History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 426 Commissioner of the Governor
"How will Eastern Bank deal with it?" Ren, the lowest-status wage earner present, asked the most critical question: "He Dingxian is the boss of Eastern Bank, and most of the bank's shareholders are high-level police officers, ranging from British police officers to Chinese police officers."

"They're not going to sit back and watch a banking crisis happen."

"Moreover, all the black money embezzled by the police force flows to Eastern Bank, and no one knows how much money is in Eastern Bank's vault."

Xuansha, who was also educated by Mr. He, nodded approvingly and said, "Eastern Bank not only has money, but also guns. He Dingxian is not only the big boss of the Guangdong Provincial United Chamber of Commerce, but also a high-level police officer."

"Oriental Bank is also the first to invest in the real estate industry. It has already made money, and its investment style is relatively conservative."

"The capital pool is probably very thick."

Qi Yaolin nodded and said: "Yes, the financial war against the Chinese-funded banking industry, in the end, is actually fighting against Hang Seng and Dongfang Bank."

"Oriental Bank, as the leader of Chinese-funded banks, will certainly not sit idly by, but the financial war is a war without gunpowder, and it erupts silently in the flow of money. He Dingxian even wants to find someone to take revenge."

"Who can we find again?"

This is a real commercial war, and relying on force can only further amplify the panic of depositors.

"Politically, the top will also cover us up."

"I have communicated with the MAS."

Ren breathed a sigh of relief: "Since this is the case, Wharf can initiate a squeeze at any time."

"Since this is the case, I will wait for the Hang Seng Index to plummet and the market conditions of all Chinese-funded banks to be in crisis." Madden raised his glass and smiled, and saluted the four people: "Cheers, gentlemen."

He is ready to buy the bottom.

"cheers."

"cheers!"

Tai Kwun.

"Ding ding ding."

The phone rings.

He Dingxian was in uniform, holding a pen, and was dealing with official documents when he suddenly heard the phone ringing, he picked it up and asked, "By the side?"

"Ah Yin."

"A commissioner appointed by the Governor's Mansion came to the Anti-Corruption Office and asked to dispatch ten agents to work." Chen Li held the phone in his hand, and glanced at a ghost in the office area from time to time through a window.Although he was hiding in the office of the Anti-Corruption Superintendent in Tai Kwun, as the top three in the Anti-Corruption Office, it was impossible for him to be fooled by rumors in the department.

A white-skinned ghost in a black suit, bright leather shoes, and a capable demeanor is communicating with the Chief Superintendent of the Anti-Corruption Office, Hao Defu.

After reading the document, Hao Defu called to confirm that it was the document number of the Governor's Mansion. With a smile on his face, he was very attentive in selecting agents with the Governor's Commissioner.Chen Li was very sensitive to the dynamics of the Governor's Mansion, and would call Sir He as soon as something happened.

He Dingxian's heart skipped a beat, feeling that things were not so simple.

The Commissioner of the Governor itself is a very provocative appointment, not to mention being connected with the Anti-Corruption Office, which is really fascinating.

"Master."

"Keep an eye on it."

He instructed in a deep voice, and added: "I will ask Sir Hao to come to the office to meet me later."

"it is good."

After Chen Li finished answering, he hung up the phone, stood in front of the glass window with a cigarette in his mouth, exhaled the smoke, and looked out the window calmly.The governor's commissioner outside the window also saw him and grinned very politely.Hao Defu introduced to the commissioner: "Xie sir, that is the superintendent of the anti-corruption department, Sir Chen, who was awarded the gold medal of bravery by the police force not long ago."

"I know."

"He handled the corruption case of the deputy director of operations." Xie Faxin is a ghost with a mustache, deep forehead lines, fox-like eyes, and arrogance.

Two 10 minutes later.

Xie Faxin took ten detectives to work.

After half an hour.

Hao Defu and Chen immediately appeared in the office of the assistant director of Hong Kong Island.

Wearing uniform, He Dingxian fetched water for the two of them, put the cups on the table, sat on the sofa, raised his legs, leaned on the sofa with his right arm and asked, "What is the origin of that commissioner?"

"Former administrative director of the Governor's Office, now a member of the Financial Secretary, and a member of the Legislative Council, Hsieh Faxin." Hao Defu said like a treasure: "During World War II, he served in the army and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant. After the war, he served as an administrative officer in Africa. His parents are doctors of medicine, and his family has been practicing medicine for generations."

"Graduated from the University of Cambridge with a postgraduate degree."

He Dingxian was surprised and said, "It's a talent."

Hao Defu nodded: "He also worked as a manager of a steel factory. He understands economics and is very valued in the Department of Government Affairs."

The ominous premonition in He Dingxian's heart was very strong, and he said very vigilantly: "What are the people going to do?"

"for sure."

"It's about political purges."

Hao Defu said: "Only the Anti-Corruption Office in Hong Kong is qualified to investigate corruption crimes. As long as the police force does not take the initiative to act, even if the Governor wants to investigate a person's corruption, he has to use the legal authority of the police force to convict him. Bai sir appoints a commissioner to handle the affairs of the Anti-Corruption Office. Most likely, he does not trust the police force."

The authority of the governor-general, the emperor, is displayed here. Commissioners can be assigned to the disciplined forces and administrative departments at any time, and they can use manpower to borrow power.Of course, this is the simplest and easiest way, and the more complicated thing is to pass legislation and establish a new department.

