My aunt brought in the subscribed newspaper. She knew that the young couple would read the newspaper before breakfast.
Fan Qi opened the newspaper and saw that the front-page headline was still about the collapse of a tenement building. The article said that the concrete used in the collapsed building was pink and white, while normal concrete is gray. So it was not just the chloride ions corroding the steel bars due to the use of seawater to mix concrete, but also that the building materials were cut corners.
She saw another article below that detailed the "Salt Water Building" incident of that year.
Chen Zhiqian mentioned the Salt Water House to her last night, but he went to the study to call the United States, so she didn't ask any more questions. Now that she has read the detailed report, she knows how outrageous it is. The more she reads, the angrier Fan Qi gets: "Those black-hearted businessmen have thrown their consciences away in order to make money."
Chen Zhiqian said: "At that time, the industry was basically like this. Whoever built a good-quality building would not get the project due to cost issues, so it was a standard bad money driving out good money. Don't be angry, didn't I tell you that the Governor of Hong Kong would ask for a thorough investigation? After this thorough investigation, the quality of the entire industry will improve in the future. What's more, the next decade is the golden decade of Hong Kong real estate. Real estate developers have changed from being numerous, large and small to large companies monopolizing the business, and small companies have disappeared. At least there is one advantage, the quality of the buildings will be high."
"This kind of black-hearted businessman who harms people really shouldn't live in this world."
"Tianhe also undertook the construction of some public housing." said Chen Zhiqian.
Thinking of what Chen Zhiqian had said before, Liu Xiangnian found him in 1988 in his previous life. At that time, Liu Xiangnian was still a wealthy man. It can be seen that this investigation has little impact on him. Fan Qi asked: "Is the quality of Tianhe's housing very good?"
"How is that possible? Liu Xiangnian was a person who could resell grain at high prices during the Japanese occupation. Why do you think he had a change of heart and did a business that was losing money in that era?" Chen Zhiqian said to her.
Fan Qi was puzzled: "But you also said that in your previous life, Liu Xiangnian was not affected. After all, he didn't know you until 1988 in his previous life. Moreover, even after his death, Feng Xueming donated all his assets for him and earned a reputation as a philanthropist."
"In his previous life, he survived this crisis safely. But the result was that Feng Xueming was sentenced to three months outside prison for obstructing the investigation. It wasn't a big loss." Chen Zhiqian said with a smile, "But this time the investigation may be more thorough."
Fan Qi found that his smile was a bit cunning: "Could it be you..."
"It's not me, it's Liu Xiangnian himself."
Fan Qi was confused again: "Liu Xiangnian checked himself? It's not that his kidneys are sick, it's that his brain is sick."
"In order to force Feng Xueming to take over Tianhe and force Feng Xueming into a corner, he would not hesitate to let Feng Xueming go to jail for several years. Not just three months, but two to three years."
Hearing this, Fan Qi was completely confused: "What kind of psychopath is this?"
"He's not crazy. Would he kill Fan Qi in his previous life to force me to go back? He has his own logic and will take advantage of any opportunity he has." Chen Zhiqian said, "He will use the self-torture trick to get Feng Xueming back to Tianhe. You see, Feng Xueming treated Xu Miaoer very badly, but he is actually a businessman with conscience and ideas. Otherwise, he would not have donated all of Liu Xiangnian's property in his previous life."
"That's not right? It was a problem in the 1960s. Feng Xueming couldn't have committed a crime at that time. How could he be in jail?"
Chen Zhiqian said: "In the 1960s, the main body of Tianhe was at most still there, and Tianhe was fined. But Liu Xiangnian did not do that. In the near future, that is, after persuading Feng Xueming to take over, he will find ways to obstruct the ICAC investigation, and add some other problems. Feng Xueming was arrested because he was the actual controller of Tianhe. As long as he is imprisoned for two or three years by Feng Xueming, WO will be gone when he comes out. He will talk to Feng Xueming at that time and ask him to stay at Tianhe."
"If Feng Xueming went back out of pity, it's because Feng Xueming is his grandson and he feels sorry for him. How could he do this?" Fan Qi looked at Chen Zhiqian.
"Think about Fang Hao." Chen Zhiqian reminded her.
Fang Hao came to Hong Kong a few days ago.
