In March and April, with the end of the first meeting, the political situation in China has undergone some major changes, the original No. 1 chief's term of office has been retired to the second line, the newly appointed No. 1 chief has made a substantial adjustment to the high-level power structure, some old people have put down the power scepter in their hands and began to semi-retire life, and the new team has begun to vigorously fight corruption with an iron fist, the depth and breadth are unprecedented.

The new No. 1 set up nine anti-tiger teams, which were equivalent to the imperial power era of the Qincha patrol press, which were sent to various regions to fight corruption, and to fight tigers was to fight corruption, and in just two months, more than 10 officials at or above the city level were dismissed one after another, including two senior officials at the provincial and ministerial levels. For a time, there was a lot of rumors in Chinese officialdom, and everyone was in danger of corruption.

Mu Xiangnong has been restless recently, although he has always been cautious and cautious, and he has no bad deeds to worry about being investigated, but in the past four years, it can be said that he has been good at political performance, and now his uncle Xu Da has handed over military power, and only retains the position of honorary president of the Academy of Military Sciences, which can be said to be out of the center of power, which makes him have an ominous premonition, it seems that his career has lost its light, and he moved the idea of retiring, but it is not the right time at such a sensitive time, which makes him in a dilemma.

After the Sixth Dozen Tigers stationed in Wulian cleaned up two prefectural-level tigers (one of which was the number one leader of Li Jiang who was promoted and reused by Mu Xiangnong), they turned their attention to the business world, and two economic predators came into sight, one was the general manager of the monopoly state-owned enterprise ** Telecom, and the other was Jiang Mengyao's father, Jiang Wuyuan, the largest real estate developer in Wulian! Within a few days, these two prominent figures in the Wulian business community were imprisoned and detained in a different place. Jiang Wuyuan's problems are rather complicated, mainly in the use of illegal means to obtain land resources at low prices, bribery, fraudulent use of huge loans, and unauthorized changes in land use, involving a total of tens of billions of yuan, and those criminal deeds in the process of demolition and relocation have become insignificant and petty crimes. The company's assets and personal assets were all seized, Jiang Mengyao's mother and daughter were ordered to move into the luxury villa where they lived within a time limit, and the research institute that Jiang Mengyao had just opened was also included in the scope of the investigation because the funds came from Jiang Wuyuan's company.

Jiang Wuyuan's case directly dragged Mu Xiangnong into a desperate situation, although it was difficult that he did not take a penny of benefits in it, but Jiang Wuyuan was able to do those things, which one was not the face of the big Buddha seen by the relevant officials? The lice on the bald man's head forced him to take the blame and resign, he was a very wise person, he did not go to his uncle Xu Da, and he did not even make a phone call, he knew very well that doing so was a blind man lighting the lamp, and took the initiative to submit his resignation upward, waiting for approval from above, and then getting out of this whirlpool.

This great change hit Jiang Mengyao very hard, from a proud princess suddenly reduced to a criminal daughter who had nothing, the huge psychological gap made her unacceptable, Mu Shenglan also told her not to ask Xu Da for help, because if this matter could be helped, the other side would have reached out a long time ago, and it was impossible to let things get out of control like this, and looking for him at this time could only increase the family's troubles. Mu Shenglan saw this matter very openly, she persuaded her daughter and said, this is what is the cause and what the effect is, Jiang Wuyuan has been addicted to using his father-in-law's power to make money all these years, and he has done too many ambiguous things, sooner or later there will be such a day, it is better to come early if he is late.

Mu Shenglan wanted to take Jiang Mengyao back to Jiuxiang's hometown again and live a few years of dull and peaceful life, but Jiang Mengyao had just founded this laser application research institute with confidence, and the first small project was about to succeed.

Jiang Mengyao has a lonely personality, she usually has no friends, and now the Mu family is in turmoil, and no one comes forward to help her, in order to keep this research institute, she has to go to the Tiger Fighting Team to explain the situation. Captain Xiong Huangang saw that for Mu Xiangnong's sake, he personally received Jiang Mengyao. Jiang Mengyao put forward a request, no matter how the funds Jiang Wuyuan invested in the institute are characterized, she hopes to use the money as a loan, and she is willing to gradually return it from the profits of the institute in the future, so as to keep this scientific research project that benefits the country and the people.

