Chapter 490 Someone came to collect the land fee
The three of them arrived at Director Yang's house. Director Yang's wife had already received a call from her husband, so she went to the kitchen and started to get busy.

However, her cooking skills are just like home cooking, but she is particularly willing to use oil, salt, soy sauce, MSG and seasonings.

Food cooked with lots of oil and spices like this smells delicious.

However, in this day and age, how many households are willing to add seasonings when cooking?

As soon as Su Mingzhe entered the door, he smelled the fragrance from the kitchen, picked up his apron very skillfully, and said with a smile:

"Aunt, next time we come, I will just cook. If you take my job again, I will have to bring gifts next time I come."

"Kid, I only made two of my specialties, but I still have to rely on you for the finale."

Director Yang's wife smiled and gave up the power of chef, then looked at Zheng Juan and Wang Yafang and asked in surprise: "Xiao Su, which of these two girls is your partner?"

"These are my girlfriends Zheng Juan and Juanzi, and these are Wang Yafang and Fangfang."

"Juanzi, Fangfang, come, let's go to the living room to have tea. Xiao Su will be in charge of the kitchen."

Seeing that Zheng Juan wanted to roll up her sleeves and go into the kitchen to help, Director Yang quickly pulled her into the living room.

She and Director Yang treated Su Mingzhe as their nephew and were used to seeing Su Mingzhe go into the kitchen to cook for their family.

However, this was Zheng Juan and Wang Yafang’s first time visiting, so we definitely couldn’t let them cook.

It was almost six o'clock when Su Mingzhe had prepared a table full of delicious dishes before Director Yang finally arrived.

Director Yang washed his hands and asked everyone to sit at the table: "Today we welcome Juanzi to settle in Mulan County. Wife, go open a bottle of red wine."

"Row."

Director Yang's wife asked Wang Yafang and Zheng Juan to sit down, and she went to get the wine with a smile on her face.

Normally, when the Yang family entertains people at a banquet, they always drink white wine and rarely red wine.

There is an old saying, 'No wine, no feast'.

When Chinese people invite others to dinner and drinks, even if they are two strangers, after a meal and a drink, they can be called friends.

Wang Yafang was not a bad person by nature, and her original hostility towards Zheng Juan slowly began to dissipate after she drank a few glasses of wine.

Just as the five people were having a great time, drinking, eating and singing, the incarnation of Hong Kong brought some not-so-good news.

Someone came to the company to collect the land fee!

The land fee is also called protection fee.

It has become a common thing for businesses in Hong Kong, big or small, to be charged land fees.

Su Mingzhe kept buying properties in Hong Kong. In order to manage the rental of these properties, he also opened a Jinlong property management company to specifically manage the properties under his name.

It stands to reason that "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". Since Su Mingzhe is doing business in Hong Kong, he should follow the crowd and pay some land fees to the local gangs.

However, because all of Su Mingzhe's properties were bought by Zhu Youzai as a middleman, those community leaders were unsure of Su Mingzhe's background and backers, so they never came to collect the land transfer fees.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed.

A few days ago, we celebrated New Year’s Day.

The beginning of the new year is also the time to settle accounts at the end of the year.

Zhuyouzai checked the accounts with several community groups and found that Su Mingzhe's Jinlong Property Management Company had not paid the land transfer fee, so he immediately asked what was going on.

Several big guys expressed their concerns, but unexpectedly, the bastard Zhuyouzai said on the spot that he and "Ye Song" were just casual acquaintances and had no relationship, and everyone should just handle the matter impartially.

Zhuyouzai's statement was like a shot of adrenaline to these groups.

In the past few months, Su Mingzhe has purchased more than 20 properties and thousands of street shops.

The properties and shops are all located in prosperous areas, with a market value of over one billion yuan and an annual rent of up to tens of millions.

If the rules for collecting land fees are followed, these associations can collect at least nearly one million in land fees from Su Mingzhe's property company.

Therefore, after these community leaders received Zhuyouzai's statement, they sorted out their account books and ran to the property company in a rage to demand the land transfer fee.

If it is just a small amount of money, for example, a company like Guo's Sun Hung Kai, giving a few hundred thousand as a token of appreciation, Su Mingzhe's incarnation would be too lazy to bother and just pay some money to send them off.

As a result, I don’t know what these associations were thinking, but they asked for five million right away.

Currently, there is no such number in Jinlong Property’s general ledger.

Since there is nothing else to befriend, Su Mingzhe is not going to indulge them.

He directly instructed the secretary to notify these societies and asked them to wait two or three days before coming back.

These gang leaders thought that Ye Song wanted to ask Zhu Youzai for mercy, so they didn't make it difficult for him. They just said a few harsh words and turned away.

