Lu Yiwei was not interested in Wang Zhiquan's compliments. On the contrary, he felt disgusted. "Don't flatter me. I've only been here for less than half a year. Your results have nothing to do with me. From the County party committee, I will definitely support private enterprises, and I will do so with all my might. What's the saying? Don't forget your old friends when you're rich, right? "
Wang Zhiquan immediately said, "Secretary Lu, don't worry. I will never forget you."
Lu Yiwei quickly waved his hand. "I'm not your old friend. You don't have to worry about me. You just said that you won't be able to leave the County today, right? "
"Yes, yes, yes. That's for sure. I understand what you mean. This year, you plan to use 2 million to develop modern agriculture. I've already discussed it with Yongsheng Village's village chief. There will be a ceremony in two days. "
Lu Yiwei said thoughtfully, "Only 2 million?"
Wang Zhiquan rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand. "5 million to build a few dozen greenhouses and give it all to the people. I'll pay for the losses, and they'll pay for the profits."
Lu Yiwei did not say anything. Wang Zhiquan became more uncertain. He gritted his teeth and said, "10 million! Cooperate with the County's agricultural activities and develop a few special agricultural industries. Not only will we make Yongsheng Village rich, but we will also make the entire town rich. Furthermore, I plan to contribute to the education in my hometown. Anyone who gets into Tsinghua University will be rewarded 50,000 yuan. What do you think? "
Lu Yiwei still did not respond. This made Wang Zhiquan even more confused. It was already 10 million, and he still thought it was too little? After an intense struggle, Wang Zhiquan said, "Secretary Lu, how about this. Tell me how much you want me to pay. As long as it's within my budget, I will support it."
Lu Yiwei flicked the ash off his cigarette and said slowly, "Boss Wang, you're a smart man. You know what I want. Let's calculate today. Since 1996, when you entered the coal industry, how much tax have you paid? "
Wang Zhiquan's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a straight face and said, "Secretary Lu, I'm a law-abiding citizen. No matter what kind of tax it is, I'll always pay it in full. There's no need for the relevant departments to come and urge me. Every month, I take the initiative to pay the taxes. I've never missed out on any tax. "
"Is that so? It seems that I need to have the tax department sort out the taxes you've paid over the years."
Wang Zhiquan panicked, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. Qiang Zhuang said calmly, "That's not a problem. We welcome the relevant departments to investigate at any time."
Lu Yiwei's face suddenly sank. He stubbed out his cigarette and sat up. "Boss Wang, you might not know this, but I'm very familiar with the coal industry. He knew exactly what taxes he needed to pay, how to avoid taxes, and even how to evade taxes. So, don't be so sure. If we really find something wrong, it's not a joke. It's a crime. "
Wang Zhiquan's face was ashen as he squeezed out a smile, "Secretary Lu, in our line of work, we're actually risking our lives to earn money. It might seem like we're making money, but we don't dare to be careless. If anything goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility. All these years, I've been paying attention to safety. Especially in recent years, there haven't been any accidents … "
Facing Wang Zhiquan's irrelevant answer, Lu Yiwei interrupted, "Don't go too far. We'll talk about it next time. I'm looking for you today to talk about the taxes. If you pay up, I'll let bygones be bygones. Continue to do your job. If you don't want to pay up, we'll talk about other things. "
Wang Zhiquan insisted that he did not evade taxes. "Secretary Lu, I understand what you mean. The County is in trouble now, and as an entrepreneur, I should support you. How about this? I'll take out another 10 million. What do you think? "
Lu Yiwei was unmoved. "Let me correct you. The County is not in trouble. It's just that I'm managing the County Government now, and I need to settle old debts. 10 million is too little, right? "
Wang Zhiquan wiped the sweat off his forehead and closed his eyes. "20 million."
"Are you trying to bargain with me?"
"30 million! I really can't give any more. I've already taken out all of my assets. If I give more, I'm afraid my coal mine will not be able to continue operating. "
Lu Yiwei stared at him for a long time. The sharp, cold light in his eyes made him shudder. After a while, Lu Yiwei said, "You know how much you've given up. How about this? I've done some calculations, and I don't need more. As you said, the coal mine still needs to continue operating. 80 million is the middle. "
Wang Zhiquan almost jumped up. This is not a negotiation. This is daylight robbery. If the other party was not the Secretary of the County party committee, he would have flipped the table. He put on a fake smile and said, "Secretary Lu, are you joking?"
Lu Yiwei said expressionlessly, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Wang Zhiquan clenched his fist and slowly loosened it. A complicated expression appeared on his face. "Can you let me think about it?"
"There's no room for negotiation!"
Lu Yiwei said firmly. "Boss Wang, we're all smart people. There's no need to talk nonsense. You're also a party member. You know what a party member values the most. If we get serious, I'm afraid it won't look good for either of us. "
Wang Zhiquan gritted his teeth and nodded. "Fine. Give me some time. I'll raise the money as soon as possible."
"You only have three days. We'll see the results in three days."
"Damn it!"
Wang Zhiquan cursed angrily. Guo Jiajun happened to hear it. He stepped forward and said, "Boss Wang, I think I heard something just now."
Wang Zhiquan looked at him from the corner of his eyes. "Who are you?"
Guo Jiajun did not show any fear just because the other party was the richest man in Chang 'an. He said righteously, "My name is Guo Jiajun. We might be in contact often in the future. Also, as a big boss, it's not appropriate for me to say such words. "
Wang Zhiquan could not be bothered with him. He put his hands behind his back and left leisurely. After entering the elevator, he immediately dialed Liu Zhankui's number.
The phone on the table rang. Guo Jiajun immediately picked it up. "Hello, Secretary Lu. Okay, okay. I'll inform him right away. "
After hanging up, he opened his contact list and dialed the number of the general manager of Longjiang Coal Industry. One after another, he called the bosses of all the businesses in the county. It seemed that Lu Yiwei was going to "solicit alms" from them.
Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaohe arrived first. His speed surprised Guo Jiajun. He panted and said, "I happened to be working in the county. I rushed over as soon as I got the call. Director Guo, what did Secretary Lu call me for? "
"I'm not sure. Wait a minute. I'll go inform him now."
After a while, he came out and said, "Boss Zhang, Secretary Lu wants you in."
