Chapter 808 Bridgehead

In the box, four men were playing mahjong.

"Boss Yang's business is getting bigger and bigger. It has a financial company, an auction house, a food factory, and a garbage recycling company... I think the Xu family, Chen Yifeng, Shi Danai, and Feng Yun will all have to step aside."

"That's right. It's said that like father, like son. Yang Dan inherited all his talent in business from you."

"I think next time that person comes to Xinlu for a meeting, Mr. Yang will definitely be at the front."

The three middle-aged men at the card table said flattering words, which made Yang Dingtian's face full of smiles.

He waved his hand and said, "I don't plan to stay in Jianghuai Province for long. The ultimate goal of domestic businessmen is to develop in Huajing. As long as you have a foothold in Huajing, you will be the most stable."

"Mr. Yang is indeed far-sighted. It is said that being in business is not as good as being in politics. If politics and business can be combined, then the policy coordination for corporate development will be easy..."

"Yes, now many bosses want to be representatives, such as Shi Danai..."

After Yang Dingtian finished speaking, the two men nodded in agreement.

“Last time I heard Mr. Yang say that he wanted to expand the scale of garbage recycling. The construction of the second plant is right near the Wulin Bay Bridge. It’s been so long, I don’t know if your factory…” The fat man sitting opposite Yang Dingtian played a nine-tube.

"The construction of the second factory is going smoothly. Since the equipment is all from abroad, they have to be shipped here for installation. It does take a long time, but there is nothing we can do about it. But it won't be long before it can be put into operation." Yang Dingtian gave his answer without any hesitation.

"Okay, okay, I feel relieved with what Mr. Yang said. I still plan to cooperate with you!" The fat man smiled with satisfaction.

But he thought about it and asked again: "This company is a collaboration between Mr. Yang and others, so what does the other side think?"

"What ideas do you have? We are the ones who purchased all the equipment. How can the factory operate without the equipment?"

"That's right..." The fat man hesitated and finally didn't say what was in his mind.

The Yang family owns the majority of the garbage recycling business. Now they say they are so important, but no one would believe it!

"Actually, I don't think much of the garbage recycling business, and I have always let Qingqing take care of it. Compared with my other businesses, the profits brought by this industry are simply a drop in the bucket. Even though I don't own a large share in the company, I have absolute say..." Seeing the fat man's little thoughts, Yang Dingtian explained slowly.

He was right. Currently, the income from online games and other companies was very high and had completely exceeded his income from his legitimate main business.

It can be said that his annual income from online games alone exceeds his total income from running the food factory for several years.

Yang Dingtian is a top student of Tsinghua University after all, and he knows that this kind of illegal business cannot continue. Many bosses will be involved in some illegal things when accumulating capital in the early stage, but in the later stage they will choose to clean up and become a completely law-abiding and legitimate businessman.

The garbage recycling business really excites Yang Dingtian, so he plans to develop it well and gradually take control of it.

Let’s go back a few months.

"Qingqing, how is the discussion in Ningbo going?" As soon as Yang Qing entered the house, her father called her to the study.

"That Chenxu and his dad are just passing the buck, saying they have to discuss it with Chenxi first before making any decision." Yang Qing shrugged and sat on the sofa.

"That won't do. I've already chosen the address for the new factory and purchased the equipment. How can I delay? You know, equipment must be ordered a long time in advance. You have to urge that guy named Chen. The new factory can bring us higher profits. I don't believe he won't be tempted. Playing the buck now is nothing more than trying to bargain. You can make some concessions when necessary..." Yang Dingtian frowned and took a sip of tea.

"Well, I understand that, but what if he sees that we are eager to ask for a high price? After all, that's what he did in the beginning."

"It doesn't matter. One of the purposes of building a new factory is to cooperate with others, that is, to double the garbage output and supply it to others. This is related to other things, not a question of money..." Yang Dingtian explained.

If he wants to curry favor with someone now, it cannot be solved by simply giving money to that person.

The new president has started a major anti-corruption campaign, and some things have to be delivered through other means.

Instead of wasting time on that little bit of money, it’s better to just give it away.

