Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 833: Sophisticated!

Boss Yan, who was blinded by anger, heard Boss Kou's reminder and then remembered the capabilities of the You family. Thinking of the people the You family had planted in the department, Boss Yan's eyes flashed with a fierce look and he replied, "Old Kou! You are right. If I expose this matter now, the You family will definitely notify Li Jianshe to flee to a Western country before the investigation team arrives in Hong Kong to protect themselves."

"At the meeting, Lao Zhao recommended Li Jianshe as the general manager of Red Star Trading Company. I was firmly against it. Lao Zhao and several deputies in the department almost all supported Li Jianshe as the general manager. Now that Li Jianshe has caused such a big mess, those people who supported Li Jianshe at the beginning will probably be punished, even if they don't die."

When Mr. Kou heard what Mr. Yan said and thought of Mr. Yan's situation some time ago, he couldn't help but say, "Old Yan! Speaking of this matter, you should thank Comrade Aiguo. If it weren't for Aiguo discovering what Li Jianshe did, I'm afraid we would have been kept in the dark."

When Mr. Yan heard Mr. Kou mention Wu Aiguo, he immediately thought of the exchange of equipment for goods, and hurriedly asked Mr. Kou, "Mr. Kou! What did Wu Aiguo say about the Trade Department exchanging equipment for goods with the factory?"

Earlier on the phone, Mr. Kou heard from Wu Aiguo that the purchasing channel for You Changzheng was introduced by Li Jianshe. When Mr. Kou heard the news, he felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong for a while.

Now, when he heard Mr. Yan asking about the equipment-for-goods exchange in the Trade Department, Mr. Kou suddenly felt enlightened and muttered to himself, "When I heard Aiguo say that Li Jianshe introduced You Changzheng's procurement channel, I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Now that Old Yan asked me this, I finally understood what was wrong."

When Mr. Yan heard Mr. Kou's mumbling, he felt confused and asked Mr. Kou curiously, "Mr. Kou! What are you mumbling on the other end of the phone?"

When Mr. Kou heard Mr. Yan's question, he finally came to his senses and tried to understand the whole story. Mr. Kou introduced Mr. Yan with a serious face, "Old Yan! The youngest son of Mr. You from the Ministry of Finance, was recently transferred to the Trade Department as deputy director."

"Some time ago, You Changzheng said that he had a procurement channel that could buy various advanced equipment from England, and that he could trade them in the form of barter."

"When several deputies from the Trade Department learned that the exchange equipment must be settled at the price of production, they opposed You Changzheng's proposal. As a result, You Changzheng mocked those deputies in a veiled way, saying that they should not be involved in politics. In the end, Aiguo nodded, and You Changzheng was given the opportunity to take charge of this work."

"When I was talking to Aiguo on the phone, I was still wondering in my heart, given Aiguo's personality, how could he agree to such an outrageous condition? Now that I've heard what you said, I finally understand the key point."

When Boss Yan heard what Boss Kou said, he not only did not understand what Boss Kou meant, but was confused by what he said. He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Old Kou! What's going on? I am confused by what you said."

Through the narration just now, Mr. Kou has already sorted out the whole story. Facing Mr. Yan's question, thinking of Wu Aiguo's plan, Mr. Kou had to admire Wu Aiguo's scheming. He smiled and introduced him to Mr. Yan: "Old Yan! Li Jianshe is the son-in-law of the You family, and You Changzheng is the third generation of the You family!"

"Li Jianshe introduced You Changzheng to this channel of exchanging equipment for goods. According to what Wu Aiguo told me, the goods that You Changzheng exchanged for equipment were not sent directly to Red Star Trading Company, but to a private company in Hong Kong."

"If my judgment is correct, in order to fill the hole of gambling losses, Li Jianshe used some equipment he bought from Hong Kong to exchange for low-priced products from China, and then sold them to Western businessmen at high prices, and then made huge profits from it."

After Mr. Kou introduced this, he thought of the identities of You Changzheng and Li Jianshe and couldn't help but sigh: "Aiguo's trick is simply too vicious! If his plan succeeds, the You family will probably be in big trouble this time."

After hearing what Mr. Kou said, Mr. Yan finally understood the reason. He said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "Mr. Kou! When I first heard that the Trade Department was exchanging equipment for goods, I was wondering why Wu Aiguo would do this. Now that you have said this, I finally understand."

