259 Profit is the greatest motivator
Blair and another ghost guy saw Chu Qianqian walking over with Margaret.
His face couldn't help but change, followed by ecstasy, and even his breathing became a lot heavier.
Holding back his excitement, he bowed his head and saluted Margaret, "Your Highness, good evening." ”
Margaret nodded and glanced at Chu Qianqian before saying with a smile, "Listen to Chu, you and he are good friends, gentlemen, I am glad that you can come to the party, and I sincerely thank you for the security services you provide." ”
After hearing this, Blair's mouth smiled crookedly, and Ge Bai glanced at Blair, then glanced at Chu Qianqian, and saw that he nodded slightly.
Only then did he reassure him and said, "It is our duty and honor to protect your safety, and I wish you a pleasant journey on Hong Kong Island." ”
After speaking, he said to Chu Xiangqian with a smile, "Chu, we were very satisfied with the last report, and I think it is necessary to award you a medal to show your recognition of your work and dedication." ”
Margaret immediately became curious, put her arm around Chu Qianqian and asked, "Chu, do you still have a job in the police force?" ”
Chu shrugged forward, "I am Director Ge Bai, Assistant Commissioner Blair, and Chief Superintendent Charles, and I personally hired appointed police combat instructors and consultants.
Last time, in the spirit of fairness, the three governors authorized me to supervise the investigation and reporting of a tragic case.
Finally, a report was written and handed over to the police force. ”
Margaret hurriedly covered her mouth and asked with an expression of disbelief, "Chu, have you caught the murderer?" ”
Ge Bai and Blair's faces tightened, and they secretly scolded themselves for being stupid, why should they mention this matter.
Fortunately, Chu Xiangqian knew how to behave, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, there are two directors of this case, and a chief superintendent is personally in charge, not only the murderer was arrested, but several accomplices were also killed by the two Chinese elite detectives Lan Gang and Liu Bo, who were in charge of the front-line investigation.
It can be said that this case is the most efficient case solving and the most tacit cooperation between the upper and lower levels of the police force since the opening of the port. ”
After speaking, Chu Qian looked at Margaret sideways, "Your Highness, I think that as a member of the royal family, it is necessary for you to encourage and encourage the police force up and down in your private capacity. ”
Ge Bai and Blair's heartbeats were almost uncontrollable at this time, and they looked at Margaret who was hesitating with anticipation.
Chu Xiangqian simply whispered in this woman's ear, "You are being restrained in London, it's just that everyone thinks you're not mature enough.
This situation is difficult to change in a short period of time, and in this case, it is better to seek external support.
And that's just a few words for you.
Not only will it not affect your vital interests, but it will also improve your image in the hearts of the people.
Once you gain the support of the people, even if you have some shortcomings, you may become straightforward and sincere in the eyes of the people.
Therefore, I strongly recommend that you have more contact and communication with the people of London in the future.
According to the words of the Celestial Empire, winning the hearts and minds of the people is the greatest reliance. ”
Margaret is 26 years old, and although her mind is simple, she is not pure silly and sweet.
And she was really a little overwhelmed by all kinds of rules, so she followed Norton to Hong Kong Island to relax.
As soon as I heard Chu Xiangqian say and looked for support from the outside, I actually recognized his words in my heart.
And Chu Xiangqian is just letting Margaret follow the path of Diana in the future.
It is also the right path that has stood the test of time.
And the bottom is actually very easy to woo, with Margaret's identity, just the so-called closer, it is easy to get the favor of ordinary women.
As for men, that's even less to say.
Of course, Margaret's own identity and personality determine that it is impossible for her to copy Diana's approach.
The path that is close to the people is not only Diana's, but the road that can be walked around the people at the bottom in person.
Caring more about the life and education of the bottom, or even just talking about it, is enough for Margaret to gain the support of some people at the bottom.
In the future, London politicians will inevitably seek Margaret's support in an election year, and this is her bargaining chip and confidence to expand the influence of the upper echelons.
As for the royal family, after Margaret voluntarily renounced the inheritance, she will reassure the royal family more than Diana and receive more support.
These words, after Chu Xiangqian pulled Margaret aside and whispered, Margaret hugged Chu Xiangqian's hand tightly.
Chu Xiangqian could clearly feel that his arms were sinking into a pair of softness.
"Chu, I feel that this trip to Hong Kong Island will probably be the most fortunate decision in my life."
Chu shrugged forward, "It's good if you're happy." ”
Margaret glanced at Chu Qianqian with a smile, there was already a slight hint in her words just now, but this guy was not moved at all.
