Hong Kong Island Old Events

Wang Qi, a red stick man from Dongyi Hall, was wearing a sweatshirt, squatting on the bow of the boat, holding a cigarette and looking at the sea quietly. Several horsemen walked out of the cargo hold, came to the boss, and said: "Brother Qi, we will arrive at the Kowloon Tong Pier in half an hour."

"Brothers, have you made arrangements?" Wang Qi squinted his eyes and spoke calmly. One of the men laughed and said: "Brothers from the warehouse have arrived. Can we get off the ship and go get a massage together later? I heard from my brothers that a new sauna city has opened in Mong Kok, and it even has Canadian ghost girls."

"No problem, I'm treating you." Wang Qizhan agreed readily, and when he stood up again, he turned out to be a tall and muscular man over 1.8 meters tall. Behind him is a smuggling cargo ship converted from a fishing boat, with a yellow electric light on the ship.

Nine fishing boats of average size were lined up on the sea, slowly stirring the water and dragging the wake waves forward.

far away.

Smith stood on the bow of the anti-smuggling ship, raised his binoculars, looked at the cargo ship appearing on the sea, raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said: "Turn on the lights, flash the whistle, and prepare to search the ship!"

"Yes, sir!"

The two supervisors loudly received their orders.

"Customs is anti-smuggling, stop the ship and search!"

"Customs is anti-smuggling, stop the ship and search!"

For a moment, the police lights were on, and the calm on the sea was broken. A group of brothers, armed with weapons, came to the side of the ship and looked at the three large anti-smuggling ships. They were as anxious as ants on a hot pot. There were storms on the sea, and it was destined to be very lively. .

And the brothers in the club only have a few short guns in their hands, how can they get through the customs?

Soon, customs officers began boarding the ship, detaining people, and inspecting the goods. A senior inspector lifted up the oilcloth and saw boxes of cinnamon, star anise, hemp seeds, peppercorns, and tangerine peels in the warehouse. Each category was sealed in wooden boxes with special moisture-proof measures. It can be seen that they were specially modified for use. Merchant ship transporting cargo.

"I caught a big fish this time."

Smith bent down and took out a handful of hemp seeds from the wooden box, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, thinking to himself: "The intelligence from the Military Intelligence Agency is really correct."

These nine cargo ships are all modified ocean-going fishing ships. Not only do they have a large displacement, but they also carry a considerable load. Each of them can carry dozens of tons of cargo, and the nine ships combined can carry hundreds of tons of cargo.

The second day.

morning.

Yan Xiong came to the office and reported in a low voice: "Sir, the Customs Department took action yesterday and seized more than 500 tons of spices from Hip Shing Hong. They directly detained the ship and the goods at the Victoria Harbor pier and ordered the people from Hip Shing Hong to be released within a time limit. Go pick it up.”

He Dingxian's expression was stunned, and then he remembered: "The business name of Fang Suquan, the president of Dongguan Chamber of Commerce and the industrial king?"

"yes."

Yan Xiong reminded: "Sir, the ghost guys from the Customs Department are here with bad intentions. I'm afraid they want to use Chinese businessmen to establish their authority."

He Dingxian asked the people in the police force to pay more attention to the movements of the Customs Department, but if you have been a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days? The Customs Department is very closed, and it is impossible to get involved through the police intelligence. Moreover, the few chess pieces reluctantly placed in the customs should not be moved rashly, so I did not go to contact them.

Unexpectedly, Du Yihua was so fierce that he attacked Fang Suquan directly.

Fang Suquan and Hip Shing Hong sell spices overseas. Hong Kong Island does not produce spices, so naturally it can only purchase goods from the mainland.

The mainland is high-quality and low-priced and needs development, so it is natural to actively ship goods. In order to reduce tariff costs, in the era when smuggling was common, big bosses would naturally form fleets to ply the waters on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. More than five hundred tons of spices sounds like a lot. But it is enough for the Hip Shing Hong factory to last for a week at most.