When Mr. Yan said this, he felt very happy when he thought about the situation that the You family would face after the higher-ups found out the truth. He then said, "Old Kou! If this matter only involves Li Jianshe, with You Guokai's ability, the You family will have to pay some price, but it won't hurt the foundation."

"Now the third generation of the You family is also involved. No matter how capable You Guokai is, the You family cannot withstand the anger of the two gentlemen this time. It is simply impossible for You Guokai to continue to stay in the position of director."

When Mr. Kou heard what Mr. Yan said, thinking of You Guokai's shrewdness, he said to Mr. Yan, "Mr. Yan! Since Li Jianshe is in a hurry to fill the hole, this matter can't be delayed. After get off work, let's go to see the two gentlemen and report this matter to them."

When General Manager Yan heard General Manager Kou's proposal, he nodded in agreement and replied, "Old Kou! Let's meet outside your office building after work." "What! Changzheng used a batch of equipment to exchange a large number of goods from those factories in Kyoto City that were specifically responsible for earning foreign exchange at the factory price. Is this true?" In You Guokai's office, You Guokai asked into the phone with a shocked look on his face, holding the phone in his hand.

Vice President Zhao on the other end of the phone heard You Guokai's question and answered very confidently: "Old leader! This is absolutely true. President Yan called President Kou specifically for this matter."

"After Mr. Yan made the call, he first went to the Export Trade Department to retrieve the list of export goods, and then took the list to the Finance Department. It turned out that Red Star Trading Company had not transferred all the payment back to China."

You Guokai, who was sitting at his desk, heard Vice President Zhao's report and immediately realized that something was wrong. He asked Vice President Zhao again, "Xiao Zhao! Are you sure that Red Star Trading Company has not transferred all the payment back to China?"

When Vice President Zhao learned that President Yan was taking the list to the Finance Department to check the accounts, he immediately called the Deputy Director of the Finance Department to his office to find out the reason why President Yan was checking the accounts.

The result is that you don't know until you ask. Once you ask, you will be shocked. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Vice President Zhao called You Guokai immediately and reported to him what he had learned.

When Vice President Zhao heard You Guokai's question, he answered with certainty, "Old leader! This is absolutely true. According to the information I learned from the Finance Department, the Red Star Trading Company sent a telegram saying that it would take another week to receive the payment from America, so they transferred the payment they received back to China first."

If You Guokai didn't know that You Changzheng exchanged equipment for goods at full price, and that Red Star Trading Company didn't transfer all the payment back to China in time, he would definitely think that this was a very ordinary thing.

Now, after hearing what Vice President Zhao had introduced, and thinking of what You Changzheng had mentioned to him when he returned home for dinner some time ago, the two things were put together, and the shrewd You Guokai suddenly had an ominous premonition.

With this ominous premonition in his heart, You Guokai smiled and said, "Xiao Zhao! I know about this matter. I will call Chang Zheng later and ask him what is going on. Please keep an eye on it for me. If there is any situation, remember to call me as soon as possible."

When Vice President Zhao heard You Guokai's words, he immediately replied respectfully: "Old leader! Don't worry, if there is any situation here, I will definitely report it to you as soon as possible."

At the beginning, Wu Aiguo asked You Changzheng to be responsible for the preparation of year-end benefits. You Changzheng cursed in his heart and regretted that he had taken over the logistics work for power.

Originally, You Changzheng planned to call his father and ask him to help mobilize a batch of supplies. However, after he started to be in charge of exchanging equipment for goods, he got to know many factory managers. The purchasing work, which was originally as difficult as climbing a mountain for him, was easily solved as he got to know these factory managers.

Having completed the procurement of year-end benefits, You Changzheng felt proud. He was thinking about how to use this opportunity to undermine Wu Aiguo's prestige in the Trade Department.

"Dingling! Dingling! Dingling!"

Just as You Changzheng was sitting in his office, thinking about how to undermine Wu Aiguo's prestige, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

When You Changzheng heard the phone ring, he reached out to pick it up and asked in an official tone, "This is You Changzheng! Who is this?"

"Changzheng! I want to ask you, the purchasing channel you mentioned at home last time, was it introduced to you by your uncle-in-law?" As soon as You Changzheng finished asking, You Guokai's very majestic voice came from the phone.

When You Changzheng saw the old man suddenly asking about the purchasing channels, he was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Grandpa! Didn't I tell you last time at home? My uncle-in-law met an English businessman in Hong Kong. The equipment I used to exchange goods was all provided by that businessman."
