Chapter 1021 The Rules of the Landowners Association
Since he himself is no longer clean, it is no longer easy to criticize rogue police officers like Huang Wenbin and Liu Jianming who have no contacts.
"Could it be that the Independent Commission Against Corruption found evidence that you were dating Ni Kun?"
Zhang Pin heard Huang Wenbin talking about the common mantras of Ni Yongxiao and Ni Kun, so he couldn't help but curiously asked.
"No, not to mention that I had no shady dealings with Uncle Kun at the beginning. Even if I did, after so many years, would I still be stupid enough to keep the evidence and be discovered?"
Huang Wenbin shook his head and denied Zhang Pin's question.
"It's just that Uncle Kun and I can be considered honest, but when it comes to other things, we can't help but be manipulated."
After hearing Huang Wenbin's words, Zhang Pin finally understood that the other party was obviously unclean.
But since Huang Wenbin has revealed that he is a criminal police officer, it is normal for him to be unclean.
"You must have also received the news that I was summoned by the Independent Commission Against Corruption because of the Z Fund matter."
"I've heard a little bit about it."
Zhang Pin knew that business was coming.
"The water here is very deep, and this time they obviously want to treat me as an abandoned child."
Huang Wenbin himself is a bad person, so naturally he will not trust other people with all his heart.
"But what does this have to do with me?"
Zhang Pin couldn't help but become more confused when he heard Huang Wenbin's words.
Sir Zhang is now the chief of the operations department of Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. In theory, he has the right to participate in any incident in Tsim Sha Tsui.
But there is one kind of crime that is different, and that is financial crime.
Although this kind of crime involves a large amount of money, it often rarely involves personal injury or death.
Therefore, in order to deal with this new type of crime, the Hong Kong Police Force specially established the CCB, which is the Commercial Crime Bureau, to deal with this type of crime specifically.
Yes, whether it is Hong Kong Island or other places, financial crime is really a new type of crime.
Now that Huang Wenbin, as the head of the Commercial Crime Investigation Division, suddenly came to talk to him about commercial crimes, Zhang Pin couldn't help but feel a little confused.
...
Repulse Bay.
A double-decker yacht drove directly to the back garden of the villa, then a few people got on board, and the yacht sailed to the sea again.
Hu Zhiyong wore white shorts, sunglasses, a cigar in his mouth, and looked at the blue sky leisurely.
Rumble——
At this moment, a speedboat broke the calm of the scene.
A man in a black suit boarded the yacht from the speedboat and whispered a few words to the guards guarding the lower level.
Soon, the suit guard took Ma Zai's documents, climbed up to the second floor, and came to Hu Zhiyong's side.
"Boss, we just received news that after Huang Wenbin left the ICAC, he went directly to the Tsim Sha Tsui Police Station. Do we still want to continue to implement the original plan?"
"Um?"
After hearing what his men said, Hu Zhiyong couldn't help but stand up and sit up, then took off his sunglasses and looked at the man in the suit.
"What's going on? Could it be that he knew something in advance?"
When Hu Zhiyong talked about this, his face was inevitably a bit ugly.
He is the person in charge of Z Fund, and it was he who lobbied the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong Island and agreed to invest 15 billion from the Care Fund into Z Fund, thus using this 15 billion to leverage thousands of
billions of funds.
Now that Z Fund is about to be listed, with hundreds of billions of funds in the pool, Hu Zhiyong can't help but feel excited just thinking about it.
Although theoretically speaking, the hundreds of billions of funds in the capital pool are not his, but as the helmsman of Z Fund, coupled with his relationship with the Hong Kong Department of Justice, this money is actually not much related to his.
big difference.
Because of this, Hu Zhiyong was naturally not so disciplined during the operation.
As a result, I was reported by an accountant.
"By the way, how is Chen Yongcai?"
Hu Zhiyong felt a little angry when he thought of such a damn accountant.
If it hadn't been for the other party's repeated real-name reports to the police and the Independent Commission Against Corruption, Z Foundation would not have known that such a scandal had occurred.
"Don't worry, when Chen Yongcai was out walking his dog a few days ago, the dog suddenly lost control and slid down the cliff with him. Because it was already night and there was no one close to him.
, so the body was not discovered until yesterday.”
The guard in suit handed over the envelope while talking.
