Chapter 154: Establishing an Intelligence Hall
Bucky was stunned when he heard this. After a slight hesitation, he took the long knife handed to him by Cheng Yaodong and killed Jiang Tiansheng with the first knife.
Next, Bucky cut Jiang Tiansheng, Chen Yao and thirty-six Japanese killers off the line like cutting leeks.
Bucky, covered in blood, walked towards Cheng Yaodong with a shaky body, threw the knife on the ground, and had an unknown smile on his face.
"Brother Dong, all these beasts were killed."
Cheng Yaodong glanced at Bucky, then smiled and nodded.
"Brother Ji is still a veteran in this world! There is nothing wrong with what he does. He is worthy of being the pillar of Hongxing!"
After hearing this, Bucky swallowed unconsciously, wiped the blood off his face, and said.
"Brother Dong, I'm old. After so many years in Hongxing, the fighting and killing are really tiring. How about this? Brother Dong, I will give up the territory of Hong Kong Islanders. Brother Dong, whoever you choose is more suitable to be the boss over there, let him come.
Hung Hing is becoming increasingly powerful, and it's time for an old guy like me to step down and let others take over. The world is dominated by young people now, and there are many things that an old guy like me no longer understands. It's time to go home, spend time with my family, and rest up.
Hearing this, Cheng Yaodong smiled and waved his hand and said.
"Brother Ji is not old at all. Hung Hing is indeed becoming more and more powerful, but the replacement cannot be so fast. Otherwise, there will be problems. Hung Hing still depends on Brother Ji, so, over there, Hong Islanders, you should continue to be the boss."
Bucky was stunned after hearing this, then a smile appeared on his face and he quickly spoke.
"It's rare that Brother Dong likes me, so I will continue to work in Hongdaozai and help Hongxing and Brother Dong."
"Well, go wash up."
"Okay! Brother Dong, then you guys chat. If anything requires a vote, I'll listen to you unconditionally."
Bucky said, then turned and left.
Cheng Yaodong asked people to clean up the venue and sat back in the seat.
"Everyone, starting with Jiang Tiansheng, Hung Hing has produced several traitors. Today, Hung Hing has a lot of new blood, and I hope that similar situations won't happen to you again. I also believe that those who have made it this far are already the elite of Hung Hing."
"Next, there are two more territories that need to be redistributed. Everyone, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
After Cheng Yaodong finished speaking, everyone present looked at each other, and no one spoke.
Cheng Yaodong nodded and said, "Since everyone has no objections, then I will recommend two people. For the person in charge of Sai Wan, I recommend Tian Yangsheng. For the person in charge of Chai Wan, I recommend Gao Gang. Do you all have any objections?"
Following Cheng Yaodong's words, most of the voices were in agreement.
Cheng Yaodong arranged for two more people to sit down before continuing.
"Okay, in that case, let me tell you about the follow-up plan. First of all, Hongxing has previously stated that fan-sharing is not allowed, but some people are still doing it privately. However, bygones are bygones. So from today on, I hope that everyone who is still involved in the fan-sharing business will stop it."
"Not only are we not allowed to have fans leave Hongxing, but no one is allowed to leave Hongxing's territory. Moreover, we must actively cooperate with the police and assist them in clearing out Hong Kong Island's fan base as much as possible. If anyone is short of money, feel free to come to me. As I said before, I have many profitable projects and everyone is welcome to invest at any time."
"I guarantee that the returns on these investments will satisfy you. And there won't be any risk. To put it bluntly, we're all out here to make money. I don't want any of you to be the leader of a Hongxing gang and still be short of money."
"On the other hand, let's talk about the plan for the next two weeks. I've already told everyone about Kowloon Tong being completely cleared. Within two weeks, Kowloon Tong will become the entire territory of the Hung Hing gang. Besides Kowloon Tong, there's another place I want to completely clear within two weeks: Kwai Tsing."
Han Bin was stunned when Cheng Yaodong said this.
Cheng Yaodong smiled and continued.
"Han Bin, Kwai Tsing is your territory. I've checked, and there's currently no Number Gang territory in Kwai Tsing. So it won't be difficult to clear it all out. Sham Shui Po, Yau Ma Tei, and Mong Kok are all adjacent to Kwai Tsing. If you need anything, you can talk to the people in charge of these three places."
