History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 206 Election for Director

He Dingxian sat on the chair, opened the iron box, and sniffed a scent with the tip of his nose: "The best Tieguanyin!"

Standing in front of him, Ge Bai praised vigorously: "Sir He really is a person who understands tea, he has good eyesight."

"It says so on the lid."

He Dingxian covered the tin box, put it in the cabinet, stood up with a smile and said, "Ge sir, what's the matter for coming to the office today to find me?"

He invited Ge Bai to sit on the sofa, poured a cup of hot tea, and bent over to place it in front of Ge Bai. Ge Bai actually did as the Romans did. He tapped the table three times, kowtowed, and then drank the tea and sighed: "Why? Sir, Ifu sir invites you to see the Night Horse tonight."

"Are you interested?"

He Ding lifted Erlang's legs and lit a cigar, and agreed loudly: "Yes, I really like watching night horses, nervous and exciting!"

"Let's go together that night."

Ge Bai laughed twice.

He Dingxian still followed the usual rules, took out a small bag of money from the cabinet, put it in a yellow paper bag and handed it forward: "Ge sir"

"Eh!"

Ge Bai refused his money for the first time, and shouted: "I haven't finished eating the specialties at home. Since I gave it last time, I don't need it this time."

"We are all friends."

Ge Bai stood up with a smile: "The Finance Department still has some accounts to settle, so I'm leaving first."

He Dingxian was a little surprised, put away the purse, and got up quickly: "Ge sir, I'll see you off."

"Need not."

"Need not."

Ge Bai turned and left, which made He Dingxian a little uncomfortable, turned his head to look at the tea table, and muttered: "It's not polite to finish the tea."

In fact, the peninsula's victory in the first battle is not only good for the Chinese, but it is also good for Ge Bai and other ghosts who have interests in collusion with the Chinese.

night.

He Dingxian came to Happy Valley by car, led several team members all the way to the door of a VIP box under the guidance of the waiter.Several British police officers in suits, sunglasses, and guns on their waists raised their hands to stop everyone, and the waiter pushed the door of the box room open. Chief Yifu who was standing inside turned his head and nodded slightly: "What? Sir, please come in."

Several British police officers lowered their arms and moved aside. When He Dingxian entered the box, Chen Zichao and others also stayed outside. If I remember correctly, it was also in this box that I first met Sir Mai.

"Sir!"

He Dingxian entered the box, closed the wide wooden door, stood at attention and saluted, and shouted solemnly.

Yifu was wearing a suit, smiling all over his face, waving his hands and saying, "Come out to play in private, don't be so polite."

When He Dingxian lowered his arms and nodded slightly, Ge Bai came forward just in time and handed him a glass of red wine: "He sir, let's have a look at the horses, taste the wine, and try the cigars."

"There's nothing interesting on Hong Kong Island, so relax."

Ge Bai patted He Dingxian on the shoulder and led him into the group of ghosts. In fact, there were only two officers, Ge Bai and Yifu, in the box, and there was no extra police ghost. It seemed like a very private meeting .

A few foreign girls in red dresses with blond hair and big waves are beautiful, standing beside them pouring wine and laughing, providing services, including special services of course
Among these foreign girls are Caucasians, Spaniards, and Maomei who come to earn foreign exchange.

All of them are in excellent shape.

He Dingxian knew that Guilao knew how to play, so he immediately stepped forward to toast: "Sir Yifu, which horse do you like today?"

Yifu was smoking a cigar, looking at the racecourse, where the jockey was taking his position.

"I think No. 9 is a possibility."

He Dingxian was already prepared, turned around and shouted loudly: "A Chao, win on the 9th tonight!"

"Sir, buy one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars!"

Chen Zichao quickly replied, "Yes, sir."

Immediately, under Yifu's astonished gaze, the Chinese policeman turned and left, and Ge Bai also admired He Dingxian's boldness.The further back a gambling activity is, the more censorship methods there are, and the more difficult it is to operate in the dark.At this stage, the Jockey Club is still very easy to carry out insider operations, provided that enough Hong Kong dollars are spent, which is several times more Hong Kong dollars than the prize money of a horse race.

To control a horse race in later generations, not only need to form a club, buy jockeys, but also bribe the Jockey Club Supervision Department and so on.

Due to the huge cost and no profit, basically no one has bribed horse racing.

Today, He Dingxian said in one sentence that he was prepared and came with sincerity. Sometimes, you don’t need to give money to a certain person, but you only need to spend your life for a certain person. That is also a kind of full sincerity .

He Dingxian couldn't figure out Yifu's attitude, if he dared to carry a cash box into battle, of course it would be more circuitous.

Yifu raised his eyebrows and widened his eyes when he heard that, as if admiring him, he pointed at the foreign girls beside him: "If you can buy it, all the horses here will belong to you."

The foreign girls were indifferent, but just looked at He Dingxian more, as if they didn't take him seriously.

This kind of calm and natural attitude makes the foreign girls not show off the dust, but look delicate, like a delicate model in the window, there is nothing to be shy about
"Thank you, sir!"

He Dingxian glanced at the five foreign girls and opened his mouth to thank them.

Yifu looked very satisfied, picked up his cigar, and continued to look at the arena.

Ge Bai stepped forward, put his shoulders on his shoulders, and said in a low voice: "He sir, come on tonight!"

