Chapter 218 We Won the Bet
October 8th, Thursday.
Wang Yuanchao was inspecting the factories outside and did not receive He Wenzhao's call immediately.
Deep Blue is his most important cash cow at the moment, and the speed of making money is comparable to robbery, so he has to pay attention to it. With this thing, the futures in November will be like a tiger with wings, allowing him to achieve wealth upgrade as quickly as possible.
As for the film industry, it was just a budding idea in his mind, and he was not suitable to get involved in it for the time being.
If you have more money, you can just buy something. Why bother starting from scratch?
There is no system for theaters and producers to share revenue, and the system is not sound. He does not need to be a pioneer for the time being. The main reason is that the current revenue of Deep Blue is equivalent to that of a high-quality movie. He will still calculate this account. Let's wait until Deep Blue's profits return to normal before making a decision.
The situation is quite sensitive now, so he just needs to keep in touch with and understand people in the film industry.
Time is on his side, and he can handle it with ease.
After Wang Yuanchao finished supervising the decoration of the villa today and returned to the Shenlan Factory, he heard about this matter from the little black-faced Li Zhong.
But his cousin didn't say what it was.
Wang Yuanchao thought about it and called He Wenzhao back.
He Wenzhao himself answered the phone. He spoke with full energy, but his voice was a little tired:
"He Wenzhao, who are you?"
"Captain He, I'm Wang Yuanchao."
Hearing Wang Yuanchao's name, He Wenzhao's voice became excited:
"Wang Sheng, the war is over, we won the bet!"
war?
What war?
Wang Yuanchao took a while to react before he remembered, oh, it should be the confrontation on Sha Tau Kok Street!
This kind of minor friction is also called a war? It is an insult to war. I am afraid you have no concept of war!
Although he was complaining in his heart, Wang Yuanchao still smiled and said:
"Really? Tell me about it!"
He Wenzhao said happily:
"Is such that……"
After listening to He Wenzhao, Wang Yuanchao learned that yesterday, August 8, the temporary command post on the opposite side was withdrawn. Seeing that the opposite side had really withdrawn, the military police on this side breathed a sigh of relief.
I've been living in fear for a whole month!
I’m not afraid of waking up as a prisoner of war one day; I’m just afraid of never waking up again one day.
They suffered like this for a month!
He Wenzhao's "loyalty, bravery and fearlessness" were doubly recognized by the front-line police commander John and the front-line reconnaissance commander of the Hong Kong Navy Dapeng Bay!
He is a marine police officer and is under the dual leadership of the system and the front line.
At that time, he was promoted to the sergeant of the police station by Commander John on the front line without waiting for the police station to complete the procedures. As for higher police ranks, Chinese people do not have them for the time being.
The four famous Chinese chief inspectors in Hong Kong are only half a level higher than the police chief. In the police system, they are still at the level of police chief. The euphemistic name of the chief Chinese inspector is specially set up for the Chinese and for the Chinese.
So how could He Wenzhao not be excited?
How many people want to risk their lives to gain a good life, but not everyone has the opportunity to do so.
If it weren't for Wang Yuanchao's analysis and guidance, he would not have dared to fight at all. No one dared to fight, for fear of becoming cannon fodder.
Even if I gamble, I am still terrified every day. Do you really think everyone is the cutest person who is not afraid of life and death?
John's soldiers and police were all killed or injured, what use can the Chinese police be?
The moment he heard the war was over, his body went limp and he collapsed onto the speedboat.
His subordinates were also very considerate and said that Chief He was under too much pressure, patrolling the coastal areas with everyone every day and it was too stressful.
Everyone can see He Wenzhao's "diligence, loyalty and bravery", so this explanation makes a lot of sense.
So he was able to go home and recuperate for a few days as soon as possible.
But John's military police will remain stationed at the border for a few days before slowly withdrawing.
The first thing He Wenzhao wanted to do when he got home was to share the good news with Wang Yuanchao. However, Wang Yuanchao was not there, so he could only have a good sleep.
This is really, really wonderful.
After listening to He Wenzhao's sharing, Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Congratulations, Chief He. What are your plans for the future?"
He Wenzhao said:
“Not sure, I feel he might take over the position of Station Sergeant of the Marine Eastern Division.
After all, this place is close to the border and is quite sensitive, and our old sheriff has performed poorly. He has only been to the front line a few times this month and has often taken sick leave. "
Wang Yuanchao said:
"If you take over, do you think you can integrate the people below?"
