After Car No.1, 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 and thought for a while, then turned around and smiled. "Secretary, something new happened yesterday afternoon at the entrance of a Big Locust Tree supermarket outside the North Second Ring Road. A man's car was blocked by a woman's car and he wanted the woman to move her car. As a result, a conflict broke out. The woman called a group of helpers and they 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, "Who is that man? What kind of identity can prevent him from 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 were smashing the car. He turned around and handed it to Song Chaoyang.
Song Chaoyang took it and quickly finished watching the video that 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 the Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee Director Gao Guotai. I don't usually drive it and only drive it once or twice on 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 while and asked, "Who are they? Why are they so arrogant and overbearing? How dare they 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 the representative of the Municipal People's Political Consultative Conference, Han Shui."
Song Chaoyang's expression changed slightly. "Han Shui?! What a familiar name. "
Li Rui nodded. "That's right. Do you still remember the forced demolition incident that happened last year? It almost led to a mass gathering. The initiator was Hanshui Real Estate Company. In the end, Han Zhigao, the manager of Han Shui's 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 again and watched it again. He asked casually, "After you exposed your identity, Han Zhifei didn't hit you?"
Li Rui said, "Of course it's not that simple. Han Zhifei is just an arrogant and tyrannical rich second generation. He doesn't know me at all. I asked him and Han Shui to ask about my background, so I didn't get hit. 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 tonight. He said that Han Shui would also attend the dinner, but I didn't agree. I guessed that this was Han Shui's plan. If I had agreed, Han Shui would have come to me and asked me to introduce him to you. I knew what he was up to, so I firmly refused. "
Song Chaoyang sneered. "This 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, wouldn't he have to give me ten million or even tens of millions?"
Li Rui said, "Yes. This person looks very generous on the surface, but he doesn't know that this has exposed his ambition. If he can't get several times the return, he won't make such a huge investment. "
Song Chaoyang shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about this first. What I'm really worried about is that there is evil in him. Violence is everywhere. In the management of the company, for the sake of efficiency and profit, he doesn't hesitate to send people to demolish and beat up people. In daily life, the disciples of his sect will be violent with others. From his nephew's attitude, we can see a part of his nature. The process of such an entrepreneur and company's development is the process of the underworld, violence, and violation of social security and the interests of the people. Although Qingyang needs excellent companies and entrepreneurs, we definitely don't want someone like him. "
The driver, Lao Zhou, heard this and interrupted, "Han Shui used to be the boss of the underworld. Everyone in Qingyang who is a little 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, competing with foreign real estate developers, and often resorting to violence. It's said that he has more than 200 professional thugs under him, and there are even 10 to 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.
Song Chaoyang asked, "Before I was transferred to Qingyang?"
Lao Zhou said, "No, it was after you were transferred that Han Shui started to restrain himself. It was after the demolition incident that caused the death. Until now, he hasn't made any big waves. However, he still continues to do small things that are not in public. For example, Xiao Rui's incident. 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 other people are just there to watch the show. When it's their turn, there will be resentment. "
After rushing to the office, Song Chaoyang ordered Li Rui, "Investigate Han Shui's background and details. Find out how many companies he has under his Construction Group, how many employees he employs, how much annual production value, how much tax he pays, which officials he colludes with in the district and city … 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 bosses, but it's better to have nothing than to have something substandard. "
Li Rui didn't expect that the "news" he unintentionally said 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 the 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 very 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 to the death with him. Why should I let my imagination run wild? It's better to follow Boss's instructions and find the information he needs first. "
The information that Song Chaoyang wanted was mostly easy to find. It was written in the "Group Overview" column of the Construction Engineering Group website. Li Rui found the website of the Construction Engineering Group and knew it at a glance.
The Construction Engineering Group currently had twelve subsidiary companies, ten direct subordinate companies, eight subsidiary companies and more than sixty project projects. The main four direct subordinate companies were: Hanshui Real Estate Company, Hanshui Construction (Construction) Group, Construction Municipal Engineering Company, and Construction Finance Group. The Group had a total assets of six billion yuan. The highest annual production value was three billion yuan. The annual tax payment was four billion yuan. The bank credit rating was AAA and the financing capacity was two billion yuan.
It was worth mentioning that the Construction Engineering Group had more than twelve thousand employees of all levels. More than five thousand of them had a bachelor's degree. In other words, if Song Chaoyang really wanted to deal with Han Shui, it was very likely that more than ten thousand people would lose their jobs. This was enough to cause a huge uproar in any city. It could even lead to 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 also the most important part of Han Shui's background. This wasn't easy to find out. Outsiders probably didn't know much about it. Even if someone knew, it might not be the full details. There was an old saying, "Nothing ventured, nothing gained." It would be best to find the insiders of the Construction Engineering Group or the descendants of Han Shui's family.
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 descendants 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 get close to Han Shui. Through him, he could find out about his 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 he was thinking, his phone rang. He took a look and saw that it was Xie Duzhong calling. He quickly picked up the call.
"Brother, where's your class? 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. "
