Ouyang Tong has not fully understood the situation yet, and Yang Dayuan's new attack has come again.
Just as Xu Wenzhao was making every effort to prepare the market and celebrate the budget plan, Zeng Ge called her again. Zeng Ge had a deal with Boyi Company and found that Xu Wenzhao was an extraordinary figure in this company, so he naturally understood that Xu Wenzhao must have an extraordinary connection with this company. It is not surprising that someone who works in finance now holds multiple jobs at the same time, let alone a financial and tax expert like Xu Wenzhao. I wonder how many companies are willing to hire her as a consultant or similar position. Since the relationship between Qing Dynasty's Xu Wenzhao and Boyi Company is extraordinary, when something happens, Zeng Ge doesn't hesitate and directly tells Xu Wenzhao that trouble has come again. Xu Wenzhao was taken aback and asked, 'How many?'? Zeng Ge said It's still a small fuss My handkerchief I'm too lazy or Can you bring 40000 yuan to handle it?
Put down the phone, will Xu Wenzhao go find Ouyang Tong? Ouyang Tong was burying his head in writing a plan in the office. After listening to Xu Wenzhao's report, he slammed his pen to the ground and destroyed a famous Parker pen.
Xu Wenzhao said, I have calculated that apart from Wen Yufang's other two businesses, the total commission payment for all other small businesses should be subject to personal income tax of over 39000 yuan. This indicates that Yang Dayuan still has these two accounts and is likely to settle them with us in the next step. Once we pay this money, the money in our account can probably cover our office expenses for another three to four months. The question is, what should we do if the other two transactions are also reported?
Ouyang Tong said, take one step at a time. I don't believe we can't overcome this hurdle. Please handle this matter first before proceeding.
Xu Wenzhao took the cash to the district tax bureau and dealt with the matter.
On April 30th, Ouyang Tongzheng convened a meeting to discuss the proposal for modifying the bidding documents. The bidding plan they submitted has been approved by the Standing Committee of the DeShan Municipal Committee. The bidding announcement of DeShan City will be published in the Jiangnan Daily and Yongzhou Urban Daily on May 1st, and then the next day, for a total of three times. The announcement stipulates that the deadline for submitting bids is May 15th. All projects with a certain base price must be tendered, which is a mandatory requirement of the country to prevent insider trading. However, in reality, there are policies and countermeasures in place, and behind every bidding project is full of tricks, almost without exception, the result of insider trading. However, the strict regulations on bidding increase the cost of the project and also increase the opportunity for some people to break down the integer price into smaller parts. Of course, there are still surprises. You may have insider information, and others may also have insider information. After all, the release of an announcement is not just one or two people who have knowledge, especially government departments and agencies that are layered. It is unknown how many links need to go through, and information and leaks may occur at each link. Later, Ouyang Tong found out that the series of actions taken by Yang Dayuanzhao and Boyi Company, as well as himself, were precisely caused by the leakage of such information.
On April 30th, when Ouyang Tongzheng convened a meeting, four staff members from the Trademark Office of the Industry and Commerce Bureau came to the door. I heard that the visitor was from the Industry and Commerce Bureau, so Ouyang Tong dared not neglect it and had to terminate the meeting and come forward to receive him. After sitting down, the other party introduced themselves to the Trademark Office, and Ouyang Tong was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, what is the relationship between the Trademark Office and us? The person in charge of the other party said, Mr. Ou, there's something I'm afraid I need to trouble you with. Ouyang Tong said, may I ask what's the matter? The person in charge said that we have received a complaint that you have infringed on their trademark, so we are investigating it. Ouyang Tong's first reaction was impossible. However, they provided relevant information that clearly showed that Boyi Culture Communication Co., Ltd., the trademark registration agency, is a subsidiary of Daolong Construction Engineering Company. Ouyang Tong, a subsidiary of this construction company, said, 'How is it possible? Boyi Culture Communication is registered with us.'. When we registered, we checked and there was no one with the same name. The person at the trademark office clearly told him that they had checked the computer records and that Ouyang Tong's company had a business registration record, but no trademark registration record. Ouyang Tong asked the other party what their requirements were,
The person from the Trademark Office said that they are currently only filing a complaint and have not made any specific requests. We are only conducting routine investigations and will seek a solution through negotiation between both parties once the facts are confirmed.
In fact, this survey is very simple. Boyi Company has been using Boyi Communication's registered trademark. Several advertisements they have made, such as Lin Fei's advertisement for North Cosmetics and even the promotional brochure they printed for the company, all use this trademark. All kinds of advertisements posted on the company's homepage and the signboard L outside the company's entrance use this trademark.
Ouyang Tong doesn't need to think carefully to understand why his own trademark has become someone else's. At first, they did register the trademark, and later when he checked the account, he also saw the cost of registering the trademark. However, when Yang Dayuan finally returned the company's relevant documents, he did not see any information related to trademark registration. It is obvious that Yang Dayuan intentionally left some company information in order to deal with Ouyang Tong in the future. Yang Dayuan returned a lot of various materials, but Ouyang Tong couldn't verify them one by one because he didn't have a specific list, so this information was missed.
