In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 131 Director Xie joined the game and was taken to the detention center

"Director Hu, this is the situation. The Hongguang Factory's price cut this time is completely disregarding our lives... Xie Jianguo is sacrificing state property to achieve his goal of striking down his competitors..."

Looking at the silent Hu Chunlin, Luo Chengye exaggerated the story of the price reduction at Hongguang Factory.

"Xie Jianguo is stubborn, and there's nothing I can do about it."

Looking at Luo Chengye, Hu Chunlin felt powerless.

He seemed to be a very smart person before, but how come he was so stupid in this matter and was played around by a technician like Xie Jianguo who had no management experience?

Even I was implicated.

"What I asked you to do before..."

"Hasn't someone already reported him? Do we have evidence?"

Luo Chengye said hurriedly, "If we were reported, the public security department would intervene, and Hongguang Factory would not have cut prices on such a large scale!"

Hearing this, Hu Chunlin raised his eyebrows.

"Xie Jianguo has been arrested."

"what?"

Now it was Luo Chengye's turn to be dumbfounded. He stared at Hu Chunlin in bewilderment for several seconds, "Xie Jianguo has been arrested, how could it be..."

He had never expected this outcome.

In his opinion, as long as Xie Jianguo was arrested, Hongguang Factory would not put any pressure on them.

"This should be a plan made by Xie Jianguo before he was arrested. It is difficult for others to interfere whether Xie Jianguo is in Hongguang Factory or not. When Xie Jianguo became the factory director, the first thing he did was to replace all the management cadres in the factory."

Seeing Luo Chengye's reaction, Hu Chunlin was even more disappointed.

The reason why he told Luo Chengye directly was to see if Luo Chengye had any other plans.

The answer obviously disappointed him.

"But……"

"Director Luo, if we can't find more evidence of Xie Jianguo's crimes, the police won't be able to detain him for long just because of an expensive mink coat. Xie Jianguo has not confessed anything and hasn't even given an explanation..."

"Not explaining the problem will only lead to more problems! A mink coat like that is not cheap, and Xie Jianguo's family income can't even support it..."

Luo Chengye's meaning was very clear, he wanted to make a fuss about this mink coat.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to obtain more evidence of Xie Jianguo’s violations, it’s just that he can’t find any.

From the very beginning, they knew that if Xie Jianguo invited them to dinner and drinks, he would not refuse, but if they wanted to give him gifts, he would not accept them at all.

Even after becoming the factory director, Xie Jianguo did not use his position to place his relatives in the factory, nor did he use the factory's various benefits to send his family home.

"You go and think of a solution first, and I'll find out more."

Looking at Luo Chengye, Hu Chunlin was completely disappointed.

"By the way, the Canton Fair is coming soon. Is your factory ready?"

After Luo Chengye walked to the office door, Hu Chunlin stopped him.

"Ah...I'm ready."

Luo Chengye was stunned. Since before the Chinese New Year, other factories had been snatching customers with lower prices than Hongfeng Factory, and all the previous payments from Hongfeng Factory were distributed as a Chinese New Year benefit.

The 400 million loan was there, and with the various equipment coming back, in order to speed up capacity construction, this matter had long been forgotten.

He thought Hu Chunlin was reminding him that the Canton Fair was Hongfeng Factory's last chance to turn things around.

As long as we can obtain export orders and earn foreign exchange for the country, even if we sell at cost price, the foreign exchange subsidy is profit.

"Alas! How could I have been so mistaken at the beginning!"

Looking at Luo Chengye's reaction, Hu Chunlin's heart sank to the bottom.

After thinking for a long time in the office, he called his secretary and asked him to contact Wei Guobing and prepare to have a talk with him.

"Director Hu, if Xie Jianguo violated discipline, he should be punished by law, not discussed here."

Xie Jianguo greeted him, and Wei Guobing knew what was going on, so he naturally didn't want to talk more with Hu Chunlin.

