Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 898: Changing Track
If anyone blocks Linda's path to promotion and the path of the Chinese policemen she is training, she will use her connections to transfer these foreigners back to the London headquarters.

Or transferred to the army.

The police system of Yingguo operates completely according to the military model.

Police ranks also correspond to corresponding military ranks, and it is normal for police officers to be transferred to non-frontline combat units.

However, compared to the troops, the foreigners would definitely prefer to be transferred to the London headquarters.

The London police system in Yingguo is quite interesting.

The London Police is an independent department responsible for policing, traffic and criminal issues in the Greater London area.

It’s a bit like a municipality directly under the Central Government of China.

It has no subordinate relationship with the police in other parts of the UK and is only responsible to the Home Secretary in Downing Street.

As a result, this department has a very high degree of independence, receives relatively large amounts of financial appropriations each year, and naturally has much greater power.

Unfortunately, many white policemen in Hong Kong want to be transferred back to London, but very few can actually be transferred back.

It is very difficult to achieve this for people who have no connections and sheer sheer numbers.

But for Chu Xiangqian, what others might need hundreds of thousands of pounds to accomplish, he could do with just a phone call.

Norton has owed many favors over the years.

Not to mention him, even Norton's parents and Mountbatten would wish Chu Xiangqian would visit them more often.

In fact, foreigners are more concerned about interpersonal relationships than Chinese people.

If you owe too many favors, you will also feel uneasy, not to mention that in the series of transactions and business with Chu Xiangqian, Chu Xiangqian was the one who took the initiative.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't know was that last time he traded with Philips for more than 700 Chinese antiques stolen from the museum.

This group of people recently stole more Chinese antiques from the Albert Museum, using reasons and excuses such as they were fakes, improper preservation and could not be restored.

As the number of fine works becomes fewer and fewer, people's attention has shifted from the Albert Museum to the precious Chinese antiques in the coffins of the Daying Museum.

If Chu Xiangqian knew about this, he would definitely scold himself for being so timid that his courage was not even as great as Ying Guolao's.

Hader and the others saw that the game had been going on for several rounds, but Chu Xiangqian was just playing cards casually and chatting and laughing with Linda who was sitting next to him.

I couldn't help but exchange glances with others.

Bridge, Ge Bai and others shrugged their shoulders. They all knew very well that for Chu Xiangqian, whether Linda joined the poker club or not would not have much impact on him.

On the contrary, I and others hope that Linda can become Chu Xiangqian's spokesperson to a certain extent.

If anything happens, Linda can contact Chu Xiangqian more easily than himself and others.

If there is any personal matter, convince Linda first, and you can also say good things to Chu Xiangqian.

So Ge Bai directly mentioned that Linda was transferred to Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station to serve as the head of the mobile force and to form the Tsim Sha Tsui mobile force.

Hader and others immediately raised their hands in agreement.

People like Ge Bai are not afraid at all. As the number of mobile forces increases, they will become Chu Xiangqian's private armed forces.

This problem can be easily solved by simply changing the recruitment targets from mercenaries to local people from Hong Kong Island.

The organization belongs to the police force, the salary is paid by the police force, and the personnel are selected from the cadets of the police academy.

Police academy students and mercenaries are two completely different concepts.

One is a civil servant, the other is a hyena who gets paid to do things.

How could he become Chu Xiangqian's private soldier?
At most, the mobile forces will obey Linda's orders in the future, but they will never regard themselves as Linda and Chu Xiangqian's private armed forces.

Chu Xiangqian pretended to ask Linda if she was willing to go to Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station.

The girl rolled her eyes at Chu Xiangqian, then stood up and saluted Ge Bai, saying loudly, "thank yousir."

Ge Bai laughed and said some encouraging words, and Chu Xiangqian handed the cards in his hand to Linda.

This action officially confirmed that Linda was qualified to play cards at the table.

This means that Linda has become a member of the poker club.
-
After talking about Linda, the next thing naturally came up was the issue of radio and television licenses.

This matter is basically under Hader's jurisdiction. The only trouble is that he needs to consult with all sectors of society, which will take quite some time.
Hader's mood these days can be said to be very good.

He learned in advance that Chu Xiangqian had set his sights on the milk company, and got Chu Xiangqian's approval.

Naturally, I would not miss this opportunity to buy at a low price.

Sure enough, after he bought 200 million Hong Kong dollars worth of stocks in advance, within a few days, the share price of the Milk Company continued to rise slowly for more than ten days.

Since Hader knew the inside story, he knew at a glance that it must be Chu Xiangqian who was buying up the goods.

