"Inspector Lei is here!"
"Hello, Brother Luo!"
There was a commotion in the crowd.
Lei Luo walked up surrounded by Lard Boy, Chen Xijiu and others.
Yan Xiong came forward with a group of detectives. Just as he was about to speak, Lei Luo ignored them and instead hooked his hand at Du Yongxiao: "Ah Xiao, come on!"
In jealousy, Du Yongxiao smiled and stepped forward: "Brother Luo, what's the matter?"
Lei Luo smiled, took out two keys from his arms and put them in his palm: "Hey, I never give gifts easily. You choose one of these two keys!"
Du Yongxiao looked at the two keys in surprise. They were both copper keys, about the same size.
Others also looked curious.
"Brother Luo, what do you mean?"
Lei Luo wiped his aquiline nose: "It means, one belongs to the tenement building and the other belongs to the office. Now you can get fame, fortune and fame at your fingertips!"
"Wow, Brother Luo wants to give fame, fortune, and wealth to handsome boy Xiao?"
“A tenement building and an office, it’s so hard to choose!”
Everyone around started shouting.
Yan Xiong felt very uncomfortable after hearing this. Lei Luo was clearly robbing people openly by doing this.
Although he and Du Yongxiao are not on the same page, they still have a "master-disciple" relationship in name. Even if they arrange an office for Du Yongxiao, he should make the decision himself!
Take a step back.
If Yan Xiong doesn't say anything this time and Du Yongxiao accepts Lei Luo's favor in front of everyone, then where will Yan Xiong put his face in the future?
"Haha, Brother Luo is really generous!" Yan Xiong didn't wait for Du Yongxiao to speak, and stood up first: "But A Luo is my subordinate after all. Even if he gives you a building or an office, I, the big boss, should make the arrangements! Here! I would like to thank Inspector Lei for your concern on behalf of Axiao!"
Lei Luo glanced at Du Yongxiao first.
Du Yongxiao smiled at him and said nothing.
Lei Luo turned his face and glanced at Yan Xiong: "Master Yan, I am listening. Do you dare to say what you just said again?"
"Ahem, what do you mean? Why don't I dare?" Yan Xiong looked at the people around him. Everyone looked at him, "Isn't it just a tenement building? How much can it cost?" He was planning to build one in the New Territories. Three or four thousand at most.
"Then do you know that I will send you to a tenement house?"
"Biandu? Could it be Tsim Sha Tsui?"
"Guess right!"
thump!
Yan Xiong almost fell down!
A tenement house in the New Territories costs RMB 3,000 to 4,000, but in Tsim Sha Tsui it costs RMB 70,000 to 80,000!
Lei Luo, a big deal!
"Wow, Brother Luo is so sharp!"
"Yes, it will be Tsim Sha Tsui Tenement House as soon as it is launched!"
Everyone looked at Du Yongxiao with envy. Detective Hua and police sergeants like them had never been treated like this - to be sent to the building by Lei Luo, it would be absolutely shocking if he said it.
Ji Bochang, the third detective in Kowloon, and others looked even more jealous at this moment. Du Yongxiao was too young, like the rising sun, the light was shining everywhere, eclipsing them. If this continues, where will their status be in Kowloon in the future?
Du Yongxiao didn't expect Lei Luo to be so generous. Seventy or eighty thousand yuan for a tenement house was not a small sum of money in this era. He was just thinking about whether to accept it or reject it when a loud voice said: "What are you doing? You have money but no place to spend it? Give it away? The ghost tenement building!"
"Master Fu is here!"
Everyone moved out of the way.
Inspector Liu Fu, who was as fat as Maitreya Buddha, came over accompanied by his nephew Liu He.
Liu Fu walked up to Lei Luo.
Lei Luo: "Master Fu---
Without saying anything, Liu Fu stretched out his fat hand and grabbed Lei Luo's two keys: "It's a meeting, please confiscate them first!"
…
In the conference room, Liu Fuduan sat at the head of the table, and almost all of the 27 detectives in Hong Kong were present.
The four detectives Lei Luo, Lan Gang, Yan Xiong, and Han Sen sat down in order next to Liu Fu. Then sit down according to the ranking of the respective jurisdictions of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.
To Yongxiao is in charge of Nathan Road, and due to his recent popularity, he was actually placed behind the third detective of Kowloon by Liu Fu, and in front of the chief detective of Yuen Long. This made the detective look at Tou Yongxiao with eyes full of hatred.
