Hong Kong Island Old Events

Three days later, social order was gradually restored. Thanks to the day and night work of the Government Affairs Bureau, Financial Bureau, and Department of Health, there was no longer any trace of unrest on the streets. In the Governor's Mansion, under the flag stand, Ge Hongliang was wearing a suit and personally hung the knight's medal on He Dingxian's rank. He encouraged him: "Officer He, you did a good job. Please thank the Queen!"

He Dingxian was wearing a green uniform, with the title of Senior Superintendent on his shoulders, and a newly awarded round cross medal on his chest. He stood at attention and saluted, shouting: "Thank you, sir, thank the Queen!"

Dozens of lords from the upper class of Hong Kong Island were present to witness the event, including former Chief of Staff John McDonald, Commander-in-Chief of the Hong Kong Garrison, Lord Officer Luo Man-jin, Commander-in-Chief Chow Jun-nien, and others. They were either Chief Executives among ghosts, or they were Among senior Chinese compradors, only the top bosses in Hong Kong are eligible to be awarded the Order of Knighthood.

Being awarded the Knight Medal of Honor by He Dingxian represents a step into the top upper class society, and he is on an equal footing with the talkative people of the four major families such as Luo Wenjin and Zhou Junnian.

"Do a good job. The security of Hong Kong Island cannot be separated from the Chinese police officers led by you." Ge Hongliang praised him sincerely. Fang raised his hands and applauded on the stage. The jazz people in the audience also stood up and applauded with smiles on their faces. congratulate.

Sir He saluted the guests who came to watch the ceremony amidst applause, and then stepped off the stage.

"Sir."

Ge Hongliang also awarded Jian Baoning the Chief Executive Certificate on the spot, handed over the certificate of commendation sealed with gold thread with both hands, and then bent down to shake hands with Jian Baoning.

"Thank you, sir." Jian Baoning held the certificate of merit in his left hand and stood at attention with his right hand in salute, showing great solemnity.

The ceremony is over.

Except for Sir Zhou Junnian, who was older and in poor health, and the commanders of the three services representing the military left in a hurry, the rest of the knights stayed at the scene, took the red wine from the waiter, and held a small gentry in the governor's residence. Reception.

"Axian."

"congratulations."

Luo Wenjin was wearing a suit and a medal. He came forward with a wine glass and congratulated: "A recipient of the Knight Medal under the age of thirty has set a new record for the age of knighthood in Hong Kong Island. I have to call you Sir."

His eyes fell on the knighthood medal on He Dingxian's chest, with a hint of envy in his expression.

I simply envy the other person for being young, capable, and proud of himself.

You know, if you get a medal in your fifties or sixties, you will be prestigious for 20 or 30 years at most, but if you get a medal in your 20s or 30s, you will be prestigious for 40 to 50 years. You have to become famous early to have a lot of time to be prestigious!

"Uncle Jin."

He Dingxian smiled implicitly and said as a junior: "I don't dare to take it. It's just that the brothers are willing to do it and have a little luck."

"Papa." Luo Wenjin patted his shoulder twice and praised, "I used to think that you could easily hurt yourself if you took a wrong approach, but now I understand your confidence. Every step you take is accurate. You are really formidable. "

"Hong Kong Island needs strong men like you!"

He Dingxian drank the red wine, shook his head and said, "Thank you."

"How's A-Yun doing lately?" After Luo Wenjin finished drinking, he started to do some household chores. He Dingxian smiled and said, "I'm more than four months pregnant. I'm currently raising my baby at home. I'll take A-Yun back for a visit when I have time."

"No need." Luo Wenjin shook his head: "I will go visit her with Wen Hui in a while. It's not easy for pregnant women to run around."

"That's fine."

He Dingxian smiled when he saw this.

Luo Wenjin's attitude towards him was completely different from before, but it couldn't be summed up simply by saying "snobbish". First of all, as a family talker, one must put the interests of the family first. Secondly, Luo Wenjin did not do anything excessive except treating him coldly.

Finally, He Dingxian was intent on clinging to the Luo family and taking advantage of the opportunity to climb up. It was normal for Luo Wenjin to be wary. Speaking of snobbery, He Dingxian is the biggest snobbery. If a person pursues snobbery without understanding, how can he climb up?

As long as you are not a pure profit animal, you will do whatever it takes to get benefits, and you still have a bottom line and morality.

The place of fortune is Vanity Fair!

If He Dingxian had taken advantage of the situation and failed to climb up, he would have been scolded as a loser. If he had taken advantage of the situation and failed to reciprocate, he would have been scolded as a wolf. But He Dingxian succeeded in climbing up. He will never forget the kindness that should be remembered and the reward that should be given. He is the most admired model of success in society.

Luo Wenjin not only admires him, but even admires him. In the next twenty years, the four major families may have to change their names.

"I'll go and talk to Sir Jian first. If I have anything else to say at home, I won't disturb your meeting with the other knights." Luo Wenjin looked back at where the Governor and Jian Baoning were and smiled. He Dingxian nodded happily and said: "Okay."

Immediately, Luo Wenjin raised his glass and walked down to the next group of people. When someone saw an empty space in front of Sir He, he naturally raised his glass and stepped forward to recognize him. For the big guys, friends have no distinction of nationality or class, no matter what means they use to get there.

As long as you reach the corresponding class and abide by the tacit understanding of the class, you will naturally be accepted by the new class.

