"This clearly should be a case for the Economic Investigation Department."
A few days ago, the former deputy captain of the criminal police, Step back, was replaced by Yan Su and became the newly appointed deputy captain of the criminal police. His temper has also grown significantly.
"Hey, this case is quite interesting."
A playful smile tugged at He Zhou's lips as he waved for Yan Su to bring the person in.
"Captain Qi, you must help me, otherwise I will go bankrupt!" Yan Su led in a small old man in his fifties, who immediately started complaining.
He Zhou tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "You go first, or don't blame me for kicking you out!" As soon as he walked in, He Zhou knew that this guy was a complete troublemaker, shameless and without any dignity.
"Please, please, Captain Qi, if you don't help me, I'll be finished. If I'm finished, hundreds of workers will lose their jobs!"
This person is Zhang Zhigang, a farmer by birth, with an unusually bold personality. He formed a construction team and looked for work in urban area. As the first person to try something new, he undoubtedly reaped the benefits and made a fortune.
As more and more construction teams enter this industry, the competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Even though they are all businessmen, they act like they are in the underworld, fighting every few days. Breaking heads is just a minor issue, the real terror is when they start using knives to stab people.
At the same time, with the reform and restructuring of local enterprises, Zhang Zhigang also had some ideas in mind, planning to take advantage of the situation.
For someone like Zhang Zhigang who comes to take over the business, for the local government eager to get rid of the burden and dispose of enterprises with no future, it is naturally a cause for celebration. What follows is all kinds of coaxing and packaging for sale by the local government.
You want to buy a beverage factory? Sure, why not also throw in a cement plant and a bamboo weaving factory.
If it were when he was sober, Zhang Zhigang would naturally never agree, but after a few drinks, he agreed to the acquisition plan in a daze, without even understanding the basic situation of the factory he was acquiring.
It's easy to agree but hard to go back on your word.
local government comes to you with a soft approach. If you are sensible and accept it, then you gain the friendship of local government. If you don't acknowledge it, do you believe that local government will come at you with a tough approach?
It can be said that in order to get rid of the heavy burden of debt, local government is also going all out!
Like the popular saying "sell state-owned assets at low prices," that actually happened during the large-scale layoffs and restructuring in later years. It was only at that time that there was talk of selling at low prices.
Nowadays, local governments basically have to resort to all sorts of tricks to get rid of factories, and even resort to various bundled sales.
Don't think that the boss of the bundled sales and giveaways factory is picking up a big bargain. In fact, many bosses have been completely trapped by this operation from local governments.
Since the factory has become private, shouldn't the heavy debts of the factory be borne by the individual owner?
More importantly, the workers who were given away, even if the factory is losing money, the private owner must support them, not allowed to go bankrupt, and certainly not allowed to lay off employees.
Otherwise, if the workers cause trouble at the local government, the private bosses will immediately suffer and be reprimanded.
Zhang Zhigang took over three factories, besides making a small profit from the beverage factory, the other two are complete losses. The debt problem is a long-term issue, while necessary operating expenses are urgent.
"If we can't recover this payment, it's very likely that all three factories will go bankrupt.
"Tell me specifically what's going on," He Zhou said, tossing a cigarette to the other party, signaling them to get to the point."
Zhang Zhigang Without wasting any words, he picked up his briefcase and pulled out a stack of flashy documents.
He Zhou Picked it up suspiciously and found there were more than twenty sheets, each one particularly thick and printed in color.
The top layer is a letter:
"To Bridge Creek Beverages Co., Ltd.: In order to promote the development and growth of domestic beverage brands, this association, along with over 200 types of beverages from across the country, participated in the 7th 'Asia-Pacific International Beverage Expo' held in the Maldives on November 11th this year... After being unanimously selected by authoritative figures from over 300 countries worldwide, your company's beverages have been recognized as outstanding original ecological green and healthy drinks, and have joyfully received the gold medal in this category."
"Please bring relevant certificates and 100,000 yuan in activity funds to Pengcheng before January 12, 1994, to receive the trophy and certificate of honor."
The signature is in a lively handwriting, with the words "China Association for the Promotion of Small and Medium Enterprises" and a clear red stamp.
"You don't really believe it, do you?"
He Zhou performed a tactical backflip, crossed his hands, and sighed.
He If didn't remember wrong, in the memory, many product advertisements on TV in the 1980s and 1990s were awarded the gold medal at certain international expositions, which was very prestigious, for example, the famous Panama International Exposition...
"At first, I didn't believe it," Zhang Zhigang scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then continued to present other materials, pursed his lips and said, "But this is so detailed, I couldn't help but be convinced."
Yan Su also came over and found that it was really the case.
All relevant information is available in both Chinese and English versions, covering everything from participating exhibitors to event details.
More importantly, in this material, the figures of Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola actually appeared. Although they have won a series of awards, Zhang Zhigang's 'Bridge Creek Orange Juice' only received a gold medal in a specific category.
But shamelessly, it is completely possible for his own 'Bridge Creek Orange Juice' to be on par with Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola, belonging to a product of the same standard!
Moreover, Asia-Pacific, what a grand and impressive name, isn't it? Although he had never heard of the Maldives and had no idea that before the development of its tourism industry, the level of development in Southeast Asian countries and regions was at the bottom, ten Maldives combined were still far from being as good as one Xiang Jiang.
"Not right, didn't you report being cheated out of two hundred thousand?" Yan Su discovered the blind spot.
Zhang Zhigang said with a grievance, "They said the first time is free to help us send drinks abroad to participate in the competition. In the future, If we want to participate in other large international exhibitions, we have to pay twenty thousand for each exhibition, and we have to pay the full amount once every five years."
He Zhou had a severe headache and waved his hand, saying, "Forget it, you can dismiss it. I'll just admit defeat on this matter! If I'm not mistaken, this group of swindlers has already fled and moved on to another place to continue their crimes."
More importantly, the case occurred in Pengcheng, and he, a member of the Criminal Investigation Division from Handong Linzhou, faced great difficulty in handling a cross-provincial case, akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Seeing this rolling knife meat, He Zhou pretended to kick him, scaring him to quickly retreat.
"Come back!" Thinking that two hundred thousand in this era is a huge sum of money, enough to buy nearly twenty houses in Linzhou City, it is very likely that Zhang Zhigang's several factories will really go bankrupt, and hundreds of workers' families will be in trouble.
He waved again and called the guy back, "I'll give you some advice later!"
