Chapter 228: Oranges grow in the south of the Huai River, while tangerines grow in the north of the Huai River The man revealed his identity, but there was an obvious loophole and he fell silent again. Ning Weidong sneered and winked at Ning Wei. Ning Wei went up and kicked him. There was no need to restrain himself and talk to such a person according to the rules. The man groaned and still said nothing. "You want to play hardball with me?" Ning Weidong stood up and said, "Xiaowei, don't hold back, serve this teacher Wang well. If he still refuses to accept my toast, then send him directly to Zhang Dajun to see if he is a special agent sent by the enemy." Ning Wei responded immediately. The middle-aged man who called himself Wang Deren was panicked. Although he didn't know who the 'Zhang Dajun' that Ning Weidong mentioned was, he was obedient and could take care of such matters, so he was obviously not an ordinary person. If it was just lynching, he thought he could just grit his teeth and get through it, but Ning Weidong's place was just a collective enterprise, and he hadn't done anything bad, so they would most likely not take the risk of killing him.

But once you are in police station, things are not so simple. Once there, people will have countless ways to pry open his mouth. Wang Deren couldn't help but shiver. Almost at the same time, Ning Wei punched and kicked him again. The physical pain, coupled with the psychological shakes, made it impossible for this man to maintain his composure. Seeing Ning Weidong about to go out, he hurriedly called out: "Wait, comrade, wait~" But before he could finish his words, Ning Wei slapped him in the face with a big slap and cursed, "Who says you are gay, you bastard." Wang Deren's ears were buzzing from the beating, but he ignored the pain and said in defense, "No, I'm really not a special w!" Ning Weidong stopped, but there was not much joy on his face. Judging from this person's reaction, he doesn't really seem like a special W. In this era, unlike before Ning Weidong traveled through time, the threshold for special W has been continuously lowered due to the spread of network technology. At this time, Te W is still a very professional profession with technical barriers. Especially the special forces that appeared in the capital are the elite among the elite, and their physical and psychological qualities must be excellent. The man in front of me did not possess this trait. Ning Weidong didn't sit back, but just stood there and said, "Go ahead." The implication is that if what you say doesn't satisfy him, he will turn around and leave immediately. Wang Deren licked his lips nervously and said, "I~I'm really not special!" Ning Weidong raised his hand and stretched out a finger without comment, meaning that this was the first sentence he said. Wang Deren swallowed his saliva. Although Ning Weidong didn't say how many chances he would give him, generally speaking, there is no more than three chances, so it should be three times.

Wang Deren paused, not daring to speak rashly and waste the opportunity. He thought for a moment and said, "Well... Comrade, I came here just out of curiosity. I really have no other intentions..." Ning Weidong looked at him, stretched out his second finger, and said calmly: "You have one last chance." Wang Deren's heart was pounding, his Adam's apple rolled and made a gurgling sound, he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, and did not speak for a long time. Ning Weidong waited for him for a few seconds, but didn't wait any longer. He put his hand down and said calmly, "Xiaowei, go make a phone call and ask Zhang Dajun to come over. Hand the person over to him. Tell him that you will only give him one afternoon." Ning Wei immediately responded, turned around and walked out. Wang Deren said quickly: "No, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Ning Weidong turned a deaf ear to him and walked straight out after talking to Ning Wei. Wang Deren finally panicked. He had a premonition that if the young man in front of him walked out of the room, he would be completely finished. "Wait, let me tell you!" Wang Deren responded: "I'm really not a special person. It's my master who arranged for me to look after this hotel..." Ning Weidong paused, turned around and asked, "Your master?" Wang Deren nodded quickly. With a beginning, the rest would be much easier. Wang Deren talked a lot and told him everything he knew. It's not that he's spineless, it's mainly because there's no need to do that. To paraphrase Ning Weidong's words before he traveled through time, it's only 3,000 yuan a month, what are you playing with~ The same situation happened to Wang Deren. When his father An placed such a large sum of gold in the Fumin Hotel, he certainly would not just ignore it. He sent his trusted servants to keep an eye on the area and also arranged accommodation and legal jobs for them. This person is Wang Deren. However, Wang Deren also knew that the host had hidden something in the Fumin Hotel. As for what exactly was hidden, which floor it was on, and where it was hidden, he didn't know. As for why he came to ask questions, his