Chapter 8 I vote for Wei Longhao "Since the incident with the previous leader, Shing Wo hasn't had a leader for four years. People in the martial arts world say that the leader is a three-star evil position, which is extremely ominous and will not last long." "Especially the leaders of large societies, who are extremely vicious and will not have a good end." "But a country cannot be without a king for a day, a family cannot be without a master for a day, let alone Shenghe of 50,000 people?" At this point, You Bo paused, both to give everyone time to digest the words and to take the opportunity to observe everyone's reactions. Seeing that no one stood up to object, You Bo continued: "So, I decided to start the Shenghe Longtou election for one year. Except for us uncles of the older generation, the new generation who think they are qualified can stand up and run." "But let me be frank. Choosing a faucet is not like cooking. It involves risks." You Bo patted Lin Zehao on the shoulder and continued, "According to the tradition of He Shenghe for so many years, our uncles need to nominate candidates." “I nominate Lin Zehao as the candidate for the new leader of Wo Shing Wo. If you have any new candidates you like, you can propose them now.” "We believe in democracy, so there is nothing that cannot be discussed."
You Bo smiled, sat down, picked up the teacup and started sipping. When they were chatting alone in the study, he was shocked many times by this kid Ah Hao, which made his uncle feel embarrassed. Now with his sudden move, it should be Lin Zehao's turn to be confused, right? As Youber expected, Lin Zehao was indeed a little confused. Before, Uber only said that it would definitely promote him to the top, but it didn’t say that it would nominate the leader so soon? But Lin Zehao was not panicked at all. So what if he was the leader? This position will be his sooner or later. It is better to be nominated now so that he can take power earlier and perform better. Lin Zehao is confident that who else can be the leader? The uncles were still immersed in the shock of the start of the leadership election and were whispering to each other. Uber's sudden change left these people confused and they decided to wait and see what happens next. Cannon was the first to speak, "You Bo, I absolutely support you on this matter. I want to vote for Wei Longhao!" "And I want to say one more thing. Apart from Wei Longhao, is there anyone else in He Shenghe who can hold the leading position?" "Tell me, are there any more?" After saying this, Huopao secretly gave Lin Zehao a thumbs up, with a look of admiration on his face. That look seemed to be saying, you are so powerful that you can even deal with this old guy Uber! Among Shenghe’s uncles, Uber’s influence is definitely at the T0 level. Cannon, Old Ghost, Shuangfanming, and Gao Lao are slightly weaker and belong to the T1 level. "That's right, in the entire Shenghe, only Weilonghao is qualified to be the leader!" "Ah Hao has been running around for the brothers in the society over the past few years. Even my daughter-in-law's job was found by Ah Hao." "Ah Hao is not only capable, but also righteous. If a man like him doesn't want to be the leader, who else is qualified?" Over the years, Lin Zehao has tried his best to win over these uncles, both openly and secretly. Not only does he ask about their well-being on a daily basis, but he also gives them benefits whenever he has the chance. Gold and famous watches are no big deal. As a result, at least half of his uncles supported him.
It’s just that Youbo didn’t support Lin Zehao before, which led to many uncles not daring to stand up. In recent years, who in the community dares to openly challenge Uber? Regardless of means, your qualifications alone are enough to suffocate you! Soon, more than half of the uncles voted in favor. Apart from the five abstentions, only Dakoujiu, Gao Lao and Lao Guisen did not raise their hands. "Dakoujiu, what do you mean, do you agree or disagree?" "If you want to agree, then agree. If you don't agree, then don't agree. Now you're neither saying anything nor expressing your opinion. What are you doing? Are you pretending to be an expert?" The artillery took the lead without any hesitation. Shuang Fanming also said sarcastically: "Since you are already old, you should be more stable. Don't learn from the young people to mess around. Be careful that you might fall to your death one day!" The two of them were clearly determined to support Lin Zehao to the end. Even before, when facing Uber, there was no retreat. Now even Uber has been dealt with by Lin Zehao, and Lao Guisen and his few men can’t cause any trouble. Old Guisen's face was gloomy, and he secretly cursed You Bo as a bastard for having no stance. We had clearly agreed before that we would unite and stop Wei Longhao from taking power. In the blink of an eye, Wei Longhao was directly nominated as the leader. Most of the uncles did not have much conflict with Lin Zehao. At most, they had different ideas and were reluctant to give up power. But Lao Guisen, Gao Lao and Da Koujiu are different. They are the most popular among fans in Wo Shing Wo and have the biggest business. Before, they sent people to Lin Zehao’s place to secretly sell the goods. Lin Zehao seemed to be unaware of it, but the little brother sent by Lao Guisen disappeared the next day and has not appeared since. Although there is no actual explanation, the rumor is spreading across Hong Kong Island that Wei Long Hao’s venue does not allow fans to leave. If Wei Longhao really gets what he wants, what will happen to the business of the three of them? What to do with large sums of money? As the saying goes, blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents! They absolutely cannot retreat from this step! "Uber, isn't it a bit against the rules to suddenly start the leader election? The brothers below are totally unprepared." Lao Guisen knew that a head-on confrontation was unrealistic, and the three of them alone would not be enough, so he could only use the excuse of public opinion to bind them. In fact, the matter of selecting a leader is not irrelevant to the "four-nine guys" who have the largest number of members and the lowest status in the society. It can only be said that it is completely irrelevant. First of all, the "four-nine sons" have no right to vote at all. Even the regional leaders have to stand aside. Only uncles are eligible to vote. Secondly, many gang members who have been in gangs for their entire lives may not necessarily get to see the leader in person, especially for large gangs like Wo Shing Wo. So who is the leader, what does it matter? Instead of worrying about this, it is better to think about whether there is a job today and whether there is money to be made. For the 1980s, the one who can make them live a good life is a good leader! From a legal perspective, the uncles’ voting is only to select candidates, which does not mean that they will definitely become the leader in the end. It also depends on their performance in the past year, their contribution to the community, etc.
This system not only effectively restricts the power of the uncles, but also motivates the candidates. At least during the one-year election period, they must do something for the community in order to win the support of the public. However, as long as there is a system, there will always be loopholes. For example, now Uber is taking advantage of this loophole and nominating only one candidate, Lin Zehao, without even any competitors. Such a bold move made Lin Zehao, who was watching silently on the side, determined that as long as he had power, he would reform the system to avoid being sidelined by these uncles.
