"South China Tobacco Company says it is the largest tobacco company in Hong Kong, but in fact it is just a second-rate dealer. It sells cigarettes from the mainland and Yingguo and other places in Hong Kong, not to mention exporting. Almost all cigarettes are transshipped from the mainland. I just want to ask him who he is. Not from our side.”
Lei Weidong got straight to the point and asked.
Xiangjiang is a colony. It is undeniable that there are many traitors, but there are also many truly patriotic and sincere overseas Chinese. Huo Daheng is remembered by everyone because of his high status and reputation. After Huo Daheng, there are still many people who silently support the country, and some have funded several countries. Ten years later.
They do not have Lei Weidong's foresight and foresight, knowing that the rise of the mainland is unstoppable. It can be said that these talents are truly patriotic.
Even though their patriotism also includes the need to make money, Lei Weidong still respects them very much.
This is also the reason why Lei Weidong did not immediately take action against the South China Tobacco Company. Facing enemies, one can go it alone, but with friends, it is better to gain wealth together, so that the benefits can last long.
"South China Tobacco Company has a cooperation with us, and the business is hundreds of millions a year. If we say that the people on our side are a bit over the top and are friends, why do you want to compete with South China Tobacco Company?"
I have been working with Lei Weidong for many years. Although I verbally look down on Lei Weidong, thinking that he is too philandering, there are beautiful women around him one after another. That is to say, in Xiangjiang, the remnants of feudalism are left behind and polygamy is allowed.
If he were in the mainland, Lei Weidong would have been suppressed on the pretext of XX crimes, and he would not have been unjustly accused.
"This is the information from Lida Company." Lei Weidong handed the information in his hand to Yang Jianhua and said, "Tobacco smuggling has become increasingly rampant in recent years, causing the Hong Kong government to lose a lot of tax money and is very dissatisfied.
So we asked the Independent Commission Against Corruption, the Police Department and other departments to join forces to crack down on tobacco smuggling, and I was the person in charge of this operation.
Originally, I wanted to start from scratch and crack down on those groups that secretly smuggled tobacco. After all, these groups are closely related to the society, and they are not only involved in smuggling cigarettes but also other parties.
If you sweep it away with a pole, you will not be unjustly accused. Even if it is not tobacco smuggling, it is also involved in other crimes.
But considering that there are too many people involved and most of the smuggled tobacco comes from the mainland, I just gave a warning and focused on big orders, focusing on the Lida Trading Group. It is said that 30% of the black smoke on the market They are all sold by Lida Trading Group. "
Lei Weidong explained.
"What is the relationship between Lida Trading Group and South China Tobacco Company? Is it a white glove of South China Tobacco Company?" As a direct contact with Lei Weidong, Yang Jianhua has not stayed in Xiangjiang for more than a year or two, and he knows what capitalists are. Dexing.
As long as you can gain 50% of the profit, you can betray your ancestors. It is normal to use one or two white gloves to do bad things to yourself.
"I don't know if it's white gloves, but the boss behind the Lida Trading Group is the eldest prince of the South China Tobacco Company. The fact that the Lida Trading Group can become the second largest cigarette trade exporter in Hong Kong is because of his father's tiger skin. Get up.
If it weren't for the South China Tobacco Company's backing, Lida Trading Company would have just bribed one or two customs bugs to complete the switch from tobacco exports to domestic sales, and the sun would rise from the west.
It was because someone was covering for them and turning a blind eye that the Lida Trading Group became so rampant today. "Lei Weidong said truthfully: "Since the Hong Kong government asked me to preside over the campaign against black smoke, it would be a shame for me not to destroy one or two groups. I want to ask now, if we destroy the South China Tobacco Company, what will happen to me? What impact will it have on the mainland? Will it hurt our own people? "
"It won't hurt your own family, but destroying the South China Tobacco Company will have a certain impact on the mainland's tobacco exports. After all, it is hundreds of millions of foreign exchange exports a year. This money is nothing to you, Weidong, but to the mainland It is related to people's livelihood.
In addition, the shortage of foreign exchange in the mainland is severe. Even with your help, Mr. Lei, the mainland can get thousands of tons of gold and large sums of foreign exchange, but the gap is too big. A few hundred million is better than nothing. "
"You mean to let me let go of South China Tobacco Company and investigate as far as the eldest prince of South China Tobacco Company."
"That's not true. I just hope that when you attack South China Tobacco Company, Weidong, you will take over its sales channels. We trust our friends more than South China Tobacco Company."
Yang Jianhua poured Lei Weidong a glass of red wine and said with a smile.
