History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 406 The next target: Director!

Although the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, as an organization, is not subject to individual will, but by persuading the chairman, it can at least guarantee the advantage over the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce within ten years, and even has the ability to interfere with the decision of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce.

This can guarantee that within ten years, the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce will not be able to lift its head.

A week later.

He Dingxian returned to Hong Kong Island, and Qiu De led people to Xingzhou to establish the Xingzhou Yiqun Group. Within the year, he obtained three plots of land, the largest one was more than 3000 mu, the smallest one was less than [-] mu, and two of them were One block is changed to residential, and the remaining one can be used to build commercial buildings.

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

Five years later.

"He sir, this is the list of the latest batch of graduated police officers." Yan Xiong put a document on the desktop in Daguan, Chief Superintendent's Office of the Operations Department.He Dingxian wears a uniform and has a calm demeanor. He often lives in a superior position and cultivates an aura that is not angry and majestic.

"Yes." Seeing that he agreed with a casual expression, he took the list and looked through it. The first place was the winner of this year's Silver Flute Medal, outstanding student Li Wenbin.

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

In the past five years, the police force has continued to expand, not only accepting all the graduates of the training school, but also recruiting a group of police officers from the society, expanding the number of police forces to more than 3000, and opening a rapid upward channel.

Upon graduation from the police academy, the rank of sergeant can be awarded, and the No.1 silver flute award can be awarded the rank of probationary inspector.

The high level of the Hong Kong government obviously wants to slowly marginalize the old faction 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, it is not easy to do anything radical.

Because the new generation of police officers is also mainly Chinese, if the conflict between the old and the new becomes intense, it will only make the ghost happy.

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

"Yes, sir!"

Yan Xiong replied solemnly.

In the past few years, He Dingxian has seen too many future police officers join the ranks. It can only be said that after the reorganization of the police force in the 70s, it entered a period of eruption of Chinese officials. Joining the police force, a few joined after the restructuring in the 90s.

With the increase in the number of police force personnel, the network of relationships behind it is also intricate. It can be seen that there are Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, Ghosts, Yingpai Chinese. .
As an area with the largest police-to-civilian ratio, the population of Hong Kong Island has increased by less than one million in the past five years, and currently has a population of less than 300 million.

"The police force will expand to more than 80 people in the 2s, and 3 people in the millennium." He Dingxian knows in his heart: "Where is it now? The number is increasing and the power is increasing. On the contrary, It’s also becoming more and more difficult to hold real power.”

"This is Governor Bai's method, diluting power and introducing 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 feed the sirs, how much salary do more than 3000 police officers get a year, let alone more than 3 police officers?
It can only be said that Bai sir's economy is really doing well.

Moreover, he only engaged in economics, without interfering with the power of the police force, so he couldn't find faults if he wanted to. After all, the expansion of the police force is beneficial to most middle-level police officers. When there are more people in charge, they will naturally speak loudly.

Errand is a high-income industry.

Young people rushed to do it.

He Dingxian had no choice but to accept the changes of the times silently when the middle and low-level police officers were all smiling.

But he also felt a sense of crisis!

Because, with the rapid economic growth, the population has gone to work, and the influence of the rivers and lakes has also begun to decline. Black and white are like pros and cons. When white becomes bigger, black will naturally shrink.In fact, the 60s and 70s were the most fanatical era for social groups on Hong Kong Island. After entering the 80s, it began to cool down. The young and Dangerous on the streets in the [-]s were really just young and Dangerous.

Those people not only have no future, but also have no brains. Those with background and means have all been washed up and landed. They are either justices of the peace or 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, holding the cigarette license, the pier, and managing the stables.Such as gambling stalls, usury, etc., not only did not grow, but the market even shrank.Relying solely on a society that earns water in an industry, some get rich, and some barely make ends meet.

But as the force continued to grow, the money was running out.

The old man refused to give less points.

The rookie wants more points.

"The era of the money empire is coming to an end. The good times are about to pass, but the liquidation is coming. Social contradictions are covered up by economic growth, but power contradictions are highlighted when the economy stagnates, and it will become more and more intense. Sure enough, all politics is accompanied by Following the laws of economics, Bai Liji has used economic means to power." He Dingxian couldn't help but fell silent when he thought of this: "The best way for the people below to rise to power is to clean up those above."

