Chapter 492: Internal and External Troubles

In the huge study, Ding Yuzhi sat on the Taishi chair, speechless, let the light in the study be soft and brilliant, but it was impossible to hide the haze between his eyebrows, and he had already quit smoking, and he lit a Brazilian cigar for the first time, with a mellow taste of smoke rising and swirling over the study, the flickering cigarette butts, which seemed to confirm Ding Yuzhi's troubled thoughts at this time.

And a pair of men and women in their fifties sitting opposite him also seemed to smell a hint of danger, and they couldn't help but get nervous. The man also kept smoking cigarettes, one after another, and soon more than a dozen cigarette butts appeared on the ground, but he still did not have the slightest intention of stopping, but became more nervous, looking at Ding Yuzhi with dead eyes, waiting for him to explain everything with anxiety.

This man is none other than Ling Wei, the current general manager of Watson Petroleum and the eldest son-in-law of the Ding family.

Ling Wei's father is also one of the founding fathers, although not as good as Wang Ding, he is also one of the famous figures, once served as a member of the Politburo and head of the Central Organization Department, and was one of the 25 major cadres of the Central Committee, but he died before the Cultural Revolution ended, and the Ling family was no longer in glory. The reason why Ling Wei was able to serve as the general manager of Huasheng Petroleum at the deputy ministerial level was because he was the eldest son-in-law of Old Man Ding.

And the woman beside him is naturally Ling Wei's wife, Ding Yushan, the eldest daughter of Old Man Ding.

The reason why Ling Wei and Ding Yushan sat here in such a hurry was because a series of actions by the central government made him a little panicked.

Just after the New Year of 1997, the State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Further Improving the Reform of State-Owned Enterprises and the Mechanism for Guaranteeing the Laid-off and Unemployed."

Unlike in the past, this document is not a general conceptual document, but a long-term development plan for the various problems that have emerged in the reform of state-owned enterprises and the guarantee of laid-off unemployed persons in great detail.

At the same time, in order to implement these plans, the central government also established the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on the basis of the former Ministry of Labor. The work of the newly established Ministry of Labour and Social Security has been specified in detail. The detailed rules contain nearly 1,000 articles and describe in great detail the powers and responsibilities of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security, which is very different from the vague functions and powers of the Ministry of Labor in the past.

At the same time, the new Ministry of Labor and Social Security not only standardizes the national standards for domestic occupational classification and vocational skills, but also formulates basic rules for the adjustment of labor relations, and actively protects and protects the rights and interests of workers. For the first time, the basic policies and standards of social insurance for old-age care, unemployment, medical care, work-related injury and maternity have been refined, and the organization has been organized, supervised, and inspected.

In the past, the Labor Bureau focused on the labor aspect, and many systems were only a formality to a large extent, and there were cases, but most of them were a kind of rectification after surprise inspections, and there were even fewer cases that were actually punished by the relevant systems. Now, a more comprehensive and transparent worker security sequence has been introduced, requiring all enterprises, whether state-owned or private, large companies or individual economies, to sign labor contracts and purchase social insurance for workers, otherwise they will be severely punished. There is no doubt that this is a sea change.

Although the Ministry of Labor and Social Security does not have real authority to deal with personnel, everyone knows what it means to be criticized or even warned by being circulated. Because the central government clearly requires that all enterprises and institutions must strictly refer to the contents of all kinds of assessments, taxation and annual examinations. In particular, the three circulars will ban the company's hard and fast regulations, which shocked many people in a cold sweat.

In short, the newly established Ministry of Labor and Social Security represents a new level of protection and guarantee for workers in the state.

And the first minister of the newly formed Ministry of Labor and Social Security was Ma Dongtao, a representative figure of the Wang family.

Ma Dongtao is nearly 60 years old, old and strong, and relatively strong, but his political consciousness is still relatively sensitive after being tempered over the years. He had served as a deputy minister in the Ministry of Labor for many years, and originally thought that at his age, he would stand on the last shift and then retire with honor, and there was no possibility of correcting him. I didn't expect that it would be just the right time, catch up with the trip, and at the end of the day, I can still wither trees and spring, since I was the new official who took office with three fires, I did my best, and naturally I wanted to make some achievements.

Although the establishment of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security has attracted great attention in the political circles at home and abroad, and many people with lofty ideals applauded it, in fact ordinary people have not paid much attention to it. After all, in this year, there have been a lot of thunder and rain, and no matter how beautiful it is, it can't be true, otherwise it can only be the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

This also helped Ma Dongtao to a certain extent, if there was a big move at the beginning, then it was a difficult problem to make up his mind to rectify this area at great political risk, or to endure it. And the current step-by-step process coincides with Leng Binghan's original thinking.

On the day the document was transmitted, in accordance with the requirements of the central authorities, the propaganda departments of all provinces, municipalities, and municipalities and the newly reorganized labor and social security bureaus also introduced measures one after another, printed and distributed various pamphlets to all cities and counties, and demanded that all cities and counties give in-depth publicity to the new system and functions so that the new system and functions can be accepted and understood by the grassroots cadres and the masses in the shortest possible time.

