Chapter 59: Approaching the Abyss
Until Yan Yong walked into Gao Shan's luxurious office with people, Gao Shan had been closing his eyes, as if he was sleeping, and as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate, in fact, Gao Shan was not in the mood to sleep at this moment, let alone have time to recuperate. [Ran^Text^Library] After finishing the reception work at noon, thinking about the reception and smiling faces that had not been played in the afternoon and evening, Gao Shan felt very tired and tired, but he could only grit his teeth and persevere.
Returned to the office with a strong sense of alcohol, leaned back on the sofa, squinted and watched the bewitching figure dangling in front of him, sending tea, and washing hot towels to cover his face, but he was not in the mood at all, not even waving his hand to let them leave, until they were busy and left, the room was completely quiet, but the confused mind became clearer and clearer, and all kinds of scenes were presented in front of him completely one by one like a movie, and several times they started from the day after the arson.
Curled up on the sofa in a daze all night, neither asleep nor came up with any good solutions, so when he received a call from the third child in the morning, he was still a little irritable, but he still listened patiently.
The third child said on the phone that Cui Lianguo and Tao Qunshan, as well as the two brothers who participated in the arson, were all arrested by the county public security bureau, and they were directly sent to the detention center and detained without staying at the public security bureau. It seemed that he had already thought of this, but he didn't expect it to be handled like this.
Peng Qun also called quickly, angrily asking Gao Shan what was going on, and also pushed the responsibility for the smooth opening of the Zao Xiang Festival a few days later to Gao Shan, and before Gao Shan could justify, it was a series of roars and anger, as if all this was caused by Gao Shan.
"Secretary Peng, don't be angry, I just heard you talk about it before I knew about it, and I don't know much about this matter from beginning to end, you also know that this farmland demolition is operated by the real estate company, and although the real estate company is owned by Delong Group, it is only an affiliation, and Cui Lianguo is responsible for the operation and decision-making." Gao Shan said with a smiling face: "You dissipate your anger, I will understand immediately to see what went wrong." ”
Gao Shan skillfully pushed the contradiction on Cui Lianguo in one breath, which was also an idea he had thought about for a long time, if he wanted to wash himself, he had to let Cui Lianguo take the blame.
"I don't listen to your explanation, you will immediately come forward to solve this matter satisfactorily, and you must not let this matter affect the stability of the overall situation." Peng Qun didn't want to listen to Gao Shan's explanation, and he also looked impatient, "You go and solve it right away." ”
Gao Shan secretly gritted his teeth with hatred, but there was no way to do it, after all, it was at such a time, after all, he still had to look at Peng Qun's face. According to Gao Shan's temper, this matter can be ignored at all, and even hide out for a few days, but now he doesn't dare to be so casual, so he still goes out honestly and calls the third child to visit the hospital.
As soon as he entered the gate of the hospital, Gao Shan keenly felt that something was wrong, not only did there be a lot of unfamiliar faces in the hospital, but there were also many onlookers who were obviously not from Pingyuan County, and it seemed that this matter was beyond the scope of Pingyuan.
He secretly reminded himself that this is an extraordinary period, and there have been many vicious cases of forced demolition and land expropriation, which have aroused strong dissatisfaction in the society. In this case, if it is not handled properly, it will not only bring great side effects, but also endanger your own interests in the plains and even Qinghe. This is not only his understanding, but also in Sister Yu's text message just now.
The text message is very long, it is rare for Sister Yu to be so patient, perhaps because she realizes the seriousness of the problem, "Now is the cusp of the storm, the relationship between all aspects is very complicated, don't make extraneous branches, especially don't cause group ** cases, otherwise no one can protect you." ”
Of course, Gao Shan knew what Sister Yu meant by the extraordinary period, and he also understood the current situation of the big boss, after all, while being in a high position, there were also a lot of constraints. It's not easy to cover the sky with one hand, and too much interference in projects and projects can also lead to great dissatisfaction and balance difficulties. Officialdom is sometimes like a shopping mall, or even stronger than a shopping mall, it is like doing business, all have their own interests and goals, compromise and balance are often the necessities of survival, it is possible for the strong to take all, but how long can it be maintained? It seems that everyone understands that it is not easy to maintain and defend their own interests, so they hate the stupidity of their subordinates even more.
The corridor was very chaotic, and from time to time you could hear the cries of family members and the voices of angry protests, which was chaotic for a while, and there were many reporters and idlers from news units who kept asking about something.
"The leaders are all early, really, how did this turn out like this." Gao Shan walked into the ward building and saw Hao Han talking to the dean, but he didn't see Peng Qun, so he must have pushed it to County Magistrate Hao to deal with these thorny problems. Hurriedly walked up quickly, and said with a smile on his face.
