Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 46 Hutchison’s Dragon and Tiger Brothers

"explain!"

He Dingxian didn't squint his eyes and spoke simply.

"I want a gun."

"There's no way I'm going to ask you to set up a table and drink for me, and to help me with my money and effort. That kind of Hao makes people look down on."

"The shame I suffered tonight will be returned to them tonight." Wu Shihao pointed to the shoe print on his face and said: "I said, I can die, but I can never be stepped on!"

A Jianghu person only has one breath to live in his life.

"good!"

He Dingxian heard the answer as expected, and agreed wholeheartedly: "If he steps on you, you kill his whole family, and then his younger brother kills the whole family. It's fair."

"This is the Jianghu people."

Wu Shihao was noncommittal.

"But not the boss."

He Dingxian said.

Wu Shihao clenched his fists: "If the boss wants me to endure it, I'm sorry, but I can't endure it. My younger brother is still lying in the hospital, and I don't know whether he is alive or dead. I wish I could endure it."

"I feel guilty!"

He Dingxian nodded: "I can give you the gun. In addition, I will prepare a boat and arrange for you to go to sea after finishing the work."

"Don't be afraid that there will be no way out if you leave Hong Kong Island. The Ma brothers can open up the flour line in Thailand and become the first big banker in Hong Kong."

"You can find a way out abroad."

The Ma brothers' path to fortune is very legendary. They first worked as coolies like ordinary people at the dock, and then by chance, they met "Wang Laoji", the leading uncle of "He Shenghe" of Hutchison Hall, as the deed master.

Later, he joined the Hutchison Trade Co., Ltd. and helped manage the flower stall in Central. The two brothers managed the flower stall better and better, and gradually gained real power in the gang.

One person wears a red stick, and the other wears a white paper fan. They are known as the dragon and tiger brothers of Hutchison. They came to prominence in the mid-1940s and were once regarded as the successor of Wong Lo Kat and the next Hutchison Marshal.

Unfortunately, the power struggle in Hutchison Hall was fierce. After Wang Laoji retired, He Anle took over the real power and became the "marshal of the road" of Hutchison Hall.

Huang Laorun, He Anle's senior, was appointed as the "Second Marshal". The Ma brothers did not even make a fortune, and even lost the reputation of He Anle to He Anle's family.

Hutchison was a Jianghu alliance proposed by Hongqi's fifth brother "Hei Guren" at the turn of the 20th century. Dozens of Hongmen brands, large and small, pursued the purpose of "peace is the most important" and started to work under Hei Guren. Under the call of the emperor, they made an alliance by blood and became the same sect, and added the word "和" in front of the font size.

Heshenghe, Hehetu, Heanle, Heliansheng and other brands were born one after another...

Later, many tangkou were split up and new font sizes were established. If you look carefully at the numbers and prefixes, it is the font size with the most flags on Hong Kong Island. Among them are Chaoshan Gang, Dongguan Gang, Wuyi Gang...

You can't tell who the owner of the restaurant is by just looking at the characters "and".

However, there is rarely a big fight between the title and the title. If there is any conflict, just like what Hei Guren called for, sit down and talk about it, and the people in the hall will comment.

Just because the major Hutchison brands are active in Hong Kong Island, and because the Teochew gang currently dominates Hong Kong Island, the name of Hutchison Hall has also been under the banner of Teochew brands in the past ten years.

Therefore, Hezi Zongtang is elected by public based on its reputation, strength, and background. In the absence of talents, the positions of "Main Road Marshal" and "Second Road Marshal" will remain vacant.

In the process of fighting for power, the Ma brothers were also used as leverage, and they even lost their position as co-operators with Sheng. There are many ruthless people in the world!

The reason why the Ma brothers became famous was their perseverance. After losing their positions as marshals and officials, the two brothers smuggled to Thailand to open up the flour line.

They became the first farmer to sell flour in Hong Kong, and later became two of the famous "Four Big Dealers" in Hong Kong. The two brothers occupied two seats in a row. The eldest brother Ma Xiru was known as the "White Horse", and the younger brother Ma Xizhen was known as the "Golden Horse". Later generations called it "White Pink Horse".

