Chapter 3198 Two Gods of Wealth
The first airport in Northwest China.
The last rays of the setting sun hadn't faded yet, but the airport lights were already on!
In the airport control tower, a group of people chatted casually, waiting with relaxed expressions.
Among those present were people led by Wang Huzi.
There were people led by Li Chengjun from Hongxing Machinery Factory.
There are construction workers from the western section of the West-East Gas Pipeline.
Representatives from various regions also rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.
Among this crowd, the three people sitting at the very front were particularly eye-catching.
In the middle seat, President He sat down without hesitation, and took out his pipe with an air of authority, looking like he was about to have a pipe.
There were quite a few people gathered around him.
Wang Huzi, on the right, had a smile on his face and would occasionally turn his head to look to the side, while people walked around him from time to time.
Li Chengjun on the left was much quieter, even though he had the most people behind him.
Yet he was also the one who seemed the most confident among them!
Cheng Bing walked over to President He's side, deftly took out a match, lit the pipe, and seeing President He smoking with satisfaction, he smiled and extinguished the match, throwing it into the ashtray.
"Hey Cheng the Blind, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't beat around the bush!"
Wang Huzi, who was standing nearby, saw this and immediately started to joke.
The sound was quite loud, and everyone in the room laughed when they heard it.
Cheng Bing didn't mind, "Go away, I'm just getting closer to the leader, what do you mean by 'trying to get on his good side'!"
"Also, just do your own job well! Don't cause trouble!"
As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Wang Huzi, raised his eyelids slightly, and looked disdainful.
Wang Hu Zi naturally understood what Cheng Xia Zi meant, but he did indeed need Cheng's help right now!
Those around him laughed again, but Cheng Bing remained unperturbed and continued to sit close to President He.
Mr. He took a deep drag on his pipe, fully aware of the situation.
They're all here waiting for the God of Wealth.
I wonder if this God of Wealth will be like the ones in heaven, able to conjure up gold.
However, now is not the time for him to agree casually. If everyone begs him like this in the future, how will he live?
Moreover, President He has always maintained a very proper perspective on his position.
He's just a sports person; he doesn't get involved in anything else.
Of course, running sports these days is expensive; you have to borrow some money from the God of Wealth.
While pondering this in his mind, his gaze fell on Cheng Bing again.
In other words, Cheng Bing did a good job in the Northwest region; the West-to-East Gas Pipeline project was a matter of national and public benefit.
The key point is that this guy also works for the Ninth Department, so he's considered one of our own!
That's why they let the other person light a cigarette, otherwise...
Not just anyone can light his pipe.
The two huddled together, and seeing that Cheng Bing had taken the initiative to join in, Wang Huzi, who was not far away, couldn't sit still any longer. He got up and went to Old Zhu's side, beckoning Secretary Qian and the others over, and they immediately formed a small circle.
Old Zhu was a seasoned veteran, and he understood everyone's thoughts perfectly.
However, he had already discussed it with President He and Li Chengjun before coming here. No matter what, they would not give in until they saw Yang Xiaotao.
Meanwhile, Li Chengjun, Fang Yuan, and others were also surrounded by local officials in Hami City, thus forming another small circle.
"Mr. He!"
Cheng Bing grinned obsequiously, looking like he was making a request.
Smack smack
"Blind Cheng, you've come to the wrong person for this matter. You should talk to Li Chengjun!"
"He's the factory manager, and I'm just a nobody..."
"How...how could that be? You're the pillar of strength here..."
"What nonsense are you spouting? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you!"
"Mr. He, even if you kick me, that's the same thing..."
"You, the older you get, the more you miss that kid Li Yunlong!"
"Impossible, how could I be like him..."
Cheng Bing said coldly that he and Li Yunlong were like oil and water.
That's why President He compared him to that guy; if it were anyone else, they would have turned around and left long ago.
Everyone present knew about this.
"Alright, I told you, there's no point in talking to me about this."
"Old boss, you don't need to say anything else, it's just..."
At this point, Cheng Bing glanced at Wang Huzi, who was fawning over Old Zhu, and Li Chengjun and the others, who were indifferent to the matter.
"Just mention it to Mr. Chen and General Manager Yang."
"As for the rest, I'll handle that myself!"
Cheng Bing gritted his teeth and said, clearly prepared to go all out.
Hearing the firmness in the other person's tone, President He asked suspiciously, "Do it yourself? What do you mean?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Bing knew that General He was interested, so he quickly said, "Commander, isn't the western section of the project about to be completed?"
