Chapter 255: No Retreat, No Slow Down Chapter 2025 in , words. I wish everyone a new year and a new beginning. I also hope that I can be in a new state, update every day, and get better and better at writing. ---- In the Zhao family's study, Zhao's father smoked a cigarette and said slowly, "I wanted to invite you over for a quick meal today, but I just received news this afternoon that an old leader of considerable weight publicly stated his position at a meeting..." Ning Weidong sat on the sofa next to him, frowning and listening carefully. In fact, he was not completely unpredictable about this situation, because at any time and in any place, there are friends and enemies. Since some people have expressed support before, there will naturally be people who oppose it. Everything is developing dynamically, not static. But Ning Weidong didn't expect that it would happen at this time, and his attitude was so firm, and he tried to make a big deal out of it. This is not a good thing. If this matter is elevated to a certain level, it will be difficult to handle. After listening to what Father Zhao said, Ning Weidong sighed in embarrassment: "Dad, do you think we should stay out of the spotlight for now?"

Father Zhao took a look and snorted, "Don't come to me to retreat in order to advance. What do you mean by temporarily avoiding the sharp edge? I think you are just trying to provoke me." Ning Weidong was not embarrassed and just smiled. Ever since he expressed his stance in the office last time, Ning Weidong took advantage of the situation and directly changed his words to call him dad. Father Zhao gladly accepted it. It was only a matter of time after all. Besides, he liked Ning Weidong as his son-in-law more and more. Father Zhao said, "I'm telling you this to let you know that things are not calm down. Your uncle Wang and I can still help you with this matter for the time being, but you have to keep this in mind." Ning Weidong stopped smiling and nodded quickly: "I know that this trip to Sulian will only lead to success, not failure." Father Zhao nodded. His goal today was to give Ning Weidong some strength. Just as he said, someone from above is talking, and that is pressure, but at the same time, this pressure does not fall on Ning Weidong, he has to bear it. Ning Weidong should know that he has to be clear about what he does next, and not think that the days are really peaceful and smooth. After Ning Weidong expressed his opinion, Zhao's father's tone softened: "You don't need to be too stressed. You can't live without stress. People can be lazy, but too much stress is not good either. It can easily ruin people's mentality." Ning Weidong said: "Dad, don't worry, I can handle this pressure. But... the higher-ups have different opinions now, and in the end..." Father Zhao understood what he meant, and leaned back on the sofa and said calmly: "The final result is not determined by who said what, but by the results of the facts. Do you understand? Seeking truth from facts is the only standard to test everything." Ning Weidong's heart moved, and he suddenly said: "You mean you want to see my performance and the result this time?" Father Zhao snorted: "Why else do you think it was such a coincidence that that person chose to speak at this time?" …… Ning Weidong gathered his thoughts, walked out of the warehouse and got into the car. Although Mr. Zhao didn't say something yesterday, based on Ning Weidong's experience, this matter is not that simple. Some people want to use it to make a fuss, while the Zhao and Wang families are a little hesitant and want to wait and see. Of course, this doesn’t mean that Zhao’s father wants to sacrifice Ning Weidong as his son-in-law. This does not exist. Ning Weidong is not only a son-in-law, but also the bond of alliance between the Zhao family and the Wang family. At least before the influence of Wang's father is completely exhausted, the Zhao family will not do such a criticized thing.

