The relationship between local tyrants and local government officials is often mutually exploitative, and in most cases, businessmen are always more constrained by officials. The main reason is that in the process of earning the first pot of gold and even gaining a firm foothold in the local area, official support is indispensable. This practice has a history of thousands of years.

For example, after the change, none of the first wave of people who boldly went to the sea to make money were completely clean. In an environment of unclear policies and an imperfect legal system, they have to try to break through rigid joints with every step they take. The means of getting through, then needless to say.

After 2000, with the boom of real estate, a similar situation became more prominent, and collusion between officials and businessmen has become a norm and steadily occupies the middle layer of the social pyramid.

Yang's case, which did not rely on local leaders at all, sprung up under the pattern of basic stability in the big framework, and made promises in a short period of time, is at least the only one in Langya. Not only are the local leaders inexperienced, but other people who don't know the truth absolutely don't believe that this is the case.

Or that the Yang family came too violently, and the opportunity to choose was too good, so that many people did not have time to react. In the subsequent expansion process, the Yang clan shared profits at the bottom and generously gave away political achievements, but in the core structure, no other forces were included. This situation is rare for a group with billions of assessed assets.

Because it is rare, it is conspicuous. When those who have the ability and the heart to pay attention to them have almost understood the inside story, it is inevitable that they will have to put their hands in.

The Yang clan is just a family of commoners, and there is no strong enough descendant strength on it. Occupy so much wealth without sharing the profits. Unruly. Even if there is a Chen family that looks like an umbrella. That can only hold up a certain amount of pressure. No matter how big they are, they will be just as powerless.

Although the Yang family is mentally prepared for all this, they still feel very unhappy when the matter comes to an end. However, no one in the family felt that they should immediately bow their heads to those people and admit defeat, without breaking their wrists, who knows whether they will win or lose?

With a determination in his heart, Yang Hao rested in the old mansion steadily. But others may not be so calm.

At night. In the Songtao Resort in the north of the city, Director Huang of the capital who was deflated during the day was invited to a villa in the core area. In a simple-looking Western-style wide-body building, there is a private club that is connected up and down. Coolly dressed men and women weave between the dimly lit central halls, while the music from the outside and the elegant soothing tunes from the soundproofed private rooms form a small world of very different styles.

The private room where Director Huang and his colleagues are located is facing the south side, with a spacious interior and a wide view, which is almost the best decoration condition in the local area. However, the leaders who came down from Beijing didn't look down on this kind of remote and small place at all, and they didn't talk about it, but just smiled indifferently at the various hardware arranged by Yingying Yanyan.

That's what it looks like. Specially pretended.

As an escort, of course, Director Zhang, who led the way during the day, was indispensable, but now he can only humbly call himself "Xiao Zhang". The one who served the tea and water was called a diligent one, and the smile on his face was piled up with layers of folds, but it was difficult to exchange it for the eyes of several other distinguished people.

There is no way, in the reality of strict hierarchy, the gap between people and people is so big.

As the host, it is Lu Dashao, the third-in-command who has formed a bond with the Yang family. After more than a year, the arrogant and domineering brother is obviously a lot calmer, and although there is still flattery between Director Huang's actions, he is still more decent.

However, he still did not dare to sit on the top, and the main companion was another young man of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, who was deep and sophisticated. For Director Shanghuang, who is said to be a ministerial-level leader, he is still calm and calm.

After greetings and other subjects passed, Lu Dashao waved his hand and drove out all the people who accompanied the wine, and only a group of their own people were left in the private room, and then smiled at Director Huang: "Third Brother Huang went to try that big boss Yang today, saying that that kid is quite arrogant, and even you dare to be rude." I blame me for not arranging this in advance, which frightened Third Brother Huang, so I will serve you a drink and admit your mistake. ”

He had a good attitude, holding the goblet in both hands and bending slightly to salute it. Director Zhang followed with great interest, and couldn't stop apologizing: "It's up to me for this matter, I didn't carry out Lu Shao's orders, I should be punished, I'll do three first!" ”

Without saying a word, three cups of liquor went in, and this small pound of liquor went directly into the stomach, and the already red face immediately became eggplant-like, and the body was a little swaying at that time.