motive was very simple. They were afraid that Ning Weidong and the others would smash the walls and dig the ground, fearing that the things they had hidden would be discovered. I want to check and see if there is any news. Ning Weidong had no expression on his face. After listening to him finish speaking, he said in a deep voice, "You are a member of the An family. Do you know An Ning?" Wang Deren said quickly, "You mean the eldest lady? I know her. Are you her friend?" Ning Weidong didn't respond and just got up and left. Wang Deren opened his mouth and wanted to call him, but Ning Wei glared at him, so he shrank his neck and didn't call out. Ning Weidong went downstairs and borrowed a phone from the hotel next door. There is a telephone line in the new office building, but it has not been connected yet. The call was made to An Ning's home: "Hello, I'm Ning Weidong. There is something going on. Please come to the hotel now." After saying that, he hung up. An Ning was puzzled, but she did not dare to delay and drove over immediately. It took less than twenty minutes. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw Ning Weidong, and he hurried over to ask, "What's going on?"

Because she came out in a hurry, An Ning didn't dress up. Her long hair was simply pinned into a bun on her head with a wooden hairpin, and she wore a floral skirt underneath. As the weather was getting colder, she put on a beige long windbreaker with her chest open and unbuttoned, and her calves were wrapped in a pair of flesh-colored stockings. Ning Weidong couldn't help but take another look and asked, "Where did you buy the stockings?" Thigh-length stockings like these are hard to buy these days. An Ning smiled and turned around: "Does it look good? I had someone bring it from Hong Kong." "It looks great~" Ning Weidong responded, then asked her to go upstairs and told her about the situation of capturing Wang Deren. "Wang Deren?" An Ning thought about it and had no impression of this name. It might be a pseudonym. As they were talking, the two came to the fourth floor. An Ning saw the man and looked at him with a frown. Wang Deren was also surprised. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to call An Ning over so quickly. The two seemed to have a close relationship, so he quickly called out, "Miss, Miss, I'm Xiao Wang. I drove the car at home when you were a child. Do you remember?" After he reminded her, An Ning vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a driver who looked somewhat like this man. But later, because the situation was bad, his family stopped using the car in order to keep a low profile. They donated it directly, and the driver also disappeared. An Ning didn't expect that she would meet the driver again after more than ten years. Wang Deren said hurriedly, "Miss, I followed the master's order and was asked to watch over this place for more than ten years. These few days, I found that there was a commotion here, so I wanted to inquire about it and see what was going on, but I was caught by this comrade. Miss, please ask this comrade for mercy." An Ning did not speak rashly in the face of the earnest plea of ​​this "loyal servant". He followed Ning Weidong to the corridor and asked, "What happened?" Ning Weidong took out a cigarette from his pocket and asked, "Is it really yours?" An Ning hesitated and shook her head: "I seem to remember that there was such a person, also named Wang, but... I was only a few years old at the time, and I have no impression of him. What are you going to do with this person?" An Ning was very sober and rational, and she was not overly excited about suddenly seeing the elderly people in her family. She has been here for all these years, so what if she is a driver, let alone a legitimate relative? What's more, based on what the other party said, An Ning keenly realized that Wang Deren was not honest. As soon as she arrived, the other party recognized her and called her "Miss". But this is not An Ning's first time here. Wang Deren claimed that it was An's father who asked him to keep an eye on the Fumin Hotel. He seemed loyal to his duty and when he discovered the situation at the hotel, he came over to get the inside scoop. If he happened to miss An Ning once or twice, but he happened to miss An Ning every time she came? So the fact is, he had probably discovered An Ning a long time ago and knew her identity, but he did not take the initiative to recognize her. This is worth pondering. Is there some unspeakable secret, or does he simply want to take the things that the An family hid here for himself? An Ning and Ning Weidong are not children. They would not believe in the kind of thing that would lead to someone sticking to a promise for more than ten years. There are people like this in the world, but Wang Deren is definitely not one of them. There is a shrewd look in this man's eyes, and he is not the kind of person who is inflexible. As for Ning Weidong, it is enough to make sure that there is no one behind this person, or that he has some ulterior motive. Ning Weidong said: "Since it is yours, you can do whatever you want. I can do whatever I want."