At first, Ouyang Tong wanted to call Wang Yudan and Qiu Ping, hoping that they would give him advice on how to handle this matter? On the other hand, when it comes to dealing with Yang Dayuan, Wang Yudan and Qiu Ping's words are still ringing in their ears. Everything now proves their foresight. He didn't want to embarrass himself, so he changed his mind and called a deputy director of the Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce. The deputy director asked him to wait for a moment and will reply to him soon. Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, he called back and told Ouyang Tong that this is a state-owned enterprise under the Provincial Department of Construction called Daolong Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd. Its main business is highway and bridge construction. Since he knew the details of the company, Ouyang Tong felt that things would be easier to handle. He immediately called Xiao Zheng, the secretary of Director Wei of the Provincial Department of Construction, hoping to invite Director Wei to have dinner together. Xiao Zheng said that because tomorrow is the May Day holiday, Director Wei has already made arrangements I can't even spare time. After May Day, I will have a meeting in Beijing and may directly travel abroad for inspection, which means I will be away from Yongzhou for about a month. He has a social gathering tonight, probably nothing special, just having dinner with an old comrade who is about to retire. Why don't you come over too? If you have time after dinner, you can have a talk.
Coincidentally, it was Director Wei who bid farewell to Chairman Liang of Daolong Company at the dinner that evening.
Daolong Company was originally a labor service company under the Ministry of Construction. Later, it enjoyed the advantages of the market economy and developed rapidly, becoming today's large group company. However, the leaders of Daolong Company are still cadres under the Ministry of Construction, with the highest positions being Chairman and General Manager, at the level of department head. Chairman Liang, who is about to retire, is a great contributor to Daolong Company, so Director Wei specially held a banquet to see him off. Ouyang Tong originally wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Director Wei alone about this matter after dinner. Seeing the company chairman present, he thought it was the right time and took advantage of the opportunity to propose a toast.
Chairman Liang was momentarily stunned when he heard about this matter. He strongly doubted the true intention of Director Wei for setting up this table of wine, and what made him even more embarrassed was that recently, he had mainly considered his retirement life and some arrangements before retirement, without inquiring about the company's affairs. He knew nothing about what Ouyang Tong mentioned.
Director Wei sat next to Chairman Liang and didn't hear clearly what Ouyang Tong had just said to him. When he saw Ouyang Tong drinking from his glass, Chairman Liang held his glass and awkwardly stood there, which was quite strange. He said, "Old Liang, Ouyang Tong is a talented person who even takes the initiative to toast the Provincial Party Secretary. He respects your wine, how can you not drink it?
Director Liang Lan said, 'Drink, drink, of course I want to drink.'. As he spoke, he dried up in one gulp. Then, Chairman Liang took the initiative to hold a glass and retaliated to Ouyang Tong, saying to him that he would investigate his matter tomorrow. He will inform you of any results as soon as possible.
The next day was the first day of the May Day holiday, and Deshan's bidding announcement was published as scheduled. Ouyang Tong is completely unsure how many advertising companies have seen it. However, his bid is nearing completion, and such thorough preparation has boosted his confidence a hundred times. The night before, he received another message from Jia Yuge, saying that Yang Dayuan had returned to Deshan with his wife and children for the holiday, but this news did not attract much attention from him. Is Yang Dayuan from Deshan? It's completely normal for him to go back to Deshan for festivals.
In the afternoon, he received a call from Chairman Liang, saying that he had arranged a dinner party for him and asked him to show his appreciation tonight.
When Ouyang Tong rushed over, the private rooms in the restaurant were already filled with people. Chairman Liang introduced him to Luo Hong, General Manager of Daolong Company, Wang Haigang, Deputy General Manager, and Zhao Liya, Office Director. Sitting alone, Ouyang Tong was unexpectedly pushed to the guest of honor seat, with Chairman Liang and General Manager Luo accompanying him on both sides.
After picking up the wine glass, Chairman Liang said that he had just made many introductions to Ouyang, but there was one introduction that I have kept until now. All of us present here did not have a connection with Ouyang because we heard about his reputation. We have another deep connection with Ouyang. I heard that a few months ago, we registered an advertising company called Daolong Advertising, right? Luo Hong said that it can be called Daolong Cultural Communication or Daolong Advertising. Director Liang Lan continued, 'There's one thing I don't understand. Since our company is called Daolong Communication, why is our registered trademark called Boyi Communication?'? Wang Haigang said that this is because we bought someone else's trademark. Director Liang Lan exclaimed, 'But I still don't understand. Can't we register for Daolong Communication?'? Why do we have to buy Boyi Communication? Is it enough to register a trademark for only a hundred yuan? How much did you spend on purchasing a trademark? When Chairman Liang asked this, she looked at Luo Hong. Although Luo Hong didn't understand why the chairman suddenly asked about this matter, she wasn't prepared to answer directly, but looked at Wang Haigang. Wang Haigang said it cost 400000 yuan. Chairman Liang put down the glass he had raised and said, 'It seems that this glass of wine cannot be consumed.'.
Everyone was puzzled. Chairman Liang was originally going to have the opening drink, but why did he put down his glass again? As the general manager, Luo Hong is quite good at handling situations. She said, 'Chairman, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We were wrong, and we will humbly accept criticism.'.
Chairman Liang said, 'I don't have anything to say, I really have nothing to say.'. Do you know? My younger brother Ouyang also has another identity, he is the chairman and general manager of Boyi Communication. You bought his trademark for 400000 yuan, how can I drink this glass of wine?