It's okay to cross a river and then destroy the bridge, but you don't do it this way. However, not sacrificing Ning Weidong does not necessarily mean supporting the layout of Speedlink Far East led by Ning Weidong. This is a bargaining chip that can be negotiated, and as for the price, it depends on what Ning Weidong can achieve specifically. Thinking of this, Ning Weidong couldn't help but take a deep breath. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Zhao's father did. In fact, Zhao's father was already quite kind. The most important thing facing Ning Weidong now is to infinitely increase the value of his layout in Speedlink so that he can be transformed from a "live chip" into a "dead chip". The reason is simple. They are all chips, but live chips are not important and can be lost or exchanged at any time. Although dead chips are still chips on the surface, their value is so great that they can theoretically still be traded, but in reality they cannot be traded. Be it 'too big to fall off' or 'too big to fall over', they both mean the same thing. Ning Weidong cannot get rid of the attribute of "chip" at this stage or for a long time in the future. All he can do is to continuously expand his own value and ensure that he is a 'dead chip'. After leaving the warehouse, the car arrived directly at the railway station in a short while. Ning Weidong also booked a ticket for today. After getting off the bus in front of the station, Ning Weidong once again reminded Wang Kaixuan and asked him to keep an eye on the production of the winery. Then he took Hu Bayi into the waiting room. When I arrived at the soft sleeper waiting room, there were not many people inside. I saw Wang Ye sitting not far from the entrance. This time when Ning Weidong went to Sulian, he still brought Hu Bayi with him. As an old acquaintance, Wang Ye was still sent over to cooperate with Ning Weidong. In addition to Wang Ye, there was another person sitting next to them. When he saw Ning Weidong and Hu Bayi come in, he immediately stood up and walked forward to greet them. As she walked, a half-long ponytail swayed behind her. It was Zhao Ruyu. Zhao Ruyu went with them on this trip to Heilongjiang Province. Nominally, they were going to visit their aunt and uncle, but in reality it was a response to Chen Baoqing's trip to the capital. After this round trip, the Chen family in Heilongjiang Province was back on board. When arriving in Harbin, Zhao Ruyu would not go to Sulian. The four people met and sat down after exchanging greetings. There is still nearly an hour until departure time. Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu sat together, while Hu Bayi and Wang Ye sat opposite them. It seemed that their relationship should have made some progress. Although there were no particularly intimate actions, the tone and eyes when they spoke did not seem like a serious working relationship, but rather were rather ambiguous. Especially Wang Ye, the way she looked at Hu Bayi was different from the last time she walked past. Her eyes were filled with the affection that only a young woman could have. Ning Weidong smiled secretly in his heart. Hu Bayi was indeed a military man with strong execution ability. Once he made a decision, he would act very quickly. Just at this moment, a group of people came in from outside the waiting room.

Although these people spoke quietly, there were not many people in the soft sleeper waiting room and the environment was very quiet, so it seemed very abrupt. Ning Weidong has excellent hearing ability and he didn't pay much attention to it at first, but he didn't expect that some of these people were speaking English. I couldn't help but turn my head to look over there. There were five people in the group, three of them were wearing dark Zhongshan suits, black-framed glasses, and pens in their pockets. They were obviously domestic intellectuals. One of the other two people was a young Chinese girl, quite young and pretty, and her clothes were very fashionable, not like the domestic style. If I were to describe her in two words, it would probably be "Western". Next to her was a blond foreigner, and it was these two people who spoke English. As several people came over, one of the middle-aged leaders saw Ning Weidong looking at them, nodded kindly, and sat down on the sofa across from them. The two people who were talking also stopped and looked at Ning Weidong and the others. It must be said that the sight of Ning Weidong and the other three sitting here doing nothing was quite attractive. Of the two women, Zhao Ruyi was tall, bright and elegant. Wang Ye was also very pretty. Although she was dressed a little old-fashioned, she looked like a cadre, not an ordinary citizen. Ning Weidong is as outstanding as Hu Bayi. Hu Bayi is meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a righteous face, and has been on the battlefield, so he has a unique temperament. Ning Weidong is even better. However, the two groups looked at each other and there was no further interaction. Soon the young girl started chatting with the blond foreigner again. Although Ning Weidong didn't intentionally listen, the two people spoke loudly. Perhaps he thought that others couldn't understand English, but Ning Weidong heard most of it. He couldn't help but glance at Hu Bayi opposite him, then turned to look at the fashionable girl over there with a playful expression. But Zhao Ruyu, who was standing next to him, touched the soft flesh behind his arm and pinched it, whispering, "What are you looking at~" Ning Weidong retracted his gaze, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Those two foreigners over there seem to have come to our country specifically to collect antiques. From the looks of it, they plan to take them out and sell them." Zhao Ruyu was stunned. She thought Ning Weidong had seen the beautiful girl. If she wasn't here, I would just take a look, but she is still around~ This guy's eyes are about to pop out. But he didn't expect that he had wrongly accused her. He quickly rubbed the place where he had pinched her, looked at the people over there, and frowned, "I'll call someone over to arrest him and ask him?" Ning Weidong shook his head gently: "Forget it, as long as they don't dig graves, it's not against the law. If we call someone over, they won't be able to catch anything, and it will easily cause trouble for us." Ning Weidong has a more open-minded attitude towards antiques and other things, and he doesn't have that kind of deep hatred or vengeance. As for antiques, do they have value? Of course they do, but it depends on when. The old saying goes, antiques are valuable in prosperous times, gold is valuable in troubled times, and that makes a lot of sense. Only in prosperous times, when people have satisfied their needs for food and clothing and want to pursue some spiritual satisfaction, the value of antiques is reflected at this time. As for the others, there is no need to praise them too much. After all, it is just an old item placed there. Not to mention now, over the past hundred years or so, most of the good things that could be seen on the market have been taken away. Compared to this, Ning Weidong cares more about that woman.

