History of Hong Kong Island

Chapter 108
end of the month.

It's January Fees Day again.

Wearing a shirt, with a cigarette in his mouth, and a rattan wooden box in his hand, Lard Boy swaggered into the Mongkok police station with his two younger brothers.

"Brother."

"Brother!"

The gatekeepers in military uniform and the plainclothes on duty greeted each other, their voices full of welcome.

"Morning..." Zhu Youzi nodded with a smile, and greeted everyone with a smile. The group quickly came to the door of Inspector Hua's office: "Brother Xian!"

"Mr. He." The two boys behind him shouted.

"Coming?" He Dingxian yawned, his eyes were hazy, and he also woke up early in the morning.The three subordinates laid out the rattan boxes in their hands on the table and coffee table and opened them. Thick rolls of Hong Kong dollars filled the box, all of which were in ten-yuan Hong Kong dollars. It was clearly exchanged at the bank for easy distribution.

He Dingxian's eyes fell on the Hong Kong dollar and he nodded in satisfaction. The lard boy inserted five fingers into the five-circle Hong Kong dollar roll, took the Hong Kong dollar out of the box and said, "One roll costs 200 yuan, and three boxes total 43. The stores are all closed."

"Huh." He Dingxian blew out a puff of smoke.

"This month, Zhengxing stores, markets, and companies in the district collected a total of 18 million in fees, and each side door stall charged a total of 25 in fees, of which Dongyitang charged [-], Chao Yiyong charged [-], and number gangs charged [-]. [-], Dongfu Club received [-]..." Lard Boy reported the accounts one by one and took out a notebook and said, "This is the account."

"As long as the rent collector manages the accounts properly." He Dingxian glanced at the account books and didn't go to get them, but said: "I will check when I should."

"Understood, Brother Xian." Zhu Youzai once again collected all the account books, feeling inexplicably happy, and He Dingxian has a special accounting team to help the police. When he wants to check the accounts, he can cross-check the accounts with one order. Don't worry about rent collectors playing tricks.

In fact, if he was worried, he would not use lard boy to collect rent. With the lard boy's shrewdness, he even fiddled with fees. Rent collectors are rich in money, and there are more places to make money...

"Take out the guys' money and put it in the closet. Brothers have already opened the closet doors for you. Just keep the ghost's share." He Dingxian ordered.

"Brother Xian, I'm off to work." Zhu Youzai responded, and turned around to wink with his two subordinates. The three took away one box and left two boxes behind. The banknotes must have been sorted for a long time. prepare.

"The Mongkok district doesn't look deserted compared to Central, and it's even busier, with more shops."

"However, all kinds of companies and industries are much different from those in Central. Most of them are restaurants, grocery stores, and small dance halls. There is only one department store, and there are not many banks... The fees are not as good as those in Wanchai, and there is still no money. Wanchai is thick!"

"This is a gap in the industrial structure." He Dingxian looked at the two large boxes of money and had an answer in his heart.

Although he has never seen the total monthly fee for Wanchai District, it is a bit guesswork for some of them.

The monthly fee in Wan Chai is at least RMB 80 million, which must be higher than that in Mong Kok!
"However, there is no way. Kowloon was developed later than Hong Kong Island. Even the banking district in Mongkok cannot reach the level of the core area of ​​Central. It should be similar to the suburbs of Central. No wonder everyone likes to work in Central. Even if the inspector manages more people, manages a larger territory, and has lower power and status than the chief inspector of Hong Kong Island, it is not a question of job ability, but a question of the economic development of the territory..."

"In short, being a China inspector in Mong Kok is ten or a hundred times more enjoyable than being an inspector in Mong Kok. Of course, one of the reasons why the fee is less than fifty is that there is a wharf problem..."

At present, the port fees are still paid separately by the marine police, the police force, and the industrial and commercial summer.

The police force has not seized the power but has not yet seized the pier. I am afraid that it will mobilize the whole body. If the pier fee is also collected, it is estimated that it will be 30 million more.

He Dingxian was a little moved in his heart, stood up without thinking too much, took out 35 yuan from the wooden rattan box and put it in the cabinet, and immediately divided the remaining [-] yuan into four parts.

"In the 43 fee, the Chinese police officers in the entire police force are divided into a total of [-], of which the average plainclothes is about [-] per person, [-] in military uniform, [-] for inspectors, and only [-] for the team leader in military uniform. But the police chief in uniform will give you five thousand."

"There are 3 plainclothes detectives in Mong Kok, [-] military uniforms, [-] scouts, and [-] team leaders in military uniforms. The [-] yuan is not bad. It is nothing more than making adjustments on the basis of plainclothes. There will be no shortage of scouts, Sheriff's money."