Chairman Liang said this, and several people present opened their mouths wide. Type. Obviously, they only understood the purpose of this meal after hearing these words. The situation suddenly became awkward, and no one was able to continue the conversation. Ouyang Tong is a person who is good at adapting, but he never expected Chairman Liang to start like this, leaving everyone unsure how to continue. Ouyang Tong doesn't even know what Chairman Liang means. Finally, Chairman Liang broke the silence and said, 'What do you think about drinking this wine?'? Vice President Wang, can you tell me how to drink this wine?
Wang Haigang said, Chairman, if you ask about alcohol, then I say, drink it as you want.
If you ask Shang Zhen, I think everyone here knows a word called 'business talks about business'.
Director Liang Lan didn't expect Tears to confront him like blood, so he couldn't bear to lose face. His face immediately changed and he said, 'You're a good businessman. So let me ask you, registering a trademark costs only a few hundred yuan. Why would you spend 400000 yuan to buy a trademark?'? Is this also business talk?
Wang Haigang said, I'm sorry, Chairman. Regarding the operation of commercial divination There are outsiders present, so it's not convenient for us to discuss here. If the chairman deems it necessary to understand the specific operation of this business project, I can report to the chairman at another time. However, today is really unfortunate. I still have some urgent matters to attend to and have to take my leave first. As Wang Haigang spoke, he stood up and reached out his hand to Ouyang Dong, saying, 'Mr. Ouyang, it's nice to meet you. We'll see you later.'.
Ouyang Tong didn't expect things to take a sudden turn for the worse, let alone that Wang Haigang in front of him was so heartless. He is also a tough person, and he never shows any courtesy towards someone who disrespects him. Facing Wang Haigang's outstretched hand, he sat there motionless and said, 'There will be a deadline later, I think it's certain.'. However, I really want to shake hands with you, but I have a problem with my hands. Whenever I encounter a small person, I can't reach out.
Wang Haigang's face changed color suddenly, and his outstretched hand was difficult to retract. He had to slap it down on the table in front of him and loudly say, 'Don't be too arrogant.'.
Ouyang Tong coldly chuckled and said I suggest that after you leave here, you immediately buy a mirror to look at yourself and see your face clearly.
Chairman Liang trembled with anger. He slammed the table and loudly said, 'Wang Haigang, this is my treat. It's not your turn to act recklessly here. Get out of here, immediately.'.
Wang Haigang obviously did not take the soon to retire Chairman Liang seriously. He turned to Chairman Liang and extended a hand, pointing at his nose as if to say something. Luo Hong said coldly, Vice General Manager Wang, you don't seem to be the Chairman yet, do you? It's better to endure some things.
Wang Haigang glared angrily at Luo Hong, snorted heavily, and turned around to leave.
Chairman Liang immediately said to Ouyang Tong, 'Ouyang, I'm really sorry. I didn't expect to encounter such a second rate official.'.
Ouyang Tong immediately said, Brother Liang, if you're sorry, it should be me. I didn't expect to cause you such trouble.
Chairman Liang sighed and said, 'A depilated phoenix is not as good as a chicken.'. What kind of trouble can I have? As someone who is about to retire, I am living a peaceful life. It's actually Ouyang, brother. I originally wanted to help you, but I didn't expect to mess things up.
Luo Hong said, just now Wang Hai was here, there are some things I can't say. Isn't he arrogant because the higher ups are preparing to appoint him as the chairman? If he were still the vice general manager, would he dare to be so crazy? Chairman, I said you can't just leave like this. Anyway, Daolong Company is your hard work, just like your child, it was created by you in your twenties. What is the current scale? More than 4000 people, with an output value of billions. Can you bear to be destroyed by him?
Ouyang Tong listened for a long time and finally figured out something. He interjected, 'Do you mean that he is about to become the chairman? What's his background?'? Luo Hong introduced that Wang Haigang transferred from the military to the local government a year ago. When he transferred, he was at the deputy division level, which was a very high level. In the local government, he could basically be arranged for a deputy department level position. However, in reality, no one in the local area is willing to assign such positions to an outsider. Therefore, military transfer cadres are often demoted, with those who are lucky being demoted by half, and those who are unlucky being demoted by several levels. Wang Haigang was initially assigned to the Construction Department, and a few months later, he was arranged to become the Deputy General Manager of Daolong Company, but in reality, only a deputy department level position was assigned. Wang Haigang naturally disagrees, not to mention a deputy department level position, even if he is the chairman or general manager of Daolong Company, at the department level, his mind will not be balanced. For over half a year, he has been building relationships with me. This time, it happened that Chairman Liang had reached retirement age, and the Construction Department, under pressure from the province, had to agree to appoint him as the chairman.
Ouyang Tong asked, does he know how to do business?
Chairman Liang said, 'You know nothing.'. He doesn't know anything except for flattery and running for official positions.
Luo Hong sighed and said, 'He is the deputy general manager in charge of the company's administration and finance.'. In the past, when I was in the army, I probably didn't have such a wealthy career as a running officer. Now it's different. The company earns billions of yuan in revenue every year. After coming to the company for more than a year, I only did one thing besides transporting goods to the province one after another. I registered Daolong Advertising Company and acquired your trademark
Ouyang Tong said, I don't understand this. Since he has been with the company for a year and has never been involved in any commercial operations, why did he only get involved in the buying and selling of the Boyi trademark? Isn't this too strange?
