History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 380 On the Rewards for Deeds
Three days later, social order was gradually restored. Under the round-the-clock work of the Government Affairs Bureau, the Finance Bureau, and the Department of Health, there was no trace of turmoil on the streets.Governor's Mansion, under the banner, Gehong wore a suit and personally wore He Dingxian with the rank of knighthood, and encouraged him: "Officer He, you have done a good job, please thank the queen!"

Wearing a green uniform, He Dingxian carried the title of senior police superintendent on his shoulders and a newly awarded iron cross with a center on his chest. He stood at attention and saluted, shouting: "Thank you, sir, thank you, the queen!"

Dozens of lords from the upper class on Hong Kong Island were present to witness, including the former Chief of Political Affairs Macdonald Hung, Commander of the Hong Kong Garrison, Lord Luo Wenjin, Commander, Zhou Junnian, Commander and others. They were either chief executives among ghosts, or Among the high-level compradors among the Chinese, only the top bosses on Hong Kong Island are eligible to be awarded the Knight Medal.

Ho Ting-hsien's award of the Order of the Knights of the Order of the Knights represents a step into the top of the upper class, and he is on an equal footing with the four major family leaders such as Luo Wenjin and Zhou Chunnian.

"Do a good job. The law and order of Hong Kong Island cannot be separated from the Chinese police officers you lead." Ge Hongliang praised him insincerely. Fang raised his hands and applauded on the stage, and the jazz in the audience also stood up and applauded with smiles congratulate.

Sir He saluted the guests who came to watch the ceremony amidst the applause, and then walked down the stage.

"Ken sir."

Ge Hongliang awarded Jian Baoning the chief executive certificate on the spot, handed the certificate of commendation sealed with gold thread with both hands, and then bent down to shake hands with Jian Baoning.

"Thank you, sir." Jian Baoning held the certificate in his left hand and stood at attention with his right to salute, showing a very solemn expression.

The ceremony is over.

Except for Sir Zhou Junnian, who was older and physically handicapped, and the commander of the armed forces who represented the military left in a hurry, the rest of the jazz stayed at the scene, took the red wine handed by the waiter, and had a small upper class in the Governor's Mansion. reception.

"Ah Yin."

"congratulations."

Wearing a suit and a medal, Luo Wenjin came forward with a wine glass to congratulate: "The recipient of the Knight's Order who is less than 30 years old has set a new record for the age of the award on Hong Kong Island. I have to call you sir."

His eyes fell on the knight medal on He Dingxian's chest, with a hint of envy in his expression.

It's simply to envy the other party's youth, ability, and pride.

You know, getting a medal at the age of 60 or 30 can be prestigious for at most 30 to 50 years, but getting the medal at the age of [-] can be prestigious for [-] years, and it takes a lot of time to become famous before it is too early!
"Uncle Jin."

However, He Dingxian smiled implicitly, and said with the attitude of a junior: "I don't dare to be, it's just that the brothers are willing to do it, and a little bit of luck."

"Papa." Luo Wenjin patted him heavily on the shoulder twice, admiring: "I used to always think that your sword was going too far and you could easily hurt yourself, but now I understand your self-confidence, every step is very accurate, it is really a formidable young man. "

"Hong Kong Island needs a strong man like you!"

He Dingxian drank the red wine, shook his head and said, "I'm so honored."

"How is Ah Yun?" After Luo Wenjin drank the wine, he began to talk about his daily life. He Dingxian said with a smile: "I have been pregnant for more than four months, and I am raising my baby at home. I will take Ah Yun back to have a look when I have time."

"No need." Luo Wenjin shook his head: "I will visit her with Wen Hui in a while, it's not easy for pregnant women to run around."

"Alright."

He Dingxian laughed when he saw this.

Luo Wenjin's attitude towards him was vastly different from before, but it could not be summed up simply with a word of snobbery.First of all, as the talker of the family, he must put the interests of the family first. Secondly, Luo Wenjin did not do anything excessive except treat him coldly.

In the end, He Dingxian had the intention to cling to the Luo family and take advantage of the situation to climb up, so it was normal for Luo Wenjin to be wary.In terms of snobbery, He Dingxian is the biggest snobbery. If people pursue snobbery without understanding, how can they climb up the ladder?

As long as it is not purely benefiting animals and doing whatever it takes to benefit, there is a bottom line and morality.

Fengyundi is Vanity Fair!
If He Dingxian took advantage of the situation and failed to climb up, he would be scolded as a waste material, if he took advantage of the situation and failed to return, he would be scolded as a white-eyed wolf, but He Dingxian succeeded in climbing up, the kindness that should be remembered will not be forgotten, and the reward that should be given will not be forgotten. He is the most admired role model of success in society.

Luo Wenjin not only admires him, but even admires him a little. In the next 20 years, the four major families may have to change their names.
"I'll go and chat with Sir Jian first. If I have other things to talk about, I won't disturb your meeting with the other lords." Luo Wenjin looked back at the governor and smiled at Jian Baoning's position.He Dingxian nodded happily and said, "OK."

Immediately, Luo Wenjin raised his glass and walked down to the next group of people, and when someone saw that there was an empty space in front of Sir He, he naturally raised his glass and came forward to meet him.As far as the big brothers are concerned, friends are regardless of nationality and class, no matter what means they use to climb up.

As long as you reach the corresponding class and abide by the tacit understanding of the class, you will naturally be accepted by the new class.

