Chapter 209: Young and energetic. Actually, I know that the leader said before...
Chapter 209 Young and energetic
"It's me, Director Xiao. Humph, it was fine before, but I felt disgusted after reading the newspaper today."
Yan Jiuru started to slander people without any hesitation.
Captain Xiao, oh, now Director Xiao, sighed and switched the phone to his ear. "This is already the 27th call I've received today..."
Of course it means the same thing.
His secret service bureau is relatively good. Most people don't know the phone numbers. But the phone numbers of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the Ministry of Public Security were flooded with calls as soon as the newspaper came out.
It's not just the victims and their families, but more importantly, the angry ordinary citizens, other media reporters who heard the news, and celebrities who care about the matter.
The victim risked his life to expose the incident. If the victim is not aggrieved, they can only face the accusations of being "incompetent".
The Secret Service doesn't have to be involved in routine tasks, but they will definitely be involved in such a large-scale transnational case.
He was not entirely innocent of being scolded.
"...We've already deployed over 400 people to make the arrests, and there are more than 200 members of the gang over there. It's not easy to bring everyone back for trial in a transnational case."
Yan Jiuru scoffed, "The victim just wants justice and revenge."
"What does it matter whether the criminal is brought back or not?"
"Should we arrest them all and make them all explain how they robbed and raped?"
Director Xiao was stunned for a moment. What else could he do?
"If it were me, I would destroy them wherever I found them.
They are all damned people. They brought them back from thousands of miles away to be weighed and divided into several pounds and ounces. You get three to five years, and he gets ten to eight years?
And then come out and continue to harm people?"
"How about letting the world see how many criminals there are in Xuan Country?"
It was not until he heard a "pop" sound in his ear that Director Xiao suddenly woke up.
He glanced at the receiver in his hand and muttered, "This Der is the ruthless one!"
However, if there is support from rocket launchers or something, it is not impossible.
After all, catching someone involves the principle of extradition of criminals, which is quite troublesome.
If they were eliminated on the spot because of resistance, it would save trouble for everyone.
It’s true that there are instructions above, but there is also flexibility in the specific operations below. As long as the results are good, there’s nothing to complain about.
When the time comes, we can just capture a few of the people who got shot and bring them back to bear the anger of all parties.

Public security personnel face many inconveniences when operating on Russian territory, but Lao Xiao and his special forces colleagues feel more at ease.
He has plenty of PRG rocket launchers and large KMs, just enough to support the Special Services.
This matter is now being jointly investigated by three countries, and the shame has been brought to Outer Mongolia and Great Russia. It really should be resolved quickly.
After Yan Jiuru finished arranging this matter, he thought about what happened in the Great Wall Hotel that day. After pondering for a while, he picked up the internal phone: "Notice, all department-level cadres will have a meeting at 10 o'clock on Monday morning!"
He wanted to give a good scolding to those people at all levels who were close to those profiteers.
When a profiteer gets rich, he simply spends and invests to launder the money and expand his business.
Therefore, whether it is domestic trade or foreign trade, it is necessary to deal with the Ministry of Commerce from top to bottom.
If the police really find out that there is any connection with their subordinate units or individuals, they will be slapped in the face by others.
Better to check yourself sooner rather than later.
***
The theme of the new Minister of Commerce’s first meeting was actually clean governance and anti-corruption!
The conference hall with several hundred people was filled with department-level cadres from various departments under the Ministry of Commerce, leaders of large and medium-sized state-owned and collective enterprises, and heads of branch offices from all over the country.
Yan Jiuru looked at the people who were still rushing into the conference room, moved the microphone on the podium, and said with a smile: "After our network is upgraded and the equipment for multi-party teleconferencing is ready, we won't have to rush around so much for meetings."
At ten o'clock sharp, the door of the conference room closed.
Lighting adjustment.
Xiao Song adjusted the microphone and signaled Yan Jiuru that he could start.
Yan Jiuru straightened his back, looked at the cadres of different ages below with a sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, good morning.
I am Yan Jiuru, appointed by the government and the people to serve as the first Minister of Commerce."
“To be honest, when the organization talked to me, they asked me if I had the confidence to do a good job.
I said I had never done this before and didn't know if I could do it well, but since the organization trusted me, I would do my best to do it well.
"The leader said, you have two advantages that others don't have. First, you are not short of money and will not be corrupted by money. You have a happy family and will not be tempted by women.
Second, they are harsh in their methods, thick-skinned, and daring to think and act.”
A low laugh came from below.
Yan Jiuru smiled and said, "Actually, I know that the leader said so much just for the last sentence: I am cruel and shameless!"
"Without further ado, let me start this meeting today. You've probably seen the headline above: Integrity and Anti-Corruption."
"I'm an engineer by training, so don't expect me to be too flowery. We blacksmiths are all about nailing every spit!"
Today's newspaper... I believe many of you have seen it.
I won’t go into details, you can go back and read it yourself.
What I want to say is that as part of the economy, many of the wealthy profiteers today have a net worth starting from millions, and some even have tens of millions. If they do something as big as what's reported in the newspapers, they may have even more money.
No matter who they are, when they have money, they either dig a hole to hide it, or expand their business and make more money."
Whether it's investment or laundering, domestic trade or foreign trade always has something to do with it."
"We in the commerce department welcome all kinds of investors and operators to prosper trade, but this does not include blood money."
Yan Jiuru glanced around with lightning-fast eyes and said in a cold voice: "My first request today is that business department staff are not allowed to take bribes, extort money, or demand anything from businesses or individuals who come to do business!
Anyone who takes advantage of others, violates regulations and laws to do things for others, and harms collective and national interests will be severely punished once discovered.
The second requirement is that for investment, we must strictly review the source of funds.
If you discover any unusual funds, please report them immediately. We cannot become the first step for criminals to launder their wealth.”
"I know that the few hundred yuan a month that I earn as a worker is not as much as the profiteers. If anyone is envious and wants to try his hand at the industry, please let me know.
Otherwise, you have to be careful about your reputation and don't make friends that will get you involved in things that you shouldn't.
That’s all I have to say.”
"Now let's discuss state-owned and collective enterprises..."
***
The meeting was not long and ended in just over an hour.
Many people did not leave and were whispering to each other.
There were also some people who felt like they were being called out and broke out in cold sweats.
The heads of several related companies, including the Golden Eagle Automobile Factory, the Aijiya Sanitary Products Factory, and the Golden Shield Fire Truck, who were specially notified by Yan Jiuru to attend the meeting, gathered together and whispered about the key points of this meeting:
Prevent black money from entering the factory through various means and then being laundered.
Several new factories don’t quite understand what money laundering is.
Zhu Changbing, the big brother, said: "We are not afraid. After all, our boss does not accept any external funds. It is mainly upstream and downstream suppliers and sellers.

