Hong Kong Movies: The Boss's Global Empire

It is the belief of every ice cream man.

"Team Leader, I support you. We'll do whatever you say." Wang Manling said, "I can also explain to Lun Sir on your behalf."

Lu Zhilian shook his head. "I'll talk to Lun Sir myself. You should stay here and direct the actions of the other teams." He said, "Although there's little hope, we can't give up even if there's only a glimmer of hope."

Wang Manling nodded vigorously.

In the ice cream building on Java Road in North Point,

Lun Tianyuan was standing with his hands behind his back, watching the traffic below him. "These are just your conjectures."

"Bold speculation and careful argumentation—that's what you taught us, Sir Lun." Lu Zhilian said, "From what we can see right now, this is the only possibility."

"The evil forces are extending their hands into every corner they can reach." "If this continues, there is a high possibility that a real mafia will emerge in Hong Kong."

The Mafia originated in Sicily, Italy.

Its nature is similar to that of the hometown associations in Hong Kong.

A group of fellow villagers in a foreign land were connected by blood ties and local accents, and later started to turn to the underworld in order to make a living.

What really changed the nature of the Mafia was

Prohibition was a nationwide prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933 that prohibited the brewing, transportation, and sale of alcoholic beverages.

Alcoholism, domestic violence, and political corruption dominated by taverns were rampant in every corner of America. At that time, some devout Christians led the call to ban the alcoholic beverage trade.

Ostensibly to repair a troubled society, it is actually to weaken political opposition.

As the two factions fought, the Mafia quietly rose to prominence.

When he took over the importation (bootlegging), manufacturing and sale of alcohol, he not only made a lot of money,

They even took the opportunity to extend their influence into every corner of society, such as the entertainment and political circles...

Especially politics!

The Mafia, united in their efforts, used money and votes to prop up their close members of Congress! This led to the creation of the Five Great Families and the Mafia Commission!

The police finally came to their senses and started to crack down on the mafia, but it was too late!

The Mafia has gone from being a local problem to a national problem.

Its black blood has been mixed with the blood of America, and it can no longer be separated!

In Asia Pacific,

Currently, the most similar organization to the Mafia is the Yakuza in Japan.

Typical examples include the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Inagawa-kai. Behind these organizations stand the political families of the East!

Lun Tianyuan shook his head. "Mr. Lu, you're being a bit alarmist." "Hong Kong's political environment is different."

Most of the legislators in Hong Kong Island are appointed by the Governor.

Two nouns also appeared.

Official members and non-official members. Regardless of which type of member,

They are all designated and appointed by the Governor. "Sir Lun."

Lu Zhilian said, "That was in the past."

"The 'Green Paper on Representative Government' released last year clearly stated that in order to facilitate the development of democracy during the transition period, indirect elections would be implemented..." The 'Green Paper on Representative Government' was a first for Hong Kong.

The most important point is that it took the initiative to propose democratic elections. Before that,

The Hong Kong government has never held any elections.

All important positions are appointed by the Governor.

The Governor is also the President of the Legislative Council.…

Lun Tianyuan waved his hand and said, "We are the Independent Commission Against Corruption, a law enforcement agency, not a legislative body." Lu Zhilian could only shut up.

"Sir Lu, you've strayed from the topic." Lun Tianyuan turned around.

He said earnestly, "We're just investigating cases, and the agency doesn't require every case to be solved." "If we can investigate, we'll investigate. If we can't, we'll let it go."

"Time is always on our side." Lu Zhilian felt a little ashamed: "Sorry Sir!"

"You are very qualified, but you are a little impatient."

Lun Tianyuan said, "Remember, haste makes waste." "Yes, Sir!"

Lun Tianyuan followed up, "Now it seems you're worried that the Overseas Trust Bank will return empty-handed?" Lu Zhilian smiled bitterly, "Yes, I think it's very likely."

"Once the IPO is successful, Overseas Trust Bank will be able to fill the gap..." Lun Tianyuan nodded. "That's great."

Lu Zhilian was stunned. "Very good?" "Zhilian."

Lun Tianyuan gestured for Lu Zhilian to take a seat.

He said slowly: "What is the purpose of our investigation?"

Lu Zhilian said without hesitation: "Maintain the rule of law in Hong Kong and fight corruption." "Why fight corruption?"

"To ensure Hong Kong's political clarity and a good business environment."

Lun Tianyuan said: "In the final analysis, it is all for the huge market in Hong Kong."

"It's inevitable for a company to incur losses, but if it's willing to continue operating and improve and make up for the losses, that's probably a good thing." "Of course, if there's indeed corruption or bribery involved, we'll still investigate."

"Just be careful about the limits."

Lu Zhilian asked cautiously, "Sir Lun, has the boss given any new instructions?"

Lun Tianyuan was silent for a moment and said, "There are members of the Executive Council and the Legislative Council who are speaking well of Lu Wendong, and the big boss is also under pressure." Theoretically,

The Governor's power in Hong Kong is unparalleled!

The Governor has full authority to appoint and remove all non-ex-official members of the Executive Council and all members of the Legislative Council.

