"It's easy to drop prices but hard to raise prices. This is true." Hong Jipeng nodded.
As an old man from Xiangjiang, he knew about the Star Ferry turmoil. It was because the Star Ferry was planning to raise the first-class cabin from 2 cents to 50 cents. As a result, people collectively protested, which almost led to a big riot.
This shows how sensitive the public are to the tolls for crossing Victoria Harbor. If the fares can be increased, the tolls in Hung Hom will not remain unchanged for decades.
"For Kongtong Holdings and CITIC Pacific, what they want is long-term interests. Although the Western District Tunnel is currently operating at a low efficiency, it does not matter. As Hong Kong's economy continues to develop, car ownership will continue to increase, and the number of vehicles passing through the Western District Tunnel will continue to increase. .
Even if it cannot catch up with Hung Hom and Eastern District, it will still be possible to have more than 100,000 vehicles per day in ten years.
For a tunnel that can run for decades or even hundreds of years.
Although lowering the toll standard now will increase revenue due to the increase in daily traffic, the loss will be in the future, which will cause future revenue to decrease exponentially. This is something that the two major shareholders of Gangtong Holdings and CITIC Pacific cannot tolerate.
I proposed price reduction several times on the board of directors but they rejected it. "
"So you are stuck, unable to advance or retreat with the shares of the Western Harbor Crossing Company." Yan Guorong's words made Hong Jipeng understand that the capitalists are really evil. For the sake of long-term interests, they would rather waste resources than lower prices.
"Yes, I invested in the West End Tunnel to make money, but as a result, I couldn't make any money, not to mention I owed a lot of debt to the bank."
Yan Guorong shook his head and complained, "Gongtong Holdings is not only the major shareholder of the Western District Tunnel, but also the major shareholder of Hung Hom and Eastern District. He is the largest shareholder of the three major tunnels.
If the east is not bright, the west is bright. If the Western Harbor Crossing does not make money, Hung Hom and the Eastern Harbor Crossing can make money. People focus on the long-term interests of the Western Harbor Crossing.
As for CITIC Pacific, this is capital from the mainland. The chairman is the son of the red capitalist Mr. Rong, and he does not care about the profits of the Western Harbor Crossing.
just me.
If you hold Western Harbor Crossing shares in your hands, if you don't make enough profit to repay the bank loan interest, you will lose money all the time.
If you want to sell.
Because there are too many shares in hand, an announcement must be made according to regulations. However, if there is no good news, the share price of Western Harbor Crossing will plummet instantly. A stock worth one billion may only cost two or three billion, which is not enough to repay the bank loan.
As for selling to those big players.
Everyone knows the attitude of Hong Kong Link Holdings and CITIC Pacific. Buying Western Harbor Crossing shares means losing money, and no one wants them.
As for selling to Gangtong Holdings and CITIC Pacific, these two companies know my predicament and will suppress the stock price to death. They will take a piece of my flesh and sell it to them at a loss. "
"So, you came to me and asked me how to help you kidnap the people in charge of Hong Kong Connect Holdings and CITIC Pacific and let them buy your stocks at a high price?" Hong Jipeng asked.
"No!" Yan Guorong shook his head, "Western Harbor Crossing Company involves too many interests, and it won't work even if you take out the major shareholders of Hong Kong Link Holdings. As for the chairman of CITIC Pacific, it's better not to mess with him.
I want you to take control of the Hung Hom Tunnel, take all the passengers inside as hostages, and threaten the British Hong Kong government to buy back all the shares of the Western Harbor Crossing Company.
The British Hong Kong government is rich and has tens of billions of dollars in foreign exchange reserves. It is trivial to spend billions of dollars to acquire the Western Harbor Crossing Company.
In this way, I can get rid of the problem smoothly and have a large surplus after paying off the bank loan. When the time comes, let alone give you 100 million, I can even give you 100 million more. "
Yan Guorong's words were half true and half false, which convinced Hong Jipeng.
"Two hundred million, you are so generous." Hong Jipeng was moved when he heard that Yan Guorong added another 100 million.
Although this business is risky, the need to control the Hung Hom Tunnel threatens the British Hong Kong government, which can be said to be all-powerful.
But the benefits are really great.
I have worked hard for so many years but have never made 100 million. It is really attractive to be able to make 200 million this time.
"Boss Hong, I heard that your brother was detained by the police. You can definitely take this opportunity to rescue your brother, compared to hundreds of hostages and the Hung Hom Tunnel.
It couldn't be easier to get the police to let someone go. "Seeing Hong Jipeng's heart move, Yan Guorong added another bargaining chip. Hong Jipeng's younger brother was also his right-hand man.
then!
Hong Jipeng's gang was surrounded by the police, but Hong Jipeng was lucky enough to escape.