"If someone comes to them one day with a million dollars and says they're optimistic about their investment, they'll get a percentage of the profits. If the money is black money, whether it's from robbery or something else, then with all the money going in and out, when it's finally distributed to them, wouldn't it be considered shareholder dividends? Wouldn't that make it clean?"
“That’s whitewashing.”
Of course, there are other ways besides investing in shares and receiving dividends.
For example, using black money to invest in opening a store, or becoming an agent for your best-selling products, or paying franchise fees, the money will eventually become white through operating profits.
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came over and interrupted, "The methods you mentioned are not new. Nowadays, there are even people setting up two companies, suing each other, and then using compensation to clean up their losses."
The country bumpkins were stunned.
This world is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
***
Yan Jiuru gave half a month. Anyone who took money or property from the enterprises or individuals below and actively reported it and returned it will be forgiven.
Otherwise, if someone catches you or if you discover something wrong through investigation, you will be dealt with according to the laws and regulations.
Once suspected funds are discovered, an investigation will be launched immediately. If the evidence is conclusive, the funds will be immediately cleared and reported to the public security authorities.
Yan Jiuru's swift and decisive actions indeed suppressed the impetuousness that had just emerged in the subordinate units.
Over the past half month, we have received hundreds of reports. The Ministry of Commerce has also set up a temporary working group to cooperate with this meeting to implement follow-up matters.
This matter alone kept me busy for a whole month.
However, the effect was immediate, and everyone in the business department who came to do business felt a clear difference.
Several of the Standing Committee leaders mentioned him while drinking tea.
"...I thought of everything, but I didn't expect his first priority would be integrity and anti-corruption."
"Well, the key is that he used the opportunity of the robbery to raise awareness of money laundering."
Leader No. 3 also nodded and said, "He seized the opportunity and acted without hesitation. Most cadres would have thought about it for ten days or half a month, but he acted immediately."
"Yes, if the economy doesn't develop, people will live in poverty. If the economy develops, people will become restless and all kinds of monsters and demons will emerge."
"This time, the United States is making small moves at sea again, intercepting our cargo ship and wanting to board and inspect it. The ship represents our territory, and they are trying to force us to submit."
The relevant leader of the diplomatic department said with a sullen face, "This is intolerable! We firmly oppose allowing them to board the ship!"
"Our naval and air forces are weak, which is frustrating."

Yan Jiuru was notified to attend an emergency meeting one evening.
In addition to several members of the Standing Committee, there were also more than ten ministerial-level officials participating. He was also surprised that he was notified to attend a meeting of this level.
The incident started when the US accused our cargo ship of carrying certain banned chemicals. In fact, our cargo ship was carrying daily necessities and no chemicals at all. It was a pure false accusation.
The current situation is that we firmly deny and strongly condemn the other side's blocking of ships, and at the same time reject the other side's aggressive behavior of waiting for our cargo ships.
"But our cargo ship has been forced to stop at a certain sea. The stalemate has lasted for three days. It's not a solution to continue like this."
Everyone frowned.
His fists were clenched so hard that they made a crackling sound. He was so angry that he couldn't express it in words.
"Everyone, please share your thoughts. Feel free to share any ideas you have."
Most of the people participating in the meeting were very excited. After arguing for a while, they finally had to come up with a most unacceptable plan: to have a third party designated by us board the ship for inspection.
This is equivalent to bowing your head.
Yan Jiuru said coldly, "They wouldn't bring this up for no reason. There must be something fishy going on. They're either framing us or using this opportunity to embarrass us, hoping to make us bow down."
Furthermore, what if the specific chemical alleged by the other party is not found after inspection? Can we just wave it off and call it a misunderstanding?
This kind of thing, if it happens once, it will happen again and again!"
"I suggest that unless the United States agrees, it must pay us punitive compensation of $50 million to $100 million if no banned chemicals are found, covering the delay in the voyage and other expenses incurred."
"Otherwise, we demand that every beautiful nationality cargo ship sailing in this waters be inspected!"
Someone frowned and said, "What if they don't accept it? Can they make a public apology?"
Yan Jiuru said calmly: "Then let it sink."
Apologize? Saving face is useless! There's no point in paying the other party money and making them feel the pain.
"If you don't agree, fight. It's not like we haven't won before! How can a barefoot man be afraid of a man wearing shoes?"
After the meeting, a member of the Standing Committee shook his head and sighed, holding a teacup, "You're still too young and full of energy."
