Chapter 1032: If you want to punish the bad guys, you must be worse than the bad guys.
After taking office at the headquarters, many things that need to be handled are different from those at the grassroots level. Meetings are completely inevitable.
Wang Yaozu couldn't help but take the opportunity to call everyone for a meeting.
There is no way, this kind of action cannot be handled by one department or two department.
In the conference room, Wang Yaozu sat in the main seat, beside him, the Commercial Crime Investigation Section, Criminal Intelligence Section, Organized Crime and Triad Investigation Section, Criminal Support Section, and the Superintendent-level and above personnel from the Criminal Department Headquarters arrived.
"I don't like to procrastinate in meetings, just say something."
If the superiors have something to do, the subordinates will have the greatest advantage. What style does the leader and what style does the subordinates do? If Wang Yaozu wants to turn the criminal department into his own appearance, he must reveal his own things as soon as possible.
"Today we will talk about tobacco smuggling, and take out all the tobacco smuggling cases involved in your departments to summarize them."
"Start from the community."
The chief police officer of the Organized Crime and Triad Investigation Section twitched his lips, saying that we are not a club, we are responsible for the club!
"Every large associations basically participate in tobacco smuggling. Take Heshenghe as an example. They smuggle a large number of mainland cigarettes from the mainland every year into the Hong Kong Island market. Dongxing comes from the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand. There are also some other small associations, but they are just piecemeals, and that's too much." He didn't say anything about Hong Xing. Who doesn't know that Chen Yaoqing, who is the most popular in Hong Xing, is Wang Yaozu's man, wants to know what news or phone number.
"Why haven't you heard of the police smuggling tobacco in these communities? According to the information I got from above, the profits are very high?" Wang Yaozu asked directly. This was something he didn't understand. It seemed that in his impression that compared to the larger tobacco smuggling market, the communities pay more attention to the poison market.
It's very strange.
“The profit is actually not big.”
“How to say it?”
"It is precisely because the tobacco tax is too high. Any pack of the cheapest cigarette costs more than 50 yuan. Better, it costs more than 80 yuan to buy through regular channels and more than 100 yuan per pack. Those smuggled cigarettes are sold in street shops and alleys. The actual price is much cheaper than those sold in regular shops. Just say, a pack of cigarettes worth 50 yuan per pack. In fact, the tax is nearly 40 yuan. The price is this price for buying regular shops. However, those who sell cigarettes on the street stalls only have more than 20 yuan. The difference of 30 yuan is actually a concession to the buyer and does not make much money."
"That is to say, people buy smuggled cigarettes for cheapness. In fact, the profit of smuggled cigarettes is not that big. The Hong Kong government has lost 10 billion in taxes. Perhaps smuggled cigarettes can actually bring half of the benefits to people on this line, or less." Wang Yaozu suddenly remembered the way he had seen the same way as the old Shanghai roadside, with a wooden box filled with cigarettes, and holding or squatting on the street to sell.
"Yes, the cost of cigarettes, transportation, opening up smuggling joints, warehousing, and distribution layer by layer to the hands of the people selling cigarettes on the street. There is definitely no 10 billion reported by the tax bureau."
"Okay, since there is news, I will catch it. I want to see the results." Wang Yaozu waved his hand.
"This may cause chaos. Cigarettes are an important source of income for large societies."
"Crazy?" Wang Yaozu's eyes stern, "What a fucking mess? Who dares to cause trouble for me? I will give him no chance to mess with me in this life!"
"Tell a big club, this is what I, Wang Yaozu, said!"
"Okay, Brother Yao, I understand."
"Who elsewhere has cases related to tobacco smuggling?" Wang Yaozu asked again.
"There is a case related to tobacco smuggling in the Commercial Crime Investigation Department." Liu Baoqiang raised his hand and said.
Seeing Wang Yaozu signaling, Liu Baoqiang began to say: "We have been chasing Lida Trading Group. This group is engaged in import and export of tobacco. We have been chasing them for a long time. We seriously suspect that this company has been exporting to domestic sales after tax refunds from customs."
"Oh, is this company big?" Wang Yaozu became interested. The club was a problem. It was a problem. Once it was done, it would cause trouble. The nature of this company was very good, and he was sure to grasp it tightly.
"It's very big, the second largest tobacco import and export company in Hong Kong." Liu Baoqiang nodded and said.
"That's him." Wang Yaozu made the decision directly, and put all the focus of his work during this period on this company. He must take it down and give an explanation to the above.
As for the club, it is at most a blow to make them lose some manpower and property. It will not take long to recover as before. After all, clubs are the foundation. As long as the clubs are still there, these black industries will definitely be there.
Everyone knows this.
"Tell me, what difficulties are you facing now?"
"The biggest difficulty is not being able to catch evidence." Liu Baoqiang smiled bitterly.
In fact, Liu Baoqiang and the others have guessed the other party's smuggling method, and they are likely to use stolen poles. The container reported is tobacco for export, but in fact it is not. As for what is contained in it and what is handled after going to sea, it is actually not important. The original tobacco was not exported, so it naturally turned into black smoke and flowed directly into the local market.
As for the large amount of funds that are cashed in after flowing into the local area, they only need to flow into foreign countries through the foreign exchange market and then remitted from abroad in the name of overseas companies. This money is theoretically profitable from exporting cigarettes, which is completely reasonable and legal.
Of course, how to distribute the extra profits is not something Liu Baoqiang could guess.
"Have you checked their containers?" Wang Yaozu asked with a frown.
"I checked it once, but I didn't get anything. Not every time I exported tobacco, it's impossible for us to apply for a search warrant every time before we know the rules. And even if we find it empty, it doesn't matter. As long as we haven't left the customs, it doesn't constitute an illegal act. At worst, we can just fill in the tobacco." Liu Baoqiang said with a depressed look on his face: "As for funding, we can only check Hong Kong Island, without asking any questions. If there is any problem, it's still abroad, but we don't have the right. Apart from the sea, it's even more impossible for our rights to move."
"Haha, you are still too gentle. Give me all the information of this company and I'll see." Wang Yaozu snorted and took a document and started to look at it. The conference room fell into silence for a moment, leaving only the sound of rustling rust documents.
After a while, Wang Yaozu paused his fingers, suddenly turned back the previous two pages and looked again, then looked up and asked: "Is this legal person of Lida Trade Group Chen Chaoqun a puppet?"
"Yes, Chen Chaoqun doesn't care about Lida's affairs. It is likely that something happened to be used to push the tank." Liu Baoqiang was stunned for a moment and agreed.
"Then it's him!" Wang Yaozu slapped the document on the desktop, "The fortress will be broken from him!"
"How to break it?" Liu Baoqiang's face flashed with excitement, and he knew that Brother Yao had a solution.
"You don't have to worry about this, wait. In a few days, he will go to find you who surrendered himself and hope to be a tainted witness to the police." Wang Yaozu's mouth twitched a strange smile.
Lu Xun once said that if you want to punish bad people, you must be worse than bad people.
Wang Yaozu thought this was right!
