Chapter 51: The Tip of the Iceberg
Lin Xueer and I had a great lunch at the Whole Pig Experience Hall.
First, the dishes are indeed top-notch; The second is that two people are together and are in a happy mood with each other.
We had a great day in the county.
The next day, Lin Xue'er had to go back to her hometown dozens of kilometers away from the county seat to take a vacation, so I dropped her off at the station and drove back to the rural mining site.
After I met with Ah Hong, I received a notice that I wanted to cash out the three million, so I immediately notified Dazhi, explaining that I would start preparing the three million and strive to fulfill the promise on time.
Back at the mining site, Dazhi asked me for details about what happened in the county.
I told him about what I had seen and heard in the county in the past two days, including meeting Ah Hong in the Guangtou Building, seeing the bald head and the leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission in the Quanzhu Experience Hall.
After listening to my story, Dazhi was silent for a while, and talked to me about the anomaly he had encountered in the rural mining field recently.
According to his description, a strange thing happened to our neighbor, the two brothers, in the past two days.
After the opening of the good mining farm, the business volume has been tepid, but the sales channels are very wide and the road is also very wide, because Xiaowei often introduces customers to us.
It is puzzling that mining farms do not make money from the production of sales.
The day before yesterday, a purchasing company came to negotiate business, originally took a fancy to the good equipment and products of the brothers, and at the critical moment when the contract was about to be signed, Xiaowei unconditionally gave up this lucrative purchase order to Dazhifu.
Originally, it was a rival in peer competition, but now the actual situation is that the two brothers did not become our opponents, but just did the icing on the cake, and the inside story is really confusing.
This is indeed a strange thing.
According to normal thinking, it is impossible to guess the mystery.
"Is Xiaowei in the mining company these two days?"
After listening to what he said, I couldn't understand the inside story, and I couldn't understand what Xiaowei was doing, the only thing I could do was to find a chance to talk to him face-to-face and test the truth.
"He should be there, I saw him walking around the mountain just now." , Dazhi replied.
During this period of time, all kinds of things I saw and heard in the county, coupled with the fact that Xiaowei was the only one who was able to get the mining approval from the Environmental Protection Bureau, is thought-provoking, and all kinds of indications show that Xiaowei should have an inexplicable relationship with Guangtou and Ah Hong.
Since it is related, it is obvious that if you want to know about the bald gang, Xiaowei is also a good breakthrough, and he should be an insider about the business operation model of the Guangtou Group.
In addition, it is not difficult to see that with Xiaowei's business philosophy and strength, he is also likely to participate in the business of the GDI Group.
Thinking of this, the moment I talked to Dazhi about the fulfillment of the three million funds advocated by Ah Hong, I suddenly remembered that Xiao Wei was the first to promise to pay Ah Hong three million in order to get the mining rights.
This matter is also full of suspicions, since they are colluded and have related interests, why do they still draw such clear boundaries between each other? Why does he need to give money from the mining farm to Ah Hong?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, so I asked Dazhi again to verify what happened in Ah Hong's office in the environmental protection building on the day Dazhifu was agreed to resume work.
"Last time you said that Ah Hong also took three million from the little viagra every year, did Ah Hong say it herself?"
Dazhi nodded.
"Ah Hong clearly told me that day, the premise of her approval of the mining license of the brothers' good company is that Xiaowei has to pay three million a year, I understood at the time, understood the meaning of her words, and must also require our Dazhifu to follow the rules, so I followed her idea and replied that if she agreed to Dazhifu's resumption of work, our mining farm can also be the same as the brothers, and pay the same three million a year, as expected, as soon as I finished speaking, Ah Hong immediately agreed to Dazhifu's resumption of work."
"That's the way it is."
When he finished speaking, he looked at me with some confusion, wondering why I had brought up the topic again.
"If Ah Hong clearly put forward this condition to Xiaowei, I estimate that she asked us to prepare three million within a month, and she must have made the same request to Xiaowei."
