Hong Kong General: The Departed? No, I am the Hong Kong Island Tyrant

Chapter 212 Contracting the demolition and reconstruction project of Kowloon Walled City!
The night passed in a hurry.

The Kowloon Walled City was in turmoil all night, and the Serious Crime Squad and the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau stayed outside the Walled City all night.

At this time, it was daybreak.

Except for a few reporters from newspapers and TV stations who were still waiting outside the cordon, the rest of the citizens who came to watch the excitement had almost dispersed.

The citizens came to see whether the police would attack the walled city, but they waited until the second half of the night and the police did not start any action. It seemed that there was nothing exciting to watch, so they naturally dispersed.

But every reporter is still very excited until now.

Because throughout the night, several wanted criminals were sent out of the city from time to time by "enthusiastic citizens" of the Qinglong Group, and then their identities were confirmed by the police and they were taken into the car and taken away.

Up to now, the police force has arrested more than one hundred people, all of whom have been confirmed to be criminals on the wanted list.

The police have become tired of arresting so many people.

But now reporters have also discovered something is wrong.

If you catch one or two you could call it a coincidence, but catching hundreds of wanted criminals in one night is problematic no matter how you look at it.

Moreover, the "enthusiastic citizens" who arrested people were all security personnel of Qinglong Group.

At this point, even a fool could guess that what happened last night must be related to the Qinglong Group.

But the police refused to be interviewed and did not make any explanation to the public. They had no choice but to wait and wait for news.

It’s such a big thing, if they don’t bring back big news, it would be a shame for them to stay here all night.

The police officers who were on duty and arresting people also gradually became numb from the initial excitement and excitement.

Anyway, they only need to guard at each entrance and wait for the "enthusiastic citizens" of the Qinglong Group to send people out. They will then take over, confirm, and send them to the car. It is a seamless connection and they don't need to spend any effort at all. The credit is in their hands.

It’s easy, but there’s no sense of accomplishment.

Many policemen had been up all night and were yawning and looking listless, which looked quite strange.

"Ding ding ding..." At this moment, a rapid cell phone ring suddenly rang.

Next to a speeding car, Lu Qichang casually took out his cell phone and took a look. He immediately perked up and answered the call: "Hello? Mr. Huang!"

"The conditions proposed by your informant have been agreed to by the higher-ups."

Huang Bingyao said in a deep voice: "The higher-ups have agreed to help those illegal immigrants who don't want to return to China solve their identity problems, but this is limited to those with clean backgrounds and who haven't committed any major crimes. In addition, Qinglong Group must solve the employment problems of two-thirds of these people, and the government can help introduce jobs to the remaining one-third."

"Great!" Lu Qichang was immediately delighted and said quickly, "I'll call him right away!"

"Yes." Huang Bingyao said in a slow tone, "Tell him that if he can successfully persuade the residents to relocate without causing too much public opinion, the higher-ups will agree that the demolition and reconstruction of Kowloon Walled City can be contracted to Qinglong Group."

"What?! Hisss..."

Lu Qichang was stunned at first, and then he took a breath of cold air in disbelief.

He knew very well how big a project this was.

He had also heard from above that the government's initial investment plan for the demolition and reconstruction of Kowloon Walled City was as high as HK$32 billion!
The government actually agreed to contract such a large project to Qinglong Group? !
"Ah Qing is really going to be rich this time..."

Lu Qichang murmured softly, feeling an indescribable sour feeling in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly thought, what's so good about being a wall-breaking policeman?

A salary of tens of thousands of yuan a month, but still having to risk his life at any time... Ah Qing is smart. He became the boss of a group by being an undercover agent.

Not to mention other businesses of his Qinglong Group, just the demolition and reconstruction project of Kowloon Walled City, as long as he completes this order, it will be enough for him to live off his wealth for several lifetimes!

Isn't this better than being a policeman?

……

at the same time.

Inside the walled city.

After a night of "patient and friendly" persuasion, Di Qing finally convinced the management committee members of the four districts of the walled city to agree to the demolition, and promised to do ideological work from house to house to get the residents of the walled city to agree to move out.

In addition, the cleanup work in the four districts of the walled city was almost completed at this time.

Di Qing made a phone call to inquire, and then asked everyone to gather at the center of the city.

At this time, the residents of the walled city also began to get up and prepare for work.

In every corner, residents were seen queuing up in long queues waiting to get water and use the toilet.

Some people can't wait and just find a slightly secluded corner to solve their urination and defecation problems.

There was garbage everywhere, flies flying everywhere, and a faint foul smell coming from every corner, which made people feel nauseous.

Everyone passing by and seeing this scene couldn't help but frown slightly and temporarily cover their mouths and noses.

