The incident

After talking about Lian Ruohan, Wei Xin talked about Mike's visit again. Before the visit, Mike and Wei Xin exchanged a lot of opinions. Although Mike could not reveal the bottom line of Sunlight Company, Wei Xin, who is familiar with Mike's temper, told Xia Xiang that if Xia Xiang can guarantee that Sunlight Company can recover funds within two years, Sunlight Company will definitely make concessions in technology transfer. Because the recovery of funds represents the success of the investment, Mike and the board of directors' employment contract expires. If this investment is successful, the possibility of his next employment letter will increase greatly.

Because many directors of the company are quite dissatisfied with the company's slow business expansion since he took office. Mike's several investments failed during his tenure, and now he urgently needs a successful investment to prove his ability and vision.

Wei Xin's news was a timely rain, almost touching Mike's bottom line. For Xia Xiang, after mastering the information revealed by Wei Xin, he was almost certain that the joint venture with the Sunshine was a foregone conclusion.

It depends on how long Mike can last. It is inevitable that he will make concessions, but it depends on the extent of his concessions. Xia Xiang’s wishful thinking is to advance the period of funds recovery by half a year and use the huge temptation of recovering funds to force Mike to make huge concessions in technology transfer, and to strive for the most sunny investment amount to reach US$500 million.

However, Xia Xiang still had some doubts and asked Wei Xin in confusion: "Even if Mike has a good relationship with you, he is not stupid. How could he reveal so much information to you?"

Wei Xin lowered his head and his cheeks flushed slightly: "Mike has a good impression of me and courtesy me. I did not agree or refuse, so he always pestered me..."

Beauty Scheme? Xia Xiang laughed secretly, but he didn't expect Wei Xin to be quite powerful, but then he thought about it and it was wrong. Americans have a lot of professional ethics and usually don't talk about business affairs in private time, let alone disclose commercial secrets. How could he tell Wei Xin about his situation?

Xia Xiang expressed his questions.

Wei Xin smiled and explained: "You guessed it right. It is true that Mike is very kind to me, but as long as the company is involved, he will not mention anything. However, his friend Norton is very clear about his situation. Even President asked, "Does Norton dare not answer? Americans are also humans, just like Chinese people, and they are afraid of their bosses. As for some of their company's business secrets, Mike was drunk and said it out in a mess..."

A layer of rosy appeared on Wei Xin's face, and she felt a little shy. Xia thought it through and asked, "Are you a little moved by Mike?"

Wei Xin nodded and shook his head again: "I don't know either. I don't like foreigners. I feel that lifestyle habits vary greatly, but Mike is really good at making people happy."

To make people happy and do superficial articles is the specialty of Americans and an instinct. Xia Xiang couldn't persuade Wei Xin if he was, but just said: "Thank you for your valuable information. As for your personal affairs, I can't express my opinions. I just want to remind you that although emotional issues are passionate, they need to be treated rationally, especially because the two are too different. After all, Americans and Chinese have huge differences in culture and customs."

Wei Xin didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Xia Xiang realized that Lian Ruohan’s purpose of arranging Wei Xin to return to China with him was his woman, and he was always thinking about him.

After that, two days were delayed, and the negotiations entered a stalemate. Xia Xiang was not anxious, and Mike pretended not to hurry. However, on the third day, the situation took a sharp turn. Seeing that Xia Xiang refused to give in, Mike finally lowered his head and agreed to Xia Xiang's request for technology transfer. Of course, the final result was to take a step back. Zui Riguang invested in US$500 million and technology transfer. Although the controlling rights were still in the hands of Baoshi, there was an additional clause in the contract that if the funds invested within one and a half years could not be fully recovered, Zui Riguang Company has the right to obtain 100% of the shares at a lower price.

After signing the letter of intention, Mike changed his expression and asked Xia with a smile: "Mr. Xia, now we are friends, you should tell me how to guarantee that I will recover all the funds within one and a half years, right? Only by telling me the truth can I go back and convince the board of directors to approve the investment. At this point, our interests are the same."

