Hong Kong Island Old Events

A week later.

Wan Chai, in front of Yiqun Fruit Bar.

Jiang Tiansheng set up the incense table, wore a suit, and held a glass of liquor in his hand. He said: "Five years ago, the Yiqun Fruit Bar opened with great success. The founder, Brother Hao, led a group of brothers with great ambitions. In order to set up the flag, they worked every day. All have to fight for blood.”

"We have to fight in Nanyang, we have to fight on ships, and we have to fight on Hong Kong Island."

"On average, one person is killed every week."

Ten nominal community brothers, wearing white shirts, holding three incense sticks in their hands, kneeled shirtless in front of the incense table.

The citizens coming and going looked at them.

Many people have envy in their eyes.

"Master Guan is here."

Jiang Tiansheng continued: "It has been five years since Yiqunshe was founded and passed into my hands. The business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more brothers, but I am not satisfied! The fortune teller said that I have Tai Chi in my horoscope, which scares the ghosts, but I It’s even more shocking.”

"Why?"

"The police have guns!"

He paced in front of the incense table covered with red cloth.

The ten brothers opened their eyes wide and looked at the shrine on the table. Inside was a statue of Guan Sheng wearing straw sandals.

"Today, I, Jiang Tiansheng, am very happy that a brother from Yiqun Society can take off his straw sandals and put on official boots. In the future, Yiqun Society will rely on the support of all brothers. I wish you all the best in the fire department." Jiang Tiansheng raised his head and drank the wine in one sip. After finishing it, raise it high again with an uplifting look.

The ten brothers stepped forward and inserted the incense into the copper stove, bowed three times to the shrine, then lined up in a row, picked up the wine glasses on the table, and drank them all with their heads held high. Among the ten people, there were young people in their early twenties, as well as teenagers aged sixteen or seventeen. Everyone was full of energy and hope.

Since the police force established order in the world, fewer and fewer Sirs will join social organizations for money.

In the past, it was normal for Sirs to go to clubs to find people to support them, but now it is clubs that ask Sirs for support.

The Yi Qun Club was able to send ten brothers to the fire department. Although they were not in the police force, they still stole the show. Naturally, these ten enviable places were snatched up by members of the club, most of whom were gangsters. Of the children, only two are young people who have read books and have made contributions to the society.

The remaining one is Ni Zhi. Thanks to his cousin Ni Kun's relationship, he first joined the Yiqun Society and then joined the fire department. It can be said that he has ridden on a wave of east wind and may become Ni Kun's right-hand man in the future.

"Thank you, Mr. Ding!"

After the brothers finished drinking, they smashed the cups and shouted in unison.

Jiang Tiansheng smiled and replied: "Just call me Mr. Jiang."

Tai Kwun.

hall.

One by one, inspectors and superintendents entered the gate with ballots in their hands, found their seats and sat down, waiting to vote for the new union president. Deputy Commissioner of Police Management and former trade union president Ifu voluntarily withdrew from the race. There are currently two favorites in the race, one is Senior Assistant Commissioner of Hong Kong Island, Sze Kai Ming, and the other is the second-ranking Assistant Commissioner of Kowloon District, Ge Bai.

These two people represent the pro-China faction and the colonial faction, and are extremely popular within the police union. Normally, the development of the police force goes smoothly, and the candidates recommended by the former union president are bound to be popular, but Skimming rarely organizes election campaigns.

Ge Bai often went to frontline police stations to canvass for votes, and his momentum was huge, winning more people's support.

"Sir John."

"Who are you going to vote for?"

On the seat, a senior inspector held the ballot and asked in a low voice to his colleague next to him.

The colleague smiled, covered his mouth with his ballot, stepped forward and said, "Sir Gebai."

"me too."

The senior inspector smiled knowingly.

These police force representatives adopt a random rotation system, and each vote will be changed by drawing lots, but it must be guaranteed that every ten people in each department must have one vote. It is actually normal for people in Hong Kong Island to support Shi Kaiming and people in Kowloon to support Ge Bai.

As long as the officer is just too bad, the area under his jurisdiction will be an iron ticket warehouse.

Tai Kwun votes are the focus of competition.

However, before this election, Shi Keming was exposed to be suspected of falsifying accounts and was almost investigated by the corruption office. Although it was later proven that the accounts were wrong accounts from ten years ago, he also lost a lot of votes.

Ge Bai and Shi Keming were also present to witness the voting process. After all the union representatives participating in the voting arrived, they lined up and walked to the ballot box to put in their real-name votes for one of the two choices. They voted for half an hour.

Operations Department.

Office of the Chief Superintendent.

He Dingxian sat next to the coffee table, raised the teapot, and filled a row of four teacups with a set of Guan Gong patrolling the city. He put down the teapot and said, "The voting results are out."

"Congratulations."

"Sir Ge."

He Dingxian raised the teacup in front of him.

"Thank you sir for your support."

"Thank you everyone."

Ge Bai sat opposite, picked up a cup of tea, nodded and said.

Jian Baoning, Kun Xian, and Gordon sat next to each other, all with smiles on their faces. They toasted tea together and said congratulations: "Sir Ge, as the president of the union, I have to worry more about the management of the police force in the future." ”

"Congratulations to Sir Ge on your successful election. The next step is to be promoted to deputy director."

Ge Bai held the cup in both hands, drank the tea carefully, and said humbly: "There is still a lot to learn at work. I am not qualified for a higher position. Sir, please give me your advice."

