Chapter 274 Ni Kun's weakness
Just as Luo Tuo was negotiating with Ni Kun, Hao Ren was also discussing strategies for fighting Ni Kun with several of his confidants.
In addition to the headquarters of West Kowloon, as well as the director of Yau Tsim Mong, Huang Bingyao and his two generals, Lu Qichang and Huang Zhicheng, were also called by Hao Ren to study the Ni family's past cases together.
After studying for a while, Hao Ren simply called Li Wenbin, who was already in the O-Chief, and Chen Jiaju, who was already in the anti-drug team, and directly set up a special task force to jointly handle cases across departments.
Anyway, no matter whether the leaders above approve or not, the Chinese police below are willing to follow Hao Ren. If the case is solved by then, everyone's KPIs will be good.
Li Wenbin introduced: "Ni Kun can be said to be the most cunning and scheming person among all the bosses in Hong Kong. He has a very large seniority and was with Wanglaoji in his early years. Therefore, almost all the young and dandy boys called him "Uncle Kun". They have a good relationship with many bigwigs in the Number Gang, and everyone basically got goods from him."
Chen Jiaju also took out his investigation report: "According to the latest information from the Drug Investigation Department, Ni Kun picked up goods directly from Sha Kun. The quantity was large and very cheap. His purchase volume was close to two-thirds of the time when the Ma brothers were at their peak."
Hao Ren couldn't help but frown and said, "Two-thirds of the Ma brothers... It's such a terrifying number. Don't there be hundreds of tons every year? Why is he still able to get away with the law and there is not enough evidence to sue him?"
Huang Bingyao replied: "It should not be said that there is not enough evidence to prosecute, but there is no evidence to prosecute at all. Ni Kun is really too cunning in doing things."
"How to say it."
"For so many years, Ni Kun has only been doing wholesale and has never done retail business. Among his younger brothers, the only ones who can get direct contact with the most trusted confidants. He shipped through his five bosses, Gandhi, Guohua, Han Chen, Wen Zheng, and Nigami."
"In other words, all the evidence we can find is at most point to these five bosses. Even these five bosses are doing wholesale, so there is not much evidence about them, and we are not even prosecuting them."
"If anyone among these five bosses turns into tainted witnesses, can Ni Kun be brought to justice?"
"It's not easy, because as far as I know, these five bosses not only do not know the specific location of Ni Kun's warehouse, but also do not have any direct contact with Ni Kun's confidants when picking up the goods. In other words, even if they are in a rebellion, they may only have human evidence and no physical evidence. As long as Ni Kun is willing to spend money to hire a lawyer, we may not be able to report it."
"Then, why can Ni Kun control Tsim Sha Tsui? He probably doesn't have many direct troops. He can't use cash for such a large transaction. Can they be checked in the money laundering channel?"
"It is almost impossible. Rather than saying that Ni Kun took over Tsim Sha Tsui by himself, it is better to say that Ni Kun's customers gave up Tsim Sha Tsui and gave it to him. He divided the entire Tsim Sha Tsui into five and handed over to the five bosses below. Several of his fixed customers respectively ensured that the five bosses' venues would not be messed up. Therefore, Ni Kun's five bosses controlled the entire Tsim Sha Tsui without many people. This was originally part of their white-powder transaction.
There are many bars, saunas, massage parlors in Tsim Sha Tsui, and a variety of protection fees are collected every year for tens of millions. The money for customers to buy powder is transferred to his five bosses through various businesses in Tsim Sha Tsui through similar methods, and his five bosses will pay Ni Kun every month."
Hao Ren thought for a while and said, "Beautiful, I'm really clean. In this business model, the possibility that our police force would directly catch him, Ni Kun's drug trafficking evidence is almost zero. Unless our undercover agent can enter their core level, it is almost impossible, right?"
Everyone nodded in frustration.
This is also the reason why Ni Kun has been standing in Tsim Sha Tsui for so many years.
Although doing this is a bit awesome to others and destroys one's own majesty, it seems that what Ni Kun does is really easy to break their defenses.
Hao Ren thought for a while and said, "Any business model has its pros and cons. Everyone is willing to purchase goods from Ni Kun because his goods are the cheapest and the best quality. The cleaner he picks himself, the further away from the final retail. The lower his risk, the lower his income will definitely be. This is the case for any business, and white powder is no exception.
This business model must be a large inventory of goods, and it is almost 100% between him and Sha Kun and he will be shipped, so he can get the lowest purchase price. But even if the purchase price is low, after such wholesalers at least two levels of pumping, since they can still sell on the market, their profits on each floor must be very thin, with low profits, mortgages, and heavy assets. What is the most feared of such a business?"
"The most feared...the capital chain is broken?"
"Yes, Ni Kun transferred the risk of being caught by us through layers of hands, but this risk must be transferred to his capital chain. If you sell white powder, it is impossible for a bank to lend him a loan. So cash is Ni Kun's first weakness. As long as we destroy a larger batch of goods, their cash flow will be tight. If we can find and destroy a large warehouse of his, even if it only once, we can beat Ni Kun to death."
"Yes, it's that simple?"
"It's that simple, this is just one of them. Secondly, except for the purchase channels of Ni Kun, everything is done by the five bosses below, and all the risks are also borne by these five bosses. But Ni Kun is probably the big money is earned by Ni Kun. Rather than saying that these five bosses, they are Ni Kun's five younger brothers. Capitalists bullied workers and dared not exploit them like this.
I guess these five bosses may want to kill Ni Kun more than we do. As long as any of them masters the channels for purchases, they will rebel immediately. This is Ni Kun's second weakness."
"Third, this kind of bulk wholesale and this strange payment method have led to Ni Kun's reliance on his customers too much, or the connection between them upstream and downstream is too tight. Such long-term cooperation has led to them being a whole that has prospered and lost. Any big customer has problems, which can shake Ni Kun's foundation. Similarly, if something happens to Ni Kun, his customers will at least be out of stock in the short term.
Therefore, Ni Kun was actually completely tied to the chariot of his customers. The accelerator was under his feet, but the brakes were under others' feet. As long as others didn't want to stop, Ni Kun couldn't stop. If he stopped hard, the car would be destroyed and the people would be killed. If Ni Kun wanted to wash his hands, his customers would be the first to kill him. As a gangster, his hard power was just that.
In other words, no matter what we do or how tight the wind is, he may not be able to stop the original pace of business."
"To sum up, although Ni Kun seems to be impeccable, he has these three weaknesses. As long as we break his five bosses by apart from his subordinates, destroy his warehouse at least one or two times, so that he can't continue to supply goods to customers. It won't take long before we catch him, he will explode himself."