At this time, the oldest of the other three stood up and said, "Ms. Yang Xueli, our train will be here soon." Ning Weidong understood and looked at Hu Bayi and Wang Ye opposite him. Probably, Hu Bayi would never have anything to do with the other party in this life. The five men stood up and walked through the aisle between Ning Weidong and the other four. Hu Bayi glanced at a few people subconsciously, and for a moment his eyes met Yang Xueli's, but then he looked away. From then on, they moved apart and never met again. "Hu Bayi, what's wrong with you?" Wang Ye on the side touched Hu Bayi. Hu Bayi was stunned for a moment, then uttered a "hmm" and said, "It's okay. I was distracted just now. I seemed to remember something, but then I forgot it again." Wang Ye looked at Yang Xueli's back with an expression that said, "Stop playing dumb with me." He pouted and asked, "Do you like to dress like that?" Hu Bayi denied it repeatedly and lowered his voice: "I just like you like this." "Silly~" Wang Ye rolled his eyes at him and whispered, "When we come back this time, you will accompany me to the Friendship Store to go shopping." Hu Bayi's eyes lit up, and he naturally understood the implied meaning of this statement. Not long after, the time came and Ning Weidong and his companions boarded the train. …… At the same time, the 16th Far Eastern Army of the Soviet Union was stationed near Vladivostok. Kadyrov, dressed in military uniform, leaned back in a large leather office chair, his face somewhat gloomy. In front of him was a telegram that had just been received from Birobidzhan. The content of the telegram made him feel a little tricky. At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Kadyrov came to his senses and shouted, "Come in." "Report~" The person who came out was an intelligence soldier from the confidential department: "Commander, the latest telegram received from Khabarovsk." Kadyrov groaned and took the telegram. The content of the telegram was very simple, just telling him that the news had been received that Ning Weidong and the first batch of vodka had already set off from the capital of China. Seeing this news, Kadyrov frowned, raised his hand and waved to signal the soldier to go down. He waited until the door closed before he stood up from his chair, grabbed his pipe from the table, walked to the window, and lit his pipe while looking out. Taking a deep breath, he tried to clear his mind. Ever since Ning Weidong returned to China from Vladivostok last time and directly bypassed Kadyrov, he was quite unhappy. Kadyrov is not a magnanimous person. Although logically speaking, Ning Weidong was not at fault in the whole matter, Kadyrov's army does not care about right or wrong. But he is able to reach this position not by being a reckless rookie.

