Chapter 285 Joining the 3 Youth Group
Chapter 285 Joining the Three Youth League
Seven lives.
Seven political school backbones and elites handpicked by him.
Now they're all in one pot.
Publicly shooting students!
Lu Qiaoshan was stepping on his head to take credit from his father.
He, Jiang Jianfeng, became someone else's pawn.
But my father was very appreciative and satisfied with this matter.
Lu Qiaoshan did things that many people, including himself, Mao Renfeng, Zheng Jieming, and even Dai Li wanted to do but did not dare to do.
Jianfeng's eyes were filled with anger, but he was helpless.
And Li Ya...
He put his hands behind his back and paced in the garden of the official residence.
Come to think of it, Li Ya seemed to have lost a lot of his skills when he came back from Yancheng.
Is he a suspect?
Jianfeng began to feel suspicious, which was rare.
Just as he was thinking about it, attendant Zhang Jing came over with a young man wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses.
"Comrade Jianfeng."
The young man bowed.
The other party called him "comrade", and Jianfeng immediately felt a liking for him. Seeing that he looked familiar, he couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
"I am Hong Zhiyou, secretary of Stationmaster Wu of Jinhai Station. I met you at the station when my wife visited Jinhai last time." The young man answered respectfully.
"Yes, I remember now!
"You are the Jinhaitong." Jianfeng smiled happily.
Of course he would not forget this. If Wu Jingzhong, the father-in-law and son-in-law had not dragged Kang Ze out to take the blame, his wife would have had a hard time getting through that hurdle.
“Don’t dare, don’t dare.
"I am so wise and capable, and I owe it to the Chairman and Comrade Jianfeng to protect me. I only wish to be loyal to the leader and never regret it even if I die."
Hong Zhiyou was deeply terrified and bowed again quickly.
"You have made great contributions to the arms, American aid, and Ke Chengwu.
“Cousin Yu Xuan often praises you in front of me.
"The Party and the country will not mistreat any of its meritorious officials. Your Jinhaitong is a great success."
Jianfeng patted his shoulder and praised him.
"I will strive to make new contributions and live up to Comrade Jianfeng's expectations." Hong Zhiyou saluted.
"Attendant Zhang, what are you doing..." Jianfeng looked at Zhang Jing with a smile.
"The Chairman and his wife have summoned me." Zhang Jing answered truthfully.
Have a summons?
Didn’t you say you were taking a rest?
Instead of seeing his own son, he met this Secretary Hong?
Jianfeng felt a little depressed, knowing that something big must be going on. He looked at Hong Zhiyou and said gently:
“Then you go and answer the call first.
"Come over to my place later. I have something to ask you."
"Yes!" Hong Zhi nodded.
"Secretary Hong, Jianfeng is very optimistic about you. You have a bright future. Please take care of me in the future." Zhang Jing whispered as they walked.
"Thanks to your brother's arrangement, the two ladies were safe last time in Jinhai, and I was able to save my job and my head. I left in a hurry and didn't have time to thank you.
"Please Secretary Hong, please finish your work and move over later so that I can show my hospitality as a host."
Zhang Jing continued.
“I’m afraid not this time.
"After meeting the chairman and his wife, I have to return to Jinhai immediately.
"Next time I come to Jingling, I will definitely attend my brother's banquet." Hong Zhiyou whispered with a smile.
"Okay, definitely next time." Zhang Jing nodded.
Arrived upstairs.
After passing through layers of security checks, he finally met the chairman.
……
The meeting was over in less than two minutes.
The chairman speaks very little.
Let me get straight to the point: three things.
1: The actual combat readiness of Chen Changjie and the 94th Army of the Security Command. There is no mention of corruption or reselling of supplies within the army.
2. Get more money and American aid to support Du Yuming’s troops in Northeast China.
Three: Let him continue to maintain a good relationship with Kirk to ensure that military aid to the Jinhai and Huludao areas is not interrupted.
After meeting the chairman, Zhang Jing later led Hong Zhiyou to the back to meet his wife.
