Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1264 Picking Peaches

Wang Jianming said: "It's better not to say anything if you don't have evidence." In fact, he also suspected his second uncle Wang Zhengdao. Wang Zhengdao and Secretary Liang were old classmates, and they had always had a good relationship.

He Wanying asked, "What can't a family say directly? Why do you have to do this kind of trick?"

Wang Jianming laughed, "It may not be him. Lexing Group's interests have been damaged this time, and they have used various channels to put pressure on us, even using diplomatic means. Secretary Liang cannot have not heard about it."

He Wanying frowned and said, "The people in this country lack rationality, are blindly arrogant and extremely inferior, and are full of paranoia."

Wang Jianming said: "We can't generalize. Anyone who can create a multinational company like Lexing is definitely super rational."

He Wanying said, "Second Uncle should play the role of mediating and cooling down the conflict, rather than exacerbating it. He knows better than anyone that if this matter gets out of hand, it will have a bad impact on you."

If this incident has a bad impact on Wang Jianming, it is likely to affect his political future. Among the children of the Wang family, Wang Jianming is the one who is most promising in the future.

Wang Jianming didn't believe that his second uncle would do something that would only end up hurting himself. He said in a deep voice, "I don't know what role my second uncle plays in this."

He Wanying went to get another set of underwear and put it in the box: "Jianming, I heard that you asked Xu Chunliang to go to the Commerce Committee?"

Wang Jianming laughed: "Did he come to you?"

He Wanying shook her head: "No, I heard it from others."

Wang Jianming said: "He is a good candidate. I plan to let him join the negotiation team with Helexing Group."

He Wanying said, "With his temper, aren't you afraid that he might do you more harm than good?"

Wang Jianming said: "I am prepared for the worst."

He Wanying didn't say anything else and packed her suitcase silently. The pressure her husband faced was unimaginable to ordinary people, and all she could do was to support him silently.

Zhai Pingqing began to face a reality: Dongzhou should have found out the source of his 5 billion yuan, which increased the uncertainty of getting back all his investments in the short term. When Zhai Pingqing sought to meet Wang Jianming again, he learned that Wang Jianming had gone to the province.

Zhai Pingqing knew that if he wanted to get his investment back smoothly, it would be useless to ask anyone else unless Wang Jianming gave the order. He was very familiar with the working methods of various departments within the system. Even if he went to each department one by one and stamped each one with official seals, he still had to get Wang Jianming's approval in the end. As long as Wang Jianming nodded, everything else would be easy.

The withdrawal of investment was not going smoothly, and Lexing gave him an ultimatum. When Zhai Pingqing was at a loss, Wang Jiancheng called and said he wanted to meet him.

Zhai Pingqing and Wang Jiancheng had known each other for a long time, but there was no business dealings between them. Zhai Pingqing was very clear about Wang Jiancheng's background, and he had always wanted to make friends with him, but the Wang family had always been cautious in social relationships. Of course, it was also possible that they thought Zhai Pingqing's level was not high enough.

In fact, the person Zhai Pingqing wanted to meet more was Wang Zhengdao. The Dongzhou Sino-Korean Industrial Park was a collaboration between Zhengdao Group and Lexing Group. Considering the father-son relationship between Wang Zhengdao and Wang Jiancheng, Zhai Pingqing believed that Wang Jiancheng's appointment with him was most likely related to the Sino-Korean Industrial Park.

Wang Jiancheng has an office in Dongzhou, located in Huide Building in the High-tech Zone. From the window of his office he can overlook the construction site of the joint-stock hospital opposite.

Zhai Pingqing arrived at Wang Jiancheng's office as scheduled. When he saw the sign outside, he realized that Wang Jiancheng was also a director of Jishi Medical Health Group. Changxing Hospital was affiliated to Jishi Medical Health Group, and Jishi's owner was Equator Capital.

Zhai Pingqing couldn't help but recall that before he invested in the new infectious disease hospital, it was Equator Capital that got there first. Later, due to changes in the internal management of Equator Capital and the change in strategic direction, this project fell into his hands.

Wang Jiancheng's beautiful assistant appeared in front of Zhai Pingqing and led the way for him.

As Zhai Pingqing walked, he wondered if Wang Jiancheng was interested in the unfinished project in his hands. Now Dongzhou was making trouble with the details of the contract, and it was unlikely that they would get all the investment back in a short period of time. If he could find a buyer, Dongzhou would definitely be happy to see it happen.

Wang Jiancheng was wearing a grey stand-up collar sweater, black trousers, black-framed glasses and standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of coffee in his hand. It was a little dark outside and the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window reflected his figure as well as the movements behind him.

When Zhai Pingqing walked into the office, Wang Jiancheng turned around and greeted him with a smile, holding a cup of coffee in one hand and extending the other.

"Mr. Zhai, nice to meet you!"

Zhai Pingqing smiled and said, "I have wanted to meet Mr. Wang for a long time, but I have been busy with work recently. Today I finally have the opportunity."

Wang Jiancheng shook Zhai Pingqing's hand, invited him to sit down, and asked for his opinion: "Tea or coffee?"

Zhai Pingqing said he wanted to drink tea, and soon the beautiful assistant brought him a cup of black tea.