However, his younger brother was captured alive by the police in order to cover him. This was Hong Jipeng's heartache. He had wanted to rescue his younger brother for a long time, but he never had the chance. But this time, he could beat his legs with grass and get his younger brother out of prison.
When the time comes when the brothers work together to cut off the gold, with money and people, they will definitely be able to build a big empire.
"I need time." Hong Jipeng thought about it carefully and said, "Hijacking the Hung Hom Tunnel is a big project. I not only need to recruit troops, but also make a detailed plan.
It's just explosives. To blow up the Hung Hom Tunnel, you need tons of explosives. Transporting so much explosives into Xiangjiang is a big project. If the police discover it, all your efforts will be in vain.
"How much time do you need?" Yan Guorong asked.
"Three months, I need at least three months." Hong Jipeng stretched out three fingers and said, "If it is less than this time, I would rather not make this money."
"Okay, I'll give you four months to prepare. Just get it done before the end of the year." Although Yan Guorong needs money to get out of the current predicament, he can still wait for a few months.

West Kowloon General Administration!
"Li Ying, you did a good job. You killed the Gongmu family members just after they entered Xiangjiang. Although you didn't catch Gong Muhong, you took away all his elite men. It was enough to make him feel distressed."
Looking at Li Ying with a blushing face, Lei Weidong laughed loudly and said, "The credit this time is so great, it is enough for brothers to be promoted to the next level. That is to say, you have only been promoted to superintendent not long ago, otherwise you can also mention it."
"Brother Dong, as long as we can solve the case and bring those gangsters to justice, it doesn't matter whether I get promoted or not." Li Ying replied.
"How are the casualties of the brothers? Why do we need help?" Seeing something wrong with Li Ying's face and looking at the white straps on his body, Lei Weidong shook his head.
One will become famous and thousands of bones will wither!
Even if they were prepared or unprepared, all of their men were equipped with body armor, and a large force was still waiting outside, and if there was a firefight, they immediately went in to provide support, but casualties were still inevitable.
In any case, there are more than a hundred people in the Miyagi family, and they also carry micro-rams and other high-power weapons. They are not big fat pigs left to be slaughtered.
Even if there are more than 100 big fat pigs, it will take a lot of effort to catch them.
Lei Weidong has already read Li Ying's report.
As the boss who likes to charge.
Li Ying was shot six times.
fine!
Four of the shots hit the bulletproof vest, and the other two shots only scratched his legs. Li Ying survived because of the protection of the bulletproof vest, which meant that his ribs were broken by the bullets.
If ordinary people are still lying in the hospital bed moaning and groaning, then the protagonist like Li Ying will go back to the police station after being bandaged a little in the hospital.
"Two brothers were unlucky and were hit in the head by bullets. They were not rescued after being sent to the hospital. Another five brothers were seriously injured and were rescued in the hospital. Even if they could be rescued, they might not be able to work as jobs in the future."
Reminding the injured brother, Li Ying was a little depressed.
"For the two brothers who died in the line of duty, I will ask Ah Zhen to apply for the highest pension for them. I will also ask Ya Zi to go over and see what kind of help their family needs. I can ask the Eastern Group to arrange it. We can't let the heroes bleed and cry.
As for the five seriously injured brothers, if they can no longer work as errands, they will be arranged to join the Eastern Group, so that they will at least have food and clothing for the rest of their lives. "Lei Weidong said.
"Brother Dong, I thank you on behalf of the brothers." After hearing Lei Weidong's arrangement, Li Ying and his men expressed their gratitude.
The reason why the police officers of West Kowloon Police Station are willing to fight for Lei Weidong is because Lei Weidong did a good job in the later stage, so that everyone has no worries.
"Thank you, no need. Just do your job well and keep an eye on Miyagi Hong. This time he was lucky and didn't get involved. He won't have a chance next time.
Also, contact the Legal Department as soon as possible to get rid of those bastards as quickly as possible. "Lei Weidong ordered.
"Brother Dong, don't worry, I will get to the bottom of this case." Li Ying looked a little unhappy when he mentioned Gong Muhong. He had already received a tip that Gong Muhong was a suspect in several huge fraud cases in the Southeast District.
It's a pity that Gong Muhong has no criminal record, so Li Ying has no excuse to arrest him and can only keep a close eye on him.
but!
With Miyagi Hiroshi's men being annihilated, this old boy must be anxious. When anxious, no matter how cunning the old fox is, he will show his tail.
"There are so many things in the major crime team. Don't do everything by yourself. Learn to delegate authority. You are already the superintendent. If you go further, you will have to take charge of yourself in the police station below. You must learn to cultivate people." Patting Li Ying Lei Weidong signaled him to pay attention to his body.
"No, Brother Dong, it's better for me to stay in the serious crime team. I go to manage a police station and deal with trivial matters all day long. It's better to kill me."
