Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 11 Temporary Membership
Big Year.

Today is the twelfth day that Fang Hexuan has been imprisoned in Stanley.

That was also the day he temporarily joined the Sun Yee On.

Other Ah Yang who came to Stanley on the same day as him,

Most of them became gang members on the second or third day after being imprisoned.

Fang Hexuan is an exception.

For some communities, he is also a nuisance that cannot be avoided.

Fang Hexuan psychologically and physically hates parasitic organizations like the underworld.

The situation is even worse among community groups in Hong Kong Island.

But if you don’t join a club, you will be bullied by the club.

Although it is a temporary membership,
But Fang Hexuan didn't believe that after he was released from prison,
The Sun Yee On would not let him off so easily.

Hong Kong's social organizations are often like dog-skin plasters.
You can't get rid of it just because you want to.

Temporary members are a bit like the blue lanterns hung by Hong Kong societies.
They are called members, but they have not gone through a formal initiation ceremony, nor are they recorded in the society's roster.

He says he is not a member, but he has close ties with the society.

If one day Sun Yee On needs Fang Hexuan,
I don't care if he's temporary or not.

Joining a society has both advantages and disadvantages for him.

But in the current situation,
Finding a temporary backer still has more advantages than disadvantages.

He has already formed an irreconcilable feud with Stanley's largest underworld group, 14K.

If he continues to be a pure and innocent sheep, anyone can step on him.

But he doesn't have high expectations for 14K.

I have lamented before,
The people in today's social organizations are no longer as loyal as they used to be, and the morals of the society are deteriorating.

Why do you say that?
In fact, it is closely related to the social development process of Hong Kong.

The mainlanders who came to Hong Kong to make a living in the early years,

Basically, I gave up my original social network.

Rebuilding new interpersonal connections in this strange city,

Once a relationship is established, both parties will attach great importance to maintaining and continuing this relationship.

In addition, the means of making a living for the new immigrants at that time were very limited.

The biggest source of work is working as a laborer at the docks.

In the environment at that time, everyone was eager to do this kind of hard work.

Therefore, coolies are also the easiest to be exploited.

Establish an organization, join an organization, maintain an organization, and strengthen an organization.
The work and dignity of the coolies can be guaranteed.

But after 20 or 30 years, the level of social organization has become very perfect.
The web of relationships between them is intricate and complex.

There are also many job opportunities.
Hong Kong people do not need to rely entirely on any one organization to survive.

Therefore, the former members of the community believed in loyalty and righteousness.
Today's bad guys are only concerned about profit.

In a word,

Don't talk to me about poetry and distant places, I want bread and milk.

Hong Kong news often reports gang fights in certain places.
After a closer look, it turned out that they were from the same society.

Some of them are even subordinates of the same boss.

Fang Hexuan is using the tiger skin of Sun Yee On and Old Chao.
I don't expect them to help me block the open and covert attacks from 14K.

The initiation ceremony was held at noon in the dining hall.

The canteen in Stanley is also divided into sections, so not all prisoners are crowded together.
So there won't be too many people watching.

This made Fang Hexuan feel a little regretful, as he needed traffic right now.

At breakfast time, Da Yanming had already introduced the rules and procedures to him.
It's very different from the movie.

All the big guys above the level of Sun Yee On have arrived, and there are also some 49ers standing by to maintain order.
Since it is a temporary membership, it is not convenient to invite prominent figures from other Laochao societies to come and witness.

In addition to the incumbent Sun Yee On middle and senior management, such as the old New Top Master Jin Yachao, the deacon Changtui Rong, the third warehouse chief Gui Lijian, the third warehouse office Xi Yantai, and the sixth warehouse office Yan Shicong,
There were also more than a dozen prominent figures who had resigned from their positions or taken up prominent positions who appeared at the scene.

After the ceremony began, Long-legged Rong, who presided over the ceremony, first asked Fang Hexuan, who was standing in the center of the crowd:
"Do you have a crown badge (have you ever worked in the prison department)?" "No!" Fang Hexuan replied.

