Chapter 394 5 Holy Mountains
Chapter 394 Five Sacred Mountains
A month later, at the end of the year, Wo Shing Wo was happily elected as the chairman and held an ordination ceremony at the Five Saints Temple in Lau Fau Shan, Tin Shui Wai, New Territories.
This place is the gate of the Five Sacred Mountains of Sheng Wo Hall. Administratively, it belongs to the Yuen Long District and is adjacent to the bay with beautiful scenery.
The ceremony was grand and started at 6am with drums and gongs, burning incense and offering sacrifices, dragon and lion dances, drums and gongs, banquets and divine operas.
Many underworld bosses gathered, including New Territories gentry, chamber of commerce bosses, and representatives from the mainland.
Yin Zhaotang, Fat Cat, Jiang Hao, Zuoshou and others arrived by car on behalf of Lao Zhong. Seeing Kai Xin's great success, Dan Tart shouted, "Boss, when you take the throne, you must do it in a more spectacular way!"
The fat cat smiled but said nothing. Young people are always competitive and like to compete in everything.
Yin Zhaotang was dressed in a suit and leather shoes, polished to a shine, and stepped on the firecracker debris on the ground. He shook his head and laughed, "It costs money to be glamorous, silly boy."
The sphere of influence of Wo Shing Wo overlaps with that of Lao Zhong in some places. For example, Wo Shing Wo has a history of more than 70 years in the New Territories.
During the June 7 Incident and the fall of Hong Kong Island, the "Wo Shing Wo Hometown Association" was the main force in defending the New Territories and resisting foreign invaders together with the villagers.
This is the same as the Zhongyitang back then, otherwise You Bo would not have had any history with Fat Cat, and the Liao family of Sheung Shui would not owe Lao Zhong a favor.
Among the authentic local gangs, Shenghe should be the largest, Hetu is the second largest, and Lao Zhong is now the third largest.
Xinji, the Number Gang is a "new gang" funded by Taiwan after the war. According to the terminology of Taiwan, they are all "external gangs", but a wave of immigration broke out in Hong Kong Island.
When everyone became an immigrant, decades later, no one mentioned the identity of Xinji and the Number Gang as a gang anymore.
The heads of the five major surnames in the New Territories were all present, including Deng Wen, the boss of the Kam Tin Deng family, Deng Yu, the Ping Shan Deng family, Wen Lin, the San Tin Wen family, Liao Runchen, the Sheung Shui Liao family, Hou Wenyong, the Sheung Shui Hou family, Pang Tingjun, the Fanling Pang family, as well as the heads of the "top ten surnames" including Lin, Wu, Zhang, Wen and Wen.
Among them, the Deng family almost controls more than half of the votes in every term of the Heung Yee Kuk. It doesn’t matter whether the chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk is named Deng or not. What matters is what policies the British Hong Kong authorities have.
Without the approval of the Deng family, it will be almost impossible to implement it, even if there is support from other families of the five major surnames.
Because the Deng surname has the largest population in the New Territories, with more than 300,000 people, forming more than 20 villages and with numerous genealogies, it is the only one of the five major surnames named "New Territories Deng".
It is further subdivided into Kam Tin Deng, Ping Shan Deng, Tai Po Deng, etc. Unlike Liao, Wen, Hou and Peng, which have at most a dozen villages and are only located in one town.
Not to mention the remaining minor surnames. In addition to the five recognized surnames, there are ten major surnames, which can be ranked in several ways to make fifteen.
Lao Zhong has a good relationship with the Liao family in Sheung Shui, while Shing Wo has a good relationship with the entire New Territories. It was the first company in Hong Kong to get involved in the new town plan and develop real estate in the New Territories.
Now and in the future, they will make a lot of money, together with the five major families in the New Territories. The rest of the entertainment industry, pornography, gambling and drugs are just extras.
Yin Zhaotang also wandered among the gentry and big families, chatting and laughing. Since the New Territories have always supported the mainland, Liang Manping had a lot of face and took him to meet several big family heads.
Although Lao Zhong has a weak foundation in the New Territories, that is only compared with Shing Wo. Just talking about its influence in the Sheung Shui area, it is already impressive.
The factory invested in Sheungshui has driven the development of the entire village and town, playing a good demonstration effect.