After all, he doesn't lack those things now. What he lacks is social status and a strong umbrella of protection.

"Okay, I understand, Dad." Yang Qing nodded thoughtfully.

"Xiao Dan has been naughty again recently and was beaten up and hospitalized. What happened?"

"He was beaten in Huajing. Maybe he offended someone he shouldn't have offended." Yang Qing shook her head when she heard that.

She has been very busy recently. Huajing is not the Yang family's territory, and some things cannot be dealt with just by wanting to.

"I asked him to date Xu Yun. Do you think it was Xu Yun who did it? This is too disrespectful to me, Yang Dingtian..."

"That shouldn't happen. You know Xiaodan's temper..." Yang Qing shook her head again.

In fact, she also had a suspect, and that was naturally Chen Xi.

However, she currently has a new factory project to discuss with the other party, and she does not want to destroy the cooperative relationship because of this matter without evidence.

So, she didn't tell her father about her guess.

“Well, Xiaodan is younger than you, and he is usually spoiled by his grandparents. But now he has become a little more mature. Give him some time to grow up…” Yang Dingtian felt helpless when he thought of his son.

If the old Yang Qing heard these words, she would definitely feel sad.

In this family, she did everything perfectly, but she still could not get the favor of the elders.

Even though Yang Dan was naughty and willful, she was still pampered and loved, just because she was a girl.

But Yang Qing is different now.

She clearly remembered that some of her father's shady businesses had almost fallen into her hands. On the contrary, Yang Dan had always been isolated from these shadows.

And now, all the transactions she handles are clean and legitimate.

With Yang Dan's limited ability, how could he run those businesses successfully?

She understood the trick without having to think about it.

Thinking of this, Yang Qing's eyes couldn't help but darken.

As smart as she was, she naturally understood that her father was trying to protect her in various ways. But this sudden change left her puzzled.

Why did my father's attitude take a 180-degree turn?
Two weeks later, seeing that Chen Xu had not responded to her message, Yang Qing called Chen Xi.

"Oh, the new factory. I heard about it from Chenxu. It's a good idea indeed..."

Hearing the other party say this, Yang Qing was very happy and asked: "Do you agree?"

"I mean, this is a good idea, but the location of this factory doesn't seem right. The second factory is still located in Zhijiang, and it's so close to Ningbo City, so it's better to expand it on the original site of the old factory! I looked at the plan of the Wulin Bay Bridge, which will extend all the way to the border of the Magic City District. There will be a new high-speed rail line planned there in the future, so I'm afraid it's not suitable for a garbage factory..."

Chen Xi's next words poured cold water on Yang Qing.

“Are you worried about the distribution of benefits?”

"Not really. If the new factory is halfway through construction and some documents are suddenly issued, do we have to move? It would be better to choose a new location."

“But we have already selected the location, and the current documents clearly state that we can build the factory.”

"That's now! I don't know how you got the land and the approval documents, and I don't want to ask more. But if the country's large-scale projects are delayed, your approval documents will be like waste paper."

"Assuming that the Wulin Bay Bridge is fully built, or our factory does not affect traffic or environmental impact, do you still agree with the location of the new factory?"

"Well, we can talk about it then!"

"What do you mean let's talk about it later? The equipment has already been purchased." Yang Qing said angrily.

"You didn't even tell me before purchasing the equipment. Are you confused about the difference between the big and small ones? Next time, hold a meeting to discuss before making a decision. Don't treat the company as if it's yours. This incident should serve as a lesson for you."

"you……"

"You'd better pay attention to your brother when you have time. He seems to be a little crazy recently. I told him last time not to mess with me. Why is he in trouble again? Well, I have something else to do, so I'll hang up first."

"Dudu."

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Yang Qing curled her lips: "Humph, all these are just excuses, it's nothing more than bargaining. We have already obtained the approval documents, how can there be any problems in building the factory?"

More than a month later, Demon City.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Yang from Jianghuai Province and I are old classmates of Huaqing. He wants you to make some concessions on the construction of Wulin Bay Bridge." In the hotel room, a middle-aged man wearing glasses rubbed his hands.

