Material Empire

After finally sending the reporters aside and allowing the accompanying police to control the scene, Liu Zhaocheng, accompanied by two officials from the Public Security Bureau, walked up to the office building of Chaosai Company. When he came to Wang Peichao's office and took a look, Liu Zhaocheng's face immediately sank.

"What are you doing! You are committing a crime, you know!" Liu Zhaocheng shouted loudly.

It turned out that Wang Peichao, Guan Liansheng and others immediately wanted to take people back to help after hearing that their home was also visited by creditors. Those little bosses who were collecting debts would not let them go. blocked. Guan Liansheng has always had a bad temper, and he was thinking about family affairs, so he started fighting with the small bosses at the slightest disagreement. The other party was not a vegetarian either, seeing Guan Lian's hands were active, he also fought back with his fists.

There were no rules in this fight, and Wang Peichao and He Shouxiang were also involved in the battle group. They were helplessly outnumbered, and they were beaten black and blue soon. Seeing that their face had been torn apart, those little bosses stopped putting on any polite appearance, directly sealed the door and unplugged the phone line, which was equivalent to putting Wang Peichao and others under house arrest in the office.

Liu Zhaocheng was completely unprepared for the situation to develop to this level. Seeing that Wang Peichao and others were in messy clothes and their faces were painted, and the small bosses next to them all had tiger faces, like bandits, how could he not be angry.

"Mayor Liu..."

Everyone knew Liu Zhaocheng, although at the level of their company, they were not yet able to talk to Liu Zhaocheng. Seeing the mayor coming in person with policemen by his side, everyone was somewhat timid.

"What's going on here? Are you trying to rob?" Liu Zhaocheng reprimanded everyone with a straight face.

"Mayor Liu, this is a misunderstanding." A small boss named Yu Jianming stepped forward and replied, "We just came to talk to Mr. Wang and the others to negotiate payment, but..."

"Chaosai company has owed us money for a long time, and our factory's capital turnover can't come through, so we hope that Mr. Wang can pay us the money sooner." Another small boss named Wu Chao also said: followed by an explanation.

"It's okay to ask for money, but how can you beat someone? Besides, Mr. Wang and Mr. Guan are detained here. This is illegal detention, understand?" said Ding Xingzheng, the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau who came up with Liu Zhaocheng.

Yu Jianming said: "Ju Ding, you misunderstood, we did not intend to detain Mr. Wang and the others. However, we heard some rumors that Chaosai Company might... We are worried that Mr. Wang and the others will not come back after leaving, so... ..."

A lot of content was omitted in his words, but both Liu Zhaocheng and Ding Xingzheng could understand them. In Changgu City, it has happened before that business owners who owed debts suddenly disappeared from the world. Yu Jianming and the others were worried that Wang Peichao and others would flee. This kind of thinking is not surprising. In fact, Wang Peichao and others did have the intention of fleeing with the money, but they didn't expect the debt collectors to come so quickly and block them in the company.

"Rumours are rumors after all. You can't act aggressively just because of a few rumors." Liu Zhaocheng said, "Now you all go outside and wait. I'll talk to Mr. Wang and ask about the specific situation."

Everyone looked at each other, lowered their heads, and quietly exited Wang Peichao's office. But they didn't go far, but stayed outside the office door. At this time, none of them would easily believe it. Only when they saw that Wang Peichao and others were still there with their own eyes, could they rest assured.

Ding Xingzheng and another officer from the Public Security Bureau also left the room and closed the door behind them. They knew that Liu Zhaocheng would definitely ask Wang Peichao some important questions, and these questions were not suitable for more people to listen to.

Watching everyone leave, Liu Zhaocheng sat down on Wang Peichao's big swivel chair, then took out a cigarette from his pocket, and put it in his mouth. Seeing this, Wang Peichao quickly picked up a lighter from the table, lit it and lit a cigarette for Liu Zhaocheng. Liu Zhaocheng nodded slightly, took a puff of cigarette, and then said: "What's the situation, please tell me."

Liu Zhaocheng's pretentiousness was not to show off, but to show Wang Peichao's attitude that the city government has not given up on Chaosai Company so far. Before everything is clear, Liu Zhaocheng can't give Wang Peichao the feeling that everyone is pushing the wall. After all, Chaosai Company has made a lot of financial and tax contributions to Changgu City in the past two years.

Wang Peichao turned off the lighter, returned to the place where he was sitting just now, and gave Liu Zhaocheng a brief introduction to the ins and outs of the matter. After such a long delay, what should have happened at home is probably over, so he has no intention of rushing back to save the scene. He knew that even if Liu Zhaocheng came, if he failed to explain the matter clearly, Liu Zhaocheng would not let him get away.

"Kusela is a big company, and it's still a Japanese company. How could they ask you to introduce technology?"

After listening to Wang Peichao's narration, Liu Zhaocheng asked strangely.

