National Tide 1980.

"Jiang Hao, Jiang Hao! Damn it! I'm telling you, something big has happened!"

After hanging up the long-distance call from Lao Li, Nian Jing immediately called Jiang Hao's office.

Especially when he heard Jiang Hao's voice, Nian Jing was yelling in rage.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Hao on the other end of the phone had already known the news.

Although Jiang Hao's voice sounded decadent, he was obviously much calmer than his.

"Hey, are you saying that something happened to Lao Li? I was just looking for you. I didn't expect you to call me right now."

"You already knew? Did Lao Li call you too?"

"Yes, Lao Li wants to deduct our payment. Is this what you want to tell me?"

"This...what the hell is going on here? You found the source of the goods. Lao Li and his team insisted that our goods were mixed with smuggled goods. I say, you didn't really get a batch of smuggled goods to make up the number, did you?"

"How is that possible! Although the channel I used to purchase goods was not so formal, I am not so sure that I can't even distinguish parallel imports from genuine goods. Besides, when those goods arrived in Beijing, I personally watched them being put into the warehouse. I can't say that I opened every box, but I have a pretty good idea of ​​what's going on. I assure you, there is absolutely no problem with our goods."

"Then what are they doing..." Nian Jing really couldn't figure it out.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Hao told him a particularly reasonable guess.

"Don't you understand? Either Lao Li and his gang want to blackmail us, or their railway system or the industrial and commercial department want to blackmail them. There is no other situation."

"What? Old Li wants to blackmail us? This bastard is such a piece of shit!"

Nian Jing was a cunning man and couldn't help but curse on the spot.

But Jiang Hao was still trying to speak well of Lao Li.

"Don't rush to scold me. We haven't really figured out the matter yet. In my opinion, the last possibility is more likely. Lao Li and his gang shouldn't think of doing this. After all, my childhood friend and I are good friends. We should consider the Buddha's favor. Besides, there will be many opportunities to exchange resources in the future. It's unnecessary to do this for a few hundred thousand. It's too petty. If it gets to the circle in Beijing, they won't be able to survive. The biggest possibility is that they have offended someone in their business, and maybe they didn't take care of them in the official way, so they remember it and are looking for a chance to punish them. Anyway, no matter what, there must be someone in the officialdom targeting them, otherwise, it wouldn't be so serious."

"Well, what does this have to do with us? They caused the trouble, and we have to bear the losses. How can this be justified? How can Lao Li say that? He has already taken the kickbacks, and he still wants to deduct our money. The combined loss of the two of us is probably more than 500,000. Isn't this treating us as the scapegoats?"

Even though Nian Jing admitted that Jiang Hao's words made sense and that this possibility was higher, he was still indignant.

"No, Jiang Hao, someone has to take care of this matter. And it has to be done as soon as possible. There is no law in this world. Why should they say the truth? Hey, see who can solve the problem, and I will go with you then. And that bastard Lao Li is too unkind, we must not let him get away with it. Damn it, even if the responsibility is not theirs, even if they were tricked by others. I have to spit in their faces and ask them why they took our money but still didn't do anything for us."

Needless to say, in Nian Jing's mind, Jiang Hao certainly has a wide network of contacts and can establish connections in any government office.

Moreover, they are young masters living in high positions in the capital. With the central government's level of advantage over local governments, how could they allow the railway system and industrial and commercial system of a small place to be controlled by them?

This kind of trouble can be easily solved by simply finding someone in the ministry who is related to the railway system or the industrial and commercial system.

When they arrive in Chengdu, there will be no such thing as a strong dragon defeating a local snake.

Not to mention the short-sighted Old Li, even Jiang Hao's childhood friend who facilitated this matter, Nian Jing was thinking about teaching him a lesson.

When the time comes, let them know that we are not small fry who can be manipulated by others.

If you don't apologize, set out some apology wine, and say a few nice words, this matter will not be over.

But who knew that in Nian Jing's mind, this was clearly Jiang Hao's responsibility, but something went wrong.

He thought this was a good thing in his mind, solving the problem and making himself proud.

But the script didn't go the way he expected.

