The film and television world begins with the battle for the throne in Kowloon

Chapter 213 Li Yan's Plan

You are a wolf, and you can only accommodate dogs at most, because no matter how powerful your subordinates are, you cannot control them;

If you are a tiger, you can accommodate a leopard underneath. If you lead a group of dogs, you cannot defeat other beasts.
If you are a divine dragon flying in the sky, you must raise a powerful dragon to dominate the world, otherwise, you will not be able to rule the world.

Your strength structure determines the growth space and ceiling of your subordinates.

To put it another way, how powerful your subordinates are that determines your height.

Smart people are often not willing to bow to others easily; those who are willing to die easily are not very smart.

Therefore, if you want to have powerful subordinates, there are only two ways to go.

One is to win over those who are already powerful and enhance their loyalty; the second is to nurture those who are already loyal.

The former is too difficult, and the latter is not easy either.

Starting with the easy and then moving on to the difficult, Li Yan is willing to spend time and energy on Scar to test his own level.

After transforming a simple-minded, low-level ruffian who only knows how to fight and kill into a loyal and thoughtful backbone force, the next step is to train him to become a senior executive with a sense of the overall situation.

Among the people selected before, the scarred man who was the most despised by Li Yan and had poor appearance actually showed calmness and wisdom that would not appear in people like him. On the contrary, the performance of those people with good appearance and a little cultural background disappointed Li Yan.

This once again proves that although you plant flowers with care, they may not grow, you may plant willows by accident and they may grow into a shade.

No matter how thorough your planning is, no matter how perfect your plans are, sometimes you still have to look up and ask yourself, what is God's will?

Going with the flow is Li Yan’s biggest gain during this period.

Li Yan can only say to those who always make bold statements like "my destiny is in my own hands, man can conquer nature".

You have no idea about the distance of life!
Forget about going to the sky, if you walk a little narrower, even three cents will not trap you to death.
Li Yan's understanding of traditional culture has deepened, that is, to obey the emperor and command his ministers.

This Son of Heaven can be understood as God’s will, or as a superior official who can decide your fate.

Under the emperor, you can do whatever you want without worry. Even if he is the emperor, you can test him carefully, but never think that you can be above him.

In that case, death is not far away!

If you think of challenging the emperor, first look at the opponents of the same level. Have you already dealt with them all? Under the emperor, there is no rival. Otherwise, don't even think about it.

To Scar in front of him, Li Yan is his emperor.

As long as he is loyal to Li Yan and does not betray him, he will be protected by Li Yan and grow slowly.

As for how far he can grow in the future, it depends on his luck!
Originally, Scar was going to take the two people tonight and hand them over to Ni Yongxiao to get through to him, but Li Yan changed his mind at the last minute and released them both.

Scar did not have any resentment or dissatisfaction. He carried out Li Yan's decision without hesitation and did not worry about facing Ni Yongxiao's accountability.

This shows that Scar is quite loyal to Li Yan, at least he does not hesitate between Ni Yongxiao, the apparent leader of the gang, and Li Yan, his personal follower.

This made Li Yan very satisfied, no matter whether he remembered his kindness in saving him or realized how unfathomable he was.

This is all worth it for Li Yan to continue to support her. In simple terms, he can get a promotion.

Therefore, when the time was right, Li Yan would not hesitate to give him some advice, allowing him to get in touch with some core things and broaden his horizons.

After all, you can't support such a big plate just by being obedient, you must have brains, and can't be much worse than Ni Yongxiao and Han Chen. Otherwise, you can't help it. You raise these people to be your saddlers, not to be their nannies.

Only by deeply understanding your own intentions and doing things can you stay in the circle, move forward in line with the overall situation, and even make up for the shortcomings.

Now that I have reached a high position, I cannot have subordinates who only know how to obey orders and do some fighting and killing. I must have people who can think and accurately implement my intentions.

Otherwise, even if you have three heads and six arms, you will not be able to forget it.

After all, in the last world, he only had to deal with the old man. In this world, there is no one who is high above and can call the shots.

Moreover, modern society is a time of competition among interest groups, not an era where one person can conquer the world.

Scar felt that Brother Yan was trying to give him a warning, and his expression was greatly cheered up. He cautiously asked, "Brother Yan, Han Chen is now on the run, as frightened as a dog that has lost its home."

At this point, Scar glanced at Li Yan. Seeing that Li Yan looked normal, with no wave of emotion in his eyes, and no unhappy expression, he felt that he had touched Brother Yan's intentions again, and said with great encouragement: "Brother Yan, you have no interest in the men like the black man Gandhi, so just ignore them."

"But you have spent so much effort on Han Chen's confidants. With your current status and position, you are not much different from them. So I was wondering, do you think Han Chen might return to Hong Kong Island?"

Scar was originally a tall, sturdy man with a broad back and strong arms. Not only was he not shorter than Li Yan, he was even half a head taller than him.

