In fact, triads are similar to "mutual aid associations", in which Chinese immigrants join for survival to seek "protection" and support. It's not a black X organization!

After the Qing government ceded Hong Kong in 1842, Hong Kong became a free port. The British colonized Hong Kong and urgently needed a large number of laborers, at that time, due to political turmoil in Chinese mainland, natural disasters and many other reasons, there happened to be a large number of unemployed people.

A large number of migrants who have arrived in Hong Kong have come to Hong Kong to earn a living, providing not only labour but also opportunities for the development of triads.

In order to get a job and protection, joining a gang is the quickest way to join a gang when people from the inland arrive in Hong Kong, which is the result of the mutual affection of both parties. Similar to alternative unions!

After the immigrants arrived in Hong Kong, they mostly worked as coolies at the wharf. At the piers in Sai Wan and Sheung Wan, there is fierce competition among porters, and migrants often fight for turf. In order to survive in an environment of fierce competition, it is necessary to seek alternative collective protection from the family or outside the geography to deal with external bullying forces.

Lu Yan's book "The Story of Hong Kong" records that in the early days of Hong Kong's opening of the port, immigrants could get jobs by joining gangs: "At the beginning of the opening of Hong Kong, there was no guild organization. The triad became a gang that united workers in the early days, and many workers who sold their labor had to join the gang in order to maintain their work!

In the early colonial years, the British government was happy to see the Chinese community self-governing, and had no intention of providing public services to the Chinese community. (Irresponsible British!)

The Chinese are not averse to triads, after all, the protection and services that can be obtained by paying a fee are theoretically no different from paying taxes to the government to receive benefits.

In the 80s and 90s, the British government was most concerned about China's influence on Hong Kong and its impact on colonial governance. It is not a threat to people's livelihood and social order. Let some lawbreakers run amok!

Beginning in 1966, there was a marked increase in violent crime in relation to triads.

Another fundamental problem was that at that time, the police were in cahoots with the triad, and the saying circulating in Hong Kong at that time was that "the police are in charge of the triad, and the mafia is in charge of law and order." It can be said that the entire police system under the rule of the British is the largest triad XX organization in Hong Kong, and it was also at that time that there was a "500 million inspector" Lu Le.

It was not until the establishment of the ICAC that it became a real turning point in the problem of the XX Society of Hong Kong's triad society, and police corruption was effectively curbed.

After the establishment of the ICAC, the triad lost the illegal protection of the police and was severely cracked down. From the nineties onwards, triad members changed careers, and only a few diehards remained.

There may be fewer true triad criminals, and many triads only hire "temporary workers" (horses) to act as spectacles when they want to "do things".

Of course, it is still very likely that the people of the triad will really hit the oil and water, and dispatch some hidden masters.

"Fortunately, in a few years, Hong Kong will return...... Now there are many fewer gangsters who can dance around in Hong Kong. Beware of someone? don't have a clue, forget it, be careful. Makeup stealth is!" Putting away the thoughts in his heart, he let the crew move towards another pier, and He Zilong continued to blow the wind in the night.

-

"Long Shao, there is a crew member who said that he has relatives in Hong Kong, but he has not been able to come over to see it before, so I think that after arriving in Hong Kong for a while, I can ask for leave to go to my relative's house to have a look......" Li Dajun suddenly came over to report something to He Zilong.

"Hehe, I'm afraid it's not that simple, that crew member is a newcomer, right......" He Zilong thought for a while, and suddenly replied with a sneer.

"Long Shao can know this, yes, the new crew in his 20s has just been at sea for a long time, and today is estimated to be the first time he can go to Hong Kong...... Li Dajun replied.

"That's right, I guess it's a half-truth to go to see a relative, if the conditions allow, maybe he won't come back......" He Zilong continued to sneer.

"What does Long Shao mean that if conditions permit, he is ready to hack in Hong Kong and not return to the mainland......" Li Dajun was dumbfounded, but then he thought of something, and shook his head with a sigh.

"That doesn't allow him to ......?"

"Let him be, it's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, if you really want to go, you can't stop it......" He Zilong waved his hand.

Forcibly preventing others from going to Hong Kong to be black households, or smuggling, cannot be stopped. People are going to high places, Hong Kong in the 90s, is a handyman, as a temporary worker, the monthly income is unstable, and the income is N times higher than that of Chinese mainland. And you don't need to learn a foreign language, after all, you can just speak Chinese, which has become a place that many mainlanders yearn for.

At that time, if someone had a relative in Hong Kong, it would be very face-saving.

Don't look at the future world, Hong Kong has a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, it is very easy, in fact, it is not bad now. In Hong Kong in the 90s, the average monthly income of 5,000 yuan a month was still very easy. And at this time, the average salary in China is less than 500 yuan a month, and you say those who want to work to earn money. Will it be tempting?

Of course, no one would have imagined that after 20 years, the income level of Chinese mainland would almost keep up with the development of Hong Kong. (Of course, just referring to the first-tier cities.) ）

"People who only remembered smuggling and forcibly staying in Hong Kong in the 90s are actually stupid, and if you want to go to the 80s......" Watching Li Dajun walk away, He Zilong muttered in his heart.

Because, starting in the 60s, until 1981, smugglers from the mainland could immediately apply for a legal Hong Kong identity card as long as they entered the urban area of Hong Kong. However, since 1982, this preferential policy has been abolished, so after entering the nineties, if there are Chinese smuggling to Hong Kong, it can only be regarded as a black household!

In other words, either you have to stay for NN years and have a regular job, or you can buy a house in Hong Kong. Then go and apply for a hukou or a green card, otherwise, if you go to Hong Kong in the September 10s, you will not be a person inside and out.

In the country, you are missing or dead, black households. You are also black in Hong Kong, you are even worse than the gang members of the XX Society!

Hong Kong Pier arrived quickly, verified, explained. Signed, and sure enough, as Chairman Kim said, there was no danger.

He Zilong, who got off the ship, took his own people with him as soon as possible and ran to the branch of Citibank in Hong Kong. The check for 100 million yuan is really scary, of course, the boss of the bank branch is given, and the speed of light is called.

When the money was deposited, the president of the bank directly gave He Zilong a few rooms in the star-rated cooperative hotel near the bank, and the room rate was free for a week. also lent the official car in the bank to He Zilong for their use. Of course, it is said to be borrowed, but in fact, that kind of hint is too obvious, it is estimated that the car is gone, and it will not say anything.

As long as the money can stay in the bank for a month, or stay in installments for a few months, the interest alone is more than that.

Not only that, but the bank also increased He Zilong's credit card limit by three levels. Dealing with the billionaires of the 90s, the commercial banks really look at you differently and completely treat you as an uncle!