An Ning thought for a moment and said, "Save him to the end, and send the Buddha to the west. Since he has been arrested, let's ask him clearly and let him tell us everything he knows. This person... I don't think he is very honest." Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. I'll ask Xiaowei to cooperate with you. If it doesn't work, call Zhang Dajun." An Ning nodded, a fierce look flashing in her eyes. In fact, Ning Weidong could guess what she was thinking. When her parents died, she was working in a production team in another place and was not in Beijing, so she didn't know the specific situation at that time. When she came back, she was alone, her parents had died, and she had no home. In the end, she had no choice but to marry Wang Jingsheng. For a long time, the cause of her parents' death has been a thorn in An Ning's heart. Now that she has caught Wang Deren, she naturally has to find a way to get to the bottom of the matter. Wang Deren is An's father's driver and a trusted servant. He also lets him look after the Fumin Hotel, showing that he trusts him greatly. An Ning concluded that Wang Deren must know something. …… Ning Weidong was not very interested in this, so he simply left the scene to An Ning and returned to the company. As soon as I arrived at the office, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan came. These two are still inseparable from Jiao and Meng. Hu Bayi said: "Manager, we found a good place!" Ning Weidong knew that he was talking about the place where the winery was to be set up, so he asked him to explain in detail. But it was Wang Kaixuan who rushed to say, "Old Yang helped find it." Old Yang is Yang Hongqi. When Wang Kaixuan came here for the first time, he came with Yang Hongqi. Wang Kaixuan said with great joy: "Old Yang's third uncle is in Factory 738..." "738?" Ning Weidong frowned. Hu Bayi immediately explained: "It's the Beijing Cable Plant." Ning Weidong suddenly realized and motioned for them to continue. Wang Kaixuan said: "In the past few years, good people and good horses went to the third front, and a large part of the people in Factory 738 went to the southwest. Now there are a lot of vacant places, ready-made workshops and factory buildings, and industrial electricity, which can be used right away." Ning Weidong nodded, this is the best way. However, every advantage has its disadvantages, for example, the property rights and leasing procedures for the workshops in this type of factory are rather complicated. Ning Weidong asked, "What does Lao Yang's uncle do in the factory?" Wang Kaixuan said, "Deputy Director, don't worry, I have the final say. He said that for only 200,000 yuan, he would sell us the two large factory buildings at the east end of the factory, which together with the vacant land, totals 15 acres." Ning Weidong's heart moved. Buying 15 acres of land with 200,000 yuan, and there are ready-made workshops and factories on it, is not cheap in this era. After all, a courtyard house in the city center, including the house and the land, one and a half acres of land, only costs 30,000 to 40,000 yuan.

