The Grandmother in the Siheyuan

Chapter 317 Hiding and Tucking
The deputy director finally realized that Liu Hua had been questioning him all along. This was not right. You are just an ordinary private business owner. How can you question me?
"Why are you asking me these questions?" The deputy district chief said unhappily, "These are things you should ask. I haven't asked you yet. I brought people to visit and maybe even invest in you. Why did you block me and my guests outside your factory? Is this how you treat guests?"

"Answer my question first." Liu Hua said seriously, "When were you transferred here? Do you know what is produced in this factory? Have you told Li Chaoren what is produced in the factory?"

The deputy district chief stared at Liu Hua for a while, his eyes were very determined and a little aggressive.

Soon, his momentum softened, and he muttered, "I have just been transferred here for more than a month. Li Chaoren was introduced to me by a friend. I only know that your factory produces high-tech materials, and he took the initiative to find your factory. If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that there was a factory producing high-tech materials in our area."

"It's over. A lot of people are going to suffer." Liu Hua shook his head. "You'd better go home now. The things produced in my factory are still confidential. They provide materials for the Ministry of Aerospace and the General Logistics Department. This is also something you should be concerned about. Have you reported this to your immediate superior?"

The deputy district chief felt that a disaster was imminent. This was not something he could really take care of, and he was a little at a loss.

After being stunned for a while, he nodded: "I, I will go back and report it now. What about Li Chaoren?"

"Take him back and tell him that we refuse to visit and want to cooperate with me. We have to apply to the higher-ups." Liu Hua said bluntly, "If the higher-ups agree, I can still discuss it. If they don't agree, tell him to get out of here as far as he can."

"it is good."

The deputy district chief turned and walked towards Li Chaoren. Liu Hua said from behind: "Tell him that even if the higher-ups agree to cooperate, I still don't agree."

As the deputy district chief walked back, he was brainstorming in his mind, wondering why this factory was so powerful and how to minimize his own responsibility.

When he walked in front of Li Chaoren, he had already regained his proper demeanor.

"Mr. Li, let's go back. This factory refuses visitors."

"what."

Seeing the deputy director's determined eyes, Li Chaoren could only back off. He was not the Li Chaoren he would be more than a decade later. At that time, he was at the peak of his career. If he wanted to visit a small factory, he might not be accompanied by a deputy district chief, but by a city leader.

After getting in the car, the deputy district chief stared at Li Chaoren and asked sternly: "Excuse me, how did you know about this factory? Who told you about it? Are you setting me up?"

"Where do you get that from? Li just wants to invest in a factory and serve the country."

The deputy district chief waved his hand and said, "Don't give me these high-sounding reasons. You have to know that you are a capitalist, a capitalist who seeks profit without any excuses. How can you have any good intentions? I tell you, we have hit a wall. I cannot escape responsibility, and you can't escape either."

The deputy district chief sighed and said, "Go back to the hotel when you get back. Don't hang around. I'll talk to you."

Li Chaoren asked in confusion: "Who wants to talk to me?"

"I don't know, but someone is bound to want to talk to you." The deputy district chief said angrily, "I have to wait for someone to want to talk to me too." After saying this, the car fell into dead silence. No one knew what the two people were thinking. The driver in front didn't dare to breathe, and had to hold back the itchy throat.

Looking at the car going away, Liu Hua sneered.

He remembered watching an interview in his previous life. The subject of the interview was naturally this Li Chaoren. This guy justified his lack of patriotism by saying that he was just doing business.

This guy took the real estate business as an example, saying that whether it was during the colonial rule of John's country, or the later Special Administrative Region, or when he went to the mainland to do business.

When auctioning the land, the government always adhered to the principle of the highest bidder wins and did not give him any privileges.

Since he does not enjoy any privileges and has always acted according to business practices, he does not need to consider too much about national strategies when doing any business. He only needs to adhere to the principle of profitability and the highest bidder wins.

This bastard has a good plan and is trying to clear himself.

He didn't even think about it. He said that Johns did business with him based on the principle of the highest bidder wins. But he didn't think carefully about whether those Johns would treat him as a human being if there hadn't been the flower growers stabbing him from behind and supporting the ordinary people of Hong Kong.

Later, his business expanded internationally to the United States. If he did not have the support of his motherland, the Americans would treat him like the Europeans have treated the Jews for thousands of years and treat him like a fat pig.

You have to know that there are some wealthy Chinese businessmen in the United States. Some of them committed crimes in their own country and went there to make money. These people have lost the support of their country. That's how the United States treats them. If they want to arrest them, they will put them in jail. If they want to impose a huge fine, they will impose a huge fine. If they want to rob, they will rob, and they don't even need to cover it up.

Liu Hua returned to the office and called the Science and Technology Commission and the General Logistics Department to report everything.

The leader of the General Logistics Department was silent for a few seconds and then said, "Don't worry about these messy things. Manage the factory well. The production steps must not be messed up. We must ensure our needs."

The leader of the Science and Technology Commission simply said, "Okay, I understand. I will handle the matter. In principle, we will never agree to your cooperation with foreign capital, even Hong Kong capital. If you are in urgent need of money, I can help you plan and see if you can get a loan."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Hua said to Lao Zhang: "Confidentiality in the factory is of utmost importance. Without permission, outsiders are not allowed to take a single step inside, especially into the workshop, even if they are district or city leaders."

"I understand." Old Zhang nodded fearfully: "I didn't quite understand it before, but now I really understand it."

"Relax, it's no big deal." Liu Hua said with a smile, "The confidentiality period won't be long. When our production capacity increases and we can fully meet the needs above, we can also sell it overseas. Then there will be no need to keep it confidential."

Lao Zhang nodded: "But, what's the point of this?"

Liu Hua smiled and said, "If the higher-ups asked us to keep it secret, then there must be a reason for it. Besides, our overall national strength is not strong right now, so we have to keep our belongings hidden. Otherwise, there will always be wolves who want to covet our wealth."
