Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Chapter 520: Soldiers coming to stop them

The father-in-law's struggle for power and profit has hurt Li Weidong, which can be regarded as a disaster for Chi Yu.

But after all, he was his father-in-law, so Li Weidong could only bear the blame with tears.

Dad He took a deep breath and then explained, "Xishan Copper was originally an enterprise owned by the Metallurgical Company of the Ministry of Industry. Later, during the process of national institutional reform and state-owned enterprise restructuring, it was changed to an independently operated state-owned holding enterprise.

Guo Shichang used to be the leader of the Metallurgical Company of the Ministry of Industry, so several key cadres of Xishan Copper were all promoted by Guo Shichang at that time, and they can be regarded as Guo Shichang's old subordinates.

Although Xishan Copper is now separated from the metallurgical company, Guo Shichang still has great influence on Xishan Copper. Moreover, Guo Shichang is responsible for the metallurgical business of China Steel Corporation, and there is also a relationship between Xishan Copper and Xishan Copper.

A lot of contact.”

Dad He said and sighed: "If it were normal, I would have solved this matter with just one phone call. Although I am not in charge of metallurgy, Xishan Copper Industry still has to give me face.

But the current situation is a bit special. Guo Shichang and I are competing for the position of deputy secretary of the company, and both parties are eyeing each other's pigtails. If I go directly to Xishan Copper, I may be accused of using power for personal gain.

When the time comes, Guo Shichang will definitely make a fuss about this matter, and I am at a disadvantage when it comes to competing for the deputy secretary of the company. So I cannot directly take action on this matter, which is also more troublesome."

Li Weidong nodded and said, "Dad, I can understand your difficulty."

For Father He, the position of deputy secretary is definitely very important. This position is very likely to become the head of the company in the future. This is probably the pinnacle of his career that Father He can reach.

Sinosteel Corporation is a central enterprise at the department and bureau level. The head of the company is also equivalent to a department and bureau level cadre, while the company's deputy positions can only be regarded as deputy department and bureau levels. Although there is only one "deputy" missing, the salary is very good.

The difference is huge.

Moreover, according to national regulations, once a central enterprise reaches the deputy ministerial level, the main leading cadres need to be appointed by the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the CPC. At that time, it will not be possible for individuals to strive for progress.

As for the main leaders of departmental and bureau-level enterprises, the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China does not need to personally take action.

Sometimes, such lower-level central enterprises do not occupy less resources, but have greater freedom.

Naturally, everyone wants to be the top leader. The position of deputy secretary of the company this time is like the prince in ancient times competing for the heir. There will inevitably be some overt and covert fights and traps.

Guo Shichang asked Xishan Copper to cut off the supply of raw materials, which actually set a trap for He's father.

Because Li Weidong is the son-in-law of the He family, if He's father uses his power to help Li Weidong solve the problem, it will be tantamount to using power for personal gain, and Guo Shichang will take advantage of him, which will inevitably affect the competition for deputy secretary.

Dad He obviously saw through this, so he found the matter very troublesome.

After all, Li Weidong is his son-in-law, equivalent to half a son. There is no reason not to help. What's more, the matter of cutting off the payment was caused by He's father competing for the deputy secretary of the company.

However, if you help, you will give your opponent a reason to attack you.

That's why Dad He feels in a dilemma. It's neither right to help nor not to help.

After Dad He pondered for a moment, he asked: "Weidong, will the cutoff of Xishan Copper's supply have a big impact on you? Will it affect normal production in the short term?"

"Other products are better, but the production line of power strips will be greatly affected. Power strips are a new project, so we haven't stocked up too many raw materials before." Li Weidong replied.

"Don't you always make home appliances there? Why do you still produce power strips?" Dad He asked.

"Recently reached a cooperation with Philips to help them OEM power strips." Li Weidong replied immediately.

"Philips? It's the foreign Philips, right?" Dad He thought for a moment and asked, "Is it an export product?"

Li Weidong nodded: "Things like power strips are not universal in all countries. Philips' power strips are all European standards, so they can only be sold in the European market."

"Then there is a solution to the problem!" Dad He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Since this power strip is for export, we can ensure the supply of raw materials through the foreign trade department.

I also have some contacts in foreign trade and economics. I will say hello to the leaders there in a moment, and then you can go over and explain the situation that Xishan Copper will cut off the supply of materials and will affect foreign trade exports.

Next, let the foreign trade department send a letter asking Xishan Copper to ensure the supply of raw materials for foreign trade export orders. I think Xishan Copper should not dare to go against the ministry!"

Father He lowered his voice as he spoke, and continued: "Although I will say hello to the leader of the foreign trade department, after you go there, you still need to go through the formal procedures. In this way, it is business-to-business first, and secondly,

It was the foreign trade department that intervened, so Guo Shichang wouldn’t be able to catch me!"