The Governor acts on the advice of the Executive Council.

They will only play an advisory and supporting role.

The Governor has the power to legislate, sell land, appoint judges and public officials, pardon criminals and the term of office of judges.

The Governor also has the power to appoint Justices of the Peace and to take disciplinary action (such as fines) or even dismissal from office against all government civil servants (except the Chief Secretary, Financial Secretary, Attorney General and the Commander of the Armed Forces in Hong Kong).

In addition,

The Governor also has the power to pardon prisoners (including death row prisoners) and waive fines.

The Governor is like the incarnation of God in Hong Kong Island. There is nothing he cannot do.

but!

Even if the Governor is the incarnation of God,

He also needs help when he is doing things. But the main population in Hong Kong is Chinese.

If you want to manage Hong Kong Island well, you cannot do without the Chinese.

The general practice of the Hong Kong government is to select prestigious and powerful Chinese people from the market.

They were then granted titles such as Justice of the Peace and non-official councillors, allowing these Chinese tycoons to assist the Hong Kong government in governing Hong Kong.

Lun Tianyuan sighed: "Lu Wendong is not only the leader of the Hongxing Society, but also controls several listed companies."

"You also saw the scene at the Central Pier that day. Even Shark Dantong, who had braved the wind and waves for decades, was beaten to a pulp by Lu Wendong." "If for no reason..."

Lu Zhilian understood.

The situation had indeed changed again. He could only helplessly say, "I understand."

Lun Tianyuan said: "You can go straight to Huanglong, but you must remember the limit." Lu Zhilian hesitated,

Being told this by Lun Tianyuan,

He was a little bit at a loss.

"Investigating a case, that's what it is."

Lun Tianyuan said, "However, the boss has also said that as long as there is solid evidence, no one can escape legal sanctions."

Lu Zhilian suddenly regained his confidence: "Yes Sir!" He thought to himself,

The key is evidence!

Now the main person involved, Ye Zhuangling, has absconded. Those who can open up a loophole,

Or the account book,

Or maybe it was Huang Changzan and the others. ".Sir Lun."

Lu Zhilian said, "I will fulfill my duties." He decided to meet Lu Wendong first.

This man is so awesome.

Lu Zhilian was a little dissatisfied.

He was also afraid that this man would become his inner demon.

at night,

On the open-air balcony of the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, Lu Wendong was entertaining Lu Hantao.

His nickname is Lu Taigong.

In fact, he is only about fifty years old, and the reason why he is called Taigong is that

Of course, it's because he is now the grandfather of all the villagers in the New Territories! Hundreds of thousands of villagers are united under Lu Hantao's banner!

"Back then, Grandpa Lu united the villagers of six hundred villages in the New Territories to petition the Civil Affairs Bureau, thus helping them obtain the right to be a member of the household." Lu Wendong smiled and raised his glass. "Just for this one act, Grandpa Lu's merits are immeasurable."

Dingquan is the New Territories Small House Policy, which was implemented in December 1972.

It stipulates that anyone who is 18 years old or above,

The paternal lineage is derived from the male indigenous inhabitants who were recognized as rural residents in the New Territories in the 1890s.

Each person can apply once in his/her lifetime to build a small house with a maximum of 3 floors (up to 27 meters/8.22 meters high) within the approved area, with an area of ​​no more than 700 square meters per floor.

No need to pay land premium to the government.

Lu Taigong's face suddenly lit up.

The main reason why he was called Taigong by the people in the New Territories was because of this incident.

He said aloud, "Back then, the villagers were poor, and most of them lived in old village houses, makeshift housing, and even illegal structures." "But the foreigners were never seen, so we had to fight."

"That's right, we have to fight."

Lu Wendong said, "If we don't shout it out, how will the foreigners know what we need?"

Lu Taigong laughed and said, "Mr. Lu, your throat is coughing very loudly now. Who in Hong Kong and Kowloon doesn't know Mr. Lu?" "It's just an empty reputation."

Lu Wendong waved his hand: "I am just a castle in the air, unlike Taigong who rests with the New Territories." Xiangjiang consists of three regions,

Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, New Territories,

It looks like a trinity, but in reality it is quite different.

For example, when the white people first took over the Hong Kong Island,

This place is a rocky mountain and there are not many people.

For example, most of the flat land on Hong Kong Island was created by reclaiming mountains and filling the sea.

This is because it was the place where a large number of refugees fled and settled since the 40s.

It has always been inhabited and multiplied by villagers, and,

The New Territories' bread and butter isn't Hong Kong Island or Kowloon, but mainland China...

That's right,

At that time, the New Territories and the mainland had always had very close commercial relations, and the main form of this was the market!

For example, the current Sino-British Street at the port,

In fact, it is a market where the country people go every five days...

For example, the five major families in the New Territories and Lu Taigong all built markets.

On the one hand, it is convenient for the villagers.

On the other hand, it is for their own benefit.

For example, the Shihu Market controlled by Lu Taigong has been transformed from a market town into a commercial center, making a lot of money.

And those who come to the market,

In addition to the country people in the New Territories,
