Chapter 449 Return to Hong Kong Island
Xiang Bo pushed up his silver glasses and said, "Ge Zhixiong may not be really anxious. He may just be acting for us."
"Given the current situation of the Number Gang, even if he wants to go further, he probably doesn't have much chance."
"The various word groups are not subordinate to each other and do not trust each other at all. Under such circumstances, even if Ge Zhixiong really has some great talent and strategy, what can he do?"
As Xinji's think tank strategist, Xiang Bo has always had his own perspective on issues. He must have his reasons for saying so, and even Xiang Yan cannot underestimate him.
"No matter what he thinks, I am prepared to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Anyway, all the goods of the Number Gang are purchased from us. Let's make a lot of money from him first."
"He's not in a hurry, and I'm even less anxious."
Xiang Yan snorted coldly and told him the wishful thinking he had planned long ago.
Sun Kee’s fan-selling business was already among the best in Hong Kong Island, and now that it has secured this big client, Number Bang, it is like adding wings to a tiger, and its revenue has skyrocketed!
Anyway, Xiang Yan has already reaped the benefits and can make a lot of money without doing anything, so why should he care what Ge Zhixiong thinks?
To put it bluntly, it would be best if the Number Gang was wiped out by Wei Longhao, so that there would be one less competitor who lost fans. When the market is completely monopolized, won't he still have the final say on prices?
This is why there are so few successful cases of cooperation among the four major social groups in Hong Kong Island.
Everyone has his or her own ideas and is only considering his or her own interests. How can we cooperate under such circumstances?
Everyone has their own plans, so naturally they can't come together.
The Peak, Central and Western District, Hong Kong Island.
Lin Zehao's villa is located here. Just a slight overlook can give you a panoramic view of the night view of Victoria Harbour.
This villa was also designed by . Pei. It took five years to build with three shifts of workers working around the clock. Including the land, the cost was nearly 2 billion yuan. The area is nearly 4,000 square meters. It currently consists of three villas, equipped with two large swimming pools, a parking lot with 22 parking spaces, a football field, a lawn, and a helicopter pad.
It is no exaggeration to say that from the moment this mansion was completed, it has been the number one luxury home in Hong Kong Island!
This is unprecedented, and judging by the general trend of land becoming increasingly scarce and prices rising sharply in Hong Kong Island, it is estimated that there will be few successors!
"Stop! Stop!"
Faced with the villa security's shouting, Chen Jiaju finally came to his senses and stepped on the brakes hard!
With a squeaking sound, the tires left four black marks on the road, making a harsh sound.
"What's the matter with you?"
"Did you know this is a private residence?"
The villa's security guards quickly surrounded them. Each of them had a strong build and a bulge around his waist. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that they were carrying weapons.
Such a scene made the police officers in the back seat immediately nervous. They quickly pushed the door and ran out of the car, showing their IDs in a hurry. "I warn you, don't do anything rash, we are from the serious crime team!"
The villa's security guard only glanced at the ID and then looked away, saying, "So what if they are from the serious crime squad? Can they break the law knowingly?"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little off, Chen Jiaju immediately got out of the car and explained, "Please don't misunderstand me. I am here on official business and I am definitely not trying to cause trouble."
As he spoke, Chen Jiaju showed his ID and said, "Senior Inspector of the Serious Crime Unit, Chen Jiaju, you can call me Sir Chen, or you can call me Chief Chen."
The security guard didn't even look at him, but just held out his hand and said, "I don't care if you are an inspector or a superintendent. In a word, it's useless even if the Governor comes without a pass!"
"Where's the pass? Take it out and let me see it."
Chen Jiaju was confused and said in disbelief: "Boss, are you kidding me? I am the Royal Hong Kong Island Police and I am performing my duties. If something goes wrong because of your obstruction, who can take the responsibility?"
"You? Or you?"
The security guard pushed aside Chen Jiaju's fingers that were sweeping everywhere and said, "You perform your official duties, and I also have my responsibilities."
"Besides, this is a private residence. Without a pass, you can go back to where you came from."
After saying this, the security personnel stopped talking nonsense and returned to stand guard in front of the iron gate one by one, their eyes constantly scanning the policemen in front of them.
