I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Chapter 202 [I'll make sandwich biscuits! 】

At the beginning of October, "Oriental Daily" took the lead in grabbing the news of "the youngest justice of the peace" and praised its boss!

Worry about the world and worry about it! ——The population of Hong Kong Island has skyrocketed. To this day, there are still a large number of refugees who have no work, no income, and live in poverty.

It was Wu Guangyao, the boss of PG Zipper, who stepped forward again and insisted on recruiting 5,000 workers despite the dissuasion of the management.

With the sales volume of PG zippers, there is no need for so many workers!

Wu Guangyao warned the management: "Difficulties are temporary. At this time, the people of Hong Kong need to work together to tide over the difficulties. After the storm, there must be a rainbow!"

When Wu Guangyao saw this newspaper, he almost lowered his face under the table, how dare Shen Baoxing boast!

Of course, after being ashamed, Wu Guangyao also felt that Shen Baoxing's propaganda was correct. He was awarded the "Gentleman of Balance" by the Hong Kong government at a young age, so he naturally needed more public influence!

The original intention of running a newspaper was to achieve this purpose, otherwise Wu Guangyao would really look down on the profit!

But the only thing that made Wu Guangyao dissatisfied was that Shen Baoxing actually regarded his management as a villain in order to highlight his unrivaled figure.

My own management has never objected!

Chinese newspapers are generally full of praise. As for English newspapers, few Chinese will read them!

 …

Wu Guangyao's conferment ceremony was grandly held in the Governor's Mansion!

Many Chinese were invited to visit and experience, in order to strengthen the Hong Kong government's friendship and attention to the Chinese.

Status has always been earned by oneself, not by others.

In the early days of Hong Kong Island, although there were many Chinese, their status was low, and most of them were engaged in coolie labor.

In the eyes of the British, they naturally became the underdogs.

The head class of Lindsay's foreign company even said to the reporter of the British Daily in a contemptuous tone: "The native Chinese are like a group of talking horses!"

The Chinese at that time were not yet sensible, even if others insulted them, they dared not uphold justice!

What really made foreigners start to revise their views,

It was the wave of immigrants during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period!

After the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a large number of Taiping troops fled to Hong Kong Island, a British colony, for refuge. Among them were landlords, bureaucrats, scholar-bureaucrats, wealthy businessmen, etc., and most of them were well-educated.

They brought not only wealth but also culture to Hong Kong.

At this time, Chinese businessmen on Hong Kong Island began to develop.

Don't underestimate these Chinese businessmen, they have played an important role in activating Hong Kong Island's economy!

Until 1880, 90% of Hong Kong Island’s pumping (taxation) came from Chinese.

The British Hong Kong authorities held a restrained attitude towards the rise of Chinese businessmen;

Because they don't want the Hong Kong Island they rule to be a wild place;

But I don't want Chinese businessmen to replace British businessmen, and Hong Kong Island will become a Chinese Hong Kong Island!

Gu Huishan and others established the Chinese Association, and the Chinese barrister Wu Tingfang was elected as a member of the Legislative Council. In 1884, the Chinese were elected 7 justices of the peace at one time. The Chinese are gradually regaining the status of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island.

Wu Guangyao knew that by 1966, there were already as many foreign congressmen as there were Chinese congressmen!

The Chinese have never forgotten to fight for their own rights. This increase in soft power is the result of the hard work of the Chinese!

Wu Guangyao was really happy with this awarding ceremony, the only awkward thing was that he had to swear an oath to the Mi Ziqi!

Because many people watched, Wu Guangyao would not expose himself, and obeyed the rules honestly!

After the ceremony, the elderly Sir He Dong walked slowly in front of Wu Guangyao, and Wu Guangyao quickly supported He Dong.

Naturally, Wu Guangyao respects the seniors who have made contributions to the Chinese people.

"Well, a justice of the peace is not only an honor, but also a responsibility, especially to fight for the rights that the Chinese in Hong Kong Island deserve!"

Hearing this sentence, Wu Guangyao didn't care what the Governor of Hong Kong and the British officials next to him thought, and said without hesitation: "Of course, this is my responsibility, and I am duty-bound!"

After hearing this, Ge Lianghong and others didn't think it was wrong. Many organizations fighting for the rights of the Chinese were approved by the Hong Kong government and did not stop them.

For example, in 1900, the Hong Kong Chinese Merchants Bureau was established with the approval of the Hong Kong government to legally represent the largest group representing the interests of Chinese businessmen.

Of course, the leaders of these chambers of commerce and the Chinese in the political circle pursued the purpose of safeguarding the overall interests of the Chinese without touching the fundamental interests of the British Hong Kong authorities. It is advocated to protect oneself through negotiation and consultation, or by means of laws, and resolutely attack terrorist activities such as arson, poisoning, and riots.

Such a purpose is inevitably not understood by some Chinese, who say that these "high-ranking Chinese" are "traitors".

