Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 798 Antique Shop

The business owner thought about it and decided to bet big and not be stingy. Even though he felt a little sad, he still used his son's wedding house to pay the bribe.

"Mr. Zhou, I also have a four-bedroom apartment on the East Fourth Ring Road, about 160 square meters. If you don't mind, I can rent it to you first, hehe."

The last "hehe" naturally meant that the house deed was handed over with both hands after the deal was done. The value of this house is much higher than the previous one. Even Zhou Cheng's eyes lit up and wrinkles on his face when he heard this.

"Is this suitable? My son doesn't earn that much, so I'm afraid he can't afford the rent."

This actually meant to add more money. The business owner calculated the cost and profit, and cursed the bastard in his heart for being so greedy. Besides him, he had to take care of other leaders, as well as the middle-level and lower-level cadres in charge. How could there be so much profit?

But we cannot refuse his agreement. This old guy is not honest in his work and will definitely mess things up. There have been precedents for this. Therefore, we absolutely cannot not give the high-standard granary project to this old guy.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll let my nephew use the furniture in my house first, the decoration only cost two million.

Do you see? "

What this means, of course, is whether it can be done by adding two million in cash.

Zhou Cheng showed a satisfied smile on his face. He also knew that it was unrealistic to raise the price any further. This business owner might only make this much. If he raised the price any further, he might cut corners on the project, and then it would be troublesome. The leaders of the National Development and Reform Commission had very strict management over the construction of high-standard grain silos, and they would come down to inspect frequently. If there was any cutting of corners, there would be real trouble afterwards. He had to know when to stop and not fish out all the fish. Now he was only the chief engineer. If he became the director in two years, people would definitely be more generous with their gifts.

"Thank you very much, boss. Director Zhang has something else to do over there, so I'll leave first."

"Okay, okay."

The business owner sent Zhou Cheng, the vampire, away with a smile, and started cursing at him when he returned to the private room.

“This vampire raised the price twice at the last minute.

It's really unkind of to do things.

Normally, we give him at least two million yuan a year in mahjong games, and we also have to eat and drink with him and play mahjong all night long.

Grass."

Another business owner nearby was relieved.

"That's how business works. If you don't give him something, this old guy will ruin everything.

Isn’t that what happened to Old Zhu last time?

Just give it to him quickly."

The business owner asked Old Zhu, who was sitting silently on the side. Old Zhu was driven to extreme ecstasy by Zhou Cheng last time. He had to pay for four or five meals, give him money, and wake him up in the middle of the night to find women for Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng enjoyed the power in his hands to the extreme.

Lao Zhu had a painful experience and now he knows the process of how to send money.

"Old Zhu, how do you give me the extra money?

Cash?"

This sentence reminded Lao Zhu of a very unpleasant experience.

"They won't accept cash. Go to the East Third Ring Road, Beiwang Street, and find an antique shop. I'll write down the address for you.

As soon as you enter the door, just say you want to buy Zhang Xiaozheng's paintings, and people will understand.

If they ask what year the painting was made, just say it is a painting of shrimps, and there will be the pen name Lao Zhou at the end. That’s what I mentioned last time, didn’t he publish a book? I also brought that book with me, so just check if the pen name is correct.

As long as they match, that's it. You decide how much you want to increase the price by, for example, one million, then the painting is worth one million and a half.

The extra 15 points are for tax.”

The business owner slammed the table.

"Damn it, you take bribes and still have to pay taxes, and I have to pay for it, how can this make sense?"

He added two million in cash, plus the so-called tax, it came to two.3 million. This made the business owner very unhappy, and in fact, more than the two million was added. He was originally going to give away a three-bedroom apartment on the Fifth Ring Road, with an average price of less than 20,000 yuan, and a unit at most two million. Now the other party wants a five-bedroom apartment near the East Third Ring Road, which will cost at least four or five million. This old man also wants two million in cash, which means that he gave him six million in bribes alone. The profit of the entire project is at most 50 million, and there are so many shareholders to share, and there are such great risks and burdens.

The official just opened and closed his mouth without any risk and directly took so much profit from them.

"Okay, okay, as long as there's money to be made, we have to do it.

Otherwise, how are we going to support our workers and our families?

Drink, drink. We are not asked to play mahjong today. It would be good enough if we can go home and sleep early.

Last month, those two bastards sat up all night, and the next day I had so much pain in my lumbar disc that I couldn’t get out of bed.”

When several businessmen saw that there were no officials present, they began to cheer up and toasted each other.

On the other hand, Zhou Cheng drove drunkenly to the base in the suburbs.

It is called a base, but in fact it is just a small club that Zhou Cheng rented from a businessman. It is his exclusive mahjong room and of course there is no rent, as they are all brothers after all.

When I drove to the intersection, there was a traffic police checkpoint. The traffic police had been strictly checking drunk driving in the past two years, and the traffic police was holding the latest device to test alcohol content.

But Zhou Cheng was not panicked at all. Who was he? He was a leader, a senior cadre. He demonstrated the charm of power on the spot.

Zhou Cheng didn't pass quickly because the traffic police blocked the roads on both sides, leaving only a small opening, and every driver had to blow away the dirty stuff before passing.

Who is Zhou Cheng? Why would he blow that dirty thing? So Zhou Cheng quickly rolled up the car window. He was driving an old car, and the window had to be rolled up with a lever.

Making sure he was still at the back of the queue and that it would take another four or five minutes before he could get through, Zhou Cheng shook his head and turned on his Nokia phone. As he was very drunk, he pressed the wrong buttons several times before he succeeded.

"Hey, Captain Xu, how are you doing lately?"

"Chief Engineer Zhou, it's rare. How long has it been since you had a drink with your brothers?"

"Oh, Captain Xu, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. I went to inspect the grain depot some time ago.

I'm back these days and I must have a good time with Captain Xu.

Well, tomorrow, I will set up a table of wild food in Chaoyang. I also have two bottles of 20-year-old Moutai, and I will invite you to taste them.

But at this moment, it may be a small checkpoint of your traffic police team, so I need you to help talk to the brothers below. "

Captain Xu on the opposite side knew a lot about Zhou Cheng. He knew that this old man was the kind of person who never made phone calls unless necessary and was a pragmatic egoist.