However, Ah Hong, a public official, what does he want so much money for?
Will there be other people behind the scenes?
All puzzles must be answered step by step to find the final truth.
So, I said to Dazhi, "If Xiaowei is in the mining field now, we can go to his place to drink tea and find out." ”
It was immediately clear to him what I was intent.
"Yes, I didn't understand it at the time, and now I don't know what the director is doing, it seems that the brothers should have an extraordinary background, obviously, the brothers and sisters must have a connection with Ah Hong, otherwise we won't do a good job, inexplicably approving a company to compete with us for the market, if so, I guess she and Xiaowei want money, should they act for our brothers?"
If it's really acting, there are too many famous names in it.
Dazhi's words shook my heart.
"If Xiaowei is also asked by Ah Hong at the same time to prepare the original promise of three million within a month, it means that things are not as simple as we thought."
Now go to Xiaowei to find out about the situation on his side, the answer is very critical to the direction of the conclusion.
Only by obtaining clear results can we accurately judge the relationship between the mining farm and several key figures of the GDI Group.
"Let's go, let's go to Xiaowei for tea."
"Yes, I'm going to meet that big god, I've been so confused by this guy for the past two days that I can't find the north."
Dazhi and I think the same thing.
Xiaowei is very important, and he should be able to find a lot of answers we want.
With that, he winked at me.
Xiaowei's unusually good manners to us now, including giving up business, are indeed a bit Shinto and unlogical.
Dazhi was very appreciative of my suggestion to face Xiaowei directly.
Although Xiaowei is very cunning, no matter how cunning the fox is, there are times when he shows his tail, as long as the two of us are attentive, we should be able to get valuable information from him.
Coincidentally, when Dazhi and I walked to the door of the two brothers' good company next door, we just saw Xiaowei returning from the construction site of the mining farm, and he was walking into the office covered in dust.
Xiaowei's on-site office is much more imposing than the temporary setting of me and Dazhi.
Whether it is furniture or various handicraft arrangements, they are all big brands and masterpieces.
The most direct feeling when you walk in is that there is a very strong smell of local tyrants.
The office room is large, a set of modular office furniture is very distinctive, and at the same time, the room is divided into three areas, office, tea ceremony and rest, and the office facilities are readily available.
The room is spacious and bright, and it is refreshing to walk in, and it is completely different from the dusty mining construction site outside.
Xiaowei saw me and Dazhi with a rare smile on his face.
Greet you warmly from afar.
"Whoa, thr... Rare guests, two old... The boss hurried inside please. ”
We were kindly invited into the house for tea.
The weather is good, it is close to early autumn, and the air is not so sultry.
It's a good time to get going.
Although Xiaowei's brothers and sisters are good at the mining farm, there are only a handful of procurement vehicles queuing up outside.
It seems that Xiaowei really doesn't have the posture of killing Dazhifu at present.
We walked into Xiaowei's office.
After greeting each other, they sat down in turn, and after a while, he made tea, and everyone chatted while drinking.
"Big... What are the big countries busy with? Yes... I haven't seen each other in a few days. ”
Xiaowei seemed to be paying attention to my movements, and he knew exactly what I had been away for two days.
"Hey, you don't know me yet, I'm busy, I went to the county two days ago to buy some daily necessities, and relax by the way."
I said to him with a smile.
"In this rural place, I feel aggrieved after staying for a long time, and I need to go out for a walk and change my mood."
"Aha, go... Go to the county seat to relax!? Xiaowei pointed at me with his finger and smiled secretly, laughing very obscenely.
"I see, not to relax, but to go... Go to the county seat to put ...... Let's set off the gun. ”
His stumbling jokes made people laugh a little.
Dazhi also laughed on the side.
After Xiaowei finished speaking, he glanced at my embarrassed appearance and smiled even more happily.
I'm a little embarrassed, it's normal for men to have simple and vulgar jokes, but it's still a bit awkward to be used as a joke by others.