…

Xishan Copper, general manager Liu Wenbin had just entertained customers at noon and drank a lot of wine, so after returning to the office, he lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Liu Wenbin's office is a suite, the outer room is the office area, and the back room is a lounge with a bed. If Liu Wenbin is tired on weekdays, he will rest in it.

"Mr. Liu? Mr. Liu?" The secretary's voice pulled Liu Wenbin out of his drunken stupor.

Liu Wenbin sat up, drooped his eyelids, and asked, "What time is it?"

"It's already two forty!" the secretary replied.

"It's almost three o'clock! Why didn't you wake me up earlier?" Liu Wenbin blamed him.

"I see you are sleeping soundly, so I don't dare to disturb you." The secretary said, handing over a cup of tea, and then said: "Mr. Liu, take a sip of tea first to wake up."

Liu Wenbin took the teacup, took a sip of the tea inside, and suddenly felt much more awake.

At the same time, the secretary said: "Li Weidong, the chairman of Puppy Electric, is here and he wants to see you."

"Puppy Electric?" Liu Wenbin suddenly remembered the interruption of copper supply.

"Li Weidong acted very quickly. I had just cut off the supply here, and others came to visit me! It's a pity that the old leader didn't let me supply you this time, so it's useless for you to come in person!"

Thinking of this, Liu Wenbin said: "I don't want to see this person, please find an excuse and help me push him away!"

"But Li Weidong got an official letter from the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation. The official letter requires us to ensure the supply of raw materials for Puppy Electric Appliances!" the secretary said immediately.

"An official letter from the ministry?" Liu Wenbin was surprised, and then immediately asked: "Is the letter true or false?"

"It's stamped. It should be genuine. I don't think Li Weidong would dare to forge official documents! What's more, it's an official letter from a ministry." The secretary said.

Liu Wenbin frowned: "What's going on? How did you provoke the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation?"

"Because the products produced by Puppy Electric are for export, the foreign trade department requires us to ensure the supply of raw materials and not delay the normal production of Puppy Electric," the secretary replied.

"This is going to be a bit troublesome. We can't afford to offend the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation!" Liu Wenbin said as if he was talking to himself.

"But if we are delivering goods to puppy electrical appliances, it will be difficult for the old boss to explain it!" the secretary said.

Liu Wenbin thought for a moment and said: "Li Weidong came to the door with a letter from the ministry. I must be able to see him. Not only do I have to meet him, but I also have to treat him well. We can not give Li Weidong face, but we must not give face to the ministry.

As for the shipment, try to postpone it for a while. After I see Li Weidong and figure out the matter, I will call the old leader and ask him what solutions he has to deal with it!"

…

Liu Wenbin met Li Weidong, and after reading the letter from the ministry, he promised to arrange the shipment immediately, and then asked his secretary to arrange a banquet and entertain Li Weidong personally in the evening.

Back in the office, Liu Wenbin immediately called Guo Shichang.

After explaining the situation, Guo Shichang on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and then said: "How could I forget that Puppy Electric has foreign trade export business! But the fact that Li Weidong got the letter from the foreign trade department so quickly must have something to do with He Yu.

I originally thought that He Yu had only two choices in this matter, either to sit back and watch, which would be a dumb loss; or to intervene directly, and then he would be caught for seeking power for personal gain. But I didn't expect that he would use the foreign trade department to put pressure on you. He Yu

This guy is really cunning!"

Liu Wenbin asked: "Old leader, things have developed to this point. Now Li Weidong has come with a letter from the ministry and asked us to deliver goods immediately to ensure foreign trade exports. What should I do?"

"The soldiers are coming to stop us. Let's find a way to delay it first!" Guo Shichang replied.

"This..." Liu Wenbin's tone was full of embarrassment.

Although Guo Shichang is Liu Wenbin's old boss, Liu Wenbin does not have to offend ministries and commissions because of his old boss. He still has to consider the future development of Xishan Copper.

Liu Wenbin hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old leader, I'm afraid this can't be delayed! After all, Li Weidong came with a letter from the ministry."

"Is there any clear request in the letter from the ministry as to when you should supply the goods?" Guo Shichang asked.

"That's not true." Liu Wenbin replied.

"That's incredible! Since there is no clear time stipulated, what's the difference if it's earlier or later?" Guo Shichang replied.

Liu Wenbin said: "But the letter requires us to supply goods in time without delaying the production of foreign trade exports. If Li Weidong's side stops production and affects foreign trade exports, we will still have to bear the blame!"

Earning foreign exchange from exports is a big deal, and leaders at all levels from the central to local governments attach great importance to it. If the higher-ups blame it and come to hold it accountable, we at Xishan Copper cannot afford it!"

