Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 989 Selling to the Imperial Family

LI made a few more cups of tea and extended his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"Don't worry about it, but his appointment will have an impact on us. He is also a member of the leadership group for "housing for living, not for speculation", and his attitude towards housing prices is obvious.

I will adjust my strategy slightly. This time, I will use a certain company as the main body to drive up the registered prices of all the properties under their control in one go."

"We have basically taken control of the company, spending less than 50 billion yuan. The normal operation is a mess, but it is big enough.

If there are enough real estate projects, we can set up several shell companies to nest them layer by layer to isolate risks and debts. If the housing prices go up, we can just return them to the parent company.”

Zhou Xiaobai naturally knew what this operation meant and helped to explain it.

"This operation is to let this certain company take the lead and start speculation from second- and third-tier cities. The housing prices in Jiangzhou have recently been stuck at a certain point. Several major banks have also received warnings from above. If there is a disorderly outflow of funds into the housing market, they will be severely punished.

According to the original plan, it may take several months to achieve the goal. We still need to start from other cities. As the new main force, banks and credit unions in various cities may take a longer time to see results.

But it is safer, even if something goes wrong, it will be Heng Company that bears the blame. Their business condition was already very bad, and without our investment, I am afraid they would not last more than two years.

Now with our capital injection and subsequent help, as long as housing prices rise significantly, they can also make some money, at least to keep the company running."

Several people nodded. The situation changed too quickly. Fortunately, they did not have a heavy position in Jiangzhou, but were directly blocked.

Furthermore, the 200 billion yuan of funds was not a huge amount of money for this group of people, so they were relieved to leave it to LI to manage.

They each have to deal with the transformation of the companies they manage in the changing situation. Not only Lin Manjiang has to withdraw from the ecological chain of Zhongfu Group and several other groups.

Others, one by one, have to slowly withdraw from large state-owned enterprises, and the people they supported are now facing dismissal, transfer, and even anti-corruption liquidation.

Everyone has a lot of trouble behind them.

The crowd continued to chat about the domestic and international economic situation for a while, and then dispersed.

Son-in-law Han Chao arrived very quickly. LI couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Han Chao, who had changed a lot.

“This man has to be the boss, kid, look at yourself.

The whole person's aura is different.

In the past, I was a submissive deputy who had to consider other people's opinions on everything I did, and I would unconsciously bend down and smile to greet people.

I feel much better now.”

Han Chao was also stunned after hearing what his father-in-law said. He also unconsciously imitated the senior leader of the unit and his father-in-law.

They always seem to be full of confidence, with either a serious expression or a mask-like smile on their faces.

Never care about other people's feelings, or they are more selfish.

Han Chao now has several bodyguards and secretaries following him. He moves briskly and always travels in a Rolls-Royce. He goes from Jingzhou to Jinchuan, and then to Hong Kong and other cities, until he returns to Beijing.

Han Chao is now accustomed to traveling by special plane. You know, when he is at work, he has to use his business card to calculate whether the travel expenses and food and accommodation expenses exceed the budget.

No wonder men are unwilling to let go of power until they die; this feeling is indeed more intoxicating than any drug.

"Dad, you're laughing at me."

Han Chao naturally had to remain humble. All his power now came from his father-in-law's disappointment with his brothers-in-law. Otherwise, how could he, a person of an outsider, be in power?

LI patted Han Chao on the shoulder and walked back. Han Chao followed with small steps and gently supported his father-in-law.

“I thought about what you said last time and it made sense.

If our family wants to regain recognition from above, we still have to do this."

Han Chao was pleasantly surprised that his proposal was approved by his father-in-law, which also meant that his voice was strengthened again.

“Dad, it’s the same as what we discussed last time.

What leaders hate is not capitalists, but privileged capitalists.

Like our family and those uncles and aunts' families, to put it bluntly, they all accumulated their first pot of gold by selling approval documents and relying on power.

This is nothing. The old people said that someone needs to get rich first. At that time, the rules had not yet been fully formulated, and everything was done by trial and error.

But thirty years have passed, everything has changed, and the rules have begun to be improved.

The higher-ups have slowly paid their due tuition fees over time, and now they hope that this set of rules will be effective.

And our families, relying on privileged business, have become the most obvious group of people who break the rules."

LI sat at the main seat at the tea table, thinking, and suddenly patted Han Chao on the shoulder.

“Come here, you take the main seat today and make me some tea.

Some things are really like this, just because you are in this mountain.

People like us have become accustomed to our status as the second generation, accustomed to being superior to others, and feel that the world was conquered by our elders.

We should have more privileges.

But looking at history, such as the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, the Huaiyang nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and the aristocratic families of the Tang Dynasty.

In the end, they all became parasites of the country.

Alas, in the eyes of Brother Xue and his people, we have really become parasites of the country."

Han Chao was pulled to the main seat for making tea. Although he was a little nervous, he imitated his father-in-law's usual way and slowly started to make tea.

LI took a sip of the tea made by his son-in-law. It didn’t have any fancy procedures, but it tasted very authentic.

"Well, let's put it this way. This time, I'll give you the fourteen group companies, and you can do whatever you want.

If there are business owners who break the rules and you investigate and discover illegal facts, you should hand them over to the public security organs or the anti-corruption bureau.

I will greet the department heads in advance, as these people are usually protected by our family.

A huge network of interests has been formed, and handing over one person represents a group of corrupt officials.

I believe the leaders above are willing to accept this gift."

Then LI pointed at Han Chao.

“But the prerequisite is that your plan must be perfect and successful, and that a smooth transition must be ensured for each enterprise.

Of course, I will also talk to local leaders and ask for their help and assistance.

These companies are all large-scale enterprises in their respective regions and are the cornerstone of stabilizing the local economy.”

Han Chao sat up straight, feeling that his father-in-law's trust in him was beyond ordinary.

"Dad, I have already made a plan. I will give the detailed plan to your secretary later.

Then should I start from Jingzhou?"

Since LI had made up his mind, he would not hesitate any longer. He had already talked to Lin Manjiang a few days ago and tricked him into thinking that he would arrange for him to be the deputy secretary of Handong Province.
