375 HE Dingxian. OBE
When the convoy arrived at Chaofu Restaurant, the shopkeeper had already stood at the door with the waiter, bowing and greeting: "He Sheng, big guys, please inside." ”
"Thank you."
He Dingxian bowed his head slightly, led everyone to a round wooden table on the second floor, pulled out a chair and sat down, raised his wine glass and said: "In the past few days, all the bigwigs have made efforts to stand up for the Chinese, and colleagues in the police circle will never stand idly by. ”
"Through negotiations with the Governor, the Governor has promised to release all the arrested members of the Society and to publish an apology to the Chinese."
Chaozhou porridge, rice fish, Lin Jiang and others sat at the table, raised their wine glasses, didn't care about the dishes on the table, and said excitedly: "Thank you sir for helping!" ”
"It is appropriate for the club to collect fees from the Chinese, make money from the Chinese, and do something for the Chinese."
"We are also for ourselves!"
He Dingxian nodded: "Of course, in the future, there will be no large-scale celebrations on the Double Ten Festival, but if you hang flags and hang statues, if the brothers are happy, how to play, how to play, the Governor's Mansion will not manage it anymore, so it can be regarded as a step back." ”
Big Nose Deng and Zhen Guolong nodded slowly.
In fact, the Double Ten Festival has become more and more outdated, and it will be 11 in the future. And when negotiating with the ghosts, you always have to make some concessions, and no longer hold large-scale events, which is quite appropriate for personal celebrations.
"Have a drink first."
He Dingxian said with a smile.
"Drink to win!"
The bigwigs had just been released from prison for the rest of their lives, and the atmosphere was very high, and they raised their wine glasses one after another and drank the wine in one gulp.
"Mr. Ho."
"Chief Ho"
A few minutes later, Jin Yalian, Jiang Tiansheng, Datoulin, Skewers and other bigwigs also arrived at the restaurant one after another, not only Yiqun, Lao Fu, but also Wujiang Gang, Dongyitang, Xinji leader Xiangyan.
Some of them were in their forties and fifties, some in their early twenties, some wore suits, some wore long shirts, riding coats, and cloth shoes.
Calling people out, pulling chairs and taking seats, the large round table was soon filled.
He Dingxian looked at the dozen or so strongmen present, raised his glass, and said with a smile: "Gathering with you today can be regarded as a Jianghu conference, after drinking this glass of wine, let the brothers call it a day." ”
"Okay."
"Fight life and death, for one breath."
The Golden Tooth Company looked thin and thin, and said with emotion: "If the qi is smooth, the brothers can wash the water with peace of mind." ”
"yes."
Datou Lin shook his head, obviously in the game with the governor, the major associations paid a lot of price, not only to organize trouble, but also to pay wages every day, and the cost of decoction and medicine and settlement expenses for some people were also indispensable. Many businesses are stalling, losing revenue every day.
Of course, the reason why they are willing to come out and fight is that they know that once the Chinese police are controlled by others, the major associations will not be able to get benefits.
The benefits you get in your hands can be snatched away.
Had to come out and fight hard.
He Dingxian also did not bear the expenses of the major associations, firstly, he could not support it, and secondly, he raised the club for the sake of beggars? Let them earn so much every year, and give money when it is impossible for something to happen. The community is also for its own benefit.
"Drink to win!"
"Drink to win!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
After drinking, the bigwigs called their henchmen one after another and officially issued an order to collect the troops, so that each of the brothers in the hall withdrew. In fact, at noon, the crowd of street rallies on Hong Kong Island was slowly decreasing, and by this evening, after the police force successfully took Victoria Peak, the major associations had already called it a day. There are no more than 1,000 people left on the streets in Hong Kong, and now that the order is officially issued, the brothers will all be withdrawn.
He Dingxian put down his wine glass and said with a smile: "Tell my brothers, I invite you to have a night snack in Hong Kong, and the drinks and cigarettes are mine." ”
"Hahaha."
"What a atmosphere."
The bigwigs laughed in unison, but it was impossible to really let the big boss pay for it, at most, each club reported a sum of money, which meant that if you dare to eat millions of orders in one night, the police force will dare to let you pay millions of fees next month.
"Ho sir."
"It's almost time." Lan Gang wore a suit, climbed the restaurant, and approached the chief. He Dingxian had just drunk a few glasses of wine, then got up and said with a smile: "Everyone, I still need to go to Taiping Mountain to meet with the governor, please stay in the restaurant for a while." ”
"I'll come back and toast you again."
Bai Fanyu, Lin Datou and other bigwigs were not surprised that He Sir had something to leave, after all, a major incident has just ended, and there must be a lot of places to end it, and meeting the governor is the most important thing.
When He Sir had a meeting with the governor, he also deliberately took time out to pick them up from prison and set up a banquet to thank them, and his sincerity was undoubtedly at the end.
What they wonder is that he sir will leave and come back to be a beggar?
"He Sir walks slowly."
The bigwigs got up together, watched He Sir walk down the restaurant, then looked at each other, sat down and continued to eat and chat, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before. Ho Ting-yin got into a car at the entrance of the restaurant, and next to him sat the Commissioner of Police, Jian Baoning.
"Sir."
He nodded and said hello.
