Late at night, the Dongjiang Hotel where Qiao Yannian stayed received an uninvited guest.

As soon as he entered the door without slipping on his shoes, Ma Mingzhi started shouting, "Mayor Qiao, I just want to ask, do you care about Dongjiang Electronics?"

Qiao Yannian thought that Ma Mingzhi was still complaining about the bankruptcy and reorganization of Dongjiang Electronics, so he asked him to sit down and said with a smile: "Mr. Ma, sit down, don't be so angry. If you have opinions, you can raise them, but there is a principle, don't curse!"

Ma Mingzhi is senior, and Dongjiang Electronics was the former leading state-owned enterprise in Dongjiang City. Leading cadres who came out of the factory are now located in all major departments of the city and county.

So he usually doesn't get angry. When he gets angry, even the secretary dares to scold him in front of him, and others can't do anything to him.

If you compete, you won't be guilty. People who are about to retire have little power, and there is no conflict of interest. If you don't compete, you will feel uncomfortable if you spit in your face. You can only stay away from them and hide if you can.

However, Qiao Yannian cannot hide where others can. He is in charge of the economy. The restructuring of Dongjiang Electronics is a top priority in the city and requires Ma Mingzhi's active cooperation.

Regardless of this factor, he actually admires Ma Mingzhi for his hard work, no selfishness, and noble personality for so many years. Although the electronics factory fell into this situation, it was an inevitable result of market development and had nothing to do with him.

"Is it okay if you don't scold me? As leaders, you are used to sitting in the office, having meetings, listening to reports, and being aloof. Why can't you personally go deep into the masses and listen to the real voices of the people? Let's see what everyone thinks of you?"

Qiao Yannian sensed that something was wrong this time. He sat upright, his expression became serious, and said: "Mr. Ma, I am not a person who cannot listen to opinions. There are only two of us tonight, so let's talk about it. No matter what dissatisfaction there is below.

, please tell me frankly, correct it if you have any, and encourage me if you don’t. My job is to satisfy the people."

"Let me tell you straight, there are thousands of merchants in Century City, tens of thousands of related employees, and a monthly turnover of millions, but where does the money go? How much tax has the government confiscated? How much money have the merchants not made? Ordinary people

I didn’t get much benefit, and it was all robbed by that bastard Li Jingdong. Okay, you don’t care if you rob others, and I don’t care either, but now it’s me…”

When Qiao Yanting heard Li Jingdong's name, his heart skipped a beat, but his appearance did not change at all. He said, "Mr. Ma, don't worry. I know Li Jingdong. No matter how daring he is, he won't dare to go to Dongjiang Electronics to cause trouble, right?"

"I'll lend him some courage!"

Ma Mingzhi's eyes widened with anger, he spat, and said: "But he bullied my client..."

"What's going on?" Qiao Yanting asked in surprise.

"Hasn't it been a long time since the factory had rice? The workers are screaming for food and asking for subsidies from the city. Mayor Qiao, you are pushing back and forth, delaying day by day..."

Qiao Yanting coughed dryly and said: "The city's finances are indeed in difficulty... Mr. Ma, let's get down to business, who is the customer?"

"He is a young and promising entrepreneur, his surname is Lin, and his name is Lin Baiyao. The market is so sluggish, so he invested 300,000 yuan and hired an electronics factory to produce golden CDs. They were genuine and he went to Yuezhou to buy them.

Copyright. Has Mayor Qiao heard about the recently popular duo of Twelve Beauties?"

Qiao Yanting smiled and said: "Of course I have to know about such a big thing. The comrade who listened to the propaganda yesterday said that the sales of the Evening News have doubled this week, and the ratings of the second series have also skyrocketed... Hey, by the way, tonight

Is there still a live broadcast in Century City?"

"Yes, the Twelve Beauties are the girl group owned by Mr. Lin, and she is also the heroine of the music video of the golden song CD. Her company worked hard to produce content, promote and warm up, and finally started selling. It is not natural that the sales are good.

