After finally sending the reporters aside and asking the accompanying police officers to control the situation, Liu Zhaocheng, accompanied by two Public Security Bureau cadres, walked into the office building of Chaosai Company. When he came to Wang Peichao's office, he saw that
Liu Zhaocheng's face immediately sank.
"What are you doing! You are committing a crime, you know!" Liu Zhaocheng shouted loudly.
It turned out that after hearing that creditors had visited their home, Wang Peichao, Guan Liansheng and others immediately wanted to take people back to help. The small bosses who were collecting debts in front of them were not willing to let them go, so they took them away half politely and half forcefully.
He was stopped. The student Guan Lian had always had a bad temper and was thinking about things at home. He started fighting with the bosses when he had a disagreement. The other party was not a vegetarian either. Seeing the relationship, he took action and fought back with fists.
In this fight, there were no rules. Wang Peichao and He Shouxiang were also involved in the fighting group. They were helplessly outnumbered and were soon beaten to a bruised face. Seeing that their faces were broken, the little bosses stopped pretending.
He was so polite that he *correctly* sealed the door and unplugged the phone line, which was equivalent to putting Wang Peichao and others under house arrest in the office.
Liu Zhaocheng was completely unprepared for the situation to develop to this extent. When he saw Wang Peichao and others with disheveled clothes and colorful faces, while the small bosses next to him all had fierce faces, similar to bandits, how could he not be angry.
"Mayor Liu..."
Everyone knew Liu Zhaocheng, although due to the level of the company they worked in, they were not able to talk to Liu Zhaocheng. Seeing the mayor coming in person with the police around him, everyone felt a little timid.
"What's going on? Are you trying to rob?" Liu Zhaocheng scolded everyone with a straight face.
"Mayor Liu, this is a misunderstanding." A small boss named Yu Jianming stepped forward and replied, "We just came to Mr. Wang and others to negotiate the payment, but..."
"Chaosai Company has owed us money for a long time. Our factory's funds can no longer be turned around, so we hope Mr. Wang can pay us the money earlier." Another small boss named Wu Chao also said
Then explained.
"It's okay to ask for payment, but how can you beat people? And you've even locked up Mr. Wang and Mr. Guan here. This is illegal detention, do you understand?" said Ding Xingzheng, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau who came up with Liu Zhaocheng.
Yu Jianming said: "Bureau Ding, you misunderstood. We have no intention of detaining Mr. Wang and the others. However, we heard some rumors that Chaosai Company may... We are worried that Mr. Wang and the others will not come back after they leave, so...
…”
He omitted a lot of content from his words, but both Liu Zhaocheng and Ding Xingzheng could understand it. In Changgu City, it had happened before that business owners who were in debt suddenly disappeared from the world. Yu Jianming and the others were worried that Wang Peichao and others would escape.
, this idea is not surprising. In fact, Wang Peichao and others did want to save the money and run away, but they did not expect that the debt collectors would come so quickly and block them in the company.
"Rumors are rumors after all. You can't take drastic actions just because of a few rumors." Liu Zhaocheng said, "Now you all go outside and wait. I will talk to Mr. Wang and ask about the specific situation."
Everyone looked at each other, lowered their heads, and quietly exited Wang Peichao's office. However, they did not go far, but stayed outside the office door. At this time, no one of them would easily believe it.
, they can rest assured only if they see with their own eyes that Wang Peichao and others are still there.
Ding Xingzheng and another Public Security Bureau officer also exited the room and closed the door. They knew that Liu Zhaocheng would definitely ask Wang Peichao some important questions, which were not suitable for more people to listen.
Watching everyone leave, Liu Zhaocheng sat down on Wang Peichao's big swivel chair, then took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, Wang Peichao quickly picked up a lighter from the table and lit it for Liu Zhaocheng.
He lit up the cigarette. Liu Zhaocheng nodded slightly. He took a puff of the cigarette and then said, "Tell me what the situation is."
Liu Zhaocheng's pretentiousness was not to show off, but to express an attitude to Wang Peichao, that is, the city government has not given up on Chaosai Company so far. Before everything is clear, Liu Zhaocheng cannot give Wang Peichao a kind of overwhelming recommendation.
After all, Chaosai Company has made a lot of financial and tax contributions to Changgu City in the past two years.
Wang Peichao put out the lighter, returned to where he was sitting, and gave Liu Zhaocheng a brief introduction to the cause and effect of the incident. After such a long delay, everything that should have happened at home has probably already happened, so he didn't.
He wanted to rush back to save the situation. He knew that even if Liu Zhaocheng came, if he failed to explain the matter clearly, Liu Zhaocheng would not let him get away.
"Kusela is a big company, and it's a Japanese company. How could they come to you to introduce technology?"
After listening to Wang Peichao's story, Liu Zhaocheng asked strangely.
The muscles on Wang Peichao's face twitched. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Mayor Liu, I won't hide this from you. Our technology... is actually obtained from Qu Tao..."
