History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 462
"Well done, why did you resign?" Chen Li didn't even bother to read the resignation report, got up and took out a cigarette, and handed it to Lu Minghua: "I'm planning to promote you."

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Lu Minghua took the cigarette, and said proudly: "I don't feel comfortable wearing the dog skin of the royal police."

"Ok?"

Chen Li looked surprised, and lit a cigarette for him: "It's just for me to eat, why are you so arrogant and arrogant, and look down on all the people in the police force in Hong Kong."

"If no one is a policeman, I would like to be a policeman. If being a policeman is just to make a living, I don't want to." Lu Minghua said: "When I was admitted to the police force, I hoped to contribute to social security and change the third-class Chinese in the market. The status quo of first-class ghosts, black and white collusion, government and business collusion, unfortunately, Uncle Li, I can't do it."

"In the past, the police force had the license plate of the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and I could comfort myself that I was working hard for the city. Now, the police force has the license plate of the Royal Police Force, which reminds me all the time that I am a person who has been arrested. The ruling third class!"

"I am proud to be a dog for the colonists to survive!"

Chen Lici smiled kindly, nodded in approval and said, "You have backbone!"

Lu Minghua took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the table: "Uncle Li, this is the fee I received in three years, 3 yuan. I'm sorry, I failed your expectations. Thank you for treating me over the past few years." care."

"Andy Lau has it in mind."

Chen Li explored the soot, tapped the envelope twice, and sighed: "To realize your dreams, it's a mistake to come to the police force. After all, even me, an anti-corruption police superintendent, spends money every month, and the cases I investigate are all political crimes." fight, retaliate."

"But what do you eat when you leave the police force?"

"It's hard to have a job that earns so much and has a gun, so no one dares to bully you." In addition to monetary benefits, hidden benefits are also indispensable in the police force. Just walking on the street with a gun will make a big difference in status. same.

"I want to be a lawyer."

Lu Minghua said: "Use the law as a weapon to change the world!"

Chen Lipin smoked a cigarette, taking one puff after another, staring at Lu Minghua: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Ha ha."

Lu Minghua smiled lightly, heard the meaning of Chen Li's words, and explained: "Uncle Li, how dare I touch the police force, and it's not that I haven't worked in the police force before. It's just that I want to use my status as a lawyer to engage in politics. For the Chinese, lawyers are the profession that can accumulate prestige and fame the fastest."

"If I have the opportunity to solve a few big cases, and then get admitted to the third department as a government official, I think I can also have the opportunity to change Hong Kong Island!"

Chen Li narrowed his eyes slightly, seeming to be bright, and began to respect Lu Minghua's thoughts.

"it is good."

Chen Li picked up the envelope on the table, put it in the drawer, and said, "I've accepted the money, so you don't have to worry about it. However, take this bank note, and it's my support for the ideals of young people. As long as you don't forget , You came out of the police force."

Lu Minghua is not a person who hates evil, if he can't stand a little darkness in the world, he won't be able to stay in the police force for three years, but Lu Minghua is obviously a smart, courageous, ambitious young man. The police force with titles will not have much room for development politically, simply changing the track, not only has a clear idea, but also has more prospects.

Of course, it is more difficult to be a lawyer, and I didn't earn much as a job at the beginning.

Without hesitation, Lu Minghua stepped forward to take the bank note, stood at attention and saluted: "Thank you, sir!"

"Pick up your things."

"Let's get off work."

Chen Li waved his hand, and after Lu Minghua turned to leave, he cursed in a low voice, "You brat!"

"He's an ambitious man again."

Ten years ago, he had encountered this kind of person in the police force, and it would not be surprising to meet him again.However, Lu Minghua's conditions are much better than those of the pretty boys ten years ago. Maybe he really has a chance to make his way in the political arena, but young people don't understand how important it is to have a gun!

"The road is chosen by oneself, so let's go by ourselves." He signed a name on the document, and then submitted it to the personnel department for approval.

Chen Li was moved for a moment, but finally shook his head: "It's better to give charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake. If you don't let that brat hit his head and break his blood, how can you remember human kindness?"

"Not urgent."

Office of the Assistant Commissioner.

"Boss."

Lei Luo pushed the door open and entered the room, opened his mouth and shouted, "What can I order?"

"I'm fine, can I ask you to sit down? Gentleman Lei." He Dingxian stood up from the desk with a smile, and went to the reception area to pick up the kettle: "What do you want to drink?"

"Cold water will do."

Lei Luo smiled bitterly: "I drank too much two days ago, my mouth was dry, and I haven't regained my strength."

"Will it affect catching thieves?"

He Dingxian poured a glass of cold water, and Lei Luo quickly shook his head: "No, there was a big case in West Kowloon yesterday. A batch of black powder was found in Mong Kok. It was suspected that it was used by rioters to make explosives. Three mainlanders were arrested on the spot. The explosives were harmlessly destroyed by an agent."

"I've heard about it."

He Dingxian nodded: "Three buildings were blown up. Fortunately, there were no civilian casualties, but the Kowloon area is facing a lawsuit for property compensation of [-] Hong Kong dollars."

