Chapter 2244
Wu Hongkang put the empty wine bottle on the ground, then picked up another bottle of wine, picked up the bottle opener, opened the cap, and then raised his head and took a sip.
"Old Zhou doing this, in my opinion, is ten to nine setting a trap for the Yin family."
Hearing this, Zhang Shenghui frowned and asked with full suspicion: "Setting a trap for the Yin family? How do you say that?"
Wu Hongkang asked: "Do you know the Qu family?"
"Heard of it!" Zhang Shenghui nodded: "Does the Qu family have a relationship with the Yin family?"
"That relationship is too big!"
Wu Hongkang said while grabbing two spiced peanuts and throwing them into his mouth, looking at Zhang Shenghui and asking.
"Do you know how many sons Yin Yuexian has?"
"Five!" Zhang Shenghui said without thinking: "Does this still need to be asked?"
Wu Hongkang laughed: "There are six. He also has a youngest son named Yin Mingfei. In the ten years that cannot be said, Yin Yuexian was beaten into an anti-revolutionary."
At that time, Yin Mingfei was about two or three years old, and he was sent to his eldest uncle's house in the countryside with his five-year-old second sister, until he was picked up to Beijing in 1977.
In June 1983, Yin Mingfei was sentenced to seven and a half years for hooliganism. At that time, if it followed the normal judicial process, Yin Mingfei's verdict could not have come so quickly.
As early as March or April, there was news that the public security environment was to be rectified, but not many people paid attention to it. Especially those courtyard children, they all had an idea in their hearts, that is, the law does not blame the public.
However, sitting in Yin Yuexian's position, there is no secret to talk about. He knew very well how much determination the center had for the rectification of the public security environment.
So Yin Yuexian hurriedly sentenced his youngest son. Just like that, Yin Mingfei, who was bound to die, saved his life because he was sentenced in advance and avoided a peanut.
Having said this, Wu Hongkang adjusted his sitting posture slightly, making his body sit more upright, then reached out and picked up the cigarette case on the table, skillfully pulled out a cigarette, lit it with a lighter, and took a deep puff.
"From this incident, we can imagine how severe the social situation was at that time, and how great the determination of the above to rectify crime was. Even the Yin family did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step. Even if they wanted to save Yin Mingfei, they could only do so through advance sentencing."
"And what everyone didn't expect was that the crackdown lasted for three years. It wasn't until the situation improved that the Yin family began to move."
Yin Mingfei served more than four years in prison and came out at the end of 1987. Then that guy publicly declared that he wanted to break off the father-son relationship with his father Yin Yuexian!
The reason was that when he was arrested and imprisoned, Yin Yuexian, as a father, not only did not try his best to rescue him, but instead let the court quickly make a verdict and send him to prison.
So from the moment he was taken away by the bailiff in court, he determined that he was no longer Yin Yuexian's son, and from then on, he broke off with the Yin family.
At that time, Yin Mingfei's remarks caused a huge uproar as soon as they spread. Everyone was waiting for how Yin Yuexian would deal with that rebellious son. But when he waited until the end, there was no sound, as if he had defaulted to Yin Mingfei's words.
Zhang Shenghui raised the beer bottle in his hand and touched it lightly with Wu Hongkang: "Doesn't he know that if it weren't for his father intervening and forcibly interfering with the judiciary, sentencing him in advance, I'm afraid the grass on his grave would have grown several stubbles by now!"
"Of course he knows."
Wu Hongkang took a deep puff of the cigarette, exhaled the smoke slowly, and nodded thoughtfully.
"He is not a fool, but he treats everyone in the world as a fool. After breaking off the father-son relationship with his own father, he changed his surname and took the name Yin Mingfei. Isn't this clearly saying that there are no three hundred taels of silver buried here?"
Speaking of this, Wu Hongkang couldn't help but laugh softly: "After Yin Mingfei changed his surname, he cooperated with the Qu family to set up a company called Zijin Mining."
"According to my understanding, Zijin Mining controls three gold mines. As for how many silver mines and copper mines there are, it is unknown."
Hearing this, Zhang Shenghui's heart moved, and he couldn't help but ask: "In this way, Zhou Andong's goal is this mining company?"
Wu Hongkang shook his head slightly, flicked the ash, and answered unhurriedly.
