Siheyuan: Starting at 52, I, He Daqing, will not run away

"Your uncle's family is doing well in Hong Kong Island."

"I remember that in 1938, when the Japanese invaders came to Foshan, my family and your uncle's family went to Hong Kong Island for refuge and bought some properties there."

"Later, when the Japanese surrendered in 1945, I returned to China with my family. I remember your uncle advised me to wait until the country was completely stable before returning, but I didn't listen."

"Now that I think about it, your uncle made the right choice."

"If I had listened to your uncle's advice……"

When Zhang Rongcheng talked about He Daqing's great uncle, he was also full of emotion, and his face showed extreme regret.

He did not regret returning to China.

Instead, he regretted that he had implicated his daughter.

When the Guo Party was defeated, his son wanted to take him to Taiwan, but he did not agree and chose to stay.

Because at that time, he was already eighty years old, and felt that he did not have many days to live, and wanted to return to his roots, even if he died, he would die in Foshan.

Later, his family property was confiscated, and he was sent to labor reform. His daughter, who had fled to Hong Kong Island with her son-in-law's family, returned to China to visit because she was worried about herself.

Who would have thought that in the second year after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Anti-US War broke out. In order to completely blockade the mainland, Western powers and other countries completely tensed up the exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong Island.

According to the above regulations, mainland citizens must obtain a travel certificate issued by the mainland public security bureau to go to Hong Kong Island, and the Hong Kong British officials themselves have also made a regulation that anyone from the mainland must obtain approval from the Hong Kong Island officials in addition to the travel certificate to enter Hong Kong Island.

In February of the following year, the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department made a regulation that Guangdong residents must obtain a pass to Hong Kong Island from the Guangdong Provincial Public Security Department to go to Hong Kong Island.

The implementation of this regulation directly prevented his daughter, who had already obtained a Hong Kong Island ID card, from leaving Foshan and going to Hong Kong Island to reunite with her family.

The reason is very simple.

Because he was labeled a bureaucratic capitalist, his daughter also became a capitalist lady and became a key labor reform target of the street office. How could they issue you a certificate to let you go to Hong Kong Island?

Moreover, his daughter was not at ease leaving him alone in the mainland, so she stayed with him.

Confiscation of property, criticism and struggle, public trial, labor reform...

When have the former big family ladies and rich wives ever suffered such hardships and grievances?

However, for the sake of this old man, his daughter endured it abruptly, and kept encouraging him to work hard for their three meals a day.

This made Zhang Rongcheng feel very sorry for his daughter.

Therefore, when talking about the original choice at this time, he already had a strong regret.

Unfortunately, it is too late to talk about these now.

He Daqing listened to Zhang Rongcheng's story in silence, not knowing how to answer.

Because he had no way to answer this question.

He also couldn't stand from the perspective of an outsider to evaluate whether Zhang Rongcheng's choice was right or wrong.

After a long time.

Zhang Rongcheng shook his head, dispelled the regret in his heart, and sighed:"Time flies so fast, six or seven years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I don't know if your uncle's family's address and phone number in Hong Kong Island have changed."

"Later, I will write you the original address and phone number of your uncle's family in Hong Kong Island. You can try to write a letter to see if you can get in touch with them."

"Given the current domestic situation, it is definitely not appropriate for your uncle and his family to come back. If you really want to see him, you can go to Hong Kong Island."

"But now it is different from before. If you want to go to Hong Kong Island, in addition to the street office and the public security bureau, you also need to get a certificate from Hong Kong Island."

"However, considering your uncle's family is in Hong Kong Island, if you really want to go to Hong Kong Island, it is relatively simple to ask him to issue you a certificate."

Zhang Rongcheng suggested.

After that, he did not forget to say to his daughter:"Yongcheng, go get a pen and a piece of paper, I will write down your uncle He's contact information to Daqing."

It was only then that

He Daqing knew Aunt Zhang's name, Zhang Yongcheng.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Zhang."

He Daqing thanked him and said

"It's okay, it's my duty." Zhang Rongcheng waved his hand and said with a smile:"You still think about your uncle, this is a good thing, I am happy for your uncle from the bottom of my heart."

"You don't know"

"When we were together, your uncle always talked about your grandfather and your father, saying how cute your father was when he was a child."

Zhang Rongcheng said with a smile, looking at He Daqing in front of him, he couldn't help but think of his former friend and felt very close to him.

It can only be said that the older people get, the more nostalgic they become.

And He Daqing in front of him looks too much like his good friend He Yongchang, making it difficult for him not to recall the past.

"My grandfather always talked about my great-uncle when he was alive, but unfortunately, due to the war, he never got to see him again."

He Daqing also said with emotion.

Of course, he had no feelings for his adopted grandfather whom he had never met.

After all, the old man was also a god.

Not to mention He Daqing, even his predecessor had never met the old man.

If you say that the two really have feelings, that's nonsense.

But this did not prevent him from bringing up the old man and getting close to his third uncle whom he had never met, and strengthening the relationship between the two families. While the two were chatting.