"Once this project is completed, we won't need so many people anymore. Some people will need to return to their original locations and continue their revolutionary work!"
"But revolutionary construction can be done anywhere, and it would be such a waste to let these equipment, materials, and construction projects along the way go to waste!"
"So I told the project team that anyone who wants to stay can stay."
"This way, the project can be launched directly, saving us some trouble!"
After listening, Mr. He immediately understood Cheng Bing's thoughts. To put it bluntly, he was just a contractor who would take on jobs and then subcontract them to others.
However, this way, the tens of thousands of reinforcements can stay in the Northwest!
Even half of it would be crucial for the industrial development of the Northwest.
This is something we need to think about.
How many people can you keep?
Cheng Bing immediately held up five fingers. "At least 50% of the people are willing to stay. They will still go back to work in the production team. Although the conditions here are a bit tough, our Ninth Department has good benefits. We can eat canned meat every now and then. Just for that reason, half of the people will be willing to stay."
"Also, I've spoken with the local officials, and they're all willing to support this project, as it will benefit the entire region along the route..."
President He was somewhat tempted by Cheng Bing's words, but he didn't immediately agree. He only vaguely said, "I can't guarantee that this will work out. I can only put in a word for you!"
"Okay, just say the word!"
Cheng Bing was happy, and he felt more confident.
Even though President He is currently recuperating in the Northwest, his words carry real weight.
"But I must remind you!"
Suddenly, President He's expression turned serious, and Cheng Bing immediately straightened his attitude.
Then Mr. He said, "You've got a good understanding of Mr. Yang's temper now."
"As long as the job is done well, everything else is negotiable."
"But if something is taboo, he can really be ruthless!"
Cheng Bing felt a chill run down his spine, naturally understanding the meaning behind those words.
When the West-East Gas Pipeline project first started, he was too eager for quick results, which led to the neglect of some issues and resulted in casualties.
He was even disciplined for this.
Although Yang Xiaotao didn't say anything, it still attracted widespread attention within the Ninth Department.
Now that President He has brought it up, he naturally has to take it seriously.
"Don't worry, this time I will proceed with caution and prudence, and I will not be reckless!"
Mr. He nodded. He had given the necessary reminders; how to proceed was up to the individual.
"Old Zhu, you'd better put in a good word for us regarding this military industry matter!"
Meanwhile, Wang Huzi sidled up to Old Zhu and egged him on, while Secretary Qian chimed in, "Yeah, things are so chaotic in the west right now. If we don't bring out some tough stuff here, it'll be no use!"
"Also, those three bastards, Li Yunlong, have all started using helicopters, but look at us, we don't even have half as many helicopters as they do."
“How can this be allowed!” After Secretary Qian finished speaking, Wang Huzi continued, “Furthermore, our grain production has already given way to industry, but industrial development needs to find new avenues. Where will we find those avenues?”
"Wasn't it because we were there to protect them?"
"If we don't have the right tools, will those opportunistic guys give us face?"
Wang Huzi spoke logically and clearly, while Old Zhu listened attentively, nodding occasionally but remaining silent.
Upon seeing this, Wang Huzi exchanged a glance with Secretary Qian, and then said again, "I heard that these nine ministries are funding the construction of dozens of warships."
"Also, we need to build quite a few airplanes!"
"They've already spent tens of billions!"
"Old Zhu, we don't need much. Just give us a small amount, and we'll buy some tanks and armored vehicles. Is that alright?"
"By then, your security department will also be able to get a new batch of equipment, right?"
At this moment, Old Master Zhu finally stopped smiling and his expression became serious.
But the more this happened, the more speechless Wang Huzi and the others became.
So this guy was waiting for them here.
"I remember you already have four armored regiments, right?"
"Even in the entire capital city of Beijing, this density isn't there. You still want it?"
Old Zhu spoke indifferently, but Wang Huzi protested, "How can this be compared?"
"How big is Beijing? This place is so big!"
"Don't even mention four, eight wouldn't be enough!"
Old Zhu curled his lip, "You're talking nonsense. Even if I gave you that much, could you afford to support yourself?"
"Putting everything else aside, the fuel alone will be enough to drive you crazy!"
Wang Hu Zi chuckled and said, "The oil issue is about to be resolved, isn't it? I'm just being prepared!"
"Hehe, I think it's a case of catering to different tastes!"
Old Zhu sneered, then held up two fingers, "I can help you too."
