Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 212 "212" wins the bid, demolition of the walled city begins

The political department personnel returned to their headquarters and then told Richard about Hong Ye's death.

Richard, resting his chin on his hand, asked, "Are you sure?"

“Of course we can confirm it, sir!” a foreigner from the political department said unhappily. “That bastard didn’t even change the gun and bullets he used last time!”

Richard nodded: "It seems that Lin Yao really doesn't like Happy Powder!"

"We all thought we were going to succeed, but the Major Crimes Unit intervened and now the goods and money have all been confiscated!" The foreigner immediately became agitated.

After all, their political department, like the CIA in the United States, has to raise most of its own funds.

So these spies and intelligence organizations...

They often also serve as drug lords, helping the organization raise funds.

Therefore, he took this matter very seriously. For the sake of the "happy powder" and cash in Master Hong's hands, he even went so far as to draw his gun and confront the Serious Crimes Unit.

Richard angrily berated all the foreigners, then said coldly, "Are you idiots? Don't you know you can just have them take the money back after it's deposited? What if they complain about this?"

The foreigners fell silent after being scolded, looking quite resentful.

Richard didn't say anything more, but asked casually, "How much laundry detergent is there in total, including the one stored in the government affairs department last time?"

“It looks like it’s almost three tons!” a foreigner said to Richard.

Despite their special status, they still needed the help of local gangsters to distribute their goods.

So they've had plenty of cases of people being arrested and having their "happy powder" confiscated by the police.

Some people were even targeted by the anti-drug squad long ago, and were arrested by the police as soon as they stepped out.

They didn't have a better solution.

The plan was simply to collect these "happy powders" in the police station's warehouse, destroy them periodically, and then intercept them en route to take them away in one go.

Richard already had a plan. He told his men, "Let's not cause any more trouble for now. I'll have someone bring the goods back! You guys better watch out!"

"Understood, boss!" The subordinate, knowing he was in the wrong, could only reply.

……

A few days later, the government held a bidding meeting.

Lin Yao's Huamao Group engaged in bid rigging and ultimately won the bid.

They obtained the contract for the Kowloon Walled City demolition project directly from the government.

Many people in the industry are watching this project with bated breath.

I'm planning to see how Lin Yao, this young man who's just started out in the industry, gets ripped off by the Englishmen's "Conquer" program and goes bankrupt.

However, Lin Yao didn't hold back. Now that he had won the bid, he immediately began demolishing the walled city. This area of ​​the outer buildings of Kowloon Walled City was the simplest to demolish.

The construction company under his command has already sent people to Kowloon Walled City to carry out planning. After discussing with the Citizens Party and Guo Shirong, Lin Yao led his people to conduct the next round of negotiations with Ah Qiu.

The negotiations went smoothly. Although A Qiu remained fixated on Chen Luojun, time was running out, and the land that needed to be sold still had to be sold.

Moreover, it wasn't just Ah Qiu; there were more than a dozen landlords of varying sizes in Kowloon Walled City.

Ah Qiu is just the biggest one among them.

The government has allocated HK$3.2 billion for the demolition of Kowloon Walled City.

Meanwhile, Lin Yao and Guo Shirong pooled together nearly 4 billion yuan to buy the land from landlords like A Qiu.

On the day the final agreement was reached, they simply threw out a huge amount of money.

After purchasing the land, the remaining issue was compensation within Kowloon Walled City.

Getting these people to move out is not easy, as Kowloon Walled City is known as the most densely populated area in the world.

Moreover, many of these houses were simply made by adding corrugated iron sheets to the roof.

This approach has made the issue of compensation quite complicated.

However, Lin Yao had already made preparations and had discussed with Tornado the compensation for these people.

Finally, the houses of these residents of Kowloon Walled City were expropriated at a price of HK$200,000 per household.

Fortunately, this doesn't require a one-time payment, and the government provides the funds.

So the process has been progressing quite smoothly.

Guo Shirong and Lin Yao still have a lot of housing estate quotas under their control; they can provide money or housing as needed.

In this way, the demolition work can proceed normally.

Some members of the Walled City Security Committee even helped Lin Yao and Guo Shirong's construction company with demolition work.

The construction site instantly became lively as workers entered and began demolition.

Of course, there were also die-hards in the walled city who were determined to destroy the construction.

They were all "persuaded" by Xin Yi and his men, and soon they became obedient.

"Damn it, this job is inhuman!" Xin Yi complained to Lin Yao.

Lin Yao spread his hands and said, "There's nothing we can do. We'd already made a decision a long time ago. We had them negotiate compensation, and it was settled. There's no reason for us to obstruct construction now!"
