Chapter 439: My Heart Will Always Be Towards the Motherland
Returning to the district bureau, Du Dezhong and others were already waiting in Du Deyong's office. Cheng Liping shook hands with Zhou Jianjun, Zhou Shouchang, Uncle Ren, Bao Huiyan, Xie Heping and others, sat down on the chairs respectively, and said, "You are all my elders and old friends, so let's not be polite." The Hong Kong branch of LC Group has been closed, and I will relocate all my business contacts to the Caribbean in the future. However, I still hope to establish a good cooperative relationship with our local enterprises in Licheng. Uncle Ren, Mr. Zhou, I will trouble you two more in the future. ”
Uncle Ren and Zhou Shouchang didn't dare to treat Cheng Liping as a junior anymore, and said politely: "Yes, our company can make a comeback, all thanks to Liping's strong help." Otherwise, we would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago. ”
Uncle Ren even laughed and quipped: "By the way, Li Ping, Hongshan Winery still owes you more than 10 million yuan of grain, how about I donate this money to the Agricultural Foundation for you?" ”
Cheng Liping shook his head and said, "Subsidize the workers of the distillery, now that the prices have risen, we must ensure that their living standards do not fall." As for the Agricultural Support Fund, I have already allocated a sum of funds to the past. ”
Du Dezhong smiled: "This is not a small amount, I am nervous when I look at it." Fortunately, there are more than a dozen colleagues in the media industry supervising it, otherwise I really can't explain to you what happened. ”
Cheng Liping said: "Friends in the media industry? By the way, are they still in Licheng? ”
Du Dezhong looked at Li Yongzhong on the side. Li Yongzhong said: "It's all there." ”
Cheng Liping said: "Are there any reporters named Guo Tie and Huang Chengzhuo?" ”
Li Yongzhong didn't check any information at all, nodded immediately, and said, "It's also there." ”
Cheng Liping smiled: "Okay, please invite the two of them over." ”
Li Yongzhong immediately turned around and went out. After more than ten minutes, Huang Chengzhuo, who looked surprised, poked his head and walked in. Seeing so many people in the office, he retreated sharply. Guo Tie walked in with a smile, said hello to everyone, and looked at Cheng Liping deliberately, saying, "Mr. Cheng, long time no see." ”
Cheng Liping shook hands with him and quipped to Huang Chengzhuo in the back, "What's wrong, Mr. Huang?" Didn't you always stare at interviewing me? Now that you're given a chance, why are you so nervous? ”
Huang Chengzhuo sat down with his chest puffed up and said, "Who is nervous, I am not nervous." ”
The crowd laughed, because this statement was like a child lying, and he had to bite the bullet and refuse to admit it. However, all the people sitting there were acquaintances, and Cheng Liping didn't hide anything when he spoke, and they were all honest.
Speaking of his future stay, Cheng Liping said: "My focus will definitely shift to the Caribbean, but I don't want to give up my nationality and identity. So don't ask this question again today, and wait until the boss gives me a clear answer. My parents have lived in Licheng all their lives, I don't want them to leave their hometown with me, Uncle Ren, please get them a house near the winery, the kind of farmhouse in the past, let them grow vegetables, do some work in the winery, and live in peace, I feel full of hospitality. ”
Uncle Ren nodded and said, "No problem, you can rest assured." ”
Cheng Liping said: "I am still very satisfied with the operation of the Agricultural Support Fund in the past year and a half. However, Lao Du, you have been promoted, and the officials in charge of this fund in the later period have not yet been decided, and I hope that the media will unswervingly assume the responsibility of supervision and continue to make it run well. To tell you the truth, a few days ago, I transferred another sum of money in, and now the foundation has nearly two billion on its books. Today, I declare again that this money can only be used for agricultural subsidies, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to divert it for other purposes. ”
Guo Tie and Huang Chengzhuo couldn't help but shudder, after all, in foreign reports, Cheng Liping's reputation is not so good. The officials represented by Du Dezhong smiled bitterly, we shouted that the rule of law governs the country, and you kid will come to a sentence that does not follow the normal process. But if you think about it carefully, this money is from others, and it is reasonable for people to set their own rules. Moreover, there are so many officials who act arbitrarily because they have a little power in their hands, and when the supervision system and punishment mechanism are not fully mature, unconventional means are sometimes more effective.
At least Cheng Liping's words are placed here, and the next official to take over the foundation will definitely not dare to fight its idea.
chatted with these people until half past ten in the morning, and Lu Jianping called and said that Luo Guanzhong and Tao Wenjing still had something to talk to Cheng Liping about alone. Everyone present was very eye-catching and took the initiative to leave. Cheng Liping sent them out, and then he called back to Lu Jianping and asked them to come to Du Deyong's office.