"Mr. Yang? I seem to have some impression of him. He was the one who said that a garbage plant should be built near the bridge. How can there be any compromise on this matter? The design of the bridge was led by the China Communications Highway Planning and Design Institute, with the participation of many units. How can I have the final say? As for the construction unit, there are even more companies involved, and there are also many foreign institutions supervising and providing technical support. Having said that, putting his factory near the bridge is not only unsightly, but also harmful to the environment..." Fang Tiande shook his head.

He looked at the gift boxes in front of him and didn't even think about opening them.

What a joke! This is a national key project, how can we mess around with it?

"Mr. Yang said he knows. All you need to do is to raise any problems during the construction..."

"You should go find someone else." Fang Tiande interrupted the other party directly.

"We have already discussed this with other departments, so you are the only one left..."

"I think it's getting late. Let's talk about this later." Fang Tiande deliberately looked at his watch, found an excuse and left.

The second day after Fang Lin was kidnapped.

Xinlu City Police Department.

"The kidnappers demanded that the transaction be conducted in Xilu City." A short female police officer was holding a document. Sitting on the chairs in front of her were Chen Xi, Sun Cheng, Fang Tiande and others.

"Based on previous kidnapping cases, the transaction locations chosen by the criminals for the first time are usually a bit confusing. They were able to escape from Wulin to Xinlu under heavy blockades, which shows that they are not very stupid..." A male police officer next to him touched his chin.

"Do you mean that this transaction will most likely fail?" Fang Tiande glanced at the other party.

"Yes, and we all suspect whether they are in Xinlu, or still in Wulin." the male police officer said again.

"What should we do then?" Sun Cheng looked at everyone.

"I think they have already reached the vicinity of Xinlu. Even if they don't take the highway, they can take the waterway and then the car." At this time, Chen Xi, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Oh? Then tell me where they will be?" The male police officer glanced at him.

"There is more than one county-level city around Xinlu. You just said that the first transaction might have been released by the other party to confuse us, but we definitely cannot not go to the transaction. There are still three county-level cities left, and there are many towns, more than 50 in total. Two of the county-level cities are close to waterways. The waterway from Wulin to Xinlu is mainly connected through Penghu. The kidnappers are likely to use a route from water to land. First, use a boat to transport the hostages from Wulin to Penghu, and then go ashore from the north. The surveillance coverage there is the lowest, and it happens to be in the blind spots of several major traffic arteries. In fact, they are likely hiding in Jundong City, which is closer to the waterway. It is adjacent to Pengli City to the east, and thirty miles to the east is a town with developed waterways. And from the north bank to Jundong, it can perfectly avoid the checkpoints on the highway..." Chen Xi pointed to the map and analyzed.

With the memories of his past life, he naturally knew where the kidnappers were, but it still took some effort to explain it in a reasonable way.

The police were all puzzled when they heard Chen Xi's explanation. Although this explanation made sense, their professional instincts still made them feel that there was something wrong.

"Why do you know the terrain so well?" The male police officer narrowed his eyes after hearing this.

"Because my agricultural project is around Xinlu, I raise whitebait in Penghu, and I have a cherry planting base in Jundong City. I went to Jundong to do a project before, and my classmate's father happened to be the head of the Electricity Bureau and he received me..." Chen Xi had already thought of an explanation.

"He's right. These agricultural projects are strongly supported by the province." The head of the Xinlu City Police Department nodded.

"Then why don't they trade in Pengli City, but instead go to the farther Jundong City?" the male police officer continued to ask.

"Because the land transportation in Pengli City is not very convenient, they will definitely go somewhere else after getting the money. Jundong City is the first choice." Chen Xi was a little helpless.

Why does this policeman ask so many questions?

Your leader doesn't talk as much as you do.

If you ask me any more, I don’t know how to explain it.

"Well, I think his analysis makes sense. Let's start deploying the capture plan." The head of the police station, Li Jian, waved his hand.

The male police officer, who was about to ask questions, had no choice but to obey orders. (End of this chapter)