"Uh, a little money." Lei Luo laughed dumbly: "I have already paid for it out of my own pocket. I didn't expect that I can't hide anything from the boss."

"Chen Jiaju did it."

He Dingxian asked with interest: "You are a small captain in West Kowloon."

"Boss, you're right that you even have Aju, they were awarded the title by you at the police academy." Lei Luo came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Chen Jiaju happened to pass by while on patrol, and he only brought a It is not easy for two subordinates to win this case."

"Speaking of which, he also has a dog's nose, and he can smell a little gunpowder."

He Dingxian could hear that his tone was mostly admiration, he was in the disciplined army, he was daring to fight, and he was capable of handling affairs, so he was obviously more liked by his boss.Chiefs hope that their subordinates have high force values, and they have someone when they need to employ them.

In contrast, if there is a little trouble, it doesn't hurt that the boss can handle it.Especially in the stage before the police force was restructured, but whether it can be promoted is another matter.In fact, Lei Luo had already transferred Chen Jiaju to his side as his immediate team leader.

"That would be a surprise. Sir Ge will give you a reward for handing in the case report." He Dingxian said with a smile: "I called you here, but I'm actually talking about the candidate for the Chief Detective of the New Territories. To be officially listed."

"The Office of Inspector General Zonghua is located in the Tsuen Wan Department. Who do you plan to appoint?"

Lei Luo took a sip of water, put down his glass, and said without thinking, "Sir Zeng."

"No problem." He Dingxian knew that Lei Luo would definitely find positions for Zeng Shaoke and Cai Zhaoguang, two sworn brothers, although he had wanted to bring them up to work in Tai Kwun before, but Zeng Shaoke and Cai Zhaoguang both secretly Say no.

After all, being in Tai Kwun is not as comfortable as being in control of a district, unless you can be promoted to superintendent.

And He Dingxian, as the big brother among sworn brothers, has no reason to stop his brother from being transferred, and he readily agreed: "Tomorrow the director will issue an appointment order and transfer Sir Zeng to work in the New Territories."

"Thank you boss."

Lei Luo showed joy: "After all, the New Territories is a large area. It's better to let my brothers take care of it than leave it to the younger ones."

"Ah."

"If you need help, ask Sir Zeng to make a report at any time. Funds, equipment, and everything that can be approved will be approved." He Dingxian said cautiously: "The New Territories is a restless place after all. You must be careful when doing things."

"We understand."

Lei Luo fully agreed.

"Pray sir, Standard Chartered Matheson Bank suffered heavy losses in the six or seven stock market disasters, as high as [-] million Hong Kong dollars." Standard Chartered executive Charlie De said with a sad face, "The head office has already planned to replace the senior executive to take over my position."

Holding a glass of red wine, Qi Yaolin said bitterly: "HSBC also lost a lot of blood, and in a short period of time, they can't even raise the stock price. Not only did they sit and watch several large British-funded companies fall into the hands of the Chinese, but even Wharf suffered a lot. Hostile takeover."

Fortunately, HSBC has raised a number of Chinese-owned factories, and in the process of growing Chinese-owned factories, they picked up some carrion.

Taikoo Sassoon sighed: "Bai sir's form and style are too weak. The economy has developed to the present, and the British capital has not grown stronger, but the Chinese capital has become stronger day by day. The reason why the Chinese capital was able to use the June [-] incident to create a stock market crash and harvest the British capital, The essence is that the governor has insufficient control over the executive branch."

Charlie nodded, already filled with resentment, and said: "I will report to the head office when I return to London, put pressure on the Colonial Department, and let the ancestral family replace a powerful governor to come to Hong Kong."

Due to the colony reclamation and water pumping economy, a large number of foreign firms are needed, which has caused the colonial department to be controlled by foreign firms since ancient times. It is not nonsense to change a governor.But Qi Yaolin knew in his heart that Bai Liji had just quelled the June [-] incident, and the ancestors definitely wanted to reward, not punish.You must know that in the eyes of the ancestors, the June [-] incident was not caused by the economy, but a deliberate provocation from the north.One can draw two different conclusions from personal experience and from a macro perspective.

The series of chain reactions that led to the June [-]th incident alone were enough for the Colonial Department to write more than a dozen academic papers. How could the high-ranking ministers be able to see through it at a glance?Moreover, as a qualified political figure, Bai Liji is responsible for all his personal behaviors towards political goals.

He is not loud and strong, not because he is angry, but because the environment does not allow him to be strong.But Qi Yaolin did not refute Charlie De's words, and even voiced his support, saying that HSBC would also respond to the head office.

Because replacing the governor is not the goal, as long as it can put pressure on the governor and force the governor to be more radical in administration, it is in line with the development strategy of the foreign bank.Even if the governor's administrative method is the most beneficial to the federal colonization, in a capitalist society, capital and the government are separated, and the two do not pursue a common goal, but only pursue their own interests.

Why not fight an economic war, but a political one?Because if you can't win politically, you are doomed to lose economically!
A month later.

Taiping Mountain.

Bai Liji took a long sigh after answering the call from the Colonial Secretary, then turned his head and said, "At seven o'clock in the evening, I asked the general managers of the four major foreign companies to have dinner together at the half hotel."

"Yes, sir!"
