Chapter 151: Fleeing with a Woman
In accordance with the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China and International Law, the Nanyue High People's Court sentenced Yamaguchi Liangbin (formerly Chinese citizen Xiao Liangbin), vice president of the Sanzhu Society, to life imprisonment for the crimes of espionage, endangering public security, arms trafficking, and privately setting up casinos, with concurrent punishment for several crimes, confiscation of all property, no commutation or bail, deprivation of political rights for life, and declared his Japanese citizenship invalid.
After the verdict was read, Yamaguchi finally bowed his head and confessed like a defeated rooster, and what awaited him was a sentence with no end in sight, and he would spend a long time in a cold prison until he sat through the prison. The reason why this "artist" who does all kinds of evil has come to this point is because of greed and selfishness, because of selling his soul, because of money worship, because of hatred of socialism.
Without the malicious sabotage of hostile business competitors such as Yamaguchi Yoshibin, Huashun Group is thriving, production and sales profits are growing steadily and continuously, Huaxin No. 2 R&D work has also made new breakthroughs, and the 3G technology version has been upgraded to 4G, announcing the arrival of the 4G era in China's IT industry.
Long Xiaoxiao handed over the CEO of Huashun's headquarters to Nishino to concentrate on her Silk Road International and Shengyi Media, two subsidiaries where her expertise lies. When I am free, I take my two children to water flowers, fish or plant vegetables in the big yard of Jiayuan Villa, and my life is very comfortable.
Half a year has passed, and everything is uneventful. It wasn't until the unexpected appearance of Nishino's old classmate Tulong and Vice President Li Yu that the quiet life was shattered again.
Nishino held a senior management meeting at the Grand Hotel on Cheung Chau Island to discuss Huashun Group's overseas investment, Xiao Sanxi took a leave of absence because Fujita Mitsuko Erbao was on vacation, and Meng Licheng did not attend the meeting because he was on vacation in the Maldives, and only Li Sheng and Wang Mingwei, two vice presidents, attended the meeting.
"As far as I know, Cuba on the Caribbean coast has carried out reform and opening up, which is a good time for us to enter the Latin American market." Nishino sat in the chairman's seat and said unhurriedly,
"Since 2011, the Cuban government has opened up the housing market, which has led to a rapid increase in housing prices. Many Cubans have relatives in the United States, and a large amount of dollars has flowed into Cuba to buy homes, pushing up housing prices far beyond the purchasing power of the average wage earner. ”
"Mr. Xi, do you want to compete with Americans for the real estate market?" Li Sheng asked.
"Yes. It's an opportunity, albeit a lot of risk. After all, the purchase of a house by an American in Cuba is a personal act, and there is a lot of speculation. We can approach the leaders of the Cuban government, obtain the right to transfer the land, and start with the first phase of real estate development and sell it to those workers or peasants at the lowest price. Nishino replied with a smile.
"The Americans have invested for more than two years and have seized the opportunity, and Cuba is at their doorstep, and they have taken advantage of the favorable geographical situation. Meng Licheng was the first to stand up against it.
"Licheng, sit down and tell me your reasons." Nishino was tepid.
"Cuba has a population of just over 11 million, a very backward economy and a poor people. Since 1962, it has been subjected to economic blockade and political siege by capitalist countries led by the United States for a long time, and its direct economic losses have reached $975 billion.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, due to the end of the economic exchange system, the loss of foreign aid, and the loss of 95% of the export market and 85% of the import market, the economic development suffered a major setback. Meng Licheng took a sip of water and moistened his throat.
"The Cuban economy, especially in terms of energy, electricity and exports, has suffered tremendous difficulties, and the national economy has been deteriorating. Cuba's GDP, which is dominated by agriculture and tourism, has negligible industrial output. Meng Licheng raised his voice, "Putting aside whether President Raul Castro will receive us for the time being, may I ask if we go there to engage in large-scale real estate development, Cubans can't afford to buy houses, we put our money there, what's the difference between burning money?" ”
"Vice President Meng, I also agree with you." Li Sheng took over the conversation, "Real estate is not our main business, if we say that we want to invest in telecommunications in the Youth Island Special Economic Zone, we may consider it." ”
"Oh, does anyone know about the Isla de la Juventus?" Nishino turned the pen in his hand.
"Mr. Xi, I've heard a little." Wu Qingshan, the chief financial officer, raised his hand.
"Director Wu, please speak—"
"Okay, let me give you a brief introduction. Located in the Caribbean Sea of the Atlantic Ocean, bordered by the Indius Canal to the northwest and the Batavano Bay to the north and northeast, and separated from the Cuban mainland, the Isla des Youth is located in the Caribbean Sea of the Atlantic Ocean, with an area of 2,419.27 square kilometers and a population of 86,500, with the capital and main town of Nueva Girona. ”
"How's the economy?"
"The economic pillars of the Isla de la Juventud are horticulture, fishing, pine harvesting, marble mining." After Wu Qingshan finished speaking, he sat down.
"Good, very good. Since we don't have any IT industry, this is a great opportunity for us to enter the island of Juventud. Nishino clapped his hands and said, "Is there a Chinese IT group on the island that has taken the project anywhere?" ”
"Boss, you wait...... I'll look it up. Li Sheng's fingers quickly tapped on the keyboard on the laptop, and a line of words popped up from the screen.
"I found it, there is a company, China Dragon Group, which undertakes the telecommunications business on the island, and ZTE Group." Li Sheng exclaimed.
"Then look up their information." Nishino lit a Cuban cigar, took a puff, and rested it on the ashtray.
