Revival Road

Chapter 180 The Internal Struggle of East Lake One
Xu Chen, who usually lives in a single dormitory, returned home on the weekend and found his aunt there.

"I heard you are very busy." Zhang Hongqin said with a smile, "Do you not rest on Sunday?"

"It was really busy some time ago, but it's much better now, isn't it time to rest?" Xu Chen replied.

"Oh? That means your gearbox project is over?" It was his father Xu Chengyan who asked.

"The research institute is almost done. Anyway, I have finished my work and passed the review..."

"I didn't expect Tao Tang to dare to attack in Red Star." Zhang Hongqin changed the subject, "It seems that there is no end to just one Luo Chong, right?"

"He's a little technician who knows what a fart," Xu Chengyan said.

"Why didn't I know? Not to mention the director Yang who ran away, didn't an assistant to the general manager of our factory also be arrested?" Xu Chen was very dissatisfied with his father who always treated him as an ignorant baby.

"Haha, Xiaochen, has your Red Star Factory become a mess recently?" Zhang Hongqin interjected.

"You're wrong," Xu Chen said, "At least everything in our research institute is normal. Everyone in the institute applauds the company for digging out the big moth. Everyone is very excited. By the way, I saw our big boss two days ago is it?"

"Look at how unpromising you are, so what can you do if you see Tao Tang?" Zhang Hongqin smiled, "Does anyone know who you are, a little radish?"

"Boss Tao chatted with me for a long time." Xu Chen couldn't help telling the story of Meng Fan's new house that day, and finally said, "Our team leader said he has confidence in Tao Boss, and I do the same. I believe our Red Star Factory will do it again. Brilliant, it will definitely be better than your East Lake in the future."

"Hey, you've only been to Hongxing for a few days? Keep talking about us, Hongxing, as if you are a child of Hongxing..." Zhang Hongqin said.

"I forgot, Second Aunt, you are a child of Red Star. Do you know Mr. Tao? It seems that you are about the same age," Xu Chen said.

"I don't know..." Zhang Hongqin lied to her face.

"Don't tell me, this person surnamed Tao is not simple..." Xu Chengyan said, "Even Dong Dong admires him...Xiaochen, what should you do? Your aunt and I need to discuss something serious."

After Xu Chen left, Zhang Hongqin asked her brother-in-law, "Brother-in-law, have you finally made up your mind?"

"Actually, I'm not allowed to choose... Tell me, do I have a choice?"

"There is really no choice. Of course you know the purpose of Tang Yikun's promotion of you. Even if you stand by Tang Yikun's side this time, Old Tang probably won't really trust you." Zhang Hongqin was happy for her brother-in-law's decision.Before, my brother-in-law, who was also considered a high-ranking and powerful man in Donghu, was caught in the middle and was helpless, not knowing what to do.

"That's it," Xu Chengyan said. "Recently I've been thinking about Red Star. I used to think that private enterprises have more advantages than state-owned enterprises in terms of system. Now I realize that the power structure of private enterprises is far less stable than that of state-owned enterprises. Once internal friction occurs, the consequences are unimaginable. ..."

"Don't talk about those useless things..." Zhang Hongqin knew that Xu Chengyan was very bookish, and often seemed pedantic and ridiculous, "Tell me, is Wei Shegang worthy of your trust? Tang Yikun gave it to you, can he give it to you?"

"I will be Wei Shegang's deputy, and the salary will not be lower than that at the headquarters... The East Lake headquarters is actually a sham, you know that. Wei Shegang told me about the salary, and said that he will be responsible for making up for the missing part, which is also a promise. What he wants is actually not much, just let me publish a report that is beneficial to the mining industry, I have been in the mining industry for decades, even if he doesn't talk about it, I will still be biased towards the mining industry..."

"Brother-in-law, don't underestimate Tang Yikun! The reason why he transferred you to the headquarters is to ask you to achieve the results he wants theoretically. Tang Yikun is unwilling to split up in any form...you have to figure out this One thing... he is now completely on the opposite side with Tang Laosan and Wei Shegang, and it is definitely not as simple as writing a report!"

"I know. This is also the main reason why I don't want Xiaochen to come to East Lake. It would be nice to have some technology in a state-owned enterprise..." Xu Chengyan sighed.

"It might be a life-and-death struggle this time..." Zhang Hongqin lowered her voice, "Some time ago, a classmate of mine who was engaged in online writing followed Tang Yikun and planned to write an online novel based on Tang Yikun. Damn, pestering me to provide materials about Tang Yikun, I gave him some irrelevant..."

"What do you mean?" Xu Chengyan didn't understand what my sister-in-law meant.

"Brother-in-law, listen to me. My classmate is a bit interesting. He used to be an officer in the Red Star Propaganda Department. He resigned and became an Internet writer. He has finished writing two books. I don't know when he started to be interested in Donghu. I became interested in Tang Yikun, especially Tang Yikun. Oh, he and Tang Yikun are also classmates. What's interesting is that this guy even suspected the source of the first pot of gold in East Lake, and looked a bit inquisitive... Tell me, if I give him some materials, When his book is published online, I will think of ways to promote it for him, will it have an effect on Wei Shegang?"