Hao Han glanced at Gao Shan coldly, and did not speak, but continued to say something to the dean, Gao Shan stood beside him awkwardly, not to go, not to go. He knows very well what his position is in the eyes of the officials in these plains, he is nothing more than an upstart, not bullshit, especially with Peng Qun's protection, he looks down on him in his heart. It made him very annoyed, but he was helpless, he understood that in this era of the official standard, although various economic components have made many people rich, no matter how rich he is, no matter how big the business is, in the eyes of the officials, he is still a mercenary businessman and a lowly villain. The hierarchical concept of scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants has always been difficult to change, especially for a person like him, who has taken the wealth by force and has the character of an underworld, it is impossible to get the approval of these officials, and this sense of disgust and alienation has become more and more obvious recently, and there are many people waiting to see his end. This is also something that Gao Shan can't control, and when he was embarrassed, when he saw Zhang Shouzheng coming from afar, he nodded and greeted him from afar: "Director Zhang, you're still busy!" ”
"What's the way, such a big vicious case, I haven't encountered it in the plains in the past few years, it's not okay if you don't pay attention to it!" Zhang Shouzheng responded to Gao Shan lightly and walked in front of Hao Han, "All the people involved in the case have been controlled, and they will be dealt with after the investigation of the incident." ”
"Well, no matter what the nature of the problem, as long as it involves the safety of people's lives and property, it must not be ignored." As he spoke, he glanced at Gao Shan, didn't say anything more, turned around and walked slowly while talking to the dean.
Gao Shan stood there stunned, looking at Hao Han who was far away, and Zhang Shouzheng who nodded and left, feeling that their eyes and tone had already determined that he had instructed someone to do it, and he had an unshirkable responsibility. No one listened to him, and he couldn't explain it, and suddenly it felt like he was here today with some inconsider.
Thinking about it, he turned around and left the ward building, slowly walked to the car parked in front of the building, waved his hand to the third child standing in front of the car, and slowly got into the car. Suddenly, there was an ominous sadness in his heart, no one cared about his existence, Peng Qun was in the foreground, and Sister Yu was behind the scenes, but once these were gone, his mountain was like a lonely little tree, standing in the wind and rain, and the result was so terrible to think about. It seems that the words of the Taoist chief should still be seriously considered, but thinking about giving up all this, he is still a little reluctant.
Perhaps, it is still necessary to go out to avoid it, and when you are busy for a while, you should go to Macau to have fun, it has been a long time and mood to have this time. Takayama reminded himself.
The arson case has not completely subsided, and there is news of the accident of the Delong Group on Qindao, Gao Shan realizes that it will soon affect the Qinghe River and the plains, and it is very likely that there will be an accident in the private financing, just like dominoes, if one falls, one will be affected, and all of them will be harmed.
Gao Shan felt that this period of time was very busy and tiring, but it had no effect. Such a busy state, from the beginning of this year to the present, has been maintained for nearly half a year, mainly thinking about how to find funds through various channels. Compared with the round of market adjustment in previous years, Gao Shan obviously feels that this year is a little different, and it is difficult to borrow money now. I feel that there is no money in the market, and those who have a little money dare not lend it to real estate developers. Due to the large number of real estate projects and high profits in the past two years, especially the support of Peng Qun, there is really no big difficulty in terms of funds, and the main funds for their operation projects are usually from bank loans, and several factories and mines take turns to borrow from banks and then transfuse blood into real estate projects. In the past, when the loan was due, Gao Shan used to repay the bank loan due by crossing the bridge, and then re-lend it from the bank. However, since this year's shortage of funds, the bank only collects but does not lend, and after repaying the bank's money, it can no longer operate, and now the money has been invested, and once there is no live money turnover in the market, the capital chain will be broken. Otherwise, he would not agree to use warehouse receipts to defraud loans, let alone private financing, usury is like taking drugs, 15 percent of the monthly interest, a year of interest rollover, normal business activities are completely unbearable. Gao Shan knows his own strength, a few mines and a few factories, even if he has money to earn, there is no thirty percent profit, not to mention all kinds of filial piety and dividends. At first, I was able to make my own land money, but with the increase in projects, I didn't even have the land capital, and I relied on bank loans. Otherwise, Zhang Fugui's real estate cannot be forcibly acquired. Takayama had a premonition that such a desperate move was like walking a tightrope, and something would happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
Doing business Gao Shan knows his ability, although in the eyes of outsiders, he has unlimited scenery, a net worth of more than 100 million, and owns minerals, factories, and real estate, and is a well-known figure in the plains and even Qinghe. But he knows that he Gao Shan is a gangster who started by smuggling and broke through the world by fighting and killing, if some of them are unique vision, some may be the help of a few brothers who have passed their lives, and some are their own ruthlessness and brutality. The coldness made him seem to be a lot less gentle, and there was also the shrewdness and insidiousness of the southerners, which made the first half of Takayama's life, all of which were based on intuition, although he once had the identity of an American, but in the final analysis, he was still a fisherman in a coastal fishing village, at best a fisherman with some courage and ability. In that small fishing village, his shrewdness and ability are the best among everyone, but when he walks out of the small fishing village and goes to a higher level, he is just a gambler, and he may be a gambler who is not qualified.
