Although Ye Qiu's posture is like a powerful king of beasts, Secretary Liu and Bai Zijie are not unknown people. I have never seen any scenes of storms? They will naturally not be scared. On the contrary, Secretary Liu still feels that Ye Qiu is exaggerating.

"Okay, please tell me, Mr. Ye, you are now French, how can you make 10 billion? So how can you let the people in Tianhai be slaughtered by others!"

Ye Qiu's expression slowed down and said, "What is the price of water in Tianhai now?"

Bai Zijie immediately replied: "Residents use water for 3 yuan per ton, and industrial use water for 5 yuan per ton."

Ye Qiu nodded and then said: "Suppose that per capita water use is 5 tons per month and 60 tons per year, and Tianhai's population is calculated to be 3 million, and nearly 200 million tons of domestic water will be used in a year. After I took over the water supply company, I proposed that the price of domestic water will rise to 5 yuan per ton next year. In this way, for a year of domestic water use, I will make an extra 400 million yuan based on the past profit. In addition, the price of industrial water has also increased by 2 yuan. It should be no problem to make 1 billion in the first year, and this will be a return."

Bai Zijie and Secretary Liu looked at each other. This arithmetic problem was very simple and clear at a glance. However, Secretary Liu frowned and refuted: "You will increase the water price by more than 60% at once. This is a nonsense, and the municipal government will not allow it!"

"Why doesn't the municipal government allow it? In the contract we signed, you have handed over the pricing power of the water price to me. Not to mention a 60% increase, even if I increase 600%, you can only be helpless. If administrative intervention in the business operation of our company, we will be in the Bogongtang! The company will stop operating. The city's water supply is affected, and this consequence is not a matter of money."

Ye Qiu blurted out the words that made Secretary Liu's face change. He picked up the contract and looked around, but after searching, he could not find the water price pricing right clause as Ye Qiu said.

He threw the contract on the table and said in a deep voice: "It's nonsense, how can we let the water supply company control the water price!"

Bai Zijie also felt inexplicable, and saw Ye Qiu calmly saying lightly: "The fifth line of the third page, what is that clause? The water supply company can adjust the water price according to the consumption level in Tianhai City. Do you understand the essence of this clause?"

The two men were like soldiers who were given orders. As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, they opened the contract again and searched carefully. There was really that clause.

But they didn't think there was anything wrong with this clause.

The water supply company will be contracted for twenty years.

The economic changes in the market, the cost of water resources, the consumption capacity of people, etc. in the past twenty years all determine that the water price cannot be static. Adjusting the water price based on consumption levels sounds very reasonable.

"Mr. Ye, can this clause allow the French to control the water price?"

Bai Zijie is an amateur in this regard. He must humbly ask for advice and lower his attitude. This is completely different from Secretary Liu's slap in the face and pretending to be fat.

Ye Qiu patiently explained: "The core concept of this clause is consumption level, that is, when the consumption level is high, the water price will rise. So, do you know what consumption level is? Is there a standard? Can it be quantified? Do you have statistical indicators in cities every year?"

Bai Zijie and Secretary Liu were speechless by this series of questions.

Business terms hide traps always use plausible concepts in people's minds to confuse the view. If you are not careful, you will fall into the trap. This is why when a famous company signs a contract, there will always be a huge team of lawyers to study the contract to ensure that the impact and consequences of each clause are not unexpected.

Ye Qiu sighed and said, "The French can say that housing prices have risen, which means that the consumption level of Tianhai has increased. Water prices will rise, pork will rise, water prices will rise, wage minimum standards will rise, water prices will rise, water prices will rise, after this contract is signed, the French can find many reasons to increase water prices, and how to define or compare consumption levels, no one has given a standard. The French can say with high sound that they have done research and that the consumption level in Tianhai is increasing. As long as it is not the Great Depression, they can make a lot of money.

If you make money from the people of Tianhai, you may say that housing prices have risen and meat have risen. This is not an increase in consumption level, but the burden on the people has increased. But the French can also not pay for it. They can eat food, clothing, housing and transportation, and not eat meat. There is no place to live, but people cannot drink water. I am bluntly saying that water is a strategic resource. The Tianhai Municipal Government was blinded by the wealth of more than one billion yuan. Have you ever thought about a very serious problem? It is common for people to die of starvation, but have you heard of people who can't afford to drink water and die of thirst?"

The two men were scared and still scared.

If what Ye Qiu said became a reality, when the water prices in Tianhai began to rise sharply and the municipal government could not intervene, the people complained that this leadership team would probably be laid off early, and even worse, they dare not think about it.

After Ye Qiu said this, they understood the conspiracy in the contract.

Ye Qiu continued: "If the Tianhai Municipal Government wants to rebuild the water supply system, at least it needs to replace the equipment, have a brand new water supply network, and industrial water is separated from domestic water. However, in the contract, the French only needs to pay 1.4 billion yuan to the Tianhai Municipal Government, and then they can lay off the water supply company and only retain the staff who collect money."

Secretary Liu's face looked extremely ugly and said in a deep voice: "Is this impossible? The French promised that they would fulfill our request!"

Ye Qiu casually said, "Is that so? I didn't see the contract."

What you promise is never important.

