Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Chapter 426 Superconducting Scam

At six o'clock in the evening, following Shen Xiuwen's order, the official officially began the clearing operation.

Prior to this, a considerable number of people in the strike team chose to retreat.

After all, ideals cannot be eaten.

You must know that in the current general environment, if you lose your job, the whole family will return to poverty in an instant, and it may even face a precarious predicament.

However, there were still tens of thousands of miners who chose to stay. This group of miners did not use violence to resist, but sat quietly in the city hall square, preparing to hold on to the end.

In addition, some ordinary people who came to support gathered in the square, numbering about 2000 people. They carried some self-defense weapons, such as sticks, steel pipes and a small number of knives.

Conflict between the two parties is inevitable.

……

Overnight, the city hall square was in a mess, and as for the strikers, they disappeared.

Shen Xiuwen looked at the sanitation workers who were working hard to clean the square, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The situation last night was extremely dangerous and almost got out of control.

Fortunately, at the last moment, President Baron chose to stand up and persuaded the high-level members of the trade union who were determined to resist to the end, especially Barbara, who had a knife on her neck and was ready to die at any time.

But even so, it still caused a lot of casualties. Most of these casualties were ordinary people who came to support them. They paid the price of their lives in the process of blocking the military and police.

It is ironic to say that none of the high-level miners headed by Baron and Barbara was injured, and all of them retreated safely.

Back in the office, Shen Xiuwen calmed down, and then made a phone call to the consul.

Zhang Hao also stayed up all night, watching the live broadcast all night in the temporary office, and only went to the bedroom for a while when the overall situation was settled.

"Mayor Shen, what's going on in the square?"

"It's over. The miners and citizens have left the square one after another. Baron, the union president, agreed to dissolve the union and no longer seek so-called procedural justice."

Shen Xiuwen replied.

Zhang Hao yelled "Okay", followed by instructions: "For the next finishing work, don't take it lightly, you must be cautious and cautious, try to be gentle, and don't stimulate the nerves of Australians."

"Consul, don't worry, we will do a good job in dealing with the aftermath." Shen Xiuwen quickly assured.

"Very well, there is one more thing that you need to pay attention to."

"What did you say?"

"For all the miners who participated in the strike, whether they were stubborn to the end or quit midway, they will not be allowed to be promoted within ten years." Zhang Hao said without hesitation.

Although these people cannot be held criminally responsible, they should be punished, at least their future will be cut off.

There are two main advantages to doing this:

On the one hand, it is to prevent these people from being in high positions and posing hidden dangers to the federation; on the other hand, it is also to scare the monkeys and avoid the expansion of the strike wave.

After all, these days, the threat posed by strikes is second only to civil war. As we all know, many sudden mass incidents, if a little careless, can easily escalate into anti-official and anti-social catastrophic consequences.

Shen Xiuwen thought for a while, and couldn't help persuading: "Consul, your concerns are right, but I don't think we can make a one-size-fits-all approach. This will easily arouse their common hatred, and we should divide them."

"Oh? Mayor Shen, what's your opinion?"

Zhang Hao became interested.

"This is how I think, for union members, we can promote as usual, and even give special preferential treatment, but for those miners who participated in the strike, we strictly limit their promotion path.

In this way, there are two advantages. One is to divide them from the inside and destroy their unity; the other is to transfer the hatred of the miners to the union members, which is in our best interest. "

Shen Xiuwen replied in detail.

After hearing these words, Zhang Hao was convinced on the spot, and praised him greatly: "Wonderful, wonderful! Mayor Shen, your method is better, much better than mine."

"Consul, you are too generous. In fact, this method of pulling one faction against another is very common among the grassroots. You have never worked in the grassroots before, so you may not be familiar with it." Shen Xiuwen said modestly.

"No matter how the method came about, as long as it is easy to use." Zhang Hao smiled, and then gave instructions: "There is no need to discuss it, just follow the method you said!"

"Yes, Consul, but..."

Shen Xiuwen pretended to be hesitant to speak.

"What? Any other questions?"

Zhang Hao asked along the way.

Shen Xiuwen let out a long sigh, and tentatively said cautiously: "Consul, what I want to say is that the casualties last night were a bit beyond expectations, I wonder if the higher-ups will hold them accountable..."