When it comes to gambling, maybe Gao Shan has a certain right to speak, and does not deny that the gambling component in his mind is still greater than the weight of skill, it seems that as long as he has the guts, he can get the glory and wealth he wants, so what he gets is still a failure with nothing, but he doesn't want to believe in his lack of ability, and he is still expecting a chance to turn around.
Whether it's to Hong Kong or to the plains, there is basically no big plan or big plan in the mountains, just do things according to your own feelings, so after the initial operation, what you can do is to drive according to the inertia of your habits. For a long time, Takayama was like a speeding car, and there was really nothing that could be done other than to follow the original speed and trajectory.
There really wasn't much to do other than the fighting, killing and fighting at the beginning, so after there were hotels and entertainment centers. Although there is no clear instruction, but pornography, gambling or blind eyes, let his subordinates do nonsense, but the drugs are controlled by Gao Shan personally, except for a few particularly close subordinates, that is, he knows the specific operation and method, these even his brothers do not know, this is not a matter of trust or not, but do not want them to be involved, after all, the matter of losing the head still does not want to involve his sworn brothers too much, the specific operation is the relationship that he met in Hong Kong, And they are all desperate outlaws, but in terms of the details of the specific operation, Gao Shan will ask about it, and he will definitely not involve himself too much.
Gao Shan knows how to protect himself, although when Hehai Lao Qi came to the plains to seek revenge, it was also the little brother of Hong Kong who came forward and killed Lao Qi and his three horses unconsciously, and set fire to the corpses, creating like a car accident, although the public security never believed it, but there was nothing to investigate for more than a year.
This is what Gao Shan can do, and this is where he is more handy, and gambling in Macau is just a cover-up, that is, money laundering through casinos. In fact, it is to arrange and contact the younger brothers, and the method to control them is to be ruthless, he once personally disposed of a younger brother who eats inside and out, deterred the other younger brothers, and also gave him a steady stream of money, but these cannot be disclosed to the brothers, let alone let the brothers participate, because this is his retreat, and the only thing that can protect himself.
It's just that what is bothering him at present is not Hong Kong and the coast, and the current situation, no matter what he does, he is still a humble and successful businessman in the plains and mountains, and he is a businessman who has worked hard for the economic prosperity of the plains, and he still has to protect his business and image.
It doesn't matter if you can spend money to settle things, this is Gao Shan's creed, and he firmly believes in it, but in recent times, he feels a little stumbling everywhere. Sometimes Takayama feels like a pawn on a chessboard, performing like a clown, nothing more than to cheer and satisfy others, and he can't decide his own fate. Sister Yu's greed, Qian Xiangzhong's greed, and Peng Qun's domineering all made him unbearable, but he had to accompany the smiling face and be careful, although he had sufficient evidence and could die with them, but as an official's background, he knew that once something went wrong, he would die worse than them, so he had evidence, but it was just self-preservation, and it had no practical effect. And the only thing he can do is to pat his ass and leave, which he has been prepared for, financing and fraudulent loans are such a backhand, and he can leave at any time.
He was already planning, thinking that it would disappear after the jujube festival, and the specific measures had already been planned. Just waiting for the time to slowly disappear, in the past few days, Gao Shan felt that there seemed to be a pair of eyes around him staring at him, and he couldn't tell where it came from.
Until the moment Yan Yong led someone into his office, Gao Shan thought that he was in a dream, and when he understood, he knew where the eyes came from, and where the fear during this time came from.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that the Taoist chief arranged the layout and layout of the house, and the main gate was not to go without walking, but to make a roundabout way and advance and retreat, but over the years, he only thought about entering, and never thought of retreating, so the retreat he designed had also become a fetter and a road that trapped him.
Zhang Fugui's disappearance has already given him a clear reminder that there is a force that is gradually approaching him, and there are always some strangers who appear in his field of vision from time to time, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, so simple, and he didn't expect it to be such an ending.
A trace of sadness rose up and occupied his mind for a long time, but he never knew why it ended like this, how it ended like this
