Just as their business was starting to pick up, they were reported. The people from the Bureau of Safety and Public Security immediately arrested them on the spot and sent them to prison for a few years. In prison, they met Ma Gang. The four of them hit it off and became sworn brothers. They were known as the "Four Great King Kongs."
After they were released, the coal mine in Shiwan Village had already been contracted by outsiders. But they were not satisfied and continued doing their old business. Relying on their ruthlessness, the four brothers quickly established themselves as the bosses in Shiwan Village and became the local tyrants. Everyone was scared out of their wits and ran away. Among the four brothers, San Dan was the biggest fool and always rushed to the front in every fight. Qin Erbao was the smart one and always acted according to the situation.
But since Nanyang County carried out a crackdown on illegal mining every year, Ma Linhui always felt that doing it in secret was not the right thing to do. So he targeted the coal mine in Shiwan Village. At first, he only harassed and collected protection fees. Gradually, his ambition grew and he wanted to take over the coal mine. Under pressure, Ma Linhui took back the coal mine at a small price and renamed it "Erbao Coal Mine."
Under the management of the four brothers, coupled with the good returns, the few of them quickly became billionaires with a lot of money. With the money, Ma Linhui quickly realized that he could not stand firm without a backer. After learning that Li Senlin, the deputy mayor, loved calligraphy, he used the same trick to get close to Li Senlin. It was said that in order to please Li Senlin, he spent a lot of money to buy an authentic work of Du Huan, the great calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, as a meeting gift. Since then, the two of them had been close.
Ma Linhui later gave up the management rights of the coal mine to Qin Erbao and opened an art gallery in Bei Zhou City, which specialized in getting in touch with high officials and dignitaries. At this time, the four brothers had a clear division of labor. Ma Linhui was in charge of making connections and going up, Qin Erbao was in charge of the management of the coal mine, San Dan was in charge of sales, and Ma Gang was in charge of construction. Each of them had their own responsibilities and cooperated very well.
Later, Li Senlin went to the National People's Congress and got Ma Linhui a position in the Municipal People's Congress. With this position, Ma Linhui became even more unscrupulous and allowed Qin Erbao to mine without permission. His business grew bigger and bigger.
Hearing this, Bai Yuxin had a general understanding of the four brothers. She said, "So this Ma Linhui is actually the real controller of the coal mine?"
Xiao Dingyuan nodded and said, "That is indeed the case. However, after the four brothers became rich, they gradually developed a big conflict. Especially that Qin Erbao. Who knew how much money he had embezzled behind Ma Linhui's back, and it seemed like he was trying to get rid of Ma Linhui. Ma Linhui knew all of this, and he had long since wanted to capture Qin Erbao. However, Qin Erbao was no longer the Qin Erbao of the past, and it would not be easy to touch him. If you, Ma Linhui, can take the upper class route, why can't I, Qin Erbao, do the same? Qin Erbao directly extended his connections to the province, catching Ma Linhui off guard. Since then, it has been a stalemate. "
"Ma Linhui raised San Dan, so of course he couldn't stand what Qin Erbao was doing. Thus, San Dan tried to take back the coal mine, but he was brainless, so how could he beat Qin Erbao? Qin Erbao and the hemp pole are in cahoots, and the conflict is getting deeper and deeper. "
Hearing this, Bai Yuxin was even more confident in taking down Shiwan Village's coal mine. She said, "Old Xiao, let me ask you, is there any procedure for Shiwan Village's coal mine?"
"I'm not too sure about that. If you want to know the exact situation, you should ask the Land Bureau. However, as far as I know, the procedure for Shiwan Village's coal mine has long been invalid, and it has never been done," Xiao Dingyuan said.
Bai Yuxin continued to ask, "Doesn't the county know about this?"
"What's the use of knowing? Who would dare to touch a single hair of theirs? They don't want to offend anyone, so they might as well turn a blind eye to it, "Xiao Dingyuan said honestly.
Bai Yuxin slammed the table and said, "No wonder Nanyang's economy can't improve. It's all because of these vermin. How despicable!"
Xiao Dingyuan continued, "Old Bai, actually, the situation in Shiwan Village is more serious than you think. I reckon Yiwei has already told you, so I'll just say a few more words. Qin Erbao basically controls all the coal mines in Shiwan Village. The coal produced by the other coal mines can only be sold to him, and he will sell them all. If anyone dares to sell coal secretly, they will probably be chased out of Shiwan Village the next day. "
"The other coal mines? Are they all coal mines with procedures? "Bai Yuxin asked.
"There are one or two, but most of them are black coal mines," Xiao Dingyuan said.
"Alright, Secretary Xiao, I understand the basic situation now. I'm sure you know the reason why I invited you to dinner today. Since County Head Zhang wants to reform the enterprise, as the person in charge of this project, I can't disappoint County Head Zhang's expectations of me. Before I start the reform, I want to reorganize the entire county's coal mine market, with the focus on Shiwan Village! " When Bai Yuxin was angry, the color of the scar at the corner of her eye would darken, and her facial expression would also become distorted, making her look intimidating.
Xiao Dingyuan said, "Old Bai, I can lend you the soldiers, but let me ask you something from the bottom of my heart. Do you really intend to stir up this mess?"
