Chapter 338: 332 Formal legislation, Boss Li vomits blood and is hospitalized!
In a flash, 2 days passed.
Monday, workday.
The "Electric Lighting Company Electricity Price Investigation Report" and Gao Jin's talk about legislating price limits had fermented for two full days on Saturday and Sunday.
Morning, 9:00.
The stock market opened, collective bidding, Electric Lighting Company's stocks were like diarrhea, falling wildly...
And the Legislative Council side also officially held a plenary meeting.
Solemn, grave!
At the meeting,
Gao Jin made a report on the investigation results of the "Electricity Price Investigation Committee", and used words like 'outrageous' and 'no conscience' many times.
After the report ended,
Chairman John of the Legislative Council slapped the table, heartbroken:
"Shocking!"
"This kind of high electricity price seriously damages public interests!"
"As Legislative Councilors, we must insist on the basis of citizens' interest demands..."
Because he also invested money to short the Electric Lighting Company, he naturally exerted his efforts fiercely.
"We must decisively legislate to implement strict supervision and restrictions on electricity prices!"
"Only in this way can we effectively defend the fundamental interests of citizens and live up to our duties and mission!"
A few words, righteous and resounding!
Thunderous applause from the audience!
"Chairman said it well!"
"Too great!"
"Moved!"
Subsequently, other councilors put forward their own suggestions one after another...
One hour later...
Two hours later...
After a day of discussion,
The Legislative Council completed a preliminary "Draft Agreement on Electricity Price Control".
—Permissible profit for power companies: 9.99% of the total average net value of fixed assets. (Picture)
Then started the legislative process.
The legislative process is as follows:
That night,
Legislative Council Chairman John, on the grounds of 'public anger', made a detailed report to the Viceroy (money was sent), and the Viceroy agreed righteously.
The next day, early in the morning,
The weekly "Government Gazette" was published, with a focus on the "Draft Agreement on Electricity Price Control".
At noon, ATV and TVB followed up with reports, and for a time all Hong Kong citizens knew about this draft.
"Only allowed to earn 9.99% profit?"
All Hong Kong citizens cheered one after another, running to tell each other.
The "Government Gazette" sold out directly.
After Boss Li learned of this news, his eyes went dark.
Bang!!!
"Gao Jin!"
"Being a Legislative Councilor is amazing!"
"Damn you!!"
Afternoon, stock market opened.
Hong Kong Electric Company completely collapsed.
Hopeless.
Boss Li was so angry his hair stood up, he called the Financial Investment Department: "Immediately buy for me, buy back all the scattered shares, I want to make Gao Jin and the others unable to settle!"
He wanted to pull Gao Jin down even if he died!
Fish die and net breaks!
As a result, the Financial Investment Department's reply was: "Boss, funds are not enough... It takes at least 3 or 4 billion to buy them all back, we only have 200 million in hand."
Pfft~~~
Boss Li vomited blood again this time!
"Boss! Boss!"
"Quick, call an ambulance!"
That noon,
ATV and TVB reported the news of Boss Li being hospitalized.
All Hong Kong citizens: "............"
Five-Star Group Building.
Zi Councilor Jian took 2 underlings and walked into the building. (From "Triad" · Ah Ting's opponent)
"This is the Five-Star Group?"
"A bunch of big bosses inside!"
The 2 underlings looked around while trembling, feeling that their dirty bodies had entered a sacred place.
Zi Councilor Jian scolded: "Can you not be so unpromising!"
Scolding was scolding, Zi Councilor Jian also felt pressure.
After all, he was a bit dark.
And this place was full of positive energy, feeling guilty.
Soon, he came to the 6th floor, passed the secretary's office: "We are here to find Brother Qiu."
Secretary: "You are Zi Councilor Jian, right?"
Zi Councilor Jian: "Yes."
Secretary: "Brother Qiu is already waiting for you inside... But they two cannot go in."