He Wenzhao said:
“This is what I wanted to discuss with you.
You know, we are at the border, and smuggling is rampant. Those sheriffs have their own skills, they have numbers, and they have money.
As a new cadre like me, they may not listen to me.
It's not convenient to talk on the phone, how about you come over to my house? You have a car, it's convenient."
Wang Yuanchao looked at his watch and said:
"Okay, then we'll have to stay the night. We might not be able to get back after curfew."
The curfew is something that is sometimes loose and sometimes tight.
He Wenzhao said:
"No problem! Then I'll ask your sister-in-law to prepare dinner!"
……
Wang Yuanchao asked Li Zhong to go out and buy some gifts, and then made a phone call to Zhou Qibang.
"Zhou Qibang, who is this?"
"Wang Yuanchao!"
Zhou Qibang sat up straighter:
"Mr. Wang, how is your business these days? Do you need any help from the law firm?"
Wang Yuanchao said:
"The two sides negotiated peace, and the troops there withdrew yesterday."
Zhou Qibang's body tensed up:
"Is the news reliable?"
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Didn't I tell you that I have people on the front line? They just withdrew this morning, and the people behind will be withdrawn one after another."
Zhou Qibang slapped his thigh:
"Oh, we won the bet! No, I have to seize the opportunity and buy a few more properties! Mr. Wang, do you want me to help you with some funds? I won't charge you any interest."
Would Zhou Qibang believe it just because of a phone call from Wang Yuanchao?
No.
It was easy for him to verify the call as soon as it came.
On the contrary, if there was no phone notification, and you kept asking about news from the front line, even if your father was Zhou Xinian, you would most likely be invited for tea.
Dad is not good enough. In just three months, he went to Wanwan four times! This clearly shows that he doesn't take John's authority seriously and has no trust in John at all. It's too blatant, isn't it?
It must be up to him to repair and make up for it.
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
“How much can it support?”
Zhou Qibang was stunned. What a big tone! So he said generously:
"One million, is it enough?"
He had a rough idea of the shipment volume of the other party's Shenlan Electric Factory, which was generally over 10,000 per month, and the price under the contract with the foreign trade company was also quite attractive, so he was naturally not afraid that the other party would not be able to pay it back.
Wang Yuanchao couldn't help but think of ZA's Qiai Building and said:
"One million is only enough for me to buy half a building!"
Zhou Qibang was a little embarrassed as he failed to pretend to be a big guy!
"If you can mortgage it, I can help you get more credit! But only this million is interest-free."
Wang Yuanchao didn’t care too much about whether the interest was waived or not. That little interest was definitely not as much as the increase in house prices, so he said:
"I'm counting on what you said, Master Zhou. Let me get the detailed battle report and I'll have tea with you tomorrow!"
He Wenzhao and Zhou Qibang are the two points of mutual support that Wang Yuanchao is responsible for.
……
Following her husband's instructions, Mrs. Ho prepared a rich meal of vegetables, meat, and fruits at home. The Hong Kong government has been making great efforts to utilize the police force recently, so it has been very generous to the police and provided them with generous subsidies.
My husband came back early in the morning and went to bed right after he came back, so we had to celebrate with him even if Wang Li didn't come.
Seeing Wang Yuanchao and his cousin, He Wenzhao felt much better and asked with concern:
"Mr. Wang, your side should be affected more severely, right? I read in the newspaper that there are frequent shootings and explosions in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It seems that the casualties are no less than those on the front line."
Wang Yuanchao nodded:
"Yeah, there's no stopping.
But my factory is small and I treat my workers very well, so the impact is okay.
There are quite a few gang members who are taking advantage of the situation, collecting protection fees, and even groping female compatriots, which is extremely despicable. "
Wang Yuanchao thought of the several gang members who had harassed the Liu family, but they had all gone to the sea to feed the fish, hmm.
Mrs. He was immediately filled with righteous indignation: "Those gang members are really bad, involved in pornography, gambling, prostitution and loan sharking. It's better not to talk about them."
He Wenzhao shook his head and said:
“In Hong Kong, where are there no societies?
A small policeman like me is also a part of the community.
It's just that I don't have much power here, otherwise, I would have worked my way up to become a sheriff, why would I have waited until today to risk my life. "
Sure enough, before the establishment of the Independent Police Commission, this was the working environment in Hong Kong’s police force. Even senior police officers like Ho Man-chiu were part of a community organization.
