Volume 4: Escape Chapter 07 Prelude (Part 1)
At noon the next day, everyone who had not slept all night waited for Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun first came to the temporary mourning hall, performed the etiquette of a son and nephew, knelt down and burned incense. In front of the coffin was a picture made with a computer. The gun chief's father had never taken a photo in his life, and this picture was also drawn with a computer. At this time, the gun chief's eyes were red. Zhao Yun learned that the killer was not killed by the gun chief, and he breathed a sigh of relief. However, after Ouyang and the gun chief analyzed all the situations, the value of the white snake was no longer of any use.
When the gun chief proposed to go to the United States, Zhao Yun fell into deep thought. He was weighing the pros and cons. If he wanted to go to the United States, then the White Snake would become a very key figure. First of all, it was important to keep it secret. Then, he had to pry open the White Snake's mouth and dig out all his things. The third thing was about the disguise. Of course, for the country, it didn't matter whether it was good or bad. Anyway, Zhao Datong was just the leader of the black gang in the United States. Besides, the place where the trouble happened was in the United States. What the gun chief did had nothing to do with the country. But now that the gun chief told him about it, it meant that the government knew about it. As for whether it could, or was willing to help the gun chief, it depended on what the gun chief was willing to do for the country. No matter what the relationship was, it must be based on interests. Then it depended on how to help. This could only be understood but not expressed in words! Anyway, the identity of the gun chief had nothing to do with the government. Even if he did something terrible, it was just his personal behavior.
After Zhao Yun discussed everything with Zhao Shiguo, the two reached a consensus. Zhao Shiguo took action immediately, and the spear captain smuggled his father's body out of the city as soon as possible. If anyone knew about it, it would definitely be cremated.
Without setting off firecrackers or playing funeral music, a group of more than a dozen people moved quietly. Juhua, Liqiu, and Dalin were forced to stay in the manor by the spear chief. Now they have reconciled with Zhao Datong, but Lin Changfu and others may send people to add fuel to the fire. No matter who dies, it is something that the spear chief is extremely unwilling to do. Zhao Yun did not follow the spear chief. He was waiting for news from Zhao Shiguo. As long as it was approved by the higher-ups, action would be taken immediately against Lin Changfu and others, and he must not be allowed to stir up trouble again.
Xiaobai had returned to Banpo earlier than the gun chief. He had started preparing for all the funeral affairs, including asking a fortune teller to look at the land, repairing the grave, and buying a coffin. The villagers were very enthusiastic about weddings and funerals. When the news spread, all the relatives from the surrounding villages and towns came. There is strength in numbers. When the gun chief saw his hometown again, he was inexplicably excited. He had never felt that the mountains and rivers here were so beautiful and charming. However, when he came back, he was carrying the coffin of his father. In order not to expand the impact, the gun chief only told Xiaobai that the patient was in the advanced stage of liver cancer and died after ineffective treatment. This also saved the simple neighbors from being involved in the dark and sinful incident.
The gun chief waited for his father's body to be put into the coffin. The body had been replaced with the latest black gauze corpse clothes, a total of nine pieces, and then wrapped with special water paper layers. This was done to prevent the body from decomposing in the future, and these papers would absorb the body water. After the village's Taoist ceremony began, there were the sounds of trumpets and gongs everywhere, the sound of chanting sutras, firecrackers, paper money, red incense, and white candles. The gun chief was wearing white linen and a linen rope around his waist, kneeling quietly in front of the spirit. Chen Cangshu accompanied the gun chief and sighed frequently, your father was not lucky, you are rich now, but he is gone, your father's life is not worth it...
The gun captain's tears had long dried up, and he suddenly felt numb. What's the use of money? Can it bring the dead back to life? What's the use of fame? Can it bring my father back to life?
