Hong Kong Island Old Events

Although the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce as an organization is not influenced by personal will, by convincing the president, it can at least guarantee the advantage over the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce within ten years, and even have the ability to interfere in the decisions of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

This will ensure that within ten years, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce will be unable to lift its head.

A week later.

He Dingxian returned to Hong Kong Island, and Qiu De even led people to Xingzhou to establish the Xingzhou Yiqun Group. Within the year, they obtained three plots of land, the largest one covering more than 3,000 acres, and the smallest one less than 100 acres, two of which The land was converted to residential use, leaving one area for commercial buildings.

The government also promulgated the latest urban construction plan, which is expected to develop a tram express line next to the large land parcel. The next year, Sin Chew Yiqun obtained a bulk commodity service license and became the only cargo delivery service company in Sin Chew.

Five years later.

"Sir, this is the list of the latest batch of graduated police officers." Yan Xiong put a document on the desktop in the office of the Chief Superintendent of Operations in Tai Kwun. He Dingxian wears a uniform and has a calm demeanor. He always sits in a high position and cultivates an aura of calmness and authority.

"Yes." He agreed with a casual expression, and then he took the list and flipped through it. The top one was this year's Silver Flute Medal winner, outstanding student Li Wenbin.

Then there are the names of Chen Jiaju, Lu Qichang, Huang Zhicheng and others.

In the past five years, the police force has continued to expand. It not only accepted all graduates of the training school, but also recruited a group of police officers from the society, expanding the number of the police force to more than 3,000, and opening a rapid promotion path. .

Those who graduate from the police academy will be awarded the title of sergeant, and the first-place finisher will be awarded the title of trainee inspector with the Silver Flute Award.

The top leaders of the Hong Kong government obviously want to slowly marginalize the old-school figures in the police force by absorbing new forces. This is a way of cutting flesh with a soft knife. Even if the Chinese in the police force can understand it, they will not do anything extreme.

Because the new generation of police officers are also mainly Chinese. If the contradiction between the old and the new becomes fierce, it will only make the ghost guy happy.

He Dingxian opened the file and flipped through the pages. When his name fell on Li Ying, he lost interest and put the file down casually: "Transfer Li Wenbin to the serious crime team, and the others will be arranged as usual."

"Yes, sir!"

Yan Xiong replied solemnly.

In the past few years, He Dingxian has seen too many future strongmen join the police force. It can only be said that after the restructuring of the police force in the 1970s, it entered an explosive period of Chinese officials. Most of the well-known senior officials and inspectors in the 1980s and 1990s were in the police force. They joined the police force in the mid-1960s, and a few joined it after the restructuring in the 1970s.

As the number of police officers increases, the network of relationships behind them also becomes complex. It can be seen that there are Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, Gui Lao, and Yingpai Chinese. In subdivisions, there are also second-generation police officers, academics, action groups, and special recruitment. .

As an area with the largest ratio of police to civilians, Hong Kong Island's population has increased by less than one million in five years, and it currently has less than three million people.

"The police force will expand to more than 20,000 people in the 1980s, and to 30,000 people after entering the new millennium." He Dingxian knew clearly: "Where are we now? There are more and more people and more and more power. On the contrary, it is becoming more and more difficult to hold real power.”

"This is Governor Bai's method, to dilute power and introduce competition."

This method is not uncommon, but if you want to use this method, you need extremely high economic growth as a condition. It takes money to support the assirs. How much salary do more than 3,000 police officers get per year, let alone more than 30,000 police officers?

All we can say is that Baisir’s economy is indeed doing well.

Moreover, he only engaged in economics and did not interfere with the power of the police force, so he could not find fault even if he wanted to. After all, the expansion of the police force was beneficial to most middle-level police officers. The more people under his supervision, the louder his speech would naturally be.

Being an errand is a high-paying industry.

Young people rushed to do it.

When the police officers at the middle and lower levels were all smiles, He Dingxian couldn't even take action on the senior officers, so he had to silently accept the changes of the times.

But he also felt a sense of crisis!

Because, with the rapid economic growth, the population has gone to work, and the influence of Jianghu has also begun to decline. Black and white are just like pros and cons. As white becomes larger, black will naturally shrink. In fact, the 1950s and 1960s were the most fanatical years for Hong Kong's social groups. After entering the 1970s, things began to cool down. The young and Dangerous boys on the streets in the 1980s were really just young and Dangerous boys.

Those people not only have no future, but also have no brains, background, and means. All of them have been cleared and come ashore, either as justices of the peace or as big bosses. He Dingxian's net worth has tripled in five years, but his fee income has only tripled.

This is because he has great influence. He holds the cigarette license, the wharf, and is in charge of the stables. For example, gambling stalls, loan sharks, etc. not only did not grow, but the market even shrank somewhat. Some societies that rely solely on one industry to extract water can make a fortune while others can barely make ends meet.

But as the number of police forces continues to grow, there is not enough money.

The old man refused to score less.

Newcomers want more points.

