Chapter 299 Three Million In fact, based on Director Li’s reaction today, Ning Weidong guessed that there must have been some progress on Zhao Lichun’s side, otherwise Director Li would not have been so irritated. However, Ning Weidong did not expect that Director Li could move so quickly. It’s not that Director Li is so powerful that he can’t be moved. But given the current situation, the other side will definitely try every means to keep Director Li. After the conversation, Ning Weidong hung up the phone. Zhao Lichun couldn't be relied upon for the time being, so Director Li had his men surround the construction site. Over the next few days, although there were no major actions by both sides, there were constant minor frictions. …… Ning Weidong's room in the county guesthouse. An Ning said with a worried look on his face, "We can't go on like this! Having them hanging around outside is not only annoying, but they are also always causing trouble. The materials we brought in have been blocked several times in the past two days. They are just like a toad crawling on your feet. They don't bite, but they are disgusting."

Ning Weidong stood by the window looking outside. He was very clear about the situation in the past few days and knew that the construction site was affected. More importantly, if it were just this, we could just bear with it and build the factory first. This is the most urgent task. Everything else can be put aside. But now, Director Li's approach has obviously affected the progress of construction, and there is a tendency for him to be more aggressive and move forward step by step. If we leave this situation unchecked, it will only get worse. But when it comes to countermeasures, there is really no way at the moment. Although Zhao Lichun has made some progress, it is still far from quenching immediate thirst. According to the current situation, one of Zhao Lichun and Director Li will definitely leave before May 1st. At the scene, the only way to curb the opponent's relentless pressure is to further escalate the situation. That would actually be what Director Li wanted. Once the situation becomes tense, the factory will definitely have to stop production, and Director Li can take the opportunity to put the blame on Ning Weidong. The reason why Director Li is still restraining himself is that he does not want to take this responsibility. Ning Weidong pondered silently and had an idea, but he was not sure whether it would work. Just at this moment, Li Yuanchao came in from outside, saw An Ning and said with a smile: "Manager An is here too~" An Ning quickly responded, and seeing that Li Yuanchao had something to say, she tactfully said, "Well, you guys chat first, I'm going back." After An Ning left, Li Yuanchao stepped forward and handed Ning Weidong a cigarette: "This old man is quite sinister~" Ning Weidong knew that he was referring to Director Li, and he also heard some hidden meaning in his words, and his heart immediately moved. But he remained calm: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in a county, how can they not have any tricks?" Li Yuanchao took a puff of his cigarette and said without hiding anything: "Do you need my help?"

Ning Weidong didn't speak immediately, his mind was working rapidly, weighing the pros and cons. It stands to reason that at this moment, if Li Yuanchao was willing to take action, many problems would definitely be solved. But there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to use the Li family’s resources, you have to pay a price. This was something Ning Weidong was unwilling to accept. And at this moment, Ning Weidong has not reached the end of his rope. After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother Yuanchao, don't worry, I have a way." Li Yuanchao frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes. Ning Weidong reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Chong Xin said that your cooperation with me this time is a great help to me. You are also under pressure from your family, and I can't make things difficult for you again." Li Yuanchao was stunned. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to consider it from this angle. The unhappy mood that I had felt disappeared in an instant. It’s not that Ning Weidong is good at speaking, but that Ning Weidong’s words really touched his heart. Li Yuanchao's position in the family was awkward. He was the youngest child, and due to special reasons, he took a different path. If the history were to go in a different direction, the Li family would be centered around him. Although the possibility of that is very small. Now that the overall situation has been decided, Li Yuanchao's role no longer exists, and he is destined to be a rich and idle person for the rest of his life. Li Yuanchao knew it clearly, but he was unwilling to accept it. But no matter how unwilling he is, he will not act on impulse. He didn't expect that Ning Weidong actually understood him. At this moment, Li Yuanchao couldn't tell what he felt. He was silent for a long time before he said, "Weidong, just tell me when you need me." After seeing Li Yuanchao off, Ning Weidong took a deep breath. Li Yuanchao was rejected, but the matter is not resolved yet. He couldn't help but sigh, and after thinking for a moment, he called Wang Yuanping: "Let's go back to the city." …… The next morning, Ning Weidong met Zhao Lichun at the Machinery Bureau Guesthouse in Jingzhou City. After not seeing him for a few days, Zhao Lichun has obviously lost weight, which shows that it is not easy for him to get around in the city. The two of them were not in the mood to chat about family matters, so Zhao Lichun asked directly: "Weidong, what do you think about the county?" Ning Weidong suddenly returned to the city, and Zhao Lichun guessed that he was going to do something. Ning Weidong nodded and said, "We can't let them surround the construction site all the time and make people panic."

Zhao Lichun nodded and waited for his next words. Ning Weidong asked back: "Brother, my family should have some connections in the bank~" Zhao Ruyu was transferred to work in a bank, which means that the Zhao family has some connections in the banking system, but I don’t know whether it can radiate to Handong. Zhao Lichun was surprised and said, "This... is somewhat true." Ning Weidong felt relieved when he heard this: "Brother, find a way to get me three million in cash." Zhao Lichun was stunned. Three million is not a small amount. At that time, the largest denomination was the ten-yuan Great Unity note. Three million in cash weighed several hundred kilograms, and if piled together, it would take up half a truck. It was for this reason that Ning Weidong specifically asked if he had any banking connections. Although there is cash in Dongyi Company's account, it should be possible to withdraw it directly, but in reality, if you really go there, you will definitely not be able to withdraw it. Moreover, if we really want to take out the three million in cash, it will be a hot potato no matter where we put it. Zhao Lichun reacted very quickly and immediately understood what Ning Weidong meant: "You want to put this money on the construction site?" Ning Weidong smiled and thought that it was easy to talk to smart people. Nodding, he said, "As the old saying goes, a big reward will always bring out brave men. The people on the construction site are in a panic these days because they have been surrounded. Let's put all this money on the spot. It will be like a small mountain. I don't believe that we can't suppress the enemy." Zhao Lichun knew that this was only one of the options. The real power of this trick was that once such a large sum of money was involved, the city would definitely need to provide public security protection. Director Li, the director of the county Ge Committee, has no control over the public security in the city. Besides, with such a huge sum of money involved, the responsibility is extremely heavy. If something goes wrong, who will take the responsibility? What’s even more terrible is that the money is in Ning Weidong’s hands, and it can go wrong at any time and anywhere. What would he do if hundreds of thousands of dollars were suddenly gone? In short, anyone who gets involved will be in big trouble. After thinking this through, Zhao Lichun couldn't help but look deeply at his brother-in-law in front of him. In recent years, he considered himself to be a capable person among his peers, but he had to admit that Ning Weidong had these wild ideas in his mind. However, they do not know that in the next few decades, using economic interests to leverage political resources will no longer be a new thing. (End of this chapter)
