Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings

"Congratulations, Mr. Huo! You have a successful career. Now you are not only the president of Shunfeng Express, but also the chairman of the Hong Kong Football Association. You have a bright future!"

"Yes, as the saying goes, a tiger's father has no sons, so you can rest assured to leave the family business to him in the future!"

The old shipping king Bao Yugang and the jewelry king Zheng Yutong said to Huo Yingdong.

Mr. Huo was very happy.

When talking about the eldest young master of the Huo family before, these people didn't say anything on the surface, but secretly many people laughed at him as a loser and a loser.

But now-——

Mr. Huo's face glowed brightly. He arranged the small red flowers on his left chest that represented the family's distinguished guests and said modestly: "Where is it! It's because he is lucky and has made good friends."

"Then you have to have good luck."

"Yeah, Du Yongxiao can't make friends with everyone."

When the others heard this, they looked envious.

Now "Du Yongxiao" has become a "golden brand" in Hong Kong. Countless people want to make friends but cannot get it. There are even fewer people like Mr. Huo who can become business partners and good friends in private with Du Yongxiao.

"By the way, I heard that today is the day that Du Yongxiao takes up his post as Police Commissioner. Does this conflict with Young Master Huo's opening ceremony?"

"You didn't know this. The opening ceremony is at noon, Superintendent Du, oh no, the inauguration ceremony of Director Du is at three o'clock in the afternoon. We will all be there to support it."

"Support? Are you all going?"

"Of course not everyone can go, only by invitation! After all, this is a major event that will go down in history, and it may even be on TV. Who doesn't want to witness this historical moment live?"

"Invited? Why wasn't I? Am I not qualified?" Some big bosses became suspicious and hurriedly asked their subordinates to find out who Du Yongxiao had invited to the ceremony this time.

On the grand stage.

There were bursts of firecrackers and red falls everywhere.

After the ceremony begins,

Young Master Huo was very high-spirited and stood on top with the speech script in hand, and read aloud: "First of all, I would like to thank all the bosses, guests, relatives and friends——"

In the audience, his two brothers Huo Zhenhuan and Huo Zhenyu looked at him with envy.

"Brother is so awesome today!"

"Yeah, look at all the big guys showing up today, and look at my dad, he's all smiles on his face!"

"Stop talking about it, he is also our eldest brother after all. Applause!"

Fighting tigers are brothers, fighting father and son are soldiers.

No matter what, the Huo family must unite. Only in this way can they gain a foothold in the tiny place of Hong Kong and continue the family's prosperity.

not far away---

At the guest table, Li Jiacheng, the big boss of Cheung Kong Industries, sat on a chair and squinted at Young Master Huo who was delivering a speech on the stage. He said to the barrister Song Bingshu next to him: "Seeing Wei, this is because people have good Feng Shui, and waste wood turns into treasure!" At that time, people had to believe in fate and Feng Shui! Feng Shui master Lin Bo once told me that I was originally a star descended from the sky, and once I succeeded, all my bones would wither! Unfortunately, a comet fell from the sky and blocked my business path, so I had to settle for a living. Come on!"

Song Bingshu hesitated and asked: "Boss, I believe you are a general, so the one who blocks your business path -"

"I didn't know who he was before, but now I know him!" Li Jiacheng adjusted his glasses, "Not only does his business career go smoothly, but now he also has a prosperous official career."

Song Bingshu: "You mean - Du Yongxiao?"

Li Jiacheng sighed: "I don't know if it's him. I only know that I haven't had a good night's sleep since he appeared in Hong Kong." After speaking, he glanced at the people around him who were discussing whether they had received an invitation from Du Yongxiao to participate. The business tycoons at his inauguration ceremony.

"So, will you go to his inauguration ceremony at three o'clock this afternoon?"

"Huh?" Li Jiacheng was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Song Bingshu: "What do you mean? Did he invite me?"

Song Bingshu nodded, "Yes, an hour ago, I saw you were busy so I didn't say anything."

"Push! How can you not talk about such a big thing? Get it quickly!"

"What?"

"The invitation!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Song Bingshu hurriedly took out the invitation letter from his briefcase and handed it to Li Jiacheng with his own hands.

Li Jiacheng took the invitation letter and unfolded it. The words on it were very respectful and polite, and he sincerely invited Mr. Li Jiacheng to come to the scene and so on.

In fact, the reason why Du Yongxiao sent the invitation letter to Li Jiacheng, in addition to his own magnanimity, was also to give the old boss an educational opportunity to let him know the great power of the Chinese in Hong Kong and not to always praise ghosts. foot.

In addition, you can make money by any means necessary, but don't forget that you are Chinese and understand that this is Hong Kong. Since he, a Chinese, can become the first brother, everything is possible in the future. For example, Hong Kong will return to the motherland.

"Hahaha!"

At this moment, Li Jiacheng flicked the invitation with his finger and laughed three times, looking very happy.

"This Du Yongxiao is also a caring person. Although I fought with him, he still treated me with courtesy. He is a good person!"

Song Bingshu heard it clearly and thought to himself that before, Boss Li called Du Yongxiao a street boy, a scum in the police world, and a scum in the business world at home, but now he is actually a "character"?