These words seemed to make Wang Yuanchao admit that this is the reality of Hong Kong, and he should face it.
Li Zhong, the little black-faced man, was no longer surprised. After coming to Hong Kong for a few months, his mind had been severely impacted.
Young people, as long as they are not mentally injured, can adapt very quickly. He was even eager to try it out. The gang members who came to their factory to collect protection fees looked very arrogant.
Deep Blue also took the initiative to pay protection fees, otherwise the workers would be affected and the loss would outweigh the gain. Anyway, the gang members don't know the current scale of Deep Blue's profits, and they are still collecting according to the old information, which is acceptable.
Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Captain He, do you have any outstanding achievements on the front line?"
He Wenzhao smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"Don't laugh at me, Mr. Wang. How dare I? Just like you said, if they get angry and attack us, our small speedboat won't be able to withstand it. It won't just be me who will be in trouble. All the brothers on the boat will be killed!"
Mrs. Ho also said:
"Yes, Wen Zhao and his men are fighting for their lives on the front line. The pressure is very high. John Lao doesn't dare to go, and the marine police don't dare to go either. They just rely on my husband to lead the team. When he got up this afternoon, I saw that his pillow was covered with hair."
He Wenzhao laughed dryly twice.
I lose more hair on the front line!
Wang Yuanchao looked at He Wenzhao and said:
"Go out for a cigarette?"
Mrs. He quickly said virtuously:
"It's okay, you guys go ahead and smoke, I'm used to it."
He Wenzhao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and opened the door. Wang Yuanchao followed him and they both went out.
Mrs. He watched the two of them go out to smoke and felt a little puzzled:
"I told you it's okay."
Little black-faced Li Zhong couldn't help but say:
"Cousin, they had something to talk about, so they left on their own. From now on, when my cousin talks to others, you'd better... listen to him."
He originally wanted to say that you'd better not interrupt. If you were more self-aware, you should stay away and not eavesdrop.
When a man is talking, why should a woman interrupt him?
But his cousin's wife was his elder, so he couldn't be so impolite in his words and had to be more tactful.
My cousin raised her head and said:
"Why, are you still lecturing me? I feel bad for your cousin who has to travel outside every day and is under a lot of pressure. He's been away for almost a month. It's not easy for me, a woman, to be worried at home every day!"
Li Zhong's face darkened even more, and he said quickly:
"No no……"
I silently sympathized with my cousin in my heart. The wife he married looked good, but she was confused.
The room suddenly became quiet. My cousin's wife felt that her attitude just now was a little inappropriate. Maybe what Li Zhong said was right, but she was the elder, how could she admit her mistake to the younger generation? She had to change the subject:
"Do you have any girls you know? Do you want your cousin to introduce you to one?"
Li Zhong quickly shook his head, then nodded, thought for a while and shook his head again, and finally said:
"No, no, cousin, I have it, I have it!"
My cousin's wife laughed:
"You don't look that old, are you 20? You are really capable!"
Li Zhong laughed dryly twice, thinking of Shen Yue. They had been very close for the past few months. Shen Yue was very resistant at first. Li Zhong knew all her shameful deeds, and she felt that she could not face it.
However, Li Zhong felt that it was the men who were not capable of this. If Shen Yue followed them and Boss Wang was with them, there would definitely be no problem.
So, what did she do wrong?
Besides, those bad guys are all dead, would the bearded man say anything nonsense?
He himself is in a relationship with someone.
The women like the tough girls Shi Zhen and Shen Yue are all above average in appearance and can be said to be not ugly.
When you dress up a little, people will feel a little excited.
Especially Shi Zhen, who was beautiful and fierce, and was trusted and liked by Boss Wang. He and Big Beard were very conscious and did not have any intentions towards her.
But it is impossible not to develop feelings when we live together day and night.
He prefers Shen Yue because she is more educated and not bad looking.
A big beard is not acceptable, I just like those with good figures, too vulgar!
"Then bring him here sometime so that your cousin and I can help you take a look. You don't have any elders in Hong Kong, so your cousin and I are your closest parents."
What the cousin's wife said actually made a lot of sense, which made Li Zhong feel that he should bring the man over to show his cousin and his wife.
It was already dark when Wang Yuanchao and He Wenzhao came back.
Fortunately, it’s summer, so there’s no problem of the food getting cold.