This moment, that moment.When Zhang Hongqin reunited with Lu Qi some time ago, she talked about Sun Dunquan's "writing", and made it clear that it was inappropriate for Sun Dunquan to write about the development history of East Lake at a time when East Lake was fighting fiercely.But now the situation has changed. Wei She has just joined the war, forcing Zhang Hongqin's family to choose to stand in line.The reason why Zhang Hongqin gave up her so-called iron job and went to Donghu was not because she and Tang Yikun were classmates, but because her brother-in-law Xu Chengyan was one of the founders of Donghu Mining.She reunited with Sun Dunquan by accident, and deliberately concealed everything about her in East Lake. In fact, she knew many secrets about the beginning of East Lake's business, but she never revealed it to Sun Dunquan, nor did she reveal it to Lu Qi.However, even the things she told Sun Dunquan that she thought were insignificant helped Sun Dunquan a lot, allowing Sun Dunquan to see Tang Yikun's admirable side.

Now, in order to help Wei Shegang win, Zhang Hongqin made a cold move.

"Isn't this method too far-fetched? I can't take care of anything." Xu Chengyan shook his head after listening to his sister-in-law's move.

"Don't underestimate the power of the Internet..." Zhang Hongqin understands the lethality of public opinion on a celebrity better than the old-fashioned Xu Chengyan, "I read some of his drafts, the writing is good, the story is very moving, if Intentionally incitement, Hiraizumi people will be interested in the article”

"I mean it doesn't matter...that's not the decisive force." Xu Chengyan didn't object to Zhang Hongqin's move, he was not optimistic about its effect.

"It's fine if you agree," Zhang Hongqin said, "However, you must not underestimate Tang Yikun's ability. That guy is amazing, and Tang Laosan may not be on your side."

"I know this……"

After Zhang Hongqin left, Xu Chengyan sorted out the recent situation in East Lake by himself, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

It is true that Donghu Industry encountered operational difficulties, but Xu Chengyan thought it was not a big problem.Looking through the development history of East Lake, the situation has been more serious than it is now many times.That’s right, apart from the problems with the hodgepodge of Donghu Machinery, the unsalable and overstocked coal, which led to a sharp decline in the performance of mining companies, and since the end of last year, the housing prices in Hiraizumi stopped rising for several years, and the finished houses began to be unsalable. The business situation of Donghu Real Estate Company, the pillar of Donghu Group, has deteriorated.The consequences of the superposition of problems are firstly reflected in the flow of funds. In June, high-level executives convened consecutive meetings to study countermeasures. The decision-making level was relatively unanimous in their judgment on the situation. They believed that as far as the business scope of Donghu Lake was concerned, it would experience a "cold wave period" and more concentrated My opinion is to simultaneously shrink the front line on the three major sectors and cut projects and expenditures.

But the big boss Tang Yikun disagreed with this countermeasure.Whether it is shrinking the front line or reducing projects, it will inevitably lead to the shrinking of Donghu Industrial's scale and a series of problems, such as the debt crisis and layoff crisis. The government may not support the group's strategy.Tang Yikun believes that even if, as you said, the economy will enter a downward channel, or an economic crisis, so what?The crisis is fair to everyone, we are uncomfortable, but the competitors are comfortable?What is the crisis?It is a combination of danger and opportunity.In my opinion, not only can't shrink, but we must work hard to expand.Of course, the expansion is not all-round, and the key points should be determined to ensure the effect...

Xu Chengyan participated in that top-secret internal seminar, although he was not a member of the board of directors.Xu Chengyan fully understands what Tang Yikun said about determining the focus, which is to concentrate resources on the East Lake Real Estate under Qi Zhen's management.Sure enough, Wei Shegang, who seldom publicly opposed Tang Yikun at the meeting, was the first to raise doubts. The focus of what the chairman said was the construction of Hiraizumi New City, right?I don't object to our active participation in the construction of Hiraizumi New City, but I object to the group's attempt to "guide" the government's decision-making, nothing else, the risk is too great.Rather than pouring huge sums of money into a project that has not yet received formal approval, it is better to take care of the present.Many enterprises under Donghu Machinery have bright prospects and should be supported.Donghu Mining is the foundation of the group, and it must not be abandoned because of the temporary difficulties in the mining industry.In short, I agree with the policy of patience proposed by most people. The macroeconomy has its own laws of operation. We must respect objective laws when we have developed to this point.

Xu Chengyan understood what Wei Shegang meant by "guiding" government decision-making.This is also the secret of Tang Yikun's success in the real estate market. After finding out the basic ideas of the main local decision-makers on urban construction, Donghu always "induced" the government's planning and provided strong positive support for the government's decision-making.Its investment has been recovered in the "correct" decision-making without exception, and not only that, but also brought huge profits to East Lake. Anyone would like to see a "win-win" situation...but Donghu Real Estate's income under normal investment projects is much lower!For example, the Emerald Garden real estate with huge investment and high hopes was deliberately advertised as the most high-end and most humanistic real estate in Hiraizumi City. The actual situation since its opening was much worse than the publicity. Xu Chengyan has heard of it...

Sure enough, Tang Yiwei, president of Donghu Machinery, immediately agreed with Wei Shegang's speech.Of course he hopes that the group will pay more attention to Donghu Machinery, instead of the previously determined selling policy...

Xu Chengyan noticed that Tang Yikun's face was very ugly at that time.He knew that the root cause of Wei Shegang's opposition was not the macroeconomic situation, but the family infighting that gradually surfaced.Thinking of this, Xu Chengyan shuddered.
