Chapter 172 I agree that Cheung Kong Industries should do it
Seeing the situation calm down, Chen Guoqiang clapped his hands and said meaningfully: "You are smart. You may not be familiar with Brother Hao's style of doing things. Since he ordered you to do this, you should take all the circumstances into consideration, including your performance just now..."
"So, you better know what to do."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present changed again and again, and no one spoke.
After knocking, Chen Guoqiang continued: "This time when we go to Pengcheng, because of the special geographical location, you don't have to think about these heavy weapons. Everyone just needs to take a pistol for self-defense."
"Remember, don't use a gun unless it's absolutely necessary, otherwise the nature of the situation will change, understand?"
Hearing this, everyone nodded and said, "Understood, Brother Qiang."
Everyone stepped forward, picked up the weapons that suited them, and after taking a few magazines, they prepared to set off for Pengcheng.
Just as they were boarding the tens of millions of Pengcheng ships, the final bidding for the Guangdong Road Police Quarters Demolition Project was about to officially begin.
Li Chaoren stepped into the venue with a dark face at the last minute. His suit was wrinkled and he looked extremely embarrassed.
Seeing this, Fei Chili, who was in charge of presiding over the meeting, snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think you are a superman? You are going to appear at the last minute?"
"Besides, dressing like this is totally disrespectful to everyone here."
"If I wasn't in a good mood today, I would have disqualified you from bidding!"
Since he has received the benefits, Fei Chili must do things in a nice way. This is related to his professional ethics, and he must not fool the clients.
What's more, Lin Zehao is so generous, he must make the other party get value for money.
Li Chaoren was already a little annoyed when he had just dealt with the reporters. On top of that, he was scolded by Fei Chili as soon as he entered the door. He subconsciously froze where he was.
The eyes of everyone present were focused on him, with expressions of scrutiny, gloating, and so on.
For a moment, he didn't know whether to leave or stay, just like a clown who knew he was the object of ridicule but still had to perform.
Finally, Li Chaoren glanced at Fei Chili and found that the other party waved his hand impatiently, so he returned to his seat with his tail between his legs, looking extremely ugly.
He let out a long breath and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "Pujie! Isn't it just because I didn't give you enough benefits that you actually bully me in this kind of situation, in front of so many people."
"Now you are the Chief Superintendent, I can't afford to offend you. When you retire, I will show you how I will repay you for your kindness today!"
Just as Li Chaoren was secretly swearing in his heart, Fei Chili had already started to get to the point. He cleared his throat and said, "I believe everyone has been waiting for this day for a long time, so I will not elaborate any more."
"We have received the bids from various companies. We will announce the final winner of the project in twenty minutes."
After Fei Chili finished speaking, he turned and left the meeting room and went to the next room for the final meeting.
Everyone present began to whisper.
"Why are we holding a meeting at this time? Shouldn't we announce the results?"
"Yes, according to the regular process, the result would have been decided yesterday."
"You don't know about this situation, right? Based on my many years of experience, this must be a disagreement among decision-makers."
At this time, a bald middle-aged man spoke in a pretentious manner, instantly attracting the attention of people around him.
"Boss, if you know so much, then tell me now."
"That's right. It's boring for us to wait here anyway. Why don't we broaden our horizons?"
After the bald middle-aged man felt the feeling of being the center of attention, he felt a little flattered for a moment. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "Actually, this matter is easy to understand." "Now there must be two or more companies that are equally powerful, and even the management can't reach a consensus, so this situation has occurred."
"You can't give one project to two companies, right?"
As a person with many years of experience as a runner-up, the bald middle-aged man can almost be sure that this is the situation.
As soon as this statement was made, everyone started discussing it again.
Li Chaoren glanced at Lin Zehao without leaving any trace, revealing a sarcastic smile, thinking: "Do you really think that I have been lying in the hospital all this time and have done nothing?"
"I'll let you know in a moment that old ginger is still spicy!"
At the same time, the atmosphere in the meeting room next door was even more lively than here.
"You are committing murder!"
"You have murdered not only an excellent and vibrant life, but also the hope and yearning of Hong Kong Island citizens for a better tomorrow!"
"Only Hutchison Construction is the best choice for this project. Do you want an unscrupulous real estate businessman with a criminal record to ruin the reputation of our police force?"
Fei Chili had already stood up from his chair, his hands continuously patting the table, his tone extremely serious, the two tools on his shoulders sparkled brightly under the sunlight.
When several decision-makers saw this scene, they all wisely kept silent.
They had already had a big argument about this matter last night, and everyone's opinions were put on the table. Those like them who did not have much decision-making power only needed to see which side had the upper hand and then vote.
In other words, they vote for whoever wins.
"But Cheung Kong is a long-established real estate developer and obviously has more relevant experience. We don't have to worry too much about handing this project over to them."
"As for the demolition scandal, it's nothing new. With so many real estate developers, is there a clean one?"
"In short, I agree to give the project to Cheung Kong Holdings." At this time, a foreigner who also carried the title of Chief Superintendent of Police said.
This person is the current deputy director of the Finance Department, James.
At the same time, he is also a staunch supporter of Li Chaoren.
"It is precisely because they are not clean that we have to hand over the project to companies like Hutchison Construction that have a conscience and a sense of social responsibility."
"If the Royal Hong Kong Island Police Force is full of people like you, do we still have a future? I guess the Queen would shake her head if she saw it."
"Besides, this project is led by my planning and development department. Your opinions are not important at all. Do you understand?"
Even though the other party also holds the rank of Chief Superintendent, he is only a civilian deputy, and Fei Chili simply doesn't buy it.
"The reason I held this meeting is not to seek your consent, but to inform you of the final result."
"No one can change my decision! Including you, the deputy director of the Finance Department!"
Fei Chili ignored James's ugly expression and spoke word by word, not giving the other party any face at all.
Since he has accepted benefits from Lin Zehao, he must ensure that the project is done by the other party, otherwise wouldn’t it be breaking his promise?
Moreover, Fei Chili knew that Lin Zehao was definitely not the kind of person who would suffer in silence. If he took the benefits but did nothing, he would definitely not have a good ending.
Thinking of the scene that day, he shuddered subconsciously.
Hearing this, James also stood up, looked at Fei Chili without hesitation, and said angrily: "You are engaging in dictatorship!"