"Tsk tsk, less than one-tenth of the more than 100 people are killed, and the largest of the remaining four belongs to the ghost, and the rest are from the fire department, the food bureau, and the industry and commerce... There is currently no real estate project in Mongkok District. Otherwise, you have to share with the Urban Construction Department, just like counting the Monetary Authority in Wanchai, the specific accounts are divided..."

"As for the superintendents, inspectors, and even the Indian police at all levels in the police force, they are all assigned by the director of the ghost, and they themselves have corresponding rules and quotas."

He Dingxian left the office with two rattan boxes, stepped up the stairs, turned the corner, and came to the high-rise of Guilao.

The door of the Mong Kok Director's Office was open, and five policemen stood expressionlessly in uniform, with guns on their waists, and hands behind their backs.

These five people are all inspector-level ghost police officers, but when they saw him, they saluted in unison, like a subordinate meeting a boss.

With a smile on his face, He Dingxian thinks in his heart that the only time he pays the monthly fees is the most face-saving!
It's not a big deal for him to take out 40 yuan in 5 miles in one breath, because the fee was originally collected from the bottom by him to integrate power, take the blame, and collect it from the bottom. Naturally, he should take a big one, just because Inspector Hua took There is no fixed amount of money, as long as the money can satisfy both the subordinates and the superiors, the extra is his ability, just because the monthly fee is a little bit high, it seems that Chao Yiyong and Dongyingsha have shown that the kung fu is doing well...

Just because he has a gun in his waist.

And he is definitely not the one who gets the most!
At this time, the five white-skinned ghosts were standing or sitting, some were wearing uniforms or suits, some were smoking cigars, some were holding pipes, chatting and laughing happily in the office, as if they were a miniature of a meeting...

"Sir!" A firm and powerful report sounded, and immediately a leather boot stomped on the ground, stomping heavily on the ground.

The five ghosts all cast their gazes at the Chinese inspector at the door. The director of the ghost, "Wei Shaochen", opened his mouth, let go of his pipe, and slowly exhaled, "Come in."

"Yes, sir!" He Dingxian called out to report again, and immediately walked into the door with the rattan box, put the two boxes on the coffee table between the five people and opened them, and when the eyes of the five people were showing greed, he said aloud: " Sir, this month’s fees total 30 yuan, according to the rules, the police force is [-] yuan, the industry and commerce department is [-] yuan, the fire department is [-] yuan, and the food bureau is [-] yuan..."

These tens of thousands of dollars were distributed to the Chinese in the Industrial, Commercial and Fire Department, and there was probably only 40 to [-] yuan left.

When Wei Shaochen heard the number, his expression obviously changed. The staff of Shangshangshu who were present frowned and asked aloud: "Wei sir, the number is not as high as expected."

In fact, this amount is not much different from what they usually collect. In general, it will be two to three thousand yuan more, but why should the power be transferred to you if it is only the extra profit of Weibo?
Wei Shaochen picked up the pipe again, raised his head and looked at Inspector Hua, but Inspector Hua straightened his back and said aloud, "Sir, in order to ensure the security of Mong Kok District, the criminal team has restrained its actions!"

"You go out." The deputy director and chief superintendent Han Yili waved his hands and reprimanded, obviously he didn't want the next topic to be heard by Inspector Hua. Inspector Hua knew that the ghosts had always guarded against the Chinese in internal negotiations, so he didn't say a word immediately. Saluted again, turned and left.

"Fuck, let us quarrel, people who want money will naturally come to me." He Dingxian sneered as he walked down the third floor.

Although Inspector Hua's power these days is not enough to hit the ghost with money and make the ghost bow his head, but it is not a bad idea to use a soft knife twice with good sense.
It is impossible for Wei Shaochen to fire him just for one month's fee. He wants to look good on the street, but he ordered He Dingxian to do his best to prevent the fee from increasing Weibo. If you want more fees, you can only look at their choices...

He Dingxian returned to the office and crossed his legs. He had already begun to enjoy the power of Inspector Hua, and then the lard boy who had paid the fee returned to the office: "Brother Xian."

"Sit down and drink tea." He Dingxian handed a cup of hot tea to the opposite side.

Lard Boy quickly thanked: "Thank you Brother Xian."

"Are the brothers satisfied with the fee?" He Dingxian can ignore Guilao's ideas, but he must consider the opinions of the brothers.

Lardboy took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This month is more than last month, brothers are of course satisfied, as long as you give them a dollar increase, you will be happy."

"Haha." He Dingxian smiled happily.

Zhu Youzai said: "What about Dongfu Society and Dongying Society's private opening of black stalls?"

"You can't ignore it."