But it cannot be said to be expensive for Ning Weidong. After all, he is really rich now. The most important thing is that the factory and supporting facilities are ready-made and do not need to spend time on construction. Industrial electricity, roads inside and outside the factory, and supporting warehouses are all available. After listening to Wang Kaixuan, Ning Weidong nodded. He understood what the two meant, that they wanted him to go and see it in person before making a decision. Ning Weidong looked at Hu Bayi and said, "Old Hu, Fatty, I told you that the winery is entirely yours. I only want the final result. Since you think it's okay, then pay for it. However, there is one thing. The formalities must be complete. Don't be vague." The two of them immediately agreed. Fatty Wang was very happy, but Hu Bayi felt even more pressure. Ning Weidong seemed to not care about anything, but he threw all the responsibilities to him. But Hu Bayi had nothing to complain about. While Ning Weidong was shirking his responsibilities, he also gave him enough trust and support. He gave him money and power. What else was there to complain about? After the two left, Ning Weidong was in a good mood. Sure enough, a loud drum needs a heavy hammer, and after applying enough pressure, Hu Bayi immediately stepped up his game. Once the factory site is confirmed, the remaining equipment and trial production will be easy to handle. If the equipment is available on the market, you can buy it directly. If not, find the corresponding manufacturer to make it custom-made. Using activated carbon to filter wine is not a high-tech technology. On the contrary, this time Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan gave him a reminder. When the Third Front Construction was being carried out a few years ago, many elite troops were withdrawn from the north, especially the northeast. Many factories were simply hollowed out, with the real essence moving to the southwest, leaving behind only an empty shell with inferior technology and personnel. This also laid the groundwork for the collective decline of the original state-owned factories in the north in the 1980s and 1990s. Factory 738 is just a microcosm, there are many similar situations in Beijing. If you want to set up an instant noodle factory in the future, you can also follow this approach. Ning Weidong was thinking to himself that it was almost noon before he knew it. I was thinking about meeting the girl from the third branch of the An family in the afternoon when An Ning came. When Ning Weidong saw her coming in in a hurry with a unhappy look on her face, he guessed that she must have heard some unpleasant news from Wang Deren. "What's wrong? Why are you so angry?" Ning Weidong asked. An Ning sat down on the sofa and let out a long sigh, "Nothing, that man really was our driver." Ning Weidong didn't doubt this, he smiled and said, "After a long time, have you developed other ideas?" An Ning nodded: "The keys to the two safes are in his hands..." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that An's father would leave the key here. But on second thought, it seems logical. At the beginning, An's father would definitely not hand over such an important thing to a driver. But later on, the situation was beyond his expectations, and he realized that he could not escape, so he made a hasty decision.

Give the key to Wang Deren and give it to An Ning when she comes back. Wang Deren had the key, but he didn't know where the safe was. Although the Fumin Hotel was there, it was a building with four floors and dozens of rooms, so it was not easy to go in and find something. So, under the circumstances at that time, it was not wrong to give the key to Wang Deren. However, people’s hearts are hidden. If it was just one or two years, Wang Deren might still be loyal to his duties based on the original gratitude. But this is not just one or two years, but more than ten years. How could people's hearts remain unchanged after such a long time? So, even though Wang Deren knew two years ago that An Ning had returned to the capital, he did not go looking for her, nor did he return the key to the safe. Ning Weidong paused and could only say: Human hearts are hard to predict and fate plays tricks on people. If Wang Deren had given the key to An Ning in advance, An Ning would not have to look for Ning Weidong after finding the safe. She could easily book a room at the Fumin Hotel for a long time and then move the gold bars away bit by bit like an ant moving house. Unfortunately, there are not so many ifs in this world. Ning Weidong asked: "How do you plan to deal with this person?" An Ning pursed her lips and said, "Forget it, let him go~" Ning Weidong said with a half-smile: "Just let him go like that? If it