Hong Kong Island Old Events

Ho Ting-hsien came to Yip's Wing Chun Boxing Gym on Lee Tat Street in Kowloon District and saw Ip Man, who was wearing a long gown, with a shaved head and a gentle manner.

He raised his hands towards Ye Wen and said, "Master Ye."

"He Tanmu." Ye Wen led several disciples forward and saluted with clasped fists, not daring to neglect at all.

"Master Ye, I'm sorry for coming here. In fact, I have admired the famous Wing Chun boxing for a long time and want to see the martial arts skills." He Dingxian sat down at the tea seat in the hall of the boxing gym and took the tea cup politely. Yan Xiong and Meng Yuan Tatsuze stood behind him.

Hearing this, Ye Wen smiled and humbly said: "It's just a small boxing style in the south. It's okay to cultivate your character, but you don't dare to dominate in terms of martial arts."

"Master Ye is quite famous. He is highly praised by Mr. Liang, the chairman of the hotel union. It is said that there are also police officers in Kowloon who learn boxing from you."

"I also came here because of the reputation." He Dingxian smiled and said, and his behavior was very polite. Ye Wen shook his head and smiled: "It's just to keep fit."

"However, if Chief He wants to see it, I can let the disciples perform." He winked, and the two disciples behind him, "Ye Buqing" and "Xu Shangtian", each took a step forward, bowed their hands, and then walked silently to the hall. Go down to the practice ground.

"Ye Buqing" was very skilled and performed a set of "Little Thoughts", while "Xu Shangtian" performed a set of "Wooden Dummy" with fierce punches.

The two of them had beautiful movements and sharp hands and feet. After finishing their work, they went to the rack to get weapons. One of them held two swords and danced the "Eight-Cut Sword" technique, and the other held a long stick and performed the "Six-and-a-half Stick".

The inheritance of Wing Chun from Su Sanniang to Huang Baohua and Liang Erdi, and from Liang Zan and Chen Wahshun to Ip Man is clear and needs no elaboration.

Next, there are outstanding disciples such as "Bruce Lee", who can make a living in Hong Kong Island. After reading it, He Dingxian probably knows why Wing Chun is famous. Firstly, it is the support of the big boss of the hotel guild behind it, and secondly, it is because of the disciples When doing publicity, the third thing is to perform beautifully...

Can I fight?

He Dingxian straightened his back and was bitten by the gun bag on his waist, smiling without saying a word.

In addition, "Wing Chun" is a southern boxing, and Ip Man is from Foshan. He has a natural popularity advantage in Hong Kong Island and is more popular than the famous "Wu Style Tai Chi". The martial arts also has to pay attention to the sophistication of people.

He Dingxian asked Master Ye if he wanted to fight. Ye Wen's thin eyebrows twitched and he declined cautiously: "I have an old disease and my disciples are not good at it, so I will no longer get involved in the world to gain fame." ”

"Just have a hot meal in Kowloon."

He Dingxian thought that he had to form a good relationship with "Bruce Lee" to avoid opening a film company in the future, so he stopped entangled and said: "Master Yip has no intention of making Wing Chun famous, so he is being arrogant. In the future, it will be Kowloon." If you encounter any trouble, you can go to Sergeant Chen at the Yau Ma Tei Police Station."

"Chief Inspector Chen is the master to whom I kowtow and serve tea, and Inspector Zeng is also my close senior."

Ye Wen's stern face suddenly relaxed, and he clasped his fists cheerfully and said: "Thank you, Chief He, for your friendship. If Chief He wants to set up the arena and lacks manpower, Ah Tian."

Xu Shangtian took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Master!"

"You go have a fight with Chief He."

Ye Wen said.

He Dingxian's expression was stunned, he smiled and couldn't refuse, and nodded immediately: "Okay, I will send someone to deliver the message if there is anything."

Ye Wen is indeed a person who understands people and the world.

