Su Cheng did not independently deal with the problems encountered by Liuzi and Jin Yanrou. For the two central media reporters, most of their investigations and interviews in the country are safe, and the ability to create a clear sense of crisis shows that the other party is powerful.
Of course, China¡¯s political circles in the 1990s were full of all kinds of roughness and conflicts, which were the inevitable results of immature integration. If two people happened to be caught between the gaps in the gears, it wouldn't be surprising to be targeted.
The most urgent task is to find the reason first.
Su Cheng quietly found Wang Ting and asked him to contact Minister Zhen, who he had a good relationship with.
In seven years, Wang Ting served as a secretary and worked in three or four different agencies and departments, almost without missing a beat at every step. However, even though he was in the core agency, he still had no way to directly provide help to the six sons, but Sioux City is different.
As early as when Su Cheng started, he helped Wang Ting and the leaders he served exchange foreign exchange. Over the years, although the two sides rarely communicated directly, it is more accurate to say that Su Cheng deliberately broke away from direct contact and switched to Wang Ting. However, in many aspects, Dahua Industrial, which has a large number of resources, still gave Minister Zhen considerable support, thus forming a tacit cooperative relationship.
This kind of relationship is naturally not as deep as Ding Zhipeng or Qi Meng, let alone Lin Yonggui and others, but it is enough to understand some news and deal with some simple problems.
Wang Ting put down what he was doing and made an appointment with his old leader. Then he made a special trip to Guangzhou to understand the situation.
It was only with the guarantees from both parties that Liuzi explained to him in detail.
However, Liu Zi did not find strict evidence. After finishing speaking, he also said sheepishly: "Maybe I accidentally offended someone in the club"
"Is there any progress over there in Wuxi?" Wang Ting continued in the preset direction.
Liuzi was silent for a moment, then continued: "We interviewed some people and got some information. Alas, it doesn't hurt to tell you. It's about Wuxi Xinxing Industrial Corporation's large amount of private funds raised from the private sector. As far as we know, they started around 1990. So we started doing this, and the amount is expected to be very large. The interest is also very high Well, do you know about the Ponzi scheme?"
The term ¡°Ponzi scheme¡± did not become well-known to the Chinese people until the U.S. financial crisis. However, Wang Ting stayed in the agency all year round. I come into contact with all kinds of major and important cases every day. It is inevitable to read foreign case documents. Naturally, I will not be tripped up by this simple question. I said directly: "Is this what we call tearing down the east wall to pay for the west wall? Do you think this new star company is using the money borrowed from behind to pay back the front wall?" Account?"
"It's very possible that because their interest rates are too high and they borrow too much, it's far more than what they need. Since they can't use it for production and operations, and the interest rates are too high and they can't re-lend, then their borrowing behavior all year round is very serious. It¡¯s suspicious. We estimate that they have fallen into a financial crisis and cannot survive without borrowing"
Wang Ting said clearly, nodded and said: "If this is not the case, they should borrow money in the off-season and pay it off in the peak season to save interest?"
"Yes, they borrow money all the year round. It must be because they don't have enough own funds. In this case, people who lend money to them are very dangerous. We roughly interviewed some companies and government agencies and found that the proportion of borrowing money is very high and has changed. It has become a social phenomenon I originally wanted to collect more interview information and publish a series of reports, but it ended with just one report. Now, the people being interviewed don't admit it anymore, so" Liuzi showed a helpless expression. There was no help from a voice recorder or portable camera now. When it comes to small things, reporters can make things up at will, but when it comes to big things, it's hard for reporters to get evidence.
Wang Ting understood something and asked: "Then do you know who is protecting them?"
"It's hard to say." Liu Zi glanced at him awkwardly and said, "Don't blame me for not telling you before. I think it is difficult for local cadres to interfere with the personnel appointments of the central media. Maybe we are overthinking it. .¡±
"It's not that difficult. I mean, if you really get someone's sore thumb, the guy who borrowed so much money, and the guy behind him By the way, isn't there Jin Yanrou? She's from the TV station, right? , and nothing was recorded?¡±
"She arrived late. People didn't dare to talk about it when they saw such a big camera."
"In this case" Wang Ting said without confidence, "I'll ask what Minister Zhen has to say."
Without tangible evidence, it is not easy to intervene from a high level.
Liuzi said uneasily: "If it's too difficult, forget it. I'm doing well in Guangzhou. The weather is a bit hotter, the food is good, there are many private enterprises here, and it's easy to find reports"??¡±
"Okay, just wait with peace of mind. This matter is a bit difficult for us, but for Su Cheng, it's just the same thing."
Liuzi heard the same thing and said with a smile: "This guy's reputation has increased so much in recent years"
"You are in a newspaper office. If you go overseas and then go to Suzhou, the business will definitely be easy. Hey, if you ask me, when things get over here, we really might as well forget about going overseas."
"You are already in your prime, yet you still go into the sea? Are you willing to do so?"