Su Mingzhe returned to Hong Kong overnight to deal with the matter.

The next day, when Su Mingzhe entered the company, his female secretary Linda ran over nervously:

"Boss, more than a dozen real estate companies called us today and said they were interested in our property and asked if we were interested in buying it."

When Su Mingzhe heard this, he knew that those who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to buy his property were all people who were trying to take advantage of his misfortune. He was not in a hurry and came to his boss chair calmly. Then he asked:
“What companies are there?”

"There are Hengji, Bilian, Lanjiang..."

Linda listed more than a dozen companies at once according to their sizes.

"Do we usually have dealings with these companies?"

Su Mingzhe absorbed the avatar's memory and knew that these dozen companies were all backed by bigwigs in the police station.

For example, the person behind Hang Lung’s backing is the foreigner Ge Bai.

Bilian’s backer is Xu Legong.

The person behind Lan Jiang is Lin Gang.

……

Logically speaking, if you want to take advantage of someone's misfortune, you must be able to get accurate information in advance.

These companies all have backgrounds of big bosses in the police station, so Su Mingzhe can easily guess that the one who wants to get his company must be a big boss in the police station.

If you can't withstand this wave of attacks, there will be a second wave, and even a third and fourth wave, until these guys swallow up all your property.

Su Mingzhe has been in so many worlds and planes, and has seen too many things like this.

Generally speaking, when you encounter this kind of thing, you only need to do two things.

The first thing is to show your muscles.

The second thing is to chop off the hand of whoever stretches out his hand.

"Okay, I know about this. If you get another call, just reject it and say that we have a lot of money and we don't even consider selling the property."

After Su Mingzhe gave instructions to his female secretary, he asked her to go out and make phone calls to reject those companies.

After those companies got the news, they all called their own backstage to report the matter.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but these big guys were meeting in the police station to discuss the issue of "fees" for the new year.

The original meaning of "fees and charges" refers to the various fees collected by the government from all sectors of society, which are reasonable and legal income.

However, the "fees" that everyone is talking about today are actually the "land fees" collected by Zhuyouzai, or called "protection fees."

As Hong Kong's economic development situation gets better and better, annual fees are also being raised.

As the one who made the "fees", Xu Legong also had to work with others to come up with a proper and reasonable plan for this matter. At this time, he received a report from his subordinates that Jinlong Property refused to sell the property. Xu Legong was the first to feel embarrassed and slapped the table:
"Get rid of your mother, a big-time gangster who came to Hong Kong to hang out, and doesn't know the rules at all!"

The other police chiefs didn't know the reason yet, so they turned their eyes to Xu Legong.

Xu Legong did not hide anything and directly told them that Su Mingzhe wanted to be an iron-headed doll, and then asked the other Chinese detectives:

"Who's going to take care of him?"

Today's meeting is a high-level meeting. Apart from some foreigners, there are only four Chinese people.

In addition to Xu Legong, the other three Chinese chief inspectors are Lin Gang, Wang Tong and Yan Tong.

The three of them looked at each other.

Finally, Yan Tong raised his hand and said:

"Golden Dragon Property Management Company is located in West Kowloon. That's my territory. I'll take care of this matter."

"Then I'll have to trouble Sir Yan with this matter."

As the head of the four Chinese chief detectives, it is impossible for Xu Legong to do everything himself.

According to the rule of "whoever owns the area is responsible for it", this matter should have been solved by Yan Tong.

Yan Tong also wanted to establish his authority, so he didn't waste any time and called the gang leader who had joined him as soon as he got out of the house: "Hey, Boss Zhu, I have something here that you need to handle... It's the Jinlong Property Management Company... You can handle it... That's it."

After Yan Tong called the leader of the community, he thought for a while and then called the fire department, health department and other government agencies in Kowloon, asking them to send people to the properties under the name of Jinlong Property to join in the fun.

If I don't create some trouble, how can I have the nerve to open my mouth and swallow such a big cake in one bite during the later negotiations?

After receiving Yan Tong's call, Boss Zhu did not delay and immediately sent people to cause trouble at the properties under the name of Jinlong Property.

It’s just that they leave the team quickly and return even faster.

I don’t know what’s going on, but as soon as these thugs and government officials entered those buildings, they felt itchy all over their bodies, but when they opened their mouths, they couldn’t help but burst into laughter, as if someone had pressed their funny points.

To outsiders, these people seemed like they were crazy.

Fortunately, there were a few smart people among them who quickly ran out to call for help.

At this time, some people with poor cardiopulmonary function were laughing so hard that they couldn't breathe, and many of them had their jaws dislocated from laughing.

When the ambulance arrived, more than a hundred people were sent to the hospital for emergency treatment.