The promulgation of the document and the measures of the central government have made everyone know that this time the central government is in earnest.

The promulgation of this document caused a sensation throughout the country, and the People's Times published a commentator's article applauding it loudly, calling it a model of truly "governing for the people." Many foreign media also believe that this is a sign that the new generation of CCP officials has begun to explore more enlightened democratic politics, and at the same time, it also symbolizes that Chinese mainland has more human rights, more democracy, and more integration with international standards.

When everyone was talking about this matter, no one knew that the driving force behind it was Leng Binghan, a boy who was less than twenty years old.

Of course, even if there is no cold appearance, according to the track of historical development, in March 98, the central government will set up the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on the basis of the former Ministry of Labor, but without the attention of the chief and the mention of Leng Binghan's experience from the previous life, many problems and systems are far less thorough than this time, which may also be the butterfly effect brought about by the cold and cold.

However, although these things are important, the relationship with Ling Wei's Watson Oil is not too big, and it will not make him unable to sit still at all, and he will go straight to the capital from the west with his wife.

At the same time as the new document was issued and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security was formed, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Planning Commission, the Audit Bureau, and other departments formed a joint investigation team and also went to various large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises to conduct investigations.

All large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises can be said to have been completely shocked by this survey.

The survey has not been unheard of before, but on such a large scale, it covers almost all large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, even state-owned enterprises directly under the province and various ministries and commissions. The joint investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Audit Bureau and other departments is unprecedented. Hundreds of investigation teams, including auditors and accountants, immediately took over the accounts of the financial, production, sales, administration, and procurement departments of various enterprises, and conducted statistics and investigations on the financial and asset data of recent years.

As soon as many people saw this posture, they instinctively told themselves that something bad was going to happen, and Ling Wei knew that the investigation team had already stayed at the Watson Hotel at the headquarters of Watson Petroleum, and this was the posture to investigate to the end.

Moreover, Ling Weixiao can be regarded as the son-in-law of the capital, and he also holds the title of son-in-law of the Ding family, and he has met a lot of powerful relationships over the years. But this time, no matter how much he inquired, he couldn't hear anything of value, which made him even more bottomless.

For a time, the domestic turmoil was surging, and the situation began to be confusing, as if a storm was brewing in a storm.

"Ugh." Before Ding Yuzhi could speak, he let out a long sigh, and his sigh contained endless distress and helplessness, and after a long time, he said slowly, "I think it's better to give up Watson Oil now." ”

Ling Wei and Ding Yushan were stunned when they heard this, and then there was a hint of reluctantly suppressed disbelief on their faces, and Ding Yushan was even more surprised: "Second brother, how can this be done?" ”

Although Ling Wei didn't say anything, the expression on his face also showed that the anxiety and shock in his heart were no less than his wife's.

Ding Yuzhi took in the changes in the expressions of the two of them, and sighed dejectedly, "I know you are all unwilling, to be honest, I am also unwilling." But sometimes, many things don't move by our will. all these years. Our Ding family is very beautiful, and no one can match the limelight, making a sound, even the supreme leader, has to think twice, do you know why? ”

Ling Wei and Ding Yushan looked at each other, and they didn't know what Ding Yuzhi meant by saying this at this time.

Ling Wei pondered for a while, and said tentatively: "Because our Ding family is high-ranking and powerful, it is a famous family, and the old man is still alive, so others have to respect it. ”

Ding Yuzhi looked at Ling Wei and frowned.

Every time he looked at Ling Wei's face, a trace of disgust would always rise in his heart, and this feeling made her very uncomfortable.

In fact, Ling Wei's face is not so hateful, on the contrary, he is tall and dignified, and he also pays great attention to appearance, which makes people feel that this person is solemn and heavy, but Ding Yuzhi just doesn't like him.

Ding Yuzhi couldn't tell why he hated Ling Wei so much, maybe Ling Wei was just a middle-aged son, although he married the Ding family and married his sister, but in his mind, he was always just an outsider.

The more high-ranking the family, the more important it is to the inheritance of the bloodline. Including his sister, as long as he marries, he is an outsider. If it weren't for the fact that Ling Wei was still useful to the Ding family, I'm afraid Ding Yuzhi wouldn't even bother to talk to him.

Ding Yuzhi shook his head and said, "What about a famous family is just a statement to comfort yourself." Indeed, the old man is still alive now, but sooner or later, his old man will die one day, what should we do at that time? ”

Ding Yuzhi looked sad, and then said: "Don't look at the infinite scenery of our Ding family, but in fact, it is full of crises, internal and external troubles, and recently it is just cold, which has made us anxious." Ding Yuzhi had infinite emotion in his expression, and when he mentioned the three words "cold and cold", there was an irrepressible hatred between his eyebrows.

"Cold?" Ling Wei suddenly heard this strange and familiar word. For a while, I was in a trance. With a look of confusion in his eyes, he muttered. "Second brother, won't you? Is this cold cold really so powerful? ”

"Hmph, you can afford this cold too much, right? If it weren't for the Wang family behind him, he would have the courage to do these things? Ding Yushan said angrily.