Luo Hong said, yes, I also find this strange. As Chairman Liang just said, we are in the construction industry, and construction is our profession The company has also made a resolution that its development direction is in the construction and related industries, and it will never develop horizontally in the Sichuan industry. According to this resolution, we will not enter the advertising and cultural industries. But at the beginning of this year, Han Hai suddenly proposed to build it? At that time, Director Liang Wang was basically no longer in charge of the company. Although I was the general manager, there were some things within the company that were not clear and I couldn't manage too much, so he set up this item. So far, not only in terms of operations, but also in terms of personnel, this company still doesn't have one. So, we don't understand what's going on.
Ouyang Tong said, I understand now. He actually registered this company specifically to acquire this trademark. There must be some trickery in this. For the 40000 yuan spent on acquiring the Boyi trademark, it is estimated that at least 300000 yuan went into his pocket.
Luo Hong said, we also estimate that this matter must be related to personal interests, but we cannot obtain evidence.
Ouyang Tong said, if such a person becomes the Blue Chief, can your company still expect to develop well? Is the Construction Department not clear about his character and abilities?
Luo Hong said: Maybe it's because we have different perspectives when considering issues. We are considering the development of the company, while we are considering the balance of power above.
Early the next morning, on his way to the company, Ouyang Tong thought about the trademark and felt depressed. It's all my own fault for letting Yang Dayuan off the hook and ending up in such a miserable situation. At this point, if there is any way to kill Yang Dayuan, Ouyang Tong will never have any mercy again. But as Qiu Ping and Wang Yudan said, the best opportunity was given up by himself. If he wants to find another opportunity now, he can only rely on fate. When parking the car and taking the elevator upstairs, Ouyang Tong sent a text message to Secretary Zheng: Has Wang Haigang's appointment been issued yet? Soon, Secretary Zheng's reply came, two words, none. At this moment, the elevator door happened to open, and Ouyang Tong was walking towards the company while sending another message. Is it possible to change? When crossing one's own power and the office, Secretary Zheng's text message came, still two words: 'Cannot'.
Ouyang Tong didn't want to send text messages anymore, so he simply dialed his phone number and asked him, why not? Does Wei Ting know that he knows nothing about business? Secretary Zheng said, why do you care about these things, kid? Does Wang Haigang have a grudge against you? Ouyang Tong said that not only do they have grudges, but they are also as deep as the sea. Secretary Zheng said, are you kidding? He has been in the army all along. What does it have to do with you? During dinner the day before yesterday, Ouyang Tong thought the matter had been resolved when he met Chairman Liang, so he did not mention his purpose to Director Wei and Secretary Zheng. I didn't expect things to get stuck on Wang Haigang, so he had to tell Secretary Zheng what had happened. After hearing this, Secretary Zheng said, 'So that's what happened. You told me earlier.'.
Ouyang Tong asked, do you have a solution? Secretary Zheng said, you're saying this because you don't believe me
After hearing this, Ouyang Tong had a sudden realization. Even if Wang Hai just has the ability to communicate with the heavens and cannot handle Director Wei, everything is fake. In other words, as long as Director Wei is dealt with, even if the entire Construction Department opposes this matter, there is no possibility of change. Since Wang Haigang and Xin Chang have already put on the same pair of pants, anyone can avoid this matter, and only Director Wei can speak up. Of course, when Secretary Zheng speaks, it is equivalent to Director Wei speaking. As the chairman of a large company with billions of yuan in output value, Wang Haigang has no need to forcefully defend a trademark worth only 400000 yuan.
Ouyang Tong said a few words that made this happen, and I would like to thank you again. Secretary Zheng is also generous, saying, 'You said this and it caught me off guard. I was hoping to have the opportunity to thank you.'. Don't worry, I won't handle this matter for you. I'll kneel down and climb to your doorstep to clear your name.
Secretary Zheng's words are a guarantee. Ouyang Tong is also aware that when he said he wanted to thank himself, he naturally referred to his secret efforts when he competed for the secretary of Director Wei two years ago? At that time, Director Wei's former secretary was arranged to become the section chief and needed to find a new secretary. There were several people competing for this position in the hall, and the competition was very fierce. Compared to others, Secretary Zheng's conditions can be considered the worst. He received a message from some unknown source that Director Wei liked Ouyang Tong very much, so he quietly touched Ouyang Tong's door. And a few days later, Ouyang Tong received an invitation from a vice governor to go fishing in the countryside together. Ouyang Tong took the opportunity to say that he really wanted to go, Director Wei of the Construction Department. The vice governor said, 'Oh, Old Wei?'? Then you can invite him to come with you. It's just a pre appointment. Ouyang Tong immediately called Director Wei. Upon hearing this, Director Wei was both pleased and pleased with the opportunity to approach the Vice Governor. However, he was worried that he was on a business trip out of town, and although he could make it back in time, he couldn't prepare.
Ouyang Tong said, 'Don't worry, all the preparation work was not done by him, but by Secretary Zheng. When I went to the airport to pick up Director Wei, Secretary Zheng accompanied me.'.
Although he had shown kindness to Secretary Zheng, after all, he was not familiar with him. Whether he could do it or to what extent, Ouyang Tong was unsure. Chatting a few words, he asked Secretary Zheng where he was and if it was possible to have lunch together. Secretary Zheng said that noon may not be possible. He is currently at Sheraton and the boss is playing cards here. He cannot leave. Moreover, if he stays at Sheraton, he might be able to handle Ouyang Tong's matter.