Of course, Margaret also knew that it was impossible for her and Chu Xiangqian to have a good result, but she was still very willing to communicate with each other.
Chu Xiangqian actually didn't mind, after all, he even dared to touch his wife, and there were two of them.
For a single foreign woman like Margaret, she naturally doesn't mind having a conversation with her.
But in the search for happiness, there is also a need to consider the consequences.
After thinking about it, he said, "If I have the chance, I want to go to the European seaside for a vacation, do you have any good places to recommend?" ”
Margaret laughed at this time, her eyes glanced at Chu Qianqian with a little flattery, and after thinking about it, her eyes lit up and said, "I have a close friend who owns a small island called Mastik in the southeast of the 'Little Antilles' archipelago in the West Indies.
Not only is it a great place to visit, but it also has a sanatorium, a marina, and an airport, so you might want to spend your vacation there. ”
Chu Xiangqian understood as soon as he heard that this woman was planning to have a private meeting with him.
"Can you tell me how much it will cost to buy that island? Maybe I can buy a private island too. ”
Margaret quickly covered her mouth in surprise and asked after a while, "Are you serious?" ”
Chu Qianqian nodded, some islands are actually not expensive, or even very cheap.
Spending a little money and maintaining a good relationship with Margaret is good for yourself.
This means that I don't have to worry about my business on Hong Kong Island.
At the same time, in the future, when I go to England to earn pounds, I can also meet many people through Margaret.
The most important thing is that with the help of Margaret's connections, more antiques of the Celestial Empire and European and American oil paintings will be bought.
Not to mention, Margaret also promised to give herself a national treasure of the Celestial Empire as a reward for giving her a good horse.
For this alone, Chu Xiangqian thought that it would definitely be a good deal to spend tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy an island and use it as a secret base for private meetings.
Margaret saw him nod affirmatively, and then she believed that Chu Xiangqian was real.
After thinking about it, he said, "Dear Chu, I can't be sure, but how can the small island on the other side of Europe need a dozen or two hundred thousand pounds, right?"
On the other hand, the Indian Ocean or the Pacific Ocean will be much cheaper. ”
Chu Xiangqian sighed after hearing this, and he still took out two or three million Hong Kong dollars by himself.
He pulled Margaret's arm and spoke at G-Bai and Blair, "Margaery, don't forget what we just planned. ”
Margaret smiled slightly, continued to put her arm around Chu, and returned to Ge Bai and Blair.
"Gentlemen, I would like to visit the Force in a private capacity tomorrow morning, is that okay?"
Ge Bai nodded hurriedly, "This is our honor, please rest assured, Your Highness, tomorrow's visit will be in absolute secrecy." ”
——
When Chu Xiangqian was taken by Margaret to meet the others, Ge Bai hurriedly said to Blair, "After tomorrow's visit, I want to invite Chu to dinner, how about it?" ”
Blair knew what Ge Bai had to do again, and the first thought in his heart was, of course, to refuse, lest Chu Xiangqian be pulled over by Ge Bai.
But before the words could be spoken, my heart suddenly moved.
Ge Bai wanted to invite Chu Xiangqian to dinner, even if he was not the middleman, he could invite himself.
And just a meeting, a meal, and a chat, the relationship between the two will not be of much use.
In the final analysis, everything has to be spoken by interests.
Since Chu Xiangqian had mentioned the names of Lan Gang and Fat Bo just now, he secretly wanted to deepen his friendship with Chu Xiangqian, so it was better to set his sights on Lan Gang and Fat Bo.
Moreover, he helped Ge Bai introduce Chu Xiangqian, and in the future, when he applied to transfer Langang to the position of the leader of the Kowloon anti-black team, Ge Bai would definitely have to give himself a face.
"No problem", after Blair agreed, he pretended to think for a few seconds and continued, "SIR, I think it is better to simply invite him to dinner. ”
Ge Bai was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Blair glanced at Hadr, who was approaching Margaret with Norton again.
"Charles and I suggested that Chu buy the green space next to the Yau Ma Tei weather station and build a horse farm for horses. This thing had been stuck in the hands of Hadr before, and it was not approved.
Now it seems that Hader has been persuaded by Sir Norton, but there will be no less trouble after the approval comes down. So I suggest that Chu be given enough support in this matter. ”
Ge Bai thought about it and nodded, since the approval is no longer a problem, Chu Xiangqian has a good relationship with the local detective.
