Chapter seven hundred and sixty-two is to talk about conscience
Qin Hai gave the direction. It was easy for Xiao Weihao to determine whether the whistleblower was Hu Xiaoshuo. Xiao Weihao took two people to Hongyuan and secretly summoned Hu Xiaoshuo. When Hu Xiaoshuo broke the news to Qin Hai, he had already
Thinking of this result, when he saw Xiao Weihao, he poured out everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
"Thank you, Comrade Xiaoshuo."
After Xiao Weihao recorded the last word, he stood up and stretched out his hand to Hu Xiaoshuo and said thank you. The information provided by Hu Xiaoshuo was very timely for the security department. If it were delayed for a few days, Sun Zhenjiang would have leaked the collected information to foreign countries.
institutions, then it will have an irreparable impact on the iron ore negotiations.
Hu Xiaoshuo shook hands with Xiao Weihao politely and said calmly: "You're welcome, this is what I should do."
"Comrade Xiaoshuo, I have another question." Xiao Weihao said as if chatting while packing up the recorded documents.
"Director Xiao, you can ask, I will tell you everything I know." Hu Xiaoshuo said.
Xiao Weihao said: "As far as we know, you have been working as a secretary for Mr. Pang for five years. Mr. Pang thinks very highly of you and has repeatedly said that after you work for another one or two years, he will send you to work as a secretary.
Branch manager, I will give you a very good arrangement. What is the reason for you to..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Weihao didn't say any more. Hu Xiaoshuo understood his subtext. He hesitated for a moment, and then said with a self-deprecating look on his face: "What Director Xiao wants to ask is why I betrayed Mr. Pang, right?"
Xiao Weihao nodded: "You can also say it this way, or more appropriately, it's called annihilation of relatives for righteousness."
Hu Xiaoshuo looked up at the sky and said slowly: "I have never thought about betraying Mr. Pang. As you know, Director Xiao, Mr. Pang is very good to me. I have grown from a fledgling boy to what I am today.
His status is the result of Mr. Pang’s cultivation. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the same as my father. But..."
At this point, he sighed sadly and said: "You always have to have some principles in life... I was born in a rural area, and the money my parents earned after a year of hard work was less than the price difference of 10 tons of iron ore. Look,
I am not willing to see the hard-earned money of us Chinese people flow into Vale's pockets in vain. Mr. Qin led the team to negotiate iron ore, but Mr. Pang was causing trouble behind his back. I cannot accept it...
"
"Understood." Xiao Weihao said, "But if Mr. Pang is affected by this incident, I mean, if he resigns because of this, your future will be over. Have you thought about it?"
"Of course I have thought about it," Hu Xiaoshuo said, "If Mr. Pang is still on stage, I will definitely get a position as a branch manager in two years. Given my age...and talent. I will take the position of Mr. Pang before I am 50 years old. Now
The position is not impossible. And if Mr. Pang is implicated because of this matter, I will have no choice but to return to the office and be an ordinary employee. My development prospects will be interrupted because no new leader will use a person who has betrayed me.
A traitor to the old leader.”
Xiao Weihao stopped what he was doing. He paused for a while and said softly: "Xiao Shuo, don't worry, the country will remember what you have done."
Hu Xiaoshuo shook his head and said, "I don't care. I just did what I should do based on my conscience."
After collecting Hu Xiaoshuo's testimony, Xiao Weihao and his party ran non-stop to several steel companies, basically following in Sun Zhenjiang's footsteps. Sun Zhenjiang left, and Xiao Weihao arrived. He obtained the documents that Sun Zhenjiang was working on from the company involved.
A large amount of evidence was collected from raw material inventory data of various steel companies.
When all the evidence formed a sufficient chain, Xiao Weihao asked his superiors for instructions and received a quick response. Just when Sun Zhenjiang had just returned to Pujiang's office after a long circle, Xiao Weihao appeared with a team of people.
in front of him.
"Mr. Sun, I need to know something from you. Is it convenient for you to come to our place to talk about it?"
Xiao Weihao took out his ID, showed it to Sun Zhenjiang, and then said to him in a tone that left no room for doubt.
Sun Zhenjiang was stunned for a moment, and then asked calmly: "Can I make a call?"
"Not for the time being." Xiao Weihao said.
"Okay." Sun Zhenjiang gave up resistance. He knew that in front of the security department, any resistance would be futile. Since the other party found his door, they naturally had enough evidence. It was in the computer and file cabinet in his office.