When Boss Zhu heard the report from his men, he was also very stubborn. He directly sent several teams of people to cause trouble at several real estate projects under the name of Jinlong Property.

As a result, no matter how many people Boss Zhu sent or who they were, they all felt itchy all over and laughed desperately.

Only then did Boss Zhu sense that something was wrong and quickly reported it to Yan Tong.

"Uncle Tong, this is a bit weird. It feels like a curse has been cast on me. How about we find some experts to talk to us?"

"Where in the world does this head-falling come from?"

Yan Tong didn't believe a single word of what Boss Zhu said.

However, as time went on, the heads of various government offices also received news that their subordinates, whom they had dismissed, had all fallen ill and were hospitalized.

All these officials are afraid of death.

As soon as he saw that something was a bit strange, he told Yan Tong about it.

After receiving calls from several people, Yan Tong began to be cautious:
"Fuck off, this Jinlong Property Management Company, is there really a sorcerer there?"

Yan Tong is a villain who forgets his principles when he sees profit and who seeks profit and avoids harm. Seeing that Jinlong Property is so difficult to deal with, he subconsciously prepares to escape from the difficulties and wants to pass the buck.

The only person he could shift the blame to was Xu Legong, the head of the four chief Chinese detectives.

As the chief of the four chief Chinese detectives in Hong Kong in the 1960s and 1970s, Xu Legong was also very busy.

If you have time in the morning, you should go to the police station.

In the afternoon, he would go around and build up his personal connections.

Because the Spring Festival is coming soon, there are banquets and parties everywhere.

Xu Legong couldn't find an excuse to refuse.

When Yan Tong found Xu Legong, Xu Legong was playing golf with a few foreigners.

After Yan Tong arrived, he could only stand aside and listen obediently.

"Sir Yan, didn't you go to deal with Ye Song's matter? Did you finish it so quickly?"

Xu Legong saw off a few foreigners. When he saw Yan Tong waiting for him obediently, Xu Legong, who was well versed in the ways of the world, immediately understood that something must have gone wrong.

However, this did not prevent him from mocking Yan Tong's "apparent praise but actual criticism".

Before Xu Legong became the Chief Chinese Inspector, Yan Tong and Xu Legong did not have a harmonious relationship, and Yan Tong even taught many of Xu Legong's men a lesson.

As the saying goes, when it comes to beating a dog, it depends on the owner.

In Xu Legong's view, Yan Tong bullied Xu Legong's men, which was just a lack of respect for him.

Now that Yan Tong is not doing his job well, Xu Legong will definitely ridicule him, otherwise he will not be Xu Legong anymore.

"Brother Le, something unexpected happened."

Yan Tong was now under someone else's roof, so he had to bow his head, smiled awkwardly, and quickly recounted the story:
"This is really strange. I have sent people to find many doctors, monks, and Taoist priests, but they can't find out what's wrong with me. I even drank a lot of magic water, but it didn't help at all."

"Sir Yan, can you please use your brain a little more? If the problem cannot be solved, it shouldn't be that difficult to solve the person who caused the problem, right?"

After Xu Legong heard the whole story from Yan Tong, he subconsciously felt that the matter was very tricky and naturally became even more reluctant to take over, lest he would not be able to solve it and lose face as the head of the four chief Chinese detectives.

However, Xu Legong also mentioned Yan Tong.

After all, the cause of this incident was that Jinlong Property did not give face to all the police bosses.

Xu Legong said, then turned and left, not giving Yan Tong a chance to pass the blame.

Yan Tong watched Xu Legong leave with a gloomy expression:
"This Xu Lao Hu is even more slippery than that bastard Zhu Youzai!"

Xu Legong refused to take the blame, but the problem still had to be resolved.

Otherwise, Yan Tong's face would have been rubbed on the ground.

Yan Tong thought about Xu Legong's words, with a gloomy face, he returned to the police station, got an arrest warrant, called two teams of plainclothes officers, and then decided to lead the team himself to arrest Su Mingzhe.

It's about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Yan Tong stood at the door of Jinlong Property Company for more than ten minutes. Finally, he waved his hand and let his confidant go in, while he hid back in the car.

The gentleman does not stand under the wall.

His life is very valuable, so don't take risks for such a small matter.

　I still feel dizzy and swollen today, but it's less severe than yesterday. But my nose is starting to get blocked, my throat is starting to get dry, and I have phlegm.

　　I asked people around me, and many of them are positive.

　　I checked the local news and found an estimated number circulating on the Internet: more than 200,000 people have been infected.

　　I don't know if it's accurate.

　　I have summarized some common sense in preventing colds in life: wear a mask correctly, wash your hands frequently with soap, keep a safe distance from others, and exercise regularly.
