Chapter 127: Officials and Merchants (2-in-1 chapter, there are a few monthly passes to support you, thank you!) )
Sheng Zhi is very anxious, no matter what, he is the Standing Committee of the State and Municipal People's Congress, and his ranking in the state and city is not ordinarily high, plus he is the oldest, and his words still have some weight. But the matter of building the road has always been pressing on his heart, both public and private, and if this matter is not solved, it will be difficult to sleep and eat for a day. At this time, he was meeting with Hong Kong businessman Fu Jun in a private room of the Neptune Hotel in the center of the city. Of course, this meeting was unofficial.
"Director Huang, what's wrong today? Call me out in such a hurry? I've already implemented the matter on your side, and now it's up to you to do it, is there any good news? Fang Fujun, who was in the middle of the year, asked with a smile while pouring wine. The gentle posture makes people look at the image of a successful entrepreneur.
"The four sets of classes of the city bureau held a meeting again today for the road repair, and the content of the meeting was similar to the past, all of which were to discuss the conditions proposed by the general manager of the measurement party!" Huang Shengzhi went straight to the point, he didn't dare to talk about anything, otherwise, Fang Fujun couldn't do without helping his two children study in Japan in the first place. After all, I have made a lot of contributions to the country, and I am about to retire, and I am so sorry for myself that the matter of the two children has not been resolved. Huang Shengzhi is naturally very clear about what he is doing now, although there is no big deal, but after all, it is not a glorious thing, and it also violates the regulations, if it were not for the fact that his two uncompetitive sons studied abroad, Huang Shengzhi would not go to this troubled water even if he was so poor that he starved to death.
"Oh?" Fang Fujun's hand pouring wine paused, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he raised his head and hurriedly asked, "Director Huang, is there any progress?" "In general. If the meeting is inconclusive, it is normally a phone call, and there is no need to make a personal trip. Fang Fujun was clear. Director Huang was reluctant to appear on such an occasion. Unless something unexpected happens at the meeting. But what else is there to expect from this kind of thing? It's just one or two more competitors, one or two more survey targets, and it doesn't pose any threat at all. Who can be like him, who can connect with Huang Shengzhi, the director of the National People's Congress, and get some information from it, and prescribe the conditions that are most beneficial to him and can attack with the strongest attitude? And this kind of thing has already been discussed by telephone, but at this time, Huang Shengzhi chose not to notify by phone, but chose to meet. Fang Fujun's heart is already eighty percent sure, and he is sure that there will be progress in this meeting.
"Nope! Now something is wrong. Huang Shengzhi's words made Fang Fujun's hand shake for a while, these Huang Shengzhi saw it in his eyes, but he had to let him tell him truthfully, if it wasn't for this kind of thing, the phone call was not clear (after all, he was a big director, and it was not a matter for him to always talk to foreign businessmen on the phone like this). And I was also very anxious in my heart, thinking that I would implement the road repair as soon as possible, so as to avoid some unexpected situations such as sideways branches. Otherwise, he wouldn't want to make such a trip. Moreover, this hotel is already one of the best in the city, and if you are accidentally seen by others, it will be difficult to explain yourself.
"Actually, it's nothing, everything was normal for today's meeting, but there was an accident at the end. An assistant mayor in Beijing who came to take up a temporary post first took the initiative to ask for a target for recruiting foreign businessmen! After Huang Shengzhi finished speaking, his brows furrowed. He knows a little bit about this assistant mayor. Isn't there an old man who is waiting for a general in the General Staff? And the relationship between this general doesn't seem to be very good, and he came to FJ for a temporary post, but he didn't help to get some money. Huang Shengzhi asked himself. If he encounters a temporary post, he will have to ask for more money to bring his son down. And people like General Chen Zhaojun will not help people who ask for money. Either they are more rigid in their thinking and will never have any contact with foreign businessmen, or they are not familiar with many relevant departments at all, which will not have any contact with foreign businessmen, so there is no need to worry about anything at all. It's just that Fang Fujun took care of the matter of helping his two children study abroad so well, and now that he has done this, he can only continue with trepidation, hoping that the road construction will be implemented as soon as possible, and then retire quickly. Therefore, Huang Shengzhi also tried to provide more information as much as possible, so that Fang Fujun could control the overall situation in an all-round way and speed up his pace.
