Chapter 292 Opening!
Afterwards, the reporter with an ugly look on his face was stuffed into the back seat of the car, and naturally there was someone to watch over him.
Sha Zhan shook his numb right hand and said disdainfully: "People nowadays think they know a little bit about the law and start to stir up trouble everywhere. If they continue like this, they will kill themselves sooner or later..."
"After returning to the police station, remember to take good care of him. Otherwise, wouldn't it make us, the Royal Hong Kong Island Police, appear incompetent?"
The other police officers also nodded in agreement.
This little episode will naturally not affect the ceremony in the ancestral hall.
After Lin Zehao put down the brush, the two lions with their eyes painted on began to dance.
I saw two lions, one yellow and one red, standing directly on the ground.
A series of graceful and elegant movements, such as leaping, taking position, turning, pushing forward, hanging and stepping, clamping the pole, sitting on the head, turning around, etc., made the crowd cheer and applaud.
In mid-air, two lions, one yellow and one red, jumped higher and higher, trying to see if they could bite the prize hanging at the top.
This time, the two lions leaped up at the same time, and the lion heads flew very high. In mid-air, the two inevitably came into contact.
The two lions naturally came into conflict.
I saw the yellow lion member holding up the lion head, dancing fiercely, but attacking the red lion with his legs.
Of course, when the red lion saw this scene, he immediately kicked out, intercepting and counterattacking at the same time.
The back and forth movement drew continuous cheers from the audience, and most people even stood up and began to applaud.
This kind of moderate fighting is normal behavior in lion dancing and is one of the rules.
It not only brings a better visual experience to the audience, but also makes the sponsors feel that they have got great value for money.
Therefore, although the two lions fought, it was all controlled within a certain range, and they did not use any moves to tear each other apart.
After all, we are all in the same industry, and as the best in this industry, there will be plenty of opportunities to get along with each other in the future. We will see each other every day, so there is no need to make the relationship awkward.
Of course, the most important thing is that they dare not play those tricks in front of a gangster like Lin Zehao.
If by any chance you anger the other party, losing your job would be the least of your worries. You might even lose your life.
In the end, after a fight, the red lion was clearly the better one. It jumped high at the moment of its kick and stepped on the yellow lion. The lion's head seemed to fly out directly, and its big mouth opened and closed, directly picking up the lettuce hanging high in the air in its mouth.
His eyes blinked with extraordinary agility, and a feeling of majesty and complacency was conveyed to everyone present.
"This lion is truly amazing, and it dances so well!"
"Of course. The two best lion dance teams in Hong Kong are all here. How can it be bad?"
"Especially when the two lions were fighting, it was so exciting!"
Everyone was talking at once, and without exception, they all expressed their approval of the performance of the two lions.
Lion dance is one of the traditional programs in Hong Kong Island, so they naturally have a very good appreciation ability.
At this time, the red lion jumped high off the wooden stake, which once again drew cheers from the crowd. It held the lettuce in its mouth and slowly came to Lin Zehao's side. After circling around him several times, it suddenly knelt on its front knee and handed the prize to him.
Moreover, at this moment, the lion that was so majestic just now was like an extremely well-behaved puppy. Such a contrast made everyone sigh at the superb skills of the lion dancers, and even commented: "In front of Wei Longhao, even the most majestic lion will become a pug."
Lin Zehao took the prize, took out a big red envelope from the wooden plate held by his younger brother, and put it back into the lion's mouth.
After receiving the red envelope, the red lion danced for a while, then took off its equipment and revealed its true form.
Two men who looked to be in their thirties knelt on one knee and said to Lin Zehao, "Thank you for the reward, boss!"
As everyone cheered, Lin Zehao smiled, nodded slightly at the two of them, then turned and left, entering the ancestral hall again.
As for the golden lion that did not win the prize, although there is no red envelope, the appearance fee will not be small.
However, for a long time to come, their team’s appearance fee will definitely be higher than that of the Red Lion.
At this time, Li Wenbin said again: "Everyone, the banquet has begun, everyone, eat and have fun!"
After saying this, he followed in the footsteps of his boss and headed towards the ancestral hall.
Although the food and wine on the table were plentiful, no one present had the appetite to enjoy them, as their minds had long since drifted to the inner hall.
They knew that at this moment, in the inner hall, the highlight was taking place.
Unfortunately, they didn’t have enough status and position to get in.