Hu Chunlin obviously wanted to take this opportunity to get Hongguang Factory to adjust its prices to prevent Hongfeng Factory from being overwhelmed by the 400 million yuan loan.

"Comrade Guotao, Hongguang Factory is a subordinate unit of the Industrial Bureau, and so is Hongfeng Factory..."

"correct."

Wei Guobing nodded seriously, agreeing with Hu Chunlin's opinion.

"The Canton Fair is coming soon. The subordinate units of the bureau are competing fiercely for the market. The foreigners are getting the benefits, but the country is losing foreign exchange!"

"How can it be cheaper for foreigners? Director Hu, Hongguang Factory is a pilot unit. They are responsible for their own profits and losses. If there is no profit in the price they set, they will not sell it. The cadres, employees and their families in the factory are waiting for the factory to make a profit to pay their wages!"

"..."

Now it was Hu Chunlin's turn to be speechless.

The other party hinted that he had previously blocked Hongguang Factory from expanding its production capacity and secretly pressured Hongguang Factory to transfer its production technology and processes to other factories.

No matter what Hu Chunlin said, Wei Guohen remained unmoved.

The other party is of a higher level than you, so you should show him/her due respect.

As Xie Jianguo said, the behavior of Hongfeng Factory has crossed their bottom line. If they do not fight back, no matter what products Hongguang Factory develops in the future, someone will imitate them.

Not only will it be detrimental to the development of Hongguang Factory, it will also prevent Harbin Institute of Technology from receiving funds for technology development.

That is what Xie Jianguo cannot tolerate.

At least, in the next few years, my son needs this money to maintain his voice in school.

Hu Chunlin took the initiative to find Wei Guobing, but they ended up parting on bad terms.

Through Wei Guobing's attitude, he knew more clearly that Xie Jianguo did not make any excuses this time and was arrested at his secret instruction, which was most likely a conspiracy.

Just release it like this?

Or should we continue to ask people to find evidence of Xie Jianguo’s illegal activities?

For a moment, Hu Chunlin became melancholy.

"Wang Zheng, Director Xie really didn't tell you the details? He even hid it from me?"

Looking at Wang Zheng in front of him, Wei Guobing was full of helplessness.

Although Wang Zheng is not as unreasonable as Xie Jianguo and seems honest, he is actually more difficult to deal with than Xie Jianguo and never shows any emotion on his face.

strong ability.

Better ability to control emotions.

In fact, no leader likes such subordinates.

But there was no way. Xie Jianguo trusted Wang Zheng, and Wang Zheng was promoted by Xie Jianguo. Even if Wei Guobing had some objections, he could only keep them to himself, unless he wanted to create a conflict with Xie Jianguo.

"Director Wei, I really don't know. After Director Xie was arrested, I went there several times but never saw him!"

Director Xie explained that even Liu Mei could not tell any more truth.

What about Deputy Director Wei?
Once Deputy Director Wei finds out, the results may not meet expectations.

"Have you contacted Harbin Institute of Technology? If Xie Wei bought that mink coat..."

"It was bought by Director Xie!"

Before Wei Guobin could finish speaking, Wang Zheng's firm answer interrupted him.

Hearing this, Wei Guobing knew there must be something hidden, and looked at Wang Zheng sincerely, "Director Xie talked to me before about solving these problems. If you don't tell me the details, how can I cooperate with you?"

Seeing Deputy Director Wei's sincere face, Wang Zheng almost told him the truth.

But in the end, thinking of what Director Xie, who had promoted him, had said, he shook his head and said, "Director Wei, I really don't know anything."

Wei Guobing was furious.

But there is nothing we can do.

In desperation, he prepared to go to the detention center to see Xie Jianguo.

At this time, there is no regulation that requires "providing explanations and clarifications on issues related to supervision matters at the specified time and place."

Xie Jianguo was reported to have embezzled state property and used the cooperation with Harbin Institute of Technology to secretly seek personal benefits, and was directly taken to the police station. Because he refused to explain the problem, the price of Liu Mei's mink coat did exceed Xie Jianguo's income, and he was put in the detention center again.