"No problem." Li Sheng pressed the mouse and carefully searched for relevant information about the Dragon Group and ZTE Group on the computer, but there were too many entries, and Li Sheng was dazzled and a little dizzy.
All the executives were waiting for Li Sheng to give the most authoritative release, Li Sheng was in a hurry, but he still tried his best to calm down.
"Mr. Xi, there is a gentleman outside who said that he is looking for you in an emergency." Security Captain Howard came in and whispered into Nishino's ear.
"What does it look like?" Nishino hates it most when someone comes to disturb him when he has a meeting, and he can't help frowning.
"He wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, as if he is a government official who is not too big or small, and speaks Mandarin with a strong Zhaoyang accent, not like a native of southern Guangdong."
"Oh, I see. You tell him to wait ten minutes, and when my meeting is over, I'll meet him. ”
"Okay, Mr. Xi." Howard hurried out of the conference room......
Because of the fierce opposition of most shareholders and executives, it was difficult for Nishino to make a decision for a while, after all, it was billions of dollars at every turn, and it must be done carefully.
Cai Yifei volunteered to go to Cuba to inspect the telecommunications market and real estate development, which finally made Nishino feel a little more comfortable. Cai Yifei has accumulated rich experience in real estate development in China, but he doesn't know anything about the telecommunications industry, and it seems inappropriate to send him to the Caribbean alone. If you don't send two people, who should you send?
Wu Qingshan, as the chief financial officer, proposed to invest in the Youth Island Special Economic Zone, but he did not understand the information industry, but he was very good at data analysis. Although Li Sheng is a computer master, he is not very proficient in market operations, and his eyes are low, and his optimism is a bit excessive. Why don't you go home and ask for the advice of the old man and Xiaoxiao?
Nishino thought about it, and before he knew it, he left the conference room and arrived at the parking lot, where the sun was very strong and the heat wave was hit. He stood in the shade of a tree, straightened his long hair that hung down from his forehead, took a few deep breaths of fresh air, and remained silent.
"Professor, what are you doing with a sad face?" Tulong, with a smile on his face, walked over.
"Director Tu, what kind of wind blew you to Changzhou Island?" Nishino was surprised by Tulong's arrival.
"Brother, don't call me Director Tu, I'm the one who absconded now......" Tulong sighed and waved his hand.
"Huh? Didn't you do a good job as the director of the National Development and Reform Commission in your hometown? ”
"If I am framed, if I don't escape, I will be killed and hacked to death, and my body will be thrown into the wilderness."
"Is that true?"
"No lie, brother."
"Sit in the car, go to my house and talk about it."
"Brother, still not going. Shall I bring someone with me? ”
"Who?"
"Li Yu."
"Old classmate, you still took a woman to escape, it's enough for a cow...... Hey, isn't Li Yu the vice president? ”
Speaking of Li Yu, Tulong couldn't help but sigh -
After the mineral water project in S City was stopped, a sudden flash flood in the early spring of this year affected more than 40% of the people in Montenegro, cutting off electricity and water, and disrupting transportation. Fearing that their superiors would be held accountable, the leaders of the municipal party committee, city, and government concealed the number of dead and missing persons and deliberately narrowed down the data on property damage.
Therefore, the special funds and emergency supplies allocated by the province and the central government to S City are very limited, which is almost a drop in the bucket. Li Yu is the leader of the poverty alleviation hanging point in Montenegro, seeing that people are homeless and sleeping in the open, he can't bear it, so he walked out of Montenegro, took a hitchhike to the S Municipal Government compound, found Tulong, and asked to send a love proposal for help on the Internet.
Tulong immediately said that he could not help, saying that the people in the affected areas were no longer suitable to live in the same place, and that the city government and the municipal party committee had made a decision to relocate the victims as a whole, and that they would soon expropriate thousands of acres of land on the outskirts of the city to build resettlement houses.
Sure enough, a few days later, Tulong was appointed as the general person in charge of the resettlement housing project, and as for the project money, Tulong asked Tulong to find a way to raise it himself. However, a certain leader hinted that Tulong was open to bidding, and also named an engineering company in S City.
The leader's instructions could not be ignored, but the engineering company did not have the qualifications to undertake the resettlement project, which made it difficult for Tulong. Li Yu told him that there was a highly qualified construction company in the Central Plains that could undertake the construction, and the boss of this company was none other than Hu Yumin.
The ecstatic Hu Yumin returned to S City and happily signed the contract. At the beginning, Tulong objected to giving her the project, but Hu Yumin's wife Yang Wenyan's uncle was the deputy secretary of the municipal party committee, so he had to agree.
After the project contract was signed, Hu Yumin borrowed 200 million yuan from Li Yu's bank (Li Yu's approved loan), and transferred all the funds to Saudi Arabia and Dubai to speculate in real estate, but the result was poor management and no return in just a few months.
Hu Yumin also collected deposits for the purchase of houses from the victims of the disaster, and owed more than a dozen second-level contractors construction payments, and did not show up for a long time. The victims and contractors could not find Hu Yumin, and they searched for Tulong every day, and finally developed into demonstrations with sticks, knives and guns.
The frightened Tulong couldn't bear it, so he had to flee with Li Yu, because the two of them received Hu Yumin's 30 million benefit fee......
"Old classmate, why are you so confused?" Nishino frowned and put on his sunglasses, "How can I help you?" ”
"I just want to hide with you for a while, and when the wind dies down, I will fly to Cuba with Li Yu." Tulong took off his black-rimmed glasses and wiped the lenses.
