Wu Yunpei and Hao Bode looked at each other. At the same time, they thought that this young old leader was so powerful that he could see the essence of the problem at a glance. The current price increase in edible oil is the result of Anjiang's entrepreneur monopoly.

There are three major consortiums in Anjiang, namely the Sanhua Enterprise Group led by Zhu Mingxian, the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce. The second is the Nanyou Group led by Hua Nanyou, the president of the Education Foundation. The other is the Lu Group, which has never been visible and has no water. These three major consortiums have similar financial resources and each has its own advantages. Behind them are the support of overseas Dahua Business Group and have very strong funds.

Merchants are profit-seeking and know how to seek protection from power. At that time, the heads of the three major consortiums tried their best to get close to Mu Guoxing. Zhu Mingxian and Lu Hankai, the head of the Lu Group, once wanted to use money and beautiful sera Mu Guoxing to go into the water. However, when they met Mu Guoxing's wife Zhong Ling, they learned about Zhong Ling's background and gave up this plan. Mrs. Mu Guoxing had too much money to be used as firewood, and Zhong Ling was as beautiful as a fairy. Mu Guoxing looked down on the little money they had in their hands and the vulgar powder they sent.

Later, the Sanhua Drink Poisoning Case was born, which shocked the whole country. In order to protect the city's enterprises and provide a fair competition environment in the market, Mu Guoxing instructed the public security department to decisively intervene in the investigation of the case. Zhu Mingxian also met Mu Guoxing for this reason, and with the help of Mu Guoxing, he defeated the malicious competitor in one fell swoop, causing the poisoning murderer to be punished by law.

Taking advantage of this favorable opportunity, Sanhua Group has carried out large-scale expansion, allowing Sanhua Beverage to occupy 70% of the domestic beverage market. At the same time, Sanhua Group has also gone abroad with the support of Mu Guoxing. After years of hard work, it has now become a beverage giant that is on par with the American Coca-Cola Company. It is praised by people for the United States having Coca-Cola and China having Sanhua Beverage.

The Sanhua Group led by Zhu Mingxian also made great contributions to the economic exhibition in Anjiang City. The taxes paid by one of its companies accounted for 20% of Anjiang City's fiscal revenue each year. Later, Mu Guoxing and Zhu Mingxian became good friends because of this.

The acquaintance between Hua Nanyou and Mu Guoxing is very dramatic, and it can be said that the two of them have a friendship. Once, Mu Guoxing's five wives went to a resort for leisure, and Lei Lei was mistakenly beaten and scolded by Hua Nanyou's wife by her husband's lover. When the police came to deal with this matter, Zhong Ling revealed her identity, and Hua Nanyou's wife was detained by the police.

In order to get out his wife, Hua Nanyou asked someone to plead with Mu Guoxing. Under Mu Guoxing's suggestion, he took the lead in establishing an education foundation and made great contributions to the education cause of Anjiang City. Hua Nanyou also became a relationship with Mu Guoxing and served as the vice chairman of the Anjiang City CPPCC at Mu Guoxing's proposal.

When Mu Guoxing was building five major projects in Anjiang City, Zhu Mingxian and Hua Nanyou actively invested and invested, and further narrowed their relationship with Mu Guoxing. The two of them also made great profits from this investment.

Later, Mu Guoxing went to Guangnan. In order to accelerate the pace of economic construction in Guangnan, he led a team back to Anjiang for investment as the governor of Guangnan. Zhu Mingxian and Hua Nanyou realized that Guangnan's investment promotion projects contained huge business opportunities, and at the same time they also had a heart of repaying gratitude. With their good personal relationship with Mu Guoxing, the two major consortiums took over the two largest investment promotion projects in Guangnan.

After these two projects were completed, the economic benefits created were very considerable, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as a booming source of wealth. Hua Nanyou and Zhu Mingxian also made a lot of money.

