Hong Kong Island Old Events

Chapter 229 Picking Peaches

The criminal team was very good at collecting corpses. They collected the corpses and sent them to the morgue before the anti-corruption office came downstairs.

He Dingxian then handed the gun to the forensic department, which issued a misfire report, and then went to the equipment department to sign for a new gun.

The case is over. He committed suicide out of fear of crime, shot and injured a police officer, and was charged with corruption.

Despite being a dead man.

In the evening of the same day, "Ta Kung Pao", "Police News", "Oriental Evening News" and other newspapers published the "Corruption Case of the Wan Chai Equipment Division", immediately announcing the police's thunderous tactics to the public. The citizens lamented the police's rapid actions. , couldn’t help but be shocked by the toughness of the anti-corruption office.

In fact, citizens all know that the police force is scapegoating. Citizens all understand that the police officer who jumped to his death was forced to do so, so what? What the citizens want is an explanation! If you make a mistake, admit it! Why should people be punished when they break the law, but why can bureaucrats cover up each other when they commit crimes?

No matter how powerful you are, you have to push someone to shoulder the responsibility!

The eyes of the people are sharp. If they don't speak sometimes, it doesn't mean they don't understand. Just because they understand, they will compromise with the rulers. Just because they are smart, they will turn a blind eye or close one eye.

The power of the people is powerful, so public opinion is always the best weapon for politicians.

As for the deputy director of Tuan Jerry, who was shot to death in public? In terms of politics, this is a trivial matter, and it is not worth investigating. Will a dead person still go to court to sue?

night.

He Dingxian was sitting in the living room at home, making tea, and said: "Shengsheng, how about foreign arms?"

Jiang Tiansheng was wearing a suit and sat next to him. He took the tea cup with both hands respectfully, raised his eyes to glance at the boss, weighed it and said: "The arms business in Southeast Asia has always been booming, especially in Southeast Asia, Nanyang and other places."

"People there are either fighting and fighting for territory, or they are thinking about independence and fighting for political power. The prices are much more expensive than on Hong Kong Island."

He recalled the newspapers of the past two days in his mind, and secretly marveled, wouldn't the big boss want to take a bite of Gui Lao's job? You know, the Wan Chai Police Station where the incident occurred is the Big Boss' territory, and the anti-corruption office is under the Big Boss. Combined with the fact that the Big Boss asked about the arms business, some answers are self-evident.

Jiang Tiansheng noticed the big boss's gaze and quickly lowered his head to drink tea, not daring to think about it again.

He Dingxian smiled and said: "Has Tianyang gained a foothold abroad?"

Jiang Tiansheng replied: "Thanks to the big boss, an international theater chain has started construction. The brothers are living a good life in Nanyang. They have jobs during the day and activities at night. They have territory and business. They are safe and sound."

Whether or not a society has a company and starts construction on its land is a matter of difference between heaven and earth.

He Dingxian also picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "How many people are there abroad?"

"More than two hundred."

Jiang Tiansheng reported a small number, but specifically pointed out: "These two hundred people are all from the development of Hong Kong Island. They are all brave enough to fight. They are not dwarf mules. They can compete with the local community of thousands of people." One touch.”

"Are there many Nanyang societies?" He Dingxian didn't understand. Jiang Tiansheng said: "Like Hong Kong Island, there are various hometown societies, but the most powerful one is the Min Zi Banner, followed by the Hakka Chamber of Commerce, including the Min Zi Banner, Chaozhou, and Meizhou , Ganzhou and other forces."

The Hakka Chamber of Commerce is actually a Hakka Chamber of Commerce. The Hakka are an ethnic group distributed in the three provinces of western Fujian, eastern Guangdong and Ganzhou. They originated from the Yiguan Nandu in the Song Dynasty and participated in the historical process of the development of the south. They specifically refer to the Ganjiang River, The three river systems of Tingzhou and Meizhou were the fulcrums. The Han people developed and settled in the three nearby plains. The main areas were Ganzhou, Tingzhou (today's Longyan and Sanming, Fujian), Meizhou, Huizhou, Shencheng, etc.

Although the cause of the Han nationality's migration to the south was the defeat of the Song Dynasty, in the later period, they not only developed the south, but also quietly boarded the train of shipping culture. As a result, the economy of the Southern Song Dynasty developed and the "Hakka ethnic group" went abroad and became famous all over the world. The Han ethnic group with the greatest influence within the scope.

The Chaozhou people can dominate Hong Kong Island, but their influence around the world cannot be compared to that of the Hakka people. Because the term "Hakka" was originally proposed in the late Qing Dynasty, it is a Han ethnic group that was created to unite the ideology.

The Hakka people have different pronunciations and dialects. In ancient times, each village had the surname of a wealthy family in the north. The Hakka ancestry in a county may include all regions in the north. The dialects speak ancient dialects, and the language system is very mixed.

But "Hakka people" is obviously a more appealing slogan than "Chaozhou people" and "Eight Fujian people" because it is no longer divided by region, but by culture and ethnic origin, and it has achieved the goal of attracting talents. It united people from Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong, and once the slogan was shouted, the Chamber of Commerce in Tianjin was born. Just like Chaoshan businessmen can swallow up the "Chaozhou" and "Shantou" chambers of commerce, the slogan has great significance and has very good political effects.

Even on Hong Kong Island, the Hakka Chamber of Commerce is also a major force.

He Dingxian nodded clearly: "Yiqun's overseas branch still needs to develop. It only relies on a movie theater and a fan business. If it doesn't last long, are you interested in selling arms?"

