Although we haven’t seen each other much this year, the connection with Diao Guodong has not been severed.
However, after Chen Fangshi left, Du Fei had no one, so in order to maintain the business, he asked Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang to take over.
They were not proficient in antiques and the like, so they found an appraiser through Lao Yang, and they managed to survive.
It's just that the funds Li Zhong obtained through this channel are less than one-fifth of what Diao Guodong was at his peak.
"Brother Du..." The three people came over to say hello.
Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang were both relaxed, but Li Zhong was a little nervous.
Firstly, he didn’t have much contact with Du Fei, and secondly, he knew better than anyone else how terrible the methods of the young man who was about the same age as him were. .??.
"We're all here! Take a seat." Du Fei smiled and was very easy-going.
The four of them sat down, ordered a few dishes, and talked while eating.
Du Fei first asked about the situation at Li Dong's side, and said, "Kuang Fu, Zhi Gang, you two and Lao Li need to strengthen your cooperation. You can't slack off just because I'm busy with things here. Funding is not a problem, do you understand?"
Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang nodded quickly.
These two people are not stupid. They know that they are not the protagonists today. Du Fei mainly calls Li Zhong here.
The reason why Du Fei mentioned this is to pave the way for what follows. If you want to get something, you must first give it to it.
Du Fei looked at Li Zhong and continued, "I think it's best to double this amount... Lao Li, I've got the money here. It's up to you whether you can make a profit or not."
"
When talking to Li Zhong, Du Fei didn't mince words, it was just his naked interests.
Li Zhong said, "Brother Du, don't worry."
Du Fei said "Yeah", stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a bun and took a bite, "By the way, there is one more thing..."
Li Zhong immediately became energetic. He knew that this was the key point. Du Fei swallowed the bun in his mouth and said, "I heard that you have a grudge against the Lou family of the steel rolling mill?"
Li Zhong was stunned. He didn't expect Du Fei to mention the Lou family. He nodded and said, "Yes, before liberation, our family worked in the Lou family..."
Speaking of this, Li Zhong's eyes showed hatred.
According to the Lou family, Li Zhong's father worked as a driver for Lou Hongyi back then, and the Lou family treated them well.
There was even a time when Li Zhong's mother was seriously ill, and it was the Lou family who helped save her with money and effort.
According to them, Li Zhong's retaliation was an act of revenge.
But judging from Li Zhong's attitude, I'm afraid things are not that simple.
Du Fei had no time to explore the grievances and resentments between them.
Whether it was because the Lou family was rich and unkind, or whether Li Zhongen was seeking revenge, it had nothing to do with Du Fei.
Du Fei called Li Zhong here today for only one purpose.
Just don't cause trouble to yourself.
Lou now Hongyi has already registered there.
Li Zhong must say hello in advance to avoid causing any trouble.
After hearing what he said, Du Fei nodded in agreement, "Indeed, from my personal point of view, I don't have any good impressions of such capitalists who exploit the working people, but... now Lou Hongyi wants to do something for the country, and the higher-ups want to
Ensure the safety of his family, do you understand what I mean?"
Li Dong was not too excited.
In fact, just now Du Fei asked Liu Kuangfu and Yang Zhigang to increase their share of cooperation with him.
Li Dong guessed that what he was going to say next would definitely be something detrimental to him.
"Brother Du, I understand." Li Zhong vowed, "Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
Du Fei was a little surprised, he thought Li Zhong would have strong resistance.
Du Fei smiled and patted his shoulder, "Then thank you first."
Li Zhong quickly said, "I don't dare to take it seriously."
After talking about this, I saw that Du Fei hadn't finished eating yet.
Liu Kuangfu offered to leave.
Du Fei didn't keep them either.
When they were almost done eating, they asked Bai Laosi for a whole meal.
A large drawer of steamed buns.
But at this time, Liu Kuangfu left and returned.
Du Fei was not too surprised when he saw him.
Just now Liu Kuangfu offered to leave, and Du Fei saw that he wanted to send Li Zhong away.
He asked casually, "Is Li Zhong gone?"
Liu Kuangfu said, "They said they would take Zhigang and me to play, but I made an excuse not to go."
Du Fei said "Yeah".
Liu Kuangfu said again, "Brother Du, this guy Li Zhong is not an easy man. You have to guard against him in the future."
"How do you say this?" Du Fei wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and asked Liu Kuangfu to speak slowly.
Liu Kuangfu took a breath and said, "Brother Du, I suspect that he is with Zhang Zhongcheng and his gang from Yan University."
When Du Fei heard this, he frowned.
Liu Kuangfu continued, "Since you handed him over to me and Zhigang, we have never dared to slack off, and we have never been short of funds. The reason why there is less and less money is not that we don't buy, but that he has nothing to sell."
"
Having said this, Liu Kuangfu paused and lowered his voice slightly, "I also discovered that there are two people around him who go to Yanda every now and then. It is not close from Normal University to Yanda. If nothing happens, who would go all the time?"
Du Fei asked, "There are so many people in Yan University, why do you think it's Zhang Zhongcheng and the others?"
Liu Kuangfu replied, "After discovering this, Zhigang and I quietly followed him once.
