History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 229 Picking Peaches

The criminal team collected the corpses without waiting for the anti-corruption office to go downstairs, and then collected the corpses and sent them to the mortuary.

He Dingxian then handed over the gun to the forensics department, which issued a fire report, and then went to the equipment department to sign and receive a new gun.

Even if the case is over, he commits suicide in fear of crime, shoots and wounds a policeman, embezzles and corrupts, and someone has been charged for a pile of crimes.

Although a dead man.

In the evening of the same day, "Ta Kung Pao", "Police News", "Oriental Evening News" and other newspapers published the "Wan Chai Equipment Division Corruption Case", and immediately announced the police's thunderous tactics to the public. , I can't help but be awed by the toughness of the anti-corruption room.

In fact, the public knows that the police force is scapegoating. The public understands that the police officer who jumped to his death was coerced, so what?What the citizens want is an explanation!If you make a mistake, admit it!Why should citizens be punished for breaking the law, while bureaucrats can cover each other for committing crimes?

No matter how powerful you are, you have to push someone out to carry it!
The eyes of the people are sharp. Sometimes they don’t speak, but 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 and close one eye.

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

As for Duan Jerry, a dignified deputy director, who was shot dead in public?This is a trivial matter in politics, and it is not worth investigating. Will the dead still go to court to sue?

night.

He Dingxian sat in the living room at home, brewing tea, and said, "Tiansheng, how about foreign arms?"

Jiang Tiansheng was wearing a suit, sitting next to him, took the teacup respectfully with both hands, looked up at the boss, weighed in and said: "The arms business in Southeast Asia has always been very prosperous, especially in Southeast Asia, Nanyang and other places."

"The people there are either fighting for territory, fighting for territory, or thinking about independence and fighting for power. The price is much more expensive than Hong Kong Island."

He thought back to the newspapers of the past two days, and wondered secretly, wouldn't the big boss even take a share of the ghost's job?You know, the Wanchai Police Station where the incident happened is the site of the big boss, and the anti-corruption office is even under the boss's subordinates. Combined with the big boss asking about the arms business, some answers are self-evident.

Jiang Tiansheng noticed that the big boss' eyes were on him, and quickly lowered his head to drink his tea, not daring to think about it.

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

Jiang Tiansheng replied: "Thanks to the big boss, there is an international theater chain that has started construction. The brothers live a good life in Nanyang. They have jobs during the day and work at night. They have land and business. They are safe and secure."

It is the difference between heaven and earth whether the community has a company or a site to start construction.

He Dingxian also picked up his teacup and took a sip: "How many people are there abroad?"

"More than 200."

Jiang Tiansheng reported a small number, but specifically pointed out: "These more than 200 people have developed in Hong Kong Island, and they all dare to fight. bump."

"Are there many associations in Nanyang?" He Dingxian didn't understand, but Jiang Tiansheng said: "Just like Hong Kong Island, there are various fellowship associations, but the Minziqi is the most powerful, followed by the Hakka Chamber of Commerce, which has Minziqi, Chaozhou, and Meizhou. , Ganzhou and other forces."

The Hakka Chamber of Commerce is actually a Hakka chamber of commerce. The Hakka is an ethnic group distributed in the three provinces of western Fujian, eastern Guangdong, and Ganzhou. The three river systems of Tingzhou and Meizhou were the fulcrums, and the Han nationality developed and lived in the three nearby plains. The main sites were Ganzhou, Tingzhou (now Longyan and Sanming, Fujian), Meizhou, Huizhou, and Shencheng.

Although the cause of the Han nationality's southward journey this time was the defeat of the Song Dynasty, they not only developed the south in the later period, but also quietly boarded the train of shipping culture, which led to the economic development of the Southern Song Dynasty and made the "Hakka ethnic group" go abroad and become a popular culture in the world. One of the most influential Han ethnic groups within the scope.

The Teochew people can dominate Hong Kong Island, but in the world, their influence is not comparable to that of the Hakka people.Because the word "Hakka" was originally proposed in the late Qing Dynasty, it is a Han ethnic group created to unite ideology.

The Hakka people have different sounds for ten miles and different dialects for hundreds of miles. In ancient times, each village was a wealthy surname in the north. The Hakka lineage in a county may include all regions in the north. The dialect speaks ancient words, and the language system is very mixed.

But "Hakkas" is obviously a more appealing slogan than "Chaozhou people" and "Bamin people", because it is no longer divided by region, but by culture and ethnicity, so that it can recruit talented people. Unite people from Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong, and once the slogan is shouted, the Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce is born to climax.Just like Chaoshan merchants can swallow the "Chaozhou" and "Shantou" chambers of commerce, the slogan has great significance and has a very good political effect.

