CHAPTER XXXVIII
The land bidding work in Ximen County has come to an end, and on this day, in the hotel conference room of the Chenggong Building, the county government and the county land and resources bureau will announce the winning bidders here.
Some time ago, the masked man threat incident that made people panic still has no clues, Wang Dongchen, secretary of the county party committee, and Li Zheng, executive deputy county magistrate, are furious, and the only unlucky thing is Lu Ming, director of the public security bureau, who has become the punching bag of the two leaders, because the threat incident has happened more than once, although after the first occurrence, the county public security bureau has taken preventive measures, but the main messenger behind the scenes also has corresponding countermeasures, the masked man has not appeared again, but those enterprises that have been threatened before have been threatened for the second time, was someone called the threat, and even under the nose of the police, the person in charge of a company also received a box of bombs, causing a panic, the ultimatum guò police confirmed that it was a toy bomb, a false alarm, but this series of incidents occurred, but it was the guide that some companies withdrew from the bidding for the No. 8 plot, and finally with the efforts of Li Zheng and Chen Xing, they finally succeeded in persuading Guotian Group and the Zhao Group from Hong Kong not to withdraw the bid.
Guotian Group was persuaded by Li Zheng, Wang Dongchen also personally visited several times and personally apologized for several threats, as for the Zhao Group, it was the personal relationship between Chen Xingtong and Zhong Ling, so he reluctantly persuaded the other party to agree.
An hour before the announcement of the provisional standard, Chen Xing finally saw Zhong Ling, who rushed from Yangcheng to Ximen, the other party's face was a little haggard, compared to the appearance a while ago, he was a little thinner, and his chin was a little sharper, so that when Chen Xing saw the other party at first glance, he thought that the other party hadn't seen him for a while, and he had gone abroad for plastic surgery.
"This time, I risked my promise that you didn't withdraw the bid, and if something happens to my people, then I'll have to settle accounts with you." In Chen Xing's office, Zhong Ling and Chen Xing were joking, but there was also a bit of seriousness in their expressions, because of several threats, Zhong Ling had already planned to give up his investment in Ximen, and such an investment environment also made Zhong Ling feel uneasy about investing, if it weren't for Chen Xing's painstaking persuasion, coupled with the friendship between the two parties, Zhong Ling would definitely not agree.
"Don't worry, I've asked the Public Security Bureau to send someone to protect your safety 24 hours a day, if something happens to you, I, the deputy county magistrate, will take the blame and resign." Chen Xing said solemnly, this time, Zhong Ling really gave him a huge face, which is equivalent to gambling with his life, Chen Xing was secretly grateful to the other party in his heart, this love, he owed a lot, and he didn't even know how to repay the other party, as for the safety of Zhong Ling and his assistants and staff, Chen Xing paid more attention to it, for this matter, he and Lu Ming met several times, specializing in how to ensure the safety of Zhong Ling and others, and came up with a plan that they thought was perfect.
"I heard that in addition to our company, there is another company that has not given up?" Zhong Ling glanced at Chen Xing curiously, it was because of Chen Xing that she promised not to withdraw the bid, and there was another company that dared to ignore the threat to stay, which really surprised her.
"It's a company in the provincial capital, and it was the deputy county magistrate Li in the county who persuaded him for a long time before the other party agreed to stay." Chen Xing smiled bitterly.
Zhong Ling was also stunned when he heard the answer, then shook his head, and said with a smile, "It seems that the two companies that stayed this time were only saved by you to save face, and it is really hard for you to be leaders, and the leaders of other places are afraid that they are not as tired as you Ximen." ”
"It's nothing to be tired, this is a major event related to the development of Ximen, as long as we can retain some investment, there will be more hope for us in Ximen, the key is that the black hand behind the scenes has not been able to investigate the clues now, and I don't know who is doing bad from it." Chen Xing said indignantly.
"Could it be your local business in Ximen? They took a fancy to the best location of the No. 8 plot, and they didn't want to let companies from other places take advantage, so they used this kind of bad means? Zhong Ling wondered.
"It's impossible, the company bidding for the No. 8 plot this time does not have the enterprise in our county, to say that the largest enterprise in our county is the Wanlong Textile Company, which is an enterprise with an annual output of hundreds of millions, but they did not bid for the No. 8 plot, not to mention that they have plans to devote themselves to the real estate industry." Chen Xing frowned and vetoed.
