Material Empire

Of course, it was inconvenient for Liu Shuo to let Mo Kongchao come directly to the conference room. He ordered Ming Yongbo to continue to preside over the meeting, and he brought Huang Yanling and Huang Yanling to meet Mo Kongchao outside the office building and invited him to his office.

"It's so late, I heard you are still in a meeting?" Mo Kongchao asked Liu Shuo casually after he sat down.

"Yes, we are discussing things about Kusela Company." Liu Shuo said frankly.

"What do you think?" Mo Kongchao directly asked Liu Shuo without any detours.

Liu Shuo asked back: "Mayor Mo, we still don't know the real intentions of the Japanese. Do you have any more definite news?"

Mo Kongchao shook his head and said, "They didn't clearly state their intentions, but Mayor Zheng and I agree that they must be targeting you."

"These little devils are really shameless." Huang Yanling said bitterly, "When they were in Brazil, they planned to cheat us, saying that they wanted to cooperate with us, but our factory manager Qin refused. This time, they actually Are you trying to put pressure on us by bringing the leaders of the central government together?"

"It's really difficult to handle this matter." Mo Kongchao sighed, "The Japanese bypassed us and went to the leaders of the central government first. Now that several directors and bureau chiefs have arrived, if we don't cooperate with their work, we will go to It's not very good-looking at the time. Working with them... Needless to say, I know you will definitely not agree. "

"Of course I can't agree!" Huang Yanling said, "Mayor Mo, you know the business situation of our factory. We have such a good business, why should we cooperate with them?"

"Do you all think so?" Mo Kongchao asked.

Liu Shuo nodded: "We had a meeting just now to discuss this matter. All our factory leaders and main middle-level cadres agreed, that is, we firmly disagree with the cooperation with the Japanese."

In fact, what Liu Shuo said was not true. People like Wang Peichao still wanted to cooperate with the Japanese, but they were held back by Liu Shuo, Huang Yanling and others. Liu Shuo didn't want to talk too much about these internal differences to Mo Kongchao. Anyway, everyone had at least verbally reached an agreement in the end, so Liu Shuo's report was fine.

"Where's your Qin Hai?" Mo Kongchao asked again.

Liu Shuo said: "I have already called the factory manager Qin to report this matter in the afternoon, and he said that he will rush over to deal with it immediately. His opinion is that we can't cooperate with the Japanese. According to the regulations of our factory, his opinion is the most important."

"Qin Hai is coming too?" Mo Kongchao scratched his head. For Liu Shuo and others, he is confident enough to control them, and believes that they will not cause trouble for him. But regarding this Qin Hai, Mo Kongchao was a little uncertain. He has never dealt with Qin Hai. According to Liu Shuo's introduction, Qin Hai is very young, very capable, and very rich. arrangement?

"Xiao Liu, you Qin Hai... are you easy to talk to?" Mo Kongchao asked hesitantly.

"Factory Manager Qin is quite nice." Before Liu Shuo could speak, Huang Yanling interrupted, "He's very capable, but he doesn't put on airs at all. When we meet, he calls me Big Sister, which is very polite. By the way , this time in Brazil, he even gave me a bag, it's so precious..."

"..." Mo Kongchao was a little speechless, the way a woman looks at things is sometimes really special, calling you a big sister proves that he is easy to talk to? This only proves that he is polite, but it doesn't mean that he is easy to talk to. What he means by being easy to talk to is... Well, forget it, I can't explain it to this silly elder sister.

Liu Shuo understood what Mo Kongchao was going to ask. He thought for a while and said, "Qin Hai is young, smart, enthusiastic, and principled. He doesn't fight with others for ordinary small things, and he behaves very well." Humility. However, when it comes to issues of principle, his attitude is very tough... I think he will stick to his own opinions even with leaders like the minister and the governor."

"That's quite a character." Mo Kongchao smiled, and a thought suddenly appeared in his mind: Since this Qin Hai has such a tough temper, if he is allowed to deal with people like Chen Yuan and Zhao Bowen, won't he? better? Anyway, he is from Anhe Province, so even if he annoys the superiors, it's none of Qu Wu's business.

"Okay, Xiao Liu, when Qin Hai comes, you must take him to my place, and I will chat with him... Later, um, don't let him go to the city hall, you arrange a place, It is more appropriate for me to meet him in private, do you understand what I mean?" Mo Kongchao urged.

"I understand." Liu Shuo is a smart person, so such things are naturally obvious.

"Mayor Mo, I think we are working too hard. In fact, the Japanese want to take advantage of our factory. This is an obvious thing. Just explain this matter clearly to the superiors?" Huang Yanling puzzled asked.

