Chapter 1218 Piggy's idea is really brilliant
Prince Fushimi's proposal was approved by everyone. As for its implementation, it was handled by the Prince and the Fujiwara family. After more than a decade of planning, it had finally reached its current scale.
However, the materials presented by the Governor clearly stated that this was already the limit allowed by the British Hong Kong government. If the Anlehui (a religious organization) were to gain more followers, it would threaten the rule of the British Hong Kong government, which was absolutely unacceptable.
Even if half of the parliament supports it, it will be in vain, unless the Prime Minister of Great Britain is a Japanese, but that is even more of a pipe dream.
Da Bao tossed the materials to Lei Luo, just as Zhu Youzai walked in and said in a deep voice.
"Young Master, within two hours at most, everything about the Anle Society will be laid out before you."
Despite the freezing weather, Piggy was covered in sweat, clearly having put in a lot of effort. Da Bao smiled and beckoned him to sit down, personally pouring him a cup of tea.
Piggy chuckled, took the tea, blew on it, and drank it in big gulps.
After reading the materials, Lei Luo handed them to Guo Yingnan. Guo Yingnan opened them and waved his hands repeatedly.
"This is all foreign characters, I can't understand a single one of them."
Lei Luo then explained to him with a smile that Ip Man didn't even look at the materials; he didn't get involved in these matters. His only responsibility was to repay a debt of gratitude and protect Da Bao's family.
At this moment, Uncle Qing walked to his side and said softly.
"Master Ye, your wife and son have been brought here and settled in their guest room. Would you like to go and see them?"
Ip Man stood up, nodded, and followed Uncle Ching out.
As Piggy sipped his tea, he listened to Lei Luo explaining things to Guo Yingnan, and he seemed to be deep in thought as he listened.
After Lei Luo gave a brief explanation, Guo Yingnan finally understood the origin of the Anle Society.
Piggy put down his teacup, looked up and said to Da Bao.
"Young master, since the Japanese devils dare to make a move on the young ladies, we can't just sit here and wait to die. But do you want to wipe out the Anle Society once and for all, or do you just want to kill these leaders?"
Da Bao became interested. He picked up a cigar from the table, lit one for each person, and handed it to them. Da Bao himself took out a pack of special-supply cigarettes and started smoking.
Unexpectedly, when he took out this kind of cigarette, the three men stopped smoking their cigars, put them out, and each picked up a special cigarette and started smoking.
Dabao smiled.
"These are domestically produced cigarettes. Are you used to smoking them?"
Guo Yingnan and Lei Luo exchanged a knowing glance, while Piggy laughed.
"Young master, although we live in Hong Kong, we're not ignorant. This kind of cigarette is called a special supply cigarette in China; it's only supplied to leaders at the ministerial level or above, so it doesn't even have a brand."
You can buy any cigar if you have money, but with special-supply cigarettes, even if you have a lot of money, you probably won't even be able to smell them.
Guo Yingnan has a heavy smoking habit and really can't get used to this kind of mellow and sweet cigarette, but Lei Luo likes it very much, Da Bao said with a smile.
"I have plenty of this kind of cigarettes. I'll have someone send you two cases in a couple of days."
This was also a veiled way of telling Lei Luo that he had strong connections in China. Lei Luo and Zhu Youzai were both very clever, and they immediately understood. Lei Luo said while smoking a cigarette.
"Young master, the water police frequently catch smuggling ships. From now on, as long as the goods are being transported into the country, I will ask them to turn a blind eye."
Dabao nodded.
“We share the same roots and will always be one family. This is a kind act of kindness on your part. Don’t worry, the people over there will know about it in the future.”
Da Bao turned to Zhu Youzai and said.
"You just said you would wipe out the Anle Society in one fell swoop?"
Lard nodded.
"Young master, I believe killing a few Japanese devils wouldn't be difficult for you, even if they were princes or emperors. But as the old saying goes, 'Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't fall down when it's dead.'"
If this isn't eradicated completely, it will remain a major threat in the future.
Da Bao nodded slowly, seemingly lost in thought.
"Go on."
"Brother Luo just talked about the contents of the materials from the Governor's House. I think we can actually make use of them, but it will take three days."
"Oh?"
The four of them leaned forward simultaneously, their heads almost touching, listening to what Piggy had to say...
After a while, Guo Yingnan clapped his hands excitedly and shouted.
"You fatso, you're really something! For this idea, I have to reward you. I just opened a new nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui called 'Hidden Night,' and I'm giving it to you."
"what?"
Piggy exclaimed in surprise, "Nightmare Nightclub? That's the biggest new nightclub in Tsim Sha Tsui. I heard it cost over five million to invest in it. I never expected Guo Yingnan to just give it to me like that. That's really a big deal."
As it turns out, no matter how fat he gets, he's still a frog in a well.
Dabao said with a smile.
“Ah Luo, Ah Zai, in two months, Sands International and Yongle Palace in Macau will open. I will give each of you ten gaming tables. Find two trusted men to manage them.”
My goodness! This isn't just ten gambling tables; it's ten golden hens for each of them, and two super casinos at that! Lei Luo and Piggy exchanged glances; they hadn't mistaken their master.
They both said in unison,
"Thank you, young master. Thank you, Mr. Guo."
Da Bao patted Zhu Youzai on the shoulder.
"I'll do it your way. Thank you for your hard work."
……
A trend swept through Hong Kong, with almost everyone saying that joining the Anlehui (a Hong Kong Christian and Leisure Association) would bring peace of mind and happiness, freeing one from suffering in life and leading to heaven after death.
The Anlehui (Peaceful Life Society) originally developed from a model where believers introduced other believers.
Suddenly, in a single day, 20,000 believers introduced over 100,000 relatives and friends to join the Anle Society. This made Vice President Zhang Dongqi extremely happy.
On the second day, over 300,000 people joined the Anlehui (a charity organization). Dozens of staff members were busy from morning till night, each filling out thousands of membership forms.
By the third day, the total number of euthanasia patients had reached over 800,000. At this point, the Hong Kong British government could no longer remain silent and immediately reported the matter to the legislature.
Parliament convened an emergency meeting overnight and unanimously decided to completely ban cults.
The Hong Kong British government received an order from Parliament and immediately convened a meeting of the Secretary for Security and senior police officers. The Governor, representing Parliament, issued the order.
All senior members of the Anlehui Society are ordered to leave Hong Kong within a specified period. All illegal gains, churches, and books are to be confiscated and burned in public. If any so-called believers are found to be worshipping angels, they will be fined or imprisoned.
This was the first time since Hong Kong opened as a port that a cult was eradicated with explicit regulations. Since then, Hong Kong has not seen such a large sect for decades...
