In 1978, I was admitted to Harbin Institute of Technology

Chapter 346: Xie Wei Establishes International Security Company – Is He Preparing to Escape? The Leader is Panicking.
"Director Xie, he's really a good person..."

"Has an investigation been conducted?"

Xie Wei was well aware that the current systems were incomplete, and it was not surprising that various problems arose. At least Han Dongyang had not concealed anything in this matter, so he asked if He Qiang's background had been investigated.

"what?"

Han Dongyang's reaction told Xie Wei what the answer was.

"Director Xie, we are just a newly established unit. Even if we send someone to investigate, the military won't pay any attention to it... let alone information involving classified information."

"Okay, I'll have someone investigate."

Xie Wei then realized that in this era where identity information was not networked nationwide, it was very difficult to investigate a person, even if the other party was a murderer. Unless there was a nationwide arrest warrant and a photo, it would not be easy to be discovered in other places.

What was particularly difficult for Han Dongyang and others could be solved with just a word from Xie Wei.

The relationship between the school and the military is such that if you want to investigate a veteran, you can get it done with just one phone call from the superior to the subordinate.

"That?"

"Let him stay here for now, and pay him the salary of a security consultant. Also, I'll communicate with the military and ask them to recommend a group of retired soldiers to our security system..."

Xie Wei thought for a moment and then said, "There are some things that violate the rules, and even if everyone else is doing them, you can't do them. Otherwise, when opportunities arise in the future, these seemingly insignificant little things could very well become an insurmountable obstacle on your path to success."

Han Weiyang became excited.

Director Xie is trying to elevate himself and give himself a bright future!
The opportunity I've been waiting for has finally arrived.

"Director Xie, don't worry, I will definitely consult with you more often in the future... no, that's not right, I will consult with my superiors..."

Han Weiyang said excitedly that he originally thought that by reporting and asking Xie Wei for instructions on everything, he could not only learn more, but also take the opportunity to strengthen his connection with Xie Wei.

"Unless it's something of paramount importance, something you can't decide on yourself, or something you're unsure about, try not to bother your superiors. You're put in charge to solve problems, not to create them for them. Otherwise, how can you handle things independently?"

Han Weiyang was even more excited.

Xie Wei's words have made it very clear: He can stand on his own!
"The Wenxuan branch in Huadu has acquired so much land, not just to build a car dealership. Someone will come to you later, and you can take charge of that as well."

coming!

coming!

And so, Director Xie's important task came.

Sure enough, choice is more important than effort. Even if I didn't get into university, as long as I clung to Director Xie's powerful connections, my future would be limitless.

"Director Xie, please rest assured, I will definitely live up to your expectations, work hard, and continuously improve my professional skills..."

"Alright, alright. Let's leave it at that for now. Write a report on the situation here and submit it to the school-enterprise cooperation office. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

Xie Wei finished his tea and prepared to get up and leave.

The Huadu Wenxuan branch and the Shanghai branch are key pillars in the current school-enterprise-run commercial layout. Moreover, these two companies directly acquired a very large reserve of land in the early stages, which is also a plan to increase the value of the funds held by the school.

top priority.

Otherwise, Xie Wei wouldn't have made a special trip to Huadu.

The government's decision to halt the expansion of school projects presented Xie Wei with a significant opportunity to restructure the industry.

He needs to conduct a detailed understanding and research of all industries before making any adjustments.

"Director Xie, if the investigation into He Qiang is found to be without problems, what are your plans?"

"Whether it's Hong Kong or Iraq, the affiliated units of the school-enterprise cooperation office cannot keep people who have been expelled from the military."

"what?"

Xie Wei offered no explanation and simply got up and left.

He wouldn't let He Qiang go to Wang Zheng or Feng Ke's side until he had thoroughly investigated why He Qiang was discharged from the army. Feng Ke's side was better off and there wouldn't be too much of a problem, but Wang Zheng's side absolutely could not have any uncontrollable factors around him.

"Director Xie, why don't you have some food before you leave?"

"When you've done a good job and return to Harbin, I'll host a banquet for you at the Northern Mansion. I look forward to your early return to Harbin."

These words made Han Weiyang even happier.

Returning to Harbin meant he had been promoted.

The enterprises under the Harbin Institute of Technology's School-Enterprise Office, like other state-owned enterprises, also have administrative ranks. Although they are currently only at the deputy section chief level, for those who did not pass the college entrance examination after its resumption, it represents another path to politics.

