On the morning of the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, Chen Weizheng and the rest set off for Nanliu.
A Fenglin Tianze car sat eight people. According to the approved capacity, there was one extra person. During the Chinese New Year, traffic police rarely went out to check cars, unless the guy couldn't satisfy his wife and was kicked out of bed by his wife to patrol the streets.
The main drivers were naturally Chen Weizheng and Xiao Song. Xiao Song was full of energy, and it was his first time driving on the highway, so he was very interested in the boring long-distance driving. After driving for 400 kilometers, they stopped at Liupan Huaxi service area to rest and have lunch.
After lunch, Xiao Zhu took over as the driver. Her driving skills were quite good. She was steady and fast, and the fixed speed cruising system maintained a speed of 110 kilometers per hour. They only stopped to rest after they had left Liupan Territory and entered Nanliu.
Chen Liping took over the steering wheel and drove all the way to the service area of Spring City. It was not yet 6 pm, and everyone felt that there was no need to stay in Spring City. They could keep going and should reach the ancient town of the Chen Clan early in the morning.
They bought some ready-to-eat food at the service area of Spring City and continued on their journey.
After Liu Yi drove the car to Nanzhao, Chen Weizheng took over the steering wheel.
Most of the people in the car were already asleep. The two seats in the middle row were excellent sleepers. The three seats in the back could be adjusted to be like airline seats. Xiao Zhu and Xiao Song were in the middle of the middle row. Zheng Tien-tien was familiar with long-distance travel, so he could tell at a glance that the bed was comfortable. Before Liu Yu and Hua Zheng could react, he snatched the right to use the bed.
Chen Weizheng drove while Liu Yi sat in the passenger seat. The two of them chatted softly.
Even after Chen Weizheng and the rest set off, there was still no news from Ou Jie. Ruan Lei also did not receive a single word from him. Zheng Jianyi said that there was probably a lot of pressure from the higher-ups, and they could not come up with a unified opinion, so Ou Jie was still accompanying the leaders in a meeting. Liu Yi believed that the higher-ups were helpless against the actions of the Six Families of the Crown Prince. Because of the appearance of the Six Families of the Crown Prince, many of the higher-ups' wishful thinking had been disrupted. It would not be easy to adjust now.
Chen Weizheng said, "Although no one informed me, I have already felt that the higher-ups originally had a huge plan. The wishful thinking was pretty good. They freed me from the army so that I can focus all my energy on guiding the old Ming State. Perhaps I can find a new path. This path may provide some reference and suggestions for the development of the country." As for Longshan battery, the higher-ups had always believed that it was their personal property. No one should interfere, and no one could interfere. Who would have thought that a declining Crown Prince of the Six Clans would appear, overestimating themselves and jumping into a huge pit? From an official point of view, the higher-ups were very angry with the actions of the Six Families of the Crown Prince, because they had provoked Chen Weizheng and interfered with the implementation of the plan. However, from a private point of view, although the Six Families of the Crown Prince had declined, they were still inextricably linked to many of the higher-ups. If they were too miserable, the higher-ups would also feel uncomfortable.
The current situation was that the declining Six Families of the Crown Prince were already heavily in debt. The various loans and bank loans alone amounted to 70 billion. If Longshan battery could not start operating, just the interest alone would make them anxious. Until today, no one from the Six Great Families had contacted Chen Weizheng. It could be imagined that they were like headless flies, completely unable to find the right direction.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, an article titled "Yesterday's Daylily of Longshan battery" appeared on the Internet. A campaign targeting Longshan battery was launched. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, "Six Great Families Take Over Longshan".
Third grade, "Money Is Useless, Hard to Find Raw Materials".
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the chief planner of "Downstream Enterprises Waiting for Rice to Cook", Lv Wei, and her team discussed a few issues in these articles. First, to let all downstream enterprises know that without batteries, it was only a wish and a dream for the factory to resume operations. Secondly, let everyone know that Longshan battery would no longer exist due to the strong entry of the Six Families of the Crown Prince. China's leading battery technology would also disappear. Thirdly, the obstructions that the Waste File had caused to China's economy over the years were displayed one by one. The Longshan battery once again proved that the legendary Waste File had once again seriously hindered the development of China's economy. Fourthly, the banks and individuals who lent money to the Six Families of the Crown Prince will face great risks. It is very likely that they will lose everything.
Liu Yi said, "What about the other party?"
Chen Weizheng said, "My deal with the other party has already ended. What they do has nothing to do with me."
"If the higher-ups ask you to buy back the Longshan battery, what will you do?" Liu Yi asked. "I will shut down my phone starting tomorrow." Chen Weizheng said, "As long as it is delayed past February, I will be ready to buy back the battery. At most, I will give them 5 billion yuan to buy back the battery. If they want to sell it, then sell it. If not, then forget it. I will set up a factory elsewhere. "
"5 billion yuan? You sold it to them for 90 billion yuan! The difference is too big. "Liu Yi said.
"That was then and this is now. If I didn't prepare 5 billion yuan to help them pay the compensation to the other companies, I wouldn't even give them this amount of money." Chen Weizheng said.
"You don't have to give the compensation to the other companies. They are the ones who are anxious, not you." Xiao Song's voice came from behind.