"What are you afraid of? I'll take care of this matter for you. If anyone dares to touch you, unless I get out of the stage first."

Zhang Hao said without hesitation.

In any case, the other party completely carried out his order this time, and he couldn't do anything like cross the river and demolish the bridge.

In a way, this also happens to show that he is not yet a full-fledged politician.

Shen Xiuwen was overjoyed immediately: "Then I will trouble you!"

"Mayor Shen, don't have any psychological burden, and finish the finishing work with peace of mind. I will give you a credit when the time comes." Zhang Hao urged.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Shen Xiuwen said categorically.

……

At the same time, the bloody conflict that occurred in Rockhampton inevitably spread back to the mainland. Although the TV station did not broadcast it live, the Internet was filled with a large number of live videos, many of which contained bloody and violent content.

However, the heat of this matter did not last long, and was soon replaced by another news.

June 6nd, Children’s Day has just passed.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the Eastern Academy of Sciences and Shuguang Company suddenly announced the latest research progress of the "normal temperature superconductivity" event. Unexpectedly, SG-101 turned out to be a super big oolong.

As for the specific process, it will not be explained here.

In short, such a major mistake occurred under various chances and coincidences. In other words, the research on "room temperature superconductivity" still has a long way to go.

In order to make up for his mistakes and to give an explanation to the whole people, Professor Chen Benrong announced his resignation.

When Zhang Guoji saw the news, he felt bad and panicked.

Because just half a month ago, he sold a total of 11.25% of Suguang's shares, and then harvested 1251 billion in cash in one fell swoop.

Right now, this huge amount of money is sitting quietly in his bank account.

Mitsui Mie who was on the side quickly reminded: "Husband, this matter is too involved, we can't handle it, why don't you call Dad immediately?"

"Father" in her mouth, of course, refers to Zhang Hao.

"Yes, yes, I will fight now."

After Zhang Guoji finished speaking, he immediately took out his mobile phone.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Dad, something is wrong, I'm in big trouble, please help me find a way..."

"What happened? Take your time."

Zhang Hao frowned.

During this period of time, he focused all his attention on the strike and paid little attention to the local news, so he really didn't know about it.

Zhang Guoji took a deep breath of his cigarette and hurriedly explained: "Dad, Shuguang Company just announced that there were major flaws in their superconducting project."

"What major flaw?"

Zhang Hao hurriedly asked.

"To put it simply, do you still have an impression of the room-temperature superconducting material SG-101 they discovered before? Now it has been proven to be a fake. It's so fucking deceptive."

Zhang Guoji was furious.

This is definitely not something you can get away with by getting your money back.

Next, once Shuguang Company is proven to have academic fraud, he cashed out more than 1000 billion, he will be held accountable, and his father may even be implicated.

"Fake?" Zhang Hao wasn't too surprised, he had expected it a long time ago, "Don't panic, this matter has nothing to do with our family..."

"But, I cashed out a total of more than 1000 and [-] billion..." Zhang Guoji said in a panic.

"This is a normal equity transaction, is there any problem?" Zhang Hao asked back.

"Dad, how could this be a normal transaction? I suspect that Shuguang Company deliberately faked it. This time, not only did I cash out so much money, Zhucheng officials and Eastern Academy of Sciences also cashed out a large amount of money. This is tricky at first glance."

Zhang Guoji analyzed carefully.

Zhang Hao reassured him patiently: "This time, Zhucheng officials and the Eastern Academy of Sciences are at the front, and when the sky falls, there is a tall man to support them. What do you have to worry about?"

"Uh..." After Zhang Guoji calmed down, he reacted quickly, so he probed softly: "Dad, did you know the truth from the beginning? That's why you suggested me to cash out some of the shares?"

"You kid is thinking too much, how could I know your father in advance? If I knew, in my capacity, I would never agree with them.

But having said that, I do have doubts. After all, this is room temperature superconductivity, known as the "Holy Grail" of modern physics, and it is definitely not so easy to achieve.

The reason why you are asked to sell part of the shares is in the final analysis a routine business operation. In fact, I have never stopped cashing out the shares over the years, but it is difficult to find buyers and the cashing out speed is relatively slow. "

Zhang Hao explained patiently.