Xia Xiang pulled Michael aside and whispered: "Mr. Mike, the truth is not in the six ears. I will declare in advance that the matter of signing the letter of intent is still in the confidential stage. No one can disclose it to the outside world, otherwise it may have negative impacts. You also know that matters in China are very complicated and officials are also complicated. If an official who is bigger than me contacts a German solar manufacturer and has agreed upon the conditions, then the contract between us may be invalidated."

Mike looked understanding: "I understand, I understand that the will to power is not only in China, but also in the United States. But it is more obvious in China..."

Xia Xiang was quite satisfied with Mike's attitude, so he said: "After your company's investment is in place, once the new product is put into production, it will take three months to half a year to replace all the street lights of Baoshi's residential buildings with solar street lights, and it is stipulated that all new residential buildings must use solar street lights in the future, otherwise they will not be approved for construction. In addition, all traffic lights in the city must be replaced with solar signal lights. In Baoshi alone, how many solar products are needed, Mr. Mike should be able to roughly calculate..."

"Once Baoshi is successfully promoted, Yan Province will promote it to the whole province. Not to mention the street lights in the whole province, it means that if all newly built communities in Yan Province are replaced with solar street lights in the next year, the number will be so large. If Mr. Mike understands the current speed of China's real estate development, he will know it."

"I have a lot of numbers, I have a lot of knowledge about China's national conditions. I can't say I'm proficient. At least I understand the powerful power of the government very well. After hearing Xia Xiang's thoughts, he felt a stone in his heart. However, he was not stupid. He knew that Xia Xiang's level was not high and his words might not work. So he asked again, "Mr. Xia may have influence in the policy of Baoshi City, but the policy of Yan Province, with Mr. Xia's level, may not be able to say anything!"

Xia Xiang laughed: "When the agreement is officially signed, I will invite Mr. Governor to attend, and Mr. Mike can rest assured."

Mike was indeed relieved and returned to China happily. However, Wei Xin did not go back with him, but stayed and wanted to go back to Yan City to take a look, and at the same time he also wanted to go home to visit his relatives.

Xia Xiang went back to Yan City with Wei Xin. On the way, Wei Xin talked and laughed, but no sadness at all, which made him feel relieved. When he arrived in Yan City, Wei Xin refused Xia Xiang's kindness to see him off and took the bus to leave.

Xia Xiang didn't go home, so she went back to the office.

The next step of reform of Shancheng and Baoshi is about to begin. Xia Xiang believes that once the news of the two cities breaks out again, it will cause a great sensation. Because he carefully prepared a big meal for Cheng Xixue and others, and although he and Fan Zheng and Yan Xiao’s articles were scolded happily and angered many people, they were just an appetizer. Only after the real big meal was brought up will Cheng Xixue and others be speechless and ashamed.

In the face of the fact of success, any eloquent metaphor is just a metaphor, just a joke on paper.

When he arrived at the office at around 10 a.m., Xia Xiang contacted Qi Yanan again and learned about the progress of Jiangtai winery. Then he called Qiu Xufeng and handed him over the most difficult and trivial work. For example, how to integrate more than a dozen solar companies into one first, who will be the head of a new company in the end, how to specifically allocate interests, divide responsibilities with Americans, etc., it is all his business. Xia Xiang is only responsible for the overall situation and will not ask about any other small matters.

As a result, Qiu Xufeng said dissatisfiedly: "Why do I feel like you are the secretary of the municipal party committee? After setting the direction and route, I will leave it to me for specific implementation. You are becoming more and more stylish now. I, the deputy mayor, have basically served you specifically."

Dissatisfied with pretending, Qiu Xufeng was actually full of joy.

