After the first car hit the road, Song Chaoyang asked in a relaxed tone, "Xiao Rui, is there anything new in the city recently?"
Li Rui was more certain after hearing this. He was in a good mood, so he thought for a moment and turned back with a smile. "Secretary, yesterday afternoon, something new happened at the entrance of a Big Locust Tree supermarket outside North Second Ring Road. A man's car was blocked by a woman's car, so he asked the woman to move her car. As a result, a conflict broke out. The woman called a group of helpers, and the group smashed the man's car into pieces in front of everyone. After that, they even beat the man up. Fortunately, the man revealed his identity, or else he wouldn't be able to talk about this in front of you today."
Song Chaoyang was listening with great interest. He wanted to ask Li Rui, "What is the man's identity? What kind of identity can avoid being beaten up? " Song Chaoyang was stunned when he heard the last sentence. After a while, he came back to his senses and laughed in disbelief. "No way, Xiao Rui. That man is you?"
Li Rui took out his phone and found the short video he took yesterday when Han Zhifei and the others smashed the car. He turned back and handed it to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang took it and quickly finished watching the video, which was less than 20 seconds long.
Li Rui explained, "You should have seen that BMW X5 before. It was given to me and Qingman by Gao Zixuan, the daughter of Gao Guotai, the chairman of the Standing Committee of the Provincial People's Congress. I don't usually drive it. I only drive it once or twice on the weekends for personal matters."
Song Chaoyang's face was gloomy after watching the video. Li Rui noticed his expression and secretly regretted it. Why did he tell him about this as if it was something new?
Song Chaoyang thought for a moment and asked, "Who are they? Why are they so arrogant and overbearing? They dare to smash a private car on the street in broad daylight? "
Li Rui said, "They are called Han Zhifei. This Han Zhifei is not a big deal, but his second uncle is a well-known figure in the city. He is the richest man in the city, the CEO of the Construction Group, and a representative of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, Han Shui."
Song Chaoyang's face changed slightly. "Han Shui?! What a familiar name. "
Li Rui nodded. "Yes. Do you remember the forced demolition case in the southern district last year? It almost led to a mass gathering. The initiator was Hanshui Real Estate. In the end, Han Zhigao, the manager of Han Shui Real Estate Company, and Yan Bo, the deputy manager, took the blame for the case. Han Zhigao is Han Shui's nephew, and Han Zhifei in the video is also Han Shui's nephew. "
Song Chaoyang was silent. After a while, he opened the video and watched it again. He asked casually, "After you exposed your identity, Han Zhifei didn't beat you?"
Li Rui said, "Of course it's not that simple. Han Zhifei is just an arrogant rich second generation. He doesn't know me at all. I asked him and Han Shui to ask about my background. That's why I was spared. After the incident, Han Zhifei came to me to apologize. He offered to repair my car and give me an extra one million yuan as compensation. He also invited me to dinner. He said that Han Shui would also attend the dinner. But I didn't agree because I guessed that this was all part of Han Shui's plan. If I had agreed, Han Shui would have taken advantage of this and begged me to introduce him to you. I knew what he was up to, so I firmly refused. "
Song Chaoyang sneered and said, "Han Shui is really generous. He offered one million yuan to you, the First Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee. If he wanted to get to know me, the Municipal Party Committee Secretary, he would have to give me ten million or even tens of millions."
Li Rui said, "Yes. He looks very generous on the surface, but he doesn't know that he exposed his ambition. He wouldn't have made such a huge investment if he couldn't get several times the return. "
Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this first. What worries me is that he is evil. He is violent everywhere. In the management of the company, he doesn't hesitate to send people to demolish and beat up people in order to achieve efficiency and profit. He even kills people who refuse to cooperate. In daily life, the disciples of his sect will be violent with others. From his nephew's attitude, you can see his nature. The process of such an entrepreneur and company's development is the process of the underworld, violence, and violation of public order and the interests of the people. Although Qingyang needs excellent companies and entrepreneurs, we definitely don't want people like him. "
The driver, Lao Zhou, heard this and interrupted, "Han Shui was the boss of the underworld long ago. Everyone in Qingyang who is slightly older knows that. Later on, he made a fortune in construction and real estate and slowly became an entrepreneur. However, he still uses the same old methods to do things, such as demolishing houses and competing with foreign real estate developers. He often resorts to violence. It is said that he has more than 200 professional thugs under him, including 20 assassins. I don't know if this is true or not. Last year, the Construction Group had a fight with a real estate company from Anhui that wanted to develop in Qingyang, and he directly transferred more than 500 thugs."
Song Chaoyang asked, "Before I transferred to Qingyang?"