Knowing that Ning Weidong has reached cooperation with both factions in the Far East this time, he will not be able to shake them with his own strength, so he must seek more allies. Kadyrov quickly revealed Ning Weidong's cooperation with local authorities through private channels. In fact, this was not a secret at all, it’s just that the military’s response was a little slow. This is not surprising. Over the past twenty years, the relationship with the Speed ​​Union has been tense, and two severe conflicts broke out at the east and west ends ten years ago. This made the military subconsciously regard the other side as the enemy, without considering the possibility of cooperation between the two sides. It was not until Kadyrov laid the interests involved on the table that the military leaders in the Far East realized that they must stand up and share the cake and not let the local governments have it all to themselves. Based on this starting point, the military soon contacted the local factions and clearly put forward their demands. Both old Kirolev and old Khoramov had anticipated this situation, and if things were to be done in the Far East, the military would have no way around it. And they also agreed to give the military a share of the profits. However, the military's appetite was too big, and the talks broke down as soon as the two sides came into contact. This result was not what Kadyrov expected. His original intention was actually to borrow power from the military. Only by relying on the power of the military can we balance the local forces in the Far East. This is like a game of chess. The local forces headed by Kirolev and Khoramov are tigers, Kadyrov is a leopard, and Ning Weidong is a wolf passing through. Because the wolf cooperated with the tiger, Kadyrov, the leopard, could not eat the wolf. But the military is also a tiger if they unite. If two tigers are exchanged for their own, only a leopard and a wolf will be left. The leopard can then take advantage of the situation and force the wolves to give up some of their interests. This is his plan and purpose. But he didn't expect that those people in the military district had such big appetites that they directly angered both factions in the local area. Just at this time, the big shots in the military region ordered him to flex his muscles on the border and create some trouble for Ning Weidong. This made Kadyrov very uncomfortable. He originally wanted to hide behind and reap the benefits, but now he has become a pawn. If he fails to handle it properly, he will completely offend all the people in the Far East, and he will have a hard time in the future. Kadyrov tightened his grip on his pipe. Things can't go on like this, he must find a way to break the impasse. …… On the other side, Ning Weidong and his four companions finally arrived in Harbin after a day and a night of train travel. As soon as he got off the car, Zhao Ruyu shivered: "Fuck, it's too cold!" She had been to Harbin when she was a child, but that was more than ten years ago and she had long forgotten her childhood memories. It was the end of November, and even though I wore a cotton jacket before getting off the bus, I was still shaken.

Hu Bayi and Wang Ye, who came down together, were in a similar situation. It had been a month since they last came, and the temperature was completely different. Ning Weidong gloated: "You are frozen silly, right? I asked you to wear a scarf just now, but you still didn't obey." Zhao Ruyu stamped her feet, not even in the mood to argue, rolled her eyes and said, "Hurry up, stop being so rude." At this time, Chen Baohua saw them and immediately came forward: "Ruyi, Weidong!" Zhao Ruyu turned his head and looked over, immediately recognized him and called him "Brother Dabao". Chen Baohua smiled happily. He hadn't seen me for several years. He looked me up and down and laughed, "My goodness, you are almost as tall as me." Although I haven't seen him for a long time, he is my cousin after all, and we became familiar with each other after just a few words. Several people came out of the station and got into the car driven by Chen Baohua. This time it was not his 212, but a Volga sedan. He first went to the guesthouse to drop off Hu Bayi and Wang Ye, and then took Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu home. Knowing that Zhao Ruyu was coming, the Chen family started preparing early. The standards and attitude of the reception were obviously different from the last time Ning Weidong came. First of all, Zhao Ruyu is her legitimate niece. Secondly, when Ning Weidong came last time, many things were still unclear. The Chen family’s situation is special, so it’s not appropriate to be too friendly. This time, there are not so many concerns. Instead, they should take advantage of Zhao Ruyu's coming to publicize it with great fanfare and let some people in Harbin know that the Chen family has reconnected with the capital. Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu first went home to meet Chen's father and mother. Everything was fine after the conversation, but when Zhao Ruyu's mother was mentioned, Chen's mother thought of her dead sister and hugged Zhao Ruyu and cried again. After some persuasion, the two finally stopped crying. Zhao Ruyu took out the gifts she had brought from the capital, and then stayed until the afternoon. When it was almost time, she went straight to the guesthouse. The main reason why I wasn’t at home was because there were too many people. In addition to the more than ten people from three generations of the Chen family, all the relatives and friends who had good connections in Heilongjiang Province were called over. And this is the real purpose of Zhao Ruyu's trip. Meet with these people, especially those in key positions, who are capable and ambitious, to appease and win them over. Although it was impossible to expect Zhao Ruyu to make people bow down to her just by her visit, the significance of her visit was more to let these people know that they had connections in the capital. This kind of cognition will create a sense of cohesion among these people and at the same time increase their upward imagination. With cohesion, people's hearts are gathered together, and there is room for imagination, so people will be more attentive to their work. On the other hand, it is to support the Chen family. For some reasons, the Chen family brand has been silent in Heilongjiang Province and Harbin for several years. Now that it has reopened, if it wants to establish itself and stay there, it must demonstrate its strength and determination.

