In the general manager's office of Daqin Group, Qin Hai hung up the phone and asked Song Hongxuan with a somewhat sarcastic smile: "Do you know what kind of call I just received?"
Song Hongxuan pursed his lips and smiled and said: "How do I know? Mr. Qin has friends all over the world and Mr. Qin's business is diverse. How could I guess what phone call you answered?"
"President Song is criticizing me for not doing my job properly," Qin Hai said with a smile. When he and Song Hongxuan called each other "President", it showed that they were in a relaxed mood and could joke around.
"No, no," Song Hongxuan said, "I think the things Mr. Qin has done recently are all serious matters, and they are major matters related to the national economy and people's livelihood."
"That's good. With Mr. Song's words, I feel at ease." Qin Hai said, joking aside, he shook his phone and said, "Hong Xuan, let me tell you, the person I just answered was an anonymous caller.
Telephone."
"Anonymous call?" Song Hongxuan put away his smile and looked at Qin Hai: "What, what happened?"
Qin Hai nodded and said: "I looked at the number and it was a call from Hongyuan. The person on the phone deliberately tried to cover up his voice, so maybe it was someone I knew. He told me that Pujiang Xinzhen
Sun Zhenjiang, the general manager of the trading company, arrived at Hongyuan and had dinner with Pang Yongfu and Xiang Pengda from Honggang Steel."
"Sun Zhenjiang?" Song Hongxuan frowned.
During the steel war back then, Sun Zhenjiang was in the open and the Daqin Group was in the dark. Sun Zhenjiang didn't know that Qin Hai and others were plotting against him behind his back, but Qin Hai, Song Hongxuan and others knew the situation of this dear man very well. Sun Zhenjiang acted in the aftermath.
He only suffered economic losses. More than half of the billions of funds he had accumulated through many years of business fell into the pockets of the Daqin Group, but his personal freedom was not affected. After that, he founded Xinzhen Trading Company, specializing in the business.
Daqin Group's intelligence department is aware of the business of importing mineral resources from overseas, and has reported it to Qin Hai and Song Hongxuan.
Hearing the name Sun Zhenjiang, Song Hongxuan instinctively felt some problems. He asked Qin Hai: "Did the person who broke the news say that they talked about something together?"
"Said." Qin Hai nodded. "He told me that Sun Zhenjiang planned to import a batch of Vale ores for Red Steel through some tortuous channels. Pang Yongfu did not agree directly and asked Xiang Pengda to handle the matter.
"
"These scum!" Song Hongxuan cursed in a low voice. He knew what kind of negative impact Sun Zhenjiang's behavior would have on iron ore negotiations. Once Vale realizes that Chinese companies are not monolithic, their attitude will change
Becoming more tough will be extremely detrimental to the iron ore negotiations. The behavior of Pang Yongfu, Xiang Pengda and others is typical of abandoning public affairs for private purposes, and is for the interests of a small group regardless of the overall interests of the country.
"This is not the most important thing." Qin Hai said with a sneer. "The anonymous whistleblower also reminded me specifically that Sun Zhenjiang asked a lot of questions about the iron ore reserves of domestic steel companies, and Pang Yongfu knew everything.
"
"You mean..." Song Hongxuan's face completely sank. With his intelligence and industry experience, if he didn't understand what this meant, he would not be the general manager of this group.
"The demons are dancing wildly." Qin Hai said calmly, "We are going to compete with Vale in a battle of wits and courage, and they are not idle either. This is obviously trying to get at our bottom."
"This situation is very important. Should we report it to the Economic and Trade Committee immediately?" Song Hongxuan reminded.
Qin Haidao: "It must be reported to the Economic and Trade Committee. I guess we have to ask Director Xiao to intervene. Businessmen like Sun Zhenjiang who cooperate with foreign businessmen inside and outside must not be let go."
"This Pang Yongfu is no longer a novice, can he not see Sun Zhenjiang's intentions?" Song Hongxuan said.
"Then do you think he is really confused, or is he pretending to be confused?" Qin Hai asked.
Song Hongxuan said: "I can confirm that he intentionally disclosed this information to Sun Zhenjiang, and his purpose was to hope that Sun Zhenjiang could convey these information to Vale."
"Yes!" Qin Hai sighed bitterly, "Iron ore negotiations are a matter for the entire Chinese steel industry, but why are there so many people who just want to see the excitement and wish that we failed in the negotiations?
. On weekdays, these people fight price wars in the domestic market, compete for investments and projects in the Economic and Trade Commission, and compete with each other to be tougher. When it comes to dealing with foreign businessmen, they kneel down before they can do anything.
It’s so damn infuriating!”
"Are you also going to report Pang Yongfu's situation to the Economic and Trade Commission?" Song Hongxuan asked.
Qin Hai thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It doesn't make much sense to tell the Economic and Trade Committee about this matter. Hong Steel is an enterprise in Hongyuan Province. Pang Yongfu is managed by Hongyuan Province. Even if the Economic and Trade Committee knows what is going on, it will not matter.