No visits from relatives are allowed.

Wei Guohan was no longer in the range of not allowing visitors. "Director Wei, why are you here?"

Seeing Wei Guobing looking at him seriously, the energetic Xie Jianguo greeted him with a smile, "These few days are the most comfortable time since I became the factory director. I don't have to worry about the development of the factory, how to get more benefits for the cadres and employees, and even less about..."

"Okay! You know why I'm here. I'm leading a team to the Canton Fair tomorrow."

Xie Jianguo seems to be having a good time in the detention center.

Leading cadres who have not committed serious crimes will be given preferential treatment.

"what?"

Xie Jianguo looked at Wei Guobing with a confused expression, indicating that he had no idea why he came.

Wei Guobing was furious. "What on earth are you up to? You have to do this. If you are really sentenced, have you ever thought about the impact on Xie Wei and Xie Rou?"

He knew clearly where Xie Jianguo's weakness was.

Xie Jianguo had told him before that he wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and Wei Guobing supported this.

But this does not include Xie Jianguo getting involved and sending himself to a detention center or jail.

He was aware of the cooperation agreement between Hongguang Factory and Harbin Institute of Technology. The bureau also had a backup, and before the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, there were still people who could seize the opportunity to make trouble.

During the reform and opening-up period, even though the Hongguang Factory did not become a pilot project, this kind of cooperation plan was still an exploration.

Just because of a mink coat?
Deputy Director Wei obviously wouldn't believe it was that simple.

"Why haven't you thought about it?"

Xie Jianguo raised his eyebrows.

If he really got into trouble, he would indeed worry about affecting his children's future prospects, but his plan...

"Old Xie, I think the only reason I didn't handle Xu Zhihui's matter quickly at the beginning..."

"Director Wei, let's put things in perspective. Xu Zhihui's previous behavior in the factory was known to everyone. As a leading cadre, as long as he is not too anxious, he would not have so much energy. I can understand that."

"..."

Xie Jianguo's sarcasm left Wei Guohen speechless.

At the beginning, Xu Zhihui almost prevented Xie Wei from going to college. Before that, the newly appointed deputy director Wei Guobin had received many reports. However, because he had just arrived and did not understand the situation and had few people available, he had never dealt with them.

He could understand that Xie Jianguo was resentful.

But at this moment...

"Director Wei, this is how it is. This is human nature. They can eat meat and live a good life, but they want others to have to eat coarse food. When Hongfeng Factory was doing well before, they didn't think that Hongguang Factory couldn't afford to pay wages. Hongguang Factory finally had a better life through cooperation, but what about them?"

"What do you want?"

After listening to this, Wei Guobin was silent for a long time, and then asked Xie Jianguo seriously.

"The Hongfeng factory has expanded its production capacity, but the Hongguang factory is too small after all, so any achievements it makes should be made for others."

Xie Jianguo's words left Wei Guobing speechless.

This is true.

Hongfeng Factory aggressively demanded technology and exerted various pressures on Hongguang Factory. When it failed to get what it wanted, it directly copied Hongguang Factory's products and directly snatched Hongguang Factory's customers by drastically reducing prices.

The behavior is very bad.

Even so, Hu Chunlin and others still protected the Hongfeng Factory.

The reason is that the Hongfeng factory is larger in scale.

Xie Jianguo does not want to bring down the Hongfeng Factory, but to annex the Hongfeng Factory!

After understanding Xie Jianguo's true purpose, Wei Guobing was horrified.

But if it is just for this purpose, it won’t be like this.

Thinking about the fact that he was leading a team to participate in the Canton Fair this time, and the orders from the Canton Fair had already been secured, Wei Guobing knew about it. The orders had been obtained since before the New Year and had been kept highly confidential.

I'm afraid that since then, Xie Jianguo had already planned: to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Hu Chunlin!
Only when Hu Chunlin is removed from office and Wei Guobing takes over, will it be possible for Hongguang Factory to merge with Hongfeng Factory.

