Hong Kong General: Undercover and Liansheng, from 49 to leader

Chapter 276 [276] The Governor of Hong Kong is confused. Is Lu Yaowen, the education tycoon, too patriotic?

"Lu Yaowen, the Eagles have issued an order to take action against Shimao Real Estate."

After hanging up the phone with Chen Kangli, Li Jingtian immediately told Lu Yaowen the "good news".

"Li Laosan, why do I feel like you're a little excited?"

Lu Yaowen's tone was amusing but not smiling.

"After I help you with this, I can leave Hong Kong Island and go to Southeast Asia. Of course I'm excited."

Li Jingtian's eyes narrowed and he explained himself.

Hearing Li Jingtian's words, Xiao Qi, who was standing beside him, showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

As a psychopath, Li Jingtian never explains himself.

It seems that Lu Yaowen, the "expert" in treating mental illness, has indeed caused a "sense of oppression" on Li Jingtian.

"Then let me congratulate you in advance."

After Lu Yaowen said this, he hung up the phone.

"Beep, beep, beep~"

Hearing the busy tone coming from the receiver, Li Jingtian also hung up the phone, looked up at Xiao Qi who was still a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Lu Yaowen is a sensible guy, so I didn't help him in vain."

"..."

Xiao Qi didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Xiao Qi, if everything goes well for Lu Yaowen this time, he can make tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. I can only embezzle the tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars that Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and others invested in the oil mines in Southeast Asia. Just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable."

"With tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, how much ammunition can I buy with that much money? Maybe I can even buy Zengmu Island directly from the Java monkeys."

Li Jingtian looked envious.

Xiao Qi didn't say anything, just watched Li Jingtian's "performance" quietly.

On the other side, after Lu Yaowen hung up Li Jingtian’s call, he immediately dialed Sima Nianzu’s number.

"Azu, it's me."

"Brother Wen, what do you want me to do?"

Sima Nianzu's voice came from the receiver.

"Tomorrow, Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and his gang will take action against Shimao Real Estate. You landlords will find a suitable time to enter the market and give Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and their gang some confidence."

Lu Yaowen smiled.

"okay, I get it."

"Grandpa, the mission of your Landlord Association this time is very simple. It is to use the shares of Shimao Real Estate in your hands to get as much benefit as possible from Li Huanggua and Li Zhaoji."

Lu Yaowen continued to give orders.

The 21% of Shimao Real Estate shares held by Wang Baiwan's father Wang Zhongying were just bait to lure Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and Ying Guoren into a trap. The truly fatal part was the 14% of Shimao Real Estate shares held by the Landlord Association.

Lu Yaowen wants to use this 14% of Shimao Real Estate shares to turn Li Huanggua and Li Zhaoji from being dogs who admire foreigners into dogs who have lost their homes!
……

On the other side, the Jockey Club.

"Mr. Li, please take a seat."

Looking at Li Wenbin who was brought into the box by the waiter, Yan Liguo smiled gently, without any of the alienation and arrogance he had shown before towards Li Wenbin.

"Mr. Li, you are from Chaoshan. The Jockey Club has hired a very professional Chaoshan chef. The dishes he cooks will definitely suit your taste."

Yan Liguo's words were suggestive.

After hearing this, Li Wenbin's eyes moved slightly: "Director Yan, I was born in Hong Kong Island. I am used to eating any Hong Kong Island dish."

"Hahaha, I haven't been in Hong Kong Island for a long time, but I have already fallen in love with the food here. I can't eat traditional Western food anymore. Last time my wife came to visit me in Hong Kong Island, she made me a portion of my favorite dish, Stargazing, but I found it a little hard to swallow."

The smile on Yan Liguo's face was very hearty, as if he and Li Wenbin were very good friends. He shared interesting things in his daily life with Li Wenbin with great interest.

"Director Yan, your wife hasn't come to Hong Kong Island to settle down yet?"

Li Wenbin immediately discovered the 'key point'.

"She is an MP for Manchester and her work is even busier than mine. Coming to visit me for a few days is the best she can do."

Yan Liguo said slowly.

After hearing Yan Liguo say that his wife was a member of the House of Representatives, Li Wenbin's pupils shrank slightly.

