Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 499 Street Reputation
Perhaps it was a beautiful day, when Qin Haoran set foot on the land of Hong Kong again, the sky was clear and cloudless, and the sun was not too harsh, and the breeze was very pleasant.

Before returning to Hong Kong, Qin Haoran did not inform Shen Jinghong, Gu Xiangling, Xue Danfeng or Zhou Chaosheng, Su Guoqiang and others, but brought Fang Jintang and the 20 people he carefully selected from the "Southern Camp" back by sea Hong Kong is gone.

It has been three or four months since I left Hong Kong. Although strictly speaking, Hong Kong is not my "hometown", Qin Haoran has lived here for such a long time after all, and Hong Kong still has his most important people here, so He still misses Hong Kong very much.

Three or four months apart, Hong Kong and Qin Haoran did not change much when they left, unlike the rapid economic development in the future, which almost changed every day.

Walking on the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui, looking at the bustling crowd, Qin Haoran suddenly felt pleasing to the eye.

Of course, Qin Haoran didn't let Fang Jintang's 20 people follow him. In this way, he would immediately become the focus of people as soon as he walked on the street.Therefore, Qin Haoran only left Fang Jintang and the other two alone. For the others, Qin Haoran asked them to go to "Tianlang International" to find Qi Tao, and informed them that he was back.

"Second Young Master, this is Hong Kong." Fang Jintang looked around, his eyes couldn't hide his curiosity.

Fang Jintang has never been to Hong Kong, especially since he served as an intelligence officer in the military. The country has very strict supervision on his entry and exit. It is also thanks to Qin Haoran that he was able to come to a big city like Hong Kong this time.

To be honest, the streets and buildings here in Tsim Sha Tsui still feel very crowded and messy, but in this crowded and messy place, there is an extraordinary prosperity, which is completely different from the slightly depressing atmosphere in China today.

Qin Haoran walked forward and said with a smile: "Hong Kong has not shown its glory yet, but just wait, within ten years, Hong Kong's economy will develop by leaps and bounds, and she herself will become a well-known The cosmopolitan city of the world!"

Seeing the absolute certainty on Qin Haoran's face, Fang Jintang was a little strange, and couldn't help asking: "Second Young Master, are you really so sure? Hong Kong was a place where the British were, would they really let Hong Kong develop? "

Qin Haoran turned his head and smiled at him: "Are you in the country, are you promoting to the people that Hong Kong under the control of capitalism is a place in dire straits, and living there is worse than death?"

Hearing this, Fang Jintang couldn't help but feel a little hot on his face. He is a member of the system and has a good understanding of some domestic policies.The Communist Party is the ruling party in China. As a political party that has just begun to take power and govern the country, the Communist Party must of course let the people know their advanced nature.

To let the people know that socialism is more advanced than capitalism, it must be shown in all aspects, including the living standards of the people in the two societies and the degree of economic development.

Not long after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was still in a stage of waste, and the people's living standards had not yet fully recovered. In addition, domestic productivity was still very low, and it could barely meet the needs of the people.For the current living standard and economic development in China, two words can be used to describe it—struggle.

Hong Kong is different here. Although the problem of disparity between rich and poor is very serious, the overall standard of living is much higher than that in China.Of course, the government cannot let the people know that Hong Kong under capitalism is better than China under socialism, so it deliberately propagates to the public that people in Hong Kong are being exploited and squeezed by the evil capitalists, and their lives are very difficult.

Qin Haoran smiled at the other party and said: "In a capitalist society, exploitation and oppression certainly exist, but it is undeniable that the current China Sea is not as good as these capitalist countries. I think the leadership needs to recognize That fact, and then go after it instead of deluding yourself or rushing forward.”

The recent "Great Movement" movement in China was the product of this kind of deformed thinking. Not only did it not play a real role in promoting society, but on the contrary, it seriously damaged the development of economy and production.

Fang Jintang also has a better understanding of the domestic situation and knows the facts Qin Haoran said, but he still does not agree that capitalism is better than socialism.

He said to Qin Haoran: "Second young master, is socialism really inferior to capitalism?"

Qin Haoran shook his head lightly, and said: "Of course not, it's just that our country still has a lot to learn and work hard, but we don't need to be discouraged, and we don't need to be discouraged, because our country will eventually become An existence that stands proudly among the nations and nations of the world!"

