Chapter 107: Intrigue (Part 2)
Chapter 107
Qin Ruohai didn't know what I was selling in the gourd, so why did he suddenly ask him this question? Just as he was still in deep thought, my voice rang in his ears again: "Secretary Qin believes that the company that your unhappy brother can provide you with how much money can pave the way for you to continue to rise? The reason why your brother's company has not yet gone bankrupt is that others only give him some business for your sake..."
It is no secret that Qin Ruohai's younger brother opened a company. It is commonplace and tacit in the officialdom. So after hearing what I said, Qin Ruohai nodded and agreed with me. His unhappy younger brother was instructed to open a company. The so-called right does not need to expire. Since he could not accept bribes in a position where the Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee is at the forefront of the storm, he could only use other methods to accumulate capital for himself, and opening a company that he trusted is one of the safest methods.
But his unhappy brother made the company messy. Although many wealthy businessmen in Shanghai give a lot of orders to that company every year for their own sake, so that the company can make such a little money, but these people in his family don’t spend enough money, let alone give some filial piety to the people in the central government. When he thought of this, Qin Ruohai had to sigh, his political career was really dragged down by his own brother.
"If I can give you enough funds, then Secretary Qin, how confident are you to advance one step further and enter the central government?" My words were so tempting in Qin Ruohai's ears. But Qin Ruohai knew that if he wanted to advance one step further, he would have to offend some people, and at the same time he would become another group of people to disturb him. What those who play politics fear most is to stand in the wrong team. Once he chooses his team, there is no way to turn back. If he wins, he can almost get everything; if he loses, he will have nothing, and even lose his life.
Qin Ruohai was still struggling, swaying, and finally gritted his teeth and asked the question I wanted to know most: "So how much money do you have to give me, Mr. Su?"
A faint smile appeared on the corner of my mouth. Since Qin Ruohai asked this question, it means that he was already moved, and I had to strike while the iron was hot to give him a firm belief in his future. So I replied domineeringly: "Secretary Qin, I can provide you with as much as you want."
My words made Qin Ruohai stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to come back to his senses. Then Qin Ruohai smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Su is indeed very generous, but Mr. Su should also know that if there is only enough funds, I will only be 50% sure to enter the central government. Some things cannot be handled by money alone. In politics, they rely more on interpersonal relationships. Of course, this money is also indispensable."
After Qin Ruohai finished speaking, he turned his eyes to me. He wanted to see what I would react. Unfortunately, my performance disappointed him. I still had a faint smile on my face, and said with a domineering attitude: "I can only guarantee that all the officials in the Qing Gang's siege will be your support. In addition, you need to work hard on your own." After hearing my words, not only Qin Ruohai, but also Nangong Xicheng, who was with him, was shocked. The two of them knew very well how many of the Qing Gang's forces were, which included the entire Yangtze River Delta. Is it possible to make such a large range of officials help Qin Ruohai? If it weren't for a big question mark in their hearts, Mr. Su wouldn't be drunk?
"You probably won't believe this now. Give me half a year, and the entire East China will be your help for Secretary Qin." My voice rang in the private room, which made Qin Ruohai and Nangong Xicheng know that I was not drunk.
"Since Mr. Su has said that, then I, Qin, will be more pretentious." When he said this, Qin Ruohai's eyes were full of people. He also knew that if he really had enough money and help as I said, and then he, Qin Ruohai, could really buy a fan to hang himself. "It's just that Qin believes that there is no free lunch in the world. Mr. Su spends so much financial and material resources to help Qin, so what does Mr. Su want to get from me, Qin?
"Secretary Qin believes that if you enter the central government at the same time, what can I get from you?" I asked back without answering. But my question made Qin Ruohai not know that any answer was good.
Before I could wait for his answer, I said to myself: "No matter what I do in the future, Secretary Qin, you must open the door to convenience for me. Of course, what I do will never be a matter that endangers the country or society." After hearing my words, Qin Ruohai was obviously relieved. Although he was not an absolute honest official, Qin Ruohai still had a sense of justice in his heart, otherwise he would not have done some practical things for Shanghai. Although he didn't know what the chairman of the Garcity Group wanted to do, after obtaining his guarantee, Qin Ruohai was more or less at ease.
