Revival Road

Chapter 222 Heart-to-heart and confrontation

Tao Tang didn't expect Tang Yikun to come to him to talk about Sun Dunquan.It was already eleven o'clock at night, he had just showered and was going to bed.

"Old Tao, I didn't do this. You must believe me!" Tang Yikun said to Tao Tang with a gloomy face, "I just came from the hospital, and Sun Dun doesn't know anything about it, but you must believe me! At this time , am I stupid?!"

"But, you once sent someone to threaten him!" Tao Tang was not polite, and he didn't even give up his seat.

"Yes, I once asked Xu Chengyan to persuade Lao Sun. I wanted to give him a sum of money, and stop lying about that damn book! Lao Sun was used as a gun, you know?!" Tang Yikun didn't care, He sat down opposite Tao Tang and lit a cigar.

"Wait, why are you looking for me so late?"

"Two things. First, I would like to ask you to say a few good words to Secretary Lu for your brother. Don't refuse, I know your relationship with Secretary Lu. Second, if you have time to persuade Lao Sun, don't be stupid, and hate me for doing it." Well? I really didn't do it." As he spoke, Tang Yikun put a card on the coffee table.

"If you want to give it, you go directly to him. I won't do it for you, and I'm not your secretary..." Tao Tang glanced at the card, "Old Tang, it's just the two of us today, don't hide it from anyone." Tuck it in. You said, Dunquan was beaten because of that book?"

"I think so."

"It's good to admit it. Secondly, did that book touch your sore spot?"

"That's out of the question." Tang Yikun put out his cigar after two puffs, "Actually, I haven't read that book, even if he bury me, bury Donghu, I won't send someone to trouble him. Because neither of us If you are a child, it is not solving the problem, but creating a bigger problem. Just relying on his book, you can't make Donghu dirty. If Donghu is so weak, it would have closed its doors and closed its business..."

"That's true." Tao Tang nodded, "So, there's no need to argue with Lu Yaozu, is there? But even if it's not you, it has something to do with you. Right? Old Tang, if Sun Dunquan wrote about East Lake, then the book I really read the book, and I read it most of the night last night, I really despise your style... In other words, I don't want to deal with companies like Donghu."

"Since you say that, let's have a good chat." Tang Yikun lit his cigar again, "Old Tao, tell me first that you came to Red Star to take the helm, did I feel sorry for you?"

"That's not true. However, it's all for the company, and I don't appreciate it."

"Why don't you appreciate it? If it's not because of you, why should I give up more shares to Red Star? Why should I pay in advance? Hmm? Don't talk about things like yours, Red Star is you, you are Red Star. Same Li, Donghu is me, and I am Donghu.”

Tao Tang snorted, "This is your reason. You can say that you are Donghu, but I cannot say that I am Red Star."

"Tao Tang, I didn't expect you to look down on me in the past, and now you're still the same! Now that we've broken it, let's talk about it. First, put away your pretentious false arrogance. Maybe I can't do that. Come on. But you can’t do what I do! Yes, we have never followed the same road. You are just the lucky one on your road. Study well, get admitted to a prestigious school, and enter a large central enterprise group. The watchdog of state-owned assets. Don’t get me wrong, I’m just praising you. I basically understand everything you do in Red Star. At least now, you are more different, and I admire you. Why do you say this?* *****Excuse me, your incorruptibility and prudence have nothing to do with today's conversation. By the way, you said you don't like my style, right? How do you understand the hardships of self-made? I Don't be cruel to yourself and others, can you build such an East Lake in 20 years? How many jobs have I solved for the government and how much tax have I paid? What right do you have to look down on me?"

Tao Tang became interested, "Old Tang, I agree with one sentence in the passage just now, we are not the same kind of people. But the other sentence is a fictional question, when did I underestimate you?"

"Pretend, keep pretending. Can I have a glass of water?"

"I want to drink tea and make my own. I don't need to be waited on or waited on."

Tang Yikun really made himself a cup of tea, "I repeat, I didn't do that!"

"Then, why did you send someone to bribe Sun Dunquan?"

"Of course it's for Xincheng! I'm no longer a little caterpillar who just worked hard. Now my every move is watched by people. I don't know who was bewitched by Sun Dunquan to write a book to bury me. It has caused a bad influence on me. Of course I want to stop it. Now One of my main methods is to buy, spending money can solve most of the troubles."

"But you didn't deal with Old Sun, did you?"

"Yes, he refused. Of course, it doesn't rule out that my client messed up!"

"So you endured it for a month, and finally made a move."

"No. Don't think how amazing that stupid book is. How many decent people are reading it now? Those who can pose a threat to me will never lie on the computer and read those shit." Tang Yikun took a sip of tea, " You've been busy lately, I've been even busier, we've both been busy with the same thing, and to be honest, I've almost fucking forgotten that book! And, Tao Tang, you've always been a smart guy, even though you've never You are all hypocrites, but I admit that you are a smart person. If you were you, would you do such a nutritious thing?"

Tao Tang really thought about it, and the answer is no.Because what you get is out of proportion to what you give.If you are worried about the web article that is still being serialized, there are at least ten ways to solve it, but you will never send someone to break Sun Dunquan's fingers.

Tang Yikun calmed down a lot, "Tao Tang, let's talk openly today, why do you oppose Hiraizumi New City?"

"First, I consider it from the standpoint of Red Star. Second, I think the gain outweighs the loss... Besides, Lu Yaozu is my friend, and I don't want to see him bear a heavy burden for this."

"Okay, I agree with this sentence. At least it is not hypocritical. But I think you are too low-level, and you should not oppose this big project in public or private."

