Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 257 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!

Director Li has been having a terrible time recently.

First, Fan Jinyou appeared and interrupted his good momentum of promotion, leaving him with no way to express his suffering.

Then came the big news that Chen Xueru had colluded with the Russian diplomatic attaché to engage in smuggling, leaving him speechless.

Although to be honest, these two things have nothing to do with him. Even if it were someone else, the result would still be the same.

But all these big bombs were exposed during his tenure!

There really is nothing anyone can do about this.

Of course, if it were just that, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

At worst, I could learn more from Director Wang and get closer to Ximen Lang. Being close to him would always help offset all these mistakes.

But the problem was that when these big mines were detonated one by one, they were all seen by Ximen Lang, which made Ximen Lang quite dissatisfied with himself!
This really made Director Li extremely uncomfortable!
Originally, he wanted to learn from Director Wang, establish a good relationship with Ximen Lang, and also get some benefits from following behind him.

It doesn't need to be much, just some merit will be enough.

But now, I have offended people directly.

How can this be fixed?
In particular, Director Wang has been getting better and better and more successful recently thanks to his relationship with Ximen Lang.

It seems to be soaring into the sky and flying onto the branches like a phoenix!
Really, seeing Director Wang doing better than me is more painful than killing him!
It was obvious that her life was worse than mine before!

Can bear fruit.
"Ugh!"

Director Li sighed heavily again and couldn't help but curse Fan Jinyou, who had already been offline, in his heart!
But even if you scold him a thousand times, things are already like this.

Even if you dig him out of the grave and whip his corpse a thousand times, it will still be of no use.

So, I just complained for a while.

Soon, Director Li put aside these useless emotions and started thinking about ways to remedy the situation.

Of course, it would not work if he tried to get close to Ximen Lang without any tact.

If he really dares to do this
It wouldn't even be Ximen Lang's turn to be hated, Lao Luo would immediately replace him and make him get as far away from home as possible like that Factory Director Yang!

So, as expected
"This turning point still depends on the sisters Chen Xueru and Xu Huizhen, who have a relatively good relationship with Ximen Lang."

It just so happened that because I handled the matter of Chen Xueru in a timely and appropriate manner a few days ago, Ximen Lang had a completely different opinion of me.

As for Chen Xueru, because of herself, or because of the leniency given by the higher-ups, she is very grateful and respectful to herself.

This is easy, just keep going.

With just one phone call, Chen Xueru, who was still frightened and pale, was called to the street office.

First, he said a few words of comfort.

"Don't worry, this is over, and it's over. Put your mind at ease. No one will bring this up again."

Let Chen Xueru relax and quickly come out of her negative state. With a full attitude, devote herself to the next work.

It stopped Chen Xueru from expressing her gratitude.

Director Li went straight to the point and talked to Chen Xueru about business.

"I'm certain that this smuggling channel we control will be of great use in the future! The worse our relationship with the Russians, the greater the role of this smuggling channel!" "So, isn't that Russian diplomatic attaché greedy and always wanting to increase smuggling efforts? Doesn't he think that the current smuggling is just a small thing?"

"Promise him! Also, be open-minded! Don't just focus on basic necessities like rice, flour, grain, and oil. Some industrial products and mineral raw materials can also be included in the transaction list. As long as they don't touch contraband, these are all negotiable!"

It is indeed a good thing.

Moreover, considering how greedy the Russians are, as long as we open the door, they will definitely increase their efforts and increase the amount of smuggling!

But after all, times are different now.

After all, I am a half-official.

There are some things that I didn’t need to care about before, but now I really have to pay attention to them.

Thinking of this, Chen Xueru, who was quite aware, immediately told the situation.

"Director, it's easy. The reason the quantity was so small before was entirely because I was afraid and was suppressing it. As long as I'm willing to open up, he will definitely increase the shipment volume without hesitation."

"But the problem is, they don't value our industrial products, and we don't have many that they'd appreciate. So the settlement method has always been foreign exchange, always real money."

"In this situation, if we rashly increase the amount of smuggling, all our money will go to the Russians. This is real money. Is it really worth it? Will it have a negative impact?"

It was a pleasant surprise to see that Chen Xueru could think of this.

His eyes lit up and he nodded, and Director Li praised him.

"Yes, you've stopped being so obsessed with material things and started to consider the public interest. That's a good realization. If you had realized this earlier, you would have been fine long ago. Why are you still so frightened?"

"But it's not too late to realize this now. Isn't it just a little extra fine? As long as you're fined, you'll be able to earn it back many times over in no time. It'll definitely be much more than what you were earning before!"

It's both praise and empty promises.

The key point is that Chen Xueru can actually eat this cake with peace of mind.

Compared to the fear that had kept her awake for nights, the peace of mind she felt before made Chen Xueru's complexion visibly better.

Then, Director Li explained the concerns that Chen Xueru had just raised.

"We have to let them make as much money as possible, and the greater the benefits, the better! So big that they'll have to bring in more people, forming a complex web of benefits! So big that even if our relationship becomes hostile, they won't be willing to cut off this channel! So big that they'll maintain this channel even if it means selling out their country's interests! This is what's best for us!"

As for the little real money that will inevitably be earned by the Russians in the early stage
"Chen Xueru, you are a very bold businessman. Businessmen like you should understand that the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."

"Isn't it just to make a little money from us? A few things that are not ours. If we make money, we make money. Just give it to them. Once the channel is completely stable, we can make it back many times over! As for how to make money."

He took out a disposable lighter and handed it to Chen Xueru.

After a brief introduction, Chen Xueru immediately saw the huge business opportunity.

Director Li continued.

"We'll have more practical and convenient things like this in the future. With these things, why worry about not making enough money?"

This conversation fully demonstrated Director Li's foresight and vision.

But the better he performed, the more Bai Ling didn't understand.

"Director Li, why do things like this always happen under your leadership?"
