Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

After the incident of chili peppers and curry was exposed, it did not actually have much impact on Hongxing, but it caused considerable damage to Chen Yao.

What’s even more interesting is that after these two people were reinstated, Lu Yongqiang’s people did not alienate them, and no one held a grudge against them. Instead, they got along with each other as before.

These two people are also shameless. Whenever they encounter a case, they actually go directly to Shouhou to ask for clues, and Shouhou actually gives them.

After they were reinstated, they both went to CID. Over the past six months, relying on the information provided by Shouhou, they solved nearly ten cases. One of them was a large-scale fraud case involving more than 10 million yuan. They also solved a serial theft case involving several million yuan, which can be considered large-scale cases.

Thanks to these cases, the two of them have established a firm foothold in CID.

Because there are so many role models, many police officers actually took the initiative to think of going undercover for Lu Yongqiang. According to many people on the police side, going undercover for Lu Yongqiang is like a career change and further training. After the training is completed, if you have the ability, you can have a chance to change jobs and directly work in a big company, and then you can make a big splash.

Even if you lack the ability and don't get the opportunity to change jobs, you can go back to being a cop. With your previous connections, it's like having many free informants, and you can then be successful in the police force.

So Ma Jun told Watson that this might be his chance.

After hearing Ma Jun's words, Watson didn't make any decisions immediately. Instead, he asked with some confusion, "Tuen Mun belongs to the New Territories North Region, and I'm in the Kowloon East Region. They're completely unrelated. Why would I go undercover in Tuen Mun?"

Hearing Watson's question, Ma Jun hesitated for a moment and then said, "When we were investigating the Vietnam Gang case, some colleagues noticed that Handsome Qiang's men were moving in and out of Jiangjun'ao, seemingly trying to find out something. As for the details, someone is already investigating, but they haven't found much yet."

"It's true that Handsome Qiang has never used harsh tactics against our undercover colleagues, but that doesn't mean he's a good person. On the contrary, he's more dangerous than other gang leaders. His nickname of the God of Killing isn't just self-promotion, it's earned through his real strength.

According to the information our police have, the number of people who died at his hands was at least eighty, if not a hundred.

Like the Jundu Hotel robbery that happened a few years ago, Handsome Qiang happened to be in the Jundu Hotel, and no less than thirty people died in his hands.

There was also the undersea tunnel shootout, in which Handsome Qiang was involved again. He and his two men, a total of three people, dealt with more than ten or twenty gangsters armed with heavy weapons.

In the two cases, Liangzai Qiang killed about thirty or forty people. These are just the number of people whose records can be verified. Liangzai Qiang has participated in many gang fights over the years, and it is still unknown how many people have died at his hands.

In our police department, whenever we shoot and kill someone, we have to seek emotional counseling from a psychologist afterwards, otherwise many people won't even be able to sleep.

Even for elites like the Flying Tigers who were screened through layers of screening, many people easily developed psychological problems due to participating in so many operations, and many people even had to resign because of this.

But look at that handsome Qiang and the people around him. Their hands are stained with the blood of others, but they don't have any psychological problems. Especially that handsome Qiang, he always has a smile on his face. I heard that he treats people quite gently and doesn't have any airs of a big boss at all.

We all say that human life is of paramount importance, but people like Liangzai Qiang have no reverence for life at all. They are typical killing machines who don't care about human life at all."

Ma Jun paused for a moment, then continued, "Our superiors are very wary of people like Liangzai Qiang, so no matter how harmless he appears, they have never let down their guard. There are people specifically watching him at Tuen Mun Police Station.

Now, Liangzai Qiang has sent people to Sai Kung. The boss is afraid something big might happen, so he wants to send people to Tuen Mun to gather information.

The people on the Scorpion side are not professionals in the intelligence field. Although they have been reminded to be careful, they still can't avoid revealing their flaws.

Fortunately, Lu Yongqiang had already anticipated that the people on the Scorpion side would be easily exposed, so when he asked them to inquire about the information, he did not tell them what specific information to inquire about, but instead asked them to inquire about whatever big or small things happened there.

So although the police found Lu Yongqiang's people, they were completely confused when they checked in detail. They had no idea what Lu Yongqiang was trying to do.

Because they couldn't find anything, the police over there started to worry that Lu Yongqiang was going to do something big, so they planned to send an undercover agent to Lu Yongqiang's side.

Lu Yongqiang was not aware of the police's subsequent arrangements. After the robbery that night, Shouhou took his men away. Lu Yongqiang did not do anything out of the ordinary in the next few days. Instead, he spent half a day dealing with company affairs and the other half in the boxing gym, or going out for a stroll, under the pretext of inspecting the business.

During this period, Lu Yongqiang and Lu Yongheng also participated in a taxi license plate auction together. The process was a bit tortuous, but in the end they still gained something. However, all the methods Lu Yongqiang had prepared before were in vain.

