Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong
Chapter 1425: worth it!
Chapter 1425 1425 [It's worth it! 】
Bangkok starts to get warmer in February.
Standing high, surrounded by coconut wind, especially after the baptism of the storm, those branches and leaves look extraordinarily green and delicate.
Shi Zhijian pushed open the window, moved his arms, took a deep breath, and the refreshing air rushed towards him, making him feel refreshed.
Looking at the busy staff downstairs in the office building, Shi Zhijian picked up the phone and dialed the number at home.
Axiang answered the call. Since Shi Zhijian reported that he was going to be engaged to Li Xuexuan, the eldest lady of the Li family, the tone of Axiang's speech has obviously changed, full of sourness.
Shi Zhijian told Ah Xiang not to wait for him to go back for dinner tonight, and he might have to work overtime at the company.
Ah Xiang immediately said: "Working overtime again? Do you want me to cook for you? I heard that your company's dinner is terrible!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "That's not necessary, it's the same as eating here, anyway, I'm also a big boss and I want to share weal and woe with the employees!"
Ah Xiang let out a sigh, and said, "Then I won't disturb you to share weal and woe—what about tomorrow, will you come back tomorrow?"
"Let's talk tomorrow!" Shi Zhijian was about to hang up the phone, but he heard Axiang's grandfather, Master Ma, say, "Axiang, Mr. Shi won't come back for dinner? It's too bad, he won't come, you There is no chance, even if you learn to cook too many dishes, it is useless! He is a hero, but no one appreciates your good cooking skills! Don’t cry, don’t worry, grandpa doesn’t dislike it, help me make two abalones tonight , as well as the soup for invigorating the kidney... Mr. Shi doesn't need it anyway!"
Shi Zhijian smiled and hung up the phone. This Damascus really doesn't treat himself as an outsider.
Of course, Shi Zhijian knew better that Master Ma had deliberately told him what he said just now.
Sitting back at the desk, reviewing several documents, and picking up the "Analysis of the Report on the Establishment of a Strategic Partnership between the Bangkok Chinese Entrepreneurs Association and the Hong Kong Chinese Entrepreneurs Association", Shi Zhijian knew the conclusion without looking at it.
People from Bangkok want to go to Hong Kong, and people from Hong Kong also want to enter the Bangkok market. Everyone complements the missing, but it is also a kind of business trick.
Now Shi Zhijian is most worried about the ICAC in Hong Kong. With the growth of the ICAC, everything is out of control. Even if Shi Zhijian is the third earl of the British Empire and a Chinese member of Hong Kong, he still has no ability to influence the ICAC.
For this reason, many Hong Kong corrupt police officers, police detectives, police officers, etc., began to transfer assets by means of investment, and a large part of those assets flowed to Thailand.
Now this cooperation report has given those embezzled money a good excuse and channel for circulation. In the past few days alone, Shi Zhijian has received many phone calls from Lei Luo, Han Sen, and Lan Gang.
At the beginning, everyone still greeted each other and asked about Shi Zhijian's situation in Thailand, but soon Lei Luo and others revealed their true intentions, telling Shi Zhijian that the situation in Hong Kong is now severe, especially in the area of clean government. With the support of Sir Bailiqu, they, the heroes of the police world, couldn't bear it any longer.
Of course, it is now 1975 and everything has changed.
According to the trajectory of the previous life, at the beginning of 1970, due to the strong anti-corruption voice at that time, Lei Luo, the head of the four chief inspectors, decided to "retire bravely" in advance, and retired early at the age of 48, living a worry-free life by collecting rent and savings. Life. In 1973, before the establishment of the ICAC, Lei Luo immigrated to Canada with his eight children and his wife to evade arrest.
Canada was the country where many former Hong Kong police officers involved in corruption chose to immigrate. According to a report released by the Canadian police in 1999, at least 44 former Hong Kong police officers and their family members who were tracked down by the ICAC in the 1970s immigrated to Vancouver and Toronto. According to the report, Lei Luo came to Vancouver in the mid-1970s, settled down with his family, and then fled to Formosa.
Immediately afterwards, as the storm of anti-corruption in Hong Kong intensified, the second "quick retreat" was the chief detective Lan Gang.
About a year after Lei Luo resigned and went to Canada, Lan Gang, who often talked with Lei Luo on the phone, saw that the situation was not going well. Under Lei Luo's reminder, he also took the initiative to "retire" and quit the police force on the grounds of recuperating from illness.
It's a pity that in the end, Lan Gang was still dragged down by someone, and the person who dragged him down was a generation of heroes and lame hao.
