It shouldn't be like this. I really tried my best, but why did things still go wrong?
"Could it be that it was wrong from the very beginning?"
Gao Yuliang said, "The guess is not wrong. It's just that Xu Lei never thought much of Dafeng Factory from the beginning. To be precise, Xu Lei was just throwing money around to play around. Don't you understand?"
"Was Xu Lei's initial target the Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, Xu Lei's goal is the Chamber of Commerce, to unite the merchants. And the best way to unite the merchants is to create an enemy that everyone likes. You know what the documents above say now? Some people say, don't do business in Jingzhou, you won't make a penny and you'll even lose money there."
Qi Tongwei said, "Teacher."
"I've said it before, don't call me 'teacher' at work. How many times do I have to say it?"
Qi Tongwei saw the disappointment in Gao Yuliang's eyes for the first time.
This feeling made Qi Tongwei feel very insecure, just like the time when he was shot three times and almost died.
“You did nothing wrong. The mistake is your lack of perspective. Jingzhou is changing now.”
"Xu Lei is doing one thing: eliminating gift-giving. He doesn't like being controlled. You consider Xu Lei a potential enemy, but don't you understand his perspective? Qi Tongwei, I'm very disappointed in you. Can't you see all the composure you've cultivated over the years?"
Qi Tongwei sighed silently.
At that moment, Gao Yuliang opened his phone and looked at the news.
"Choose one person to send off. If you don't, don't worry about the future."
Qi Tongwei silently walked out of Gao Yuliang's office, and then called Zhao Ruilong. Zhao Ruilong was taken aback when he heard the call.
Then he started laughing and said, "Hahaha, who should I give it to? Or, how about I be given away instead? What do you think?"
"Zhao Ruilong, this is not the time for jokes. Do you really think your things are safe?"
"How scary. What's wrong, Director Qi Tongwei? You seem to have been doing quite well lately. Why don't you arrest me and use me as part of your performance record? I think I'm more suited to being a big tiger or something."
P.S.: Please support me, thank you everyone.

Chapter 124 Zhao Ruilong Loses Money (Please subscribe, thank you)
At the Chamber of Commerce, a group of people gathered together. Xu Lei watched with a smile as everyone discussed the matter animatedly, but for the moment he had no solution.
"Trust me, business opportunities are coming soon. Why keep thinking about the Bright Peak project in big cities?"
The Guangming Peak project, worth over 26 billion yuan, is truly captivating to these people. This amount of money is small for Xu Lei, but it is very attractive to others.
"Mr. Xu, you have a large and powerful family business, so you may not care, but we can't afford it."
Xu Lei said, "I know, that's why I said the opportunity is coming soon. You don't need to rush. The development of Guangming Peak is actually a semi-industrial and semi-tourism area. It's meaningless for you to be thinking about this."
Everyone listen to Xu Lei.
Gao Xiaoqin handed the document to Xu Lei, who said, "Today, wait a bit, I'm about to write the news."
Writing news?
Soon, everyone's cell phones started ringing.
Instantly, everyone was in an uproar.
Holy crap, holy crap.
"The high-speed rail has been launched."
Xu Lei happily lit a cigarette and said, "Seeing you answer the phone, I knew what you were thinking. The high-speed rail is coming. What do you think will happen to Guangming Peak?"
"It will appreciate in value and its price will rise."
Xu Lei said, "Yes, the previous valuation was probably 26 billion, but what about now?"
"Four hundred, five hundred? Or even more, damn it, we really can't handle this."
Can't answer?
Not only could these chambers of commerce not handle it, but no one else could either; nobody could take it on.
Xu Lei smiled unconsciously, and the audience below took a deep breath.
Good heavens, this plan is truly insidious!
"I know you've all been scammed before, so if that's the case, then nobody should play this project."
The group of 063 people nodded to each other and said, "Mr. Xu, what are you planning to develop in Lincheng?"
"Everyone, just follow me and do a good job selling products on YY. As for the profits, you can see for yourselves."
Gao Xiaoqin distributed the documents, and the group compared and reviewed them.
When they saw the flowing water, everyone was shocked.
"The emergence of high-speed rail will be accompanied by the emergence of logistics in the future, and grasping logistics and these things is the most crucial thing."
One businessman stood up and said, "Does that mean brick-and-mortar stores will be hit hard?"
Xu Lei said, "It depends on how you look at it. Physical stores can also sell their own goods. In the future, there may be some impact, but everyone can survive. It depends on individual ability. Times are moving forward, and we can't stop others from making money."
The group exchanged glances, realizing one thing: if Xu Lei were to expand further, it would inevitably impact the local economy, and this economic development would inevitably lead to changes in the economic systems of countless people.
The news of the high-speed rail completely disrupted Qi Tongwei's plans. Qi Tongwei had already chosen someone to step forward, but now things were in complete chaos.
The speed of high-speed rail, and the fact that an egg can stand upright when a high-speed rail starts moving, have both refreshed everyone's understanding.
This was groundbreaking, and it truly became a reality.
Meanwhile, Xu Lei's phone had already been bombarded with messages.
As the chief designer, Xu Lei has the right to speak. In other words, it is up to Xu Lei to decide which city to develop in and which city to build high-speed rail in.
"Xu Lei, where do you recommend opening a high-speed rail line in the next phase?"
This statement is actually quite subtle.
Xu Lei thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to Lincheng. A lot of things have been moved here, so let's go to Lincheng."
