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

Chapter 473: Not Serving in Prefectures and Counties, Not Approaching Taiwan Province
Li Yan secretly glanced at Huo Qiqiang, who was still immersed in the pleasure of promotion and looked excited, and smiled slightly.

If he could defeat Guan Mingchun, it would mean that Huo Qiqiang could take over his position. If not, if he was defeated by Guan Mingchun, it would mean that Qiangzi was not qualified to take the position.

But Li Yan knew that Gao Jianbin transferred this person here in order to take over his position as director.

In his opinion, I was just making things easier for him.

Judging from the current situation in the Police Department, it seems that Shen Cheng has the upper hand and Gao Jianbin is backing off step by step. In fact, he is planning to catch all of Shen Cheng's followers in one fell swoop and is preparing a big move.

What Li Yan can do is to catch Guan Mingchun's upper-class backers, Gao Jianbin and Liang Feihu, at the last moment and try to minimize the differences between the two.

Buy some more time for Qiangzi.
Without mentioning Li Yan's ups and downs and his endless thoughts, Shen Cheng's voice continued to ring out in the hall: "Zhang Tingye has been promoted to Senior Superintendent and is the deputy team leader of the Serious Crime Unit. He will assist the team leader in managing the Serious Crime Unit."

"Lin Yaohui, Xu Jinhong."

These are some important candidates for the sub-district police stations. Taking this opportunity, they were promoted one after another, and some were transferred horizontally to strengthen the regional police station.

Some regional superintendents were also transferred to the headquarters. For example, Senior Superintendent Ma Weinan, who was in charge of the operations department, was transferred to the operations department of the headquarters and was under Liang Feihu.

As far as Li Yan knew, Ma Weinan was originally Yi Ge's man, and took this opportunity to be transferred to Liang Feihu's department.

In fact, it is like this in every region and department. It is difficult to have one person have the final say because various forces are involved. When we say which department is whose territory, it only means that he is strong in this department or region, and it does not mean that all of them are his own people.

Just like in order to keep Ho Kai Keung, the headquarters transferred Guan Mingchun from the Gao faction. This is the headquarters balancing its power in West Kowloon to avoid being the only one in power.

This is an objective need for power stability. No matter whether it is Gao Binbin, Yi Ge, or even Shen Cheng, they will do the same even if they are one of our own.

Even the Chief of Police was restricted in various aspects, let alone himself. Li Yan was not too disappointed.

Modern politics is like this: you can work hard to develop power in order to climb up, but you will only have temporary use rights to these powers, not ownership rights, and you cannot take them with you wherever you go.

This means that no matter how they develop, the number and strength of individual forces will be controlled to a level far from being too big to be eliminated.

No matter how high you rise, no matter how high your position is, or how much power you have, with a letter of appointment, they can transfer you at will, or strip you of everything. No one can dream of ruling the country.

The first half of the ceremony ended, and Li Yan led the new senior police officers to see off the bigwigs from the headquarters, and then continued the second half. While everyone was there, he made some adjustments to the inspector-level middle-level staff of each district police station.

During this adjustment process, although Liu Jianming made many mistakes, because of his strong background, he had made some contributions in this case, and for the sake of Yin Jianqiang, he was promoted to Chief Inspector and transferred out of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

After joining O Ji and serving as a team leader of Group A, I was able to handle everything on my own.

Although the team leader has a low position, he can lead a group of people without interference and be responsible for a case. He has many opportunities to make meritorious service and can exercise his ability to handle cases independently. He is a symbol of training and reuse.

If one is promoted directly to a deputy position in a higher department without going through such a main responsible position, and if this happens a few times, there will basically be no significant development in the future and he can only stay in a marginal position and serve as a deputy to others.

This is what it means that if you have not served in a prefecture or county, you will not be eligible for a provincial government position.

Tall buildings rise from the ground!
The number one brother also has to receive training and cultivation from a humble beginning. The eldest brother is promoted from the middle brother, and the middle brother is promoted from the youngest brother. Those who have never been the number one brother since childhood lack the pattern, vision and responsibility of the number one brother.

If you want to be the boss and rule a certain territory when you grow up, that is impossible.

Because of his meritorious service in killing Han Chen, Lin Guoping was promoted from ordinary inspector to chief inspector, a promotion of two levels in a row. He was appointed by Li Yan as the leader of the serious crime group, and was legitimately allowed to lead two groups to handle cases independently. Unlike before, he could only temporarily serve as a deputy and concurrently as a team leader, because the team leader also required the rank of senior inspector.

Compared with the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, the overall rank of the Serious Crime Squad is one level lower. The Chief Inspector can only be a team leader in the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau, but can be a sub-group leader in the Serious Crime Squad.

Li Yan sent Liu Jianming to Guan Mingchun's territory, and placed Lin Guoping in the serious crime team to take charge, all in order to make use of them. These two people had experienced Han Chen's long-term oppression and had been tempered in the hell for many years. Their abilities, character, perseverance and other qualities were above ordinary people. They were also scheming and would definitely climb faster than ordinary people.

