Binjiang Police Affairs

Chapter 480 Prevention Before Trouble Arises_2


Zhao Hongxing gestured for Old Jiang to organize the "students" to take turns looking and said with emphasis and cadence: "Not to toot our own horn, but the waterway security in Binjiang is not only the best in the province but also the best along the entire Yangtze River!"

"From March to August 1989, our Water Police Division, in collaboration with the Changhang Navigation Police Branch and Linghai Police Bureau, launched the first severe crackdown on waterway crimes. We solved over two hundred cases of various kinds, destroyed seventeen criminal gangs operating on water, and arrested more than three hundred criminals, six of whom were sentenced to death!"

"In 1991, water bandits were rampant along the Jiangbei section of the Grand Canal. Our Binjiang Shipping Company's fleet and individual ship owners were deeply affected. As soon as they entered the canal, they were extorted and blackmailed, and many shipmen were even beaten. Our division took the initiative to strike out, organized forces to provide armed escorts for the fleet of Binjiang Shipping Company and the armed Binjiang individual ships, arresting more than two hundred various criminals on the canal!"

"Last year, we conducted the second severe crackdown in collaboration with the Changhang Bureau and Linghai Police Bureau, solving over sixty different cases and arresting more than two hundred criminals. A few days ago, we were just commended by the Ministry of Transport Police and Jiangnan Province Police Department."

"Among you, there are those engaged in sand mining and those who operate ships. Anyone who has sailed in Binjiang Waters knows what our security is like. Those river pirates who rob, murder, extort, and commit all sorts of evil - we catch them one by one, not to mention any of you!"

Cracking down on illegal sand mining is important, but it's even more crucial to nip in the bud any potential criminal underworld that might arise from it.

Zhao Hongxing, with a stern face and eyes fixed intently on the sand-mining bosses sitting in the first two rows, banged on the table and said fiercely: "I know some of the situations in the Yangzhou and Zhenjiang waters, and it may be even more chaotic further upstream, but we simply will not tolerate such conditions in Binjiang.

Here I warn you, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have some money. If anyone dares to gang up and engage in criminal activities on the river, forming criminal syndicates, our police institutions will crack down severely, without leniency or mercy!"

It must be admitted that the security in Binjiang is very good, and it's hard to find a few places in the whole country with better security than Binjiang.

The deputy director of the Water Police Division made a fierce declaration, and a group of sand mine bosses were so scared that they were beside themselves with fear, not daring to look up directly.

Zhao Hongxing spoke with gravity and, after finishing, packed up his things and left.

The "students" had been learning from 8:45 in the morning and had gone through three classes in a row, their stomachs growling with hunger. Those who were caught the night before didn't even have breakfast and were famished to the point of collapsing.

Just when they thought the lesson was about to end, Director Hu from the Port Supervision Department actually came in and said that another class would be added.

As their ships were detained, no one dared to leave, they could only grit their teeth and continue learning.

Fortunately, compared to the previous three classes, the atmosphere of the next class was much more relaxed. It wasn't about how to inspect, penalize, or even arrest; at least it wasn't filled with such a strong smell of gunpowder.

Master Chen from the Linghai Water Resources Bureau was entrusted by his superiors to help the Binjiang-native sand mining bosses and the crew of sand mining ships find a way out.

After all, purchasing a sand mining ship could cost several hundred thousand, a hefty investment. Banning sand mining would result in significant losses, and those who worked on sand mining ships would also lose their jobs.

Master Chen first introduced the construction of Linghai Port Engineering and the dredging of Linghai River, promising on behalf of the Linghai Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government that as long as they stop illegal sand mining, there would be work for them.

There were many government water conservancy projects that could last four or five years. The money invested could eventually be earned back, although not as lucrative as sand mining.

As for sand mining ships from other places, they should go back where they came from. Binjiang has many water conservancy projects, but priority is given to settling Binjiang-native sand mining ships.

But overall, this was quite humane. It was truly providing an alternative solution.

Just as everyone was leaving the conference room with their stomachs growling, Han Yu stood on the deck of the port supervision barge talking to Zhao Hongxing.

"I'm off on Labor Day, might take a couple of days off in advance."

"A couple of days in advance?"

"I'm supposed to assist in attracting investments, aren't I? Two Chinese Canadian businessmen are going back to Canada in a couple of days, and they were contacted by me. I need to go to the East Sea to receive them. Xiao Yu and Yu Zhen are planning to get married on May Day. They have never flown before; they plan to fly from Hanwu to the East Sea, and Ningning and I will go pick them up and bring them back."

"Ningning is also going to the East Sea?"

"She hasn't rested much this year, it's like taking compensatory leave. Everything at work and with the bureau leaders has been arranged."

"With two businessmen, plus Xiao Yu and his wife, can you all fit in one car for the return trip?"

"We won't drive; we'll take a ship there, and we'll all return on a ship together."

Zhao Hongxing looked at the sand mine bosses passing by with their heads down and asked, "Does that mean you guys are going to take a few days off?"

Han Yu smiled and said, "This is what you call a work-life balance."

"Dumping the kid with your mother and your Master's wife, you guys sure know how to enjoy yourselves going to the East Sea."

"We're only going for two days, and besides, the child is so young, it's not easy to bring along."

"By the way, how much are you gifting for Xiao Yu's wedding?"

"Didn't he tell you?"

"He mentioned on the phone that they wouldn't accept favors, but we can't really not give anything."

"They didn't accept anything when Ningning and I got married either, said they wouldn't take it. Besides, Yu Zhen is quite wealthy, they wouldn't care much about your hundred or so bucks."

While they were chatting, Xiang Ning and Old Wu accompanied Director Teng from the Binjiang Water Resources Bureau, Old Huang from the Water Resources Supervision Enforcement Team, and Master Chen from the Linghai Water Resources Bureau down. They called the two over to the project Command Center canteen for lunch.
