Rebirth, I am the most powerful business tycoon

In 1986, Xiangjiang filmed a business war TV series called”The Barefoot Gentleman”.

The drama stars singer Lu Fang and then-A-list actress Zhou Heimei.

The general plot of the story is”A poor boy embraces a beautiful woman”. From a poor boy who couldn’t even wear shoes and couldn’t afford to eat in order to drive a rickshaw, he could only drink tap water, he became a business tycoon and then became a famous person in Hong Kong.”Justice of the Peace”.

Many mainlanders know that the term”justice of the peace” comes from this drama and know that this”official position” is very powerful.

In fact, the power of the Justice of the Peace among the people in Hong Kong is really great.

There are three types of justices of the peace: official justices of the peace, non-official justices of the peace, and New Territories justices of the peace. The three types only differ in the procedures and conditions for their creation, and there is no difference in functions and status.

The above three titles were used until the last conferment before the return.

It is completely different from the value of the Justice of the Peace after the return.

After returning, it is just a matter of reputation.

Before this, Justices of the Peace had great power.

The most familiar job of Justices of the Peace is to visit prisons and receive and follow up on complaints from prisoners.

There is a classic scene in Hong Kong prison movies where the Justice of the Peace visits the prison. The prison administrators will gather the prisoners and say,”The Justice of the Peace is visiting the warehouse (prison). What are the complaints?”

In addition, in Hong Kong very early At that time, mainly in the 1950s and 1960s, justices of the peace even had the power to interrogate and handle cases.

For example, the Hong Kong biographical film”Four Families” starring veteran Hong Kong stars Zheng Shi and Lu Liangwei.

In this play, the Justice of the Peace has great power.

They can throw anyone they don’t like into jail at any time if they want, without the possibility of bail.

At the same time, they can also easily get people from prison, in the name of having a”Justice of the Peace as a guarantee.”

Generally speaking, people who can become justices of the peace in Hong Kong have great wealth, strong connections, and wide connections. Coupled with these legal powers, they can simply cover the sky with one hand in that special era in Hong Kong.

Even now, as Hong Kong has entered a new era, the Justices of the Peace are no longer as powerful as they were in the 1950s and 1960s, but they still have a formidable status.

Therefore, many times some government agencies such as Heung Kong Prison and the Education Department are very afraid of these Justices of the Peace.

Every time the Justice of the Peace visits, all members will be dispatched, which is as majestic as the”eight case governor” in the play.

In reality, the justice of the peace system in Hong Kong has lasted for more than a hundred years, but not many Chinese have obtained this title. Roughly calculated, there are only thirty-eight people in total.

In other words, in the past 160 years, only 38 Chinese have received the honor of”Justice of the Peace”.

Therefore, every time the honor of”Justice of the Peace” comes out, the competition will be extremely fierce.

As the helmsman of the Xiangjiang Jiang Clan and the leader of the business, media and technology circles in Xiangjiang, he had just finished discussing the matter with Wang Donglai. He never expected that at this time, he would suddenly be taken over by the Xiangjiang Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and Xiangjiang Charity. The Federation, the Heung Kong Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce, and the Heung Kong Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce jointly nominated him as a candidate for”Justice of the Peace”, and he is also the”only” candidate!

To a certain extent, obtaining a Justice of the Peace is equivalent to the Eagle Country government recognizing your strength.

For Jiang Feng, it was a surprise that he was nominated as a”Justice of the Peace” candidate by the Hong Kong Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, the Hong Kong Charity Federation, the Real Estate Construction Association, etc., and that he was the only candidate.

But you can understand it if you think about it carefully.

After all, Jiang Feng is the honorary consultant and honorary president of the Chamber of Commerce. He is so powerful and is the number one Chinese-owned family in Xiangjiang.

As for the Charity Federation, it is because Jiang Feng’s personal foundation and his companies donate no less than 30 million Hong Kong dollars to charitable organizations every year.

Whether they were reciprocating the favor or hoping to get closer to Jiang Feng, they were prompted to do so.

