Chapter 486 Remarkable Results! A Feud Between a Powerful Family!
Early morning at Haomen.
Casino tycoon He Hongmiao, as always, gets up early to exercise.
He was jogging on the treadmill, listening to the radio.
Qiu Yanfei, the most beloved daughter, came to the side in her pajamas.
"Happy New Year, Dad! Don't forget to get to the Land Rover dealership at 4 a.m.!"
Today is a joyous occasion as Land Rover's two 4S stores, Haomen and Xiangjiang, open on the same day.
Zhao Ruilong attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the Hong Kong-Hong Kong High-Speed Railway and the Hong Kong-Kowloon Station in Hong Kong yesterday.
He will not only personally come to Haomen to cut the ribbon for the opening of the new store, but will also visit the He family afterwards.
Qiu Yanfei, who had gone to great lengths to invite Zhao Ruilong, naturally attached great importance to the matter.
Therefore, the first thing she did after getting up was to remind her father.
He Hongmiao turned down the volume of the radio and turned to look at his daughter with a doting smile.
"Did you get up so early just to remind me? Even though it's 2003 and I'm 82 years old, I'm not so forgetful as to have forgotten this much!"
Qiu Yanfei said with a smile, "I didn't say you're old and have a bad memory. I just wanted to make you take it seriously. This is Young Master Zhao's first time in Haomen, so we can't neglect him."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. But you, hurry up and get ready! You look like you haven't slept at all. You're not planning to go out looking like this, are you?"
"How could that be? I got up so early today just to get ready and dress up properly."
"If you get up early one day to get ready for a date with your boyfriend, I'll be perfectly happy."
"Oh, Dad, you know I don't like men, and Ah Lian and I are serious. We've already promised each other to be together for life!"
"Are you sure she genuinely likes you and will keep her promise for life, and not just wants to use you to make herself famous?"
"Of course I believe her! She has never asked me for anything; I gave her everything voluntarily. Helping her find roles was my own idea; I wanted her to have more opportunities to showcase herself. You..."
"Alright, alright, whether you two truly like each other or not, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters!"
"Of course I am happy!"
"OK! That's all then. Go wash up and get ready!"
He Hongmiao turned around, turned up the radio volume, and continued jogging on the treadmill.
Qiu Yanfei, who was yawning and about to turn and leave, heard the broadcast suddenly stop.
"Recently, Zhao Lichun, the newly appointed Director of the Public Security Bureau, personally went to Guangdong Province to coordinate and direct multiple departments to concentrate their efforts on cracking a major drug manufacturing and trafficking case in Tazhai Village, Dongshan City, achieving significant results!"
"It is understood that, in order to ensure the secrecy and surprise of the operation, the task force dispatched more than 2,000 police officers from other places and deployed multiple helicopters and unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to conduct a coordinated air and ground raid on Tazhai Village."
"That night, 467 criminal suspects were arrested, and a total of 3.6 tons of various drugs and 175 tons of drug-making materials were seized. A large number of firearms and ammunition were also seized. This is the largest drug manufacturing and trafficking case cracked in inland China in the past decade."
"In an interview, Director Zhao stated that Longguo will always adhere to a zero-tolerance policy towards gun-related and drug-related crimes, continuously improve the professional capabilities of its team, strengthen its sense of mission, and resolutely dismantle the protective umbrellas that shield and condone crime..."
The radio quickly broadcast other news, but Qiu Yanfei remained rooted to the spot, her face still filled with astonishment.
As the daughter of the Macau casino tycoon, she was well-connected and had long heard that many drug addicts in Macau and Hong Kong used drugs from Dongshan Tazhai.
She also knew that Dongshan Tazhai, the village's drug manufacturing den, had not been shut down for a long time, but instead its production scale had grown larger and larger, and it had even been named a model village for drug control at one point.
The biggest reason is that the profits from drug production and trafficking are simply terrifying.
Not only is Tazhai Village internally united, but it also supports countless demons and monsters, sheltering them from the wind and rain and deceiving the heavens and the sea.
Furthermore, since the entire village is involved in drug production and trafficking, and they possess a large number of firearms and ammunition, it would be very difficult to wipe them out, and a slight misstep could result in heavy casualties.
Therefore, Tazhai Village became a well-known drug-producing village in the underworld, and many people suspected that the village had extremely powerful backers.
however……
This drug-making village, which was quite famous in the underworld in Macau and Hong Kong, has now been suddenly destroyed.
The one who coordinated and directed the various forces to destroy Tazhai Village in one fell swoop was Zhao Gongzi's father, Zhao Lichun.
It has to be said that this new official's first move was truly fierce and powerful.
Upon taking office, he eradicated a major, long-standing, and harmful cancer!
of course.
The news report, though brief, sounds easy and simple, but upon closer examination, it turns out to be far from simple.
More than 3,000 people were mobilized. What does that mean?
This is about the number of troops needed for a small-scale battle.
In addition to dispatching personnel from other regions, a large number of helicopters, drones, and other equipment were also used.
This is enough to show that Zhao Lichun was well aware that Tazhai Village had a large number of armed drug traffickers, and that a large force was needed to encircle and suppress them in order to wipe them out in one fell swoop with overwhelming force.
At the same time, Zhao Lichun also knew that Tazhai Village had a complex network of connections in the local area, and sending the local police to wipe out Tazhai Village would only leak the news and ultimately yield nothing.
Just like anyone with a little knowledge knows that Tazhai Village is a super drug-producing village, but what happened?
They were even recognized as an outstanding model village for drug control!
This way.
This anti-drug operation requires both steadiness, accuracy, and ruthlessness, as well as strict secrecy.
