Living in a Siheyuan

Chapter 151 New Year’s Eve

Only this battle.

The Da Fei Gang has completely established its foothold in the Kowloon area.

Li Pingan took advantage of the opportunity to vigorously develop his own industry.

He also used his connections to buy cheap land in Kowloon, Wong Tai Sin and Sham Shui Po, which are still underdeveloped areas.

On the purchased land, Li Ping'an plans to build garment factories, textile factories, motorcycle factories, and some small home appliance factories.

He wants to gradually enter these industries to prepare for the future opening of the domestic market.

The Da Fei Gang is also recruiting a large number of gang members in the Kowloon area.

There are a large number of unemployed people here, most of whom are refugees from the inland areas.

These people are able to endure hardships, fight and fight. As long as you give them a bowl of rice to eat, they will work hard for you.

Li Pingan asked Lu Dehua to strictly select people to join.

Once this person is selected, their family members can have priority to work in Li Ping'an's various factories.

This made their recruitment work go very smoothly, and a lot of people rushed to join the Dafei Gang.

Soon, the number of elite members of the Dafei Gang in the Kowloon district alone expanded to more than 2,000.

It was still Lu Liping'an who asked Lu Dehua to control the number of people and try to select young and strong people to join.

Otherwise, the Dafei Gang would be overwhelmed.

As time passed, Li Ping'an's textile and garment factories had started production.

Most of the employees there are family members of gang members.

This gave the members of the Dafei Gang a strong sense of belonging to this newly joined gang.

Li Pingan took the opportunity to set up a security company, and named it Pingan Security Company, which is also a very auspicious name.

The members of the security company are also selected from the elite members of the Dafei Gang.

This also allowed these gang members to gradually move towards the light and become formalized.

These security personnel are mainly responsible for the safety work of Li Ping'an's several factories.

Li Ping'an even specially applied for this purpose and equipped all these security personnel with firearms and other weapons and ammunition.

Most of these weapons and ammunition were brought back from the small notebook, and some were the latest weapons purchased from the United States.

It can be said that the equipment of Ping An Security Company is now better than those of the soldiers sent by the Eagle Country.

During this period, Li Pingan bought a lot of land and opened factories, paying a lot of cash and taxes to the Hong Kong government.

Under the guidance of Inspector Lu, Lou Zhenghua met with the Governor in private several times.

The governor also praised Lou Zhenghua highly and gave his company many privileges.

In this way, Li Pingan's Ping An Group expanded rapidly.

Ping An Shipping Company, Ping An Security Company, Ping An Textile Factory, Ping An Garment Factory. There is also the Ping An Motorcycle Factory under construction and the Ping An Construction Company that is being prepared for establishment.

These industries combined have more than 10,000 full-time employees.

It makes huge contributions to Hong Kong every year.

On the New Year's Day party in 63, Lou Zhenghua and Li Ping'an were invited to the celebration event hosted by the Governor.

Lou Zhenghua was even awarded the Knight's Medal (KBE).

This made Lou Zhenghua stand out among Hong Kong's upper-class people.

Many people came to the scene to greet Lou Zhenghua, and some old friends and new partners came to congratulate him.

As Lou Zhenghua emerged in Hong Kong's upper class society, Ping An Group, a dark horse in the business world that was established less than a year ago, gradually appeared in the public eye.

This is both an opportunity and a challenge.

As time goes by, Li Pingan works hard every day for his business empire.

Its various industries are also developing steadily.

As the domestic market has not yet opened up, Li Pingan uses his own shipping company to sell his products in large quantities in several nearby countries.

Build wealth and channels for yourself.

At the same time, he did not forget to buy some high-end instruments and equipment from other countries and bring them back to China to help the country improve its industrial base.

The Chinese New Year is just a few days away.

Li Pingan arranges each factory and the company provides benefits to employees.

This year is everyone's first year working at Ping An Group, and Li Pingan is not stingy.

Each employee was given an extra month's salary, and there were also many welfare materials. He was determined to make sure that all his employees had a good year.

This also makes employees who receive benefits feel more belonging to their company.

Especially in the factory in Kowloon, when the employees received the benefits and bonuses from the factory, they all cried with excitement.

Some of them have only worked in the factory for a few months, but they can receive so much bonus and benefits. They are really overjoyed.

With the propaganda of these workers, several factories under Li Ping'an's name all became the targets that everyone most wanted to join.

On New Year's Eve, Li Ping'an was finally able to have a good rest.

Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe were very distressed by his hard work during this period.

Every day I prepare delicious food for Li Ping'an in different ways, hoping to nourish him.

Li Pingan looked at his two wives with big bellies, his eyes full of happiness.

In the evening, the family sat around the dining table.

Lou Zhenghua raised his glass happily and said, "Today is New Year's Eve, and it is also the first year our family has spent in Hong Kong."

