Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 33 Stand out

"Master, when will the apprenticeship banquet be held?" He Dingxian readily agreed without hesitation.

The position of a Yau Ma Tei police chief can already earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars every month. He is considered a middle-level representative of the Chinese in Hong Kong Island.

If only I could get the position of Inspector Zonghua.

That's the ticket to the big boss circle.

However, being the Sheriff of District 1 is enough to change the status of a poor boy. You can even describe it as a sparrow turning into a phoenix!

Chen Lize laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha, you stinky boy, forget it, I don't have a professional title, so there is no need to hold a apprenticeship banquet."

"Just remember that you have me as your master in the future."

Master and master are as different as one word.

The master only teaches the craftsmanship, while the master teaches the profession, provides resources, money, and helps the disciples to rise to the top. The master's kindness is like that of a father.

But Chen Li said with great magnanimity: "The position of a Yau Ma Tei Sheriff will definitely not limit you. If you just rely on the movie store business, it will be no problem to buy a Yau Ma Tei Sheriff in the future."

"I don't have much to pass on to you. I just come here often to drink and drink tea, and get along as brothers."

"There are no apprenticeship banquets, apprenticeship ceremonies, tea and incense, let alone kneeling to me."

He felt he couldn't bear it.

"I just really like you and thought you would be able to stand out, so I let you take advantage of me. I hope I can support you further in the future."

He Dingxian understood in his heart: "I used Chen Li's influence before, and now Chen Li plans to invest in me and give me political resources. The title of master is just a moral contract. It will be repaid in the future, but it is more than a simple exchange of benefits." There is more morality.”

"In Chinese culture, bullying one's masters and destroying one's ancestors, betraying one's masters and forgetting the scriptures are heinous crimes. Once they occur, it means bankruptcy of credibility. The more prestigious people are, the less they dare to do it. Otherwise, they will be stabbed in the spine for a lifetime. No matter how successful they are, they will be scorned by others. !”

It's just that because he has already established a foundation, even if he comes to the door with empty hands, the master's authority cannot be established.

into a more purely political investment.

There is no need to bow down in front of Chen Li like a true disciple. However, this simple political investment can also be said to be a more sincere feeling.

The debt of gratitude has also become heavier.

It can only be said that none of the Chinese who can get ahead are stupid. Perhaps Chen Li had guessed early on that He Dingxian would have to pay the price for taking advantage of the situation, and had already prepared for He Dingxian to take advantage of the situation...

If he relied on Chen Li to survive, he might really have to kneel down, kowtow, serve tea and burn incense.

Sure enough, people still have to rely on themselves. He is more comfortable with independent cooperation and is willing to accept it. However, at this time, he acted very respectfully. He brought a pot of hot tea from the stall and filled it with a sincere expression. He sincerely saluted the superior with both hands: "Master, you still have to drink a cup of tea."

"This is etiquette."

Chen Li took the tea cup with one hand, lowered his head and took a sip with a very satisfied expression.

He Dingxian added: "The apprenticeship banquet must also be held."

"This is the rule."

Chen Li's eyelids moved, he held the hot tea, raised his eyes to look at him, and said with an interesting smile: "I knew this cup of tea would not be that easy to drink."

The apprenticeship banquet is essentially a process in which the master introduces social connections and political resources to the apprentice, and also informs relatives and friends about the apprenticeship. The ceremony is more important than the banquet itself.

Although Chen Li would have introduced political resources to He Dingxian even if there was no apprenticeship banquet, He Dingxian felt that a apprenticeship banquet was needed.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Chen Li's character, it's mainly because people who have been to northern Burma never see rabbits and don't let go of hawks.

No one can lie to him!

"Then it will be on the third day of next month."

Chen Li set a time.

In the Xinmao year of the lunar calendar, in the Jiawu month, Wuyin day, and the third day of June, it is appropriate to open a business, break ground, get married, build a house, and avoid housewarming, beaming, and fasting.