"Oh? An assistant to the mayor? What is the background? Director Huang, tell me about it. Fang Fujun asked nervously, the mayor's assistant is nothing, the key is to look at his family Beijing, if there is a foreign minister and vice minister in their family, then this matter will be more difficult to do. However, Fang Fujun was not too worried in his heart, after all, foreign businessmen who could really go to the city and city to build roads would not have much strength, and without strength, there would not be many good conditions. He himself is completely sure of the conditions he proposes to the state.
"All I know is that he was always a major general in the General Staff, and he was the first division commander of the 1st Special Division. Moreover, he always seems to be ......" Huang Shengzhi said this and didn't say any more, because the words after that were all his own guesses and were not within the scope of informing. If he said it, on the one hand, he was worried that his guess was wrong, and on the other hand, he was worried that on the basis of the wrong guess, Fang Fujun would be lax, then as a result, Fang Fujun was negligent and did not pay attention to this aspect of the matter, and there were complications, and Fang Fujun's road could not be repaired, then he would definitely be unhappy, and even ...... Some of the results are not something you can imagine.
However, since Fang Fujun heard this, he naturally wouldn't let him miss anything, and hurriedly asked: "Director Huang, you are older than me after all, in my opinion, your analytical ability is definitely stronger than mine!" Tell me, what's wrong with him? So that I can avoid detours, right? Fang Fujun knew that Huang Shengzhi had some more critical information that he hadn't said, so he hurriedly urged, but his way of speaking was very tactful, on the one hand, he took care of Huang Shengzhi's ground, and on the other hand, Huang Shengzhi couldn't refuse.
As a result, Huang Shengzhi, who was very cool on his face, had no choice but to express his meaning relatively tactfully: "Chen Zhao."
Those who have been transferred by the central government are cadres on temporary duty in prefectures and cities. However, he is only a young man, what is the ability to be the assistant to the mayor? And he didn't bring any money, so I think he always seems to be ...... It's more rigid or has no connections! Huang Shengzhi's previous words were completely used to guide Fang Fujun to think about "gilded cadres", and only later did he say his guess, he believed in the wisdom of Fang Fujun. It shouldn't be able to tell.
"Major General, seventeen or eighteen years old, assistant to the mayor? Don't have any connections? Fang Fujun muttered. Only then did he frown and shook his head and said, "No, if it's a 'gold-plated cadre', he doesn't need to take the initiative to ask for help, is it impulsive?" Director Huang, tell me about all his performances since he was transferred. I think, he should be the ** who was transferred by Yang some time ago. "Huang Shengzhi still underestimated Fang Fujun's caution, who is Fang Fujun? Since he was smuggled to Hong Kong from FJ Province in 74, he has been working hard in Hong Kong for more than ten years, in his opinion. Now the country is the best opportunity to make money, and it only needs a little means to make a lot of money. What's more, now that the country is in the midst of reform and opening up, there is no money in your pocket. As a foreign businessman, where is he not popular in China?
However, Huang Shengzhi still likes Fang Fujun's caution. When even he told everything he knew, including his guesses: "Hmm! I also thought about what you just said, and he didn't need to take the initiative to ask for help. However, since Chen Zhaojun took up his post as assistant to the mayor, he has always done his own thing, and he rarely participates in such meetings, and even if he does, he never speaks. This time it appeared so suddenly, I think it may be that their family put some pressure on him about merit. And he is only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old child, who doesn't know how to analyze, and grabs a task to get on. So ......"
"So he must have been on the spur of the moment! Well! Right! What Director Huang said is very reasonable, according to these facts. Ten percent of it was his impulse! But...... I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case, I should investigate these myself! Hehe, you know, I've always done things like this, and I'm more wary, this shortcoming...... I've always wanted to change it, but I just can't! By the way, Director Huang, tell me everything you know and tell me the truth. I can investigate more based on these circumstances, so as not to waste more effort and delay the progress of the matter! Fang Fujun interrupted Huang Shengzhi's speculation very tactfully and said that he didn't want to listen to Huang Shengzhi's analysis at all, he was a businessman, and a businessman had his own set of logical means. In this regard, no matter how big Huang Shengzhi is, his ideas are definitely not as good as his own (at that time).
