"Congratulations, you will be the Commissioner of Police in a few days, and I am just an old man who has retired. It is so kind of you to come and see me." In an ordinary villa in Taiping Mountain, Yan Guoli looked at the visiting Yan Guoli. Han Yili responded with a smile.
"You can't say that. You are a senior who should respect you, and you have not stepped down. I have heard that there is a 100% chance that you will become a member of Parliament. If you step down here, you can take office there.
This is a member of the ancestral family, not a division director in Xiangjiang. "Faced with Han Yili's modesty, the new Police Commissioner Yan Guoli responded with a smile.
"That's what I said, but I am in my ancestral home and I am beyond my reach to Xiangjiang. If you come to see me today if you have anything to do, please let me know."
Han Yili shook his head and asked.
Yan Guoli is right. By cooperating with Lei Weidong, Han Yili not only made a lot of money, but his reputation has also spread to his family. There is no need to dream about the position of speaker. It is too high to reach. Members can say One hundred percent got it.
This made Han Yili confirm that it was correct to cooperate with Lei Weidong. This line is not going to be cut off in the future and they will continue to cooperate.
"It's mainly about Lei Weidong. You also know that he has contributed a lot. Yau Tsim District is now peaceful. Not only are there fewer major cases, but there are also a lot less petty thefts.
Even if the position cannot be transferred, the police rank must be promoted to match the position. However, he is Chinese and so young. Will his promotion have any impact on us? "
"It will definitely have an impact, but Lei Weidong can't be suppressed if he wants to. Compared with his achievements in business, his position in the police force is nothing, and I won't feel bad if he loses it."
Han Yili shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course the most important thing is that he is the kind of person who doesn't offend others unless you offend me. As long as you don't offend him, he won't cause trouble for you. It would be good if you cooperate. Duoduo, if that's the case, why should you go against it and cause trouble for yourself?
We come to Hong Kong to make money, and suppressing the Chinese is within the allowed range. If it goes beyond this range, let the governor and the ancestors worry about it. "
Han Yili hated Lei Weidong. In a money-oriented society like Xiangjiang, as long as Lei Weidong had enough money, not to mention the police force in shopping malls could gain huge connections.
He didn't need to keep in touch with his feelings, his confidante would help him handle it properly and responsibly.
Just like the welfare house purchase fund launched by Oriental Group for the police force, Hong Kong police officers are in regional or district areas, whether in Hong Kong Island, Kowloon or the New Territories.
As long as the position is above that of a police sergeant and the age is over 28 years old, anyone can purchase a property with extremely low down payment and interest in the real estate launched by Oriental Group.
This alone has benefited countless police officers.
Although most of the inspectors are hopeless, many sergeants can still do it if they work hard. Lei Weidong can be said to have won the hearts of all the middle and lower levels of the police force.
Not to mention the Oriental Group's welfare for Yau Tsim District, many police officers dreamed of Lei Weidong becoming their commander.
This is different from Lei Le.
Leile bought the police force with money from gangsters. He used his position to collect protection money from gangsters and then distributed it to the police force. His power came from his position as chief detective. He seemed to be taking all the money from black and white, but in fact The weaknesses are obvious.
If the chief detective position is removed, Lei Le will be blinded.
Except for their confidants and followers, most of the police officers chose to protect themselves wisely and watched Lei Le fight with the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Lei Weidong is different.
In addition to his position in the police force, his power comes more from his career. There are not only 100,000 but also 80,000 or even more people in Hong Kong who rely on Lei Weidong for their livelihood.
This is similar to Huo Daheng.
In the 1960s and 1970s, Huo Daheng fought against the ghost guy with real swords and guns. The ghost guy had no other solution except cutting off water and electricity for his company. However, after being silent for a period of time at the end of the 1970s, Huo Daheng rose up again with high profile. Back to the top ten wealthy families in Xiangjiang.
"I understand, I just want to know how to deal with Lei Weidong in the future." Listening to Jun's words was better than ten years of reading, Yan Guoli nodded, indicating that he knew how to deal with Lei Weidong.
