Meng Qingdong, the chairman of the hotel, had already received the news that the city government wanted to take over the ownership and management rights, so three days ago, he rushed to Phoenix from Hong Kong and started public relations.
However, Vice Mayor Wang Weixin and Wang, who was in charge of the economy at that time, have been transferred to the cultural and education department. Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee Dang Xiangrong has also been transferred to the Provincial Federation of Trade Unions for retirement. Things have changed, who else would care to greet him?
Zhang Yaodong didn't receive him at all. As for Duan Weihua, they sent Liu Min to deal with it. However, when Chairman Meng tactfully raised the issue about the Holiday Inn, Secretary Liu's face immediately dropped, "Who are you listening to?"
What you mean? Why did you know about things that Mayor Duan didn’t even know about?"
In desperation, Meng Qingdong called the province, but the provincial leaders were also vague, saying that if the local government's decision did not involve issues of principle, the province would not interfere too much.
At this time, Zhang Lingling and Chen Taizhong came to visit. Section Chief Zhang was really quick to speak, "This is a decision made by the Fenghuang City Party and Government Joint Meeting. I am here to inform Mr. Meng.
"
"Have any of you done this?" Meng Qingdong immediately became angry and said, "I have invested more than 10 million in Holiday Inn, and now you just take it away if you want?"
"It's useless for you to tell me this." Zhang Lingling has Chen Taizhong, a "kung fu expert" beside her, and is not afraid of Chairman Meng jumping into the wall. "This is the city's decision. We believe that the original agreement has big loopholes.
It's so simple, we can't just sit back and watch the loss of state-owned assets."
"How come your state-owned assets were lost?" Meng Qingdong laughed angrily, "At the beginning, Vice Mayor Wang repeatedly promised, patting his chest and promising that he would strictly abide by the contract."
"Through the asset evaluation of Holiday Inn, we believe that its market value should be between 28 million and 32 million. How can your 10 million account for 51% of the shares?
Zhang Lingling sneered back at him, "Principles are more important than human feelings, and I will give you tax exemption for ten years..."
"Ten years! The annual profit and tax of Holiday Inn should be more than 1.5 million. Now you have been operating for three years, understand? Your illegal income has not been recovered, and you can already laugh!"
"Haha, it's all up to you to say what's right or wrong," Meng Qingdong continued to sneer, his face turning from red to green, "When you asked me to invest, why didn't you say that? Do you really want to be unilateral?
Break the contract?"
"The contract itself is unfair. We just declare the contract invalid. There is no such thing as tearing it up." Zhang Lingling doesn't care about the other party's reaction at all. Anyway, she is here to be a villain today. If you have any magical powers, you can go to the market.
It's done in a provincial way, and I mean that those who don't know are not guilty!
"Your government is pure garbage!" Meng Qingdong pointed at Zhang Lingling and yelled in anger. "Wang Weixin, how much benefit did Dang Xiangrong take from me, ah? Now you are just shrinking your head and not even farting, you are simply a bunch of scum.
!”
"Speak carefully to me," Chen Taizhong said coldly. What kind of investment can make investors take the initiative to give benefits to the parties? Obviously, there are some unknown secrets in the investment process of Holiday Inn, "Be careful.
We are suing you for defamation!"
Now he knows how to use the law to protect himself? What did he do in the past? If Zhang Lingling came here to be a villain today, he came to be a thug. As a thug, he must also have the awareness of a thug.
Hearing Meng Qingdong's unscrupulous words, Zhang Lingling felt happy in her heart. The other party had begun to bite people unscrupulously, which meant that there was no help behind her. In this case, she was not afraid of offending this person no matter how much she did.
"Haha, if you have evidence, you can sue them," she replied with a sneer, "However, I suggest you not to talk nonsense and maliciously slander and slander national civil servants. This is a very serious crime."
Meng Qingdong only dared to say this in front of the two of them. He knew very well that those who did the specific work were small people. In fact, being able to say this in front of small people had already reached the peak of his anger. He expected him to speak on this topic again.
It's impossible to go down.
Of course, he has other ways to vent his anger, "This matter must not be left alone. I demand fair treatment. Otherwise, I will report this matter to the Hong Kong media and let everyone know that you Phoenix
Tiannan Province boasts that it 'welcomes investment from Hong Kong', what kind of investment environment is it!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lingling couldn't help but feel a little thump in her heart.
