Chapter 1008 The plot begins

Suning's trip abroad this time was indeed to inspect its own industries. Although most of its investments in Southeast Asia are just a cover, the steel mills and shipyards in Brazil and Australia are real.

Since Europe, the United States and other countries were eager to retire a large number of warships after World War II, the urgency can be said to be close to a tearful sale. This time, Suning saw many high-quality warships in shipyards in Australia and Yangon.

Of course, those technologically backward and dilapidated warships were all converted into cargo ships in Australian shipyards, while those still advanced and high-quality warships were all overhauled in the Yangon Shipyard.

After taking over this batch of second-hand warships from European and American countries, the shipping company under the Su Group immediately became the world's number one shipping company, and the Su Group's flag is almost spread across the busiest ports in countries around the world.

In 1948, after more than a year away from Beijing, Suning returned here again, but found that everything and people had changed. Perhaps Beijing was in an era of rapid change.

Lucas brought Su Ning to the new house in Zhima Hutong, Sijiucheng. "Master, this house was bought from Yan Zhensheng. After some meticulous renovation, you can now move in."

"Very good! Is Yan Zhensheng's condition better now?" Suning was very satisfied with Lucas's decoration of this place, which completely met his requirements for modern life.

"Although Yan Zhensheng's life was saved, he still suffers from the aftereffects of the stroke. Baofeng, Lin Cuiqing's personal maid, is still caring for him."

"Well, where's Boss Yu?"

"Yan Zhensheng and the old man of the Yu family sold their real estate and shares in Qinfangju to raise funds to rescue Boss Yu from prison. Unfortunately, due to repeated extortion by the police and the Bureau of Secrets, not only did the Yan and Yu families go bankrupt, but Boss Yu was also shot by the police six months ago."

"Damn the Secret Service and the Police Department."

"Master, without your instruction, we did not rescue Boss Yu."

"Don't worry! There must be a lot of people watching our Jieyou Grocery Store right now. The secret service's devils are probably hoping that we will take action so that they can throw dirty water on us."

"Master, since Wan Linsheng is so abominable, should we just kill him?"

"Don't worry! This guy's life is already in the countdown, so let's focus on our own affairs."

"Yes! Master."

Suning’s secretariat now has three secretaries, namely Mu Chunhua, Sang Hong and Xian Yi. These three beauties have already been preliminarily trained.

Among the three of them, Xian Yi made the fastest progress. After all, her father Xian Dengkui provided her with a high-quality education, so she was naturally very quick in learning things.

Now that Xian Yi has been trained by him, Su Ning naturally won't just treat her as a confidante. "Xian Yi, the industries in Sijiu City are concentrated in the Jieyou Grocery Store and the Xingchenhai Hotel. Which one do you want to be responsible for?"

"Sir, I heard that there are many factories in New Taipei City. How about I be in charge of these factories?" Xian Yi, who had been mentally prepared, was more interested in managing the factories.

"I already have a candidate at the factory, so don't let your imagination run wild."

"Who?"

"Actually, Xian Yi, you also know this person. He is Zheng Chaoyang, who once did business with your father."

"Zheng Chaoyang? Isn't he the section chief of the Beiping Police Department?"

"You don't need to know the details! He won't be able to continue working soon anyway, so I reserved a position for him in advance."

"Sir, will Zheng Chaoyang agree?"

"I think so! After all, the conditions I offered him are not low."

Xian Yi naturally didn’t know the plot of “Glorious Times”, and of course she didn’t know the source of Su Ning’s confidence. Anyway, she just liked this kind of confidence in Su Ning.

When she first entered Suning's secretarial office, she quickly learned about the specific scope of work and even witnessed a day in the life of Sang Hong as a female secretary.

However, Xian Yi, who had already prepared herself mentally, gradually accepted it and began her tense and exciting secretary career.

……

Sure enough, Zheng Chaoyang soon faced the risk of being exposed, and then there was a series of thrilling escapes. It can be seen that Zheng Chaoyang is really a rare talent.

"Mr. Su, we meet again." Zheng Chaoyang didn't expect that he would meet Su Ning this time. After all, many people in the city wanted to meet this big shot.