All positions with the title of Commissioner, even temporary positions, have the right to report directly to the Governor, and are not under the jurisdiction of any department.

Commonly known as the imperial envoy.

"The authority of the anti-corruption office is limited to the investigation of disciplined forces or commercial crimes, and does not involve the bureaucracy of the administrative department." He Dingxian's expression was calm, but alarm bells rang in his heart: "Could it be that the wind of the clean government storm has begun to blow?"

"That's five years ahead of schedule."

Bai Liji didn't seem like someone who would take the initiative to initiate a political struggle, and the current situation might not be a good opportunity to take the police force seriously.

But the general situation is of course of reference value, but people often do not act according to logic and rigidity. History is full of coincidences, politics is all about gambles, stories must be rigid and logical, and reality has no code of conduct.

Even if He Dingxian felt very surprised, he had to cheer up and prepare for a fierce fight in the face of the storm.

The storm comes faster.

The wind is getting stronger!
He turned his eyes to Chen Li on the left, and Chen Li put down his water glass, and said softly, "Don't worry."

"The nail is already in."

He Dingxian nodded: "OK."

"At least we have to figure out what they want to do, so that we can prepare one by one. It's best not to use the police force, so that nothing happens. Otherwise, Bai Liji's fate will be even more pitiful than Ge Hongliang's."

"This is our future office. You will spend at least two months here." Xie Faxin locked the iron door, walked to a desk, picked up a stack of white papers, and turned around to distribute them to the ten anti-corruption police officers who stood listening to orders. Every time a police officer came, he would stop for a moment and look directly at the police officer's face: "During the mission, the food will be brought by a special person, and the clothes will be washed by a special person. He was prosecuted for the crime of leaking secrets and dereliction of duty."

A trace of uneasiness clearly flashed across the faces of the police officers. After receiving the blank paper, their movements were all awkward.

Xie Faxin ignored it and continued: "The ten desks below are your desks. Choose a desk at random and sit down. First, write down the details about the corruption case of Deputy Director of Operations Barton. No matter how much you know, write them all out."

"The only thing you have to think about is the details, and the only thing you have to do is to record the details! You don't need to be responsible for the rest of the things. If the implementation goes smoothly, the Governor's Palace will directly sign your award order."

"The most important thing on Hong Kong Island is to serve the Governor, do you understand?" He roared, and the police officers at the scene were shocked, and they all shouted: "Understood!"

It has to be said that when working in a confined space, people's behavior is extremely easy to be manipulated.

Just like the brainwashing of MLM organizations, authority will be infinitely magnified.Repeating a wrong fact a hundred or a thousand times may falsify people's cognition.After finishing the lecture, Xie Faxin did not leave the office immediately, but sat on a chair and personally supervised the police officers to write out the details.

The police officers all knew that the deputy director's corruption case was very sensitive, but under the deterrence of the commissioner, they had to do something about it. Xie Faxin was dissatisfied with everything he wrote at the beginning.After several days or more than ten days of scolding and rewriting, the police officers were tortured to the point of going crazy, scratching their heads, digging out a little bit of detail, and even adding their own imaginations.

Although Xie Faxin was dissatisfied with the things written by the police officers, every document was accepted as ordered, and a box would be transported away every day, and handed over to his staff for archiving and intelligence analysis.Aside from the pain, the only consolation for the police officers is that the food is exquisite, with a lot of fish and meat, and the dishes are not repeated every day.

From time to time, Gui Lao invited them to have afternoon tea.

The entire office rented a factory building on the first floor for temporary work. Not only is the location spacious, each person also has an independent room to rest. In addition to the bed cabinet, the room is also equipped with a TV and radio, and they leave work on time.

The police officers can't do anything under this kind of treatment. They can only work hard. After work, they gather to play cards and discuss with each other what they have written.

"No news yet?" Half a month later, He Dingxian sat in the office, lit a cigarette, and stared at Hao Defu.Hao Defu has been promoted to the head of the anti-corruption room many years ago.But because the anti-corruption room is an offending job, the ceiling is extremely hard, and it has not been promoted for many years.

After all, the chief superintendent goes up to the division chief level, and it is difficult for most people to cross this threshold without making great achievements in politics.He also wants to work hard to show his performance through some things, hoping to be valued by Mr. He and jump out of the anti-corruption room in the future.

At this time, seeing Sir He's sharp eyes sweeping over him, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and said, "The detectives who have been transferred are confirmed to be in Wanchai District, working on the third floor of Fengsheng Building, but the police officers have been isolated in the building, and the only few times they go out are in small groups, led by the Governor's Commissioner himself."

"It's not about doing things when I come out, but for shopping and taking a walk to see the scenery. It's hard to get useful information."

He Dingxian was not in a hurry or annoyed when he heard the words, he just said: "The man surnamed Xie really has the style of the Military Intelligence Department. He knows that he is an officer of the Financial Secretary, but he doesn't know. He thought he was a secret agent and did this with me?"

"Set fire to force people out."

He Dingxian picked up a bag of tea, opened it with scissors, and poured it into the spout slowly.

Hao Defu's heart trembled, and he agreed in a solemn voice: "Yes!"

"Sir!"
