Chapter 450 I want billion!
The bloody war, fighting and killing will never really stop as long as there is profit driving it.
And the community will exist forever.
However, if it weren't for Lin Zehao, none of the many wealthy people in Hong Kong would be willing to improve the treatment of their employees, let alone consider their employees even a little bit.
"Oh, maybe I really shouldn't get involved in this matter..."
Chen Guoqiang's words just now did not shake Chen Jiaju, but Amei's simple statement made the ideals he had always adhered to begin to crumble, and even have a tendency to break a little.
At this time, Ah Mei, who had been extremely excited, also noticed that Chen Jiaju was abnormal and asked, "Jiaju, what's going on?"
"You've been looking unhappy ever since you got your promotion. Are you hiding something from me?"
"Didn't we agree at the beginning that we would face everything together?"
Faced with Amei's aggressiveness, Chen Jiaju had no choice but to reveal the full price of the promotion.
After listening quietly, Amei was like a powder keg that was lit and exploded immediately!
"Chen Jiaju, check your conscience. What did Boss Lin do wrong?"
"Yes, most of the citizens of Hong Kong Island know that Boss Lin was born into a gang, but he didn't want to be that way. Who doesn't want to be the son of a wealthy man or the second generation of an official?"
"Boss Lin built such a huge business from scratch, but he didn't collude with those wealthy people to exploit ordinary people like us!"
Ah Mei spoke word by word, becoming more and more excited, with tears flickering in her eyes. "Tell me, if you put a good man like Boss Lin in jail by mistake, would you be worthy of me? Would you be worthy of the millions of Hong Kong Islanders who are working hard to make progress?"
"Don't forget, although you are a policeman, you are also a policeman for those foreigners. Don't be a running dog of foreigners and deal with your own people in Hong Kong Island!"
Although Amei didn't understand too many things, she knew that Lin Zehao was really good to their group. Unlike those people who only knew how to talk, all the benefits were reflected in the media and reports, but in reality there was not even a hair.
Chen Jiaju let out a long sigh, said nothing, just stood up and walked towards the door.
Amei just crossed her arms and had no intention of chasing after him. There were some things he still needed to figure out on his own.
After Lin Zehao returned to Hong Kong Island, he first inspected the conditions of his territories to calm the morale of his troops and at the same time sent a signal to the outside world.
Just when everything was going according to plan, a big news came out.
The current Governor of Hong Kong, Edward Youde, died of a sudden heart attack while on a foreign visit.
This news came too suddenly for the Hong Kong government, as there had never been a precedent of a governor dying unexpectedly.
Coupled with the sensitive situation at the time, all kinds of conspiracy theories were flying around and spreading at an extremely alarming speed!
After the news was reported back to London, after an emergency discussion in the House of Parliament, the then Chief Secretary of Hong Kong Island, Chung Yat-kit, was ordered to be the acting governor to temporarily stabilize the situation in Hong Kong Island.
Hong Kong Island, Governor's Palace.
After Zhong Yiji read out the order from London, he sat down on the seat that originally belonged to the governor.
He looked around and felt that the conference room, which had originally been boring, actually had a sense of freshness.
It seems that under the same sky, the scenery you see is indeed very different depending on your location.
"I am deeply saddened by the incident involving Governor Youde, but everyone is aware of the current situation. We do not have time to waste on people and things of the past."
"Now we are almost certain that the reason why this news is spreading more and more outrageous is because there is an invisible force behind it!"
"As the governing body of Hong Kong Island, I hope everyone can respond quickly, especially the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force, which is a law enforcement agency, and should set an absolute example and take the lead."
"Director Yan, do you have confidence?"
The previous Commissioner of Police, Hon Yee-lai, was used as a scapegoat because of Lin Zehao's public lawsuit against the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force and the turbulent times, so he resigned voluntarily.
The current top cop in the police force is called Yan Liguo. He has a very good personal resume and it can be said that he has been engaged in police work for most of his life.
He joined the army in 1948 and was demobilized two years later to join the London Police Force.