Huang Shengzhi didn't hear anything at all, to say that this Fang Fu Jun is indeed very good at being a person, and he has a very accurate grasp of Huang Shengzhi's pulse, knowing that Huang Shengzhi is about to retire, he wants to help him make something, and he cares most about the two of them. Now is the most popular era to study abroad, and Japan has been booming and thriving in recent years, after both of his children have obtained the qualification to study in Japan, Huang Shengzhi also began to reveal some secrets he knew to Fang Fujun, so as to implement this matter as soon as possible, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace. Therefore, Fang Fujun sent Huang Shengzhi's two sons to Japan to study at the beginning, and Huang Shengzhi could not refuse this condition alone. Moreover, Fang Fujun also attached a series of small conditions, and identified Huang Shengzhi's weaknesses in every aspect, making Huang Shengzhi even more "hard-working". What's more, Fang Fujun speaks very round and smooth, not only letting Huang Shengzhi help with things, but also not leaving him behind, this is the highest level of business (Huang Shengzhi didn't know that he was being used as a gun, and still thought that he was just an equivalent exchange).
"Hehe, that's all I know!" Huang Shengzhi smiled and took a sip of wine before he said, he was also very relieved about Fang Fujun's work, everything was done without leakage, and cooperating with this kind of person could avoid some unnecessary accidents to the greatest extent.
"Hmmm! I will investigate these things, please help me pay more attention to Chen Zhaojun, we really can't have any accidents in this matter! Hehe! Fang Fujun smiled and took a sip of wine and said, he analyzed that Chen Zhaojun either has a certain close relationship with some relevant powerful political figures, and can pull in competitors who are relatively unfavorable to him, or he knows some foreign businessmen by chance, if it is the latter, then I am afraid it will be more troublesome, which depends on the relationship between Chen Zhaojun and the foreign businessmen he knows.
"I hope I'm all soldiers!" After this short meeting, Fang Fujun began to make phone calls and arranged all the series of investigations. In fact, he can't help but be nervous about this matter, although he has worked hard in Hong Kong for many years, he only has a few small money, and he can't become a big climate at all. After all, anyone can imagine. A small trader smuggled into Hong Kong from FJ has been setting up a stall in Hong Kong for many years, or doing other small businesses. There is no way to have such huge assets, and at best, you can live a relatively nourishing life in China. This time, he has invested a lot of money, buying expensive suits, going in and out of high-end hotels, etc., and has spent a lot of his savings, and if he continues to toss like this, I am afraid that he will have to borrow money to live. Therefore, he must not allow anyone to stand in the way of road construction, even a small person. It is also necessary to investigate clearly. Moreover, he is still very aware of the energy possessed by these ** in China, don't look at some people who are usually inconspicuous, but when they really act, no one can figure out what means they have. How capable it is.
And these are the main reasons why he proposed that he must start charging fees and build on the original roadbed as soon as he builds, and he doesn't have much money. It only has the name of "Fu Jun Construction Company" in Hong Kong. He's now
Yes, it is completely risk-free to take over the road construction project and distribute it to some domestic builders to collect money and pay for it, and it is worth spending a little "small money" (for the big money in the future, it is now his net worth) to dress up. To say that there is a risk, in fact, it is not big, it is nothing more than being discovered by the state in advance as a leather bag company. If you don't give the project, it's a big deal to go to Hong Kong to set up a stall, and everything you have invested so far will be treated as a chic one. Anyway, no matter how you look at it, it's a no-brainer transaction. As for being discovered after getting the project, there was no way back at that time. The country can definitely only bite the bullet and let himself continue to do it, even if he is held responsible, there is a contract in hand, the country has nothing to do with him, and his base camp is not in the country, if he tears his face, it is a big deal to pat his ass and leave, how much money can be charged, and if Hong Kong cannot develop, he will go to Japan and the United States, which is also his advantage in terms of responsibility.
Fang Fujun has always been looking forward to this, and the appearance of Chen Zhaojun this time really made him break out in a cold sweat. After all, a lot of investment has been made, and the future prospects are also brilliant, if you fail, you will be in big trouble.
。。。
Since the Plaza Accord, there has been a whirlwind of real estate in Japan, the price of real estate has been rising, and the scope of the city has been expanding and expanding, and the expansion of the city has even increased tenfold in a few years, so that the original suburbs of the city have become the current urban center.
There is a very strange phenomenon in the Japanese real estate industry, where real estate is so popular that almost every real estate developer will build a building on it after buying a plot of land, and then sell it for a profit. But in the center of almost every city, there are several small plots of land resting there, and if it were not for the government's image as a city and people were sent to repair it from time to time, it is estimated that the grass there would have grown to the height of a person. Not many people know what these plots are about, and since the expansion, there have been quite a few discerning developers who have come up with ideas for these plots, but all of them have come to naught, and they haven't even figured out who these lands belong to. Nowadays, the original suburbs have become a bustling city center, and these areas are more and more obstructive, even short-sighted real estate developers have seen extremely lucrative benefits.