weren't for him, all the gold would be yours." An Ning rolled his eyes and said bluntly, "Don't dig a hole for me. Even if I get the gold, I can't deal with it. At most I can take out one or two to cash in. But do I need tens of thousands of dollars to support my life now?" That is true. Such a large amount of gold cannot be converted into cash without public channels, and even if it is sold on the black market, it will incur huge risks. There are both white and black groups among them. If I were really exposed and caught by the police, I wouldn’t be able to explain myself clearly. The gangsters are afraid of being targeted and robbed by their own gangs. Therefore, for An Ning, this result may be the best one. She said that Ning Weidong set a trap for her, and if she felt great resentment towards Wang Deren, it meant that she was unwilling to accept the ownership of the gold. It also means that he has resentment towards Ning Weidong. Ning Weidong was not afraid of her resentment, but the fact that she couldn't even figure out the interests involved meant that An Ning's future was limited. Ning Weidong laughed: "You are quite open-minded. Don't worry, you will definitely get your share. Moreover, as long as you follow me and work hard, I promise that the wealth you will have in the future will be far more than this little bit of gold can compare to." An Ning curled her lips and said, "Alright, I know you are capable, so stop making promises for me." Because she had a very 'deep' relationship with Ning Weidong, An Ning became more and more relaxed around him, and said, "By the way, there is one more thing." Ning Weidong said, "Hmm," "You say~"

An Ning said: "Yesterday I told An Zhicheng that I would meet you in advance today, and he also gave me some information." "What news?" Ning Weidong pointed at the thermos and motioned An Ning to pour water. "Make tea?" An Ning stood up and asked as he went to get the thermos. He continued, "He told me that An Zhiyuan seemed to have met an important person recently..." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized something. No wonder An Zhiyuan didn't seem to be as anxious as before in the past two days. It turned out that he had hope of finding another way. Ning Weidong asked: "Do you know who it is?" An Ning shook her head: "He didn't say anything, and I don't think I know either. He just arrived and I don't know where he got the half-baked information from." Ning Weidong thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. I'll have someone take a look at it later." Ning Weidong didn't care too much about An Zhiyuan's behavior. After all, they are not getting married with a marriage certificate. Everyone is cooperating and getting what they need. There is no rule that An Zhiyuan can only cooperate with him and cannot look for others. What's more, Ning Weidong is also in contact with the third branch of the An family, so no one should say anything to each other. Having said that, we cannot be confused about who An Zhiyuan is looking for. Ning Weidong must be aware of this. Putting this aside for the moment, Ning Weidong turned around and said, "Sister An, I have a very important matter here that I want you to take charge of." An Ning was shocked, she could tell that Ning Weidong said "responsible" instead of "help". This shows that this is not a small matter, nor is it something that can be said in just a few words, but rather a complex, continuous action. "What's the matter?" An Ning was slightly excited but remained expressionless. As the daughter of a big capitalist, some things are engraved in my genes. An Ning knew very well that money or capital alone could not be transformed into power. Only when one had a certain thing in hand could one use the "thing" to move money and thus turn money into a certain kind of power. Now, is Ning Weidong planning to let her do something? Ning Weidong didn't know what An Ning was thinking at that moment, and continued: "I plan to set up an instant noodle factory in the country..." "Instant noodles?" An Ning was slightly surprised. Ning Weidong nodded, but did not explain to An Ning why he wanted to run an instant noodle factory. He needed to tell Zhao Ruyu those reasons, but there was no need to tell An Ning. An Ning is a doer. You just need to give her a goal and let her execute it. Ning Weidong continued: "I plan to use Japanese equipment and production lines for this factory. You will help me operate them." An Ning was stunned and repeated: "You want to import production lines from Japan!" Unexpectedly, Ning Weidong shook his head. An Ning was a little confused. Ning Weidong explained to her: "It's not imported, it's from a formal channel. I just want to use Japanese equipment, so it doesn't matter what channel I used to get it."