It stems from the fact that after the establishment of the ICAC, the four chief inspectors were unable to protect themselves, and they kept releasing news, asking these people to restrain themselves temporarily, and not to overrule, so as not to suffer losses.
But Lai Hao's faction didn't listen to the advice and didn't take the ICAC seriously.
As a result, in 1974, Lai Hao returned to Hong Kong from Baodao, and nine men and women were arrested on November 12th. That year, the Laihao case involved more than 16 tons of D products, and the value of D products exceeded 400 million yuan.
Later, these D traffickers were sentenced to a total of 124 years in prison, which shocked the whole of Hong Kong. Among them, Lai Hao was sentenced to 30 years, the longest sentence. .
Lan Gang was one of those implicated in the case, and the others were arrested.
Fortunately, Lan Gang had already "retired" at this time. He fled to other places in the name of traveling abroad to avoid the limelight.
In the third year after Lai Hao was arrested, on February 11, 1977, the Hong Kong Independent Commission Against Corruption issued a warrant to hunt down Lan Gang.
But Lan Gang never returned to Hong Kong until he died of a heart attack in Thailand in 1989.
Compared to Lei Luo and Lan Gang's "quick retreat", Han Sen suffered a small loss.
When investigating the case of Lan Gang and Lai Hao, the ICAC also directly investigated Han Sen, who was then the chief inspector of Zonghua. The data showed that his total salary did not exceed 190,000 during his tenure in office, and it was found that his assets were Dozens of times the salary, so Han Sen was issued a wanted warrant.
Fortunately, Han Sen saw that the situation was not good, and with Lei Luo's support, he escaped directly and followed Lei Huo to Canada happily.
It can be said that according to the trajectory of the previous life, the ICAC will start a "big cleaning" next year at the latest in 1976, and eradicate the "Four Detectives" who shocked Hong Kong in one fell swoop!
All in all, looking at the current situation, Lei Luo, Lan Gang and Han Sen are all in a precarious situation.
In contrast, Yan Xiong, who is in the best situation, is "unlucky".
Yan Xiong has long since left the police force, and is running errands with Shi Zhijian. For this reason, he not only avoided the ICAC's investigation of him, but also got along well with Shi Zhijian, even more prestigious than when he was a detective before.
Thinking of this, Shi Zhijian smiled wryly, "What should come will always come!" He took a deep breath.
Regarding the future of Lei Luo and the others, Shi Zhijian already had a clear idea, but hearing their voices of "calling for help" in Hong Kong still made Shi Zhijian a little unbearable. He made up his mind to get things done in Bangkok and go back to Hong Kong to see the situation there. what the hell.
Jingle Bell!
But the landline rang, and Shi Zhijian picked it up, but it was the Yan Xiong mentioned just now.
"Mr. Shi, I have already arranged for you. You and Ms. Li Xuexuan will have a candlelight dinner at the French restaurant tonight-I have booked the entire restaurant. I promise that there will be no reporter! And I have arranged People are protecting you in the dark, and make sure everything goes well!" Yan Xiong panted slightly when he spoke, and he could still hear the sound of leather shoes around him and the waiter's conversation.
Shi Zhijian wondered: "French restaurant... you went there in person? Just call and let me know!"
"How can I do that? Now you are a big celebrity, and Miss Li is not an ordinary person. Those media reporters are waiting to expose your chances of dating, so you must be careful!"
Shi Zhijian immediately understood that Yan Xiong even took the initiative to go to the French restaurant to arrange security measures in order to ensure the privacy and personal safety of him and Li Xuexuan.
Sighing softly, Shi Zhijian looked at Yan Xiong with admiration for the first time. No wonder he was able to be inferior to Lei Luo in his last life and become one of the four chief inspectors. There is also the shrewdness of using actions to show loyalty, which is not something ordinary people can do.
"Master Yan, thank you for your hard work." Shi Zhijian said softly, Yan Xiong's scalp was numb for a while, and the phone almost fell to the ground, he hurriedly said: "No hard work! No hard work!" After asking Shi Zhijian if there was nothing else, he hurriedly hung up the phone , closed his eyes, and waved his fist: "Pu, your mother, it's worth it!"
…
When Shi Zhijian came to the French restaurant, he had already changed into casual clothes, baseball shirt, baseball pants, sunglasses, and a sun hat.
His white suit is very popular recently, and many stores have sold out the white suit! Countless youths in white clothes emerged on the street, each with a fairy air.
Needless to say, these people are all loyal admirers of Shi Zhijian. Although they don't know what Shi Zhijian looks like or how old he is, this does not prevent them from dressing up as Shi Zhijian.
