History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 436 Before Dawn
When Jian Baoning walked downstairs, a Mercedes with a police license plate had already parked on the side of the road, he opened the door and sat in the back row, and said with a straight face: "He sir, you are very fast. "

"Don't dare to influence Sir Jian to go home for dinner." He Dingxian glanced at his watch and told the driver: "Repulse Bay, send Sir Jian back."

Jian Baoning looked at the dead body covered with a white cloth on the side of the road, covering the face. The police force has sealed off the scene and is about to start cleaning it up.

"In the interim office, the governor's commissioner was shot in the street."

"Things are not going well."

He Dingxian leaned on the seat without changing his face, and said calmly: "The governor has to swallow his anger even if he gritted his teeth, otherwise, the Chinese police will oppose him, and the British high-level officials will also oppose him. To be honest, I really want to see it." Look at this scene."

The police seized power, took advantage of the Star Ferry incident, the governor seized power, and expanded the Patton case.

This series of events was intertwined and continued to the struggle between British capital and Huaxing, and a new disciplined force also surfaced.

ICAC!

In fact, Xie Faxin, the anti-corruption commissioner appointed by the governor, was actually the first ICAC commissioner, and the anti-corruption task force was the prototype of the ICAC. Between the mid-60s and the 70s, there were so many disturbances .

In the final analysis, it is the confrontation between the Chinese and the ghosts around the economy and politics.

He was in the middle of the times, involved in the storm, and the deeper he understood, the more he knew that there is no revolution without bloodshed. If Hong Kong Island has the final say from the ghosts to the Chinese, it is not just waiting for 97.If the Chinese on Hong Kong Island do not work hard, after 97, they will also be infiltrated into a sieve.

Since He Dingxian has caused the butterfly effect and made the struggle more fierce, he should not be afraid.

change!

To go deeper.

"I'm not feeling well now." Jian Baoning said without pretending, "Killing the Commissioner of the Governor is considered a prestige for the police force, but it has already stepped on the political red line. The Governor's Office must have a deep opinion of me. It's pointless to continue."

"I'm going to ask the governor to resign."

He Dingxian was not surprised, but somewhat regretful: "If you resign, then resign."

"Resign with dignity, retire with honor, and the police fund will give you a pension."

"Hahaha."

Jian Baoning laughed loudly, paused, and said again: "Finally, what else can I do for you?"

Taiping Mountain.

When Bai Liji received the news that Xie Faxin was shot dead in the street, he smashed the report in front of him on the table, and his anti-corruption will became more and more firm: "I will re-appoint a commissioner to continue investigating the corruption of the police force!"

Just imagine how the Hong Kong government will react when the future ICAC commissioner is shot in the street, how angry the chief executive will be, and how angry Bai Liji is now.Although Xie Faxin is not an anti-corruption commissioner in the legal sense, he is an anti-corruption commissioner in Bai Liji's eyes. The act of shooting in the street did touch his bottom line.

He expected that Xie Faxin would encounter retaliation from the police force, and the case handling would be very difficult, and he didn't even intend to let Xie Faxin really carry on the case.But it was far from expected that the police force would react so quickly and with such ruthless methods, as if the word anti-corruption would drive all the policemen in Hong Kong crazy.

Originally, they would investigate Jian Baoning, then deal with the police force, show each other's cards, negotiate conditions, and end the investigation when the sincerity is enough. By then, the strength of the police force will be preserved, and the ex-officer will lose face.

It took about the same amount of time, when a wave of runs appeared, and the Chinese capital that should be reaped was obtained from the four major foreign banks.The two sides will return to the way they were in peace before, and then endure for two years, and the governor's term will end.

But the police force didn't talk to him at all, and didn't play with him, they just flipped the table when they came up!

Is this ok!

The assistant secretary, He Yining, had a cautious expression, and carefully reminded: "Sir, three of the previous thirty anti-corruption team members died, and the remaining twelve reported that they hoped to be transferred back to the original department. The rest may also be transferred to the original department." Terrified."

"The investigation team is already useless and needs to be redeployed for training."

Bai Liji heard that the Chief Secretary for Administration was reminding him that he was not strong enough and prepared enough, and he had no bargaining chip to fight with the police force.

"I know."

"But the anti-corruption task force cannot be disbanded, and it must be developed into a permanent organization." He was not ready for a bloody merger with the police force at the beginning, and he seized the opportunity to deal ruthless blows. a reliable force.

But the contradiction has intensified, he no longer thinks about short-term matters, but plans for the long-term.

This is also the negative impact of being cruel, but if this negative impact will come sooner or later, it will almost have no impact.

Bai Liji said: "Fifty young employees will be transferred from various government offices, sent to the Military Intelligence Department to receive formal training, and then a new batch of capable officials will be selected. I will personally select the next anti-corruption commissioner."

"At the same time, appoint the former deputy team leader as the acting team leader, and temporarily not grant special commissioner privileges, just be responsible for managing the anti-corruption task force."

He Yining could clearly hear Bai Liji's dislike for the interest groups in the police force, and he had already sensed the change in the political wind, so he couldn't help but feel alarm bells ringing in his heart.

"Yes, sir!"