Soon, the day came for the new director to take office. Han Yili officially left the police force and entered politics, and deputy director Yan Guoli took his place.
Because Huang Bingyao's position has not moved!
Lei Weidong is still the commander of Yau Tsim District, but his police rank has been raised one level to the title of chief superintendent.
As for the bottom!
Li Zhongguang was promoted to senior superintendent.
Instructor Hu and Yazi took advantage of the east wind to cross the boundary between inspector and superintendent, becoming the only three female superintendents in Hong Kong.
Jian Huizhen and Bai Kailun were promoted to chief inspectors, Chen Yalun, Hui Yinghong, Zhu Huabiao, Ma Jun and others were promoted to senior inspectors. Li Ying did not move and was still in the traffic police team.
Further down, Yin Mingyang, Guo Haihua, Fang Zheng, Song Zijie and others crossed the line of assistant police officers and became trainee inspectors.
------
"Now, I would like to invite Director Yan to make a statement on his appointment. Everyone welcomes her with warm applause." In the conference room of the headquarters, a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes stood on the podium and shouted loudly.
Amid the warm applause from the audience, Yan Guoli walked onto the stage with a smile and began his first speech as director.
"Director, congratulations on becoming the first member of the House of Representatives." In the audience, Lei Weidong happened to be sitting next to Han Yili and congratulated him in a low voice.
"Tongxi, I heard that you borrowed a large amount of money from Japan Bank. Do you have a big job?" Han Yili responded in a low voice.
"I can't hide it from you, Director, I'm really doing something big." Lei Weidong nodded and said with a smile.
After more than two months of intense negotiations, Oriental Group, represented by Lei Weidong, finally reached an agreement with Tsukamoto Bank, using Oriental Group's properties and shares in Hong Kong and the mainland as collateral.
A loan of 21 billion U.S. dollars worth of yen, or 5 trillion yen, was loaned for four years. The loan can be repaid in advance, but cannot be delayed. The interest on early repayment remains unchanged.
At the same time, it was agreed that the loan repayment currency was Japanese yen but settled in U.S. dollars. In other words, Tsukamoto Bank brought Japanese yen worth US$21 billion to Eastern Group.
Four years later, Eastern Group returned yen worth US$21 billion plus interest, and the exchange rate losses were borne by itself.
Because it is the largest loan since the establishment of Tsukamoto Bank, it naturally needs to be publicized in a big way.
Although ordinary people may not know it, people like Han Yili definitely know it, so they just ask casually.
"Lei, why do you want to get a loan from Riben Bank, but not Xiangjiang Bank? I am very familiar with the senior executive of HSBC Bank. I mentioned you specifically when I met him yesterday, and I hope to strengthen cooperation in the future." Han Yili said softly.
Lei Weidong understood its meaning.
In the past, HSBC did not lend large amounts to itself because Li Chaoren and Uncle Li were causing trouble inside.
As Gui Lao's official businessman, when competing with Lei Weidong, HSBC will definitely take care of its own people and support Lei Weidong in terms of funds.
Now that Lei Weidong has borrowed a large amount of yen from Japan Bank, there is no pressure on funds. HSBC will naturally increase its cooperation with Lei Weidong for performance reasons.
"Even if you don't tell me, Director, I will go to HSBC."
Wanting to understand the meaning of HSBC asking Han Yili to pass the message, Lei Weidong smiled and said,
"The cash in my hand is all in Japanese yen. It is a bit inconvenient to use it in Xiangjiang. I am preparing to deposit the Japanese yen in the bank and get a mortgage loan in US dollars. Director, please help me. When I get the loan, the interest rate will be lower and the discount will be smaller. Some."
"Okay, Lei, I will definitely bring you your words." Han Yili chuckled.
"Brother Ninth!"
After staying in Xiangjiang for more than a year, Yan Guoli also contracted the problem of long speeches in meetings. After the speech that lasted for more than an hour, Lei Weidong walked out of the conference room dizzy.
After saying hello to Lin Meng, Uncle Biao and others, Lei Weidong was just about to leave their world with Yazi when he received a call from Xijiu.