"So that's what happened! Dad, your business sense is really sharp!"

Zhang Guoji said with sincere admiration.

From childhood to adulthood, under the nagging of his grandfather, his father has always been the idol of the four brothers. Now, he has finally seen how powerful his father is.

Zhang Hao took the opportunity to teach: "You still have a lot to learn, kid, so don't be complacent."

"Don't worry, I'm sober." Zhang Guoji paused, and then changed the topic: "Dad, what should we do with the 1000 billion? Do you want to return it..."

"What do you pay back? Investment is inherently risky, and it's normal to make money and lose money. Besides, if you return the money to others, doesn't it just show that you have ghosts in your heart?" Zhang Hao said unhappily.

"Dad, this is more than 1000 billion yuan. It's not a small amount of money. To be honest, I don't feel at ease with it. In case someone gets upset and goes to extremes to take revenge on our family..."

Zhang Guoji was full of worry.

Zhang Hao interrupted directly: "Don't worry, don't forget your father and my current identity, just relying on the appointment of the consul, isn't it worth tens of billions?"

Here is a brief introduction. Among all potential buyers, the Europas bid the highest, and thus won most of the shares.

The Europas are his allies, so they should not turn against him for the 1000 billion funds.

Besides, even if the normal-temperature superconducting project fails, Sugon is not worthless, and this time it will only lose tens of billions at most.

It might come back in the future.

Hearing this, Zhang Guoji immediately said anxiously:

"Dad, what you are doing is a transaction of power and money..."

"Okay, whether it's a power-for-money transaction, you and I have a sense of proportion, so don't worry about it.

Besides, have you ever thought about something?If you really return the money, wouldn't it make Zhucheng officials and the East Academy of Sciences unable to step down?Doing so will offend people. "

"Dad, you mean that Zhucheng officials and Eastern Academy of Sciences don't plan to pay back the money?" Zhang Guoji's eyes widened.

"Hmph, Pearl City Officials and Eastern Academy of Sciences are big spenders, how can they spit out the fat that has gone into their stomachs?"

"Black, it's too dark!"

Zhang Guoji muttered to himself.

He felt that his three views had been strongly impacted, and at the same time he had a profound understanding:
Once the officials scoop up money, they are fast and ruthless, making it impossible to guard against.

Zhang Hao is very busy with work and doesn't want to waste any more time, so he finally told him: "Stop talking nonsense, remember what I just said, this matter has nothing to do with our family, you boy, don't make any claims, if someone contacts you, you can just push it to me, did you hear that?"

"I heard it." Zhang Guoji felt relieved.

"Are there any other questions? I'm very busy here, so I didn't hang up beforehand." Zhang Hao asked casually.

"Wait." Zhang Guoji shouted quickly, "Dad, I want to ask you something. Everyone said that the incident in Rockhampton was your order? Is it true?"

"I gave the order, why? Is there a problem? What do people say about me? Are there many criticisms?"

Zhang Hao has long been mentally prepared for this.

"Dad, you..." Zhang Guoji couldn't help but sighed, and said tactfully: "Everyone's evaluation is polarized. Some people say you are a cold-blooded executioner; of course, some people say that you are very courageous and have the shadow of Roosevelt in you."

Theodore Roosevelt is a recognized strongman in the history of the Federation. If it hadn't been for this man who stood up to everyone's opinions and made a decisive move at a critical moment, the Federation would have almost disintegrated.

"Let them say, no matter what your dad does, I never care what other people think, I just want to have a clear conscience." Zhang Hao was obviously really angry.

You don't need to ask to know that someone must be contributing to the flames. Although the Rockhampton incident is not small, it is nothing compared to ten years ago.

In recent years, the situation has calmed down a little, so it attracts attention.

But it's not enough to cause trouble all over the city.

As a son of man, Zhang Guoji was not very good at evaluating his father's actions, so he simply said perfunctorily:

"Dad, I believe in you. Hurry up and get busy! I'll ask you for advice later when I have time."

"Well, tell your mother for me. I'll probably be back next month."

"When is next month?"

"If it goes well, it will probably be in the middle of the month!"
