Three days later.

At the Texaco Oil Company in Hong Kong, Vice President "Henry" was arrested on suspicion of taking bribes and smuggling red oil.

ICAC Investigation Director Fang Youping led his team to Texaco Petroleum Company to conduct a long-term investigation into the red oil smuggling case.

The news caused a stir in the media. The word "oil tiger" appeared in the newspapers. Some people claimed that the British Hong Kong government's oil policy to benefit Hong Kong was completely taken advantage of by the mainland.

This clue was provided to the ICAC by Assistant Investigation Director "Ki Mi Tsai", and the whistleblower was a middle-level manager of the oil company.

That night.

Zhang Guobin received a call from Boss Shen. Boss Shen smiled on the phone and said: "Sheng Zhang, don't be so angry. Please forgive me for what happened last time."

"I will apologize to you in person next time when I return to Xiangjiang. Business must still be done."

After hesitating for a while, Shen Xin decisively gave in and admitted failure, because suspending the oil business was very fatal to him.

This is not about how much more money he makes, but because his biggest economic contribution to the mainland is gone. If he really runs out of oil, whatever happens in the future, the political backers behind him may not be able to protect him.

However, Zhang Guobin just made less money and asked the brothers to stop working for a while to calm down!

Zhang Guobin smoked a cigarette and said with a smile: "Boss Shen said whatever he said, things will go with the wind as they pass. Who can have trouble with money?"

"Henry of Texaco is being targeted by the ICAC, but no one knows about it. Now that he's in trouble, I'm in trouble too!"

Shen Xin laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Zhang Sheng is joking, who in Hong Kong doesn't know that Lian Ji is your dog, he can catch whoever you ask him to catch."

"In this way, I will cut off 10% of the oil in the next two years and give you 10% of the profit. I hope it can help open up the joints quickly."

Zhang Guobin sighed: "I am a yellow-skinned Chinese, but I am a third-class person in Xiangjiang. I can control the sky and the earth, but I can't control the white-skinned ghost guy's dog!"

"You don't even know who Lao Lian reports to."

"I can only do my best on this matter, and I will let you know when there is news."

Snap.

He hung up the phone.

Shen Xin looked gloomy and lowered the phone with a bad look on his face.

Chu Huai's eyes glowed fiercely, he took a step closer and lowered his voice: "Brother."

"Zhang Guobin refuses to agree to help?"

Shen Xin lowered his head, rubbed his temples with both hands, and sighed: "Alas."

"What a show of force!"

Chu Huai said hurriedly: "I am responsible for the red oil business. Now I am taking people across the sea to Xiangjiang. Whether it is to find the ICAC or Zhang Guobin, I will definitely transport the oil over again."

Shen Xin said calmly: "Don't mess up the situation."

"The more we do now, the more mistakes we make, the more chaos and trouble we get, steady!"

"Stay patient and wait!"

Chu Huai exhaled a foul breath and shouted, "Waiting again?"

"If we wait for everything, people's hearts will be scattered. What will our brothers think of us?"

Shen Xin raised his head and glanced at him: "There is still enough oil in the warehouse to last for a while. Zhang Guobin cannot be without oil for too long, otherwise his brothers will not have anything to eat."

"This move kills one thousand enemies and damages oneself eight hundred. It's because we underestimate that we don't have as many chips as he does, and we don't have the strength. If we go to him now, even if the negotiation is successful, we have to give up another profit."

"Since we have to give up profits in the end, why not wait? When he can't hold on, we can lose less."

Chu Huai clenched his fists and said something from between his teeth: "It's too much to bully others. I will kill them in the future!"

"You ask Jiang Cheng to come in."

Shen Xin waved his hand: "I'll tell him something."

…

A restaurant with integrity.

With his back to a screen, Zhang Guobin, wearing a suit and holding his teeth open, said loudly: "That's what happened. We cooperated with the mainland public security law enforcement to arrest their people in Xiangjiang."

Cai Jinping was directly dressed in the uniform of Brother No. 1, with a majestic appearance. He put his police hat on the table. After eating and drinking, he put down his chopsticks and agreed with a smile: "The matter can be left to the security department."

"It just doesn't sound like there's anything going on."

Zhang Guobin said with a smile: "If I have a boss, I'll come to you directly. Why rely on me to have another connection? To put it bluntly, this is just doing free work for the mainland."

Cai Jinping smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It doesn't have to sound so ugly. Everyone is involved in politics, and favors are sometimes rare."

Zhang Guobin threw away his toothpick and simply said: "The big boss won't pay you a salary, so why not earn it yourself? Investigate for a while and choose a suitable opportunity to take over the transfer station."