An unsigned justice of the peace lamented in the newspaper: "Why did we become 'traitors'? If we were traitors, the Qing court would be the biggest traitor. The Qing army, which claims to be a million elite soldiers, could not defeat the British army. Could it be that we Can these unarmed Chinese come to expel the British and barbarians? Arson, riots, poisoning and assassination will not help, but will make all residents of Hong Kong Island panic, and the life of Hong Kong Island residents will be difficult to maintain!"

For these seniors, Wu Guangyao naturally admired them!

It's hard to be a man in the middle, but someone must do these things;

Otherwise, the status of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island will be even lower, and they will not be able to make their own voices!

If Wu Guangyao is allowed to make the choice, strikes and market strikes should be stopped in moderation;

Although it can hit the interests of British businessmen, the basic life of residents in Hong Kong will also be affected.

The Hong Kong government can let you go on strike, which is already a compromise. In the end, you have to go back to the negotiating table, and the rights you are fighting for can only be accepted by both parties!

Advocate negotiation to solve the problem - this is the journalism education Wu Guangyao received in his previous life, and he did not advocate it on his own!

As a justice of the peace, Wu Guangyao naturally had to lead by example. Wherever he stood, he needed to look at problems from what angle!

After the ceremony, there was naturally a reception banquet at the Governor's Mansion. During the banquet, Wu Guangyao's sharpness once overwhelmed Governor Ge Lianghong. I don't know what these British people are thinking!

Young and promising, surrounded by beautiful women, many people not only lamented Wu Guangyao's career, but also lamented Lin Yueru's beauty!

Lin Yueru is not a traditional woman, she has studied abroad, can speak English, and dresses fashionably;

The most important thing is that he is favored by Wu Guangyao. So far, I have never heard that Wu Guangyao has the idea of ​​taking a concubine!

Of course, there are some gossip news!

Lin Yueru is very generous, chatting happily with the governor's wife and the wives of some high-ranking British officials!

When your status reaches a certain level, how can others look down on you just because you are Chinese!

With Wu Guangyao's net worth and appearance, how could the noble ladies present have no illusions!

Colonial officials sound nice, but they are far from being able to break into London's high society!

But the young man in front of him is different. According to this form, he will become a world-class businessman sooner or later, and become a guest of the leaders of various countries!

Lin Yueru, as the president of Valentino's luxury women's clothing, naturally wants to take this opportunity to vigorously promote Valentino.

"Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of my dress?" Lin Yueru had noticed these ladies a long time ago, and she was envious of her own dress, so she would naturally seize the opportunity and advertise.

Everyone nodded in praise and asked where the dress could be bought.

Before World War II, there was a saying of "men's military uniform and women's work uniform". Men's and women's clothing was monotonous and uniform, with no sense of fashion!

In 1947, Dior launched a series of fashion named after "Corolla" in Paris. This design can be said to have shocked the whole world! Almost all the media in the world use it as the front page headline. Some people even exclaimed: Yes, "New Look" really ended the Second World War, and brought beauty and tranquility back to the hearts of women who were hit hard by the war.

And Lin Yueru's hourglass blue floral dress with a corset at the waist can be said to be the pinnacle of European and American fashion in the 1950s.

There are new colours, fresh silhouettes and different style options;

For the next decade, this icon was a hit with girls for its chic retro style and playful looks.

"The design and concept of this dress was created by European and American designers of our Valentino brand, and we are going to promote it to the world. If you like it, welcome to Valentino to customize... "Lin Yueru spared no effort to promote her luxury clothing brand, and handed out famous brands to these ladies.

In fact, Lin Yueru did not say that this design concept was first proposed by Wu Guangyao;

Of course, Wu Guangyao just mentioned a vague concept to the designer, and the designer completed the next part.

When Wu Guangyao proposed this concept, European and American designers were full of admiration for Wu Guangyao!

Wu Guangyao was talking with the Governor of Hong Kong, He Dong and others while looking at Lin Yueru, worried that she would not be able to handle it.

But depending on the situation, Wu Guangyao obviously underestimated Lin Yueru!

After the dinner was over, Wu Guangyao asked Lin Yueru, "Have you gained anything?"

What Wu Guangyao meant was naturally about the Valentino brand!

"Of course, those ladies seem to be going to the store to make a custom order tomorrow. Guangyao, what I'm most worried about is that we designed this dress first, but the big manufacturers in Europe and the United States will copy it and claim that they designed it themselves. What do you say? What should I do?"

Wu Guangyao thought for a moment, it is difficult to apply for a patent on clothing styles, and the cost is too high, obviously it is not a good way!

"Then use the media, including European and American media, to release our clothing styles first. Although those big manufacturers can produce them, we have at least gained a reputation and increased brand awareness! Isn't this what we want? ?”

"Well, my husband is too smart!"

"I want to reward..."