There were four tables in total, and more than thirty extra people came, from all departments. Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu, as the main "tools", clinked glasses with these people one by one under the introduction of Chen's father, just like toasting at each table at a wedding. You don't have to drink it all in one gulp, just take a small sip to show your appreciation. This game lasted from around five in the afternoon until around seven in the evening, and ended at almost eight o'clock. Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu returned to the guesthouse. When Zhao Ruyu got to the house, he threw himself on the bed like a deflated ball, muttering, "I'm so tired!" Ning Weidong took the opportunity to step forward and said with a grin, "Are you tired already? We have only just started~" Zhao Ruyu was startled and asked cautiously, "What do you want to do? From yesterday to today, you sat on the train for a whole day and a whole night, and just now you dealt with those people. Are you still in the mood to think about that?" Ning Weidong chuckled, "Food and sex are human nature. I just had a full meal, and the heater in this room is quite hot. Isn't this keeping warm and arousing sexual desire?" Zhao Ruyi rolled his eyes almost to the sky: "You beast, are you really not tired?" Ning Weidong didn't say anything and started to take action directly. Zhao Ruyi was getting anxious because of him. She tried to push him away with her hands but it was useless. Seeing that Ning Weidong was getting more and more aggressive, she just gave it a go: "I'm going to fight you!" …… I definitely haven't tried hard enough. After more than forty minutes, Zhao Ruyu finally couldn't struggle anymore, like a fish that had been out of water for too long. Ning Weidong was also very tired. He had been traveling all the way by boat and car. Most people would have lost interest long ago. Moreover, Zhao Ruyu was not a gentle girl but a strong and fierce woman. It would take a lot of effort to subdue her. After sweating a lot, the two of them felt much clearer. Zhao Ruyi moved a little and leaned closer to Ning Weidong, and asked, "Before Dad comes, let me take a look at the situation here. There are so many people here today, what do you think?" Ning Weidong knew that this was Zhao's father's attempt to find out the Chen family's background. Although they are real relatives of our family, they have been suppressed over the years. We must be aware of how much foundation the Chen family has and how much energy they can exert. Is it just ordinary, or is it just a show? Or is it a latent dragon in the abyss, ready to explode? Obviously, the Chen family also understood that the purpose of calling everyone over on the first day was to let Zhao Ruyu see their strength. Ning Weidong paused and leaned against the head of the bed. "I think it's okay. Among the people who came today, at least seven or eight are in key departments, four of them are in key positions, and the other two are only section chiefs, but they are not very old and have great potential." Zhao Ruyu sighed and said, "In fact, my uncle's family was more prosperous than mine. At that time, it was still a military corps..." Ning Weidong didn't respond. What Zhao Ruyu was talking about happened more than ten years ago. Of course the Chen family was very prosperous at that time, and the fourth son Y had a good background and was one of the few who remained in the Northeast. But things change over time. To be honest, Ning Weidong was a little surprised that the Chen family could gather all these people today. In his expectation, the Chen family's situation should be worse.