"Mr. Chen, there are iron doors here, and they don't look very high-end. How about we climb over them at night when no one is around?"
A subordinate whispered this, but was scolded by Chen Jiaju.
"What's in your head, shit?"
"As the Royal Hong Kong Island Police, how could we break the law knowingly?"
"Besides, this place is patrolled 24 hours a day. There is no place to hide. How can you be so smart to come up with such a stupid idea?"
Chen Jiaju was well aware of how strong the security of this villa was. Before Lin Zehao returned to Hong Kong Island, he had tried to climb over the wall to get in, but he was almost discovered.
If he hadn't been lucky that night, it's doubtful whether he would be standing here now.
Just as Chan Ka Kui was racking his brains to find a way to enter the villa, a Mercedes-Benz slowly drove up and Chen Guoqiang, dressed in a bright red suit, got out of the car.
"Inspector Chen, you're going too far. Brother Hao just came back from Haojiang, and you came to visit him. You really can't wait even a moment..."
Chen Guoqiang spoke with disdain, picking his nose with his left hand while squeezing a handgrip with his right hand, which seemed to have a counting function.
"Oh, isn't this Brother Dali Qiangqiang? What a coincidence."
"What are you still standing there for? Can't you see that I am good friends with your brother Qiang? Hurry up and open the door to let me in."
Naturally, no one was fooled by Chen Jiaju's clumsy trick, and he could only ease the awkward atmosphere by laughing awkwardly.
When the members of the serious crime squad saw this, they felt that they had followed the wrong superior. Why did they act so impulsively and choose such a funny man?
"Inspector Chen, do you mind if I excuse you for a moment?"
Faced with Chen Guoqiang's invitation, Chen Jiaju did not hesitate at all and walked forward slowly.
The closer he got, the more he felt how terrifying Chen Guoqiang's muscles were, especially those two big pectoral muscles, which were really too exaggerated!
Even Chen Jiaju began to doubt whether he would be killed if Chen Guoqiang punched him with all his strength!
Throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind, Chen Jiaju said in a familiar manner, "Brother Qiang, what's the matter? Are you going to take care of me?"
Chen Guoqiang smiled, put the gripper in his pocket, patted Chen Jiaju on the shoulder, and said, "Do you know that people like you are not suitable to be police officers at all?" Chen Jiaju was about to refute, but Chen Guoqiang continued, "You and I both have the last name Chen, and we are not much different in age, why are our situations completely different?"
"I heard that you have a girlfriend you've been dating for three years, and she's planning to get married but you can't even come up with a down payment on a house."
"Have you ever thought about why the drug lord Zhu Tao, whom you personally arrested and put in prison, is now walking in the sun and enjoying a good life?"
"How come we, who have worked so hard to stabilize society, have become the targets of others and become the most heinous people?"
Chen Jiaju subconsciously wanted to refute, but found that at this moment language became so powerless and pale.
"You don't have to brainwash me with these words. I am loyal to justice and the police force. How could I be easily shaken by a few words from you?"
"I think you know why I'm here. I'll tell you the truth. From now on, I'll be staring at you, Boss!"
"I just don't believe that you will never make a mistake!"
Chen Jiaju clenched his fists and shouted these words with almost all his strength.
After saying this, he turned around and wanted to leave, but Chen Guoqiang held his shoulders tightly, and he couldn't move!
"Let go!"
Chen Jiaju was not the kind of person who would be bullied. After a roar, he turned around and kicked high, but Chen Guoqiang's left hand grabbed his ankle tightly!
"Go away!"
Chen Guoqiang snorted coldly, and suddenly exerted force with his left arm, throwing Chen Jiaju out.
Feeling the sudden huge force, Chan Ka Kui couldn't control his body at all and was about to fall. He subconsciously combined his waist and horse, and spun 360 times in the air three times before he almost released the force. He stood on the ground swayingly, looking a little dizzy.
"Mr. Chen, are you okay?"
The police officers from the serious crime squad immediately stepped forward to support Chen Jiaju, looking concerned.
"It's okay, I'm fine, it's just that the clothes I'm wearing today don't fit me well, otherwise I would definitely make you look good!"
