Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 691 Benefits
What tasks will be assigned to Deputy Director Chang?
Of course, it was through his orders to the headquarters to put Shen Baozhen's lover under surveillance.

It's unclear whether this person has any issues or not. In any case, since they've come forward, let's monitor them to prevent them from running away again.

……

From the moment he was pinned down and handcuffed behind his back in his sleep in the early hours of the morning, Jiang Feiyang had been in a state of extreme panic.

For the first time, he understood what it felt like to be caught by the police after committing a crime, and a sense of panic immediately overwhelmed him.

Because he understood very well that his life was very likely coming to an end.

What struck him as odd was that the police who arrested him along the way didn't ask him a single question, didn't let him speak, and even forbade his wife and children from speaking to him. After returning to Zhengzhou, they even arranged for him to be escorted back to Beijing by plane.

This high-level arrangement did not make him happy; it only made him more worried.

What should I do?
He kept thinking about this question throughout the journey.

He knew very well that if his crimes were verified, even nine heads wouldn't be enough to stop him from being beheaded.

but……

Should we drag others down with us?
This has become the issue he needs to consider now.

Can dragging others down with you serve any purpose, such as saving your own life?

After returning to Beijing, should he confess everything like pouring out beans, or should he stubbornly hold back?

He knew he couldn't hold out for long; the key question was how long he could hold out, and whether those people would try to rescue him to save their own lives. Or rather…

Keep yourself silent forever.

When the plane landed at Beijing Airport, the police officers from Henan Province who were responsible for escorting him led him out of the plane first. When he saw that the people who came to pick him up were the chief of the Criminal Investigation Corps of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and a deputy director of the Municipal Supervisory Commission, Jiang Feiyang couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

These are the people I've been trying so hard to get to know but never had the chance to, and now they're all appearing in front of me one by one, even coming to pick me up in person. This is a kind of treatment that most people wouldn't get.

"You run like a rabbit, you're pretty fast. Don't you think about it? You break the law and then think you can just walk away to a foreign country and have a good time? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

After exchanging pleasantries with the comrades from Henan Province, Jin Zhihai walked up to Jiang Feiyang, who had been taken over by the people he had brought, and looked at him with a half-smile.

Jiang Feiyang, who had been looking down, looked up at the head of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, who had a particularly good relationship with the bureau chief and was said to have gotten promoted because of him.

"Whether I've broken the law or not seems to be up to you, Captain Jin."

Hey!
Jin Zhihai raised an eyebrow with interest, chuckled, and said, "Alright, let's let the facts speak for themselves."

With that, he waved his hand: "Take him away."

The commotion at the airport was quite significant. Soon, the news of Jiang Feiyang's arrest spread quickly among those who needed to know.

What exactly did this kid do? Outsiders don't know yet, but for the Public Security Headquarters to issue a nationwide arrest warrant, it can't be anything good.

This made some people restless.

……

On the other side, thanks to Li Yancheng's introduction, Mr. Fang from Hong Kong Island and Yang Aimin finally met Cheng Jianwen at the temporary office of Cheng's Group's Huaxia Company in Beijing.

The second young master of the Cheng family had also heard of this Boss Fang and greatly admired his boldness.

This Mr. Fang was one of the early Hong Kong businessmen to invest in mainland China. He wasn't among the super-rich in Hong Kong, but once he came to the mainland, he immediately started investing in factories and acquiring land to build hotels, investing tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. His audacity was astonishing.

More importantly, unlike many people who need to take out loans, all his investments in mainland China are in real money, and he has not taken out a single loan to date.

From the perspective of businessmen and capital utilization, his move was inappropriate and he cannot be considered a qualified businessman. However, from the perspective of the mainland, he is undoubtedly a high-quality investor.

I admire him, but discussing cooperation is another matter entirely.

After hearing what Mr. Fang wanted to say about the collaboration, Cheng Jianwen hesitated.