"Brother Dong, are you free now?" Instead of calling him Xiao Lei before, as Lei Weidong's status improved, Chen Xijiu's name for Lei Weidong also changed, from Xiao Lei to A Dong, and finally to Dong. elder brother.
"I just came out from the General Administration. The new director took office today. The meeting lasted for two hours. Brother Ninth, you are the elder. Just call me A Dong. There is no need to call me Dong Ge. I'm unfamiliar. You can call me. What's wrong with me, am I in trouble?"
Among Lei Le's followers, Lei Weidong has the best relationship with Chen Xijiu, because he is a rare good person among the detectives. Although he is also greedy, he only takes his own money and never reaches out for more.
"I'm fine. Brother Zai, also known as Lard Zai, is looking for you. I hope you can help." Chen Xijiu replied.
"Lard Boy, hasn't he retired? If you need anything, come to me."
Like Chen Xijiu, Lardboy was unable to leave Xiangjiang. They went to prison together. Unlike Chen Xijiu, who only worked for three and a half years before being released, Lardboy spent nearly five years in jail before being released.
After coming out, I bought a villa in the countryside of the New Territories and lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests without paying attention to worldly affairs.
"It's not because of the child." Thinking of his precious daughter, Chen Xijiu sighed, "Brother Zai's son joined Wireless as an editor after graduating from college, and he always wanted to be a director.
You also know that no matter how serious seniority is, Brother Zai's son has no chance at all, so he just wants to make movies. Don't ask me for this. I hope you will give your child a chance for the sake of your past, Qian Zai. Brother can do it, as long as the movie can be released. "
"Brother Zai is kind to me. As long as his child is not bad, I can help him with this. Where are you?" Lei Weidong didn't have much ill feelings towards Lard Zai and said in silence for a while.
"The Peninsula Hotel is not far from the police station." Chen Xijiu said.
"Peninsula Hotel, okay, I'll be there in a minute." Lei Weidong told Yazi to go back first and drove straight to the Peninsula Hotel.
"Brother Dong, here."
When he walked into the restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel, he saw Chen Xijiu standing in the corner of the hall waving to him. There were two people standing next to him. The older one, a fat man who looked to be in his fifties or almost sixty, was Lard Boy.
We haven’t seen each other for a while. Lardboy is getting fatter and fatter, and he looks more and more like Tigress’s father, Uncle Bo.
If he hadn't known that Uncle Bo was played by Wang Jing's father, Lao Wang, Lei Weidong would really have thought that Lardboy was Uncle Bo's illegitimate son, and Lei Le trusted him so much because they were brothers-in-law.
A little fat man who is younger and looks to be in his twenties. Needless to say, he must be the son of Lardboy. He looks exactly like Lardboy when he was young.
The two of them stand together, and one look at them shows that they are father and son.
"Son, this is Brother Dong, the most dazzling new star in the police force and the richest man in Hong Kong. I will see your performance soon. He said, as long as you are not too bad, you can become a great director." Seeing Lei Weidong coming, Zhu You Zai whispered to his son.
"Don't worry, Dad, I know how to do it." The son nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Long time no see. Brother Dong, you are still so handsome. Come on, let me introduce you. This is my son, Wang Jing. My son's name is Brother Dong." The lard guy with a thin head smiled so much that his eyes were bent, and he stretched out his hands. Come out and shake hands with Lei Weidong.
"Hello, Brother Dong, you are my idol. I often hear my dad say how awesome you are at home, and today I finally met you in person." Wang Jing said with a smile.
"Your name is Wang Jing." Looking at the fat man who called himself Wang Jing, Lei Weidong felt a little dizzy.
"Yes." Wang Jing nodded and explained, "Lard Boy is my father's nickname. His surname is Wang and his full name is Wang Tianlin, so it is normal for me to be called Wang Jing."
"It's indeed normal." Lei Weidong smiled, "Back then, I was so used to calling him brother, I even forgot to ask him his last name."
"I have retired from the world, so I can still call me Brother, Brother Dong. You can call me Lao Wang or Fatty Wang. It's so cordial." Zhu Luzai said with a smile.
