Volume 3 Brothers Chapter 18: Taking the Initiative (Part 1)
The gun commander was very lucky. Ouyang's words opened his eyes. This knowledgeable person has many twists and turns. Why can't I be as good as him? The first thing to do now is to get Wang Daming out. Then what?
Ouyang said, "We can't not move now, but we can't move too obviously. Didn't you send people to keep an eye on them? Now withdraw the people and arrange how to become invisible. This hiding is not just hiding, but completely disappearing from the world. They can disappear, but you can't. You are now the focus of attention, and your every move is under the eyes of others. Well, you can consider letting them fight. Where is Zhao Yun now?"
The gunner laughed and said, "I haven't seen him for more than two months since I gave him the list of spies. I guess he's competing to be the best detective."
Ouyang smiled and said, "It's good that he's not here. You can hand over the list of these people and their handles to the secretary named Zhong. Let's see how they react. After you hand it over, your safety will be temporarily guaranteed. You might as well plan an escape route. You should try your best to disperse the assets of Tianyuan Group. Donate if you can, and constantly improve your social status and influence. Try to be in the limelight as much as possible. Anyway, you love to do this kind of thing the most."
The gun captain was heartbroken. Asking him to donate money was like cutting flesh from his hand, and it was cutting without anesthesia. "Besides donating money, is there any other way?"
Ouyang scolded, "Look at your lack of ambition. Money is something outside of one's body. With your current ability, you can make money everywhere. Even if you use some shady means, billions can be easily obtained! Anyway, the money of Longcheng Group is all ill-gotten gains. If you spend it all, you will win the favor of important departments. They will think that you are not greedy and may even help you at a critical moment."
The gun commander still felt painful. He had more than 1 billion in his hands, beautiful women, luxury cars and mansions, but he had to watch them fly away like this? "Teacher, can I set up a charity fund myself? Or go to a famous university to set up a scholarship or something? If this money falls into the hands of some project, it will be stripped away layer by layer, and there may not be much left when it comes to the place where it is really used."
Ouyang sneered, "That has nothing to do with you. The amount of money you donated is what it is. If you want to use the money to repair the school or something, it will damage your image. People will definitely think that you want to benefit from it . Although the money is yours, people's minds are like that. Don't feel bad anymore. Tomorrow, you should find Secretary Zhong first, give him the list and related evidence, and then hold a press conference immediately. It would be best if CCTV can pay attention to it. Now is the SARS period, right? Donate 50 million for SARS prevention and treatment. Donate another 50 million to the Hope Project in a week, and donate another 50 million on World AIDS Day. Humph, I don't believe that 150 million won't hurt others!"
The spear captain laughed uglier than crying, thinking: You old man, just opening your mouth means 150 million, not to mention hurting others, I'm in so much pain before you even start.
At that moment, Ouyang was arranged to stay in Tianyuan's luxury suite. The gun captain immediately called to call Hutou and others back. Ouyang said that he wanted to hide these people and make them invisible! How can this be done? Except for the five people of Hutou, the others... the others... The gun captain had a headache when he entered. Let them be security guards? No, it's too obvious. Going to the countryside to hide is not a good idea either. There are too many people and the target is obvious. Forget it, recruit them first. Wu Wenbing has already bought an old warehouse. He quickly renovated it. When Hutou comes back, he will use it as a base! Damn it! Damn it! I have also become a member of Al-Qaeda! Let's ask the old man. Alas, this matter is really a headache!
Zhong Ruowen looked at the check in his hand again, and his heart felt as sweet as if he had drunk honey. Damn, today must be a day of great fortune and luck. In less than a month, he got 500,000 yuan and also got a document of meritorious service. This Chen is really my lucky star.
After listening to the gun captain's story about Long Zhenbang, Zhong Ruowen despised the gun captain greatly! He had so much hard evidence, but he didn't know how to use it. It seemed that he was just a money-minded guy. The gun captain seemed to see through his mind: "I am on good terms with my brothers, so I am giving you a chance to be promoted. Don't have any ideas, brother. I can give this thing to you and to others. Brother, you must act impartially. This is not a joke, and you can't afford it!"
Zhong Ruowen smiled without changing his expression and said, "Look at what Big Brother is saying. I have the will but not the courage. Don't worry, I will rush back to the hall right away. The longer this thing stays in my hand, the hotter it gets."
The spearman nodded, cursing in his heart: Don't pretend to be pure with me, you are not a good thing to take my money, humph, if I need it, I will give it to you cheaply? But he smiled and said: "That's good, brother is a very smart person, you should hurry up and do Wang Daming's business."
