Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 939 Rentier Class 2

After a man finished speaking, he put the teacup in his hand back and just smelled the tea in it. If the local cadres smelled the tea, they would instantly think of the words "millions per ounce" and "extremely luxurious".

If a corrupt official who knows what he's doing enters this teahouse, he'll first pass by a koi pond that's worth a million. Including the cost of decoration and dozens of koi, the sum is probably in nine figures, which is all that a corrupt official at the division level has embezzled for twenty years.

The decorations in the tea room are all made of antiques. It would be vulgar to talk about the prices. For example, the screen at the back was bought by the owner of the club at a price of over 100 million US dollars abroad. Many of the antiques used for decoration are the same as those in a certain museum.

If we find a few experts to appraise the antiques here, the Discipline Inspection Commission can take action to arrest the officials of a certain museum.

The huge wooden tea table exudes a faint fragrance, like flowing golden water. This should be the golden nanmu praised in many novels. It was also exchanged by the owner of the teahouse from a Burmese warlord. However, I heard that the warlord was driven away by a rebellion of several subordinates a few years ago.

During the years that Qi Tongwei worked in the Discipline Inspection Commission, he would have to arrest at least three or four corrupt officials to earn the total assets of this teahouse.

If the entire courtyard is included, its value is probably equivalent to the total assets of a medium-sized enterprise.

These are the wealthy people whose names are not on the rich list, and they are the real winners of the past thirty years.

Several people present here are wealthy, but their names would generally not be known unless they have achieved certain success in a certain economic field.

For example, if the directors were to do business and open an Internet company, and the company's potential was able to withstand a takeover by Penguin and the like, then they would have the opportunity to come into contact with the agent of a customer in the teahouse, who would offer a very high price for a stake and provide great help in the company's growth.

Another man nearby also spoke up.

"It's not just the Tongmei Group. The news coming from the Ministry of Railways is also not good. The Huashen Group is also going to change its leadership.

Recently, Mr. Lin from Zhongfu Group has been unavailable. I wanted to talk to him about the commercial building in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, but it seems that he is also in deep trouble and is not in the mood. "

A middle-aged woman leaning on a recliner in the corner also joined in the conversation.

"The worst news has not yet come. There is a rumor coming from the Discipline Inspection Commission that they are going to ask an auditor to find out the crude oil that has disappeared from the books of the oil and gas company in the past 20 years.

The oil and gas companies are in a state of panic right now. They have severed ties with my Handong refineries, and are losing hundreds of millions every month."

Everyone sighed when they heard this. Thirty years ago, this group of people were indeed able to call the shots. At that time, they were also young, all in their twenties.

Surrounding them are many unsuccessful young people from wealthy families. They have woven a fairly large network of relationships and interests.

Several people focused their attention on the man sitting in the main seat making tea.

"Yuan Chao, what's the situation now? Do you have any news?

Didn’t you say last time that Zhongfu Group had just some minor troubles?

Didn't Zhu Daoqi's stupid son collude with those old guard in the cultural field and engage in some shameful power-for-sex transactions and be investigated?

How could it affect Lin Manjiang?"

The man sitting in the main seat was called Li Yuanchao. He was one of the most powerful leaders of the children from the big courtyards in Beijing in the 1960s. When he was a teenager, he set up a plan to stab to death many children from the hutongs who fought against them. Even now, he is still the leader of these children from the big courtyards.

Li Yuanchao was still making tea by himself.

"Zhu Daoqi is pedantic, and his son is even more stupid. He still hangs out with those old men and youngsters. It's really a loss of face. We killed so many old men and youngsters back then. Are those people worthy of my attention?

This time, news came from above that a big shot had set his sights on the Zhongfu Group and planned to use it as a model for this state-owned enterprise reform. I was afraid that Lin Manjiang would not be able to keep it. I did not dare to tell him the news, so I could only try my best to coax him and buy the building in Xiangjiang first.

The era is over, brothers and sisters.

In the past thirty years, most of our parents have passed away. Even if they are still alive, they are in their eighties or nineties and can’t even stand steadily. How much influence can they have?

The arms cannot twist the thighs.

When the Tongmei Group incident broke out last time, I wanted to use my connections to go to the Discipline Inspection Commission to ask about it.

But as soon as I mentioned this, my friends immediately refused. Twenty years ago, they would have begged us on their knees.

Now their attitudes have begun to change, and the new cadres don’t recognize us at all.

We must face the reality that the illegal ways of making money in the past will definitely leave huge hidden dangers. At least now we have no say in the Discipline Inspection Commission.

Zhou Xiaobai, your family had better not purchase crude oil from the private accounts of oil and gas companies. You know how much tax they have evaded over the years.

If the higher-ups recalculate the accounts and want to take back this tax, what will you do? Your old man also went to see the old man last year. Do you think you brothers and sisters can still have a say there?"

The middle-aged woman lying on the recliner also sighed. These things were all true, but they were used to being domineering and it was almost no difficulty for them to do business relying on the power of their parents. Everyone was crazy about sending money to their door.

They are still psychologically unable to overcome the hurdle of suddenly facing reality and quitting.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Yuanchao continued speaking.

“I have come to the end of what I have to say. There is no point in saying more.

Whether you listen or not is your own business. I am planning to honestly withdraw from several projects cooperating with Zhongfu Group. There were problems in the bidding process of these projects.

I will try to complete the project in Hong Kong as soon as possible. It is a formal business activity over there.

The signal of this wave is very clear, which is to drive us out of the food chain of state-owned enterprises."

This group of rentiers hide in the upstream and downstream industries of state-owned enterprises and use their influence to drain the profits of state-owned enterprises.

A specific example is the company that sells mineral water, hahaha. It controls hundreds of upstream and downstream companies of these large enterprises, adding a little cost here and a little profit there.

In the end, this huge mineral water company did not pay dividends to its major shareholders for more than 20 years, and all the profits were eaten up by their upstream and downstream affiliated companies.

Li Yuanchao and his group did something similar. For example, the Zhongfu Group might have had an annual profit of more than 10 billion yuan, but with this group of people manipulating it, when the accounts were finally settled, the annual profit legally and reasonably became 5 billion yuan.

The higher-ups are actually well aware of the existence of this group of people, but the worst situation in this world is that you are in me and I am in you.