The Lu Group, which Lu Hankai led by Lu Hankai, lost in both competitions. The main reason was the obstruction of Nanyou Group and Sanhua Group. Everyone wanted to gain greater benefits in this business competition. One more person would have to be divided into one more part of the game. This is the result that no one wants to see. Another reason is that Lu Hankai did not have the opportunity to meet Mu Guoxing in advance. You should know that Guangnan was mainly focused on Zhu Mingxian and Hua Nanyou at that time. Can it guarantee the success of investment promotion? It was also the task assigned by Mu Guoxing to these two people at that time.

Seeing that Sanhua Group and Nanyou Group have made so much money in recent years, the shareholders of Lu's Group are all jealous and accused Lu Hankai of not getting to know Mu Guoxing early and losing two good opportunities for investment. In order to give shareholders an explanation and to gain a breath, Lu Hankai naturally had to turn his attention to other investment fields when he could not get investment projects from Mu Guoxing. After sufficient market research, Lu Hankai found that the domestic edible oil market contained huge business opportunities and its prospects were very broad.

Just as Sanhua Group and Nanyou Group were in full swing in Guangnan, Lu's Group also began to merge and acquire major edible oil companies in China. With strong financial support, Lu's Group's acquisition went smoothly. In less than two years, it acquired more than 80% of the domestic edible oil production companies, forming a monopoly situation.

Once a monopoly is formed, it is necessary to try every means to pursue the greatest profit. This is determined by the nature of merchants. The rise in the national edible oil and pork prices is also the result of the Lu Group's single-handed life. People's lives are inseparable from edible oil, and soybean cakes, the by-products of edible oil production enterprises, are the main raw materials for producing feed. When Lu Group controls edible oil production enterprises, it is equivalent to directly blocking the people's money bags. He wants to take as much as he wants from the people's pockets, and no one can do anything about it.

"Long, you are right. According to the situation we have learned, the increase in the prices of edible oil and pork this time is the result of individual merchants in Anjiang City's first-hand deal."

Mu Guoxing was surprised. His previous speculation finally became a reality. Judging from the energy of Anjiang entrepreneurs, he was able to do this. The investment projects that came to Guangnan a few years ago have now produced huge benefits and funds are gradually recovering. If they don’t find a place for investment, they still don’t know how much trouble these people will make.

"Oh? What's the matter with you all?"

Hao Bode smiled and said, "Chang, you also know that there are three major consortiums in Anjiang, namely Sanhua, Nanyou and Lushi. Among them, Sanhua and Nanyou are the heads of Sanhua and Nanyou. Their main investment direction is still in Guangnan. The problem lies with the Lushi Group. When you worked in Anjiang, you instructed that Anjiang entrepreneurs should be prepared to face the financial crisis. The Municipal Party Committee also issued a document at that time, requiring entrepreneurs to seize this favorable opportunity to further realize the transformation of the enterprise."

Mu Guoxing nodded. When he was still the secretary of the municipal party committee in Anjiang, the municipal party committee did issue such a document. Once when he talked to Zhu Mingxian, he specifically instructed him to play the role of the chamber of commerce and organize the enterprise to prepare. At that time, Anjiang's entrepreneurs obeyed Mu Guoxing and finally did a lot of preparations.

Could it be that the hidden dangers of rising prices of edible oil and pork were buried from that time? But it was impossible to think about it again. Anjiang's entrepreneurs later invested almost all their funds in the projects in Guangnan, and it was impossible for them to spend money to do anything else.

"I understand this situation, but I don't know why Lu's Group is linked to the rise in the prices of edible oil and pork."

Hao Bode was the executive vice mayor at that time, so he was naturally very familiar with these situations. After hearing Mu Guoxing's question, he said: "At that time, Anjiang's enterprises were prepared to deal with the financial crisis in advance according to your instructions and recovered a huge amount of funds. It didn't take long for the financial crisis to break out. Enterprises in other places suffered huge losses, but Anjiang's bosses escaped this disaster, and they admired you even more."

Hao Bode took a sip of tea and then said, "Later, you came to Anjiang to attract investment. These entrepreneurs happened to have huge amounts of funds and had no place to go. Seeing that the projects you brought had great potential for development, and with the trust in you, I snatched the projects you brought with me in vain."