This immediately made Hader feel relieved.

Then I started to regret why I didn’t buy more.

Chu Xiangqian nodded to Hader. Although the old man felt that he had bought too little, the price had already been driven up and he began to hesitate again.

So when he saw Chu Xiangqian nodding to him, he thought to himself that he would wait and see for a while, and then he started talking about the milk company.

By the way, he also mentioned again that Chu Xiangqian had a conflict with the Crown Holdings, so he set his sights on the dairy company, or in other words, the large amount of land held by this company.

After hearing this, everyone looked at Chu Xiangqian, and when they saw him nod, they all became excited.

Chu Xiangqian also made it clear in advance that it might take three to five years to make money from this company.

I am also worried that the housing prices in Hong Kong Island are overheated at the moment and may fall back within a year or two.

Therefore, he still dares to guarantee that if you buy the shares of the Dairy Company at this time and hold them for a long time, you will double your money overall.

But if you bet that your judgment on housing prices is correct, then you can naturally make more money by waiting a year or two before buying Dairy Farm shares.

Everyone understands the truth: if housing prices fall, land prices will naturally fall as well.

The share price of the dairy company will certainly fall.

But when he heard Chu Xiangqian promise that the share price of the Dairy Farm would rise to HK$5 in five years at the latest, he was very happy.

Otherwise, I am willing to buy all the shares of the milk company they hold at this price.

Now everyone has no worries, and because there are so many people, everyone is buying, and the milk company’s stock price will be pushed higher in the short term.

It is better to pool your money together and buy it slowly. This period of time may last for half a year or even a year.

In case Chu Xiangqian's judgment is correct, then he can take the opportunity to buy at a low price and dilute the price of the shares purchased previously.

This is a compromise acquisition plan. Although it cannot reap the maximum dividend, it also avoids the problem of not being able to acquire enough dairy company shares.

Chu Xiangqian was eager for these guys to join the game, as he had enough money to buy more stocks.

But if your goals are too big and you absorb too much, not only will the property be worried.

Zhou Xiyuan and his son might regard themselves as enemies.

He turned to United Land and kicked himself out of the board of directors first.

If that's the case, I'd either just be a shareholder or just be a shareholder.

Otherwise, you can only sell all your stocks and cash out.

This is to avoid large amounts of money being trapped in the milk company without getting any benefits.

The purpose of people like Hader entering the game is nothing more than to make money. When the right opportunity comes, these people will most likely cash out and leave.

However, Chu Xiangqian also needs to pay attention that if the price offered by Swire Properties is higher, someone among the nine members of the poker club might sell his shares to Swire Properties.

Fortunately, this matter would take at least half a year, or several years, so Chu Xiangqian had no worries for the time being. After determining the investment amount of the nine people, and then following Chu Xiangqian's suggestion, the money was handed over to the Standard Chartered team to secretly purchase shares of the milk company.

The rest is just real card playing and entertainment.

With Chu Xiangqian's guidance, Linda found it difficult to lose.

Before 9 o'clock, there were more than banknotes on the table next to Linda.

Bridge, who lost the most, even said that Chu Xiangqian would come to the table.

It had been agreed before that Chu Xiangqian would not use gambling techniques when playing cards with them.

Chu Xiangqian himself never thought about winning money from these guys at the poker table.

After all, we are not stupid. It is impossible for us to lose tens or hundreds of thousands to him every time we meet.

But this time Chu Xiangqian didn't sit at the table, but was guiding Linda from the side, which was different.

After 9 o'clock, Linda had won 24 Hong Kong dollars.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Gentlemen, there are still many girls waiting for you. How about we end it here today?"

Hader and others quickly agreed.

After saying hello to Chu Xiangqian and Linda.

They followed San Jiangshui onto Chu Xiangqian's yacht, which was driven by Zhang Tianzhi towards Kowloon.

Chu Xiangqian himself stayed on Donglong Island.

Naturally, she enjoyed a great pleasure that night, and Zheng Shufen was able to get up early the next morning, which was a rare opportunity.

If it were in the past, if Chu Xiangqian was the only one accompanying her, Zheng Shufen would not be able to get out of bed until noon.
-
The next day at noon, Chu Xiangqian had lunch at the resort with San Jiangshui, who had followed Zhang Tianzhi back to the island on a yacht in the morning.

The two were chatting and laughing at the resort while playing golf with Linda, Alyssa and Zheng Shufen.

Chu Xiangqian winked at Sanjiangshui, and the two of them slowly moved back.

