Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 441 "450" ​​(Congratulations on your prosperity!) Legislative Assembly, Guan Zu goes all out!

Shameless and greedy!

Flop the street and cover the house with a shovel!
When Guan Zu cursed at Mr. Zeng so badly that he was completely pissed off.

"you you!"

Mr. Zeng was so angry that he was shaking all over and almost had a seizure.

His face flushed red, veins popping out on his neck.

"Bang~~~"

He slammed the table in anger, wishing he could eat Guan Zu alive.

"Guan Zu, you fucking ..."

"You are the one who is fucking the fucker!"

Guan Zu's voice was even louder, directly suppressing the host of the additional seat: "If you have the guts, then explain clearly, why did you approve the MTR fare increase? Was it really for the sake of public transportation, or did you accept bribes behind the scenes and support the MTR's greedy behavior?"

"Come!"

"Explain it clearly so everyone can see it!"

"I can give you an hour to explain it slowly. Then we'll see if the citizens agree with your bullshit explanation!"

Gao Jin, Tan Meili and other 6-member group: “666~~~”

Mr. Zeng's lips trembled and he wanted to explain, but... he didn't know how to explain.

What Guan Zu said just now is indeed true: With a profit of 3 million, you still want to raise the price?
As a public facility enterprise, a government enterprise, and a people's livelihood enterprise, you are profitable when subways all over the world are not profitable, but you are raising prices.

No matter how you explain it, it doesn't make sense.

Of course, if it was at the Legislative Council, he could refute Guan Zu. But Guan Zu just said that he would tell all Hong Kong citizens... He didn't dare to refute this at all.

Chairman Zeng looked at other members of the Transport Committee for help, hoping that someone would step forward.

Those members are like quails.

How much did I charge?
Let me stand up and take on Guanzu’s firepower?

Chairman Zeng: “…………”

Damn, they take the money easily but don't do the work.

Guan Zu sneered: "It seems that Master Zeng also knows that he is in the wrong, right?"

Master Zeng: “…”

Be silent, lower your head, and pretend you hear nothing.

After Guan Zu finished scolding the Transport Affairs Committee, he turned his gaze towards the chairman of the Finance Committee.

The chairman of the Finance Committee is the representative of the Financial Secretary, named Billy Chan.

Guan Zu: "Councilman Chen!"

Billy Chen: “…………”

Even though he is the representative of the Financial Secretary, and even though the Financial Secretary is very powerful, think about it, when Guan Zu was competing with the Deputy Director of Finance Fang Anxin, he defeated Director Fang miserably.

Calculate yourself.

Guan Zu looked over and felt the pressure.

"Just now, Chairman Zeng of the Transport Committee said that I don't understand the professional knowledge of transport affairs and asked me not to question it."

On the other side, President Zeng buried his head even deeper.

"Now I want to ask you professionals a question from my unprofessional level..."

"The Finance Committee, the Legislative Council has set up this committee of yours, giving you more than HK$300 million in expenditures each year to review and approve public expenditures and oversee the financial operations of all aspects of the government... I would like to ask, what is the basis for your agreement to the MTR fare increase plan?"

Billy Chen looked left and right, feeling extremely embarrassed.

He couldn't answer this question either.

Guan Zu: "You don't know how to answer, right? Then let me ask a simple question: When has Councillor Chen ever taken the subway?"

Billy Chen: “…………”

Guan Zu: "So you've never ridden it before? But think about it, Councillor Chen's daily life is always accompanied by a shiny luxury car waiting at the door on time, and he goes in and out of high-end places. You don't need to squeeze into the subway with other people, and you don't have to experience the crowded and noisy environment..."

"So, Councillor Chen has no idea of ​​the hardships that ordinary citizens go through in the subway!"

Guan Zu's words are always so sharp.
"Sitting in this position, taking taxpayers' money, earning more than one million yuan a year, yet turning a blind eye to the suffering of the people, what else is this but a celibate?"

But Guan Zu's attack did not stop there. His eyes were as sharp as torches:

"When your Finance Committee approved the MTR fare increase plan, was the decision-making process transparent? Did you fully consider the affordability of ordinary citizens? Or did you make a hasty decision based on the data and rhetoric unilaterally provided by the MTR? Where were the opinions of the citizens placed during the whole process? What field research and data analysis did you conduct?"

Gao Jin, Tan Meili and the other 6 people shouted: Brother Zu, awesome! !

Oh no, it seems like we have completely become supporting roles.

