Poor Minister Li, he is 62 years old and he had to pretend to be miserable and cry to get out of this situation today.
The two bandit chiefs of the Corps, one red-faced and the other white-faced, extorted 650,000 yuan from him!
Six hundred and fifty thousand!
Minister Li's heart was broken.
If he had not made a prompt decision and asked Zhang Hongcheng to send back only one million before hanging up the phone, these two mountain eagles would probably have stolen the entire one million.
After more than ten years of suppressing bandits in Northeast China, we were back to the time before liberation.
No, even if he kept the 350,000 yuan, people would probably keep thinking about it. Minister Li immediately decided to spend most of the money so that no one would keep thinking about it!
"Xiao Zhao, immediately find all the applications for new cotton from below and approve all that can be approved! Let the educated youth below have a warm New Year."
After working with a group of subordinates until midnight, Minister Li suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to tell Zhang Hongcheng that he was going to be transferred to Beijing.
October 31st, Flower City.
The Canton Fair ended successfully the day before, and today is the day for staff from all walks of life to attend a collective summary meeting.
Before the conference, the venue was packed with people inside and outside, all with smiling faces.
Due to unexpected circumstances, the business atmosphere at this year's Autumn Canton Fair was much better than in previous years. The sales volume and preliminary intentions achieved on site have far exceeded the most optimistic expectations.
Before the exhibition, the most optimistic forecast from above was a 7% year-on-year growth, but according to colleagues in the Statistics Office, this year's year-on-year growth rate may be just shy of 11%.
The exhibition was a great success!
Zhang Hongcheng was naturally also notified to attend the summary meeting.
This time he did not sit with the people from the Seventh Business Group. A few days ago, because of Pang Yuanyuan's application, he was counted into the Logistics Group along with his number of people and business volume.
Zhang Hongcheng still knows nothing about Pang Yuanyuan's entanglement and thoughts.
He still only knew that his previous temporary team leader was named Pang, and was probably a woman in her forties.
It doesn’t matter whether they meet or not - Zhang Hongcheng carefully keeps his distance from anyone from the capital.
In the crowd, Zhang Hongcheng was chatting and laughing with a group of new friends.
Almost everyone around him was looking at him with shining eyes.
Because no one expected that the Northeast Construction Corps had gone crazy and actually wanted to sell off the row of warehouses and business teahouses behind the exhibition hall!
That's the hen that lays golden eggs!
Everyone had heard long ago that Zhang Hongcheng had made nearly a million this time by taking advantage of this location!
(The organizing committee didn’t disclose the information about the giveaway business to anyone—they were still thinking of making some money next year.)
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Hongcheng expressed this idea, people immediately crowded around him.
In particular, representatives from some super large enterprises and units, who were wealthy and powerful, offered to exchange industries that dazzled Zhang Hongcheng.
"Xiao Zhang, our Petrochemical Company in Huacheng just happened to have a building built for foreign experts. It has four floors and twenty-four three-bedroom suites, each with its own small garden."
"Would you consider it?"
"How many people from the Construction Corps can come here on business?"
The boss of a textile group interrupted with a smile.
"Xiao Zhang, I have something here that your troops will definitely like."
"Our group has a plan to open two or three more small cotton mills. After some research, we think Heilongjiang Province is a good place. I wonder if your leaders are interested in cooperating with us?"
"...Speaking of which, we have a business building in Harbin, which was built just over a year ago..."
"...Is your Corps having trouble with its medicine supply? Increasing the quota by 5% or even 8% is actually negotiable..."
Faced with so many bigwigs, Zhang Hongcheng didn't dare to play alone anymore. He hurried to the communication room of the venue to borrow a phone and threw the pot back to the Northeast.
Minister Li couldn't understand why this place that laid golden eggs should be transferred away at first, but he also knew that Zhang Hongcheng was right.
Starting from this Canton Fair, this row of houses has become indispensable to the Canton Fair, so it is impossible for the Corps to continue to occupy such an important position.
If we wait until the higher-ups come to take it themselves, the Corps probably won’t get any benefits at all.
So it’s better to exchange it in advance and make a lot of money.
"Alright, we old guys will be responsible for coordinating this matter, Xiao Zhang," Minister Li's tone suddenly became a little lower, "There's something I should tell you..."
At the Canton Fair summary meeting, Zhang Hongcheng made a small splash.
But Chu Miaohong found that her fiancé had no smile on his face in the past few days and seemed to be worried about something.
Zhang Hongcheng was stopped by someone when he was leaving the venue that day.
It was Pang Yuanyuan, the head of the Seventh Business Group and the famous business tycoon whom he met for the first time.
Pang Yuanyuan is a pretty woman who speaks very directly. The vague contents in the notice given to her by Minister Li became clear and understandable in her mouth.
"I'm very optimistic about you!"
"Your talent is not worthy of staying in the Corps."
"Come to our seventh group. Your rank will remain the same, but you'll receive a half-level increase. I'll reserve the position of deputy group leader for you."
"Once you become familiar with the business and processes, you might become the next team leader of a newly established team."
Zhang Hongcheng's answer at the time was very simple.
He didn't like the woman in front of him very much, let alone working with her.
