That night, some places in Phoenix City began to quietly spread rumors, saying that someone reported that Hongxin System Integration Company, a subsidiary of Hongxin Group, was suspected of using shoddy and substandard cables in the subway line 2 and line 3 cable projects, earning huge price differences and
profit.
This matter soon reached Zhao Hongxin's ears. This matter shocked him.
Hongxin Group Headquarters Building, 905 Presidential Suite-style luxury office. Living room.
Zhao Hongxin, Hongxin Group President Xue Mingyuan, and Vice President Zhao Hongyi were sitting on the sofa.
Zhao Hongxin looks to be about forty years old, with a slicked back hair, a slightly protruding beer belly, and a stern expression. Xue Mingyuan is about thirty-six or seventeen years old, looks very young, and wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses.
He looks more mature. Zhao Hongyi looks about 45% similar to Zhao Hongxin, but he is younger.
Xue Mingyuan said: "Mr. Zhao, there is a lot of news in Phoenix City about our system integration company's use of inferior cables in the subway. I'm worried that something will happen sooner or later if this continues. We have to find out who is responsible for this.
If you go out, take good care of him."
Zhao Hongxin frowned and said: "Let's not talk about anything else, Hongyi, is there anything wrong with the cables used by our company?"
"Brother, don't worry about this. There is definitely no problem with the cables used on the subway. We purchase products from major manufacturers and all have various test reports. I suspect there is someone with ulterior motives behind this."
"I suspect Wu Deliang did it." Xue Mingyuan said.
Zhao Hongyi immediately followed up and said: "Yes, Wu Deliang was rescued two days ago by Liu Xiaoning's secretary Li Tianyi and deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau Wang Yalun, and was sent to Liaoyuan City, the provincial capital, overnight. All the interceptors we arranged on the way failed.
I guess this incident must have stimulated Wu Deliang to a certain extent, so this guy also revealed the problem of the problematic cable to us."
Zhao Hongxin said: "That shouldn't be the case. He is just one of our loan sharks. How could he know about the system integration company?"
Xue Mingyuan said: "Mr. Zhao, although Wu Deliang is just one of our coders, don't forget that he has a lot of money in his hands, and he is very sociable. He has worked with our real estate company and system integration company
Many of his bosses have very good relationships. So, if he really knows something, it’s nothing new.”
"Brother, why don't we send people to arrest Wu Deliang's wife and children, and then let Wu Deliang be careful and stop talking nonsense," Zhao Hongyi said.
Zhao Hongxin shook his head after hearing this: "It's better not to do this. Now Wu Deliang has been directly controlled by the Provincial Public Security Department. Even if we arrest Wu Deliang's relatives, the news may not reach Wu Deliang's ears."
Go, even if the news reaches Wu Deliang's ears, if he reports the case directly to the Provincial Public Security Department and the province investigates it, we will be very passive.
We are in business, and we must abide by the laws and regulations. Although we cannot use threats, we can use other forms. For example, we can send some money to the Wu family and take more care of them. I believe
, as long as the directors who are relatives of the Wu family will definitely find a way to spread our kindness to them to Wu Deliang's ears, maybe Wu Deliang will be influenced by our kindness and later change his mind.
We must convince people with virtue! This is what a large group like our Hongxin Group should do."
Xue Mingyuan immediately gave a thumbs up: "Mr. Zhao has a far-sighted view and convinces people with virtue. Yes, we must convince people with virtue. I will arrange this matter right now."
Subsequently, Xue Mingyuan immediately arranged for a high-end washing machine to be sent to Wu Deliang's family. It was made in China, including the motor. The market price was as high as 18,888 yuan. The brand was Hua'an!
Then he sent 80,000 yuan in resettlement fees to Wu Deliang's wife, so that she could go to the provincial capital to visit Wu Deliang when she had time.
Others, the people from Hongxin Group didn’t say a word.
Hongxin Group's actions quickly reached Li Tianyi's ears.
After Li Tianyi learned the news, a sneer appeared on his lips.
Although Hongxin Group did not take any other actions, just sending money to Wu Deliang's family is enough to prove that Hongxin Group must have a guilty conscience. So now it is basically certain that what Wu Deliang said about the cable problem of Hongxin Group
It's very likely true.
"Tianyi, Hongxin Group has already taken action. Should we take action here?" Wang Yalun said excitedly on the phone.
Li Tianyi shook his head: "No, let's wait and see for the time being. The time is not yet ripe."
Li Tianyi stood still, but as time went by, two days later, the discussion about the problematic cable incident became more and more heated.
When the heat suddenly rose, Jia Lianqing was the first to be unable to sit still.
Because Metro Line 2 and Line 3 were built when he was mayor, Hongxin Group was able to win the bid for these two projects. Although he did not help speak, everyone in the industry knew the relationship between him and Zhao Hongxin
, he would hand over the project to Hongxin Group without even having to say anything. Once something happened, he, the project commander at the time, would also be jointly and severally responsible.
Jia Lianqing called Zhao Hongxin over with a phone call.