He Dingxian's expression suddenly turned grim: "I just went upstairs and saw Guilao and I couldn't bear it anymore. Even Young Master Wei wants to make political achievements, but the Guilao under his command, even Gongshangshu and the fire department will not be reconciled. , as soon as a week, as slow as half a month, we must start working."

Lard Boy sighed: "Dongfu Society and Dongying Society have opened thirteen more gambling stalls in private, two calligraphy and flower stalls, three usury stalls, and sixteen stables... These stalls are closed every month. I can get an extra [-] to [-]..."

"In the future, the stalls will definitely make more money year after year. The Kowloon district is developing very well, and Mong Kok is the first central area to make money."

"Brother Xian, what you said is right, they are just obeying and obeying."

He Dingxian shrugged his shoulders, it didn't matter, he pondered the teacup in his hand, and was even a little relieved: "Dongyitang, as the largest Dongguan gang association, still has a cigarette card in hand, and it's interesting that it didn't open a cigarette stall in private..."

"Brother Xian, I think Dongyitang wants to rely on it. Dongguan can't help it. They can rely on the Chamber of Commerce to sit on the dock business, but the shore is getting more and more prosperous, so they can't just ignore it? At least in the next two to five years. The police must be ruled by the Chaoshan gang, they have to rely on them if they want to find water on the shore!" Zhu Youzai's analysis is convincing: "Dongyitang knows how to choose if it can grow big, the boss of Kowloon is 'big epilepsy' look Wake up crazy, but the brain is very smart."

He Dingxian nodded: "I thought that Dongyitang would lend cigarette licenses to two Dongguan associations to open a black market, but now it seems that there is no such thing. In the future, he can be left to search for water on the site. Now that the police have won the Dongguan gang, In the arena, we can no longer suppress the Dongguan Gang in everything."

For example, Gao Yongsheng and Chen Tong have a deep connection with the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and they are even the Chief Inspector General Hua who is unanimously favored by the bosses of the Chamber of Commerce.

In business, in the rivers and lakes, the Chaoshan Gang must be the first in everything.

Because, the Chaoshan gang associations are also supported by the big bosses, and they are all from their own family members, and it would be disgusting to turn their elbows outward.

He Dingxian is different from them. As a member of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, he is not only a member of the Chaoshan Gang, but he is not controlled by a certain big boss.

The fees for the upper ranks are all paid by themselves, and the opportunities for the upper ranks are all on their own. As long as you don’t forget your identity as a Chaoshan member, it’s completely fine to help the Dongguan Gang a little bit.

Because no one can restrict him in terms of morality and the rules of the world, but he can be suppressed by power, but is it necessary?

He didn't go too far!
In this way, the power of the rivers and lakes under his hands can jump out of the boundaries of the Chaoshan Gang, use the Dongguan Gang, and then use the Laofu, Number Gang, Heji, etc...

Although sectarianism is a form of unity, to a certain extent it is also a manifestation of complacency.

Boss Chu's success is the merger of "Chaozhou Chamber of Commerce" and "Shantou Chamber of Commerce" into "Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce".

The success he hopes for is in the police force. Regardless of the Dongguan community, the Chaoshan community, or the Hakka community, they can all be used by him and surrender under his order!
It is in the business world that you can get the support of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and in the future, you will jump out of the rules and regulations of the association of fellow villagers...

The bigger the world, the bigger the power!
It seems too early to talk about these things at the moment, but the situation of Dongguan and Chaoshan in the Mongkok District has changed back and forth, and the one-sided situation has caused him to think about it several times.

"Brother Xian, I understand what you mean." Zhu Youzai said with a smile: "It's good luck for Liangyou and Sangmentong. To be honest, I sent my brothers to squat them."

"Hehe." He Dingxian laughed twice and said nothing more. After drinking the tea, Zhu Youzai said: "The company has something to do, let's go first."

"Come on." He Dingxian waved his hand to let the rent collector leave.

Zhu Youzai locked the office door, raised his chest, waved his fan, and walked out of the gate of the police station with his two younger brothers flaunting his might.

Today, the Chinese police officers are happy to get the fees in the closet. Even the Indian police and ordinary ghosts are in a happy mood, but the ghosts above the inspector level feel very unpleasant.

They have negotiated with other departments on behalf of the top police force for so long and contributed a lot, why there is almost no increase in fees?
Have you eaten it all!
This led to a lot of pressure on officials above the chief inspector of the police force. At the same time, Wei Shaochen, the director of the police force, kept trying to save face and did not make fun of the Chinese detective. The ghost police officers had to be active. Inspector "Ge Bai" had to find the Chinese inspector on behalf of his colleagues to inquire about the situation.