?But Li Jingdong was so jealous that he sent dozens of thugs at night, armed with knives and sticks, to go to Century City and smash up other people's shops..."

Qiao Yanting's face turned grim instantly and said, "Is there such a thing?"

"Would I lie?"

Ma Mingzhi raised his voice and said: "Fortunately, Mr. Lin's employees were somewhat bloody and stopped him on the spot. The two sides started fighting and scared off Li Jingdong's people. But who is Li Jingdong? How could he suffer a loss? I heard that

He has already announced that starting from tomorrow, all CD wholesalers and retailers in Dongjiang City will not be allowed to enter Lin Corporation’s goods..."

Qiao Yanting believed that Ma Mingzhi would not lie, because he could ask about this kind of thing with a few phone calls, and this was indeed Li Jingdong's usual style of doing things.

"Mayor Qiao, Mr. Lin just found me. He's so popular... He said that Dongjiang City is being blocked by Li Jingdong. It's unreasonable. He plans to go to Yuezhou tomorrow to find someone to file a complaint. If he doesn't do it, he will die and the net will be broken. He will never give up...

"

"Hmm? He is from Yuezhou? Does he have a background?"

"I don't know the specific background. When doing business, you only need to follow the contract and get the money. It's not convenient for me to ask about anything else. But I guess he has some background. At his age, ordinary people can't just do it casually.

He spends hundreds of thousands to do business, and his words and deeds reveal a lot of background, so he should have a lot of background..."

Qiao Yanting gently bent his index finger and tapped the table with his knuckle, which was a small movement he usually used when thinking.

If you have the background, if you go back to Yuezhou to cause trouble, and Li Jingdong gets the news, will you alert him?

The investigation team has been conducting a secret investigation for so long and is about to close the net. If the news leaks out, Li Jingdong will be alert...

He is born in the Year of the Rabbit, has cash in his hand, and has too many ways to escape, which will cause great trouble for arrest.

Seeing that Qiao Yanting still didn't speak, Ma Mingzhi became a little anxious and said: "Mayor Qiao, please give me the right words, do you care or not? If you really don't care, I will go back and return Mr. Lin's order, and this business will not be able to continue anyway.

, we cannot let our partners lose money because of the harsh environment in Dongjiang. As for the employees in the factory, they will make trouble if they like, and I can't stop them! Without paying wages for a year, it is difficult to accept orders, and business cannot be done.

How can we make people behave well and not make trouble?"

Qiao Yannian refilled Ma Mingzhi's tea and said, "Mr. Ma, don't be impulsive. I didn't say you didn't care, didn't I? The city has already discussed the restructuring plan of Dongjiang Electronics at a meeting. I estimate it will be passed soon, with a maximum of two

We will enter the formal implementation stage in the next month. You are the ballast stone of this restructuring. Without you, we cannot steer the rudder and the ship will capsize. By then, we will be in chaos, which will be bad for the city and not good for Dongjiang Electronics.

The future is even worse, isn’t it?”

Ma Mingzhi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, suppressed his anger, and said: "Then what do you think we should do? The current situation is not hurting Mr. Lin alone, but thousands of people like Mr. Lin who want to come.

Entrepreneurs who invest and do business in Dongjiang. Mayor Qiao, I am an old man, and I am begging you for nothing else but the people. If you continue like this, the development of Dongjiang City will be at the bottom of the entire Suhuai Province!"

"Let's do this. Regarding Li Jingdong's matter, you give me a day."

Ma Mingzhi's last words greatly touched Qiao Yanting. He made up his mind in his heart and said: "As for Mr. Lin, please go back and help me persuade him not to go back to Yuezhou, let alone find him."

Li Jingdong... We will see the outcome tomorrow night at the latest, and I will definitely give you and Mr. Lin a satisfactory answer!"

…

After leaving Dongjiang Hotel, Ma Mingzhi stood at the door, turned to look at the two-story building inside, and said to himself:

It's really weird. I followed what Mr. Lin said and really forced Mayor Qiao to make a promise. What will happen tomorrow? Is it possible that Li Jingdong can be arrested?

