459 Ideals, persecution
"Well done, why quit?" Chen Li didn't bother to read the resignation report at all, got up and took out a cigarette, and handed it to Lu Minghua: "I'm planning to promote you." β
"Thank you, Uncle Li."
Lu Minghua took the cigarette and said proudly: "The dog skin of the Royal Police, I am uncomfortable to wear." β
"Huh?"
Chen Li's eyes were surprised, and he lit a cigarette for him: "It's just a meal to eat, why are you so arrogant and look down on the people of the Hong Kong Police Force in one sentence." β
"If no one is a police officer, I am willing to be a police officer, if I am just a police officer to eat, 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 status quo of third-class Chinese, first-class ghosts, black-and-white collusion, and collusion between officials and businessmen in the market. β
"In the past, the police force hung the Hong Kong Island Police Force, and I could comfort myself that I was working hard for the city, but now, the police force has a Royal Police Force license plate, which reminds me all the time that I am a third-class person who is ruled by the government!"
"I'm proud to be a dog for the colonists to survive!"
Chen Lici smiled kindly, nodded approvingly: "There is backbone!" β
Lu Minghua took out an envelope from his pocket and put it on the table: "Uncle Li, this is the fee received in three years, 32,000 yuan. I'm sorry to live up to your expectations, and thank you for taking care of me in the past few years. β
"Andy remembers it."
Chen Li probed the cigarette ashes, knocked his fingers on the envelope twice, and sighed: "To realize the ideal, it is wrong to come to the police force, after all, even I am an anti-corruption superintendent who pays every month, and the cases investigated are all political struggles and retaliation." β
"But what do you eat when you leave the police force?"
"It's hard to have a job that earns so much, and with a gun, no one dares to bully you." In addition to the monetary treatment, the hidden benefits of the police force are also indispensable, and the status of walking on the street with a gun is very different.
"I want to be a lawyer."
Lu Minghua said: "Use the law as a weapon to change the world!" β
Chen Li took a cigarette, took one puff after another, and stared at Lu Minghua: "Not afraid of death?" β
"Huh."
Lu Minghua smiled lightly, heard the meaning of Chen Li's words, and explained: "Uncle Li, how dare I touch the police force, it's not that I haven't been in the police force. It's just that I want to use my role as a lawyer to enter politics, and for Chinese people, lawyers can accumulate prestige and fame the fastest career. β
"If I have the opportunity to fight a few big cases and be admitted to the third division as an administrative officer, I think I will have the opportunity to change Hong Kong Island!"
Chen Li's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had a spirit, and began to respect Lu Minghua's thoughts.
"Okay."
Chen Li picked up the envelope on the table, put it in the drawer, and said loudly: "I accepted the money, so that you don't have any worries, but if you take this silver ticket, it will be my ideal of supporting young people." As long as you don't forget, you came out of the police force. β
Lu Minghua is not a jealous and hateful person, if he can't stand a little darkness in the world, it is impossible to stay in the police force for three years, but Lu Minghua is obviously a smart, daring, ambitious young man, Xu feels that the police force with the royal title will not have much room for political development, simply change the track, not only have a good idea, but also have more prospects.
Of course, it is more difficult to be a lawyer, and the income at the beginning is not as good as that of a lawyer.
Lu Minghua did not hesitate, stepped forward to take the silver ticket, and saluted: "Thank you, sir!" β
"Pack your things."
"Let's get off work."
Chen Li waved his hand, and after Lu Minghua turned to leave, he quietly scolded: "Stinky boy!" β
"Again, TM is a careerist."
Ten years ago, he had met such a 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 beautiful boy ten years ago, and he may really have a chance to break a path in the political arena, but young people don't understand how important it is to have a gun!
"The road is your own choice, just rely on your own walking." He signed a document and then handed it over to the personnel department for approval, and when he released the pen, he saw a stack of business cards, which was the contact information of Chaoshan barrister Luo Wenjin.
Chen Li was moved for a moment, but finally shook his head: "The icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, don't let that stinky boy hit his head and break the bloodstream, how can he remember the favor?" β
"There's no hurry."
Office of the Assistant Director.
"Big guy."
Lei Luo pushed the door into the house and opened his mouth to shout, "What is the order?" β
"It's okay, can't I ask you to come and sit down? Ray Gentleman. He Dingxian stood up at the desk with a smile and came to the reception area to pick up the kettle: "What to drink?" β
"Just cool water."
Lei Luo smiled bitterly: "I drank too much two days ago, my mouth was dry, and I haven't come back to my strength." β
"It won't affect the thief, right?"
He Dingxian poured a glass of cold water, and Lei Luo hurriedly shook his head: "No, a big case was only handled in West Kowloon yesterday, and a batch of black powder was found in Mong Kok, which was suspected to be used by rioters to make explosives. β
"I've heard about it."
He Dingxian nodded: "Three buildings were blown up, but fortunately, there were no casualties, but Kowloon District is facing a property compensation lawsuit of 60,000 Hong Kong dollars." β
"Uh, a little bit of money." Lei Luo smiled dumbly: "I have paid for it out of my own pocket, but I didn't expect that I couldn't hide anything from the big guy." β
"Chen Jiaju did it."