The work in the mining farm is heavy and monotonous, and it is inevitable that people will think about it when they leave this working environment and go to another world full of temptations.
Adult jokes are a darker and darker thing, all explanations are futile, and the best performance of a man in this situation of being ridiculed is to remain silent.
If you deny it, it means that you are not physiologically normal, or you are a hypocrite and a hypocrite; You admit that it means that you live a dissolute life, undisciplined and unrestrained, and may also become your scoop and be widely circulated in your circle of friends, what else can you say?
I thought it would be over with a haha, but I didn't expect that Xiaowei still held on to this joke.
"It's... Is it to go to Guangzhou... Voted? He asked me.
"Hey, how do you know? How do you know that the big country has gone to the Guangtou Building? Hearing Xiaowei mention the name of Guangtou Building, Dazhi was surprised, obviously taken aback.
The joke just now is not over yet, I know the reason why Xiaowei mentioned Guangtou, and I also understand why Dazhi talked about Guangtou's color change.
The ideas of the two of them went in two directions, and they were not the same thing at all.
Xiaowei wants to say that the Guangtou waiter vigorously recommended to me the bathing and leisure project, since I went to the county to relax as a local tyrant, it was none other than the Guangtou Building.
Dazhi, on the other hand, thought that Xiaowei already knew that I had met Ah Hong in Guangtou, and might have guessed the purpose of our surprise visit.
His surprise was that he thought that Xiaowei was like a god.
As everyone knows, although Xiaowei mentioned Guangtou Building, it was not related to Director A Hong, but another topic that was not related.
"Wide... Cast, serve, absolutely... Absolutely. As expected, Xiaowei gave a thumbs up, as if admiring my taste.
"Oh, that's what you two are talking about!" , Dazhi understood what Xiaowei meant, and smiled again.
"You, you know... You know? I'm actually... Or a shareholder of GTI. After that, there was a hint of smugness on Xiaowei's face.
My mind moved, and it seemed that my speculation was justified.
"You are a shareholder of GTI, so you must be very familiar with the bald head?"
"Familiar? Talk ...... I can't talk about it, I'm just participating in individual stocks, and others are ...... It's the boss. ”
Dazhi looked at me suspiciously, obviously he didn't know anything about the bald gangs in the county just like I used to be.
I haven't had time to talk to him about the bald head and the grievances since Huang Lou was a child.
Dazhi is most concerned about the environmental protection bureau's three million Ah Hong, which is also the original intention of the two of us to find Xiaowei, so he began to test Xiaowei with words.
"Alas, little viagra brothers, you two brothers have been on the side of Director A Hong of the Environmental Protection Bureau recently, don't you have anything to say?"
Dazhi's question was a bit too direct.
Xiaowei glanced at Dazhi vigilantly, lowered his head to sort out the tea set, and did not say a word.
"I heard that you two promised to give the environmental protection director three million a year, have you fulfilled it?" Dazhi simply went straight to the showdown.
"No, no, it's ...... Why give money to the EPA? Xiao Wei blinked his little eyes slyly, and his head shook like a rattle.
He lowered his head and took a sip of his tea, then explained why.
"I... As I said, I... I am a shareholder of the investment company, and my brother is good at mining... The company belongs to the Guangtou Group. ”
The implication is very clear, how can such a large group as the GDI Group pay tribute to a small bureau chief?
I was amazed by what he said.
If the two brothers belong to the Guangtou Group, then our current opponent is not just a small mining company that suddenly came out.
Just as Dazhi and I analyzed.
Xiaowei must be a member of Ah Hong's and bald gang circles.
In this way, Ah Hong received three million from his brothers, which is a left-handed and right-handed behavior, which is for Dazhifu to see, but in fact, acting for me and Dazhi.
