Su Cheng did not deal with the problems encountered by Liuzi and Jin Yanrou independently. For the two reporters from the central media, most of their investigations and interviews in China were safe, and they were able to produce a clear sense of crisis, which in itself shows that the other party is very strong.

Of course, Chinese politics in the 90s was full of all kinds of roughness and conflicts, which were the inevitable result of immature running-in. If the two of them happened to be caught between the gaps in the gears, it would not be surprising that they were targeted.

The top priority is to find the cause first.

Su Cheng quietly found Wang Ting and asked him to contact Minister Zhen, who had a good relationship.

In 7 years, Wang Ting has gone through a secretary, and he has been running around in three or four different departments, almost every step has not been missed, but even if he is in the core organ, there is still no way to directly help the sixth son, but Su Cheng is different.

Over the years, although there have been few direct exchanges between the two sides, it is more accurate to say that Su Cheng intends to disengage from direct contact and contact with it through the royal court, but in many ways, Dahua Industry, which has a lot of resources, still gives Minister Zhen considerable support, thus forming a tacit cooperative relationship.

This kind of relationship is naturally not as deep as Ding Zhipeng or Qi Meng, and it is not as good as Lin Yonggui and others, but it is enough to understand some news and deal with some simple problems.

In a way, the matter of the two reporters can indeed only be described as a simple question.

Wang Ting put down the matter at hand, made an appointment with the old leader, and then made a special trip to Guangzhou to understand the situation.

It was also with the guarantees of the two parties that the sixth son explained to him in detail.

However, Liuzi did not find strict evidence, and after finishing speaking, he was also embarrassed to say: "Maybe I inadvertently offended the people in the society......"

"Wuxi over there, is there any progress?" Wang Ting continued in the pre-set direction.

Liuzi was silent for a moment, and then said, "We interviewed some people and got some information. Alas, it doesn't hurt to tell you. It is about Wuxi Xinxing Industrial Corporation raising a large amount of funds from the private sector, as far as we know, they have been doing this since around 90 years, and the amount is estimated to be very large, and the interest is also very high...... Well, do you know about Ponzi schemes?"

The term "Ponzi scheme" was not known to the Chinese people until the time of the US financial crisis. However, Wang Ting stayed in the agency all the year round, and every day he came into contact with all kinds of big and important cases. It is indispensable to read foreign case literature. Naturally, you won't be stumped by this simple question. Said directly: "Is that what we are talking about demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall?" Do you think this new star company will use the money borrowed from the back to pay off the previous account?"

"There's a big possibility because their interest rates are too high and they're borrowing too much. Far more than they need, since the production and operation can not be used, and the interest rate is too high to lend, then their perennial borrowing behavior is very suspicious, we estimate, they have fallen into a financial crisis, not borrowing......"

Wang Ting was thorough at one point, and said with a bow: "If this is not the case, they should borrow money in the off-season." Pay it off in peak season and save on interest?"

"That's right, they borrow all year round, and they must not have enough of their own funds, in that case. The people who lend them money are dangerous. We interviewed some enterprises and government agencies, and found that the proportion of borrowing money is very high, and it has become a social phenomenon...... I originally wanted to collect more information about the interview and post a series of reports, but it turned out that one report was not good, and now, the interviewee did not admit it, so ......" Liuzi showed a helpless expression, and now there is no help from a voice recorder or a portable camera. In small matters, reporters can make up at will, but in major matters, it is difficult for reporters to get evidence.

Wang Ting understood a little and asked, "Then do you know who is protecting them?"

"It's hard to say. Liuzi glanced at him in embarrassment, and said: "Don't blame me for not telling you before, I think that after all, it is difficult for local cadres to interfere in the personnel appointment of the central media, maybe we think too much." ”

"It's not that hard, I mean, if you really get someone's sore feet, the guy who borrowed so much money, and the guy behind him...... By the way, isn't there Jin Yanrou? She's from the TV station, and she didn't record anything?"

"She went late, and people didn't dare to talk about it when they saw such a big camera. ”

"That's ......," Wang Ting's confidence was not very full, "I'll ask what Minister Zhen has to say." ”

Without tangible evidence, it is not easy to intervene from the top.

Liuzi said uneasily: "If it's too difficult, forget it, I'm not bad in Guangzhou, the weather is hot, the food is good, there are many private enterprises here, and it's easy to find reports......"

"Alright, you can wait with peace of mind. It's a little more difficult for us, and it's the same thing for Sioux City. ”

When the sixth son heard this, he smiled and said: "This guy, his face has increased in recent years......

"You're in the newspaper, if you go to the sea and then find Sioux City, business will definitely be easy. Hey, if you want me to say, when it's over here, we really don't have to go to the sea. ”

"You're all in the right place, and you're still going to the sea?"

