Vicious dogs in Hong Kong, entrepreneurs practicing evil cultivation

December 10th, the second Sunday of December!

The "Hong Kong International Sports Cup" kicked off its season with the distinctive sound of a gong.

The jockeys led their elaborately dressed racehorses into the arena, their muscles gleaming like satin under the blazing sun.

The spectators on both sides of the stands could not hide their excitement, cheering and shouting for their favorite jockeys and horses. Unfortunately, today was destined to disappoint them.

Chen Guanjiang turned his gaze to the fifteen people on the platform, the twelve members of the Jockey Club Board of Directors, who were:

John Sanders, HSBC tycoon;

Royal Counsel Zhang Aowei;

Sir Jian Yueqiang, patriarch of Bank of East Asia;

John Madden, senior manager of Wheelock & Co.

Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Hong Kong, Sir Robert Ho Peck;

Li Mingze, president of the Hong Kong Freemasonry branch;

Chief Secretary for Administration and Information and President of the Chamber of Commerce, Ji Da;

Hong Kong Police Commissioner Xue Jifu;

John Swire, taiwan of Swire Group;

Henry Keswick, patriarch of the Jardine Matheson Group;

Royal Counsel, Attorney General, Royal Legal Advisor, Chairman of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, and the nervous and embarrassed Zhou Xinian.

Also present at the table, non-Hong Kong Jockey Club directors included Governor Murray MacLehose, Financial Secretary Charles Hea, and Tang Siu-chi, who was grinning from ear to ear under the blazing sun with his bald head flashing.

It can be said that these fifteen people are the most influential representatives in Hong Kong today, and among the more than 1300 Jockey Club members in the exclusive viewing area, the majority are British and there are relatively few Chinese faces.

Before 1850, the Jockey Club had only 100 members, but after 1900 it expanded to 200, with strict restrictions on Chinese members joining.

Until that fire that killed nearly 600 people, Ho Tung intervened forcefully and became a director of the Jockey Club, gradually opening up and allowing a small number of Chinese to join the club.

After the war, the Hong Kong Jockey Club launched a membership referral mechanism, requiring three members or one director to recommend a member, who could then obtain director approval to become a member.

In other words, Zhou Xinian could have easily passed the recommendation without needing approval from anyone else, but it was still rejected by the Jockey Club.

Until last year, the Hong Kong Jockey Club underwent professional reforms, expanding its membership to 1500.

董事数量也从1970年5-8人扩充至如今的12人，华人董事从1-2人扩充至4-5人。

Li Guoneng introduced the history of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and its members, so that Chen Guanjiang could have a basic understanding of Hong Kong's upper class.

However, Chen Guanjiang simply couldn't remember the nearly 1500 members, especially since most of them were from England or Scotland, making him even more face-blind.

But it's okay.

After today, all the directors and members of the Jockey Club, including the more than 7000 Jockeys in the stands, will remember him, Chen Guanjiang!

The second hand swept past, and it was exactly twelve o'clock.

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted in the stadium. The number one jockey, amidst the host's enthusiastic introduction, gracefully bowed to express his gratitude, accepting cheers from the spectators on both sides of the stands.

After all the jockeys and horses had been introduced, they lined up on the track, waiting for... that gunshot!

Sudden!!

A huge open-air racecourse, large enough to hold 10,000 people, saw a garbage truck moving as slowly as an oxcart emerge from the back.

Instead of trash cans, the vehicle carried two strange pieces of equipment, one large and one small.

Whether it was the first horse race held in Haojiang in 1842 or the official start of horse racing in Hong Kong after the completion of Happy Valley Racecourse, this abrupt situation was unprecedented.

The audience thought it was some exciting program, but the members were stunned and then angrily rebuked him. Zhou Xinian sighed in his heart and slowly walked down from the platform.

at the same time!

Dozens of unidentified people suddenly ran into the venue. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they changed out of their civilian clothes and into police uniforms. Zhou Zhanqiao got up from the members' seats, put on his police hat, and walked towards the track.

All members of the Zhou Yongtai family went down from the stands to maintain order in the stadium, ready to deal with any irrational behavior from angry spectators.

"Sorry, excuse me for a moment..."

Chen Guanjiang apologized to Li Guoneng beside him, slowly rose from the audience, and strolled toward the runway that truly opened the eyes of Hong Kong's top brass.

"Ah Jiang?"

Looking at the steady figure behind him, Li Guoneng never dreamed that this guy would be so crazy, making such a big blunder at the most important event in Hong Kong.

Even if everyone was still stunned, they realized at this moment that something had happened.

The first jockey to react shouted that he wanted to take the horse back, but he was subdued by the criminal investigation team and the Zhou family.

until!!

Zhou Xinian took the microphone and spoke in a perfect London accent: "Ladies and gentlemen! Your Excellency the Governor of Hong Kong, distinguished guests, and fellow citizens who love horse racing."

"The Hong Kong Jockey Club received a report from the 'Wang Gou Daily' alleging that someone was drugging horses to manipulate races. The report stated that the drugs evaporated very quickly and were extremely difficult to detect after the race. The race has been temporarily suspended for on-site testing..."

"You dare to use drugs?"

"Rumors started circulating three years ago!"

"I don't know why it has been so popular for three years..."

"Yes, that's why it can't be detected..."

Chen Guanjiang walked to the designated viewing area and smiled helplessly.

As things had developed to this point, Zhou Xinian was still unwilling to take a gamble and, instead of taking responsibility, shifted the blame to the "Wang Gou Daily".

If the test results are negative, Chen Guanjiang will likely bear full responsibility, while Zhou Xinian will only bear secondary responsibility and can use excuses such as being misled to exonerate himself.

That's good, the bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!

Chen Guanjiang didn't even glance at Wang Dehui, who was passing by, and went straight to Yu Jingwei, asking, "To ensure the authenticity of the news, please ask TVB to temporarily grant authorization."

Yu Jingwei did not express his opinion, but instead turned his attention to Li Mingze, who in turn turned his attention to the four people who symbolized the pinnacle of power in Hong Kong.

After listening to Li Mingze's translation, MacLehose stared at Chen Guanjiang with a very complicated look, then smiled and nodded.

Then, Sandas nodded calmly, and Xia Dingji and Hao Lishi had no objections either.

Li Mingze nodded in agreement, and Yu Jingwei relayed the nod. Chen Guanjiang waved to signal the 12 reporters to contact the TVB staff to develop the footage on site.

Normally, photos can only be developed in the newspaper office's "darkroom" to avoid exposure of the film, but for paparazzi, any technical difficulty can be overcome.

The paparazzi team uses cars as standard equipment, and the trunk of each team is converted into a mobile "darkroom".

If necessary, the "forced rinse" method can be used to shorten the development time to five minutes.

The goal is to ensure that even if the surreptitious filming is discovered, the photos can be developed quickly, with one person riding a motorcycle to escape the scene with the photos, while the others stay behind to buy time or provide venting services.

and so!

A makeshift darkroom can be created simply by removing the trunk of a small team, putting it in a trash can, and covering it with a black cloth.

To ensure they died knowing the truth, only reporters carrying film reels were allowed into the darkroom; only TVB (Television Broadcasts Limited) was permitted to enter with cameras for broadcasting…