Ning Weidong added: "But don't be too optimistic. We used to develop in a low-key manner, but now the situation is different. We will encounter greater resistance in the future." Zhao Ruyu nodded, yawned, and got up and said, "I'll go wash up." Ning Weidong responded, put his hands behind his head, and thought about the situation in Heilongjiang Province. From his perspective, he definitely hopes that the Chen family will develop well. As Heilongjiang Province is an outpost facing the Speed ​​Alliance Far East, Ning Weidong has already regarded it as his rear base. A lot of resources will be invested here in the future. As an ally, the Chen family must have the ability to protect these resources. But relying on the Chen family alone is definitely not enough. Ning Weidong needs to find another insurance, otherwise he will not feel at ease. But that’s all later. With Ning Weidong’s current status, he is not qualified to perform such an operation. Thinking of this, Ning Weidong "tsked" his tongue, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the road ahead is long and difficult~ At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly. "Who is it?" Ning Weidong asked, standing up and becoming alert. Who would come to see him at this time? Wang Ye's voice came from outside the door: "It's me~" Ning Weidong frowned, stood up and put on his pajamas while asking, "What's the matter?" Wang Ye said: "Just received the telegram from the express contact." Ning Weidong's heart trembled, and he immediately tied the belt of his pajamas and went to open the door. Wang Ye was standing outside. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to come out like this. He avoided his gaze slightly and handed over the telegram. At this time, Zhao Ruyi came out of the bathroom and asked, "Weidong, who is it?" Wang Ye blushed and guessed what Ning Weidong and Zhao Ruyu had just done. She and Hu Bayi haven't reached this stage yet. In this era, 26 or 27 years old is considered an older single woman. She had been eager to try that for a long time, but her mind was restraining her from trying. At this moment, I couldn't help but feel itchy in my heart, thinking about establishing a relationship with Hu Bayi as soon as I returned this time. Ning Weidong glanced at the contents of the telegram, his pupils shrank slightly, and he nodded to Wang Ye: "I understand~" Wang Ye was feeling awkward standing here, so he immediately said, "Okay, I'll go back first." The door closed, and Zhao Ruyu came over, wiping her hair: "What happened?" She could see that Ning Weidong was in a bad mood. It was fine just now. The problem must be with this telegram. Ning Weidong took the telegram and read it again, took a breath and said, "Something might happen at Speedlink."

Zhao Ruyu was surprised and quickly took the telegram. This telegram was sent by Seryosha a few hours ago. It mainly said that they were strife with the military over the distribution of interests, and reminded Ning Weidong that he might encounter difficulties from the 16th Army at the border, so Ning Weidong should be prepared to deal with it. The route from Suifen to Vladivostok is exactly the defense zone of Kadyrov's 16th Army. Ning Weidong frowned. This was undoubtedly very bad news for him. If Kadyrov was determined to make things difficult, he would definitely be able to stop the shipment of vodka. Even if we change the route immediately, it may not be safe to choose to exit from Heihe. Because currently it is the Far East region and the military that are playing a game of chess. Even if we avoid Kadyrov, someone else will take his place. Instead of that, it is better to stick to the original plan. At least Kadyrov is an acquaintance. After reading the telegram, Zhao Ruyi's expression became serious: "Weidong, what should we do? Otherwise~ should we take it easy for a while?" Ning Weidong's face was as gloomy as water. He shook his head and said, "It's useless. If we don't join the game, there won't be any results over there." Zhao Ruyi reacted quickly and said, "You mean, they were waiting for you on purpose?" Ning Weidong said in a deep voice: "In the final analysis, it's all about interests. The military wants more, but the local government doesn't want to give. The people of Sulian never look inward to solve problems. When they encounter such a situation, their first reaction is to see if they can find compensation from outside..." Zhao Ruyu said, "They want to wait for us to arrive and deliberately let the military detain the goods. Then we will naturally make concessions in order to solve the problem." Ning Weidong sneered: "Your wishful thinking is working." Zhao Ruyi asked, "Then what should we do?" Although I guessed the other party's thoughts, this situation is still difficult to break. Because the interests are on Sulian's side, Ning Weidong would have to give up the plan and insist on not joining the game. Otherwise you will have to endure this blow on your head. Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "When a car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way out. When a boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight. We will still stick to the original plan and see what tricks they can come up with." Although he spoke in a tough tone, Ning Weidong knew in his heart that he must not retreat, let alone slow down. Once he slows down, there will be a lot of criticism in the capital and he will not be given another chance. …… The next afternoon, Ning Weidong, Hu Bayi and Wang Ye went to the train station together. Zhao Ruyu's destination this time is Harbin, and she will not continue to go to Sulian with Ning Weidong. Chen Baohua was waiting here in advance. When he saw Ning Weidong and the other two from afar, he immediately went to greet them: "Weidong, Comrade Hu, Comrade Wang, hello~" "Brother Dabao, you've been waiting for a long time~" Ning Weidong smiled and shook hands with Chen Baohua. Hu Bayi and Wang Ye also shook hands. Chen Baohua said casually: "I just got here too."