Lu Dashao was very bold and drank a cup, his face was slightly pale, but he didn't forget to gently pat Director Zhang's shoulder: "Xiao Zhang's attitude is good, Third Brother Huang has a lot, how can I care about you." Okay, let's have some tea on the side and go smoothly. ”

This style made Director Huang's complexion soften a lot, and his smile was much more people-friendly, and he even took a sip of the cup, which was regarded as a return gift. Then he raised his hand and pressed it down, and said indifferently: "Brother Lu is very sympathetic to his subordinates, I like to deal with such affectionate and righteous people." It's not up to you today, friends, don't be so angry. ”

That's in the past.

The young man who was accompanied by the master smiled slightly, and said in a clear and heavy tone: "Third Brother Huang is right, we will have a long time in the future, and it is most important to look at each other." Today's matter is over, let's go one. ”

A few people raised their glasses and took a sip, and the atmosphere changed again.

Lu Dashao followed with a smile and asked: "Third Brother Huang has seen a lot of people, what do you think of Yang Hao's kid?" ”

Everyone gathered their eyes, Director Huang casually grabbed a chopstick dish, put it in his mouth and chewed for a while, and nodded slightly: "Don't say it, this wild thing tastes good." I heard that this is also a material from the Ming and Qing Dynasty Cultural City? ”

Lu Dashao didn't know why, and replied: "That's right, this table, including the wine, is from them, to ensure that it is pure natural and pollution-free." Our small place, that is, this little thing can be handled. Do you think, it's still done? ”

Director Huang put down his chopsticks and said carefully: "Not only is it successful, there are so many restaurants in Beijing, and no one says that they can make it so neat." Not to mention the level of performance, just to say that the ability to pull things all over the world is very unusual. ”

Now him. Where is there still the arrogance and impetuousness of the day. It is clearly a kind of old and steady that has experienced ups and downs for a long time. Although it is not as good as the temperament of the main companion, it is also several grades higher than the turtles of Lu Dashao and Director Zhang.

The young man's deep eyes flashed, and he said, "What does the third brother mean is that the Yang family's background is deeper than we know?" ”

"Much deeper." Director Huang leaned back, with a hint of anger in his voice, "That kid is a ruthless man." The rumors that he fought with mercenaries in Africa are most likely true. I've seen a lot of generals in the army who have really seen blood. There are a few who can compare to that kid's bad spirit! In the peaceful years, they all pay attention to the son of a daughter who can't sit down. Yang Hao's kid can give up his life and take risks, and his head is still very sober, which is not the same as his background. ”

Lu Dashao was very surprised, and subconsciously looked at the young man who accompanied him, pinched the wine glass and sighed: "This is really a bit troublesome." So, can't we do things as they are? ”

Director Huang finally looked at their inquiring eyes and smiled: "Why don't you do it?" No matter how much he can toss, he is just a small loach. In today's world, it is not his turn to turn the sky! As long as it is in the country. It's a dragon, and he has to be honest. ”

Lu Da Shao smiled happily: "That's it, in your third brother Huang, isn't he just a little loach?" This matter depends on the third brother's trouble. ”

Director Huang waved his hand modestly: "I still want the brothers to work together." But I'm talking ahead, there's no news from above, so don't act rashly. The attitude of the Chen family is not completely clear, we have to prevent Chen Xiao's girl from breaking the jar! ”

The young man frowned and asked, "Didn't Second Uncle Chen speak?" Why, is there still a saying in it? ”

Director Huang turned his head to him with a hint of surprise: "Gao Yuan, your father is about to become a member of the Standing Committee, you should know this kind of way, right?" Which family can really have the final say? ”

The young man's expression was slightly stiff, and then he smiled and said, "It's me who wants to be left, let the third brother laugh." ”

Director Huang shook his fingers: "It's you who think the time-honored brands in Beijing are amazing, in fact, in the final analysis, whether it is the capital or the countryside, there is no difference in the affairs of the family." That's what I'm saying, don't hesitate to do anything. ”

"Understood, thank you for the reminder."

Lu Dashao and Gao Yuan raised their glasses again and expressed their gratitude to Director Huang.

After eating and wiping his mouth, Lu Dashao patted the table lightly, twisted his eyebrows and shouted: "With you pressing the formation, tomorrow I have to let Yang Hao's kid take a good look, who has the final say in this acre of land!" Damn, I've been suffocated for more than a year, and I have to get it back with interest! ”

Director Huang laughed, leaned over and patted the back of his hand: "Let it go, the third brother will support you." ”

Guests and hosts have fun.

The next morning, Yang Hao came to the city hall by car.

