After listening to Xiao Zheng's seemingly nonsensical but actually profound words, Xiao Zheng's eyes widened. Minister Tang's heart tightened as he vaguely sensed that Xiao Zheng was implying something else.
He couldn't help but frown and said lightly, "Boss Xiao. I don't know what you're going to say. But I can tell you for sure. No matter what you want, I'm afraid you won't get anything from me. "
Minister Tang laid out his cards.
After such a long standoff, Minister Tang finally revealed his trump card.
Didn't you, Xiao Zheng, want me to approve Linghu Zhu's project?
Aren't you, Xiao Zheng, relying on your status to force me to submit?
Dream on!
I, Old Tang, have the final say here. It's not your turn to bare your fangs and brandish your claws!
As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the officials. With Minister Tang's authority, he could block Linghu Zhu's project. No matter how powerful you are, Xiao Zheng, how can you brazenly force me to do things for you?
Moreover, Minister Tang had been determined to slap Xiao Zheng in the face since the beginning. Even if Xiao Zheng held a knife to Minister Tang's neck, he wouldn't be able to make him give in.
Xiao Zheng smiled and gently clapped his hands, saying, "Since Minister Tang refuses to share the burdens of his old subordinates, I'll do my best. In that case, I can only do business. "
Director Li sneered. "Boss Xiao, it doesn't seem appropriate to use the word 'business' to describe yourself, does it?"
Using this word in front of a group of officials was indeed a little too arrogant.
However, it was a pity that their understanding of Xiao Zheng was rather incomplete.
"Director Li, how about I give you a heads-up?" Xiao Zheng squinted his eyes and smiled. "Do you think my description is appropriate?"
Director Li pricked up his ears and said, "Boss Xiao, please instruct us."
"Flip to the last page of the document and see who signed it," Xiao Zheng said playfully.
Wasn't the person who signed it Linghu Zhu?
Don't tell me you've added your name, Xiao Zheng?
So what if I add your name, Xiao Zheng? Could it be that Xiao Zheng's face is as big as the sky?
Chief Physician Li sneered, but he did not bite the bullet. Instead, he flipped the document to the last page.
Once he took a look, Director Li's expression changed drastically. His eyes were filled with panic.
"Director Li, if you know those words, please read them out for me. Xiao Zheng casually took out a cigarette from the box in front of Minister Tang and lit it up slowly.
Since he was in a good mood today, Xiao Zheng made an exception and smoked two cigarettes. He would apologize to Young Master An when he got home.
Department Head Tang looked at Director Li with a burning gaze. "What's going on? Who else signed it? "
Could it be a big shot that he couldn't afford to offend?
Impossible —
The country had a written rule that the immediate family of an official was not allowed to do business. Although, to a certain extent, this was a pit dug for themselves by those with vested interests. But he had no choice but to jump. After all, power was bestowed by the people. They couldn't treat the people too lightly, could they?
However, there were countermeasures for the policies. Although many relatives of officials did not dare to openly do business in the local area, they could still put their names on it. Or they could directly move to other provinces and cities to make a fortune. This kind of relatively implicit behavior, whether it was inside or outside the circle, no one would care about it. They couldn't control it.
But at least, he had never heard of an official who held power and made a fortune in business at the same time. That was simply treason!
Therefore, Minister Tang was at least sure of one thing. Apart from Linghu Zhu's name, the other name could not be big enough to crush him!
"Long Formation —"
Director Li swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His expression was confused.
Long Formation?
It was really the f * cking Long Formation!
Perhaps before the global anti-terrorism campaign, many people and even government units did not quite understand what the term meant in the military. They had never even heard of it!
But after Xiao Zheng led the team to fight a global anti-terrorism campaign that shocked the world. The name of the Long Formation became famous all over the world!
And as an honorary instructor of the Long Formation, his prestige in the military had reached an unprecedented height!
An organization that was once ordered to disband by the higher-ups and be divided into other units. But with its tenacious vitality, it created a miracle.
Who in the room did not know the name of the Long Formation?
However, how could a legendary military organization be involved in such a business project?
Wasn't it too brazen, too arrogant, and too despotic?
"Long Formation?" Minister Tang smiled a little strangely.
This Xiao Zheng's ability did not seem to be as great as Secretary Song said. It might even be self-defeating, and even the Long Formation might be dragged down by him.
Why couldn't he find a backer? Even if he found a few big shots who were on good terms to come forward and coordinate, Minister Tang could not completely ignore the move. But now, he actually added the name of the Long Formation to the document!
What did this mean?
Threatening me with the Long Formation?
Sorry, this matter not only does not scare me, Old Tang. On the contrary, I will reserve the right to participate in the Long Formation!
Minister Tang did not believe that all the higher-ups had no prejudice against the Long Formation!
It was impossible for such a sharp and sharp military organization to win the favor of all the big shots!
"Minister Tang's smile is really chilling." Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes and glanced at Minister Tang, then his eyes fell on the face of Director Li. "Director Li. What do you think about this matter? "
"I have no opinion." Director Li pursed his lips and said. "But I want to ask Boss Xiao. As a military organization, the Long Formation seems to be violating military discipline by participating in this matter, right? "
"It seems that Director Li is not knowledgeable." Xiao Zheng smiled and glanced at Minister Tang casually. "Minister Tang. What do you think? "
"I am not knowledgeable either. I hope Boss Xiao can give me some guidance. "Minister Tang said slowly. He waited with great interest for Xiao Zheng to continue.
"I believe that Minister Tang should have heard some stories about the Long Formation. For example, the Long Formation once faced a breakup. They even had no money to pay their salaries and buy weapons. "Xiao Zheng smiled and said calmly. "The reason was that the Long Formation could not get military funding."
Minister Tang frowned slightly. His mind was a little confused.
He had indeed heard about these things that Xiao Zheng mentioned. After all, the Dragon Group incident had caused quite a stir back then. Even the head of the Long Formation, General Qi, had gone around trying to make connections to stabilize the Long Formation.
But in the end, no one was willing to fund the Long Formation.
Yes!
At that time, the higher-ups had made a bold statement that the Long Formation would face financial bankruptcy if it did not disband! When that time came, they would not even have food to eat. How could they continue to operate?
Later on, the Dragon Group became famous all over the world and received widespread praise. However, the higher-ups still felt that it was a loss of face, so they just symbolically allocated bonuses every year. They did not want to go back on their words.
But on the other hand, the higher-ups were very generous and gave the green light. They allowed the Long Formation to open up a whole new field. Similar to state-owned enterprises, they could be self-sufficient through some resources given by the state.
When Minister Tang thought of this, a layer of cold sweat suddenly appeared on his back.
He could only blame the Long Formation for giving people too direct a stereotype. Even if there was some information in Minister Tang's mind, he could not connect it immediately.
At this moment, he suddenly strung the information together. He felt as if he was struck by lightning.
What the f * ck — is this stopping the Long Formation warriors from getting rich!?