There's nothing we can do against him."
"Then forget it?" Song Hongxuan asked with a smile. He could clearly see that Qin Hai's face was full of anger, and he also knew that Qin Hai was really angry. Pang Yongfu's move damaged the national interests in public and privately.
He was setting a trap for Qin Hai and planned to see Qin Hai's jokes. Being bullied to this extent and not taking action was not Qin Hai's style. Song Hongxuan was smiling and talking at this time, which was clearly a provocation to Qin Hai.
"This matter cannot be settled like this." Qin Hai said coldly, "I will go to the capital immediately and file a complaint."
That afternoon, Qin Hai left Anhe and flew to the capital. After getting off the plane, he took a car from the Beijing Office to a secluded teahouse. He walked into a private room, where Xiao Weihao was waiting for him.
"What happened that made you, Chairman Qin, rush to the capital in such a hurry?" Xiao Weihao asked Qin Hai to sit down, poured him a cup of tea himself, and then asked with a smile. Qin Hai before setting off from Anhe
I called Xiao Weihao. This was the meeting place they had agreed to meet.
"There is something indeed. I haven't communicated with the Economic and Trade Committee yet. I want to hear your opinion first, Director Xiao." Qin Hai said.
Xiao Weihao nodded: "You tell."
"It's like this. I received an anonymous call in Anhe today..." Qin Hai recounted to Xiao Weihao everything that the whistleblower said on the phone, and then looked at Xiao Weihao quietly, waiting for his reaction.
.
"That's it?" Xiao Weihao asked in an understatement, as if what Qin Hai was talking about was an insignificant matter.
"That's it." Qin Hai responded. When dealing with Xiao Weihao, he often encounters this kind of result. You tell him as a big deal, but he doesn't seem to care. If you change it to someone who is not familiar with Xiao Weihao,
A person would be choked to the point of vomiting blood.
"We understand this situation." Xiao Weihao replied.
"Are you saying you know about Sun Zhenjiang's situation, or do you know about Pang Yongfu's situation?" Qin Hai asked angrily.
"Of course it's Sun Zhenjiang..." Xiao Weihao finally showed a bit of embarrassment. He also knew that his behavior just now was too disrespectful to Qin Hai. Anyway, he was here to report the situation to him. This matter had nothing to do with it.
Qin Hai is indeed closely related, but his relationship with Xiao Weihao is even greater, because his job is to be responsible for national security, and Sun Zhenjiang's behavior can be classified as commercial espionage.
"Sun Zhenjiang has become Vale's domestic agent a few years ago. Under the guise of ore imports, he is responsible for collecting domestic ore-related economic intelligence and providing it to Vale and other overseas mining companies. As a
The basis for the other party to formulate policies towards China. He himself did not obtain direct benefits from providing intelligence, but various mining companies allowed him to gain rewards by providing him with more favorable import conditions." Xiao Weihao introduced to Qin Hai.
"Since you already know, why are you letting him get away with it?" Qin Hai asked dissatisfied.
Xiao Weihao hesitated and said: "So far, according to the information we have, it cannot be proven that Sun Zhenjiang has illegally obtained economic information. Part of the information he collected came from the public media, and the other part was through his
I learned about it through personal connections, but the level of confidentiality involved is not high. If we really want to pursue it, it can only be regarded as a lack of confidentiality awareness, and it will not be able to be brought to justice."
"Is there any other reason?" Qin Hai said bluntly.
"Of course there are a few other reasons..." Xiao Weihao admitted that the so-called other reasons are naturally Sun Zhenjiang's background. If it were a grassroots person with no background, the security department would be able to take action even if there is not enough evidence.
Beat him to make him restrain himself. But because Sun Zhenjiang has a certain background, the security department has to save some face when doing things.
"So, don't you plan to interfere with this matter this time?" Qin Hai asked.
Xiao Weihao said seriously: "This is impossible. If what you said is true, the nature of this matter is different. The iron ore negotiation is a major event registered in the national economic field this year, and we have also received a notice requesting
Protect the iron ore negotiations. If Sun Zhenjiang’s behavior affects the overall situation of the iron ore negotiations, then no matter how strong the background behind him is, it will not protect him.”
"That's pretty much it." There was a trace of smile lines on Qin Hai's face, "I said you wouldn't protect bad people."
"Thank you, Chairman Qin, for your understanding." Xiao Weihao said half-jokingly. Then he put away his smile and said, "Mr. Qin, the information you just provided is very important to us. Can you tell me and call you?"
, who could it be?"
Qin Hai thought for a while and said: "This person should have been fully involved in the meeting between Pang Yongfu and Sun Zhenjiang. Judging from the fact that he deliberately concealed his voice, he should have met me once, so I was worried about his voice.
I can hear it. Currently, I can think of only one person who can meet this condition."
"Who?" Xiao Weihao asked.
"Pang Yongfu's secretary, Hu Xiaoshuo." Qin Hai replied solemnly. (~^~)