"The old man is not dead, so how can the newcomer succeed?"

"What should I do next?"

He glanced at Yan Xiong, knowing that old people such as Yan Xiong and Lei Luo would find it difficult to spend the next ten years in peace. Best time to get out.

He Dingxian's only advantage is that he is young, but as the shaper of the money empire, he will be most impacted in the future.Moreover, his position has remained stagnant for five years, and he still has not entered the rank of director. It can be seen that Bai Liji intends to contain it.

How to let the brothers go ashore safely and end with dignity, how to let their power pass through the torrent and extend to the next era?
"He sir, has the new chief been selected?" Seeing that the chief did not say a word, Yan Xiong summoned up his courage and said tentatively: "The brothers below are discussing a lot, and many people say that Sir will continue to be re-elected. "

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

He Dingxian replied coldly.

"Yes."

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

He Dingxian's eyes circled around him, and he relaxed his tone: "I know that the brothers have a little bit of opinion in recent years, but the rapid promotion in the past few years does not mean that they will always be fast. At that time, there were more than 1000 Chinese police officers in Hong Kong. There is no inspector level, so life is still the same?"

"In such a hurry to get a police chief?"

He gave Yan Xiong a white look: "Regardless of whether Sir Jian is re-elected or not, the news will be announced in two months at the earliest. The Hong Kong Island Police Force is still in my hands, and the sky cannot be changed."

"Yes, Sir He, I'm going out first." Yan Xiong knew that the officer was in a bad mood, and he couldn't guess that he was worried for them, so he immediately saluted and turned to leave.He Dingxian looked at a group of old brothers who had become ambitious, and suddenly felt that they had been awe-inspiring for a few years, and they were used to it. Do you really think that they will be able to have a good life for the rest of their lives?

When the power of associations declines, the police system will also become more standardized, because the police force and associations are in the same handicap. As the associations began to decline in the past few years, the four major associations have all begun to transform and do business.

Some registered construction companies, some opened a chain of screening stores, some monopolized newspaper wholesale, metal electrical appliance recycling bigwigs all sensed that something was wrong, and the old brothers who came out of Yau Ma Tei still wanted to hold an iron job?
It's not that there is no chance, but with this mentality, you must die.However, he persuaded him several times to no avail. Let me ask you, the strength on paper has been rising, and the money is getting more and more. Who would be prepared for danger in times of peace?Under the enjoyment day after day, it is taken for granted that life will not change.

He Dingxian couldn't guarantee whether he could maintain a sense of crisis if he was not prophetic.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 that he had broken the official barrier once, so they naively thought that he could break through the second time.If he can maintain the speed of progress, he will be promoted to assistant chief in the past few years, and then he will be elected as the chief of the Chinese police in two years. He will become the first Chinese police chief in history. step to take over from him.

But this kind of template is extremely difficult to appear among Chinese police officers in Hong Kong, unless it is the Chinese director appointed by the Guilao government.

Even if he was promoted to Assistant Commissioner last year, he may be elected as Commissioner of Police in the next term. Brothers will still be happy. 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 has maintained a peaceful tacit understanding with the Governor's Mansion. Otherwise, how many brothers will die in five years?In the context of the great expansion of the police force, if a brother under his command dies, the position will be filled by others.

What's the point of being an assistant commissioner, deputy commissioner, or even the police commissioner?If no one can use it, the power will be stolen by others. You are not a puppet, and others will use you as a puppet.He Dingxian has been selecting and cultivating young people available in recent years, hoping to use new forces to ensure a decent end for the elderly and escort the brothers.

He sort of figured it out that new political life can only emerge from new political forces, but it takes time to cultivate a new class, and it takes 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 are not enough, and he still needs to go one step further in the next stage and recruit new people.

"It has become a unified tacit agreement among Guilo's top management to prevent Chinese from entering the director's level, and there is no division of factions." 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 his glass, walked out of the Operations Department, and came to the door of the Chief of Police's office.