Heji Ancestral Hall, inner hall.
As the founder of Hutchison Whampoa, Hei Gu Ren convened his fellow gang members from Hong Kong Island to hold the Incense-Cutting Conference here.
From then on, Hong Kong Island had the authentic Hongmen heritage, and also Hutchison Whampoa.
From that time on, every important ceremony of Hutchison would be held here.
After so many years, this place is no longer just a place for holding ceremonies. It has been given more meaning by time and countless people.
Not only the people from Heji, but even people from other societies, when they come to this ancestral hall, will subconsciously put away their impetuous hearts.
At this moment, the place is already full of people.
The leaders of the four major social organizations in Hong Kong are all here.
Xiang Yan and Lin Shixia of Xin Ji, the nominal ruler of the Number Gang, Ge Zhixiong, and Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianyang of Hongxing were all present.
No matter how much friction there is between their gangs, they will never be absent from such scenes.
As for Camel from Dongxing and leaders of medium-sized societies such as Jia Qian Ge, although they are also among them, they are ranked relatively low.
This has nothing to do with personal relationships; it all depends on one's status in the world.
If people who cannot convince the public are ranked at the top, they will definitely not be able to convince the public.
All of He Shenghe's uncles were also present, standing in a row on the battlefield. Wang Cenming from the San Francisco Zhigongtang also appeared on the scene without exception.
However, judging from the slightly inquiring expressions on everyone's faces, it was clear that they were unaware of his true identity.
However, Wang Cenming's simple attire made everyone look dazed, as if they were back to the moment when they first took up their post.
You Bo changed his usual attire, with a red cloth strip on his head and a red robe on his body. There was an eight-diagram embroidered on the front of his body. He had a solemn expression, with Hong on his left shoulder and He on his right shoulder.
At this time, You Bo took a deep breath and shouted: "Open the altar!"
I saw that on the incense table behind him, there was a Hongmen waist certificate, which enshrined the names of the Hongmen ancestors of all generations and the five saints flags.
On both sides are the Thirty-Six Oaths of the Hongmen and the Monument of Ten Thousand Ancestors.
Red couplets are posted on both sides.
The first couplet is, the land is high and the hills are majestic, the mountains and rivers are picturesque forever.
The second line is, the door faces the sea, and the water from three rivers flows together for thousands of years.
The whole scene was solemn and dignified. Everyone's expressions were very serious and no one dared to make any sound.
This is their respect for tradition and even more so for the moral code of the underworld.
Lin Zehao, wearing a black Tang suit, walked slowly. Behind him, followed Chen Guoqiang, Li Wenbin, and Yang Chengrong.
At this time, two uncles, the groom Liu and Gao Lao, holding two steel knives, almost overlapped in mid-air, blocking Lin Zehao's way.
"The security is tight, do not offend!"
"Violators will be subject to ruthless military law!"
The two spoke on the left and the right. Hearing this, Lin Zehao looked solemn. He took a step forward, made a Hongmen gesture, and slowly said: "I am the pioneer of the Ming Dynasty. I am the first to build bridges and roads. I can open roads and break cities wherever I go. Who doesn't know Tianyou Hong!"
After answering, the groom Liu and Gao Lao put away their steel knives and let Lin Zehao and others pass.
Lin Zehao and others walked to the incense table and knelt down on the cushions that had been placed there long ago.
You Bo stood on the right and asked, "Why do you want to join the club?"
It was still Lin Zehao who answered, "Come to worship the Tiandihui."
"What's the matter?" You Bo asked again.
"Anti-Qing and restore Ming!" Lin Zehao replied.
"What's the proof?"
“There is poetry to prove it!”
"In the old days, the Qing people occupied our capital. Now the world respects its teacher and obeys him. The bright moon is the time for the uprising!"
Afterwards, Lin Zehao and others put their hands together, and the cannon inserted a burning incense stick between their hands.
After doing all this, the cannon came to the backs of several people with a steel knife in hand, tapped them lightly with the back of the knife, and asked, "Do you love brothers or gold?"
"Love brother!"
"Brothers or gold?"
"Love brother!"
After four rounds of communication, Lin Zehao and the other three answered with decisive answers without any hesitation.