On Hong Kong Island, the Hakka Chamber of Commerce is also a big force.

He Dingxian nodded knowingly: "Yiqun's overseas branch still needs to develop. It won't last long with just a movie theater and a fan business. Are you interested in selling arms?"

"Earning more and earning less is all about earning."

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

"A rifle costs [-] yuan, a pistol costs [-] yuan, and bullets cost only [-] cents a round. That's the cost price." He Dingxian took a sip of tea and said calmly. All the police stations made money through the underwriting of middlemen.

He doesn't believe that the company can still have no customers in Nanyang direct sales?
Jiang Tiansheng knew the price of Nanyang munitions because he had been overseas, so he couldn't help being stunned: "So cheap?"

"He Sheng, in Nanyang, a pistol costs more than 1000 yuan, and a rifle costs two to three thousand yuan. It is no problem to triple the price of bullets." In the underground arms market, the price of bullets is the cheapest and most stable.

On the one hand, bullets are fixed consumables. On the other hand, bullets are easy to manufacture, and many black workshops can also start construction. 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 ammunition is in short supply."

"My ammunition is the standard equipment of the police force. They are basically second-hand goods, but there are also many brand-new ones. The prices are wholesale prices. You have to discuss what you are willing to match." He Dingxian handed over a businessman's business card. Give it to Jiang Tiansheng. After Jiang Tiansheng took it, he asked, "Boss, how do you divide the money?"

"I'll give you [-]% and [-]%. You can come up with the specific pricing, but I need an account." As a source of supply, He Dingxian gets [-]% of the profit, which is much more, but as the big boss of the club, it's just right.

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

"The goods that the club needs will be charged to the account." He Dingxian said with a smile: "You can wait until the arms are sold out, then deduct from the account, and record the cost price."

If Yiqun wants to open up the arms market in Nanyang, he must compete with the original arms dealers. Rush and fights are inevitable during this period, so there is naturally a demand for weapons.

Seeing that the big boss is so generous, Jiang Tiansheng showed joy, 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 telephone booth on the side of the road, dialed the number on his business card, and rushed to Happy Valley overnight to discuss business.

Three days later, at the Tai Kwun venue, Michael McIntosh awarded He Dingxian the Silver Medal of Courage, and the Bronze Medal of Courage to Da Vinci, Ji Laoxu and others in recognition of the Anti-Corruption Office's outstanding performance in the corruption case of the Equipment Division.

Gao Yongsheng, Yan Xiong, Agui and others sat under the stage, looking at the chief on the stage with smiles all over their faces.

After the meeting, He Dingxian came to the Inspector's Office of the Serious Crime Squad and had a cup of tea with Brother Sheng before leaving Tai Kwun.

Regarding the matter of exceptionally recommending him to be promoted to Chief Inspector, Mai Jingtao temporarily suppressed it, because the rank of Chief Inspector is an important bargaining chip. Since He Dingxian chose money, Mai Jingtao would not easily give him the rank of Chief Inspector .

He Dingxian had no reaction to this. After all, he had just been promoted to senior inspector not long ago. Even if he made great contributions, he could only say that he had done a good job in the anti-corruption room. Still had to promote him to Chief Inspector.

He Dingxian has already sat at the poker table of Guilao's high-level executives and played a deck of cards together. After having a common interest, he is not counted as his own, but also half of his own!
Guilao doesn't like him in his heart, but he has to follow the rules.

Half a month later, in Central, Chaofu Tea House.

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

"Are you kidding? We do the bidding and land reclamation. The sea reclamation is almost done, and there is a foreign company who wants to pick peaches?" He Dingxian put down the tea cup, very surprised: "Brother Tai, is Taikoo foreign company troublesome!"

Sea reclamation is hard work, and materials and labor are very expensive. Only reclamation, without development, is nothing but white labor for people.

How could the two big bosses agree?
Huo Guantai said: "It's a little troublesome, but the other party said that if the land is not sold to him, he will not even want to get a single bid for the reclamation project in the future."

"Swire Pacific has this ability."

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

"HSBC means to let me sell, because HSBC's shares in Lixin Land are too low." Huo Guantai glanced at He Dingxian: "They want to force me to increase their shares and increase their shareholding."

He Dingxian suddenly realized that Taikoo was originally a move by HSBC, but HSBC recognized it before, and now it is overturning the old account. What does it mean?
He Dingxian's pupils shrank suddenly, realizing one thing, his own investment was too large, and the guns of the anti-corruption room alone couldn't cover it!He didn't stay in the serious crime team, and the ghosts who were afraid of him before suddenly became courageous again!

"Damn, the ghost thinks we're making mud." He Dingxian sneered twice and cursed, while Huo Guantai said: "Axian, do you have a solution?"
