Xiao Kaifeng arrived uninvited, which surprised Li Yuanlang.

After the pleasantries, Xiao Kaifeng said straight to the point: "Chairman Liao Youzhi of the Liao Group hopes to continue negotiating with the municipal government about the acquisition of Yuehua, but Mayor Zou is opposed."

"Secretary Li, the Liao Group not only agrees to take over all the employees of Yuehua, but also plans to invest 1.5 billion yuan in the expansion project. Not mentioning the increase in profits and taxes, there will be more than 800 more jobs alone. It can be said that it is full of sincerity. Just based on this

A little bit, it’s much richer than Duan Company.”

Li Yuanlang responded in a deep voice, "The city government has reached a cooperation intention with Du'an Company. Moreover, it was the Liao Group itself who proposed to terminate the negotiations and went back on its word. There is no integrity. How can there be sincerity!"

Xiao Kaifeng rubbed his hands and said: "Secretary Li just mentioned that the word 'termination' is inappropriate. It is not termination but suspension. After the Liao Group searched the Liao family villa at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, there were some voices of dissatisfaction among the senior management. Director Liao needs to take action from

Mediation, mediation and suspension of negotiations are only expedient measures."

"Now the company has reached a unified consensus and modified some conditions in order to promote negotiation and cooperation with the municipal government..."

"Deputy Mayor Xiao," Li Yuanlang raised his hand to interrupt, "Du'an Company will sign a letter of intent to cooperate with the municipal government tomorrow. Do you think it is appropriate for the Liao Group to step in at this time?"

Xiao Kaifeng defended: "The Liao Group was the first to negotiate with the city, and Duan Company is the one who intervenes. There must be a first-come, first-served basis."

Li Yuanlang snorted coldly, "The Liao Group has been talking about acquisitions. At the beginning, it only agreed to take over 60% of the employees, and left the rest to us."

"Suddenly, out of character, what does he think of us and what does the acquisition negotiation mean? Is it child's play? Let's not talk about this matter. According to the original plan, tomorrow the city will sign a letter of intent to cooperate with Duan Company, and I will still be present.

Signing ceremony.”

Seeing Li Yuanlang's resolute attitude, Xiao Kaifeng had no choice but to close his mouth when he was about to open it.

During lunch, Liu Yongqiang came over and reported to Li Yuanlang: "The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection received a letter reporting you, and it seems to be related to the acquisition of Yuehua Group."

Li Yuanlang frowned and fell into deep thought.

As soon as I got to work in the afternoon, my cell phone rang. After I answered it, a voice came from inside, "Hello, Secretary Li, I'm Liao Qing."

On the other end of the phone was Liao Qing, secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

After exchanging pleasantries, Liao Qing directly explained his intention.

"The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection received a letter saying that you act arbitrarily, suppress dissidents, and seek economic benefits for your friend's company, with ulterior motives behind it."

"Secretary Li, this report letter is not groundless. There must be a big discrepancy between the content of the report and the actual situation."

"According to relevant procedures, I must report to the provincial party committee and Secretary Zhou. I hope you can be mentally prepared to make this call in advance."

"Thank you, Secretary Liao, for your trust." Li Yuanlang put down his cell phone and leaned hard on the back of his chair. It seemed that the storm against him was already gaining momentum.

Li Yuanlang is a deputy provincial cadre, and his management authority lies in the capital. Even investigating him will be the responsibility of the discipline inspection department in the capital.

Liao Qing is only the secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and does not have this authority.

It is a necessary procedure for him to report to the secretary of the provincial party committee. If Zhou Xujie determines that Li Yuanlang has financial problems, he can report it directly to the Beijing Discipline Inspection Department, who will be responsible for the investigation.

Sure enough, an hour later, Liu Dong's call came as scheduled, and Zhou Xujie met him at the provincial party committee reception at six o'clock in the evening.

Fortunately, Li Yuanlang was prepared and asked Guo Zichen to drive him straight to Minchuan.

On the way, Li Yuanlang first received a call from Zhang Wanxing.

Li Yuanlang didn't have much contact with Vice Governor Zhang.

I just know that Zhang Wanxing was once a subordinate of Yu Jinfeng. When Yu Jinfeng was working in Ruozhou, Zhang Wanxing, as the deputy secretary-general of the Municipal Government Office, served Yu Jinfeng.

In view of this, Lian Mingyu took office in Minzhong and had many contacts with Zhang Wanxing.

"Secretary Li, the Liao Group is a Bay Area enterprise, and its chairman, Liao Youzhi, is also the vice president of the Bay Area Business Association. There are 5,000 Bay Area businesses in Ruozhou, and Bay Area businesses have become an indispensable part of Ruozhou's economic landscape."

