Chapter 2752 People from Two Worlds
Hong Kong, the Walled City.
The morning sun illuminated the hazy houses, bringing a touch of warmth and gradually dispelling the chill of the night.
The aroma of food wafted from the surrounding houses, and the sounds of children being called to get up and eat could be heard from time to time.
The sound of a ship's horn came from afar, announcing that a busy day was about to begin.
Li San tightened his clothes; the chill of the bay in the early morning made even this man, accustomed to life in the north, shiver.
He stepped down from the rooftop, carefully holding a satellite phone in both hands.
This is a share held by the foreign trade company. To make it easier to contact them, I sent them one.
This is now unique in Hong Kong.
There wasn't even anyone on Taiping Mountain!
However, this thing is useful, but it's a bit heavy to hold.
And the noise is so loud that you have to find a quiet place to whisper if you want to.
Therefore, the rooftop became the best place for Li San to make a phone call.
Upon entering the house, his wife, Gu Qingqing, was preparing breakfast, while their son, Li Aiguo, was still asleep in the small bed beside them.
"Did Aunt Rong make the call?"
Gu Qingqing set out the food and casually asked.
Li San put the satellite phone back into the box and locked it from the outside. He then glanced at his son and said with a smile, "Yes, Aunt Rong was worried about us here and gave us a lot of instructions."
Gu Qingqing set down the bowls and chopsticks, sat down to the side, and rested her chin on her hand. "Speaking of which, we didn't go back this year. How about we go back for Chinese New Year next year? Qiuzai will be all grown up by then."
Li San was eating breakfast when he heard his wife say this, and he immediately nodded, "Okay, let's call Xiao Qi and Ali and go back together."
Gu Qingqing's eyes crinkled into crescent moons with laughter, but Li San had much more on his mind.
Does my return this time count as a triumphant homecoming?
"By the way, Aunt Rong said that a group of people from China will be coming to the factory tomorrow to guide the work, and that we should be prepared."
"We should have arrived in Yuefu by now. The application is being processed!"
Li San got down to business, "I'm busy with Mr. Huo's factory construction here. Tell Dad to keep an eye on Qiu Zai, and you can bring some people to entertain him."
"Aunt Rong said that the people who came this time are all elites from the Ninth Division, so we can't be negligent!"
Gu Qingqing nodded quickly upon hearing this.
They were quite familiar with the nine departments of Beijing.
From the earliest rice cookers and pressure cookers, to the disinfectant and oral liquids that changed their lives, and now the highly sought-after health products…
It was thanks to these medicines that they were able to open pharmacies all over Hong Kong.
In fact, there is an unwritten rule in Hong Kong.
No matter what you do—gangster, thug, or bully…
Anyone who wants to make a living in Hong Kong must not harm the local pharmacies.
Offending one pharmacy is equivalent to offending the entire chain.
The consequences are self-evident.
Of course, these pharmacies are not pushovers either; it's impossible to remain untainted in such a place.
And so the Flying Dragon Gang came into being.
Moreover, the Flying Dragon Gang is no ordinary gang.
Headquartered in the city walled city, backed by a giant, it has an inherent advantage.
Moreover, they're not your average gang; their management system is even more sophisticated than that of royal elites.
Even the British troops stationed there might not have this kind of imposing presence.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg of what the nine parts have revealed.
Just like satellite phones, who would have thought such a thing would exist?
And that's how the Nine Departments came about.
In everyday conversations, many people are curious about the Nine Parts.
Thus, snippets of information and radio broadcasts became the source of local people's imaginations.
Some Hong Kong locals even regard the Nine Departments as a special department, similar to an organization of imperial guards.
But in reality, they all knew it.
The time it took for the Ninth Department to be established was not as long as the time it took for their pharmacy to be established.
But the power of the Nine Departments is beyond their comprehension.
After the couple finished their meal, Li San kissed his son, then said goodbye to Gu Qingqing and rode his motorcycle away from the village.
After leaving the fortified village, Li San arrived at the foot of Lion Mountain, which was not far away.
The motorcycle kicked up a cloud of dust on the road before quickly arriving at a factory.