Ouyang Tong suddenly understood something important: Wang Haigang must have dealt with Director Wei through playing cards. Director Wei is a very courageous and capable leader, and the Construction Department has been a popular department in recent years. The reason why it is popular is that few department directors can sit for two full terms, either promoted or because anti-corruption cases have been brought down. Some provincial construction department directors have been corrupt for several consecutive terms and have been imprisoned. Where is Director Wei? I have been sitting in this position for ten years, neither up nor down. The reason for not being able to attend is likely because he likes playing cards. The leaders above are probably aware that Director Wei's playing cards is a means of gaining benefits, but this method is not a major greed and is not worth investigating. Also, due to minor flaws, the promotion was put on hold.
The second floor of Sheraton is a leisure tea house, which, like the 38th floor, has many private rooms. However, unlike the 38th floor, the private rooms on the second floor are often rented out to play cards and gamble, and the participants are often high-ranking officials and nobles from Jiangnan Province. The running skills that Wang Haigang had trained in the army were obviously put to use. He knew that Director Wei was a regular on the second floor of Sheraton and held the financial power of Daolong Company, so he took the opportunity to squeeze in with Director Wei and generously lost a few cards, making Wei feel comfortable growing up. In the future, whenever playing cards, Director Wei will think of Wang Haigang. Several months have passed, and Director Wei is now somewhat inseparable from Wang Haigang. No wonder Secretary Zheng said that it is no longer possible to change the appointment.
Since Secretary Zheng promised to resolve this matter, Ouyang Tong stopped thinking about it. He looked at his desk and found a fax in the group chat, which was sent by Jia Yuge. This fax was automatically received and sent out at 12 pm last night, detailing Yang Kang's activities in Deshan. This Lin Zhen shows that Yang Dayuan did not return to Yiyou for festivals, but returned to Deshan to handle affairs. He arranged for his wife and children to return to their hometown, while he stayed in Deshan City and went out all day. He didn't get it alone, and Juliyi was always with him.
Ouyang Tong's heart was secretly startled. Although Zeng Xianping and Wang Wenqing have already decided to give themselves the business, the problem is that neither of them can handle it specifically. If the person in charge of the specific task crosses the line, the situation will be extremely troublesome. It seems that I cannot just sit in Yongzhou to handle the bidding documents. I need to immediately rush back to Deshan to fight against Yang Dayuan.
What about the trademark issue if we rush back to Deshan now? Completely handed over to Secretary Zheng? What if there is an accident?
Ouyang Tong suddenly felt that since he was not good, why should he be good? It's better to give a good kick behind Wang Haigang, and it's up to fate which force will take effect.
Ouyang Tong immediately called Liu Chery, the director of the Public Security Bureau in Gucheng District, hoping that he would go to the second floor of Sheraton to catch the gambling. Liu Chery put down the phone and immediately deployed the operation.
When it comes to things, they are intertwined and interesting like stories. Liu Chery was originally Ouyang Dong's Chinese teacher when he was studying at County No.1 Middle School. By the time Ouyang Tong graduated from university, Liu Chery had already become the vice president. In the following years, Liu Chery's career was not smooth and he remained steadfast in his position as vice principal. Later, it was Ouyang Tong who acted for him in the province before he left The position of principal was transferred to the county education bureau as deputy director, then director and then deputy county magistrate. Ouyang Tong successfully served as the county magistrate for him, and later became the deputy director of the Judicial Bureau in Deshan City. The owner of Sheraton, Yan Chong'an, is also from Deshan and comes from raising ducks in Deshan. Liu Chery contracted the farm of County No.1 Middle School and built a breeding base there, gradually making a fortune. Later, he started construction and gradually shifted his business to the provincial capital of Yongzhou. Especially after the establishment of Sheraton, Yan Chong'an became one of the most famous industrialists in the province. He met more people and had a higher level of expertise. If he had to deal with all the social relationships, he had to focus on socializing every day and had no time to do anything important. So, in many past relationships, he could drag on, hide, and slack off whenever he could. Once, Liu Chery called Yan Chong'an. Yan Chong'an didn't want to come forward to receive him, so he used the excuse that it was very unfortunate that he was in Macau.
The reason why Liu Chery called Yan Chong'an was because he had already been transferred to the Gucheng District Public Security Bureau. Ouyang Tong used Sheraton to hold a banquet to celebrate for Liu Chery, and Liu Chery called Yan Chong'an to meet and establish a relationship, which would inevitably lead to contact in the future. Secondly, let's introduce him to Ouyang Tong and hope that Yan Chong'an can take care of this little brother at the appropriate time. San Lai, Bi Jing was treated by Ouyang Tong out of his own pocket, and no matter what, he still wanted to give Yan Chong'an a discount.
Since Yan Chong'an said he was not in Yongzhou, it's hard to say what Liu Chery said below. Coincidentally, when Liu Chery made this call, he was sitting in Ouyang Tong's car, which happened to be parked at the entrance of Sheraton. Liu Chery was still on the phone with Yan Chong'an when he saw him coming out of the Sheraton and getting into the car in front of him. Where can Liu Chery tolerate such contempt? At that time, he stated that he would have the opportunity to repair Yan Chong'an properly in the future.