Facing Chen Jiaju's somewhat nonsensical excuse, Chen Guoqiang just smiled and said, "Inspector Chen, think carefully about what I said, and don't be stubborn anymore."
"Call me anytime you think you can. Don't make the wrong decision."
As Chen Guoqiang entered the villa, Chen Jiaju no longer had the face to stay here, so he quickly drove away with his men.
As soon as he got in the car, he began to ask harshly: "What happened to Zhu Tao? Why has he been released, but no one informed me?"
Chen Jiaju was just a small assistant before, and was promoted to inspector because he personally put the drug lord Zhu Tao into prison.
As for the senior inspector, he was promoted because a special task force was set up to investigate Lin Zehao.
"Mr. Chen, please don't be angry. We just found out about this matter, and it was the big sir who told us not to tell you..."
The police officers knew Chan Ka Kui's stubborn temper very well and did not dare to hide anything, so they told him everything immediately.
It turned out that Zhu Tao, who should have been sentenced to life imprisonment, was allowed to appear in Hong Kong Island openly because he fell ill in prison and went through the process of medical parole.
"Medical parole?"
"Oh, considering Zhu Tao's physical condition, I don't think he will get sick. There must be something else going on..."
Although Chen Jiaju is stubborn, upright and has a strong sense of justice, it does not mean that he is a fool. Having been a policeman for so many years, he knows many twists and turns clearly.
Thinking of this, he thought of Chen Guoqiang's words again, and his face felt extremely hot.
To be honest, Chen Jiaju actually didn't want to investigate Lin Zehao. It had nothing to do with power, nor was it because he was afraid. It was because his girlfriend worked in Lin Zehao's company, and what she saw and heard was completely different from the rumors outside.
From his girlfriend's perspective, Lin Zehao is a unique and conscientious boss. Not only does he offer first-class salary and benefits, but he also pays overtime pay.
With such a mood, Chen Jiaju had no intention of working at all and drove directly back home.
A fairly nice house is about 600 feet in size, which is about 50 square meters, which is not small in Hong Kong Island.
Of course, this house was rented by Chen Jiaju.
"Ka Kui, why did you come back so early today?" Seeing Chen Ka Kui coming back, his girlfriend Amei was a little surprised.
Chen Jiaju was also surprised and asked, "Why are you back so early? Shouldn't you get off work around five o'clock?"
Hearing this, Amei, who was a little surprised at first, immediately became extremely excited and said, "Let me tell you, this time President Lin came back to announce a major news. He said that he had established an insurance company, but it will not sell to the public. It will only be responsible for the insurance of the employees of Hutchison Industries and all its subsidiaries."
"If you work in the company for more than one year, we will automatically pay for your insurance, including work-related injuries, medical care, retirement, childbirth, etc. Only a small part of your account is deducted every month, and the company pays the bulk of the money."
"This way, we will be protected in the future whether we have children, get sick, or even retire!"
You should know that there is no retirement system in Hong Kong Island, and naturally there is no so-called employee insurance.
Lin Zehao's behavior is completely historic, the first time in the world!
At least in Hong Kong Island, this is true!
How many employees does Hutchison have?
Chen Jiaju didn't know either, but according to the TV media, the number should be over 100,000.
Chen Jiaju didn't know how much it would cost to pay insurance for so many employees at one time, he just thought it was an astronomical figure.
The most important thing is that Lin Zehao didn’t have to do this at all, and no one would say a word against him.
However, he still did it without hesitation.
At least from the perspective of most normal people, Lin Zehao's move is completely beneficial to his employees. Not only will it not generate any benefits for him himself, but it will also add a considerable burden.
Moreover, insurance has to be paid every year, which means that Lin Zehao has to pay a considerable sum of money every year.
After learning the news, Chen Jiaju had very complicated emotions.
He knew that although Lin Zehao was a big boss in the community, the things he did did help hundreds of thousands of employees and hundreds of thousands of families.
There is no doubt that Lin Zehao has made great contributions to Hong Kong society.
Because even without Wei Longhao, the world would never be peaceful, just like in the past years, there would always be new people replacing the old ones.
