Chapter 254: Deep City Power
Chapter 254: Deep City Power
"Don't do anything, go to bed early, and go to the mainland tomorrow." Yin Zhaotang hung up the phone, plugged the mobile phone back into the dock, turned over and continued to sleep.
Within half a month after drawing the transportation ticket and going to Shantou City to make the move.
Yin Zhaotang was not dead, and he had already made basic preparations. For example, he changed the shipping company and transported the goods from Shantou and Shenzhen separately.
There was also bribery of Shantou Customs to buy intelligence.
There are also cases where cruise ships are used to deliver goods, and fishing boats are used to deliver goods in batches.
It's not a very clever method, but it's easy to use. If the goods are really confiscated by customs, the losses will be within an acceptable range.
Dapao didn't get any news before the customs action, so the money was given away in vain.
Morning, seven o'clock.
Yin Zhaotang got up as usual, washed up, put on a suit, and came to the dining table. Zhou Huimin, wrapped in a chef's skirt, served a plate of scallion fried eggs to the table.
Rong Jiahui distributed the bowls and chopsticks, took out fresh milk from the refrigerator, and filled each cup about 70% full.
Yin Zhaotang picked up the fried egg and started eating breakfast, then asked in confusion, "Where's Maria?"
"I'm taking a break today and going shopping with my boyfriend." Zhou Huimin took off her skirt and sat down next to him.
"Let's ask Hua Pi to take Jiahui to school later." Yin Zhaotang said.
Zhou Huimin shook her head to refuse, hugged Rong Jiahui, and said lovingly: "I have time, why do I need my brother to send me off."
"Don't you have a radio interview at ten o'clock? Are you in time?" Yin Zhaotang asked doubtfully.
Zhou Huimin's first album has been on sale for a whole month and has sold 53,000 copies. It has been certified as a platinum record by the Hong Kong Island Recording Association.
Her popularity has surpassed that of Mei Yanfang, which fully demonstrates how important capital is to the development of the music industry. After all, the actual performance of "Thousands of Songs" was only 38,000, and the remaining 15,500 copies were bought with the help of several audio stores and out of pocket.
However, the hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars spent on buying records can be earned back in copyright royalties in just two or three months.
The copyright fees for platinum records and gold records are not at the same level.
There are so many commercial performances and visits that it is difficult to arrange them.
What's more, Zhou Huimin only agreed to arrange activities for half a month, and she had to stay at home for the remaining half a month.
"I'm doing a radio interview and I don't need to put on makeup. How late will it be?"
In her heart, singing career, apart from satisfying her vanity, is not as important as taking care of her family.
Yin Zhaotang already had a foot in the music industry, so he didn't care whether she worked or not. He said, "As long as you are happy, but I have to go on a business trip to the mainland this afternoon, so I may not be able to come back to stay."
"Okay. Call me before you come back so we can make soup early at home," said Zhou Huimin.
Yin Zhaotang took a car to the company on Shanghai Street, drank tea in the office, and waited until 9:30, the start time for mainland civil servants.
Then he crossed his arms and said, "Call Long Ke."
"it is good."
Dapao sat on the chair, took out his mobile phone and dialed Long Ziqiang's number immediately.
Long Ke was in a meeting. He answered the phone and adjourned the meeting. After everyone in the meeting room had cleared out, he smoked a cigarette and asked arrogantly, "What's the matter?"
"Longke, a batch of goods was seized in Shanshou. Is there any way you can help smooth things over?" Dapao was about to explain.
Long Ziqiang frowned and said unhappily, "A Pao, how can Shenzhen Customs pick up the goods for you in Shanshou? At most, they can act as a middleman and ask a friend. But whether they will give you face or not is still a question, understand!"
Da Pao said, "I understand, Long Ke, but the goods being checked are not BP machines, but a production line imported from the United States."
"Five hundred thousand dollars. My boss needs it to open a factory."
Long Ziqiang became interested and flicked the ash off his cigarette: "What does Yin Sheng's imported production line produce?"
"Pager!" Dapao replied.
Long Ziqiang's heart skipped a beat and he said in surprise, "Good fellow, the food you eat is not enough even if you go by water, and you plan to produce and sell it yourself."
Da Pao said, "Long Ke, the goods are worth 500,000 US dollars and are legally imported. Shantou can't just block them."