Chu Xiangqian then said, "Brother, remember what I told you a few years ago, that London couldn't just let the gangs and the police control the underground order in Hong Kong?"

Sanjiangshui was stunned and thought for a long time before he remembered that Chu Xiangqian had really said this.

He hurriedly asked, "Achu, have you heard any news about this in London?"

Chu Xiangqian naturally had never heard of it, but he knew that Lei Luo had actually voluntarily retired in 68.

The following year, he sent his wife and children to Canada.

He fled in the early 70s, before the establishment of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and reunited with his wife and children.

A few years later, he went to Taiwan again because there was no extradition law between Taiwan and Hong Kong Island.

In other words, that guy got the news in advance, which is why he took the initiative to retire.

Chu Xiangqian actually doesn't need to worry too much about Sanjiangshui. After all, he is just a small detective.

But in recent years, he has cooperated with Xia Shanbao to smuggle motorcycles and electrical appliances from the island country into Hong Kong Island.

We also expanded our business to Southeast Asia.

With money, San Jiangshui's influence in both the black and white worlds of Hong Kong Island is growing.

In just three or four years, he showed signs of surpassing Yan Tong and becoming one of the four great detectives.

Which line of this?
Even if he could keep him, it would be better to just let him quit the position of inspector rather than using his connections.

"I intend to recommend to Commander Turner of the Eastern District that you be transferred to the Marine Police as an inspector.

Your parallel import business should not be affected in the future. If London really takes action in the future, the first ones to investigate will definitely not be the water police who have little money.

They will even mobilize the marine police to go ashore to assist the foreign commissioner from London in investigating and punishing the detectives, big and small."

Sanjiangshui couldn't help but show a horrified expression on his face, "Ah Chu, is it really as serious as you said?"

Chu Xiangqian nodded seriously, "The matter is very complicated. It involves Yingguo's international image. Yingguo's economy has not been good in recent years.

In short, there are many reasons, and by then, the British foreigners will be fine.

Even most of the middle and lower level policemen will be fine, but you detectives who are more famous and make more money will become the best scapegoats.

So I suggest that you start next year to clean up the mess left over from these years.

I'll transfer you to the Water Police.

Strive to be promoted from Inspector to Chief Inspector within three to five years.

Who knows, you might become the first Chinese deputy director in the future."

Sanjiangshui, who was originally a little reluctant, immediately felt excited.

Compared to getting rich, Chinese people actually care more about their career path.

I used to think that the target was the Chief Chinese Detective, but Lei Luo, Lan Gang, and Fei Bo all have deep roots and a good relationship with Chu Xiangqian.

So Sanjiangshui felt that he had no hope and naturally focused on making money.

Now Chu Xiangqian has said that he will have the opportunity to become a deputy director in the future, let alone become a marine police officer.

It wouldn't be a problem even if the smuggling business was completely cut off.

"Achu, don't worry, I will solve the troubles left over the past few years as soon as possible."

Chu Xiangqian nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile, "Have you heard of IBM?"

Sanjiangshui actually nodded, "They sell computers. Xiashanbao and I heard from a Japanese mechanic that this company has made a lot of money in the past few years just by selling one type of computer."

Chu Xiangqian now saved himself the trouble of explaining.

"If you have money, buy more of this company's stock. I estimate that in a dozen years, this company will become the leader in the computer industry.

It is not difficult for the stock price to increase by more than ten times, or even thirty or fifty times.

Besides, your money will not be checked if it leaves Hong Kong Island."

After hearing this, Sanjiangshui's breathing became heavy.

A tenfold increase in just over a decade is enough to make one's heart beat faster and even make one ecstatic.

Chu Xiangqian actually said that it could be increased thirty to fifty times.

If that's true, why would we need to make dirty money?
Sanjiangshui nodded quickly and said, "When I get back, I will go to Standard Chartered and ask them to help me transfer some money abroad.

Then buy stock in that company.”

Chu Xiangqian suddenly had an idea, "Why don't you just borrow money from Standard Chartered to buy IBM shares.

In the future, even if this money is in a foreign country, it will be legal money.

To prevent the foreigners from being jealous of your high earnings and finding ways to say that the money you used to buy stocks was unclean and confiscate all your money.”

This guess is not impossible.

As for whether Sanjiangshui is willing?
For him, it all started when he started thinking about becoming the deputy director in the future.

My future life goal has changed from earning 30 million Hong Kong dollars to going into politics.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also gave a clear way out. Of course, he would do whatever Chu Xiangqian said.