"Do you have a sailing license (have you ever worked in the police department)?" asked Long-legged Rong.

"No!" Fang Hexuan replied.

"Where are you from (which gang did you join before going to prison)?" asked Long-legged Rong.

"No sect or school!" Fang Hexuan replied.

"Are there any old friends of yours, sir?" asked Long-legged Rong.

"No!" Fang Hexuan replied.

"[Hard] or [fluid]? (Real or fake)?" asked Long-legged Rong.

"[Strong]!" Fang Hexuan replied.

This set of question-and-answer procedures is unique to prisons.

The purpose is to prevent dangerous elements from infiltrating the society.

As for whether it would work or not, Fang Hexuan didn't know.

Then came the most hilarious scene.
I saw Yan Shicong bring a plate to the table.

On the plate was a yellow orange and a table knife (which had to be returned to the canteen immediately after use).

Hong Kong's societies follow the tradition of the Hongmen in mainland China.
Whenever a new member joins the club, they must invite the "Hongmen Swordsman" to "slay the phoenix".

The table knife symbolizes the "Hongmen Knife", and "cutting the chicken head" means "cutting the phoenix".
The blood oath was made with the blood of the cock,

But the conditions in the prison were limited, so oranges were used as substitutes for roosters.
This has also been ridiculed by some as a fake ceremony and fake initiation.

I saw that Guilijian held the knife in both hands.

First, he showed it to everyone, then waved his knife.

Sing loudly:

"This sword is an extraordinary sword, it was made in the furnace of Laojun in the past."

"Only after seven cycles of Holy Fire refining can three swords be forged."

"The first palm is in the hands of Guan Gong, named Qinglong Yanyuedao."

"The second sword fell into the hands of the King of Jin, and was named the Kaiguo Dingtang Sword."

"The three swords fell into Hong Ying's hands, and were named after the traitor-killing sword."

"With benevolence and righteousness, we form a golden orchid. Without benevolence and righteousness, we have three swords and six eyes!"

At this point, the Hongmen knife has been brought to justice, and the next step is to chop off the chicken head with justification.

It was still Gui Lijian who came to execute. He stood in front of Huang Cheng and shouted:
"The phoenix is ​​born with four heads, and all the people from all corners of the world come to it. With kindness and justice, we share the good and bad times, and take off our woolen coats for purple ones."

The thin-eyed Tai next to him held the yellow orange in his hands and chanted with everyone else:
"The rooster's head is bleeding, loyalty and justice remain, and the Hongmen disciples will live long!"

As soon as the voice fell, Guilijian raised his knife and cut the yellow orange in half.
Then, cut the orange into pieces and drip a few drops on each cup of tea.

It is a symbol of blood wine.

Tai, who had the narrow eyes, was not idle either. He made the hand signal of 4, 3, 2 with his right hand, and then shouted:
"Ma Ning'er, you have committed a heinous crime. Today, I will punish you and ask you how you will deal with the rebels. I will use gold and silver paper as your coffin!"

After a short pause, he sang eight more lines:

"When the golden knife is pressed, a red light appears, and a glow appears above the phoenix's head."

"One goes and one comes, four seasons of blessings, left in and right out, great fortune."

"3821 lines rise, all corners of the country are one."

"The sworn brotherhood in Xiangtang is truly united, throwing out the Phoenix Chicken with both hands."

Fang Hexuan looked solemn, but he was complaining in his heart:

"Why isn't there the Hongmen Thirty-Six Oaths? What the hell is this?"

While he was still complaining, Da Yanming walked up to him and reminded him:
"After the 'Chicken Head Beheading', you will drink 'Red Flower Wine'. After that, I will take you to meet the big guys."

Fang Hexuan nodded.

After all, tea is not wine.
Everyone just drank a few sips symbolically.

Expressed his agreement to the newcomer Fang Hexuan joining the group.
