Hong Kong: Rise of the Kings.

Chapter 83 0083【Double fees】

"Detective Lei is here!"

"Hello, Brother Luo!"

There was a commotion in the crowd.

Lei Luo came, surrounded by Zhu Youzai, Chen Xijiu and others.

Yan Xiong came forward with a group of Hua detectives, and was about to speak, but Lei Luo ignored them, and instead hooked his hands at Du Yongxiao: "Ah Xiao, come here!"

In jealousy, Du Yongxiao stepped forward with a smile: "Brother Luo, what's the matter?"

Lei Luo smiled, took out two keys from his arms and put them in his palms: "Hey, I never give gifts easily, you choose the same for these two keys!"

Du Yongxiao looked at the two keys in surprise, both were copper keys, about the same size.

Others also looked curious.

"Brother Luo, what do you mean?"

Lei Luo wiped his hooked nose: "It means that one belongs to Tanglou and the other belongs to the office. Now you can get fame and wealth at your fingertips!"

"Wow, Brother Luo wants to give fame and fortune to Xiaozixiao?"

"A tenement building, an office, it's so hard to choose!"

Everyone around screamed.

Yan Xiong felt very uncomfortable when he heard that, Lei Luo was obviously robbing people openly by doing so.

Although he and Du Yongxiao were not on the right track, they still had a "teacher-student" relationship in name, and even if he arranged an office for Du Yongxiao, he should be the one to decide!

Take a step back.

If Yan Xiong keeps quiet this time, and Du Yongxiao accepts Lei Luo's favor in front of everyone, then what will Yan Xiong do in the future?
"Haha, Brother Luo is really generous!" Yan Xiong stepped forward before Du Yongxiao could speak, "But A Luo is my subordinate anyway, so even if you send him to the building or to the office, it should be arranged by me, the boss! Here On behalf of Ah Xiao, I would like to thank Inspector Lei for his concern!"

Lei Luo first glanced at Du Yongxiao.

Du Yongxiao smiled at him and said nothing.

Lei Luo turned his face and glanced at Yan Xiong lightly: "Master Yan, I'm listening, do you dare to repeat what you just said?"

"Ahem, what do you mean? Why don't I dare?" Yan Xiong looked at the people around, and everyone looked at him, "Isn't it just a tenement house, how much money can it cost?" He was planning to build one in the New Territories. Up to three or four thousand.

"Then do you know that I send Biandu Tanglou?"

"Biandu? Could it be Tsim Sha Tsui?"

"Guess right!"

thump!
Yan Xiong almost fell down!
Tenement houses in the New Territories cost three to four thousand, but Tsim Sha Tsui costs seven to eighty thousand!
Lei Luo, big deal!

"Wow, Brother Luo is so sharp!"

"That's right, it's Tsim Sha Tsui tenement building!"

Everyone looked at Du Yongxiao enviously. People like them who are Hua inspectors and police chiefs have never been treated like this --- they can be sent upstairs by Lei Luo. If they say it, they will definitely be blown away.

Ji Shichang, the three chief inspectors of Kowloon, and others are even more jealous at this moment. Du Yongxiao is too young, like the rising sun, shining brightly, making them overshadowed. If things go on like this, where will they be in Kowloon in the future?
Du Yongxiao did not expect that Lei Luo would be so generous. Seventy to eighty thousand tenements are not a small amount of money in this era. He was deciding whether to accept it or reject it. A loud voice said: "What are you doing? Have money but no place to spend it? Give it away. Ghost tenement house!"

"Master Fu is here!"

Everyone gave way.

Chief Inspector Liu Fu of Zonghua was obese and looked like a Maitreya Buddha. He came here accompanied by his nephew Liu He.

Liu Fu walked up to Lei Luo.

Lei Luo: "Master Fu——
Without further ado, Liu Fu stretched out his fat hand and grabbed Lei Luo's two keys: "It's a meeting, confiscate it first!"

……

In the conference room, Liu Fuduan sat at the head, and almost all of the 27 detectives in Hong Kong were present.

Lei Luo, Lan Gang, Yan Xiong, and Han Sen sat down next to Liu Fu in order.Then sit down according to the rankings of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories.

Du Yongxiao is in charge of Nathan Road, coupled with his recent popularity, he was actually arranged by Liu Fu behind the three detectives in Kowloon and in front of the big eyes of Yuen Long detectives, which made big eyes look at Du Yongxiao with hatred in his eyes.