"Thank you." Zi Councilor Jian thanked politely, then let the two underlings wait downstairs.
Pushed the door,
Walked into Gao Qiu's office.
Gao Qiu was sitting at the desk, busy reviewing documents.
Zi Councilor Jian said respectfully: "Brother Qiu!"
While saluting, he looked at this office, the first reaction was several bookshelves, put a lot of books, such as "Management", "Leadership", "Finance"...
Wow~~ simply too stylish.
Felt his incompatibility again.
Then, he saw a vertical calligraphy and painting hanging on the side wall, with four big characters on it—"Go to your mother".
Zi Councilor Jian: "???"
His brain couldn't help but shrink.
What about the style?
At this time,
"These four characters are 'Spring Pool Yan Rhyme', not 'Go to your mother'..."
Gao Qiu looked at Zi Councilor Jian and smiled.
These words were sent by Brother Zu, meaning? It means spring is full of vitality, and it's useless, it's just Gao Jin's bad taste.
Zi Councilor Jian froze, not 'Go to your mother'?
Immediately his old face turned red, exposing his illiteracy.
Gao Qiu returned to seriousness: "Alright, the things I asked you to check, did you find them?"
Zi Councilor Jian straightened up and nodded: "Basically found them, Black Chai's drug powder den is probably in the building at No. 543 Keelung Street, Sham Shui Po. I don't know which household specifically. However, there are many residents in that building, the floor is complex, and it is relatively easy to escape."
A few days ago, he received Gao Qiu's invitation to have a meal in Causeway Bay.
Gao Qiu gave him a task to contact the big drug powder dealer (selling powder separately) Black Chai in Yau Tsim Mong, and try to find Black Chai's drug powder den.
If it were in Wan Chai, no need for others to go out, the neighbors would secretly report it to the Five-Star Group.
However, Yau Tsim Mong belongs to the 'New Land', so it needs to be checked.
And these few days, Zi Councilor Jian really used his identity as a gangster to get news and found a point.
"Hard work." Gao Qiu praised, "You do things for the Five-Star Group, the Five-Star Group will not forget you."
Zi Councilor Jian hurriedly said: "Thank you Brother Qiu for the opportunity!"
Gao Qiu nodded, then called Leung Ma, and told her about the matter.
Leung Ma: "This place is indeed my territory, it's right next to Yau Ma Tei... How? Do you need help?"
Gao Qiu: "Can... do me a favor."
Told her the general arrangement.
Leung Ma: "Okay, I"
To Ah Ting who is responsible for property in Yau Tsim Mong: "Ah Ting, send someone to check the building at No. 543 Keelung Street, Sham Shui Po. It is likely a drug powder kitchen. Don't disturb them, just send property management to check the water and electricity meters, and see the water and electricity usage."
Roughly knowing which building, for the Five-Star Group, it was very easy to handle next.
Ah Ting: "Okay, Brother Qiu."
After Gao Qiu hung up the phone, he hugged Zi Councilor Jian's shoulder and smiled: "Let's go, treat you to a late-night snack."
Zi Councilor Jian was flattered.
The boss's arm!
The two came to the lobby on the first floor. Zi Councilor Jian looked around, but the underlings were not there. Instead, a sound of 'cheering' came from inside the first floor.
Zi Councilor Jian was curious.
Gao Qiu said: "Heard you are very good at fighting."
Zi Councilor Jian: "Don't dare, don't dare."
But he was still a bit proud, he was indeed good at fighting, and could be counted as a fierce general.
Gao Qiu smiled: "Let's go, go see."
Walked inside, inside was a gym, in the middle was a ring. On the ring, two people were fighting.
Gao Jin vs Ghost Eye.
Ghost Eye is 14 years old this year, because of sufficient nutrition, as well as crazy training, his height has reached 174cm, weight reached 75kg, plus he has very high martial arts talent, his strength is already not to be underestimated.
The battle on the ring, Gao Jin was letting go, fighting back and forth with Ghost Eye.