The other four major families all have a good impression of Lao Zhong. They hold an entry ticket to the development of the New Territories. However, except for building factories in the New Territories, now is not a good time to invest in development.
Because the most valuable thing in the New Territories is the "Dingquan". The "rural homestead" policy that restricts gender is understandable, allowing each male to build a 27-foot-high independent house with an area of no more than 700 square feet per floor. 27 feet is 8.22 meters high, and can be built on three floors. With the approval of the Heung Yee Kuk, Dingquan can be traded to people outside the New Territories. The tradable land will definitely attract a large influx of capital.
But the people of the New Territories are not stupid. Firstly, the Heung Yee Kuk controls the first line of approval for dingquan. Secondly, they have long acquired dingquan in the Sai Kung district and outlying islands, which have better scenery, and built holiday homes.
Rented to guests who come to the suburbs and seaside for weekend trips.
The only rights that can be obtained by entering the New Territories development market are all waste land in the wilderness, which is expensive and worthless.
This kind of asset-heavy land development project is enough to drag down a large group with a market value of billions. It is more promising to be a factory owner instead of worrying about it.
Tan Huanxi was wearing a black jacket, sitting on the hood of a Toyota, with his hands folded across his chest. He opened a cigarette box, rubbed it into his palms with a gloomy look, and threw it away: "Go borrow a pack of cigarettes from the banquet."
The waiter Jiaming took out the lucky draw from his pocket and handed it over politely: "Tan Sir, take mine."
Tan Huanxi kicked him in the butt and cursed, "You little bastard, you're the only one with money, but you don't want to smoke the free ones, so you want to smoke your own ones, right?"
Ah Zheng who was standing nearby laughed out loud: "Jia Ming, go get two more packs of cigarettes for Mr. Tan. Mr. Tan is fighting crime, you don't understand."
Zhang Jiaming couldn't understand: "What does smoking have to do with fighting crime?"
Ah Zheng said, "Smoke all the gangsters' cigarettes. When they get addicted to cigarettes and have no cigarettes to smoke, they won't have the energy to fight or cause trouble."
Tan Huanxi urged the waiter to hurry up, muttering, "I really miss going out on field trips with Li Sir, opening a pack to smoke first, and taking one home."
Jimmy Lai has been promoted to Chief Inspector of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. Unless he is commanding an important operation, he has no reason to go out on field duty.
Ah Zheng and Huanxi have been promoted to inspectors. When they saw Zhang Jiaming running back with a cigarette under his arm and a big smile on his face, Ah Zheng said, "Huanxi, you have corrupted another rising star in the police force."
Tan Huanxi shook his head and said, "What kind of rising star is he if he can be corrupted?"
Ah Zheng changed the subject: "I just took a picture of Shen Xian Tang shaking hands and hugging Kai Xin. It is said that Ji Jiao Hei has been discharged from the hospital. It seems that Sheng He and Lao Zhong can no longer fight."
Tan Huanxi lit up a cigarette and said, "People on the street said that the Infectious Disease Association was a 'Jockey Club'. I would say it is the 'Royal Jockey Club'. Shen Xiantang is the president of the Jockey Club, the ordinary members are the horse owners, and the ten directors are the board members. It is no different from a real Jockey Club."
“However, one is the Financial Secretary who is pumping water, and the other is the Department of Health who is pumping water.”
Ah Zheng nodded: "Now, except for the horse owners with horse brands, all other stables have almost closed down. The situation is hopeless, and Jijiaohei can only bow its head."
Tan Huanxi's expression was cunning: "It's good to have standardized operations. We don't have to worry about rotten birds anymore."
Ah Zheng whispered, "What case is Li Sir working on recently? He has been attending meetings with Ren Sir at the headquarters all day. Is there any news?"
Tan Huanxi said with a playful smile: "Let's go, let's go eat."
Today, Yin Zhaotang was just a guest. After the dishes were served, he took a few bites, toasted with Kai Xin, and then left in a hurry.
Liang Manping also left at the same time. The two of them took a car together, went directly through the Luohu Port, and came to the Shenzhen City Guesthouse, where they successfully met Zhou Jianhua, the business representative of Shanghai Radio Factory No. 14.