Zhang Yongcheng also came back with a pen and paper, listened to his father Zhang Rongcheng's dictation, and wrote down the address and home phone number of He Daqing's third uncle in Hong Kong Island.

According to Zhang Rongcheng's meaning.

He Daqing's My third uncle, He Yongchang, and his family lived quite well in Hong Kong Island. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Because long before the Anti-Japanese War, He Yongchang's family had been dealing with foreigners in Hong Kong Island, doing foreign trade business, mainly exporting tea, silk and porcelain.

Later, the Japanese invaders landed in Daya Bay, Guangdong Province, and launched a war of aggression against South China, intending to invade the Pearl River Delta, Foshan and other places on a large scale.

He Yongchang's family immediately gave up their business and property, and went to Hong Kong Island to seek refuge with some wealthy businessmen in Foshan.

Among these wealthy businessmen was Zhang Rongcheng's family.

Later, seeing that the civil war had not yet ended, He Yongchang's family began to invest in Hong Kong Island.[]

Tea, silk, porcelain and other businesses, because there is no source of goods, they are definitely not going to be done.

But He Yongchang has been personally taught by Sun Maocai, the business genius son-in-law of the old He family since he was a child, so his vision is naturally not bad.

He saw that more and more people came to Hong Kong Island for refuge, but the houses in Hong Kong Island were far from enough, so he cleared the relationship, began to buy land, built houses, and rented them to wealthy businessmen and ordinary people who came to Hong Kong Island for refuge, and started a real estate business.

It has to be said.

He Yongchang has a very good vision.

With the real estate and house rental business, the He family quickly gained a foothold in Hong Kong Island, and emerged in Hong Kong Island, entering the sequence of Hong Kong Island's wealthy families.

This is also the reason why the He family was unwilling to return to Foshan after the Japanese surrendered.

Because they have already developed in Hong Kong Island, they look down on the little land and business in Foshan.

After all, if the He family returns to Foshan and re-operates the tea, porcelain and other businesses, they must start from scratch and contact the previous merchants and product channels.

The Ho family had been away from the mainland for seven or eight years, and the original merchants and product channels had long been cut off.

How difficult would it be to start from scratch?

Not to mention, at that time, only the Japanese surrendered, and the domestic war was not over. It was unknown what would happen after returning.

So, instead of doing this, it would be better to collect rent honestly in Hong Kong Island.

Zhang Rongcheng was also envious when he said this.

But envy is envy, Hong Kong Island real estate business is not something that everyone can do.

He Yongchang can do it because the Ho family originally had export business to Western powers, especially to England, and knew some high-level people in England, and also had the support of the Ho family in Chaoshan and Haojingao.

The Zhang family did not have such a relationship, so they could only watch the Ho family make a lot of money in the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island, and envy it.

In the end, as soon as the Japanese left, they hurriedly chose to return to China.

The reason is that the Zhang family's original business was in the fields and shops in Foshan, and in the combination of officials and businessmen.

In the local area, they are protected by officials and are involved in all kinds of business, but they are not very proficient in any of them. Although they make a lot of money, once they leave the local area, it is difficult to make money so comfortably.

Or even make no money at all.

This is the difference between local tyrants and local 070 merchants.

Tyrants and merchants are two completely different concepts.

He Daqing also got another piece of news from Zhang Rongcheng's narration.

That is, in addition to He Yongchang, the third uncle, the He family also has���The minority people have developed in Hong Kong Island and Macau, and they have developed quite well, which can help He Yongchang directly enter the real estate industry in Hong Kong Island.

This is undoubtedly good news for He Daqing.

Because the better the He clan members develop in Hong Kong Island, the more they can help him in the future.

Of course, He Daqing has never thought about getting much support from other branches of the He family. As long as he can use the power of the fox to make himself avoid the troubles of underworld gangs, black police, and foreigners when he develops in Hong Kong Island, it will be fine. If there is really fair competition in the business world, he is definitely not afraid. He is afraid of harassment from Hong Kong Island gangsters, black police, and foreigners.

Don't let the family property be scraped off by others before the restaurant or factory is opened, or even swallowed up by others with skin and bones.

This is the most terrifying.

Don't say that such a thing can't happen.

On the contrary.

Hong Kong Island in this era is very chaotic, with gangs rampant and black police everywhere, and the foreigners are worried that the mainland will retake Hong Kong Island, so they just make money without caring about anything.

The high-ranking white men, police officers, gangsters, etc., are in collusion with each other, making the entire Hong Kong Island a mess, constantly oppressing and exploiting the lower-class people, causing great harm to the citizens of Hong Kong Island.

Without a certain background, let alone opening a factory or a business, even if you go to the dock to carry a large bag, you need to be affiliated with a gang and pay protection fees to the gang. Do you think it is dark or not, and whether it is scary or not?

Of course, this kind of darkness is only for the lower-class citizens. For the real wealthy people, it is another matter.

Let alone the black police and gangs.

Even the Governor of Hong Kong Island, the Commissioner of Police, etc., are just like that, and they are nothing at all.

And this is the norm of capitalist society and the absolute embodiment of the power of capital.

Capital is even higher than politics!.