Looking at the sign hanging at the factory gate, "Huo's New Era Manufacturing Factory," Li San nodded in satisfaction.
This name sounds exciting.
A new era, a new era for Hong Kong.
"Sounds good!"
Muttering to himself, Li San parked the car at the door before walking inside.
Before we even entered the factory, Ali came over with two security guards.
"Third Brother!"
"Third Brother!"
Everyone rushed forward to greet Li San, who nodded and then looked at Ali, asking, "How have you been lately?"
"Is anyone coming to cause trouble?"
Ali chuckled, "Last night, a few drunk guys came to collect protection money. I had them thrown into the water and left to soak for half the night. They sobered up this morning and ran away!"
"I doubt anyone will dare to come any further."
As he spoke, he patted his bulging waist.
Li San nodded; collecting protection money was commonplace in those days.
Spending money to avoid disaster is the norm here.
Of course, it's no big deal for them.
The Flying Dragon Gang is no pushover.
"Have all the workers been recruited?"
Li San walked into the factory, and Li Ge nodded, "Xiao Qi is in charge of manpower, and Mr. Huo's secretary Wang is also there."
Li San nodded.
Mr. Huo is such a busy person that he can't possibly be stuck at the construction site every day, and he's also aware of the situation this time.
It's just an experiment. If it works, more people will naturally follow this path, which will be a great help to the domestic economy.
As for the game consoles the factory was making, he was only curious about what they would look like, and had no other thoughts about them.
We will resolutely complete the tasks assigned to us from above.
That was his purpose in coming to Hong Kong.
Upon arriving at the factory, Xiao Qi was seen discussing something with a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. When Li San came over, Xiao Qi hurried over.
"Third Brother!"
Xiaoqi walked up to them, her expression not looking too good.
Li San frowned. "What's wrong? Haven't you found everyone?"
Xiaoqi shook her head, then said indignantly, "As soon as the people here hear that they're working for that side, they act all high and mighty and say some nasty things."
Li San frowned, then relaxed.
Having lived here for over two years, I naturally understand the situation here.
Some people cherish their country and home like precious gems, while others discard it like worn-out shoes, even considering themselves British.
Little did they know that in the eyes of the British, they were merely residents of the colonial city of Hong Kong, nominally British citizens, but in reality, a group of pitiful people without statehood. When Li San first arrived, he had witnessed these people's sycophancy and their self-righteous sense of superiority.
I got over it later.
They're nothing but a bunch of clowns.
The Earth is so big, and the population is so large, what kind of waves can this small group of people stir up?
At worst, we can relocate the people here, moving hundreds of thousands of people from impoverished areas in China. This place will still be Hong Kong.
Li San waved his hand dismissively, "So, what about now? Is everyone here?"
Xiao Qi nodded.
"Secretary Wang opened the factory using Mr. Huo's name, and now we have almost enough staff. He asked us when we can start."
As they were talking, Secretary Wang came up to them with a kind smile.
Li San stepped forward and said gratefully, "Secretary Wang, thank you so much for your help."
"How could I dare? This is what I should do."
"It's what we should do."
Secretary Wang lowered his body and adopted a humble posture.
The higher one's position, the more secrets one knows.
Unlike those short mules, whose vision is limited to a single point in their entire lives.
That's why he understood the power behind the middle-aged man in front of him.
To be honest, he thinks it's possible that Hong Kong could be taken back right now.
Don't think that Britain is strong now; they're not to be trifled with either.
Especially in the last two years, they've been like they're on steroids, sending planes and missiles one after another, to the point that even the United States doesn't dare send planes in.
Not to mention Britain, which was on the decline.
Moreover, by being by his side, he learned quite a bit about his husband's private life.
It is said that Britain is easing tensions with the other side.
It is said that the British were envious of the Portuguese income in the Gulf region.
It is said that even France has begun to show signs of dissatisfaction, so how can Britain, which started with capital, possibly maintain its position?
When we were setting up the factory, someone from above told us to go ahead and do it without worry.
The reason for passing on the message is because they've realized the other side is becoming increasingly powerful.
