Chapter 1628 I'm not in a hurry
Monday, the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Because there was no 30th day of the twelfth lunar month in 1993, the 27th of the twelfth lunar month was counted as the 28th. However, Li Ye saw Shan Shengwen at work that day and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Hey Lao Dan, why haven't you gone home yet? If you don't leave now, you'll miss your chance!"
Shan Shengwen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "President Li, we won't be going back to the Southwest for the Spring Festival this year. Almost the whole family is in Beijing, so we'll stay here. Here's the Spring Festival duty roster I've arranged; please take a look."
"Ah, speaking of working during the Spring Festival, it reminds me of the connection between us."
Li Ye chuckled as he took the duty roster, glanced at it, and said, "Are you treating yourself like a donkey? The Spring Festival holiday is only a few days long, and you're working three days?"
Shan Shengwen paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Anyway, I don't visit relatives, and I don't have anything to do at home, so I was thinking of working a few more days."
"Your intentions are good, but your approach is wrong."
Li Ye said to Shan Shengwen, "Our company values fairness. If you do more, won't others slack off? We can't let this kind of atmosphere get out of control."
"Okay, okay, I'll revise it later."
Shan Shengwen quickly agreed, but he was really not used to it.
In fact, a few days before the Spring Festival, everyone in Jingnan Group had a break, because Li Ye and Ma Zhaoxian had asked everyone to finish their work a week in advance. Those who lived far away could go home to see their parents, and those who lived nearby could take a break to help with some chores at home.
This humane management style made Shan Shengwen very uncomfortable, because when he was at Southwest Heavy Truck, he had to be very "savvy" in situations like this, so as not to be singled out by his superiors.
Therefore, the more holidays there are, the more they need to perform well in front of their superiors. For example, when they are on duty during the Spring Festival, they must make sure that their leaders see their efforts. As for whether they drink or play cards, that is another matter.
However, the situation at Jingnan Group is quite the opposite. Normally, production is in full swing and there are many workers working overtime, but during holidays, they are really lax and everyone is thinking about making a quick getaway.
Li Ye tossed down the duty roster and said, "I came here today to ask if we've received a response yet regarding our lawsuit against the contractor for the office building project. If we haven't received a response today, it'll probably be after the Lunar New Year."
The land in Sanlihe was left idle for a year because the contractor insisted on receiving sufficient advance payment before construction could begin. However, the construction contract was very vague, and Li Ye also insisted that it was perfectly reasonable not to pay.
Now Li Ye has filed a lawsuit directly with the relevant departments. In the end, either the contract will be voided or the previous entry fee will be refunded. In short, he has to get rid of that stinking mess.
"Oh, oh, oh, we've got a reply. It just arrived yesterday. Our case will begin trial at the end of the first lunar month."
Shan Shengwen quickly rummaged through the documents and found the notification letter that the case had been accepted.
Li Ye glanced at it and was quite satisfied with the efficiency of the relevant departments.
"Okay, you can discuss the details with Feng Shuyun later. I reckon she might have to appear in court to answer questions."
“.”
When Jin Hong initially signed the construction contract with Wang Bingxian's shell company, it passed through Feng Shuyun's hands. Later, they even tried to shift the blame onto Feng Shuyun.
Now that Jin Hong has run away, Feng Shuyun, as the person most directly involved, will definitely be questioned during the court hearing.
However, the day after Jingnan Group received the case acceptance letter, Li Ye's senior apprentice Peng Rui called Li Ye and said he wanted to help Li Ye mediate the matter.
Li Ye asked strangely, "Brother Peng, how did this get involved with you? When the tax authorities investigated the false invoices, did you help them?"
“.”
Peng Rui almost choked to death by Li Ye.
Peng Rui knew about the land in Sanlihe. Back then, Li Ye asked him to help investigate the matter of falsely issuing invoices for building materials purchased from Jin Hong. However, Peng Rui dodged the question and pretended to be confused. In the end, it was his senior sister Yu Xiufen who helped Li Ye.
Now that Li Ye has taken the case to court, Peng Rui suddenly jumps out to mediate. So whose side is he really on? Li Ye is talking to him in a strange tone, as if he's wrong?
