History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 158 Licensed Societies
Wearing a jacket and smoking a cigarette, Wu Shihao hurriedly walked into a tea restaurant, pulled the gate firmly, turned around and bowed to greet him: "Brother Xian."

He Dingxian sat behind a square table in the tea restaurant, drinking iced lemon tea, beckoning: "Sit down and chat."

Yan Xiong, Ah Gui, and Chen Zichao led a group of police officers and sat at three tables next to them.

Wu Shihao sat down in a full posture, with a cautious face, received the menu handed over by the boss, and said casually: "One serving of pork chop rice."

"No problem." He Dingxian handed the menu to his subordinates, and naturally someone would arrange it, and he said: "I talked with the major associations yesterday, and I will divide the entire territory of Hong Kong in the future. Are there any groups interested in entering Central?" .”

Wu Shihao showed ecstasy: "Thank you brother Xian, Yiqun's brothers will definitely do it!"

Now Yiqun has expanded to more than 2000 people. It has sites in four districts in Kowloon, mainly engaged in fruit wholesale, electrical retail, gambling stalls, flower stalls and dog fighting.

"Okay, Wanchai will be allocated two streets for you first, and work hard." He Dingxian encouraged him.

Wu Shihao hurriedly said: "I must live up to Brother Xian's care, Brother Xian, is there anything I can help you with?"

His eyes brightened: "Although Yiqun is not a big society in Hong Kong Island, it is not a small prefix without a name. We have more than 2000 people, but all of us have been to Southeast Asia. I raised a baby at the pier in Thailand. A batch of Thai guys who can be transferred to Hong Kong Island at any time."

He Dingxian smiled: "Why do you think that I want your help to take [-] people to Daxinji, Daheji, Daquan?"

Wu Shihao took the pork chop rice presented by the waiter, took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks holder, tapped them to align on the plate, and said with a silly smile: "Brother Xian, you asked the eight dragon heads to have dinner yesterday, and the whole world knows that the eight dragon heads bowed their heads. knew."

"Everyone in the world praises you for your skills, Bhagavan!"

He Dingxian took a sip of lemon tea, smiled and said nothing.

Wu Shihao ate two bites of food, and continued: "Our Yiqun started with you again, just like Liangongle back then, who doesn't know that there is a police badge on the back of the signboard?"

"I am yours."

"If you want to fight, be sure to define the group first, otherwise, the brothers will feel uneasy when they go to Central to search for water."

He Dingxian opened his mouth and replied: "The fight is definitely going to be fought. I just suppressed eight people temporarily, but I didn't fight so fast. I let you enter the Central District just because you said that there is a police badge on the back of the Yiqun sign. I should take it for granted." Take care."

"Boss, just don't forget me." Wu Shihao said.

"Hehe, the main reason is that I didn't even think about who to hit." He Dingxian picked up the cloth, wiped his hands and said, "I've been hitting the Dongguan Gang all the time, so I can always fight back?"

"The Daquan Gang, Xinji, and Heji have tens of thousands of people. It's not good to fight on the street, but you can fight on the pier."

"They will never hand over the dock easily, you have to be prepared."

Wu Shihao immediately understood that the big boss is ready to fight a big fight and destroy a big name, rather than a hundred people on the street showing off horses and fighting casually.

Calling him here today is to give benefits first, so that he knows what to expect.

Wu Shihao nodded immediately: "I know, big boss, the brothers will definitely not let you down."

He Dingxian nodded slightly, and promised: "If the wharf can be clarified, I will definitely find two largest wharves in Kowloon to start work for you."

Wu Shihao said solemnly: "Thank you, boss."

end of the month.

Qiu Degeng sat on the second floor of Dongfang Bank and said aloud: "So far, the street stalls in each district have been clarified. According to the wishes of the big boss, the land has been adjusted slightly. In addition to allowing Yiqun to enter Wanchai, Heji is in Kowloon. Tang’s territory expanded slightly, Chao Yiyong took five streets in the east of Tsim Sha Tsui, Dongyi Church divided into two streets in Admiralty, and Xinji took more rural stalls...”

Because all Hong Kong associations are in one pot, after the eight major associations bow their heads, the remaining small associations will have no chance to resist.

This led He Dingxian to be qualified to make a fuss about the entire territory of Hong Kong Island. The final result is that Hong Kong Island is so big, but there are still so many clubs.

There is only one more righteous group.

In fact, the interests of the major associations have not suffered a major loss in terms of stalls.

This point is expected by the police force and the rivers and lakes. What the community really refuses to give up is the pier. He Dingxian must secure the land on the shore. After a little preparation, he will go to take the pier site.

Most importantly, he had to use the first month's fee to silence the ghost, lest the ghost see the gunshot and deliberately find fault with the matter.

However, He Dingxian used the method of exchanging sites and dismantling the stalls, deliberately stumbling the major clubs.

For example, when Chao Yiyong entered East Tsim Sha Tsui, he could only do the business of Ma Lan, but the gambling stalls belonged to Dong Yee Tong, and Dong Yee Tong's site in Sham Shui Po was handed over to the number gang to take care of it.

Although they are all trading small for big and poor for rich, on the surface it is profitable, but it makes the map of Hong Kong Island's power in the rivers and lakes no longer a block, but a criss-cross pattern in the three major districts, which check and balance each other. situation.