He shook his head and laughed, amused by his own childish thoughts.

Not to mention that Qiao Yanting was just the executive deputy and couldn't touch Li Jingdong at all. Even if he had the ability, he couldn't do it in one day.

Well, I finally lived up to Mr. Lin’s trust. Maybe someone will suppress Li Jingdong’s arrogance tomorrow and stop him from being so arrogant!

At least the first batch of 50,000 optical discs must be shipped...

After seeing Ma Mingzhi off, Qiao Yanting got up and walked to the window. He didn't like to open the curtains, but he liked to observe the outside world through the corner of the curtains.

Sometimes, when you look up from a young age, you will see a different scene.

For example, he now saw Ma Mingzhi's back in the dark.

The man who is nearly sixty years old, his thin body is starting to stoop, and his steps have become staggering, but this person who has worried about his whole life is still worrying about the business environment of Dongjiang City, the restructuring of Dongjiang Electronics Factory, and small orders worth hundreds of thousands.

And running.

In fact, if he really wants to let go, with his qualifications, no one can say anything, and he can just play with his grandson and enjoy his old age in peace.

But he is still persisting and has not given up yet,

What does he want?

What he wants is that Dongjiang City's economy is getting better and better, and the people's lives are getting better and better.

This is a true communist!

Qiao Yanting could feel that Ma Mingzhi was a little depressed when he left.

It's understandable, because if it were him, he would also regard dealing with Li Jingdong tomorrow as a prevarication.

Qiao Yanting watched Ma Mingzhi disappear, walked to his desk, and dialed the phone: "Hey, team leader, I suggest that the arrest of Li Jingdong should be advanced to tomorrow... I know that the plan was originally scheduled for two days

The queen of heaven started to arrest, but now something new has appeared, I'm afraid it will alarm him... Yes, that's the situation. Each team has completed all evidence collection. If they arrest tomorrow, or arrest again in two days, it will have little impact on the result...

...Tomorrow, um, if there is a chance, if the schedule remains unchanged, Li Jingdong will attend the opening ceremony of his best brother at the city center hotel at ten o'clock tomorrow morning..."

…

The next morning, Lin Baiyao met Chu Gang, Chen Haoran and others. Chu Gang said: "Li Jingdong made a promise last night that no one is allowed to enter our goods. I'm afraid something will happen. Should I close the Century City store first?"

Everyone evacuates?"

"No, we must not give in now. The store will be open as usual. No one dares to buy goods, so we will find some support outside. Each person will be given twenty yuan as hard work to go in and out of the store to increase the popularity."

Chen Haoran also advised: "Mr. Lin, we are doing serious business and there is no need to fight with local snakes. When the superiors come to an agreement, we will pay the handling fee. We just want stability in doing business..."

Lin Baiyao said with a smile: "I won't fight with people who are going to die. Li Jingdong doesn't have to worry about it. I let you open a store for others to see..."

He didn't reveal the mystery of this sentence, so who could he tell it to?

It was for people like Editor Li, Director Huang, Vice President Yan, Deputy Director Niu, Factory Director Ma, and even Qiao Yanting.

They thought that Lin Baiyao had a backing and confidence, and if he dared to challenge Li Jingdong, he had to stand firm and not give in.

It doesn't matter if you close the store, it means you don't have enough confidence, which will arouse people's suspicion.

Once suspicion arises, with the power of these people in Dongjiang, no matter how deep Lin Baiyao's secrets are hidden, they will be found so naked that not even a hair can be saved.

Chen Haoran held his head and sighed helplessly.

Since last night, I have heard Lin Baiyao say that Li Jingdong is going to die or be destroyed, but apart from meeting Ma Mingzhi, I haven't seen him make any other arrangements.

Could it be that chanting a curse can curse Li Jingdong to death?

He felt that Lin Baiyao was a bit unreliable this time. Even if Ma Mingzhi contacted Mayor Qiao and Mayor Qiao agreed to come forward to negotiate an agreement, Li Jingdong would still have to step down.

Now that it's clear that we're going to confront each other, what's the point of finding someone?
