Chapter 408 Mr. Lin, may I ask?
"Brother Hao, we found a gang leader who was present at the time. He saw the whole process of the other party shooting and described the other party's appearance. After investigation by his subordinates, it was probably done by a guy named Guilinzi."
"He is quite famous in the underworld of Taiwan. He is a street cleaner who specializes in doing dirty and tiring work. As for what grudge he has with Hou Liqun, we are not sure yet. So we infer that he was paid to do the job."
Luo Tianhong spoke briefly about the key points, his mind working rapidly to ensure that nothing was missed.
Lin Zehao pondered for a moment and said, "Tell that person not to talk nonsense, otherwise he will bear the consequences."
"Also send someone to find this Guilin guy and tell him that I am somewhat interested in him."
After a pause, Lin Zehao continued, "Let Feiji and Ale finish the job, organize all the information they have collected, and reveal all the information about Hou Liqun to send him off for the last time."
With Lin Huaile's work ability, he should have collected most of the information about Shanyuan Villa.
Exposing Hou Liqun’s negative information now is, on the one hand, to divert public attention, and on the other hand, to prevent the higher-ups from manipulating the issue and promoting Hou Liqun as a positive figure.
"Understood, Brother Hao." Luo Tianhong took note of his boss's instructions and immediately went to carry them out.
With Ding Zongshu and Hou Liqun both getting into trouble, even though the boss behind them was extremely powerful, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. In addition, the revelations that came out of nowhere were beyond his expectations, making him too busy to have the energy to cause trouble for Lin Zehao.
Under such circumstances, Zhou Chaoxian naturally successfully entered the nomination stage for legislators.
After receiving the news, he was extremely excited. After passionately kissing his wife Cui Miaoxiang, he immediately went to thank his boss and brought many valuable gifts.
He knew that with Lin Zehao's wealth, he naturally had nothing to lack, but whether someone lacked something was one thing, and whether he took it or not was another.
Zhou Chaoxian has not forgotten the most basic principle of being a human being: the more proud you are, the more humble you should be.
Besides, in front of Lin Zehao, he always plays the role of a younger brother.
He knew this very well.
Five days later, the nominations were announced, and without any surprise, Lin Zehao and Zhou Chaoxian both successfully took their seats as legislators as non-partisan candidates.
For a moment, the island was shaken!
They were familiar with Zhou Chaoxian, and he had wanted to become a legislator for a long time. So they were mentally prepared for his promotion this time and were not too surprised. At most, they were just a little emotional.
However, Lin Zehao, a foreigner, is too unfamiliar to many people.
Especially when newspapers and news reported this incident extensively, ordinary people were even more confused.
"Lin Zehao? A Hong Kong Islander? Are you kidding me? Since when did Taiwan people need Hong Kong Islanders to take care of them?"
"What the hell are these idiots doing on stage? Four years have passed and then another four years. I thought things would get better and better, but they're getting worse and worse!"
"I asked around and found out that Lin Zehao is just a businessman. Does that mean that as long as you have money, you can even buy a seat as a legislator these days? Then just set a price. I will take out a loan to buy an official position. Anyway, I can get my money back quickly."
"..."
As the news gained popularity, the name Lin Zehao also sparked widespread discussion. Even some so-called experts, in order to gain ratings, all went on the show and began to give advice.
All in all, it’s all there.
In this atmosphere, a new session of the Legislative Yuan was convened.
"Legislative Yuan" is a member of the "Legislative Yuan", which is the "highest legislative body" of the Taiwan authorities.
The power to "decide on bills, budgets, martial law, amnesty, declarations of war, peace, treaties and other important matters"
There are currently a total of 225 seats in the Legislative Yuan, including one chief and one deputy chief, who are elected by "institutional members".
It was not until 2008 that the number of seats was increased to 113.
The school building of Taipei No. 2 Girls’ High School.
Of course, this was said decades ago, and now it is the location of the Legislative Yuan of Formosa.
As the legislators gradually entered the venue, the reporters at the door became active, raising their microphones and asking questions about some hot topics in an attempt to get explosive news.
Among them, the number of reporters surrounding Lin Zehao was the largest, no doubt about it!
"Commissioner Lin, may I ask why you were elected as a legislator from Formosa when you are clearly a Hong Kong Islander?"
"You were a businessman before, so why did you want to go into politics? Is it because you finally realized that you can only make a lot of money if you have power?"
"Mr. Lin, what is your relationship with Miss Wang Zuxian? I heard that you are also entangled with many movie stars in Hong Kong Island. There are even rumors that you are from a mafia family. Qin Han died at your hands before, right?"
The reporters were shouting at the same time, their microphones almost reaching the sky.
The crowd is so crowded that it is no exaggeration to say that if a girl is among them, she is very likely to be squeezed and become pregnant.
Fortunately, Hutchison’s security personnel are no pushovers. Even if they come with great force, they still cannot cross the line.
Lin Zehao seemed to be swimming in the sea of people. He took steps of the same size and walked slowly forward with an elegant and appropriate smile on his face. In the face of numerous questions, he did not say a word, but just signaled with his eyes to Ama who was half a step behind.
Having followed Brother Hao for such a long time and always being his personal bodyguard, A Mai naturally had a tacit understanding. He responded with a slight nod, shielding his mouth, and said to the subordinates behind him: "Write down all those reporters who ask stupid questions, and after the meeting, let them know what the fate of big mouths is."
The subordinate nodded immediately and began to check the work badges hanging on the reporters' chests and memorized them silently in his mind.
Looking at these extremely excited reporters, A Mai thought to himself: "Huh! You want to leave after provoking Brother Hao?"
To be honest, after following Brother Hao for so many years, he can deeply feel that his boss is simply inhuman in some aspects!