In a private room of a high-end teahouse in Fenghuang City.
Jia Lianqing looked at Zhao Hongxin with a serious face and said: "Hongxin, tell me the truth, is there anything wrong with the cables used by your Hongxin System Integration Company on Metro Lines 2 and 3? I can tell you,
If there is an accident due to cable problems during the operation of the subway in the future, the responsibility will be huge. This huge responsibility is not something I can bear. Tell me the truth."
Zhao Hongxin said quickly: "Secretary Jia, I really don't know about this matter, because from the beginning to the end, I know very well that our Hongxin Group System Integration Company started and survived by doing government projects. If we want to securely and steadily manage the government
As long as the project continues, the quality of the product will always be the first priority, because for us, getting the project is not a problem, not even the price or payment is a problem. The only thing we need to ensure is the quality of the product.
Therefore, I have relatively strict requirements for system integration companies. They must purchase qualified products. In order to ensure that there are no problems with product procurement, I arranged for my fourth brother to be the vice president in charge of purchasing to personally take charge.
. I believe he should understand the importance."
Jia Lianqing frowned and said: "If there is no problem with the cables you supplied, why is it so popular in Phoenix City now? It should be no smoke without fire, right?"
"Secretary Jia, don't worry. I will investigate the matter immediately after I return to see what happened. If it is indeed someone below who violated the rules, I will never tolerate it."
Jia Lianqing's face was a little gloomy: "Hongxin, you must pay great attention to this matter. I can tell you that these are extraordinary times. Mayor Liu Xiaoning has been trying to make some noise. Qian
Don't let him catch you, otherwise, not even gods can save you."
"I understand." Zhao Hongxin nodded repeatedly. He had already realized the seriousness of the problem.
After leaving the teahouse, Zhao Hongxin returned to Hongxin Building and immediately called his fourth brother Zhao Hongyi over and poured him a glass of water himself.
Seeing that his elder brother was acting abnormally, Zhao Hongyi felt a little uneasy. In the past two days, as things continued to unfold, he had already felt a little bit of pressure.
"Fourth Brother, tell me honestly, are there any problems with the cables used on Metro Lines 2 and 3? Secretary Jia talked to me personally today, and I must give him an accurate answer.
Otherwise, once this matter is exposed, the problem will be serious." Zhao Hongxin stared at Zhao Hongyi coldly and asked with a stern expression.
Zhao Hongyi hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Brother, there must be nothing wrong with the cable."
"Pa!" Zhao Hongxin slammed the table: "Fourth brother, what time is it now, and you are still complaining to me. If you don't want to go to jail, just tell me honestly. If there is really any
If there is a problem, we can find ways to remedy it. Don’t wait for others to expose the problem. Then we will be passive and in trouble.”
Seeing that his eldest brother was angry, Zhao Hongyi fell silent.
After a while, Zhao Hongyi said: "Brother, the cables we use are all cables from major manufacturers. They are our famous brand Kaijiao Cable in Baiyun Province. This is our well-known trademark in China. Not only did we win the bid for Line 2,
This company's cables are used for Line 3 and Line 4. Even Line 4 and Line 5, which we did not win the bid for, as well as many subway projects in our province and some big cities and large state-owned enterprises, are supplied by this company.
Many of their customers are large state-owned enterprises related to railways, subways, and railways. I think that since they dare to use Kaifa cables, why can’t we use them? I believe that it is definitely impossible for these large state-owned enterprises to use them.
Is there a problem with cables? They are the benchmark for our private enterprises."
Zhao Hongxin frowned: "What you said makes sense, but why did you have to choose this one?"
"Because this company's price is cheap! I estimate that the fundamental reason why other large state-owned enterprise winning bidders use Kaijiao Cable is also the price issue." Zhao Hongyi said.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Hongxin immediately became alert.
Zhao Hongyi explained: "Brother, let me give you an example. Suppose that the cost price of our successful bidder to purchase cables in the market is 100 yuan per meter, then the price supplied to us by Kaijiao Cable Company is 70 yuan per meter, and the market price
The price is 200 yuan per meter, and once the bidding time comes for the subway project, we only need to find some bidding companies to run the project well and build a good relationship with the people in charge of the subway company. Then we can definitely raise the winning bid price to 300 yuan.
One meter, after deducting the benefit fee paid to the person in charge of the subway company and other various public relations expenses of 100 yuan per meter, we still have 200 yuan per meter in the end. Then deduct the cost of 70 yuan per meter. In other words, we
For every 1 meter of cable sold, there is a profit of 130 yuan. So that subway line does not need dozens of kilometers of cable length, and our profit is quite considerable.
What's more, I said 100 yuan per meter is just an example. In fact, the price may be higher. The higher the price, the higher our profit. Let me tell you, Kaijiao Company has various qualification certifications.
Various test reports, the cost and price are still so low, why don’t we buy their cables? If it were you, would you buy cables from other manufacturers?”
Hearing this, Zhao Hongxin felt a chill all over his body.
