Chapter 407: Superior and inferior

A distinguished British knight, he was born in the Qing Dynasty, grew up in Britain, and built his career in the Commonwealth's overseas colonies, from Malaysia to Singapore, and then to Hong Kong Island.

After thousands of years of changes, the family has been wandering and struggling bloodily.

You will eventually have a life of honor and a fortune of hundreds of billions.

Only worth two thousand dollars in the eyes of the white officer?
He made a phone call to the Customs Department and was later given a sea view apartment worth HK$1.3 million.

Bao Yugang closed his eyes and sighed, "I can't trust foreigners."

Cao Guangbiao sat on the sofa, picked up the teacup, and said with emotion: "People who are not of my race must have different hearts. The Chinese in Hong Kong will always rely on the Chinese."

Wang Kuancheng is the president of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and the representative of the pro-mainland faction of the Ningbo Gang. He was previously excluded by the Zhejiang businessmen. He was so angry that he glared at Shao Yifu and said, "Shao Laoliu, are you colluding with the foreigners?"

The Chinese General Chamber of Commerce is a patriotic Hong Kong business association established under the leadership of the mainland. After 97, it has a very high status and is the nominal leader of all chambers of commerce in Hong Kong.

But before 97, it was jokingly called the Workers and Peasants Chamber of Commerce, a chamber of commerce specifically for workers and farmers.

Compared with the famous philanthropists of later generations, the less well-known Wang Kuancheng moved his overseas factories to Shanghai after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and was the first to return to China to invest.

The city gate was built at the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China. Aircraft were donated to fight against the US and aid Korea. When there was a shortage of supplies, all the real estate in Hong Kong was sold to donate. When Shanghai lacked ships, it went to the Netherlands and Japan to buy them.

In 1958, he donated money to help sponsor Jinan University in Guangdong Province. In , he served as vice chairman of the "Committee to Struggle against British Hong Kong Persecution". Since , he has been the president of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce.

He worked until 1985, and after his retirement, he donated million US dollars to China to establish the "Wang Kuancheng Education Foundation" to strongly support domestic education construction.

He was also the boss behind the "Four Modernizations Association" and actively promoted reunification in Hong Kong. After his death, he was buried in the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery. The red-headed document commented that he was "an outstanding representative of patriotism and love for Hong Kong" and was posthumously awarded the title of "Reform Pioneer".

Such people enjoy glory after death in Hong Kong's business community, but feel depressed during their lifetime and often have to fight against pro-British factions and the British Hong Kong authorities.

There is always a sense of injustice in my heart. I hate the Chinese capital for colluding with foreigners, and I hate even more that some people are secretly harming my compatriots.

In fact, Shao Yifu has been in constant contact with Wang Kuancheng recently, hoping to leave a way out so that when the situation changes, he can give up his wealth and keep his wealth.

Using Wang Kuancheng to donate money to the country is actually a very good idea, but now Yin Zhaotang's heart-breaking plan immediately cuts him off from his fellow countrymen in the Ningbo business community.

Because Yin Zhaotang made everyone realize that there is no good ending if you mess around with foreigners, so why would you help someone who colludes with foreigners?

You know, Yin Zhaotang didn't do anything shady, but invited the wealthy businessmen of Ningbo business community to the scene, and openly questioned and punished them according to the law!

At this time, helping Shao Yifu is not helping his fellow countrymen, but firmly helping the foreigners and expressing the determination to go all the way with them.

Not overthrowing Shao Yifu, proving their own innocence, and currying favor with the pro-China faction are the last ways in which several big bosses keep in mind their old friendship.

Seeing that the situation was pushed to a dead end, Shao Yifu was frightened and filled with despair, but as a businessman who grew up in the war, he was not without ruthlessness. He picked up the stick in his hand and chopped at the big man.

The big horse boy was young and strong. He blocked with his arms, knocked away Uncle Six's stick, and exclaimed in surprise: "Uncle Six!"

Shao Yifu narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed with ferocity, and he shouted, "You bastard, how dare you collude with the foreigners? Who told you to do this?"

Da Mazi's scalp tingled, and he shouted in shock, "It wasn't me, Uncle Six, it really wasn't me."

Shao Yifu threw away the stick and pointed at the big horseman's nose: "If it wasn't you who did it, could it be me?"

The big horse boy looked at Uncle Six's face, which looked like a demon. Images of his family flashed through his mind. He did not dare to resist and said tremblingly, "It's not Uncle Six."

Niu Qiang pulled out the Black Star pistol from his waist, stepped forward, and pointed it at the big man's head: "It wasn't you who did it, and it wasn't Boss Shao who did it, so who did it?"

Bao Yugang, Cao Guangbiao and Wang Kuancheng watched coldly. Even if he was shot to death by Niu Qiang, it was what the big man deserved.