Immediately, he left the martial arts gym with Ye Wen and his disciples seeing him off. He did not go to the Wu brothers from the "Jianquan Tai Chi Club" after that, because the Wu brothers had completely lost their roots and would not be able to compete in boxing at home and abroad in the future. The business of the museum is large, but in terms of reputation and background, it is not as good as Ip Man.

He needs to give Ip Man three points but is too lazy to talk to the Wu brothers. He mainly sees the nature of Ip Man, the Wu brothers and other masters of the world.

He simply asked Zou Huaiwen to take two newspaper reporters to Wu Style Tai Chi for interviews.

When the two brothers Wu Gongyi and Wu Gongzao received the invitation, they were fully prepared for the arrival of reporters. It was an eye-opener to God that they were able to be interviewed by a Hong Kong newspaper.

"Oriental Daily" is said to have good sales and is a well-established newspaper. It would be great if it could recruit more students!

As soon as Zou Huaiwen and others entered the door, they saw more than 30 disciples in the Jianquan Tai Chi Club. They were dressed in white training uniforms, uniform and skillful in their movements. They were doing Tai Chi. At a glance, they looked quite imposing, and they could tell that they were Wu style Tai Chi. The boxing club is well run.

Wu Gongzao and Wu Gongyi quietly handed red envelopes to the three of them. Zou Huaiwen stuffed the red envelopes into his arms with a smile on his lips and accepted them happily. Wu Gongzao then went to teach in a serious manner, and Wu Gongyi was interviewed in Tangzhong as the eldest brother...

"Mr. Wu, Wu Style Tai Chi is a well-known boxing style in China, and our newspaper is doing a column interview with the Hong Kong Martial Arts Club. We have interviewed many martial arts clubs in Wu Style Tai Chi, including Wing Chun and White Crane Boxing. ." Zou Huaiwen sat on a chair and talked eloquently, showing a condescending scholarly attitude.

"Um."

Wu Gongyi was wearing a training uniform, holding an air of dignity, with a cheerful face and full of confidence.

Zou Huaiwen suddenly said: "The day before yesterday, when we went to the Wing Chun Club for an interview, a Wing Chun practitioner claimed to be the best in Hong Kong Island in terms of actual combat martial arts. What does Mr. Wu think of this?"

The fire arch is too rough.

Wu Gongyi's expression was stunned, and he caught the hint in Zou Huaiwen's eyes. He suddenly felt that it was a good opportunity, and said quickly: "Each sect and each type of boxing has its strengths, but there is no one who is best in literature, the second in martial arts, and the first in martial arts." It’s not just words.”

Wu Gongyi wanted to do something to make Tai Chi famous, so naturally he was very cooperative with Zou Huaiwen's news. He was not a fool. How could he get into the trap when there was no profit?

Zou Huaiwen nodded: "Tai Chi has always been well-known as a health-preserving boxing. Is there anything worthy of praise in terms of martial arts?"

Wu Gongyi nodded slightly: "Any form of boxing includes martial arts, and the actual performance depends on the individual's performance. There are many factors that influence it. Tai Chi's emphasis on moving a thousand pounds with four ounces is itself a martial arts concept. To put it simply, it is leveraging force. Fight hard and use defense as offense.”

Zou Huaiwen nodded again: "If Mr. Wu has the opportunity, are you willing to accept the challenge of a fellow martial artist?"

Wu Gongyi smiled calmly and said: "If someone comes to challenge me, no matter who it is, I will accept the challenge, because this is the foundation for the survival of a martial arts gym."

"Okay!" Zou Huaiwen nodded with satisfaction, and the editor beside him had already written: "Mr. Wu agrees to accept the challenge of all Chinese and Western martial arts masters."

The next day, a report about the Wu Family Tai Chi Club's advocacy of martial arts and its willingness to accept all challenges appeared on the front page of the Oriental Daily. The reason why the front page is important is that it will be placed on the front of the newspaper so that readers can read it in one glance. to pick.