Chen Cangshu's daughters were busy inside and outside. The Yin-Yang Master was the most famous in the neighborhood. He found a good site for the father of the gun chief. Behind the tomb, there were rocks and pearls, with villages on the left and water on the right. The gods were welcoming the water mouth. The mountain was high and the city was curved. There were warehouses on the four mountains, and the green dragon brought three warehouses. It was the main reason that his descendants would be rich and store grain for generations. It was also the Xunlong position. It was a fortune of 200 years and the descendants would be far away. It was a good fortune for three years.
The coffin, which had been staying at Banpo for half a month, finally waited for an auspicious day.
Before leaving, the gun chief gave Chen Cangshu one million, not for anything else, but to repay his kindness. He asked Chen Cangshu to use the money to develop coal mines in the local area, which was enough for several generations of wealth. Chen Cangshu was very moved. In fact, the gun chief did this just to transfer his filial piety to his father to Chen Cangshu, which was another kind of compensation. In addition, he sent 100,000 to Zhang San's family, hoping that Zhang San could transfer the money to Zhang Chun. No matter how much hatred there was at the beginning, the villagers always faced everything with an inclusive mind. In addition, today's gun chief is no longer a thief in the past. Zhang San's family was very polite to the gun chief and helped him during the funeral. The gun chief did not learn from other families to collect money from relatives. He did not lack this money. People often came to buy some paper money and show their feelings. He took out a full 100,000 yuan for the work, and 20 big fat pigs. He must have enough, good wine and meat. The gun chief thought, I used to eat and drink in my family. Will I come back in the future? Juhua is studying very well now, and she will soon forget this poor land.
Zhao Yun stayed in Y Province during the past half month. Zhao Shiguo came twice. Bai She did not go through any judicial procedures. During this period, the spear chief clearly answered Zhao Datong that he was willing to release Bai She, but it must be released after a month. Although Zhao Datong did not understand why the spear chief did this, saving Bai She was more important to him than anything else. If Zhao Xiaotong was his biological son, then Bai She was the person second only to Zhao Xiaotong.
After the spear chief went back, Bai Shusheng and the others all came back, and the manor was renovated again. Half a month later, it had changed a lot. Dalin and Liqiu stayed here. Bai Shusheng divided the twenty-six people into groups of two to form Team 13, mainly to protect Wen Dejiu, Wu Wenbing and Zheng Dezhui. The rest all moved into the manor, but Lin Changfu did not send anyone to cause trouble again, which bought the spear chief enough time.
Zhao Yun was very distressed. He had used all the torture methods, but the White Snake still didn't say a word. When the spear master saw the White Snake again, he didn't hate her so much. She had already left the world, and killing the White Snake would only add a pile of dirt. Seeing this, Ouyang smiled at the spear master and said, "You might as well try the method I taught you."
The spear master and the white snake stayed inside for a day and a night. No one knew what he said or did to the white snake, but the white snake's eyes had lost their vitality. Although the whole person was still alive, he had become a living dead. Zhao Yun was extremely surprised and shouted to the spear master: "What's going on? Boy, teach me! Damn, if there is this method, I will save a lot of trouble in the future." The spear master laughed and said: "Seventh brother, this is the master's secret skill, which cannot be passed on to others."
Zhao Yun scolded, "You little bastard, don't be so complacent! Do you want to know what the higher-ups mean? Hey, this is a state secret. I won't tell anyone who is not a member of our party!"
Ouyang smiled and said, "Seventh Brother, don't bother with him. It's just a trivial skill. If you are interested, I will teach you sometime." Zhao Yun winked at the spear leader and said, "How is it? Haha, thank you, second brother! When Brother Zhao Shiguo comes, we will discuss the details. He is the leader now. Haha, he will be responsible for all matters. Let me first tell you the purpose above. In a word, your actions are purely personal. There are two other things that need your help!"
The gun captain said happily: "I can also serve the country, damn it! I haven't done anything bad in almost half a year. It's really a bit uncomfortable. Being a philanthropist is also a painful thing." Everyone laughed after hearing this.