Regional MPs and regional councillors are two completely different concepts. Regional councillors are members of the regional parliament, while regional MPs are members who represent the region in meetings of the Eagle Country Parliament.

There are only 650 members of the House of Representatives in the Eagle Country. Every member of the House of Representatives is a big shot in his constituency, and most of them come from local political families.

This guy Yan Liguo seems to be showing off his love, but in fact he is secretly showing off his muscles to Li Wenbin.

"Director Yan has made great sacrifices for his work."

Li Wenbin's tone was extremely flat, making it hard to tell whether he was sincere or false.

"Mr. Li, I really like what you Chinese people say, 'Do your job within your position.' I won't hide it from you. My appointment will be announced in a week at most, and then I will officially take office as the Commissioner of Police."

Yan Liguo said slowly.

"Congratulations, Director Yan."

Li Wenbin's tone remained indifferent.

"Mr. Li, after I became the Commissioner of Police, the position of Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the management department has become vacant. I wonder if you are interested in taking on this responsibility?"

Yan Liguo looked straight at Li Wenbin and said something that made Li Wenbin a little confused.

After hearing the last words Han Yili said to him, 'He is him, and the police force is the police force', Yan Liguo really understood.

The police force is nothing more than a tool for the Eagles to control Hong Kong Island. Everything in it can be traded. It's true that he is the top of the police force, but he is also a civil servant serving his motherland.

The source of his power is different from that of people like Li Wenbin. Li Wenbin and others’ power is given by the Hong Kong Police Force, while Yan Liguo’s power is given by his ancestral family.

After realizing this, Yan Liguo decisively offered the position of "Deputy Commissioner of Police" to Li Wenbin without any hesitation.

"why?"

After a brief moment of shock, Li Wenbin asked this question.

"Mr. Li, you should know the answer."

Yan Liguo said slowly.

"..."

Li Wenbin certainly knew the answer. The Eagles wanted to form an alliance with their "local faction" to fight against the mainland faction and Zhuo Jingquan. Of course, the most important thing was to deal with Lu Yaowen.

This is also where Li Wenbin hesitated. No one in the entire "local faction" understood Lu Yaowen better than Li Wenbin. He knew very well how terrifying this young man was.

To be honest, Li Wenbin really didn't want to be an enemy of Lu Yaowen.

"Sir Li, not only will you be the deputy commissioner of police, but during my term, your 'local faction' will have 15 seats in the constitutional committee meeting, with at least six votes. After I retire, you will become the new commissioner of police."

Yan Liguo's benefits are like a big sale, as if he is about to hand over the Hong Kong Island Police Force to the "local faction".

Such generous conditions made Li Wenbin feel like he was in a dream.

He also wanted to ask, does Lu Yaowen put so much pressure on you Eagle people?
This even made Li Wenbin feel frustrated. He had worked hard in the police force for more than 20 years, but in the end he had to rely on Lu Yaowen to get promoted.

"Director Yan, I need to think about it."

Li Wenbin felt that his mind was a little confused and he needed to calm down.

"Hahaha, Sir Li, don't worry, I will give you enough time to consider it. I believe you will give me a satisfactory answer."

Yan Liguo laughed.

He believed that Li Wenbin would definitely agree to him.

Greed for power is the fatal weakness of "local factions" like Li Wenbin. Of course, if Li Wenbin is not greedy for power, he would not be qualified to sit in the Jockey Club and meet with himself.

In the following time, Yan Liguo did as he said and did not say a word to Li Wenbin about the police force.

More than an hour later, Li Wenbin walked out of the Jockey Club and got into a Mercedes-Benz sedan.

After a moment's silence, Li Wenbin slowly said, "Let's go to Taiping Mountain."

Just as Yan Liguo said, Li Wenbin was tempted, but what attracted him was not the position of Deputy Commissioner of Police, but the dawn of "Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong".

Li Wenbin wanted to ask the top leaders of the "local faction" what their opinions were, whether to fight or make peace with Lu Yaowen.

……

At the same time, that night, in Mount Kedoori, inside Judy Tang’s villa.

