433 Before Dawn
When Jian Baoning walked downstairs, a Mercedes-Benz with a police license plate had stopped on the side of the road, he pulled the car door and sat in the back row, and said with a straight face: "He sir, the speed of the attack is very fast." β
"Don't dare to influence Jian Sir to go home for dinner." He Dingxian glanced at his watch and instructed the driver: "Repulse Bay, send Jian sir back." β
Jian Baoning looked at the corpses on the side of the road that were covered with white cloth and covered their faces on the street, the police force had already cordoned off the scene and was about to start cleaning up.
"At the Provisional Magistrate's Office, the Governor was shot in the street."
"It's not going to settle down."
He Dingxian's face did not change, leaned on the chair, and said indifferently: "The governor has to grit his teeth and swallow his anger back, otherwise, the Chinese police will oppose him, and the British high-level will also oppose him, to be honest, I really want to see this kind of scene." β
The police seized power, taking advantage of the Star Ferry incident, the Governor seized power, and expanded the Patton case.
This series of events continued one after another, continuing into the struggle between the British and the Chinese bank, and a new disciplined force also surfaced.
Independent Commission Against Corruption!
In fact, the Anti-Corruption Commissioner appointed by the Governor Xie Faxin was the first Commissioner of the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC), and the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) was the prototype of the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
In the final analysis, it is the confrontation between the Chinese and the ghosts around the economy and politics.
The more he understood, the more he knew that there was no bloodless revolution, and that it was not a matter of waiting for 97 to let Hong Kong Island go from what the ghosts said to the Chinese. If the Chinese on Hong Kong Island don't 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 ferocious, he can't be afraid.
Change!
Go deeper.
"I'm not feeling well right now." Jian Baoning didn't pretend, and said loudly: "Killing the Governor Commissioner can be regarded as establishing authority for the police force, but I have stepped on the political red line, and the Governor's Office must have a deep opinion of me, and it is not interesting to continue to do it." β
"I'm going to ask the Governor to resign."
He Dingxian was not surprised, but he was a little regretful: "Resign, resign." β
"Step down with dignity, retire with honor, and the police fund will pay you a pension."
"Hahaha."
Jian Baoning laughed loudly, paused, and said, "In the end, what else can I do for you?" β
Taiping Mountain.
When he received the news that Xie Faxin had been shot dead on the street, he smashed the report in front of him on the table, and his will to fight corruption became more and more firm: "I want to appoint a new commissioner to continue investigating corruption in the Force!" β
Imagine how the Hong Kong government would react if the future Commissioner of the ICAC was shot dead in the street, how angry the Chief Executive would be, and how angry Pak would be 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, and the act of shooting him in the street does touch his bottom line.
He expected that Xie Faxin would be retaliated against by the police force, and the case would not go well, and he didn't even plan to let Xie Faxin really handle the case. But I didn't expect the police force to react so quickly and with such brutal methods, as if the whole Hong Kong police went crazy when they said the word anti-corruption.
Originally, I investigated Jian Baoning, and then went around with the police force, showed each other's hole cards, negotiated conditions, and ended the investigation when the sincerity was enough, and then the strength of the police force was preserved, and I would lose the face of a former commander.
The time is almost consumed, the run on the tide appears, and the four major foreign banks are there, and the Chinese capital that should be cut is in hand. The two sides will return to the same state as before, and then endure for another two years, and the governor's term will end.
But the police force didn't talk to him at all, didn't play with him, and flipped the table when he came up!
Is this okay!
Auxiliary Secretary He Yining had a cautious expression and carefully reminded: "Sir, three of the previous thirty members of the anti-corruption team were killed, and the remaining twelve reported that they wanted to be transferred back to the original department, and the rest may also be frightened. β
"The investigation team is already overwhelmed and needs to be re-staffed for training."
Pak could tell that the Chief Secretary for Administration was reminding him that he was not strong enough and unprepared, and that he had no leverage to fight the Force again.
"I know."
"But the Anti-Corruption Unit cannot be disbanded, it needs to be developed into a permanent body." He was not ready to fight with the police force at the beginning, and he seized the opportunity to be ruthless, and he was naturally unable to raise reliable forces in a short period of time after a wave of defeat.
But the contradiction has intensified, and he no longer thinks about short-term things, but wants to lay out for a long time.
This is also the negative effect of being ruthless, but if this negative effect will happen sooner or later, it is almost equal to no effect.
Bai Liji said: "I will send 50 young staff members from various government offices to the Military Intelligence Department for formal training, and then select a new batch of capable officials, and I will personally select the next anti-corruption commissioner." β
"At the same time, the former deputy team leader will be appointed as the acting team leader, and the commissioner will not be granted privileges for the time being, and he will be responsible for the management of the anti-corruption task force."
He Yining clearly heard Bai Liji's dislike for the Force's interest groups, and he had already smelled the change in the political wind, and he couldn't help but alarm bells in his heart.