Promotions in the school-enterprise cooperation office are definitely faster than direct entry into government departments.

The fastest path to advancement is for someone to be promoted to a certain level in the school-enterprise cooperation office and then transferred to the administrative system.

This is why Xie Wei, even after learning that He Qiang was very capable, still insisted that he could not stay here.

"Director Xie is gone? Not having lunch here?"

With a complicated expression, Qin Siyao watched Xie Wei hurriedly get into the car and leave, and then asked Han Weiyang.

"Ah."

"Is the matter resolved?"

"Ah."

"..."

Qin Siyao looked at Han Weiyang speechlessly, realizing she had asked for nothing.

"Director Xie said that you need to report to Harbin Institute of Technology in June, and the training course will start on July 1st..."

"Who cares?"

Qin Siyao looked nonchalant, but only realized what she meant after she finished speaking, "What? Go to the Harbin Institute of Technology's cadre training program?"

“Yes. If you’re not willing, I’ll find someone else. Harbin Institute of Technology’s cadre training program only admits 30 people each year, all of whom are young backbone members selected from subordinate units…the spots are very precious.”

"Go! Go! Go!"

Qin Siyao hurriedly said that she wanted to go.

Those grievances she had against Xie Wei had long since vanished.

now.

Long Yaohua was listening to Li Rui's report in his office.

"You mean Xie Wei will be away from school for the rest of the time?"

Long Yaohua originally had no idea about Xie Wei going to Huadu. Wang Zheng was doing well in Hong Kong. He made a profit of US$497.83 million from US$10 million by taking advantage of the sharp fluctuations in international oil prices during the Iran-Iraq War, first going long and then short, and then trading back and forth.

"The school has many projects, and Xie Wei said we can't just sit around doing nothing. Future funding will depend on the school-enterprise cooperation office... This trip to understand the situation led to adjustments in the school-enterprise cooperation office's operations, with some low-profit, high-investment technologies and industries being sold off directly..."

Li Rui answered.

Long Yaohua nodded; this was inevitable.

Military spending has been continuously reduced since 76.

As reform and opening up continued to advance, the demand for infrastructure investment continued to increase. When the country was short of money, the military had to suffer first, and the funds saved from cutting military spending were invested in infrastructure construction.

"Xie Wei sent a telegram requesting a company of retired reconnaissance soldiers."

"What?"

Long Yaohua thought he had misheard.

A whole company!

There are over a hundred people here, and they're all reconnaissance soldiers. Could it be that Xie Wei is planning to send this retired army to unify the Hong Kong underworld?
“Wang Zheng is being targeted by the underworld over there. Many gangs want to use Starry Sky Investment to bring their shady money into the open… As the profits from this investment spread, this amount of money is nothing to the wealthy, but to those gangs… We don’t have many people over there, and they are all on missions… Xie Wei’s idea is to establish an international security company…”

"Establish an international security company?"

Long Yaohua frowned. "What kind of weapons are they planning to equip?"

"That wasn't mentioned, but given Xie Wei's cautious nature, he'll definitely comply with Hong Kong's laws and regulations..."

"Who's in charge? The military?"

Long Yaohua frowned even more deeply.

Xie Wei's actions began to worry this veteran who had come from the battlefield: Could it be that Xie Wei was planning to flee abroad?

With a series of overseas deployments and the establishment of a security company, Xie Wei's meticulous and deliberate nature meant that even his experienced and astute superiors could not discern his true intentions until the very end.

"Xie Wei probably wouldn't have planned all of this for himself... If he knew, he would be heartbroken."

Seeing Long Yaohua's expression, Li Rui sighed silently, "The students the school arranged to study abroad were all based on Xie Wei's requirements. The top students weren't allowed to go abroad... He personally had no desire for it, and he was even strongly opposed to Xie Rou wanting to go abroad..."

It's not surprising that Long Yaohua has such thoughts.

In particular, the decision by higher authorities to halt the expansion of Harbin Institute of Technology was primarily driven by the military.

While school projects have been scaled back, military projects continue and still account for the majority of the school's overall research projects.

"I don't understand why he's now so focused on overseas expansion."

"There wasn't much of a focus, was there? Just Desheng, Xingkong, and then setting up a computer company and a security company..."

Li Rui hurriedly explained.

"How do you explain Feng Ke's matter?"