Ouyang Tong comes from a journalist background and has had a lot of contact with entrepreneurs. He understands Yan Chong'an's mentality that it's better to do less than more, so he tried his best to persuade Liu Chery to let go of this matter. At the same time, he also knew that Liu Chery was always looking for opportunities to retaliate against Yan Chong'an. This time, Ouyang Tong gave a warning to Liu Qirui, and both of them had ulterior motives. His goal was to attack Wang Haigang, while Liu Qirui's goal was to teach Yan Qian'an a lesson. The subsequent development of the matter was full of drama. After speaking on the phone, Ouyang Tong left an office and drove to Deshan, while Liu Chery's police officers rushed to Sheraton. As expected, there were fifteen gambling games on the first floor of Jingyi, and more than nine million yuan was won on the spot. Director Wei and Wang Haigang have been arrested, and it appears that they have seized the largest amount of gambling funds, totaling over three million yuan.
That afternoon, Ouyang Tong arrived at Deshan and checked into the Xintian Hotel. Diagonally across from the hotel is the Delin Hotel. Ouyang Tong chose to live here because Yang Dayuan and Zhu Liyi live across the street, while Jia Yuge lives in Xintian. Ouyang Tong had just entered when Jia Yuge arrived.
Jia Yuge said that five people came together, and three people drove with Yang Dayuan on the 30th. Yang Dayuan drove back by himself and sent his wife and children back to their hometown, returning to Deshan on the same day. When Yang Dayuan returned to Deshan, it was already very late and he went straight into his room at Delin Hotel. At that time, Jia Yuge felt strange. Who registered Yang Dayuan's room? He checked in the lobby and found out that the person who registered that room was actually Zhu Liyi. Jia Yuge immediately registered the opposite room and had two subordinates stay there to keep an eye on Yang Dayuan. He himself checked into the Xintian Hotel. Considering the possibility of someone keeping an eye on Zhu Liyi, Jia Yuge called home and asked two other colleagues to drive a Beijing 212 with some necessary equipment the next morning.
The next morning, Yang Dayuan and Zhu Liyi went out together, had a free breakfast at the hotel, and then went out to handle their own affairs, one running to the municipal government and the other running to the municipal party committee. Jia Yuge originally thought that the two of them would still live in one bottle at night, but Yang Dayuan registered a room on the fourth floor. Coincidentally, Jia Yuge's team arrived and registered a room registration opposite Yang Dayuan.
Jia Yuge made a list of the people Yang Dayuan and Zhu Liyi had met in the past two days, with the highest ranking being Qiao Zhinong, the director of the municipal government office. Zhu Liyi also had a meal at Delin Restaurant. What made Ouyang Tong most uneasy was that there was no plan to establish a bidding office in Deshan City. It was only called upon by the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee to be temporarily responsible by the leaders of the Municipal Party Committee, Government Office, Political Research Office, and Legal Affairs Office, with Qiao Zhinong as the convener. Zhu Liyi and Yang Dayuan were able to accurately identify the key figures involved, which seems to indicate that they have obtained the relevant list and have started their activities with targeted measures. But on the other hand, you can't handle it, Bi Jing. This list is not the final confirmed list yet. It's completely normal for them to find anyone to operate in Deshan.
Ouyang Tong called to invite Qiao Zhinong to dinner. Qiao Zhinong said, Ouyang, how can you please me when I return to Deshan? Where did you place me as a landlord? Isn't that scolding me? Okay, let's book it at Xiuyun Mountain Villa. I'll let you know the specific room number once I've confirmed it. Before receiving a call from Qiao Zhinong, Ouyang Tong had already figured out the details of the dinner. He had informed him in advance through the government's insider, Zong Qiuyuan.
Before the banquet, Ouyang Tong went to Deyun Shanghuang and bought fifteen dry yuan shopping cards there. Taking advantage of the opportunity to drink, Ouyang Tong handed over these shopping cards to Zong Qiuyuan, of which seven were given to other government officials, and the remaining eight were Qiao Zhinong's five cards and Zong Qiuyuan's three cards. The dining table was very lively, and everyone knew about the relationship between Ouyang Tong and Wang Wenqing, showing him great respect. Taking advantage of the opportunity to toast, Ouyang Tong said to Qiao Zhinong, 'Brother, I'm begging you for the bidding matter.'. Qiao Zhinong held a wine glass in one hand and held his shoulder with the other, saying, 'Don't worry about this, there won't be any problems here.'. However, I heard that this matter may be led by Minister Hou of the Propaganda Department, and you will definitely have no problem with Minister Hou. However, I heard that this matter may be led by Minister Hou of the Yichuan Department. You should go to Minister Hou's place and participate in some activities.
Upon hearing these words, Ouyang Tong was momentarily stunned. Qiao Zhinong said that Minister Hou is called Hou Zhenzhen, and there is some conflict between him and Ouyang Tong. Ouyang Tong has always maintained a superficial relationship with Hou Zhenzhen, but Hou Zhenzhen hates him to the bone. Now that he has the opportunity, he will definitely crush him to death. This business seems to be hanging in the balance. What did Zeng Xianping and Wang Wenqing do? How could Hou Zhenzhen be held responsible for this matter? At the end of the banquet, the service lady delivered the order and Qiao Zhinong took over. Ouyang Tong immediately stood up and went to grab it, saying that no matter what, he would have to pay for this meal himself. Qiao Zhinong said, does your younger brother look down on me or something? This is in Deshan, not Yongzhou. If it's in Yongzhou, even if you don't rob it, you can't. In Deshan, which round did you get to talk to? I wrote my name on the drink list while speaking. Ouyang Tong could only say, in that case, why don't I invite everyone to sing. Qiao Zhinong said, 'Okay, everyone can take advantage of this and have some fun.'. Turning to his subordinates again, he asked The leader invites you to sing, how about everyone go? Qiao Zhinong's tone is beyond doubt, but the people below, one with children and the other with elderly, are all in trouble. Qiao Zhinong said, look at this matter. How about changing the date? Let's make an appointment in advance next time.
