Hong Kong Island Old Events

"Well done, why do you want to resign?" Chen Li didn't even bother to read the resignation report. He stood up and took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Minghua: "I'm planning to promote you."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Lu Minghua took the cigarette and said proudly: "The dog skin of the Royal Police is not comfortable for me to wear."

"Um?"

Chen Li's eyes were astonished and he lit a cigarette for him: "You're just here to make a living. Why are you so arrogant and looking down on the entire Hong Kong police force?"

"If no one becomes a police officer, I would like to become a police officer. If becoming a police officer is just for a living, I don't want to." Lu Minghua said: "When I was admitted to the police force, I hoped to contribute to social security and change the third-class Chinese in the market. The current situation of first-class ghosts, collusion between black and white, and collusion between officials and businessmen, it’s a pity that I can’t do it, Uncle Li.”

“In the past, the police force wore the license plate of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and I could comfort myself that I was working hard for the city. Now, the police force has the license plate of the Royal Police Force. It reminds me all the time that I am a police officer. The ruling third class!”

"I am proud to be a dog for the colonists to survive!"

Chen Li smiled kindly, nodded in approval and said, "You have backbone!"

Lu Minghua took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the table: "Uncle Li, this is the fee I received in three years, 32,000 yuan. I'm sorry that I failed to live up to your expectations. Thank you for treating me these years." of care.”

"Wazai will keep it in mind."

Chen Li checked the cigarette ashes, tapped the envelope twice with his fingers, and sighed: "If you want to realize your ideal, it's wrong to come to the police force. After all, even I, the anti-corruption superintendent, only pay monthly, and the cases I investigate are all political." Fight, retaliate.”

"But what will you eat after leaving the police force?"

"It's hard to have a job that earns so much and has a gun. No one dares to bully you." In addition to monetary benefits, hidden benefits are also indispensable for police officers. Just walking on the street with a gun does not mean much. same.

"I want to be a lawyer."

Lu Minghua said: "Use the law as a weapon to change the world!"

Chen Lip sipped his cigarette, one puff after another, staring at Lu Minghua: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"hehe."

Lu Minghua smiled softly, understood the meaning of Chen Li's words, and explained: "Uncle Li, how dare I come into contact with the police force? It's not that I have never been in the police force. It's just that I want to use my identity as a lawyer to enter politics. For Chinese people, lawyers are the profession where they can accumulate prestige and fame the fastest."

"If I have the opportunity to work on a few big cases and then get admitted to the Third Division as a political officer, I think I will also have the opportunity to change Hong Kong Island!"

Chen Li narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to have a sparkle, and began to respect Lu Minghua's ideas.

"good."

Chen Li picked up the envelope on the table, put it into the drawer, and said aloud: "I accepted the money so that you have no worries. However, if you take this banknote, it means that I support the ideals of young people. As long as you don't forget , you came out of the police force."

Lu Minghua is not a person who hates evil. If he couldn't stand a little darkness in the world, he wouldn't have stayed in the police force for three years. But Lu Minghua is obviously a smart, daring, and ambitious young man. The police force with the title will not have much room for development politically. Simply change the track. Not only will the ideas be clear, but it will also be more promising.

Of course, it’s more difficult to be a lawyer, and you won’t make as much money as a lawyer at the beginning.

Lu Minghua didn't hesitate, stepped forward to take the banknote, stood at attention and saluted: "Thank you, sir!"

"Pack your things."

"Get off work."

Chen Li waved his hand, and after Lu Minghua turned to leave, he cursed quietly: "You bastard!"

"He's a careerist again."

He had encountered this kind of person in the police force ten years ago, and it would not be surprising to meet him again. However, Lu Minghua's conditions are much better than those of the handsome boy ten years ago. He may have a chance to make a career in politics, but young people don't understand how important it is to have a gun!

"You choose your own path, just walk on your own." He signed the document and submitted it to the Human Resources Office for approval. When he was putting down the pen, he saw a stack of business cards, which contained the contact information of Chaoshan barrister Luo Wenjin.

Chen Li had an idea for a moment, but finally shook his head: "The icing on the cake is not as good as giving someone timely help. If you don't let that brat hit his head and bleed, how can he remember the favor?"

"Not urgent."

Office of the Assistant Commissioner.

"Boss."

Lei Luo pushed the door open and shouted, "What do you want me to do?"

"Can I ask you to come sit down if you have nothing to do? Mr. Lei." He Dingxian stood up from the desk with a smile, went to the reception area and picked up the kettle: "What do you want to drink?"

"Just cold water."

Lei Luo smiled bitterly and said: "I drank too much in the past two days and my mouth is dry. I haven't regained my strength."

"Wouldn't it affect catching the thief?"

He Dingxian poured a glass of cold water, and Lei Luo shook his head: "No, a major case was just handled in West Kowloon yesterday. A batch of black powder was found in Mong Kok, suspected to be used by rioters to make explosives. Three mainland Chinese were arrested on the spot. personnel, an agent destroyed the explosive harmlessly."

"I heard about it."

Ho Dingxian nodded: "Three buildings were blown up. Fortunately, no citizens were injured or injured. However, Kowloon District is facing a lawsuit for property compensation of 60,000 Hong Kong dollars."