Xiong Huangang was very embarrassed, and only promised to investigate as little as possible to affect the work of the institute, and did not seize the assets of the institute for the time being, but he could not agree to lend it to Jiang Mengyao as a loan, so he could only help her buy as much time as possible, so that she could raise funds to buy this part of the assets before the auction.

The total amount that Jiang Wuyuan invested in the institute was 8 million yuan, which turned out to be just a drop in the bucket, but it was a terrifying astronomical amount for Jiang Mengyao at the moment, she and her mother could barely scrape together 1 million, and her uncle Mu Shengguang, who was the general manager of a state-owned enterprise in a neighboring province, could lend her 1 million, but the difference was still too much. The desperate Jiang Mengyao also thought of Qi Xiaoyang several times, and now for him, this money is just a few drops of drizzle, but no matter what, she can't convince herself to ask Qi Xiaoyang for help, isn't one of the purposes of her establishment of the research institute to fight for a breath, if she opens this mouth, even if she pays it back in the future, she can't afford to say hard words, she never wants to be such a result.

In desperation, Jiang Mengyao decided to find someone to make a joint venture, and she posted a message on Wulian's business website, detailing the current project situation and long-term planning of the research institute, hoping to attract the attention of investors. The effect is still good, and several investors have expressed interest and conducted preliminary investigations, and one of them, a young man named Feng Liren, has attracted Jiang Mengyao's special attention.

Feng Lisheng is in his thirties, although he is not good-looking, but he is a person with a lot of background, there is a huge family behind him, his grandfather Feng Yudao was originally a very influential figure in China, and he is in a high position, although he has now retreated to the second line, but Feng Lisheng's uncle Feng Haiyi has entered a new power center this time, and has served as a deputy state-level important position, which is very important; Feng Lisheng's father Feng Haisi is responsible for the family's business operation, financial investment is its main business, Feng Lisheng is responsible for the H provincial company where Wulian is located, and its business is financial investment, loans, Guarantee-based. And Jiang Mengyao didn't know anything about Feng Lisheng's background, and only regarded him as a businessman with financial strength.

After two telephone exchanges, Feng Lisheng went to the institute to inspect the project on the spot and conduct substantive investment negotiations with Jiang Mengyao. Feng Lisheng, who has a white face and thin eyebrows and fine eyes, looks very educated, and speaks unhurriedly:" Ms. Jiang, I have a general understanding of the situation of your project, and I am also quite optimistic about the prospects of the research project you are engaged in, according to your financing needs, I will provide you with two plans for your reference, one is to use all the assets of the research institute as collateral, directly to our company to raise 6 million, according to our rules for external financing, that is, the monthly interest rate is about 3 percent, you can redeem these properties in installments; the second plan is that our company directly injects 6 million yuan and establishes a new company with you to operate and manage the research institute, and we account for 60 percent of the shares%, you have 40% in the form of two million cash and technology shares, you are responsible for the management of the business, and we send people to manage the finance and administration. Of these two options, you consider which one is more suitable for you. ”

Jiang Mengyao replied without hesitation: "If I can, I will choose the first option, but can Mr. Feng consider reducing the interest a little, if the monthly interest rate is three percent, it will be close to 40% this year!"

Feng Lisheng said with a smile: "Girls may not know much about our industry, you can make a comparison, this nature of financing risk is relatively large, other companies are generally above 5%, our standard can be said to be the lowest in Wulian." In fact, I suggest that you choose the second way, although you may have to pay more profits, but there is no pressure to repay, you can calmly focus on the research project, say something you don't mind, this may also bring you another benefit, establish a cooperative relationship with us, if the relationship can go further, it may be a big turnaround for you. ”

These words made Jiang Mengyao feel faintly unhappy in her heart, although Feng Lisheng's language was very subtle, the meaning was not difficult to understand. "Thank you for your kindness, if you use the method of joint shares, my bottom line is that no more than 50% of the shares will be transferred, and the funds in excess of this proportion can only be used as a loan, otherwise I would rather choose the first way. Jiang Mengyao's attitude is very resolute, because whether the research institute can do well in the future depends mostly on technology, not on funds, and she would rather give up everything in front of her than be completely led by others.