You Bo looked at the scene in front of him and nodded with great satisfaction. He took out a dragon head stick from a beautifully shaped wooden box. He first held it in his hand and showed it to everyone. Then he handed it to Lin Zehao and said, "In front of the ancestors of the Hongmen, I hereby announce to my fellow martial artists that from now on, Wei Longhao is the nineteenth dragon head of our Heji!"
"Dragon head, please incense!"
As such, Wei Longhao's name was specially recorded in the family tree of He Ji, as a testimony forever.
From this moment on, Lin Zehao has truly become the youngest leading club manager in the history of Ho Sheng Ho.
Lin Zehao stood up, lit three and a half incense sticks, and slowly inserted them into the incense burner.
The curl of smoke slowly rose up, drifted out of the ancestral hall and drifted into the distance.
He was the youngest among the nineteen people who inscribed their names at the Heji Ancestral Hall.
It took Lin Zehao nearly three years to get to this point.
The people watching the ceremony saw this scene. No matter what grudges they had against Wei Longhao, they had to admit that his achievement was not only unprecedented, but it would be difficult to surpass it in the future.
The existence of Wei Long Hao not only highlights Hutchison Whampoa, but also the underworld of Hong Kong.
With such a heroic figure emerging, they will have a proud face when facing the outside world.
At this time, the artillery stepped forward and, in coordination with the internal gestures of the Hongmen, said: "The four, eight, nine, and two, one, are completed. The founder of the incense master leads the group of heroes and sits in the Hanlin Chen Jinnan to teach thousands of Hongmen children to read."
Afterwards, You Bo took a deep breath, made a gesture in return, and said, "This stick came from Baonan Mountain. The Five Ancestors passed it down to fight against the Hong family's lawless sons. One hundred and eight will determine the country."
"Da Liqiang, since joining the club, he has been daring and hardworking, and has made great contributions following the leader..."
"Today, the special position is 426, red stick!"
Among the three, Chen Guoqiang is the strongest in martial arts and deserves the title of Red Stick.
Chen Guoqiang took a few deep breaths, suppressed his inner excitement, and gestured back, saying, "Thank you, Master Xiang!"
After being convinced by Brother Hao, he followed his boss wholeheartedly and unwaveringly. No matter how desperate the situation was, he never thought of retreating until today.
It will be like this from now on, every day.
After embarking on this path, he, Chen Guoqiang, has never regretted it.
Afterwards, under Youbo's operation, Chen Guoqiang was given the Longyan double flower.
From this moment on, he, Daliqiang, became Hutchison’s red stick!
Although the people watching the ceremony remained silent, some people were still dissatisfied with the fact that Chen Guoqiang became the red stick compared to Wei Longhao taking over the dragon head stick.
For example, Crow from Dongxing and Thai Pepper from Xinji.
There was a look of disdain on their faces.
However, in this situation, no matter how unconvinced they were, they dared not say a word.
You Bo took a look and said, "Lawyer Bin."
"Disciple is here!" Li Wenbin thought about what was going to happen next, and even though he was a calm person, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"The position of Bai Shan is to manage documents, to support the princess in Muyang City, to manage the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the official rank is Ding 415."
"Since you joined the guild, you have followed the leader's lead and made great contributions."
"Today, I hereby take the office of 415, White Paper Fan!"
As a lawyer at Hutchison, and a person who provides advice and suggestions, it is natural for Li Wenbin to wear a white paper fan.
Li Wenbin made a gesture that suited his status and said, "Thank you, Master Xiang!"
Then, Huopao walked forward carrying a wooden plate covered with a red cloth. After You Bo lifted the red cloth, he took out a white paper fan and handed it to Li Wenbin.
Li Wenbin took the white paper fan that symbolized his identity with both hands, made a Hongmen gesture that matched his status, slowly stepped aside, and stood next to Chen Guoqiang, behind his boss.
As a top student who graduated from the University of Hong Kong, Li Wenbin had no trouble finding a job and did not need to take this path.
However, despite the confusion of others, he still resolutely decided to assist Brother Hao to go further and higher safely.
It's not about the money, it's about the camaraderie.
You Bo took another deep breath and said loudly: "Where is Yang Chengrong?"
Yang Chengrong made a Hongmen hand gesture and said loudly: "Disciple is here!"
At this moment, even though he was known for his expressionless face, his heart began to beat violently.
From the moment he was rescued by Brother Hao, he never thought that his life could be so wonderful.
No matter what the future holds, he will unwaveringly follow Brother Hao and keep going forever.