"Secretary Li is asked to think carefully about the acquisition of Yuehua, and not to cause any conflict between the municipal party committee, the government and the Gulf merchants because of this matter."

Zhang Wanxing spoke cryptically, but what he said reminded Li Yuanlang that in the balance between the Liao Group and Duan Company, he was more inclined to support the former.

Li Yuanlang remained unmoved and spoke politely, but he had already made up his mind.

Li Yuanlang was not surprised when Lian Mingyu called him personally.

He is the provincial governor and is in charge of the province's economy.

There was no way he could take such a big news as the acquisition of Yuehua Group lightly.

On the phone, Lian Mingyu asked Li Yuanlang to contact Zhou Xujie after meeting him.

The provincial party committee secretary and provincial governor separately summoned each other, which is enough to show that this matter has risen to a higher level.

In the reception room of the guest house, Zhou Xujie extended his hand to Li Yuanlang and said, "Comrade Yuenlang, sit down."

Sitting on the sofa, Zhou Xujie put his hands on the armrests and asked slowly: "Comrade Liao Qing gave me a report. Apart from anything else, I just want to ask you, what is the relationship between Duan Company and the boss named Shao?"

What’s the relationship with you?”

Li Yuanlang answered truthfully and made a serious report to Zhou Xujie on the past and general situation of his acquaintance with Shao Zizi.

The causes and consequences of the Liao Shi Group were also explained in detail.

Zhou Xujie nodded while listening, "Comrade Shen Fang came to Minzhong last time, we talked. Comrade Yuen Long, the provincial party committee and I agree with your approach. However, the situation in Ruozhou is complicated, especially the Yuehua Group crisis has not yet

Calm down, the relevant cases are still under trial."

"Therefore, your actions should not be too big. Be careful if you exert too much force, it will be counterproductive. Moreover, the report letters were not only sent to the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, but were also received in the capital."

"Deputy Secretary Fu Anlan called me to inquire about this matter. Comrade Yuen Long, launching an investigation into you is to show our attitude. You must understand, obey the overall situation, and actively cooperate."

Later, Zhou Xujie told Li Yuanlang in detail about the matters involved.

It was already an hour after I came out of the Provincial Party Committee Guest House.

I contacted Lian Mingyu and the other party said that he would send a car to take over Yuen Long.

The meeting place is located by a beautiful lake.

On the top floor of this gray building, Li Yuanlang and Lian Mingyu sat opposite each other.

The same four side dishes as usual, but changed to a glass of red wine per person.

When he went to work in Minzhong, Lian Mingyu drank less white wine and often drank red wine as his companion.

With a sigh, Lian Mingyu said: "The Spring Festival will be here in a month. If I remember correctly, you will be forty-four next year, and I will also be in my forties."

"The climate in Minzhong is good. It's warm all year round, but it's a bit cooler in winter."

Li Yuanlang played with the goblet and said with deep emotion: "Governor Lian once worked in Jiangpu City, and I also have work experience in Xiangbei Province. We all have the same impression of the north and the south."

"That's right." Lian Mingyu felt the same. "Southern people are delicate, while northerners are rough. It has a lot to do with the environment, climate change and dietary structure."

"It's cold in the north a lot, so people like to go straight in due to their eating and living habits. In the south, the climate is warmer, and the food is light and sweet. You need to be careful and thoughtful in doing things, and consider the long term and comprehensively."

"Since ancient times, generals have come out of the north, talented men and beautiful women have come out of the south, emperors have been buried in the loess soil, and rebellions have come out of Hunan since ancient times."

"Whatever environment we are in, we must change with the changes in this environment."

The conversation changed and Lian Mingyu got straight to the point, "There is a Gulf Business Association behind the Liao Group, so when it comes to acquisition negotiations, you must first consider this."

"What's more, the background of Duan Company is the result of your active promotion by Li Yuanlang. Whether you admit it or not, labeling it with you is an inescapable fact."

"Shao Bonian has long wanted to expand his business to Minzhong Province, and opening the Zhuangyuanlou branch in Hehe City was his first step in asking for directions."

"You have tried your best to promote Du'an Company to settle in Ruozhou, which is exactly what Shao Bonian planned. There is another point that you cannot help but face. Shao Bonian is doing business in the place where you are in charge. Have you not considered the impact on you?"

"I know that you have no selfish motives and are completely considering it from the perspective of the tens of thousands of employees of Yuehua Group. You think so, but others don't think so."

"Yuen Long, you and I have known each other for more than a day or two. I invited you here to advise you to assess the situation. It is fine for Duan Company to settle in the valley or elsewhere, but not in Ruozhou."