"I want you to take over the entire Kwai Tsing within two weeks, at the lowest cost, and make Kwai Tsing a pure Hung Hing territory. Isn't that a big deal?"
"No problem, don't worry, I will take care of this matter!"
Han Bin stood up and said excitedly.
Cheng Yaodong nodded, then waved to Han Bin to sit down.
Han Bin's Kwai Tsing can be said to be one of the most important gangs among the thirteen gangs of Hung Hing.
In future battles with the Yamada Group, guns and ammunition will naturally be indispensable, and Han Bin's Kwai Tsing will become the most important arsenal of the Hongxing.
Cheng Yaodong looked at everyone again and said.
"Although I won't interfere with the management of each hall, I need to have a specific plan for the personnel structure of each hall. First of all, there is the issue of number of people. Each hall has a uniform number of people, such as Yau Ma Tei, a hall master, a red stick, a white paper fan, and a pair of straw sandals. These are mandatory equipment."
"Red sticks, white paper fans, and straw sandals must each have their own clear division of labor. Secondly, each hall must ensure that there are only one hundred Lao Sijiu. Each Lao Sijiu manages thirty Blue Lanterns. Improve the treatment of Blue Lanterns and control their number."
"That is to say, all the same-type halls must each have 3,100 members, including four high-ranking officials besides the hall master. As for how the hall master distributes the one hundred "old forty-nine" officials, I don't care, but I must ensure that each high-ranking official has the management authority of at least ten "old forty-nine" officials."
"This isn't about dividing the power of the various hall masters. Quite the opposite. I hope to enable each hall master to better manage their brothers. I don't want to see you not even knowing the names of the brothers you spend every day with."
"As for the Tongs that haven't yet established a unified presence, the Lao Sijiu still has 100 members. But each Lao Sijiu only needs to manage 20 Blue Lanterns. In other words, for Tongs that haven't established a unified presence, a staff of 2,100 people is required."
"Our Hung Hing territory is already large enough, so we're not considering opening a fourteenth branch for now. Therefore, what we need to do over the next two months is to rationalize the branches and maintain stability as much as possible. Maintaining a uniform structure across every branch and your territory is our primary goal going forward."
"Remember, except for the Number Gang, everyone else can try to implement the "Clean" plan within the next two months. But remember not to act rashly. If a certain hall master wants to clean up his territory, he needs to thoroughly investigate his opponent. If he thinks it's feasible enough, he can then discuss it with me or Liang Kun."
"The society will give you enough support, but if the Number Gang is in your territory, don't touch it for now. It's not that we are afraid of the Number Gang, but the Number Gang is deeply entrenched. If we want to fight the Number Gang, we must be prepared for an all-out battle. The current Hongxing has undergone a lot of updates and iterations, so it is not suitable for such an all-out war."
"By the way, speaking of intelligence, I need to introduce someone to you."
As he spoke, Cheng Yaodong clapped his hands.
Soon, a man in a white suit walked in and stood next to Cheng Yaodong.
"His name is Meng Bo, and he was once a famous city hunter in Hong Kong. I believe many of you know him or have heard of him. However, he has been with me for a long time and is considered a member of the Hongxing faction. Meng Bo has very strong personal abilities, especially in terms of intelligence."
"Through all the recent events, I think you should all be very clear about the importance of information to all of us. If it weren't for Meng Bo and the thirty-six Japanese assassins, I probably wouldn't have a good way to deal with them. Therefore, I have decided that Hongxing will establish a special branch, the Intelligence Branch!"
"The Intelligence Hall, as the name suggests, is responsible for the construction and management of the entire Hongxing intelligence network. The head is Meng Bo. The deputy head is Hui Xiang. The Intelligence Hall is not part of the Hongxing Thirteen Halls. It's called a hall, but the configuration is different. What I want to tell you is that the establishment of the Intelligence Hall will not only ensure the future development of Hongxing, but most importantly..."
"We can save our own lives. The reason why we, Hongxing, were able to completely win the secret battle with the Yamada Group this time was because of Meng Bo's absolute contribution. You are all in this business, and everyone has enemies. Sometimes, even if you hire too many bodyguards, you will inevitably be ambushed by the enemy."