As he was speaking, a short middle-aged man in a railway uniform suddenly appeared from behind Chen Baohua. Chen Baohua is a big and strong man. He was blocking the man behind him and didn’t even see him! Chen Baohua introduced sideways: "Weidong, this is Stationmaster Wang of the freight station. We grew up together. You can call me Brother Wang." "Brother Wang~" Ning Weidong stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party. Stationmaster Wang bared his teeth. He looked decent, but his teeth were full of tetracycline. He laughed and said, "Weidong, don't be polite. Lao Chen and I are close friends. If you have any problems in the future, just let me know." Although Ning Weidong knew it was just a polite remark, he had to continue: "Then I definitely can't be polite with you." After a brief greeting, Chen Baohua pointed to the front and said, "It has been loaded over there. We will take it to the back of the train later. I guarantee it will be safe." Looking in the direction, I saw a green carriage parked not far away. The one thousand boxes of vodka that Ning Weidong brought with him were loaded inside, and would be directly connected to the back of the passenger train and taken over later. In principle, this is definitely not possible, but in practice, especially in remote provinces like Heilongjiang and on the route to Suifen, it is not difficult to make some adjustments. And this is the role of Webmaster Wang. Ning Weidong took his men to the car for a look around and thanked Stationmaster Wang again. The next few people didn't need to go to the bus station to get on the bus. A thousand boxes of wine could not fill up the carriage, and most of it was left, just enough for people to sit. Stationmaster Wang had other things to do, so he said politely and left first. But Chen Baohua was in no hurry to leave. Hu Bayi and Wang Ye were very perceptive. They originally wanted to wait downstairs with Ning Weidong, but they immediately suggested going upstairs to wipe the seats first. They both saw that Chen Baohua had something to say. Only Ning Weidong and Chen Baohua were left. "Brother Dabao, have one." Ning Weidong handed over a cigarette. Chen Baohua was about to take out the matches when Ning Weidong's lighter was handed to him. With a "click", a ball of flame spurted out. The two lit cigarettes, and Chen Baohua said, "Weidong, you're leaving soon, so I'll make it short. There might be something going on at the soda factory." "What's going on?" Ning Weidong took a puff of cigarette, but didn't care too much. Compared with the situation that Speedlink is about to face, anything that happens at the soda factory is a small matter. At worst, we can just give up this soda factory. Chen Baohua didn't know what Ning Weidong was thinking, so he said in a deep voice: "The situation at the factory is quite complicated..." Ning Weidong was not in a hurry and listened to what Chen Baohua said. In fact, it is not that complicated. The current director of the soft drink factory does not want to leave. He has some prestige in the factory and uses some tricks to motivate people. Ning Weidong sighed: "Even my uncle can't control it?" Ning Weidong didn't believe that the Chen family couldn't even solve such a small problem. Chen Baohua looked embarrassed: "It's not that we can't suppress it, but you don't know the situation. There is also the matter of Deputy Director Zhang."