Zu Ge 666!!
Guan Zu then asked sternly:
"I would like to ask, of the high revenue of MTR that far exceeds other subway systems each year, how much is actually invested in improving services? As the chairman of the Finance Committee, when you audited the accounts, did you really fulfill your supervisory responsibilities, or was it just a formality?"

"In the face of such an unreasonable price increase, your Finance Committee actually approved it. This is a clear dereliction of duty."

Guan Zu pressed on, "I want to ask, how are you going to hold people accountable for this dereliction of duty? As the chairman, are you willing to take responsibility? Are you going to give the citizens a satisfactory explanation?"

In the entire meeting room, everyone's eyes were focused on Guan Zu and Billy Chen.

Guan Zu is still the king of criticism.

When the firepower is full, no one can stop it!
And what about Billy Chen?
He looked around, not daring to meet Guan Zu's gaze.

On the other hand, Chairman Tsang of the Transport Committee breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is someone as miserable as you are, you won’t be that miserable.

"Everyone!"

Guan Zu stood in the center of the conference room, his posture straight and his eyes sharp as torches. His gaze slowly swept across the entire room.

The fierce questioning just now made the atmosphere in the entire conference room extremely tense. At this moment, everyone was quietly waiting for his next speech.

"Through the questioning just now, we can clearly see that neither the Transport Committee nor the Finance Committee can give a reasonable explanation to support the fare increase of the MTR Corporation. Faced with the heavy burden that the high ticket prices bring to the lives of ordinary people, they choose to turn a blind eye."

Guan Zu's voice was filled with disappointment and anger, echoing in the empty meeting room.

"Therefore, I firmly believe that there are serious problems with the MTR Corporation's fare increase plan this time."

“First, I must emphasize the original intention of the legislative committee.”

Guan Zu's tone became serious and solemn.
“We are in the Legislative Committee and shoulder great responsibilities and missions. From the moment we step into this position, our duty is to serve every citizen. Every decision we make and every agenda should be based on the interests of the citizens and not become a tool for certain interest groups to pursue their own interests.”

Many people want to sneer: No, it is not to serve the citizens, but to serve the upper class.

but,

They dare not say such things.

Because this kind of thinking cannot be seen in public, one can only beautify oneself in the name of "unspoken rules".

And Guan Zu is now like a huge sun, shining brightly, forcing these dark things that cannot stand the light to shrink themselves.

"Secondly, in light of the question just asked."

Guan Zu turned his gaze to Chairman John, with a humble smile on his face, as if the one who had just spoken fiercely and with full firepower in the meeting room was not him.
"Master John, I have a suggestion."

His expression became firm again, and his eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

"We should issue a hearing opinion to the MTR Corporation in the name of the Legislative Council. If the MTR Corporation insists on implementing this unreasonable fare increase plan, then please ask Mr. Tang, the chairman of the MTR board, to attend the Legislative Council meeting next Tuesday and personally accept the hearing of the Legislative Council (me)."

"In addition, the Transport Department and the Consumer Commissioner have both approved the price increase plan. In this case, the Director of the Transport Department and the Chairman of the Consumer Commissioner must also be present next Tuesday to jointly accept the Legislative Council hearing."

What is power?

This is!
This is also the significance of why Guan Zu must fight for a seat as a legislator.

John was sweating profusely.

Guan Zu even went so far as to criticize the MTR, the Transport Department and the Consumer Council.

The Consumer Council is just a small fry, but there are big bosses behind the MTR and the Transport Department.

"This one……"

"Let's vote..."

On the one hand, John didn't want to be scolded by the people, on the other hand, he didn't take the money, and he didn't want to offend the people above him, so he simply resolved it by voting.

“Vote well!”

“Yes, vote!”

All the members present nodded.

Members of the Transport Committee, Finance Committee and other committees were already sneering in their hearts.

I'll vote against it later and see what you, Guan Zu, can say!
There are also people from the education system such as Si Ye, and Liang Shuyi... Many of them are opponents of Guan Zu.

Everyone wants to see Guan Zu make a fool of himself.

Guan Zu just now enjoyed scolding and looked so righteous, which made them very unhappy.

Guan Zu nodded: "Let's vote, I agree..."

Then he glanced around:
"But I want to remind all the legislators here. You are paid to represent the public opinion. I will remember what each of you voted for, and I will report it in detail later on ATV News."

As soon as these words were spoken, a group of congressmen's faces turned green.

Hey!
It’s great to have ATV, we can do whatever we want!
at this time,

Everyone realized one thing: No wonder Guan Zu wanted to acquire ATV. Guan Zu + ATV is simply a golden combination!