Jian Baoning smiled: "Go to Taiping Mountain!" ”
Ni Kun stepped on the accelerator, hit the steering wheel, and turned around in the direction of Taiping Mountain. Ni Kun has been driving in Central for several years, and for the first time he drove the car on Victoria Shan Road, looking at the lush woods on both sides, the city with high-rise buildings at the bottom of the mountain, and the bright lights of Victoria Harbour in the distance, a sense of pride inexplicably rose in his heart.
In the past, he always felt that coming to Hong Kong Island was a foreign land, separated by a veil.
At this time, his heart returned to this place, and he was proud of Hong Kong Island.
After the car was reported at the gate of the Governor's Palace, it drove directly into the Governor's Palace, parked it, and lined up next to the Governor's car. Ni Kun parked the car, hurriedly got out of the car, and opened the door for the big boss. He Dingxian and Jian Baoning got out of the car one after another, tidied up their uniforms, and walked towards the Governor's Palace.
"Good !! sir"
The four police officers guarding the door of the mansion stood up and saluted and shouted loudly. He Dingxian and Jian Baoning bowed slightly, and walked into the gate of the main building very naturally. The Governor's Secretary bowed at the door in welcome, but was directly ignored by the two governors.
The disregard for the Governor's Secretary is a contempt for the authority of the Governor's Office.
But after He Dingxian noticed that he was following, he casually ordered: "Go and serve my driver a cup of tea." ”
"Okay, Ho sir." The Governor's Secretary said yes.
"Hello sir!"
At the door of the office, Yan Xiong and a group of police officers saw the chief present, stood up and rested, raised his hand and saluted.
He Dingxian and Jian Baoning smiled, obviously very satisfied with his performance, not a ruthless person would not have the courage to go to Taiping Mountain, let alone have the courage to imprison the governor in an office of sixty square meters. The governor sat in his office reviewing the documents, and when he saw the two of them pushing the door in, a flash of struggle flashed in his expression, but he finally gave up resistance and got up and laughed: "He sir, strong sir!" ”
"Smack!"
He Dingxian and Jian Baoning stood up and saluted, and shouted: "Hello, sir! ”
"You may be seated first." Ge Hongliang smiled and asked the two of them to be casual, invited them to sit in the sofa area, and then asked the secretary to bring two cups of tea, and asked in a negotiating tone: "The police force has made outstanding achievements and performed well in the Double Ten operation, may I ask if the police force needs the support of the Governor's Office?" ”
"I'll do my best."
Ho Ting-yin was very satisfied with the governor's knowledgeable attitude, but he remained silent and let Jian Sir speak first, only to listen to Jian Baoning Zhengse: "It is the duty of the police force to protect the safety of Hong Kong Island and maintain social order. ”
"Jian sir, I vetoed your operation report before, and let Ifu sir act as the police commissioner, and the relevant responsibility lies with me." Ge Hongliang interrupted Jian Baoning's words: "Since you took command of the police force, the chaos has gradually calmed down, and you have commanded properly. ”
"I have decided to commend the Force! Awarded Lord Sir Ho Guanzuo and presented the Chief Executive's Certificate to Jian Sir! ”
Lord Guanzuo belongs to the "Knight Medal" level, which is one of the medals awarded by ancient nobles to his subordinates under the duke, marquis, uncle, son and male of the British aristocratic system, and is the entry point in the noble title system.
But don't underestimate the Order of Knighthood.
This is because the authority given by the British to the Governor's Office on Hong Kong Island is only a knight's medal, which means that Hong Kong island bureaucrats can only receive knightly medals regardless of race, nationality, or the highest level. The Knight Medal is divided into five levels: "Grand Cross Medal" GBE, "Commander Medal" KBE, "Commander Medal" CBE, "Officer Medal" OBE, and "Member Commander Medal" MBE.
The system of this knight's medal actually corresponds to the "Bauhinia Star Medal" after the return, what is the level of the person who can obtain the Bauhinia Star Medal? There are also very few governors who have been awarded the Grand Cross, and many governors do not even have a medal.
As for the Chief Executive's Commendation, it is an honor specially awarded by the British Government of Hong Kong to the head of the disciplined services, corresponding to the "Chief Executive's Medal of Excellence" after the handover.
Due to the 100-year rule of the British government on Hong Kong Island, the medal title system is often used to construct a social hierarchy, resulting in the medal title system being widely accepted by the Chinese on Hong Kong Island.
Of course, after the return, only medals remained, no knighthoods, and most of them were purely honorable.
But now the political symbol of the knighthood is higher than the honor, and a knighthood of the lowest rank is eligible to participate in the most top-level political meetings, and is in the upper seat, and it is not a problem to feed a few small societies with political resources in their hands.
In the political arena, he is even more prosperous, and has an extraordinary status in business and society.
Ho Ting-yin was awarded the Order of the Order of Merit of the fourth class, which is not a high title, and is often awarded to mid-level officers who have made outstanding contributions to Hong Kong Island and made outstanding achievements.
In formal or social situations, everyone needs to call him "Sir Ho", and the seat in a police meeting can also be justified, only under the Commissioner of Police. Because, at present, he has the highest knighthood in the Hong Kong police force!
When Ho Ting-hyun and Jian Baoning heard the governor's promise, they thanked them in unison: "Thank you, sir!" ”
"In addition, I suggest that all the police officers who participated in the Double Ten operation be promoted by one level as a reward." "The Governor's Office has also decided to award the Force one Gold Medal of Valor, two Silver Medals of Valor, and three Bronze Medals of Valor. ”
"The specific grant can be made by the police force."
