Spokesperson of the Hong Kong Comprehensive Police Force

Chapter 663 New Problems after Consensus
During the period when Wong Bing-yao was streamlining the work of the entire police force, Zeng Yuming was also familiarizing himself with the operational work.

He moved from a supervisory position with DCPs to become one of the people in charge of operations in the force.

Of course he had to be fully aware of the situation under his control.

Even though his police career has now come to an end, he still needs to stand his last shift.

Otherwise, if there are serious work mistakes during your tenure, you will be held accountable by your superiors.

By then, losing his integrity in his later years would be a small matter, but completely losing his long-term salary and benefits would affect his actual interests.

What's more, his promotion path within the police force has basically reached its limit, but this does not mean that his career will stop there.

After all, the police force is just one of the departments under the Hong Kong government.

As long as he demonstrates his abilities well enough and has the conditions to operate, Zeng Yuming can completely break out of the framework of the police force.

Isn’t the current Deputy Director Lu of the Security Bureau the best example?
When Lu Minghua left the police force, his position rank was even lower than that of Zeng Yuming.

Whether it is working in the police force until retirement, or leaving the police force and heading for a new future and environment.

The most important point here is that Zeng Yuming’s work performance must be excellent enough.

Faced with the power of the two big bosses, Yi Ge and Quan Sir, he had no intention of taking complete control of the police force's operations.

But this does not mean that he will do nothing and wait for death.

Zeng Yuming is also very concerned about the possibility that the police force's front-line CID may be hacked and eavesdropped on by high-tech criminals when performing tasks.

Even though Yige did not push the proposal for the police force's third-generation communication system today, he was even prepared to bring it up at the core management meeting.

"Qi! What do you think?"

Huang Bingyao nodded slightly, and his gaze turned again and fell on the management DCP Cai Yuanqi next to Zhou Quan.

The National Security DCP, who was almost equivalent to the second-in-command of the police force, and the Operations DCP, who was closely related to the communications system, all agreed with his idea.

Logically speaking, Huang Bingyao doesn't need to ask Cai Yuanqi for his opinion again.

Whether he agrees or not will not affect the implementation of this proposal at all.

But that’s not how police work is done.

As the DCP of the police force, Cai Yuanqi’s voice cannot be missing from the core management of the police force.

Whether you support or oppose, you must give him the opportunity to express his attitude.

Of course, Cai Yuanqi is not an idiot. How could he possibly cause trouble for Huang Bingyao at this time?
First of all, he simply did not have the ability to deny the three people, Yi Ge, Quan Sir, and Zeng Sir, who had already reached a consensus.

The No. 1 officer and the National Security DCP alone can completely determine the direction of the entire police force.

What's more, now we have to add an action DCP.

Even if Cai Yuanqi had that intention, he did not have enough votes.

The second is his management DCP position, which was promoted by Huang Bingyao.

His boss is setting the stage for the show, how could he possibly sabotage it from below?

The most crucial point is, as Zhou Quan said, the police force’s third-generation communication system has indeed reached a point where it is imperative.

Both publicly and privately, Cai Yuanqi could not have any objections.

"Sir, I also agree with Sir Quan and Sir Zeng's views."

Cai Yuanqi cleared his throat and said slowly, "It's just that the police force originally had a plan to update their equipment this year."

"If the third-generation communication system is approved, it will be a huge expense."

“The police force’s budget for the past two years certainly cannot achieve this.”

It must be said that Cai Yuanqi's personal ability is definitely sufficient for him to sit in his current position. He first expressed his support, and then raised a new question within his own scope of authority.

The police force has launched a project to build a third-generation communications system, but that is not something that can be implemented on the ground just by talking about it.

A hefty budget is the most critical aspect.

As long as you have money, everything will be easy.

If you don’t have money, you can only think about it.

"Jiehui, what does your Ministry of Finance say?"

The corners of Huang Bingyao's mouth twitched slightly, and he looked at Liu Jiehui who was sitting at the outermost part of the long conference table.

Huang Bingyao was also very troubled by the questions raised by Cai Yuanqi.

The Hong Kong government implements a policy of high salaries to maintain integrity, and the welfare benefits of various departments are well-known throughout the world.

Under such circumstances, the budgets of various departments are naturally sufficient.

However, the police force suddenly decided to launch a third-generation communication system project.

The amount of money required for this is definitely not something that can be accomplished with just tens of millions of dollars.

At the very least, it has to be in the hundreds of millions, and it will tend to be in the tens digits.

Since we want to strengthen the communications security of the police force, we must do it in one step and reach the world's first-class or even top level again.

If it starts off well but ends badly, it would be better to continue using the current second-generation communication system.

It can be foreseen that once Huang Bingyao’s proposal is fully implemented.

Then his work in the next few months will probably need to focus on the Government House and the Government Headquarters Building.

He will definitely be a frequent visitor to Mr. Dong and Mr. Finance in the coming period.

"Sir, the police force's budget this year is sufficient, which is more than enough to support the original uniform change plan."

Liu Jiehui quickly thought about it in his mind, and finally answered the boss's question with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

“But if we launch a third-generation communication system, there will definitely be a big gap.”

“Even with the budget surplus in the next two or three years, it would be impossible to realize this plan.”

Since he took office as the Minister of Finance, the police force's financial statements have been very good in the past two years.

According to Liu Jiehui's current performance, he will be promoted to Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police once SACP Chan, the Director of the Financial Planning Department, retires.

And this period of time will only be about two or three years at most.

After all, SACP Zhan is an old colleague of DCP Zeng Yuming, and also a subordinate of the predecessor DCP Huang.

In terms of age, SACP Zhan is a few years older than Zeng Yuming, and his tenure in the police force is about to reach the limit.

Considering his job, Liu Jiehui actually had something in his heart that he hadn't said.

That is unless some of the police operational budget is cut.

In this way, the budget surplus of two to three years can be used to ensure the effective implementation of the police force's third-generation communication system.

It’s just that the top guy is an action-oriented person, and below him is Sir Quan, who is also an action-oriented person.

Even Sir Tsang, who originally belonged to the police management faction, is now in charge of police operations, and he expressed his support without hesitation.

Unless he is mentally ill, there is no way he would come up with the idea of ​​cutting the police force's operational budget.