Gao Jin's personality is very cold, but he has always looked at Ghost Eye differently, feeling that they have a very good fate, and is cultivating him as a younger brother.
He fed Ghost Eye moves for more than a year, Ghost Eye's strength is advancing by leaps and bounds, and he is almost catching up with Gao Gang.
"Bang bang bang~~~~"
Ghost Eye's fists and feet turned into afterimages, attacking Gao Jin.
Gao Jin responded calmly, dodging and moving, relaxed and free.
And Zi Councilor Jian, who was watching the battle under the ring, felt a shock.
!.
"Damn! So strong!"
Gao Jin's performance, in Zi Councilor Jian's view, was unfathomable.
And that Ghost Eye, who looked like a child with a childish face, that strength, speed, and moves, made Zi Councilor Jian's eyebrows jump wildly, and he couldn't help but touch his face, as if his face had the illusion of being beaten.
Gao Qiu said on the side: "His name is Ghost Eye, 14 years old this year... Do you want to go up and play?"
What?
14 years old?
A brat?
Zi Councilor Jian was surprised.
Is he that heaven-defying?
"No! No!"
Zi Councilor Jian's head shook out of illusion.
Although he likes to fight, liking to fight doesn't mean he likes to be beaten, and still be beaten by a brat.
His inner pride was shattered at this moment.
Damn, it turns out I'm a scum!
Sham Shui Po, Keelung Street No. 543.
Kwong Hing Building.
A group of Five-Star Property staff, holding water and electricity meter bills, went door-to-door to check.
In Hong Kong, water and electricity meters are outside and inside, and the water and electricity meters of this building are outside.
"Bang bang bang~~~"
"Is anyone there!"
"Coming~~~"
"We are Five-Star Property, from now on this piece of land will be managed by our Five-Star Property Company, and the water and electricity meters will also be read by us..."
Door-to-door, knocking on doors one by one.
Room 504,
A group of people were inside extracting and packaging drug powder... These drug powders were obtained from Kani in Malaysia, and then Black Chai took them to the kitchen to separate them and manufacture various styles of things. (From "The White Storm" · Malaysia · Kani)
The knocking sound getting closer and closer outside naturally attracted their attention.
A group of 'chefs' took out guns one after another, vigilant.
Head Sang Kui hurriedly stopped them: "Don't be nervous first, wait until you ask clearly, it's not like we haven't collected electricity bills before."
"Bang bang bang~~~"
Not long after, the knocking reached their side.
One by one, they hid.
Head Sang Kui went to open the door, revealing a crack, the iron door blocked it.
Ah Dong, Ah Ting's brother: "Hello, Five-Star Property, here to check water and electricity meters, tell you, and then within a week, go to the Five-Star Property Company to pay electricity and water bills..."
Sang Kui's suspicious gaze: "Didn't the water company and China Light and Power come to check before?"
Ah Dong smiled: "Don't you know? It changed this month, our Five-Star Property came to collect, extracting a share..."
Sang Kui was still a bit vigilant: "However, Five-Star Property doesn't collect in Yau Tsim Mong? This is Sham Shui Po."
Ah Dong smiled: "Because this piece of land belongs to Hung Hing, and our Five-Star company has some relationship with Hung Hing, so this piece of land is handed over to our Five-Star Property in the future."
Sang Kui thought about it, this piece of land is indeed Hung Hing Leung Ma's territory, and Five-Star is indeed inextricably linked with Hung Hing.
The suspicion dissipated a lot: "Good, we will go to pay water, electricity, and property fees this week."
Ah Dong: "This is the first time, tell you, please support more in the future..."
He said some things about property, and then went to the next house.
Sang Kui closed the door.
"Should be fine..."
The chefs breathed a sigh of relief one after another and hid the guns.
A 'chef': "Brother Kui, Five-Star Property came, we must move away as soon as possible."
Other 'chefs' also nodded: "Right, move away as soon as possible."