The courtyard I rented from my brother is very large, with a complete set of pavilions and terraces. Simply opening a private restaurant wouldn't make good use of the space. The suggestion to open a specialty hotel there is indeed a good idea.

You don't need to entertain many people. After all, whether it's a private restaurant or a hotel, you're only serving a small group of people. What you're pursuing is high value, not the ordinary.

But should we cooperate with this Mr. Fang?
Now that he has this idea, he can do it himself. Why bring others along to share his profits and future connections?

"So, Mr. Fang, what can you offer me? You should know very well that that little bit of money means nothing to me."

Cheng Jianwen asked very bluntly: "In business, if you want to share profits with me, you must at least bring me more benefits, even if those benefits are not measured in money."

"Connections, Mr. Cheng, I can bring you and the Cheng family connections."

Faced with Cheng Jianwen's question, Boss Fang answered without hesitation.

It was clear that he had made thorough preparations before coming, knowing that even if he wanted to spend more money, people might not take him along. After all, money was just a number to the successor of the Cheng family.

He knew very well what he should give.

"Oh?" Cheng Jianwen became a little interested when he heard him mention connections.

"I'd like to hear the details." "Mr. Cheng, it's clear that the Cheng Group is optimistic about the future development of Asia, or more precisely, they are optimistic about the future potential of the mainland. They are currently shifting their next phase of business focus to Asia."

I believe that over the past two years, you and the senior management of the Cheng Group have also noticed that Hong Kong Island is still somewhat xenophobic. It's such a small place, and the Cheng Group is such a behemoth; it's quite difficult for them to integrate into Hong Kong's social circles. Everyone is afraid of being swallowed whole by this dragon crossing the river.”

What Mr. Fang said was true. Over the years, the interests of all parties in Hong Kong Island have been almost completely seized. Although the Cheng family had a branch in Hong Kong Island before, the company's business focus has always been on Europe and the United States. For them, this place was just a transit point and they never really managed it well.

Things are different now. The Cheng family now wants to establish a presence in Hong Kong Island and shift their focus there. This is not something that can be done simply by setting up a company here; it requires them to have their own voice.

But gaining control of the discourse is not so easy. If you have it, I will have less. It's a zero-sum game. Who is willing to give up their vested interests? That's why those established families have been relentlessly pursuing and blocking the Cheng family's development in Hong Kong, leaving no stone unturned.

Although the Fang family, to which this Mr. Fang belongs, is neither an old-established family in Hong Kong nor one of the new four major families, the Fang family has been in Hong Kong for a long time and has a very large family influence. They have people all over the place and have a very wide network of connections.

If the Fang family is willing to use their connections to help the Cheng family gain a foothold in Hong Kong and get a share of the profits in a business related to basic public services, it would definitely be a good thing for the Cheng family.

But this Mr. Fang in front of me is just one of the many offspring of the Fang family. He can only be considered outstanding, but not the core. Can he really be of any help?

Or could he get the current head of the Fang family to willingly help the Cheng family?
Cheng Jianwen was deeply skeptical of this, so he didn't respond to Boss Fang's words. He simply waited quietly to see what Boss Fang was going to say next. If it was just empty talk, well, then he could just go cool off somewhere else.

"President Cheng, Fang Weiyi is my younger sister, born of the same mother. We have a very good relationship."

Upon hearing the name Fang mentioned, Cheng Jianwen was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused as to what was going on. So what if Fang Weiyi was his younger sister?
Ok?
He suddenly remembered a rumor he had heard in Hong Kong some time ago: a long-established family was planning to sell all their assets in Hong Kong and move to another country, where they had already purchased properties.

This family holds shares in several businesses related to people's livelihoods that the Cheng family desperately needs to establish a firm foothold in Hong Kong, such as water, electricity, gas, telecommunications, and public transportation.

The Cheng family certainly wanted to sell all the shares held by this family, even at a price higher than the market price, but the other party simply ignored them.

It is said that one of the new "Big Four" is raising funds to acquire all of the family's assets in Hong Kong.