When returning to the hotel alone, Ouyang Tong felt a little depressed. There are two reasons for being depressed, one is that Hou Zhenzhen is actually the main person in charge of this matter. The members of the bidding team were originally selected by him and Wang Wenqing, and there was no Hou Zhenzhen at all. Why did such a person suddenly appear? The second is Qiao Zhinong's attitude towards himself. It seems that he is still enthusiastic about himself, but Ouyang Tong always feels that it is a bit routine. Is it due to one's own carelessness, or has Juliette's work already achieved results? He really wanted to make a phone call and ask Zong Qiuyuan, but then he thought, after all, she is already married. Has she returned home now? Besides, Qiao Zhinong seems to be good to her, but he's a bit unsure about their relationship.
After careful consideration, I have decided to give Wang Wenqing a call.
Wang Wenqing is in Yongzhou. For the sake of his child's education, he bought a house in Yongzhou and transferred his wife to work there. Taking advantage of the May Day holiday, he went back to Yongzhou for vacation. Upon receiving his call, Wang Wenqing said, 'I was just about to call you. How about that?'? Anyway, you have nowhere to go during the holidays. Come to my house tomorrow and have a drink with us guys? Ouyang Tong said, are you still drinking? I have the heart to drink dichlorvos now. Wang Wenqing said, what's wrong? Who provoked you? Ouyang Tong said, besides you, who else could there be? Let me ask you, why did you let Hou Zhenzhen be in charge of the bidding? Wang Wenqing said that it turned out to be this matter.
This matter was decided by Comrade Xianping, and he may not be very familiar with it. He made this suggestion at the Standing Committee, and everyone agreed. I can't say whether I agree or not, right? Ouyang Tong said, ended up selling me? Wang Wenqing said, how is it possible? Doesn't the final plan still need to be decided by the Standing Committee? Why are you in a hurry with this one?
Just hung up the phone, the phone immediately rang. Ouyang Tong picked it up and saw that it was Zong Qiuyuan. Zong Qiuyuan said, which room are you in? Ouyang Tong was delighted and told her the room number. She said, 'I'm in the lobby, I'll be there soon.'. Ouyang Tong was ready and waited at the door. As soon as the door opened, he reached out a hand, pulled her in, closed the door, and lifted her into his arms.
After the incident, the two of them lay in bed talking. Zong Qiuyuan said, I heard that something is not quite right between you and Minister Hou. What's going on? Facing Zong Qiuyuan, he didn't want to keep it a secret and revealed what happened back then.
More than a decade ago, Hou Zhenzhen served as the county party secretary in the county, and Wang Wenqing served as the director of the transportation bureau in the city. The two are competing for the position of deputy mayor, evenly matched and difficult to determine the winner. The two of them naturally searched for people everywhere, and they also found very capable leaders. Wang Wenqing and Hou Zhenzhen have good relationships with Ouyang Tong. If both of them come to him, it's really hard for him to stand up for anyone. However, Wang Wenqing found him while Hou Zhenzhen did not, which tilted the balance in his heart towards Wang Wenqing. Not long after, the provincial party secretary went to the countryside to conduct research, and Ouyang Tong was designated to accompany him for interviews. Along the way, Ouyang Tong wanted to find an opportunity to speak up for Wang Wenqing, but he was afraid of directly speaking up and causing the secretary's displeasure, which resulted in the situation being twisted. On the last day of dinner together, the secretary said, we will go back to the province tomorrow and have some drinks tonight. So, everyone drank together. The secretary was particularly happy that day and even took the lead in telling a joke, which was related to fake alcohol. Ouyang Tong had a sudden idea and told a joke related to fake alcohol.
Ouyang Tong said that he personally experienced this matter. He has a friend who works as a deputy county magistrate in a county and has a habit of drinking alcohol. But he never drinks at home, after all, what he drinks outside is someone else's, and what he drinks at home is his own. But there are often people at home who offer cigarettes and drinks. If you don't drink, you have to deal with it. His wife has a way, she always sells it at the county guesthouse. Moreover, his wife has a special habit of writing someone else's surname on the outside every time she collects something, and when she sells it, she also writes her surname on it. Once, Ouyang Tong went to the county for an interview, and the deputy county magistrate specially invited him to drink at the county guesthouse. He served three bottles of Maotai and opened the first bottle, which was fake. Ouyang Tong wanted to see if it was possible to identify counterfeit goods from the packaging, so he took the box over and saw two words on it: Hou Wang. Open the second bottle, it's still fake. Ouyang Tong found two words on it: Hou Sun. Ouyang Tong said that this bottle must also be fake. The deputy county magistrate doesn't believe it, he must open it, it's really like that. Ouyang Tong has experience, he took it over and saw that it was written as Hou Mao. The deputy county magistrate no longer believes in evil and asked someone to bring the fourth bottle. It says' Hou Bian 'on it. When opened, it is still fake. Someone around me said that all the Maotai here is fake, while Wuliangye is the real one. Ouyang Tong said, stop drinking this wine, it's all fake. The deputy county magistrate felt embarrassed and ordered a bottle of Wuliangye with the words' Hou Jin 'written on it. Open it and taste it, it's true.