"Good!" Head Sang Kui called Black Chai and told him about the situation.
Bar side,
Black Chai was drinking with Billy and others. After hearing the report, he was also a bit guilty.
That is Five-Star Property!
Black Chai hurriedly said: "Move quickly... move tonight, you guys pack up everything first, and then start moving after 23:00."
After hanging up the phone, Black Chai scolded: "Really unlucky."
Billy smiled: "What's wrong?"
Black Chai smiled slightly: "Nothing."
He is a very vigilant person, he never told Billy about the powder stall.
And he didn't tell Billy about the transaction with Malaysia's Kani next week, only on the day of the action would he notify the action.
Police Headquarters, CIB Criminal Intelligence Bureau.
Assistant Commissioner Tsang Heung-wing's office. (*Cold War*)
17:30, time to get off work.
Tsang Heung-wing got off work on time as usual, picked up his suit jacket, put it on, and prepared to head out.
"Ring, ring, ring~~~"
His desk phone rang.
Assistant: "Tsang Sir, Mr. Director Guan Zu's secretary is on the line, asking if you have time to grab a meal later at the Peninsula Hotel."
"Director Guan Zu? That Director Guan Zu from the Five Star Group?"
"Yes."
Tsang Heung-wing was puzzled, but still said, "Tell his secretary I'm free, and I'd be very happy to have a meal with Mr. Director Guan."
One hour later...
The Peninsula Hotel,
Private room, shaking hands.
"Tsang Sir, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Mr. Director Guan, I've long admired you."
Director Guan Zu looked at Tsang Heung-wing, thinking of this guy as the true old fox from *Cold War*; while things were being fought to the death in Hong Kong, he was attending meetings in the United States.
And Tsang Heung-wing looked at Director Guan Zu, recalling his series of titles, most notably how he had pulled Huang Bingyao into the position of Assistant Commissioner of Police, and now that he was a Legislative Councilor, a single "Investigation Committee" had been enough to torment Mr. Li to the point of near-death.
This person is terrifying!
Must absolutely not... offend him!
Wait,
It seems he had already offended him!
Tsang Heung-wing couldn't help but wipe sweat from his forehead!
The good news was, Director Guan Zu didn't know!
Tsang Heung-wing breathed a sigh of relief.
After three rounds of drinks, Director Guan Zu stated his purpose: "Tsang Sir, I came here this time because I want to ask you for someone."
Tsang Heung-wing was stunned for a moment.
"Who?"
"Billy!"
Tsang Heung-wing's head buzzed...
*Clatter~~~* His chopsticks dropped directly onto the floor.
Director Guan Zu actually knew Billy was an undercover agent?!
What the hell!
Tsang Heung-wing was numb!
He had just said 'Good news: Director Guan Zu doesn't know,' and in the blink of an eye, Director Guan Zu told him 'I know'...
"Cough, cough~~~" Tsang Heung-wing drank some water to calm his shock. "Mr. Director Guan, how did you know?"
Director Guan Zu smiled: "I naturally have my channels... However, I have always cherished talent, and I liked Billy very much; it was a great pity when he resigned at the time."
Tsang Heung-wing found the point, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, yes. Sigh, at the time I had so many misunderstandings about Mr. Director Guan, so I sent Billy to Mr. Director Guan's side to find evidence of Mr. Director Guan's crimes."
"But!"
Tsang Heung-wing said sonorously,
"Not only did I fail to find evidence of your crimes, Mr. Director Guan, but I instead discovered a pile of moving deeds. At that moment, I realized I had misunderstood you; you are a person of high morality, selfless, noble, upright, self-sacrificing, and full of integrity..."
Tsang Heung-wing threw a pile of complimentary adjectives at Director Guan Zu.
For some reason, Director Guan Zu looked at Tsang Heung-wing and thought of the scene where Bai Chi Li was buttering up the doctor.
Well played, Tsang Heung-wing; looking at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never expected you to be this kind of person!