"Oh, it is indeed retribution."
Hearing the guard's words, Hu Zhiyong couldn't help but straighten up, then took the envelope, opened it and took out the photo inside.
The content in the photo was none other than Chen Yongcai's dead body. Next to him, there was a dog corpse that was also dead.
"The police have already stopped. There was no one else passing by, and the characteristics of the other party's death are very consistent with death after falling off a cliff. On the mountain, the police also found skid marks. After identification, it has been confirmed that they were caused by Chen Yongcai's shoes."
The suit guard talked about this as if he had seen it himself.
Hu Zhiyong did not speak again this time, but carefully read the photo from beginning to end several times, then picked up the wine glass on the side and drank a glass of red wine in one gulp.
He was obviously in a good mood at the moment.
"Since everyone is dead, let's just forget the debt we had with him. If you ask someone to tell Huang Wenbin, let him find out for himself. He took the money."
When Hu Zhiyong talked about Huang Wenbin, there was a bit of resentment in his tone.
When he learned that Chen Yongcai had reported the Z Fund in real name, in order to settle the matter, he went to Huang Wenbin, hoping to make the other party turn a blind eye.
As a result, Huang Wenbin opened his mouth and offered a price of 30 million.
Hu Zhiyong had no other choice but to grit his teeth and agree.
Unexpectedly, after Huang Wenbin announced the investigation results, Chen Yongcai sent the report letter to the Independent Commission Against Corruption again, and this time even Huang Wenbin was taken for investigation.
So Hu Zhiyong simply refused to do anything and directly asked Chen Yongcai to shut up his mouth forever.
Originally, he wanted someone to bring Huang Wenbin here. While giving Huang Wenbin money, he also gave him a beautiful woman. He also specially installed a camera in the room to record the details of Huang Wenbin's communication with the beautiful woman.
.
The purpose of doing this step is naturally to make Huang Wenbin shut up. Even if there is any problem, the other party must bear it himself.
But Huang Wenbin's current behavior is somewhat confusing to Hu Zhiyong.
"Europe is not peaceful recently. A sum of 100 million yuan will come in. You go down and contact the accountant and ask them to use the Z Fund accounts to launder the money."
Hu Zhiyong did not dwell on Hu Wenbin's affairs for too long. Ever since the Z Fund became a brand, especially after the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong Island put the 15 billion care fund into the Z Fund, he was able to go sideways in Hong Kong Island.
After all, no one in power would want to see this 15 billion in funds go to waste.
With this amulet, Hu Zhiyong can be said to be very proud of himself during this time.
He was originally just an ordinary financial trader in Hong Kong. One time, due to an unexpected combination of circumstances, he noticed a very strange flow of funds in the market, so he seized the opportunity and made a fortune from it.
As a result, someone came to Hu Zhiyong's door. From then on, he became acquainted with a secret gathering in Hong Kong Island.
People in this gathering like to play Landlord Club when they get together, so the outside world calls it Landlord Club.
After joining the Landlords Association, Hu Zhiyong began to make a fortune. In just a few years, he earned wealth that others would never have in a lifetime.
And it wasn't just about money. Later, he joined some high-end circles and came into contact with senior officials from the Financial Secretary and the Department of Justice of Hong Kong Island. With some intentional cooperation, the Z Fund was born.
After Hu Zhiyong came into contact with the high-level circles of Hong Kong Island, he became more and more courageous. As the financial center of Asia, Hong Kong Island attracts large amounts of money from all over the world every day.
Many of these funds are hidden from the light due to various reasons.
These funds need one or several channels to allow the money to circulate openly.
After Hu Zhiyong's business grew bigger and bigger, he focused on the money. He happened to have a huge investment company like Z Fund, and the daily turnover was enough.
Even in order to grab business, due to the harsh environment of normal money laundering, now only 30% will be left after laundering 10%.
Hu Zhiyong, however, wanted to make small profits but quick turnover, so he deliberately lowered the handling fee and only charged 30% of the commission fee.
And because his turnover is large enough and the amount of black money he can launder is large, even 30% is still an astronomical figure.
"Okay, boss, by the way, there is a charity dinner tomorrow. Since we have the funds for the Care Fund, we also need to participate. How much will we donate this time?"