Zhai Pingqing did not rush to speak. He picked up the black tea and tasted it while observing Wang Jiancheng's office, which was quite large and a little exaggerated. He soon understood why Wang Jiancheng set up his office here.

Wang Jiancheng said: "I heard that Mr. Zhai is busy withdrawing his investment?"

Zhai Pingqing smiled and said, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels a thousand miles. This is no longer a secret."

Wang Jiancheng said: "Dongzhou has already promised to bear all losses and provide a piece of land with a better location. Why did Mr. Zhai choose to withdraw his investment?"

Zhai Pingqing sighed and said, "To be honest, after the project really started, I found that it was difficult to enter the traditional medical market. Moreover, my partner is the Infectious Disease Hospital, which is just a specialized hospital and cannot be compared with a Class 3A comprehensive hospital like Changxing."

Wang Jiancheng said: "I found it strange at the beginning. Mr. Zhai, who was doing so well in the field of health care and elderly care, chose to go into the fiercely competitive traditional medical field instead of taking the easy route."

Zhai Pingqing smiled bitterly and said, "Ideals are full of hope, but reality is very skinny. I have seen it clearly this time."

Wang Jiancheng asked, "Is the withdrawal of investment going smoothly?"

  Zhai Pingqing thought, Wang Jianming is your brother, how can you not know that? He was also very wary of Wang Jiancheng. Could this be a double act between the two brothers, working together to reap the benefits? If Wang Jianming instructed the relevant departments to delay the withdrawal process, and Wang Jiancheng used commercial means to lower his price, wouldn't that be troublesome?

Zhai Pingqing did not tell the truth, but nodded and said, "It's going smoothly so far. Secretary Wang has publicly stated that we investors are free to come and go. I am going through the relevant procedures and hope to withdraw my investment as soon as possible."

Wang Jiancheng thought to himself that this guy was still pretending to be rich. How could I not know what was going on with you? He took a sip of coffee and said slowly, "It would be best if everything went well. However, from what I know about the relevant departments, their efficiency is generally not ideal, and the withdrawal procedures are even more complicated."

Zhai Pingqing knew that what Wang Jiancheng said was true, and he was certain that he understood his current situation very well.

Although Wang Jiancheng is young, it does not mean that he lacks experience in business negotiations. He deliberately does not tell Zhai Pingqing the purpose of his meeting. Anyway, Zhai Pingqing is in a passive situation now, so he should be the one who loses his temper.

Zhai Pingqing decided to be more proactive: "Boss Wang, what advice do you have for me today?"

Wang Jiancheng smiled and said, "It's like this. A friend of mine is interested in the project you're working on, so he asked me to come and ask about it. Since President Zhai has already reached an agreement with Dongzhou on the withdrawal of investment, let's not talk about it. Let's have some tea."

Zhai Pingqing sighed inwardly, thinking that he had probably guessed it right. The two Wang brothers were teaming up to play a trick on him. This family was really dishonest and was simply abusing their power for personal gain.

Zhai Pingqing was unhappy, but he still wanted to hear the other party's offer, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, just tell me."

Wang Jiancheng said: "Then I'll tell you, Mr. Zhai, just take it as a joke. Anyway, I think the possibility is not high."

Zhai Pingqing nodded.

Wang Jiancheng said: "My friend is willing to pay 4.5 billion."

Zhai Pingqing frowned. 4.5 billion, wouldn't that mean a 90% discount on the 5 billion investment? What about the missing 500 million? If it was a hole of 100 or 200 million, he could talk to Lexing about it. Besides, his senior brother had said in advance that he would bear all the losses. 500 million was not a small number.

Zhai Pingqing smiled and said, "Mr. Wang's friend should know the total investment of my project. According to Dongzhou's promise, the location of the land will be much better than the current one, which means that the project itself has appreciated in value. Even if I transfer it at the original price, I will still lose money. After all, I still have the cost of occupying the funds."

Wang Jiancheng said: "I haven't finished speaking yet. The 4.5 billion includes your Kangjian Nursing Home."

  Zhai Pingqing was stunned. The other party's request was simply too high, which was tantamount to blatant robbery. He couldn't help but connect the recent suspension of Kangjian Nursing Home with the conversation in front of him. Could it be that all the arrangements were made to plunder his wealth?

Zhai Pingqing said: "Mr. Wang, your friend lacks sincerity." He knew very well that Wang Jiancheng's so-called friend should be himself.

Wang Jiancheng smiled and said, "I also think his conditions are a bit harsh. Everyone knows that President Zhai has invested 5 billion in the new hospital project of the Infectious Disease Hospital alone. It's a pity that he encountered such a big thing as archaeology. I was just casually helping him. If you don't agree, don't take it to heart and just ignore what I said."

Zhai Pingqing said: "Of course I won't take it to heart. Mr. Wang, thank you for your concern. I will still wait to withdraw my investment, at most I will sacrifice some time."

Wang Jiancheng said, "By the way, I heard that the real investor of Mr. Zhai's 5 billion is Mingde Group. Is this true?"

Zhai Pingqing laughed and said, "Nonsense." He cursed Wang Jianming in his heart, "You two brothers are ganging up on me."

Wang Jiancheng said: "Some transactions are reasonable but not necessarily legal. When doing business in our country, we must abide by domestic rules. Mr. Zhai is my predecessor in the business world and should know this better than me."