He is also a majestic and menacing big brother in front of his younger brothers.

But at this moment, he put away his aura of an elder brother in front of Li Yan, stood beside Li Yan, with his shoulders slightly hunched, his waist hunched, and his knees bent. He seemed to be shorter than Li Yan and needed to look up to look at Yan.

Allowing Li Yan to vaguely look down at him.

Li Yan looked at Scar with admiration, a look that showed that he was a teachable scholar.

Not only is he praising Scar's keen observation, but he is also recognizing Scar's current performance.

Li Yan seemed to be indifferent to Scar's humble attitude, but in fact he was clear about it, which made Li Yan look at him with even higher regard.

Li Yan actually doesn't care about these things that only belong to A Feng. If you don't open the car door for me, I won't be able to touch my head. If you don't turn the table for me, I won't be hungry.

As for things like face and vanity, even people at the lowest level know that it is better to be pragmatic than unrealistic. Do you really think that the big guys above are so superficial and care about such empty things?

There are extremely complex and deep meanings in this.

Scar can do this, which shows that he has grown rapidly in the past two years. Maybe he can't fully understand the deep meaning of this, but there is a long way to go.

Take your time, there is still time
Li Yan looked at the starry sky and said calmly: "More than just returning to Hong Kong, Han Chen will be the next leader of the society."

'hiss'

Scar's expression was shocked, his eyes widened, and he took a breath of cold air. He had tried his best to figure out the situation, but Brother Yan's words still caused a storm in Scar's heart, and Scar's psychological world was in chaos.

Scar said tremblingly: "Yan"

"Brother Yan, you have a far-sighted vision, and I believe in your judgment. But Hong Kong is now ruled by Ni Yongxiao, and he just eliminated several powerful bosses. The power of the society is now highly concentrated. And Han Chen is being hunted down in Thailand, and his future is in danger. How can we not see..."

Scar emotionally felt that what Brother Yan said must be right, but rationally he found this judgment incredible.

With a conflicted mentality, he asked in a puzzled tone.

Li Yan followed Ni Yongxiao as an undercover agent for four years. When he returned to the Ni family in 1997 and was finished, there were still two years left, making it exactly six years.

He has already been promoted to the middle-level rank of inspector within the police force, and there are only one or two more levels to go, and that's it. No matter how great his contributions are in the community, he will never be promoted to the level of superintendent.

It was already an exaggeration for an inspector of mid-level police officers to be an undercover agent. If it weren't for Lu Qichang's incident, the police would have been determined to eradicate the Ni family, no matter how well they did.

I'm afraid I won't allow myself to continue doing this.

That means I only have two years at most. Once the Ni family collapses, I will return to the police force. If there is no system prompt, I will have to continue undercover, and that means dealing with Han Chen.

Maybe I should go undercover for him.
Does that mean you have to be a bad guy?
The club couldn't possibly accommodate me anymore. Han Chen had already said that he wanted to share the world with me, which meant that he wouldn't consider me a younger brother anymore. There was no point in me staying in the club. The dungeon was maxed out, so I had to change the map.
With the situation developing to this point, returning to the police force is the inevitable trend.

In this case, I have to keep an internal person who can replace me, as well as some spies, and they have to be in a core position.

So that he can take control of the society after Han Chen.

Li Yan looked at Scar, who was looking surprised and questioning, and said slowly, "Power needs to be checked and balanced, but Brother Xiao doesn't understand this principle and has eliminated all the powerful people below. On the surface, it seems that power is highly concentrated in Brother Xiao's hands, but in fact, it is a big taboo."

"A tree that stands out in the forest will be blown away by the wind!"

"Don't forget, Hong Kong is not ruled by gangs. There are police above us, and above us there is the Grand Governor's Office, and even the north..."

"They will not allow any society to have a monopoly, nor will they allow any society to dominate alone."

Scar was horrified after hearing this. He knew that Brother Yan had high standards, but he didn't expect it to be so high that he could even detect the attitude of the superpower in the north.

Even a small figure like Scar couldn't grasp Brother Xiao's mind, let alone those legendary beings that no one had ever heard of.

Scar, with a look of panic on his face, couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and looked at Brother Yan who was telling the story in front of him with awe. He was more unfathomable than he had imagined.

Thinking of this, I felt infinite respect in my heart.

"What's more, Brother Xiao has no respect for the police. He eliminates eight or ten undercover agents every year. In order to avenge Uncle Kun, he even blew up a senior police officer, a superintendent-level boss. This unscrupulous behavior has completely angered the Hong Kong Island Police and the Hong Kong Island Government."

"Do you think they will let Xiao-ge go?"

"Superintendent?"

A capable person of Scar's level only cares about the internal affairs of the society and doesn't care about the police outside.

Hearing the inside story told by Li Yan at this time, he felt fear in his heart. If what Brother Yan said was true, then an ordinary person like him would know it.

Brother Xiao is courting death!