"Whether it is like this, I am afraid only he knows in his heart. What I said is just a guess. Moreover, Old Zhou is likely to want to rake grass and hit rabbits, and clean up the Yin family and the Qu family together."
"Since you said so, I think this possibility is indeed very great."
Hearing Wu Hongkang's analysis, Zhang Shenghui instantly figured out the key, and his heart was immediately transparent.
"Zhou Andong tossed 163 tricks in Ganzhou, watching him force Tong Huaiyu into a desperate situation. Who would have thought that the Qu family would suddenly kill out at the critical moment and pick the peach? Can Zhou Andong be comfortable?"
"If it were me, Old Zhou, I would never be able to swallow that bad breath." Wu Hongkang smiled: "The Ganzhou storm has been blowing for almost a year."
"The situation there should be settled. It's just that I don't know how many people's fate will change because of this storm, and how many heads will fall..."
Zhang Shenghui finally understood Zhou Andong's purpose, and his mood immediately became comfortable: "The reason why Zhou Andong has been letting the Qu family stir up trouble in Ganzhou is that he should be waiting for the moment when everything is settled."
Wu Hongkang put the cigarette in his hand on the ashtray, then drank two sips of wine, grabbed a piece of pastry and took a bite, and said vaguely.
"From beginning to end, the situation in Ganzhou has been very severe. The degree of complexity is something no one expected, even the center did not expect it to be so serious, otherwise the Fan family would not have stepped down sadly."
"And before the chaos is settled, the center will never tolerate any situation that may lead to further deterioration of the situation or new variables."
"It must be ensured that the whole situation can develop according to the predetermined track and finally be properly resolved. Therefore, Old Zhou is absolutely impossible to take action against the Qu family before the dust settles."
"However, once the dust settles, the time window left for him to act is actually quite limited. Because, if he delays too long and gives the Qu family enough time and opportunity to stand firm and consolidate their power, then it will not be so easy to attack them."
"And more importantly, the situation that has finally recovered stability there, if there are new incidents, will undoubtedly make the center lose face."
"Old Zhou is such a shrewd person, naturally he will not do such a stupid thing. Therefore, precise control of the timing of the shot is crucial. Too early or too late may miss the opportunity or even be counterproductive!"
Wu Hongkang slowly stretched out his hand, picked up the cigarette from the ashtray, held it between his fingers, and took a puff.
"The biggest backer behind the Qu family is actually the Yin family, and Zijin Mining is a gift from the Qu family to the Yin family. Yin Mingfei publicly announced to break off the father-son relationship with Yin Yuexian, and even made bold words that he would have nothing to do with the Yin family from now on."
"It's really ridiculous. Who can't see that this is just a play planned by the Yin family? They pushed Yin Mingfei to the front desk and let him control Zijin Mining. On the surface, it is to draw a line, but in fact, it is a means of avoiding suspicion by covering one's ears and stealing the bell."
"Zhou Andong's usual trick is to use public opinion to create momentum." Zhang Shenghui said with a smile: "His previous donations were tens of millions or hundreds of millions. Even if he donated hundreds of millions again this time, the reaction would probably not be too great, because the public is already used to it."
"However, if he only donated two million, such a big gap will definitely cause public discussion. If the Yin family uses this as an excuse to attack Zhou Andong and the Yugong Group, then public opinion will rise."
"And Zijin Mining is the link between the Yin family and the Qu family. There must be filth between them. Once Zhou Andong puts Zijin Mining on the table, it will definitely be enough for the Yin family and the Qu family to drink a pot."
"Now it depends on whether the Yin family will jump into the pit. If the Yin family doesn't jump, even if Zhou Andong lights the fire of Zijin Mining, the Yin family and the Qu family will spare no effort to extinguish the fire."
"Zhou Andong is wealthy, and those standing behind him are firm reformers. The Yin family, which is opposite to him, is a typical representative of the conservatives, and there are also many supporters behind them, and the financial resources of the Qu family are not much worse than Zhou Andong. In this way, this contest is full of variables and suspense."
"If Zhou Andong cannot burn the fire fiercely at the beginning, even if he successfully lights the fire, the subsequent fire will only be lukewarm and difficult to pose a substantial threat to the Yin family and the Qu family."