"Secretary Hong, please sit down."
The lady was still graceful and elegant, and she was accompanied by another slightly plump lady.
Although I haven't seen it.
But from the lady's respectful attitude towards her and the slightly similar appearance, Hong Zhiyou knew that this person was Mrs. Kong, the eldest sister of the Song family.
"Hello, ladies."
Hong Zhiyou bowed and saluted.
“Yu Xuan and Zi Liang often mention you.
“He is indeed a talented person.
"You have done a favor to our Song family regarding the Jinhai matter, so you are not an outsider. Sit down."
Mrs. Kong ordered.
Upon hearing this person's tone, Hong Zhiyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If this guy comes to hold me accountable, this trip will be in vain.
Now it seems solvable.
“I know everything about Jin Hai.
“My son loves to play and is easily bewitched, but he’s also easy to coax.
"Just coax her and send her back."
The lady said nothing, but Mrs. Kong expressed her opinion with a smile.
"I don't know what the lady likes. I'm afraid I'll misunderstand her and spoil her fun."
Hong Zhiyou asked hurriedly, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.
That’s right, the one who fought with him in Jinhai was the little devil of the Republic of China, Miss Kong Lingwei, who was extremely doted on by Mrs. Chiang.
What does "哄哄" mean?
This is obviously asking him to bleed, it's like sending Buddha to the west.
God knows how big Mrs. Kong's appetite is. I can't just give away the Axe card that I worked so hard to make to her.
"sister.
“Secretary Hong is an honest man.
"Commander Kirk recommended him to the chairman yesterday to set up a military aid management committee in Jinhai, with Wu Jingzhong as the director and Secretary Hong as the contact person.
"Lingwei has had enough fun, let her calm down and come back early.
"Don't make it too difficult for Secretary Hong."
Mrs. Jiang personally cut a piece of cake and handed it to Hong Zhiyou while speaking.
"Thank you, ma'am." Hong Zhiyou was very grateful.
"By the way, Secretary Hong is also a talented man. The new movie 'Plum Blossom' starring Hu Die was written by him. Several of Jingling's most popular piano pieces were also written by him." She added.
"Oh.
"Are you still a great talent?"
When Mrs. Kong heard this, she was immediately overjoyed and looked Hong Zhiyou up and down.
"You and Kirk are close?" she asked.
"I can't say it's good, but I'm honored by the general's favor, so I have the advantage of doing things and meeting him." Hong Zhiyou replied.
"Can you speak foreign languages?" she asked again.
"Yes." Hong Zhi nodded.
“Well, he’s a talented and romantic man, he’s close to the American military, and his wine business is doing well.
"I think he is more reliable than Hu Zongnan."
Mrs. Jiang laughed aside.
The hairs on Hong Zhiyou's back stood up.
“Secretary Hong, I’ll call them.
“Just coax her as you like.
"We are all young people, so we can be considered as getting to know each other through fighting. Make friends with her." Mrs. Kong said with relief.
Just coax him.
Call!
At least there is a bottom line.
"Yes.
"Thank you, madams." Hong Zhiyou hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Not urgent.
“Eat cake.
"Are there any new songs?" Mrs. Kong asked with a friendly smile.
"To be honest, I've been very busy lately and have no mood to compose music." Hong Zhiyou said with a slightly embarrassed smile.
"It doesn't matter.
“Then let’s do it when we have time.
"My man is indeed difficult to deal with. Ziliang happens to be going to Jinhai for work, so I'll let him know. You two are familiar with each other, so it should be easier to deal with him around."
Mrs. Kong said.
"With Mr. Ziliang here, there is nothing to worry about." Hong Zhiyou said happily.
……
Stayed for half an hour.
After eating a piece of cake and a cup of coffee, Hong Zhiyou walked out sweating profusely.
At first, when the eldest sister of the Song family heard of his title and talent, she was somewhat interested.
But fortunately he had Ruirui and the child.