Du Dezhong has been promoted to the head of the Su Xu National Security Department, and he has the qualifications to be present for exchanges in terms of rank and position, so he still stays in the office. When Luo Guanzhong and the three came to the office, Cheng Liping just beckoned, but Du Dezhong greeted them at the door and exchanged a few words with them. Lu Jianping looked at Cheng Liping angrily and said, "Xiao Cheng, you have such a big face, you will command so many heavyweights to toss back and forth when you go back to your hometown." ”
Cheng Liping smiled: "I'm also a king, according to the level, shouldn't they come here?" ”
Lu Jianping said: "Go, go, go." What a king, you are a small village head. ”
Cheng Liping didn't mind, and said with a smile: "The Vatican is not big, and the heads of state come to our side, and the standard of your reception is much higher than mine." ”
Lu Jianping was too lazy to talk to Cheng Liping, and said, "Okay, I know you have limited time, and after today's talk, we will go back to Beijing." It's all acquaintances, so you don't need to introduce it, right? Lao Luo, let's start. ”
Cheng Liping put on a deferential look, which made Luo Guanzhong very unaccustomed for a while. He nodded and said, "Xiao Cheng, the state can recognize your special status, and it can continue to reserve your nationality and residency for you, but after discussions with senior leaders, we still hope to have a small place on a certain island to support our scientific research cause." ”
Cheng Liping said with a smile: "Isn't it the development of the military industry?" ”
Luo Guanzhong said: "No. ”
Cheng Liping recalled Tian Bochun's words, pretended to think for a moment, and said, "Yes, I agreed." ”
Luo Guanzhong was stunned, as if he didn't expect Cheng Liping to agree so readily, and even turned his head to look at Lu Jianping. Lu Jianping said: "Xiao Cheng, if you agree, this is the first cooperation agreement signed between China and Hongdao, and it has legal benefits." ”
Cheng Liping nodded seriously and said, "I know." In fact, I have never forgotten that I am a Chinese. ”
Luo Guanzhong successfully completed the first task, and said with a pleasant smile: "Sure enough, the party and the country did not misunderstand you." ”
Cheng Liping waved his hand and said, "As long as it is beneficial to the development of the motherland and the people, I will always vigorously support it." But I also said ugly things in front, no one should intend to develop a military-industrial force on my island. Once it is monitored by satellites, it will be self-defeating at that time, and neither of us will be able to get off the stage. ”
Luo Guanzhong nodded yes. Cheng Liping said again: "Those islands belong to me, and the surrounding territorial sea rights naturally belong to me." Whether it's an exploration of mineral resources or a general marine life survey, please report to my functional department in advance. ”
Luo Guanzhong's face froze, obviously not so excited. Cheng Liping didn't care about him, and said, "Please continue." ”
Luo Guanzhong coughed twice and said, "I heard that Mr. Cheng reached an agreement with the Hong family in Hong Kong to develop the gaming industry on the island, I don't know if this news is true?" ”
Cheng Liping was stunned, this news is currently only known to him, Kang Yihui, and Kang Minshu, where did Luo Guanzhong know? However, thinking that he would vigorously promote his casino in the future, Cheng Liping nodded disapprerovitously and said, "There is this plan." ”
Luo Guanzhong said: "The identities of the people who come and go to the casino are very complicated. Xiao Cheng, we would like to arrange a few staff members to help out in your casino so that we can receive some updates, what do you think? ”
Cheng Liping smiled, what Luo Guanzhong said sounded good, but in fact, it was to install spy personnel to collect intelligence information from various countries. However, the agents of other countries are not vegetarians, and if the matter is revealed, they will also be unable to get out of the relationship. Seeing Cheng Liping hesitate, Lu Jianping explained: "Xiao Cheng, don't be careful. Even if we don't send people over, other countries will. In this way, we are one step behind others. ”
Cheng Liping thought for a few minutes and said, "Yes." But your staff should never leave the island without my permission. Otherwise, I would not guarantee the safety of their lives. Luo Guanzhong smiled bitterly, if his staff got a favorable clue and had to chase it out, would they be restrained alive like this? But Cheng Liping has already made concessions, if he insists on it any longer, it will provoke this young man to retract his promise.
Luo Guanzhong made eye contact with Lu Jianping, and finally nodded lightly, and said, "Okay, just follow your rules." But in the casino, you have to keep my people safe. ”
Cheng Liping smiled: "If they are discovered by the other party because they are on a mission, then I will not help each other." I have reiterated many times that my island is a permanently independent territory, and in international affairs I cannot lean towards either side. ”
Luo Guanzhong still wanted to fight for it, but Lu Jianping interjected: "I agree with Xiao Cheng's opinion. General Luo, go on. ”
Luo Guanzhong glanced at Lu Jianping puzzled, and saw that Lu Jianping's attitude was more resolute, so he could only continue: "In addition, if there are Chinese gamblers going to your casino, please send their information to the mainland in time." We must administer the party strictly and resolutely investigate and deal with the gambling behavior of all party members and leading cadres. ”
Cheng Liping refused without thinking about it. "General Luo, in casinos like Macau and Singapore, you don't have the ability to limit this, but you bring it up in my farthest place, isn't it difficult for a strong man? We have limited human resources to provide such a meaningless service. If you really want to control the occurrence of this phenomenon, it is better to strictly limit the behavior of party members and cadres going abroad. ”
Luo Guanzhong said: "This ......"
Cheng Liping ignored him and continued to ask, "Is there anything else?" ”
Luo Guanzhong shook his head and said, "That's all for now." ”
Cheng Liping stood up, walked slowly to the door, and suddenly turned around and said, "I promise this because I will always love my country." But that doesn't mean I love you people. The motherland and Hongdao are equal in my heart, so don't put forward any more restrictive conditions to me. Enough is enough, gentlemen. ”