The newly built city hall is far from the city, occupying a large area, and the parking lot in front of it is about the size of a football field, and there are few cars in sight. The buildings are very magnificent, far away from each other, and the office buildings of the other two government agencies are as magnificent, which is obviously beyond the standard compared with the pattern of a small city with only 400,000 people.

Yang Hao's car is a relatively low-key Chevrolet full-size SUV, which is indispensable in American blockbusters and TV series, but there are very few in China, and there are not many people in small places who know its value.

The guard at the door seemed to be more knowledgeable, and when he saw the license plate, he knew that it was from the Yang Group, and he smiled to guide the parking. Yang Hao took a secretary and bodyguard to step up the steps to the lobby of the building, only to find that the secretaries who usually would inevitably come out from afar did not see any of them today, and he had to register and call.

Yang Hao knew in his heart that there was a problem. He couldn't help but sneer secretly, people in small places are shallow-eyed, and when they heard a little wind, they thought that the Yang family was going to be unlucky, so they hid early, why bother?

It's not bad, the big secretary who called yesterday didn't say that he was hiding and didn't see anyone, and waited for about fifteen minutes before appearing in the hall. As soon as they met, he said apologetically: "Oh, hey, look, I'm really embarrassed, there are a lot of things today, and I made you wait for so long without paying attention." ”

Turning around, he yelled at the attendant: "What's the matter with you? Mr. Yang didn't remind him when he came, is it appropriate for him to wait here? ”

Yang Hao didn't reveal it, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, just don't delay the business." Please make it clear what instructions the leader has asked me to come here today. ”

The big secretary led the way to the elevator and replied casually: "What instructions are not indicated, that is, there is a leader in the capital who wants to understand the situation, you are a big taxpayer in our city, there must be no problem." However, the big boss thinks that we are doing business above board, and it is best to cooperate with the passing scene, and the people in the province will take care of it, so I have to trouble you to come here. ”

Yang Hao nodded quietly: "It is appropriate to cooperate with the work of the leaders of the city." ”

Don't say more, the big secretary didn't ask, and led him to the small conference room, Yang Hao took the time to see that the mobile phone signal was blocked, signaled to his bodyguard, and sat down alone.

After a while, Director Huang from the capital walked in with a few people, as if there had been no conflict at all yesterday, and his face was as calm as water.

The secretary smiled at the chairman's opening remarks: "We are honored to welcome Director Huang of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation to our Langya to guide our work. Mr. Yang, if there are any problems later, please rest assured, the city's attitude towards key enterprises like Yanhua Group is very clear, and I hope you can actively cooperate with Director Huang's work, and don't let the leaders of the ministry pick on it. ”

It's okay to fool ordinary people with these words, but Yang Hao is not Wuxia Ameng, and nodded indifferently: "I'll try my best." ”

The big secretary's face froze, nodded with a strong smile, and left in a hurry after saying a few words. In this meeting today, he won't mix it up indiscriminately, and it's not something he can resist if he offends that end.

There were no outsiders, and the small conference room immediately fell silent. Yang Hao calmly stirred up the tea, as if he was a guest.

Director Huang stared at him for a long time, and found that there was no way to create pressure or anything to make Yang Hao nervous, so he had to cough, knocked on the table lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yang Hao, I am Huang Qibo from the African Department of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. Please recognize the situation and explain the problem clearly. ”

Come up and put it down!

Yang Hao didn't raise his eyelids, picked up the tea bowl and smelled the smell, and gently put it on the table, and said without being salty or light: "Is Director Huang talking to me?" When did Yanhua Group deal in waste industrial equipment, how do I not know? ”

All the activities of purchasing, shutting down and converting industrial equipment from China, transporting it to Africa and building factories are all done by third parties on the surface, and will not reflect any connection with Yanhua Group. These problems have been taken into account for a long time.

Huang Qibo slammed the table with a "bang" and scolded: "Yang Hao! Don't think that you can get away with just two companies in front of you! We have already investigated the relevant problems very clearly, you better confess! To tell you the truth, the behavior of you and your company has seriously affected the country's strategic planning in Africa, and has caused extremely bad damage to the diplomatic relations and cooperation between our country and Kenya! You can't afford to take on the responsibility! ”

Yang Hao snorted coldly: "What a big hat!" Now that you've found out, what are you asking me? ”

Huang Qibo leaned forward, made a coercive posture, glared and shouted: "So, you admit it?!" (To be continued......)