After Zhong Ruowen said goodbye, the gun captain went straight to attend the press conference held in the Tianyuan Building. At the same time, he called the provincial government secretariat to report on the donation. The media and the government responded enthusiastically. For the government, this is a political achievement. It is a critical period now. Someone has stood up to fight the epidemic. No matter what method is used, this is a positive performance. In recent times, apart from the epidemic reports required by the government, the media has really not had any good news. Now it is learned that someone has donated 50 million, which is no small amount!
The gun commander kept laughing in the flashlight, but in his heart he was crying and cursing: Ouyang, you old man, I picked you up here to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. If you couldn't afford to set up a tent, I would find you dozens of beautiful girls to make your old bones numb. Damn it, damn it! His fingers kept flexing, one, two, three, four, five, fifty million. The reporter's questions also made the gun commander very irritated.
"Mr. Chen, what is your purpose for donating at this time?"
The spearman laughed and said, "If it is for the sake of buying a good reputation, 50 million may be too expensive. If it is out of patriotism, it may make everyone laugh. So my goal is very simple, to reduce the number of deaths, eliminate SARS as soon as possible, and return to normal life. 50 million is just a small contribution of our Tianyuan Group to fight SARS."
"Mr. Chen, Tianyuan Group has only been established for two months. The outside world is generally not optimistic about Mr. Chen's investment in the metal mineral market, and believes that this is an extremely failed investment. What do you think?"
The spearman thought for a moment before saying, "Whether this is a failed investment or not, I think only time will tell. Let's wait and see."
In the evening, Zhang Liqiu saw the gun captain on the provincial news and laughed so hard that tears streamed down her face: "Husband, you look so silly, God, why didn't I find you so cute? Hahaha, your face turned pale and you even trembled when you spoke. I was dying of laughter..."
The gun chief had a gloomy face and said nothing. He was furious in his heart. Damn it, this is my first time on TV. I must get plastic surgery in the future. It's really embarrassing. It's really embarrassing. My mouth is too big. How come I look like an old monkey? I'm not that ugly, but when he saw himself on TV, the gun chief's heart was broken and he was heartbroken!
Ouyang also laughed loudly in the hotel, cursing as he laughed: "This brat, he doesn't behave properly on TV, hahaha, it seems he needs more training."
Except for Wang Dafang who was staring at her lover on TV, everyone around the gun captain burst into laughter. Now Wang Dafang's belly was bulging and she was almost five months pregnant.
As soon as Zhong Ruowen submitted his materials, he was immediately received by the main leaders of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, and he was told to abide by organizational discipline and not leak any information without authorization. This matter was of great importance and might very well be the largest corruption case since the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection reported the relevant situation to the central government in detail through an internal fax and immediately sent people to Beijing, including Zhong Ruowen. But this guy almost fainted when he heard that he had to go to Beijing. That place was a severely affected area of the epidemic. What if he got infected... He cursed the gun commander's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, but did he dare not go?
Zhao Yun took the telegram from Zhao Shiguo and said nothing. Zhao Shiguo smiled bitterly and said, "This guy is really not simple. Does he think the country is not in chaos enough? You know? The leader is also in a dilemma now. This is really too insidious."
Zhao Yun murmured, "Why didn't he give it to me in the first place?"
Zhao Shiguo smiled and said, "Don't blame him. If it was given to you, you would probably be under investigation by now. How could you join the action team? Hehe, our network is very smooth. This SARS has both advantages and disadvantages. I didn't expect it to be so easy to get things done quietly."
Zhao Yun also came back to his senses and nodded , "During the SARS period, the entire country was on alert, and various industries were subject to different restrictions. I heard that the last group will be back tomorrow?"
Zhao Shiguo smiled and said, "We closed the case in less than three months. It was very fast. This is the biggest espionage case I have ever handled. Thank you for the information, brother."
Zhao Yun smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for that kid, we wouldn't have been able to solve the case so successfully! Big brother, can you let me join in..."
Zhao Shiguo waved his hand to stop Zhao Yun from speaking, and whispered: "You'd better not take the initiative to intervene in this case. If nothing unexpected happens, you are from Province Y, and they will definitely transfer you there. If you apply, it will only make things worse."