"Let's call him Brother Zai!" Lei Weidong shrugged, "No matter what, you are a senior, Brother Zai. It's too rude to call you Lao Wang or Fatty Wang."
Lei Weidong's words cheered up the lardboy. He didn't expect that Lei Weidong could still miss his old friendship. He was very happy that his son had a way out. This was the richest man in Hong Kong. If he was willing to help, he would definitely make his son lose his life. Ten years of struggle.
"You guys chat slowly, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first." Seeing Lei Weidong and Lard Boy chatting happily, Chen Xijiu breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that today's matter was done, so he said.
"Brother Jiu, if you have something to do, leave first. Come and chat when you have time. There will be fewer and fewer old people like us in the future." Lei Weidong nodded and said goodbye to Chen Xijiu.
"Lard Boy and I are old people who cannot keep up with the times. Brother Dong, you are different. You are in the best time now. We still hope that you will break the boundaries and become the first Chinese director in Hong Kong." Chen Xijiu joked. Say a few words, get up and leave.
"Brother Zai!" Lei Weidong took a sip of the tea brought by the servant before he asked with a smile, "From what Brother Jiu said, you came to me because...
"Well!" When the conversation got down to business, Lardboy was very serious, "Brother Dong, when I visit you today, in addition to catching up with old friends, I mainly talk about movies.
After Wang Jing graduated from college, he always wanted to enter the entertainment industry and make movies. He wrote a lot of scripts and wanted you to comment on them, Brother Dong. "
"Okay!" Lei Weidong smiled, "I am also a movie lover, otherwise I would not invest in film companies and theaters. If you have a good script, just come up with it. If possible, I will not only invest, but also give Your best shot."
"Really!" Wang Jing, the little fat man, perked up. His face no longer looked honest and honest. Instead, it looked shrewd and he inherited all the advantages of his father.
"Of course it's true." Lei Weidong nodded.
"That's just right. I have a wonderful idea here. Brother Dong, can you help me take a look?" Wang Jing took out a stack of manuscripts from his briefcase. He had obviously prepared them and was waiting for Lei Wei. Dong spoke.
"Ha ha!"
Wang Jing's actions made Lei Weidong laugh out loud, but it was nothing, so he just read the script for fun.
"hehe!"
After taking the script, Lei Weidong flipped through a few pages and burst into laughter.
This is Lei Weidong's previous life, the famous comedy movie "Happy Ghost" with Xiaobo and students as the main body in Hong Kong movies. An investment of more than one million and less than two million was exchanged for more than 10 million in box office, not to mention the box office. He filmed several movies in a row and became popular with a large number of newcomers.
"How did you come up with this idea?" Lei Weidong asked after reading the script.
"It was at a party of a middle school." Wang Jing said while looking at Lei Weidong, "A few students performed a play about campus hauntings. I thought it was very interesting, so I wrote this script.
It's just a pity that people at Wireless thought the script was too naive. Although the investment was not much, just over one million, it was difficult to find a market for the film, so I had no choice but to go out and find investors.
Brother Dong, if you think it's suitable and can invest, I won't ask for a script fee, as long as you let me direct it, I guarantee that this film will definitely make money. "
"make money!"
Wang Jing's words made Lei Weidong smile, "There is no problem with investment, but I have a few questions to ask."
"Brother Dong, tell me." Wang Jing said with a smile, "I will definitely answer everything I know."
"You said this script will definitely make money. How can you tell that the main audience of the movie is that group of people."
Wang Jing organized the language and said: "The reason why it is definitely profitable is that the main audience of the script is students, young people between the ages of thirteen and twenty-two. This group is very large and accounts for 10% of the moviegoers." More than a third of the crowd.
But now, there are no movies targeting this group of people, so I believe that as long as the movie captures the core of students and comedy, and is released during the summer or winter vacation, the box office will definitely surprise everyone. "
"That's right." Wang Jing's words made Lei Weidong nod his head. He was very doubtful whether this fat man corresponded to Wang Jing. The two had the same name, the same appearance, and similar personalities. If they had the same talents, he would pick them up. Treasure.
"What are your thoughts on actors?" Lei Weidong continued to ask.