On the contrary, Sister Hong, Jin Aneng and others remained calm, as if they were already accustomed to it and did not care.

The water and electricity resources in the walled city are limited, and most of the toilets are shared. But with such a large population, it is normal that there are not enough water, electricity, and toilets.

"Why do you want to live in this slum instead of enjoying better conditions and environments?"

Di Qing couldn't help but sigh.

Sister Hong said helplessly: "Brother Qing, in fact, many people are still willing to obey the government's arrangement and move out, but most of the residents are stubborn and nostalgic. In addition, due to the threats from the four district associations, no one dares to accept the government's compensation for relocation privately, otherwise they will be targeted and suppressed, so this matter has been delayed until now..."

Di Qing nodded slightly.

He naturally understood what Sister Hong meant.

Other residents do not want to be relocated because they are content with the status quo and do not want to change.

As for the social groups in various districts, they are simply for making money.

After all, the walled city is a lawless area and no one cares about the illegal industries.

They can be local tyrants and oppress and exploit the residents of the walled city.

If the walled city is demolished, where will they go to make money and become local tyrants?

In this situation, even if some people are willing to relocate, they will not dare to be the first to try it due to various pressures and threats.

But this won’t happen again!

From now on, the Walled City will be run by the Hung Hing clan. As long as the government agrees to his conditions, he will do his best to promote the resolution of the demolition issue of the Kowloon Walled City.

It is not only for the residents of the walled city, but also in line with the general trend.

The most important thing is that as long as he can handle this matter, he can further clear himself.

The four words "Qinglong Group" will officially enter the sight of senior political and police officials in Hong Kong.

Even the citizens of Hong Kong Island have to thank Qinglong Group.

Because Kowloon Walled City has always been a cancer on Hong Kong Island, the crime rate has remained high.

Many people who committed crimes outside would be safe as long as they hid in the Kowloon Walled City, which led to a surge in the crime rate in the entire Hong Kong Island.

As long as the Kowloon Walled City can be demolished, the public security in Hong Kong Island will be much better.

This is naturally something that everyone would like to see.

Getting this done is like having a guarantee.

As long as he didn't commit suicide on his own initiative or do anything that would anger the heavens and the people, the position of the Qinglong Group in Hong Kong Island would be secure. Soon, everyone came to the center of the city, which was a relatively spacious courtyard.

At this time, all the leaders were waiting here with their men. Many residents were standing in the surrounding corridors, pointing and talking, and discussing in low voices what happened last night, but no one dared to make too much noise.

Everyone knew that the sky in the walled city had changed in just one night.

The community downstairs will be the new leaders of Kowloon Walled City!

"Da da..." Di Qing led his men into the yard.

"Brother Qing!"

"Mr. Di..."

Seeing this, Xiyan and others came forward to greet them.

After a sleepless night, everyone looked a little tired, but they still looked very excited.

In one night, the four major forces in Kowloon Walled City were wiped out, and many flags of other social groups in the walled city were also removed.

From now on, the entire Kowloon Walled City will be ruled by the Hongxing. This is something that none of the three major gangs in Hong Kong have ever done. How can they not be extremely excited?!
Di Qing nodded and stepped forward to ask, "Is everything done?"

"Perfect solution!"

"Done, Qing-ge!"

Everyone spoke up, full of energy.

In the walled city they don't have to worry too much, nor do they have to worry about fighting with friends and getting caught by the police.

Under such circumstances, if the sixteen gangs of Hung Hing and thousands of thugs are unable to deal with these bad guys in the Walled City, they will have no future.

Di Qing nodded slightly, and then told everyone about his plan to assist the government in demolition and solve the employment problems of the illegal households in the city.

This matter involves too many things, and he cannot do it alone. He must get the consent of all the people in charge and work together.

Sharing the spoils, taking risks together, and making money together, this is the long-term way to be the boss.

But everyone was stunned when they heard this.

They thought that Di Qing ordered the destruction of other forces in the stronghold in order to replace them and do business in the stronghold in the future.

In this lawless area, whether you are engaged in prostitution, gambling, or drugs, or open a boxing gym to host boxing matches, or even open a store to sell common daily necessities, you can make a lot of money.

Unexpectedly, Di Qing actually planned to assist the government in demolishing and rebuilding, and also help solve the employment problems of these illegal households in the walled city? !
This... didn't I work for nothing all night? !
Xiyan frowned and said, "Ah Qing, the demolition of the walled city is the government's business. Why do you want to do such a thankless job?"

"Yes, Brother Qing, after we take over the Walled City, can't we make money on our own? Why should we help the foreign government solve the problem of demolition?"