"I hope that every year we go forward will be better and better. I hope that our family will grow in number!"

"Cheers everyone!"

Everyone was happily holding up their wine glasses. Even Li Haoran and Li Haoyu were holding up their cups of milk and insisted on clinking their glasses with everyone else.

This made everyone present burst into laughter.

Lou Zhenghua held them in his arms lovingly and clinked glasses with them.

Over there, the two little ones were not to be outdone. Before anyone else started to eat, they stretched out their little paws towards the delicious food on the table.

Suddenly, a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner began in a cheerful atmosphere.

Tonight, Lou Zhenghua is particularly happy.

He felt that listening to Li Ping'an and coming to Hong Kong to develop his career was the best decision he had made.

Now he finally has the feeling of a businessman galloping on the battlefield.

He also let go and prepared to do something big in his later years and fully display his ambitions.

During this period, he and Li Pingan kept drinking, and he repeatedly praised Li Pingan's efforts during this period.

Li Pingan also said, "Dad, you have worked hard during this period. Without you guarding me from behind, I would not be able to develop so peacefully. I toast to you!"

Lou Zhenghua drank some wine, patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder and said, "Ping'an, we are a family. I hope our family can gain a firm foothold in Hong Kong forever and develop for a long time."

"Dad, don't worry. Our business will grow bigger and bigger in the future!"

"Okay! Then I'll sit behind you and take charge. Just go ahead and do it."

"But although career is important, family is also important. I feel that our family still has too few children. You are still young, so you should have more children in the future. Our family can afford it."

My goodness, the baby in your belly hasn’t even been born yet, but you’re already craving for more.

If this continues, there will be enough people to form a football team.

After hearing this, Lou Xiaoe said coquettishly, "Dad, what did you say? What do you think of us? Having so many children will tire you to death."

Mother Lou smiled and patted Lou Xiao'e on the shoulder and said, "Why are you tired? Aren't I the one taking care of the kids now? I didn't even complain about being tired, but you did."

Yu Li also smiled and said, "Yes, godmother is the most tired person. Look at how many white hairs you have in this period of time."

"I'm worried now. It won't be long before Xiao'e and I have another baby. Then you, godmother, will be even busier."

Mother Lou patted Yu Li's hand and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired. Just go ahead and give birth. And Liu Mi will help me. I will definitely take good care of you all."

Li Pingan also said, "Mom, why don't we find someone else to come back? You won't be so tired then."

"You must take good care of yourself, because you will have to babysit for these guys later."

Lou Zhenghua said, "That's fine, let's find two more people. One to cook, and one to help with the housework. Let Liu Mi take good care of them."

"Liu Mi has been at our house and has been reassuring. Let her be responsible for taking care of the child when the time comes."

Originally, Lou's mother wanted to object because she didn't want too many outsiders in her home.

She felt that the lively family atmosphere was good and was afraid that outsiders would feel uncomfortable.

But after listening to Lou Zhenghua's arrangement, she no longer objected.

Women like Lou's mother are the remnants of the old society's ideological education.

In their minds, everything must be done by their men.

Even if it is wrong sometimes, the decision must be made by the man in the family.

Since no one objected, Li Pingan said, "Okay, I'll go look for them in the next few days. Find two reliable people for our family."

After discussing this matter, we also finished the New Year’s Eve dinner.

Li Ping'an asked Lou Zhenghua and his mother to sit in the middle of the living room, and then brought Yu Li, Lou Xiao'e, and the four children to kowtow to Lou Zhenghua and his mother.

Since Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe were both pregnant, they could only bow slightly to show their respect.

Li Pingan kowtowed hard.

Then he pulled Li Haoran, Li Haoyu, Li Haoyang and Li Haoyue to kowtow to Lou Zhenghua and the others.

Lou Zhenghua laughed happily.

Lou's mother quickly took out red envelopes and gave each of them a big red envelope, including one to Li Ping'an, Yu Li, Lou Xiao'e, and the four children.

Looking at such a joyful scene, Li Pingan also took out the fireworks that he had prepared long ago.

Take everyone outside to set off fireworks on the lawn.

When the fireworks were lit, the brilliant sparks illuminated everyone's happy smiling faces.

Everyone looked at the bright fireworks in the sky with happiness on their faces.

The little ones were dancing with joy.

Li Haoran and Li Haoyu couldn't hold him anymore and insisted on coming over to set off fireworks with Li Pingan.

Li Ping'an also found a few small fireworks and happily set them off on the lawn with his two children.

Yu Li and Lou Xiaoe held each other's arms and looked happily at the father and his two sons who were playing happily.

Lou Zhenghua and his mother also held one child each, and watched Li Pingan and the children playing there with a smile on their faces.

62, this disastrous year has passed.

63 years will be a new beginning!