"Don't stop the investigation on Jian Baoning for now, but don't hold any more hearings, I signed a property freezing folder and took it to the Banking and Commerce Department to freeze all assets in Jian Baoning's personal name." Bai Liji walked back to his 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 Auxiliary Secretary for execution.
"Do a good job of Xie Sir's funeral."
Bai Liji Road.
"Please rest assured, sir." He Yining bowed long, took the document and turned to leave.
Ge Bai, Kunxian, Skemin, Hao Defu, and even the retired Yifu and other British high-ranking officials were greatly relieved to receive the news of Xie Faxin's death in mansions and villas. Regardless of whether the governor has a follow-up move, anyway, this shot is fired, and the rest will be carried by the Chinese.
They have one foot out of it, and the situation is very good.
If they can't celebrate publicly as police officers, they all want to hold a banquet, push their glasses and change their glasses, and thank He Sir well.
The superintendents of the Constitutional Commission and the mid-level ghosts of the police stations received phone calls from the chief one after another, and they immediately settled down when they learned the news. In the morning, because of the news that the former director was investigated, the people were panicked, and in the evening, the people's hearts were already cleaned up.
Who is afraid of a dead man?
If there is nothing to fear from the dead, what is there to fear?
It's a big deal to make them all dead.
Until a prominent senior executive is actually convicted of corruption, no one will consider an anti-corruption investigation to be a threat. Inspector Hua of the police stations in various districts of the police force, the heads of the operations department, also settled down after receiving the news.
Although the Chinese police officers have not made a sound since the incident in the morning, they have not met once, but it does not mean that they do not exist. For many things, the Chinese prefer to wait and see, to be silent, and to see with their eyes.
If you ignore them because they don't speak, then they will definitely remind you at some critical moment, how can TMD still have such a group of people, and regret how dare you forget such a group of people.
Ho Ting-yin finished the affairs of the police force, sent Jian sir home, and drove back to Wyndham Street. First of all, there have been runs on Hang Seng and the Bank of East Asia, and they are expanding step by step.
As a result, the cash pools of the Hang Seng and BEA banks are falling rapidly, and not only can they no longer undertake the task of bailing out the market, but they may also need merchants to transfuse blood to the two banks. Fortunately, thanks to the strong bailout of the Chamber of Commerce, the run crisis is much smaller than in history.
It didn't take a few days to redeem Hang Seng to the point where it was time to sell its shares. In particular, the Chinese bank paid for the acquisition of Yuedong Trust, and the positive feedback effect was extremely strong. The main reason is that the three banks make a look of wealth and inexhaustible money, which makes the bosses and merchants have a sense of trust. In the midst of this run, it is impossible to spend more than 200 million yuan to acquire an insolvent bank, but the amount of funds is insufficient.
Once trust is created, the run begins to wane until the banking sector returns to normalcy. It can be said that now is the night before dawn, the darkest time is about to pass, and then the sun rises, and the day is in the sky, and it is time to fight back.
Of course, the whole process needs a period of relaxation, and the run and trust are born at the same time, and the longer the Chinese banks hold on, the more trust will return.
"No Chinese-funded bank has gone bankrupt for 24 hours."
Ho Dinh Hsien sat at home, drinking his wife's bird's nest and holding the report in his hand: "As long as there are no more bank bankruptcies, a week will be enough to tide over the crisis, and forty-eight hours from now, the amount of runs every day should drop exponentially." β
Chu Yunnan was wearing a nightdress, sitting opposite, and said with concern: "You can breathe a sigh of relief, right?" β
"I'm relieved for the Chinese bosses, and I've never been scared." He Dingxian confidently put down the report, concentrated on eating bird's nest, and began to appreciate his wife's natural beauty.
When people have troubles, it is easy to ignore the beauty around them, and once the heart is smooth, there is sexual interest in watching everything.
Chu Yunnan waited until her husband finished eating bird's nest, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the dishwashing sink and turned on the faucet, just wiped a bowl, and noticed that a big dragon head with strong blood and strength came up, and pretended to spit on the pool, but her heart was full of anticipation and secretly happy.
He Dingxian held her waist, put her upper body down, lifted the silk in the stall, and taught his wife to wash the dishes hand in hand. The whole process is simple and in-depth
The next day.
Morning.
Ho Ting-hyun received a call from Li Guanchun from the Bank of East Asia, and Boss Li made a long story short and intended to borrow 100 million yuan to use.
"At nine o'clock in the morning, the Oriental Bank store in Wan Chai went to collect the money."
After he finished breakfast, he stood beside the landscape glass in the villa hall, looked at the lush bonsai in the garden, and exhaled: "I will tell Ah Geng to prepare for you in advance." β
"Thank you He Sheng."
Li Chunguan's tone was grateful and very respectful.
"It's nothing, everyone is a director of the Chamber of Commerce, and they share weal and bene, so naturally they have to help." He Dingxian put the cigarette in his mouth: "Okay, let's not talk about it yet, I'm in a hurry to go to work, and I need money to talk." β
"I'm sure I'll feed you!"
