Chapter 179 Social Reunion
Mong Kok, a large courtyard with three entrances, can have such a courtyard left over from the past in the downtown area where Hong Kong Island's economy is booming and high-rise buildings are built every day.
The identity of the owner of this courtyard is naturally not low.
The third time you enter the lobby of the courtyard, the doors and windows are closed. Sandalwood is lingering in the room. At the location of the shrine, there are countless tablets placed on the inner and outer floors. At this time, the red light looms inside the incense burner.
Leaded by three middle-aged men, there were more than a dozen men and women standing behind them, and even more people behind them. Many of them were crowded on both sides of the room because they couldn't stand in front of them.
Everyone looked very serious, and everyone held three lit incense sticks in their hands.
“Damn, it’s so unlucky, two are long and one is short!”
In the apparently serious secret room, a discordant voice suddenly came to mind.
"Crow, do you know where this place is, are you tired of living?"
After the first voice finished speaking, another one with long hair in the second row The man turned around and uttered harsh words to threaten the guy who was speaking not far away.
"Damn, handsome Nan, you think it's great that this is your Hongxing's cousin. If you hadn't asked for it this time, do you think we wanted to come?"
But it's obvious that the long-haired handsome boy Nan did not scare Dongxing Crow, who also had long hair and was tall.
If it were Zhang Pin here, he would probably recognize it at a glance. This Dongxing Crow is Da Fei, the loan shark who took all the other party's deposits and left the safe to frame the other party.
No, it seems that Zhang Pin has not seen the other party in person, so it is hard to say whether he can recognize him or not.
“Okay, Haonan, let’s pay homage to the Patriarch first!”
Next to him, a middle-aged man who would have seemed more familiar if Zhang Pin was around spoke up. The man looked somewhat similar to He Wenzhan. This guy looked amiable, but he was actually Jiang Tiansheng, the leader of Hongxing, the largest club in Hong Kong.
He has had many ups and downs in Hongxing. Not only does he have high prestige within the society, but he is also somewhat thin-faced in front of the entire Hong Kong underworld.
Especially after Jingkun was killed by Zhang Pin and he came back to life, he changed his previous arrogant attitude and became low-key and restrained.
The pretty boy he called out was Chen Haonan, the new leader of Hongxing Causeway Bay.
After Jiang Tiansheng spoke, neither Chen Haonan nor Crow Crow said anything else. Then, everyone present raised the incense in their hands with both hands.
Then they bowed down to worship in unison. Dozens of people in the room moved in unison. They looked solemn and solemn, but there was an extraordinary momentum in them.
After the worship, a fat man led by him was the first to step forward without hesitation and inserted the incense in his hand into the incense burner. Then several old men with gray hair came forward. After they had placed the incense, they took their turn. To Jiang Tiansheng.
Then came the leading camel of Dongxing, then the leading figure of He Liansheng, and then.
Everyone took turns walking to the incense burner in front of the ranking according to their seniority and club size. , inserting the incense in turn.
But except for the people from Hongxing, everyone else went around in a circle and came to the most important person, the majestic Guan Erye, and put the incense here. The people on that tablet were all from Hongxing. As well as the Hongmen seniors they put on their faces.
Due to the reputation of the Hongmen seniors, it was acceptable for people from other societies to pay homage to them, but it was obviously impossible to burn incense on Hong Xing's tablet at the same time. So they finally chose a compromise plan and presented the incense to the idol worshiped by all members of the mixed society, Guan Erye.
"Okay, several uncles are here. Except for their respective leaders, please go outside and wait. Haonan, you stay and refill tea for everyone. "
Jiang Tiansheng waited until everyone had finished offering incense, and then began to clear out some junior people, including the heads of the twelve halls in Hongxing. In the end, he only left Chen Haonan, a junior.
Except for one uncle from Dongxing, only Luo Tuo was left. Luo Tuo thought about it at the end and left Smiling Tiger behind, asking him to help pour tea together.
"Everyone, sit down!"
Deng Bo is not young, especially with his bloated figure, but as a veteran of the club, everyone present must give him face.
The most important thing in a mixed club in Hong Kong is to respect the seniors.
Because the big boss who once fought life and death to seize the territory found that he was no longer young when he took control of most of the power and resources. At this time, it is impossible to compete with others who are fierce and ruthless. Young people new to the industry.
And when they enjoyed great power, they gradually lost the courage to risk everything.
But it is obvious that they are not willing to give up everything they have worked hard for half a life, so they will no longer preach personal bravery within the club, but start to preach that they should respect their predecessors and listen to the experience of those who have been there.
After all, young people will grow old, but old people cannot become young. Even some guys who don’t believe in this theory will gradually accept and understand this as they grow older after making a career. reason.
So this custom was passed from generation to generation, and was eventually respected by all societies.
Deng Bo is an excellent example. When he was young, he was the leader of the office. When the election was changed, he wanted to run for re-election, but in the end he still failed to compete with the young people who had grown up.
So he had to abdicate with regret, because his strength was average and he posed no threat to the new leader. Instead, he survived many purges.
Just like this, more than ten years later, other senior members of the club died one by one due to various reasons. As a result, he became the oldest person in the Hong Kong club.
For this reason, later on, if major associations had any disputes or misunderstandings and felt that it was not worthwhile to go to war, they would like to call him to mediate.
Because he has lived long enough and knows many people, Uncle Deng’s status has become higher than when he was young. Although he is not powerful, major societies are happy to have such a person. On the contrary, He slowly took advantage of the situation and gradually grew up.
No, when major societies in Hong Kong encountered difficulties, large and small societies gathered together for meetings, and he became the host without hesitation.
“I must be well aware of inviting everyone here this time.”
"The head of the anti-gangster group of Wan Chai Police Station is dead. Hey, let him die. Everyone here, which society doesn't solve a few cases every year, but now it is no better than before. These media are too developed. What can we say about our society? Arranging people to enter the police force, thereby colluding with both internal and external parties, this pair I don’t know how the police force’s reputation will be affected, but what I do know is that since the news came out, my place has been raided by the police three times a day, and I can no longer do business.”