Often, the unknown is the most interesting, and these lands have been shelved there, which has made some interested real estate developers inquire about some information about these lands. The results of this information are surprising, as the land belongs to the same real estate company and was purchased in the same year as the Plaza Agreement. Careful people also calculated an account for it, if they sell these lands now, it will definitely make this obscure real estate company among the top ten real estate companies in Japan at present. However, no one who knows this news believes that this real estate company will short-circuit and choose to sell now, because from the current development of Japan, the price of Japan's real estate industry will definitely continue to rise, and the speed is amazing. Therefore, except for a few people who are desperate to give up, the rest of the real estate developers have turned the battlefield to the periphery of the city.
Recently, there is finally good news in the real estate industry - Zhaojun Real Estate Company announced that it will auction off all the Japanese land it owns, and will not keep a single piece. This is great news for those who insist on sticking to the stubborn position, after all, they are stuck where they are, and their capital is much more abundant than other real estate companies, and they definitely have a major advantage in terms of price competition. Moreover, this is a primitive land, and the city has been in the center since it was planned. Many real estate developers started at the wrong pace, building office buildings on the land where residential buildings should be built, or dividing up a piece of land that could be developed into a chain of residential buildings, and so on. So that later did not have much advantage in terms of selling price. And now, the city has been roughly formed, for the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" owned by the land should be built what should not be built, these real estate developers have planned in advance, and even some real estate developers have been ready to demolish and rebuild some houses next to that land, although this investment may be relatively large, but the return is absolutely rich! After all, the land bought by the "Zhaojun Real Estate Company" is stuck in the most critical place, forcing these real estate developers to break up a large area of the original area.
As soon as the news broke, many real estate companies immediately gave up on the projects they were working on. Turning to deal with the "small land" in the center of the city, some real estate developers even put aside the projects that have been carried out halfway, and draw out a large amount of funds, and their posture is like a wolf and a tiger, and they look like they will not give up until the goal is reached. Though. The auction prices offered by Zhaojun Real Estate are outrageously high (a few small plots of land are enough to empty the pockets of some ordinary real estate companies), despite the company's bizarre demand to trade in dollars (the yen continues to appreciate, and the dollar has a tendency to depreciate). But this can't stop the enthusiasm of these real estate developers, starting from the day Zhaojun Real Estate Company released the land, in just a few days, a considerable part of the land has been auctioned by real estate developers who have already been prepared. And the rest of the land, just because the price is too high, most real estate developers are not ready to pay, and sell at a high price, which is definitely a quick thing.
。。。
At a time when all the real estate developers were struggling to raise money for themselves, Michi used a transatlantic phone to raise her doubts to Chen Zhaojun: "Boss, the yen continues to appreciate. The dollar still has a tendency to depreciate, so why are you asking to trade in dollars instead of the yen more profitably? ”
"There is an old saying in our country. It is called greedy and not enough to swallow elephants, which means that you can't be too greedy. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe. We have already tasted so much sweetness in Japanese real estate, so don't be greedy in other aspects, just accept it when you see it, and just do what I say. That's right
How are those lands selling? Is it necessary to raise the reserve price of the auction again? He replied perfunctorily, although he was not greedy, he did not need to worry about this old saying at all, and now he was going to use the money to invest it in another place to make money, which could be regarded as greed. As for the exchange into dollars, the main reason is that the investment in road construction is continuous, and no one will smash all the funds in one go, if you have yen in your hand, then if you don't see any of them, and when the bubble economy in Japan bursts, the yen in your hand will depreciate into a pile of waste paper, and the loss will be amazing.
"I see!" Michi chose to be silent this time, and did not plan to persuade Chen Zhaojun again, and she also secretly had a plan in her heart, and when she turned around, she would convert all the yen in her hand into US dollars, although the amount was not much, but it was absolutely right to do what the boss said. This time, Meizhi's "two whatevers" were done more properly, so that in the future, she will be glad more than once how wise her decision was.
"As for our company's land, I think if we wait another week, we can raise the reserve price of the land auction by another 10%!"