"I'm not interested in the tobacco industry, but if you say this, Sister Yang, I'll let Yunpiaopiao go. She keeps saying that she doesn't have her own career, so she asked me to find an industry for her. The tobacco industry is good, although it's profitable. Not much but long-lasting, it will probably still be there a hundred years from now.”
Regarding Yang Jianhua's proposal, Lei Weidong was very obedient, and during the conversation between the two, the fate of South China Tobacco Company was decided.

customs!
As soon as Zhong Jialing came out of it, she was blocked by two heroic beauties.
"Commander Zhong, please stop for a moment, my boss is looking for you." A beautiful woman looked at Zhong Jialing and smiled.
"Who are you?" Seeing the two beauties suddenly appearing in front of her, Zhong Jialing's face flashed with panic. She thought about retreating and entering the customs. That was her own territory. As long as she entered, the other party would never dare to act recklessly.
"Commander Zhong, we don't mean any harm. Please walk with me. It's not far away. It's at the cafe opposite. Our boss is waiting for you and won't delay you for a long time."
Seeing that Zhong Jialing wanted to retreat, a beautiful woman calmly blocked her way back and said.
"Who is your boss and why are you looking for me?" Zhong Jialing asked suspiciously.
"Era Investment, you should be familiar with Carina Chung," a beautiful woman said in a low voice.
"Ha, Jialing, why are you walking so fast? My car has been sent for repair, please take me back." Zhong Jialing's colleague came out of the customs. It seemed that Zhong Jialing was talking to someone and walked over quickly.
"I'm sorry, Zhen. My friend came over to ask me to drink tea. I can't accompany you home." When she heard the visitor talking about Era Investment, Zhong Jialing was stunned. This is her biggest secret. How could it be possible? Are they Li Da? People sent by the group.
If you have something to do, look for yourself.
I looked at the cafe opposite. It's not that far away. I'm sure there won't be any trouble if I go there.
As for the robbery.
Although she was beautiful, she was still an aunt in her forties. If nothing else, the two beauties in front of her were younger and prettier than herself. She immediately turned around and persuaded her colleagues to leave, chatting and laughing with the two beauties and went to the coffee shop next door.
"Hello, Miss Zhong, I'm glad to see you. What are you doing standing here? Sit down quickly. We are all friends. How polite are you? I'll bring you coffee and tea. Whatever you like to drink."
Seeing Zhong Jialing come in, Jian Huizhen laughed enthusiastically.
"Miss Jian, no, it should be Mrs. Lei, why are you here." Seeing Jian Huizhen, Zhong Jialing was very surprised. On the way here, she thought a lot, guessing who was looking for her.
It was the chairman of Era Investment or the person in charge of Lida Trading Group. It was Jian Huizhen who appeared in front of him, which made him a little panicked.
Jian Huizhen and Zhong Jialing were very familiar with each other. The two had met several times at banquets between the police force and the customs. The other party was not only a senior official in the police force, but also Lei Weidong's wife.
Although she was only one of the ladies, her status was not comparable to hers. When such a person came to her, Zhong Jialing felt bad and said in panic,
"Whatever, tea and coffee are fine."
"In that case, let's have some frozen lemon tea. It's so hot outside now. Drink some cold drinks to relieve the heat. Brother Dong also likes to drink this cold drink." Jian Huizhen smiled and asked the waiter to prepare it.
"Oh! Thank you!" Zhong Jialing seemed a little at a loss for Jian Huizhen's enthusiasm.
Soon, the waiter came in with two prepared cold drinks and placed them in front of Jian Huizhen and Zhong Jialing.
"This is probably not the first time we have met. We have met several times at banquets before, but we have never had a good chat." Jian Huizhen said with a smile while taking a few sips of the frozen lemon tea.
"Yes!" Zhong Jialing, who was holding a cold drink, nodded with a smile, and kept smiling bitterly in her heart.
She was worthy of being the wife of the richest man in Hong Kong Island. Although she was only one of them, her aura made Carina Chung feel depressed and unable to hold her head up.
I used to think that Jian Hui is what she is today because of Lei Weidong's support. Without Lei Weidong, she is nothing. Now it seems that she has underestimated this woman...
"How have you been at work recently? Are you okay?" Looking at the embarrassed Zhong Jialing, Jian Huizhen was very proud. She had already taken the lead in terms of momentum, and the next step was to pursue the victory.
"Okay, okay!" Zhong Jialing nodded in response.
"Indeed, the work of the customs is different from that of our police force. We catch thieves and need to perform some very dangerous tasks. Unlike your customs, which mainly detects import and export goods, it is relatively more comfortable." Jian Huizhen put away her smile and said His expression became a little serious.