Xia Xiang had just finished dealing with the matter, and before he could take a breath, he straightened his waist and saw two bad-looking people coming in without knocking on the door, and said with great momentum: "Who is Xia Xiang?"

Only Xia Xiang and Gu Yu were in the office. Fang Ge and Wang Linjie were busy with the matter of Shancheng recently and there were no people all day long. Although Gu Yu seemed to be idle, he had to process a lot of documents every day. He was so busy that even Xia Xiang came back that he just said hello. Suddenly, she heard someone coming to find Xia Xiang, but she didn't think much. She pointed at Xia Xiang with her hand and said, "There are only two people in the office, one man and one woman. Xia Xiang is a man, so who else should I ask?"

"I didn't ask you, who made you talk too much?" The leader of the people said in a very stern tone.

The two people who came in were tall and short, one fat and one thin, one black and one white, and standing together gave people a very funny feeling. However, the people who knew them had no funny thoughts at all, because they were Huang Lin and Liu Xu, who were specialized in investigating major cases in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Huang Lin was black and thin, and Liu Xu was white and fat. Because the two of them had handled many major cases, had severed many corrupt officials, and had sent several people to the execution ground. Therefore, everyone was afraid of talking about it and called it black and white impermanence.

Xia Xiang didn't know them, but when they saw their momentum, they knew that the visitor was not good, so they stood up and said, "I am Xia Xiang. Who are you two? What's the matter with me?"

"We are the case handlers of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. I am Huang Lin, and he is Liu Xu. We have received a report that someone reported that you have accepted bribes. Please come with us and be investigated." Huang Lin first revealed his identity. Although he spoke very harshly, he was still very polite and thoughtful.

"Who reported me? How big a thing did I do?" Xia Xiang asked with a smile.

Seeing Xia Xiang's indifferent attitude, Huang Lin was stunned.

The Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection received a double report from letters and phone calls, saying that Xia Xiang, the director of the leadership group, accepted huge bribes. The evidence was conclusive. The time, location and amount of bribes were clearly written, and several photos were attached. Although the photos were a little dim, Xia Xiang could still be seen holding a handbag in his hand and talking to a woman under the street light. Another photo was a scene of the two holding hands, and his attitude looked very intimate.

The report letter also specifically stated that Xia Xiang not only had an ambiguous relationship with the woman, but also accepted a lot of money from the person. In the handbag, there were five cigarettes made of 100 yuan bills, each box of cigarettes contained 2,000 yuan, and five cigarettes were a huge sum of 100,000 yuan. There were five gold coins in the caps of the other five bottles of wine, with a total value of 50,000 yuan. Xia Xiang received a huge bribe of 150,000 yuan in total!

The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. Because Xia Xiang is a department-level cadre with a low level and is not qualified to be in the eyes of Xing Duantai, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission, Huang Lin and Qi Xu reported the matter to Gu Renjie, the first deputy secretary of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection in charge.

Ancient people Jie was Gao Chengsong's man, and he was in a state of disagreement with Xing Duantai during the Gao Chengsong era. After Gao Chengsong fell, he was once panicked for a while. Later, after the matter gradually subsided, no one caused trouble for him. He knew that he had passed the test. However, he was not interested in Xia Xiang, and he also thought that Xia Xiang was not a good person. He begged for the inclination and used conspiracies to suppress dissidents. Even the dignified provincial party secretary dared to fight to the death. What would it be if others provoked him?

The ancients Jie felt sad about Wu Peiyong's death, and deeply sympathized with Gao Chengsong's fate, and was expelled from the party for three consecutive demotions. He felt that Secretary Gao worked hard and did a lot of good things for the country and the people, and finally became disgraced. After all, it was Xia Xiang and Song Chaodu fanned the flames behind the scenes, otherwise Secretary Gao would at least be able to retire safely and enjoy his old age.