"But there are two conditions!"
"You go first!"
Wang Hu Zi dared not agree so easily; he wanted to hear the details first.
Old Master Zhu didn't mince words and said directly, "First of all, our security department needs to expand its staff, so we need to select people from your area. You're not allowed to cause any trouble!"
"No way, I've worked so hard to train these soldiers, how can I give them to you?"
Wang Hu Zi refused without even thinking.
"Two hundred, that's not many!"
"one hundred!"
"Hmph, one hundred and fifty, is that even acceptable!"
"you…"
Wang Hu slapped the chair and exclaimed, "Fine!"
Upon hearing this, Old Zhu chuckled and then stated his second condition: "In future exercises, our security department should participate. The specific arrangements are up to you."
Wang Huzi gave Old Zhu a meaningful look and said, "Old Zhu, I think you just want to have some fun, don't you!"
"Ha ha ha ha"
Old Zhu laughed heartily, "Damn it, you really are worthy of being called Wang Hu Zi, nothing can be hidden from you."
"With so many good things right under my nose, who could stand me stuck in this little puddle rummaging through them?!"
"Well, give me a straight answer!"
Wang Huzi thought about the recent situation in Beijing, then glanced at Secretary Qian, who pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Wang Huzi squinted and smiled, "It's possible, but this exercise will cost money."
"Hey, you bastard."
Old Zhu shook his head speechlessly, "Who was it that just said a fraction of the amount would be enough?"
"Let me tell you, even if we pluck a single hair from this God of Wealth who has fallen to earth, it'll be enough to cause us a lot of trouble."
"Can't you eat a little bigger?"
"Make it bigger?"
Wang Huzi raised his eyelids, stared wide-eyed at Old Zhu, and asked, "Old Zhu, what exactly are you all thinking?"
He then pointed to President He and Li Chengjun to confirm the scope of these "several".
Old Master Zhu then leaned close to the other person's ear and whispered, "This time, you'll have to leave at least three hundred million!"
"Otherwise, why would we mobilize such a large force?"
Three?
hiss…
Wang Huzi gasped, then his eyes lit up with fervor. "Damn it, you guys really dare to dream!"
Old Zhu chuckled, "It's not a matter of daring or not, it's just that the people from our hometown are really rich!"
"They throw away hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars at a time, and that's still for outsiders."
"We're family, we should at least give them something!"
"Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense!"
As Old Zhu spoke smugly, Wang Huzi felt a pang of heartache.
They were practically asking, "Do you need any more people?"
Meanwhile, Li Chengjun, observing the situation with President He and Elder Zhu, knew that their objective had likely been achieved.
Now let's see if we can get the God of Wealth to leave something behind!
"Old Fang, it's all up to you tonight!"
Looking back at Fang Yuan, the latter immediately patted his chest and assured him, "Factory manager, you don't need to tell me that."
"My sorghum liquor, tsk tsk, it's reserved for Boss Yang!"
"Don't worry, we will definitely not bring shame to our Hongxing Machinery Factory this time!"
Li Chengjun smiled and nodded, then looked at Ma Xiaojing standing to the side.
"Comrade Ma Xiaoling, you must also take good care of Comrade Ran Qiuye, especially regarding the school construction here."
"If you can get her to support our rural education, we estimate that next year's funding will increase by several million."
Ma Xiaoling immediately nodded, "Don't worry, Factory Director, I will definitely do my best to make it happen!"
Li Chengjun nodded in satisfaction, then looked at the group behind him and said, "When Elder Chen and General Manager Yang come to inspect our work, you all need to perform well."
"Whether this place can become an industrial base in Northwest China in the future depends on this!"
"understand!"
"Yes!"
Everyone raised their fists excitedly, their expressions filled with elation.
Seeing this, Li Chengjun was also gratified.
Although he didn't build this place himself, he poured his heart and soul into its development.
Especially now, as long as we seize the opportunity, the Northwest can develop.
At that time, this place will become a bulwark for the country in the northwest, and will be able to drive the development of the west.
Just thinking about this achievement makes me excited, thrilled, and trembling!
"The plane is here!"
Just as everyone was lost in their own thoughts, a shout came from the tower, and everyone immediately calmed down.
splash
Mr. He stood up, and then everyone else stood up one after another.
After putting on his military overcoat, President He looked up at the crowd and said, "Let's go welcome our little gods of wealth!"
Everyone burst into laughter, but no one thought they were wrong.
There are two gods of wealth on this plane!