Du Yongxiao ignored the big-eyed "sorrowful" eyes, and carefully looked at the two detectives, Lan Gang and Han Sen, who had never met before.

I have to say that among the four major detectives, Lei Luo is already very handsome, but he is not as handsome as Lan Gang.

In addition to being heroic, Lei Luo also has a hint of sinisterness.

Lan Gang was different. He was in his thirties, wearing a suit, with a fit body and sharp eyebrows. He was completely a male model type. From the moment he entered the conference room, he spoke decently and looked suave.

Han Sen was a little older, about forty years old, taciturn and dull, but when Du Yongxiao looked at him, he raised his head inadvertently, and the light in his eyes flashed away.

"You bastards, weren't you very annoying outside just now? It was a treat and a building! Now, why are you dumb and silent?" Liu Fu looked at the crowd with a displeased expression, "I just asked you to come back next month. To charge double fees in order to celebrate the Queen's birthday is not to let you sell your sons and daughters, and your family will be ruined, what are you doing with a dead face?"

Everyone smoked vigorously, and the meeting room was filled with smoke.

"Hey, I know that it's hard to collect the fee now, and now you have to double the size, you also have difficulties! But you have to think about it for me, I will retire in two years, and the queen's year is only once a year It's your birthday, you guys should save some face!"

"No, Master Fu, you also know the situation. Although our Chinese inspectors are very powerful, those associations and gangs are not vegetarians. They are forced too fast, and they are afraid that they will jump the wall in a hurry!" Yan Xiong said with a bitter face.

"Yes, Inspector Yan is right! For example, the mangy dog ​​in my jurisdiction is in the noodle shop business and has always been very disciplined, but now the sudden double, [-] to [-], I am so embarrassed!" Inspector Yau Ma Tei Ji Shichang said.

"Hey, it's better where you have plenty of oil and water. Unlike me, I can only collect cow dung in Yuen Long! To be honest, I can't collect all the regular fees every month, and now they have to double. Why don't you let me Die!" Inspector Yuen Long complained with wide eyes.

"You guys only think about yourself, and me, who cares about me? Those ghosts above want to celebrate the queen's birthday, and they want me to get a certificate of honor. If you don't pay the double fee, you'll get out! After much deliberation, I'll get out. Why don't you get out!" Liu Fu's tone suddenly became severe, "Did you hear clearly? I'm not discussing with you, but ordering!"

The audience was silent, resentment overflowed.

The four major detectives exchanged glances, one word, difficult!

Only Du Yongxiao's mouth curled up, his expression was half a smile, but he was a little excited inside, this is an opportunity!
As a person who has experienced it, Du Yongxiao clearly knows that the fees in this era are chaotic, not to mention anything else, even if you open a tea restaurant, you have to pay five protection fees, including military uniforms, plain clothes, fire protection, food bureaus, and associations.If your business has something to do with shipping, you have to pay the marine police a protection fee.

According to the rules, on the first day of every month, the relevant departments will send people to collect them from one street to another store, because they can only be collected once a month, and any private extortion is "violating the rules", so paying money has become a rule , this money is called the "fee".

There are too many intermediary procedures for charging fees. Often, many people who charge fees use the excuse that they celebrate their own birthdays, mothers’ birthdays, wives and concubines’ birthdays, and even family dog’s birthdays. They all ask for more red envelopes.What's more, the two of them went to pay the fee together and collected too much, and added the extra twenty-one to five, and kept their pockets privately.

This chaotic and disorderly way of charging continued until Lei Luo took office as Chief Inspector General Hua.

In order to earn more money, Lei Luo drastically reformed the charging system, integrating the original three departments of military uniforms, plain clothes, and firefighting, and collecting fees uniformly. One size fits all.

In this way, not only has the guest-host relationship been maintained to the greatest extent, but some of them who are corrupt and greedy have been shielded, so that the monthly fees charged have tripled.

Lei Luo also relied on this achievement to firmly secure the position of Chief Chinese Inspector and become a rare Chinese police boss in Hong Kong.

Lei Luo's reform actually borrowed from the "one whip" in Zhang Juzheng's land tax reform in the Ming Dynasty.

In a word-
Simplify the complexity and make it consistent!