Secretary Liu opened the contract, pointed to a clause, and said, "Look, the French wrote clearly here, they will improve the situation of the water supply company."

Ye Qiu sneered and said, "Improvement? They can say that they have improved it if they add a new chair. What exactly they want to do is not written in the contract. Are you officials used to not saying it thoroughly on weekdays, just letting you guess it yourself and understand it. What you think is that the French fulfill your requirements. The French can say that improvement is to brush walls and repair doors in the future."

Bai Zijie and Secretary Liu were sweating coldly, but fortunately, they didn’t sign the contract!

In any case, Bai Zijie achieved his goal. He had reason to go back and persuade the mayor and other city leaders.

Although the two were criticized by Ye Qiu in the conference room and felt a little embarrassed, they still expressed their gratitude to Ye Qiu when they left.

He quickly returned to the municipal government and notified the mayor of the situation. The city held an emergency meeting.

Just on this day, the representative of the French company, De Bush, came to the municipal government to urge Tianhai to reach an agreement as soon as possible, while the municipal government used an excuse to send him away. After all, there were still three days before the deadline.

Debushi was dressed in a handsome suit and tie, and left the city government under the courtesy of the receptionist.

Walking out of the city government gate, Debuch got into a Mercedes-Benz. After he got into the car, the driver slowly started the sedan. In the back seat, Debuch respectfully said to another white man beside him: "Things should not change. The Tianhai Municipal Government will sign a contract with me within three days. Mr. Schneider, we can go to the next step."

Schneider nodded slightly. He was playing with his cell phone in his hand and suddenly looked at the screensaver of the phone. It was a photo of a man's upper body, which was exactly Tang Xin.

In the evening, Ye Qiu returned home and chatted with Tang Xin in the study about meeting with Bai Zijie during the day. Tang Xin only thought that listening to boring trivial matters was not at all relieved.

The next day, Tang Xin worked routinely in the group headquarters office. Today, Chu Ting did not send him flowers, nor did she have cards.

Sometimes people are cheap. Tang Xin really spent ten minutes thinking about this woman, but suddenly he couldn't see the fresh red roses and cards. Instead, he felt a little disappointed.

Maybe she gave up.

Fifty years?

It may not be possible that no one can express his love in fifty years.

He Yan knocked at the door at the office door and said to Tang Xin who looked up at her, "The beautiful host wants to see you."

Tang Xin frowned. Maybe he was looking forward to seeing the roses sent by Chu Ting, but he would be disgusted with the other party coming to the door.

It's better not to be stubborn because of yesterday's incident.

"Let her come in."

Tang Xin stood up and walked to the window, put his hands in his pockets and his back towards the door.

After a while, the crisp sound of high heels came. Chu Ting was wearing a workplace suit today, full of the aura of a white-collar beauty. She seemed to be more mature overnight, like a ripe apple, delicate and charming.

She walked into the office and saw Tang Xin facing her without any intention of turning around. She immediately understood what Tang Xin meant.

"Tang Xin, don't get me wrong. I'm not here to pester you. I just have something to listen to your opinion."

Tang Xin didn't say anything, wait for the following.

Chu Ting Surong said: "This morning, the TV station received a message that the Tianhai Municipal Government will contract the water supply company to a French company, and the two parties will sign a contract soon. The TV station received a message that this French company, Hongxin Group, has shares. Do you think this news can be published?"

Tang Xin said in a faint voice: "If Hongxin Group invests in a company that is not a thousand, there must be hundreds of companies. The relationship between companies is complicated and I don't know. You should go to others to verify. If it is true, then you have the right to publish news without asking me."

Chu Ting whispered: "Okay, I understand, goodbye."

She walked away without looking back. She really didn't come to pester Tang Xin, and she wouldn't threaten this man with what happened yesterday.

Tang Xin stood in front of the window and pondered for a long time, and finally sighed inexplicably.

Loving others and being loved are two completely different emotional needs.

Tang Xin has always cared for his beloved women, took risks or created romance for them, and he also hoped that someone could treat him like this, even though it would make him a little weak.

But people can control rationality, but it is difficult to completely suppress emotional needs.

For him, being determined is a dream, and how many years does a person have to live?

For Tang Xin, if she could do this, this romance of guarding would touch him so much.

Just when Tang Xin was in a daze, someone came to his office again.

"I don't want to be disturbed, please leave."

"Tang Xin, I have something urgent to look for you."

When Tang Xin heard this voice, he turned around in confusion and saw Xia Qingying wearing formal clothes. As a staff member of the National Security Department, she could not wear police uniforms, sometimes to conceal her identity.

"You took me out two hours ago. What urgent happened during this period?"

Xia Qingying walked up to him, and said with a serious and worried expression: "I just received a call from Hua Yujiang. The Guoan has issued an order to find where you are, and then monitor you. Someone in the capital is coming to see you."

Tang Xin said expressionlessly: "Abduct me? In what name?"

Xia Qingying held his hand, but was thrown away by Tang Xin. The other party said: "I don't need comfort or decompression, you can tell me directly."

Xia Qingying sighed lightly and said, "It's not what you think. There is no arrest warrant. It's just that there may be affairs related to national security that need you to cooperate with the investigation."