"The Eagles have already issued an order. Tomorrow Li Huanggua and his men will take action against Shimao Real Estate."

Looking at Tang Judy sitting in front of him, Lu Yaowen's tone was very calm.

"Ah."

Tang Judy's face was equally calm.

"Sister Judy, the next period of time will depend on your performance."

A smile appeared on Lu Yaowen's face.

"You are going to fool a lot of people again."

Tang Judy looked at Lu Yaowen's handsome face, her eyes full of love. No woman would not like a man who is full of vigor and confidence.

"They were not fooled by me, but by their own greed."

Lu Yaowen said this slowly.

"Awen, I've been wondering, what is your greed?"

Tang Judy asked the doubts in her heart.

"Sister Judy, you can take a guess."

Lu Yaowen replied with a smile.

"Beauty? Wealth? Power? You seem to want everything, yet you also seem to want nothing? Honestly, I don't understand you."

Tang Judy's pretty eyebrows were slightly frowned, and she shook her head slightly while speaking. Her mature and mature appearance, coupled with the "cuteness" that she inadvertently revealed, made Tang Judy particularly attractive at this moment.

"If you don't understand, then just read it slowly. We still have a lot of time..."

Lu Yaowen hugged Tang Judy into his arms and said softly.

……

At noon the next day, a bombshell news came out that three Hong Kong Island tycoons, Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and Li Jingtian, jointly issued a public statement that they would acquire Shimao Properties at a price of five dollars per share.

Once this news came out, it immediately set off an uproar across Hong Kong Island.

After Shimao Properties developed the land in the New Territories, its share price has been rising steadily. The current share price is 13.70 yuan per share. The price offered by Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and Li Jingtian is no different from forced buying and selling.

There is only one possibility for Li Huanggua and the other two to acquire Shimao Real Estate at a price of five yuan per share, and that is to forcibly short Shimao Real Estate and make its price far lower than five yuan per share.

However, to short-sell Shimao Properties, which has a market value of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars and is in good operating condition? In the eyes of Hong Kong Island stockholders, this is simply impossible.

If the three people who made the public statement had not been Li Huanggua, Li Zhaoji and Li Jingtian, Hong Kong Island stock investors would have regarded the news as the words of a madman who had suddenly had a seizure.

That afternoon, just as the majority of Hong Kong Island investors thought, the stock price of Shimao Properties showed no downward trend and even rose to fourteen yuan per share.

Inside the Changjiang Group headquarters building.

"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time. The last time we met was probably more than ten years ago, right?"

Li Huanggua looked at Chen Zhan who walked into his office and a fake smile appeared on his face.

More than ten years ago, Li Huanggua had not yet been supported by the foreigners. He belonged to the same class as Chen Zhan. Sometimes he even asked Chen Zhan to help him with financing. The two met many times.

After Li Huanggua was supported by the foreigners, Li Huanggua no longer took Chen Zhan, not to mention Huang Shitong, seriously, so it was naturally impossible for him to meet Chen Zhan again.

"Mr. Li has a really good memory."

During these few months, Chen Zhan was punished several times by Sima Nianzu and Luo Minsheng. Coupled with Ma Zhihua's betrayal, he was completely sidelined and now can only be Sima Nianzu's puppet.

"Mr. Chen, what do you want to see me about?"

Li Huanggua had no intention of reminiscing about the past with Chen Zhan. If Chen Zhan said anything next, he, Li Huanggua, would not be interested. After a few seconds, someone would ask Chen Zhan to leave.

"Mr. Li, I heard that you, Li Zhaoji, and Li Jingtian are going to acquire Shimao Real Estate. I happen to have 14% of Shimao Real Estate's shares. I wonder if you are interested?"

Chen Zhan looked at Li Huanggua with an exceptionally bright smile on his face.

"..."

After hearing what Chen Zhan said, Li Huanggua was slightly stunned. After a moment, he immediately asked, "Mr. Chen, please give me a price."

"Mr. Li, you are a businessman, and you should know that businessmen pursue profits. I am not sure how much money I can make from this 14% of the shares, so I am reluctant to sell it to you."

Chen Zhan replied with a smile.