Having served as the top official in Handong, Zhao Lichun, already possessing rich experience, gained even greater power after being promoted to Deputy Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission and Director of the Public Security Bureau, successfully achieving a "one-hit kill."
Now that the drug traffickers in Tazhai Village have been arrested, their backers who protected and indulged them will naturally also be in trouble.
Qiu Yanfei felt that these people, who even colluded with drug dealers, did not care about the people but instead aided and abetted evil. It would not be too much to execute them all.
"Hey, why haven't you left yet?"
He Hongmiao turned his head in surprise and asked.
Qiu Yanfei, unable to hide her joy, said, "Did you hear the news just now? Zhao Lichun personally directed the annihilation of Tazhai Village!"
He Hongmiao chuckled and said, "Of course I heard it! What's the big deal? With his current position and power, wouldn't it be a piece of cake for him to wipe out a drug-making village? Especially since this is something he's in charge of!"
Qiu Yanfei spread her hands.
"I know that cracking down on crime is his duty, but don't you think he's really ruthless? Mobilizing more than 3,000 people and deploying a large number of helicopters and drones in the operation..."
He Hongmiao smiled faintly.
"How can someone who isn't ruthless rise to a high position?"
"Just wait and see. The annihilation of Tazhai Village is just the beginning of his efforts to restore social order. He will definitely have more big moves to come."
Qiu Yanfei immediately turned around, moved closer to the treadmill, and asked curiously:
Do you think this is just a case of a new broom sweeping clean, or will he continue to crack down on crime and illegal activities in the long term?
He Hongmiao said confidently, "Of course, it's about fighting crime long-term!"
“Once a person achieves success through a certain method or approach, they are prone to developing path dependence, and he is no exception.”
“Last year when you took me to Handong, you introduced him as a reformist who was good at economic development. When I talked with him, I also felt that he was not conservative at all.”
"Since he was promoted to become the number one economic province by improving the economy of Handong and replacing Dongguang, one of the necessary conditions for improving the economy of Handong is to continuously optimize the business environment."
"More and more people are willing to invest, do business, travel, shop, work, or even study in Handong, isn't it because they feel that Handong has a good rule of law society and a high level of public security?"
"With such readily available successful experience, how could he not promote it throughout the entire Dragon Kingdom? By transforming the Dragon Kingdom into a modern, law-abiding nation with world-class stability and security, how could its economy not develop rapidly?"
Qiu Yanfei frowned slightly.
She felt that her father's deduction was correct, but her father was obviously happy to see Zhao Lichun do this.
From another perspective, Zhao Lichun's crackdown on various illegal and criminal activities has made it difficult for prostitution, gambling, and drugs to survive.
Isn't this a major boon for the Ho family of Haomen?
Poison? The He family of Haomen doesn't have it, nor would they dare to. But the other two things are their professional expertise!
Those who are already obsessed with entertainment and gambling, and can't find a good place to play freely in the mainland, are very likely to come to Haomen!
The more people come, the more money the He family makes!
No wonder the father's expression was filled with undisguised anticipation as he spoke.
He clearly wants Zhao Lichun to continue his heavy-handed attacks, forcing wealthy people from the mainland to come to Macau to play.
"In that case, we should be even more hospitable to Young Master Zhao!"
"Of course!"
He Hongmiao picked up a towel and wiped his sweat.
"We must find a way to get him to help persuade his father, Zhao Lichun, to give us some favorable policies in Haomen."
"Especially in terms of customs clearance, if we can simplify the process and allow independent travel, we can attract more tourists to Haomen."
Qiu Yanfei beamed, "It would be best if our Haomen Airlines were allowed to open more direct routes, making it more convenient for tourists from major cities to come to Haomen!"
"Yes!"
He Hongmiao put down the towel and looked at his daughter with eager eyes.
"Whether our Haomen tourism industry can make a fortune in the future depends on Young Master Zhao Ruilong!"
Qiu Yanfei nodded emphatically.
"Dad, don't worry, I will do my best!"
"And I also believe that he is not an ungrateful person!"
"Last year, we gave him a lot of precious historical photos and old rubber rings as gifts, and we also actively encouraged wealthy people to make charitable donations and invest in high-speed rail."
“Now that his father has been promoted and has more real power than when he was stationed in Dongguang, even if we don’t ask for help, he should know that he should repay us!”
He Hongmiao nodded slightly.
"During my brief contact with him in Handong, I discovered that he was not an idealist. He was extremely intelligent, serious, and pragmatic. He understood all too well that only win-win cooperation could last."
"He was able to successfully assist his father's advancement by utilizing numerous scientific research projects and major engineering projects, uniting many people with tangible benefits. Therefore, he will certainly not let us down!"
"Of course!"
Qiu Yanfei said confidently, "If he were ungrateful and betrayed us, he would have flown back from Hong Kong after attending the groundbreaking ceremony yesterday. It's impossible that he would come to Haomen in person today, and even specifically say that he wants to visit our home!"
"Yes! He opened the first, and possibly only, Land Rover 4S store in Haomen right next to our Wynn Resorts, isn't that a sign that he wants to work hand in hand with us?"
He Hongmiao turned around with a smile and continued jogging.
Speaking of this Land Rover 4S store, Qiu Yanfei thinks Zhao Ruilong is a true business genius.
To the average person, Haomen, with its limited area and small population, has an extremely limited car market.
The combined annual car sales of Hong Kong and Macau are at most only twenty or thirty thousand.
This sales volume doesn't just include private cars; taxis, minibuses, and trucks also account for a significant portion.
Even though Hong Kong and Macau have higher per capita incomes and many wealthy people, there are certainly not many people who can afford and are willing to spend nearly a million dollars to buy a Land Rover.