In addition, they were still fighting against Annam, so they were afraid.
In addition, I was also looking to see if I could make a quick buck.
Thinking of this, Secretary Wang felt a pang of sadness.
With such a great opportunity, why did they only set up such a small factory over there?
That's right, in his eyes, this 300-person factory for game consoles was just a small factory.
If we were to actually build a factory, we'd need at least a thousand people.
Unfortunately, he was just a secretary.
I can't and dare not interfere with other matters.
While Secretary Wang was thinking outside the box, Li San had already learned about the factory's situation.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Now that all the equipment has arrived, let's check it out first."
"Experts will come tomorrow to provide production guidance, and then we'll officially start production!"
After Li San finished speaking, Secretary Wang immediately nodded, "The master is out discussing business, and he has authorized me to handle matters here."
"Okay, let's go together then!"
After the group toured the factory and confirmed that there were no problems, Li San left. He still needed to arrange the other party's itinerary, and this matter could not be taken lightly.
Meanwhile, at the Yuefu Guesthouse, a group of men and women were having an ideological education class.
"Comrades, this trip to Hong Kong represents not only ourselves, but also the Ninth Department..."
Guo Liang, the team leader, addressed the group solemnly.
Among those present were researchers from the game console research institute, and the leader of the team was Little Fatty.
The remaining group consisted of employees from the Tianjin Electronics Factory, led by a workshop foreman.
Although there were not many people, they were the elite troops sent out by the nine departments.
Moreover, these people were selected through multiple rounds of screening, so their backgrounds are absolutely legitimate.
In addition, the Ninth Security Department also sent a team of people to accompany them.
Upon arriving in Yuefu, Han Xuanfeng dispatched another platoon for protection and arranged for local hospitality.
Everyone nodded immediately upon hearing Guo Liang's words.
"Let me first talk about the rules!"
Guo Liang's expression was serious, and everyone sat up straight.
"During this trip to Hong Kong, you must not have any conflicts, arguments, physical altercations, insults, or unfriendly behavior with others."
"No matter what you do, always keep at least two people on the same side and never act alone."
"Third, if you encounter any difficulties, find the security officer!"
At this point, Guo Liang glanced at the security officers attending the meeting, his gaze sweeping over the weapons on their chests, and he felt a greater sense of security.
"Let me continue with the itinerary!"
Seeing that everyone understood, Guo Liang took out the itinerary and explained it to them. The people below quickly picked up their notebooks and carefully took notes.
"We'll split into two groups this time. Group Leader Deng will be in charge of the people from the research institute, and he'll hand over the work to the research colleagues in Hong Kong later."
"Team Leader Yu is responsible for the production work in the workshop and for providing guidance in the workshop."
"Yes!"
Little Fatty and Director Yu quickly got up and nodded.
"We only have one week this time, so we must complete the task within this week."
"Of course, if we can't finish, we have other comrades to take over the work, but that's all."
Guo Liang didn't mention the consequences, but everyone present knew that at that point, he would truly lose face.
After a moment of silence, Guo Liang laughed again, "Of course, if we can complete the mission ahead of schedule, the comrades in Hong Kong will show us around for the rest of the time."
After he said that, everyone's expressions immediately became interesting.
"Don't worry, Captain Guo, our research group will be fine."
"Team Leader Guo, as long as the other party's equipment is fine, our technical team will be fine too."
Seeing everyone's expressions, Guo Liang immediately smiled and nodded, "Alright, get some rest, we'll set off tomorrow."
"it is good!"
The group then dispersed and headed back to their lodgings.
Little Fatty walked into the room, his father's parting words still vivid in his mind.
"Little Fatty, Dad can't go. Can you check for Dad? That's our place."
"Let's see how things are now, listen to what's going on over there, and ask them how they're doing."
Thinking of this, Little Fatty saw the camera in the box next to him.
This was given to him by Yang Xiaotao before he left, with only one purpose: to photograph what he saw.
"Dad, Brother Tao, don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission."
Little Fatty cheered himself up in his heart, then lay on the bed, took out a game console, and started playing it with a grin.
This time, nobody cared about him.
