Chapter 760: Money or fame?
People like Lei Luo and Ge Bo are big shots who can call the shots in Jiang's place.
He is flattered everywhere in the upper class society, but is arrogant outside.
But when they saw Han Weimin, they were immediately impressed by his aura.
"Boss Han is indeed a young and promising man."
"To be honest, Kowloon Walled City has always been a thorn in our side. We have always wanted to uproot it, but it is difficult."
"Because the tornado also cost the Governor a lot of money, we can't do anything about the tornado."
"Now that the tornado is dead, all problems will be solved."
"I think what Mr. Han said about asking the Hong Kong government to pay is completely reasonable."
"As long as Kowloon Walled City can be brought under the jurisdiction, it will be the greatest political achievement of the Hong Kong government, so there is no need for Mr. Han to pay for it."
"But I'm afraid Boss Han can't afford such a huge construction fee."
"Superintendent Godber and I don't ask for much. Give us 20% each."
"You can keep 20% for yourself and use the remaining 40% for construction."
"For these common people, it's good enough to provide them with a place to live and food to eat. There's no need to be too picky."
Lei Luo is the kind of person who would take advantage of any money that passes through him. Whenever any money passes through him, he would always keep some of it.
Gerber also nodded in agreement.
"To be honest with you, Boss Han, I came here just to make money."
"As long as I can make enough money here, I will return home."
"I will retire right after I go back. I can live in my villa and enjoy delicious food and drinks. My family will also live a well-fed and well-clothed life."
"I am easily satisfied. I am not greedy."
"Once I get this reconstruction money, I can achieve financial freedom."
"But don't worry, I will definitely give you what you want."
These two people were extremely greedy. Han Weimin had expected this, but he did not expect their appetite to be so big.
If the budget is 1 billion, according to Lei Luo and Ge Bo, only 400 million will be used for people's livelihood construction.
This is fucking murder for money. The quality of a house built in that way cannot be good. It may rot or even collapse within two years.
But without the help of these two people, it would definitely not be completed.
So Han Weimin had to ask for more.
But the Governor of Hong Kong is not a fool. The most he can give you is 1 billion, and he will give you another 200 million.
Giving too much is impossible.
However, Han Weimin was not surprised. Instead, he asked the two men to sit down and discuss the matter slowly.
"Please take a seat, both of you."
"I am very happy that you two are so frank."
"When talking to smart people, just be simple and straightforward. Don't beat around the bush."
A beautiful girl was serving on the side, and the elegant music made everyone intoxicated.
Han Weimin asked with a smile.
"I understand what Superintendent Godber said. Don't worry, I will definitely meet your request."
"Let you live a good life and return home in glory."
“So I hope you two can help me put in some good words so that the Hong Kong government can invest more money.”
"To be honest, I don't need those two cars. The reason I defeated the tornado is to improve life here."
"I want to make this place a new scenic spot in Hong Kong."
"My current preliminary budget is 1 billion, which does not include other unexpected situations."
“Only with one billion dollars can we make Kowloon Walled City a livable place.”
"If something goes wrong? I'll pay for it myself."
"It's not accurate to say that I paid for it all myself, because Tornado has plundered a lot over the years. I will use all the money for construction and education."
"So if you two can ask for more money, I won't take a cent of it. How about you two split it equally?"
"I really want to do good things and do practical things."
"And I'm sure you two are well aware of your current reputations. The public is calling for you to die."
Lei Luo and Ge Bo's faces changed, and they even began to put their hands around their waists.
Lei Luo stared at Han Weimin with his eyes like an eagle.
"Boss Han, are you kidding us?"
"You're treating the Governor like a fool. Just give us as much as we want."
"Even if the budget is 1 billion, the Governor may only give you 600 million or 700 million. If he can give you 800 million, it would be good."
"The rest may be raised through donations from people from all walks of life."
"You asked us two to ask for more money. What do you think of us? Just errand boys."
"I'll help you get the funding approved, and then I'll help you register these unruly people."
"You don't give us any benefits, and let us fight for the benefits ourselves."
"Boss Han, your calculations are really shrewd."
Han Weimin remained unmoved because Lei Luo and Ge Bo had no chance to draw their guns at all.
If these two people make any rash moves, they will be captured by Bai Datong and Xiaozhuang.
Han Weimin moved his fingers, and the girl behind him understood what he meant and put her arms around Renault and Gerber's necks.
Han Weimin said.