Lao Zhou said, "No, after you transferred here, Han Shui began to restrain himself. It was after the demolition incident that caused the death. Until now, he hasn't made any big waves. However, he should continue to do small things that are not presentable. For example, Xiao Rui's case. If he didn't mention it, you wouldn't know. At most, it would spread among the people, and it would disappear after a few days."
Song Chaoyang frowned and asked, "Then, is there a lot of resentment towards Han Shui among the people?"
Lao Zhou heard this question and didn't answer for the time being. He first turned left at the crossroad in front of him and turned into Red Flag Road. Only then did he reply, "In today's society, the people only care about themselves. Who cares about others? Han Shui has harmed so many companies and people. Only those who have been harmed by him hate him. The rest of the people are just watching the show. When it comes to their turn, they will be resentful. "
After rushing to the office, Song Chaoyang ordered Li Rui, "Investigate Han Shui's background and details. Find out how many companies are under his Construction Group, how many employees are employed in total, how much is the annual output, how much is the tax paid, which officials in the district and city are colluding with … The more detailed the investigation, the better."
Li Rui asked, "Boss, you're not going to do anything to him, are you?"
Song Chaoyang said, "Whether or not I will do anything to him depends on his performance. The city does lack big business owners, but it's better to have nothing than to have something substandard. "
Li Rui didn't expect that his unintentional "news" would cause his boss, Song Chaoyang, to be directly interested in Han Shui. He didn't have the intention to ask him to take revenge on Han Shui's family, but it was too late for regrets now. He could only go along with his wishes. Speaking of which, Han Shui was definitely not a good person. It was reasonable for Song Chaoyang to want to deal with him because of this. However, the problem was that Han Shui was like a giant tree rooted in the land of Qingyang. His roots were deep and his leaves were lush. He had a huge influence and was very difficult to deal with. Even if Song Chaoyang, the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee, wanted to cut him down personally, it wouldn't be an easy task. Moreover, once this tree was cut down, it was likely to cause a strong earthquake.
"Forget it. Boss didn't say that we have to deal with Han Shui. Even if we want to deal with him, we don't have to fight him to the death. Why should I let my imagination run wild? I'll just follow Boss's instructions and find the information he needs first. "
Most of the information that Song Chaoyang wanted was easy to find. It was written in the "Group Overview" column of the Construction Engineering Group's website. Li Rui went online and found the site.
The CCG Group currently has 12 subsidiary companies, 10 direct companies, 8 subsidiary companies, and more than 60 project projects. The four main direct companies are: Hanshui Real Estate Company, Hanshui Construction (Construction) Group, CCG Municipal Engineering Company, and CCG Financial Group. The group had a total assets of six billion yuan, with the highest annual production value of three billion yuan and annual taxes of four hundred million yuan. The bank credit rating was AAA, and the financing capacity reached two billion yuan.
It was worth mentioning that the Construction Engineering Group had more than twelve thousand employees of all levels, and more than five thousand of them had a bachelor's degree or above. In other words, if Song Chaoyang really wanted to deal with Han Shui, it was likely that more than ten thousand people would lose their jobs. In any city, this was enough to cause an uproar, or even a political disaster. Because of this, Song Chaoyang was very cautious. He only asked Li Rui to investigate Han Shui's background, and had no other plans for the time being.
Li Rui printed out the information and prepared to show it to Song Chaoyang when he wasn't busy. However, the mission wasn't considered completed yet. Song Chaoyang still wanted to know who were the government officials that were in cahoots with Han Shui. This was the most important part of Han Shui's background. This wasn't easy to find out. Outsiders probably didn't know much about it, and even if they did, it might not be the full details. There was an old saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." It was best to find an insider of the Construction Engineering Group or a descendant of Han Shui's family to understand in detail.
Li Rui tried to recall if any of his friends were from the Construction Engineering Group. In the end, he got the answer in less than three seconds. Not a single one! As for the descendant of Han Shui's family, he knew Han Zhifei. However, they had just met, and there was still some animosity between them. How could he ask him directly? Moreover, he might not know. Ah … right, he could be a spy and stay by Han Shui's side. Through him, he could find out about Han Shui's connections in the government. Since Han Shui wanted to befriend him, he could take the opportunity to befriend him and gain his trust. In the end, he would definitely succeed …
Just as his thoughts were running wild, his phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was a call from Xie Duzhong. He quickly picked it up.
"Brother, are you at work? Give Teacher Sun a call and ask her to send Sister Zhao to pick us up at the entrance of the Municipal Party Committee. My sister and I won't be coming back today. We will continue to treat her. "