Fang Jintang nodded heavily. He felt that although Qin Haoran was very young, his knowledge and talent were the most powerful among the people he had ever met.In particular, Fang Jintang faintly sensed that Qin Haoran is not the kind of businessman who only seeks profit, he has his own ideals.

At this time, Qin Haoran and the others passed by a stall selling "Potato Cake", and the person selling "Potato Cake" was an old man in his fifties with gray hair.

Qin Haoran could not help but stop when he smelled the fresh fragrance of "Potter Cake", and bought ten pieces of "Potato Cake" from the old man, and distributed them to Fang Jintang and the other two, and said with a smile at the same time: "You guys Try it, this is a Cantonese snack, it tastes very good."

The three of Fang Jintang took the "Pocket Cake" and took a sip, their eyes immediately brightened.

And Qin Haoran also ate with relish, and asked the old man: "Old man, is the business okay?"

The old man is obviously a talkative person, and because Qin Haoran is his guest, he smiled and said: "Not bad, enough for me to support my family."

"That's old man, your '砵仔饼' is authentic and delicious, so the business will be good." Qin Haoran chuckled.

But the old man shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily the case. My craftsmanship of making '砵仔饼' has not changed for decades, but in the past, I worked hard to sell it for a month, but it was not enough for our family to eat. , can’t even fill my stomach.”

Before Qin Haoran could open his mouth, the old man continued: "In Tsim Sha Tsui in the past, there were gangsters all over the hall, fighting and fighting for three days and two days, the street is very chaotic, and the protection fees are heavy. And those gangsters, if there are thieves not caught, they will bully us small citizens, let alone eat for free, and have to pay them a security fee every month, which is even more abominable than those gangsters. I earn a month Most of the money was given to these halls and offices.”

After Fang Jintang heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, thinking that there are indeed many problems in this capitalist society. There are no gangsters in our country, and our police will never bully the people like this.

Fang Jintang didn't know that the social atmosphere in China was relatively good in this era. By the end of the 21th century and the beginning of the [-]st century, the situation in China would not be much better than Hong Kong now.

Seeing Qin Haoran and others listening to him quietly, the old man became chatty and said with a smile: "We neighbors didn't know how long this situation would last until the 'Kirin Society' and Lan The detective is here."

Hearing what the old man said, Fang Jintang became curious and asked, "'Kirin Club'? It sounds like a gangster too."

"That's right, the 'Kirin Society' is indeed a gang." The old man said seriously: "But the 'Kirin Society' is different from other gangsters or gangs, they never bully or oppress ordinary citizens like us, although they We charge protection fees every month, but that's just symbolic. Do you know how much the 'Kirin Club' charges me for protection every month? It's equal to the price of ten '砵子饼'. And , After the 'Kirin Club' collects our protection fee, it will really protect us, if there is a fire or something, the people of the 'Kirin Club' will help, and the efficiency is better than that of the fire brigade."

Fang Jintang was very surprised when he heard it. This "Kirin Club" sounds like those chivalrous sects in ancient times.

I heard the old man say again: "There is also Inspector Lan, the former gangsters are more annoying than gangsters, but since Inspector Lan has managed this area, the situation has improved a lot, at least, Those gangsters will no longer come to charge us security fees, and they will also pay for food.”

Speaking of this, the old man said proudly: "It's just our area, because we have the 'Kirin Society' and Inspector Lan, so our life is better, at least much more stable than other places. One of my relatives in the typhoon shelter said that almost all of the money he earned every month was handed over to the hall and office there. I heard that it is the territory of Sha Biao, huh! That Sha Biao is not as good as the 'Kirin Club''s brother, he is a treacherous and evil bastard!"

Qin Haoran smiled and said: "It seems that you all like 'Qi Linhui' and that Inspector Lan."

"Of course." The old man said with a loud smile, "There is none of us in the neighborhood who doesn't like 'Qi Linhui' and Inspector Lan. In the past, if a child from any family became a hooligan, it would be ugly, but now, If he joined the 'Kirin Club', it would be different, their family would have to treat them to a meal to celebrate, it would be happier than winning the number one prize."

Fang Jintang laughed: "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

The old man glared at Fang Jintang: "Do you think it is so easy to get into the 'Kirin Club'? Their selection is almost as good as going to college, and once you enter the 'Kirin Club', you can get it every month. A fixed salary, more income than those who sit in an office."