Later, the ancients Jie contacted Gao Chengsong, who returned to his hometown in the south several times. When Gao Chengsong learned that Xia Xiang was becoming more and more respected, he hated him repeatedly and warned him to beware of Xia Xiang. Once he seized the opportunity, he must put Xia Xiang to death, otherwise he might become enemies with Xia Xiang. Xia Xiang has a character of immortality, and anyone will be killed by Xia Xiang!

The ancients agreed deeply.

Later, when the ancient Renjie slowly began to approach Cui Xiang, and was influenced by Cui Xiang, his impression of Xia Xiang became worse and worse. What made the ancient Renjie's extreme dissatisfaction with Xia Xiang was that Fengli was his best friend. Fengli was moved away, and the ancient Renjie also knew that he was a victim of political sacrifice. However, Fengli repeatedly said bad things about Xia Xiang in front of the ancient Renjie, pushing all his mistakes on Xia Xiang, and determined that it was Xia Xiang that made Secretary Ye dissatisfied with him and brought him to the old cadre bureau.

The ancients Jie heard too many bad things about Xia Xiang, and he couldn't stand Xia Xiang. Under the dual influence of Cui Xiang and Fengli, in his eyes, Xia Xiang, who had no contact with him and had no holidays, became the most hateful bad guy in the world. The ancients Jie was determined to believe that Xia Xiang must be corrupt and lustful, so it should not be put into his hands. As long as he found out that he had financial and style problems, he had to beat him to death.

But he asked someone to investigate Xia Xiang secretly, but found that Xia Xiang was doing everything without any mistakes, and there was no economic or style problem. This made the ancients wonder and could not believe that Xia Xiang was really an honest and not close to women. Especially now that he is so young, with a rank and powerful, how could it be without beauty surroundings? But it is impossible and there is no way to catch Xia Xiang's handle. Whether Xia Xiang really has nothing to check or hide it too deeply, it just makes the ancients Jie have nowhere to start.

The ancient Renjie was so depressed, but after he received Cui Xiang's instructions, he became full of anticipation...

Finally something happened.

After hearing the report from Huang Lin and Liu Xu, Gu Renjie jumped up happily. He really searched for something without any effort. Xia Xiang is young and has an important position. How could it be fine? Even if Maoer doesn't eat fishy food, he can't resist taking the initiative to deliver fishy food to his door, right? Xia Xiang, the evidence this time is conclusive, what else do you have to say? 150,000 yuan, at the least, it is not an exaggeration to let you lose your official position and expel it from the party, and at the worst, it is not an exaggeration to sentence you to several years.

The ancient Jie was overjoyed and immediately instructed Huang Lin and Liu Xu to investigate, investigate strictly, and investigate to the end.

Huang Lin and Liu Xu are basically not from any faction in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. They are selfless in handling cases. As long as someone commits a crime, as long as their superiors say something, they will investigate it to the end and no one will be given face. Therefore, although they are in their 40s, they have always been department-level in the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection and cannot be promoted. The superiors regard them as gunmen and victims who can be abandoned at any time at critical moments. No one regards them as confidants. However, they do not care whether they can reach a high position. They just focus on investigating the case and are determined to investigate all corrupt officials in the world.

After receiving the nod of Gu Renjie, the two of them sorted out relevant evidence and visited the community where Xia Xiang lives several times, but they did not gain much. Based on Zhou Hong's photos, they wanted to find Zhou Hong's origin, but there were no clues. Now there is only physical evidence. If the person involved can be found to be fully qualified, Xia Xiang can be made into an ironclad case, which will make him unable to turn over for the rest of his life.

However, it doesn't matter if there is no evidence. As long as the officials in question are afraid of assisting with them in the investigation. Once they assist, they will be defeated under their continuous offensives and quickly explained all the problems. They also believed that Xia Xiang was young and had little experience, so they must have explained them immediately under their tricks of coaxing, cheating and threatening. So the two decided to catch Xia Xiang off guard. When Xia Xiang came back from a business trip, they would go directly to the office and give him a big warning.
