Chapter 281: The Last Deal
Jia Haoming waited in the office for another hour, but Zhou Junbo's call never came.
Seeing the night outside the window gradually thickening, Jia Haoming finally couldn't wait.
He grabbed his mobile phone again and sent a text message to Zhou Junbo: "Vice Mayor Zhou, do you really not mind if I hand over this real estate sales contract and the bribery account book to the relevant government departments?" β
After a few minutes, Zhou Junbo finally called back: "Okay, let's find a place to talk!" β
Jia Haoming said: "Yes, but the place must be determined by me." β
Zhou Junbo smiled, with a mocking tone: "What, scared?" β
Of course, Jia Haoming heard what he meant: "Of course, once you are bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of the well rope for ten years." Besides, I went to you last time, and this time, it's your turn. β
Zhou Junbo snorted: "Okay, you can name a place...... However, not too far. β
Jia Haoming remembered that he hadn't returned to the Marriott room just now, so he said, "Come to me, Marriott Hotel 408." β
Zhou Junbo thought about it for a while and agreed.
Half an hour later, Zhou Junbo's car stopped in front of the hotel.
However, he did not go to the room booked by Jia Haoming, but asked to open a new room.
Obviously, he can't trust Jia Haoming.
Jia Haoming remembered his ridicule just now, so he also teased: "Why, the dignified Deputy Mayor Zhou is also afraid of a common people under his rule?" β
Zhou Junbo snorted haha, and replied with a pun: "You are not an ordinary person, but a Diao people." β
Jia Haoming didn't want to fight with him, so he asked, "Okay, let's book a new room." β
β¦β¦
A few minutes later, the two of them walked into a business room on the fifth floor at the same time.
Zhou Junbo's outfit is still the same as the last time I saw Du Xiaowei. He was tightly wrapped from head to toe and wore sunglasses on his face.
Jia Haoming saw that he was so careful, and there was a look of disdain on his face.
A deputy mayor who guards the people like thieves. It is estimated that such an official is not a blessing for the people.
Zhou Junbo ignored what Jia Haoming thought, and still refused to take off his mask and sunglasses after sitting down.
Jia Haoming felt awkward: "Vice Mayor Zhou, there's no need for this, right?" β
Zhou Junbo said: "You kid is too cunning, maybe you have a camera hidden on you...... By the way, put your phone on the table for me to check and take out the bag......"
Jia Haomin sneered and put his phone and bag on the table. "Vice Mayor Zhou, you used to be a police officer, right? So cautious? β
Zhou Junbo said: "Like you, once you were bitten by a snake, you were afraid of the well rope for ten years. β
Jia Haoming grinned and remembered the recording.
Zhou Junbo checked his phone and bag, and then stared at his coat again.
Jia Haoming was very annoyed and felt that his dignity had been insulted. "Vice Mayor Zhou, you won't search me, will you?"
Zhou Junbo knew that this was a bit excessive, but he really couldn't trust Jia Haoming. After thinking about it, he said, "I won't search anymore...... However, your coat must be placed a little farther away. β
As he spoke, he gestured to a corner of the room. There, a tall hanger is arranged.
Jia Haoming had no choice but to agree.
He had something to ask him for today, so he had to be strong for the time being.
"That's okay, right?" Put away his coat, Jia Haoming looked sarcastic.
Zhou Junbo nodded and took off the sunglasses on his face. However, the mask is still worn. "Tell me, what do you want to do with all the trouble investigating me?"
Jia Haoming didn't reply, but took out a cigarette from his pocket and wanted to light it. Zhou Junbo immediately stopped and said: "Don't smoke!" β
Jia Haoming couldn't bear it: "Vice Mayor Zhou, please don't challenge my bottom line!" β
Zhou Junbo said: "Be careful to walk the ship of ten thousand years, I hope you can understand." β
Jia Haoming had no choice but to pinch the cigarette into powder.
Zhou Junbo said again: "In addition, don't have a deputy mayor, there is only Mr. Zhou here." β
Jia Haoming scolded in his heart: "Old fox! But he said in a weird way: "Okay, Mr. Zhou, it's time for us to talk about business." β
Zhou Junbo glanced at him: "Just now, I was already talking about business, and you were making a fork!" β
Jia Haoming had no choice but to say, "You know what I want...... Now, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is investigating the matter of counterfeit goods in Tengfei Company. I want you to say hi and tell them not to look it up. β
Zhou Junbo asked: "Then have you faked?" β
Jia Haoming looked at his mobile phone: "Can you turn off your mobile phone too?" β
Zhou Junbo grinned and turned off his phone.
"Let's be honest, the fraud has nothing to do with me. However, the material is what we provide. Jia Haoming said.
"So what are you afraid of? At most, it's just a penalty. Zhou Junbo didn't care.
"You said it lightly, that's not a decimal number!"
"Then tell me, how much is the fine?"
Jia Haoming stretched out five fingers: "It is estimated that it will not be less than 5 million!" β
Zhou Junbo frowned: "So, you sent a lot of materials to those black factories, right?" Besides, you won't be able to take out this money? β
Jia Haoming smiled bitterly: "In the past few months, the company has basically not made any money. It's good to be able to maintain it until now. What's more, this money is only a fine from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau......"