"The era of the money empire is coming to an end. The good times are about to pass, but instead a reckoning is coming. Social contradictions are concealed by economic growth, but power contradictions are highlighted when the economy stagnates. They will become more and more intense. As expected, all politics are accompanied by Following the laws of economics, Bai Liji applied economic means to power." Thinking of this, He Dingxian couldn't help but fall silent: "Those below want to rise to power, and the best way is to clean up those above."

"If the old man doesn't die, how can the newcomer come forward?"

"What's the next step?"

He glanced at Yan Xiong and knew that it would be difficult for old people such as Yan Xiong and Lei Luo to spend the next ten years safely. Firstly, they were full of misdeeds and crimes. Secondly, they had reached their age. The best time to get out.

He Dingxian's only advantage is that he is young, but as the shaper of a money empire, he will be impacted the most strongly in the future. Moreover, his position has remained unchanged in the past five years and he still has not reached the director level. This shows that Bai Liji is deliberately restrained.

How to let the brothers ashore safely and end with dignity, and how to let one's power pass through the torrent and extend to the next era?

"Sir, has the new director been chosen?" Yan Xiong saw that the chief was silent, so he gathered up his courage and said tentatively: "The brothers below are talking a lot, and many people say that Sir will continue to be re-elected. "

"No matter what is said below, the decision from above is the most important."

He Dingxian replied coldly.

"yes."

"Sir!" Yan Xiong said with his chest raised.

He Dingxian's eyes circled around him and he said in a relaxed tone: "I know brothers have a bit of a disagreement in recent years, but just because you rose quickly in the past few years, it doesn't mean you will always be faster. At that time, there were more than a thousand Chinese police officers in Hong Kong. We don’t even have the rank of inspector, so we still live our lives as usual?”

"Are you in such a hurry to create a police commissioner?"

He rolled his eyes at Yan Xiong: "No matter whether Sir Kin is re-elected or not, the news will be announced in two months at the latest. The Hong Kong Island Police Force is still in my hands and nothing can change the situation."

"Yes, Sir He, I'm going out first." Yan Xiong knew that the commander was in a bad mood. He had no idea that he was worried about them, so he immediately saluted and turned around to leave. He Dingxian looked at the old brothers who were becoming ambitious, and suddenly felt that they had been arrogant for several years and were used to it. Do you really think they would be prosperous for the rest of their lives?

When the power of social groups is declining, the police force system will also become standardized, because the police force and the social groups are all in the same market. As the social groups began to decline in a few years, the four major social groups began to transform and become more serious.

Some registered construction companies, some opened chain screening stores, some monopolized newspaper wholesale, and the big bosses in the metal appliance recycling industry all sensed something was wrong. Do the old brothers who came out of Yau Ma Tei still want to have an iron job?

It's not that there is no chance, but with this kind of mentality, you are definitely dead. But he tried to persuade him several times but to no avail. Let me ask you, the paper strength has been rising and the money is getting more and more. Who would be prepared for danger in times of peace? As we enjoy ourselves day after day, we take it for granted that things will remain the same throughout our lives.

He Dingxian couldn't guarantee whether he could maintain a sense of crisis if he didn't have the foresight. In the past two years, the brothers below have also criticized him for not being promoted to the director level. After all, the Chinese saw him breaking the official barrier once, so they naively thought he could break it a second time. If he can maintain the pace of progress and be promoted to Assistant Commissioner in the past few years, and then one level up in two years, it is indeed possible that he will be elected as the Chinese Commissioner. By then, he will become the first Chinese Police Commissioner in history, and his staff will be able to fill the position. Take over his class step by step.

But this kind of template is extremely rare to appear among the Chinese police officers in Hong Kong, unless they are the Chinese Commissioner appointed by Guilao Government Affairs.

Even if he was promoted to Assistant Commissioner last year, he may still be elected as Commissioner of Police next term. The brothers will still be happy. The brothers are a little disappointed that he has not broken this barrier for five consecutive years. As everyone knows, He Dingxian is not incompetent, but maintains a tacit understanding of peace with the Governor's Mansion. Otherwise, how many brothers would have died in five years? In the context of the great expansion of the police force, if a brother under his command dies, his position will be filled by someone else.

What's the point of being an Assistant Commissioner, Deputy Commissioner, or even Police Commissioner at that time? If you have no one to use, your power will be stolen. If you are not a puppet, others will use you as a puppet. He Dingxian has been screening available young people for training in recent years, hoping to use new forces to ensure that the elderly have a decent ending and escort the brothers.

He finally figured it out. Only from new political forces can new political life burst out, but it takes time to cultivate a new class, and it also requires means to replace the old forces. But now the attitudes of Yan Xiong, Lei Luo, Jiang Zuhui and others made him realize that the current positions were no longer enough. In the next stage, he had to take a step forward and recruit new people.

"It has become a tacit understanding among the top management of Gui Lao not to allow Chinese people to enter the director level, regardless of faction." He Dingxian felt a little uncomfortable. If he is not of my race, his heart must be different, and he cannot raise a loyal dog. He took a sip of water, put down the cup, walked out of the operations department, and came to the door of the police commissioner's office.