"Have you ever thought about the issue of Kowloon Walled City being back under our jurisdiction?"
"This is a face-saving project for the Hong Kong government, and you are trying to make money from it."
"By then, if the Kowloon Walled City is a shoddy construction, something will go wrong and people will die."
"Then the Hong Kong government will lose face and will be boycotted and ridiculed by people from all walks of life."
“It even attracted international attention.”
"When the Hong Kong government investigates, you two will definitely try to pass the buck and put all the blame on me."
"You took the money and gained fame, but in the end you used me as a scapegoat. You are the ones who played with me."
Lei Luo's hand had slowly moved up from his waist, his expression had changed, and he spoke with a smile.
"Boss Han, what are you talking about?"
"I came here because I treat you as a brother. How could I possibly betray you?"
"When something goes wrong, you can say it's the fault of your engineers. Or you can push a scapegoat and you can still be the boss."
"We can continue to cooperate in the future. Isn't the purpose of life to make money?"
In order to ease the atmosphere, Ge Bo smiled and said a few more words.
"Boss Han, to put it bluntly, everyone is here to make money."
"Even though you say it in a high-sounding way, you do it for fame and you want to do good things."
"You do all this just to line your pockets and put the money in your own pocket."
"Don't worry, we won't push you out. If you ask us to get out, it will be very difficult for us to deal with it."
"So as long as the three of us are of one mind, we can make money and get away with it. Can't we just find a few more scapegoats then?"
"And it's not in vain that these scapegoats should be given resettlement allowances so that their families can live a good life."
"They lock him up for a few years, and then we find a way to get him out. Isn't that a happy ending for everyone?"
Han Weimin looked at these two shameless people and wanted to kill him immediately.
But obviously he can't do that yet, he still has to use the identities of these two people to help him do a lot of things.
"Gerber, I told you that I will prepare the money you need."
"Here, Chief Detective Lei, I believe you are not short of money at all. Your family has so much money that you don't even know how much you have, and you can never spend it all."
"So what you two need most right now is fame. In fact, I have already planned it, as long as you two are willing to help."
"I will definitely give you two some benefits. It's impossible to give you as much as you said. That's really exaggerated. That's killing people. That's doing something immoral."
"After the Kowloon Walled City is built, I will erect a monument of merit here, and your names will be at the front of the list."
"This will restore your reputation. A good reputation is the most important thing for you right now."
"If you are willing to agree, then let's drink this glass of wine and sign a cooperation agreement."
"If anyone is unwilling, then let's just pretend we have never met. How about I find a way to build Dragon City Walled City myself, or I can go directly to the Governor?"
Han Weimin's move was equivalent to an order to expel him, but he didn't tell him to get out, which was already very good.
Lei Luo and Ge Bai looked at each other, and both began to think about what Han Weimin said.
Look at the fierce enemies around, it is really difficult for them to get out of the underground palace.
I’m afraid if they don’t agree today, they won’t be able to get out at all.
Han Weimin was being polite. Only the person who could kill Tornado must be a cruel and ruthless person.
The two of them began to ponder what Han Weimin said.
If Han Weimin went directly to the Governor of Hong Kong, all the credit would go to the Governor and would have nothing to do with them.
As for Ge Bo, Han Weimin had already agreed to pay, so there was no need for him to worry about it.
After all, what Godber wanted was not much, just a sum of money to settle down and enjoy his life.
Han Weimin could just take out some from Tornado's treasure trove, which would be enough for Gerber.
The main problem now lies with Lei Luo.
Gerber now began to persuade.
"Captain Lei, you've made so much money over the years that you'll never be able to spend it all in your next lifetime."
"So I think what Boss Han said is right. What you need now is a good reputation."
"Otherwise, when you leave this position as inspector, I'm afraid you will die miserably."
"You are not short of money, so you can do some good things, and you can also make a good friend like Boss Han."
After weighing the pros and cons, Lei Luo finally nodded and signed the cooperation agreement, and the matter was settled.
Han Weimin held Lei Luo's hand.
"Inspector Lei, you really didn't let me down."
"Although I can't give you money, I can give you other good things."
"Keep these two paintings. I can tell you that they will appreciate tenfold in value within ten years."
"Of course you are not short of money. You can treat it as a family heirloom and pass it down from generation to generation."
This is a painting by Qi Baishi that Han Weimin bought for dozens of dollars. Although it has little value now, its value will rise steadily in the future.
