Chapter 568 Falling Behind
Chapter 568 Falling Behind
After returning to Hong Kong with Lai Dongsheng and Huo Zhengting, the recruitment of new members proceeded step by step.
The next day, "91 Chigua Newspaper" published an article about the further advancement of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Station project.
In April next year, the Chernobyl accident will shock the world, and the safety of nuclear power will once again attract attention. If we want to speed up the construction of the Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, 97 is a window period. If we don't get it done within this year, it will really be pushed to after .
There was no need for a suggestive title. Just the mention of a project plan was enough to trigger protests again. Thousands of citizens took to the streets to protest against the construction of the nuclear power plant.
Several Hong Kong government lawmakers have come forward to accuse the Shenzhen government of disregarding the safety of Hong Kong Island.
The brothers of Zhongyitang followed the society's request and went door to door or on the streets as required. With the cooperation of the police, no bloodshed occurred.
Unlike the social groups showing off their horses, most of the citizens who went out on the streets this time were truly concerned about the safety of nuclear power.
With a large number of uniformed soldiers maintaining order, the brothers of Zhongyi Hall mainly used methods of driving away and intimidating people, and did not resort to direct violence.
Although there are some illegal incidents, it is generally considered a gray method. It is not uncommon to use gray methods when encountering obstacles in urban development.
The other associations and companies understood that this was a political confrontation and did not dare to intervene, so they just sat on the sidelines and watched.
After three months of turmoil, the project was finally advanced and successfully launched in Shenzhen.
The domestic company's willingness to give up 25% of its shares is actually a gesture of compromise.
Let British capital participate in the project and make money together, what else do you want? The authorities got the shares and stopped opposing it. The wave of opposition from the citizens gradually died down due to lack of support.
To put it bluntly, there is a complete plan in China, but only one person is missing to take the responsibility. No one in the preparatory group is willing to step forward, and only Yin Zhaotang dares to take the responsibility!
At the end of the month, when Lao Zhong was at Tuodi, Jie Shiyong was a little dissatisfied and said, "Ah Tang, it doesn't matter if you want to perform or make achievements, but we are the ones being scolded. Isn't that a bit unreasonable?"
Old Mo crossed his legs, biting a toothpick, and said in a playful tone: "What's the big deal about you being scolded? Someone just threw paint at my old house in Mount Davis the day before yesterday."
"We used to have such a good reputation, but suddenly, we became a troublemaker in Hong Kong."
Guangzai also joined in and said, "Brother Tang, what benefits did the mainland give you that you work so hard and don't even care about your reputation?"
Yin Zhaotang sat in the first seat on the left, smiling, looking at the three people who had reached an agreement, and shook his head slowly: "Reputation is only temporary, and public opinion changes with the wind."
"I'll do anything from being scolded for two days to being praised for a lifetime, for free!"
Fat Cat narrowed his eyes slightly, and seeing that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, he suddenly waved: "Guangzai, come here."
Guangzi's expression suddenly changed. He slowly stood up, walked to Grandpa, bowed and said, "Boss."
Fat Cat suddenly grabbed the cane and hit him on the head, causing him to cover his head in pain and scream, "What the hell, Grandpa, I was just chatting."
Fat Cat was holding a dragon-headed stick, his eyes bright, and he said in a loud voice: "In front of Guandi, under the lights, in the crowd, you are sitting in the big seats one by one, is there any idle chat?"
"I said I would kill your whole family tonight, but it was just a casual chat. Do you believe me?"
Guangzi held his head with his hands, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his eyes, but when he met Grandpa's murderous gaze, he lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, Grandpa."
Fat Cat snorted coldly: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. It's a nuclear power plant, Atang, do you have any shares?"
Zuoshou, Dantie, Ah Lok and other brothers were already angry and stared at Guangzai. When Zhongyitang was doing things, Guangzai, Lao Mo and Jie Shiyong did not object and even made great efforts. But at the meeting today, they were making innuendos and complaining all the time. Wasn't it because they didn't see the generous "Tang brother" share the money?
You know, every time the club did something, Shenxiantang would share the benefits, which made the club grow step by step. Now that there was no sign of money, Guangzai and the other two wanted to ask about it.
Everyone knows how big the Shenxiantang business is. Those who don’t use the club are reluctant to interfere, but those who use the club can’t help but endure it.
Yin Zhaotang had seen through the three people, picked up the teacup, and said lightly: "No!"
Fat Cat's expression changed a little. When he looked back at Guangzai, he was already a little disappointed. He pointed the dragon head stick at his nose and shouted, "Remember, you can only touch what Atang gives you. You can't take what he doesn't give you."
"The club can get to where it is today thanks to Atang. Don't you guys have benefited enough from this?"
The second half was already a scolding directed at the three people, which frightened Lao Mo and Jie Shiyong so much that they stood up together.
Jie Shiyong was terrified and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Brother Tang!"
Lao Mo also said: "I was too talkative, it's my fault, please forgive me, Brother Tang."
Zuoshou, Dantana, Ale and others have gotten a little better.
Yin Zhaotang shook his hands and said indifferently: "It's a small matter. Brothers have contributed a lot. It's fine if you want to get some benefits. You are just speaking for the brothers."
"With your left hand, take out some money and give it to the brothers crossing the street. Give each of them an extra 200 yuan."
Zuo Shou said with a straight face, "Yes, Brother Tang."
Fat Cat sighed, how could he not know that his three confidants had offended Shenxiantang? He wanted to protect them, so he asked everyone to disperse and left Yin Zhaotang alone to drink tea.
After taking the tea from Uncle Gensheng, Yin Zhaotang spoke first: "Grandpa, take care of your health and help me hold on for another two years. Don't get angry because of these bad boys."
"Don't worry, as long as you are here, I will not touch them. Even if you are not in good health one day and really want to quit, I will give them a good result, provided they don't go the wrong way."
Fat Cat opened his mouth, intending to protect his three confidants, but suddenly changed his mind and said through gritted teeth: "One day, when I die, I will directly destroy them and drive them out of the mountain!"
"They have earned enough over the years, but they dare to question you because they didn't get paid for something. You really paid them too much and made them crazy. They are crazy!"
Yin Zhaotang couldn't help but look sideways at his grandfather. As expected, in his grandfather's eyes, the society's reputation was the most important, and everything else was secondary, even Guangzai, Lao Mo and others who had been with him for so many years.
However, if one can stick to his original heart until old age, he can be considered a hero in his lifetime and deserves respect from others.
"Let's talk later." Yin Zhaotang smiled, and was more talkative than Fat Cat had expected, which also made Fat Cat feel relieved. If it is not necessary, it is best to avoid fighting within the same family.
But even Fat Cat had a hint of suspicion in his eyes. Did Shenxiantang really not take the money?
He helps the mainland without asking for a penny, and is even called a "Hong Kong thief". This is not like his style.
Yin Zhaotang put down the teacup and looked back at Fat Cat as he left, as if confirming something.
When he walked out of the door of Chaoyi Restaurant, his face was filled with disappointment, and he sighed sincerely: "It's the end! Asking them to figure it out is a bit too much to ask."
Grandpa, Guangzai and the others’ horizons have really reached their peak. In the future, many people will slowly fall behind and won’t be able to keep up.