"So boss, are you going to go this afternoon? If you go, I will help you prepare the car. If not, I will -"

Li Jiacheng turned to glare at him, "Nonsense! Even if he and I are enemies, we still have to be polite! Since he invited me, of course I have to give him face. What is this called? Reciprocity!"

"Yes, I understand, I'll prepare the car right now!"

"Go!"

"yes!"

Seeing Song Bingshu leaving, Li Jiacheng sat up straight proudly, crossed his legs, deliberately took the invitation letter in his hand and placed it in the most conspicuous place, squinting his eyes and looking satisfied.

…

nearby--

"See, even Li Jiacheng has an invitation letter?"

"Aren't he and Du Yongxiao mortal enemies?"

"Those are all legends! Besides, who is Du Yongxiao? His magnanimity is extraordinary. Since he is willing to send an invitation letter to Li Jiacheng, it is obvious."

"That's right! Du Yongxiao is not that kind of narrow-minded person! On the contrary, Boss Li is going to be so proud this time!"

"So Boss Li can't compare to Du Yongxiao. Just based on his heart, Du Yongxiao wins!"

"Don't be too victorious, let's talk about ourselves! Do you have an invitation letter? How about you, do you have one?"

Everyone was stunned by this question.

Yes, have you been invited?

To Yongxiao has been appointed as the Commissioner of Police and has firmly established himself as the first brother. Who can witness history?

…

After giving an impassioned speech, Mr. Huo came down from the stage to interact with many big shots.

Praises such as "Young and promising", "Bright future" and "The future leader of Hong Kong" are endless.

Young Master Huo couldn't help but feel a little graceful.

He had rarely heard such praise before, but today he had heard it all his life.

Of course, more big shots are asking: "I heard that you and Du Yongxiao are good friends. Do you have a chance to help introduce them to each other?"

"Young Master Huo can be friends with a genius like Director Du. It's really enviable to others!"

"Superintendent Du Yongxiao Du took up his post as director this afternoon. I may have to leave first later, so please forgive me!"

Young Master Huo was in a variety of moods. The words "Du Yongxiao" had already replaced those compliments, and he could not stop hearing them.

At this moment, Young Master Huo knew clearly that no matter how great his achievements were, Du Yongxiao would always surpass him!

Should I be happy or jealous?

Young Master Huo was very confused at this moment and couldn't tell the difference.

But one thing is for sure--

Du Yongxiao's brilliance has overshadowed all Hong Kong bosses at this moment, even his father Huo Yingdong!

If To Yongxiao succeeds in taking up the post of Chinese Police Commissioner this afternoon, then he will be the only one in Hong Kong in the future——

king!

…

That afternoon——

Two forty.

There are still twenty minutes left before Du Yongxiao takes office as police commissioner.

It stands to reason that this time it will be Hong Kong Governor MacLehose who will personally confer the title on To Yongxiao.

After all, as the first Chinese police commissioner, this will go down in history.

For unknown reasons, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose temporarily informed the outside world that he was unwell and could not attend the event and would personally appoint Chief Superintendent To Yongxiao To, so this task would be replaced by Sir Bailiqu.

Speculations abound as to the reason for MacLehose's sudden announcement.

Some people say that the reason why MacLehose was unable to personally appoint Du Yongxiao was because he went to the French restaurant to eat raw oysters yesterday and had a bad stomach. He had diarrhea all night, so he could not attend the event.

Others said that this was MacLehose's purpose of using his illness to shirk the responsibility because he was unwilling to bear the reputation of helping To Yongxiao to be promoted to police commissioner.

After all, Du Yongxiao is Chinese, not British. Helping a Chinese to hold a job would be detrimental to his identity.

Others say that MacLehose did this to avoid suspicion because it was rumored that MacLehose, the Governor of Hong Kong, was behind the promotion of To Yongxiao's success.

If MacLehose personally appoints Du Yongxiao this time, then the opposition in England will seize on these words to make a fuss.

In any case, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose was unable to attend the event, and it has become a fact that he personally appointed To Yongxiao.

But it became breaking news that Sir Bailiqu replaced him as Du Yongxiao.

Everyone knows that Sir Bailiqu and Du Yongxiao have always been at odds with each other, and they fight to the death in private.

But this time Sir Bailiqu had to endure his disgust and personally appointed Du Yongxiao, which was a show.

Some people even speculated that this was done deliberately by MacLehose in order to use this opportunity to make the two shake hands and make peace.

Regardless of what the outside world said, the time soon reached three o'clock in the afternoon.

Since Hong Kong was controlled by the British, a total of 27 police commissioners have been born.

These twenty-seven people are all British ghosts. Among them, the one with the shortest tenure was Xin Shicheng, who served for one year from 1945 to 1946. The longest was McIntosh, who served for eight years from 1946 to 1954. The remaining ones are either three years or six years, and few of them can be recorded in history. The reason is that the era they live in is the era of the "Black Gold Empire" created by Lei Luo and others. The presence of these police chiefs is very important. Low.