"I believe the harvest is not small."

Cai Jinping nodded slightly: "If we can cooperate with the mainland to seize a large number of drugs, and then crack down on the largest drug factory in East Asia, it will be considered a major case since taking office, and my resume will be much better."

Sir Tsai is still young, and there is no problem in working for another ten years. It is too early to regard "First Brother" as the end of his political career. He still has to consider his governing record to pave the way for the future.

Hug the right thigh.

I didn't dare to think about being the first brother before, but now that I am the first brother, I feel that it is just like that, and I can also explore the higher steps ahead.

Zhang Guobin nodded in approval: "Yes."

"No matter how good the internal rectification is, you still have to show your fists and let the outside world know your iron fist." There is no future for being a gentle and gentle officer in the violence department.

The public likes hard-liners in the violent sector and big chess players in the civilian sector. That's the stereotype.

Cai Jinping has been riddled with corpses along the way. He is indeed a hawk among hardliners, but outsiders don't know it.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll go back home to rest first." Cai Jinping raised his watch and took a look at it, stood up, picked up his police hat and straightened it, and said with a smile: "If I go back late, I will be beaten by my wife."

"Hahaha, Brother 1 is also afraid of his wife? If this spreads, it will definitely make headlines. Okay, I'll take you down." Zhang Guobin stood up and shook hands with him, then sent him downstairs and watched the No. 1 car drive away.

…

The next day.

afternoon.

Hong Kong stocks close.

Cao Renchao, the person in charge of Guobin Securities and the stock god, came to the group building to report to his boss.

"Sheng Zhang, 15% of China-Brazil stock 00026 has been acquired. In the past week, three capital companies have entered the market one after another, sweeping the market."

"Among them, Boss Zheng of New World Development is the one who is the most aggressive in purchasing goods. If he continues to collect goods, the cost will increase by about 30 million. Will you ask Boss Zheng to give me some face?"

Zhang Guobin was not surprised when he heard this, nodded and said: "Okay."

"I'll make an appointment with Boss Zheng to have a chat."

In the evening, he took a bus to the office building at No. 38 New World Tower, No. 29 Queen's Road Central.

This building is where Zheng Yutong's office is located. The secretarial department received the visit notice and prepared the reception room early.

As soon as Zhang Guobin picked up the teacup, Zheng Yutong appeared in the corridor, raising her hand in a naive manner: "Director Zhang!"

"Director Zheng!"

Zhang Guobin nodded.

Zheng Yutong sat down and went straight to the topic without talking nonsense: "Dr. Zhang is a shareholder of New World Development. It's his first time coming back to New World Tower. There's nothing he can't do without going to the Three Treasures Hall."

"You must have come to me to discuss the acquisition of China-Brazil, right?"

Zhang Guobin said with a smile: "Director Zheng hit the right guess!"

"In this case, I won't hide it. I am willing to purchase all the shares held by Director Zheng at a price that is 50 cents higher than the market price."

Zheng Yutong was noncommittal: "The price is not bad, but why did Zhang Sheng suddenly want to do the bus business?"

Zhang Guobin relaxed his shoulders: "You can make whatever money you have."

"I have too many brothers to support, and I can't let go."

Today, Zhang Guobin came to ask Boss Zheng to sell face. Boss Zheng did not ask him to sell face. Because Zhang Guobin's appearance represents the determination of Yihai Group, and asking the other party to sell face again is not just asking for a beating.

?

Zheng Yutong laughed and said: "I heard from my people that Guobin Securities started to sweep goods, and I knew that Director Zhang was targeting CMB."

“I don’t know how Director Zhang plans to run CMB.”

Zhang Guobin said: "There are three simple steps. The first step is to adjust the operating lines, add MTR connection lines, and connect the places where the subways are not connected. The second step is to replace them with new cars one after another, which are air-conditioned and more fuel-efficient. The third step is to

Three moves to acquire Citybus and unify public transportation on Hong Kong Island.”

The subway is convenient, but the fares are higher and the lines are single. Xiangjiang Bus still has a large market. The dilemma of China Bus Group lies in management issues.

If a company has management problems, it may not necessarily fail, but if it has management problems and is impacted by the market, problems will definitely break out.

Zheng Yutong nodded: "It seems that Director Zhang has made full preparations and is determined to run the bus company, but the core contradiction between China and Pakistan is not so easy to resolve."

"Are you talking about workers' contradictions?" Zhang Guobin sighed and said frankly: "This contradiction is a contradiction to you, but it's nothing to me."

This is the big contradiction that really brought down China and Pakistan.
