Naturally, China will not be left behind. In fact, when the Australians and Zaireans approached Cheng Liping, the head of the military industry could not sit still. They don't know the cause and effect of this incident, they only know that Cheng Liping is still a Chinese who retains a Chinese household registration and identity, and the so-called defenders on Red Island are also solid Chinese. Chinese have been taught to love the party and the country since childhood, and how can these young people have no overall view of the big picture, preferring to sell such an important mine to foreigners rather than hand it over to their own development company.

Cheng Liping's old leader naturally understood what was going on, and responded tepidly: "Hongdao was beaten down by others, and it was also guarded by others, and it was of course his freedom to cooperate with whoever he wanted." ”

The person in charge of the military industry is surnamed Peng, and he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general a few years ago. Cheng Liping's old leader did not have a smooth career, and he did the work of the intelligence department, and he hung up the rank of major general ten years ago, and he has not gone any further.

"Lao Yan, you can't say that," Lao Peng said with a frown, "Hongdao was beaten down by him, that's right." But it can be defended, relying on the motherland. Those bombers, who secretly helped to shoot them down? The warship of the Vietnamese, which country's navy knocked it down? We can't say it on the surface, I don't believe those boys don't count in their hearts. ”

Cheng Liping's old leader's name is Yan Shoushun, and when he heard this, he smiled dryly: "Old Peng, so what's the matter?" Why should we help them, not for ourselves? If it weren't for the diamond mines on Red Island, would we still be able to help? ”

Peng Jie raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Yan, what do you mean by this?" ”

Yan Shoushun said: "My meaning is very simple. They are all smart people, and they have long figured out our intentions. The reason why we didn't buy it was because we didn't give the chips. Now at this juncture, don't play any patriotic cards, it's useless. You don't know, Xiao Cheng has been wronged by the local government a lot in the past two years, and he has no place to vent his grievances. ”

Peng Jie sneered: "Can the people you have cultivated still be wronged? I don't believe that. ”

Yan Shoushun said lightly: "If he doesn't want to be wronged, that place has already been bled by him." ”

Peng Jie had no choice but to send someone to contact Hongdao to see what the other party wanted. Hongdao called back soon, since it was to discuss business cooperation, then send a weighty person to talk, and then such a power generation consultation, and then no reply in the future. Peng Jie's angry hair stood on end, and he slapped the table heavily, and then scolded angrily: "Where is he from, and which official made him suffer so much?" ”

Yan Shoushun didn't speak, he was a member of the military and couldn't interfere in local affairs. But Peng Jie is different, his opinions can be handed directly to the top.

After losing his temper, Lao Peng had no choice, so he could only look at Yan Shoushun again: "Lao Yan, you can run hard, that mine is too important for our military research." Just take it as a rejuvenation for the country, and when you come back, I will invite you to drink in the compound. ”

Yan Shoushun laughed and said, "Save it, people save red wine, you save two pots." I don't dare to drink this wine, if I drink too much and say the wrong thing, I will have to go to court-martial another day. ”

After reporting to the high-level management, Yan Shoushun took a helicopter to Hongdao again. Cheng Liping did not show up, and the person who received Yan Shoushun was Liu Weiguo. Yan Shoushun's expression was very calm, but the two lieutenant colonel officers who sympathized with him were unhappy, and frowned and said, "What does Xiao Cheng mean, the chief is here, don't you even understand a little military etiquette?" ”

Liu Weiguo smiled: "I'm sorry, our king is no longer in active service, so there is no need to follow your etiquette." ”

Yan Shoushun's eyes flashed, and he said, "King? ”

Liu Weiguo said: "That's right, Vietnam has agreed to the autonomy of Hongdao, and Mr. Cheng is our first king." ”

Yan Shoushun knew that Liu Weiguo was talking nonsense, and now that the eight characters have not been skimmed, how could the Vietnamese suffer this dumb loss, but when he heard him say this, he was still very unhappy in his heart, and smiled coldly: "That's good, you are all founding fathers, maybe you have a higher military rank than me." When I see you again in the future, I'm afraid it's an old man who should salute and say hello. ”

Liu Weiguo avoided answering, invited Yan Shoushun and the two lieutenant colonel officers to Zhuliao, and ordered someone to bring tea, and then got to the point, and said: "Mr. Yan, you are all mother's family, and I won't go around in circles." The current quotation of the mine has reached 6 billion US dollars. The offer is made by Botswana, and if there is any doubt, you can do your own research. After the contract is received, all the diamonds produced by the mine will be disposed of by the offeror, but 60% of the sales must be returned to Hongdao on time and on time. In other words, only 40% of the revenue goes to the offeror. However, the Hongdao mine has huge reserves, and I believe that this investment is very worthwhile. ”

The two lieutenant colonels looked at each other, six billion US dollars, equivalent to more than 40 billion yuan, and all they obtained was the right to cooperate. Not to mention that China's finances are tight now, even if it is rich, it can't be wasted with people's fat and people's ointment. But if you don't agree, that's okay, anyway, the price has already been quoted by Botswana. Yan Shoushun's expression was very calm, because this was a diamond mine, and it could be seen from the scale of the veins monitored by the satellite alone that the price was not too high. And Liu Weiguo's words have faintly revealed their inner inclination, if it is the same price, their most willing partner is still China.