If he remembered correctly, the current head of the family who was preparing to move away from Hong Kong Island was named Fang Weiyi, oh, and her husband's surname was added before her name.

The practice of women taking their husbands' surnames after marriage has largely disappeared among ordinary people in Hong Kong, but it still exists in large families, especially long-established ones, and this practice has not completely disappeared even decades later.

This situation is even more pronounced in Western countries, where women almost always add their husbands' surnames to their own names after marriage. As a result, many people there have increasingly longer full names, and the same goes for their daily lives.

in case……

Thinking of this, Cheng Jianwen's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Seeing his reaction, Boss Fang knew that this Mr. Cheng remembered. He smiled slightly and continued, "Mr. Cheng, if you are willing, I can act as an intermediary and introduce you to my brother-in-law."

I know the Cheng family is very interested in the shares he holds, and I can do my best to facilitate the deal. Of course, I also hope the Cheng family will take good care of him after his family moves to Australia.

The Cheng family owns mines and farms there. If his brother-in-law's family can get the Cheng family's help, they will be able to settle down very easily.

Mr. Fang's proposal tempted Cheng Jianwen. It was the Cheng family, not the Cheng Group, that wanted to gain a foothold in Hong Kong. If they could acquire that share, then the Cheng family would have a foothold in Hong Kong.

Although he was tempted, he couldn't agree immediately. He had to discuss it with Zhu Yongyang first, since Zhu Yongyang was his brother's man.

"Mr. Fang, I will think about what you've said carefully. Where do you live in Beijing? I'll send someone to contact you once I've thought it through."

Upon hearing Cheng Jianwen's words, Boss Fang subtly clenched his fist. He knew that this deal was basically secured. The reason why President Cheng hadn't agreed on the spot was probably because he needed to discuss it with that Mr. Zhu.

"Mr. Cheng, I know you have another partner. Could you please introduce us?"

Having promised this person benefits, we certainly couldn't favor one over the other. Otherwise, if that Zhu guy found out, it's unclear whether that person could succeed, but it would definitely ruin his plans.

Moreover, that person is very likely Director Li's man. He doesn't want to offend a big shot before he's even done anything. If he does, how can he possibly build connections here? He can only dream about it.

Cheng Jianwen understood what Boss Fang meant. He didn't have any other thoughts, which was normal. It would be strange if he hadn't been asked.

So he reached for the paper and pen and wrote two sets of numbers on them.

"These are Mr. Zhu's home and office phone numbers. When you contact him, just say that I introduced you."

"Thank you, Mr. Cheng." Mr. Fang took the paper with the phone number written on it, carefully folded it, and put it in his pocket.

"No need to be polite, Mr. Fang. That Mr. Zhu is quite a江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry). As far as I know, he has been involved in the black market since he was twelve or thirteen years old. You must know something about the situation on the mainland in the past. It would be impossible for him to thrive in that environment without some tricks up his sleeve."

He has extensive connections in Beijing, with influence in various industries, and he's not short of money. I hope Mr. Fang will be mindful when dealing with him; he's somewhat different from the other Chinese people you've met before.”

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Cheng. Regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, I will introduce you to my brother-in-law."

"Haha, then I'll thank you in advance, Boss Fang."

In return for kindness, friendships are reciprocal. Boss Fang could hear the good intentions in Cheng Jianwen's words, and while accepting the kindness, he also extended his own goodwill.

In his eyes, the CEO Cheng in front of him was the next chairman of Cheng's Group. If he could get along well with him, his business could become a link in Cheng's Group's industrial chain, and he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to sell the products he produced for many years to come.

As for the fact that many people on Hong Kong Island are xenophobic, including the Fang family, what does that have to do with him? Without destruction, there can be no construction. Only by breaking the old order can a new "leader" emerge.

Mr. Fang has such courage; otherwise, he wouldn't have been among the early investors from Hong Kong to the mainland.

Because he knew that if he stayed there, he would only be copying others and would never reach the top. He decided to venture out and try his luck. Although the risks were higher, the risks and rewards were proportional.