"It's hard to say, anything can happen in the mall, whether they want to get involved in the real estate industry or not, they don't necessarily let you know, if they want the No. 8 plot, and don't want to pay a high price, they can use this bad means to squeeze all the competitors away, and then let the bidding abort, no one bids, your county must be anxious, and finally they can rely on the advantages of local enterprises to bargain with your county government, and win the land at a low price, which is completely possible." Zhong Ling analyzed matter-of-factly, until he saw Chen Xing looking at her strangely, he stopped the topic, and shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "I'm talking about it casually, it's purely personal speculation." ”
"No, you misunderstood me." Chen Xing shook his head with a smile, knowing that Zhong Ling had misunderstood his eyes, and said with a smile, "I was very touched by the radiant analysis just now, you are now completely a strong woman, the image of the former Teacher Zhong is gone, how can I not connect the former Teacher Zhong with the current President Zhong." ”
"People, there will always change, these few months, I may have experienced things that I can't experience in my life, just a few months, it can be said that I have experienced everything I should have experienced in the next few decades, and it is impossible to go back to the way it was before." Zhong Ling's gaze suddenly dimmed.
"Zhong Ling, I don't know what you've been through in the past few months, but we are good friends, if you really encounter any difficulties, I hope you can sue me, I will definitely help you if you can." Chen Xing looked at the other party seriously, he really felt that Zhong Ling had something hidden in his heart, but the other party never mentioned it, knowing that Zhong Ling must have something he didn't want to talk about, Chen Xing never asked.
"Okay, let's not talk about this, let's go to the venue, although this No. 8 plot is a hot potato, but no matter what, our company bids and hopes to take it down." Zhong Ling's face regained a smile, the brilliance of confidence was on his face, Chen Xing was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, women's minds are really difficult to fathom, they can change their minds and roles so quickly.
"Then I wish your company success." Chen Xing smiled and made a cheering gesture to the other party.
The two came to the hotel in a car, in order to avoid suspicion, the two of them each took their own cars, compared to Zhong Ling's Mercedes-Benz RV, Chen Xing's somewhat old Santana looked a little shabby.
At the door of the conference room, Chen Xing bumped into Lu Ming and couldn't help but stop, "How is the security arrangement of the venue today?"
"It's all arranged, it's absolutely foolproof, the whole hotel is monitored by our people, as long as any suspicious person appears, it will definitely appear as soon as possible." Lu Ming's face was solemn, "In the conference room, there are also a few plainclothes people, they will sit around President Zhong and Chairman Zhao, and protect their safety closely, and there will definitely be no mistakes." ”
"That's good, if there is any accident in this matter, then the reputation of our Ximen will really be a stinky street, and no one will dare to invest in the future, so you must be extra cautious." Chen Xing nodded.
"It's also strange to say, it stands to reason that the black hand behind the scenes was very active some time ago, and frequently came up with various means, how could it be that the company that was going to announce the winning bid in the past two days was approaching, but there was no movement, could it be that they wanted to brew a big move? It's going to be announced later.,After that time.,It's pointless for them to come up with any means.,Presumably there won't be any more action.,But before the announcement.,They should have action.,How do you seem to have disappeared.。 Lu Ming was puzzled.
"It's hard to say, I'm also confused now, I'm about to announce the results of the bidding, I don't have the heart to think about that, you must not take it lightly." Chen Xing said another sentence uneasily.
"Don't worry, I'm here today." Lu Ming nodded with a smile and pointed to the conference room, "There are still a few important people sitting inside, if something happens to them, our little director can't afford it, and the black gauze hat that I finally got in my hands may be about to fly." Lu Ming smiled and joked to himself, during this time, for the sake of this case, he was really aggrieved, and he was criticized by Wang Dongchen and Li Zheng several times, which made him, the newly appointed director of the public security bureau, very faceless, and his ability was also questioned by others, which made Lu Ming hold back a fire in his heart, and he was looking forward to whether he could find out the mastermind behind the scenes on the last day of today and spread the fire in his belly.
Chen Xing and Zhong Ling walked into the conference room one after another, the conference room was already full of many people, Li Zheng had already come to the conference room in advance, and sat with Zhao Guoli and a few people, Chen Xingchong nodded to a few people, and picked an empty seat to sit down.
The people in the conference room are not only the people of the Guoli Group and the Zhao Group, but also the people of other companies, today to announce the results of the winning bid is not only the No. 8 plot, there are several other plots will also be announced, the best location of the No. 8 plot is only the national power group and the Zhao Group two bids, several of the enterprises in the conference room were previously involved in the bidding of the No. 8 plot, because they were threatened, they gave up the No. 8 plot, the bidding for other plots, this will look at the two enterprises of the Guoli Group and the Zhao Group, There are also some people who gloat to see if something will happen to these two companies that dare to eat crabs.
