Chapter 507 1 Entering the Mafia is like being in the deep sea
In the past, the economic system was single and there were campaigns from time to time. No one was afraid to make mistakes and everyone worked very cautiously.
After the economic opening-up policy was introduced, more and more foreign businessmen have returned to China to invest in the past two years. Faced with the huge temptation of profits, some people have begun to become active.
At the request of several leaders, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau imposed various levies on foreign businessmen, including unsaleable products, jobs, foreign exchange tasks, etc., and also issued some fines.
Foreign investors have expressed dissatisfaction and some are already trying to withdraw their investments.
When there are political achievements, they belong to the leaders; when foreign businessmen cause trouble, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau takes the blame.
Zhou Rong was fed up with this kind of thing and didn't want a bigger blame to fall on her later, which would ruin her reputation in her later years. So she pretended to faint in the meeting room and was carried into the infirmary.
When the doctor examined Zhou Rong, she slowly woke up, groaning and saying that she felt uncomfortable all over. She asked to retire and go home to recuperate.
For cadres at the department and bureau director level like Zhou Rong, as long as they do not commit major faults during their tenure, under the existing system, there is absolutely no problem for them to work until they are 60 or 65 years old. There are several leaders in the municipal and provincial governments who are in this situation.
Zhou Rong originally wanted to help her family's descendants "escort" for a few more years before retiring, but those "old hands" made her exhausted, so she had to retire early...
The municipal party committee leaders admired Zhou Rong's ability to get things done, and did not want to offend the complicated network of contacts behind her, so they did not approve her retirement application and allowed her to work for a few more years and make more contributions to the organization.
Zhou Rong said that she was old and unable to shoulder the heavy responsibility, so she decided to let someone more capable take over the position of director.
Seeing that she had made up her mind not to work anymore, her boss hoped that she would serve out her last shift and sort out the import and export company's affairs. The Tang family was also willing to transfer the investment funds for the international hotel and shopping mall to her before she retired.
Zhou Rong took the opportunity to propose setting up a special task force in the name of the Municipal Party Committee, and she could contribute as a member of the task force.
The municipal party committee approved it and appointed her as the team leader, with full authority to handle the import and export company's affairs.
In order to finish the import and export company's business as soon as possible and have a quiet life, Zhou Rong used his off-get off work time to write rectification suggestions in his study room...
Seeing Zhou Rong staring blankly at a pile of papers, Xu Man asked, "What are you looking at? Am I disturbing you?"
Zhou Rong: "I'm sorting out some things at work. You saw your brother today. How is he doing?"
Xu Man: "No, I came to you just to ask you for some advice to see if I can help him."
Afterwards, Xu Man told Xu Ce's family about their situation in the United States.
After hearing this, Zhou Rong frowned slightly and said, "Once you enter the mafia, it's like being in a deep sea. If you get rid of the Third Master and his successor, as long as there is profit to be made, your brother and his family will never be free."
Xu Man: "My brother said the same thing, but if they hadn't sought the protection of the Third Master when they first arrived in the United States, they wouldn't have had a chance to survive.
My brother said that the United States was very chaotic at that time, with frequent robberies and murders on the streets. If the people were not locals, the police would not care about their lives at all, and would even extort them like gangsters.
He personally witnessed several of his compatriots die in front of him, and he had no other choice but to go find the Third Master. "
Zhou Rong: "Third Master is a cruel and ruthless person. He only cares about profit and nothing else. If you want to get rid of him, you can only make him disappear completely."
Xu Man: "Chengnan suggested to my brother that we should find a way to cause a fight between several gangs, let them fight each other, and my brother would take advantage of the situation and seek help from the embassy.
But I always felt that this process was too dangerous, and the embassy staff might not help ordinary people like my brother. ”
Zhou Rong: "Your brother and his family are far away in the United States, and we can't reach them. I'll try to write a letter to the embassy to see if it can help."
Xu Man: "Okay, thank you. My brother said he wants to visit you on the weekend to thank you for your care for our family. Is it convenient for you?"
Zhou Rong: "Okay."
On the weekend, Xu Ce and Xu Hanqi came to visit Zhou Rong with some cakes and fruits.
While chatting, Zhou Rong asked Xu Ce about the situation of the Third Master.
Knowing that the Third Master liked to collect antiques, gold, and jewelry, he would find a way to get anything he liked. The two Ming Dynasty antiques that Xu Ce brought to the United States were taken away by the Third Master in the name of "liking" them.
Zhou Rong thought that if she didn't go and "visit" such a rich man, she would not be able to sleep or eat well.
After I retire, I will go to the United States...
After the task force was established, Zhou Rong brought his team members to the import and export company.
First, arrange for someone to check the accounts, then set up a disciplinary inspection department and set up a complaint and reporting box. Anyone who behaves improperly and is complained about will be held accountable according to the law once the crime is verified, no matter whose relative he is.
At the same time, a fast channel was opened and full-time personnel were arranged to connect with various factories. As long as the goods were needed by the import and export companies, all approval procedures were simplified. Whoever dared to delay the delivery would bear the loss of money by the person concerned, and if they did not obey the instructions, they would be replaced.
Anyway, there are so many people looking for jobs now, so it’s very easy to find someone to cover for you.
Some people were not convinced and clamored to go to the Municipal Party Committee to report Zhou Rong for abusing his power.
Zhou Rong directly threw out the red-headed document issued by the Municipal Party Committee, saying that anyone who was dissatisfied with the work of the special task force was dissatisfied with the leaders of the municipal government because the special task force was exercising power on their behalf.
Everyone shut up immediately and reluctantly cooperated with her to complete the task.
Zhou Rong asked the finance department to pay the 4% of the profits owed to the Tang family according to the contract, but the Tang family had to get the funds for building the international hotel and shopping mall as soon as possible.
Zhou Rong hopes that the Tang family can help distribute some of the products that are hard to sell in the city within their capabilities.
What Tang Xing wants is an attitude from the government. As long as they can act according to the contract, their family is happy to cooperate with the government for a long time and is willing to help distribute some of the unsaleable products. As long as the price is right, they can sell them in Southeast Asia.
After consulting the Municipal Party Committee, Zhou Rong sold all the products of those factories with poor performance in the city to Tang Xing at cost price.
Tang Xingmo calculated that if he used the cost price given by the factory, he could make a small profit.
Now that the factories' inventories have a place to go, they can recover some funds and give their employees two more New Year's gifts.
It is a win-win situation for everyone, and everyone praises Zhou Rong for his ability to get things done.
Tang Xing was worried that after the task force withdrew, the import and export company would return to its original state, so he said that they would start the international hotel and shopping mall project after those holdouts moved out.
However, the investment funds must be deposited in batches to prevent the government from changing their minds, and it is hoped that Zhou Rong can continue to work in the company.
Zhou Rong said that she was in poor health and would retire after completing this matter. The system and fast track she established would not be cancelled just because the task force was withdrawn, and would be implemented as standardized regulations for import and export companies in the future.
As long as there are corresponding rules and regulations to constrain them, some of the things that happened in the past can be prevented.
Tang Xing persuaded Zhou Rong several times, but Zhou Rong refused to work in the import and export company. He could only pray that the leaders would follow the rules in the future and not let his family lose all their money...
