The van drove down the driveway.
Uncle Jian frequently glanced at the rearview mirror.
Zhuang Shikai was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, and he suddenly said: "Uncle Jian, is there any problem in the factory?"
Even with his eyes closed, he could feel eyes scanning over him.
If it was said that once or twice was accidental, then there must be something to say to him three or four times.
Uncle Jian held the steering wheel with both hands and seized the opportunity to say: "Big boss, the shoe factory is indeed in some trouble."
"Huh, it's not an A-grade factory, it's a shoe factory." Zhuang Shikai breathed a sigh of relief.
Currently, the A-goods factory is his biggest financial source and the main reason why he can arrange the layout smoothly.
Money is power!
If there is a problem with this financial source, it will have an impact on his relationship with Lard Boy, Chen Xijiu, and it will be inconvenient to do other things.
Therefore, nothing can happen to the A-goods factory. If something happens, it will be a big problem!
As for the shoe factory... If you want to build a new factory, you will definitely encounter trouble, so if there is trouble, solve the trouble. This is not a big deal.
Moreover, now that the registration procedures for the shoe factory have been completed, the company is his sole proprietorship and has nothing to do with Lei Luo and others.
In addition, shoe factories are different from A-grade factories. Luo Ge has no set rules and many people can compete with him.
When he encounters various operations, he has to handle them all by himself and try to solve them by himself.
"Tell me, what's going on in the shoe factory?" Zhuang Shikai opened his eyes and asked, leaning on the sofa.
Uncle Jian said with an anxious expression: "The Lands Department granted us the land. But the villagers in the New Territories refused to let us start the construction! As soon as the construction team built one wall, two sides were knocked down, and the people underneath couldn't handle it at all."
"I took my brothers over to talk, but they didn't give me any face. They let our boss talk to us."
"Boss, those natives in the New Territories are too arrogant and have shotguns. Our factory has no chance of fighting them."
The New Territories is the last developed countryside in Hong Kong and is still a wilderness.
The New Territories people were the main force in the June 7th riots. They relied on sickles, axes, real swords and real guns to drive out the Gui Lao military and police from the New Territories.
Although in the end the arm could not twist the thigh and the riot was brutally suppressed, the unique "Ding Quan" plan was won for the New Territories gentry.
According to the information Zhuang Shikai received, the "Ding Rights" promised by Gui Lao in the New Territories have not yet been implemented.
Currently, Gui Lao's senior management is formulating a plan to develop the New Territories.
I just want to expand the main urban area and reclaim the New Territories.
Judging from the historical progress, it seems that the government will implement the "Ding Rights" this year in order to develop the New Territories.
Then use the "Ghost Guy"'s Ding Quan to prostitute the New Territories squire for nothing! No, it’s not just free prostitution! I still want to make money!
Who is Inspector Zhuang? I started out as a prostitute for free and made a lot of money. I would never let it go if I had the opportunity. How could I make a profit or not?
Zhuang Shikai made up his mind and said aloud: "Driving to the New Territories, I hope they dare to play any tricks in front of me."
"Boss, are you going alone... Isn't your status suitable for you?" Uncle Jian was not afraid that Inspector Zhuang would be in danger, but he was afraid that the country people would be unreasonable and lose the face of Inspector Zhuang.
"It doesn't matter, just park at the phone booth on the roadside." Zhuang Shikai crossed his legs and closed his eyes again to rest.
Uncle Jian understood and stopped at the corner ahead. When Zhuang Shikai called the Kowloon District Police Station, he also made a call to the brothers to inform them to restart work.
The big boss is not going to reason with people from the New Territories when he goes to inspect. Hiding conflicts underwater sometimes makes them more troublesome to deal with. After all, Uncle Jian has also been the director of the A-goods factory for more than half a year. He knows that he should take advantage of the big boss's free time to bring out the conflicts and let the big boss deal with them at once.
Just like the shoe factory encountered obstacles, it obviously happened a week ago, but he just reported it to the big boss.
As long as things are still within control, try to propose it to the big boss at the right time. Don't make the big boss make two trips, otherwise the big boss will think he is useless!
Are you causing trouble to the big boss all day long? Then the position of factory director will no longer be needed!
…
New Territories, Tai Po.
Next to a 300-acre green space are piles of cement and red bricks.
Several digging trucks were parked on the land. No one was working on them, and their bodies were splashed with red paint. Even the windows of the digging car were blown out. It was really a pitiful digging car.
"Brother Hantao! Those construction team members are here again!"
"A lot of people came this time, more than 300 people, and some people with shovels. They seemed to be employees of the factory in front."
A roadside restaurant built out of plastic sheds.
Lu Hantao was wearing a white shirt, with a white towel hanging around his neck, and a safety helmet placed next to the dining table, looking like he had just returned from the mine.
When he heard several hurried family brothers running over and shouting, he immediately clapped his chopsticks and shouted loudly: "Notify the brothers in the village! Copy the guy!"
"Yes! Brother Hantao!" Several family brothers quickly turned around and rushed into the village, shouting and shouting along the village road. The doors of each house soon opened, and young people armed with steel forks, machetes, wooden sticks, and shotguns stepped out of their houses and gathered in a stream of people to walk to the village gate.
After Yiguan's migration to the south, scholar-bureaucrats moved southward, and the ancestral system from the north spread to the south. Coupled with the inconvenient transportation in the south, there are more wild animals and miasma, forming a very strong local clan power.
From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China, and then to modern times, local clan influence in the south was a stubborn problem. Although the clan power reached its peak in the Republic of China, it gradually declined in modern times. However, until modern times, there have been cases where hundreds of villagers besieged the government, or the whole village broke the law and fought against the government, which shows the strong power of local clans.
In the south, annual ancestor worship and ancestral hall meetings have become traditions passed down, and it is impossible to put an end to them. And it’s even worse in the countryside of Hong Kong Island than in the mainland! The "gentry" class of the feudal era still exists in the rural areas of the New Territories.
New Territories Lu family! The descendants of high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty immigrated to Hong Kong Island from the mainland. There are five villages in the New Territories, all with the surname Lu, and a population of more than 10,000. During the Qing Dynasty, he married a wealthy family in Hong Kong, took root in the New Territories, and occupied a large area of land in the New Territories.
The current factories in the New Territories Factory Area are, firstly, recruiting people from the New Territories, and secondly, they were established six or seven years ago. Not a single factory has been built in the past four years, which shows the current xenophobic attitude in the New Territories.
What's more, since Lu controls several mines in the New Territories and owns the largest area of land. The influence has already radiated to the entire New Territories. Not only the Lu family's population, but also villages with other surnames also listen to the Lu family's words.
Otherwise, they will have no work, no food, and they will be ungrateful and white-eyed wolves with their elbows turned outward!
And Lu Hantao! The son of the patriarch of the Lu family, the foreman of the New Territories, and the leader of the younger generation! More than thirty years old!
In 1967, he fired the first shot in the New Territories, leading the New Territories villagers to resist the British Hong Kong town government. He became the eldest brother of the New Territories Lu family in one fell swoop. Tens of thousands of men and women in the New Territories Lu family obeyed his orders.
Although his father is still alive, Lu Hantao is already the de facto talker in the New Territories.
