After some haggling, Hong Jipeng agreed to release one hundred hostages under Zhuo Jingquan's threat to release Wang.
He felt that Wang Yaozu's words were correct. There was no essential difference between a hundred hostages and three hostages. There was a red line for killing hostages. Once it was crossed, it would not be a simple robbery, but a terrorist attack.
And once it is characterized as a terrorist attack, the response method is another matter.
Therefore, there is no problem in releasing a hundred hostages. At the same time, all the cars in the passage can be cleaned. As Li Jie just said, it will affect the power of the explosion.
Of course, another thing is to clean up the air in the tunnel... There were hundreds of people in the tunnel overnight, which was too much... Although there was a large exhaust device in the tunnel, the smell was a bit loud.
At that time, Hong Jipeng was so angry that he almost kicked all the hostages into tutu. They were all excrement-making machines!
Fortunately, he thought quickly and asked the hostages to be pulled into several large trucks. After a while, the trucks were taken out and they were relieved.
On the other hand, Zhuo Jingquan was also very happy.
To be honest, hundreds of hostages were detained in the tunnel, and the police were under great pressure. Although Wang Yaozu helped to greet the media, no one took this matter to put pressure on the police. They also emphasized that they rescued a man last night.
The incident of the Hundred People helped alleviate public opinion, but the pressure was still considerable.
Although there is no difference between seizing 100 hostages and 300, being able to rescue 100 hostages again reflects the results of the police's efforts to rescue the hostages, and also relieves some of the pressure on the Hong Kong government.
You know, early this morning many family members of the hostages who were detained came to the Hong Kong government to demonstrate, and the Hong Kong government was also under great pressure. After all, they still had to consider the international impact.
This is because the same thing has different effects on different people. These 100 people have reduced the huge pressure on the police and the Hong Kong government, giving the police and the Hong Kong government more confidence to delay time.
This is the relatively immature side of Hong Jipeng who has little experience in robbery. If he were replaced by a guy whose name was written upside down and he did not want to be named, he would definitely not let the other party see the hair of a hostage except the corpse. In the end, he would not be able to see the hostage at all.
There is no need to take action yourself. The longer the time goes on, the greater the pressure from the outside world, and the police and the Hong Kong government will naturally be able to blow themselves up on the spot.
Of course, Wang Yaozu would not tell Hong Jipeng this kind of advanced experience, and would just watch this guy pave the way for the police raid.
This man has been deceived too much, and his IQ is obviously on a downward trend.
A large number of cars were driven out of the tunnel, and the police on both sides of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island had to open a channel to let a large number of cars pass through while starting to accept hostages.
As soon as the hostages came out, a large number of police officers, medical staff, reporters, and others rushed forward, and the scene became noisy again. Wang Yaozu felt noisy, so he went back to his RV to rest early.
As soon as I lay down, the phone in my hand rang.
"What are you doing again? No, Hong Jipeng, you are calling one after another. Are you free? If you have this time, can't you cherish the last time?" Wang Yaozu said with some viciousness: "You
You are going to die, do you know?"
Hong Jipeng:???
Why the hell is he cursed? It's a little bit vicious.
"Speak clearly to me." Hong Jipeng forgot what he wanted to ask.
After finding a comfortable position and lying down, Wang Yaozu began to change his angle again... and analyzed the situation for him from another angle, "I asked the people at the company to learn about the Western Harbor Crossing Company. I also looked at the ownership structure. I asked him
The person you are working with must be Yan Guorong from Jiali Construction."
"You don't need to deny it. The reason is very simple. One of the other two major shareholders of the Western Harbor Crossing is Hong Kong Link Holdings. He is the largest shareholder of the three major tunnels. They are looking at long-term profits and don't care what you are doing now. The east is not bright.
The Western Harbor Crossing is unprofitable and there are Hung Hom and Eastern Harbor Crossing. The other one is CITIC Pacific. Haha, this company has a bigger background. The current chairman of the board of directors is the son of the red capitalist Mr. Rong. Therefore, the only people who can do this are
Yan Guorong of Jiali Construction.”
"I found out that this guy's company has had some financial problems recently, and the funds are not flowing smoothly. The shares he holds that are least profitable are those of the Western Harbor Crossing. The problem is that he has too many shares.
, 20%. If he wants to reduce his holdings, he must issue an announcement, which will cause the stock price to plummet in a short period of time, and he will not be able to sell so many stocks in the secondary market in a short period of time. As for the primary market, no one will accept them."
Hong Jipeng heard what he heard, and he was a little confused. He had never played in stocks, so how could he understand it? But he could roughly tell that Wang Yaozu figured out who was behind the scenes based on his analysis of funds and business operations.
"So, the only two ways he wants to sell his shares are, first, to find someone to repurchase them in the primary market, either the Hong Kong government or others, and second, to have major benefits, one that can completely cover up his
Issued a reduction announcement and swallowed up the major benefits of most of his stocks."
"And your behavior is undoubtedly a major benefit. Although this is not good news, no matter whether the Hong Kong government agrees to buy back or not, as long as this news comes out, the shares of Western Harbor Crossing will definitely rise sharply in a short period of time.
At this opportunity, he can sell all the stocks in a short period of time. The capital flow in Hong Kong stocks is too great, and those small investors alone can swallow up all the shares in his hands."
"It can be seen from this that, in fact, whether your action is successful or not has no impact on Yan Guorong. There are only a few results. First, your action is successful, the Hong Kong government repurchases it, and Yan Guorong transfers the shares to the Hong Kong government at a premium and successfully escapes.
