Rebirth without Regrets

Chapter 492 Internal and external troubles

In the huge study room, Ding Yuzhi sat on the Taishi chair, speechless. Even though the light in the study room was soft and bright, it could not hide the gloomy look between his brows. And he, who had already quit smoking, lit up for the first time.

A Brazilian cigar, with mellow smoke rising up, lingering in the sky above the study. The flickering butt seemed to confirm Ding Yuzhi's troubled and anxious thoughts at this time.

A pair of men and women in their fifties sitting opposite him seemed to smell a hint of danger and couldn't help but become nervous. The man also kept smoking, one after another, and quickly fell to the ground.

More than a dozen cigarette butts appeared, but he still had no intention of stopping. Instead, he seemed even more nervous. He stared at Ding Yuzhi, anxiously waiting for him to explain everything.

This man is none other than Ling Wei, the current general manager of Watson Petroleum and the eldest son-in-law of the Ding family.

Ling Wei's father was also one of the founding fathers of the People's Republic of China. Although he was not as famous as Wang Ding and other old men, he was also one of the most famous figures. He once served as a member of the Politburo and Minister of the Organization Department of the Central Committee, and was one of the twenty-five major cadres of the Central Committee. However,

He died before the end of the Cultural Revolution, and the Ling family was no longer in glory. The reason why Ling Wei was able to serve as the general manager of Watson Petroleum at the deputy ministerial level was because he was the eldest son-in-law of Mr. Ding.

The woman beside him is naturally Ling Wei's wife, Ding Yushan, the eldest daughter of Mr. Ding.

The reason why Ling Wei and Ding Yushan were sitting here so anxiously was because a series of actions by the central government made them panic.

Just after the New Year of 1997, the State Council issued "Several Opinions on Further Improving the Reform of State-owned Enterprises and the Protection Mechanism for Laid-off and Unemployed Personnel."

Unlike in the past, this document is not a general conceptual document, but a long-term development plan that addresses various issues arising in the reform of state-owned enterprises and the protection of laid-off and unemployed people in great detail.

At the same time, in order to implement these plans, the central government also established the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on the basis of the former Ministry of Labor. It also made detailed regulations on the relevant work of the newly formed Ministry of Labor and Social Security. The detailed rules contain nearly

Thousands of articles describe the authority and responsibilities of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security in great detail, which is completely different from the vague job functions and authorities of the previous Ministry of Labor.

At the same time, the new Ministry of Labor and Social Security not only standardizes domestic occupational classifications and national standards for vocational skills, but also formulates basic rules for labor relations adjustment, actively protects and guarantees the rights and interests of workers, and for the first time details pension and unemployment regulations.

, basic policies and basic standards for medical, work-related injury, and maternity social insurance and organize the implementation and supervision and inspection regulations.

The previous labor bureau focused on labor, and many systems were largely just a formality. There were some cases, but most of them were rectifications after surprise inspections. Those who were actually punished by the relevant systems were even rarer. But now it will be more comprehensive.

, Sunshine has transparently introduced a labor protection sequence, requiring all business units, whether state-owned or private, large companies or individual businesses, to sign labor contracts and purchase social insurance for workers, otherwise strict measures will be taken

investigation and punishment. There is no doubt that this is an earth-shaking change.

Although the Ministry of Labor and Social Security does not have real authority to handle personnel, everyone knows what it means to be criticized or even warned. Because the central government has clearly required that all enterprises and institutions must conduct various assessments, taxes, and annual reviews.

Strictly refer to the contents. Especially the three notifications, which will outlaw the rigid regulations on company operations, shocked many people into a cold sweat.

In short, the newly established Ministry of Labor and Social Security represents that the country's protection and security of workers has been raised to a new level. Of course, the introduction of new things cannot be perfect, and can only be gradually improved in work practice.

As for the first minister of the newly formed Ministry of Labor and Social Security, it was Ma Dongtao, a representative figure of the royal family.