"I will accompany the boss to Shenzhen this afternoon. We will meet and chat in the evening. We will definitely come to Golden Bay Hotel!" Long Ziqiang hurriedly agreed: "Definitely, definitely."
After he hung up the phone, he made some judgment and decided to talk to Director Wu.
According to relevant regulations, when patriotic friends of the Special Administrative Region visit, the investment promotion department must send a deputy to greet them. The principal must accompany them for one day during the entire trip.
If the smuggled BP machines were seized in Shanshou, it would be hard to bring them to light. But an entire BP machine production line was seized directly through Shanshou, legally and in compliance with regulations.
Even the smart guy knew something was wrong, not to mention that Long Ke's brother-in-law was the general distributor in Shenzhen. The moment he hung up the phone, he felt a little nervous.
If it was just a matter of stealing business, it would be fine, but if it involved political disputes, it would be a big problem. There was no guarantee that someone would be jealous of him and want him to vacate his position.
But how could someone who is in charge of the political and legal affairs of Shenzhen City not have any background at all?
Not only that, there are a lot more!
It's a good time to chat with Yin Sheng in the evening. Whether it's a dragon or a tiger, they have to fight to see whose magical power is more powerful.
Shenzhen, Futian District, Golden Bay Hotel.
Wu Limin, Chen Jilin, Long Ziqiang, and Peng Yongqin were all present. To discuss important matters, you don’t need a lot of people, but everyone who comes must be useful.
Yin Zhaotang gathered people at the hotel entrance one by one and then they went into the box together.
Wu Limin wanted to do a favor, so when he was half drunk, he raised his glass and said, "Boss Yin, don't worry too much. The leader has already sent someone to Shantou to verify it."
"If the goods are really legal and compliant, I will definitely help get them back."
Yin Zhaotang quickly thanked him: "Director Wu, thank you for your trouble. If I have the chance, I will definitely thank you in person."
Wu Limin finished his drink and said with a smile: "The leader said that if Boss Yin can make more contributions to the development of Shenzhen, that would be the best way to express our gratitude."
Chen Jilin said frankly: "Mr. Yin, Shenzhen's policies are very good. Do you have any plans to set up an electronics factory in Futian?"
"The electronics industry can apply for special land use. They don't have to buy it, they can rent it for life, which is definitely cost-effective."
If I had brought my smuggling business to the table and asked for help last time, I would not be able to refuse it now.
But Yin Zhaotang is not someone who is easy to control. He asked Dapao to give Long Ke a heads-up in the morning so that the mainland would have time to investigate the cause and effect.
If I didn't let Director Wu and his colleagues know the price of the electronics factory, they would think I was here to beg for help!
Lending a hand and asking for help are two different things.
Although the goods seized in Shanshou are very valuable, the price in my heart must not be known to others.
He made a Tai Chi gesture with his left hand: "Director Chen, the company has land in the New Territories. It would be a pity to leave it unused."
Yin Zhaotang continued, "We will definitely build factories in the mainland. The New Territories is a small place with a population of about one million. It can accommodate several factories."
"We are short of mature workers. If we want to open a factory, we have to open it in Shenzhen! But the American company has not agreed to authorize the mainland, so we have to do it step by step."
This reason can indeed shut them up, and it also paints a rosy picture for the Merchants Group. Wu Limin is a professional who paints rosy pictures for others. This is the first time he has been stuffed in the mouth. He said honestly: "Okay, I'll wait for Yin Sheng's good news."
“I also hope that Yinsheng’s products will appear in the domestic market soon.”
"I'm borrowing Director Wu's good words."
The table of people drank until around nine o'clock.
Long Ziqiang and Wu Limin sent Yin Zhaotang to the guesthouse together. Wu Limin sent him downstairs, while Long Ziqiang personally sent him upstairs.
As he went upstairs, he pretended to be drunk and pulled Yin Zhaotang to his side, saying, "Mr. Yin, go to bed early tonight. We have to go to Shantou tomorrow morning."
He placed his left hand on Long Ke's shoulder and said in surprise, "Long Ke, is it done?"
Long Ziqiang glanced back at him, shook his head and replied: "Shan Shou refused to release the goods, and set conditions, asking you to pick it up in person. The senior leader will accompany you tomorrow to help support you and give you courage, so you just watch carefully!"
"I must help you get your face back!"
