Material Empire

Anhe, Pingyuan.

In the general manager's office of Daqin Group, Qin Hai hung up the phone and asked Song Hongxuan with a mocking smile, "Do you know what kind of call I just answered?"

Song Hongxuan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "How do I know, Mr. Qin has friends all over the world, and Mr. Qin's business is varied. I can't guess what call you answered."

"Boss Song is criticizing me for not doing my job properly." Qin Hai laughed. When he and Song Hongxuan called each other "President", it meant that they were in a relaxed mood and that they could joke around.

"No, no." Song Hongxuan said, "I think that what Mr. Qin has done recently is a serious matter, and it is a serious matter related to the national economy and the people's livelihood."

"That's good. With Mr. Song's words, I feel at ease." Qin Hai said, after joking, he shook his phone and said, "Hong Xuan, let me tell you, I just answered an anonymous Telephone."

"Anonymous call?" Song Hongxuan put away his smile and looked at Qin Hai: "Why, did something happen?"

Qin Hai nodded, and said: "I looked at the number, it was a phone number 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, went to Hongyuan and had dinner with Pang Yongfu and Xiang Pengda of Honggang."

"Sun Zhenjiang?" Song Hongxuan frowned.

In 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 the others knew the situation of this dear friend very well. Sun Zhenjiang only borne the economic loss afterwards. More than half of the billions he had saved in business over the years fell into the pockets of the Daqin Group, but his personal freedom was not affected. Afterwards, he founded Xinzhen Trading Company, specializing in the business of importing mineral resources from overseas. The intelligence department of the Daqin Group knew about this and reported to Qin Hai and Song Hongxuan.

Hearing the name Sun Zhenjiang, Song Hongxuan instinctively sensed some problems, and asked Qin Hai: "Did the person who broke the news say what they talked about together?"

"Yes." Qin Hai nodded, "He told me that Sun Zhenjiang planned to import a batch of Vale's ore for Honggang through some tortuous channels, but Pang Yongfu did not directly agree and let Xiang Pengda handle this matter. "

"These scum!" Song Hongxuan cursed in a low voice. He knows what kind of negative impact Sun Zhenjiang's behavior will bring to the iron ore negotiations. Once Vale realizes that Chinese companies are not monolithic, their attitude will become tougher, which is extremely harmful to the iron ore negotiations. Adverse. The behavior of Pang Yongfu and Xiang Pengda is a typical abolition of public affairs for personal reasons, for the interests of small groups and regardless of the overall interests of the country.

"That's not the most important thing." Qin Hai said with a sneer, "The anonymous whistleblower also specifically reminded me 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 sank completely. With his intelligence and industry experience, if he couldn't understand what this meant, he wouldn't be the general manager of the group.

"A group of demons are dancing." Qin Hai said calmly, "We are going to fight Vale with wits and courage, and they are not idle. This is obviously trying to get our bottom line."

"This situation is very important. Should I report it to the Economic and Trade Commission immediately?" Song Hongxuan reminded.

Qin Haidao: "It must be reported to the Economic and Trade Commission. It is estimated that Xiao Bureau and the others should be invited to intervene. A businessman like Sun Zhenjiang who cooperates with foreign businessmen must not be let go."

"This Pang Yongfu is not a novice anymore, can he not see Sun Zhenjiang's intention?" 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 be sure that he intentionally disclosed this information to Sun Zhenjiang, and his purpose is to hope that Sun Zhenjiang can pass on these information to Vale."

"Yes!" Qin Hai sighed resentfully, "The iron ore negotiation is a matter for the entire Chinese steel industry, but why are there some people who insist on watching the excitement, hoping that we will fail in the negotiation? On weekdays, these people fight price wars in the domestic market, and compete for investment and projects in the Economic and Trade Commission, one by one. It's so fucking hot!"

"Are you planning to report Pang Yongfu's situation to the Economic and Trade Commission?" Song Hongxuan asked.

Qin Hai thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "It doesn't make much sense to tell the Economic and Trade Commission about it. Honggang is an enterprise in Hongyuan Province, and Pang Yongfu is managed by Hongyuan Province. Even if the Economic and Trade Commission knows what's going on, it won't There is no way to take him."