Ma Dongtao is nearly sixty years old. He is strong and strong, but his political consciousness is still relatively sensitive after years of hard work. He has served as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Labor for many years. He originally thought that at his age, he should stand up well.

The last post, and then honorable retirement, with no possibility of correction. Unexpectedly, I would catch up with him at the right time, and at the end of the day, the dead tree would be able to bloom again. I thought he was the new official's first three things when he took office.

I tried my best and naturally wanted to achieve something.

Although the establishment of the Ministry of Labor and Social Security has attracted great attention in domestic and foreign political circles, and many people with lofty ideals have applauded it, in fact ordinary people do not care much about it. After all, these days, thunder is loud and rain is small.

I have seen a lot of things, and no matter how pleasant the above is, it cannot be taken as true. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

This has helped Ma Dongtao to a certain extent. If there was a big move from the beginning, it would be a difficult question whether to take great political risks and make the determination to rectify this area, or to hold back. But now it is a step-by-step process.

, coincides with Leng Binghan’s original thinking.

On the day when the document was delivered, in accordance with the requirements of the central government, the Propaganda Departments of various provinces and municipalities and the newly reorganized Labor and Social Security Bureau also introduced measures, printing various pamphlets and distributing them to cities and counties, requiring cities and counties to conduct in-depth publicity to make the new system and

The functions are accepted and understood by grassroots cadres and the masses in the shortest possible time.

The issuance of the document and the central government's actions made everyone know that this time the central government was serious about it.

The release of this document caused a sensation across the country. The People's Times published a commentator's article, praising it loudly and calling it a model of truly "governing for the people." Many foreign media also believe that this is an example of the CCP's

The new generation of officials began to explore a sign of more enlightened democratic politics. At the same time, it also symbolized that mainland China has more human rights, more democracy, and is more in line with internationalization.

While everyone was discussing this matter, no one knew that the driving force behind it was Leng Binghan, a boy who was less than twenty years old.

Of course, even if Leng Binghan had not appeared, according to the track of historical development, in March 1998, the central government would have established the Ministry of Labor and Social Security on the basis of the former Ministry of Labor. However, without the attention of the chief minister and Leng Binghan's obedience,

The reminders from past life experiences, many issues and systems are far less thorough than this time, perhaps this is also the butterfly effect brought about by Leng Binghan.

However, although these matters were important, they did not have much to do with Ling Wei's Watson Oil, nor did they make him unable to sit still and drag his wife straight from the west to the capital.

Because at the same time that the new document was issued and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security was established, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Planning Commission, the Audit Bureau and other departments formed a joint investigation team and also went to various large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises to investigate.

It can be said that all large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises were completely shocked by this survey.

The survey is not unprecedented before, but on such a large scale, it covers almost all large and medium-sized state-owned enterprises, even state-owned enterprises directly under the province and ministries. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Audit Bureau and other departments jointly conducted a survey to update

This is unprecedented. Hundreds of investigation teams, many auditors and accountants, immediately took over the accounts of each company's finance, production, sales, administration, and procurement departments, and analyzed the financial and asset data in recent years.

Conduct statistics and surveys.

When many people saw this posture, they intuitively told themselves that something bad was going to happen. Moreover, Ling Wei knew that the investigation team had already stayed at the Watson Hotel at the headquarters of Watson Petroleum. This was a posture to get to the bottom of it.

Moreover, Ling Wei can be regarded as the son-in-law of the capital, and he also holds the title of son-in-law of the Ding family. He has made many connections with powerful people over the years. But this time, no matter how much he inquired, he could not find anything valuable.

It made him feel even more unsure.

For a time, there was a turmoil in the country, and the situation became confusing. It seemed that a storm was brewing in a turbulent way.

"Alas." Before Ding Yuzhi could speak, he first let out a long sigh, which contained endless distress and helplessness. After a long while, he slowly said, "I think it's better to give up Watson Oil now."