As for the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce.

As the executive president of the Chamber of Commerce, Li Jiacheng had no choice but to nominate Jiang Feng as a”Justice of the Peace” because Li Jiacheng had already been appointed a”Justice of the Peace” in 1981 and was named”Lord” by Belgium in 1986. He already had several awards The aura adds to the body.

His son had just had a bad relationship with Jiang Feng, so he would not nominate him.

But I can’t stand up to the suggestions within the Chamber of Commerce.

After taking control of Huifeng Bank and Hang Seng Bank, Jiang Feng was no longer on the same level as them.

Whether it is Li Zhaoji, Stanley Ho, Guo Desheng or Li Jiacheng themselves, real estate development has a high debt ratio, and many times they need to find bank loans to tide over difficulties.

And Jiang Feng controls Huifeng Bank, the largest bank in Hong Kong.

It also controls Hang Seng Bank and 50.29% of Wing On Bank.

It can be said that Jiang Feng controls more than 80% of the Hong Kong banking market.

The rest are some small banking companies such as Standard Chartered Bank and Kowloon Bank.

Standard Chartered’s assets are limited, less than one-third of Huifeng’s.

A loan of tens of millions from Standard Chartered, or two to three hundred million Hong Kong dollars would be fine.

For large amounts of money, such as 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, this is impossible.

Even if Standard Chartered can take it out, it will not lend it out.

After all, I borrowed it, what if there is a run on it?

At that time, the Chinese-owned banks headed by Hang Seng were destroyed by the run.

Therefore, based on these various reasons, people from the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce and even the Xiangjiang Zhongmei General Chamber of Commerce were forced to nominate candidates for”Justice of the Peace”.

Even if Li Jiacheng disagrees, he can’t go against everyone. In that case, he won’t have to hang out in Xiangjiang.

The women who were waiting for Jiang Feng were all overjoyed after learning that Jiang Feng was nominated as a candidate for”Justice of the Peace”.

Said to be a candidate.

In fact, it is no different from a ‘Justice of the Peace’.

Because there is only one Justice of the Peace candidate this time, Jiang Feng.

No one dares to compete with him.

Of course there is no suspense.

Because he is the only candidate for”Justice of the Peace”, even though the Eagle Country government is very reluctant to put this”halo” on Song Zhichao.

All along, the”Justices of the Peace” awarded by the Eagle Kingdom government have been”one of our own people,” that is, Chinese capitalists who are closer to the Eagle Kingdom government.

The representative figure is Li Jiacheng.

Li Jiacheng was awarded the title of Justice of the Peace in 1981, the CBE in 1987, and the KBE in 2000!

Behind this, Li Jiacheng invested heavily in Eagle Country.

Its amount reaches nearly one trillion Hong Kong dollars.

Huifeng Bank, which had nothing to do with the Eagle Kingdom government and even annexed British capital, like Jiang Feng, had always been left out.

But this time there is no way.

There are no other candidates.

He could only hang the title on Jiang Feng helplessly.

The Eagle Country government is not happy.

But Wei Yixin doesn’t have so many ideas. In his opinion, this is a good opportunity to win over Jiang Feng, and maybe he will be grateful to him.

Choose a day and let the government organize the awarding ceremony.

As long as Jiang Feng completes preparations and sends a reply, this term of”Justice of the Peace” will be decided……..

Originally, Jiang Feng scorned this ‘Justice of the Peace’. After all, he was about to return, so there was no use for him anymore.

But for the people around Jiang Feng, especially his women, they hope that Jiang Feng can get it. After all, it represents glory. If Jiang Feng becomes a JP (the abbreviation of Justice of the Peace), then he will also be honored.

Once Jiang Feng obtained the status of ‘Justice of the Peace’, the Jiang family was officially promoted to a wealthy family.

Rather, like the upstarts before.

There is a difference between the two.

Before, everyone admired Jiang Feng’s ability to make money, but in their hearts they thought he was a nouveau riche….

Just like the aristocratic families of later generations look down on those coal mining bosses.