Zhou Junbo was stunned: "Who else is fined?" β
Jia Haoming said: "I am worried that once the industrial and commercial bureau finds out the problem, Tingxin will go to the court to sue us...... In this way, the compensation would be an astronomical ......"
When Zhou Junbo heard this, his face was full of mockery: "You are really good, what kind of fake donation did you make some time ago...... Now, it's a fake...... Ascendas is ruined in your hands. As he spoke, he let out a long sigh: "It's a pity, Zhu Xiaotian's hard work...... And his incompetence
daughter ......"
His words seemed to be emotional, but they deeply poked Jia Haoming's sore spot.
Jia Haoming didn't want to hear him continue, so he said: "Vice Mayor Zhou, for the sake of you and Mr. Zhu, for the sake of having a relationship with Mr. Zhu, can you help Tengfei Company?" β
Zhou Junbo said: "I have helped you a lot, and I can't interfere in this matter anymore." β
Jia Haoming asked, "Why?" β
Zhou Junbo said: "The last time the Environmental Protection Bureau happened, the municipal party committee began to suspect me. If I interfere in the affairs of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau again, I am afraid that I will not be able to protect myself. Besides, the central inspection team may come to Haizhou at any time, and I have to leave a way back for myself. β
Jia Haoming asked disappointedly: "Then do you care whether Tengfei Company lives or dies?" β
Zhou Junbo could hear the threat in his words. After a moment's thought, "I can help you again, but you must give me the book and the contract of sale and purchase of the house." β
Jia Haoming hesitated: "I can give it to you, but it will have to wait until it is done." β
Zhou Junbo disagreed: "You said the same thing last time, I won't believe your words anymore." β
Jia Haoming said coldly: "I don't believe you even more. You will release my pigeon in my possession, and if it is given to you, who shall I go to? β
Zhou Junbo stared at Jia Haoming with sharp eyes: "I can also walk away now." Do you really think you can bring me down with a book of accounts and a contract? β
Jia Haoming met his gaze and said mockingly: "Really? I think so! β
Zhou Junbo laughed: "It's so naΓ―ve! Then, leaning up to him, he whispered, "Tell you a secret, and you may be disappointed......"
As he spoke, he took out a copy of the divorce certificate from his bag and handed it to Jia Haoming.
"Look, my wife and I divorced five years ago. Everything in your account book is my wife's collection, and it has nothing to do with me! β
Jia Haoming's heart sank, but he immediately laughed again: "Do you think I will believe you?" This kind of fake certificate can be done for 200 yuan on the street! β
Zhou Junbo snorted proudly: "You can go to the website of the Civil Affairs Bureau to check it and see if I am fake." β
Zhou Junbo's words reminded Jia Haoming. He happened to bring a notebook with him, so he immediately decided to look it up on the Internet.
Sure enough, there was information about the divorce of the two, and, as he said, it was a certificate that was done five years ago.
Jia Haoming's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Actually, where does he know. All of this was done by him two months ago.
As a deputy mayor, I still have this ability.
Zhou Junbo saw Jia Haoming's depressed expression and was very proud. "Well, I didn't lie to you, did I?"
Jia Haoming was unwilling to fail, and asked calmly: "Since you have divorced your wife, why do you still live with her?" Moreover, it has been hidden from the outside world? β
Zhou Junbo smiled: "Because I don't want my daughter to know, I'm afraid that she will be hurt." Moreover, divorce also has an impact on one's own image. β
His words were reasonable, and Jia Haoming had nothing to say for a while.
However, he could not accept this fact. The evidence that he spent a lot of money to find turned into a piece of waste paper in an instant.
"Vice Mayor Zhou, you are amazing! Taking precautions is much better than Secretary Yan on the Internet. β
Jia Hao stretched out his thumb to Zhou Junbo, with a mockery in his tone.
"I still have a question, though. Now that you're all clean, why did you risk being recognized to come here to meet me? β
Zhou Junbo smiled slightly, looking very calm.
He had long known that Jia Haoming would ask this, so he had been prepared. "It's simple. Because I'm a public figure. Even if these things have nothing to do with me, speaking out will still have an impact on my reputation. So, of course, it's better to get it back. β
Jia Haoming heard him say the reason so magnificently, and couldn't help sneering: "Vice Mayor Zhou, you are really good at talking." β
However, mockery is mockery.
At this time, he no longer has the confidence he had at the beginning.
Zhou Junbo didn't seem to mind his words: "Okay, let's stay away again, let's continue to talk about business, right?" β
Jia Haoming teased: "You've talked about this, what else do we have to talk about?" β
Zhou Junbo said: "Of course there is, I have already said that as long as you give me the account books and contracts, I can still help you once!" β
Jia Haoming raised his eyebrows: "You mean, you can stop the investigation of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau?" β
Zhou Junbo shook his head: "No, I can't stop it." β
Jia Haoming was very disappointed. "And how can you help me?"
Zhou Junbo stared at Jia Haoming: "I can give you a sum of money to ensure that Tengfei Company will not die." I think it's more useful than saying hello to the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. β
Jia Haoming weighed it and felt that it was okay.
Now, Ascendas doesn't have much money on its books. Even if the Industrial and Commercial Bureau does not impose penalties, it will be difficult to continue.
So, what he needs most at the moment is money. Guan Jian is, how much can Zhou Junbo give?
Zhou Junbo said: "One price, 20 million!" β