"If the Yin family jumps into the pit, they will inevitably take the lead in lighting the fire without hesitation, and use all their strength to use public opinion to spare no effort to spread various negative news, so as to launch a fierce attack and suppression on Zhou Andong and the Yugong Group."
"As long as Zhou Andong can hold his breath, temporarily ignore the ignited fire, and let the fire spread and grow. When the flame burns to the most vigorous time, he will move this dynamite of Zijin Mining and throw it into the fire, and the whole situation will be completely detonated."
"At that time, no matter if it is the Yin family or the Qu family, even if they have the heart to extinguish this raging fire, I am afraid it will be too late and there will be no way to return to heaven."
Wu Hongkang nodded slightly: "Indeed, I am afraid that the Yin family will not be fooled, and then Old Zhou will be in trouble."
"Don't worry, absolutely not!" Zhang Shenghui said decisively: "Since Zhou Andong has planned this game, how could he pin all his hopes on the Yin family jumping into the pit?"
"I dare to say that he must have cards in his hand, but what this card is, it is unknown."
Hearing this, Wu Hongkang couldn't help but be stunned, then fell into deep thought, and after a while, he slowly opened his mouth: "If it is really like what you said, Old Zhou doesn't have only one card in his hand, then his other card, could it be the Qu family?"
"This is not easy to say." Zhang Shenghui frowned and said hesitantly: "Due to the existence of Zijin Mining, no matter whether the Yin family or the Qu family moves, the other family must follow."
"However, Zhou Andong's actions have always been elusive, and his courage is outrageously large. Even if he only has two threes in his hand, he dares to go all-in without hesitation, so it is really hard to say what he will do next."
Wu Hongkang took a deep breath and slowly raised the cigarette he was holding. Just as he was about to put it to his mouth to take a puff, he suddenly found that the cigarette was about to burn to the filter.
Helplessly, he sighed lightly and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray. Immediately after, he picked up the cigarette and lit one.
"This time, on the surface, it looks like a conflict between Zhou Andong and the Yin family because of their respective interests, but in fact, it is a duel between the reformers and the conservatives!"
"And you and I have both truly enjoyed the benefits brought by the reform and eaten the dividends. If Old Zhou needs it, we must take action and cannot stand on the side and watch the fun."
Zhang Shenghui nodded in agreement: "Not to mention whether you and I have eaten the reform dividends, just talking about our private friendship with Zhou Andong, it is impossible to stand by and watch the fun."
"But having said that, with you and me now, we are really not qualified to participate in this matter. I guess we can only watch from the sidelines. Even if we want to help, I am afraid it is very difficult to intervene..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Shenghui couldn't help shaking his head, a look of helplessness on his face.
Wu Hongkang smiled bitterly: "If you can't help, then beat the drums and cheer on the sidelines."
As he said, the two fell into a silence. After a while, Zhang Shenghui spoke: "Zhou Andong has a daughter, so it is reasonable for us to visit and congratulate him."
"It's just that, for this kind of thing, it seems inappropriate for the two of us big men to run over. It is best to bring our wives together."
Wu Hongkang nodded: "I can spare time at any time here, the key depends on when you are convenient."
Zhang Shenghui thought for a while, and then replied: "After I return to the office, I will call my wife first and ask her to come over tomorrow. Let's go to the disaster relief gala together the day after tomorrow, and then go to Zhou Andong's house together the morning after."
"Okay!" Wu Hongkang asked: "Have you thought about what gift to send?"
A smile appeared on Zhang Shenghui's face: "Don't women need to nourish their bodies and urge milk during confinement? Just buy a few catties of eggs and add two pig trotters. What else can I take!"
Wu Hongkang laughed loudly when he heard it: "If the two of us really carried eggs and pig trotters to the door, maybe we would be thrown out by Old Zhou directly."
"Thrown out, that's not necessarily." Zhang Shenghui said while picking up the half bottle of wine in front of him and drinking it.
"Just based on Zhou Andong's character of liking to take small advantages, no matter what we send him, he will definitely accept it without hesitation."
"However, I am afraid we won't even be able to drink a sip of water in his house, let alone think about having a meal there."
The two drank in the bar until after ten o'clock in the evening, and finally decided what gift to buy for Zhou Andong's daughter, and then left with satisfaction. ===== CHAPTER 2245 =====
