Chapter 1,201 Interesting(1/2)
A restaurant with integrity.
"Why can't we go in?"
Ali looked at Jimmy with annoyance on his face.
"This is a rule. Apart from those who are running for election, only elders with voting rights can enter today."
Jimmy shook his head and stood quietly in the middle of the crowd.
"Tch, Jimmy, what's the use of being so loyal to the plane? He doesn't even have the right to fight for your right to vote."
The stupid guy on the other side took the initiative to provoke him.
The other young and Dangerous boys around him immediately laughed when they heard this.
Because the candidates for the speaker's election are at odds with each other this time, the subordinates naturally dislike each other.
Now the final election confirmation is being prepared inside, and the younger brothers below are also standing clearly separated.
If someone who is not familiar with the situation looks over, they will never think that this is a member of a society. Instead, they will mistakenly think that several society bosses are negotiating above.
"If there were no planes, you would be lying in a stinky ditch now because of your stupidity. Don't pick up the bowl to eat. Now you are scolding me without even putting the bowl down."
Jimmy glanced at Shaqiang, and then spoke calmly.
Due to historical reasons, Dongxing currently has too few famous and powerful uncles.
Because I didn’t expect that there would be so many people running for election.
In order to look good and prevent one family from becoming the dominant one, the general election is treated as a child's play.
Therefore, we had to re-select some people from the current powerful newcomers and the relatively powerful older generation to have voting rights.
It stands to reason that Jimmy's strength is enough to have the right to vote.
But in the end he did not get the right to vote.
The reason is also very simple.
He always regards himself as the younger brother of the plane and has no independence from the dock.
So when I was choosing my voting rights, I was blocked by the remaining few people, saying that he was the younger brother of the airplane, and theoretically the voting rights should be the same as those of the airplane.
Moreover, he has long made it clear that he will support the plane's re-election.
If you really give him the right to vote, it will be like having two votes on the plane.
Because of this, in the end, although Jimmy was rich and powerful, he still stood outside the door.
But he was very open-minded about this.
Jimmy's original intention of joining the society was also to prevent his business from being affected by the society members.
Now his business has reached the mainland, where his sponsor has actually reminded him that there has always been zero tolerance for dynamic gangs like Hong Kong Island.
If his business wants to prosper in the long term, it is necessary to make a break with the society.
It is precisely because of this that Jimmy behaved very calmly when facing the Eastern Star election, and even actively stayed away from the periphery of the center of power.
"Everyone is here, Uncle Zhong, sit down!"
The plane was the last to appear. Seeing him come in, several uncles and elder brothers who were only responsible for voting quickly stood up.
"Dragon head!"
Several people smiled and said hello to the plane.
But his smile did not last long.
When he turned around and saw Dongguan Zai, Situ Haonan and Golden Retriever sitting at the table, with no intention of saying hello when he came in, his face immediately darkened.
So without saying a word, he directly pulled out his chair and sat across from the three of them.
In the past, he always sat in the main seat, and the others were only allowed to accompany him in the seats on either side.
Now, because the main seat is placed with a token passed down from Dongxing's former speaker, the plane can only be moved even though it is still the speaker.
Such a change of position means that he is now sitting in the same position as Dongguan Zai and the other three. Next, naturally, each will run for the speaker based on their abilities.
"Ahem, everyone is here, and the speaker election is about to begin. Fourth brother, I want you to be a witness."
When Uncle Zhong saw everyone gathered, the atmosphere was a little tense, so he quickly reminded everyone and started the walking process directly.
This time Dongxing held a speaker election and invited a respected elder from the community to be a witness.
The person whom Uncle Zhong calls fourth brother is a short, fat old man.
He looks similar to Dumbledore from Lian Sheng. In fact, the two are indeed of the same generation, and they are also brothers.
However, Deng Bo was unwilling to give up the power in his hands for a long time, but the fourth brother chose to abdicate early in order to make way for others.
The Huafu gang that was running rampant in Tsim Sha Tsui used to be with Fourth Brother, but because Fourth Brother took the initiative to give in, the other party hooked up with Dumbledore again.
"Thanks to everyone for being so considerate, today I have the honor to serve as a witness to participate in the election confirmation of your association."