"Oh, I would like to hear about it."

"Well, let's talk about it from a different angle. Tao Tang, who do you think is the greatest contribution to society, your Red Star or my East Lake?"

"Let's listen to you."

"I don't think Red Star can compare to East Lake! The total number of employees under East Lake is 2.3, and Red Star, 2? It's about the same in terms of employment. Last year, East Lake's total operating income was 175 billion, which is the most in the past three years. The lowest year. How much is Red Star? Is it enough to be 100 billion? Ah, it’s meaningless to talk about GDP, let’s talk about profits and taxes. How much tax does Red Star pay in a year? Sorry, the number of Donghu is probably ten times yours! This is real gold Silver, is it unfairer than taxation? East Lake provides more than a quarter of Hiraizumi’s financial revenue, how about you? Even if you revitalize Red Star, how much can you pay? Dare you brag and break the total profit and tax of Red Star within five years? One billion?"

"It's unfair for you to compare like this. Where does your profit mainly come from? Is it Donghu Machinery or Donghu Mining? You can freely choose the sunrise industry, but I can't. Red Star not only solves more than 2 state-owned employees, but also thousands of workers. There are a large group of employees, and there are tens of thousands of family members. Do you know how many retirees Red Star has? The total number exceeds my current number of employees, and the expenses outside of overall planning alone are as much as 5000 million! If Red Star collapses and goes bankrupt, Hiraizumi City will How much burden do you carry?"

"Outside of overall planning? Is Red Star's retirement expenses upside down or upside down? If you are allowed to pay for it yourself, can you afford it? How much does the social security fund lean towards you? Can it be said that Donghu is supporting your Red Star? Alright," Tang Yikun He slapped his arm hard, "I know what you're going to say, we don't have to talk about macroeconomics. Since we are talking about the burden of Red Star, since you have been working for Red Star's welfare, why do you oppose the launch of the new city? There are several universities squatting next to Red Star How many business opportunities will it bring you? How many jobs will be solved for the children of Red Star? Will it promote the rise of the house price of Red Star? Will it bring benefits to the families of employees?"

"However, you never considered the question of government debt..."

Tang Yikun interrupted Tao Tang again, "I'm not the mayor, let alone ****, why should I think about it? Oh, I forgot, you may enter the government, but I think you think too much It's far, far away."

"What nonsense! When am I going to the government?"

"I don't believe Lu Yaozu didn't tell you."

"Lu Yaozu didn't tell me anything. That's right, we're friends, at least for now. But he's a politician, I'm not. A politician never tells his right hand what his left hand does."

"Haha, that's a good point. I heard a rumor from Zhou Hongyou. Ever since you came out to pour cold water on Hiraizumi New City, Secretary Lu deliberately recruited you under his command and asked you to be in charge of the construction of the new city."

"Absolutely impossible!" This time it was Tao Tang who struck, "If he has this idea, he will not hide it from me!"

"Look, you get dizzy when you encounter vital interests? Who said just now that the left hand doesn't tell the right hand?"

"The topic is far away, turn back!"

"Okay, let's reopen the topic. I think we talked well..." Tang Yikun lit another cigar, "Old Tao, what is your ideal in life? Can you tell me? Don't tell me that you just want to Revitalize the Red Star."

"At present, my ideal is really for this. Believe it or not. I actually don't have any ideals. I only think about that position. It has been like this in the past, and it will be like this in the future... I would like to hear what your ideal is. What?"

"It's very simple, earn more money, have more beautiful women, let more people crawl under my feet!"

"Haha," Tao Tang laughed loudly.

"What are you laughing at? When I was sitting in the fucking classroom with you, I thought so, really. I don't think there's anything wrong with my ideals. But I never said it to anyone. I know you're educated Big, I can’t do it, I don’t know much about history, I like the Three Kingdoms, let me ask you, heroes of the Three Kingdoms, who do you like the most?”

"Speak yours, I'm all ears."

"I like Cao Cao the most! A real hero, a real man! I would rather let the world down than let the world down on me! What is hypocrisy, fame and fame? Who doesn't like money and beautiful women? There are more important goals than money and beautiful women! Just like you," Tang Yikun looked at the pensive Tao Tang playfully, "you came to Red Star like an ascetic, not to improve yourself? Maybe you will reject Lu Yaozu's recommendation, but I advise you to accept it. I actually hope that you will lead the construction of the new city. It is a bit serious to say that you are a hypocrite. I apologize. Although I took all my family and relatives out of Red Star, this is my root, and I still regard me as a child of Red Star in my heart. , you wholeheartedly seek the interests of the red star, I admire."

"Go around, just go around."

"Speaking of it, there are actually two things. First, I didn't do what happened to the old grandson. But it can't be ruled out that it was done by the Red Star people. The stall is big, and half-hearted people below are inevitable, and it's not the one who wants to bring me down. No, I admit it. But I didn’t do it! Second, I hope to have a happy cooperation in the Xincheng project, both for your Red Star and for my East Lake. We both strive to achieve a win-win situation!”

Tao Tang looked at his watch, "Get out, the waiter won't be able to sleep if you don't leave."

"You promised?"

"What do I promise?"

"Well, you don't have to agree to anything. You have your own way of doing things... You can give this money to Lao Sun for me, as my personal compensation to him, because I basically conclude that the problem happened in East Lake ..."

"You can just say that... I hope you can solve the internal problems as soon as possible. You take the money, I am not your clerk. Let me tell you, not everyone agrees with you. Get out, last night basically No sleep, I'm going to sleep."