But now——

As the first Chinese police commissioner, Du Yongxiao is about to usher in a new era.

Boom boom boom!

At the protocol desk of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, a twenty-one-gun salute was fired, which was deafening.

Hong Kong's political and business leaders from all walks of life gathered together.

As for Hong Kong government officials, they are headed by Sir Bailiqu, followed by the Chief Secretary for Administration, the Financial Secretary and others.

Then there are the big guys in the police community, the deputy commissioner of police, senior assistant commissioner, chief superintendent, etc. They are the subjects of Du Yongxiao's title award today, so they are all gathered together, so that some people are joking. If a bomb is dropped, the entire Hong Kong police force will undergo a major change or even be paralyzed.

The people on the right are all Hong Kong business tycoons, celebrities, etc. who were invited to watch the ceremony, including Fok Yingdong, Pao Yugang, Zheng Yutong, Li Zhaoji, Li Jiacheng and others.

The younger generation of the proud ones can only succumb to these big bosses at the moment, such as the three eldest young masters of the Huo family, Liu Jianxiong, Lin Jianyue, Luo Yingshi, Xu Jinheng and so on.

At this moment, the entire viewing area was extremely lively.

As a burst of police music played.

Boom boom boom!

Three more cannon shots were fired.

Amidst the sound of cannons, a police team appeared on the scene with neat steps.

They are majestic and majestic.

As the famous honor guard of the police force, they began to perform and shout.

Immediately, the honor guard stood neatly behind, and Du Yongxiao, the protagonist of today's official duties, appeared.

Wearing a brand new uniform of the Commissioner of Police, he walked around the auditorium with his head held high, stepped onto the stage, and went straight to the center where the medals were awarded.

"Wow!"

The more than two dozen assistant-level and chief superintendents sitting in front of Du Yongxiao all stood up at this moment according to the deputy director of operations, senior assistant director, assistant director, and chief superintendent.

"Crash!" More than fifty superintendents and senior superintendents standing behind the viewing platform all raised their chests and raised their gazes.

At this moment, more than 70 senior British police officers, as well as a few Chinese inspectors, and detectives were all standing under the stage, looking eagerly at the Chinese faces on the stage.

Du Yongxiao is dressed in a police uniform with a white shirt that only the Commissioner of Police can wear. He looks very heroic.

At this moment, Du Yongxiao finally stood at the top of the Hong Kong police force, overlooking all living beings.

certainly--

If you want to truly secure the position of "big brother" here and take charge of the police force, in addition to being appointed by the British and the Hong Kong Governor's Government, you also need superhuman abilities and personal charisma. Especially this is Hong Kong. If you want to impress these ghosts. , must have strong strength.

It just so happens that Du Yongxiao did it all!

The only way to convince these ghosts is to have strong personal abilities and ruthless methods. Du Yongxiao's "Tiger Cleansing Street" and "Human Massacre with Bloody Hands" are not in vain.

In addition, you must have money to be able to bribe these people to work for you.

Du Yongxiao is never short of money!

Even the wages of the Flying Tigers are paid out of his own pocket, and the benefits during holidays are also paid by Du Yongxiao personally.

These ghost guys are also human beings. It is very clear who is good to them, who is bad to them, and who is always exploiting them.

Therefore, Du Yongxiao's rise to power this time is actually the general trend.

Du Yongxiao will also become the "first brother" recognized by both Chinese and ghosts!

When the title conferment began, Sir Bailiqu stood up and walked towards Du Yongxiao.

Everyone below looked at it.

A police officer appeared on the left side of Bailiqu holding a badge representing the Commissioner of Police.

According to logic, Sir Bailiqu first spoke to everyone, roughly speaking, God save the Queen, Du Yongxiao's decision to be appointed Commissioner of Police was a unanimous decision from above, a unanimous decision from the police force, and it was a correct decision. Then there was some encouragement, describing the current difficulties faced by the Hong Kong police force, and hoping that Du Yongxiao could lead the police force to move forward bravely in the future.

By talking so much, Bailiqu was actually delaying time on purpose. In his heart, he was unwilling to award Du Yongxiao a title, especially to see Du Yongxiao wear the badge of the Commissioner of Police and become a well-deserved member of the police force. elder brother.

Seeing Sir Bailiqu chattering endlessly, Du Yongxiao straightened his back and couldn't help but frown.

Others also felt that the Lord Sir was a bit verbose.

Bailiqu sighed after seeing everyone's reaction. He had to turn around and take the sword badge representing the Commissioner of Police from the tray. He faced Du Yongxiao and prepared to say a few more words.

At this moment---

A shocking scene appeared.

Du Yongxiao didn't give him a chance to speak at all, he took the badge directly from Sir Bailiqu's hand, moved it to the left side of his chest, and put it on himself!

Bailiqu was stunned.

The scene was filled with astonishment.

At this moment, everyone could not help but think of the scene in history when Napoleon snatched the crown from the Pope and wore it for himself!

Look at Du Yongxiao again. After putting on the badge of the Commissioner of Police, he raised his chin slightly and saluted everyone!

The scene was slightly stunned.

immediately!

Bang bang bang!

Thunderous applause!