"Don't suspend the investigation on Jian Baoning, but don't hold another hearing. I signed a property freezing folder and took it to the bank and commercial office to freeze all assets under Jian Baoning's personal name." Bai Liji Going back to the desk, opened the drawer, and took out a document that had already been signed.

The document that was supposed to be handed over to Xie Faxin could only be handed over to the assistant secretary for execution.

"Handle Xie sir's funeral well."

Bai Liji said.

"Please rest assured, sir." He Yining made a long bow, turned and left with the document.

Ge Bai, Kunxian, Skeming, Hao Defu, and even the retired Yifu and other British high-level officials were greatly relieved when they received the news of Xie Faxin's death in their mansions and villas.Regardless of whether the governor has any further moves, anyway, after this shot is fired, the next thing will be borne by the Chinese.

They have one foot out of the body, and the situation is very good.

If they can't celebrate publicly as a policeman, they all want to hold a banquet, exchange glasses, and thank Sir He.

The superintendents at the constitutional committee level and the ghosts at the middle levels of the police stations all received calls from the chief one after another, and they immediately calmed down when they heard the news.In the morning, because of the news that the former director was investigated, people were panicked, but in the evening, people's hearts were already cleaned up.

Who is afraid of a dead man?
Since there is nothing to be afraid of the dead, then what is there to be afraid of!
At worst, let them all become dead.

Before a high-ranking high-ranking person is actually convicted of corruption, no one will think that anti-corruption investigations are a threat. Inspector Hua of each district police station of the police force, the person in charge of the operation department, After receiving the message, he also settled down.

Although the Chinese police officers have not uttered a word and met once since the incident happened in the morning, it does not mean that they do not exist.For many things, the Chinese prefer to wait and see, keep silent and watch with their eyes.

If you ignore them because they don't speak, then they will definitely remind you at a critical moment, remember why there are such a group of people in TMD, and regret how dare you forget such a group of people.

He Dingxian finished his work with the police force, sent Sir Jian home, and then drove back to Wyndham Street.When the game of the police force took place, the financial market was not idle. First of all, the Hang Seng Bank and the Bank of East Asia had already experienced runs, and they were expanding step by step.

As a result, the cash pools of the two banks, Hang Seng and East Asia, are falling rapidly. Not only can they no longer undertake the task of bailing out the market, but merchants may also need blood transfusions to the two banks.Fortunately, thanks to the powerful rescue of the Chamber of Commerce, the run crisis has been much smaller than in history.

It didn't take a few days to convert Hang Seng to the point where it wanted to sell its shares.In particular, Huazi Bank paid for the acquisition of Yuedong Trust, and the positive feedback effect was extremely strong.The main reason is that the three banks acted like they were rich and inexhaustible, which gave the bosses and merchants a sense of trust.In the midst of this kind of run on, it is impossible to spend more than 2 million yuan to acquire an insolvent bank without sufficient funds.

And once trust is generated, the run on storm will begin to decay until the banking industry returns to normal order.It can be said that now is the night before dawn, the darkest time is about to pass, and then the sun will rise, the sun will be in the sky, and it is time to go back.

Of course, the whole process needs a period of relaxation. The run and trust are born at the same time. The longer the Chinese-funded banks last, the more trust will come back.

"It has been 24 hours since no Chinese-funded bank went bankrupt."

He Dingxian is sitting at home, drinking the bird's nest cooked by his wife, holding a report in his hand: "As long as there are no more bankruptcies, one week is enough to get through the crisis, and 48 hours from now, the daily run amount should decrease exponentially .”

Chu Yunnan was wearing a nightgown, sitting across from her, and said with concern, "Can you breathe a sigh of relief?"

"I am relieved for the bosses of the Chinese capital. As for me, I never scare the ghosts." He Dingxian put down the report confidently, concentrated on eating bird's nest, and began to appreciate his wife's natural beauty with free time.

Once people have troubles, it is easy to ignore the beauty around them. Once the mood is smooth, everything is interesting.

Chu Yunnan waited until her husband had finished eating the bird's nest, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, walked to the sink and turned on the faucet. Just after cleaning a bowl, she felt a big dragon's head coming up, pretending to be in the sink. He took a sip, but his heart was filled with anticipation, and he secretly rejoiced.

He Dingxian supported her waist, put her upper body down, lifted the silk on the partition, and taught his wife to wash the dishes.The whole process is simple and easy to understand, verbal and verbal
the next day.

Early in the morning.

He Dingxian received a call from Li Guanchun from the Bank of East Asia. Boss Li made a long story short, intending to borrow [-] million funds for use.

"At nine o'clock in the morning, go to the Oriental Bank store in Wanchai to collect the money."

After breakfast, he stood by the landscape glass in the hall of the villa, looked at the lush bonsai in the garden, and exhaled: "I will tell Ah Geng to prepare it for you in advance."

"Thank you He Sheng."

Li Chunguan's tone was grateful and respectful.

"It's nothing, everyone is a director of the chamber of commerce, and we are in trouble together, so naturally we have to help." He Dingxian put a cigarette in his mouth: "Okay, let's not talk about it, I'm rushing to work, and I need money to talk about it."

"I'll definitely feed you!"
