In Kyoto's office buildings, 90% have been pre-leased.

This also demonstrates Pan Lanlan and Du Yu's extensive network of connections.

Although the deposit was only 20% of the rent, it covered all the costs for the interior decoration.

Money that was restricted and couldn't be moved by the Aihui Group can now be circulated.

All factories are operating at full capacity, and demand exceeds supply.

The grain and oil processing plant received over 30 million yuan worth of high-quality wheat, but the payment to the supplier was still in the factory's account.

Pan Lanlan called Song Yan and said, "If you have the chance, please introduce your friend to everyone."

Every time they needed funds, the other party supplied them unconditionally.

Such a partner piqued the curiosity of Pan Lanlan and her colleagues.

Song Yan gave a perfunctory answer on the other end of the phone, saying that they would talk about it when there was a chance.

When Song Yan and Shen Qian returned to Guangcheng, there was still no clear explanation for the goods that Ai Hui had seized at the Guangcheng Customs.

Under normal circumstances, goods are detained for 3 to 5 days. In special circumstances, the detention period generally does not exceed one month.

However, Guangcheng Customs applied for an extension of the detention period.

Since there was no conclusion in Guangcheng, Pengcheng Customs refused to allow Aihui's goods to leave the country.

Of course, there are many reasons why goods may not be allowed to leave the country.

At this point, no one came forward to plead for him.

Foreign-invested enterprises usually receive a lot of preferential treatment from the government in terms of policy.

However, all forms of support are now open to discussion.

Our government welcomes law-abiding foreign businesses to invest in the inland areas.

We have legal repercussions for illegal investors.

Aihui has already invested a lot of money in the mainland, such as in factory buildings and equipment.

Ai Hui didn't dare to make any strong demands anymore; at this point, it was just a shipment of goods being held up for export.

The government has not taken any other coercive measures.

Ai Hui certainly wouldn't dare to strain their relationship.

Ai Hui is unable to deliver the goods on time. I heard that they will have to pay a penalty of up to 20 million Chinese dollars.

Song Yan naturally wanted to know the reason behind it.

I wonder who Ai Hui offended. Can an enemy's friend become your own friend?

Shen Qian hesitated.

"Is there something you can't tell me?" Song Yan asked.

Shen Qian immediately shook his head. "No, it's just that some things are uncertain, and these are all just my guesses."

I went to the municipal government with the Shenzhen police.

I saw Commander Wang's son, Wang Jinhui. He didn't see me, and I didn't greet him.

I made some inquiries and found out that Wang Jinhui works for the Pengcheng Municipal Government.

After I returned to my unit, I inquired about what those guys from back then were doing.

Qiu Hai works at Guangcheng Customs.

Fang Shengjie does business in Guangcheng.

Xu Liangsheng was in the army and was very outstanding. His girlfriend's brother worked at the Guangcheng Public Security Bureau.

Shen Qian said he was just inquiring, but in reality he was conducting an investigation.

Qiu Hai, Fang Shengjie, Wang Jinhui, Xu Liangsheng.

Song Yan got to know these four guys because Fang Jinghua wanted to deal with Shen Qian.

Later, we got along well, and they kept in touch for several years.

Shen Qian and his parents still have an excellent relationship.

Wang Jinhui's father was a deputy army commander back then.

Fang Shengjie's father was Deputy Division Commander Fang.

Xu Liangsheng's father was Chief of Staff Xu.

Qiu Hai's father was Commander Qiu.

Chief of Staff Xu left the military last year due to health reasons.

The rest of them were all promoted.

Shen Qian: "I didn't contact them or inquire about this matter, to avoid causing unnecessary trouble."

But what do you think about the work they do and the places they are in when you consider them together?

The canvas used by Ai Hui to package goods was produced by Fang Shengjie's factory.

He and Ai Hui are somewhat related.

Song Yan and Shen Qian shared the same conjecture.

Shen Qian: "I heard that Qiu Hai and Fang Shengjie should both be able to enter customs after graduating from university, but Fang Shengjie failed the political review because of his mother Shen Hongxiang's connections."

Wang Jinhui was assigned to work for the government after graduating from university.

Xu Liangsheng was admitted to a military academy after enlisting in the army.

All four of them are very capable and outstanding.

Song Yan had a good relationship with Wang Jinhui, Xu Liangsheng, and Qiu Hai's father, and would bring them things every time he went to the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region.

I haven't had direct contact with these three people in recent years, but when I give things to their father, I also bring them some good things that can't be bought elsewhere.

He had no contact with Fang Shengjie or his father, Commander Fang.

When Fang Shengjie's older sister, Fang Jinghua, was a sent-down youth in the brigade, Song Yan did not make things difficult for her.

Song Yan and she didn't exchange many letters; they would just exchange greetings when Chunyang wrote to her.

Chunyang and Fang Jinghua have kept in touch.

Shen Qian has always been protected by his father.

Song Yan really wanted to see them, but now was definitely not the time.

The matter had to be kept quiet, and they went to see Old Lei.

Then they told him another piece of news: he now has two ham sausage production lines.

Out of consideration for their long-standing friendship, he allowed Shen Qian to have priority in purchasing.

The price of the two production lines is 6 million.

This saves 1 million compared to Aihui.