He Dingxian asked with interest: "You are a squad leader in West Kowloon." β
"Big guy, you don't even have a ju. That's right, they were awarded the title at the police academy in that issue. Lei Luo came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Chen Jiaju happened to pass by when he was patrolling, and he only brought two subordinates with him, so it was not easy to win this case." β
"Speaking of which, he is also a dog's nose, and he can smell the slightest smell of gunpowder."
He Dingxian could hear that he was appreciative in his tone, mixed in the disciplined forces, dared to fight, and had the ability to do things, and was obviously more liked by his superiors. The commanders all want their subordinates to have a high force value, and there are people when they want to use people.
In contrast, if there is a little trouble, it doesn't hurt if the boss can hold it. Especially before the reform of the Force, but whether or not it can be promoted is another matter. Lei Luo has actually transferred Chen Jiaju to his side and become his direct team leader.
"That's a surprise, hand in the case closure report, and Sir Ge will reward you." He Dingxian said with a smile: "I called you here, in fact, to talk about the candidate for Inspector General of the New Territories, and the New Territories will be officially listed next week." β
"Inspector Zonghua's office is located in the Tsuen Wan Department, who are you going to let be?"
Lei Luo took a sip of water, put down the cup, and didn't think twice: "Zeng sir." β
"No problem." He Dingxian knew that Lei Luo would definitely seek positions for Zeng Shaoke and Cai Zhaoguang, the two sworn brothers, although he had wanted to bring the two to Daguan to do things before, but Zeng Shaoke and Cai Zhaoguang secretly refused.
After all, it is not as comfortable as being in Tai Kwun alone, unless you can be promoted to superintendent.
And He Dingxian, as the boss among the sworn brothers, has no reason to stop his brother from being transferred, so he readily agreed: "Tomorrow, the director will issue an appointment order and transfer Zeng Sir to the New Territories." β
"Thank you, big guy."
Lei Luo looked happy: "After all, the New Territories is a large region, and it is better to be in charge of it by its own brothers, than to leave it to the small ones." β
"Hmm."
"If there is anything that needs help, let Sir Zeng 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 in the end, and you must be careful in doing things. β
"We understand."
Lei Luo said yes.
"Pray, Standard Chartered lost a lot of money in the six or seven stock market crashes, as high as 200 million Hong Kong dollars." Standard Chartered Taipan Charride was full of sadness, and said loudly: "The head office has planned to change the senior class to take over my position. β
Qi Yaolin held up the red wine glass and said bitterly: "HSBC has lost too much blood, and in a short period of time, it can't even raise the stock price." Not only did several large British-funded companies fall into the hands of the Chinese, but even Wharf suffered a hostile takeover. β
Fortunately, HSBC raised a number of Chinese-funded factories, and in the process of growing Chinese-capital, it picked up some carrion.
Swire Taipan Sassoon sighed: "The form and style of Bai Sir are too weak, and the economic development has not grown until now, but the British capital has not grown, but the Chinese capital has become stronger and stronger." The essence of the reason why Chinese capital was able to use the June Seven Incident to create a stock market crash and harvest British capital was that the governor lacked control over the executive branch. β
Charried nodded, already resentful, and said loudly: "When I return to London, I will report to the head office and put pressure on the Colonial Department to change the ancestral family to a strong governor to take up a post in Hong Kong." β
Due to the reclamation of the colony and the pumping economy, a large number of foreign banks were needed, resulting in the colonial department being deeply controlled by foreign banks since ancient times, and it is not nonsense to change a governor. But Qi Yaolin knew that Bai Liji had just pacified the June Seven Incident, and the ancestral family would definitely want to be rewarded, not punished. You must know that in the eyes of the ancestors, the June Seventh Incident was by no means caused by the economy, but a deliberate provocation from the north. From a personal experience of a matter and a macro view, two different conclusions can be drawn.
The chain reaction that led to the June Seven Incident alone was enough for the Colonial Department to write a dozen academic papers, how could it be that the high-ranking ministers could see through it at a glance? Moreover, Bai Liji, as a qualified political figure, is responsible for all his personality and behavior in political goals.
He is not as strong as Ge Hongliang, not because he has no anger in his heart, but because the environment does not allow him to be strong. But Qi Yaolin did not refute Charried's words, and even spoke out in support, saying that HSBC would also respond to the head office.
This is because the replacement of the Governor is not the goal, as long as the Governor can be put under pressure to force the Governor to be more administratively radical, which is in line with the development strategy of the Foreign Bank. Even if the Governor's method of administration was most beneficial to federal colonization, in a capitalist society, capital and government are separated, and the two do not pursue common goals, but only pursue their own interests.
Why not fight an economic war, but a political one? Because, if you can't win politically, you're doomed to lose economically!
A month later.
Taiping Mountain.
After Bai Liji answered the call from the colonial minister, he sighed and turned his head and said, "At seven o'clock in the evening, the general managers of the four major foreign banks will go to the hotel for dinner together. β
