Rebirth: Official Fortune Prosperity

Hai Changchun had some vague guesses, but Tang Shaoying's words still shocked him.

The president of Lu’s Jade Industry and the future heir actually disguised himself as the vice president and ran to Chaojiang to see me. What did he want?

Hai Changchun had seen Jack Liu's methods. He could get the president of the South American region removed from office with just one phone call. This ability was indeed in line with Zhang Maocai's identity. However, he lacked the corresponding motivation!

Tang Shaoying said: "Zhang Maocai came to Yangcheng and asked me to acquire Sino-Ocean International Group. He disguised himself as Jack Liu and went to Chaojiang and the three cities to investigate the market and look for acquisition targets."

Hai Changchun was even more confused. What was going on? Jack and Liu had clearly agreed to do a big smuggling business together...

Moreover, he couldn't think of any benefits that Lu's Jade Industry could gain from acquiring Sino-Ocean International.

After a brief thought, Hai Changchun asked, "Secretary, what do you mean?"

Tang Shaoying said: "We built Sino-Ocean International Group together. I certainly don't want it to fall into the hands of others. Especially since you just won the public-private partnership of Yangjiang Transportation Line. This is a good card to curb Liu Fusheng. How can I easily hand it over to others?"

Hai Changchun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Tang Shaoying said, "Changchun, last time when we were having dinner in Yangcheng, I told you in person that we are not just a superior-subordinate relationship, but good friends who have known each other for many years. There are some things that I don't trust to others, and only you can satisfy me."

Hai Changchun immediately swore, "Secretary, rest assured. No matter what you want, even if it means taking my life, I will never hesitate. My only request is that you let me die and let me be a ghost who knows nothing about it... Since you know that Jack Liu is Zhang Maocai, why didn't you tell me?"

Tang Shaoying sighed, "Zhang Maocai disguised himself as Jack Liu, he must have his own plan. Do you think he would have a problem with me if I leaked this matter? If I tell you his identity, will your attitude towards him change? Do you dare to continue the business you want to do with the Lu's Jade Group?"

Hai Changchun suddenly understood. He nodded and said, "I see. I didn't think it through. I didn't expect you to know about the business."

Hai Changchun said this with great trepidation, because he had never told Tang Shaoying about the business he discussed with Jack Liu.

Unexpectedly, he revealed this secret so casually.

Hai Changchun thought that it was Zhang Maocai who leaked his secret, but he didn't expect that Tang Shaoying's nonchalant tone was actually a trick on him.

Tang Shaoying had only guesses about Hai Changchun's private business and had no substantial evidence. However, he understood Hai Changchun's character. The profits of Sino-Ocean International Group's surface business needed to be distributed layer by layer. For Hai Changchun, what he could get in the end was too little. Therefore, he would definitely use the platform of Sino-Ocean International Group to do some of his own private affairs.

Hearing Hai Changchun admit this, Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. But I hope that in the future, you will tell me about this kind of thing in person, instead of getting the news through other channels."

Hai Changchun said with some fear: "I remember, Secretary, in fact, every time I do business, I will reserve your share..."

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "No need. I will take the money I deserve. Don't let me get involved in this kind of illegal and disciplinary activities."

Upon hearing this, Hai Changchun immediately stopped talking.

After a pause, Tang Shaoying asked again: "You must be wondering why Zhang Maocai wanted to cooperate with you in the smuggling business?"

Hai Changchun said: "Is he trying to get more information about Sino-Ocean International?"

Tang Shaoying smiled and said, "In fact, Mr. Zhang also wants to make more money. He wants to understand your money-making model by cooperating with you. After Lu's Jade Industry acquires Sino-Ocean International, he can continue to make money through this model."

Hai Changchun suddenly realized, "This Zhang Maocai is really good at calculating."

In fact, he was a little doubtful in his heart. After all, Zhang Maocai was the president and future heir of Lu's Jade Industry. How could he be short of money when he owned such a huge business empire?

If the smuggling was discovered, it would have a huge impact on his reputation and even shake his position in Lu's Jade Industry.

Of course, Hai Changchun never dared to express these doubts, for fear that he might say something wrong and make Tang Shaoying angry.

Tang Shaoying seemed to know what Hai Changchun was thinking, and explained to him: "There are also many factions within the Lu's Jade Industry, and the struggle is very fierce. It's not as glamorous as it seems on the surface."

Hai Changchun quickly said, "Where did you get that from?"

Tang Shaoying said: "Zhang Maocai was just a low-class person in the early years. He had only known his uncle for a few years. Although Lu Chengfang tried his best to support him, the rest of the Lu family did not recognize this future helmsman because his existence had already touched the fundamental interests of the rest of the Lu family."

"With this premise, Zhang Maocai must do his best to stabilize people's hearts and win the support of others, so he needs a lot of funds."

"Perhaps he disguised himself as Jack Liu and negotiated business with you not to please you, but because he wanted to gain more wealth, or even develop some direct followers within the group through smuggling. After all, the subordinates who have done the same shady business together are definitely more reliable."

Hai Changchun understood that the business world is like a battlefield, where intrigue and factionalism are common.

Zhang Maocai has no foundation, so it is understandable that he chose to do this.

Hai Changchun said: "Thank you Secretary for clearing up my doubts. Do you think I need to continue to cooperate with Zhang Maocai?"

Tang Shaoying said: "Of course it is necessary. I order you to cooperate with Zhang Maocai and agree to the acquisition request of Lu's Jade Industry and merge and reorganize Sino-Ocean International with it."

"what?"

Hai Changchun was stunned on the spot.

"Don't you understand?" Tang Shaoying asked in a cold voice.

Hai Changchun said anxiously: "Secretary, you just said that there are some things that you can only rest assured if I do them!"

Tang Shaoying said: "I have already dealt with Zhang Maocai, now it is your turn to deal with him. Only if you keep him calm can he continue to do business with you."

Hai Changchun said in confusion: "I agree to the merger request of Lu's Jade Industry, and then do business with Zhang Maocai? This is a bit inappropriate, right? His identity has been exposed, and he will..."

Tang Shaoying interrupted him and said, "You are wrong. Zhang Maocai's identity has not been exposed. The person doing business with you is only Jack Liu... Only after your business is completed, will it be confirmed that Zhang Maocai, the president of Lu's Jade Industry Group, has engaged in illegal large-scale smuggling activities."

Hai Changchun took a deep breath, and he finally understood: "As long as we have evidence of Zhang Maocai's smuggling, then this person will have to cooperate with us. It can even be said that through him, Secretary, you can control the huge Lu's Jade Industry."

"This move of yours is really brilliant."