"What a joke!" Bai Yuxin expressed her disdain towards Xiao Dingyuan, saying, "If I don't do it for real, then why would I come to Nanyang?"
Seeing that Bai Yuxin was angry, Xiao Dingyuan hurriedly said, "Old Bai, don't be angry. I'm doing this for your own good. Ma Linhui and Qin Erbao are not easy to deal with. If you touch either of them, you might face unprecedented difficulties."
Bai Yuxin also realized that she had spoken too harshly just now, so she apologized, "Old Xiao, I'm not targeting you. It's just that after hearing what you said, I'm very sad. I didn't expect Nanyang to become like this after all these years. Ma Linhui and Qin Erbao are like abscesses, and if we don't poke them out, Nanyang will never be able to rise again. I know you have good intentions, and you're afraid that I'll be attacked and retaliated against, but if I don't care about it, who will? Since County Zhang has made up his mind, I'll charge forward without hesitation. I'll be the bad guy! "
Hearing Bai Yuxin's resolute words, Xiao Dingyuan was also affected. He held his hand and said, "Old Bai, I know you're bold, and you're not afraid of offending people, but the world is different now. It's very complicated, and I'm afraid that you'll be at a disadvantage, brother! But after hearing what you said just now, I'm deeply touched. I won't say much, but count me in as the bad guy. "
Lu Yiwei stood up excitedly and said, "Count me in as well!"
Seeing this, Bai Yuxin filled his cup, raised it, and said, "I'm not a good talker, so I won't say much. Today, I'll also make my stance clear. I'm determined to be the bad guy. Regardless of whether it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I'll use this pair of meaty feet to step through it. Even if I'm covered in cuts and bruises, I won't even frown. Come, cheers! "
The three of them couldn't be said to have sworn a blood oath, but their righteousness pierced through the clouds and resounded through the universe. In the near future, Nanyang County would launch a large-scale operation. Would Bai Yuxin be able to win this "battle"? It was still an unknown.
The three of them chatted until late at night before dispersing. When Lu Yiwei returned home, he was excited when he thought of Bai Yuxin's words that night. Nanyang needed such an iron fist person. Regardless of whether Bai Yuxin succeeded in the future or not, in Lu Yiwei's mind, he was a great hero.
Early the next morning, Lu Yiwei didn't sleep in as usual. Instead, he got up early and washed up. He parked the car at the County party committee's compound and then walked to Zhang Zhiyuan's dormitory to accompany him for breakfast.
During the meal, Zhang Zhiyuan said, "Yesterday, I discussed with Chairman Duan and planned to hold a Chuangwei mobilization meeting tomorrow. The time is relatively rushed. After that, you go and help Chairman Duan and do a good job in logistics services."
"Okay, I'll go after eating." Lu Yiwei said.
"By the way, Mayor Su will come over to participate in the mobilization meeting tomorrow. After the meeting, he will go down to take a look. You discuss with Chairman Duan and see which points, and then make sure to clean up the environment today." Zhang Zhiyuan emphasized.
After eating, Zhang Zhiyuan said again, "In a while, inform Secretary Kang to come to my office."
Lu Yiwei had almost no contact with the County party committee's deputy secretary, Kang Dong. He didn't understand his situation. He only heard about it from others. He thought about it again and again and decided to go to the office to inform him in person.
Kang Dong's office was on the third floor on the left, the same floor as Liu Kecheng. If Lu Yiwei wanted to go upstairs, he had to go through the County party committee. Some time ago, after Lu Yiwei was humiliated by Liu Kecheng, he suffered sarcastic remarks in this corridor. He didn't fight back but chose to leave silently.
After a few days, Lu Yiwei walked in this corridor again. The treatment he received was completely different. His colleagues who just came out greeted him warmly. Even those who were sitting in the office reading the newspaper ran out and flattered him shamelessly. Lu Yiwei didn't get carried away just because he got the upper hand. He greeted them one by one and climbed up to the third floor.
When he knocked on Kang Dong's door, Kang Dong was pretending to read the newspaper. When he saw Lu Yiwei, he only raised his eyelids slightly and continued reading the newspaper.
Lu Yiwei carefully closed the door and walked to Kang Dong's desk. "Secretary Kang, County Zhang wants you to go over."
After a long time, Kang Dong replied with an 'oh' and put down the newspaper. "What's the matter? What is it? "
Lu Yiwei said, "I'm not sure about the details."
"Oh, you're not sure either?" Kang Dong said in a strange tone. "You're County Zhang's secretary. How can you not know?"
Lu Yiwei could feel that Kang Dong wasn't friendly. However, he didn't offend this Buddha. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. "Secretary Kang, I'm just a nobody. I never get involved in important matters that involve the county."
"Oh." Kang Dong could also hear that Lu Yiwei was a little unhappy. He said, "You don't know? Why did I hear that you're very capable? You have political brains and economic foresight. Is the orchard in Dongwa Village really not yours? "
Kang Dong's words were getting more and more ridiculous. Lu Yiwei said, "Secretary Kang, I've conveyed the message. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." After that, he walked out of the office without looking back.
Seeing that Lu Yiwei dared to give him an attitude, Kang Dong crumpled the newspaper on the table and scolded, "You're a dog that uses its power to bully others!"