"Because I'm a new director, even with your support, Brother Dong, I can't increase investment, so I'm going to look for newcomers and veteran actors, not stars."
"Old actor and newcomer?"
"Yes." Wang Jing nodded,
“The most important characters in the film are Happy Ghost and three female students, plus the playboy at most.
Happy Ghost requires acting skills and needs to find an old actor who is not well-known. There are many such people at TVB and major film companies, and a salary of tens of thousands of dollars is enough.
As for the three female students, in order to make the film more relevant to the student community, I plan to go to the school to find new ones. As long as they are innocent, lively, pretty, smart, and have some acting skills, it doesn’t matter. I just need to spend some time training them. "
"If you say so, I have two candidates here. You can meet them and see if they are suitable." The newcomer Wang Jing said reminded Lei Weidong of Zhu Wanfang and Xiao Stutter.
In real life, both of these two made their debuts in "Happy Ghost", so it would definitely be appropriate for them to play the female students. "
"Brother Dong, you have such high vision, you must be talking to the right person." Wang Jing chuckled.
Wang Jing is not only not worried about Lei Weidongsai, but also happy, because it means that the investors attach great importance to the film, as for rights.
hehe!
Wang Jing is not a person who easily seizes power. The biggest factor in making a movie is to make money and become famous. As long as he can make money and become famous, even if a bunch of bad actors are given to him, Wang Jing can find a way to make things happen.
"Brother Dong, this movie focuses on winter vacation or summer vacation. It's already March, so there's no need to consider winter vacation. I'm going to spend my summer vacation this year. What do you think?"
"Is it a rush to select people, shoot, and edit in a few months during the summer vacation?" Lei Weidong asked.
"There's enough time. I've already conceived the movie in my mind. All I have to do is shoot it." Wang Jing pinched his fingers and said, "Selecting people, finding locations and other preparations can be done in half a month and up to 20 days.
Filming can be done in a month if it's slow, or in 20 days if it's quick.
As for the subsequent soundtrack and editing, I worked harder and finished it in twenty days.
Based on this calculation, it can be completed in two months at most, that is, mid-May. There is still one month before the summer vacation, which is enough time to promote it. "
"Really!" Lei Weidong nodded and thought to himself, he is indeed a fast shooter, exactly like Wang Jing in reality.
"How much budget do you want?" Lei Weidong asked the key question.
"This!" Wang Jing chuckled, "You just have to give it to me. One million is the starting point. If you give me 800,000, I can find a way to shoot it. It doesn't matter 1.2 million or 1.3 million." Too much."
"I'll give you 1.5 million." Lei Weidong waved his hand and said, "Although it is a film made by a newcomer with a small investment, the quality must be guaranteed."
"One and a half million, that's great." Wang Jing was overjoyed when he heard the number given by Lei Weidong. He looked at the indifferent Lei Weidong and said with some embarrassment:
"If I had 1.5 million, I could be more careful when shooting to make the film more effective and definitely meet your requirements, Brother Dong."
"How is your director's remuneration calculated?" Lei Weidong asked again, "Is it a fixed box office or a share."
"It all depends on how you give it to me, Brother Dong." Wang Jing rolled his little eyes and said flatteringly, "I want it as long as you give it to me. Just watch it."
"Don't just give it. Just name a number. As long as it's not too high, I'll agree." Lei Weidong waved his hand and motioned to Wang Jing to raise it himself.
"I'd better get a fixed salary." Wang Jing said cautiously, "Because I'm also a newcomer, and I make movies to become famous. Just give me 50,000 yuan. If the most movies are made, if the box office is good, give me Just a red envelope.”
"What about the movie copyright? Who owns the copyright of "Happy Ghost"?"
"Of course it belongs to you." Wang Jing gave up the copyright easily.
"I will do as you say. The basic salary is 50,000 yuan. If the box office is a hit, I will give you a red envelope that is no less than the salary." Seeing Wang Jing's atmosphere, Lei Weidong was also very happy and said:
"I'll call the film company later. You can come over tomorrow and we can discuss the details."
"Okay, thank you Brother Dong." Wang Jing was very happy to get the investment so quickly.