Li Yan also secretly holds the fatal handle of these two people, which will come in handy sooner or later.

However, these were all left to Huo Qiqiang, and Li Yan still hoped that Huo Qiqiang could control these powerful generals with his own brain, rather than using leverage to threaten them and end up in a disadvantageous position.

In this major personnel reshuffle, Li Yan, Huo Qiqiang and their own department have all achieved great development. Their trusted subordinates have been promoted and moved into important positions.

As a result, Li Yan established a situation in the police station with himself as the center and Huo Qiqiang and Guan Mingchun as the auxiliary, and his strength and prestige were unprecedentedly improved. After the meeting, Li Yan and Huo Qiqiang came to the fifth floor of the director's building, where Yin Jiqiang used to be the director's office. Yin Jiqiang went from here to a higher position, which shows that the feng shui here is very good.

The General Affairs Department was redecorated according to Li Yan's style and used as Li Yan's new office.

Yin Jianqiang is old and old-fashioned, so the style of his office is a bit heavy and solid. Li Yan is young, energetic and full of vigor, so he prefers fresh and bright colors and decorations.

Ho Kai Keung moved to the deputy director's office on the fourth floor.

Guan Mingchun, without any hesitation, took root on the third floor where Li Yan originally lived, and he was promoted smoothly in the officialdom.

In just ten years, Li Yan climbed from an ordinary undercover agent to the core power level of the police force, and his momentum is strong.

Guan Mingchun was also a firm believer in Feng Shui. He felt that there was no place in the entire police station with better Feng Shui than Li Yan's office. He didn't even make many changes to the previous decoration and layout. He just put some of his personal belongings there and started working.

Huo Qiqiang followed Li Yan to the director's office, still feeling as excited as he had just been at the meeting.

"Brother-in-law, I can't believe you're now the top police officer!"

Huo Qiqiang could not contain his joy: "I am now a Chief Superintendent and the First Deputy Commissioner. From now on, this core regional police station in West Kowloon will belong to us two brothers."

"You look so irritable, and you don't look serious at all?"

Li Yan was obviously very happy, but he did not act too presumptuously: "Nothing is ours. We are only entrusted by the Hong Kong government to temporarily manage a general district. Don't talk nonsense."

“Remember, don’t get carried away when you are proud.”

Although he said so, Li Yan was actually very happy in his heart. Although he had been an emperor of a great country before, the time was too short. When he was a prince, he was suppressed by Kangxi and was cautious and trembling all day long. He didn't enjoy life at all.

When you become an emperor, the future of the entire country and the fate of hundreds of millions of people weigh on your head. Although it may seem glorious, it is actually not as easy and comfortable as when you were a prince.

Although he had only been emperor for ten days, Li Yan was not happy at all as the pressure was too great.

The higher the position and the more power one has, the heavier the burden one has to bear. Therefore, Li Yan does not envy the position of the emperor at all.

After twelve years in Infernal Affairs, he finally became the top boss in a region. He could enjoy a respected status and had big bosses above him to rely on. It was much more comfortable than being an emperor.

Regardless, it's worth celebrating.

Huo Qiqiang calmed down immediately after being reminded by Li Yan, and said in a casual but still somewhat excited tone: "Brother-in-law, grandpa has prepared a celebratory dinner at his home in the mountaintop villa tonight, and asked me to invite you to go with him."

"Some important people in our family, my eldest uncle, second uncle, and my father will be there. I have never been so glorious before."

"Since this is Mr. Huo's intention, I would be disrespectful to refuse it!"

Li Yan smiled slightly. Mr. Huo was a man of the old school and strictly observed etiquette. Except for his three legitimate sons who were named according to the generation handed down by their ancestors, the others were named deliberately to avoid generation in order to show the honor of the legitimate sons.

Huo Qiqiang's father, Huo Zhenliang, was the last in the family and the youngest son. He married Li Dantong, the younger sister of Li Xin'er. Now that Huo Qiqiang is so successful, he is naturally valued by the family.

Qiangzi was not showing off, but was tactfully telling Li Yan about the specifications of tonight's banquet and the participants, including the Huo family's three legitimate sons and their families.

This also means that Li Yan was not treated as an outsider!
Of course, the Li family would also hold a celebration banquet for Li Yan, but since Li Yan was the son-in-law and a person of a different family, the banquet would be delayed for a few days to show that the strong guest should not suppress the host, and Li Yan did not care too much.

But these situations are very important to the Li family. No matter how powerful Li Yan is, he is still a relative by marriage. The etiquette and rules passed down for thousands of years are still very useful and can maintain the stability within the family.

In fact, Li Yan also agreed with this. In the era before Li Yan traveled through time, ordinary people had almost abandoned all these things. They did not pay attention to the hierarchy or the difference between host and guest at all, which made grandsons not look like grandsons, and grandfathers not look like grandfathers.

Men cannot make decisions at home, but women take charge in the house.

The man who is the head of the family has a status in the family that is even lower than the pet dog. It is really a pity!
