Hong Kong Island Old Events

When Jian Baoning walked downstairs, a Mercedes Benz with a police license plate had already parked on the side of the road. He opened the door and got into the back seat, saying with a straight face: "Sir, you are very fast. "

"Don't dare to disturb Sir Jian's return home for dinner." He Dingxian glanced at his watch and told the driver: "Repulse Bay, take Sir Jian home."

Jian Baoning looked at the body that was covered with white cloth and thrown into the street on the roadside. The police team had cordoned off the scene and was about to start cleaning up.

"At the Provisional Government Office, the Governor-General's Commissioner was shot dead in the street."

"Things are not easy to settle."

He Dingxian's expression remained unchanged, he leaned back on the seat and said calmly: "The Governor gritted his teeth and had to swallow his breath. Otherwise, the Chinese police will turn against him, and the British senior officials will also turn against him. To be honest, I really want to see it." Look at this scene.”

The police seized power and took advantage of the Star Ferry incident, while the Governor seized power and expanded the Barton case.

This series of events, one after another, continued into the struggle between British capital and Chinese banks, and a new disciplinary force also emerged.

ICAC!

In fact, Xie Faxin, the anti-corruption commissioner appointed by the Governor, was essentially the first anti-corruption commissioner. The anti-corruption task force was the prototype of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. From the mid-1960s to the 1970s, the reason why it was so Much turmoil.

In the final analysis, it is a confrontation between Chinese and ghosts around economics and politics.

He was immersed in the times and involved in the storm. The deeper he understood, the more he realized that there is no revolution without bloodshed. To change Hong Kong Island from the one decided by the ghosts to the one decided by the Chinese, we cannot just wait for 97. If the Chinese people in Hong Kong don’t work hard, they will be infiltrated into a sieve after 1997.

Since He Dingxian has caused the butterfly effect and made the struggle more fierce, we cannot be afraid.

change!

Go deeper and deeper.

"I feel bad now." Jian Baoning said without any pretense: "Killing the Governor-General Commissioner can be regarded as establishing prestige for the police force, but it has stepped on a political red line. The Governor-General's Office must have deep opinions on me. It’s no fun to keep doing it.”

"I plan to ask the Governor to resign."

He Dingxian was not surprised, but a little regretful: "Just resign."

"Stand down with dignity, retire with honor, and the police fund will pay you a pension."

"Hahaha."

Jian Baoning laughed loudly, paused, and then said: "Finally, what else can I do for you?"

Victoria Peak.

When Bai Liji received the news that Xie Faxin was shot dead in the street, he smashed the report in front of him on the table. His will to fight corruption became more and more determined: "I want to re-appoint a commissioner to continue investigating corruption in the police force!"

Just imagine how the Hong Kong government will react if the anti-corruption commissioner is shot dead in the street. How angry the Chief Executive will be. Bai Liji is just as angry now. Although Xie Faxin is not an anti-corruption commissioner in the legal sense, he is an anti-corruption commissioner in Bai Liji's eyes. The act of shooting someone in the street really touched his bottom line.

He expected that Xie Faxin would encounter retaliation from the police and that the case would be difficult to handle. He even had no intention of letting Xie Faxin really handle the case. But I never expected that the police force would respond so quickly and use such brutal methods. It was as if the police force in Hong Kong went crazy when they said the word "anti-corruption".

Originally, we would investigate Jian Baoning, then go back and forth with the police force, show each other's cards, negotiate terms, and end the investigation when the sincerity is sufficient. By then, the strength of the police force would be preserved, and the face of a former chief would be lost.

As time passed, a wave of bank runs emerged, and the four major foreign banks got the Chinese capital they deserved. The two sides will return to their previous peace and harmony, and then endure for two years, and the governor's term of office will end.

But the police force didn't talk to him at all, didn't play with him, and just flipped the table over when he came up!

Is this okay!

Assistant Chief Secretary He Yining looked cautious and reminded carefully: "Sir, three of the thirty anti-corruption team members died. The remaining twelve reported and hoped to be transferred back to the original department. The rest may also be transferred to the original department. Terrified."

"The investigation team is already overwhelmed and needs to be redeployed and trained."

Bai Liji heard that the Chief Secretary for Administration was reminding him that he was not strong enough and well prepared, so he had no leverage to fight with the police again.

"I know."

"However, the anti-corruption task force cannot be disbanded. It must be developed into a permanent organization." He was not prepared to merge with the police force from the beginning. He seized the opportunity to strike ruthlessly at others. Naturally, he could not raise funds in a short time to defeat him. Produce reliable power.

But the conflict has intensified, and he no longer thinks about short-term matters, but plans for the long-term.

This is also a negative impact of being ruthless, but if this negative impact will occur sooner or later, it is almost equal to no impact.

Bai Liji said: "Deploy fifty young staff from various government agencies and send them to the Military Intelligence Department for formal training, and then select a new group of capable officials. I will personally select the next anti-corruption commissioner."

"At the same time, the previous deputy team leader will be appointed as the acting team leader. The commissioner will not be granted privileges for the time being. He will be responsible for managing the anti-corruption task force."

He Yining could clearly hear Bai Liji's distaste for the interest groups in the police force. He had already smelled the change in the political winds, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

"Yes, sir!"