"I hope that all of our Hongxing Hall Masters can ensure your personal safety. Therefore, I also hope that all of you Hall Masters can do your utmost to cooperate with Meng Bo's work and quickly establish an intelligence network within Hongxing's territory. As for the issues regarding the construction of the entire intelligence network, I will let Meng Bo explain it to you."
After saying that, everyone looked at Meng Bo.
Meng Bo was not nervous either. He looked around and said with a smile.
"Hello, everyone. My name is Meng Bo. Brother Dong has introduced me to everyone I need. Now I will explain in detail where I need your cooperation and how to establish the intelligence network."
"First of all, Hongxing currently has 500 intelligence personnel. After a period of training, they have all developed strong investigative capabilities. So our intelligence department is not starting from scratch, please rest assured."
"Then I need everyone's cooperation to establish a fixed intelligence network. That means providing me with ten "Old Forty-Nines" from each branch to join the Intelligence Hall. The basic requirement for these ten "Old Forty-Nines" is that they are absolutely familiar with the area they are in. Of course, it would be best if they have a talent for investigation."
"Then, I will assign corresponding team leaders to these ten Lao Sijiu. One team leader for each area, and ten Lao Sijiu, that is, ten team members. Each of these ten team members will recruit ten liaison officers. Each of these ten liaison officers will control ten intelligence bases."
"That is to say, in each region, the initial intelligence network will have at least a thousand intelligence bases. Of course, these intelligence bases will appear in everyday activities. For example, newsstand vendors, taxi drivers, supermarket cashiers, and even Fengjie."
"That is to say, if your territory covers twenty streets, then on average, there are at least fifty of our intelligence bases on each street. Of course, there's no need to worry about the loyalty of the people in these bases. First of all, these people don't belong to the Hongxing gang; they're like police informants."
"Furthermore, the communication between each intelligence base is one-way. They don't know each other, and their only contact is the liaison officer. There's no need to worry about someone at a particular intelligence base being bribed and missing out on intelligence, thus blinding the Intelligence Hall."
"Because of such a dense network of intelligence bases, the same intelligence is likely to be discovered by three to five intelligence bases at the same time. This way we can ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the intelligence. Although it sounds a bit wasteful, taking on these additional intelligence bases is just a one-time payment, and we don't need to maintain them."
"This is just the initial stage of the infrastructure. For larger areas, or areas that the guild needs to focus on in the near future, the Intelligence Hall will deploy this 500-person intelligence team to focus on intelligence and strategy. Simply put, if I want, I can always know who the chick you slept with the day before slept with within the past week."
"It's just a joke, I hope you don't mind. That's all I have to say about the work of the Intelligence Hall. I hope you can actively cooperate. One more thing to say, the establishment of the Intelligence Hall requires a lot of money. All of this money was paid by Brother Dong alone, so I sincerely hope that the bosses can cooperate seriously."
After saying this, Meng Bo smiled and took a step back, then stopped talking.
Cheng Yaodong smiled and shook his head and said.
"This money will come from everyone's dues, so how can it all be put on my head? Okay, everyone, I think you have no objections to the establishment of the Intelligence Hall?"
"no comment!"
"This Intelligence Hall is amazing."
"I agree!"
As all the voices of agreement rang out, Cheng Yaodong nodded.
"Very good, the Intelligence Hall is settled. The first thing you will do after returning is to quickly select ten qualified Old Four Nines to join the Intelligence Hall. Don't worry, the establishment of the Intelligence Hall is for the better development of the gang and the safety of the bosses, not to monitor you."
"Once the intelligence network is established, it will be much easier for you to clean up your own territory. You can ask Meng Bo for information on other local gangs, and then proceed with your strategy to capture your territory. Therefore, the Intelligence Hall has only advantages and no disadvantages."
"Let's end this meeting here. Do you have any questions?"
Seeing that everyone had no problem, Cheng Yaodong announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Then, Meng Bo stopped Cheng Yaodong.
"Brother Dong, the female teacher from Edinburgh in the West Ring Road is here to see you. She's been sitting in your office for a long time."