The boys in suits didn't pay much attention when they heard Hu Zhiyong's arrangement. Although the news was very tight now, they had long been used to it. Money was laundered not once or twice, and no one in Hong Kong had the guts to check Z Fund's accounts.
"We have to donate money again. This is the third time this month. The money we have worked hard to earn is just used to support lazy people. It is really a crime. Let's donate one million this time. Let's just say the original profit
It hasn’t arrived yet.”
When Hu Zhiyong heard that he was going to donate money, his body ached immediately.
Although the money from the Care Fund does not technically belong to him, after entering the Z Fund, he has already regarded the money as his own. To donate it now is to cut off his body.
"By the way, tomorrow night is Uncle Tong's sixtieth birthday. Go get me a ten-pound golden peach. I will use it to celebrate Uncle Tong's birthday."
Hu Zhiyong remembered another thing and quickly ordered his men.
Uncle Tong is one of the current talkers of the Landlords Association, and it was the other party who introduced him to join the Landlords Association. In order to stabilize his position, Hu Zhiyong was very willing to do this.
The next day, dinner.
Halfway up the Taiping Mountain.
A brightly lit villa is now bustling with people. The men coming and going are all in suits and leather shoes, and the women are shining.
However, in the study room, there was a bad old man dressed in low-key and luxurious clothes, but his face looked quite ugly at the moment.
"That brat A Yong is so unruly."
There is a reason for Uncle Tong's ugly face.
It has been almost thirty years since the Landowners Association was established.
Especially during the stock market turmoil in 1972, they took action to block foreign capital and allowed Hong Kong Island's financial market to make its own decisions.
At that time, landlords would be considered the guardians of Hong Kong Island's financial markets.
It’s just that after so many years, as some old people in the landlord association left and new people joined, and their status became higher and higher, the original intention has naturally changed.
Nowadays, most members of landlord associations do so to enjoy the benefits brought by their status and strength.
Uncle Tong is naturally one of the best.
As the landlord's status becomes higher and higher, when choosing new people to join, the threshold will naturally become higher and higher.
As one of the favorable contenders for the next president of the landlord association, Uncle Tong chose Hu Zhiyong, a master of making money, and helped many people earn enough benefits to win several supporters.
But with the success of Z Fund, Hu Zhiyong has begun to gradually escape from his control.
Especially this time, the other party actually openly murdered a well-known accountant in Hong Kong Island and even bribed the superintendent of the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau of the Hong Kong Island Police Force.
These are simply two extremely stinky moves.
Uncle Tong knew very well that landlords may seem to have unlimited glory, but they are far from being invincible on Hong Kong Island.
Not to mention that as Hong Kong Island is about to change its owner, the Landowners Association itself is already thinking about the way forward.
At this time, Hu Zhiyong suddenly caused such an incident, and Uncle Tong immediately felt troubled.
"However, this is not an opportunity!"
Uncle Tong was originally planning to come forward to scold Hu Zhiyong and then tell him to run away quickly.
But when he got up, he suddenly thought of something.
Since the Landowners Association has been established for so many years, it is naturally not going to be smooth sailing. Especially for those of them who are in finance, they should not step on the red line too often.
But the landlord association has been able to survive for so many years, naturally because it has ways to deal with these things.
According to the rules of the Landowners Association, every time something happens that is too important to be settled through relationships or money, the oldest speaker will take the initiative to take the blame.
It just so happens that among the current members of the Landowners Association, the oldest person is Sima Xiang, the current president of the Landowners Association.
The other person is only sixty-one this year, only one year older than his uncle.
Members of the Landowners Association are not particular about retirement. It is not unusual for them that if things go well, Sima Xiang might sit in the position of president for ten years.
If Sima Xiang continues to sit in the position of president, then Uncle Tong will only be one of the talkers and will have no chance of rising to the top.
There is not much age difference between the two.
By the time Sima Xiang retired, Uncle Tong was probably already dead.
But now if it is done properly, Uncle Tong's eyes flashed, and he saw an opportunity.
So he immediately gave up reminding Hu Zhiyong to run away, and instead took out another phone number.
"Hey, Asheng, come into my study."
During the banquet, a dark-faced man with bumps on his face became excited when he received the call.
"Chance!"
Luo Minsheng's face was filled with ecstasy.
Didn't he come to this banquet just to find an opportunity to get in touch with the landlord association?