Of course, these are all trivial matters. Divorce is as easy as drinking water these days, not to mention that he is not even married yet.
The key is that he comes from the countryside.
When people heard this, they immediately became unhappy.
Damn, what a wealthy family, so tacky and realistic.
No wonder Hu Zongnan wanted to "slip away" with Miss Kong Er and escape disaster.
"Secretary Hong.
"Madam doesn't like to see outsiders. There are very few people like you who stay for half an hour."
Zhang Jing escorted him out and led him to the No. 2 official residence.
"You're welcome." Hong Zhiyou said perfunctorily.
You shouldn't speak dialects like this casually, as it can easily cause trouble.
Dealing with these people is indeed very stressful.
No wonder Mao Renfeng and Zheng Jieming envied Old Wu for being in charge of Jinhai, making all the money without any trouble, and they were all so anxious that they could only stare blankly.
In this area, even if you really work hard, you may not get anything good in return.
Arrived at Residence No. 2.
Jianfeng met him in the study.
When Hong Zhiyou came in, he was looking at a map. Compared to the last time in Jinhai, he was obviously much thinner.
"Kirk is very optimistic about you. The situation in the Northeast is tense, so you have to pay attention to the military aid.
"Sometimes our urging may not be as effective as your urging."
He turned his head and stared at Hong Zhiyoudao with sharp eyes.
"I understand." Hong Zhi nodded.
"Yu Xuan wants to recommend you to join the board of directors of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce. What do you think?" Jianfeng asked again.
"That's what I wanted." Hong Zhi said.
The Jiangsu and Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce is the Chiang family’s private domain, and all the bureaucratic capitalist compradors are this bunch of people.
Why can’t private enterprises develop?
There are these people.
There is no way to be self-reliant, the business must be controlled by these people.
“I’ve read your file. You were a member of the Sino-US special training class, with the rank of major.
"Do you want to join the Three Youth League?"
Jianfeng asked.
"I am willing." Hong Zhiyou answered without hesitation.
"very good.
"I'll help you with the program, and I'll talk to Station Master Wu later.
“The Party, the country and I need talents like you.
"sit."
Jianfeng was also very happy.
The party is now seriously divided internally and the external war situation is extremely unfavorable. My father's position is already shaky, so it is even more difficult to say whether I can get to the top.
Replenishing fresh blood and elite backbones is an urgent matter.
Hong Zhiyou can be considered one of the more outstanding young talents in recent years.
The key is that this person has a good relationship with Kirk.
At this time, if you want to fight for power and profit, you can't avoid the Americans. Having Hong Zhiyou join is like adding wings to a tiger.
Hong Zhiyou also knew it very well.
Chiang has only been in mainland China for a few years.
But once we arrive in Wandao, Jianfeng will have the final say on the future sooner or later.
Hong Zhiyou will definitely not go there.
But wouldn't it be stupid to leave a thigh alone and not hug it?
If anything happens in the future, with this identity, it will be easier to deal with and talk to "one of our own".
"What do you think of Li Ya?"
After the tea was served, Jianfeng asked.
“I don’t know Captain Li very well.
"But one thing is clear to me: Li Ya is meticulous in his work and is extremely loyal to the party and the country."
Hong Zhi had a very capable answer.
"I heard that he doesn't have a very good relationship with you." Jianfeng said with a smile.
“He had a bad relationship with everybody.
"But work is work, and I am just speaking the truth."
Hong Zhi has the Tao.
"Okay, I understand." Jianfeng's expression relaxed a lot and he stood up and said.
Jianfeng learned more about the situation in Jinhai, including the construction of the Three Youth League branch, corruption among the garrison troops and so on.
After staying for more than half an hour, Hong Zhiyoucai bowed and said goodbye and left the official residence.
He was not deliberately speaking well of Li Ya.
First of all, Lu Qiaoshan has figured out the chairman’s thoughts this time and is sure to take off.
If Li Ya was stabbed again at this time, he might be crippled.
In this way, the balance within the station will be broken.