"I don't want the companies in Longjiang to be ruined. Years of hard work will go to waste." Chen Weizheng said, "The biggest advantage of the Six Great Families is that they can act shamelessly. They can ignore the bank, ignore their creditors, ignore their businesses, and even ignore the country. They can act like a dead pig that isn't afraid of boiling water. If nothing unexpected happens, they will use the excuse of being framed and paying school fees to ask the country to pay the bill. "
"The country won't help them pay the bill, right?" Xiao Song asked.
"They will." Chen Weizheng said, "In the eyes of the Six Families, the family is the country, and the country is the family. The citizens are the servants, and the public servants are the masters of the family. The bank is their money bag. Tell me, who has ever thought of returning money to their own money bag? "
"The common people won't agree." Xiao Song said.
"The common people don't care. This few billion yuan seems like a large amount, but when it is distributed to everyone, it will only be a few dozen yuan per person. Even if there is no loss, this few dozen yuan will not fall on the common people." Chen Weizheng said, "The common people in China have lacked the spirit of ownership for thousands of years. In the past, the country belonged to the emperor. Now, the country belongs to the civil servants. There is not a day when it belongs to the common people. "
"Then how can we make up for this few billion yuan hole?" Xiao Song asked.
"Just print more money." Chen Weizheng said, "In the past few decades, the price of an egg rose from three cents to one yuan. This difference of several dozen times is because of the extra money printed. The common people don't know that every time the Six Families do something shameful, it is the common people who pay for them. It is the same this time! So I don't have any psychological burden when I earn the money of the Six Families. I take it by trickery, and they take it by force. "
"That sounds like it, but I don't believe it will continue like this." Xiao Song said, "Longshan battery will not be produced. The downstream companies will not use batteries. Gu Yi City's Longjiang District will bear the brunt. The Red River's good situation will come to an end. Governor Wang Shi will not be able to absolve himself from the blame. Cousin, are you writing on him? "
"Part of it is on him." Chen Weizheng said, "The bigger idea is that there are people crying and shouting to send money to your door. Don't let them down."
The car sped along alone. There were no other cars on the road. One might not even see a single car light in an hour. There were many mountains in the west of Nanliu. Even the highway had many bends and big ups and downs. It was different from the flat plains in the north. Driving on this kind of road, the more the driver drove, the more excited and spirited he would be. Liu Yi connected the satellite communication in the car and used the tablet computer to open the Internet. The article from the fifth day of the new year was already online. The title was "Who will pay for the huge losses?".
Liu Yi briefly introduced the main idea of the article to Chen Weizheng. He said that the starting point and focus of the article was different from Chen Weizheng's. Although they both believed that the final losses would be passed on to the common people, the article explained it in a positive way. It was not like Chen Weizheng's, which was negative and irresponsible.
Xiao Song took the tablet and read it carefully from beginning to end. He said, "The meaning of this article is the same as cousin's. It's just that it's not as straightforward as cousin's. Comparatively speaking, cousin's explanation is much simpler and more thorough."
"What time is it?" Chen Weizheng asked.
"Two o 'clock in the middle of the night." Xiao Song said, "Cousin, are you sleepy? If you are, I can drive for a while. "
Chen Weizheng said that they would reach the end of the highway soon. After getting off the highway, it was a secondary road that was not easy to walk on. There were many twists and turns and it was dangerous. If Xiao Song felt that he could drive, he could give it a try.
At the exit of the highway, there was a service area. The car entered the service area, and Chen Weizheng wanted to get out of the car to smoke. Just as he got out of the car, his phone rang.
It was Ou Jie!
"I was in a meeting until now. I just got back to the office. I'll return to the Red River tomorrow." Ou Jie said, "Are you in Chen Village?"
"I'm in Nanliu right now. I'm on the way to Xiuming Village. I just got off the highway and am preparing to get on the secondary road." Chen Weizheng said.
"Driving through the night?" Ou Jie asked.
"Yeah!" Chen Weizheng said, "It's not a big problem. There are many drivers. Each person drives a short distance and will reach the ancient town. "
"It's best that you're not in Chen Village." Ou Jie said, "The higher-ups want you to be a shareholder of Longshan battery. The six big families are also willing to give you 10% of the shares, but you have to hand over the battery formula."
"The higher-ups held so many days of meetings, and this is the result?" Chen Weizheng said, "It's not like I don't have money. What's the point of asking for that bit of shares? If I want to make batteries, I can invest in it myself and set up a factory. 100% of the profits will be mine. Why should I ask for their 10%? That's interesting. What if I don't accept it? "
"The higher-ups never considered if you don't accept it. The relevant documents will be sent to Chen Village tomorrow. If you don't sign it, then from a moral point of view, you will be responsible for this loss." Ou Jie said.
"Hehehehe, I won't care about moral issues. If that's the case, I will start the battery project in Old Ming State in advance." Chen Weizheng said, "It's just that Wang Hongtao is preparing to move again."
"They won't be allowed to move. All the companies must maintain the status quo." Ou Jie said.
"Maintaining the status quo requires costs. If all the companies in Longjiang District are supported by the state, the costs won't be low." Chen Weizheng said, "But the state doesn't care. It's fine as long as they print more money."
"If you act recklessly and print more money, it'll cause inflation. It'll be even more troublesome." Ou Jie said.