"Get it?" Liu Zhaocheng's eyes widened, "You mean..."
"Yes." Wang Peichao nodded, confirming Liu Zhaocheng's unspoken doubts.
The statement that Chaosai Company stole Qu Tao technology is no secret in Changgu, but Chaosai Company has never admitted it. As the deputy mayor in charge of industry, Liu Zhaocheng has no idea about Chaosai Company’s technical strength and Qu Tao technology.
Tao knew more about his strength than others, so he naturally believed in such rumors more. However, since Qu Tao failed to hold Chaosai Company accountable through legal channels, Liu Zhaocheng would certainly not take the initiative to accuse Chaosai Company. As a leader,
Government officials in Gucheng City are happy to see companies within their jurisdiction take advantage of other places.
But this time the situation is different. Chaosai Company stole technology from Qutao and provided it to Kusela. However, there were problems with the technology itself, which directly led to huge losses for Chaosai Company and Kusela. In
At this time, of course Liu Zhaocheng had to ask the matter clearly in order to decide his next move.
"In other words, Qu Tao deliberately created a fake technology to fool you, and it also affected Kusela?" Liu Zhaocheng asked.
Wang Peichao said: "Although I have no direct evidence, I can basically confirm that this is the case. Qin Hai has always been very cunning, and the Japanese and I have been fooled by him."
"Qin Hai?" Liu Zhaocheng was stunned for a moment and then realized what he was doing. Thinking of the threat Qin Hai issued a year ago, Liu Zhaocheng couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Chairman Qin really does what he says. His counterattack is really powerful." Liu Zhaocheng sighed.
"Isn't it?" Wang Peichao said dejectedly, "I didn't expect that he would do it so brilliantly and so skillfully that even the Japanese would fall into his trap."
"But, you can't catch him in this matter. Even if you know that he has set a trap, can you tell such a thing?" Liu Zhaocheng asked.
"How do you say it?" Wang Peichao asked with a wry smile, "I only dare to tell you, Mayor Liu, about this matter. I don't dare to say it to an outsider. We go to Qutao to work on the recipe. If we say it publicly
, that means going to jail.”
I have to pretend not to hear... Liu Zhaocheng murmured in his heart that as the deputy mayor, it would be a mistake if he knew that Chaosai Company had stolen the technical secrets of other companies but did not report it. He decided to avoid this topic.
, directly understand Wang Peichao’s next plan.
"Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no point in blaming others. Mr. Wang, what are you going to do next?" Liu Zhaocheng asked.
"I hope the city can support us," Wang Peichao said.
"Well... of course the city will try its best to help you overcome the difficulties." Liu Zhaocheng said sincerely. In fact, after hearing about the cause of the matter, he had already decided to abandon Chaosai Company, a company that relied on plagiarized technology.
, and was in trouble due to the failure of plagiarized technology, how could the government provide support again? Qin Hai had already promised to clean up Chaosai Company, and it has indeed been done now. At this time, if the Changgu City Government still steps in
To help Chaosai Company would be to directly become an enemy of Qin Hai. Thinking of Qin Hai's terrifying destructive power, Liu Zhaocheng was certainly not willing to get into such trouble.
"However, the city's help is only an external cause, and your company's self-help is an internal cause. When solving problems, external factors can only play a limited role. The key is to rely on internal causes, don't you think?" Liu Zhaocheng said in a standard tone.
Official accent.
If Wang Peichao couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Zhaocheng's words, he would have worked as an entrepreneur for so many years. He sighed and said: "Mayor Liu, our company can be what it is today mainly because of the cooperation with Kucera Company."
Relationship. Now in order to escape from the quality incident, Kucera must use us as a backing, so he filed a lawsuit against us for 2.5 billion US dollars. If we want to count on Kucera, we will definitely not be able to count on it. If the city
If we don't reach out, our company will have no choice but to go bankrupt."
"The power of the city is also limited." Liu Zhaocheng said, "Mr. Wang, please give me an accurate answer. If Chaosai Company really... I mean if. If Chaosai Company goes bankrupt, can you bring the outside world to the rescue?"
Will all those people’s payments be repaid?”
Liu Zhaocheng's words were very heartbreaking. What he meant was that he no longer planned to save Chaosai Company. If Chaosai Company went bankrupt, it would go bankrupt. It was none of his business. His request was just that Chaosai Company would go bankrupt.
In the past, I could pay off the debts of those outside and avoid causing trouble to the city.
The world is in danger, Wang Peichao felt it all at this moment. (To be continued...)
ps: In the past three months, I have worked on a project, compiled a professional book, and had various other chores. The update was very poor, and I blame myself. I stayed up until almost two o'clock last night to submit the draft of the professional book.
It may be modified later, but the pressure may not be so great. In the next few months, Orange plans to speed up the update... Well, do you believe it?