Jiang Hao first sighed, and then actually told him on the phone, "This matter is probably difficult. I'm afraid we will really have to suffer this loss this time and accept this injustice."

"What? Are you crazy? Hundreds of thousands! You don't want it! When have we ever suffered such a loss? If this gets out, how can we survive? We will become a laughing stock in the capital!"

Nian Jing never thought that Jiang Hao could actually say such words. This was not the Jiang Hao he knew.

"Don't worry, there are some things you don't know yet. It's because everything happened at the same time! I have something else to tell you, it's much more important than what happened in Chengdu."

"Ah? What's the matter? What do you mean?"

"Listen carefully, the news outside is not good right now. Someone from the higher-ups just told me that they are going to investigate the issue of reversed approval documents again. Everything we did in the first period of time might be recorded. If it were normal times, the matter in Chengdu would not be a big deal. I should be able to settle it if I find a way. But now is not the right time. If we do this, it will be fatal for us in Beijing. The most important thing for the two of us now is to leave immediately and hide from the news. Why are you still competing with Chengdu?"

Jiang Hao's words made Nian Jing open his mouth in shock for half a minute.

"What, the matter of the approval documents being checked? What does this have to do with us? We are at most the first and second passers. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. The person who gave us the approval is the real owner. I don't know how many people are doing this, and besides, it's not the first or second time that the higher-ups have checked, and there's nothing wrong with it every time. Do you need to be so panicked?"

"What do you know? This time is really different. Let me tell you, the man who approved the documents for us is in trouble. I heard that he made millions just by selling documents and taking kickbacks. This time, he has run into trouble. The higher-ups want to punish him, and even his father can't save him..."

"No, that's none of our business. We just got a few goods, and the money we gave him was just a fraction of what he received. And we followed the procedures almost all the time, and there's nothing wrong with it. How big of a sin can it be?"

"I can tell you're an outsider, so you must not get involved in this kind of thing. If you get involved, even a little bit, all your company accounts will be checked. Just for tax evasion, you will be fined to the point of bankruptcy if not sentenced."

"what!?"

Well, this time, Nian Jing was really scared. He finally began to believe how difficult the current situation was.

Suddenly, even the wording became incoherent.

"Well, well, then what should we do? This, this happened suddenly, this... where should we go?" Jiang Haoze keenly noticed his changes through his reactions, and was falling step by step into the trap he had set.

So at this time, he just happened to become the backbone of Nian Jing, began to make suggestions, show his plans, and further try to control the other party.

"Don't worry, don't worry. You don't have to panic. I've thought about it. Let's go to Hainan."

"Hainan? We have passed through Maicheng there! That place is unlucky, how dare you go there?"

"Look at what you said. Didn't we just throw away a few cars in Hainan? That's called losing money to avoid disaster. I think differently from you. Just because we escaped jail in Hainan, I think it's our blessed land. Besides, as the saying goes, you should get up from where you fell. We lost money in Hainan last time, but we have established certain connections in Hainan. This time we won't be a headless fly. Moreover, Hainan is a newly established province, and there must be a lot of opportunities there now. If we go there, first, we won't have any trouble, and second, we can do some other business to make up for the losses. This is killing two birds with one stone, isn't it good?"

"That's easy for you to say. Avoiding disasters, doing business, which one doesn't cost money? I only have 300,000 yuan in my account right now, which is the advance payment given by Lao Li. This money has to stay in the account in Beijing to maintain the company's operations. How much can I take with me? It's useless to take 100,000 or 80,000 yuan to Hainan. What can I do with that little money? I can only treat people and have a meal..."

"That's why I told you that we have to take a loss this time. We have to quickly reach an agreement with Lao Li and get the money in our hands. Think about it, as long as you get the balance from Lao Li, you will have the funds to go to Hainan, and the situation will be revitalized. Isn't it?"

Nian Jing had no way to refute Jiang Hao's meticulous arrangements.

But the problem is that the brain is one thing and emotions are another.

He still couldn't accept it emotionally, so he said sadly, "But if that's the case, our work for the past six months would have been in vain."