Ning Weidong didn't know who this person was, but he was probably someone who was in competition with Chen's father. Although the Chen family can use force, it is also easy for the other party to use force. Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "Brother Dabao, how many workers are there in that soda factory?" Chen Baohua said: "A total of 120 people." Ning Weidong said, "I will keep all 120 people. From now on, their wages will be calculated as those of fourth-level state-owned workers. In addition, I will give each person 20 yuan first. I only have one request, that they do it themselves and get rid of that bastard factory director." Chen Baohua took a deep breath. This move was so cruel that it could kill people. Some of the workers in the soda factory are from large collectives, and some are temporary workers. They are in Heilongjiang Province and their wages are very low. Ning Weidong actually promised to provide them with salaries according to the fourth-level state-owned enterprise system, which would even double their income. In addition, an extra twenty dollars was given. This is because they are afraid that people will not believe it, so they just give money on the spot to gain their trust. Ask them to get rid of the culprit themselves. It's so simple and crude, who can stand it~ Most people at the soda factory just followed suit. The factory director had some prestige, but not much. If you keep putting pressure on them, you will actually bring them together. However, if you divide them based on interests, 99% of them will not stick together to the end. If there really was such a thing, Ning Weidong would also praise them for their "toughness" and then tell them to roll as far away as possible. This method is good, but when Chen Baohua calculated it in his mind, he realized that the cost was too high! Not to mention the future salary standards, just for 120 people, 20 yuan per person, that would be 2,400 yuan. But he didn't know that Ning Weidong had tens of millions in his hands and had no idea where to spend them. But in any case, Chen Baohua breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you have a response, I am relieved." Ning Weidong said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm going to Sulian soon, please help me keep an eye on the family, my brother is young, I dare not count on him." Speaking of Ning Wei, Chen Baohua said: "You can't say that. I think Xiao Wei is good. He is young but he does things well." At this moment, a train whistle sounded from a distance. Ning Weidong and Chen Baohua turned their heads and saw a train coming towards them in reverse. After a while, he came closer and struck the front of the carriage next to Ning Weidong. With a loud "bang", the hooks at both ends collided with each other. Then a man got off the front car, checked it, and went back. Ning Weidong knew he was leaving, so he didn't delay and said to Chen Baohua, "Brother Dabao, I'm leaving first." Chen Baohua waved his hand, watched Ning Weidong jump onto the ladder to get on the car in one step, and turned sideways to say goodbye to him. As soon as he finished speaking, the train that had just stopped began to move forward slowly. ……

At the same time, in Vladivostok, hundreds of kilometers away. Kadyrov was stroking his shiny pipe in his office. Just at this moment, an intelligence soldier came in: "Report, Mr. Jiang Jun, the latest situation from China." Kadyrov took the telegram and his already wrinkled brows furrowed even deeper. Last time it was about departure, this time it was the news that Ning Weidong arrived in Harbin. Kadyrov couldn't help but take a deep breath, he knew that he didn't have much time to hesitate. Once Ning Weidong arrived at the border with the vodka, he had to make a choice. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look to the north, which was the direction of Boli. The military and local authorities remain in a stalemate. In this game, the local faction and the exile faction merged and became stronger. However, the military is blocking the border passages and naturally has an advantageous position. This is also the biggest asset that allows these military leaders to ask for such high prices. But the local people were not easy to deal with either. They acted like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and refused to give in, forcing the military to turn the table. They are all thousand-year-old foxes. By this time, Kadyrov had already seen through the plans of old Kiroryov and his gang. They couldn't stop the military's covetousness, and didn't want to cut flesh from themselves, so they waited for Ning Weidong to come and encounter difficulties with the military. At that time, the ball will be put at Ning Weidong's feet. As long as Ning Weidong wants to solve the problem, he will have to make concessions, and the problem will be solved. But is it really that simple? This is obviously a rogue move, will Ning Weidong give in? Kadyrov also had a hunch that it wouldn't be that easy. Looking at the gloomy weather outside the window, he felt particularly heavy-hearted. But no matter what, he was inevitably pushed to the front line. Thinking of this, Kadyrov cursed in the Soviet Union and picked up the phone on the table: "Hello, this is Kadyrov, calling your regiment commander... Mikhail, prepare a platoon for me... They must be reliable, and each person will receive an additional allowance of 300 rubles..." After hanging up the phone, Kadyrov took a deep breath. He originally wanted to delay it, but Ning Weidong came too quickly and he had no choice. (End of this chapter)