"The investigation about Jian Baoning should not be suspended yet, but there should be no further hearings. I signed a property freezing folder and took it to the bank and the Commercial Department to freeze all assets under Jian Baoning's personal name." Bai Liji He went back to his desk, opened the drawer, and took out a signed document.

The document that was supposed to be handed over to Xie Faxin could only be handed over to the Chief Secretary for execution.

"Have a good funeral for Sir."

Bai Liji said.

"Please rest assured, sir." He Yining gave a long bow, turned around and left with the documents.

British senior officials such as Ge Bai, Kunxian, Shi Keming, Hao Defu, and even the retired Yifu were greatly relieved when they received the news of Xie Faxin's death in their mansions and villas. Regardless of whether the Governor has any other options, after this shot is fired, the Chinese will take care of the rest.

They had one foot out, and the situation was great.

If they can't celebrate publicly as police officers, they all want to hold a banquet, exchange glasses of wine, and thank Sir He properly.

The superintendents at the constitutional committee level and the middle-level ghost guys in each police station received calls from their superiors one after another, and they immediately calmed down after hearing the news. In the morning, people were still panicking because of the news that the former director was under investigation. But in the evening, people were already calm.

Who would be afraid of a dead man?

Since there is no need to fear the dead, then what is there to be afraid of?

The worst case scenario would be to make them all dead.

Until an influential senior official is actually convicted of corruption, no one will think that anti-corruption investigations are a threat. Inspector Hua, the head of the operations department of each district police station of the police force, After receiving the news also settled down.

Although the Chinese police officers have not said a word or met once since the incident in the morning, it does not mean that they do not exist. For many things, the Chinese prefer to wait and see, keeping silent and watching with their eyes.

If you ignore them because they don't speak, then they will definitely remind you at a critical moment, thinking about why there are still such a group of people, and regretting how you dare to forget such a group of people.

After He Dingxian finished his police affairs, he sent Sir Kin home and then drove back to Wyndham Street. When a police game occurred, the financial market was not idle either. First, there were runs on Hang Seng and Bank of East Asia, and they were expanding step by step.

As a result, the cash pools of Hang Seng and East Asia Bank are declining rapidly. Not only can they no longer undertake the task of rescuing the market, they may also need merchants to provide blood transfusions to the two banks. Fortunately, thanks to the powerful rescue efforts of the Chamber of Commerce, the run crisis was much smaller than in history.

It did not take a few days to convert Hang Seng to the point of selling its shares. In particular, Chinese-funded banks paid to acquire Guangdong Trust, and the positive feedback was extremely strong. Mainly because the three banks acted like they were wealthy and had inexhaustible money, which gave bosses and merchants a sense of trust. In the midst of this kind of bank run, they were willing to spend more than 200 million to acquire an insolvent bank. It was impossible to do so without sufficient funds.

Once trust is generated, the bank run crisis begins to diminish until the banking industry returns to normal order. It can be said that now is the night before dawn, the darkest time is about to pass, and then it is time for the sun to rise, the sun is high in the sky, and it is time to fight back.

Of course, the whole process requires a period of relaxation. Runs and trust are born at the same time. The longer Chinese-owned banks last, the more trust will come back.

"It has been 24 hours since any Chinese bank went bankrupt."

He Dingxian was sitting at home, drinking bird's nest cooked by his wife, holding a report in his hand: "As long as no more banks go bankrupt, one week will be enough to get through the crisis. Forty-eight hours from now, the amount of runs every day should decrease exponentially." .”

Chu Yunnan was wearing a nightgown, sitting opposite, and asked with concern: "Can you breathe a sigh of relief?"

"I am relieved for the Chinese bosses. As for me, I have never been scared of ghosts." He Dingxian confidently put down his report and concentrated on eating bird's nest. He also had some free time to start admiring his wife's natural beauty.

When people have troubles, it is easy to ignore the beauty around them. Once the mood is good, everything is interesting.

Chu Yunnan waited until her husband finished eating the bird's nest, then picked up the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the sink and turned on the faucet. As soon as she wiped a bowl, she noticed a strong-blooded dragon's head rising up, pretending to be dripping in the sink. I spit, but my heart was filled with anticipation, and I secretly rejoiced.

He Dingxian held her waist, laid her upper body down, lifted up the silk on the partition, and taught his wife how to wash the dishes step by step. The whole process is explained in a simple and easy-to-understand manner.

the next day.

Early in the morning.

He Dingxian received a call from Li Guanchun of the Bank of East Asia. Boss Li made a long story short and intended to borrow 100 million funds for use.

"At nine o'clock in the morning, go to the Oriental Bank store in Wan Chai to collect the money."

After finishing his breakfast, he stood by the landscape glass in the lobby of the villa, looking at the lush bonsai in the garden, and exhaled: "I will tell Ah Geng to prepare it for you in advance."

"Thank you He Sheng."

Li Chunguan sounded grateful and respectful.

"It's nothing. We are all directors of the Chamber of Commerce. We share the same difficulties, so naturally we have to help." He Dingxian put the cigarette in his mouth: "Okay, let's not say more. I am rushing to go to work and need money."

"I must feed you!"