The deputy county mayor couldn't hold his face. He finally invited a guest, and even hired a reporter from the provincial television station, but ended up with three bottles of fake alcohol in a row. He called the person in charge of the guesthouse over at that time and scolded him angrily, asking him what was going on and why so many fake drinks were in. This matter must be thoroughly investigated. I want to see who was so bold and brought in so many fake drinks. Ouyang Tong was also joking on the side, saying, 'Yes, your wine is really special. The Monkey King, Monkey Sun, Monkey Hair are all fake, even the Monkey Edge is fake, but the Monkey Spirit is real. Will this monkey's sperm make a monster?'?
After Ouyang Tong's story was told, someone immediately said, 'I know the guesthouse you mentioned is a guesthouse in a certain county.'. Not only are there two characters on the wine there, but also on the cigarettes, and most of them are fake. So, someone later gave that guesthouse a nickname, Hou Zhenzhen.
Ouyang Tong deliberately pretended to be confused and asked, why is it called Hou Zhenzhen? The person said, 'Hou Zhenzhen is the name of that deputy county magistrate.'.
I don't know if the secretary really listened to this story, but soon after, the People's Congress of Deshan City held a meeting to find the true name and it disappeared from the candidate list.
Listen to the story Zong Qiuyuan asked Ouyang Tong, how many people in Deshan know about this matter?
Ouyang Tong said, it's hard to say for sure. Hou Zhenzhen is also a person with many connections in the province. Who can guarantee that no one will tell him? Zong Qiuyuan asked again, are those words really written on those drinks? Ouyang Tong said that it is true that Hou Zhenzhen's wife wrote the giver's surname on cigarettes and alcohol, but as for writing Hou's surname, it is fake. I acted on the spot. Quan Qiuyuan punched him in the chest and said, 'You're really bad.'. Then he took out five shopping cards and handed them to him, saying, 'This is what Director Qiao asked me to give to you.'. Ouyang Tong was a bit stunned and asked, why did he return? Zong Qiuyuan said, he didn't say anything, just asked me to return this to you. So, coming to you tonight is considered official business.
Ouyang Tong looked at Zong Qiuyuan and felt that there was something in her heart that she hadn't said, so he said, 'What do you really know?'?
Zong Qiuyuan asked, do you also want to participate in the bidding? Ouyang Tong looked at her again. Zong Qiuyuan said, 'Deshan is just a little big, what can we hide?'? Did someone tell me about the bidding event. However, you may not know that you are not the only one making up your mind about this matter, many people are also making up their minds. Ouyang Tong asked, including Zhu Liyi? Zong Qiuyuan said yes. Ouyang Tong asked again, what does Zhu Liyi have to do here? Zong Qiuyuan said that I am not sure what her relationship is. She seemed to be holding someone's note to find Director Qiao. It was also dinner at Deyun Mountain Villa that time, and it was these people tonight. Julie gave each person a card worth two thousand yuan. I don't know how much I gave to Director Qiao or not. But I feel that Director Qiao is very good to Zhu Liyi. It was he who suggested to Zhu Mianyi that if Hou Zhenzhen were to take responsibility for this matter, there might be some drama. Julie Yi said at that time, 'You are my brother, and the path you pointed out must be correct.'. I will return to Yongzhou tomorrow and come back in a few days. Sure enough, within a few days, the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee discussed the matter of the bidding team and appointed Hou Zhenzhen as the Executive Deputy Director of the Preparatory Committee.
Ouyang Tong said, when did this happen? Zong Qiuyuan said that at the end of April, she couldn't remember which specific day: Ouyang Fu asked, according to your judgment, Zhu Liyi had already bribed Qiao Zhinong and Hou Zhenzhen?
Zong Qiuyuan said, 'I don't know if I'll buy it or not.'. Anyway, I feel like the two of them have already decided on Juliette. Today, Director Qiao asked me to call and book a room at Deyun Mountain Villa. I thought it was a banquet for Zhu Liyi. I heard that Zhu Liyi came to Deshan again, but she didn't go to the government office. Later when I received your call, I realized it was for you. At that time, I thought to myself, if you give him something, he might have some hope if he accepts it, but if he doesn't accept it, the hope is probably not high.
If we really don't accept his things, there's no hope at all? Although Zeng Xianping and Wang Wenqing are both friends, they are still carrying spoons in the same pot, and their teeth and lips inevitably touch each other. Zeng Xianping is both a Jiang Long and a secretary, a legitimate leader with a bold and decisive approach, surpassing Wang Wenqing in all aspects. After all, Wang Wenqing is a local leader who has been operating in Deshan for decades. His relationships are intertwined, and he himself is not a vegetarian. He is equally decisive in his work, so the two of them are somewhat at odds. Ouyang Tong knows the subtleties here, so he has never shown his friendship with the other person in front of them. Every time he comes to Deshan and meets them, he is extremely careful and tries not to let others know. But if you don't let others know, won't anyone know? As Zong Qiuyuan said, Deshan is only a palm sized place, what can be hidden? After Zeng Xianping arrived in Deshan, he promoted Hou Zhenzhen to become the Minister of Propaganda and a member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee, which seemed to have the intention of restraining Wang Wenqing. However, the appointment of Hou Zhenzhen as the Executive Deputy Director of the Municipal Celebration was the result of Zhu Liyi's activities, or was Zeng Xianping intentionally trying to restrict Wang Wenqing?
Upon this thought, Ouyang Tong truly felt that the matter was somewhat uncertain.
