Chapter 1052 : I'll see if you kill one!
Life is priceless and so on. When it is really necessary, there must be a price standard for measuring it.
Kindness does not control the army, softness does not rule.
This does not involve the question of whether it is cold-blooded. This is a real problem. It cannot be fooled by any priceless life.
Hong Kong Island has only more than 160 billion yuan in profits and taxes per year, and it also has to bear a large amount of government official expenses, military expenses of the British troops stationed in Hong Kong, etc., so there is no money to bear a loss of over 100 billion yuan. Therefore, ensuring tunnel safety must be put first.
This is called protecting the safety of people's public property, and protecting the safety of people's lives is a horizontal line of agreement!
So, there is nothing wrong with it!
As Zhuo Jingquan and his friends expected, the Governor's Office was also holding a meeting. After professionals estimated the general loss, there was almost no objection. The Hong Kong government made an unanimous decision that there must be no problems in the Hung Hom Tunnel and that the explosion must not occur in the tunnel.
Then the rest is the repurchase issue.
The West District Undersea Tunnel was built the latest, but compared with the earliest Hung Hom Tunnel and the later East District Tunnel, the West District Tunnel had the best hardware conditions, so the charge was also the highest, and the charging standard was more than three times that of Hung Hom and East District. It was called the Rich Tunnel by Hong Kong Islanders.
Of course, because it is expensive, compared to the slow traffic jams, the Hung Hom Underwater Tunnel and the East District Underwater Tunnel, the West District is unobstructed all day long, which is the most convenient.
However, compared with the designed daily pass volume of 180,000, the actual daily pass vehicle is only about 28,000, and it is currently operating at an extremely low load. Of course, it will not lose money, but the profit is far lower than the expected target.
Currently, the three major shareholders of Xitun Company are Hong Kongtong Holdings holding 40% of the company's shares, CITIC Pacific Holdings hold 20% of the shares, and Jiali Construction Holdings hold 20%. Yan Guorong, chairman of Jiali Construction, as the major shareholder, actually knows the easiest way to solve the problem, that is, reduce the price.
But here comes a problem. After all, undersea tunnels are considered to be a part of public assets or public transportation to a certain extent. It is really easy to reduce prices and difficult to increase prices.
In this regard, 30 years ago, Tianxing Small Roller was preparing to rise from 2 to 5 cents, which caused a major riot, which shows how serious the consequences of this traffic charge price increase involving the crossing of Victoria Harbor are.
The current sharp price reduction will allow West Tunnel Company to quickly reach the profit standard. However, for a tunnel that can operate for decades, it is known that the charging standards of Hung Hom Tunnel have not been increased since the future revenue will decline in a geometric multiple, which will be a devastating blow to the company's long-term profit, which is absolutely not allowed by the other two companies.
Jiali Construction faced the dilemma of shortage of funds due to some reasons. At this time, the other two companies were not only not ready to lend a helping hand, but also were also preparing to bite a piece of meat from Jiali Construction. In response, Yan Guorong stomped his feet and came up with such a side-by-side solution.
Half an hour later, just when Wang Yaozu and the others were waiting a little impatient, the Governor's Office finally called and instructed that there were only three. First, the bombs must not explode, causing structural risks to the undersea tunnel.
Second, the repurchase issue will be communicated with the West Tunnel Company, but it takes time. Be sure to stabilize the gangsters and not act too aggressively.
Third, the police must make plans and prepare for the strong attack at any time.
"Haha, what do you think the Hong Kong government means?" After hanging up the phone, Wang Yaozu looked at Zhuo Jingquan.
"Put it down." Zhuo Jingquan murmured in a low voice, "These bandits were obviously found by shareholders of Xitun Company. They obviously had premeditated them. In any case, this matter could not be hidden. If something really happened, the Hong Kong government would have to bear the greatest pressure. After all, the Hong Kong government does not want to pay money, so it is necessary to make the gesture. The negotiations can be unsuccessful, but it must work hard."
"I think so, hehe." Wang Yaozu sneered.
"What should we do now?" Zhuo Jingquan looked at Wang Yaozu and asked, "I still have to fight sooner or later, and I have to prepare early. That's a ton of C4, so I must not give them a chance to detonate."
"It's not that easy to detonate." Wang Yaozu shook his head with certainty and said, "After all, they came out to seek wealth, not death, they really detonate, and they will die at that time. Just kidding, really think they are crazy. Even if Hong Jipeng wants to go crazy, will others be willing?"
"Well, this is the same." Zhuo Jingquan felt much more at ease when Wang Yaozu said this, "but those C4s are still a huge hidden danger."
"It's useless to say these things now, let's talk about them then." Wang Yaozu shook his head. He was not a god, so he could think of how to deal with it in an instant.
Just as he was saying this, Zhuo Jingquan's assistant ran over quickly with an eager look on his face, and handed over a cell phone near the front and back, "Director, the criminal's phone number."
Zhuo Jingquan looked at Wang Yaozu and signaled him to answer.
Wang Yaozu was not polite, and reached out and took it directly, put it in his ear and said loudly: "What is a criminal? Can he speak? He has a name, Hong Jipeng."
"Don't open your mouth and shut up the criminals!"
"What's wrong with the criminals? Have you eaten your rice?"
"Learn to respect people when speaking!"
"I warn you, no next time!" Wang Yaozu said seriously, but his face was full of smiles.
Zhuo Jingquan rolled his eyes when he saw it. No matter how serious the matter is, this guy can give him a complete atmosphere.
On the other end of the phone, Hong Jipeng was stunned. Although he knew that Wang Yaozu was saying this for him, he was still very happy.
Of course, it will be happy if someone flatters, especially when this flatterer was one of the top ten richest people in Hong Kong, the famous Wang Yaozu.
It really makes Hong Jipeng unable to even get angry.
"Okay, Wang Lir, let's talk about the serious business. What's the conditions I have put forward? It's time to give me a reply." The anger that had been brewing for a long time was destroyed by Wang Yaozu's words, and Hong Jipeng's tone obviously softened.
"Answer? Where can I get any answers!"
"What?" Hong Jipeng became anxious, "No, Wang Yaozu, what do you mean? Do you think I really dare not kill the hostages!"
"You don't want to kill hostages day by day. No, who are you scaring?" Wang Yaozu turned his face and became angry, "Come on, come on, kill one of you and see!"
It was fine just now, but as he spoke, he became angry. Zhuo Jingquan was confused when he heard this. Seeing that the situation had changed, he hurriedly reached out to stop him, but in the end he was still a step slower. Wang Yaozu hung up the phone with a click.
Zhuo Jingquan:???
Hong Jipeng:???
Listening to the busy voice on the phone, Hong Jipeng looked confused, "I'm fucking... No, you'll get angry whenever I say anything, and just hang up my phone directly. It's me who's angry!
Who is the robber?
