou B sees is the targeting of illegal immigration.

Horse pens have always been one of the important economic sources of the community, and there is no way to eliminate this industry.

Especially for the many younger brothers below, there is no way to make every one of them a blue-collar worker, so stables and nightclubs become the best places to settle them.

Therefore, if the Hong Kong government really vigorously regulates this industry in Hong Kong Island, Ba Hu will certainly be anxious.

“Tell the people below that they can continue their business as usual, and if they get caught, just pay their bail.

But one thing is, don’t accept those without ID, and let the girls you have leave.”

"Ah?" Ba Hu said reluctantly, "Boss, they are our main force. If we lay them off, we will lose more than half of our employees.

There are other societies, they will definitely accept these people, and many customers will be taken away by then."

"Do as I say."

In fact, Big Head B didn’t know why he did this, but he knew that these stowaways could not be kept.

Big Head B made the right bet again. In the following half month, the entire Hong Kong launched an unprecedented anti-pornography campaign.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this anti-pornography campaign is very targeted. For example, if they fail to find illegal immigrants in factories under Big Boss B three times, they will not go there again.

As for those who have illegal immigrants, there are police officers acting on them almost every day. Not only do they fail to do business with them, but they also have to pay a lot of bail.

One day in mid-July, many people were surprised to see the TV report that 7 people would be deported from Hong Kong Island in the near future.

You should know that since Hong Kong Island implemented the talent immigration plan and began to crack down on illegal immigrants, Hong Kong residents have rarely seen scenes like before where illegal immigrants were everywhere.

Now, if I suddenly tell you that three hundred thousand people suddenly appeared, everyone would be shocked.

Wages in Hong Kong are high, so it is unavoidable that people sneak in from some countries in the north and Southeast Asia.

Even though the Hong Kong government has introduced strict penalties for employing illegal immigrants, such incidents cannot be avoided.

The reality is that the labor costs in Hong Kong are too high, and those short-sighted small bosses in business-intensive industries are willing to take risks.

The main force behind these illegal immigrants is social groups, that is, Fengjie.

In Hong Kong Island, there are at least 80,000 Fengjie practitioners, if not 100,000, not counting those who are unwilling to spread their legs and have some talent in nightclubs.

Most of these people are illegal residents, because they are cheap and the gangs don't have to take any risks.

You can check it out. I haven't hired any employees. These are just customers who come here to play.

Therefore, the most important thing to crack down on illegal households is to crack down on this industry.

As for why we do this, it is to seek stability.

The Hong Kong government has significantly increased the number of labor contracts for foreign workers in recent years, which will definitely have an impact on Hong Kong residents.

As labor-intensive industries move northward and older workers are liberated, Hong Kong Island’s unemployment rate would have risen.

However, the rise of the service industry and a large number of land reclamation projects have prevented Hong Kong Island’s unemployment rate from exploding, and there has even been a labor shortage.

In order to alleviate the labor shortage, the Hong Kong government will handle a number of labor employment contracts every year based on the situation to saturate the Hong Kong Island market.

The increase in the number of employees now will inevitably lead to oversupply, and the rising unemployment rate will be a factor of social instability.

So Luo Nianzhong regarded cracking down on illegal households as a solution.

Most of those deported are Fengjie?
Who told you that Fengjie cannot get an employment contract? There are many people like her because they make so much money.

Everyone has desires, and this is especially true in a glamorous world like Hong Kong Island.

This creates a huge demand, and those women who are employed are very willing to earn enough savings for their lifetime in a few years to support themselves in their retirement.

“Now is a transition period, and many workers in Hong Kong Island have not reached retirement age and cannot work in the technology industry.

When the reclamation project is completed, what will you do with the large number of workers that will be released? "

This brings us to the labor employment contracts in Hong Kong. The employment terms for these low-level migrant workers are calculated on an annual basis, which can also be regarded as a work visa.

Once a project is completed, these people can stay in Hong Kong Island as long as their contract has not expired.

"It doesn't matter. I already have a solution."

"Tell me about it." Chris became interested in Luo Nianzhong's words. This confident look of preparing for a rainy day was what attracted her the most.

“The end of land reclamation does not mean it will no longer exist, but the scale will not be as large as the one on Lamma Island this time, so a lot of labor will still be employed.

The rest? You know, there are more than 40,000 old buildings in Hong Kong.

Especially for Hong Kong Island, this has a serious impact on the cityscape and is a waste of land resources.

Many old buildings are now not occupied by many people, so whether it is acquisition or relocation, I think many people would be willing."

"Why would any real estate developer be willing to do this? The cost is much higher than directly acquiring the land."

“Yes, Hong Kong Island is the core of Hong Kong Island and the area with the highest housing prices, whether you are willing to admit it or not.

If a large number of old buildings can be acquired and converted into skyscrapers, no real estate developer can refuse.

Don’t forget that the land lease period in most places on Hong Kong Island is 999 years, so this is very tempting to real estate developers no matter how high the cost is.”

Chris was so fascinated by the eyes that she forgot about it.
