In the last issue, we said that After Ah Le got the dragon head stick, he turned the whole situation around.
Big D, on the other hand, is wrong again and again in the strategy of campaigning for the speaker. From the moment he threatened to make a new and united victory, he pushed all favorable conditions to Ah Le, who had been waiting to see what happened and waited for an opportunity.
And just when the cooperation between the two began to go smoothly, Big D moved his mind to seize power.
With a dragon head stick and two talkers, Big D not only overestimated his relationship with Ah Le, but also underestimated Ah Le's desire for power.
In the end, he paid the price for his innocence.
And such a fierce Ah Le not only betrayed the oath he had made in front of Guan Gong, but also buried a seed of hatred and fear in his son's heart.
As we summarized last time, those who refuse the temptation of power cannot be the boss, because they will lose a lot of friends who come for profit, but those who are really tempted by power will also not be the boss, because he will attract many enemies who come for profit.
Two years later, the new election of the speakers arrived as scheduled.
Ah Le, who did not want to hand over power, met Jimmy, who also did not want to seize power.
But all the rules of the game, with the participation of another force, are infiltrated and subverted.
On this road, there is no turning back
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > part one: bait</h1>
After recognizing Ah Le as a dry grandfather, Jimmy's career to complete, there are many less obstacles, he is different from those who are bent on black production, after completing the original accumulation, Jimmy began to plan his own whitewashing road.
Instead of fighting for power and profit within the gang, he only wants to be a businessman who is not harassed by the gang forces and is not targeted by the police. He has no shortage of business acumen, and now he has the opportunity to do big business.
Developing inland is the trend of the times, and Jimmy, who started by piracy, is already a businessman with huge funds. In this virgin land that has not yet been reclaimed, he can build and wash away his gang identity.
With this kind of thinking, he naturally would not covet the position of the person who was about to be vacated. That's the world of The Old Boy, not "my" Jimmy's future.
But this gang, which has lasted for hundreds of years, has its own rules. The people who talk about things are not who wants to be, they can be, and the gang is not who wants to go, they can go.
For this young man with a brain and a clear view of the situation, Dumber gave great expectations.
Just as he had made Ah Le the speaker, he wanted to give this position to Jimmy.
But it wasn't just Dumber who took a fancy to Jimmy.
This is a new force, and unlike the policemen who have dealt with Gu Qiuzai here for more than a hundred years, they are not tenants, but owners.
Jimmy, who refused to run for the next speaker, did not realize that the moment he was selected by the two forces, he had no choice.
When faced with how to survive, he had no choice but to join the Ancient Puzzle Boy. And now, he has capital, connections, and status, and he just wants to be a decent businessman.
But what he was holding in his hand was not the opportunity he imagined, but the food thrown by the hunter.
On this day, Jimmy took his subordinate Ali to the mainland to meet with Chief He, who was in charge of the approval. But at this time, he saw the long-disappeared Master Su.
At this time, he remembered what Deputy Director Shi had reminded him: Master Su had been stared at. But Jimmy did not expect that it was not only Shi Ye Su who was being targeted.
In the end, Jimmy and Shiye Su were both arrested and imprisoned, and Shiye Su still foolishly felt that he knew Deputy Director Shi and could let them go as long as he said a word.
Hearing this, Jimmy Boy suddenly realized that this was an innings, but the terrible thing was that he did not know when this innings began.
It didn't take long for Deputy Director Shi to talk to Jimmy, you can go back, come here for sightseeing, no problem, but doing business, not ok.
The subtext here is that you are ancient puzzle boys, not businessmen. But why is Mr. Xu, who also has a gang background, still be able to do business here?
For you are disobedient old fools, and obedience is to be powerful. If you want to talk to Deputy Director Shi Jimmy about the conditions, you must sit in the position of the speaker.
This is the bait thrown by the hunter, but Jimmy, who is bent on whitewashing himself, is still willing to take the bait.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > Part II: Scramble</h1>
On the other hand, Ah Le did not intend to hand over the dragon head stick
The first thing he did was to paint the pie on the plane and let him kill the fire bull that was rumored outside that Ah Le had murdered Big D.
After that, he found several close elders to probe the wind, and the answer he got was basically satisfactory. As long as those who came out to choose the juniors, Dumbo could not withstand the pressure of these people.
In fact, those who can have the strength to run are Dongguan Zai and Jimmy, who recognized him as a grandfather 2 years ago.
But Dongguan Zai, like the original big D, only understands arbitrariness and does not understand the art of power.
The real opponent is actually Only Jimmy, who is favored by Dumber and has more and more plump wings.
His regular business attracted many forces within the gang, no one would go over with money, and he didn't have to add blood to the knife edge.
In this way, Ah Le's judgment of the situation is very clear.
The opponent who finally locked in was Jimmy, who said not to choose, but came out to stir up trouble.
As for Dongguan Tsai, Ah Le did not want to make too many enemies at the beginning, so he chose to use Huairou's means to stabilize Dongguan Tsai first.
The method, also very old-fashioned, still promises: "Next, you will be the speaker."
Although Dongguan Zai is very clear that this statement cannot be taken seriously, he still chooses to cooperate with Ah Le first.
On the other hand, since it is determined to compete for the identity of the person who is talking, it is necessary to be fully armed and on guard.
To this end, Jimmy called for Awu of the Number Gang. As a qualified thug, Jia Qian brother adheres to the workplace creed of "recognizing money and not recognizing people", as long as the money is enough, everything is easy to handle.
And the first problem that Ah Le gave Jimmy was that he saw blood.
At an internal meeting, He openly opposed Jimmy as the next speaker. The reason given was that Jimmy had an undercover agent by his side.
