Hong Kong Island Old Events

"What should we do with Oriental Bank?" As the lowest-status worker present, Lane asked the most critical question: "He Dingxian is the boss of Oriental Bank. Most of the bank's shareholders are senior police officers, from British police officers to Chinese police officers."

"They are not going to sit back and let a banking crisis happen."

"Moreover, all the black money embezzled by the police force flows to Oriental Bank. No one knows how much money is in Oriental Bank's vault."

As a foreign student who had also been educated by Sir He, Xuansha nodded with deep understanding and said: "Oriental Bank not only has money, but also guns. He Dingxian is not only the big boss of the Guangdong Provincial United Chamber of Commerce, but also a high-ranking member of the police force."

"Oriental Bank was the first to invest in the real estate industry and has already made money. Its investment style is relatively conservative."

"The capital pool is probably very deep."

Qi Yaolin nodded and said: "Yes, the financial war against the Chinese banking industry, in the end, was actually fought against Hang Seng and Oriental Bank."

"As the leader of Chinese-owned banks, Oriental Bank will definitely not sit idly by, but financial wars are wars without gunpowder. It breaks out silently in the flow of money. Even if He Dingxian wants to find someone to take revenge."

"Who else can I find?"

This is a real commercial war, and relying on force can only further amplify the panic of savers.

"Politically, the higher-ups will also give us cover."

"I have communicated with the Monetary Authority."

Renn breathed a sigh of relief: "In this case, Wharf can initiate a squeeze at any time."

"In this case, I will wait for the market conditions when the Hang Seng Index plummets and Chinese banks are in crisis across the board." Madden raised his glass, smiled, and saluted the four of them: "Cheers, gentlemen."

He is ready to buy the dip.

"cheers."

"cheers!"

Tai Kwun.

"Ding ding ding."

The phone rings.

He Dingxian was wearing a uniform, holding a pen, and was processing official documents. Suddenly he heard the phone ringing, picked it up and asked: "Setting on the side?"

"Axian."

"A commissioner appointed by the Governor's Office came to the Anti-Corruption Office and asked to dispatch ten agents to do the work." Chen Li held the phone in his hand and glanced at a ghost man in the office area through a glass window. Although he was hiding in the office of the Anti-Corruption Superintendent of Tai Kwun, as the top three figure in the Anti-Corruption Office, it was impossible for the news within the department to be hidden from him.

The white-skinned ghost guy wearing a black suit, shiny leather shoes, and a capable demeanor is communicating with Hao Defu, chief superintendent of the Anti-Corruption Office.

After reading the document, Hao Defu called to confirm that it was the document number of the Governor's Mansion. With a smile on his face, he was very attentive in selecting agents with the Governor's Commissioner. Chen Li was very sensitive to the developments in the Governor's Mansion and would call Sir He whenever something went wrong.

He Dingxian also felt his heart skip a beat, feeling that things were not simple.

The appointment of Governor-General and Commissioner is a very provocative appointment, not to mention being linked to the Anti-Corruption Office, which is really fascinating.

"Master."

"Keep an eye on it."

He asked in a deep voice and added: "I will ask Sir Hao to come to the office to meet me later."

"good."

After Chen Li finished answering, he hung up the phone, held a cigarette in his mouth, stood in front of the glass window, exhaled the smoke, and looked out the window calmly. The Governor-General and Commissioner outside the window also saw him and smiled very politely. Hao Defu introduced to the commissioner: "Sir Xie, that is Sir Chen, the Superintendent of the Anti-Corruption Office. He was just awarded the Gold Medal of Valor by the police force some time ago."

"I know."

"He single-handedly handled the corruption case of the Deputy Director of Operations." Xie Faxin is an arrogant ghost with a mustache, deep forehead lines, fox-like eyes.

Twenty minutes later.

Xie Faxin removed ten agents and went to work.

Half an hour later.

Hao Defu and Chen immediately appeared in the office of the Assistant Director of Hong Kong Island District.

He Dingxian, wearing uniform, helped the two of them get the water, put the cups on the table, sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, leaned his right arm on the sofa and asked, "Where is that Governor-General Commissioner?"

"Former Chief of Government Affairs of the Governor-General's Office, now an official of the Financial Secretary, Legislator Xie Faxin." Hao Defu said in detail: "During World War II, he served in the Army and obtained the rank of second lieutenant. After the war, he served as a political affairs officer in Africa. Both parents are doctors of medicine. My family has been practicing medicine for generations.”

"Graduated from Cambridge University with a postgraduate degree."

He Dingxian was surprised and said: "He is a talent."

Hao Defu nodded: "He has also served as the manager of a steel plant. He knows a lot about economics and is very valued in the Secretary for Civil Affairs."

He Dingxian had an ominous premonition in his heart, and he asked very vigilantly: "What will we allocate manpower to?"

"for sure."

"It's about political cleansing."

Hao Defu said: "Only the Anti-Corruption Office in Hong Kong has the qualifications to investigate corruption crimes. As long as the police force does not take the initiative, even if the Governor wants to investigate a person for corruption, he must use the legal power of the police force to convict him. Sir Bai appointed a commissioner to When the anti-corruption office works, there is a high probability that they don’t trust the police force.”

The authority of the governor-general and the emperor is demonstrated here. He can appoint commissioners to the disciplinary forces and administrative departments at any time, and transfer manpower to borrow power. Of course, this is the simplest and easiest way. The more complicated method is to pass legislation and establish a new department.