For example, by planning and strategizing, one can turn any negative emergency into a positive means, etc.
All these things made Amai feel that his boss was not a human, but a god!
Because everyone makes mistakes, but Brother Hao seems to have never made any mistakes.
But later, Ama realized that it was not that Brother Hao had never made mistakes, but that his means of remedying them were too powerful, coupled with his extreme cunning, so many people could not see it. Only when his own boss was vindictive, Ama could most intuitively feel that Brother Hao was not perfect either, and had some shortcomings, or it could be said that it was a moment that made them, his subordinates, feel closer to him.
Putting aside all the messy thoughts in his mind, A Mai followed Lin Zehao to the venue.
"Brother Hao, this way."
A younger brother had already found the location with Lin Zehao's name tag and hurried forward to lead the way.
The entire venue is like a large auditorium, with layers stacked up.
Lin Zehao's position is neither too forward nor too backward, but in the middle.
When he sat down, he looked around and saw that there were basically no empty seats, so he thought the meeting should be about to start.
Sun Yunrui was in a relatively forward position and turned around to greet Lin Zehao.
As for Zhou Chaoxian, he was in the two rows behind Lin Zehao. Before the game started, he specially ran over to greet his boss, showing his good qualities as a younger brother.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the meeting officially began.
According to the rules of the Legislative Yuan of Taiwan, every meeting will be broadcast live by television stations, which means that it is aboveboard and everything done can be open to the public.
This time, naturally, it is no exception.
The TV station's cameras had already filled the venue, covering almost every angle.
Some viewers who were interested in political affairs also sat in front of the TV on time and started watching.
For many citizens, watching legislators with different positions arguing is sometimes a different kind of scenery.
As we all know, official meetings around the world are basically the same. The opening is usually a long speech, full of nonsense and clichés, without any practical significance.
In fact, Lin Zehao has never had any interest in this kind of meeting. He would rather accompany Wang Zuxian shopping than attend it.
As the saying goes, small matters should be discussed in big meetings, and big matters should be discussed in small meetings. If it is a major decision, it is impossible to discuss it here.
However, after all, this was his first meeting as a legislator. If he didn't come, he would seem too eccentric. Besides, Sun Yunrui had some proposals that required his vote, so he came anyway.
After a lot of nonsense, the proposal phase began.
Lin Zehao also voted for the proposal on their side according to the details communicated by Sun Yunrui before. When Zhou Chaoxian saw his boss raise his hand, he naturally understood what he should do.
After all, he followed Sun Yunrui's path to become a legislator, so it is only natural for him to give corresponding support.
Just when Lin Zehao thought that this meeting would end in a boring and dull atmosphere, something unexpected happened.
At this time, a legislator stood up with a thick stack of documents in his hand, and it seemed that he came prepared.
Lin Zehao glanced at the sign in front of him and immediately knew that the other party was from Hou Liqun's faction.
He cleared his throat and said, "As time goes by, the lives of the citizens of Baodao are getting better and better, and the number of cars is increasing year by year. This is an affirmation of our government's work and a reflection of the hard work of the citizens of Baodao."
"However, behind the prosperity comes a lot of problems. With the increase in the number of cars, not only has the traffic jam become more serious, but it has also posed a huge challenge to our environmental protection work."
After only hearing the beginning, everyone had no idea what it meant and could only wait for the rest.
"Some time ago, I drove to pick up my daughter from school. Not only did I encounter a huge traffic jam, but I also saw more than one car with black and blue smoke coming out of its exhaust pipe."
"My daughter asked me at the time, 'Dad, will this colorful smoke turn the blue sky black?'"
"When I heard this question, I was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to answer it at all."
After a pause, he continued, "Even a primary school kid knows this truth, so why don't we, the people who are in charge of governing a country, realize it at all?"
"After I got back, I pondered how to fundamentally change the impact of automobile exhaust emissions on the environment."
"Finally, my efforts paid off. After my hard work, I found a technology that General Motors had just invented, called the OBD detection system."
"This is the abbreviation of On-Board Diagnostics, which translates to 'vehicle automatic diagnostic system' in Chinese."
Perhaps he had said too much in one breath, so he took a sip of water from the cup to moisten his throat before continuing, "This system will monitor the engine's operating status at any time to see if the car's exhaust exceeds the standard. Once it does, it will immediately issue a warning."
"When a system fault occurs, the malfunction (MIL) light or the check engine (Check Engine) warning light comes on, and the powertrain control module (PCM) stores the fault information in the memory. The fault code can be read from the PCM through a certain procedure."
"Based on the fault code prompts, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault."
"In short, this system allows us to accurately detect vehicles with substandard exhaust emissions."
Perhaps to enhance his appeal, he simply put down the manuscript in his hand, danced and said loudly: "So, I propose to change the existing annual vehicle inspection system in Baodao and add OBD inspection items to the inspection items. As long as the old car is more than ten years old, it needs to be inspected every year."
"If the test fails, you need to go to a government-designated repair station for repair. You cannot go to a repair station for inspection privately. Otherwise, the vehicle file will be locked and you will not be allowed to inspect it again."
"If the vehicle fails the inspection for more than three cycles, it will be scrapped!"
"I believe that once this policy is implemented, Taiwan's environmental problems will be effectively improved, and I can also leave a clean and pure blue sky for our next generation!"
He spoke with great enthusiasm, but the others present had frowns on their faces, thinking about the feasibility of this plan.
Only Lin Zehao had a look of disdain on his face and sneered in his heart.
I don't know who made this rule of mandatory scrapping. If a car that meets the scrapping standards here is placed in Africa, it means that it has not passed the running-in period.
Cars are very expensive these days and are definitely an important asset for ordinary people.