Speaking of this, I felt that it was almost done, so I took out two hand-carrying code boxes from under my seat and placed them on the table. In Qin Ruohai's puzzled eyes, I slowly opened the two code boxes. Even Qin Ruohai and Nangong Xicheng, who had seen many big scenes, couldn't help but widen their eyes and stared at them without turning their eyes. Like most TV series, these two boxes naturally contain money. But when some money leaves the TV series and is placed in front of a person, the shock it brings is much more exciting than watching TV. Especially when the box contains US dollars.
In fact, these two boxes were not available at all, and you only need to write two checks of the same amount. But I know that the numbers filled in the check are far less wonderful and real than the feeling of putting the same amount of cash in front of you. This is like the difference between swiping a card and paying cash. The former is far less distressing than the latter.
"What does Mr. Su mean?" Qin Ruohai finally shifted his eyes from the pile of money to my face, and asked knowingly, "Is this money..."
"Secretary Qin, this money is naturally a small investment our group has made in your younger brother's company." Before Qin Ruohai finished speaking, I interrupted him and cursed disdainfully in my heart: "This old fox has already shown up, so why are you pretending to be a noble person? A typical bitch wants to establish a chastity arch. In this regard, the Americans are much more cute."
"Yes, let's accept these investments for my unhappy brother first. I don't think Mr. Su's money will be invested in vain." Qin Ruohai also immediately understood. Who doesn't like to save face when he is in the officialdom? Even if he accepts some bribes, he can't just say it. After all, everyone wants the reputation of a clean official.
Today's meal made the Shanghai Municipal Party Secretary very comfortable, but he had money and saw his political future. Anyway, he wouldn't feel bad. "Which side does Mr. Su think we should be on now? I believe you also know that the current central government is actually divided into three factions, one is led by Qi Mingze, a member of the Central Political Bureau; the other is led by Beijing Mayor Liu Yefei, and the other is a centrist who has no tendency. The two factions I mentioned before are the most powerful competitors in the election of tomorrow."
"I hope Secretary Qin can join the mayor Liu Yefei's faction."
"Why? No matter from any aspect, Qi Mingze should have an absolute advantage!"
Nonsense! I cursed in my heart, isn’t Qi Mingze the backstage of Longhu Mountain? I spent so much effort to defeat Longhu Mountain? If you join Qi Mingze’s camp, then I’m just going to make a fuss! Although I was scolding in my heart, I had to give Qin Ruohai a convincing reason.
"Secretary Qin, you also said that Qi Mingze's side now has an advantageous position in all aspects. So you think that our joining his camp can only be regarded as icing on the cake. In the eyes of Qi Mingze, there is no essential difference between us or not. In this way, you will definitely not be respected. After Qi Mingze comes to power, the benefits we can get are limited. Joining Liu Yefei's side is just the opposite. Your joining is undoubtedly a timely help for him, allowing him to add a big magic code in the battle with Qi Mingze, which is certain to be reused." After hearing what I said, Qin Ruohai felt that this was indeed the case and nodded frequently.
"Mr. Su, it's getting late today, and it's time for me to say goodbye. There is still a meeting in the city waiting for me to hold."
"Secretary Qin still has to go to a meeting so late? He is really for the country and the people. Su is really impressed." I felt awkward in this scene, and it made me disgusted!
After walking out of the Garlic Cup, when Nangong Xicheng was about to send Qin Ruohai back, Qin Ruohai politely refused. Thinking about it, a top leader in Shanghai, carrying a box of one million US dollars in each hand and a well-known Shanghai gangster leader. This scene is always easy to make people imagine. Even if others don’t say anything, they are not at ease. But it’s good that seeing Nangong Xicheng’s desire to stop during the dinner, he probably has something to say to me, but because Secretary Qin is present, it’s not very convenient. Since Secretary Qin takes care of himself leaving alone, that’s right.