The next day, Captain Gun attended the monthly meeting of Tianyuan Company. He had not asked about it for several months and had no idea how Tianyuan was doing now. Apart from donations, he had become a pure hands-off boss since Wen Dejiu, Zheng Dezhuo and Wu Wenbing were in charge of Tianyuan.
The meeting was also chaired by Zheng Dezhu: "The first item is the business reports. Mr. Chen is attending the meeting today, so everyone should talk about the performance in the past six months."
Wu Wenbing smiled and said, "Let me go first. Haha, it's time to ask for credit. In August, we bought 30,000 square meters of the Second Ring Road for 60 million. A park is going to be built here soon. In order to turn over funds, we sold it to Sunshine Real Estate for 90 million. In September, we sold the warehouse of the original material company. Mr. Chen has an impression of this. If you hadn't come to do some training, this business would have been lost. This location is a prime location. We jointly built a luxury residential community with the Provincial First Construction Company. Haha, what makes people very happy is that as soon as the design drawings came out, all our suites have been sold out! This is an unprecedented performance in the real estate industry. Now we are planning to win over several old collective enterprises in the old city renovation. All their real estate is worth about 100 million yuan. Now our real estate funds have increased from the initial 100 million to the current 200 million. That is to say, in half a year, we have made a net profit of 100 million for Tianyuan! The projects are the above three. Haha, Mr. Chen, what can you comment on? You made 50 million at a time, and 200 million in half a year! We earn faster than you spend."
Chief Gun laughed and said, "I spent my own money. I didn't touch a cent of the company's cash. Don't be so mean to me. Haha, I'm going to keep my word. I'll give 30% to reward everyone! I'll leave it to Vice President Wen to handle now."
Tianyuan Hotel manager Yang Chengtong said with a smile: "Our hotel department is not as good as the real estate department, but the performance in the past six months is amazing. The occupancy rate has reached 70%. Hehe, this can be described as hot in the hotel industry. One hundred and forty-one meetings of all sizes have been held in Tianyuan, and the income from this alone has reached 10 million. To make a long story short, our hotel department's income by the end of October was 33 million. I won't talk about the small change. Mr. Chen should not be interested in the small change."
The gun chief was very surprised. He thought it was expected that the real estate department would make money. The combination of Wu Wenbing and Zi Zhengshan could be said to be the best partner in real estate. But the hotel department actually had such a good business! The gun chief was very happy. You guys should work hard to make money. I will donate whatever you earn. Anyway, I am addicted to donating now.
"I propose that Manager Yang Chengtong be promoted to Vice President of Tianyuan! What do you think?" He was responded with a round of applause. Zheng Dezhu rolled his eyes and said, "You, the hands-off manager, should have come to listen a long time ago. Xiao Yang is such an excellent talent! I really don't know if you are lucky or just good at managing a company. Alas, I have the hardest life!"
The spearman smiled and said, "Next is the Minerals Department. What do you think, Wang Shen?"
Wang Shen smiled bitterly and said, "We are the only ones who are destined to spend money. We don't have any income at all! Several lead and zinc mines have produced ore one after another, but according to your words, all the grains are stored in the warehouse, and not a single gram has been sold!"
The gun master nodded and said, "Hold them all. No one can sell them without authorization. These are all treasures! Just do your best to mine them. Hehe, mine as much as you can. Buy me a warehouse of tens of thousands of square meters to store them! I dare to tell you clearly that the unit price of lead and zinc ore is about 150 yuan now, but by next year, it can only last for another year at most, until the year after next! If it doesn't increase by twenty times, you will be the one to claim my head!"
Zheng Dezhu also nodded and said: "The current situation should be like this, hehe, it's like putting money in the bank, but the interest is really a bit too much, I don't think it has much to do with No. 4 white powder."
Wen Dejiu frowned and said, "The price is so low now. I heard from Mr. Wang that nearly 500,000 tons have been stored, and the mine will be mined intermittently in the future. Isn't this detrimental to the company's business development?"