"Hmmm! Yes, you can just watch the increase! Just don't fail to sell! Chen Zhaojun happily ended the call.
After Michi put down the phone, he was also quite emotional, this boss, when he listened to his own suggestions, he didn't even care about it, and directly issued a task indicator to himself. But when you don't listen to yourself, you must not be able to pull back ten cows. However, it seems that this boss has never made any mistakes in his decision-making.
Thinking about it, Michi dialed the phone in Japan.
。。。
Fang Fujun has been very busy recently, while constantly doing homework for Huang Shengzhi and asking him to speed up the pace to promote this matter, on the other hand, he used all the connections he can use to inquire about Chen Zhaojun's details. Today, he finally received a relatively valuable news: "Chen Zhaojun bought two apartments for his two elder brothers in Beijing, and owned a 'No. 1' Hongdu high-end handmade motorcycle, as well as a car" I have to admire the meticulousness of the investigators arranged by Fang Fujun, not only were they able to find out so much detail, but when they reported, they were able to report the "No. 1" motorcycle before the car, you must know that at that time, there were almost no private cars.
"Immediately conduct an in-depth investigation, be sure to investigate his source of funds clearly, and in addition, Hongdu Motorcycle Company will also help me keep an eye on it, especially to find out the relationship between Chen Zhaojun and this motorcycle company!" After hearing the news, Fang Fujun frowned and was silent for a while before arranging again. After hearing about Hongdu's "No. 1" high-end handmade motorcycle, Fang Fujun felt unprecedented pressure, although he believed that Hongdu, a state-owned enterprise, would not spend money on road repairs, but he also knew that Hongdu's recent cooperation with Japan's Fuji, if they had a good relationship in Japan, and introduced it to Chen Zhaojun, it would definitely bring him great trouble, and he might even kick himself out. After all, there are a lot of wealthy people in Japan recently, and even if they spend their spare money to help build roads, it is not impossible. With his businessman's sensitivity, he absolutely didn't believe that the "No. 1" high-end motorcycle would be bought by Chen Zhaojun, there must be a strong relationship between them, but as for what it was, Fang Fujun couldn't imagine it.
The news was soon confirmed, Chen Zhaojun used to be Hongdu's nominal technician, helping Hongdu solve a lot of technical matters, the motorcycle with the number "1" in his hand is the first concept motorcycle produced by Hongdu, which is for Chen Zhaojun to drive for testing, so as to find out more things that need to be modified and corrected, so that Hongdu can go to a higher level in terms of technology. As for the other one, it was a mount arranged by him as a senior employee of Hongdu Company. And those two suites should be the remuneration paid by Hong Du to thank Chen Zhaojun for his technical help!
After hearing these news, Fang Fujun breathed a sigh of relief, Chen Zhaojun was just a nominal technician, and he should not have much influence on Hongdu's decision-making, let alone know powerful foreign businessmen. However, Fang Fujun was still quite uncomfortable with Chen Zhaojun's intervention, who knows if the news is wrong, and who knows if he really knows the powerful foreign businessman? In short, Chen Zhaojun's matter is like a fish bone stuck in the throat, choking Fang Fujun up and down, and he can't solve it. After completing these investigations, Fang Fujun immediately started another thing that was enough to keep him busy again - buying or squeezing out Chen Zhaojun, if he could buy Chen Zhaojun, it would naturally be the best, and spending some money even if it was just to buy a useless **, it would be somewhat helpful for his future. And if it can't be bought, then this kind of person is dangerous, and it must be squeezed out, and the farther away the better, and it is best to dismiss him directly! Thinking about it, Fang Fujun dialed Huang Shengzhi's phone number first, and asked him to prepare first, so that he could be squeezed out as soon as possible if he couldn't buy Chen Zhaojun.
The news from Fang Fujun's investigation was indeed wrong, and it was only an extremely one-sided part, but it was already quite good for him to inquire about this. After all, Chen Zhaojun's archives have been under the responsibility of the state since he joined the National Institute of Light Weapons, and the archives before that were blank, and it is impossible for outsiders to know Chen Zhaojun's secrets. The key to allowing Fang Fujun to hear these things was obtained from the two houses and the two motorcycles that Chen Zhaojun had purchased, and a large part of them were his own speculation.
Chen Zhaojun was busy counting the money of the Japanese at this time, and he did not know that someone had already pointed a gun at him, trying to buy him with a little money, or transfer him away and force him to resign.