Dumbo knew that this was actually a deliberate attempt to embarrass Jimmy. But Dumbo still wanted Jimmy to show his attitude with action.
In the face of the malicious pressure of the string explosion, Jimmy did not show weakness, and as for whether Ali around him was undercover?
Jimmy knew very well that the answer didn't matter, but Ali's death was important. He is a gu puzzle boy, and there are not many choices in the ancient puzzle boy.
At this time, Ah Le was not idle. Together with Dongguan Tsai, he grabs one of the gold lords behind Jimmy, Mr. Guo. Attempted to use kidnapping to threaten Jimmy to withdraw from the election.
But Jimmy did not mean to stop there, a Mr. Guo fell, and Mr. Li and Mr. Zhao fell. Business cannot be done.
Seeing that the threat is not successful, a bloody rain and bloody wind are inevitable.
But what Ah Le now has to solve is Dunbo, who has always maintained the tradition of the gang.
Obviously, it is impossible for Ah Le to break through the barrier of Dunbo. And the last thing That Dumber mentioned, the unsightly thing, was actually ah le's poisonous hand on big D.
Now, in Dumber's case, Jimmy is a sure winner, but Ah Le still doesn't want to take it.
Get rid of a big D, not bad, a Dunber.
After arranging for his men to hide the dragon head stick, Ah Le set out to deal with Jimmy. But compared to the plot against Big D, he has little way to deal with it, and can only assign a plane to blackmail Jimmy.
"The brainless ancient puzzle boy has only been an ancient puzzle boy all his life."
Therefore, the plane is always a gu puzzle boy, and Ah Le, who exhausted all tricks, finally revealed the nature of the ancient puzzle boy.
Upon receiving the call and learning that Dumbor had been killed, Jimmy immediately became alert, knowing that Ah Le had already started to act.
Now, the first thing he had to do was to protect his wife, but the plane still seized the opportunity.
Jimmy knew exactly what kind of person Airplane was, and he had the courage to make a move, but his wisdom wasn't enough for him to understand this game of thrones.
Faced with an airplane being used to the extreme, Jimmy wanted to give him a chance, and also to give himself, a chance.
Of course, this risky approach caused the dissatisfaction of Brother Jiaqian. Obviously, what can be solved with one shot is just to add some money, so why bother.
But Jimmy, there was an idea for him. The plane was a reliable pistol, and he had to keep it for himself.
After Ah Le finished his move, Jimmy responded immediately. And his strategy is far more poisonous than Ah Le's.
At this time, Jimmy knew very well that Ah Le would not hand over power unless, of course, he was killed.
To figure this out, all you have to do is to let anyone kill Ah Le.
The most reliable candidate, of course, is the money brother who can solve the problem by spending money. But the most suitable candidate is Ah Le's cronies.
Because this crime of betraying Gan Ye cannot fall on the head of the next person to speak. So Jimmy sent Brother Gachan to kidnap several of Ah Le's cronies.
But they are all out of the mix, and everyone has a few hard bones. But Jimmy, with violence, crushed their hard bones. And this cruel method, even Brother Jiaqian, who has seen the world, can't help but vomit afterwards.
After seeing Jimmy's ferocity, the few who survived began to soften.
Another goal is to hold Mr. Guo's Dongguan Boy in his hand, in order to catch this big fish, Jimmy will not hesitate to use himself as bait to attract the attention of Dongguan Tsai. Then send Brother Jia Qian to recapture Mr. Guo.
Of course, the purpose of all this is not to save Mr. Guo, but to send Dongguan Zai to the police in this way.
It's just that the plan had a little accident, and took the life of Brother Jiaqian into it. But the end result is still what Jimmy wants.
After solving Dongguan Tsai, Ah Le's cronies seized the opportunity to find his son from the little, ah Le showed his soft side.
He knew he owed too much to his son, so he didn't want to hurt him again, but the moment he let his guard down, he fell into the trap that Jimmy had laid in ambush.
After both main opponents have been solved, within the gang, Jimmy has no obstacles.
The string explosion makes Jimmy say to the lamp, "Ah Le's business has nothing to do with me."
Jimmy, lied. He was tired of this gang for a long time, and all he wanted was to be the person who had been in charge for two years, and then he was gone.
But things are not as simple as he thinks.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > part three: into the urn</h1>
After getting the identity of the speaker, Jimmy has the qualifications to negotiate with Deputy Director Shi.
Looking out the window at the plane being chased, Jimmy felt that he was the one who had a choice, but in fact, he couldn't even control a plane that was in distress.
Everything was settled, and Jimmy found Deputy Director Shi again.
He got the right to invest in the mainland, and his project could also be landed immediately, but everything in front of him was marked with a price tag.
When Jimmy thought he was a businessman, he suddenly found that he was still a Gu Qiu Boy, a gu Qiu Boy who was completely transparent in front of the Deputy Director of the Shi Department.
In the end, he can only be like Mr. Xu, an obedient, gu confused boy.
Behind him, there was no way back, and he couldn't bear the consequences of giving up everything.
He had his family, he had his wife, and his unborn children, and Jimmy had lost, or rather, had long since lost the right to choose.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="14" > Summary:</h1>
From "Dragon City Years" to "Peace is Precious", Du Qifeng drew a nearly perfect end to the Hong Kong films with the theme of Ancient Puzzle Boy.
And this seemingly dull stroke is actually the last echo left by a special group in a special era.
It is part of history, it is also part of culture.
When the tributaries merge into the trunk, when everything is all about, a new equilibrium is ushered in, some are engulfed by the tide, some are pushed to the top.
Who wants to reject this era? Who can reject this era?
Only by thinking through these two problems can we understand: peace is precious.
