Chapter 163, Police Story 2
Seven days ago!
With the efforts of a large team of lawyers headed by Attorney Lin, Cointreau Hotel and Xiangjiang's insurance company, Golden Gate Construction, reached the following agreement.
The top six insurance companies in Hong Kong will compensate Cointreau Hotel for a total of US$158 million, which will be paid within seven days, to make up for the losses suffered by Cointreau Hotel in the jewelry robbery.
Kinmen Construction compensated the Cointreau Hotel for using substandard decorative materials in the amount of HK$105 million, of which the material supplier was primarily responsible and paid HK$100 million.
Kinmen Construction was jointly and severally liable and paid HK$5 million and apologized.
The exchange rate between Hong Kong dollars and U.S. dollars is 1:5, which means that for a fraction of the price paid for the construction in Kinmen, the Cointreau Hotel received a total of US$178 million in compensation.
Considering that Lei Weidong only spent a total of US$75 million to acquire the hotel, the hotel was seriously damaged and needed to be closed for a year for renovation.
The cost is only 30 million U.S. dollars. After all, the main building of the hotel is fine. All that needs to be done is to renovate it.
Even if you include personnel wages, losses from business suspension, and attorney fees and other miscellaneous expenses, US$50 million is enough.
In other words, in just a few days, Lei Weidong not only got a Cointreau Hotel for free, but also made tens of millions of dollars. The profits made the original shareholders of Cointreau Hotel red with envy.
Unfortunately, the contract is signed in black and white, and the ownership has been transferred, so what can be done.
Although Kinmen Construction apologized, it only paid 5 million Hong Kong dollars. For Kinmen Construction, this was just pocket money, and it was earned back with a small project.
So he reciprocated the favor. Not only did Gui Lao's senior management drop the charges against Lei Weidong, but he also pushed the police to award awards to the two major police stations in Wan Chai and Central.
Because of their meritorious command, Huang Bingyao and Lin Meng were promoted to one level in police rank. Huang Bingyao became the chief superintendent, and Lin Meng also became the senior superintendent.
Uncle Biao and Lei Weidong, because they had just been promoted, would not be able to convince the public if they were promoted again, so they could only report their praise in the police force and award them with medals.
Instructor Hu was already a senior inspector. If Lei Weidong did not change her police rank, it would be difficult for her to be promoted, so she was awarded the same medal as Lei Weidong.
Meiko from the intelligence team was promoted to senior inspector because of her ability in work.
Jian Huizhen, Bai Kailen, and Hui Yinghong ended their internship period early and became inspectors. Li Ying, Ma Jun, and Zhu Huabiao were promoted to trainee inspectors. Taking into account the academic qualifications of the three, the director gave special approval, and the inspector interview could be a formality, eliminating the need for the three of them.
The biggest difficulty.
Lin Hai was promoted to police sergeant, four newcomers Yin Mingyang, Fang Zheng, Guo Haihua, and Song Zijie were promoted to sergeant. The police academy trainees who followed Lei Weidong to Wan Chai were promoted to police officers. The promotions of senior police officers and overlords were different.
One narrated.
What needs to be mentioned is that Chen Jiaju, who had just become a trainee inspector again because of his meritorious service, was immediately blamed.
"Five million, is there any mistake?" Lin Meng's eyes turned green when he looked at the compensation list sent by the police.
Lei Weidong asked the insurance company to compensate for the loss of more than 100 million US dollars. Because there was a contract and the other party had a huge team of lawyers, the insurance company accepted that it was bad luck and obediently paid the compensation.
However, the insurance company is not a vegetarian. After compensating Lei Weidong, it immediately approached the British Hong Kong government. The loss of the Cointreau Hotel was caused by the fierce battle between police and robbers, that is, the police force caught the thief. The government must compensate, even if it cannot fully
Part of the amount of compensation must also be paid.
Hong Kong is a capitalist society, and the government is controlled by capitalists. The government is not afraid of ordinary insurance companies, but some insurance companies have the shadow of Jardine Matheson and HSBC behind them.
Compensation is necessary, and it is taxpayers' money anyway.
So he tried his best to get to the Central Police Station. Although the fee was only HK$5 million, he almost vomited blood.
Although Lin Meng did not have to pay for this money himself and was deducted from the budget of the police station, Lin Meng was heartbroken when he thought that the police station personnel's bonuses were halved for a whole year.
I knew that he had no good intentions in letting Chen Jiaju go to the front line to share the credit, but the retribution came as expected. Five million can buy several large villas.
"That's right, Director. I just had a phone call with my colleagues in the police department. There is also a fine of five million in Wan Chai, but..." Uncle Biao hesitated.
"But what?" Lin Meng asked.
"After the Wan Chai Police Station received the ticket, Salina, Lei Weidong's girlfriend, approached Huang Bingyao and said that she wanted to show the Wan Chai Police Department's help to the Cointreau Hotel.
I gave away five million, shopping vouchers that can be used to purchase goods in supermarkets affiliated to the Oriental Group, which in disguise made up for the losses of the Wan Chai Police Station." Uncle Biao stammered.
"Director, you also know that Wei Dong is not from our police station. I am really embarrassed to speak to Salina."
"Bastard Huang Bingyao, we promised to share the blessings and the hardships together. Now it's okay. The credit is shared. I will take the responsibility alone." Lin Meng sat down on the chair and sighed, "Uncle Biao, what do you think now?
what to do?"