However, Peng Rui entered society five or six years earlier than Li Ye, and his temperament and personality were more resilient than Li Ye's. After a slight adjustment, he opened his mouth with a smile.
"Li Ye, I never said I wouldn't do things for you back then! You were just too impatient, and you're still impatient now. It's better to resolve conflicts than to let them fester. Even in court, mediation is the main option. Meeting and communicating beforehand might actually save you a lot of trouble!"
"Hiss, Senior Brother, what you said makes sense."
Peng Rui was right. Li Ye's purpose in resorting to the law was to resolve the matter: either cancel the contract or give him a refund. If Wang Bingxian had backed down and simply admitted defeat, it would have saved Li Ye a lot of trouble.
So Li Ye really did bring Shan Shengwen to the appointment, where they met Peng Rui and the broker Wang Bingxian.
However, when Peng Rui arrived at the place he had arranged, he frowned slightly upon seeing Shan Shengwen.
Li Ye explained directly, "This is the director of our group's office. He came along today as a witness, because I've been the subject of many rumors over the years, and I'm really scared!"
"Hahaha~, Brother Li Ye, you're joking. With your status in the Jingnan Group, who would dare to spread rumors about you?"
Wang Bingxian laughed heartily and extended his hand to Li Ye: "Brother Li Ye, I was blind to your greatness before. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way."
Li Ye did not shake hands with the other party, but said indifferently: "Let's not talk too much about formalities. Today, I'm giving everyone a chance to be polite because of Brother Peng. Just give me a straight answer: can my office building project still start?"
Wang Bingxian also lost his temper and said indifferently, "Hey, Brother Li Ye, you hired that guy surnamed Kang as the project supervisor, wasn't it just to prevent me from starting construction? Why are you asking this when you already know the answer?"
Li Ye chuckled and said, "Does the project supervision delay your shell company's construction? As long as you ensure quality and quantity in your construction, what can Lao Kang do to you?"
"Hehehe, Mr. Li, there's no point in saying things like that."
As a "broker with powerful connections," Wang Bingxian also had his own confidence.
He cut to the chase: "I invited Mr. Li here today to offer you a win-win solution. I'll pay 35 million to buy back that land in Sanlihe, and you'll make a net profit of 5 million a year."
"Wait a minute."
Li Ye interrupted Wang Bingxian directly: "Shang Bin wanted to sell that piece of land to me a while ago, but the person in charge almost got sent to jail by me and forced to eat cornbread. Didn't you know?"
Or is that out-of-town buyer a shell company you arranged? Are you still not giving up on that land?
“.”
Wang Bingxian's expression gradually turned cold.
The land he sold to Li Ye was indeed three to four million yuan more than the market price, but a year later, its value had increased by at least eight million yuan.
Now that I've bought Li Ye back at a higher price, I'm not losing out at all. But unexpectedly, Li Ye is now going after me.
“Brother Li Ye, the capital is a place where dragons and tigers hide. Although I, Wang Bingxian, am not a big shot, it won’t be so easy for you to suppress me.”
“.”
Li Ye knew that Wang Bingxian was subtly reminding him that "I have someone behind me."
Li Ye said calmly, "Since the capital is a place where hidden talents abound, why are you so sure you can trick me?"
Li Ye knew that Wang Bingxian had powerful backers; otherwise, his senior brother Peng Rui wouldn't have stood up for a middleman to invite him out. But that person hadn't shown himself, so why should he give face to a middleman?
Wang Bingxian smacked his lips and said with a smile, "It seems that President Li is not in a hurry! There's no fixed time for lawsuits; it's normal for them to drag on for three to five years. Do you think the land price will rise or fall in those three to five years?"
【Die, you motherfucker~】
Li Ye chuckled: "I'm not in a hurry. Maybe if I wait a while, Jin Hong will be caught!"
“.”
Wang Bingxian's expression really changed.
Pulling out a radish brings out the mud; when one radish is in trouble, it may cause the whole vegetable garden to suffer. It's one thing if Jin Hong's misfortune affects Wang Bingxian, but Wang Bingxian's misfortune will affect others.
Wang Bingxian could not bear the consequences.