"So." Wang Ting shook his head with a smile and said, "I'll go see when Minister Zhen has time. Don't be too anxious. It depends on when he can spare time."
Although Minister Zhen is about to retire, he has accumulated considerable strength. He is an old man with seniority, rank, popularity and business. No matter how difficult the case is, as long as it is domestic, you can definitely go to him. But precisely because of this, it is not easy to invite Minister Zhen. On the one hand, the inviter must be dignified, on the other hand, he must have time, and finally, the case must be interesting. Otherwise, Minister Zhen will be more likely to be invited. Maybe send a subordinate over.
Liuzi nodded silently. At this level, it was already out of his control.
That afternoon, Wang Ting passed the news on.
Su Cheng flew directly here under the pretense of going to Guangzhou to sign a city natural gas pipeline agreement.
As a Chinese metropolis adjacent to Hong Kong, Guangzhou has been supplied by Hong Kong¡¯s natural gas pipeline for a long time. Hong Kong's natural gas pipeline companies, such as China Natural Gas Company, cannot easily go to the mainland to expand their business, but they will not give up the market in open coastal cities.
However, the huge LNG agreement signed by Dahua Industrial with the United Arab Emirates in order to obtain the Setan Oilfield has come to an end. These huge quantities of cheap natural gas from the United Arab Emirates allow Sioux City to earn about twice the excess profit, but its cost is still cheaper than the natural gas transported to Hong Kong.
As a result, Dahua Gas Company has the capital to compete in these traditional big cities, and it also allows Suzhou City to sell more natural gas directly to terminal operators, and the profit margin thus obtained has exceeded one billion. dollars and still increasing.
In such a fully competitive market, once Dahua Industrial¡¯s natural gas pipeline is completed, even if they cannot completely expel crude oil from the urban natural gas official road, they can still join forces to cut off the involvement of latecomers, and the profits will only become more and more abundant.
Even if the UAE¡¯s natural gas orders end, Dahua Gas Company will be a pure cash cow.
With such a huge market and prospects, it is only natural that Su City comes here.
He spent one day doing business, and on the pretext of going out to look for food, he took Shulan to various teahouses.
When he goes to a teahouse, he tastes a few snacks, and then changes to another teahouse, just like a young man hanging out in a bar at night.
After changing several places in a row, Su Cheng finally met Liuzi, Wang Ting and Jin Yanrou in the elegant room of Xianfeng Teahouse in the city center.
In the past two days, Su Cheng has also learned about some illegal fund-raising problems in Wuxi, and always feels that there are dangers surrounding it. Although he doesn't know what happened there or what will happen in the future, the issue of illegal fund-raising has always been a sensitive issue in the mid-1990s, especially for large private enterprises. He naturally has to deal with it carefully. .
Wang Ting was somewhat disapproving and said with a smile: "There is no news from Minister Zhen yet. You came so early, can you wait?"
"If there is no news within three days, I really won't worry."
"oh?"
"How about I ask you to meet in the evening?" Su Cheng meant that there would be news tomorrow.
Wang Ting was a little disbelieving and said with a smile: "I thought you were too careful."
¡°It¡¯s best if there¡¯s no news, and we¡¯ll be more relaxed.¡±
"It would be better if the report could be produced again. It would not be a waste of time." Jin Yanrou has a higher goal and her voice is soft.
Su Cheng smiled and threw a shrimp dumpling into his mouth. Looking carefully, he saw that there were still more than half of the dim sum on the table.
And the main force at the table, Shu Lan, who always enjoys good food and never gains weight, behaves like a lady, with only her bulging breasts standing tall.
By comparison, it seems that Shu Lan's figure is really better than Jin Yanrou's.
Su Cheng was secretly evil for two seconds, then ate in silence, pretending not to see anything.
After supper, Wang Ting and others returned to the hotel with patted bellies and fell asleep peacefully.
Although they have not seriously considered it, Wang Ting, Liu Zi and Jin Yanrou all feel much more settled since Su Cheng arrived.
the next day.
The breakfast time at the hotel has not yet come, so I am fast asleepWang Ting was woken up by a hurried phone call.
The voice of Minister Zhen, who loves health care, sounded surprisingly: "I have arrived in Guangzhou, please bring someone over to see me."
Wang Ting was so excited that he woke up and said hurriedly: "I understand, I'll set off immediately."
"Well, if Mr. Su is not busy, please invite him to join us." When talking about Su City, Minister Zhen was quite polite.
Wang Ting nodded repeatedly and said, "I'll go make an appointment with him right away."
While talking, Wang Ting put on his clothes, secretly surprised.
Minister Zhen is good at business and has been promoted step by step from the grassroots level of the public security system. Until today, his subordinates have handled countless major and important cases.
Wang Ting was surprised that he responded so quickly, but he rushed to Guangzhou in person? There was absolutely no way it was just to be polite.
Wang Ting couldn't help but start to recall the whole story of the case that he knew.