The muscles on Wang Peichao's face twitched. After hesitating for a moment, he said in a low voice: "Mayor Liu, I will not hide this matter from you. Our technology...is actually obtained from Qu Tao...."

"Get it here?" Liu Zhaocheng's eyes widened, "You mean..."

"Yes." Wang Peichao nodded, confirming Liu Zhaocheng's unspoken doubts.

It is not a secret in Changgu that Chaosai Company stole Qu Tao's technology, but Chaosai Company has never admitted it. As the deputy mayor in charge of industry, Liu Zhaocheng knew more about Chaosai Company's technical strength and Qu Tao's strength than others, so he naturally believed in such rumors more. However, since Qu Tao failed to pursue the responsibility of Chaosai Company through legal channels, of course Liu Zhaocheng would not take the initiative to accuse Chaosai Company of anything. As a government official of Changgu City, I am happy to see that enterprises in the jurisdiction can pry the corners of other places.

But this time the situation was different. Chaosai Company stole the technology from Qutao and provided it to Kusela. However, there were problems with this technology itself, which directly led to huge losses for both Chaosai Company and Kusela. At such a time, Liu Zhaocheng would of course have to ask the matter clearly in order to decide what to do next.

"That is to say, Qu Tao deliberately created a fake technology to deceive you, and it also affected Kussela?" Liu Zhaocheng asked.

Wang Peichao said: "Although I don't have direct evidence, I can basically be sure that this is the case. Qin Hai has always been scheming, and the Japanese and I have fallen for him."

"Qin Hai?" Liu Zhaocheng was taken aback for a moment, but he immediately came to his senses. Thinking of Qin Hai's threat a year ago, Liu Zhaocheng couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

"Chairman Qin really did what he said. His counterattack is really powerful." Liu Zhaocheng sighed.

"Isn't it?" Wang Peichao said dejectedly, "I didn't expect him to do things so terribly and so skillfully that even the Japanese fell into his trap."

"However, you can't catch him in this matter. Even if you know that he set up a trap, can you tell about this kind of thing?" Liu Zhaocheng asked.

"How should I say it?" Wang Peichao asked with a wry smile, "I only dare to tell you, Mayor Liu, about this matter, and I dare not tell it to another outsider. Let's go to Qutao to get the formula. If we say it publicly , that's going to jail."

I have to pretend I didn't hear... Liu Zhaocheng muttered in his heart, as the deputy mayor, if he knew that Chaosai Company had stolen the technical secrets of other companies but refused to report it, it would be a mistake. He decided to bypass this topic and directly understand Wang Peichao's next plan.

"Now that things have happened, it's useless to blame others. Mr. Wang, what are you going to do next?" Liu Zhaocheng asked.

"I hope the city can give us support." Wang Peichao said.

"This...of course the city will try its best to help you tide over the difficulties." Liu Zhaocheng said insincerely. In fact, after hearing about the cause of the incident, he had already decided to give up Chaosai Company. A company that started by plagiarizing technology got into trouble because of the failure of plagiarizing technology. How could the government support it? Qin Hai had already said before that he would clean up Chaosai Company, and now he has indeed done so. At this time, if the Changgu City Government still came forward to help Chaosai Company, it would be directly making an enemy of Qin Hai. Thinking of Qin Hai's terrifying destructive power, Liu Zhaocheng certainly didn't want to get into such trouble.

"However, the city's help is only an external cause, and your company's self-help is the internal cause. When solving problems, external factors can play a limited role, and the key is to rely on internal factors, don't you think?" Liu Zhaocheng played a standard Bureaucratic.

If Wang Peichao couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Zhaocheng's words, he would have been an entrepreneur for so many years in vain. He sighed, and said: "Mayor Liu, our company is able to have what it is today mainly because of our relationship with Kucera Company. Now Kucera has to use us as a backup in order to get out of the quality incident, so we are here. They will file a $2.5 billion lawsuit against us. If we want to count on Kucera, we will definitely not be able to count on it. If the city does not intervene, our company will only go bankrupt."

"The power in the city is also limited." Liu Zhaocheng said, "Mr. Wang, give me an accurate statement. If Chaosai Company is really... I mean if. If Chaosai Company goes bankrupt, can you take the outside Those people’s payment for the goods will be fully repaid?”

Liu Zhaocheng's words were already very embarrassing. What he meant was that he no longer planned to save Chaosai Company, and that Chaosai Company would go bankrupt if it went bankrupt, and it was none of his business. His request is only that Chaosai Company can pay off the debts of those people outside before it goes bankrupt, so as not to cause trouble to the city.

The world is so cold, Wang Peichao felt it all at this moment.

In the past three months, I worked on a project, edited a professional book, and various miscellaneous things. The update was sloppy, and Cheng Zi blamed himself. I stayed up until almost two o'clock last night, and I considered that the professional book was handed in. I may revise it later, but the pressure may not be so great. In the next few months, Orange plans to speed up the update speed... Well, do you believe it?
