Chapter 771: Just Consider It Buying an Amulet!
"County Magistrate Tang, let's speak plainly. If you can ensure the City Square project is transferred to the Zhao Clan, never mind five million—even ten million is possible."
Zhao Hui sat up straight, his body leaning slightly forward.
He was determined to win the City Square project.
Tang Ye had done some research on Zhao Hui.
He was the third son of the Zhao family, with an older brother and sister above him.
Therefore.
It was very difficult for him to inherit the Zhao Group; he had to prove his own ability.
Although the City Square was an unfinished project, once it was secured, its value would be different.
The current economic development momentum in Dayu County was very good.
"As a government department, we must act according to procedures and regulations. Who the City Square project is handed to must be decided based on requirements, following collective deliberation by the evaluation committee.
However, you should know that there is a human element everywhere. If you can sponsor five million, it is equivalent to giving everyone a good impression."
Some things do not need to be said too clearly.
Tang Ye believed Zhao Hui could understand his meaning.
Zhao Hui gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "County Magistrate Tang, I hope you can give me a definite answer. Otherwise, it will be difficult for me to answer to the board of directors."
Tang Ye chuckled, "Let's not mention the five million for now. Do you know that a major incident recently occurred in Dayu County?"
Zhao Hui nodded vigorously, "I know! When you and County Magistrate Jiang were conducting research late at night, you were attacked by a group of people. The injury on your arm was left from that time, right?"
Tang Ye reminded him, "You should know how the outside world evaluates this matter, right? There is a theory that it was the Zhao Group that hired the attackers."
Zhao Hui had clearly heard this rumor and hurriedly defended himself, "County Magistrate Tang, this is truly a grievance! Our Zhao Clan has always emphasized law-abiding conduct; how could we do such a mindless thing?"
Tang Ye sighed and gave a bitter smile, "I have spoken with County Magistrate Jiang privately. He feels that you are the ones obstructing things, trying to threaten him not to associate too closely with the Hongling Group."
Zhao Hui slapped the coffee table in anger, "This deduction is simply absurd."
Tang Ye sighed, "Actually, I believe you. However, now that the culprit cannot be caught, your suspicion is the greatest. If nothing goes wrong, the County Public Security Bureau will soon come to the Zhao Group to make arrests."
At this moment, Zhao Hui's face turned ashen, and his whole body trembled.
He knew that when government departments handle cases, sometimes they don't care whether there is evidence or not.
Tang Ye sighed and said, "Sponsorship is an entrepreneur's responsibility. You were willing to take the initiative to donate 500,000 just now; I can see that you are a conscientious entrepreneur. As for how much to sponsor, the government certainly won't force it; it depends on your own wishes."
Zhao Hui was undergoing a fierce internal struggle.
Tang Ye was hinting at him.
This kind of hint was not only mixed with temptation but also combined with a threat.
"County Magistrate Tang, I need to apply to the board of directors; five million is not a small amount."
"Hmm, I will consult with other enterprises later," Tang Ye said indifferently.
"Please give me some time. After there is feedback from the board, you can then contact other enterprises."
Tang Ye turned his wrist to check the time, "Before three o'clock this afternoon, I need a definite answer."
"Understood, I will file the application with headquarters after I go back."
Tang Ye joked, "Manager Zhao, I certainly don't mean to force you."
Zhao Hui hurriedly said, "Whether to donate or not is certainly voluntary. If we can spend money to help Dayu County renovate its water conservancy infrastructure, this is also an honor for us entrepreneurs."
Tang Ye nodded vigorously, "Manager Zhao has high awareness and is a responsible entrepreneur."
Zhao Hui returned to his office and dialed his father Zhao Guosheng's phone number.
"Dad, I just went to the County Party Committee Compound and met the new Executive Deputy County Magistrate. He put forward a request, wanting us to sponsor the County Government five million."
Zhao Guosheng pondered for a moment, "I have chatted with Ou Xiye several times. This Tang Ye has earned his deep trust and is a rare talent. Five million is not too much."
Zhao Hui breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I will call Tang Ye later to express our stance that we are willing to pay this five million. He indicated that he would fully support us in participating in the bidding for the City Square!"
Zhao Guosheng said helplessly, "Let's do it that way. Tell me honestly, was Jiang Anbang attacked by people you arranged?"
Zhao Hui said in a serious tone, "Dad, how could I do such a stupid thing?"
Zhao Guosheng nodded slightly, "I believe you aren't that stupid. However, who exactly did this is really unclear."
Zhao Hui said, "I am also arranging for people to investigate this matter. Now the Dayu police are watching us."
Zhao Guosheng said, "If there's really no other way, just hand over one person so they can close the case!"
Zhao Hui said gloomily, "We didn't do this, so why should we accept the blame?"
Zhao Guosheng advised, "Sometimes you don't need a result; you need a way out."
Zhao Hui sighed, "I understand, I will handle this matter well."
Subsequently, Zhao Hui arranged for his Secretary to come in and instructed them to quickly process the five-million sponsorship payment.
An hour later, the funds were finalized.
Zhao Hui dialed Tang Ye's phone number.
"County Magistrate Tang, this is Zhao Hui."
"Manager Zhao, is there something?"
"I have had the five-million donation funds approved."
"Really?" Tang Ye's eyes lit up, "I will immediately report this to my superiors. We will discuss the details of the donation ceremony later. Please rest assured, we will definitely give the Zhao Group the maximum exposure!"
Just as he was about to hang up the phone.
The office door was suddenly pushed open.
Zhao Hui looked in surprise at the Police who had suddenly broken in.
"Who are you people?"
Xing Zhijun walked at the very front, "Boss Zhao, I suspect you are involved in a vicious assault case; please come with us."
Tang Ye sensed something was wrong over the phone and hurriedly asked, "President Zhao, what happened?"
Zhao Hui sighed helplessly, "The Dayu police have come to my company to make an arrest. County Magistrate Tang, is this how you treat enterprises? It is disheartening!"
Tang Ye said, "This is definitely a misunderstanding; let them take the phone."
Zhao Hui handed the mobile phone to Xing Zhijun.
"It's quite a coincidence; I am currently on the phone with County Magistrate Tang. He asks you to take the call."
Xing Zhijun was slightly taken aback and took the phone.
"County Magistrate Tang, I am Xing Zhijun."
"Comrade Zhijun, the person in charge of the Zhao Group cannot be arrested!
Please take your men and leave immediately!
As for the Anbang County Magistrate, I will explain it clearly to him!"
"Since you have said so, I will not make the arrest for now."
Xing Zhijun looked at Zhao Hui with disappointment, then waved his hand and led his men away.
Zhao Hui sat in his chair, a bitter smile appearing at the corners of his mouth.
In the process of the Zhao Group's expansion, it was inevitable that they had engaged in bullying the market and dominating trades.
Therefore, as long as they were investigated, problems could always be found.
Tang Ye persuading Xing Zhijun to withdraw gave him a great deal of comfort.
At least the five million hadn't been thrown into the water; it could be considered as having bought an Amulet.
At this moment, Zhao Hui suddenly felt that although he had money, in the face of power, he was still like an ant, able to be manipulated anytime and anywhere!
At this moment, a firm idea suddenly sprouted in his mind!
He must groom his son to enter politics!