It was already half a month after the Ningbo Association Dinner. All 23 dollar stores in Kowloon had been completed, including three in Yau Ma Tei, four in Kowloon Tong, two in Sham Shui Po, five in Tsim Sha Tsui, and two in Tsim Sha Tsui. Mong Kok, one in Tsuen Wan...

The movie store company rented a house on Boundary Street as an office. The entire company has ninety-five helpers and clerks, including four for each store, including a general manager, a deputy general manager, and a financial manager. The general manager is led by Lard. Zai serves as the deputy general manager, Wu Shihao serves as the deputy general manager, and a very unexpected candidate "Qiu Degeng" serves as the financial manager.

In fact, on the night of the dinner, Qiu Degen was asked to leave by Shao Zuiweng. On the one hand, he helped Qiu Degen wipe out the bank's debt and saved Qiu Degen's life. On the other hand, he also let Qiu Degen, who was very capable, supervise the accounts of the movie store. , it is a good move.

He Dingxian and Qiu Degen had a grudge, and the movie store was a cash business, so its accounts could easily be hacked. As long as Qiu Degen was around, he could target the movie store.

He Dingxian didn't have the confidence to challenge Shao Zuiweng. Seeing that 300,000 venture capital allowed the movie store to expand rapidly and take over the entire Kowloon market, he didn't care about Shao Zuiweng for the time being.

In Shanghai Street, Chenghua Restaurant, after a burst of firecrackers and loud gongs and drums, the entire restaurant was booked and an apprenticeship banquet with a total of twenty-three tables began.

Lardboy was wearing a yellow floral shirt, with the buttons loosened to reveal a white undershirt. The armpit hair below the elbows was not shaved clean, but the hair on his head was neatly combed, and his temples were neatly trimmed with hair oil. A man with a rich and generous back, looking so bloated and handsome, with a smile on his face is really a joy to see.

When Qian Weishan, Daji, A Le, Yaohui, Shapi and other police officers in military uniforms and plainclothes teams stepped into the door of the restaurant, they all shook hands with him respectfully and said: "Brother Lard."

Lardboy, who manages 23 movie studios and has hundreds of workers, has already transformed into a company manager with a higher social status than the uniformed team leader. Each person earns more than a thousand dollars a month and lives a prosperous life. Guang, Qian Weishan, Daji and others were so jealous that they were waiting for Chief He to take them to heaven when he was promoted next time.

They don't care about business, but if they take care of a street's gambling stalls, a street's opium dens, horse stables, and even public toilets, they can get a lot of extra money.

"Today is Brother Xian's big day, and it's also a good day for Chief Chen. Brothers, please guard the door carefully and don't let the bastards come in and disturb the venue." Lard Boy told Wu Shijie to see that all the guests had come. It was almost done, so he turned around and walked into the restaurant. Wu Shijie was wearing short-sleeved shorts and a dagger on his waist. He was guarding the door with more than a dozen brothers from the studio. The helpers in the studio were all from the Chaoshan hometown of Shik Kipwei. This person regards the prosperous Brother Hao as his idol and Brother Xian as his food and clothing parent. Invisibly, he has the spirit of forming a gang!

He Dingxian never thought about setting up a club in the company, but as the number of people in the company gradually breaks down into hierarchies, a group will gradually form with a flag. A chaotic and disorderly society has only appearances. The law also tells them that if they want a future and stand out, they must be brave enough, ruthless enough, and risk their lives. Naturally, many associations will be born.

Fortunately, the association in his movie store is still a hometown association for food.

When the government order loses its effect, the underground order will take its place...

He Dingxian knelt on the knee pad in a polite manner, and respectfully put the incense on the Daguan statue on the sacred table. Then he stood up and inserted the incense into the copper stove. He turned around and took the tea from Wu Shihao, holding it with one hand. Holding the saucer, he flicked the hem of his gown with a wave of his hand, and with a solemn expression, he offered tea with a solemn expression and said: "Master, please drink tea!"