I originally thought that Ah Hong was just greedy and snobbish, and accepted the black money from us and Xiaowei, and the two families were balanced, a bowl of water was even, it seems that Ah Hong looked up to Ah Hong again, she nominally received good money from the brothers, and on this condition, asked Da Zhifu to pay the same amount, in fact, she also manipulated the related business of the Guangtou Group, is she the good behind-the-scenes boss of the brothers?
Dazhi obviously didn't believe Xiao Wei's words, he thought that Xiao Wei, as Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed halfway, and the actual competitor of the mining farm, should have reservations about things involving trade secrets, and he must not tell the truth.
"No, how can I hear outsiders say that the brothers have to pay three million a year to the Environmental Protection Bureau? And the first money was just cashed out last month, are the rumors false? After speaking, he kicked me under the table, meaning that I should pay attention to Xiaowei's expression with him.
"Yes, yes... There is such a thing. Xiaowei's words are inconsistent, he just said that he didn't need to give money, and now he calmly admits that the money has been cashed, and he doesn't know which sentence is the truth.
"Brother Xiaowei, how do you talk upside down, didn't you just say that you don't need to give money to the Environmental Protection Bureau? Did you give the money or not? ”
I'm a little impatient.
This is a very critical message.
"Give ..... Yes, this little money, should be given..... You have to give it. ”
Xiao Wei once again confirmed the reality of the payment, and at the same time, I was taken aback by the contempt for the three million figures in his expression.
It seems that for him, three million is a drizzle, like going out to the market and spending a few dimes to buy a popsicle for a thirsty child, which is not worth mentioning at all.
I exchanged glances with Daichi.
"So, you've really given all the money to the director?"
"Give... Give it, I've already given it, I'll give... Give her three million, the GDIC company... Si will make up a thousand for me... Ten thousand. Xiao Wei's words were amazing, but his expression was quite calm.
What kind of logic is this? Since the brothers belong to the GTI Group, why should the CGI Company compensate the brothers and the good company with 10 million a year?
Dazhi was also blindsided, and was completely surrounded by Xiaowei's words in the clouds.
However, having said that, both of us began to understand why Xiaowei gave up the business to Dazhifu, the brothers are just a gimmick, to put it bluntly, they are engaged in the shell of a mining farm to compare here, and they don't need to do specific business at all, and they make seven million a year.
He's sitting at home and collecting money.
Compared with a gangster who did not graduate from junior high school, Dazhi and I spent several years to draw up a business plan, and it took several years of blood and sweat to toss that little money, and it became a pediatric.
"You've known Director Hong for a long time, right?" I asked him quietly.
"No... I don't know. Xiaowei also shook his head expressionlessly, it didn't look like he was lying, but it was impossible to determine whether his words were true or false.
"What does Director A Hong have to do with Guangtou Group? Otherwise, how could it be so easy to take care of you and give you the license documents for the mining farm? I asked.
"It's... I have nothing to say about that. ”
After that, Xiaowei completely avoided the topic, and his expression became secretive.
While chatting with him, I watched him carefully, and knew in my heart that the truth of all the core issues could not be derived from his mouth.
At the same time, I suspect that apart from the influence of Ah Hong's husband, who works for the NDRC, even if she herself does not interfere in the core business of the company, any convenience that the company needs will be approved by her.
The sphere of influence of the GDI Group is not limited to the county seat, which I fully understood two days ago.
A Hong, a small bureau chief, is unable to stop the special requirements of some specific forces, which is exactly what makes her smooth and clever way to deal with officials, and it is also the unspoken rule of some local officialdom in today's society.
Thinking of this, I vaguely saw the little truth behind the fog of the mining farm incident.
I realized that it wouldn't be long before the tip of the iceberg of the county-wide business model of the skinhead gangs would slowly surface.
However, just knowing this, how can it be enough to ensure that the small ship of Dazhifu will not capsize in such stormy seas?
I glanced at Dazhi, and through the communication we just had with Xiaowei, he was full of admiration for Xiaowei's way of doing business.
His face was calm, and he drank his tea quietly.
It seems that we are completely unaware that our Dazhifu company is completely in danger.
