Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 1055 Cooperation or non-cooperation!

After the meeting, Watson called Chen Yongren to his office and said, "Ah Ren, please, on my behalf, invite the relevant persons in charge from HSBC, Citibank, Standard Chartered Bank, etc. to come to the police station to see me."

Chen Yongren said with difficulty, "Hua Sir, those small and medium-sized banks are easy to deal with, but banks like HSBC probably won't send anyone too important."

Watson grinned coldly, "Aren, it's not ten years ago now. Hong Kong Island will soon belong to the Chinese. These foreigners will come anyway. If they don't, notify Wei Jixiang and cause some trouble for these banks. Don't resort to violence, learn to use your brain."

"Then send some O-Triad police officers to their homes at the right time to teach them a lesson and set up a fight. After all, the gangsters wouldn't beat them up for no reason, don't you think?"

Chen Yongren's eyes twitched. This method, while not very harmful, was extremely insulting...

"Got it, Hua Sir!"

Soon, Chen Yongren brought his men to HSBC. Wearing his police ID, he walked to the front desk and said, "I am Chen Yongren, Superintendent of the Organized Crime and Triad Bureau of the Hong Kong Police Force. Take me to see the person in charge of your bank."

The receptionist looked at Chen Yongren and saw the ID on his chest. She smiled and said, "Officer, please wait a moment!"

A moment later, a smiling man came over and said, "Sir, I'm the lobby manager here. What can I do for you?"

Chen Yongren frowned slightly and said, "I told you, take me to see the person in charge of your bank. I don't want to say it for the third time!"

The lobby manager still smiled and said, "Sir, if you have anything to say, it's the same if you tell me."

Chen Yongren smiled. Before he came, he had considered that the other party's attitude might not be very good. After all, these foreigners were used to being superior. But he did not expect them to be so arrogant. As a police superintendent, he could not even see their leader.

Without saying anything, Chen Yongren turned around and left. Behind him, a hint of contempt flashed in the lobby manager's eyes, but he said nothing.

Chen Yongren did not contact Wei Jixiang immediately, but moved on to the next one. This time, he did not choose a foreign bank, but went to a bank founded by local Chinese - Bank of East Asia.

The Bank of East Asia was founded in 1918 by Chinese people including Li Guanchun and Li Zifang. It is one of the largest local Chinese banks in Hong Kong Island. In Hong Kong Island, the Bank of East Asia has a good reputation, so Chen Yongren plans to visit here as a second bank.

Arriving at the lobby of Bank of East Asia, Chen Yongren looked around. Although it was not as luxurious as HSBC, it was also beautifully decorated.

A bank employee saw Chen Yongren standing there looking around, and immediately walked up to him and said with a smile, "Sir, may I ask what business you need?"

At this moment, he saw the ID card on Chen Yongren's chest, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Chen Yongren also noticed this and said, "I am Chen Yongren, Superintendent of the O-Tribe Police Department. Take me to see the person in charge of your bank."

The staff member showed a hint of hesitation on his face, but finally said, "Okay, sir, but I need to consult our manager first."

"No problem!" Chen Yongren immediately followed the other party and came to a smart and capable short-haired woman.

"Manager, this officer is looking for the head of our bank. Please...?"

The woman looked at Chen Yongren and said, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Chen Yongren shook his head and said, "Just take me to see your person in charge."

The woman paused and then said, "Okay, please follow me."

Following the woman, Chen Yongren arrived at an office door. After a series of knocks, the woman called out, "Mr. Li, a superior wants to see you."

"Come in!" A deep voice came from inside the office.

After pushing the door open and entering, Chen Yongren immediately saw a man in his forties with a few strands of white hair on his temples reviewing documents at his desk.

After seeing Chen Yongren come in, the middle-aged man stood up with a smile and said, "Sir, please take a seat. I wonder what brings you here this time?"

Chen Yongren did not sit down, but stood and said, "Are you the person in charge of this bank?"

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and said, "Yes, I am Li Chunlin, the general manager of this bank, and I am one of the responsible persons."

Chen Yongren nodded and said, "I am Chen Yongren, Superintendent of the O-Tribe and Triad Police Department. I am here to invite you. Our O-Tribe and Triad Police Department would like to invite you to the Police Department. We have something to discuss with you."

Li Chunlin was slightly startled. "Mr. Hua, is that Chief Superintendent Hua Sheng from Organized Crime and Triad Bureau?"

Chen Yongren didn't expect that the other party also knew Hua Sheng's name, so he immediately said, "Yes, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Hua Sir will be waiting for you in the meeting room of the Police Department's O Division. No one will be waiting after that time!"

After saying this, Chen Yongren left immediately.

Li Chunlin looked at Chen Yongren's back and frowned slightly. He didn't know what Watson wanted to talk to him about at this time, but it seemed that he had to invite more than just his family. It seemed that he had to go!

This Watson is now very powerful, and it seems that he will not stop at the position of Chief Superintendent of Organized Crime and Triad Bureau. Making friends with him now is also a kind of advance investment.

After thinking it through, Li Chunlin decided to attend the meeting.

Chen Yongren, on his part, notified Standard Chartered Bank, Hang Seng Bank, Wing Lung Bank, and others in turn. He then contacted Wei Jixiang and told him directly what Watson had ordered, adding, "Don't resort to violence. Watson doesn't want to see any bloodshed. We just need to teach those banks that are unwilling to cooperate a lesson."

Wei Jixiang agreed with a smile on his face: "Don't worry, we are the best at this little thing."

Soon, the news that Watson invited the heads of various banks to the police department spread throughout the entire banking circle. After all, many banks have close ties with each other.

After receiving the news, the senior management of HSBC did not take it seriously. They also looked down on a chief superintendent. For a large multinational bank like theirs, only the Commissioner of Police in the Police Department could make them take a second look.

After hearing the news, Citibank director Phillips said, "I'm sure everyone is familiar with Watson. He's been promoted several times in just a few years and is now a Chief Superintendent. He's very likely the next Deputy Director of Operations, and it would be a natural progression for him to take over as Director. I think we should go see what he's up to."

Soon, under Phillips's persuasion, Citibank decided to go there with him as the leader.