The big horse boy moved his mouth and whispered, "I did it."

Yin Zhaotang took off his cigar and exhaled slowly: "You should be a man if you dare to take responsibility for your actions. If you don't admit it, you are a coward!" "Shao Sheng, I will give you a favor. I won't bleed in front of all the big bosses. Just let me deal with the man privately."

Shao Yifu nodded slowly and said, "No problem, Mr. Yin."

Niu Qiang raised his elbow, and hit Da Ma Zai in the face with a fast and fierce blow. Da Ma Zai used the same trick again and tried to block with his arms, but before he could raise his right hand, his nose was smashed and his eyes went dark.

Two brothers from the Punishment Hall rushed over and took the man away.

Yin Zhaotang picked up the gentleman's cane on the ground, handed it to Shao Yifu and said, "Mr. Shao, are you interested in sitting down and discussing business again?"

Shao Yifu looked much more relaxed and went to take the cane: "It's a good thing for Huaxing to be able to cooperate with Yin Sheng."

When his fingers were about to reach for the gentleman's cane, Yin Zhaotang suddenly changed his position, grabbed the cane horizontally, and hit Shao Yifu on the back of his hand.

"Pick that star, you low-ranking knight, you can't walk without supporting the ghosts, right!"

There was a clear sound of bone cracking from the back of Shao Yifu's hand. Bao Yugang, Cao Guangbiao and others raised their eyebrows and looked at him sideways.

Li Dasan, the electrical appliance tycoon, advised: "Mr. Yin, don't kill anyone."

Although they all felt that Shao Yifu should admit his mistake, his crime was not punishable by death. Just a light blow of the stick was enough to make all the tycoons feel insecure.

Wang Kuancheng snorted coldly and said, "I think he is used to kneeling. He won't remember the punishment unless he is beaten."

The big bosses of the Ningbo Gang present here all have wealth far exceeding Shenxiantang, and naturally they are all in their seventies or eighties.

Shao Yifu is 65 years old, wears glasses, and looks gentle and refined, but in fact he has lost all the fat and is left with only a layer of skin and bones.

The severe pain from the back of his hand made his forehead sweat and his teeth chatter. When Ben wanted to find a way out for Shaw, he could only grit his teeth and endure the pain. He laughed happily: "What Yin Sheng taught us is that if you rely on foreigners, you will never have a good ending."

Yin Zhaotang smashed his cane on the table, breaking it in two, and warned everyone present: "I know that many people think that the democracy and freedom of the foreigners are more suitable for making money and abusing power."

"There are still some fools who still have illusions about foreigners, thinking that the good development of Hong Kong Island in recent years is all due to foreigners."

"There's no point in debating. I just want to tell you something. In the eyes of the foreigners, the lower-ranking knights of the British court are inferior people. It only costs two thousand dollars to sell you out."

"No matter how impressive the title is, it is no different from being a prostitute. Only Chinese people who stand up straight are superior people, the sponsors of foreigners and the godfathers of foreign girls. As a human being, you should respect yourself!"

Bao Yugang nodded slowly: "Although Yin Sheng is young, he sees this more clearly than any of us."

Yin Zhaotang threw the half-broken stick in his hand at Shao Yifu: "Boss Shao, you are no longer qualified to discuss business with me."

Wang Kuancheng considered that the Sino-British negotiations were still ongoing and that Shao Yifu's surrender would greatly shock the Hong Kong society, so he urged: "Atang, you should give Shao a chance to correct his mistakes. The Chinese nation will definitely accommodate our compatriots."

"talk later!"

Yin Zhaotang put out his cigar in the ashtray, turned around and led his men out of the room without discussing how to deal with Shao Yifu.

This confrontation is not purely a business competition, but has a strong sense of political struggle. In the end, personal dictatorship may not be as effective as negotiating with the domestic party and reaching a united front.

As for killing Shao Laoliu in private, it would undoubtedly attract investigation from the authorities and be targeted by the Ningbo business community. Because, judging by the results on the surface, the Ningbo business community did not want Mrs. Shao Yi's personal safety to be in danger.

Doctors are not subject to criminal punishment, which protects the collective scholar class; Hong Kong businessmen are not subject to criminal punishment, which is the right that Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong are currently fighting for.

To fight against Shao Laoliu, there is no need to offend an entire group. If he wants to swallow up Shaw Brothers commercially with his own strength, he does not even have enough capital pool.

If we want to maximize our benefits, we must also rely on the mainland.

Shao Yifu didn't get a public result, and he was completely panicked. He came to Wang Kuancheng, knelt on the ground, and begged for mercy: "Brother Cheng, we are all from the same hometown, you must save me!"