After Ling Wei took a few puffs of cigarette in a row, he threw the cigarette butt on the floor, stretched out a big foot wearing leather shoes, stepped on the cigarette butt fiercely, breathed a long sigh of relief, looked up at Ding Yuzhi suddenly, and said excitedly: "Second brother, do you think this time will the Wang family also plan to deal with us behind our backs?" ”

Ding Yuzhi thought about it and shook his head again, he hadn't thought about this possibility, but he also felt that the possibility was too small.

The disagreement between the Wang and Ding families is well known, but if it is for the sake of Zha Lingwei, there are too many enemies, even if the power of many families is gradually falling, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the chaotic ship has 3,000 nails, if it really wants to provoke the anger of the public, the Wang family will not be able to cover it no matter what. At such a sensitive time, how could the Wang family choose to start an all-out war with the Ding family and even other families for the sake of a cold and cold? Putting yourself on the opposite side of all the powers?

Ling Wei and Ding Yushan looked at each other, if it wasn't the Wang family's plan, then what was going on this time? The two of them only felt a little unbelievable.

"Ling Wei, you'd better resign!" Ding Yuzhi said slowly, and his calm voice drilled into Ling Wei's head word by word.

Ling Wei's body trembled visibly, and his eyebrows raised.

This sentence shows Ding Yuzhi's attitude very clearly.

"Second brother, that ...... The money...... What to do? Ding Yushan stammered.

You must know that Watson Petroleum is a large state-owned company with tens of thousands of employees, and in its heyday, the annual output value was tens of billions, and since Ling Wei took charge of Watson Petroleum, the Ding family has taken away billions of money from Watson Petroleum in recent years. Of course, some of them also fell into the small treasury of Ling Wei and Ding Yushan. Although the accounts are mediocre, it seems that there is no problem in the slightest. But fake accounts are fake accounts after all, and no matter how clean they are, they will not help, and in front of those auditors and accountants, they will inevitably show some sloppiness.

"I'll figure out how to deal with money. Make up for what you can make up, and talk about what you can't. Ding Yuzhi sighed softly.

He also knew the importance of Watson Oil to the Ding family, and even more knew that with Ling Wei's stubborn character, this breath was really difficult to swallow. Giving up Watson Oil will not only deal a heavy blow to the Ding family, but also make it worse while overseas companies are being sniped by unknown forces, and the problems exposed may also trigger a series of cascading effects.

But what if you don't give up? The consequences of not giving up are even more serious, and if you really insist on doing it yourself, things will really get out of control.

"In this matter, I will ask the old man to come forward...... Ding Yuzhi sighed and said.

This matter has reached this point, and it seems that it is not possible for the old man not to come forward.

"Old man?" Ding Yushan's heart was as if she had been hit by a sledgehammer, and she trembled for a while, but she was also a little like she was in a dream. His face turned pale suddenly, and even in the well-soundproofed study, he lowered his voice and said, "Is this matter really to the point of alarming the old man?" ”

Ling Wei also became more and more puzzled, "It's not so serious, is it?" Surveys like this have not been unheard of before. Why are you so jealous? Isn't it too unfounded? ”

"Worrying about the sky?" Ding Yuzhi's eyes showed a deep mockery, and he said earnestly: "This time the movement is so big, the wind and waves are urgent, do you still think it is like before?" ”

Ding Yuzhi's expression became more and more solemn, "Ling Wei, let me tell you very clearly, it is still unknown whether I can ensure that you can get out smoothly this time." I hope the old man's face can still work. ”

Ding Yuzhi paused, and said in a deep voice: "This is an extraordinary time, I hope everyone can be more restrained and don't cause any trouble." After saying that, he stared at Ling Wei's pale face with bright eyes, and his tone increased a little.

After the last collision with the Wang family, the back garden of the Ding family was a mess, the loss was huge, and the influence in the Politburo has fallen to the lowest point in history.

It is difficult to surprise the changes in current affairs and political situations, although the situation can only be developed in balance, and it is impossible for anyone to cover the sky with one hand! Ding Yuzhi is not worried about the dominance of the Wang family, but since Leng Binghan stepped in, the situation has become more subtle, it seems that this stinky boy is the nemesis of the Ding family, and every time he can't encounter anything good, not only is the shipping company gone, but the southeastern provinces have been invaded by various forces that have been snooping for a long time, and overseas forces are also being sniped at the same time. It can be said that the current Ding family is really in internal and external difficulties, if it weren't for the fact that the Wang family has such a huge energy, Ding Yuzhi really thought that these were all conspiracies and plans that the Wang family was worried about.

"Second brother, then Ling Wei will be fine, right?" Ding Yushan's voice trembled a little, and Ling Wei's eyes also had a deep sense of unease.

Ding Yuzhi said slowly: "It's okay, there is still the old man, our Ding family has not collapsed!" ”

Ding Yushan nodded with a blank expression, but she always felt in her heart that the second brother, who had always admired her, no longer had a sonorous and powerful momentum in her words this time, and she could no longer give herself that feeling of peace of mind.