The construction of the horse farm is certainly fine, at most it will only be delayed for a year or two.
But with the support of himself and Blair, Chu Xiangqian must remember this favor.
Immediately, Ge Bai looked at Blair with some curiosity, "How much benefit did you and Charles get to help Chu like this?" ”
Blair shrugged, "Chu promised us that as long as we get the approval, they will send me and Charles, as well as 20 purebred Akhal-Teke horses from the top of the police force who helped him in this matter.
It's just that now it seems that 20 horses is impossible. ”
After speaking, Blair stared at Hader's back, and Ge Bai also understood that Hader was equivalent to making Blair and the top management of the police force lose the opportunity to earn hundreds of thousands, or even millions of pounds.
If you change to yourself, you will also kill this guy.
"Do you want to find trouble with them in secret?"
Blair looked at Ge Bai in surprise, and secretly said that this old thing wants to go crazy for money?
Immediately, I thought that Lei Luo could become the position of Inspector Zonghua back then, and he followed the path of Ge Bai's wife who lost money in Australia all the year round.
Two years have passed, and the woman must have lost a lot of money in Australia, otherwise Ge Bai would not be so straightforward and want to meddle in the business of his subordinates.
Blair not only had no opinion on this, but wanted him to be involved.
After all, judging from the current situation, the business of those 20 horses is likely to be yellow.
Naturally, we have to pull a few stronger people into the gang.
After thinking about it, he whispered, "Why don't we tear down the shantytown between the weather station's green space and Nathan Road?" ”
After saying that, Blair shook his head, "No, if it is all demolished, the people of the Lands Department will definitely take the land away and make a plan." It's better to let Feibo secretly help these shantytowns get real estate.
then took these properties at a low price and resold them to Chu. ”
"Good idea", Ge Bai's face was overjoyed, this hand is a monopoly, 10 acres of shantytowns and 30 acres of grassland and green space, a total of 40 acres.
While expanding the area of the racecourse, the shantytowns on the street were able to help him build hundreds of stores.
After these stores are built, the land needed may only be four or five acres, and it will be about three or four million when they are sold, and this is not counting the extra five or six acres of vacant land, which can be developed into office buildings or residential buildings in the future.
With this confidence, it shouldn't be difficult for him to have 20 sweaty horses.
Even if there are only 10 horses, it is 500,000 pounds, which is equal to 8 million Hong Kong dollars.
Of course, one acre of land at the weather station nominally cost 200,000 acres, but Ge Bai and others knew that after dredging the relationship, they could buy it for 100,000.
This is also the reason why Blair dared to say to Chu Xiangqian that this land is 100,000 per acre.
But without the intervention of Hader and himself and other high-level police officers, let alone approval, it would have been impossible to build buildings and stores.
Otherwise, the local rich businessman is not a fool, although the surrounding area is still very desolate, but it is located between Yau Ma Tei and Ho Man Tin.
The potential is still very high.
If someone was willing to spend a lot of money to dredge up the relationship, the land would have been bought long ago.
Ge Bai hurriedly said, "Go back tonight and do an investigation first, and when Princess Margaery goes to the police force tomorrow, find an opportunity to talk to Chu Hao about this matter in private."
If he agrees, I want 6 purebred Akhal-Tejin horses, no problem, right? ”
Blair couldn't help scolding in his heart, according to Chu Xiangqian's previous promise, one male and one female two Akhal-teke horses are worth at least 100,000 pounds.
is equivalent to Ge Bai, an old thing, who took 30% with his mouth.
But without his joining, although he and other high-level police officers could clean up the shantytown, the premise was that Ge Bai didn't know the benefits.
If this old fellow stayed aside and made trouble, even if he dragged Hader in, it would be in vain.
Of course, it is not impossible for everyone to join forces and drive away Ge Bai.
But because of the interests of 300,000 pounds, the consequences of doing such a thing are not only unpredictable, but perhaps the price paid by everyone in partnership is far more than 300,000 pounds.
But neither of them knew that Chu Xiangqian was now very likely to be willing to give 10 horses.
And it's for the sake of that shanty, adjacent to Nathan Road, where many stores can be built.
Bright could only nod, "Okay, but you have to sign the documents to rectify the shantytown." ”
"No problem", Ge Bai knows very well in his heart, if you want a high return, you have to pay.
Besides, before signing it yourself, you will definitely ask for a meeting with the management.
It is equivalent to the decision made by everyone together, and in the end, we can only advance and retreat together.