Just imagine, being able to smile proudly in Bangkok, having the ambassadors of Britain, France, Germany and the United States come to congratulate her, and making Miss Li Xuexuan, a beautiful and intelligent lady, willingly commit herself to being a concubine, who can match such an achievement? !
Looking at the watch, Shi Zhijian laughed, the original Patek Philippe was replaced by a Seiko, the hands jumped, it was half past six.
French restaurant is the most luxurious and romantic western restaurant in Bangkok. It has always been a good place for urban men and women to date and eat.
However, because the consumption here is expensive, many young people will carefully choose whether to eat here, and what to do after eating to get back the cost.
For those wealthy people, this restaurant is a place to put on a show, have a candlelight dinner, order French giant snails, foie gras, caviar, etc., and immediately get those vain women.
Of course, few people like Shi Zhijian took over the entire restaurant at once. After all, even picking up girls is not spent like this.
Shi Zhijian came to the entrance of the restaurant. Yan Xiong was waiting for him. Seeing Shi Zhijian coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, but the manager of the restaurant followed him. Seeing Yan Xiong's posture, he had no choice but to hurry up.
Shi Zhijian can be said to be wearing casual clothes today, not even Ax Jun and Tang Long.
So he didn't care what the restaurant owner thought of him, and greeted Yan Xiong: "Are you all ready?"
"Yes, Mr. Shi! Everything has been arranged. The meals are all authentic French dishes, which you and Miss Li like to eat—I have spent a lot of effort to find out what Miss Li tastes like."
"Thank you!" Shi Zhijian patted Yan Xiong's shoulder with a smile, Yan Xiong's whole body softened immediately, and he was about to laugh out loud with happiness.
The owner of the restaurant next to him couldn't help but be surprised when he saw this. Is it so exaggerated? Why do you want to be so respectful to such a young man, and still desperately curry favor? Also, the other party just patted you on the shoulder, so you are so beautiful, as for? !
To the owner of the restaurant, Shi Zhijian is nothing special except for his handsome appearance, straight figure, and elegant demeanor!
He has been running this French restaurant for many years, and he has never seen any big bosses, but those are all big bellies, big ears, and trembling fat faces, so they are called big bosses, and they are all worth tens of millions!
"Uh, I don't know if this young man can afford the booking fee tonight? No, I still have to urge this guy surnamed Yan later, so he can't lose money!" The boss made up his mind that he would never do business at a loss.
After Shi Zhijian finished talking with Yan Xiong, he went into the restaurant alone.
Yan Xiong did not follow in, but took a deep breath from behind, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, as if he had successfully completed the task.
The owner of the restaurant took the opportunity to step forward: "That Mr. Yan, although you said that you have already paid the deposit, but the dishes tonight are the most advanced in our restaurant, and you said that you want to book the restaurant, we also lost a lot of business... So, the rest Can the money be advanced in advance?"
Who is Yan Xiong?
But as a former detective in Hong Kong, his ability to observe people is top-notch. As soon as this boss pouted his ass, he knew what **** he was doing, and immediately sneered: "Are you afraid I won't give you money?"
"No, I mean..."
"No matter what you mean, in short, I have already paid the deposit. If you ask for the balance payment now, then wait until our boss finishes eating!"
The owner of the restaurant still wanted to speak, but Yan Xiong was furious. He immediately put one hand on his hip, and pointed the other hand at the boss's forehead like a pistol: "Do you believe that I will blow your head off? Do you know who I am? I The surname is Yan! If it’s in Hong Kong, don’t say I’ll pay you~www.readwn.com~ Even if you ask me for money, I won’t care! Pu your mother, you are a low-minded guy!”
The restaurant owner was directly scolded and confused.
It was the first time he saw such a rude customer!
Seeing that he was still dumbfounded, Yan Xiong hit his head with a "pistol" again: "What are you doing stupid? Hurry up and serve my boss! If our boss is not satisfied tonight, let alone pay you, I will set him on fire This is your hotel!"
Yan Xiong originally looked like a big boss, but now that he has a violent temper, he is really full of aura!
Not to mention the owner of the restaurant closest to him, even the restaurant waiters around him felt Yan Xiong's violence, and immediately shrunk their necks one by one, guessing what this person is doing? So fierce!
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm talking too much! I'll definitely serve you well!" The owner of the restaurant was completely embarrassed. Don't forget to ask Yan Xiong: "Do you want to arrange a dinner for you too?"
Yan Xiong frowned: "What do you think?"