"No problem, I will try my best to support you whichever way you choose, I will go back and draft an agreement to pass to you, and it is not too late for you to make the final choice after you have considered it yourself. After Feng Lisheng finished speaking, he stood up and shook hands with Jiang Mengyao in a dashing manner to say goodbye.

Seeing Feng Lisheng away, Jiang Mengyao sat in the living room and fell into deep thought. The two plans do have their own benefits, but if 60% of the shares are in the hands of others, it means that they will lose most of the initiative and become a part-time worker to a certain extent, which will completely go against their original intention of founding the institute, as for Feng Lisheng said that the relationship can further bring her a turnaround, Jiang Mengyao directly ignored it, perhaps because of her pride since childhood, she is very resistant to this kind of naked exchange of interests, if the so-called relationship has another meaning, she will not hesitate to refuse this cooperation. But Feng Lisheng didn't fully explain what he said, Jiang Mengyao hoped that he had thought too much.

The next morning, Feng Lisheng sent someone to send two draft financing agreements, and at the same time provided an unexpected third plan, with only a simple sentence, he could privately lend Jiang Mengyao 6 million. There was no reason, no conditions, and no explanation, but Jiang Mengyao understood that her vague premonition yesterday was not too careful, she sneered and threw the two agreements on the desk, ready to completely give up the plan to raise money from Feng Lisheng.

Jiang Mengyao called Feng Lisheng, saying that he had given up his financing plan and made a decision on the matter, but he did not say the reason, did not explain, and did not give Feng Lisheng a chance to continue talking. Feng Lisheng called again and asked Jiang Mengyao to have dinner and chat again, but Jiang Mengyao said that he was busy and coldly refused.

The next day, when Jiang Mengyao was negotiating with another investment company, her grandfather Mu Xiangnong called and asked her to come over for dinner. Jiang Mengyao knew that her father's case had put her grandfather in a predicament, so she hadn't mentioned it to him at all, and when she received this call, she thought that he knew about it and wanted to help her, so she immediately rushed to the provincial party committee compound. Walking into the small building where Mu Xiangnong lived, there was still a period of time before eating, Jiang Mengyao saw her mother Mu Shenglan sitting in the living room, her face was very bad.

"Mom, what did my grandfather cook today and called you here?" Jiang Mengyao pretended not to see her mother's expression, and pretended to shout easily.

"Yaoyao, come and sit down, I'll ask you something. Mu Shenglan ignored her daughter's words and asked worriedly, "Have you been in contact with a person surnamed Feng in the past two days?"

Jiang Mengyao was surprised: "Feng Lisheng, I talked to him about financing these days, but it didn't work out, what's wrong?"

"Alas!" Mu Shenglan sighed, did not answer her daughter's question, but said seemingly unrelated words: "Yaoyao, my mother never took you to those official gatherings, nor did she let you come into contact with those official children, do you know why? Just because you are beautiful, my mother is afraid that you will be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for political interests!" Born in a family like ours, it is fortunate and unfortunate, my mother has seen too many such things, and has been carefully protecting you, hoping that you can choose your own life according to your own wishes, but you are good"

Jiang Mengyao heard it in a fog, frowned, and said, "Mom, the more you talk, the more confused you become, what the hell is going on, what does this have to do with the surname Feng?"

"Do you know who this person is named Feng Lisheng? He is the nephew of Feng Haiyi, the current ** committee member, and his uncle called his grandfather this morning, do you understand?" replied Mu Shenglan.

Jiang Mengyao still didn't react: "But does this have anything to do with me? Although the investment was not negotiated, I didn't offend him!"

"Forget it, your grandfather will tell you about this soon, you can do it yourself. Mu Shenglan did not give an explanation.

"Yaoyao is here, come on, sit down here, grandpa will talk to you. Mu Xiangnong walked into the living room and greeted happily, it seemed that he was in a good mood today, with a smile on his face.

Jiang Mengyao sat down with Mu Xiangnong and looked at him worriedly, not knowing what his grandfather would say that made his mother so worried.

"Yaoyao, you've been talking about it for so many years, how is your grandfather treating you?" asked Mu Xiangnong casually.

"Of course it's good, grandpa, why did you suddenly ask like this, could it be that I" Jiang Mengyao's heart tightened.

Mu Xiangnong waved his hand to interrupt her: "Just know that grandpa is good, Yaoyao, our family doesn't talk to each other, if you can help grandpa now, would you like to contribute?"