"Although I thought I didn't underestimate Xie Jianguo, he is more cunning than I thought!"

After coming out of the detention center, Wei Guobing's thoughts became complicated.

Xie Jianguo did not tell him the purpose directly, but he analyzed it out.

The entire Industrial Bureau knew about the conflict between Hu Chunlin and him.

"Since you're worried that I won't want to join you, you take the lead and I'll follow suit."

After figuring it all out, Wei Guobing no longer remained silent as before, but went directly to the post office and sent a telegram to the Harbin Institute of Technology's School-Enterprise Office at his own expense. He did not give a detailed introduction to the situation, but only told them that Xie Jianguo was arrested because of the cooperation between Hongguang Factory and Harbin Institute of Technology.

Afterwards, several provincial industrial department leaders were contacted.

I was busy until late at night before going home.

The next morning, I boarded a train heading south.

After Xie Jianguo of Hongguang Factory was arrested, several other senior executives either went to participate in the Canton Fair or were sent out to explore markets or other areas. There was no one left in the entire factory who could make decisions.

"I just don't believe it. Everyone in Hongguang Factory is united! Tell them that as long as they can provide evidence of Xie Jianguo's violation of discipline, not only can we promote him, but we can also arrange recruitment quotas for his relatives and friends!"

With the price reduction, the insufficient production capacity of Hongguang Factory was once again exposed.

Other factories that obtained technology and production processes from Hongguang Factory have higher costs than Hongguang Factory but lower costs than Hongfeng Factory, so their prices are naturally lower than Hongfeng Factory.

Although the business is not booming, we are able to operate at full capacity thanks to the orders allocated to us by the Hongguang Factory.

Luo Chengye naturally didn't want to just watch.

"Director, why don't we have a good talk with Director Xie..."

Hou Yongjun's face looked even more worried.

During this period, he had been looking for various evidences of Xie Jianguo's violations of discipline in accordance with Luo Chengye's requirements. After gaining an in-depth understanding of the changes in the entire Hongguang Factory after Xie Jianguo became the factory director, he could not help but begin to reflect on the problems of the Hongfeng Factory.

In his opinion, Hongfeng Factory can have a better future only if it learns from Hongguang Factory's approach, rather than following and imitating Hongguang Factory, which will only put it in a more passive situation.

Just like now.

Luo Chengye wanted to merge the Hongguang Factory into the Hongfeng Factory.

"Talk? How can we talk? Will someone like Xie Jianguo care about the life and death of Hongfeng Factory?"

"..."

Luo Chengye didn't know how to answer. Looking at the somewhat distorted Luo Chengye, Hou Yongjun said directly: "Director, I have thought of all the solutions I can think of... You can find someone else for this matter. I'd better find a way to sell the overstocked products in the warehouse."

"If we don't deal with Xie Jianguo, how can we sell it?"

Luo Chengye didn't think Hou Yongjun would betray him.

With Hu Chunlin's support, Hongfeng Factory became a place where Luo Chengye had the final say after he became the factory director.

Hou Yongjun did not comment, he really didn't want to waste time on this.

Reform and opening up have all taken place.

It is no longer the same as before. This approach is not feasible.

······
"What? Is this a mistake? Why was my dad arrested? Is he still in the detention center?"

Looking at Li Rui in front of him, Xie Wei was suddenly shocked.

The old man was taken to the detention center, which was something he had never thought about.

Whether before or after Xie Jianguo came to school, Xie Wei emphasized to him that it is easier to earn income legally.

There is no need to do things that may have serious consequences, the cost outweighs the gain.

But now Li Rui told him that his father had been arrested.

"what reason?"

"That mink coat the school gave him as a reward for your achievements. The school even gave him the invoice. Even if he doesn't recognize the invoice, as long as you explain it, there shouldn't be such a problem!"

Li Rui also looked confused.

He didn't understand why Xie Jianguo was put in the detention center just because of a mink coat.

It's so abnormal.