When we saw those two people arriving at Yan University, they were very familiar with the people around Zhang Zhongcheng. They were arm-in-arm, chatting and laughing. Then they entered the building. We were afraid of disturbing the situation, so we didn't dare to follow them."
After talking about this matter, Liu Kuangfu didn't wait long.
Du Fei thought about it while waiting for the steamed buns to be steamed.
In fact, it is not surprising that Li Zhong has contact with Yan University.
At the beginning, Diao Guodong also tried every means to squeeze into that circle, but unfortunately he failed in the end.
Li Zhong is not as ambitious as Diao Guodong and is more pragmatic in his work.
If he has a relationship with Zhang Zhongcheng, Du Fei probably has a business relationship.
I just don’t know how deep his cooperation with Zhang Zhongcheng is...
The next morning, Du Fei came to the work as usual. Things at the Lou family were finally over.
On the train this afternoon, Lou Hongyi went to Guangz first, and then transferred to Xiangjiang to take over things there.
As for how to carry out the work in Xiangjiang, Du Fei does not need to worry about it.
In the past two days, Zhang Fakui and Wang Chao had not made any move, and they didn't know what big move they were holding back.
When it was almost eleven o'clock, Du Fei was reading the newspaper in the office.
Suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Come in~" Du Fei put down the newspaper and looked up.
"Section Chief, there is a comrade from the DC District Science and Technology Bureau looking for you." Yu Jiajia stood outside the door. Behind her stood a man of about forty years old, of medium build, with his hair parted, and he was polite.
He works in an agency.
The man took a few steps forward and said with a smile, "Hello, Chief Du, this is my letter of introduction."
As he spoke, he took out a stamped letter of introduction from his briefcase.
Du Fei took it and looked at it. It was indeed from the DC District Science and Technology Bureau.
It is clearly written above that the person’s surname is Cheng and he is a deputy section chief.
Du Fei shook hands with him and asked him to sit down on the sofa. "Chief Cheng, what's the matter with you?"
Yu Jiajia took a cup and poured a glass of water.
Chief Cheng quickly said "thank you" and then replied, "Chief Du, we need to import a set of experimental equipment from Xiangjiang, and the report has been typed..."
At this point, he stopped abruptly and laughed dryly.
Du Fei understood what he meant, that is, the report was typed up according to the procedure, and there was nothing more to go on.
Du Fei, however, was confused and said, "Chief Cheng, it seems that this matter of yours is not under my control~"
Chief Cheng begged, "Chief Du, please help me. We have run away so many times just to do this..."
Du Fei frowned and said,
Fang was obviously ill and sought medical treatment. There were quite a few things you didn’t answer. I won't give up if you do.
This is a bit disrespectful. Everyone is doing official business, so what does this mean to you?
Moreover, in Du Fei's view, any testing equipment that a district science and technology bureau needs to buy must be imported.
Besides, even if you really need it, just ask your superiors for foreign exchange, and then go to the foreign trade company to place an order.
What are you doing here for me?
But just think about these things in your mind, and definitely don’t say them with your mouth.
As I said before, these are all public affairs, there is no need to forge personal vendettas over official matters.
Du Fei chuckled and said, "Chief Cheng, I understand your mood very well, but we should respect each other."
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the letter of introduction, "Look, buying your equipment requires a lot of foreign exchange. I can't make the decision. How about you leave the materials and I'll send them up for you?"
A flash of disappointment flashed in Section Chief Cheng's eyes.
He didn't expect that the young man in front of him, who looked only twenty, was actually not easy to fool.
Just now he was both rational and emotional, so all the co-writing was in vain.
But there is no way. After all the words have been said, there is no point in messing around. I can only think of other ways.
Section Chief Cheng laughed dryly, put down the relevant materials he brought, and then walked away.
Yu Jiajia sent him out and returned to Du Fei's office.
She was very smart and realized that bringing Chief Cheng in just now was causing trouble for Du Fei.
After entering the house, he immediately admitted his mistake and apologized.
Du Fei waved his hand and said, "It has nothing to do with you. People come to do business normally, so you can't turn them away~"
Yu Jiajia said, "Next time, he will come again..."
Du Fei said, "You don't have to wait until next time. You can call his department back tomorrow and tell him that the department's review failed."
Yu Jiajia nodded quickly, but looked at the materials left by Section Chief Cheng on the table.
He hesitated and whispered, "Section Chief, do you really not need to buy this? From what he said, it seems quite important."
When Du Fei heard this, he knew that Yu Jiajia had let Section Chief Cheng fool him.
It's no wonder that people in this era always have a blind reverence for science.
He reached out and picked up the material, turned it to the end and handed it to Yu Jiajia, "Look at this~"
"Ah! So many!" Yu Jiajia was shocked when she saw them.
A set of experimental equipment actually costs more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Du Fei said, "If a key laboratory of a university or research institute wants to use this kind of equipment, it would be barely acceptable. Why would he, a science and technology bureau in the district, buy this thing? I patted my forehead and figured it out.
As soon as it came out, I still didn’t know how to feel about it, and all I wanted to do was go out to beg for help. Why did I just want to do good things~"