"Then forget it?" Song Hongxuan asked with a smile. He clearly saw that Qin Hai's face was full of anger, and he also knew that Qin Hai was really annoyed. Pang Yongfu's move, Yu publically harmed the interests of the country, Yu privately set a trap for Qin Hai, intending to see Qin Hai's jokes. It's not Qin Hai's style to be bullied to such an extent and not make a move. Song Hongxuan spoke with a smile at this time, clearly trying to provoke Qin Hai.

"It's impossible to let this matter go like this." Qin Hai said coldly, "I'll go to the capital right away and file a complaint with the Imperial Court."

That afternoon, Qin Hai left Anhe and rushed to the capital by plane. After getting off the plane, he came to a secluded teahouse in the car of the Beijing Office. Walking into a private room, Xiao Weihao was waiting for him inside.

"What happened to make you, Chairman Qin, come to the capital in such a hurry?" Xiao Weihao asked Qin Hai to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile. Qin Hai called Xiao Weihao before An He left, and this was the meeting place they had agreed to meet.

"It's true that there is something wrong. I haven't communicated with the Economic and Trade Commission yet. I want to hear your opinion from Director Xiao first." Qin Hai said.

Xiao Weihao nodded: "Tell me."

"It's like this. I received an anonymous call in Anhe today..." Qin Hai recounted to Xiao Weihao what 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 tone, as if Qin Hai was talking about an unimportant matter.

"That's it." Qin Hai replied. When you deal with Xiao Weihao, you often have to encounter such a result. Obviously you told him as a big deal, but he didn't seem to care. If it was someone who didn't know Xiao Weihao well, he would be choked and vomited blood. up.

"We understand the situation." Xiao Weihao replied.

"Are you saying that you understand Sun Zhenjiang's situation, or that you understand Pang Yongfu's situation?" Qin Hai asked angrily.

"Of course it's Sun Zhenjiang..." Xiao Weihao finally showed a bit of embarrassment, and he also knew that his behavior just now was too disrespectful to Qin Hai. In any case, he also came to report the situation to himself. This matter has a lot to do with Qin Hai, but it has even more to do with Xiao Weihao, because his job is to be in charge of national security, and Sun Zhenjiang's actions can already be attributed to him. For commercial espionage.

"Sun Zhenjiang became Vale's agent in China a few years ago. He used ore imports as a cover to collect domestic ore-related economic information and provide it to Vale and other overseas mining companies as a The basis for the other party to formulate its policy toward China. He himself did not gain direct benefits from providing information, but various mining companies made him get rewards by providing him with more favorable import conditions." Xiao Weihao introduced to Qin Hai.

"Since you already know, why do you let him get away with it?" Qin Hai asked dissatisfied.

Xiao Weihao hesitated for a while, and said: "So far, according to the information we have, it is still impossible to prove that Sun Zhenjiang has illegally obtained economic information. Part of the information he collected came from the public media, and although the other part was obtained through his I learned about the relationship between people, but the level of confidentiality involved is not high, if we really want to pursue it, it can only be regarded as a weak sense of confidentiality, and it cannot be brought to the level of justice."

"Is there another reason?" Qin Hai said bluntly.

"Of course there are a little bit of other reasons..." Xiao Weihao admitted, the so-called other reasons are naturally Sun Zhenjiang's background. If it was replaced by a grassroots with no background, even if there is not enough evidence, the security department can take action 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 ask about this time?" Qin Hai asked.

Xiao Weihao said solemnly: "This is impossible. If what you said is true, the nature of this matter will be different. The iron ore negotiation is a major event registered in the national economic field this year. 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, no matter how strong the background behind him is, he will not be able to protect him.”

"That's pretty much the same." There was a trace of smile on Qin Hai's face, "I said you don't know how to cover up bad guys."

"Thank you Chairman Qin for your understanding." Xiao Weihao said half-jokingly, then he put away his smile and said, "President Qin, the information you just provided is very important to us. Can you tell me and call you Yes, who could it be?"

Qin Hai thought for a while and said: "This person should have participated in the whole process of Pang Yongfu's meeting with Sun Zhenjiang. Judging from the fact that he deliberately concealed his voice, he should have met me once, so I am worried about his voice. It was recognized by me. There is only one person I can think of who can meet this condition."

"Who?" Xiao Weihao asked.

"Pang Yongfu's secretary, Hu Xiaoshuo." Qin Hai replied solemnly.