Li Huanggua's expression did not change for a moment, he just looked at Chen Zhan quietly. He knew that since this old guy came to find him, he would not return empty-handed.

Sure enough, Chen Zhan continued, "How about this, Mr. Li, I will lend you these stocks, and after you successfully acquire Shimao Real Estate, you can give me 20% of the profits, how about that?" "No problem."

Li Huanggua agreed without hesitation.

His purpose in acquiring Shimao Real Estate was not to make money, but to complete the mission of the Eagles and contain Lu Yaowen at the same time.

"Mr. Li, let's sign the contract. I will lend you the shares for three months. This period of time should be enough for you to short Shimao Real Estate, right?"

Chen Zhan asked with a smile.

"Mr. Chen, I will always remember your favor."

Li Huanggua also replied with a smile.

Chen Zhan didn't take Li Huanggua's words to heart at all. He believed that Li Huanggua would repay his kindness, so he might as well believe that it would snow in Hong Kong Island. After all, it really snowed in Hong Kong Island, and Li Huanggua...

after an hour.

"Father."

Li Ju walked up to Li Huanggua and greeted him respectfully.

"Aju, here is the share certificate for 14% of Shimao Real Estate's shares. Starting tomorrow, you will be responsible for operating these shares and raising the share price of Shimao Real Estate to 20 Hong Kong dollars per share."

Li Huanggua pushed the share certificate he had just received from Chen Zhan in front of Li Ju.

"Father, didn't you just make a statement at noon saying you were going to short Shimao Real Estate?"

A hint of doubt flashed in Li Ju's eyes.

"The higher the stock price goes, the faster Shimao Real Estate's cash will be spent, and the sooner we will take action. If we delay for too long, who knows what new tricks Lu Yaowen will come up with."

Obviously, Li Huanggua was also on high alert against Lu Yaowen.

"clear."

Li Ju immediately nodded in response.

"After we take over Shimao Real Estate, with the shares we get and this 14% of shares, we can become the largest shareholder of Shimao Real Estate. Ah Ju, then the management of this real estate company will be handed over to you."

Li Huanggua has already regarded Shimao Real Estate as his own meal.

With the cooperation of three tycoons each with a net worth of hundreds of billions and the absolute support of the British Hong Kong government, Li Huanggua didn't know how he could lose.

"Father, I will definitely work hard."

Li Ju was excited.

……

On the other side, in the police headquarters building, inside Yan Liguo’s office.

"Director Yan, I will fully cooperate with your work in the future."

After Li Wenbin sat in front of Yan Liguo, he went straight to the point and stated his final decision.

At this moment, his mind was still thinking about the scene when he met He Shanheng last night.

He Shanheng, who had always been cold to the Eagles, changed his attitude and supported his cooperation with the Eagles.

In Li Wenbin's puzzled eyes, He Shanheng roughly told Li Wenbin about the Eagle countrymen's upcoming full decentralization of power to the "local faction", and Li Wenbin suddenly realized it.

The sudden emergence of Luk Yiu-man changed not only the Hong Kong Police Force, but also the entire British Hong Kong government.

In this situation, even if Li Wenbin did not want to be an enemy of Lu Yaowen, he had no choice but to do so. Unless he also wanted to join Lu Yaowen, otherwise, no matter how powerful Li Wenbin was, he would not be able to resist the general trend of the entire faction.

"Mr. Li, I wish us a happy cooperation in the future."

A hint of a smile appeared on Yan Liguo's face, but his eyes were exceptionally calm.

"Pleasant to work with."

Li Wenbin also stretched out his right hand and held Yan Liguo's right hand.

"Mr. Li, you Chinese have a saying that goes, "If you don't trust someone, don't employ him." Now that we have reached a cooperation agreement, I will definitely trust you 100%.

"You can draw up a list for the front-line departments, and I will help all your people get into the positions you have prepared for them within a year."

Yan Liguo smiled and gave Li Wenbin his first "greeting gift".

Given the number of local faction members, this is equivalent to giving half of the police force's front-line departments to Li Wenbin to manage.

However, after receiving such a generous 'greeting gift', Li Wenbin did not smile at all. Instead, a subtle worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.