“…” Li Rui fell silent.

He truly couldn't explain what happened to Feng Ke.

Xie Wei didn't explain to him. Based on Li Rui's understanding of Xie Wei, Xie Wei wouldn't do something he wasn't sure of. Since he asked for help in making arrangements and also wanted to protect Feng Ke's safety, it meant that this matter was really important.

"Tell him not to rush to Shanghai, but to come back first. The reconnaissance soldier who retired from the army should have arrived in Huadu by now, right?"

Li Rui nodded.

Since Long Yaohua brought it up directly, it meant that the matter would be difficult to get approval from other leaders.

"By the way, regarding He Qiang, whom he asked to investigate, I have already contacted the relevant departments. The information will be sent to you in three days at most. You can go see him then."

Long Yaohua called out to Li Rui as he was leaving.

"clear.

Li Rui truly understood Long Yaohua's meaning: as long as Xie Wei didn't flee abroad, the higher-ups would fully support what he wanted to do. But if he really intended to go abroad…

Sending Li Rui was also a way for Long Yaohua to take care of Xie Wei's feelings.

Chemical Industry Bureau Guesthouse.

Xie Wei waited here for three days. Yuan Zhenyue, Huang Zhijie and others had finalized the details of the joint venture. They were just waiting to return to Hong Kong and then use another company with funds to make their move. All the formalities had to be followed.

At the same time, he drove around Huadu in the early 80s, not to experience what this future megacity looked like before it was developed, but to learn about the future development plans of the school-enterprise office.

The strategic layout in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen must be planned ahead of schedule.

Not to mention the Northeast, even the entire North will not be able to compare with the South in terms of commercial development in the next few decades.

Xie Wei is now deeply aware of the saying, "Don't invest beyond the Shanhaiguan Pass."

"Remember this: the only principle when you're out there is to protect yourself. You have to learn to be a capitalist..."

Xie Wei is discussing with Wang Zheng the precautions for investing in Hong Kong.

By this time, Wang Zheng was no longer so resistant to capitalists.

"Do~Do~Do~"

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Director Xie, the people you've been waiting for have arrived. There are 12 people in total, and they're all outside."

Zhao Liangyu said to Xie Wei.

"coming?"

Wang Zheng immediately became excited.

After waiting for several days, the person finally arrived.

If it weren't for waiting for someone, he would have gone to Hong Kong long ago, and Xie Wei also stayed here for a few more days.

"Let's go, your assigned security personnel have arrived. From now on, they will be responsible for your safety... and their salaries will be paid by the company."

In the lobby of the Chemical Industry Bureau's guesthouse, 12 young men dressed in civilian clothes stood ramrod straight, their buzz cuts standing out starkly against their surroundings.

"Director Xie, Zhou Zhiyong and his team are reporting for duty!"

When Xie Wei appeared, a young man in his early thirties at the front of the line took a step forward, straightened his back, and gave a very standard military salute.

As he saluted, the remaining 11 team members instantly stood even straighter, as if receiving an inspection from their superiors.

Xie Wei did not return the greeting. "Captain Zhou, you have already retired."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiyong's expression changed instantly.

Seeing that many people were watching from a distance, Xie Wei turned to Zhao Liangyu beside him and said, "Let's take everyone to the guesthouse conference room to rest for a while."

Then he turned to Zhou Zhiyong and said, "Captain Zhou, let's talk privately first."

He didn't rush to introduce Wang Zheng, nor did he tell everyone Wang Zheng's identity. If Zhou Zhiyong and the others couldn't change their mindset and became Wang Zheng's bodyguards and company security personnel after arriving in Hong Kong, it would be easy to tell from their current style.

"Captain Zhou, did the person who arranged for you to come explain the mission to you?"

Xie Wei led Zhou Zhiyong and Wang Zheng to the reception room, but still did not introduce Wang Zheng's identity. Instead, he asked Zhou Zhiyong if he knew about the mission.

"Director Xie, we just retired, and our superiors told us to come here to report to you."

Even though Xie Wei was younger than him, Zhou Zhiyong still showed him full respect and used honorifics.

"Since you've retired, you're no longer a soldier. You're just here to be assigned a job..."

Xie Wei explained his thoughts: "In other words, you can hold yourselves to the standards of military conduct and even train according to them, but you can no longer act like soldiers. Understand?"

"Director Xie, your request is contradictory in itself!"