Mo Kong opened his mouth, and finally just smiled embarrassingly, and said: "Xiao Huang, the matter here...is quite complicated, and I can't explain a word clearly. In short, when the Japanese and the superiors come, Don't talk too much, just pretend to be deaf and dumb about some things. If the Japanese say they want to form a joint venture with you, you say that you can't make the decision, and push it to Director Liu and your Factory Director Qin, and leave the rest to you. They're going to talk."

"Yes, I understand." Huang Yanling agreed.

Mo Kongchao understood Liu Shuo's thoughts and Qin Hai's opinion, and the purpose of this trip was achieved. He stood up and said, "Okay, it's getting late, I'll go back first."

Liu Shuo and Huang Yanling also quickly stood up and said, "We will see Mayor Mo off."

Mo Kong looked at Huang Yanling and said, "Why don't you ask Xiao Liu to send me out? Xiao Huang, you should go back to the meeting. Didn't you say that the meeting is still over?"

Huang Yanling knew that Mo Kongchao had something to say to Liu Shuo alone, so she obediently agreed and stopped. Liu Shuo accompanied Mo Kongchao out of the office building, and when he came outside, Mo Kongchao saw that there was no one around, and said to Liu Shuo in a low voice: "Xiao Liu, about the joint venture with the Japanese, when the time comes, don't worry about it." Talking too much. Since you said that Qin Hai is coming over, it's better to let him talk, it will be more active for us."

Liu Shuo said: "Mayor Mo, the question Yanling raised just now is actually my question. Our brother's ceramic factory is in such a good business situation that we must not cooperate with the Japanese. Why can't we tell the leaders of the central government about this matter? "

Mo Kongchao sighed: "Xiao Liu, as long as you understand this matter in your heart, don't tell others. You think, several directors and bureau chiefs came from above to facilitate this matter. If we tell them , saying that they were deceived by the Japanese, what would they think?"

"I'm afraid...you'll feel ashamed." Liu Shuo said hesitantly.

Mo Kongchao said: "That's right! In the final analysis, it was because we didn't have time to report to the superiors. I originally planned to wait for you to sign all the contracts with the foreign businessmen, summarize them, and then report to the superiors. Who knew that the people from the central government came so quickly. .They don’t know what’s going on with you, and they think it’s a great thing to have a joint venture with the Japanese. They came here excitedly. If we pour cold water on them, what do you think will happen?”

"This... I'm afraid they won't be able to save face, and then..." Liu Shuo finally understood. For a leader, face is more important than anything else. If Qu Wu bluntly dismissed this matter, Chen Yuan, Zhao Bowen and the like would all be unable to step down. At that time, they will inevitably vent their anger on the Quwu City Government, which will not end well.

"Hey, the problem of face kills people." Liu Shuo looked up to the sky and sighed.

Mo Kongchao said: "At this point, we can only take one step at a time. It would be the best if Qin Hai could come over. Please tell him not to speak too harshly, but be a little more tactful, and don't let him The leader has an ugly face, do you understand?"

"I understand." Liu Shuo replied.

Mo Kongchao's meaning was very clear, that is, let Qin Hai carry all the thunder, and Qu armed himself as if he didn't know the truth. In this way, if Chen Yuan and the others had any objections, they would go towards Qin Hai, and Qin Hai was not from Qu Wu, so Chen Yuan and the others could do nothing to Qin Hai.

Of course, to say that there is nothing to do is just for now. In the whole world, could it be that Wang Tu, Chen Yuan and the others would put Qin Hai's little shoes on after they returned to the capital, these matters had nothing to do with Mo Kongchao.

Liu Shuo didn't dare to persuade Mo Kongchao, so he could only agree. But he had made up his mind, he had to discuss this matter with Qin Hai, and he couldn't let Qin Hai be this villain alone. As for how he could help Qin Hai, he didn't have a good idea yet.

The night passed quickly. Early the next morning, Mo Kongchao arranged for the people in the office to call several private ceramic factories in Quwu City to inform them about the upcoming investigation of Kucera Company, and he led Chen Yuan, Takamura Takehiko and a group of people , First go to visit several state-owned enterprises.

I heard that Japanese businessmen came to visit, and they may invest huge sums of money in joint ventures. The leaders of Quwu No. 1 Ceramics Factory and No. 2 Ceramics Factory were so excited that they stayed up all night. The staff in the factory office stayed up all night. The red banner was hung up, and the factory area was tidied up again, doing enough superficial work.

Although Takamura Takehiko had ten thousand displeasures in his heart, he still didn't dare to show his face, so he could only reluctantly follow the crowd to investigate, and even pretended to be interested. Seeing that the Japanese customers were interested, Chen Yuan and the others were naturally very excited. They led Takamura Takehiko around from workshop to workshop, and then went to the factory office to see the various honors the factory had won over the years. They were extremely busy.

Mo Kongchao knew that all of this was just acting, and Chen Yuan and the others were involved in the play without knowing what it was. He really felt annoyed and funny.