Guo Shichang said: "You don't have to worry about this. Sinosteel is responsible for the export of metallurgical products. When I become the deputy secretary of the company, I will give you some export cooperation. Isn't it enough for you to complete your performance?"

Liu Wenbin thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

Sinosteel is different from the three major steel companies: Anshan Iron and Steel, Baosteel and Wuhan Iron and Steel. Sinosteel was formed by the merger of multiple units, including state administrative agencies.

In other words, Sinosteel at that time was not only a steel production company, but also held some administrative authority in the industry.

For example, compensation trade in the metallurgical industry, joint venture rights in the metallurgical industry, import and export business of metallurgical equipment and patents, foreign aid projects for metallurgical projects, and approval of development of foreign iron ore, all of which required administrative authority, were all the responsibility of Sinosteel at the time.

Although the three major steel groups have large businesses and higher levels, when it comes to these policy-related businesses, Sinosteel still has to give the nod.

For Xishan Copper, if it can get resource support from China Steel, its future business will not be able to take off!

Apart from anything else, is it not better to earn US dollars than RMB by exporting copper materials?

Guo Shichang continued: "Wen Bin, you were promoted by me, I will not harm you! Besides, you should also know how I have treated you over the years! Don't worry, you can help me

This time, I will definitely not treat you badly in the future!"

After hearing this, Liu Wenbin made up his mind to take a gamble and said, "Old leader, I listen to you! I will find a way here to delay it for as long as possible."

…

In Office X, several secretaries were sorting out documents and talking to each other.

"I saw the leader came back just now. His face didn't look good. Did something happen again?"

"What can make the leader look ugly must be a national event!"

"Isn't there another flood? But it's already October, so there shouldn't be heavy rainfall!"

"My family lives on the bank of the Yangtze River. I was on the phone with my family yesterday. I didn't hear that there had been heavy rainfall recently!"

While several secretaries were discussing in low voices, the phone on Director Chen's desk suddenly rang.

There are a total of six phones on Director Chen's desk, each phone represents a different source. The phone ringing now is the dedicated line of the leadership office.

Director Chen hurriedly picked up the phone and said respectfully: "Boss, I'm here."

"Come here!" the leader's voice sounded.

Director Chen agreed, immediately took his notebook and went to the leader's office.

On the leader's desk, he saw piles of documents piled up in a messy manner. Director Chen immediately realized that the leader had just been looking for something.

Seeing Director Chen come in, the leader said: "I have seen a meeting briefing before, which was about the impact of Thailand abandoning the fixed exchange rate. I looked for it just now, but I couldn't find it. Do you have this meeting briefing?

Impression?"

Director Chen's memory is very good. He only thought about it for three seconds before he remembered it. Then he immediately said: "Boss, I remember this document. Please wait a moment, I will look for it right away."

After Director Chen finished speaking, he turned and left. After the meeting, he walked in with the meeting briefing and handed it over with both hands: "Boss, do you think this is the one?"

The leader took it and took a look, then nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, that's it!"

Then the leader flipped through the lines at a glance, looking entirely at the title, as if he was looking for some important content.

After a while, the leader stopped looking down, apparently having found what he wanted to see.

The next second, dissatisfaction flashed across the leader's eyes.

"Why are there just a few sentences of judgment without ending, what are the specific basis?" the leader said, pointing to some contents in the briefing.

Director Chen went over to take a look and found that what the leader was referring to was actually Li Weidong's judgment that Thailand would trigger the Asian financial crisis.

"There are detailed meeting minutes here. I'll look for them right away." Director Chen said, looking for the documents again.

Director Chen is still very efficient. In just half a cup of tea, he found the meeting minutes of that day.

"Please see, these pages are the minutes of the meeting about whether Thailand would trigger the Asian financial crisis. The person who made this judgment was Li Weidong, the chairman of the Puppy Group." Director Chen said.

"Li Weidong? Why is it Li Weidong again? I remember a few years ago, he predicted that Japan's economy would have structural problems! And he also successfully judged Japan's economic policy." The leader said casually and started to read the minutes of the meeting.

.

As he watched, the leader's expression became serious.

Then he put down the meeting minutes in his hand and said, "Invite this Li Weidong here immediately, I want to see him!"

The word "immediately" represents the urgency of the matter. Director Chen was startled, and then immediately replied: "Okay, I will send someone to ask him immediately. What aspect do you want to know? I can also ask Li Weidong

Get ready."

The leader said: "The Hong Kong dollar suddenly devalued by 3.46%, and then the Hang Seng Index also fell by more than 1,200 points! After investigation, it was indeed the international financial speculators who were causing trouble. Li Weidong was really right, and the international financial speculators began to speculate on Hong Kong.

The island has taken action!"