An Ning suddenly realized, and added that what she had discussed with Xiang Jiang An's family before was to go S, the meaning was too obvious. However, setting up a production line is not as difficult as producing some parts for televisions and tape recorders. The main thing is that the Japanese side actually turned a blind eye to the latter. Even if it was S-grade products, they had to pay for them, but if it was a S-grade production line, the nature of the product was different. Ning Weidong had already made plans, and continued, "I plan to let you and the third branch do this together. We should not buy a production line in a big way. If we do that, the Japanese will definitely raise the price given their shrewdness. In the name of Hong Kong, you can express your concerns about the current situation and want to move to Japan. You can make an initial investment and directly buy a small or medium-sized instant noodle factory..." An Ning reacted quickly and immediately understood what Ning Weidong meant: "Are you planning to buy the factory and dismantle the equipment and ship it away?" Ning Weidong waved his hand: "That would be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs~" An Ning was stunned and a little confused. Ning Weidong said: "After buying the factory, we feel that the equipment is old and outdated. Is it normal to want to make additional investments, expand the scale, and replace the equipment?" An Ning finally understood. Ning Weidong added: "Will it be normal for us to decide to invest in Nanyang and open a branch factory after the new equipment is produced?" This era was the time when Japanese capital was expanding outward, and it was common for companies to invest overseas. As long as it was not in China, the restrictions were not strict. After listening to Ning Weidong's general direction, An Ning's brain started thinking rapidly about the chances of success of doing so. Then I thought of a key question: "But if this is the case, we don't have any foreign exchange~" Ning Weidong knew that there was no foreign exchange, so he said calmly, "Let the An family in Xiangjiang pay for this money." "This..." An Ning was a little confused. Although the instant noodle factory was not a heavy industry and did not require much technical content, acquiring a factory in Japan would cost at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Even if the An family was rich, it would still hurt. However, she knew clearly that Ning Weidong would not be so crazy as to think that the An family must take the money if asked to do so. Sure enough, Ning Weidong continued: "Let the An family pay for this first, and I will pay them back in RMB in the country." An Ning still frowned. Although the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar was as high as at this time, it was not recognized in the international trade system. The Hong Kong dollar can be freely exchanged for British pounds and US dollars. Exchanging Hong Kong dollars for RMB is only feasible in theory. But Ning Weidong obviously had more to say: "If the An family gets the RMB, I can provide them with approval documents to purchase commodities that are allowed to be exported, such as... oil~" At this point, An Ning finally understood. Waiting here~ At this time, China is still an oil exporter. Last year, its annual oil production exceeded 100 million tons, ranking seventh in the world. Although the RMB is not hard enough, it is definitely a hard currency if it can buy oil. Moreover, the An family buys oil from the country and then resells it, whether it is bought in Hong Kong or transported to the East, they can make extra money. Ning Weidong asked: "What do you think?" An Ning fell into deep thought, staring deeply at the teacup in front of her, as if she could see the tea inside through the white porcelain cup lid. After a while, she moved a little, retracted her gaze, raised her head and said, "Weidong, I think your plan will work."

Ning Weidong smiled and said, "Since you think it's okay, I'll leave it to you to coordinate and execute it." Then he turned serious and said, "Some things can only be fought for by yourself. They won't fall from the sky. Sister An, I know you are not an ordinary woman. You have your ambitions. It's a good thing to have ambitions. Now the opportunity is given to you. It depends on you whether you can grasp it." An Ning's expression was serious. She met Ning Weidong's gaze and understood that Ning Weidong did not see her as a woman at this moment, let alone a partner in bed. This feeling was very useful to her. When she was very young, she accidentally heard her parents talking. At that time, her father An casually said, "It's a pity that Xiaoning is not a boy." An Ning still remembers it. She knew that her parents loved her very much, but she could never forget these words. At this moment, Ning Weidong's attitude made her feel like she had met a bosom friend. She said in a very serious tone, "I can definitely do it!" …… After handing over the instant noodle production line to An Ning, Ning Weidong met An Zhicheng from the third branch of the An family at around three o'clock in the afternoon. Unlike An Zhiyuan, An Zhicheng looks more like a northerner. He is tall, about meters, with a square face and broad shoulders, giving people the impression of a tough style. "Mr. Ning, I've long heard of your name." As soon as An Zhicheng arrived, he smiled and shook hands with Ning Weidong. Although he looked rough, he was very polite. Ning Weidong smiled and said, "An Zhicheng!" Then he looked at An Ning beside him and said, "I've heard Sister An talk about this most outstanding person of the An family's generation." An Zhicheng said, "You are too kind, cousin. Mr. Ning is