Everyone in the upper class actually welcomes newcomers to join, because every newcomer represents a new force. Unfortunately, whether someone can squeeze into the circle is not controlled by the insiders.It is a consensus that the higher the social level, the smaller the number of people. Human society is a pyramid.The highest point is nothing more than one or two people. They are located on the upper tower of Hong Kong Island, but they are not the top of the tower.

The small reception after the award ceremony is itself a social event set up by the jazz class to welcome newcomers.

He Dingxian then exchanged business cards with Mai Dangxiong, He Shirong, Wu Zhongjing and others, and chatted for a few more words.Among the jazz present, nine out of ten were ghosts, and there were only four or five Chinese, including mixed-race families.

However, it seems that there is no distinction between the elite and the Chinese, and that's right, those who got the Knight's Order on Hong Kong Island are either political officials, or big government-business compradors, or rentiers on Hong Kong Island.The interests of individuals in Hong Kong have long been far greater than the interests of the country at heart.

As long as they are willing to unite to expand Hong Kong Island's plate and distribute more money, in fact, no one cares who is in charge of Hong Kong Island.But as long as someone touches their interests and devalues ​​the wealth in their hands, none of them dare to subvert it.

If Ho Ting-yin were ten or twenty years later, when rentiers on Hong Kong Island took up all the business onshore, it would be difficult to repeat the double tenth action.Now they don't value the shares on shore, and most of the capital is in the circulation of public services or energy, infrastructure, land and other industries, and the riots in the manufacturing industry will not affect them.On the contrary, it was He Dingxian's previous action to suppress bandits in Nanyang that was highly praised and left a good impression on them.

"These people only talk about dignity and inferiority, regardless of the appearance of the nation. It is more disgusting than imagined." When He Dingxian left the governor's mansion by car, he held a stack of business cards in his hand and looked at them one by one: "Many people advocate Darwinian evolution, but when you see a group of strong people come together and treat the bottom people as just another creature."

"You must not be happy."

Every self-made mogul is bound to spend some time adjusting to the transition.This nausea is like the feeling of weightlessness when the plane ascends, and it will be fine after entering the stratosphere to adapt.Moreover, the bigwigs in the upper class often continued the "sheda" style of work in the first two generations and advocated competition, but in the third and fourth generations, unity will become the social law they advocate.

Because, they will find that after reaching the top of the society, there is no upward path, unite with each other, prevent the people below from climbing up, and keep their current social status, which becomes their most important cause.

Friday.

Wanchai, a cigar bar.

Commissioner of Police Jian Baoning, Senior Superintendent He Dingxian, Director of Customs Zhao Dunxian, and Director of Corrections Mason sat in the box, all leaning on the sofa, puffing and smoking, quietly tasting cigars: "Hoo!"

"Da da da."

Outside the glass door.

A British police officer in a suit and with a gun on his waist raised his hand and knocked on the door, and said, "Sir Jian, Sir Gewen, and Sir Bird are here together."

"Please come in."

Jian Baoning was sitting on the sofa, holding a cigar in his mouth with his left hand, raised his right arm and waved casually.The police officer immediately opened the door and invited two officers in suits to enter. The chief of the fire department, Ge Wen, and the deputy chief, Byrd, came into the room together, nodding and calling: "Sir Jian, sir Zhao, sir Mason."

"He sir."

Gewen's expression flashed a strange look.

He Dingxian leaned against the sofa, unbuttoned two buttons on the chest of his suit, put his straight legs on the glass tabletop, and was using his hands to tease the hair of the sexy horse kneeling in front of the sofa and cutting the cigar cap, ignoring the two officers who entered the door.

Among the four officers, his sitting posture is the most arrogant and casual, but the wrinkled suit gives him an air of arrogance and unruliness, especially showing the masculine charm.

Jian Baoning just nodded calmly to the new officer at the same level, and did not stand up to welcome him.

Mason, the director of corrections, stood up and went forward to shake hands: "Welcome to you, sir, to come to our director's cigar bar."

This cigar bar was specially funded by Mason. It has the most professional cigar room, wine cellar, and chess and card room, and even includes an arms room, and eight bedrooms. bedroom.

However, as the host, Mason only provided a place for socializing, and he was not the talker of several people, but the one with the lower power ranking.

"Thank you Sir Mason for the invitation."

Ge Wen hurriedly bowed to thank him.

After hearing the name of the cigar bar, Bird felt a little touched in his heart, and turned his attention to the arrogant Chinese.He was the only person present who was not a director-level position, and there was only one reason to be able to enjoy it in the director's cigar bar in a grandiose manner.

He has the rights of the Director!

No rank required.

"Sit down and smoke one first?" Zhao Dunxian got up and invited Gewen and Bird to sit in the sofa area, and pointed to the glass showcase with a smile: "What flavor do you two like, and which company?"

"Just Coy." Gewen announced a sign, and Mason opened a constant temperature cabinet to take out a box for the two of them. Without waiting for the waiter's help, Gewen picked up the cigar cutter on the table and started trimming the cap.Jian Baoning said, "I call everyone here today, mainly to talk about the performance of the four major disciplined forces during the Double Tenth Movement, and to determine rewards and punishments."

Gewen panicked and looked up to the opposite side.

He Dingxian was staring at him with a cigar in his mouth and said: "Since the four major armies are one, they should reward each other for meritorious service. Let's evaluate the police officers first."