You have to know that all the people killed by Lu Qiaoshan were Li Ya's people. These two people have finally become enemies again. The good show is about to begin, so there is no need to miss it.
Furthermore, Jianfeng has always trusted his subordinates and is very protective of Li Ya.
Saying bad things about Li Ya may not please him.
Because that would be questioning Jianfeng's ability, vision, and even strategy.
You should know that it was Jianfeng's instruction to send the core members of the political school to the parade.
Isn't it just a slap in the face of Jianfeng to insult Li Ya?
It’s the leader’s fault.
No matter how wrong it is, we must raise our hands and applaud it.
The subordinates’ merit.
No matter how perfect something is, there are always some flaws.
It's nonsensical, but very realistic.
……
Return to Jinhai.
Hong Zhiyou met Wu Jingzhong as soon as possible.
When Wu Jingzhong heard that he had gotten the position of director of the Military Aid Management Committee for free, he was overjoyed.
Especially when Hong Zhiyou joined the Three Youth League, he was overjoyed.
With Jianfeng as his backer, he will undoubtedly have more confidence when competing with Mao Renfeng and Zheng Jieming in the future.
And joining the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Business Council would be even more amazing.
It's equivalent to becoming the chairman.
Anyone who wants to covet the fat piece of meat in Jinhai must think carefully.
Triple insurance.
"Okay, okay, your trip to Jingling was not in vain.
"When are you going to meet that little devil?"
Wu Jingzhong asked.
"Not urgent.
“Let’s wait until Long Er buys the liquor license.
“Besides, the Filson incident still needs to ferment. It seems that the North American Senate will hold a meeting in a few days.
“Wait a few more days.
"It's a good opportunity for me to catch up on some sleep."
Hong Zhiyou smiled.
To say this crisis wasn't stressful would be a lie; he hadn't slept in days.
After all, if the Kong family asks for too much and he can't accept it, he can only admit defeat.
This world is so cruel.
In the eyes of those big shots, someone of his size is no different from an ant.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Kirk had not been bribed.
These people regard Americans as gods.
Mrs. Kong's "coaxing" might force him to hand over everything he had, even Wu Jingzhong's Hexi basement.
Not giving?
He's acting crazy, I really dare to shoot you.
Of course, when the time comes to fight to the death, Hong Zhiyou will not sit idly by. He will at least let Zhou Yan, Sun Cheng and others try to fire a few shots.
The worst that can happen is that I give up this bright future and go into exile abroad.
……
Two days later, at 8:17 pm.
French Club.
Powell signed his name quickly and handed the contract to Lin Sufang:
"Ms. Lin, the Cherry brand will be yours from now on."
As he spoke, he tapped his fingers on the beautifully packaged high-end wine bottle on the table.
"Thank you, Mr. Powell." Lin Sufang replied in fluent English.
"I wonder what Mr. Powell thinks of my drink compared to Hong Zhi's Axe brand?" she asked again.
“It’s perfect.
"I wish you success."
Powell shook her hand and left.
"Sir, are you really optimistic about Miss Lin?" Jack followed her out and asked with a frown.
“NO.
“I am optimistic about the money.
“Two hundred thousand dollars, don’t miss it.
“In my opinion, she can’t outsell Hong, the drinks are indeed good, but her costs are too high.
"Since they are all Hennessy's brands, those rich people are not fools. Why would they buy a drink that tastes similar but costs 20% more?" Powell said as he walked.
"She can lower the price," Jack said.
“Then she’ll die faster.
“Hong’s winery business is already mature, with enough cash flowing back to generate profits.
“Ms. Lin, I don’t know if she has ever worked in a winery. You know, running a winery requires a lot of costs from publicity, packaging, and marketing.
"Before she could open up sales channels and make profits, she rashly started a price war. Once the capital chain could not keep up, she would soon collapse.
"She will lose everything then."
Powell said.
"Then she is doomed," said Jack.
"Not really. Find a larger shareholder, or join forces with Hong and open another brand." Powell thought for a while and said.
