Chapter Twenty-Five: The Art of Manipulating People
Most of the commercial buildings on the street have no yards, and the entrances are set up on the side of the street, which is similar to ordinary shops.
The same is true for the Kam Lee Tower on Austin Road in Tsim Sha Tsui, except that the building has two entrances and exits, one of which has an additional elevator that leads to the seventh floor, which is home to the company's headquarters.
In the company's gym, the faucet Xiang Yan is exercising on the butterfly machine, and with every breath, sweat flows down the muscles.
In 1953, Xiang Qian, the founder of Xinyi'an, was expelled by the British government in Hong Kong and fled to Treasure Island, allowing Xiang Yan, the eldest son of the long house who had just graduated from high school, to take over the leading position.
After more than 20 years of tempering, Xiang Yan has already changed from that immature boy to a "four-eyed dragon" who is famous on Hong Kong Island, and has transformed into a sharp and introverted dragon brother.
Although he is over forty years old, he is full of energy, and at first glance, he feels like he is thirty-four or five years old, and he looks like he is gentle.
After a while, Lin Jing, the chief housekeeper, walked into the gym and handed over a bottle of pure water: "Mr. Xiang, take a rest." ”
"Limber, why are you here?"
Xiang Yan saw Lin Jing arrive, stopped his movements, and said hello politely.
There is always a saying in the community, called "Fight with the Lin family in the world", and Xiang Yan still respects the old department under this father.
"I heard something very interesting, so I'll share it with you."
Lin Jing sat on the chair next to him and said with a smile: "Hongfei of the Code Gang is missing, it is said that his wife and children are missing, and the territory of Wan Chai has been taken over by Chen Mingzhe. ”
"Chen Mingzhe, is that the Earthquake Mountain Tiger, one of the five tigers of the Code Gang?"
Xiang Yan also smiled: "It seems that after Ke Zhixiong took office, the reform of the code gang is really drastic. ”
"This is not a good thing, Chen Mingzhe is a young man, and he is still a militant, if this person is allowed to become Ke Zhixiong's leader, the code gang will inevitably point the sword against Xinyi'an."
Lin Jing paused: "As far as I know, Chen Mingzhe is on his way to Yau Ma Tei with a vote of brothers at the moment. ”
Xiang Yan panted evenly, repaired two McNuudoo cigars with a cigar cutter, and handed one of them to Lin Jing: "What is the reaction of the prince's side?" ”
"Since the mainland's reform and opening up, the smuggling business has always been lucrative, and the prince is in Tuen Mun at the moment, ready to open up a smuggling line belonging to the community to sell televisions and other electronic products to the mainland, and he is not aware of this matter."
Lin Jing exhaled a puff of smoke and continued: "Interestingly, for Chen Mingzhe's actions, Li Wenqiang in Yau Ma Tei did not make any movements, as if nothing happened. He and Chen Mingzhe both went out of Tsz Yun Mountain, and the two are still old acquaintances, so I think he is likely to talk to Chen Mingzhe in private. ”
"Bai Fanqiang is a fierce general, but since he went to Yau Ma Tei to carry the flag, he has shown too much cleverness, in order to be able to fight for re-election, he first turned a blind eye to the encroachment on the street, and now he has been stepped on by someone and crosses the line, and he wants to solve it privately."
Xiang Yan sighed: "The most taboo thing about doing things in the community is that there is no company in your eyes, thinking that you can hide from the world!" People like them will never understand who gives them the power in their hands. He could damage the face of the society for his own interests, but he never thought that once the society collapsed, who would look down on him? ”
Lin Jing was scheming and instantly understood what Xiang Yan meant: "Do you want me to say hello to Ah Sheng in Hung Hom and let him deal with this matter?" ”
"That's it, let Li Wenqiang do this matter, no matter what, he is the prince's person after all, and it is not appropriate for us to interfere in the affairs of Yau Ma Tei beyond the prince."