The fourth brother has matured into a mature person. This election of Dongxing requires a respected senior for the sake of authority.
The development of Hong Kong society has not been smooth in the past few years. Today's younger generation generally does not respect martial ethics and is often merciless when meeting old guys.
As a result, when the old timers used it, they found that the quantity was pitifully small.
The fourth brother was also forced to put himself on the shelf this time, so he explained at the beginning that he was only a witness, and his intention was obviously to clear up the relationship.
After the scene was finished, the fourth brother picked up a box on the table.
"This is the souvenir of the speaker you prepared. In fact, it is not necessary now. The fundamental reason why we prepared the dragon-headed stick at the time was that the information dissemination was not developed at that time, and the speaker changed too frequently, so the subordinates could not remember the speaker.
, we can only rely on the dragon head stick to determine our identity."
Fourth brother is getting older, so some nagging is inevitable.
Dongxing has done a lot of homework for this speaker election.
In the past, Dongxing's speakers were basically tenured for life. The reason why most speakers stepped down was not because their term had expired, but because they died unexpectedly or were kicked out.
Under this system, there is naturally no need for a so-called token to prove the identity of the speaker.
Although it has now been replaced by a round of elections, with the current development of communications, it has become very simple to understand the speaker's information, and the use of tokens is obviously a bit unnecessary.
"After all, I still need a token."
Uncle Zhong smiled and interrupted the fourth brother's narration.
"Well, that's okay too!"
The fourth brother smiled and did not dwell too much on this matter.
"The original intention of establishing the club is for everyone to have something to eat and not be bullied by others. If you join the same club, you will eat together in the same pot. Everyone must value harmony!"
"Especially the speaker is the leader of a society. It is necessary to treat the members of the society equally and not betray the brothers. If someone does something detrimental to the society and brothers during the election stage, he will not only lose the election
You are not qualified, and you must accept the punishment of three swords and six holes!"
What follows is also a common practice. This kind of common practice often sounds nice in words, but is basically impossible to implement in practice.
After hearing what Fourth Brother said, everyone nodded in agreement, but naturally only they knew what they were thinking.
"Okay, this is the last meeting before the voting. Everyone decides whether you want to run for election. From today on, the electors and their uncles will no longer be in contact. If you want to run for election, you need to rely on your ability and compete fairly."
In fact, in this East Star election, the most fundamental reason why an outsider like Fourth Brother was invited to preside over the meeting was because this was the first speaker election in East Star, and it was messed up by several candidates.
For example, as soon as the voters were determined, several candidates couldn't wait to entertain everyone, and used coercion and inducement to win over everyone, forcing them to express their opinions on the spot.
As the candidates hosted a banquet for all their voting uncles, the situation became different.
Seeing that something was not right, Zhongbo and other older generations could only invite foreign aid with election experience to re-write some rules.
For example, the first rule is that candidates cannot have direct contact with the older generation who have voting rights.
Naturally, it is impossible to completely eliminate some possible insider trading between the two parties, but it can at least ensure that the conflicts between the two parties will not become too intense.
After all, many times, when the two sides stand together in person, sometimes they have to express their stance, but if there is no direct contact, there is a lot of room for maneuver.
Although this may seem useless, it is actually an extremely clever test of how candidates can get people to vote willingly.
If a candidate can make people vote willingly when they are not in contact with voters, then this is the candidate's ability.
"I don't have a choice!"
The fourth brother originally just asked a routine question, but who knew that the golden-haired tiger Sha Meng raised his hand procrastinatingly at this time.
"you sure?"
The fourth brother was also stunned for a moment. He probably had lived for so many years, and this was the first time he had encountered a candidate who would voluntarily withdraw from the speaker election at such a juncture.
The election of speaker is not a child's play. Don't look at what the fourth brother said just now: treat everyone equally and be fair and just.
But in fact, when these candidates come forward, they are already competing with each other.
At this juncture, even if one of the parties chooses to give in, the sky is not the limit.
Because for everyone who is running for the election, since the other party has the courage to participate in the first election, there is no guarantee that they will continue to choose in the future, so the best way is to nip the trouble in the bud.
It is difficult for competitors to make concessions to calm things down, and it is also difficult for the candidates' subordinates to accept it.
