Chapter 826 Zhao Ruilong’s Plan (2)
Zhao Ruilong said impatiently: "Don't I know? But I have to obey my second sister's orders. Stop talking nonsense and destroy all the information."
"It can't be destroyed, Mr. Zhao. Don't blame me for not listening to your orders this time. We spent a lot of effort and money to bring Gao Yuliang into this situation. If we destroy this information, we won't even be able to get our money back." Du Bozhong said earnestly.
"Don't worry, my sister has already promised to give me a hotel, so the loss is almost over."
"Almost the same? I think there's a world of difference." Du Bozhong stood up suddenly. "Mr. Zhao, business doesn't work that way. If we controlled Gao Yuliang, we could have opened at least ten or twenty hotels in Haizhou. Now we've only got one. Tell me, are we losing money or making a profit?"
This was the first time Zhao Ruilong had heard of such a calculation method, and he was stunned for a moment. "I...I understand this logic, but I can't go against the wishes of my father and my sister.
Not only will it offend my sister and my dad, it could also offend a whole bunch of people."
Du Bozhong sat down again and asked quietly, "Are you talking about He Jiyuan, the provincial party secretary?"
"He... counts as one."
"Didn't you say... that he couldn't take care of himself? Why would he get involved in this matter?"
"That's just to deal with my dad, who's too busy to handle himself. It's just a matter of saying he can deal with us. Actually, he's not important. What's important is that Lao Gao has a good student. To be honest, I'm a little scared of this person. By the way, do you know who his good student is?"
"Isn't he your brother-in-law, Hou Liangping?"
Zhao Ruilong said angrily: "He's just a pretty boy, do you think I'm afraid of him?"
"Then I don't know. Lao Gao has quite a lot of students, all over the Handong political and legal system. Honestly, I think taking Lao Gao down is the best decision we've made. His students alone can bring us a lot of benefits."
"Hey, those are just a few of them. His most famous student is Qi Tongwei."
"Qi Tongwei?" Du Bozhong recalled, "I seem to have heard you say that he went to the Han River, didn't he?"
"He did go to Hanjiang, but his influence was huge. From Hanjiang, it affected Handong, and also affected my whole family, from my father to my elder and second sisters. There was no one he couldn't influence. Tell me, isn't that powerful?" He added bitterly, "This Qi Tongwei is so insidious and cunning. He ruined my good deeds several times, not to mention it.
I don’t know what kind of magic potion he used to get a large group of people to support him.
It's fine if my eldest sister admires him, but now even my second sister, who has always been against him, is in awe of him. Tell me, do I still dare to go against Lao Gao?"
Zhao Ruilong waved his hands helplessly. "Forget it, forget it. He's just the mayor, right? We can't control him, but if we can control his secretary, we can still use his name to do things for us. It won't affect us."
Du Bozhong was anxious, "Who said it won't have an impact? It will have a huge impact, Mr. Zhao. How can a secretary compare with a leader?"
"Then what do you say we should do?"
"If you ask me, we have to keep this information. It's our trump card and we must have it. Besides, things in the political arena are changing rapidly. You and the Zhao family might need it someday, and it would be difficult to get it out then.
As for now, we can completely change our strategy and think of a way to make Gao Yuliang's situation voluntary instead of forced. That way, no one can say anything bad about you, Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Ruilong was moved.
Lao Gao, the mayor of Haizhou City, is too valuable. In a city worth hundreds of billions, even a little bit of money from the gaps between his fingernails is enough for them to make a living. He doesn't want to give up at all unless it is absolutely necessary.
But Gao Yuliang is not a simple person. What if something goes wrong?
After hesitating for a while and thinking about the consequences, Zhao Ruilong was still a little undecided.
"Why don't we just forget about it? Didn't you say last time that you were planning to open that hot pot restaurant worth 100 million or 200 million? With that piece of meat, there's no need for us to fight to the death with Lao Gao, right?"
Du Bozhong's eyes evaded, and he shook his head. "It didn't work. I don't know how those two brothers managed to hook up with a powerful deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Department. This deputy director arrested all my men."
"He's just a deputy director. Do you want me to help?"
Du Bozhong waved his hand. "Forget it. I've inquired and found out that the deputy director is He Jiyuan's man. There's no need for us to make such a big fuss over a few hundred million."
When Zhao Ruilong heard that it was the Provincial Party Secretary He Jiyuan's man, he lost his temper.
Even though he looks down on He Jiyuan, the provincial party secretary is still the provincial party secretary after all. Even if he has no backing, he can still take the case to the central government.
His father seemed to be suppressing the other person, but this was only when the other person didn't turn the table over.
If they really flip the table and complain to their superiors, both of them will have to sit on the bench.
Zhao Ruilong sighed, "So, there's no such thing as a market economy here. It's all a fucking power economy. Without background, it's impossible to make an industry this big."
Du Bozhong echoed: "Yes, yes."
……
He Anxia has not had a very happy year. This time, his deputy secretary is really willing to risk his life and fight him to the end.
He repeatedly expressed the intention of a do-or-die battle in the Standing Committee, which caused such a big commotion that even the Provincial Party Committee heard about it.
So, Pei Yihong, the provincial party committee, asked him to come to the provincial capital to explain the situation.
The explanation lasted until the afternoon before He Anxia came out of the provincial party committee compound.
After coming out, He Anxia did not return to Beishan. Instead, he stopped at an intersection, gave the driver a break, and took a taxi alone to a villa area called Hanjiang Waterside.
The banks of the Han River are built along the river and are the first-class wealthy area of the Han River.
The taxi stopped at the gate. He Anxia swiped his card and walked in. He drove the leisure vehicle specially provided by the property and stopped at an inconspicuous courtyard.
A woman was already waiting at the door.
The woman was none other than Liu Lan, the proprietress of a small cottage on the lakeside next to Guangming Lake in Handong.
Qi Tongwei guessed correctly, Liu Lan was indeed He Anxia's mistress.
"coming."
"Well, here we come."
Entering the house, Liu Lan, like a wife, gently took off He Anxia's heavy coat and said, "I see you guys in Beishan are quite busy lately. How come you still have time to come here?"
He Anxia didn't want to bring trouble to Liu Lan, so he smiled and said, "No matter how busy the city is, it's Tongwei's business. Anyway, I can't help much, so I can just travel around and enjoy the scenery."
Liu Lan pursed her lips and smiled. "You? You rely on him for everything. What will you do when you go somewhere else? You can't always take him with you."
He Anxia also laughed, "I would like to take him with me, but I think this kid will rise faster than me, so it's almost enough for him to take me with him."
Liu Lan said: "You have more confidence in him than in yourself."
He Anxia asked in return: "Don't you think highly of him?"
Liu Lan shook her head, then nodded and said, "It's not that I don't think highly of him, it's that I don't think highly of the unspoken rules in our officialdom.
In official circles, a person's ability is just one condition; the most important thing is whether he has people behind him.
His background isn't as deep as yours, so even if he were more capable, he'd still have to linger at the department level for at least ten years."
He Anxia said, "You guessed wrong, this guy has a very strong background.
When he was in Haizhou, he saved the daughter of a vice-provincial-level official. With this connection, I bet he'll have no problem reaching the vice-provincial level within eight years."
"Eight years, then you'll be faster than him."
"If I follow this timeline, I will indeed be faster than him, but he has always been a rule-breaker. I've heard that the higher-ups plan to promote him after the leadership change this year. If I follow this timeline, maybe he'll be able to get promoted in five years."
"Five years? That means he has great potential."