He Wenzhao toasted Wang Yuanchao frequently, and Wang Yuanchao also toasted He Wenzhao and his wife. Anyway, the four of them drank happily, and both the host and the guests were very happy.
He Wenzhao's house was very small, only about 30 square meters, so Wang Yuanchao and Li Zhong had to sleep on the floor in the living room.
But the space was small, and even though there was a fan, it was still very hot.
Moreover, Wang Yuanchao was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared. Seeing Li Zhong sleeping like a pig next to him, he decided to go sleep in the car outside.
Unfortunately, the car had no air conditioning and was stuffy, so he simply went to the beach to take a bath. After all, whether he slept or not all night wouldn't have much of an impact on him.
He Wenzhao was in He Wenzhao's bedroom. He hadn't been home for a month. He drank some wine today and had sex with his wife a few times. Because there were guests in the living room, Mrs. He could only grit her teeth, but it was a different kind of feeling.
After finishing, He Wenzhao fell asleep immediately, leaving his wife who wanted to open the door but was worried about the guests outside. If she didn't open the door, the room would be stuffy. She tossed and turned, and she didn't know how long it was before she fell into a drowsy sleep.
Wang Yuanchao found a secluded corner and soaked in the sea water.
The sea water at night is still a little warm. I took out a bottle of iced cola from the space, which was really refreshing.
He took out a shriveled swimming ring, inflated it, put it around his neck, tied the butcher knife and the swimming ring with a rope, and inserted the butcher knife into the crack of the rock. In this way, he could float on the sea and take a nap without worrying about waking up and not knowing where he was.
Suddenly he heard someone talking, and he was startled. He immediately put away the swimming ring, rope and butcher knife, and slowly sank into the sea.
Then he bravely moved towards the source of the sound.
"Boss Lin, I heard that He Dare wants to be the boss of this police station?"
"Humph, he met a bunch of weaklings and let him take advantage of them."
"He's from 14K and he doesn't like us. What should we do? We rely on this business to make a little money. We can't even collect much protection money in this remote mountain area!"
"This is not 14K's territory. When the time comes, ask him if he wants to change his gang. Otherwise, there are many ways to embarrass him. If he really doesn't give face, the marine police can still fall into the water and die!"
"That's true, but he's so brave, I'm worried that the brothers may not dare to fight him. After all, there's no wrong nickname!"
"Muscle is strong, I think you should stop calling it muscle strong, call it cowardly strong, call it stupid strong!
Do we make a living by fighting and killing? We make a living by our brains!
If it weren't for the border war, business wouldn't be so bad recently!"
"Yes, yes. I just don't understand. They fought so bravely, why are they desperately running to Hong Kong?"
"Are those who fight and those who run away the same group of people? Those who fight are all very bold! Okay, time's up, flash the flashlight three times!"
Wang Yuanchao just watched their performance quietly on the side.
After three flashes of light, a speedboat rolled over the white waves, drawing a line on the dark sea. The sound of the waves and the wind covered up the sound of the motor.
The speedboat quickly approached and stopped at the beach.
People on the boat began to jump off the boat and go ashore with bags of all sizes.
People on the shore gathered together.
Then we saw the familiar scene of both sides counting heads and money.
Then they quickly dispersed.
After the speedboat left, someone was heard saying:
"Early tomorrow morning, follow our people and take a bus to the city. Those who have relatives will ask their relatives, and those who don't will help them register. It costs 200 yuan per person. If you don't have relatives and don't want to pay, then you can wait to be caught by the Hong Kong police and deported.
Okay, now don't talk and follow me!"
Then the crowd followed obediently and left.
Seeing such a big scene, Wang Yuanchao almost thought they were buying drugs, but it turned out they were smugglers.
But it seems that it is better than what he encountered when he first came here. After all, they are just earning the smuggling fees and hard-earned money.
That speedboat should belong to the water police, right?
The water police here are a bit low, personally participating in this kind of business?
Wang Yuanchao couldn't sleep at this moment, so he simply climbed out of the sea. The wind blew and it felt very cool.
He lay on the roof of the car, with his arms and legs spread out, looking at the stars and clouds in the sky. Boss Lin is very muscular, but I don't know if He Wenzhao knows these two.
He not only helped He Wenzhao to come up with ideas, but also helped him to gather intelligence. What a joke!
If He Wenzhao doesn't have complete control of this police station, it would be a shame for how devoted he has been!
