"Since you're willing to come to the headquarters to help me, let me ask you, what is the biggest problem facing Hung Hing right now?"
The Dragon Ancestor asked directly.
...
"With people's hearts unsettled, the place is falling apart!" Han Bin replied without hesitation.
"Then how should we solve this?" the Dragon Ancestor asked with a smile.
Han Bin glanced at the Dragon Ancestor and immediately said:
"Boss, you should have had your own ideas already, so why ask me?"
The Dragon Ancestor laughed and said, "Alright then, I'll tell you, and you listen. After you've listened, give me some feedback."
Han Bin nodded, then got up to get some water to drink.
"First, I plan to centralize the power to appoint Red Sticks in each branch under the central government!"
Han Bin's head throbbed at the first of Long Zu's words.
According to the rules, someone who has never been a Red Pole (a high-ranking official in the military) cannot be the head of a branch!
Who in this world doesn't want to be the boss of their gang?
If a henchman wants to rise to the top, he must be absolutely loyal to the leaders of each gang.
Because their future is in the hands of these leaders.
If the power to appoint Red Sticks is returned to the headquarters, then the future fate of those henchmen will be in the hands of the leader.
Everyone knows who to be loyal to and whose advice to follow from now on.
"Boss, this is a good move, but also a risky one!"
Han Bin said frankly.
"I think the backlash will be quite fierce, because this would be a fatal blow to the leaders of each gang."
"The most important power they hold is the power to appoint 'red poles'!"
The Dragon Ancestor took a puff of his Cuban cigar and slowly said:
"Before announcing this decision, I will first complete another reform, which is to ensure the smooth transition of leadership among all the key figures. This reform must be enforced!" (This last sentence is a sarcastic comment and doesn't need a direct translation.)
Chapter 121 Hiss! This time, Hung Hing is really about to change the world!
Upon hearing what the Dragon Ancestor said, Han Bin shook his head and frankly replied:
"Boss, getting them to step down is harder than taking back the power to appoint 'red pole' members."
"Look at that pretty mom in Sham Shui Po, she has no ability whatsoever, yet she hogs the spot without doing anything."
"Why? Because there are benefits and money to be made. If you cut off their source of income, they will definitely..."
“This is not difficult!” Dragon Ancestor raised his hand to interrupt.
"I will enforce a 50-year-old retirement system in Hung Hing!"
"What? Forced retirement?" Han Bin's face showed utter shock!
If retirement is mandated at age 50, then the leaders of the five triads in Sai Wan, North Point, Chai Wan, Sham Shui Po, and Tsz Wan Shan will all have to retire.
Once this system is implemented, those people will definitely object, but their subordinates might not.
These red sticks all want to get ahead, but now they don't have to fight or wait for it themselves; the leader will take care of it for them.
Those five gangs each had ten red sticks.
On the surface, they were reluctant to say anything out of loyalty, but deep down they were definitely filled with boundless anticipation.
This is the human heart!
They would certainly be willing if the Dragon Ancestor promoted them to positions of power and then took back the authority to appoint Red Sticks.
After figuring all this out, Han Bin was completely convinced!
This leader's thinking is completely different from everyone else's!
"Boss, if we make this change, the power of the headquarters will reach its peak!"
"The leader's authority will be extremely high, and the cohesion of the organization will be greatly strengthened!"
Han Bin stood up excitedly, paced back and forth, and said excitedly.
The Dragon Ancestor nodded slightly and said with a smile:
"If you think this is a good idea, then let's push it forward!"
hiss!
Han Bin was taken aback!
This time, Hung Hing is really about to change the world!
After taking office, the Dragon Ancestor acted swiftly and decisively!
Han Bin was promoted to head of the department by him, despite not meeting the usual requirements.
Chen Yao's resignation from this position sparked a strong backlash from Liang Ma and her group, who argued that it violated the rules of the organization.
According to Hung Hing rules, only white paper fans can be used for counting.
Chen Yao understood that Long Zu was forcing him to retire and give up his position as the White Paper Fan to Han Bin, which would be in accordance with the rules.
But how could Chen Yao be willing to accept this?
So they rallied the older leaders and elders to put pressure on the Dragon Ancestor.
But at that very moment, the Dragon Ancestor directly introduced a mandatory retirement age of fifty!
The five leaders were completely dumbfounded, and none of them were willing to give up their power and benefits.
They became even more vehement, arguing that the Dragon Ancestor was trying to sabotage Hung Hing.
They even spread rumors in the underworld that they would re-elect the leader of Hung Hing.
But they soon discovered a big problem: the "red sticks" who used to obey them were starting to waver.
Only then did they realize how vicious the Dragon Ancestor's actions were; it was practically cutting off their lifeline.
They wanted to cause trouble, but the "red sticks" (a derogatory term for political figures) refused to do so.
Besides the leader, the most important person in a gang is, of course, the "red stick" (a high-ranking official in the gang).
The "straw sandals for doing business," "straw sandals," and "49-zai" are all led by the "red sticks."
Even the most powerful figures can't make a difference if the government doesn't support them.
Forced into a corner, Chen Yao and his five gang leaders had no choice but to seek out Uncle Fu, a highly respected elder of the gang.
We beg Uncle Fu to step in and mediate; he has to be given a way out!
Fubo made a special trip to the Grand Dynasty Building.
The Dragon Ancestor told him that he would convene a meeting with the leaders and elders in seven days.
After seeing Fu Guo off, Long Zu received a phone call from Li Yongxiao.
“Mr. Lung, congratulations! You now have complete control of Hung Hing!” Ni Yongxiao’s voice came over.
"We've got it under control, but reforming Hung Hing is still a long and arduous task. I'll treat you to dinner sometime; I have to go now!"
After Long Zu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Because Tianyang Sheng Awu, Taishan, Big-headed Bee, and Golden-toothed Chicken have arrived.
After everyone arrived, the Dragon Ancestor tossed each of them a cigar and then said:
Hung Hing is now under my control, but the situation is rather chaotic, and some things need to be done according to the rules.
"Taishan, your job is to tally up how many underground gambling dens and nightclubs there are in the entire Hung Hing district, and then give me the data."
The Dragon Ancestor looked at Mount Tai and said.
"Yes, boss!" Taishan nodded excitedly.
There's one more thing I need to tell you beforehand.
"From now on, all protection fees collected by Hung Hing's various branches must be standardized into security fees, with security contracts and registration with the Industry and Commerce Bureau. In other words, everything must be formalized..."
"Boss, are you really going to lead Hung Hing down a more formal path?"
The Dragon Ancestor took a puff of his cigar and said:
"Clubs will eventually become a thing of the past. It's better to take the initiative than to be forced into formalization later."
"A short mule is never going to be respectable. Do you want to be short mules for the rest of your lives?"
The Dragon Ancestor looked at everyone and asked.
"Of course not!" A-Wu was the first to speak.
"Why should we be short mules when we have a choice?" Taishan said with a smile.
"Hehe, I'll listen to you, boss!"
Tian Yangsheng scratched his head and said in a somewhat simple and honest manner.