Yan Shoushun nodded and said, "I will report this offer to my superiors." If I don't mind, can I stay on the island for two days? ”

Liu Weiguo hesitated, but nodded in agreement. He knew that Yan Shoushun's intention was to inspect the mine, and anyway, there were a few soldiers following him at any time, so he didn't have to worry too much. You must know that Ding Er's gang of people are a tendon when they carry out orders. If Yan Shoushun and the others dared to listen to confidential information without authorization, the guns in their hands would be ruthless.

When Yan Shoushun visited Red Island, Licheng, thousands of miles away, ushered in a blockbuster news. After two months, Secretary Wen Kaishu came to Licheng again for inspection. During the inspection, Wen Kaishu spoke highly of the renovation work in the subsidence area in the east of the city, but also criticized the rapid growth of housing prices, which has caused a certain degree of pressure on the economic development of Licheng. After the inspection, Secretary Wen came to Tan Jialin's office, and in front of a group of grassroots leaders, Secretary Wen asked about the distant flour group with a straight face.

Tan Jialin only knew a little bit of the news, but did not grasp all the reasons, and said a few words before he stopped talking. Sun Xingye, the deputy head in charge of industry, followed up and added a few words, but Secretary Wen's expression was still very grim, which was very different from the spring breeze on his face during the inspection. After Sun Xingye finished speaking, Secretary Wen looked at Tan Jialin and asked: "A private listed company, just because the state-owned enterprises are going to merge, you unilaterally agreed without any research." You are all leading cadres, do you understand the law or the policy? ”

There was silence in the conference room, and no one dared to answer Secretary Wen's words. Wen Kaishu continued to be furious: "When people lose money, do you give your government support funds and bank loans?" When food is scarce and cannot be produced, do you and the Food Bureau help people through the difficulties? If there is nothing, why do you arbitrarily interfere with their normal production and operation? ”

Sun Xingye snorted: "This ...... Secretary Wen, the acquisition work was proposed by Bright Flour, and Li Cheng ...... here"

Wen Kaishu slapped the table with a "snap": "Is Bright Powder Industry the Red Sun of the Universe?" What they say is what they say? They are responsible, and you are not responsible? ”

Tan Jialin said in a sad tone: "Secretary Wen, the main responsibility for this matter lies with me, and I request that the organization be punished." ”

Wen Kaishu rebuked unceremoniously: "You are the chief official of Li City, of course the responsibility lies with you." Bright Powder Industry is such an obvious illegal act, you actually turn a blind eye, not only do not set things right, but instead help the tiger to abuse. You are the parents of the people, how can you do such a foolish bastard? ”

The officials in Li Cheng hung their heads, and no one dared to speak loudly. Only Du Dezhong muttered in his heart, it has been a few months since Bright Flour Industry annexed the Yuanfang Flour Group, and Secretary Wen had already served in Su Xu at that time, if he really wanted to knock the officials of Li Cheng on this, why did he drag it out until today? To say that he just learned the news, it doesn't make sense, I think that the newspaper in the capital reported the news of Cheng Liping's calculation at length, as a ministerial-level leader, it is impossible not to know about this matter.

Wen Kaishu did not show mercy because Tan Jialin was his nephew, and when he left, he asked Tan Jialin, Zhu Jiaying, Sun Xingye and other party and government leaders to take advantage of the weekend to study at Suxu Party School. Because Du Dezhong is in charge of public security and justice, he has nothing to do with them, and he was not included in the secretary. On the contrary, because Du Dezhong and Bao Huiyan led the Licheng police to crack a vicious serial murder case, Secretary Wen also shook Du Dezhong's hand and encouraged him to make persistent efforts to continue to keep the people safe.

The officials named by Secretary Wen couldn't sleep at night and were depressed. barely stayed up until dawn to go to work in the district government, but saw their secretary standing at the door of the office with a strange expression. Secretary Chen saw Tan Jialin, immediately opened his mobile phone, and handed it to Tan Jialin. Tan Jialin stretched out his hand to take it, only to see that on the news of the local plate of Suxu, the headline was marked in bold black letters: Geng Jingzhong, deputy director of the Suxu State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, chairman of Guangming Flour Industry, and secretary of the Party Committee, was shuanggui by the Suxu Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection on suspicion of corruption and bribery.

Tan Jialin suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back. He understood that it must be the high-level people who were unhappy, and all this was probably related to Cheng Liping.

However, he didn't have a trace of expression on his face, just walked into the conference room quickly, and asked quietly: "Isn't the original vice president of the Yuanfang Flour Group called Zhou Shouchang?" ”

Secretary Chen nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Tan Jialin said: "Contact me and ask him if he would like to take over the team of the distant flour group." It's a pity that the listed company collapsed. ”

Secretary Chen said with a strange expression: "Secretary Tan, Zhou Shouchang has already founded a new company in a neighboring county, called Eslite Food and Chemical Company, and just held a product exhibition in Singapore a few days ago, and it is said that he has signed a contract of hundreds of millions. ”

Tan Jialin was silent for a moment and said, "In which county?" ”

Secretary Chen said: "Xiyi County." ”

Tan Jialin sighed "oh" and said, "The poor county of Tuobin Province. It's a pity that the profits and taxes have been paid to Tuobin. ”
