The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 268 The martial arts world is in turmoil!

Before we knew it, it was already December.

During this period, a remarkable event occurred in the Hong Kong underworld.

Hung Hing leader Chiang Tin-sang suddenly stepped down, handing over the leadership to Han Bin, the head of the Kwai Tsing branch.

This was quite sudden, catching all the bigwigs of Hong Kong's triads off guard.

"What is Jiang Tiansheng trying to do? He was doing so well as the leader, and suddenly he wants to step down?"

"Has this guy gone mad? He actually gave up the leadership position to someone with a different surname?"

"There's definitely something wrong within Hung Hing, and it's a very serious problem. I just don't know why it hasn't been exposed yet. Otherwise, why would Chiang Tin-sang suddenly do this when everything was fine?"

"Hmph, Hung Hing is bound to be in chaos for a while, and that's our chance!"

"..."

In short, the news caused a great uproar, with all sorts of opinions being expressed.

But just when the rumors were at their most intense, Jiang Tiansheng actually stepped down from his position as the leader.

This caused a sensation throughout Hong Kong's underworld.

However, what annoyed outsiders was that there was no trouble within Hung Hing.

Soon, Han Bin successfully took over the position of leader.

Rumors about Han Bin have spread throughout Hong Kong, quickly sweeping across the entire island.

"What merits or abilities does Han Bin of Kwai Tsing possess to succeed Han as the leader of Hung Hing?"

"Among the many hall masters of Hung Hing, there are quite a few who are stronger than Han Bin in terms of both seniority and strength. How could it be Han Bin's turn to take the position?"

"There's a conspiracy involved! There's definitely a conspiracy here!"

"..."

The rumors circulating in the martial arts world are mostly divisive and their purpose is self-evident.

Behind the scenes, countless underworld forces wanted to use this opportunity to shake Hung Hing's position in the underworld, and some even hoped that Hung Hing would fall into internal strife so that they could profit from the chaos.

Furthermore, some individuals who had good relationships with certain leaders of the Hung Hing Society, under the guise of doing what was best for their friends, secretly engaged in many underhanded acts of sowing discord.

Amidst such a torrent of rumors, even some within Hung Hing were losing their composure.

Jiang Tiansheng, who had already relinquished his position as leader, remained completely oblivious to the situation, as if he hadn't noticed anything at all. Even a fool would know there was something wrong here.

During this time, Liang Kun made a special phone call to Wu Feng and told him an interesting story.

The strategist of Tung Sing, Gu Huolun, actually called him personally, saying that Tung Sing was willing to help him compete for the leadership position of Hung Hing, on the condition that Hung Hing own all of its territory in Causeway Bay.

Liang Kun naturally couldn't agree, but he didn't refuse immediately either. Instead, he wanted to keep the other party hanging and find out what other tricks and plans Tung Sing had up its sleeve.

"They don't have any backup plans whatsoever!"

Wu Feng laughed and scolded, "If Tung Sing were really that powerful, they wouldn't be suppressed by Hung Hing. Being the second-in-command of all the triads in Hong Kong isn't a pleasant experience!"

"Haha, I was just teasing them!"

Liang Kun's hoarse voice sounded particularly jarring through the microphone: "What a pity, I was hoping to whet their appetite a bit more, maybe even get some benefits out of it!"

"You fucking want to stay in the underworld?"

Wu Feng was speechless. He said irritably, "Don't always act with a gangster mentality. Getting involved with Dongxing will affect your reputation even if you haven't done anything!"

"Also, get your men moving. It's best if nothing goes wrong in Mong Kok!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Feng thought for a moment and then wrote to Jiang Tiansheng: Don't delay any longer, it's easy for unexpected changes to occur, now is the time!
So, while rumors were flying around the Hong Kong underworld, Hung Hing had already arranged the succession ceremony for the new leader and was going to hold a grand celebration with its gates wide open.

The news once again shook the entire Hong Kong underworld!

Clearly, the fact that Hung Hing dared to release such information indicates that there are no dissenting voices within the organization, or that dissenting voices are unlikely to cause much of a stir.

If Han Bin successfully becomes the new leader of Hung Hing, it will indicate that the transfer of power went very smoothly.

But this doesn't make sense.

It's important to understand that any power transition within any organization is inevitably accompanied by bloodshed and internal turmoil.

It's clear that Hung Hing won't face that situation this time.

However, this doesn't align with the thinking of the Hong Kong triad bosses.

When did the transfer of power among triad leaders become so peaceful and free of conflict?
Little did they know that Jiang Tiansheng, Liang Kun, Han Bin, and Wu Feng, these top-tier gang leaders, were all in cahoots.

The reason why Jiang Tiansheng stepped down from his position so cleanly and decisively was all pre-arranged.

Once Hung Hing opens its gates at the San Sheng Palace to celebrate Han Bin's succession as leader, the matter is considered completely settled.

This situation was a great pity for the other gang leaders who came to witness the ceremony.