"That seems unlikely. She's here just to challenge Hong," Jack said.
"Then she will have only one way to go... death.
“Remember, buying and selling, especially big business, is not something that everyone can do.
“It takes strength, timing, and luck.
“Obviously, this Miss Lin picked the wrong opponent, and her timing and luck were not good.
“I know Hong.
“She couldn’t fight it.
"You have to open your eyes."
Powell pointed at him and got into the car.
"Shut up!"
Jack breathed a sigh of relief.
He was in the "honeymoon period" with Hong Zhi and was making a lot of money selling axe cards.
But these days Lin Sufang has been paying to poach him.
The price offered was three times that of Hong.
Fortunately, I didn't fall in love with it. I didn't go astray.
"Director Lu, this is the contract, do you have any questions?
"According to the conversion on the sign, your investment of $80,000 is converted into 10% of the shares."
Without the foreigner, Lin Sufang took out the contract and said.
"Why is it only 10%?" Lu Qiaoshan frowned.
“One percent is already excessive.
“Subsequent expansion of the production line, maintaining winery operations, and maintaining relations with the Americans will all require huge investments.
"Do you think 80,000 US dollars is a lot?
“Also, you have to personally handle the marketing for the municipal government, the garrison, and the security headquarters.
“It also includes security work and so on.
"Since this is a collaboration, you as a shareholder have to do something, right?"
Lin Sufang sneered.
"So many clauses?" Lu Qiaoshan frowned as he flipped through the contract.
“You can choose not to do it.
“Let me make it clear first, the person who made the deal was the one who made the decision, and she was also the one who made the large investment later on.
"If you don't want to do it, it's not too late to return it now.
"But you have to ask that person for the investment money," said Lin Sufang.
"you!
"Why didn't you make it clear earlier!"
Lu Qiaoshan already felt a little regretful.
In the past, he had made a fortune with Hong Zhiyou. All he had to do was invest money and wait for dividends.
So I'm used to this way of buying and selling.
Who would have known that there were so many rules and regulations for Lin Sufang?
Now, once you throw the money in, you can’t get it back.
Let him go find that person to get the money.
Who knows, someone might go crazy and shoot him, and he will go to the ghost to seek justice.
"okay.
"Just be content. If someone takes you out to play, it's a blessing for you."
Long Er raised his chin and smiled sarcastically.
Lu Qiaoshan had no way to refute. He glanced at Lin Sufang and urged:
"Isn't General Filson coming to sign?
"It's already past midnight, where are the people?"
"I'll go and urge them." Lin Sufang stood up and walked to the phone with her hips twisted.
Quickly, she dialed the number.
After a few simple words, she hung up the phone and walked back with a frown on her face.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qiaoshan asked.
"General Filson took a boat to Qingdao an hour ago," said Lin Sufang.
“Nothing’s going to happen, right?
"In recent days, newspapers have been criticizing the U.S. military, especially Director Lu's shooting of students. Now domestic and international public opinion is very unfavorable to the National Government and the U.S. military.
“There were protest marches in Jinan, Beijing, Changchun, and everywhere else.
“It is said that even some pro-Red media in North America, Britain and other countries are hyping this up.”
Long Erdao.
“Isn’t it just killing a few students?
"Go ahead and make a fuss, it's not going to cause any trouble.
"Filson has connections in North America and is Kirk's trusted subordinate.
"He's still the commander after all. It's not enough to change the commander just because of such a small matter."
Lu Qiaoshan raised the corner of his mouth and said disdainfully.
Soon after he finished speaking, the phone rang.
Lin Sufang stood up and answered it.
As soon as she answered the call, this usually calm and arrogant woman screamed:
“Oh no.
"It's not good."
"Ms. Lin, what happened?" Lu Qiaoshan stood up in shock.
"Just now Anderson called and said that General Filson was on his way to Qingdao when the ship encountered a storm and the general fell into the sea.
"The Marines are organizing a salvage operation, I'm afraid it's going to be very dangerous!"