There is also a large amount of material that can be used as evidence, and it is impossible for you to get away with it.
He also thought about asking the elders in his family for help. Then he thought about it. It was impossible for the security department not to know his origin. Since people dared to come to his place to arrest people, they naturally had already coordinated with his family. In other words
In other words, his family has abandoned him.
All employees in the company office were ordered to leave the computer immediately and stand aside to wait. One employee wanted to delete a folder on the computer when the security personnel were not paying attention. As soon as his hand touched the mouse, it was pressed down.
.In his computer, the security personnel found the monthly production data of various iron mines across the country, which had not been publicly released. The employee was quickly handcuffed and escorted into the parking lot downstairs.
in an Iveco commercial vehicle.
"Eight employees of Xinzhen Trading Company were criminally detained by China's national security agency on suspicion of espionage."
A brief piece of news in China's official media immediately caused a stir in the entire international steel market. Anyone in the industry who is paying attention to the negotiations between Chinese steel companies and Vale can smell a strong smell of gunpowder from this news.
Although the news did not specify which company Sun Zhenjiang and others were providing intelligence for, the circle is only so big. Who doesn’t know about someone else’s affairs? Even those who are lagging behind in information for a while can just call their colleagues.
Just two phone calls and you know the inside story behind it.
"How could things become like this!" Callum asked Joftz angrily while looking at the news reprinted in the local Brazilian newspaper.
"We don't know," Joffs said quietly, "We did not ask Sun to engage in espionage activities. I think he must be doing these things on his own initiative, or other companies may have given him such instructions.
.”
"Well, I hope that is indeed the case." Callum said to Joftz meaningfully. Joftz's explanation is of course the most beneficial to Vale. Callum threw down the newspaper and no longer cared.
Sun Zhenjiang’s question was instead asked to Joffts: “Jofts, what do you think of this move by the Chinese government?”
Joffts said: "I think it can be seen from this incident that the Chinese government is under a lot of pressure, and there are not many weights they can find in iron ore negotiations. Presumably Sun has learned about China
In order to cover up the current plight of steel companies, the Chinese government arrested Mr. Sun. I think the Chinese government will bow to us soon."
"Do you really think so?" Callum said coldly.
"So, Mr. President, what's your opinion?" Jofts asked.
Callum shook his head and said: "My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. I think this is a signal that the Chinese government is sending us, that is, they will never surrender to us. Think about it, Sun Zhenjiang is the director of China Steel
If the Chinese government still has the idea of compromising with us, how could they demolish this bridge at this sensitive time?"
"This..." Joffs was a little dumb. In fact, he could also think of what Callum said, but he had some preconceived notions and always felt that China would bow in the end. Now listen to Callum's analysis
, he also felt that something big was wrong.
"Mr. President, if this is really the case, what should we do?" Jofts asked.
Callum lowered his head and was silent for five minutes, and then said slowly: "We need to have a channel for dialogue with the Chinese side, and we need to understand the current thinking of the Chinese people in order to determine our follow-up actions. Now it is left to
We are running out of time, you must seize the time to re-establish contact with China."
Jofts said: "But haven't we closed the channel for negotiation? You once said that we will not restart negotiations unless China takes the initiative to invite you."
"That was then, and this is now, don't you understand the problem we are facing now!" Callum glared at Joftz and asked.
"This..." Jofts was speechless. It was Callum himself who said about closing the negotiation channel, and now it's him who said he wanted to re-establish contact. How could it be his turn to do something like this?
What about your own head?
Just when Jofts was struggling with how to get out of the predicament, the previous negotiator Lapaz hurried to Callum's office and said loudly as soon as he entered: "Mr. President, Mr. Jofts, I received a message from
An invitation letter from China.”
As he spoke, he held up a large envelope and waved it towards the two of them.
"Invitation letter?" Jofts was overjoyed. He quickly grabbed the envelope and asked La Paz: "Did the Chinese request to restart negotiations?"
"No." La Paz shook his head, "The Chinese invited us to attend an exhibition in Pujiang, China."
"Exhibition?" Jofts was puzzled. "What does the Chinese exhibition have to do with us? Is it about mining machinery, or about new mineral processing technology?"
"I can't understand it, so you should read it yourself." Lapaz pointed at the envelope and said.
With a doubtful attitude, Joffz opened the envelope and took out an invitation written in both Chinese and English, as well as a thick exhibition description.
On the invitation, the name of the exhibition is written:
China New Polymer Structural Materials Forum and Business Negotiation Meeting. (To be continued...)