For ordinary people, becoming the chief of the police station is a high promotion and a step into the top management, but for Li Ying, it is just suffering.
Compared with the director, he still likes to charge on the front line.
"You don't even want to be promoted, get out of here." Regarding Li Ying's pretentiousness, Lei Weidong kicked him out.

Mail to Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station!
"Haha, Jiaju, you did a great job this time. You will definitely be indispensable for your promotion at the end of the year." Uncle Biao laughed, patting Chen Jiaju on the shoulder.
He couldn't help but be unhappy.
Although the operation was led by the General Administration of Police and jointly conducted by the two police districts of Kowloon City and Yau Tsim District, this case was really beautiful. More than a hundred gangsters were killed, wounded and captured, and there were only a few casualties.
In addition, Uncle Biao is a veteran in public relations and knows how to promote himself.
Just after the operation ended, people from the public relations department were asked to draft a press release that was most beneficial to Yau Tsim District based on Chen Jiaju's report. It can be said that they took a big piece of the credit for this effort.
Although it is not enough for me to take one step closer, from the divisional director to the chief director, it is still possible to take a step closer to my police rank, from senior superintendent to chief superintendent.
The bidder could already imagine the scene when he met Raymond. He was no longer his deputy, but a colleague with the same position and police rank.
"Thank you, Director. This success was possible only because of the command of the Director and the General Administration. Otherwise, the operation would not have gone so smoothly." Chen Jiaju, who has two wives.
Although his personality is still as impulsive as before, and he will rush forward as soon as he discovers a case like a desperate man, his verbal expression skills are much better than before, and at least he can flatter him beautifully.
"No matter how good the leader is, he still needs frontline police officers like you." Uncle Biao chuckled.
"Although the Haitian Restaurant case was handled beautifully, it is not perfect after the evildoers have been eliminated. This guy Miya Muhong escaped. Please contact Li Ying and the others more and make sure the case ends beautifully."
"Don't worry, Director, I made an appointment with Li Ying and the others tonight, and the case will definitely end beautifully." Chen Jiaju replied.
"I can rest assured that you can do things, but Jiaju, you can't just go to work and forget about your family. Amei and Xu Anni have complained to me more than once and twice, asking you to go home early at night."
Seeing Chen Jiaju wanting to leave, Uncle Biao reminded him specifically.
"clear!"
Thinking of his two wild girlfriends, Chen Jiaju lowered his head. It seemed that he couldn't rest tonight and needed to pay for the public food.

"Li Tou, something happened." Zhou Xingxing rushed into Li Ying's office and shouted anxiously:
"This is the police station. What can happen? What are you doing in such a panic? Come on, sit down, drink a cup of tea and speak slowly." Li Ying sat on the office chair and poured a cup of herbal tea for Zhou Xingxing and asked him to speak slowly.
"Oda from the Miyagi family is going to be guaranteed out." Zhou Xingxing picked up the teacup, drank the tea in it, and said quickly.
"Xiaotian is going to be guaranteed. Who will guarantee it?" Li Ying was stunned when he heard this.
In the Haitian Restaurant case, Oda and Duomu are the two highest-ranking gangsters.
Domu won’t say anything.
This guy came out with a gun and started shooting. He was already beaten to death by briquettes and could no longer die.
Oda is probably responsible for the intelligence of the Miyagi family. He is more afraid of death. Instead of charging to the death like Taki, he raised his hands and surrendered. He became the breakthrough point for capturing Miyagi Hiroshi.
As the person in charge of intelligence for the Miyagi family, Oda must know a lot about Miyagi Hiroshi. If he revealed it, it would be impossible for Miyagi Hiroshi to eat peanuts.
Because there is no death penalty in Xiangjiang, it is still possible to be imprisoned for decades.
As for whether Xiaoda is willing to cooperate!
hehe!
Oda left a lot of evidence at the scene of the shootout, not to mention the illegal pistol he had on him that never had a gun license, but the video in the lobby.
Thank you Haitian Restaurant.
As one of the best restaurants in Xiangjiang, there are videos in every lobby.
Through the video, Li Ying and others clearly saw that Xiaotian used a gun to shoot at the police. It can be said that there is no difficulty in suing him.
Unless Oda is willing to be a tainted witness and accuse Miyagi Hiro, he will spend decades in jail on the road.
What Li Ying didn't expect was that Xiaotian would be released on bail.
This is troublesome.
Although he cannot leave Hong Kong after being released on bail.
But as long as you spend a little more money, there are many ways to leave Xiangjiang.
The Ma brothers in the era of money empire are the best example.
He has obviously been arrested and taken to the police station.
He could also use the loophole of bail to run to Wanwan, escape legal punishment, and severely slap those legal experts in the face.