Liang Shuyi sneered: "Councilman Guan, are you crazy about increasing the ratings? You keep talking about informing the public about the topics discussed at the Legislative Council? Don't you know that the Legislative Council has confidentiality regulations?"

Guan Zu sneered: "Councilman Liang, is your brain filled with water? You can hear the sound of water when you shake it. The confidentiality regulations of the Legislative Council? Haven't you read the Legislative Council Ordinance? Only when it comes to core secrets of Hong Kong Island security and diplomatic information, as well as the core technology and business plans of enterprises, and the private information of citizens, can the confidentiality regulations be activated in these three areas."

"You're a legislator, but you're not even familiar with the contents of the law? You're raising pigs in this Legislative Council!"

"Next time we have a meeting, I'll give you a children's table. Can you sit at the children's table?"

Liang Shuyi: “…………”

His face turned pale and blue, and he wanted to refute but didn't know how to do so.

The other members of parliament lowered their heads in fear.

What a harsh curse!

Hey!
Gao Jin, Ahua and others: "Brother Zu, you are so mighty and domineering!!"

Guan Zu continued to scold Liang Shuyi: "Also, I haven't criticized you for your TVB's random reports. As a legislator in the media sector and as the vice president of TVB, you are indifferent to TVB's random news reports."

"Are you a Semi-Eater?"

Liang Shuyi: “…………”

Alpaca, if I had known I would have kept quiet, I would have gotten scolded.

Other members of parliament: “…………”

Can't afford to offend!

"All right!"

John rubbed his brows and said, "Vote!"

In fact, he can conduct a secret ballot, but if the number of votes is really too low, then all the citizens of Hong Kong will curse the Legislative Council and him as its chairman.

I didn't take any money, why should I be scolded!
quickly,

All members began to vote.

In the end, out of 54 people, 39 voted in favor, 0 voted against, and 15 abstained.

John: "Okay, since the majority of votes in the vote agree with Councillor Kwan's proposal, let's send a notice to the MTR, Transport Department, and Consumer Council in the name of the Legislative Council..."

"Then let's move on to the next topic."

"..."

Next,
It's just garbage time, starting to discuss things that are not that important.

One by one, the congressmen began to yawn.

so boring!

Not as awesome as Brother Zu!
……

At noon, as calls were made one after another, the news began to spread to the MTR, the Transport Department and the Consumer Council.

……

……

MTR Corporation.

Top floor.

Chairman's Office.

The office space is spacious and bright, with an unobstructed 270-degree floor-to-ceiling window that allows for a clear view of the Kowloon scenery outside.

The whole office is high-end and luxurious, with four large characters "Heaven rewards hard work" hanging on the wall, and fortune-attracting ornaments placed on the table. In addition, there are several European-style oil paintings hung in an orderly manner.

Mr. Tang sat in a comfortable leather boss chair, signing and approving several documents.

Regarding the price increase, according to the plan,

The preliminary approval and announcement have been completed, and the next step is the public vote.

vote,

That gives us more room for maneuver.

他们可以找‘普通居民消费者’9名、‘非居民消费者’3名、经营者3名、其他利益相关方1名、专家学者3名……

They look like 'ordinary people', but in fact they are all our own people.

"Hey~~~"

Master Tang chuckled.

He looked at the valuable Rolex on his wrist. It was twelve o'clock noon. It was time for lunch.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

"Hello……"

"Mr. Tang, there is a problem with the MTR fare increase!"

Chairman Tang recognized the voice as that of Chairman Zeng from the Transport Affairs Committee.

Tang Xizhu: "Mr. Zeng, what's wrong?"

Zeng Jianming: "Today, the Legislative Council met as usual, but Guan Zu questioned your MTR at the Legislative Council meeting."

Master Tang immediately frowned: "This Guan Zu is so arrogant, isn't he afraid of offending you?"

Afraid of offending us?
Zeng Jianming smiled bitterly. Guan Zu was not afraid at all. He treated us as little jokes and kept squeezing us around.

However, he was not going to tell this embarrassing thing.

Zeng Jianming: "Now the Legislative Council has passed a resolution and will formally notify you soon."

President Tang had a bad feeling: "What resolution?"

Zeng Jianming: "Either you MTR stop raising fares, or you go to the Legislative Council next Tuesday and personally accept the Legislative Council's hearing."

"what?!"

President Tang was shocked: "How did it come to this? Didn't you vote against it?"

Zeng Jianming: "We voted, but it was useless. There were more votes in favor."

President Tang was a little angry: "Sir Zeng, why didn't you stop it? The Finance Committee and the Transportation Affairs Committee, two committees, add up to 15 people..."

