Chapter 2604

That night everyone returned to their residence outside Hangzhou. Ning Zijing knew that Tao Hongfang was going to visit Shi Chengxin today, so he asked him about the outcome of the meeting.

Tao Hongfang shook his head slightly disappointedly and replied: "I saw it, but the result of the discussion was not particularly ideal."

Ning Zijing said: "Is it Shi Chengxin who refuses to explain the situation to you?"

"That's not true." Tao Hongfang looked a little confused: "He said it, but he didn't make it completely clear."

There were no outsiders present, so Tao Hong conveniently recounted what was discussed during today's meeting with Shi Chengxin.

Although Tao Hongfang and his companions are engaged in different fields of work, they have similar backgrounds and knowledge. It is not difficult to understand the information mentioned by Shi Chengxin, and Tao Hongfang does not need to provide additional explanations.

After listening, Ning Zijing asked: "The place that makes you feel unsatisfied is probably the trading company from Hainan Island, right?"

Tao Hongfang nodded and said: "I am indeed a little curious about this matter. It is not surprising that these local powerful and wealthy businessmen have information channels, but how did people as far away as Hainan Island notice the projects in the East China Sea Region, and how did they come thousands of miles away

We have acquired the in-demand land here, and there should be some things we don’t know about it. Shi Chengxin was very careful not to mention this information, perhaps because he was worried that it would cause unnecessary trouble if it was exposed."

Bai Letong smiled and said: "I think this is not difficult to understand. People can get the land quietly without showing their faces in Hangzhou, but you, Master Tao, have such a high status that you actually have to condescend to go to the Land and Resources Bureau in person.

When the Yamen asked about this matter, if I were Shi Chengxin, I would definitely think that you got the news from somewhere else and felt that you did not get this benefit, so I went to raise an army to investigate, so I wanted to provide you with a piece of land to settle the matter. You also stated that you do not want the land,

Then what can he think? He doesn’t know what your relationship is with the landlord from Hainan Island, so how can he dare to tell you the truth!"

Bai Letong made a joke on himself, but Tao Hongfang didn't care at all. They had no scruples in talking to each other and were always so direct. Of course, the most important thing is that Bai Letong's words did make some sense. Tao Hongfang

Thinking back carefully, the situation is not what Bai Letong said. The sudden visit may indeed make Shi Chengxin misjudge his intentions. As a result, the conversation will develop in another direction, making both parties unable to achieve their goals.

purpose.

Ning Zijing said: "Actually, if you want to find out the details of the Hainan Island trading company, you don't have to just hope to get the information from Shi Chengxin. You can send a telegram back to Sanya and have someone sort it out and register it in Hainan Island, and get it from Donghai."

It shouldn’t be difficult to sort out the commercial firms that are licensed to operate in the region and see which of them have backgrounds.”

Ning Zijing's idea is quite feasible. After all, Tao Hongfang works in the Ministry of Commerce, and with his special status, he can retrieve relevant information for any reason. It should not be too difficult to obtain relevant information.

Tao Hongfang shook his head slightly and said: "I have considered this method before I went to Shi Chengxin. There is a problem that is difficult to solve. To contact Sanya by telegram from Hangzhou, we can only go through Uncle Shi's staff.

The Communications Department sends and receives messages, but there is no secret at all. If the contents of the telegrams get their attention, it will be difficult for me to conduct subsequent investigations."

The official ship that their group took when heading north from Sanya was equipped with a radio station and a signal corps. However, after arriving in Hangzhou, since they had to stay here for a long time, the scarce resources such as the official ship and the signal corps could not remain idle and had already been transferred.

In other places, now the only way to receive and receive telegrams is through the local government. But the matter Tao Hongfang wants to investigate is obviously related to the local government, so the contents of the telegram will inevitably be known to the Shi family and his son, which of course will not

Conducive to the investigation work he wants to conduct.

Ning Zijing thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. If the investigation methods could not be kept secret, trouble might follow. If the Shi family father and his son learned that Tao Hongfang was secretly investigating these things, even if they didn't say it, they would definitely feel unhappy in their hearts.

Too comfortable. And Shi Diwen will soon occupy a top position in the executive committee. Although Tao Hongfang does not need to be afraid of him, there is really no need to ask for trouble and offend him for such a thing.

Ha Jianyi, who had been sitting silently next to him, finally asked: "Hongfang, even if you find out the results of this kind of thing, it doesn't actually mean much. There is no need for Shi Chengxin to lie to you for this kind of thing. What's behind the business?"

It's probably someone with similar status to us. Even if you know who it is, do you still plan to let him spit out the acquired land? Or do you plan to find a crime to investigate Shi Chengxin? Hongfang, we are here in Hangzhou.

I'm on a business trip, not an imperial envoy, so I don't need to take care of everything."

Tao Hongfang smiled bitterly and said: "Since we have encountered something, we can't turn a blind eye."

Ning Zijing also advised: "Hongfang, the planning, construction, and financing of the Hangzhou-Ningbo Railway Project are all led by the Donghai Region, and there will inevitably be some irregularities. As long as the quality and construction period of the project are not affected,

Nothing harmful has happened, and there is no need to check every account clearly. As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. There must be some benefits to make the people below work hard!"

Tao Hongfang nodded and said: "I understand the truth, but I feel a little unwilling. I always feel that my responsibility is my responsibility and I shouldn't let chaos happen."

Bai Letong glared and said, "You think this is a mess? How can you mess up something like the provincial pilot program?"

As soon as Bai Letong said this, Tao Hongfang had no choice but to admit defeat: "The rural trial...it really can't be compared!"

It’s just that both of them knew in their hearts that whether it was the chaos in the rural trial run or the tricks in the Hangzhou-Ningbo railway project, there were high-sounding reasons behind them. If they wanted to correct these chaos and tricks, it would inevitably undermine the overall situation and cause harm to the country.

greater losses.

You may say that these people are wrong, but their purpose is indeed for the benefit of the country. You may say that they are right, but their actions are indeed illegal.

Tao Hongfang and others have special status, so they naturally do not need to fear the authority of the local government. But if they do not compromise, they will become troublemakers who ruin the good situation, and of course they cannot afford such consequences.

If they don’t want to cause trouble, they can only step aside and make way. This is indeed not their original intention of coming to Hangzhou, but the reality is like this. With their abilities, they can’t think of a better way to deal with it. Compromise is helpless

This is a move, but from another perspective, this may also help them increase their knowledge and hone their minds.