"We finally conquered the Walled City and offended so many communities. Now we have to help the foreign government persuade the people in the Walled City to cooperate with the demolition and move out? Isn't that a waste of our efforts?"

"Yes, Ah Qing, what on earth do you mean by this?"

Everyone spoke up. Although they did not dare to question directly due to Di Qing's prestige, they were all very unhappy and puzzled by Di Qing's actions.

I don't understand why he would do such a thankless task that benefits others but harms himself.

"We are not doing this to help the foreigners, but to help the mainland. After all, the demolition of the walled city is a plan formulated by the Chinese and British governments. I have accurate information that the higher-ups have issued a death order that the walled city must be demolished before the handover in 1997."

"Even if we wanted to do business in the Walled City, we wouldn't be able to do it for a few years. Instead, we have been doing these illegal businesses inside and are easily targeted by the police. Once the Walled City is demolished, we will definitely be the first target of the police."

"So we might as well cooperate with the government to deal with this matter now, leaving a good impression on the police force and the mainland. Then we can whitewash ourselves and do any business at that time..."

Di Qing explained patiently.

But everyone was obviously still not satisfied.

"What does it have to do with us whether he returns or not?"

"Yes, even if the higher-ups decide to demolish it before 1997, there are still several years to go. In these few years, as long as we can defend the fortress from being demolished, we can make a lot of money!"

"Atai is right. I don't agree to help the government do this either. Instead of helping them, we might as well buy some houses in the Walled City now so that we can get a large subsidy when the houses are demolished."

The prince said, "I heard that the government offered the residents in the Walled City 38 US dollars in compensation per household, but they are unwilling to relocate. As long as we buy a few more houses and wait a few years before demolishing them, we will definitely get more compensation!"

Everyone's eyes lit up immediately and they nodded: "Yes, this is a good idea!"

"It's much more cost-effective for us to buy a house inside than outside!"

"That's right. We are the ones in charge of the Walled City now. If we want to buy a house, I don't believe that these guys in the Walled City dare not sell it to us..."

Everyone was so excited that they even considered forcing the sale.

After hearing this, Di Qing's expression became increasingly grim.

If they really do this, what is the difference between Hongxing and those previous social groups that exploited and oppressed the poor?
If you want to cheat, just cheat the foreigners. You even cheat the poor people. Are you still a human being?
And is this because you think you are not dying fast enough?

I worked so hard to find a way to clean myself up, but you guys just gave me some bad advice and made my efforts go to waste.

Do you really think all police officers are vegetarians?

If this is really done, once the Jiuqi Walled City is demolished, it will be the turn of the mainland government to settle accounts with them!
Taking a deep breath, Di Qing's face became stern, and he was ready to directly use his leading privilege - to act arbitrarily!
But at this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang.

"Ding ding ding..." Di Qing picked up the phone and took a look, frowning slightly, but then walked aside and answered the call.

"what?!"

After a moment, Di Qing's expression changed slightly, and then he was overjoyed: "Is this... true?!"

"Don't worry. With Mr. Huang as your guarantor, the higher-ups won't go back on their word. Besides, this matter has become too big a deal. After what happened last night, your Qinglong Group has become famous. The public opinion is too strong. The higher-ups won't let you do such a thing."

"If that doesn't work, I can also try to get the higher-ups to sign a demolition and reconstruction agreement with you first, but the prerequisite is that you have to do the persuasion work before the demolition, and you can't cause too much public opinion!"

Lu Qichang said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Di Qing took a deep breath and felt completely relieved.

This time it wasn’t all in vain!

After hanging up the phone, Di Qing turned around and walked over to the people who were still discussing fiercely. He waved his hand to calm them down and said calmly, "I have already reached an agreement with the government. As long as we can handle this matter, the government can give us the demolition and reconstruction project of Kowloon Walled City. Conservatively estimated, the minimum cost of the project is more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars."

"How about this business? Is it more profitable than those gray industries you guys are working so hard on?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the place suddenly became quiet.

Then there were bursts of gasps of air one after another.

A big project worth over 30 billion?!

Everyone's brains went blank after being shocked by this number.

But what followed was a burst of excitement and ecstasy.

If we can really take on the 30 billion dollar project, who the hell would still care about the little money they make from doing the shady business? !

Even an idiot knows which one to choose!
"Sure enough, benefits come most directly..." Seeing the changes in everyone's expressions, Di Qing sighed in his heart.

If you want to realize your autocratic plan, you have a long way to go!

But at the same time he was relieved.

The government and the community have already taken care of it, and the next step is to persuade the people to relocate from the walled city.

Then my plan to clean myself up and get ashore has successfully taken a big step forward!