"Within a week, more than 30 newspapers including Sing Tao Daily, Chinese Voice, Hong Kong Commercial Daily, Wen Wei Po and Ta Kung Pao published news about the boxing match. Wing Chun Xu Shangtian, White Crane Boxing Chen Kefu , Du Sheng’s protégé Jiang Zhaohua all signed up for the fight, big boss, the boxing match was very successful.” In Wan Chai District, inside the newspaper office, Zou Huaiwen was wearing a suit and said excitedly: “According to rough statistics, there are at least five More than 10,000 copies of relevant newspapers were sold, and at least hundreds of thousands of citizens knew the relevant news."

"This boxing match has become the biggest news in Hong Kong Island. Even the South China Morning Post published it in English."

He Dingxian found that the news was more popular than imagined, and suddenly realized something: "Hong Kong Island has not had public entertainment news for a long time after the war."

"Once something happens, citizens will inevitably follow and discuss it. It can be regarded as a hero created by the times."

Zou Huaiwen said matter-of-factly: "Citizens are tired of reading war news in newspapers. Of course they are happy to read entertainment news."

"This time Wu Gongyi, Chen Kefu, Ip Man and others can also be considered as free rides. Currently, the whole Hong Kong is looking forward to who Wu Gongyi will accept the challenge."

"Is it Wing Chun, White Crane Fist, Hong Fist, Xing Yi, Ba Gua Zhang?"

He Dingxian laughed out loud: "Haha, Mr. Wu was blocked and had to fight, but we calculated against him. We can't let others suffer in vain. Later, Lard Boy will send 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and you can hand it over to Mr. Wu asked him to do it well, and also give him a gift."

Zou Huaiwen saw the boss take out a bullet and put it on the table. He immediately understood and put it in his pocket: "I understand."

He doesn't have any prejudice against the big boss's approach. A businessman's nature is to put interests first. What's more, the better "Oriental Daily" sells, the higher his net worth as a shareholder will be. At the same time, he also shows the leadership ability of the editor-in-chief.

All kinds of "blind reports" and "fake news" are common within newspaper companies. They will do anything to create a hot spot. As long as they can create a hot spot, it is a successful report. As the person in charge of a small newspaper, starting a business There will be almost no moral burden initially.

In one week, the sales volume of "Oriental Daily" has exceeded 2,000 copies and is continuing to increase...

At the same time, in the office of Xinsen Paper Co., Ltd. in Tsim Sha Tsui East, Kowloon, the big boss "Kwun Bingson" had more than a dozen newspapers in front of him, each of which contained reports about boxing matches.

"call."

Guan Bingsen sat on the leather sofa, clasping the cigarette in his hand, taking a deep breath and exhaling the thick smoke: "Damn it, Hua Yaoxian is going to kill everyone."

"Big boss, what do you say?" Qing Touzai, the person in charge of the paper factory, wearing a short shirt, stood beside the office with a serious expression.

Guan Bingsen flicked the ashes of his cigarette and saw through Hua Yaoxian's plan at a glance: "Let's make a newspaper!"

"To make a good newspaper, on the one hand, sell paper to your own paper mill, on the other hand, use your status as a member of the newspaper industry to sell white newspapers."

"How many people in Hong Kong run both newspaper offices and white newspapers? He is the only one!"

Qing Touzai looked surprised: "So awesome?"

"How about we run a newspaper too!"

Guan Bingsen couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hi! Did the newspaper just do it? If I can do it, I need to remind you!" He rolled his eyes and said with a mixture of hatred and praise: " He is really a talented person who can handle both imported raw materials and newspapers. Recently, I heard from colleagues that the editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily, Zou Huaiwen, has applied to join the Newspaper Association. In the future, he will regulate it in the drama. We sell white newspapers. No need to mess around anymore.”

