The Intricacies of “Complimentary” Positions and Controversial Elections in Hong Kong’s Jockey Club

There are a few “complimentary” positions in Hong Kong, and many people drool and hate to do them, so they try their best to fight for them.

The Jockey Club is a “club”, and many situations can be “black-box operations”. In particular, there is a strange system, that is, the directors recommend the selection committee, and inversely, the directors are selected by the selection committee. Therefore, the interests are linked to each other, you have me, and I have you.

Therefore, the relationship has always been extremely “harmonious”, no one will “make troubles and rain”, and it has been stable for hundreds of years. Until last year, the “King of the New Territories” Liu Yeqiang suddenly wanted to “elect” directors.

Do you want to add quotation marks for a selected word? It is because the directors are never really “selected”, but are created through negotiation, based on seniority and seniority. There is absolutely no need to “select” if you want.

How can Liu Yeqiang have the strength or influence to break a network of relationships like a fortified wall? Such a forceful push has already offended a large number of established forces, and I believe there will be no chance to sit on the board of directors again.

What about the chairman? Originally, it has always been a rule that as long as the chairman is under 70 years old, most of them can be re-elected once. However, there was another storm in the last session. Some people made great efforts to “persuade” Chen Nanlu not to fight for re-election.

As a result, Li Zihou sat upright in his early 60s. That is to say? That is, if he fights, he may lose his fortune. However, here comes the question again, if you want to serve two terms, what about Liao Changjiang, the vice chairman who will be 66 years old next year? He definitely wants to do two terms. When Li Zihou’s term is completed, will he be “persuaded” by others? The pondside crane really wants to know!