All positions with the title of commissioner, even temporary positions, have the right to report directly to the Governor and are not subject to the jurisdiction of any department.

Commonly known as the imperial minister.

"The powers of the anti-corruption office are limited to investigating disciplinary forces or commercial crimes, and do not involve government offices in the administrative department." He Dingxian's expression was indifferent, but alarm bells were ringing in his heart: "Could it be that the wind of the integrity storm has begun to blow?"

"This is five years ahead of schedule."

Bai Liji doesn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to initiate a political struggle. The current situation is not necessarily a good opportunity to use the police force.

However, the general situation is certainly of reference value, but people often do not act logically and rigidly. History is full of coincidences, and politics is all gambling. Storytelling must be precise and logical, but in reality there is no code of conduct at all.

Even though He Dingxian felt very surprised, he had to brace himself and be prepared to face the storm and fight fiercely.

The storm is coming faster and faster.

The wind is getting stronger!

He turned his eyes to Chen Li on his left. Chen Li put down the water glass and said warmly: "Don't worry."

"The nail has been driven in."

He Dingxian nodded: "Okay."

"At least we have to figure out what they want to do so that we can make preparations one by one. It is best not to touch the people in the police force and live in peace, otherwise Bai Liji's end will be even more pitiful than Ge Hongliang's."

"This is our future office. You will all need to spend time here for at least two months." Xie Faxin locked the iron door, walked to a desk, picked up a stack of white paper, and turned around to distribute it to the desk. Looking at the ten anti-corruption police officers who were listening to the order, he would stop for a moment and look directly at the police officer's face every time he came. "During the mission, there will be a special person delivering food, and a special person will wash the clothes. Any You are not allowed to go out at will, and you are not allowed to disclose the contents of your mission to outsiders, otherwise, you will all be prosecuted for the crime of leaking secrets and dereliction of duty."

A trace of uneasiness clearly flashed across the faces of the police officers, and after receiving the white paper, their movements became a little awkward.

Xie Faxin ignored it and continued: "The ten tables below are your desks. Choose any table and sit down. First, write down the details about the corruption case of Deputy Director of Operations Barton. No matter how much you know, all of them Write it down."

"The only thing you have to think about is the details, and the only thing you have to do is record the details! You don't need to be responsible for the rest. If the final execution goes smoothly, the Governor's Mansion will directly sign your commendation order."

"The most important thing in Hong Kong Island is to serve the Governor, do you understand?" He yelled, and the police officers present were shocked, and they all shouted: "Understood!"

It has to be said that when working in a closed space, people's behavior is extremely easy to be manipulated.

Just like brainwashing by a pyramid scheme, authority will be infinitely amplified. If a wrong fact is repeated a hundred or a thousand times, it may tamper with people's perception. After finishing the training, Xie Faxin did not leave the office immediately. Instead, he sat on a chair and personally supervised the police officers as they wrote out the details.

The police officers all knew that the deputy director's corruption case was very sensitive, but under the intimidation of the commissioner, they had to stop. Xie Faxin was dissatisfied with everything he wrote at the beginning. After several days and more than ten days of scolding and rewriting, the police officers were tortured to the point of going crazy. They kept scratching their heads and thinking hard, picking out little details, and even adding their own imagination.

Although Xie Faxin was dissatisfied with what the police officers wrote, he still accepted every document as ordered, and a box of documents would be transported away every day and handed over to his subordinates for archiving and later use for intelligence analysis. When the police officers were in pain, the only solace was that the food was exquisite, with big fish and meat, and the dishes were different every day.

Every now and then, Gui Lao would treat them to afternoon tea.

The entire office was rented as a temporary office in a factory building on the first floor. Not only is the location spacious, but each person also has a separate room to rest. In addition to bed cabinets, the room is also equipped with a TV and radio, so he can get off work on time.

The police officers could not do anything under this kind of treatment. They could only endure the hours and gather together to play cards and discuss what they wrote with each other as soon as they got off work.

"No news yet?" Half a month later, He Dingxian sat in the office, lit a cigarette, and stared at Hao Defu. Hao Defu had been promoted to the head of the anti-corruption office many years ago. But because the anti-corruption office is an offending job with a very hard ceiling, I have not been able to get promoted for many years.

After all, the next level up from chief superintendent to director level is the division director level. Most people do not make great contributions in politics, so it is difficult to cross this threshold. He also wants to work hard to show his performance through some things, hoping to be valued by Sir He and jump out of the anti-corruption office in the future.

At this time, he saw Sir He's sharp eyes sweeping over him, and he felt a little guilty in his heart. He said: "It has been determined that the agents transferred out are working on the third floor of Fengsheng Building in Wan Chai District, but the police officers have been isolated in the building. Here, the only times we go out are in small groups, led by the Governor-General himself.”

"I don't go out to do anything, but to go shopping and enjoy the scenery. It's hard to get useful information."

When He Dingxian heard this, he was not anxious or annoyed, and just said: "The person named Xie is really a bit like the Military Intelligence Agency. I know he is an officer of the Financial Secretary. I don't know. I thought he was some kind of agent and would do this to me? "

"Set fire to force people out."

He Dingxian picked up a bag of tea, opened it with scissors, and slowly poured it into the mouth of the pot.

Hao Defu's heart trembled, and he solemnly agreed: "Yes!"

"Sir!"