Kwan Ping-sum is the honorary president of Hong Kong Island Paper and the largest factory owner in the white newspaper industry. He was the first person to build a paper factory in Kowloon.

The value of the land built in Kowloon District alone has increased several times and is worth millions.

He has a direct competitive relationship with Oriental Paper. He has been paying attention to relevant developments since the paper mill was established. He thought he was a small player who took advantage of the situation and got some soup.

Unexpectedly, Oriental Paper relied on industrial linkage to expand rapidly, seize the market unscrupulously, and seemed to be catching up from behind.

As the person in charge of the paper factory and the foreman in the factory, Qing Touzai immediately said in a solemn voice: "Big boss, what do you think?"

"I want to buy shares in "Oriental Daily"" Guan Bingsen pondered for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table and said: "It's cool for young people to have the ability to become bigger and stronger, but they have to give their seniors a chair, otherwise who is willing to abdicate in favor of someone better?" ?”

"Send someone to Wan Chai Police Station to deliver a message, saying that I want to treat Hua Yaoxian to a meal and find a better restaurant in Wan Chai District."

Qingtouzi nodded happily: "I understand, boss."

Guan Bingsen took a sip of his cigarette, thinking of merging operations to become bigger and stronger. If possible, no one wanted to engage in a price war.

Of course, despite the fact that he still holds the top spot in the newspaper industry, I'm really not sure whether Hua Yaoxian can save his face.

The next day, at noon, He Dingxian wore a suit and tie, and went to the Chunyuan Street Restaurant for an appointment with two of his subordinates. After all, it was an invitation from the honorary president of the industry. Even if a subordinate handed the message, he still had to come. Come.

He could more or less guess Guan Bingsen's thoughts in his heart. When he came to the second floor of the restaurant and saw the master standing up, he quickly put his hands in his hands and said with a smile: "President Guan, I have been looking up to you for a long time."

"Axian, come!" Guan Bingsen, a tall and thick man, straightened his hair and had a Jianghu aura about him, stepped forward boldly and took him to his seat.

He Dingxian knew that Guan Bingsen was a businessman born in the society. He first worked in a paper factory in Nanyang, and later went to Hong Kong Island to set up a factory. He was a Hutchison trader, but his ancestral home was Dongguan. He worked for Tung Yi Tang in He was one of the behind-the-scenes bosses of Tung Yui Tong, who contributed his efforts and money to the development of Kowloon. His life was full of wanderings, twists and turns, he was born reckless and was naturally ruthless in his work.

The two exchanged pleasantries and had a good meal. He Dingxian took the initiative to talk about the topic and said: "President Guan, I will be back to the mission office in a while. If you have anything to say, you might as well speak up in person."

Guan Bingsen put down the wine glass he had just raised and said with a smile: "Axian is indeed a young man, he speaks quickly! Okay! I don't like to talk in circles like those old bones. I will speak out if I have something to say. Recently, the newspaper The industry is becoming active again, and we will follow your example and go to Southeast Asia to import raw materials, but I don’t have the ability to run a newspaper. Seeing that your newspaper is running so well, I want to get involved."

"Don't worry, I will never let you suffer in terms of price. I am willing to buy 1% of the equity for 6,000 yuan, a total of 30%, for a price of 180,000 Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, I will buy 100% of Xinsen Paper I will sell you 30/30 of the shares for a total price of 150,000. How about exchanging shareholdings?"

Some readers complained that the first two chapters were a bit weak. Junzai thought about it. First, few people knew about this era, so he had to fill in the information for introduction. Otherwise, many readers would not understand and lack a sense of immersion. The author still had to consider it. Second, It has been updated a lot, so maybe some places are not compact enough.

Junzai will try his best to avoid similar situations from happening, and integrate what needs to be explained into the plot, so that readers can see more progress as much as possible. Fist in arms!

I would like to recommend a new author's book "The Prince of the Chaebol Family". Readers who are interested in the title can give it a try.
