History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 33
"Master, when will we hold the apprentice banquet?" He Dingxian readily agreed without hesitation.

A position of police chief in Yau Ma Tei can earn tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars a month, and he can be regarded as a middle-level representative of the Chinese on Hong Kong Island.

If you can get the position of Zonghua Inspector.

That's the ticket to the gangster circle.

However, the sheriff of the first district is enough to change the status of a poor boy. It can be described as turning a sparrow into a phoenix!

Chen Lize laughed heartily and said: "Hahaha, you brat, forget it, I don't have a trademark, so there is no need to hold a teacher apprentice banquet."

"In the future, remember to have me as a master."

The difference between a master and a master is a huge difference.

The master only imparts craftsmanship, but the master must preach and teach, provide resources, money, and help the disciples to rise to the top. The kindness of the master is like a father.

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

"There are not many things I can pass on to you. I usually come here to drink and drink tea, and get along as brothers."

"No teacher apprentice banquet, teacher apprentice ceremony, tea and incense offering, let alone kneel down to me."

He couldn't stand it.

"I just really like you, and I think you will stand out, so I let you take advantage of me, and hope that 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 intends to invest in me and give me political capital and resources. The title of master is just a moral contract. In the future, it is also for repayment, but it is more important than pure exchange of benefits. There is more morality."

"In Chinese culture, bullying teachers and destroying ancestors, and forgetting the teachings of teachers are heinous crimes. Once it occurs, it is tantamount to bankruptcy. The more powerful people are, the less they dare to do it. Otherwise, they will be stabbed in the spine for a lifetime, and no matter how successful they are, they will be cast aside. !"

It's just that because he has already established a foundation, he can't count as visiting the door empty-handed, so the master's authority can't be established.

into a purer political investment.

There is no need to bow your head like a real apprentice in front of Chen Li. However, this pure political investment can also be said to be a more sincere feeling.

The debt of favor is also heavier.

It can only be said that none of the Chinese who can get ahead is a fool. Perhaps Chen Li had guessed that He Dingxian would have to pay a price for taking advantage of the situation, and he had already made preparations for He Dingxian to cover the bottom line...

If he survived by relying on Chen Licai, he might really have to kneel and kowtow, offer tea and burn incense.

Sure enough, people still have to rely on themselves. Independent cooperation is more suitable for him, and he is willing to accept it, but at this time he is very respectful. He brings a pot of hot tea from the stall and fills a cup with a sincere and honest expression. Seriously saluted the officer with both hands: "Master, I still have to drink a cup of tea."

"This is courtesy."

Chen Li took the teacup with one hand, bowed his head and took a sip with a very satisfied expression.

He Dingxian said again: "The apprentice banquet must also be held."

"It's the rule."

Chen Li moved his eyelids, raised his eyes to look at him while holding the hot tea, and said with a funny smile, "I knew it, this cup of tea is not so easy to drink."

The master apprentice banquet is essentially a process in which the master introduces social contacts and political resources to the apprentice, and by the way informs relatives and friends about the apprenticeship, which is more ceremonial than the banquet itself.

Although Chen Li would introduce political resources to He Dingxian even if he didn't have a teacher apprentice banquet, He Dingxian felt that he needed a teacher appreciation banquet.

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 or hawks.

Don't try to lie to him!

"Then the third day of next month."

Chen Li set a time.

In the Xinmao year of the lunar calendar, Jiawu month, Wuyin day, and the third day of June, it is advisable to open a business, break ground, marry, build, avoid housewarming, go up to the beam, and hold a feast.

At this time, half a month after the dinner at Ningbo Guild Hall, all 23 one-dollar shops in Kowloon District have 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 Mong Kok. One in Tsuen Wan...

The film store company rented a house on Boundary Street as an office. The whole company has 95 helpers and clerks, including four for each store, three for the general manager, deputy general manager, and financial manager, and the general manager is Lard Boy. , the deputy general manager is Wu Shihao, and the financial manager is a very unexpected candidate "Qiu Degeng".

In fact, on the night of the dinner, Qiu Degeng was asked to leave by Shao Zuiweng. On the one hand, he helped Qiu Degeng wipe out the debts of the bank and saved Qiu Degeng's life. , It's a good move.

He Dingxian and Qiu Degeng had a grudge against each other, and the movie store was a cash business, so the accounts could be easily hacked, and Qiu Degeng could keep an eye on the movie store.

He Dingxian also didn't have the confidence to challenge Shao Zuiweng, because the 30 venture capital made the movie store expand rapidly and eat up the entire Kowloon market, so he didn't care about Shao Zuiweng for the time being.

Shanghai Street, Chenghua Restaurant, after a burst of firecrackers, gongs and drums blaring, the entire restaurant was booked out, and a total of 23 tables were set up for the apprentice banquet.

Lard Boy is wearing a yellow floral shirt with loose buttons revealing a white undershirt. The armpit hair below the elbows has not been shaved, but the hair on the head is neatly combed. With a big backed head full of wealth, it is really a joy to see that bloated and handsome appearance with a smile on his face.

When Qian Weishan, Daji, Ale, Yaohui, Shapi and other officers in military uniform and plainclothes stepped into the gate of the restaurant, they all shook hands with him respectfully and said, "Brother Lard."

Under the management of 23 movies, hundreds of helpers, lard boys, have already transformed into managers of the company with a higher social status than the team leader in military uniform. Seeing that Qian Weishan, Daji and others were very envious, it was as if they were fighting chicken blood, and they were waiting for Chief He to be promoted next time, and they would also take them to heaven.

They don't know how to manage business, but if they manage a street of gambling stalls, a street of smoke dens, stables, and even public toilets, they can get a lot of money.

"Today is Brother Xian's big day, and it's also a good day for Chief Chen. Brothers, watch out at the door. Don't let the chops go in and disturb the venue." Zhu Youzai explained to Wu Shijie, seeing that the guests also came When it was almost done, he turned around and walked into the restaurant. Wu Shijie was wearing short-sleeved shorts, with a dagger on his waist, and guarded the door with a dozen brothers from the studio. A person who regards the prosperous brother Hao as an idol, and brother Xian as his mother and father, invisibly already has the courage to form a gang!
He Dingxian never thought about setting up a club in the company, but when there are more people in the company, they will gradually be divided into levels, and a group will gradually form under the banner. The law also tells them that if they want to have a future and get ahead, they must be brave, ruthless, and put their lives to the test, and naturally many associations will be born.

Fortunately, the association of his movie store is still a fellowship association for eating.

When the government order fails, the underground order will take its place...
He Dingxian knelt on the knee pad in a regular manner, and respectfully finished incense on the Daguan icon on the divine table, then got up and inserted the incense into the copper stove, turned around and took the tea from Wu Shihao, holding it with one hand Tea saucer, flicking the hem of the gown with a wave of his hand, with a solemn expression, he offered tea with a solemn expression and said, "Master, please drink tea!"