Du Yongxiao ignored the "sad" look in his eyes and carefully looked at the two detectives Lan Gang and Han Sen who had never met before.
I have to say that among the four detectives, Lei Luo is already very handsome, but he is still not as handsome as Lan Gang.
In addition to his heroic spirit, Lei Luo also has a hint of sinisterness.
Lan Gang is different. He is in his thirties, wearing a suit, with a strong body and sharp eyebrows. He is completely a male model. From the moment he entered the conference room, he spoke well and looked suave.
Han Sen was a little older, almost forty years old. He was taciturn and looked dull. He only inadvertently raised his head when Du Yongxiao looked at him, and his eyes flashed.
"You bastards, weren't you very cool outside just now? You were treating guests and sending them to the hotel! Now, why are you mute and all of them silent?" Liu Fu looked at everyone with a look of displeasure on his face, "I just want you to wait for the next month Charging double fees in order to celebrate the Queen’s birthday is not asking you to sell your sons and daughters, and your family will be ruined. What are you doing with a dead look on your face?”
Everyone smoked vigorously, and the conference room was filled with smoke.
"Now, I know it's hard to collect the fees now, and now they have to double the fees, so you have difficulties too! But you also have to think about it for me. I will retire in two years, and the Queen only rides once a year. It’s my birthday, please give me some face!”
"No, Mr. Fu, you also know the situation. Although we, Detective Hua, are very powerful, those gangs and societies are not vegetarians. If we push them too hard, we are afraid that they will jump over the wall!" Yan Xiong said with a grimace.
"Yes, Inspector Yan is right! For example, the mangy dog in my area is in the fan stall business and has always followed the rules. But now it suddenly doubled, from thirty thousand to sixty thousand. I am so embarrassed!" Inspector Yau Ma Tei Ji Bochang said.
"Hey, your well-oiled place is a little better, but unlike me, I can only collect cow dung in Yuen Long! To be honest, I can't even collect the regular monthly fees, and now I have to double them, so why not let me Go to hell!" Inspector Yuen Long complained with his eyes wide open.
"You are only thinking about yourself. What about me, who is thinking about me? The gang of ghosts above want to celebrate the queen's birthday and ask me to get a certificate. If I can't pay the double fee, I'll get out! After thinking about it, I'll get out. Why don't you get out!" Liu Fu's tone suddenly became stern, "Did you hear clearly? I am not discussing issues with you, but giving orders!"
The whole place was silent, and resentment overflowed.
The four detectives exchanged glances with each other. One word, difficult!
Only Du Yongxiao raised the corner of his mouth, his expression seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he was actually a little excited inside. This was an opportunity!
As someone who has been there, Du Yongxiao clearly knows that the fees in this era are messy. If you open a tea restaurant, you have to pay five types of protection fees: military uniforms, plainclothes, fire protection, food bureau, and community. If your business is related to shipping, you will also need to pay the marine police a protection fee.
According to the rules, on the first of every month, the relevant departments will send people to collect money from one street or one store after another. Because they can only collect money once a month, any private extortion is "violating the rules", so paying money has become a rule , this money is called "fee".
There are too many intermediate procedures for collecting fees. Often, many excuses for collecting fees are to ask for more red envelopes to celebrate your own birthday, your mother’s birthday, your wife’s concubine’s birthday, or even the family dog’s birthday. What's more, the two of them went to collect fees together. If they collected too much, they would add the extra two to five and hide it in their pockets.
This disorganized and disorderly charging method continued until Lei Luo became Inspector General Hua.
In order to earn more money, Lei Luo drastically reformed the charging system, integrating the three original departments of military uniforms, plainclothes, and firefighting, and charging unified fees. When collecting fees, he charged them according to the percentage of the other party's monthly profit, instead of One size fits all.
Since then, not only has the guest-host relationship been maintained to the maximum extent, but also some corrupt practices have been screened out, causing the monthly fees collected to triple.
Relying on this achievement, Lei Luo completely secured his position as Chief Inspector and became a rare Chinese police boss in Hong Kong.
Lei Luo's reform actually borrowed from the "one whip" in Zhang Juzheng's land tax reform in the Ming Dynasty.
In a word---
Make the complex simple and coherent!