Xiang Yan scratched his nose: "As for the re-election of Yau Ma Tei Tangkou, we have to reconsider." ”
Lin Jing raised his eyebrows: "Mr. Xiang, the prince has made a great contribution to the community this year, and he deliberately handed over the assassination of Oliver to Li Wenqiang, which shows that he still attaches great importance to this person, and if we move Li Wenqiang, I am afraid it will cause the prince's dissatisfaction." ”
"Lin Bo, now that even you have begun to be jealous of the prince's attitude, do you think I should continue to think about it?"
Xiang Yan showed a playful smile on his face: "The prince, as the speaker of Yau Tsim Wang, the bosses of the five halls of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kwun Chung, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, and Tai Kok Tsui are all his disciples, and one-third of the community economy is in his hands, and his current power is enough to be worthy of a second-rate community...... The division of the vassal king is a taboo for those in power! ”
Lin Jing was slightly stunned, and then explained: "The prince's current momentum is indeed very strong, but his loyalty to the community is absolutely no problem. ”
"I've never doubted the loyalty of anyone who speaks, but loyalty isn't the only measure of my men. Since ancient times, people with high merit have not had a good end, and the crown prince is now too popular, if he is allowed to develop savagely, it will cause dissatisfaction among other people, which will affect internal unity. What I want is not only that the people below do not have the heart to rebel, but also that they do not have the ability to rebel. ”
Xiang Yan pointed out the situation of the community lightly, and in a few words, he had already regarded Bai Fanqiang as an outcast, and said: "Do you think if I want to replace Bai Fanqiang, who is the most suitable person to take the position?" ”
……
On the other side, Bai Fanqiang, who didn't know that he was about to be in trouble, had already taken a Ford Fairmont sedan to the Hung Hom Tunnel and asked Ah Dong, who was the co-pilot, "How are we preparing here?" ”
Ah Dong turned his head and replied: "According to your orders, I have prepared two million cash, and at the same time ordered the brothers to ambush near the Red Tunnel, but Fa Ge just called, saying that he was in the air at the entrance of the ground street and did not see the big circle!" ”
"! When I'm done dealing with today's affairs, I'll have to get rid of this anti-bone boy! ”
Bai Fanqiang looked angry: "I'll leave this matter to you, no matter what method you use, I have to ask Lu Zonghao out, and then let him disappear on Hong Kong Island, the sooner the better!" ”
"Don't worry, boss, I've long seen this hit the street unpleasant!"
A fierce light flashed in Ah Dong's eyes, and he urged the driver Xiao Yin: "Drive faster, you can't step on the accelerator, you haven't eaten!" ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Yin nodded stupidly, and while accelerating, he quietly covered the eldest brother's phone under him with the hem of his clothes: "Brother Dong, are we going to go over the road?" Or take the West Kowloon Elevated Highway? ”
Ah Dong's eyes widened: "You have been driving a car for so long, and you still use me to teach you?" Of course, it's on the elevated road! ”
……
On the other end of the phone, Lu Zonghao was standing on the viaduct of Changyun Road, and when he heard Ah Dong's response, he hung up the phone and said to the shrimp boy next to him: "Your friend, it's quite reliable." ”
"Money is a hero's courage, I gave Xiao Yin enough benefits, he can't earn this money by Bai Fanqiang's side for a few years, so he naturally has to help us do things."
Shrimp Boy smiled: "Big brother, what are we going to do next?" ”
"Wait."
Lu Zonghao dropped a word, then dialed the number of the pager, and said to the customer service: "Please help me call the 00857777, call three times in a row, and the callback number is this." ”
In less than three minutes, Huang Bingren's phone call came back: "Hello, this is Huang Ji Moving Company, may I ask if you made the call?" ”
Lu Zonghao looked at the cars parked on the side of the road under the bridge one after another, as well as the old boys who got out of the car and scattered around, and asked, "I want to carry two containers, can you take this business?" ”
Huang Bingren saw Lu Zonghao facing the code, and asked straight to the point: "What's wrong, why did you suddenly activate the emergency contact channel?" ”
Lu Zonghao said in a deep voice: "I found Du Guobin's whereabouts, but the people in the Poison Investigation Department were tricked by him, he didn't really be an informant at all, but he has been covering for Bai Fanqiang, preparing to do a big deal today, and then run away with Bai Fanqiang to Southeast Asia." ”
