Chapter 303 Move forward courageously
Liang Xinqi was eating roast goose, and asked with a puzzled look on her face: "Tangzai, what does Banana Man mean? No one has ever mentioned it."
She was lively and a little eccentric, and was three years older than Yin Zhaotang. She called him "Tangzi" in private, with Yin Zhaotang's consent.
After all, she sometimes calls him "brother-in-law", and sometimes she is too concerned about honorifics and it distances people from each other.
Yin Zhaotang thought that Tangzi's name was quite good, and he smiled contemptuously and answered patiently, "Yellow skin and white heart, that's a banana person."
"Pfft!" Liang Xinqi laughed so hard that she covered her mouth, and the corners of her mouth couldn't close. She laughed happily: "Yellow skin and white heart, Tangzi, you are really talented."
Liang Chaoying nodded slowly and said seriously: "Many opinion leaders and representatives in Hong Kong's political arena are indeed fighting for the interests of foreigners in the name of Chinese."
"It's totally fine to call this kind of person a banana boy!"
Liang Xinying kicked Ximei's leg with the tip of her shoe, suggesting that she should laugh less. Liang Xinqi quickly picked up some food and ate, no longer smiling foolishly.
Liang Xinying sighed: "Chaoying, does the quarrel in the newspaper have to develop to the point of bloodshed?"
Women know that the real test is blood.
Liang Chaoying shook her head and said, "Sister, legal disputes and public opinion discussions don't need to involve bloodshed."
"Citizens have their own opinions, and the world has its own justice."
"Whether you are a laborer, white-collar worker, driver, or dishwasher, you have lived in Hong Kong for a lifetime, but you still can't tell who is good and who is bad, who is right and who is wrong? Neighbors don't understand finance, accounting, and law, but they have their own wisdom. However, they only have power, and some people always think that power is the greatest and can manipulate people's hearts. As long as they have guns, they always think that guns are the greatest and can have the final say."
"Asking them to admit defeat and mistakes is like digging up their ancestors' graves. Those with power will use it to get you, and those with guns will shoot you."
"You talk to them about justice, and they say they are the justice. Then we can only see whose justice is more coarse!"
Liang Xinying is a doctor who saves lives and heals the wounded. She looked reluctant and said, "I hope we can talk to the customs."
Yin Zhaotang looked at Liang Chaoying with admiration. As expected of someone who would ascend to the throne in the future, even when he was young, he had deep insights into politics.
Knowing that guns are important does not mean you are very smart.
But if you are willing to respect the wisdom of your neighbors, you have the potential to challenge the throne.
Young man, you have a very high political stance!
Lao Zhong can fight and talk with the Chinese police force, and they can discuss and negotiate. A very important point is that everyone has a consensus: "Hong Kong Island cannot do without the triads, and order is more important than face."
"The interests of the Chinese are more important than those of the foreigners."
Even the British Hong Kong government recognized the above consensus, so the Chinese dared to invest in Hong Kong Island and develop the economy, and only then did the Chinese dare to enter politics and serve the Hong Kong government.
Only then will the New Territories be put aside for joint development.
The triads only do triad things, they only care about money and they don't engage in armed movements.
The mainland only attracts investment and does not send troops to the border to create panic.
The fact that Zhonghe Electronics Factory was selling its products did not affect the above social consensus at all.
There is even a consensus on developing the economy and creating jobs.
But there are people waving sticks and shouting for killing.
Just because some Chinese politicians disagree with "Hong Kong People Governing Hong Kong", Yin Zhaotang has only one answer: "Talking is fine, and you can write with a pen, but you can't wave a big stick, hit me with a stick, and then say 'I'll teach you a lesson, be a good citizen'. Pick that star, that's called slavery!"
"Hong Kong people have already voted with their voices. People in the streets, in the business and political circles, and even in his hometown in the Mainland all support 'Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong', except him. If he wants to be the last remnant of the British colonial rule, I will satisfy him and beat him until he shuts up!" Yin Zhaotang lightly punched the table, deliberately holding back his strength, but his rapid breathing and slightly red cheeks were enough to prove how angry he was.
Liang Chaoying was very moved, but he would never let his emotions get the better of him. He warned, "Mr. Yin, the Executive Council member said that the Customs and Organized Crime and Triads were working together. There must be a nod from the Governor behind this."
"Zhong Shengyuan's subordinates have a complex network of forces. Be careful not to fall into the trap of outsiders. I suggest you give in and buy the parts from Japan Island. You can earn less and save yourself a lot of trouble."
As the first Chinese in British Hong Kong politics, Zhong Shengyuan was a representative figure supported by MacLehose and an opinion leader in the political arena.
Although foreigners can make any Chinese an opinion leader, it is not easy for Chinese to become opinion leaders.
Over the past two decades, the strength of the Chinese in Hong Kong has been gradually increasing.
Since the 70s, a group of Chinese elites trained by foreigners have also been reproducing and expanding their influence at a rapid rate.
Sometimes where there is music, there are rats; where there is leftover food, there are cockroaches.
A few traitors evolved into several families, then developed into a group, and then developed into a broad political faction.
For example, pro-Chinese people have the "Four Modernizations Association", the police force has the "Cigar Club", and the localists have various chambers of commerce.
Pro-British factions would also form alliances with each other and fight together, and several democratic fronts developed from this.
In order to strengthen the power ties with the foreigners, marriage, bribery, selling PY, and becoming lovers are common.
Sometimes beating one person will provoke opposition from a group of people.
Just as the police cannot eradicate the triads, the political arena cannot eradicate the banana people. The loyal ones are not powerful enough to overturn the world, and they are as reckless as mayflies trying to shake a tree. It is normal to take a step back and the world will be broader.
Liang Chaoying is not being timid, he is just stating a fact.
Yin Zhaotang looked at him and said, "Mr. Liang, if you want to get involved in this world, you need to have the courage to move forward even if it means getting hurt. There are so many people supporting you, but if you still back down, you will disappoint many people."
Liang Chaoying had not yet realized how important his words were to Yu Sheng, and said suspiciously, "Mr. Yin, politics is different from the underworld."
"The success or failure of a moment cannot determine anything. Besides, no matter how many people you have, you can never outnumber Zhong Shengyuan."
Yin Zhaotang replied: "Not necessarily."
Liang Chaoying's eyes changed slightly, and he understood that the many people he mentioned did not refer to many brothers in the underworld, but to many citizens who supported "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong".
An opinion leader must be able to make good use of public opinion.
In politics, public opinion is like a bank deposit slip. The amount of the check you can write depends on how many people support you.
You're waving checks, but are you still worried that no one will help you do the work?
After Yin Zhaotang had eaten and drunk his fill, he opened the door of his apartment and asked Niu Qiang to hand him a phone. Liang Chaoying and the other two watched him return to the living room, dial a number, and call someone.
"Atang, I have something urgent to do and can't leave work so early, so I can't go to the sauna." Liang Manping was in the middle of a meeting when he received a call. He apologized and left, hiding in the corner of the stairs.
Yin Zhaotang said, "Brother Ping, we are your own people, so we won't hide anything. Last night, a batch of parts from an electronics factory was seized by the customs. After asking around, I learned that it was the dogs raised by the foreigners that were biting people."
"This bite hurts me a lot, can you help me get my goods back?"
“The electronics factory is my life!”