Seeing He Dingxian looking sideways at him, Ge Bai looked puzzled, and explained: "The horses given by Yifu sir must be ridden on all of them. Last time, a chief inspector took three horses. If he didn't have enough to ride, he added two more horses. It was whipped. Later, Sir Yifu asked the slave horse and found out that there was one missing, and the title of superintendent on the shoulder of the Chief Inspector flew away!"

He Dingxian smiled lightly: "It's okay."

Seeing He Dingxian's confident look, Ge Bai secretly admired him, but he didn't know that Sir He opened a pharmacy recently.

"No. [-] hit."

Seeing the results of this horse race, Yifu smiled slightly, not too surprised. In fact, No. [-] itself is a big favorite. The racecourse is so upset that there are new horses or horses recovering from injuries. Old horses are very few An upset.

The data of jockeys and horse races are very transparent.

What's more, there will be no new horses or injured horses in the night horse race.

He turned his head and toasted He Dingxian softly: "Remember to take away the horse I gave you, I don't like to owe favors to others."

"Thank you sir."

He Dingxian and Ge Bai followed the officer and sat down on the sofa. After watching the horse race, Yifu seemed to be in a good mood, so he didn't make any detours. He took out a business card from the inner pocket of his suit and handed it over: "What do you want to call?" Give me."

"Thank you, sir!" He Dingxian took the business card and was overjoyed.

Yifu put down his wine glass, looked at him and said, "I heard that you want to stay in the serious crime team?"

He Dingxian no longer concealed it, and said bluntly: "I hope to work more for the police force."

"Ah."

Yifu was noncommittal. Theoretically, the Serious Crime Squad has no term of office, and a position can last forever. However, due to the special times, each position is a sum of money, and the police force is frequently transferred. In other words, the chief inspector of Zonghua has a maximum of three years, and the chief of the serious case department was newly established last year.

There is a unified consensus within the senior police force that the term is currently held every two years, and if it takes two years, it is time to vacate positions and replace people.

High turnover, high income.

"I will try my best to mediate for you and get you another year."

Yifu didn't say it to death: "Of course, I only have the right to propose. As for whether it can be successful, it depends on Sir Mai's opinion."

He would not quarrel with his immediate boss for the position of chief of a serious case, because the interests of his immediate boss were more consistent with him.

He Dingxian hurriedly expressed joy: "Sir Yifu, I would like to thank you on behalf of the Chinese in the police force. The Chinese police will fully support you in the future!"

Yifu frowned slightly, his political awareness was extremely high: "It's for the Hong Kong government, for Sir Mai."

But He Dingxian didn't respond. If the Chinese don't split the ghosts into human bodies, how can they get strong support in politics if they look at it as a whole?
"I also value your ability. The serious crime team you lead is effective in handling cases and has repeatedly solved major cases. If you are a mediocre person, why should you be the team leader?" After Yifu finished speaking, the three raised their glasses and touched each other. At the same time, Chen Zichao Putting a box of Hong Kong dollars in the corner, he said, "Sir, the bonus has been cashed out."

"Ah."

Isuke nodded slightly.

Tonight, He Dingxian did not go home, but directly stayed at the VIP hotel of the Jockey Club. It is always better to train horses at the racecourse, let alone train five horses at once.

One of the horses is Zhen Lie, who will deliberately provoke the jockey. If He Dingxian is not strong, young and energetic, she may not be able to subdue it!
end of the month.

Ruihetang.

The Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce held a general meeting. More than 300 Chaoshan members from Hong Kong went to the venue in person. The venue was located in the Ruihe Hall. There were tea seats for five people.

Long gowns, suits, Western clothes, Washington, different dresses, very different temperaments, both men and women.

The crowd packed the usually spacious and quiet hall to the brim. Members are generally between 20 and [-] years old, and they are all in the prime of life. There are fewer young people in their [-]s, but you can still see a few in the crowd.

Only when the chamber of commerce holds a meeting, the Ruihe Hall will lose its tranquility and turn into a bustling hall, more like a clan ancestral hall for wedding banquets.

Chu Weinan, Wang Laoji, Zhou Zhiyuan and other senior executives of the Chamber of Commerce sat on the chairs in the middle hall. In addition to the chairman and two vice-chairmen, there are 21 directors in the Chamber of Commerce, divided into two rows on the left and right, and all of them are well-known Chaoshan universities. boss.

"Boom!"

A gong sounded, and Wang Laoji stood up and said, "Dear fellows and members, everyone who should come to today's chamber of commerce meeting has come. Those who are absent due to something, will default to abstain according to the rules."

"Today's first meeting topic, the chamber of commerce has decided to add an additional director seat, and nominate Mr. He Dingxian, the boss of the Oriental Group, as the inspector of the serious crime team of the police department. Mr. He Dingxian was recommended by Wang Laoji, Mr. Chu Weinan, and Mr. Xu Aizhou. First vote for it, and if members have objections, they can hold a negative vote."

Wang Laoji sat back on the grand teacher's chair and handed over the work time to He Dingxian. He Dingxian walked from under the pillar to the stage in a brown gown, and clasped his hands with a sincere expression: "I want to do more for the brothers in my hometown. I also hope that the elders and uncles will support you." .”