a true young talent, a rare talent." Ning Weidong loosened his grip and said, "It's over, it's over~ Let's not talk about sirs here and there, you can just call me by my name or comrade." Ning Weidong treated An Zhicheng much more enthusiastically than An Zhiyuan, not because he had any prejudice against these two people. It's mainly a matter of time. When An Zhiyuan first came, Ning Weidong really had nothing to use from him, so naturally he had to maintain a high profile. Now it's An Zhicheng's turn. The reality has changed, and naturally his attitude has changed as well. Another thing is that compared to An Zhiyuan, the tall and strong An Zhicheng is more attractive to Ning Weidong. An Zhicheng smiled and said, "Then I will obey your orders. To be honest, when I was studying at Hong Kong University, I participated in the 'labor movement'. At that time, we all called each other comrades." "Oh?" Ning Weidong looked surprised. He really didn't know there was such a past. Judging from An Ning's expression, she obviously didn't know either, otherwise she wouldn't have kept silent. But regardless of whether it is true or not, since An Zhicheng revealed this situation, he is expressing goodwill. The third branch of the An family sent him here this time, probably because they took into account that he had this experience and could quickly build closer relations with this side. Ning Weidong's attitude suddenly became more enthusiastic. He shook hands with An Zhicheng again and asked about the original situation. After talking happily, Ning Weidong said, "Comrade Zhicheng, I regret that we met too late today. Wait a minute, I'll ask the canteen to prepare a few dishes, and we can talk while drinking." Then he patted An Zhicheng on the shoulder and said, "Don't look at my canteen as small, the chef He who is in charge of the kitchen is not simple." An Zhicheng was originally worried that Ning Weidong would be difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect the situation to be much better than he expected, so he readily agreed. Ning Weidong stood up, went to the desk next to him and picked up the phone: "Hello, Yu Hongmei, go to the front yard and ask Master He to prepare some snacks, quickly~"

After hanging up the phone, I saw Yu Hongmei jogging out of the office. Ning Weidong returned and continued chatting with An Zhicheng. In the front yard, although time was tight, He Yuzhu never failed in cooking. In less than twenty minutes, four dishes and a soup were prepared. Ning Weidong took a bottle of Moutai from the lounge. After a few drinks, my relationship with An Zhicheng became familiar and friendly. However, the two did not drink too much. After all, they still had things to discuss and drinking too much would cause trouble. An Zhicheng had a good alcohol tolerance. He drank three taels of Maotai without showing any sign of it on his face, let alone Ning Weidong. Finally, I found a reason to start talking about business. "Comrade Weidong." An Zhicheng looked at An Ning who was accompanying him and said, "You know the purpose of my visit, so I won't beat around the bush. To be honest, I didn't agree with the idea of ​​going S at first. I thought it was a crooked way. If you really fall into it, something bad will happen sooner or later." Ning Weidong listened and did not rashly express his opinion. An Zhicheng looked distressed: "But I went to Guangdong Province at the beginning of this year." Ning Weidong was not surprised. Although the border control is very strict at present, there are still ways to get across if one really wants to. Especially someone as wealthy as the An family. An Zhicheng said: "The top and the bottom of the mountain over there, and the East Pipe...all kinds of Japanese and Amei things, there is almost everything. At that time, I knew that the trend was unstoppable." Although Ning Weidong had never been there in person, he knew that the smuggling in the south had become increasingly rampant at that time. This is no secret either. Ning Weidong said: "So, the An family also wants to come in and get a piece of the pie?" An Zhicheng nodded decisively. Through his initial contact with Ning Weidong just now, he realized that Ning Weidong was a straightforward person and there was no need to beat around the bush. Ning Weidong slowly reached out and picked up the wine glass in front of him, and took a sip: "Tell me more about it. You just said that you saw it in Guangdong Province. You can't possibly want to get involved there too. If that's the case, I'm sorry I can't help you." An Zhicheng said, "Of course not. There is already a large-scale market in Guangdong Province, and there are fixed channels for purchasing and shipping..." At this point he smiled bitterly, "Don't worry about you laughing at me, with the current strength of our An family, we can't get in there at all." Ning Weidong said "hmm". In this respect, An Zhicheng was much more honest than An Zhiyuan. When I talked about this with An Zhiyuan before, he avoided the question and was unwilling to give a direct answer. An Zhicheng continued: "We think that instead of competing for the existing stock market in Guangdong Province, it is better to open up a new market..." As he spoke, he observed Ning Weidong's reaction, fearing that the other party might not understand. First, Ning Weidong is at this age. Normally, if he were in college, he wouldn’t even have graduated yet. Secondly, he had known Ning Weidong before he came. Ning Weidong went to the countryside after graduating from junior high school, so his cultural level was probably not very good. But in fact, after meeting, An Zhicheng discovered that Ning Weidong's performance was far from the rough and tumble man he had expected.

