Chapter 245: The Local Snake Cannot Defeat the Dragon From Across the River!
In many people's eyes, He Xian is the king of Haojiang. It stands to reason that he should live in a big mansion like a villa in the middle of the hill in Hong Kong.
In fact, it's not true.
Yang Ming looked over and found that it was just an ordinary three-story building. It looked like red bricks from the outside. There were only some trees and bamboos around.
Seeing these buildings, Yang Ming felt that they were much better than those dilapidated buildings he saw on the Haojiang Peninsula when he just took a car here.
However, He Xian had five concubines, and these concubines did not all live here. There were other houses on the Haojiang Peninsula.
When Mr. He personally took Yang Ming in, Yang Ming saw that Mr. He might really be feeling a little unwell, and he was afraid that he had caught a cold in Yanjing.
Yang Ming and he sat down in the living room.
Butler Lin Dezhong had already handed the prepared gifts to the eldest son of the He family.
Yang Ming and Mr. He drank tea there.
Half an hour later.
Mr. He said, "Mr. Yang, let's go to the study and talk alone."
"Okay."
This time, Yang Ming was invited to visit Mr. He, and it was impossible for him to just come and take a look.
Yang Ming came to Mr. He's study, and he found that Mr. He's study was just as simple, not very luxurious, except for books.
There were also some photos.
Among them, a very obvious black and white photo was a photo of Mr. He and another person.
Ke Zhengping.
Haojiang is known as the two Kes.
Among them, in addition to Ke Zhengping, there are his eldest brother Ke Yu.
In fact, the one with the greatest influence is Ke Zhengping.
The Nanguan Trading Company founded by Ke Zhengping is not just an ordinary company, but represents the relationship between the mainland and Haojiang.
He Xian also knew the Ke Zhengping brothers very early.
Among them, He Xian and Ke Zhengping's eldest brother He Yu knew each other the earliest.
When Yang Ming returned to Hong Kong, Lin Xiuzhi had already shown him a lot of information about Haojiang. Before Yang Ming came, he basically understood the situation of the Haojiang Peninsula.
Now, seeing the photo of Mr. He in the study represents his relationship with the He brothers.
"Mr. Yang, this is Ke Zhengping, and this is He Yu. However, Mr. Ke Zhengping and I are both relatively low-key, especially He Yu has returned to work at Zhongshan Hospital in Guangzhou. If you go to Guangzhou, you can meet him."
Yang Ming nodded.
"This is Mr. Huo."
Yang Ming looked over and saw the photo of Mr. He and Huo Yingdong, which was also a black and white photo. It looked very old, probably taken in the 1950s and 1960s.
In addition to the Ke brothers and Huo Yingdong, Yang Ming also saw photos of several people here.
Cui family.
Ma family, etc.
In other words, He Xian is the most important person in the Haojiang Peninsula, and the Ma family and the Cui family have a close relationship with Mr. He.
After reading this, Yang Ming basically understood what was going on.
As for Ke Zhengping's Nanguan Company, it only represents the mainland's companies and relationships in Haojiang. Since its early appearance, it has always been to contact patriotic people in Haojiang.
It was also because of that that Mr. He established a relationship with the mainland through the He brothers, and Huo Yingdong also established a relationship with the mainland through the Ke brothers, and also established a relationship with Mr. He Xian.
Yang Ming's mind was already clear about the relationship between these people.
He Xian continued: "In 1961, the Governor's Office of Haojiang publicly auctioned the exclusive operating rights of the gambling industry. At that time, I and the Cui family and the Ma family were not interested in these things, thinking that this would kill many people. However, Haojiang has always made a living from the gambling industry."
In fact, Yang Ming guessed that Mr. He Xian had monopolized the major industries in Haojiang with the Ma family and the Cui family. It was naturally impossible for Portugal to give the gambling industry in Haojiang to the three families in Haojiang to monopolize it, otherwise, all the industries in Haojiang would fall into the hands of the three major families in Haojiang.
Before 1961, the operating rights of the gambling industry in Haojiang were in the hands of Fu Laorong and Ye Gaoning.
In 1960, Fu Laorong died, and his eldest son was a hopeless case. The then Governor of Haojiang, Ma Jishi, decided to change the gaming license.
For the small Haojiang Peninsula, the main source of income is the gaming industry.
In order to collect more taxes, the Governor of Haojiang decided to change people.
It happened that Ye Han, who had served the Fu family for many years, saw the opportunity and decided to take over the new operating rights of Haojiang. However, considering his own lack of strength, he pulled in the playboy Ye Deli.
Ye Deli persuaded Ye Han to pull in He Hongyan, who was still developing the real estate industry in Hong Kong at that time.
He Hongyan knew that the replacement of the new gaming owner in Haojiang was his only chance.
However, He Hongyan took into account the influence of Fu Laorong and Ye Gaoning in Haojiang, even though the new heir of the Fu family, the Fu family son, had no ability, in order to stabilize the license.
In addition to persuading Huo Yingdong in Hong Kong and obtaining Huo Yingdong's financial support, he also had the relationship between Huo Yingdong and Haojiang He Xian and Ke Zhengping.
With the relationship with He Xian, it means the support of the King of Haojiang, and there is a better chance of getting the license.
However, just in case.
He immediately went to Portugal with Yip Deli, and spent money to build relationships with the Portuguese upper class, so that the Portuguese upper class would recognize He Hongyan more.
When Haojiang officially auctioned the gambling license in 1961, He Hongyan joined Yip Deli, Huo Yingdong, and Ye Han to win the license.
From that time until now, He Hongyan has almost monopolized the gambling industry in Haojiang.
He Hongyan is not a simple person.
At the beginning, he was just pulled into this alliance as a shareholder, but soon, he became the host, first agreeing to Ye Han, and even Huo Yingdong's conditions and shares were gradually changing.
So now the Ho Hongyan family is the only one in Haojiang Entertainment Company, which has made Ye Han and Huo Yingdong very dissatisfied.
In addition, Ye Han was the general manager of Haojiang Entertainment Company at the beginning. A few years ago, he was driven out by Ho Hongyan. Now he only has equity dividends, but no longer has the possibility of managing Haojiang Entertainment Company. It is precisely because of that that Ye Han and Ho Hongyan have a deep conflict.
Huo Yingdong also believes that he was deceived by Ho Hongyan at the beginning.
In addition to having shares in the gambling industry in Haojiang, he has long stopped interfering in the situation here.
This involves insider information, which is far deeper than outsiders know.
Originally, Mr. He didn't want to pay attention to these things, nor did he want to intervene.
In those days, if it weren't for the relationship between Mr. Huo and him and Ke Zhengping, he would have continued to support Fu Laorong and Ye Gaoning.
Fu Laorong left, and the eldest son of the wealthy family who inherited the fortune, Fu Jia, had no way to support him, so he had to give up.
Now, he is old.
The gambling industry in Haojiang monopolizes 90% of Haojiang's GDP, income, taxes, and even employment. It is impossible for you to say that Mr. He Xian is not worried or afraid.
When Yang Ming was sitting in a wheelchair and listening, Mr. He Xian talked about the past. Yang Ming knew that it was more thrilling than he imagined that He Hongyan could become the gambling king of Haojiang.
He really admired He Hongyan.
A person who can come from Hong Kong, as a dragon crossing the river, the local snake has begun to be unable to suppress it.