"Chief Zheng, are you here to order goods again this time?" Su Ning asked Zheng Chaoyang in front of him, knowing the answer.

"No! I believe you, Mr. Su, have guessed my identity. Now I have been exposed in Sijiu City. Wan Linsheng from the Bureau of Secrets is hunting me down everywhere, so I need your help to escape from Sijiu City." Zheng Chaoyang then stated his request without any hesitation.

"Oh? Why did you come to me for help? I remember that you have a very good relationship with Xian Dengkui." In the original drama, Zheng Chaoyang relied on threats to make Xian Dengkui send him out of the city, but he was tricked by Xian Dengkui who had ulterior motives.

"Mr. Su, Xian Dengkui has gone to Hong Kong now. I can only come to you for help now, so I hope you can help me."

"Zheng Chaoyang, sending you out of the city is actually quite simple, but I'm wondering if you'd ever consider changing jobs?"

"Change jobs? My unique situation means I have no say in the matter."

"You also know that I own a lot of industries. There are no less than a hundred factories around the city alone, so I need someone who can manage these industries for me."

"Mr. Su, you don't want to hire me, do you? I have no experience in managing a factory or doing business."

"That's right! I want to hand these factories over to you. You should know that the goods currently shipped to the Soviet Union are all produced by the factories in the Forbidden City."

"This..." As expected, Zheng Chaoyang couldn't help but feel a little excited at this moment. Controlling so many factories at once could be of far-reaching significance.

"Well, you go back and think about it slowly. I believe we will meet again soon." Anyway, he just wanted Zheng Chaoyang to be mentally prepared, and he was not really in a hurry to cooperate with him more deeply.

"Okay! I will definitely consider it carefully."

Then Suning directly gave Zheng Chaoyang a new ID and arranged for a makeup artist to put makeup on Zheng Chaoyang, and then sent a car to escort Zheng Chaoyang out of the city.

"Chief Zheng, our boss has arranged for us to take you directly to your destination. Do you need our vehicle to escort you?"

"No need! Just drop me off in front. Someone is waiting there to pick me up."

"it is good."

The vehicle quickly arrived at the destination Zheng Chaoyang had mentioned. After the escort dropped Zheng Chaoyang off, they turned around and left without hesitation. At this moment, Hao Pingchuan and the others, who had been hiding in the dark, stepped forward, looked at Zheng Chaoyang inquiringly, and asked, "Hello! I'm Hao Pingchuan."

"Hao Pingchuan? I'm Zheng Chaoyang." Zheng Chaoyang also looked at Hao Pingchuan in front of him with excitement.

"Great! We finally meet." Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan both hugged each other without hesitation. After all, the Chinese people's minds have not yet been polluted by Western ideas.

"Yeah! It's not easy."

"Zheng Chaoyang, what was that car just now?" After calming down from the excitement, Hao Pingchuan looked in the direction where the car disappeared and asked in confusion.

"Someone sent by Su Ning, the boss of the Su Group."

"Suning? Is that the international businessman who provided us with a large amount of penicillin and self-heating rice?" At this moment, Hao Pingchuan's eyes lit up, he was really impressed by the taste of the self-heating rice.

"Yes! It's him! Self-heating rice is delicious, right?" Zheng Chaoyang naturally understood Hao Pingchuan's mentality, mainly because the self-heating rice tasted so good.

"Haha, it's delicious, but I can only eat it when I win a battle."

"I'll definitely have the chance to eat there every day in the future. I heard that the Su Group is planning to build a factory in Sijiu City."

"Building a factory? Specializing in producing self-heating rice?"

"Yes! I heard there are other fast foods, many of which I have never heard of."

"Oh my! That would be great! From now on, fighting a war will be just like traveling."

After Zheng Chaoyang and Hao Pingchuan successfully reunited, they soon returned to their base smoothly, and then met their superior Luo Yong here.

As soon as Luo Yong saw his two generals, he excitedly announced the new work arrangements. "Zheng Chaoyang, the leadership has discussed and decided to send you to the Xibaipo Police Training Class."