Zeng Jianming: "I'm sorry, I have tried my best to fight for my rights, but I didn't win... It's too late to say this now, you will receive a hearing notice soon."

President Tang: “…………”

I was so furious, cursing in my heart.

You two are disloyal, taking money but not doing anything! !

Zeng Jianming: "Don't think we are disloyal. It's just that Guan Zu has too many supporters... Not only do you have to go to the hearing, but the Transport Department and the Consumer Council must also be present on Tuesday to jointly accept the Legislative Council's hearing."

President Tang: “…………”

Zeng Jianming: "This phone call of mine can be regarded as the fulfillment of the friendship between us... You can make your own decision on what to choose. Also, don't underestimate Guan Zu."

After saying that, Zeng Jianming hung up the phone.

Don’t underestimate Guan Zu?

Isn’t he just a small-time congressman?
"Ling ring ring~~~"

As soon as I hung up the phone, another call came in, from Boss Li.

Boss Li: "I heard that the Legislative Council meeting has ended. Have you received the results?"

President Tang: "Received."

Boss Li: "So, don't underestimate Guan Zu. No one in the Legislative Council can suppress him for the time being."

President Tang: “…………”

He thought someone had already told Guan Zu not to mess around, so the situation had been calm for the past few days.

As a result, there is no!

Not long after,
A hearing notice was delivered to President Tang's desk.

……

quickly,

The Director of Transport and the Chairman of the Consumer Council have all received hearing notices.

Director of Transport: “…………”

It’s against Tiangang!
Who the hell is Guan Zu!
Chairman of the Consumer Council: “…………”

I was paid to do a job, how could this kind of trouble happen?

……

at night,

As night falls, the city's neon lights gradually light up.

19: 00,

Following Guan Zu's arrangement, ATV News finally started reporting on the MTR fare increase.

The host Wen Huixin started tonight's news broadcast with a focused look.

"Good evening, audience friends!"

"Recently, the MTR fare increase has caused a stir in Hong Kong Island, and citizens are furious about it..."

"It is worth mentioning that three days ago, Councillor Kwan Cho went deep into the public, took the MTR, talked with the citizens and listened carefully to their voices... Councillor Kwan Cho solemnly promised on the spot that he would go all out to give the citizens a satisfactory answer..."

At this moment, thousands of households in Hong Kong,
All the citizens who were watching the ATV news were cheered up.

Some were eating and looked up.

Some poked their heads out of the kitchen.

Some ran out of the room.

All eyes were fixed on the TV.

In the past few days, ATV has been avoiding talking about the MTR incident, even giving people the illusion that Kwan Cho and ATV are afraid of the MTR.

And now,
ATV has finally shown its sword.

"In recent days, Councillor Kwan Cho has been collecting relevant information on the MTR."

Wen Huixin said with great force:
“And at today’s regular Legislative Council meeting, Councillor Kwan Cho finally delivered on his promise.”

"At the conference, he formally raised strong doubts about the MTR fare increase."

"Councilor Kwan Cho's words were sharp, pointing out that the Transport Committee and the Finance Committee were sitting idle in the process of approving the MTR fare increase plan, and questioning their disregard for the rights of citizens."

"At the same time, Councillor Kwan Cho put forward an important proposal to hold a hearing on the chairman of the MTR board, the Commissioner for Transport and the chairman of the Consumer Council to thoroughly investigate the truth behind the MTR fare increase."

"After the efforts of Councillor Kwan Cho, his proposal was finally passed. This means that next Tuesday, the Chairman of the MTR Board, the Director of the Transport Department and the Chairman of the Consumer Council will go to the Legislative Council for a hearing."

Right now,

Citizens across Hong Kong who were watching the news were all surprised.

"Sure enough, Mr. Guan won't let us down!"

"Great! Long live Mr. Guan!"

"I said Mr. Guan would not ignore this matter."

Previously, many citizens expressed disappointment at Guan Zu's "fear and escape", but now they know that Guan Zu was not afraid or escaping, but was collecting information.

I suddenly felt guilty towards Guan Zu and my admiration for him increased.

At this time, Wen Huixin continued: "At 20:00, there will be a live interview with Councillor Guan Zu. Guan Zu will answer questions from the public regarding the MTR fare increase. The time will last for 30 minutes. The original "Justice Bao" will be delayed to 20:40."

at this time,

Kwun Tong.

A policeman named Wen Fang was having dinner at home. (Fire Dragon Showdown)
He has a mother, an older sister (with a son and a daughter), and his wife who is more than eight months pregnant.