The more the Eagles give, the more they want. The price of letting the "local faction" take charge of half of the front-line departments of the police force is most likely to cause the "local faction" to go to war with Lu Yaowen.

"Thank you Director Yan for your respect."

If you ignore the content and only listen to the tone of Li Wenbin's words, you will find that they are top-level "yin and yang".

"Mr. Li, I hope you will do your best in the future and not let the police force down, the British Hong Kong government down, or the citizens of Hong Kong Island down."

Yan Liguo also learned something from Han Yili, such as using the queen's pressure and flattering people.

"Director Yan, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Li Wenbin ignored Yan Liguo's words, and after saying this, he got up and left.

"hehe."

Looking at Li Wenbin's leaving back, Yan Liguo showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

……

On the other side, Lu Yaowen was also meeting with the principals of Southeast Middle School, Ci'an Middle School and other schools.

Although these principals are nominally employees of the Hong Kong Education Department, in reality, the Eagles have invested most of their funds in "famous schools" in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.

Schools located in housing estates such as Southeast Middle School and Tzu On Middle School can only get very little funding and cannot even hire enough teachers, let alone improve the quality of teaching. The fact that they have been able to survive until now is already a sign of the hard work of these principals.

These principals also have to thank Lu Yaowen, because He Liansheng needs to assess the employees it recruits. Many of the original problem students have returned to the classroom and attended classes obediently, and even took the initiative to help the teachers maintain class records, which has slightly improved the school's teaching atmosphere.

"Principals, don't be so nervous. I called you here because I have something good to tell you."

Lu Yaowen looked at the dozen or so principals sitting in front of him with nervous expressions, with a gentle smile on his face.

"?"

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, the principals of more than a dozen schools, including Southeast Middle School, all showed a hint of doubt in their eyes.

If it weren't for Lu Yaowen's reputation as the emperor of the Hong Kong underworld, these principals would never have taken the initiative to run to the Heliansheng headquarters to meet Lu Yaowen after receiving Jimmy's call.

"I have done some research. You have nearly 20,000 students in your dozen schools combined, and most of them are children from nearby housing estates. The education department allocates less than 20 million yuan per year to you, which means that each student only gets 2,000 yuan per year."

"In comparison, schools like Diocesan College and Queen's College have a budget of 30,000 to 50,000 per student per year."

At this point, Lu Yaowen's tone sank: "I know that the students of Diocesan College and Queen's College are all excellent students. It's no problem for them to enjoy more resources, but are people in housing estates really stupid? I also come from a housing estate, and I can say loudly, NO!"

“As long as there are enough resources, housing estates can produce talents, and a lot of them.”

"..."

Listening to Lu Yaowen's speech, a dozen principals became more and more confused.

At this time, Lu Yaowen said something that made the faces of more than a dozen principals change violently: "I plan to cooperate with your fourteen schools and invest 5,000 Hong Kong dollars per student every year."

"At the same time, the industries under my name will give priority to recruiting students who graduated from these 14 schools. In addition, I will arrange for teachers to teach the classes to make up for the shortage of teaching staff."

"Finally, we and Liansheng will maintain the school's teaching order and will never allow some messy people and forces to invade the campus and affect students' studies."

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, all the principals had a thought in their minds: "Why do you and Liansheng seem to be not gangsters?"

Of course, no one dared to say this to Lu Yaowen in person, because this guy was really a gangster.

"Mr. Lu, you have given these schools such good conditions, what do you need?"

The principal of Southeast Middle School couldn't help but ask.

He doesn't believe that pie will fall from the sky.

"I will set up an education group to invest in your schools. I will own 51% of each school and I will be a school director myself."

Lu Yaowen said slowly.

The most outrageous thing in Hong Kong's education sector is that the only local secondary schools, such as Southeast Middle School and Tzu Chi Middle School, are all subsidized schools, that is, private schools, and can only receive a small amount of funding from the British Hong Kong government every year.

What about the government schools directly run by the British Hong Kong government?

Sorry, there are only government schools in communities where wealthy people live in Hong Kong Island. There are no such schools in housing estates and other slums.

"..."