"Lao Luo, I may not be able to be a policeman in the future." At this time, Zheng Chaoyang suddenly looked at Lao Luo with a smirk on his face and said.

"Why? Is it just that you don't like it?" Lao Luo asked Zheng Chaoyang with an unhappy look on his face.

"Lao Luo, do you still remember Su Ning from the Su Group?"

"I remember! They're international merchants from Albania. I heard they have a mysterious background and are incredibly powerful. They claim there's nothing they can't get."

"That's right! What you don't know is that his strength is more than that. He can provide us with a variety of advanced equipment and production lines, and he also wants to hire me to be in charge of all the factories of the Su Group around Sijiu City."

"Oh? This Suning trusts you so much?"

"Actually, I haven't had many interactions with him. Most of my transactions were handled with that manager, Lucas. I guess he valued my status."

"Zheng Chaoyang, do you mean to say that he has always known your origins?"

"Of course! Otherwise he wouldn't have given me so many discounts. This time he was the one who sent people to escort me out of the Forty-Nine City."

"Then can we hand this line over to other comrades to take charge?"

"It's difficult! Right now, he only trusts me."

"Alright! I'll report this to my superiors as soon as possible, but you'd better be mentally prepared. It was their decision to have you return to Forty-Nine City to be a police officer."

"..."

In fact, Zheng Chaoyang was not prepared to accept Suning's employment at first, but he didn't want to be a policeman again, so he was more willing to accept Suning's employment.

However, the development of things often goes beyond many people's expectations. The superiors were not willing to let Zheng Chaoyang continue to contact Suning and Su Group. Instead, they urged Zheng Chaoyang to go to the police training class as soon as possible.

"Zheng Chaoyang, I hope you can accept the appointment from your superiors and report to the training class with Hao Pingchuan as soon as possible." Lao Luo looked at Zheng Chaoyang in front of him with an embarrassed face and persuaded him.

"Lao Luo, what should we do about Suning and Su Group?" Disappointed Zheng Chaoyang asked again about the work he was responsible for.

"The superiors want you to hand over the information you have, and other comrades will take over this matter."

"Lao Luo, didn't you make it clear to your superiors? The Su Group only trusts me. It's useless for anyone you send to contact them."

"Zheng Chaoyang, are you confident in yourself?"

"It's not that I'm confident! This is what Su Ning, the boss of the Su Group, told me personally. He said he's only willing to contact me, and no one else would be able to do it."

"Tsk! You're just a businessman, but you think too highly of yourself."

"Lao Luo, please understand clearly. The Su Group's demands are not excessive. It doesn't matter who contacts them. Why make enemies with them over such a trivial matter?"

"Zheng Chaoyang, let me tell you the truth! For over a year now, our superiors have suspected you of inflating prices, and they asked you to leave this line to protect you."

"What? How could I possibly inflate the price? Besides, the Su Group's quotes to us are all 50% off. Where else can we buy penicillin so cheaply?"

"The Soviet Union has already provided us with a large amount of low-priced sulfonamides. Even the more effective penicillin is only 20% of the Su Group's."

"What? Since the Soviet Union has so much penicillin, why did they let Vladimir buy a large amount from the Soviet Group?"

"Vladimir was just an ordinary Soviet businessman. As for why he bought penicillin from the Soviet Group, it was probably because he couldn't buy the low-priced penicillin produced in the Soviet Union."

"Okay! I will integrate all the information as soon as possible, and then go to the police training class immediately." Zheng Chaoyang, who understood everything, accepted it straightforwardly.

"Zheng Chaoyang, I hope you can understand the decision of your superiors. The Su Group's requirements are simply too demanding. They only accept hard currency, gold and silver, and antique jade, which is a major problem. And you're not suited to bargaining with them, so after careful consideration, your superiors have decided to make this arrangement."

"Lao Luo, although it's not appropriate for me to say this now, I still want to remind my superiors that the Su Group has more than a hundred factories around Beijing. The goods they produce every day are shipped to the Soviet Union by rail and sea. They also have a large amount of ruble foreign exchange, which is what we need."

"Don't worry! The superiors have already made arrangements and will definitely continue to reach new cooperation with the Su Group."