Although Chaozhou merchants and Wanzhou merchants are two rural communities, they are a collective when it comes to dealing with ghosts. The Dongguan merchants also pay their fees to the police. He Dingxian moved quickly, picked up the phone a little anxiously, and dialed the number: "Help me pick up the police commissioner."

"Who is this?" A few minutes later, Jian Baoning picked up the phone and asked.

He Dingxian said: "Sir Jian, several cargo ships of Chinese merchants have been detained by the customs. Please help me ask the customs department about the situation!"

"Okay." Jian Baoning's tone was serious. Knowing that the customs had begun to take action, he reassured: "I'll call you right away and let you know within ten minutes."

"Thank you." He Dingxian nodded, hung up the phone, and understood in his heart: "The customs is most dissatisfied with the police force using banknotes to issue fees. To trouble the Chinese businessmen is not only to show me their tricks and give me a warning, but also to show up and collect the fees themselves. Money!”

He Dingxian is not afraid of the customs causing trouble at all, because in the overall situation the police force is overwhelming the customs. As long as he is willing to give Jian Baoning a small benefit, Jian Baoning will step forward and crush the customs. You don't even have to pay. If you wait for the customs to take back the right to collect fees, Jian Baoning will be the first to go crazy.

If there is one, there are two. The customs will collect it on their own, and the Financial Bureau and the Fire Department will collect it on their own? The streets of Hong Kong Island are in chaos again. Will the Hong Kong Governor be satisfied with his level of governance? Will he have another term?

Therefore, He Dingxian waited for the ghost guy to take action because he was not afraid, and if the ghost guy didn't take action, he had no reason to touch others. Because he is the one who takes the initiative to cause trouble. It depends on what cards the ghost guy plays and he can take advantage of them.

"Ding ding ding."

The call came back quickly.

He Dingxian answered the phone in front of Yan Xiong and said: "Jian sir."

"Sir He, I called Sir Du of the Customs. He said that the Military Intelligence Agency recently ordered a strict investigation of smuggling activities in the north. His people were planning to seize a few cross-border fishing boats for investigation, but accidentally found Boss Fang's boat. .”

"He has promised to release the ship, release the people, and apologize." Jian Baoning said.

He Dingxian's expression was stunned. The Customs Department was so tough, but Director Du Sir was so easy to talk to? Catch and release, one will be a good person, and the other will be a bad person! Then by seizing the ship, we can reach cooperation with the Chinese boss and pay the fees directly to the customs in the future?

Sir Du is making great progress!

"I see."

He Dingxian smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Sir Jian."

"You're welcome. I think the Customs Department may be a little dissatisfied with the banknote system. Is it appropriate to make some concessions?" Jian Baoning said directly: "Or, can I talk to someone from the Marine Police Department?"

"Need not!"

He Dingxian still insisted on not letting Gui Lao share the bank's benefits, and said: "I can handle it myself."

"Um."

"I hope it won't affect the current order. Sir, the order was set by you back then. You can't change it just because your position has changed." Jian Baoning added more: "You must abide by the established system."

He Dingxian promised: "No problem, I promise to collect and distribute money as usual every month. I'll hang up first, sir."

"Beep" he hung up the phone, took out a cigar, lowered his head and lit it, and slowly exhaled: "Hu Guiguo has no intention of detaining President Fang's ship, nor does he intend to make President Fang pay money. They just want to pass Slap me in the face by seizing the ship!"

"Call all Chinese businessmen!"

There are too many Chinese businessmen purchasing goods from the mainland, and the boats that go back and forth between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait every day are actually full of various raw materials.

Or oil, grain, medicine, etc. smuggled into the mainland

As a trade window to the world, Hong Kong Island also serves as a processing factory, processing mainland specialties into products and delivering them to overseas Chinese and foreigners for consumption. In fact, as long as you step on a node in the historical trend and occupy a place, you can become a generation tycoon.