"I can only feel sorry for Jiaju." Uncle Biao said.
As a result, Chen Jiaju was called to the police station office.
"You know, there was a series of car accidents a month ago. Although the gangsters were caught, our losses were very heavy. More than 30 cars collided in a series." Lin Meng slapped the table and sang with a black face.
"Yes, there are several luxury cars inside, either Mercedes-Benz or BMW." Uncle Biao sang red-faced at the side, "The government has spent millions on compensation alone."
"There is also the robbery of the Cointreau Hotel. The entire hotel was severely damaged, and the compensation was as high as hundreds of millions of dollars. You have a share of credit for this." Lin Meng continued to play blackface.
"I think taxpayers should understand that it costs money to maintain a stable society." Chen Jiaju didn't know what he was wrong about, so he could only tell the truth.
"But taxpayers' money is not used to pay compensation for your personal hero's idea. The case three days ago was just to catch two little thieves. You didn't take the stairs and use the electric light, which cost the government millions more in compensation.
A letter has been sent to me asking for explanation."
Seeing that Chen Jiaju was not on the road, Lin Meng became angry.
"The director is right, Jiaju, why don't you take the stairs and use the electric light? I think the bad thing is that you are so good at it." Uncle Biao and Lin Meng sang in harmony, leaving Chen Jiaju speechless.
"Uncle Biao is right, but our police force does not need skilled police officers, but police officers who obey discipline. You have to learn this from Lei Weidong.
He is younger than you, and now he is only one step away from being the superintendent. As long as he solves another major case, he will be promoted to the superintendent. In a few years, he may be promoted to me. "
"But I never thought about catching thieves and getting promoted. I just can't stand them." Chen Jiaju explained.
"Jiaju, catching the thief is the result of teamwork, not the credit of any one person. Your idea is very dangerous." Chen Jiaju's words made Lin Meng frown and reprimanded.
"Yes, Jiaju, I didn't fire you or demote you because of your meritorious service." Uncle Biao continued to make up his mind.
"I think you have serious personal heroism. You no longer remember how to be an ordinary policeman. From now on, you will wear a uniform and go wherever you need help." Lin Meng leaned on the chair and announced the punishment for Chen Jiaju.
"Every day the wind blows, the rain hits the sun, Jiaju, you are miserable." Uncle Biao shrugged and gestured for Chen Jiaju to leave quickly.
So the next day!
Chen Jiaju wore a uniform and started patrolling the streets on a motorcycle. When he saw a group of Mitsubishi trucks racing, he immediately chased them and forced them to stop.
After issuing more than a dozen tickets, the driver said, "If you are capable of being a thief, copy, copy, copy!"
Ka Kui once again said the classic saying, "I came here to copy cards because I was too desperate to catch the thief."
"Jiaju, have a drink!"
After punishing the speeding vehicles, Chen Jiaju was sent to divert traffic. Seeing Chen Jiaju's hard work in directing the traffic, Ami, who was waiting for him to get off work on the roadside, handed him a bottle of drink.
"I won't drink." Chen Jiaju shook his head as he looked at the drink handed over by Amei.
"Would you like to take a sip? Who knows when you will be able to leave."
"I can't drink because I don't know when I'll be able to leave. I'll pee after drinking." Even though he said this, Chen Jiaju still took the drink and took a sip to save Ami's face.
"What kind of cola is this? It has a faint herbal flavor. It feels a little weird, just like the first time you drink beer. You are not used to it. But after a few more sips, you will find the taste very unique."
Chen Jiaju smacked his lips, couldn't help but drink it all in one breath, and looked at the drink bottle in his hand.
"Tianfu Cola, Ami, what brand is this?"
"Brother Dong brought it back from the mainland." Seeing Chen Jiaju drink up all the Coke, Ami took out another bottle from her bag and handed it over.
"What Brother Dong encountered at the Canton Fair is said to be a formula jointly developed by Shancheng Beverage Factory and Sichuan Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The raw materials are all composed of natural traditional Chinese medicine ingredients and do not contain any hormones.
According to the manufacturer, this cola can effectively resist aflatoxin, which is a highly toxic substance classified by the World Health Organization as a Category 1 carcinogen. It is extremely easy to infect corn, rice, wheat, beans, meat, milk and dairy products, etc.
Produced in food.
For this reason, Brother Dong placed a batch of orders with the manufacturer and shipped them back to Xiangjiang for sale. They are the main products of our mall."
A Mei suddenly lowered her voice and said in Chen Jiaju's ear,
"Brother Dong is arranging for people in the laboratory to conduct experiments on mice. If Tianfu Cola really inhibits aflatoxin, the prospects are immeasurable. We need to get the formula of Tianfu Cola at all costs, and then produce it ourselves to dominate the mainland and even the mainland.
Asia’s cola market.”
"Weidong is back from the mainland?" Chen Jiaju didn't care about what Ami said about the beverage factory. What he was concerned about was that Lei Weidong, who had been in the mainland for more than a month, finally came back from the mainland.
"I'm back. I came back this morning. In addition to missing you, I came here because Brother Dong and Sister Salina invited us to dinner tonight. I guess Brother Dong saw the way you were patrolling in the car today.
, that’s why Salena invited me.”