Ling Wei and Ding Yushan were both stunned when they heard this, and then there was a barely suppressed look of disbelief on their faces. Ding Yushan was even more surprised and asked: "Second brother, how can this be done?"

Although Ling Wei didn't say anything, the expression on his face showed that he was as anxious and shocked as his wife.

Ding Yuzhi took in the changes in the expressions of the two of them and sighed dejectedly, "I know you are all unwilling to do so, and to be honest, I am also unwilling to do so. But sometimes, many things are not subject to our will. These

Year. Our Ding family is very prosperous, and no one can match it. If you make a sound, even the top leader will have to think twice. Do you know why?"

Ling Wei and Ding Yushan looked at each other, not knowing what Ding Yuzhi meant by this at this time.

Ling Wei thought for a while and tentatively said: "Because our Ding family has a high position and is a famous family, and the old man is still alive, others have to respect us."

Ding Yuzhi looked at Ling Wei and frowned.

Every time he looked at Ling Wei's face, a hint of disgust would arise in his heart, which made her very uncomfortable.

In fact, Ling Wei's face is not that hateful. On the contrary, he is tall and handsome, and he pays great attention to appearance, which makes people think that this person is solemn and heavy, but Ding Yuzhi just doesn't like him.

Ding Yuzhi couldn't explain why he hated Ling Wei so much. Maybe Ling Wei was just a young man whose family was in decline. Although he married the Ding family and married his sister, in his mind, he was still just a young man.

An outsider.

The more powerful the family, the more they attach great importance to the inheritance of blood. Including his own sister, as long as he marries someone, he is an outsider. If he hadn't thought that Ling Wei was still useful to the Ding family, I'm afraid Ding Yuzhi wouldn't even bother to talk to him.

he said.

Ding Yuzhi shook his head and said seriously: "What you say about a famous family is just a way to comfort yourself. Indeed, the old man is still alive, but sooner or later he will pass away. What should we do then?

"

Ding Yuzhi's expression was full of sentimentality, and then he said: "It may seem that our Ding family has great glory, but in fact, it is full of crises, internal and external troubles. Recently, Leng Binghan alone has made us miserable." Ding

There was infinite emotion in Yu Zhi's expression, and when the words "Leng Binghan" were mentioned, there was uncontrollable hatred between his brows.

"Leng Binghan?" Ling Wei suddenly heard this strange yet familiar word. He was in a trance for a moment. He looked confused and murmured. "Second brother, can't you? This Leng Binghan

Is it really that powerful?"

"Huh, you think too highly of Leng Binghan, right? If the Wang family hadn't been behind it, would he be the only one with the guts to do these things?" Ding Yushan said angrily.

After Ling Wei took a few puffs of cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt on the floor, stretched out a big foot wearing leather shoes, stamped out the cigarette butt, let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly looked up at Ding Yu.

Zhi, said with excitement: "Second brother, do you think the Wang family is planning to deal with us behind the scenes this time?"

Ding Yuzhi thought for a while and shook his head. It was not that he had never thought about this possibility, but he also felt that the possibility was too small.

The disagreement between the Wang and Ding families is well known, but if they make such a big fuss just for Cha Lingwei, they will make too many enemies. Even if the power of many families is gradually declining, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and there are three kinds of chaos in the ship.

Thousand nails, if it really wants to arouse public anger, the Wang family will not be able to protect it no matter what. At such a sensitive time, how could the Wang family choose to go into full-scale war with the Ding family or even other families for the sake of Leng Binghan? Put yourself in front of all forces

opposite?

Ling Wei and Ding Yushan looked at each other. If it wasn't the Wang family's plan, what happened this time? They both felt a little weird.

"Ling Wei, you should resign!" Ding Yuzhi said slowly, his steady voice drilling into Ling Wei's head word by word.

Ling Wei's body trembled visibly and his eyebrows were raised.

This sentence clearly shows Ding Yuzhi's attitude.