The two of them can be said to be old enemies with the Wu brothers. After all, they all want each other dead, but in terms of ability, Wu Shihao is one step behind.

Because Ma Xizhen later thought of clearing her name and developing business, the "Oriental Daily News", which will be famous in Hong Kong Island in the future, was founded by the Ma brothers.

At their peak, the two were known as the "underground commanders" of Hong Kong Island.

However, Wu Shihao had no idea of ​​​​going into business. He went all the way to the dark side and had no other business development except purchasing real estate.

Of course, if you dare to touch something you shouldn't touch, the end is destined to be the same.

Convicted, sentenced, run away.

You can always be informed of ICAC's actions, you can be released on bail after being arrested, and then you can jump bail and abscond, or you can be pardoned by the Governor after being arrested...

Continue to live the life of a rich man, pass on a large amount of property to future generations, and let the accumulation of several generations later defeat others!

He Dingxian originally didn't want to send Wu Shihao away. He thought it would be more useful to keep Wu Shihao by his side to train him, but what he admired most about Ahao was his ambition.

A person who is ambitious and wants to stand out in the world can stop him once but cannot stop him the second time. It is better to help him.

To fulfill the other party is to fulfill oneself.

Now, at least Wu Shihao will accept a huge favor from him, but if he stops him too much, he might hate him!

Every gain and every loss is determined.

What's more, there is indeed a place to use Wu Shihao, but it is not to kill the Ma brothers, but to kill another person.

Even if a person in a superior position cannot change a person's personality, he or she has the opportunity to change a person's future.

At this time, Wu Shihao's eyes were full of gratitude, and he thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, boss. No matter whether I am developed or not in a foreign country in the future, as long as the boss says a word, I will be cut into a mountain of fire, but if I refuse, I will die under ten thousand swords!"

"Haha, I'm serious." He Dingxian still looked polite and polite. He didn't believe in others' repayments in the future. If you have anything to repay, do it now!

"I'll ask Ah Zai to take you to get the gun when you go out later. I'll let someone else arrange the boat. Remember to run to the typhoon shelter pier when you're done."

"Look for a ship flying the Fujian flag."

The Ma brothers were also members of the Teochew Gang, so there was a certain risk in using the Teochew Gang's boats. Although Hutchison didn't have many boats in Kowloon, Mr Teo might come forward, so it would be safer to use a boat with the Fujian flag.

"Also, this is a friend of mine who is in the fruit business in Singapore. Remember to call him when the ship arrives in Singapore." He Dingxian opened the drawer, found a notebook, copied down a series of phone numbers in the notebook, and tore off a page. Pass it to Wu Shihao in front of him.

Wu Shihao took the phone number with a solemn expression. He was very grateful to his friend who sold fruit. It was good to have a place to stay when he was away from home.

How can I criticize him for selling anything?

"Let's go."

He Dingxian waved his hand and said.

He hated people smoking cigarettes and flour, and hated everything about the Golden Triangle, including having their waists cut off!

He is also a person who has received higher education from the mainland and has a basic sense of right and wrong. Even if he wants to be sent abroad, he will not send him to Thailand to become one of the "Four Major Bankers".

Besides, you have to have some conscience as a person, and you will be rewarded for taking advantage of him and leading him on a good path.

I sent it back to Singapore to sell fruit.

Hutchison's influence can extend to Nanyang, but it does not mean that the Ma brothers can reach Nanyang... It is not 100% safe there, but the local economy is good and there are opportunities to show off their talents.

There is no place in the world that is 100% safe. Being able to go to Nanyang is already the best arrangement.

As for the so-called friend, he is a fellow villager who runs a fruit farm business. He used to live in a housing estate in Shek Kip Mei. He came to Shek Kip Mei once two years ago to pick up his wife and children. It was said that the business was doing well, so he left the bean for his father. A phone number has always been written in the family phone book.