Just like Boss Huo who delivers goods to the Mainland and Boss Fang who purchases goods from the Mainland, the reason why the Customs Department does not detain other ships, such as ocean-going ships such as medicines, oil, white powder, or arms, is not because it is impossible, but because it does not want to.

Because the customs has to collect the money in person, in a sense, it will have to cooperate with the bosses of major chambers of commerce and community leaders in the future. If you need to gain support from the chamber of commerce bosses, you naturally need to have a good relationship with them.

Therefore, it must be a low-intensity test at the beginning, and there will never be any conflict with the bosses. Don't let go of any of the seized cargo. Just a few more visits will prove that the police force has lost control of the water, and the bosses will naturally hand over the fees to the customs. He Dingxian's control over smuggling will also completely collapse with one catch and one release. Every time a ship is seized, a group of Chinese businessmen will be attracted to the ghost guys. Don't expect that the Chinese will always support the Chinese. First, the police force It’s not just Chinese people. Secondly, Chinese businessmen only support useful Chinese people!

Yan Xiong had been following the boss for several years, and he somewhat sensed the meaning in the boss's tone and asked aloud: "Brother Xian, what should we do, brothers?"

"You don't need to let people from the police force do this. Let's check whether President Fang has gone to the customs." He Dingxian said, and Yan Xiong replied: "Dongyitang called me before the crooked chicken, saying that Mr. Fang had not gone to the customs in the afternoon. I’ll go to customs at three o’clock.”

He Dingxian nodded, raised his left hand, patted his face, and said arrogantly: "When you come out to hang out, your face is beyond the sky. If you dare to lose my face, you have to pay for it with your life. If you don't die in this matter, you can't get your face back." .”

"I don't intend to let anyone take a step, nor do I intend to let others give a penny to let a crooked person come forward to do something. Our Baodong Yitang is fine, and I will give him a street in Sai Wan for gambling!"

Yan Xiong nodded: "I understand, Brother Xian."

He turned and left the office, returned to the office area and made a call: "Crooked Chicken."

"Brother Xiong!"

Waiji was sitting in a tea room, holding the phone, nodding and bending.

"The boss is going to give you a chance, do you want it?" His tone was simple and clear, and Waiji said anxiously: "Brother Xian is willing to give Dong Zitou a chance to change his ways. I'm grateful!"

"Thank you very much!"

"Okay, let's abolish the ghost supervisor who seized the cargo ship at the customs. Let the people at the customs know about Brother Xian's face and pay for it with his life!" Yan Xiong said sternly.

He Dingxian stayed alone in the office, smoking a cigar and raising his eyebrows: "We must hurry up and expand the Marine Police District again, but the premise is that the Marine Police District must be managed by a trustworthy person. After Ge Bai was promoted to Chief Superintendent, he was still disciplinary Ke is doing some work, it seems he needs to get some exercise and help him transfer to the Marine Police District."

"The police force must have power on the shore, and it must be able to fight on the water!"

afternoon.

Two thirty.

Fang Suquan walked out of the company building, got into a car, and said, "Go to the Customs Department."

"I got it, big boss." The driver lit the fire and drove along Wan Chai Road, but the nearest road was stopped by two military uniforms blowing whistles to indicate a detour. The car had to turn left and make a detour, but military uniforms appeared several times along the way, commanding detours every time. Even Fang Suquan, who was sitting in the back row, frowned and said displeased: "What the hell are the police doing? They temporarily blocked so many people." Road, a ten-minute journey costs half as much!”

Zhahua Road.

At a traffic light, the driver finished parking and said: "Boss, those military uniforms seem to have withdrawn after guiding the detour."

"Um?"

Fang Suquan looked surprised when suddenly a car crashed into the road railing, drove onto the sidewalk, knocked over several trash cans, and knocked a ghost guy straight away. When the ghost fell to the ground and hit the middle of the road, the car still ran over a section of the road without speeding up.