Everyone in the upper class actually welcomes new people to join, because the appearance of every new person represents a new force. Unfortunately, whether someone can squeeze into the circle is not controlled by the insiders. It is a consensus that the higher the social level, the smaller the number of people. Human society is a pyramid. There are only one or two people at the highest point. They are located on the upper tower of Hong Kong Island, but they are not the top of the tower.

The small cocktail party after the investiture ceremony is itself a social event set up by the jazz class to welcome newcomers.

He Dingxian then exchanged business cards with McDonald, He Shirong, Wu Zhongjing and others, and chatted a few more words. Among the knights present, nine out of ten were ghosts, and only four or five were Chinese, including mixed-race families.

However, everyone does not seem to be distinguished from the elite, and it is true that the people who get the knighthood in Hong Kong Island are either political officials or comprador officials and businessmen, and are rentiers in Hong Kong Island. Personal interests in Hong Kong have long outweighed the interests of the country at heart.

As long as they are willing to unite to make Hong Kong Island bigger and share more money, no one actually cares who is in charge of Hong Kong Island. But as long as someone touches their interests and devalues ​​the wealth in their hands, any of them will dare to subvert.

If Ho Ting-hsien had been more than ten or twenty years later, when Hong Kong Island rentiers had eaten up all the shore business, it would have been difficult to repeat the Double Ten Operation again. Nowadays, they do not value onshore shares, and capital is mostly circulated in public services or energy, infrastructure, land and other industries, so turmoil in the manufacturing industry will not affect them. On the contrary, He Dingxian's previous actions to suppress bandits in Nanyang were highly praised and left a good impression on them.

"These people only care about their superiority and inferiority, regardless of their nationality, which is more disgusting than imagined." When He Dingxian left the governor's residence in a car, he held a stack of business cards in his hand and looked at them one after another: "Many people admire Darwinian evolution, but when you see a group of powerful people coming together and treating the people at the bottom as just another creature.”

"You won't be happy."

Every tycoon who builds his business from scratch is bound to take some time to adapt to the changes. This nausea is like the feeling of weightlessness when an airplane ascends. It gets better once you get used to it in the stratosphere. Moreover, upper-class bosses often continue their "socialist" style of doing business and advocate competition in the first one or two generations, but by the third or fourth generation, unity will become the social law they advocate.

Because they will find that after reaching the top of society, there is no way to rise. Uniting with each other to prevent those below from climbing up and maintaining their current social status has become their most important career.

Friday.

Wan Chai, a cigar bar.

Police Commissioner Kin Po Ning, Senior Superintendent He Dingxian, Customs Commissioner Zhao Dunxian, and Corrections Commissioner Mason were all sitting in the box. They were all leaning on the sofa, puffing away smoke and quietly tasting cigars: "Huh"

"Da da da."

Outside the glass door.

A British police officer wearing a suit and carrying a gun on his waist raised his hand and knocked on the door, saying, "Sir Jian, Sir Gewen, and Sir Bird are here together."

"Please come in."

Jian Baoning was sitting on the sofa, holding a cigar in his left hand and holding it in his mouth. He raised his right arm and waved casually. The police officer immediately opened the door and asked two officers in suits to come in. Director Ge Wen and Deputy Director Byrd of the Fire Department came into the room together, nodding and calling: "Sir Jian, Sir Zhao, Sir Mason."

"Sir."

A strange expression flashed across Gewen's expression.

He Dingxian was leaning against the sofa, with two buttons on the chest of his suit unbuttoned, and his straight legs resting on the glass table. He was combing the hair of a sexy pony who was kneeling in front of the sofa and cutting a cigar hat, paying no attention to the two officers who came in.

Among the four officers, he has the most arrogant and casual sitting posture, but his pleated suit gives him an arrogant and uninhibited look, which particularly highlights his masculine charm.

Jian Baoning just nodded calmly to the new officers at the same level and did not stand up to welcome him.

Director of Corrections Mason stood up and stepped forward to shake hands: "Welcome, Sir, to our Director's Cigar Bar."

This cigar bar was specially built by Mason. It has the most professional cigar room, wine cellar, chess and card room, and even an arms room, as well as eight bedrooms. Each member can access supplies at will, and there is a dedicated room. bedroom.

But Mason, as the host, only provides a place for socializing, not the talker of a few people, but the one with the lowest power ranking.

"Thank you, Sir Mason, for the invitation."

Gewen quickly bowed and thanked him.

After Bird heard the name of the cigar bar, he was slightly touched and turned his attention to the arrogant Chinese. He was the only person present who did not have a director-level position. There was only one reason why he could enjoy the director's cigar bar openly.

He has the power of director!

No police rank is required.

"Sit down and smoke one first?" Zhao Dunxian stood up and invited Ge Wen and Bird to sit in the sofa area. He smiled and pointed to the glass display case: "What flavor do you two like and which company does it come from?"

"Just Koy." Gewen announced a brand. Mason opened a thermostat and took out a box for the two of them. Gewen didn't wait for the waiter's help, picked up the cigar cutter on the table and started trimming the cap. Jian Baoning said: "I've called you here today mainly to talk about the performance of the four major disciplinary forces during the Double Ten Operation and to determine rewards and punishments."

Ge Wen panicked, raised his head and looked to the opposite side.

He Dingxian was holding a cigar in his mouth, staring at him and saying: "Since the four major armies are one, they should discuss their merits and reward them together. Let's start with the police officers."