"Well, it's just a small amount of money." Lei Luo laughed dumbly: "I paid it out of my own pocket. I didn't expect that I can't hide anything from the big boss."

"Chen Jiaju must have done it."

He Dingxian asked with great interest: "One of your squad leaders from West Kowloon."

"Boss, you're right even with Ah Ju. They were the ones you went to the police academy to get the title in that period." Lei Luo came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Chen Jiaju happened to pass by during patrol, and he only brought It’s not easy for two men to take down this case.”

"In other words, he also has a dog's nose and can smell even the slightest smell of gunpowder."

He Dingxian could hear the admiration in his tone. He worked in the disciplinary force, dared to fight hard, and had the ability to deal with others. He was obviously more popular with his superiors. All superiors hope that their subordinates will have high force value and that they will be available when needed.

In contrast, if a little trouble arises, it won't hurt if the boss can handle it. Especially in the pre-restructuring stage of the police force. However, whether you can be promoted is another matter. Lei Luo has actually transferred Chen Jiaju to his side as his direct team leader.

"That can be considered a surprise. Hand in the closing report and Sir Ge will give you a reward." He Dingxian smiled and said: "I asked you to come here to talk about the candidate for the New Territories Chief Inspector. Next week, the New Territories District will It needs to be officially listed.”

"The office of Inspector General Hua will be located in Tsuen Wan. Who do you plan to appoint?"

Lei Luo took a sip of water, put down the cup, and said without thinking, "Sir Zeng."

"No problem." He Dingxian knew that Lei Luo would definitely find positions for his two sworn brothers Zeng Shaoke and Cai Zhaoguang first. Although he had wanted to bring them to work in Taiguan before, Zeng Shaoke and Cai Zhaoguang secretly Express refusal.

After all, being in Tai Kwun is not as comfortable as being in charge of a district alone, unless you can be promoted to superintendent.

As the eldest brother among the sworn brothers, He Dingxian had no reason to stop his brother from being transferred to another post. He readily agreed: "Tomorrow, the Director will issue an appointment order and transfer Sir Zeng to the New Territories."

"Thank you, boss."

Lei Luo looked happy: "The New Territories is a big area after all. It is better for our brothers to manage it than to leave it to the younger ones."

"Um."

"If you need any help, ask Sir Zeng to report at any time. Funds, equipment, whatever can be approved will be approved." He Dingxian said cautiously: "The New Territories is a restless place after all, so you must be careful when doing things."

"We understand."

Lei Luo agreed wholeheartedly.

"Pray sir, Standard Chartered Bank suffered heavy losses in the June 7th stock market crash, up to 200 million Hong Kong dollars." Charity, the chief executive of Standard Chartered, said with a sad face, "The head office has planned to replace the chief executive to take over my position."

Qi Yaolin held up the red wine glass and said bitterly: "HSBC also lost too much blood. In a short period of time, it can't even raise its stock price. Not only did it sit back and watch several large British-owned companies fall into the hands of the Chinese, but even Wharf suffered Hostile takeover.”

Fortunately, HSBC has maintained a number of Chinese-owned factories, and in the process of growing Chinese-owned enterprises, some carrion was picked up.

Swire Taipei Sassoon sighed: "The style of Baisir is too weak. With the economic development to this day, British capital has not grown stronger, but Chinese capital has become stronger day by day. The reason why Chinese capital can use the June 7th Incident to create a stock market crash and harvest British capital is The essence is that the Governor has insufficient control over the executive branch.”

Charlie nodded, already filled with resentment, and said: "I will report to the head office when I return to London, put pressure on the Colonial Department, and let my family replace a strong governor to serve in Hong Kong."

Due to the large-scale use of foreign companies to develop colonies and pump out water for the economy, the Colonial Office has been controlled by foreign companies since ancient times. It is not unreasonable to change the governor. But Qi Yaolin knew that Bai Liji had just put down the Tiananmen Incident, and his family would definitely want to reward him, not punish him. You must know that in the eyes of the ancestors, the June 7th Incident was not caused by the economy, but was a deliberate provocation from the north. One thing can be drawn from personal experience and from a macro perspective, and two different conclusions can be drawn.

Just the series of chain reactions leading up to the June 7th incident were enough for the Colonial Department to write more than a dozen academic papers. How could they be seen through by the superior ministers at a glance? Moreover, as a qualified political figure, Bai Liji is responsible for all personal behaviors for political goals.

He is not loud and strong, not because he is not angry, but because the environment does not allow him to be strong. But Qi Yaolin did not refute Charlie's words, and even expressed support, saying that HSBC would also respond to the head office.

Because replacing the governor is not the purpose, as long as it can put pressure on the governor and force the governor to be more aggressive in administration, which is in line with the development strategy of the foreign company. Even if the governor's administrative method is the most beneficial to federal colonization, in a capitalist society, capital and government are separated. The two do not pursue common goals, but only pursue their own interests.

Why not fight an economic war but a political war? Because if you can’t win politically, you are bound to lose economically!

One month later.

Victoria Peak.

After answering the call from the Colonial Secretary, Bai Liji sighed, turned around and said, "At seven o'clock in the evening, I will invite the general managers of the four major foreign banks to have dinner together at the hotel."

"Yes, sir!"
