Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 801 A Secret Visit to Secretary Qi 2

There are not many shops on the whole street, scattered on both sides of the street, and there are not many pedestrians. The reason is very simple: the street is too wide, there are too many cars, and it is quite dusty.

Qi Tongwei knew as soon as he saw this that these stores were basically just shells. They had almost no customers all day long, and the decoration was as dark as possible. The normal principle of running a store to make money is to open the door and do business openly. The first thing to do is to tell the customers what the store does, and the lights must be on brightly. Making the store dark and gloomy is not in line with the principles of doing business.

Such shops have no intention of making money from passers-by. The money they make is clearly outside the box. There is no need to say more about antique shops accepting bribes. Comrades have already studied it very clearly.

Like the teahouse next door, their way of making money is actually similar. They sell some not-so-valuable tea cakes, boxed tea leaves, and the recently popular small cans of tea.

In fact, the market price of these teas is not high. They are just ordinary teas with a cost price of about 100 yuan per pound. They are just packaged beautifully to make them look very high-end.

Then he marked a high price. How much was appropriate? Qi Tongwei felt that ten thousand yuan or several thousand yuan per two taels were appropriate, because in his previous life he had asked Gao Xiaoqin to open such a teahouse to collect bribes from his subordinate police officers. For example, if the director of the Jingzhou Public Security Bureau, such as Du, wanted to be transferred to the provincial department as deputy director of the office, the market price set by Qi Tongwei at that time would be around one million yuan.

In those days, Qi Tongwei would instruct his subordinates like Dudu to spend money in the teahouse opened by Gao Xiaoqin. Qi Tongwei didn't care how Dudu spent his money. As long as he took people to the teahouse for a drink of tea, and then went home with some tea leaves that cost 100 yuan per catty when purchased and priced at 10,000 yuan per tael, then the business was almost done.

In a few days, the transfer order will come down.

Who said this was bribery? It was just that Dudu went to drink tea with a few businessman friends. Buying tea is also a market behavior. From beginning to end, Qi Tongwei never showed up, and had not even met Dudu or anyone else. Dudu had to communicate his needs to Gao Xiaoqin.

At the end of the year, Qi Tongwei calculated the accounts and found that the output value of the high-end teahouse opened by Gao Xiaoqin was as high as 70 to 80 million yuan, and they still paid taxes normally. No one could tell the truth, but if you investigate in depth, you will find that all the customers are good friends of police officers at all levels.

It was by opening a teahouse that Gao Xiaoqin accumulated her first pot of gold. Then Qi Tongwei asked Ding Yizhen, then mayor of Guangming District of Jingzhou City, to acquire a piece of industrial land, which cost about 200,000 yuan per acre. Afterwards, the industrial land was converted into commercial and residential land, and a landscape manor and some real estate projects were built.

If commercial land is acquired directly, the price will be more than two million per acre. This is the secret of Qi Tongwei's wealth in his previous life. In fact, there is no technical content at all. It is just based on power exchange.

The reason why Qi Tongwei later gave up such a profitable business was actually because there were too many people involved. Many people would privately spread the news that Qi Tongwei took money, and when too many people knew about it, it was natural that something bad would happen.

So Qi Tongwei transformed and established Shanshui Group. After attracting Zhao Ruilong as a shareholder, they made money from large real estate projects in Jingzhou, and their security was greatly improved.

So, now, Qi Tongwei looked at the teahouse with familiar decoration style and even felt a little nostalgic. Standing on the street for a long time, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but think of the days when he struggled with Gao Xiaoqin in his previous life. It was because he had been the most arrogant corrupt official that Qi Tongwei knew that he was the most suitable candidate for the deputy secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Let me let you in on a secret: some of Qi Tongwei’s methods of making money and fighting against organizations were learned from the previous Century Committee’s bulletins and documentaries such as Zero Tolerance. This is why Qi Tongwei was so deeply impressed by Zero Tolerance.

However, Qi Tongwei's target today is not these teahouses and tobacco shops, but an antique shop in the middle. In the previous life's zero-tolerance documentary, there was a silhouette of this shop, and the owner behind the scenes was introduced in detail.

It is Liang Mancang, the current member of the Party Leadership Group of the National Development and Reform Commission, Secretary of the Party Committee of the Grain Bureau, and Director of the Bureau.

Qi Tongwei had thought back then that maybe the leaders above were a bit superstitious, otherwise why did they choose Liang Mancang as the director of the Grain Bureau? However, selecting cadres based solely on their names was a major mistake by the leaders of the NDRC, because this guy was a big rat who ate up the granaries of several provinces clean.

Qi Tongwei was strolling around the street in a swaggering manner. The surveillance team from the Third Supervisory Office was sitting across the street. The cadres in the car all suspected that they had seen it wrong, and the two cadres looked at each other.

"Lao Niu, am I dazzled? Is that person shopping on the street our deputy secretary in charge, Deputy Secretary Qi Tongwei?"

The cow scout grabbed the binoculars and looked over.

“Old Ma, it seems you are not mistaken, it is really Deputy Secretary Qi.

Did Deputy Secretary Qi also go to these antique shops to bribe people?"

The horse scout at the side slapped him and snatched the telescope.

"You've lost your mind. Deputy Secretary Qi is willing to bribe others?

He is here to investigate corrupt elements, and Deputy Secretary Qi is here to check on our progress.

Report to the team leader and the director immediately."

Qi Tongwei didn't expect, or he didn't care at all, that his incognito visit scared the cadres of the Third Supervisory Office. Qi Tongwei's purpose was actually very simple, which was to kill time.

If a leader has been in the position for a long time, he will develop a problem, that is, he will not care about other people's thoughts, especially those of his subordinates.

Qi Tongwei staggered into the antique shop with his hands behind his back. There was a young woman sitting inside, playing with her mobile phone. She didn't even raise her head and was too lazy to even greet him.

Anyway, their business does not rely on marketing, and passers-by cannot do business with them, so it doesn’t make much sense whether you greet them or not.

Qi Tongwei also looked at the antiques in the store with great interest, picking up a stone from time to time to observe it, as the light inside was not good.

"Hey, don't touch it if you don't want to buy it."

Qi Tongwei curled his lips and asked, how do you do business?

"Can't you take a look?"

Qi Tongwei had better put the stone down obediently. What if it hit the ground and people demanded compensation of hundreds of thousands of dollars?

At this time, a person came in from outside the door. Qi Tongwei subconsciously looked outside. When the door opened, it brought in the light from outside.

If Zhou Cheng was there, he would definitely recognize that this was the business owner who wanted to bribe him with a house and two million in cash a few days ago. He came here just to bribe him with the two million in cash.