As expected by Zhao Shiguo, the next day, an internal transfer letter came, asking Zhao Yun and Zhao Shiguo to join the newly established special task force. Their task was simple, to investigate Chen Siqing of Tianyuan Group. The task force was divided into seven teams. Zhao Yun and Zhao Shiguo were in the first team and rushed to Province Y. After Zhong Ruowen explained the ins and outs of the materials, he went back first and was not included in the special task force.
When Zhao Yun was about to leave, the leader of the task force made a special trip to gather the captains of each team. He and Zhao Shiguo were both captains. The leader's message was just one thing: act with caution and never alert the enemy!
Three days later, Tiger Head came back. The gun commander was very happy. After discussing with Ouyang, he decided that Bai Shusheng would go to Shenzhen to set up an import and export company and apply to set up an office in Hong Kong. He would send all these people to Hong Kong to lay a good foundation there. The retreat was the most important thing. Bai Shusheng was in charge of this matter, and the others stayed in Province Y. Each of the 26 special forces received 200,000 yuan from the gun commander. They had a week to return to their hometowns and then go to Shenzhen on time to apply for the job 15 days later.
Tiger Head, Little Monkey, Yellow Gallbladder and Li Mazi took Stone and Ouyang to the manor on the outskirts of the city, while the spear chief continued his plan of cutting flesh. When Zhao Yun came back, he happened to catch up with the spear chief donating to the Hope Project at the Tianyuan Building. The government representative who accepted the donation was the vice governor, who praised the spear chief very much. He donated 100 million in two weeks. Even Li Ka-shing had never done such a big thing. The spear chief handed the money to others with tears in his eyes, and he had to make an impassioned speech to revitalize the education cause of the motherland, etc., etc.!
Zhao Yun kept sneering, saying, "You kid is just a plate of dog meat, you don't deserve to be at a banquet. No matter how much you donate, it won't change your character."
But just as Ouyang said, this 100 million made many people jump up and down. Lin Changfu was the most excited one. He yelled angrily: "Little Si dog, he still wants to turn over and become the master. What on earth does he want to do?" He called the gun chief directly and said: "Brother Siqing, what are you doing?"
The spear chief cried, "Brother Lin, if it wasn't for your future, do you think I would be willing to throw money away like this?" Lin Changfu didn't react for a long time after hearing this, "Brother Siqing, you are doing this for us?" The spear chief sighed, "Brother, if I'm not doing this for you, who would I be doing this for? These are bundles of money. I'll build my reputation first, and then I can carry your sedan chairs and pull ox carts in the future. No one will suspect me, right? Why can't you see through my brother's painstaking efforts?"
Lin Changfu had to smile bitterly. This guy is really a piece of shit. He is so famous now. He is a philanthropist who fights SARS and supports education. Who knows what he will donate next time. Now we have to think carefully before we touch him. He laughed a few times with the gun captain, hung up the phone, and immediately called Tieyun: "Do you know what Xiao Sigou did?" Tieyun was also confused: "I know, his donation activities are reported everywhere. This guy is really a piece of shit. He is playing this trick on us. Aren't we underestimating him?"
Lin Changfu was moved and asked, "Could he have a deal with someone else?"
Tieyun was stunned for a moment, and asked anxiously: "You mean he sold us out?" Lin Changfu said coldly: "It's very likely, it seems we underestimated him!" Tieyun thought for a while and analyzed: "Now he is just donating money, there is no sign yet, I don't think he will be willing to let us go, right? Hehe, this kind of temptation is not something that ordinary people can refuse."
Lin Changfu said: "What if someone is helping him? With his greedy and lustful personality, would he be willing to spend so much money? Besides, this money is also ours. Now he is using it to buy reputation and pretend to be a good person. He deserves death!"
Tieyun said, "Don't worry. I'll discuss this with my second uncle and ask if anyone in Province Y has been close to Xiao Sigou recently."
Lin Changfu said, "I'll inform everyone to stay still and see how the situation develops. Let's put it off for now with Second Uncle. Forget it. Let's talk to him. We'll have to rely on him a lot in the future."
Tieyun laughed and said, "Aren't you being too careful? I think that little Sigou is just a bastard. He can't have such a high IQ. He is proud of the obvious things of Longcheng Group. Hehe, I don't believe he can come up with any tricks. Don't worry, there are so many of us, and he is just a little hooligan. Just calm down and do your job well."
Lin Changfu felt that he was a little too panicked when Tieyun said this. That's right, he was a labor camp prisoner, and he was guilty of the most despicable crime of rape. How could such a person turn the tables? Besides, there was Zhao Datong. If it didn't work, he could just let him come forward. It would be as easy as crushing an ant.
