Chapter 540: Selecting Newcomers

Chen Huimin took out a document and handed it over with a smile: "Mr. Yin, these are the membership applications for all the members of the Number Gang, a total of 163 copies."

Yin Zhaotang didn't touch it, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Chen, you're too polite. The Hong Kong Island branch has decided to set up a sub-branch within the Number Gang. Mr. Ge will be the president, and Tai Po Niu will be the vice president."

"From now on, the branch will decide on the number of members who will apply for membership."

Chen Huimin, Big Brother You and the others all showed joy in their eyes and looked excited.

"Thank you, Mr. Yin."

"We have always followed the call of the Zhi Gong Hui and served the Zhi Gong Hui."

I thought of posting the flag of the Zhi Gong Hui and hanging a sign that read "Dedicated to the public, overseas Chinese serving the country" in the Bangtuo area.

Everyone present felt that Chen Qinghua and Ye Suping did not die in vain.

Shenxiantang was so generous that he not only gave them identities, but also gave the entire Number Gang an identity. Although the Number Gang Branch, as a subordinate agency of the Hong Kong Island branch, must abide by the arrangements of the superior agency, it is on an equal footing with the Hong Kong Police Branch.

"Mr. Ge, how is your recovery?" After the meeting, Yin Zhaotang did not rush to leave.

Ge Zhixiong wore a suit and held a cane, smiling: "There are many mistakes. If the doctor had not asked me to stay in the hospital for observation, I would have played football on the court long ago."

Yin Zhaotang smiled and said, "Playing soccer is fine, but are you interested in playing rooftop golf?"

"OK."

"Just treat it as a rehabilitation exercise." Ge Zhixiong moved his shoulders, showing great interest.

Bringing a personal doctor, he went to the rooftop of the building with Yin Sheng.

Unlike most indoor golf courses, which only have a strip of plastic grass in the room, the rooftop area of more than 3,000 square feet is all covered with natural grass and several artificial slopes.

After watching it, Ge Zhixiong gave a thumbs up and praised: "Yin Sheng really knows how to play. Such a large venue must cost a lot of money just to maintain it."

"I never cared."

Yin Zhaotang turned on the controller on the wall, and the lights illuminated the rooftop. A net was erected on the wall to prevent balls from falling and injuring passers-by. Although the rooftop court had no access control, it was equipped with closed-circuit surveillance cameras, and only workers were allowed to go up there. If the club members wanted to come and play, they had to report to the big boss first.

As Ge Zhixiong was amazed, the two finished their fight and returned to the rest area to sit and chat. Yin Zhaotang crossed his legs and laughed, "After you are discharged from the hospital, do you want to continue to manage the family business, or do you want to do something else?"

Ge Zhixiong was drinking mineral water. He had expected that Yin Zhaotang was busy, so he smiled and said, "Do you have any advice, Mr. Yin?"

Managing the family business is actually doing business. The community affairs are already presided over by Chen Huimin and Tai Po Niu.

In short, his prince Ge was sidelined once again. However, the leisurely life of being sidelined was familiar, and it turned out to be a comfort zone? It was more comfortable than the days when he was always thinking about reducing the power of the vassal states and was afraid that someone would shoot him from behind one day.

During this hospitalization, he realized that it was not so easy to handle the hundreds of thousands of brothers under the banner of the Number Gang. Rather than ending his life hastily and dying in the struggle of the underworld, just for a false name.

It is better to quit the world, be down-to-earth and stable, run your private business well, and leave a fortune to the family.

Yin Zhaotang bit his cigar, looking cool and generous, and said, "Yes! Ge Sheng is now an alternate member of the Zhi Gong Hui. To be precise, he has a political identity."

"It's hard to make it in the underworld, why not go straight to politics and run for district councillor tomorrow?"

Ge Zhixiong's heart trembled suddenly, his eyes were shocked, and he smiled bitterly, but his tone revealed desire: "Mr. Yin, it's not easy to get into the underworld, and it's even harder to get into politics."

“It’s not difficult to run for district councillor, but it’s very difficult to get an official position.”

Some of the number gang members who have done well have become district councillors. But being elected as a district councillor can only make it easier to acquire land and projects, which are still business matters and are different from being in the political arena.

Only by being elected as a district councillor, and then gradually getting a position in the municipal government, and being among the three departments and twelve bureaus, and holding a position, can one be called a political figure. But the hundreds of thousands of people who rely on numbers want to push people into politics? Hong Kong Island is not Taiwan Province. Whether it is the British Hong Kong or the mainland, the triads will not become a big force.

Unless, it’s not relying on the Triads.

Yin Zhaotang took a breath slowly, smoked a cigar, and said slowly: "I support you, there should be no problem. First elect a district councillor, then elect the speaker, and start from the municipal council."

"It's just right. You don't need to care about the affairs of the underworld anymore. In two years, you can resign from the position of leader, come to the homecoming dinner clean and elegantly dressed."

A wisp of tobacco burned in the fire, and a wisp of ambition rekindled in his heart.

Ge Zhixiong's pupils reflected the flame of the cigar. He didn't expect that his fate would be so bizarre. Wasn't it that he was trying hard to fight for the power of the Number Gang in the hope of getting clean and having a chance to become an official?

Give up power and get ashore.

You know, the Ge family was also a military family in the previous dynasty. After the collapse of their party, they fell into the underworld.

Moreover, the previous generation has a lot of blood debts, so there is no way to vote even if you want to.

"What can I do for Yin Sheng?" Ge Zhixiong asked.

Yin Zhaotang laughed out loud and took off his cigar: "I won't hide it from you. If you can get a job, I will recommend you to join the return preparation committee."

"If you are elected as a member of the Zhi Gong Hui, you will have D-classification and an official position, so it should not be difficult for you to join the Hui. As long as you support me at the meeting, I will support you in Hong Kong Island."

Ge Zhixiong nodded decisively: "No problem!"

Even his political life was promised by Yin Zhaotang, so the policy direction must follow his footsteps.

"One more shot?"

Yin Zhaotang stood up and grabbed the club.

Ge Zhixiong smiled and said, "I'll keep you company."

Although Ge Zhixiong was not on the list of the Return Committee in history, that was because the Number Gang had not been incorporated. Now that the Number Gang has been successfully incorporated, they should be given some political treatment.

However, without the background, it is difficult to join the preparatory committee.

Yin Zhaotang was just making a casual move, hoping that Ge Zhixiong could perform well in the next ten years, and then give him a push so that he could get an extra vote when the committee expanded its list for the last time, thereby promoting education reform.

It would be best if you succeed, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t.

But in his eyes, idle hands were the opportunity that Ge Zhixiong had always dreamed of. He was full of energy and after being discharged from the hospital, he changed his previous image, started to participate in charity activities, and began to make guest appearances in movies, hoping to become familiar to the citizens.

"Priest?"

In the evening, Yin Zhaotang was having dinner with Zhou Huimin at home when he suddenly received a call from Edward. Zhou Huimin looked curious, leaned over and eavesdropped quietly.

Pastor Edward kissed the cross on his chest and said with a smile: "Mr. Yin, you are really good. My promotion to bishop has been decided."

"God will bless you. I will also never forget the help from my friends. When you have time, come to All Saints Church. It will be my cathedral in the future."

Yin Zhaotang didn't understand what was going on, but he was polite: "Reverend, your future cathedral should probably be in London, right?"

"Hahaha, you're right, dear Yin!"
