Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 24 The Other Party Gave Too Much

On the second day of the protest,
Several senior supervisors from Stanley Prison went to the cells to persuade the prisoners one by one.

But as long as the boss and several deacons do not speak or agree,
Everyone can only bear it.

Now we all prosper together and suffer together.
If someone rebels,

Then he won’t have an easy time in Stanley from now on.

On the third day,
Three chief supervisors,
Including 14K undercover Liu Jianming, who also visited the scene.
These people also made a lot of promises.
But it still doesn't work.

And these two days,

Dozens of prisoners from the two societies have fainted due to hunger caused by hunger strike.
This puts prison management under increasing pressure.

They are afraid that if the protests continue,
Then it's not a matter of the prisoner fainting,

Rather, it is the terrible consequence of death from serious illness caused by severe hunger.

Finally on the fourth day,

The actual boss of Stanley Prison,

The prison governor, Mr. Howard, lowered his posture.
He went to the prison cell in person to negotiate with Jin Yachao, Changtui Rong and others.

Outsiders have no way of knowing what they said specifically.

All we know is that after leaving the cell, the warden went to the prison hospital.

Howard was ostensibly there to visit some prisoners who had fainted during the protest.

But in fact, he was asking Fang Hexuan for the "unlocking key".

Fang Hexuan admitted that he had once again underestimated Dayanming's execution ability and connections.

It is not easy to connect with such a large number of people.

It requires all kinds of deals, compromises, and unilateral promises.

Howard had never thought he would see the young prisoner again.

The visit on the day Fang Hexuan was injured was just a routine procedure.
How could he care about the grievances and injuries of a Chinese person?

"How's your recovery, young man?"

"It's OK. My ribs still hurt and my right hand can't move. The worst thing is that I vomit blood in the middle of the night."

"I think my spleen may not work properly for the rest of my life."

Howard's face turned a little cold, but he still pretended to be patient.

"Young man, what do you want to talk to me about? Or to be more direct, what are your conditions?"

"I don't want any benefits, I just feel aggrieved because I am Chinese!"

“Politicians say that truth is only as far as the cannon can reach.”

"Then why do Indians still dare to be so arrogant and bully us at will even though they were beaten to a pulp by the Chinese in 1962?"

"I thought about it for six days and finally figured it out."

"It turns out that they are just taking advantage of the power of others and think that the British gentlemen will unconditionally and without principles protect them, their slaves."

"Mr. Warden, please forgive me for such a blunt and crude conclusion."

"But I can't think of any other reason, can you?"

Fang Hexuan stared at the other person with a firm expression.

Howard listened for a long time and was a little surprised.

He seemed to look down on the Chinese prisoner, so he also explained seriously.

"Hong Kong is a colony of our British Empire, and the Chinese in Hong Kong are also citizens of the empire."

"Legally, we don't have a situation where we treat one ethnic group differently."

"Therefore, I can answer you with certainty that in our eyes, Indians and Chinese are equal in personality and status."

"I also believe in the fairness of Mr. Warden."

Fang Hexuan pretended to be very satisfied.
"In this case, I hope the prison director can handle it impartially, open a case against Singh and give me justice."

"You know what? On the first day of the protest, he brought people to arrest me while I was still in bed and unable to move."

Howard frowned, looking somewhat unhappy, and said:

"Someone reported the incident to me on the same day, and I have suspended him from his duties to reflect on his actions." "I am here this time to promote reconciliation between the two sides. There is no need to make a big fuss about this matter. It will not bring any practical benefits to Stanley Prison."

"If the warden cannot agree to my reasonable request, then I'm sorry, but I will ask my friends - the 800 brothers from Lao Chao and the Big Four - to continue protesting to the end."

"In addition, I will report to the outside media that Mr. Singh, a senior prison guard at Stanley Prison, was involved in a number of horrific crimes including racial discrimination, violent law enforcement and intentional injury."

Fang Hexuan still spoke slowly and calmly.

Howard's patience had run out. He stared at the other person with contempt in his eyes:
"Tell me, what do you want?"

".I want to make a fair deal with Mr. Warden."

Fang Hexuan smiled slightly.

"What deal?"

“First, I can ask my brothers from Lao Chao and the Big Four to end the protests.”

"Second, I can drop my request for an internal judicial investigation into Mr. Singh."

"Third, I will not disclose any information that is unfavorable to Stanley Prison and Mr. Singh himself to the media."

"What about the conditions?"

"I have only one condition, one for three. I am quite sincere. I hope Mr. Warden will not let me down."

"Tell me."

"I would like to contract the supply of daily necessities and food to all prisons in Hong Kong. I would like to ask the warden to help lobby the Prison Department and make this happen."

Fang Hexuan said slowly and forcefully.

Howard's eyelids twitched a few times, obviously shocked, but he then fell silent again.

"After I get the contract signed with the prison department, I can immediately deposit 100 million Hong Kong dollars into the secret account in a Swiss bank. This account will belong exclusively to the warden."

After hearing what he said, Howard subconsciously rubbed his right thumb and index finger against each other a few times.

"I can promise you that as long as the prison department agrees to sign a contract with me, I can return an additional 500 million Hong Kong dollars in profits every year."

Fang Hexuan confidently and calmly tempted him with benefits.
"I can also give Mr. Warden the authority to use another HK$100 million to help you overcome some difficulties and obstacles that I have not anticipated."

Howard was completely shocked at this time.

He did not expect that in Stanley Prison,
There is such a little person,

Wanting to swallow up the heavens and the earth,

The ambition is quite big.

But he was also very excited.

The conditions offered by the other party are really too generous.

Not only will you no longer cause trouble for yourself,
It can also bring benefits to yourself.

Even if he is an imperial official and gentleman,

I have to admit,

This deal - can be done!

So, he nodded naturally and without hesitation:

"I'll do my best to help you get the contract."