"It's not very comfortable. The port is very busy. As one of the largest ports in Asia, Xiangjiang has an astonishing throughput of more than tens of thousands of containers every day. It's a big project to check so many boxes. I almost die from exhaustion every day. It’s long gone.”
"Yes, it's impossible to inspect so many containers at once. We can only do random inspections. This leaves a way for people to take advantage of loopholes." Jian Huizhen said with a smile.
"If you want to take advantage of the loopholes, you have to pay me. Miss Zhong, you must have made a lot of money."
"Miss Jian, are you kidding me? I am very loyal in my work and have never done anything illegal." Zhong Jialing had something on her mind, otherwise she wouldn't have come here after hearing about Era Investment.
Now that he heard Jian Huizhen talking about money, he felt guilty and trembled uncontrollably, and his face turned a little pale.
It's just that people are lucky. If they are not taken to the guillotine, they will say that they are wronged.
"Whether you have done anything illegal, Miss Zhong, you know best. Do you know about Lida Trading Group, the second largest tobacco trading and export company in Hong Kong?"
Jian Huizhen smiled.
"I know, but what does this have to do with me? Does the export company have anything to do with me? It's a joke. With so many export companies in Hong Kong, do they all have something to do with me?"
Carina Chung bit her lip, suppressed her panic, and retorted.
"Because Lida Trading Company is engaged in tobacco export trade, the price for purchasing cigarettes is very low. If someone else buys cigarettes worth 19 yuan, he can pick them up for 10 yuan.
In addition, there is no need to pay the cigarette tax of 38 yuan, so it can be said that the cost is very low.
It's just that these cigarettes cannot be sold locally and can only be exported. However, if it is not exported, it will be subject to your customs inspection. Miss Zhong, am I right? "
Jian Huizhen began to press forward step by step.
"Yes, but what does this have to do with me? As a port commander, will I go to the front line to inspect containers?" Zhong Jialing's rebuttal was a little weak. She felt that she was going to fall into trouble today.
"As a commander, you really don't need to go to the front line for inspection, but you can provide an inspection schedule so that Lida Company can prepare in advance. But all inspections are for tobacco. If there is no inspection, what will be shipped out will be some waste or empty products.
As for the cigarettes that fell out of the package, they entered the black market.
Cigarettes costing 19 yuan plus tax of 38 yuan will cost 57 yuan in regular stores.
And Lida Company, which costs only ten yuan, can sell it for only thirty yuan and make twice the profit, which is even better than gambling. "
"I don't understand what you are talking about. I was not involved in any of this." Faced with Jian Huizhen's pressing steps, Zhong Jialing couldn't hold on any longer.
"Because tobacco smuggling was so rampant, the Hong Kong government was very dissatisfied and organized an operation to crack down on black smoke smuggling. The commander was Lei Weidong, who is also my husband.
With my husband's status, I would definitely look down on those smugglers who moved the ants. If I wanted to fight, I would fight the big ones, so I targeted the Lida Trading Group.
Did you know that Chen Chaoqun, the legal person of Lida Trading Group, has turned in as a tainted witness? It is through him that we learned about Era Investment and found you. "
Seeing that Carina Chung was stubborn, Jian Huizhen began to show her trump card.
"Chen Chaoqun surrendered, why didn't he dare? Aren't he afraid that the big boss would silence him? Someone would die!" After hearing Chen Chaoqun's move, Zhong Jialing couldn't help but said.
"If it were an ordinary policeman, someone would probably die. It would be too easy for those capitalists to kill someone, but Brother Dong is in charge of this case. Who do you think is more powerful than him in Hong Kong?
Why Chen Chaoqun is willing to be a tainted witness is not because he knows that the so-called smuggling group is like an ant in front of Dong Ge. Not only do they want to arrest people, but their so-called backstage also has to be uprooted. "
"I!"
"What am I, Miss Zhong, you still want to deny it at this time? After learning about Era Investment, we investigated the transaction records of Era Investment in the past two years through the Work Safety Supervision Committee and screened out many suspects.
Miss Zhong, you are one of them, XX stock, XX stock, XX stock... you remember all these, once, twice, three times or four times you can still say you are lucky.
Two years and more than 20 transaction records, you can say that you are wronged. "Jian Huizhen used the last sword and knocked down Zhong Jialing directly.
At first, Carina Chung could still deny it, but when Jian Huizhen listed the stocks one by one, Carina Chung fell on the chair like mud and collapsed.