, Second, if your action fails and the Hung Hom Tunnel perishes together, the Western Harbor Crossing gets the maximum dividend, and the stock rises sharply, then he only needs to sell a small part of the stock or simply take out a mortgage to relieve the temporary financial pressure. Third, you
The operation failed, the Hong Kong government refused to buy it back, the detonation failed, and you did not run away, but were shot dead or captured by the police."
"Even the last outcome is not a big problem for Yan Guorong. 48 hours is enough for him to arbitrage his way out of the stock market."
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that this morning Yan Guorong has issued a shareholding reduction announcement on the pretext of supporting the Hong Kong government's actions to rescue hostages. Judging from the current capital transaction volume of the Western Harbor Crossing Company, he has cashed out more than a dozen dollars in a short period of time.
Two billion is not a problem. As far as I know, there are many institutions involved in the speculation this time. Of course, the securities company under my name has also had a hand in it. If you don’t pick up the money that falls on the ground, you won’t pick it up.”
"However, there is a problem here, and that is you. I can actually tell you clearly that the Hong Kong government's buyback is basically impossible. How the finance will be spent is decided a year in advance. Every time
Every penny has its place. For example, the police force has a certain annual expenditure of 10 billion, which is related to everyone’s salary, retirees’ salary, medical care, equipment replacement, logistics support, etc.”
"If you want to suddenly allocate tens of billions of funds, you have to draw them from the planned expenditures of various departments on Hong Kong Island. No department will be willing to reduce expenditures. This is simply impossible. Can you reduce the police force's salary by two months?
?This is impossible!”
"Even if the Hung Hom Tunnel is bombed, even if hundreds of people die, it will still be next year's fiscal deficit. It has nothing to do with the expenditures of various departments. So I say that government buybacks are not reliable at all. And on this point, you have no education.
It is normal for the robbers not to know, but it is impossible for Yan Guorong not to know, so the question is, why would he make such an impossible request to buy back the goods."
Hong Jipeng:???
"Actually, he is clearly bullying you because you are uneducated and don't understand anything. He is just using the information gap to deceive you. This method is extremely common in business. For example, in the stock market, institutions harvest retail investors, and large companies bully small companies.
, all use this method, and the channels for everyone to obtain information are completely unequal."
"So, the failure of the operation is certain. Your ending will definitely be 2 or 3, either dead or captured. And Yan Guorong will never see you captured alive. You are dead."
"What the hell, I can't escape successfully!!" Hong Jipeng said through gritted teeth.
"I've thought too much, it's impossible!" Wang Yaozu concluded directly, "Your method is nothing more than to ask the police to provide a helicopter, then set a timer to detonate, take a few important hostages with the detonator and fly away, and then go to the high seas to exchange and detonate
device."
"These are all leftovers from my play. I told you that the police would not agree, so I can't believe you."
Hong Jipeng: Why the hell did you know it before I even said it?
Gan!
"Your techniques are too crude. You have not grasped the essence of robbery at all. You are still in the stage of purely using violence. It is too easy for Yan Guorong to deal with you. He only needs to arrange one or two undercovers among your people in advance and kill you at the last moment.
By surrendering directly, rescuing hundreds of hostages by defecting on the spot, and reversing the hundreds of billions of economic losses that may have been caused to Hong Kong Island, we can definitely get the maximum reduction of sentence from the judge."
"It won't take long for him to be released. I believe Yan Guorong will not treat him badly. For example, ten million is enough to bribe someone for three to five years. Are you right?"
"And you are just an insignificant person who was sacrificed. Nothing will exist except leaving a photo in the newspaper."
"Everyone is happy, and there is no proof of death, right?"
"Don't doubt a capitalist's cold-bloodedness and planning ability. Why are you playing with Yan Guorong?"
"Compared with IQ, winning people's hearts, and economic strength, there is a huge gap between you and Yan Guorong. There is no comparison."
"Or do you think your subordinates are with you because of brotherly loyalty? Are they willing to fight for you? Are they not afraid of sacrifice?"
"Do you believe it yourself?" Wang Yaozu started to ridicule and sow discord, but what he said was so logical that it was difficult for Hong Jipeng not to believe it, because it was so logical.
On the other end of the phone, Hong Jipeng's heart grew colder and colder as he listened. In the end, his clothes were soaked with cold sweat unknowingly, and his whole body felt like falling into an ice cave. He didn't know when the phone was hung up, and he silently looked at the people around him.
Suddenly, he felt that everyone who looked at him had vicious murderous intent hidden in his eyes.
On the other side, Zhuo Jingquan, who had been interviewed for a while and had gained a lot of attention, came back with satisfaction and found that Wang Yaozu was missing. He ran to the RV to look for him without thinking, but as soon as he opened the door, he found that Wang Yaozu was calling... He's fooling Shen Jipeng.
The most important thing is that after listening to it, he believed it!
Seeing Wang Yaozu hang up the phone, Zhuo Jingquan quickly came over and asked, "Will Yan Guorong really arrange for someone to kill Shen Jipeng?"
"Are you stupid?" Wang Yaozu turned around and glared at Zhuo Jingquan, "What you asked is so strange. I'm not Yan Guorong, how do I know?"
"Then why do you say that?" Zhuo Jingquan looked at Wang Yaozu in confusion.
"I just thought that guy was too idle and kept calling me to harass me, so I teased him." Wang Yaozu said with a smile: "Besides, if there is nothing to provoke, then they will be in unison when they come back to raid, wouldn't they? It’s easier to eliminate them.”
"Uh..." Zhuo Jingquan didn't expect Wang Yaozu to say that at all, and he silently felt sorry for Hong Jipeng for three seconds.