"Earning more or less is just money."

Jiang Tiansheng nodded and replied: "No problem, He Sheng. As long as the goods can be transported to Nanyang, there will definitely be sales. However, the competition in the Nanyang arms market is also fierce, and the profit is not expected to be too high."

"A rifle costs 600, a pistol costs 300, and bullets are only a dime a shot, so that's the cost price." He Dingxian took a sip of tea and said calmly, each police station made a profit through underwriting through middlemen.

He doesn't believe that the company can still have no customers in Nanyang direct sales?

Jiang Tiansheng had been around overseas and knew the price of Nanyang arms. Hearing this, he couldn't help being surprised: "So cheap?"

"He Sheng, in Nanyang, a pistol costs more than a thousand, and a rifle costs two to three thousand. It's no problem if the price of bullets triples." In the underground arms market, the price of bullets is the cheapest and most stable. .

On the one hand, bullets are fixed consumables, and on the other hand, bullets are easy to manufacture, and many black workshops can also start work. The quality is poor, but it is enough to bring down the market price.

"Are bullets so expensive in Nanyang?" He Dingxian was a little surprised: "It seems that Nanyang is really a powder keg, and arms are in short supply."

"These arms of mine are the standard equipment of the police force. They are basically second-hand goods, but there are also many brand-new ones. The price is the wholesale price. You have to negotiate what kind of goods I am willing to give you." He Dingxian handed over a business card. Give it to Jiang Tiansheng. After Jiang Tiansheng took it, he asked: "Big boss, how will the money be divided?"

"I am Qi San. You can set the specific price, but I want the accounts." As the source of supply, He Dingxian would get 70% more profit, but as the big boss of the society, it was just right.

Moreover, the purchase price is the lowest on the market, giving Yiqun enough room for profit. Jiang Tiansheng immediately agreed: "Okay, Yiqun is ready to purchase a batch of goods."

"The goods that the society needs will be deducted from the accounts." He Dingxian smiled and said: "You can wait until the arms are sold, then deduct them from the accounts and record the cost price."

If Yiqun wanted to open arms sales in Nanyang, they would definitely have to compete with the original arms dealers for the market. During this period, there would be inevitable fights and battles, and naturally there would be a demand for weapons.

Jiang Tiansheng beamed with joy when he saw the big boss being so generous. He leaned over and said, "Thank you, boss."

At eight o'clock in the evening, as soon as he walked out of the apartment building, he went to the phone booth on the roadside, dialed the number on his business card, and rushed to Happy Valley to discuss business overnight.

Three days later, at the Tai Kwun venue, McIntyre awarded the Silver Medal of Valor to He Dingxian, and awarded the Bronze Medal of Valor to Leonardo da Vinci, Gay Beard and others in recognition of the anti-corruption office's outstanding performance in the equipment department corruption case.

Gao Yongsheng, Yan Xiong, A Gui and others sat under the stage, looking at the officers on the podium, all with smiles on their faces.

After the meeting, He Dingxian came to the Inspector's Office of the Crime Unit, had a cup of tea with Brother Sheng, and then left the Tai Kwun.

Regarding the unusual recommendation for him to be promoted to Chief Inspector, McIntosh temporarily suppressed it because the title of Chief Inspector was an important bargaining chip. Since He Dingxian chose money, McIntosh would not easily give him the title of Chief Inspector again. .

He Dingxian didn't have any reaction to this. After all, he had just been promoted to senior inspector. Even if he had made great achievements, he could only say that he had done a good job in the anti-corruption office. It was natural that he would not be promoted from above. After a year and a half, it would be a matter of course. McIntosh He still had to be promoted to Chief Inspector.

He Dingxian has already sat at the card table of Gui Lao's senior management, playing a deck of cards together. After having common interests, he is not considered one of his own, but half of his own!

Gui Lao doesn't like him in his heart, but he still has to follow the rules.

Half a month later, Chiu Fook Teahouse in Central.

Huo Guantai was wearing a brown gown, sitting at the round table, holding up a teacup and sighed: "He Sheng, two days ago, the chief executive of Swire Pacific came to talk to me about business and wanted to buy the land in my hand."

"Are you kidding? We are doing the bidding and reclamation. When the reclamation is almost complete, there are foreign companies that want to come and pick peaches?" He Dingxian put down the tea cup and was very surprised: "Brother Tai, is Taikoo Co., Ltd. very troublesome?"

Reclamation is hard work, and materials and labor are very expensive. Reclamation without development is just a waste of time.

How could the two big bosses agree?

Huo Guantai said: "It's a bit troublesome, but the other party said that if the land is not sold to him, he will not be able to win any bids for reclamation projects in the future."

"Swire Pacific has this capability."

He Dingxian glanced at Huo Guantai and said in a deep voice: "What does HSBC say?"

"HSBC wants me to sell because HSBC's shares in Lixin Real Estate are too low." Huo Guantai glanced at He Dingxian: "They want to force me to increase my shares and increase their shareholding."

He Dingxian suddenly realized that Swire was originally a move by HSBC, but HSBC had previously approved it, and now it was settling old scores. What does it mean?

He Dingxian's pupils suddenly shrank, and he realized one thing: his investment was too big, and the guns of the Anti-Corruption Office could not cover it! He didn't stay in the crime department. The ghost guys who were afraid of him in the past suddenly became brave again!

"TMD, the ghost guys are just trying to trick us." He Dingxian sneered twice and cursed, while Huo Guantai said: "Axian, do you have any solution?"
