best feature of the underworld organization is its ability to execute regardless of its disregard. Modern society is constrained by many red tapes of laws and regulations (this kind of malpractice is especially serious in a democratic system). In this case, in order to solve some special problems quickly and effectively, various forms of organization beyond the system become necessary. From spy agents between countries to the underworld underworld, they have become special organizations that are "super-legal"...It can be said that the underworld is the same as the secret service organization, and its greatest function is super execution power. This essential feature requires it to simplify the intermediate links as much as possible in the organizational structure, and requires a pyramidal structure. In this way, the command can be executed in the shortest time after being transmitted, without excessive transmission and verification in the middle. In order to be fast and effective, you can even ignore the correctness of the task itself. Everyone is just an executor, and there is no need-no right or wrong question. This is the core culture of triad organizations-"It's better to make mistakes, but also to be quick."
From this point of view, the underworld structure must be a parental autocracy, and the executors are only tools. This is not the personal preference of a certain leader, but the fundamental basis for the existence of the underworld organization. This is also the most internal manifestation of the phrase "people are in the rivers and lakes and cannot help themselves".
Once an organization such as the underworld is hierarchized and modernized, its strategic structure will definitely be strengthened, but its execution will inevitably be compromised. This is a contradiction between the organizational structure and execution capability that has not been resolved by traditional underworld organizations. At that time, Chen Qili, the leader of the Taiwan Bamboo Union Gang, invited Bai Lang Zhang Anle to reorganize the Bamboo Union Gang, reorganize the organizational structure, build organizational culture, and change behavior strategies in accordance with the modern corporate system... The result is that the gang is corporatized, and at the same time the executive power is greatly improved. Weaken. The reform of the Zhulian Gang finally ended with the assassination of Jiangnan and the imprisonment of Chen Qili. This is a warning to the later underworld organizations, do not easily try to introduce modern systems into the organization. The modern system inherently conflicts with the spirit of the underworld.
In addition to the organizational structure, the autocratic characteristics of the underworld also require its members to never have a sense of individual independence. For the underworld, personal awareness and judgment will not only hinder its members' ability to perform tasks, but also shake the foundation of their organization. This is similar to the army. Soldiers only have the power to execute, but they have no right to interrogate whether the mission is correct or not. Absolute trust and loyalty to the organization. At this point, the underworld and the army have fundamental similarities, because the army, like the underworld, requires absolute execution.
In "The Road of No Return", the fundamental contradiction between Li Bingxian and the boss is reflected in the contradiction in the cultural structure of the underworld. The boss is implementing absolute parental dictatorship-this has nothing to do with personal quality, this is the fate given to him by the underworld organization. And Li Bingxian requires personal judgment while working (the underworld), and even requires the preservation of dignity and dreams... This is extremely stupid in the underworld. As the personal dignity of secular values, he undoubtedly has strong personal feelings and positive meaning, but as a member of the underworld organization, he is undoubtedly seeking his own death.
As an elite of the younger generation of the underworld, Li Bingxian once had a chance to survive-his boss asked him to apologize to survive. But he would rather die than surrender. As the defender of the overall underworld system, his boss has no choice but to kill him and warn other members of the organization. This choice has brought another fatal problem to the underworld, that is, once a conflict is encountered, it will bring a fatal blow to the entire organization, and Li Bingxian will be ruined with the boss. The organization of the underworld lacks, and it can even be said that there is no way to resolve contradictions. They lack a broad mind and cannot carry out serious "criticism and self-criticism" like our party; nor can they rule by voting like a capitalist parliament. ……So once you encounter a problem, you can only take a “road of no return”. This is another fatal flaw of this organization.