The morale of the Hung Hing side was high! It wasn't because Han Bin became the new leader of Hung Hing that it was spurred on, but because under Han Bin's leadership, more than fifty members of the 49 group were brought together to take up positions and cause a ruckus!
What is the probability of this?
In other words, more than fifty members of the club's lower ranks have successfully entered the middle ranks of the club through their own efforts and accumulated merits!

If you're lucky, you might even have the chance to rise to the top and become the head of a certain branch!
Whether in officialdom or among ordinary people, what excites ordinary members the most is always when they are promoted and make money, which is also the time that boosts morale the most.

"What is Hung Hing doing? They've appointed so many people at once, can they manage to organize it all?"

Many other club leaders who were watching the ceremony couldn't help but mutter to themselves upon seeing the scene.

"You don't know this!"

A fellow member of the gang next to him explained, "These guys who are really good at their jobs are all elite members of the gang who recently participated in the fight against that guy on our island!"

"Rewarding those who have made contributions is the most correct approach!"

"As for whether or not they can control these newly emerging bigwigs, that's up to Hung Hing themselves!"

At this point, the clearly experienced gangster sighed, "Just watch, once the news spreads far and wide, the other gangs will have a good show to watch!"

"What do you mean?"

Clearly, this underworld boss wasn't exactly a genius.

"Hehe, Hung Hing can reward merit, doesn't that set an excellent example for the lower-level members of other triads?"

The seasoned gang leader sighed, "Which gang leader would dare to guarantee that there are no instances of unfair rewards and punishments within their organization?"

"If there's no response, believe me, after today, many other triads will have talented and ambitious 'Four Nines' voluntarily joining Hung Hing!"

"This……"

The person who asked the question was speechless, unsure of what to say for a moment.

As it turned out, it really wasn't unexpected!
After the ceremony for the new leader of Hung Hing to take over ended, the entire Hong Kong underworld began to descend into chaos.

Many other powerful members of the lower-level clubs seized the opportunity to cause trouble, demanding that the clubs give them a fair chance.

On the Hung Hing side, there were no major changes despite Han Bin's rise to power.

In other words, Uncle Hing, the head of the Tuen Mun branch, voluntarily stepped down and made way for Han Bin's brother, Dinosaur, to become the head of Tuen Mun.

In addition, the head of Kowloon Tong also voluntarily retired, and Han Bin's other brother, Sai Yen, successfully became the head of Kowloon Tong.

As for the other hall masters, there are no signs of change.

Oh, so Leung Kwan also stepped down, handing over the position of Mong Kok's leader to Toastmaster Siu Keung.

This was something that had been agreed upon beforehand. It was just a matter of the old and new leaders changing hands in a short time. Since it didn't affect the interests of the other hall masters, it naturally didn't cause any trouble.

In fact, Han Bin was only the nominal leader.

Han Bin did not intend to take over the most core department of the gang, the Criminal Investigation Department, and the most core force, the Firearms Team. Instead, he allowed Jiang Tiansheng or a trusted leader of the department to continue to manage them.

To reiterate, all Han Bin wants is the Hung Hing platform.

As long as the Hung Hing platform remains stable, his business and profits will be more secure.

As for getting involved in Hong Kong's underworld affairs, or leading Hung Hing to further advance, he had no such intention.

Furthermore, Han Bin gradually realized that the supporters behind Hung Hing only recognized those with the surname Chiang, and he had no intention of actively undermining this tacit understanding.

Furthermore, Hung Hing's development has reached its limit!

Han Bin understood perfectly well that the Hong Kong government would never allow him to continue to grow and strengthen his business.

Of course, there are other safe ways to make Hung Hing take things further.

That would mean concentrating resources to infiltrate various parts of the New Territories, but the time, effort, and money required are simply not something a triad should be doing.

Han Bin clearly lacked the patience and means; wouldn't it be better to be the king of Southeast Asian goods?

Similarly, Han Bin, the leader of Hung Hing, was more of an internal coordinator.

Even internal coordination is handled by strategist Chen Yao, so there's no need to spend too much time or effort on internal gang affairs.

In fact, this is also the main reason why some content in the "Young and Dangerous" movies cannot stand up to scrutiny.

In the first film, after much effort, Liang Kun finally became the leader, but he didn't immediately take control of important departments like the Punishment Hall and the Firearms Team.

As a result, he was killed instantly at close range by the so-called 'Wanchai Gun God'!
Such a thing would never happen within a top-tier triad in Hong Kong!
There's also a third installment where the leader, Chiang Tin-sang, is assassinated in the Netherlands, and the prime suspect, Chan Ho-nam, manages to escape easily, leaving him with no chance to prove his innocence.
If this happened within a triad, the Punishment Hall would be mobilized immediately.

They wouldn't care whether Chan Ho-nam was innocent or not; they would immediately mobilize to arrest him.

If Chan Ho-nam dared to resist, he would have been stabbed to death.

Triads don't care about evidence. After something like this, how come Chan Ho-nam is still alive and well?

It can only be said that the protagonist was incredibly lucky; otherwise, anyone else would have been buried with him long ago.