"Shouldn't it be Jingzhou?"
Xu Lei said, "If you can go to Jingzhou to build the high-speed railway, I have no problem with it, but you'll have to handle it yourselves, I won't be responsible."
"Um, okay, I'll ask here."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lei counted on his fingers, thinking, "The show has only just begun; don't stop now."
Meanwhile, someone quickly began investigating the matter in Jingzhou, and the first person questioned was Sha Ruijin.
"It's very troublesome here at the high-speed rail station. Is it on your side?"
Sha Ruijin said, "It's no trouble at all. This is a good thing to promote local progress, how could it be troublesome?"
"However, I've noticed that things seem a bit off in Jingzhou lately. Many companies that have invested have withdrawn. Aren't you going too far?"
Sha Ruijin said, "I'm handling it as quickly as possible, but... well, you know what's going on above."
"What's wrong with being above? You don't have anyone above you; you have the people behind you."
Sha Ruijin said, "Okay, no problem, I will do my best to handle it."
"Who is it, so arrogant?"
"It's nothing, just Zhao Ruilong's side."
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Zhao Lichun's son?"
Sha Ruijin said, "Yes."
“Oh, we’re here on the high-speed rail for a project, so we’re not very familiar with these things. But I can still make a phone call. After all, if the high-speed rail were built in a small city, Jingzhou would lose all face.”
The phone hangs up.
Sha Ruijin smiled involuntarily, realizing that by throwing the question up there, it wouldn't really concern him anymore.
The main problem right now is that we haven't found any evidence against He Ruilong. To be precise, we've caught some, but not many.
Sha Ruijin's goal was to capture him once and for all, so that he could never recover. Otherwise, if he alerted them, they would be even more cautious and act more covertly.
Therefore, we must eliminate this problem at its source.
Soon, the door to Zhao Lichun's office was pushed open.
"I heard there's been a lot going on in Jingzhou."
Zhao Lichun asked, "Boss, what's this?"
"It's nothing. The high-speed rail has just started. Chief designer Xu Lei is doing a good job. It's just that I heard Dafeng Factory hasn't settled down yet. I don't know why."
"Oh my god, is that even possible?"
"Hmm, it seems there are other companies that are also unwilling to invest in Jingzhou. This is a big deal; if no one is willing to invest, the construction of the high-speed rail will be very difficult."
Zhao Lichun said, "Okay, I'll call and ask."
"Sigh, just ask around, what era are we living in? Why are people still so xenophobic? Seriously, who's been indulging this bad habit?"
"Boss, who can argue with that?"
"Spring Begins, don't bring any trouble upon yourself in your later years, that would be bad, you're already so old, aren't you?"
Zhao Lichun remained silent.
The leader left.
The call was dialed.
"Zhao Ruilong, what's going on with the Dafeng Factory?"
................................
Zhao Ruilong was completely dumbfounded and didn't understand at all. He said, "Dafeng Factory really has nothing to do with me. It was Cai Chenggong who insisted on embezzling more money. I really didn't get involved at all."
"This is not a matter for you to get involved or not. Everyone in Jingzhou knows that it is your territory."
Zhao Ruilong was dumbfounded. When did he become so powerful?
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Ruilong said, "It seems like I've been tricked."
Zhao Lichun said, "You're only finding out now? You're only finding out now? Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile, to keep a low profile?"
Zhao Ruilong said, "I know, so now, what should I do?"
"Pay up the money, get the high-speed rail project done, and hand over the money. There might be room for negotiation. That's the only way now. Jingzhou's future is definitely going to be positive. You should rein in your behavior."
"But right now, I'm taking on the Guangming Peak project."
"Then throw it away. Throw away the Bright Peak project. Do you want the project, or do you want to live?"
Zhao Ruilong said, "Okay, I understand. I'll go and bid on it."
"Remember this: for the high-speed rail project, don't think about making money. Get it done perfectly, one nail at a time. If there's even the slightest problem, you're as good as dead. I can't afford to mess with the people in charge of the inspection. Nobody will give you face, and nobody will care about you. But you can't afford to cause any trouble."
Soon after, Zhao Ruilong called Sha Ruijin and said, "Hey boss, I heard that the high-speed rail is coming to Jingzhou?"
"That's what I mean, so what?"
"I want to contribute to the country. I want to contract the high-speed rail project. I guarantee I won't make a single penny, but I'll help everyone get busy. Is that okay?"
"Haven't you been working on the Bright Peak project all along?"
"Sigh, I don't have that ability, boss."
"Let's go back to the bidding process and see for yourselves."
Zhao Ruilong hung up the phone.
Sha Ruijin laughed unrestrainedly; for the first time, he felt so good.
He called Xu Lei and said, "Hahaha, you were right! Zhao Ruilong really took the money. By the way, do you think this guy will take things seriously?"
"Yes, I will definitely put in 120% effort and there will be no slackening."
"That's fine then. The Bright Peak project has fallen out of the picture. Are you going to take it on?"
Xu Lei thought for a moment and said, "My personal suggestion is not to take on this project. Actually, I have seen Guangming Peak. The surrounding hillsides and forests are excellent green resources. Just protect them and develop them into tourism. People should not have too much contact with them, and we can leave everything else alone."
"Uh, that's true..."
Xu Lei said, "Well, you can understand that I care more about the environment. Natural, untouched things are really great; I've always felt that way."