Zhou Zhiyong frowned.

He understood every word Xie Wei said, but when they were put together to form a sentence, he couldn't understand it.

"There's no contradiction. You've already retired from the military and no longer need to follow military discipline. Now it's work, not a mission... If you can't change your mindset, it will not only cause trouble for the people you're protecting, but also for the country..."

Xie Wei explained it to Zhou Zhiyong in detail.

Wang Zheng, standing to the side, was puzzled, but he didn't speak. Instead, he silently pondered the message Xie Wei had revealed.

Isn't he the same?
Zhou Zhiyong pondered the meaning behind Xie Wei's words. Time passed slowly, but Xie Wei did not urge him. He took out cigarettes and offered them to Wang Zheng and Zhou Zhiyong. Wang Zheng, with great insight, lit up the Zippo lighter that he had stolen from Li Rui from Xie Wei for Xie Wei and Zhou Zhiyong.

Xie Wei's lips twitched as he looked at the lighter in Wang Zheng's hand.

This thing was captured by Li Rui from the battlefield.

That bastard Wang Zheng has been asking Xie Wei if he smokes whenever he gets the chance these past few days, just to provoke Xie Wei with this lighter.

"Director Xie, I understand."

After smoking three cigarettes in a row, Zhou Zhiyong looked up with a serious expression. Before Xie Wei could speak, he quickly asked, "Director Xie, I would like to know whether our future organizational affiliation will be domestic or international."

“From now on, he is your boss. Wang Zheng was previously the director of the Industry-University Cooperation Office at Harbin Institute of Technology, and is now the owner of Xingkong Investment Company. He is from Hong Kong…”

Xie Wei did not answer directly, but pointed to Wang Zheng next to him and introduced him to Zhou Zhiyong.

The tone of "Hong Kong people" was deliberately emphasized.

A bitter smile appeared on Zhou Zhiqiang's face. He finally understood that this boss, who was also younger than him and was following Xie Wei, was carrying out the same task as him, only with different identities and positions.

"Captain Zhou, I'll be relying on you from now on."

Wang Zheng quickly stood up and sincerely extended his hand to Zhou Zhiyong, "From now on, it will be basically 6000 Hong Kong dollars per month..."

"How many?"

Zhou Zhiqiang's eyes widened suddenly.

6000!

Hong Kong dollars!

So, I'm also contributing to the country's foreign exchange earnings?
These 12 people brought in over HK$70,000 in foreign exchange for the country in a month, and nearly HK$1 million a year.

"6000 Hong Kong dollars, which is about 2000 RMB."

Xie Wei added from the side.

"so much?"

Zhou Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment.

He was a battalion-level officer, and his monthly salary in the army was only 80 yuan. Even with various allowances, it barely exceeded 100 yuan.

Even after being transferred to civilian work, one would only become a first-level clerk, unable to even reach the level of deputy section chief.

A first-level clerk receives an administrative grade 19 salary of 78 yuan per month.

Go to Hong Kong to work as a bodyguard and your salary will increase more than 20 times!
The enormous impact left Zhou Zhiqiang stunned for quite a while.

After a while, he realized that with such a high salary, being a bodyguard probably wouldn't be easy.

"Is this money earned by risking one's life?"

"Can't talk about it."

Xie Wei shook his head. "If they don't want to, we won't force them. If they take this money, they must do their best to ensure Wang Zheng's safety, while also taking care of their own safety. You can talk to them and say that if they don't want to, it's not too late to back out now."

Zhou Zhiqiang looked at Xie Wei with a serious expression and said, "I need to discuss this with my other comrades."

Xie Wei directly told Zhou Zhiqiang to go to the conference room to discuss with the others. Once they went to Hong Kong, it might not just be Hong Kong. Sometimes Wang Zheng had to travel all over the world, and he could face various security issues at any time.

very dangerous.

Therefore, he asked Wang Zheng to offer a basic salary of HK$6000, plus bonuses, so that his monthly income would be at least HK$10,000.

"Xie Wei, what if they think it's too dangerous and don't want to go?"

Wang Zheng asked Xie Wei with concern, "We've already received several threatening letters... There are a few people I didn't want to see, but I had no choice but to meet them..."

"Haha~"

Hearing Wang Zheng's concerns, Xie Wei seemed to find it a huge joke and asked Wang Zheng with great amusement, "Do you think they're afraid of danger?"