Listening to his explanation at this time is not pretending to understand. After he finished speaking, Ning Weidong concluded: "I understood correctly. You plan to create a similar S-market in Handong Province north of the Yangtze River. Electrical appliances from Japan will no longer go through Hong Kong, but directly into China, covering the north." An Zhicheng nodded. Ning Weidong remained silent and did not speak rashly. In fact, when An Zhiyuan came before, he also expressed this idea in a more obscure way. Generally speaking, whether you settle down in a two-bedroom or three-bedroom home, the overall plan remains the same. As for why they approached Ning Weidong from the very beginning, it was because Zhao Ruyu's second uncle was in the maritime police department of Handong Province. An Zhicheng observed Ning Weidong's reaction and didn't rush to speak. At this point, he has said everything that needs to be said, and the interests involved are clear. No matter what decision Ning Weidong, or the Zhao family behind them, makes, it cannot be shaken by him saying a few more or less words. After a long while, Ning Weidong moved his body and said slowly: "Zhicheng, your idea is very good. Avoid the south and find another way..." Ning Weidong said a lot of things, but An Zhicheng did not show any joy, because he guessed that Ning Weidong would definitely have another "but" to say later. Sure enough, as expected: "But you think some things are too simple. Handong Province is not Guangdong Province. The actual situation is different. The same thing will have different results." An Zhicheng asked: "Oranges grown in the south of the Huai River are oranges, while oranges grown in the north of the Huai River are tangerines?" "That's right~" Ning Weidong also said: "Guangdong Province is in the south of the sky. It's not an exaggeration to say that the emperor is far away from the mountain. Where is Handong? If you really want to learn from the top and the end of the mountain and run a distribution center-style smuggling market, I dare say that if you start on the first day, you will be killed by the military on the second day." An Zhicheng was stunned and frowned in thought. He really didn't expect this, and neither did the elders in his family. I just felt that based on my experience in Guangdong Province, I could just move to Handong and be done with it. But after hearing what Ning Weidong said, he was startled. Ning Weidong added: "Besides, Guangdong Province is a relatively special place in China. Some things can be turned a blind eye there, but not in other places. If you want to make money in China in the future, you must understand some rules." An Zhicheng was a little discouraged. No wonder Ning Weidong ignored An Zhiyuan from the second house after meeting him once. But he was still unwilling to give up: "Is there no other way?" "There must be a way~" Ning Weidong smiled: "Otherwise, why would you and I be sitting together today?" An Zhicheng said quickly: "Please give me some advice." Ning Weidong held up a finger and said, "First of all, you must not make it public. They are just being so blatant. In my opinion, they are courting death. A rabbit's tail will not grow long. I'm saying this, next year, or at most the year after, something will definitely happen." An Zhicheng nodded and did not refute. Ning Weidong continued: "Secondly, if you want to accomplish something, you must take care of everyone from top to bottom, and you can't eat alone." An Zhicheng understood that this was also the principle in their business, but he didn't quite understand who Ning Weidong was referring to as "up and down". Ning Weidong raised his third finger: "Third, it must be legitimate."

An Zhiyuan frowned even deeper, thinking how could he justify taking S away? He didn't need to ask, Ning Weidong didn't beat around the bush: "A few friends and I are planning to build a factory that specializes in assembling televisions and tape recorders..." Ning Weidong told Li Yuanchao about his plan to cooperate with him, selecting the things he could say. An Zhiyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he slapped his thigh fiercely: "Great! We can ship parts from Japan and assemble them in China. Once they leave the factory, they are legitimate products and can be sold openly." (End of this chapter)