"So to speak. Wang Ting shook his head with a smile and said, "I'll go and see when Minister Zhen has time, don't be too anxious, it depends on when people are free." ”

Although Minister Zhen is about to retire, his strength is quite strong, and he belongs to the four old people who have qualifications and ranks, faces and businesses, no matter how difficult the case is, as long as it is domestic, it is right to look for him. But because of this, it is not easy to invite Minister Zhen, on the one hand, the face of the inviter must be big, on the other hand, people have to have time, and finally, the case must be a little interesting, otherwise, Minister Zhen is more likely to send a subordinate over.

Liuzi nodded silently, at this level, it was no longer something he could control.

In the afternoon of the same day, the royal court passed the news to him.

Sioux City flew straight to Guangzhou under the pretext of signing an agreement on the city's natural gas pipeline.

As a Chinese metropolis adjacent to Hong Kong, Guangzhou has long been supplied with natural gas pipelines from Hong Kong. Hong Kong's natural gas pipeline companies, such as the China Natural Gas Company, are not likely to go to the mainland for layout, but they will not give up the market in the open coastal cities.

However, Dahua Industrial has signed a huge LNG agreement with the United Arab Emirates in order to obtain the Setan oil field, which has been bitterly exhausted. Even if Sioux City makes about twice as much excess profits, the cost of these huge and cheap Emirati gas is still cheaper than the gas that is transported to Hong Kong.

As a result, Dahua Gas has the capital to compete in these traditional large cities, and at the same time, it also allows Sioux City to sell more natural gas directly to end companies, and the profit margin has been more than a billion US dollars, and it is still increasing.

In this fully competitive market, once Dahua Industrial's natural gas pipeline is completed, even if they cannot completely expel the crude oil from the official natural gas of the city, they can join forces to cut off the involvement of latecomers, and the profits will only become more and more lucrative.

Even if the UAE's gas orders end, Dahua Gas will be a pure cash cow.

With such a huge market and prospects, it is only natural for Sioux City to come.

He spent a day dealing with official business, and under the pretext of going out to forage for food, he dragged Shulan to various teahouses.

When he goes to a teahouse, he tastes a few pieces of dim sum, and then changes to a teahouse, like a young man who goes to a bar at night.

After changing several places in a row, Su Cheng met Liuzi, Wang Ting and Jin Yanrou in the private room of Xianfeng Teahouse in the center of the city.

In the past two days, Su Cheng has also learned about some illegal fundraising problems in Wuxi, and always feels that there are dangers around. Although he does not know exactly what is happening there, or what will happen, the problem of illegal fundraising has always been a sensitive issue in the mid-90s, especially for large private enterprises.

Wang Ting was somewhat unimpressed, and said with a smile: "There is no news from Minister Zhen's side, you came so early, can you wait?"

"If there is no news in three days, I really don't worry. ”

"Oh?"

"Otherwise, I'll ask you to meet in the evening?" Su Cheng said, there will be news tomorrow.

Wang Ting was a little unconvinced, and said with a smile: "I thought you were too careful." ”

"It's better if there's no news, let's take it easy. ”

"It would have been nice to have been able to make a report again, so that it would not have been wasted so long. Jin Yanrou's aim was higher, and her voice was soft.

Su Cheng smiled, threw a shrimp dumpling into his mouth, and looked closely, there was still most of the dim sum on the table.

And the main force on the table, Shu Lan, who has always been happy and never gained weight, is a lady and gentle, and only her bulging chest is towering.

In comparison, it seems that Shu Lan's figure is really superior to Jin Yanrou.

Sioux City secretly felt evil for two seconds, then feasted and pretended not to see anything.

After supper, Wang Ting and the others patted their stomachs and returned to the hotel and slept peacefully.

Although they didn't think about it seriously, since Su Cheng arrived, Wang Ting, Liuzi and Jin Yanrou all felt much more stable.

The next day.

Before the breakfast time of the hotel arrived, Wang Ting, who was asleep, was woken up by a hurried phone call.

Minister Zhen, who loves health, sounded in surprise: "I'm in Guangzhou, you bring someone to meet me." ”

Wang Ting's spirit was excited, and the whole person was awake, and he hurriedly said: "Understand, I'll set off immediately." ”

"Well, if Su Dong is not busy, please join him. When it came to Sioux City, Minister Zhen was quite polite.

Wang Ting nodded again and again, and said, "I'll go and make an appointment with him." ”

While talking, Wang Ting put on his clothes, secretly surprised in his heart.

Minister Zhen is good at business, and has been promoted step by step from the grassroots level of public security, and to this day, his subordinates do not know how many big and important cases they have gone through.

He responded so quickly, which was enough to surprise Wang Ting, but he rushed to Guangzhou in person? It was absolutely impossible for him to be polite.

Wang Ting couldn't help but start thinking back to the whole story of the case he knew.