Police officer Wen Fang is an officer of the Serious Crime Unit of Kwun Tong Police Station. He has several capable subordinates and can be considered an experienced frontline police officer.

My sister watched the news and said: "Mr. Guan is a really nice person..."

Wen Fang nodded and looked at Guan Zu on TV.

He is a front-line police officer and has been working there for more than 20 years. He knows how difficult it is to get promoted. The police officers under him are all excellent and are always at the forefront of every major case, but it is difficult for them to get promoted.

The "Fang Jiexia New Regulations" promoted by Guan Zu gave these front-line police officers some hope.

It is no exaggeration to say that Guan Zu is the benefactor of these frontline police officers.

quickly,

At 20:00,

After the family finished their meal, they continued to watch the live interview with Guan Zu.

In the live interview, Guan Zu mentioned the various revenue channels of MTR, the 3 million profit, and the current situation of the world's subways...

Wen Fang's family felt angry when they heard this.

"This Hong Kong*, he just fell from the street!"

At this time, the ratings of this interview program have accounted for 83% of the Chinese channels.

……

the other side,
Kwun Tong, late night snack stall, smoky and noisy.

Ji Shaoqun and his former subordinates, Asen and Akang, were having a midnight snack. (Fire Dragon Showdown)
Fried squid, fried clams, fried peanuts... beer...

A late night snack is that simple.

An interview with Guan Zu was being broadcast on TV.

The three of them were naturally very grateful to Guan Zu.

When Ji Shaoqun joined the police force in the past, it was because of the scum in society, and he was determined to clean them up.

The four major cases in two years further proved his strong case-handling ability.

But what's the use?

If your boss says he won’t promote you, then he won’t promote you!
Therefore, Ji Shaoqun now feels that there are bigger scumbags above the police station.

However, he was in no mood to watch TV now, as he was in a crisis. He made a wrong judgment in futures trading and his investment failed. Not only did he lose all his money, he also owed a loan shark of 1000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the interest compounded to more than million...

This made him very anxious, and he even thought of making some illegal money to fill the hole.

He had had this idea for a long time.

But it has not yet been implemented.

at this time,

On TV, Guan Zu faced the camera and talked freely.

"MTR's revenue channels are actually very broad. Last year, MTR's profit was as high as 3 million."

"Next Tuesday's hearing is crucial. We in the Legislative Council will ask the MTR to give citizens a reasonable explanation..."

"I have made full preparations and will not miss any details. I will definitely let the MTR give the public a reasonable explanation."

"The relevant departments must also strengthen supervision in the future. I will continue to follow up to ensure that public resources truly serve the citizens. As long as the citizens still have demands, I will keep going."

At this time, the citizens who were having supper all sighed:
"Councilman Guan is a really good person. He dares to speak up for us neighbors!"

"If it were anyone else, they would probably turn a blind eye to the MTR fare increase, except for the councillor who stood up to fight for our rights."

"Yes."

"Respectfully, Mr. Guan!"

"Respectfully, Mr. Guan!"

Many citizens at the midnight snack stall responded and raised their glasses.

Ji Shaoqun couldn't help but raise his glass: "Cheers to Mr. Guan!"

A Kang and A Sen raised their glasses: "Cheers to Mr. Guan!"

……

With the broadcast of the interview with Guan Zu, countless citizens in Hong Kong expressed their gratitude to Guan Zu.

Guan Zu has received a system prompt:

"You speak up for justice, plead for the people, and never back down in the face of powerful interest groups. You speak for the citizens with detailed data and firm convictions..."

"You get a reward: Hong Kong Island support rate +1% (29%)!"

……

……

Lee's Villa,

Boss Li and Li Er were watching TV.

"This Guan Zu always uses this trick to win the hearts of the people!"

unfortunately,

If it were Boss Li, he would not do such an offensive thing.

Although Li Er is "passionate" about charity, he would never do such a thing.

Boss Li has now seen this clearly, so he has become very low-key and is gradually accelerating the transfer of assets overseas.

Hong Kong Island cannot defeat Guan Zu, so it can only run away.

……

And on the other side,
The Transport Department, the Consumer Council... especially the MTR, were so smelly that they were cursed by countless citizens.

Mr. Tang, the chairman of MTR, was extremely angry and called his secretary directly:

"Go check the identities of the citizens who chatted with Guan Zu on the subway right now. Find out for me..."

"Then notify those companies to fire these citizens..."

"You idiot! If I can't deal with Guan Zu, can I still deal with you?"
