Chapter seven hundred and eighty-ninth, you must have capital to play tricks
The office was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Unexpectedly, in just a few minutes, the two had a serious confrontation, and it was too late to ease it.
Zhou Fahai was dumbfounded. Chen Mingxiang always gave people the impression of being humble and polite. He was rarely so domineering. Could it be that Li Hongfei was pushing him up and down on the stage, and he was a little angry because of embarrassment?
Chen Mingxiang was not trying to scare people. As long as he objected vehemently, Li Hongfei would definitely fail to become the chairman. The operation was also very simple. He could just file a complaint with Japan. Based on his status, it would be a sure thing to file a complaint.
"Brother Mingxiang, don't be angry yet. I believe Hong Fei said these words not against you and Haiyuan Salt Company, but out of public motives and for the future planning of the new company. Hong Fei, please apologize to Director Chen quickly.
The office ignores government officials, do you still know the rules?" Zhou Fahai shouted at Li Hongfei.
You little boy, you dare to play tricks on me, you really need to deal with it!
Have you forgotten, your status and mine are not equal, no matter from which aspect, I can crush you to death!
Of course Chen Mingxiang did not say these words casually, because he saw Li Hongfei's intentions. The other party was playing a strategy of advancing before retreating. Why did he say this?
To be valued by Zhou Fahai and take up the important position of chairman of Huazhong Salt Company, there is no doubt about Li Hongfei's ability. However, such a person has greatly failed to meet his standards, and his way of doing things is even a bit reckless. Why are you trying to deceive others?
The documents have been typed out. This must have been approved by Zhou Fahai and the Salt Affairs Bureau. Changes are impossible. Li Hongfei knows this. Therefore, he does not want Haiyuan Salt Company to stretch its hand too far and treat others.
If you try to think of someone else's area, then you can ignore him.
Objection is definitely ineffective, and this matter must continue to be implemented, but because he represents the attitude of Huazhong Salt Company, Chen Mingxiang was also promoted, and no further action could be taken, and the purpose was achieved.
Is this inference correct? Correct!
"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I spoke out of proportion, but I definitely didn't mean to target you or Haiyuan Salt Company. Huazhong Salt Company is responsible for tens of millions of salt taxes from the Jinling government's finances, and I am also a little anxious.
, please don’t argue with me if you have a lot." Li Hongfei said hurriedly.
His face was a little pale at the moment. Chen Mingxiang's judgment was too accurate. He really thought so. Even when it became a foregone conclusion, he still engaged in unnecessary arguments in order to protect the remaining interests.
But the trouble now is that he found that his scheming had dug a big hole for himself, bottomless. Things developed beyond expectations and he was in trouble.
Chen Mingxiang ignored the issue of sales region division at all and turned against him, directly disqualifying him as chairman. This was a waste of money.
Ruan Yulin and Liu Qian'an looked at each other and were very dissatisfied with Li Hongfei's performance. They had already received a promise from Zhou Fahai that Haiyuan Salt Company would pay each of them 300,000 China Reserve Certificates every month. This was not a small amount of money.
.
Not just for money, from a business perspective, it is also appropriate for Chen Mingxiang's Haiyuan Salt Company to be responsible for this most important area.
The other party's fleet has unobstructed waterways and is of large tonnage. No one can compare with its transportation capacity. In terms of local relations, Chen Mingxiang's foundation in Jiangsu Province and Beijing and Shanghai is obviously much stronger than that of the Central China Salt Company. Japan
Not only do people not make things difficult, they are also convenient.
Besides, the Central China Salt Company is a government-run enterprise of the Ministry of Finance of the Jinling Government. It is responsible for the entire Central China region. If this area is demarcated, you can just collect the salt tax from other places. Minister Zhou and the Salt Affairs Bureau are responsible for it. You
What's there to worry about?
Just do whatever you are told. A government-run enterprise affiliated with the Salt Affairs Bureau is concerned about the national salt tax issue. You really have no time to do anything!
"Director Chen, Li Hongfei is under great pressure to accept the quota issued by the Ministry of Finance. When people are in a hurry, they will inevitably speak unscrupulously. Please forgive him for once. In fact, Hongfei is still a very good person. I believe that in the future
It will be very pleasant for you to work together. Hong Fei will treat you to a guest at noon today and punish him with a few more drinks. Let this matter be over!" Ruan Yulin also said.
Now that Zhou Fahai and Ruan Yulin had spoken, Chen Mingxiang had to give them face. At the banquet at Jinlingchun Restaurant at noon, Li Hongfei punished himself with three drinks. The guests and hosts talked very harmoniously, as if the unpleasantness had never happened.
Chen Mingxiang hurriedly went to settle the payment outside the customs, and took the train back to Shanghai with the approval letter from the Salt Service Administration. This time, Zhou Fahai personally escorted him to the station.
"Hong Fei, what you did this time was too reckless. Do you know why the minister sent Chen Mingxiang back to Shanghai in person? Just to put in a good word for you and keep your position as chairman!" Ruan Yulin said in the office.
"Didn't Chen Mingxiang promise not to care about it?" Li Hongfei was shocked. He did not expect that Zhou Fahai's actions were actually hidden.
"You still don't know much about Chen Mingxiang's character. You are too naive to think about him. He is famous for his pettiness in the Shanghai stock market. Do you know Zhang Xiaolin, the leader of the Youth Gang?"
"He had a conflict with Chen Mingxiang, and he was later assassinated by the military commander when he was the chairman of Zhejiang Province. But Chen Mingxiang actually held a drink to celebrate after he was killed, and even sent money and gifts to the murderer's family. Just because of this,
You should know how small-minded he is."
"Not only does Chen Mingxiang have a good relationship with the minister, but he is also Chen Gongbo's confidant. The Japanese army in Central China also treats him differently. Central China Salt Co., Ltd. has now given Chen Mingxiang the right to sell salt in Shanghai.
Haiyuan Salt Company.”
"Former Jinling Police Chief Su Chengde was not only dismissed from his post because he offended Chen Mingxiang, but he also died in the prison of the Political Police Headquarters. Chen Mingxiang was the inspector of the Investigation and Statistics Department and the immediate superior of the Political Police Headquarters!" Ruan Yulin
said.
"Don't look at the superficial appearance of anything. Not to mention Chen Mingxiang's status. The salt from the Lianghuai Salt Farm has to be transported to various provinces. Except for Anhui Province, Zhejiang Province and Jiangsu Province mainly rely on waterways. The Central China Salt Company lacks ships.
Without such ability, the reason why the minister gave Chen Mingxiang such a big benefit was to consider the future transportation of the new company."
"Chen Mingxiang's fleet has a tonnage of 100,000 tons, which is unique in Central China. It has unimpeded access to the Yangtze River and the coast. Both the military police and the navy take great care of him. If you don't rely on his water transportation, you will be a salt merchant in the future.
We want to purchase goods, but you can’t transport them, what should we do then?”
"You have to be mentally prepared. Chen Mingxiang is definitely not satisfied with the present. He will also occupy a territory in Zhejiang and Anhui provinces in the future. You can't stop him, but you have to cooperate. In fact, he is not difficult to talk to. You should communicate with him well.
Everyone's interests can be protected," Liu Qian'an said.