In Feishui District, there are at least three associations on a piece of land, and the number of small associations in Central has as many as sixteen. Some associations manage a business, and some associations manage a business. After crossing the end of a street, you immediately enter the next The site of a community.

Break the original structure of the clubs, let the clubs fight each other, and make it easier for the police to control the clubs!

Although sporadic fights on the streets may break out, but Inspector Hua can suppress them. Will the young and Dangerous guys still be able to fight the police force in the future?

"Well, it's good that the eight major clubs can cooperate, but the eight major clubs are still too many." He Dingxian sighed, and if there is a chance in the future, it will be split up. Just one big circle will not be enough!
People from the Northeast and Northwest all have to have a signboard!

The light is peaceful and lonely.

Xinshenghesheng!

Does it sound more majestic?

There are so many characters in the number, how can everyone listen to the words of the second-generation young master?Back then, you conquered the country!

Not to mention water houses, with 6 or [-] people, there must be at least seven or eight faucets, right?

He Dingxian has experienced the subtlety of fragmented management every day in his previous life, and it can be said that he can use it at his fingertips. The management philosophy engraved in his bones...

"Let the following Detective Hua, urge all associations to change their stalls before the end of the month as soon as possible. If there are any who have not changed, call them directly, and they will not be able to report to the serious crimes team."

"This month's fee will be collected according to this month's account, and next month, it will be collected according to the new site's account." He Dingxian said.

Qiu De nodded in agreement: "No problem."

Oriental Bank has opened its first branch in Central, which is located on Man Cheung Street in Wanchai Ring Road, the future international financial center.

Now the key is how to divide the four cigarette licenses in Hong Kong.

He Dingxian pinched his mouth with his fingers and fell into deep thought.

Eight big clubs, four cigarette cards, two fight for one, just reflects the scarcity of cigarette cards, can use cigarette cards to do things for big clubs, but if only four cards are issued, half of the clubs will be driven to the opposite side !
Each of the eight clubs has cigarette stalls!

No one is willing to give up buying big cigarettes, because big cigarettes are really making money, killing them in one go will only make the black smoke stalls develop...

At the same time, Europe and the United States have enacted laws to prohibit the cultivation of smoky earth pigments. Hong Kong Island is a transit point for Southeast Asian opium to be exported to Europe and the United States. Tobacco licenses are not only related to cigarette stalls, but also related to smuggling rights.

Qiu De offered a cup of hot tea and quietly left the room.

Three days later, a shocking news came out that Three Flags issued four cigarette cards, which were obtained by Chao Yiyong, Number Gang, Heji, and Xinji.

There are four cigarette cards, each of which can be disassembled into two decks, which are opened in Kowloon and the New Territories respectively.

This means that there are actually [-] cigarette licenses in Hong Kong. If the person who holds the main license cannot satisfy the market in the three districts, he can rent the second license to others.

Give the big club a chance!
In this operation, He Dingxian can use the four main cards to trend the four major clubs and balance each other without offending other big clubs.

Do you want cigarette cards?
It's not that I didn't post it, I went to the four major associations to get a license. Anyway, at most three shops in each district started construction, which effectively controlled the development of cigarette stalls.

And there is no society in Hong Kong that can eat cigarette stalls in three districts at once!

That is to say, the four major licensed associations must cooperate with other associations in order to spread the goods to the whole Hong Kong. Those who are willing to operate can cooperate with each other. Give all the areas that cannot be sold to other associations.

In this way, the four major licensed associations get the most of the money, and other associations also benefit from it. He Dingxian is completely fair, just, and open.

If there is a contradiction, resolve it yourself.

During a chat, Sir He and Inspector Lei said: "The license plate is really a good thing, the game is all up to the dealer."

"Most of the time, a few licenses can control the entire market, and the people below can only bite dogs."

Because behind the license plate is power and the embodiment of force!
Those who are more powerful, in order to hold a license, have to review their qualifications in several rounds, and then let qualified people bid for the auction, and a large sum of money will be credited after several rounds of auctions.

He Dingxian has not yet reached the point of issuing licenses and collecting rent, and it is exhausted to be able to collect power and issue licenses, so he showed mercy and let everyone be exempted from paying rent first.

Just pump the water.

end of the month.

A Chevrolet drove into Tai Kwun and stopped under the awning. Lard boy pushed open the door, stood straight and pulled at the hem of his clothes. He was confidently about to take a step, but suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly bent back into the car, took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on. Then he opened the rear door, bent down and took out two suitcases.

A car next to him stopped behind him. Four police officers from the serious crime team with submachine guns on their shoulders pushed the door and got out of the car. Each of them carried two suitcases in their hands. A group of people nodded to each other and hurried into the hall. Inside the building.

On the third floor, in the office of the Chief of Serious Cases, He Dingxian looked away from the window, turned around and returned to his work station, picked up the guest cup, made a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Lard Boy after he entered the door, saying, "Thanks for your hard work. "

Zhu Youzai took off his sunglasses, took the teacup with both hands, and said respectfully: "Brother Xian, it's just a little thing. Thanks to you, the money has been collected smoothly."

"The first month of the serious crime team, 230 million Hong Kong dollars!"

He Dingxian sat on the sofa: "Is it only 230 million?"

Lardboy's expression froze for a moment, and he realized that when brother Xian was opening a stall recently, the clubs probably charged a lot of benefits!

He laughed and said, "Brother Xian, 230 million is quite a lot, which is 80 more than the Criminal Division of Tai Kwun!"