In addition to the No. 8 plot, several other plots have announced the winning bidders, there was a burst of cheers from time to time in the conference room, as for the ownership of the No. 8 plot, it was left to be revealed at the end, Chen Xing glanced at Zhong Ling, who was sitting not far away, and the other party was staring confidently at the stage, as if feeling Chen Xing's gaze, Zhong Ling turned his head and nodded and smiled at Chen Xing.
"She's changed really too much." Chen Xing sighed in his heart, Zhong Ling's confidence and maturity were already like two people compared to the previous teacher Zhong with some cuteness, Chen Xing didn't know what Zhong Ling had experienced in a few months, and completed this kind of transformation that might take several years to qualitatively change.
Recruited, there was a slight sound from the place where Zhao Guoli and the others were sitting, Zhao Guoli and several people turned their heads to each other, their faces were a little nervous, and Li Zheng on the side went out to greet Lu Ming in.
Chen Xing was surprised for a moment, and stepped forward to see what was going on, Li Zheng's face was stern, nodded at Chen Xing, and said heavily, "Chairman Zhao, they have received threatening text messages again, claiming that if they don't give up, they will take their lives when they go out." ”
Chen Xing's face changed, and he exchanged glances with Lu Ming, the accident was more or less expected, and the black hand behind the scenes finally couldn't help but appear again before the target was announced.
Chen Xing hurriedly looked at Zhong Ling, and saw that Zhong Ling was sitting there and didn't react, but just looked over with a puzzled expression, Chen Xing was stunned, could it be that Zhong Ling didn't receive the text message?
"The Zhao Group also bidd, did their people receive threatening text messages?" Li Zheng turned his head to look at Lu Ming, who hurriedly walked to Zhong Ling's side to understand the situation.
After a moment, Lu Ming walked back with a puzzled expression, "It's strange, the people from the Zhao Group said that they didn't receive the short message, how could this happen." ”
"They didn't receive a text message? How can it be? Sun Xiang exclaimed, then his face changed, and he looked in the direction of Zhong Ling and the others, "Both companies bid for this No. 8 plot, but at the last moment, it was only my father and his company that were threatened, what does this mean?" Sun Xiang stared at Chen Xing, Lu Ming and the others with burning eyes, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.
"Sun Shao, this kind of thing can't be concluded without evidence, not to mention that the Zhao Group has been threatened several times before." Chen Xingzheng said.
"Who knows if that will be their own bitter ploy." Sun Xiang pursed his lips disapplausively.
"Li County, I think it's better to hold this meeting first, and everyone else has seen it, so as not to cause any bad influence." Chen Xing looked at Li Zheng, his heart was towards Zhong Ling, and he hurriedly diverted the topic.
"Yes, let's get the meeting down first." Li Zheng nodded, "Chairman Zhao, what do you mean?" ”
"Then let's go down first, I don't believe that the black hand behind this scene dares to do anything to me, I am going to take this No. 8 plot today to see who can kill me." Zhao Guoli waved his hand fiercely.
Li Zheng gestured to the host on the stage, and the other party immediately announced the start.
"The last remaining No. 8 plot, the bidding from the provincial capital of the Guoli Group and from Hong Kong Zhao Group, the winning bid." As the high-pitched voice on the stage sounded, Chen Xing's attention was also concentrated, despite what happened just now, Chen Xing still hoped that Zhong Ling's company would win the bid.
"The winning bid is the Guoli Group, 341 million." The host's loud voice finally sounded, and there was a burst of cheers from the place where Zhao Guoli and the others were sitting, Chen Xing looked over and looked at Zhao Guoli and the others who were celebrating, Chen Xing frowned slightly.
Turning his head to look around the conference room, Chen Xing's gaze swept over Zhong Ling's location, and he was slightly worried in his heart.
"The targets have been announced, and there is no point in what the mastermind behind the scenes does, but at the last moment of the announcement of the target, such a hand came, what do the people behind the scenes want to do?" Chen Xing frowned and pondered.
Walking forward to congratulate Zhao Guoli and a few people, Chen Xing said a few words of congratulations, and walked out of the conference room quickly, and when he passed by Zhong Ling, Chen Xing glanced at the other party.