In 1969, he was appointed Chief Superintendent of Police and was later transferred to Anguilla, West Indies, as head of the police force. He was then transferred back to China on official business to be in charge of the Disciplinary Division of the London Police Force.
He was appointed Commander in 1972, Assistant Commissioner of Police in 1975 and Commissioner of Police for England and Wales in 1979. In 1983, he was transferred to Hong Kong Island to serve as Deputy Commissioner of Police. It was obvious that he was the designated successor to the top boss.
If normal procedures are followed, Han Yi-li should be able to officially step down next year, and Yan Liguo will take over as the new president.
However, because of Lin Zehao, Han Yili was treated as a discarded pawn by his superiors and had to resign early in order to save the face of the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force.
"Reporting to the Governor, as a member of the Royal Hong Kong Island Police, I certainly have confidence!"
Yan Liguo spoke in a decisive tone, looking very confident!
Having worked in the police system for most of his life, he should have this confidence and deserves it!
This time, he took up the position of the top leader, and naturally wanted to achieve some results.
It's just that due to certain policies above, he can only turn a blind eye and a deaf ear to certain situations.
But now that he has the opportunity to intervene, Yan Liguo naturally does not intend to continue like this. He plans to take advantage of the situation and bring out the trouble!
Zhong Yijie gave some instructions to the heads of various departments, which can be said to be a full display of the power of the Governor of Hong Kong.
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Yan Liguo rushed to the police headquarters building and began to call a meeting with his subordinates.
Some of the subordinates were clearly not used to the new top boss' decisive work style, resulting in several people not showing up at the meeting time.
Fortunately, Yan Liguo didn't care too much and didn't seem to get angry.
Ten minutes later, the meeting started.
Yan Liguo didn't waste any words. He stood up and started to arrange the plan in coordination with the projection equipment.
"I don't want to say anything more. I believe everyone is aware of the current situation. Public security is becoming increasingly unstable, causing many citizens to not dare to go out at night."
"What is the reason? Is it that the gangs are too rampant, or is it that our police system is inactive?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the conference room!
At this time, the only ones who could appear here were the top police officers, all of them were foreigners.
In other words, we are all born of the same mother, so who doesn’t know each other’s background?
Why is there social unrest in Hong Kong now, with gangs running rampant and the police system doing nothing? Isn’t it because of instructions from above?
To be honest, there are some things they don't like and want to control, but no one dares to disobey orders from above!
What does Yan Liguo mean by this? Did the higher-ups change their minds? Or is everything just his own way?
If it's the latter, I guess he won't be able to stay in the top spot for long.
Yan Liguo looked around, taking in everyone's thoughts, and said, "I know what you're thinking, and I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, I joined the army at the age of 18, and will soon be sixty. I can say that I've been working in the police system for most of my life. I'm no longer an angry young man who makes decisions on impulse."
"I don't care about other things, and I don't have the ability to do so, but those overly rampant societies and gangs must restrain themselves and let me see their sincerity!"
"In this way, we have not only completed the task assigned by the Governor, but also successfully investigated whether there is any hidden culprit. While protecting the country and the people, we have also met our own needs."
"What do you think of this plan?"
Now, everyone finally realized that they thought he was a passionate idealist, but in fact he was just a wolf in sheep's clothing!
Its real purpose is to make money!
"The director is wise!"
"Resolutely crack down on evil forces!"
"I am sworn in with gambling and drugs!"
Everyone shouted slogans to show their loyalty and looked very positive.
They don’t have the courage to disobey their superiors, but they always have the courage to make money, and it’s very big!
"it is good!"
"Next, you split up and invite the leaders of the four major social organizations in Hong Kong Island to the headquarters building for a talk and see if they appreciate the courtesy."
"If you want to make a move, make it from the most powerful ones. If you want to make money, make it from the rich!"
Yan Liguo said this with great confidence, his eyes sparkling with light.
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone stood up and saluted solemnly!
Central and Western District.
Victoria Peak.
I saw a black BMW 7 Series driving down the mountain road, and a black Toyota on the side of the road immediately followed.
Zhuo Ziqiang sat in the co-pilot seat, constantly reminding his younger brother to pay attention to distance and speed and not to be exposed.