After hearing what Lu Yaowen said, all the principals present were silent. After more than half a minute, the principal of Ci'an Middle School finally spoke up and said, "Mr. Lu, we can't decide on this matter. We need to discuss it with the directors of the school board."

"I'll give you one week. If you fail to convince the directors of your school's board of directors, I will personally help you convince them."

A 'gentle' smile appeared on Lu Yaowen's face.

These fourteen schools are the first step for Lu Yaowen to reform Hong Kong Island's "education" and there is absolutely no room for error.

"Okay, Mr. Lu."

In this situation, no one dared to say no to Lu Yaowen.

After a moment of fear and trepidation, the principals finally left the Heliansheng headquarters building.

"Principal Kuang, what do you think of Lu Yaowen's proposal?"

When the principal of Southeast Middle School, Kuang Yunsheng, was about to raise his hand to hail a taxi, the principal of Ci'an Middle School, Li Yunzhi, stopped him.

"I talked to the school director. To be honest, I don't think Lu Yaowen is fooling us. From the assessment conditions for recruiting members of He Liansheng, we can see that he really values ​​education."

"Anyway, our housing estate school can't get any worse. Letting Lu Yaowen take over to mess things up may not be a bad thing."

Kuang Yunsheng spoke out what was in his heart.

"Principal Kuang, what you said makes sense. I'm just afraid that things are not that simple."

Li Yunzhi said quietly.

"Ok?"

A hint of doubt flashed across Kuang Yunsheng's eyes.

"We have 14 schools with more than 20,000 students in total. According to Lu Yaowen, we need to invest more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars every year. Add in other investments, and I always feel that it is not right for a gangster to spend 150 million on education."

Li Yunzhi said in a low voice.

"Principal Li, as long as Lu Yaowen can come up with real money, it will be a good thing for the students. As for other things, we should not think too much."

Kuang Yunsheng advised.

"I heard that the Eagles are planning to increase their investment in education, especially in schools like ours. Isn't it too coincidental that Lu Yaowen is suddenly going to invest in our schools at this time?"

"I'm afraid that when the gods fight, we mortals will suffer."

Li Yunzhi leaned close to Kuang Yunsheng's ear and whispered.

"..."

Hearing Li Yunzhi's words, Kuang Yunsheng was slightly stunned. After more than ten seconds, he uttered a sentence: "Wait! We mortals have no right to choose in front of the gods."

"Hey!"

Li Yunzhi sighed lightly and then hailed a taxi.

"Go to Southeast Middle School, and stop at Ci'an Middle School."

After getting in the car, Li Yunzhi immediately said.

"Fuck your mother, you're using my car again?"

Kuang Yunsheng, whose butt had just touched the car seat, was about to get off the car, but was pulled back by Li Yunzhi: "Principal Kuang, you know, our Tzu Ann Middle School has a good seedling who may be able to go to Hong Kong University. Most of my salary has been used to support him."

"You! Hey!"

Hearing Li Yunzhi's words, Kuang Yunsheng sighed lightly and sat back in the car chair.

"Principal Kuang, to be honest, if Lu Yaowen really wants the best for the students in the housing estate, I will definitely support him 100%. Education is actually the industry that should least be divided into high and low. But the Eagles divide it so clearly and so drastically."

Li Yunzhi sighed lightly and said this sentence slowly.

That night, the news that Lu Yaowen summoned the principals of fourteen schools and wanted to buy shares in these schools and become the board of directors of these fourteen schools spread throughout Hong Kong Island at an extremely fast speed with the help of certain people, causing an uproar.

Lu Yaowen, the king of Hong Kong underworld, is a school director? Is he going to build a school for young and dangerous people? Will the students join He Liansheng seamlessly after graduation?
……

Governor's Residence, inside the Governor's Office.

"Why is it Lu Yaowen again? Is there no one else available on the mainland? Why does this guy have to do everything?"

Wei Yixin felt a little confused.

"Mr. Governor of Hong Kong, given Lu Yaowen's status, it is definitely a stupid move for him to get involved in education. This may not be a bad thing for us."

Chen Kangli, who was sitting opposite Wei Yixin, smiled slightly...

　There was a power outage at home today. I am very sorry for posting late.