This reaction was not what she expected, but it actually made her feel something.
—
Before coming, she considered the worst possible situation. In addition to the other party taking direct action, this kind of statement should be the worst, destroying the city's economic development and affecting Phoenix's public image. This kind of hat is hers
She can't afford to wear it, but since she is the executor, she has to bear this responsibility.
Of course, she is also a decisive person. Since it is inevitable, she might as well stay single. She sneered, "Haha, of course Phoenix City welcomes investors, but for investors like you, that may not be the case."
.”
"Then you just wait, I swear, I will make you stink!" Meng Qingdong shouted hysterically, without even a trace of the so-called magnanimity.
"It's no use swearing. If you're a man, just make it and show it to everyone." Chen Taizhong couldn't bear to be threatened. Hearing this, he smiled in a very sunny way. When it came to hurting someone's feet, he
If you claim to be number two, I'm afraid not many people would dare to pat their chests and claim to be number one.
"Originally, we wanted you to divest your capital or reduce your shareholdings. If you insist on making a big fuss, I think someone might invite you to tea and conduct an investigation, haha."
To be honest, the city has absolutely no intention of encouraging Meng Qingdong to cause trouble. As for the investigation, that is even more nonsense. It is nothing more than the change of power in the officialdom. Although it is serious, it does not reach the level of life and death.
During the few days he accompanied his family, although Chen Taizhong didn't talk much, he was able to understand the mentality of investors who had returned from overseas. Talking about patriotism and hometown is just ancillary things, nothing more than profit.
As a result.
Moreover, because China has been subjected to some demonizing propaganda for a long time, this kind of people have a very subtle mentality towards the government. It can be said that they both hate and love the government, especially the legendary "people's democratic dictatorship".
All investors can't help but feel frightened when it comes to being investigated by relevant departments.
No sane person would be willing to challenge the iron fist of the state's violent institutions unless the mistake is forced, let alone a billionaire business tycoon?
"Investigation?" Hearing this, Meng Qingdong couldn't help but stumble in his heart even though he was furious. He forced himself to calm down, looked at Chen Taizhong and Zhang Lingling with disgust, waved his hand casually, and revealed the corners of his mouth.
A disdainful sneer, "Okay, I have nothing to say to little people like you, so hurry up and leave."
Listening to his tone and looking at his gestures, it was as if there were not two people standing in front of him, but two flies flying around.
"Tch, you are a big shot, haha." Chen Taizhong is really good at robbing people. Of course he has to retaliate in kind when the other party treats him like this. "Yes, he is such a big shot. He can't even protect his own property. It's simply too much."
It makes me admire..."
"You!" Meng Qingdong gritted his teeth and glared at him, while Chen Taizhong kept sneering and looking at him sideways.
This guy seems to be deliberately looking for trouble? This idea jumped into Chairman Meng's mind involuntarily. Could it be that... someone was afraid that I would cause trouble through this and wanted to set me up to go to jail?
The colors on his face kept changing from red to white, blue to purple, and he was obviously stunned. Zhang Lingling calmly turned her head to look at Chen Taizhong and asked with her eyes: "Shall we go?"
Chen Taizhong raised his chin and looked sideways at Meng Qingdong. Seeing that this man didn't answer for a long time, he felt that he had the upper hand and finally smiled proudly at Zhang Lingling: Let's go!
Treating Meng Qingdong like this, Chen Taizhong doesn't have any psychological pressure at all, nor does he feel any guilt. You upper-level people are fighting and killing, so you can do whatever you want. As long as you don't make excuses in front of your buddies, it doesn't matter.
Looking for trouble? Come over here.
However, when he thought about the families he had been in contact with for a few days, he was a little worried about the environment in Phoenix City. He would never end up with a similar fate if he invested in other families, right?
Ordinarily, he didn't have to worry about his family's life and death, but when his family's grandparents and grandchildren were around, they were very kind to him, and in this life he had worked hard, and he had become somewhat human, so he couldn't help but
You need to think carefully about it, do you want to help me find out the cause and effect?
After returning to the car, Chen Taizhong asked, "Zhang Ke, is this Holiday Inn really a big problem? Or does Mayor Duan want to use this to take back the company?"