In the back seat of the car, Hu Jishu, nicknamed Bat Rat, took out his eldest brother's phone and began to deliver the message.
"Brother Huan, the target has appeared and is now starting to descend the mountain. We are tracking them and everything is proceeding according to plan."
Ye Guohuan said calmly: "Got it."
Ten minutes later, Li Zeju, the eldest son of Li Chaoren, was driving a BMW and waiting for the traffic light when he was forcibly taken away by a group of unidentified people and his whereabouts have been unknown to date.
It was two hours later when Li Chaoren, the father, received the news.
Fortunately, because he consciously blocked the news, it did not spread everywhere and was still within the controllable range.
Because of Lin Zehao, Li Chaoren did not successfully acquire Hutchison Whampoa as he did in his previous life and took the key step to become a real tycoon, so he is still an ordinary businessman now, and at best he is one of those who have developed quite well. After all, the real estate industry has been making too many profits in recent years.
Unless you are a fool, anyone who is engaged in real estate business or industries related to real estate has made a fortune in recent years.
On the hillside of Taiping Mountain, there is the Li family villa.
Because his business was targeted by Hutchison Whampoa, Li Chaoren sold his previous larger villa and replaced it with the current smaller and more remote villa.
Several silver Mercedes-Benz and BMW cars were parked in the courtyard, followed by a black Toyota that slowly drove in, looking somewhat out of place.
Zhuo Ziqiang, wearing a light-colored suit, slowly got out of the car with a provocative and arrogant smile on his face. He looked around and walked in front of Li Chaoren and said, "As expected of the famous Li Chaoren, he kept his promise and did not call the police!"
"I don't know. Are you ready for the silver paper I want?"
Li Chaoren said with a gloomy face, "My friend, this is not the place to talk. Please come inside."
Having experienced many ups and downs in the business world for many years, he has seen all kinds of situations. He knows that the most important thing at this time is to remain calm and never show any impatience, otherwise the other party will definitely ask for an exorbitant price. This is actually the same as doing business negotiations.
"Then the guest should follow the host's wishes. It is better to obey than to be respectful."
Zhuo Ziqiang followed Li Chaoren to the living room. He was not at all nervous, nor in a hurry. Instead, he began to look around, examining the decoration of the villa with great interest.
Upon seeing this, Li Chaoren immediately realized that this gang of bandits was definitely not to be trifled with, and that he must not fall out with them unless it was absolutely necessary, otherwise his eldest son would definitely not come back.
"Please take a seat. Would you like tea or coffee? I'll ask the servants to prepare it."
Facing Li Chaoren's hypocritical hospitality, Zhuo Ziqiang waved his hand to refuse, saying, "Boss Li, let's not play this game, shall we?"
"In a word, where is the silver paper?"
Li Chaoren pushed up his black-framed glasses and said in a deep voice, "My friend, I'm not looking for an excuse to shirk my responsibility. It's just that you're asking for too much. You want 5 billion without even a second's notice, and you want to pay it within two hours. I really can't do it."
"First of all, my entire fortune is at least 5 billion, and it's all invested in the project. They are all fixed assets, not liquid funds at all."
"These days, everyone who does business looks glamorous, but in fact, they are all borrowing money from the bank. How much money do they have in their accounts?"
Hearing Li Chaoren's words, Zhuo Ziqiang immediately felt that he was fooled. He immediately opened his suit jacket, revealing a vest made of C4 bombs, and said viciously: "You really don't want to drink the wine, you dare to play tricks on me, believe it or not, I will send you and your son to reunite!"
Seeing this, the coffee cup in Li Chaoren's hand almost fell to the ground, and his heart beat so fast that it seemed like it would jump out of his throat at any time.
Fortunately, years of ups and downs in the business world forced him to calm down, and he advised with a trembling voice: "My friend, there is no hatred between us in the past and in the present. You kidnapped my son just for money. There is no need to be so ruthless, right?"
"Even if you detonate the bomb, you won't get a dime except that everyone is done for, so why bother?"
"And I don't intend to default on my debt, but you're asking for too much. Why don't we discuss it again?"
