Chapter 214 Hong Kong in May(1/2)

"Kate, don't worry, the British Hong Kong government can control the situation in Hong Kong."

Bruce comforted Catherine on the phone.

"Dad...be careful."

To be honest, Catherine had no idea at all that this matter was indeed dangerous.

Catherine didn't know how big a fuss this matter would cause, and because it related to her relatives, Catherine was very worried about this matter.

On May 5, the labor unrest began to worsen. Some workers at the Hong Kong Artificial Flower Factory branch began to block factory shipments, creating a tense situation.

Because of leftist propaganda, the entire East Kowloon area seems to have turned into a powder keg.

At the same time, a large number of Umbrella Company employees were transferred to Hong Kong.

Bruce began launching Umbrella's promotional campaign in Hong Kong.

Suddenly, advertisements for security companies began to appear all over Hong Kong.

"American Veteran" and "Professional Personal Protection" are all Bruce's advertising slogans.

On May 6, the police training detachment arrived at the scene to be on guard, but the workers outside the factory not only did not disperse, but also clashed with the police officers present. 21 workers were arrested by the police force, and many workers were injured. After the hearing, more

Eight people were sentenced to jail, and union representatives were also detained when they went to the police station.

On May 7, workers, representatives of the Federation of Trade Unions and other supporters took to the streets to rally and demonstrate. The demonstrators imitated the practice of the Cultural Revolution, holding "Quotations" and shouting slogans. The police training detachment fired tear gas and wooden bullets to disperse the demonstrators.

, arrested 127 people.

On May 11, Lin Shenhe led his brothers to sneak into the workers.

The waves are white, the forest is deep and the river is deep.

Although this nickname sounds very good, in fact, it is derogatory. Of course, for people who do not know the allusion, it is actually very popular.

Lin Shenhe always rushed to the front every time he slashed. His body was strong. Even if he was shot like last month, his wounds were almost healed.

The origin of this nickname comes from Lin Shenhe's most troublesome swimming problem - he will naturally sink as soon as he enters the water, which completely violates the natural law that humans are less dense than water.

No matter how hard he fluttered, it had no effect.

For the sake of face, he even hired a teacher to teach him swimming and spent a lot of money. In the end, he still sank straight into the water, and his movements sometimes had the opposite effect.

At this time, Lin Shenhe felt as if he was about to sink to the bottom of the river.

"This place in San Po Kong is too messy, boss... why are we here?"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's get it done now, and when it's done, everyone will get $1,000."

After hearing this, the group of subordinates gradually settled down. They had all received a deposit of US$100, and after the completion of the project, there would still be US$1,000. What they had to do was to pay attention to the progress of the matter and report it at any time.

Provide an overview report to the umbrella company so that the umbrella company can react to the matter as soon as possible.

Lin Shenhe felt that things seemed a little different today, and the whole atmosphere seemed much more frenetic than the previous days.

"Down with the capitalists"

"Down with the British Colonists"

Gradually, Lin Shenhe began to realize that something seemed to be wrong. The slogan... changed.

"No way...could it really be..."

He jumped up.

"Big dog, hurry up, go find a place, then make this call and tell them that something is wrong, it seems..."

Lin Shenhe looked around. Now, he was also among the workers.

"It seems like... a red tide..."

He said quietly.

"Yes, boss."

The thug named Big Dog left immediately.

On the other side, Bruce was also shocked when he received the news.

This matter has actually come to this point

"It seems... we can only look to the British Hong Kong government."

Bruce's brows furrowed deeply.

At this time, his company has been brought to the edge of the cliff.

Should we cross the cliff or find another way?

This riot is a big deal, but if it works well, it will be a good thing.

Don't be impulsive about this matter

“It’s better to wait and see for a while.”

Bruce finally made his decision.

On May 13, the riots spread to Wong Tai Sin and To Kwa Wan. The authorities dispatched a large number of British troops and police training detachments to suppress the riots, and a certain newspaper also added fuel to the fire.

At the same time, the number of consultation calls from the umbrella company has suddenly doubled.

The famous "May Storm" or "June 7th Riots" in Hong Kong history has begun.

If it were just like this, Bruce might still be happy. After all, this would be very helpful for his company's business expansion.

But the problem is, in addition, the other party also made various real and fake bombs

These bombs are the biggest trouble that affects the company.

If we don't solve this problem, the problem will be huge.

After all, the other side is using bombs and "fake bombs" against each other. It is true and false, false and true, which makes people have endless headaches.

The situation in Hong Kong has become very delicate.

On the Lin Shen River side, as a second- and fifth-year-old boy, he was caught in the crowd and suffered terribly.

The friction between the British police and workers is getting deeper and deeper. It is obvious that the contradiction is getting bigger and bigger.

This incident has spread from East Kowloon... God knows what will happen in the future.

The situation in Hong Kong is getting more and more tense, but in the future, this cruel situation will continue to pervade...



On the other side, Catherine also set her sights on Hong Kong.

Since her father planned to stay in Hong Kong, Catherine had no way to let him come back.

In fact, Catherine also somewhat wanted to go to Hong Kong.

Catherine's intuition as a big capitalist lets her know that Hong Kong is definitely a place full of business opportunities.

Not just umbrella companies, but other places as well.

Catherine frowned, but soon her eyes lit up.

“Buying a house to buy a house at the bottom of the housing market”

What industry is the most profitable?

Which industry is the most profitable?

real estate

You know, in the future, the real estate land prices in Beijing and Tokyo will exceed the GDP of the United States. Is it more profitable than this?

Moreover, after June, my company will have funds. At that time, why can't I speculate on Hong Kong real estate?

If the money is still not enough, the worst possible scenario is to build the factory and then mortgage it out.

The storm also caused economic losses, forcing some citizens to sell their property and leave Hong Kong, causing Hong Kong's first wave of immigrants.

It was at this time that Hong Kong's housing market plummeted, and it did not gradually recover until 1969.

You can definitely buy the bottom of Hong Kong’s real estate market by yourself...

However, Catherine does not plan to rush to Hong Kong right now, but is planning to wait until next year to buy the bottom... After all, this incident must not end until the end of the year.

And at that time, I can also be richer.

At the same time, Catherine also wanted to meet someone-Vicente Fox Quesada.

Catherine has always wanted to hire a professional manager for DreamWorks, and this person she has always targeted is Vicente Fox Quesada.

"Hello, Miss Edson."

The other party was a young man who had just graduated from Harvard. When he saw Catherine, the other party seemed to be very curious about what kind of person could build such a large-scale enterprise when he was not yet twenty years old.

?

"Hello, Mr. Quesada."

Catherine found it interesting to see the future president of Mexico.