Jiang Hao was full of understanding, and tried his best to comfort her, "I feel the same as you, but now that things have come to this, we have to look forward. This is the best way. You have to be more open-minded. Business is always full of risks. Anyway, it's a blessing in disguise that we didn't lose a single piece of land. At least we still have funds, so we still have a chance to start over..."

"Okay. Then I'll call Lao Li right now. I'll tell him that I accept his terms. I'll ask him to wire the money to me."

When he said this, Nian Jing seemed to have been drained of all his energy because of this decision.

But even so, in order to prevent him from changing his mind halfway, Jiang Hao still exaggerated and continued to scare him on the phone, "Why are you still sending the money? I don't have time to give it to you. Let's put it this way, the situation is urgent, you don't have to pack any luggage, just take the company's official seal and documents, explain to your subordinates, and leave now. I'll go to the airport to wait for you. It's too late for us to buy tickets, so we have to go to the airport to wait for the refund. With the tickets, we will fly directly to Hainan, then open an account there, and then let Lao Li transfer the money to Hainan."

Nian Jing's hair stood on end at Jiang Hao's words.

"Is the situation really that urgent? There's not even time for me to go back and say goodbye to my family? I have to tell my wife and kids."

Jiang Hao said, "It's better to be safe than sorry. At times like this, I'm afraid of nagging and sentimental relationships. If you really fall into it and wear the silver bracelet, what's the use of regretting it? If you are afraid that Jiang Hui will blame you, I will tell her when we get to Hainan, and she will understand. Nian Jing, I'm reminding you for your own good. If you don't want to leave, then I won't wait for you. Anyway, I don't dare to stay here any longer, just think about the consequences..."

Now that things have come to this, what choice does Nian Jing have?

He had no guard against Jiang Hao at all, so naturally he became a frightened animal and was completely led by the "savior" Jiang Hao.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. You're right. Don't be so fussy. I'll be there soon. Wait for me at the airport. See you there..."

At this point, Nian Jing, who had been completely brainwashed and manipulated, not only decided to compromise with Chengdu, but also finally decided to go to Hainan.

He hung up the phone with a very heavy heart, and began to follow Jiang Hao's words to make preparations to leave the capital.

For example, I need to explain to my subordinates, ask the finance department for some cash, or go to a small clinic...

However, Nian Jing had no idea what Jiang Hao, who had just finished a successful performance, looked like on the other side.

At this moment, Jiang Hao no longer had the sadness on the phone.

Instead, he lit a cigarette with a radiant look, leaned back in his seat with ease, and smoked it with great pleasure, as if he had just made a big deal.

Of course, if you say so, it’s not wrong.

Because, Nian Jing naturally didn't know that Jiang Hao had already received the full payment for the goods from Lao Li just before they talked on the phone.

A full one million yuan was deposited into Jiang Hao's company account, not a penny less.

Among them, 125,000 pieces were the flesh cut from Nian Jing's body.

Besides, this is not all that Jiang Hao has gained.

Don't forget, not only did he successfully recover the losses from this business that was destined to lose money, he also made Nian Jing feel that he owed him a favor again.

Not only did he successfully use his fabricated lies to dissuade Nian Jing from going to Chengdu to cause trouble for Lao Li, but he also captured a free strong man for his next development plan in Hainan, and got a follower to command and a partner to share risks.

Yes, he is so smart in doing things that it can be said that he kills several birds with one stone.

Even Jiang Hao himself couldn't help but be satisfied with his wrist.

He was born to be a businessman, so he can use this business method perfectly.

As for the others, most of them are stupid, just like Nian Jing, who exists just to achieve his career.

Thinking of this, Jiang Hao felt even more proud, as if even the final payment of 300,000 yuan that Nian Jing was about to receive in Hainan had been obtained by him, and he couldn't help but whistling.

The staff in the cubicle outside suddenly heard a smooth and cheerful whistle and looked at each other in surprise.

After all, this situation is extremely rare, and none of them knows what good thing has happened to their top leader, Mr. Jiang, that makes him so happy.

It is clear that the recent business has lost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but it doesn’t look like it’s happening at all. What’s going on?

Besides, this sound really...really makes me want to go to the bathroom...what the hell! (End of this chapter)