He Dingxian saw the four pro-China chiefs gathered together, looking very proud, and he smiled inwardly. In fact, they were not the only ones who were proud of themselves. After the award ceremony, Yan Xiong was promoted to Superintendent of the Operations Department, becoming the second person to enter the constitutional committee level. Chinese police officer.

Lei Luo, Jiang Zuhui, Qian Weishan and others were also promoted to chief inspectors. Sham Shui Po Chinese Inspector Cai Siu-kwong was not only promoted, but also transferred to Wan Chai Police Station to serve as operations commander under Ge Bai. All the brothers were promoted, and their positions were They must be mobilized, but they have all taken a step forward.

This kind of opportunity is rare and has greatly enriched the strength of the Chinese at the middle level. Currently, the police force has more than 100 Chinese inspectors, 30 senior inspectors and two at the superintendent level. Their status and rights are far different from those five years ago. Different places.

It is obvious that through the continuous efforts of He Dingxian, the Chinese police will become the main force of the constitutional committee in the 1970s. Just like in history, a "windmill" can be used by any superintendent to control the general Chinese police. The detective spoke loudly, creating two extremes.

The support of the Xinhua faction ghost guys also paid off. Not only did they continue to sit in the position of police commissioner, they also gained the power of chairman of the labor union fund and president of the labor union. Completely throw the neo-colonialists aside and make the colonialists a wage earner.

Ge Bai's promotion to senior assistant director is a sure thing, but the position of director is a carrot and a pit. We have to wait for two or three years for someone to give up the position. The next political goal is indeed to advance to deputy director. The pro-China bureaucrats obviously wanted Ge Bai to replace Yifu. After all, Ge Bai had served in the management department for a long time and was very suitable to serve as the deputy director of management. However, Ge Bai was not sure of He Sir's intentions. Is it in line with Sir Ho's wishes for the pro-China faction to fully manage the police force?

evening.

Ni Kun drove the big boss to Liyuan East Street. After opening the car door and asking the big boss to get out of the car, he suddenly took out a handbag from the trunk, handed it to the front and said: "Big boss, my third brother has already entered the fire department to work." , assigned to East Tsim Sha Tsui District, he asked me to bring a wife cake to the big boss, a little bit of love."

He Dingxian was about to enter the house for dinner. He was quite surprised when he saw the driver's actions. He couldn't help frowning and said: "Akun, you have been with me for so long and you still don't know my character? I will be unhappy if one of you does this." of."

Ni Kun bent over and said sheepishly: "It's really just a wife cake. If the big boss doesn't accept it, I won't dare to ask you for help in the future."

"Is it really just a wife cake?"

He Dingxian said suspiciously.

Ni Kun nodded: "Really."

"That's okay."

He Dingxian took the handbag and found that it was light and fluffy. It didn't look like it contained any private goods. He felt relieved. He nodded and said, "If you have time, ask my third brother to come to my house for dinner. I'll go in first."

"good."

"Thank you, big boss."

Ni Kun's face was full of joy, he bowed again and watched He Dingxian walk into the villa. He Dingxian changed into slippers as soon as he entered the door, took out the box and put it on the table as he walked. Chu Weinan, wearing home clothes, walked out of the study and smiled when he saw this: "Axian, did you bring the cake specially for me?"

He Dingxian was not greedy for credit, but smiled and said: "It's a gift from my subordinates. If I like it, I can take it and eat it."

"You won't bite out gold, will you?"

Chu Weinan said.

He Dingxian didn't dare to agree casually, so he took out a piece of ice and took a bite. After confirming that there was no problem, he smiled and said: "It's just a cake, let's have a piece first."

"OK."

Chu Weinan picked up a piece of cake and looked at the packaging of the gift box, knowing that the other party was interested. These days, when buying wife cakes, ordinary people just wrap them in oil paper, which is easy to break. It takes a lot of effort to seal them in a special paper box.

"By the way, how do you think about what I told you last week?" Chu Weinan asked aloud while tasting the biscuits. He Dingxian thought for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay."

"Yes, young people must be willing to take responsibility." Chu Weinan showed a satisfied expression: "And among the current members of the Chamber of Commerce, you are the only one who has the honor of knighthood. The members below all hope that you will take over the position of president as soon as possible. , If you let me sit with an old bone again, the brothers will be dissatisfied."

He Dingxian shook his head: "I have relied on the Chamber of Commerce for help before, so let's just return it to the Chamber of Commerce."

Luo Wenjin is a knight in the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, but Luo Dazhuang does not hold a position in the Chamber of Commerce. He is a patron and a big boss who usually does not show up. People such as Chu Weinan, Xu Aizhou, Ma Yingbiao, Wang Laoji, etc. either have better relations with the north, or If you don't have enough political influence, you can't get a knighthood at all.

He Dingxian used the police force as a springboard to jump out of the level of the chamber of commerce and became a patron of a faction of rural party forces. However, he was only the vice president of the chamber of commerce, which was really unjustifiable in the scene.

Chu Weinan also said helplessly: "You are already the vice president after all, at least sit in the position of president. If it doesn't work, just sit for three to five years, and then hand over the position to the people under you, the Chamber of Commerce There are a lot of young people here, and they need a big boss to help them."

"I don't have much time to spend in the Chamber of Commerce. I need more help from my uncles. If I can stay as honorary president to handle some daily affairs, I may have enough time to help the Chamber of Commerce." He Dingxian spread his hands and said. "As you know, since I became the vice-president, apart from providing loans to members, I can only help my fellow villagers fight, stand up, and adjust government relations. There is really very little I can do."