This auction was originally to be a sealed auction. Lu Yongqiang had already arranged with Joyce, the foreigner in charge of the auction. According to the plan agreed upon by the two, Lu Yongqiang did not need to fill in the specific reserve price. Joyce would help Lu Yongqiang fill it in according to the specific circumstances. In this way, he would not have to pay too much money and could still securely win the 500 yuan license plate.

However, plans cannot keep up with changes. A few days before the auction, the white man Joyce was reported. Someone reported that he abused his power for personal gain and secretly manipulated previous auctions. It is said that the reporter produced a lot of evidence.

After being reported, Joyce was taken back to the Independent Commission Against Corruption for coffee on the same day. This foreigner may face imprisonment next.

Lu Yongqiang was shocked when this happened. Although he didn't pay the agreed 30 million in advance, which was equivalent to not bribing Joyce, the foreigner, if Joyce got caught and blamed him in order to reduce his sentence, he would be in big trouble.

Just when Lu Yongqiang was considering whether to leave Hong Kong to avoid the limelight, the foreigner Joyce escaped very easily.

I heard that someone in the foreigner's hometown took action and contacted the parliament there, which in turn put pressure on the governor of Hong Kong. Later, people from the Governor's Office stepped in, and the foreigner Joyce was released by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

After coming out, the foreigner Joyce left Hong Kong the next day. I heard that he went back to his hometown.

After Joyce failed, the license plate auction was taken over by another foreigner named Robert. After taking over, the first thing he decided to do was to change the auction method from the previous sealed auction to an open auction.

Since it is an open auction, the highest bidder wins. Lu Yongqiang will no longer play any tricks and will directly compete with financial resources.

The total number of license plates released by the Hong Kong and Macau governments this time is 1,000, 300 in the urban area and 200 on Lantau Island. Because the New Territories have developed so rapidly in recent years, the New Territories have released the most license plates, a full 500.

There are three rounds of bidding in total, one round for 300 yuan in the city, one round for 200 yuan in Lantau Island, and finally one round for 500 yuan in the New Territories.

Chen Yao had originally planned to buy the license plate in the city for 100 yuan, but the auction rules changed and it was not auctioned separately, so Chen Yao was almost absent throughout the whole process.

This auction, in addition to changing the person in charge before the auction, changing the auction method and auction rules, also saw the emergence of a wealthy and powerful God of Wealth.

This God of Wealth is the Huo family, one of the top ten families in Hong Kong. At the beginning of the auction, the Huo family's bidding was very aggressive. For a license plate worth 300 yuan in the city, the Huo family bid 350,000 yuan per piece in the first round, and the second round of bidding directly increased to 450,000 yuan per piece.

The market price of a license plate in the city at that time was about 300,000 yuan per piece, but the Huo family raised the price to 450,000 yuan per piece. The premium of 150,000 yuan per license plate directly stunned the competitors.

Afterwards, the 200-yuan license plate on Lantau Island was also bought by the Huo family in one fell swoop, and the price was raised to 400,000 yuan per piece. The license plate that originally cost 250,000 yuan was now priced at a premium of 150,000 yuan per piece. The main point was that the family was rich and willful, which stunned those who participated in the auction at that time.

In the end, the market price of a 500-yuan license plate in the New Territories was 200,000 yuan per piece. Because of the sudden emergence of the God of Wealth, the Huo family, the price kept rising from 200,000 to 400,000, doubling. When Lu Yongqiang asked for 400,000 yuan, he was ready to give up. As long as the Huo family raised the price again, Lu Yongqiang would give up. Unexpectedly, the Huo family did not bid any more.

So although Lu Yongqiang won the New Territories license plates at this auction, the premium was too high, and it was hard to say whether he made a profit or a loss.

Originally, this batch of license plates could have been purchased for about 100 million yuan, but now it cost almost 100 million yuan more. This is not only speechless, but it also almost cut off Lu Yongqiang's funding chain.

Taxis in Hong Kong during this period not only cost a lot of money to buy the license plates, but the vehicles themselves were also very expensive. If it was a Toyota Crown, if you went through formal channels, even if you bought it in bulk, the price of one would be four or five hundred thousand. Lu Yongqiang needed five hundred vehicles, and the price would be about two or three hundred million.

Lu Yongqiang borrowed a total of 400 million yuan from Tong International. Based on this calculation, even if he invested all of the 400 million yuan, the money would still not be enough.

Fortunately, I had just made tens of millions of dollars from a scam, and with this money, I was able to finally fill the hole.

The pit was filled, but Lu Yongqiang was still angry. He had planned to give his subordinates a big red envelope at the end of the year so that everyone could have a prosperous year, but now the money had been used up, Lu Yongqiang had to find another way to make money.

Because of this incident, Lu Yongqiang was full of resentment towards the person who reported Joyce. After the auction, he always felt unhappy and angry.