The future is bleak and despairing.

There is no need for Brother Yan to lie to himself, that is to say, Brother Xiao is also finished, then who will take over after Brother Xiao?

Thinking of this, Scar's heart brightened.

Han Chen!

Apart from Brother Xiao, Han Chen is the only one with the highest status in the society. There is no doubt that Han Chen will be the leader in the future.

Thinking about it this way, everything Brother Yan did has a traceable origin.

If you think about it more carefully, when Han Chen returned to Hong Kong, all his cronies were Brother Yan's people. Han Chen was just a nominal boss pushed forward by Brother Yan, but in fact the backbone of the society was controlled by Brother Yan's people.

That.
When Scar thought of this, sweat dripped down his forehead and his face was full of fear.

People like Brother Yan are just like ghosts and gods, unattainable, and make people despair. Whether it is true or not, I still have to be loyal to Brother Yan honestly. Following such a person, I don't have to worry about my life.

When he thought of this, Scar put aside his messy thoughts, his waist slumped even more, and he looked at Li Yan respectfully, his eyes revealing unprecedented admiration and fanaticism.

Li Yan nodded in satisfaction, raised his arm, and effortlessly patted Scar's shoulder: "Follow Han Chen and work hard in the future. It's just that you started from a low level and your ability is not enough."

“Otherwise, you have a chance.”

This sentence made Scar's heart, which had just calmed down, rise with infinite desire again: "Brother Yan thinks too highly of Xiaoshan. A few years ago, I was a low-level gangster, living in danger of losing my job at any time. I might die on the street at any time."

"It is because of Brother Yan's cultivation that I have reached my current position. I feel overwhelmed in managing the people under me. Even if Brother Yan continues to promote me, I dare not ask for more."

Scar silently replaced his Chen Dashan with Chen Xiaoshan.

Of course Li Yan heard it, but he didn't care. He smiled meaningfully and said, "You are still young, you have a chance. Han Chen is my ally, and you are mine."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

Scar's expression was shocked when he heard this. This meant that he was closer to Brother Yan than Han Chen.

"Take your time. Don't be anxious. Your ability is still too poor. Even if you try to stand up, you won't be able to handle the wind and rain at that level. If you fall down, you will be smashed to pieces and there will be no recovery."

"Do more, gain more experience, as long as you have the ability."

"Location, don't worry about it!"

Scar's blood boiled after hearing this and he didn't know what to say. He knelt down with a plop and kowtowed to Li Yan.

After Li Yan helped him up, he said excitedly: "Brother Yan, I, Chen Dashan, was a rotten life. I should have died three years ago, but you saved me. You valued me so much, promoted me many times, and gave me a better future."

Scar raised three fingers and swore: "I, Chen Dashan, swear to heaven, from now on my life belongs to you. I will do whatever you ask me to do. Even if you want me to die, I will not say no. If I disobey you, I will die without a burial place."

Li Yan was also moved and patted Scar's shoulder, his eyes full of relief.

There is a god above our heads, and Li Yan has a deep reverence for God.

But I will not extend this naive mentality to other people. Although I don’t believe it too much, the oath also indirectly shows the other party’s attitude of loyalty at this time.

Before there are facts, the other party has no way to prove his or her sincerity, but you also have no way to prove that the other party is fake.

But Li Yan believed that with his current abilities, he would have no problem controlling someone like Scarface.

Scarface calmed down his agitated mood and asked, "Brother Yan, should I show my goodwill to Han Chen next?"

Li Yan glanced at Scarface calmly and said, "Can you hide this from Ni Yongxiao?"

"If he notices your mentality, you might fall before he does."

Scar's face suddenly turned red, and he felt that things at this level were too complicated and he really couldn't get involved. At this time, he understood the deep meaning of Li Yan's asking him to practice more. When it came to gambling at this level, he really didn't dare to move at all, and was completely at a loss.

Li Yan said: "Don't worry about other things, I will arrange them for you. All you have to do is continue to be loyal to Ni Yongxiao, do the things he asks you to do, and do your best to help him."

"He is very suspicious and you never know when he will test you, so you'd better not think about anything else and just help him with his work."

"Remember, it doesn't matter if you mess up things. That's a problem of ability. He will at most give you a lesson, but he won't kill you. But don't play tricks. That's a problem of attitude. Once Ni Yongxiao finds out that you have ulterior motives, he will not keep you."

Scar nodded his head, and finally glanced at Li Yan and asked in a low voice: "If."

"If he wants you to deal with me, just do it. If I can't even protect myself and fall into your hands, how can I protect your life!"

Li Yan said calmly with a blank expression on his face.

Scar was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Brother Yan in fear, who was looking up at the starry sky with a nonchalant expression, and suddenly felt a sense of despair.

That gap is like the difference between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Scar's awe of Li Yan was deeply engraved in his heart, and he never betrayed Li Yan for the rest of his life.