The gunner said, "Don't we have funds to develop other businesses? We have no shortage of funds. We must not touch this mining business, even if we have to sell everything we have. Haha, think about it, we should have at least 5 million tons of ore in a year. What does 3,100 tons mean?"
Wen Dejiu blurted out: "Fifteen billion!"
Wang Shen smiled and said, "It should be more than five million tons. The lead and zinc reserves alone are more than ten billion tons. Haha, there are also other metal mines and coal mines."
The gun chief said with a smile: "Everyone here, even if you don't have Tianyuan shares by then, the rewards alone will make everyone a millionaire!" Seeing that the eyes of these people were wide open, Yang Chengtong smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Chen, don't you want to be the Bill of China?" The gun chief said disdainfully: "Bill will take twenty years, I only need three years, haha . Well, now I want to make a proposal. If everyone doesn't mind, I want to redistribute Tianyuan shares. The original vice presidents all hold 5% of the shares, which will not change. I think if everyone here is interested in joining the Tianyuan chariot, I will turn your rewards into shares, and those below the department manager will get fixed bonuses. What do you think?"
The first person to cheer was Yang Chengtong. He had just been promoted to vice president and was no longer eligible for the bonus shares. After a while, the others whispered to each other and agreed. So the gun chief gave 1% of the shares to the six department managers, 0.5% of the shares to the deputy managers, and 3% of the shares to Yang Chengtong and Zheng Dezhuo each. In this way, the gun chief only had less than 70% of the shares left. The purpose of his doing so was to plan the next conspiracy: "Then, I will retain the position of chairman of the board. Tianyuan Group will officially separate the three major businesses and establish Tianyuan Mining, Tianyuan Coal, Tianyuan Real Estate, Tianyuan Hotel, and another one, Tianyuan Pharmaceutical! I just proposed this idea, and the specific implementation will be carried out by Tianyuan Group's CEO and Chief Executive Officer Mr. Zheng Dezhuo! Mining and coal will not be separated for the time being, and Wang Shen will continue to serve as general manager. Real estate and hotels will remain unchanged. Tianyuan Pharmaceutical will be temporarily held by Mr. Zheng Dezhuo. Haha, Mr. Wen Dejiu will serve as vice chairman of Tianyuan and oversee the finances of all companies in the group! Mr. Wen Dejiu will preside over the board of directors when I'm away, and I don't care about anything else!"
Zheng Dezhu shouted with red eyes: "Oppose, oppose! Strongly oppose!"
The spear chief roared, "Stop messing around. I have bigger things to do. You will be an executive officer in the future, but you still have such a childish temper! Everyone must unite and cooperate and make every effort to develop according to the strategic goals we set at the beginning. Okay, today's meeting ends here, everyone disperse!"
Zheng Dezhu still looked at the gun captain with hatred. After everyone left, he jumped up and cursed: "You inhumane person, do you want me to be your slave for the rest of my life? I've become your housekeeper, and I still have to work hard to help you make money!"
The spear chief chuckled and said, "Brother-in-law! You are my relative now. If you help me, who will help me?"
Zheng Dezhu almost fainted from anger. The gun captain said again: "To be honest, Dezhu, I really have something to go out for. You can help me take care of it first. If nothing else, just for the sake of Dalin and the children, how about this, you work for three years. If you are really unhappy after three years, you can go wherever you want! How about it?"
Zheng Dezhu laughed and said, "That's more like it. You've almost exploited me like a dried corpse. When have I ever had a vacation? I've been busy all day long. Now you've completely left it to me, hehe."
The gunner laughed and said, "I am delegating power to you. Except for the mineral resources, which are determined by me, you can do whatever you want with the rest. Also, you are not allowed to go public! I hate that kind of thing!" Zheng Dezhu scolded, "Others set their goal of going public when they start a business or company, but you are doing the opposite."
The gunner stood up and walked out, saying in a very arrogant tone: "I'm rich! I don't need to go to the stock market. My reputation is even more famous, so I don't need to make a name for myself!"