"Second brother, what should I do with the money?" Ding Yushan stammered.

You must know that Watson Petroleum is a large state-owned company with tens of thousands of employees. At its peak, its annual output value exceeded tens of billions. Since Ling Wei took charge of Watson Petroleum, the Ding family has taken away countless amounts of money from Watson Petroleum over the years.

One billion. Of course, part of it fell into the small treasury of Ling Wei and Ding Yushan. Although the accounts were done mediocrely and there seemed to be no problem at all. But the fake accounts are still fake accounts after all.

It doesn't help, and it is inevitable that some flaws will be exposed in front of those auditors and accountants.

"I'll figure out a way to deal with the money issue. If you can make up for it, let's talk about what you can't." Ding Yuzhi sighed softly.

He also knows the importance of Watson Oil to the Ding family, and he also knows that with Ling Wei's stubborn character, this tone is really difficult to swallow. Giving up Watson Oil will not only cause a heavy blow to the Ding family, but also

Now that overseas companies are being attacked by unknown forces, it can be said to be adding insult to injury. Moreover, the problems exposed may also trigger a series of cascading effects.

But what if you don’t give up? The consequences of not giving up will be even more serious. If you really act recklessly and insistently, things will really get out of hand.

"I will ask the old man to come forward on this matter..." Ding Yuzhi pondered for a moment and sighed.

This matter has reached this point, and it seems that it will be impossible if the old man does not come forward.

"Old man?" Ding Yushan's mind felt like being hit by a sledgehammer. She was trembling for a moment, but she also seemed to be in a dream. Her face suddenly turned pale. Even in the well-soundproof study room, she lowered her voice and said: "This matter

Is it really to the point where you want to alarm the old man?"

Ling Wei also became more and more puzzled, "The matter is not that serious, right? There have been similar investigations like this before. Why are you so worried? Is it too unfounded?"

"It is unfounded to worry?" Ding Yuzhi's eyes showed a deep mocking look, and he said seriously: "This time there is such a big movement and strong winds and waves, do you think it will be like before?"

Ding Yuzhi's expression became more solemn, "Ling Wei, let me tell you clearly that it is still unknown whether we can ensure your smooth escape this time. I hope that the old man's face can still be used."

Ding Yuzhi paused and said in a deep voice: "Now is an extraordinary period. I hope everyone can restrain themselves and avoid causing any trouble." After saying that, he stared at Ling Wei's pale face with piercing eyes, aggravated.

A little bit louder.

After the last conflict with the Wang family, the Ding family’s back garden was left in a mess and suffered huge losses. Their influence in the Politburo has dropped to its lowest point ever. I’m lucky to be able to keep my current position during this year’s general election.

It’s endless, but it’s hard to say whether this situation will change in the future. Therefore, the Ding family now strives to be stable!

It is difficult to predict the changes in the current political situation. Although the situation can only develop in balance, it is impossible for anyone to control the sky with one hand! Ding Yuzhi is not worried about the dominance of the Wang family, but since Leng Binghan intervened,

After the attack, the situation becomes more subtle. It seems that this brat is the nemesis of the Ding family. Nothing good happens every time. Not only is the shipping company gone, the southeastern provinces are invaded by various forces that have been snooping for a long time, and overseas forces are also involved.

Time has been sniped. It can be said that the Ding family is really in trouble internally and externally. If he didn't believe that the Wang family has such huge energy, Ding Yuzhi would really think that these are all conspiracy and planning of the Wang family.

"Second brother, will Ling Wei be okay?" Ding Yushan's voice was trembling, and Ling Wei's eyes were full of anxiety.

Ding Yuzhi said slowly: "It's okay, the old man is still here, our Ding family has not collapsed yet!"

Ding Yushan nodded numbly, but she always felt in her heart that her second brother, whom she had always admired, no longer had any sonorous and powerful words in his words this time, and could no longer give herself that sense of peace of mind.
