Chapter 347: The Dark and the Bright
In fact, Zhang Yunqi had been waiting for this call from Gao Shan for a long time.

Because he was very clear that Gao Shan couldn't sit still in the current situation, but he was powerless because his opponent, the Municipal State-owned Investment Corporation, was not using any conspiracy or tricks, but was actually fighting hard and wanted to take him, Gao Shan, to court.

The winner of this lawsuit is still unknown, but it seems unimportant at the moment, because the outcome of the lawsuit is bound to be a long way off. Gao Shan obviously can't wait any longer. The biggest reason, of course, is the huge pressure on the capital chain.

This was Zhang Yunqi's speculation. Under such circumstances, what else could Gao Shan do to find him?

After Zhang Yunqi hung up the phone, he chatted with Li Jilin about work at Liansheng headquarters. Seeing that it was getting late, he said to him, "Gao Shan is looking for me, I'll go over there."

Li Jilin nodded and agreed.

He came here today mainly to talk to Zhang Yunqi about the Spring Festival living security plan for more than 700 workers at the Longjingyuan Cannery, as well as the purchase of daily necessities to support the railway station and bus station. But for some reason, when he talked about these things with Zhang Yunqi, he kept thinking of some things about his daughter Yufei.

Li Jilin watched Zhang Yunqi get up and prepare to go out, and couldn't help but said, "Do you have time on the day of the Little New Year? Come to my house for dinner then?"

Zhang Yunqi was a little surprised and smiled: "You are so busy, why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal?"

Li Jilin said: "Yufei..."

Zhang Yunqi looked at Li Jilin: "What happened to Yufei?"

Li Jilin hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "After the Spring Festival, she plans to transfer to the Affiliated High School of the Normal University to study in her senior year."

Zhang Yunqi was stunned.

Li Jilin said nothing more, turned around and left the office.

The office was quiet. Zhang Yunqi looked at the snow falling outside the window. He didn't know how much time had passed before he got up and left Liansheng headquarters and drove straight to the headquarters of Phoenix Real Estate Group.

This was Zhang Yunqi's second visit to the Phoenix headquarters.

He still remembers the first time he came here, or rather, he still remembers Gao Shan. In a sense, Gao Shan is his rival. He has offended many people over the years, but he didn't care about most of them. Gao Shan is one of the few people who left a deep impression on him and kept it in his heart.

Under the guidance of the staff, Zhang Yunqi came to the door of the chairman's office of Huangcheng Group. Gao Shan was sitting in the office chair reading a book, and it turned out to be "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Zhang Yunqi was a little curious, but when Gao Shan saw him, a smile broke out on his angular face and he took the initiative to come forward and stretch out his big hand.

Zhang Yunqi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gao Shan.

The two of them walked in together, served tea, and sat down on the sofa.

Gao Shan got straight to the point and said, "Mr. Zhang, I asked you to come here this time. I told you the general meaning on the phone. I didn't expect you to be so enthusiastic about the 133 acres of land in Hongxing."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "In fact, you have already thought of it, you just don't think I have the ability to stop you from taking the land."

Gao Shan said, "The current situation is enough to prove your ability. Your understanding of the reform of state-owned enterprises is indeed profound enough. But there is one thing I am very curious about. A few months ago, I invited you to jointly develop the Longjingyuan project, but you refused. You also clearly told me that you have no interest in commercial real estate. I can understand this, people with different ideals cannot work together, but why do you want to interfere in the affairs of Red Star now?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "Boss Gao asked me to come here today. You can't be here to talk about these meaningless things, right?"

"I want to say that everyone should take a step back and we can discuss everything." Gao Shan's expression was calm, and no one knew what he was thinking. In fact, for someone as strong as him to say such a tactful statement of weakness was already quite surprising. Perhaps it was because the situation was stronger than the person, and the current situation before him had put him in a dilemma.

Zhang Yun took a sip of tea and said, "Boss Gao, it's not my turn to point fingers at you about the affairs of Red Star and Senhai. The parties with the direct interests are your Phoenix Real Estate and the Municipal State Investment. However, since you invited me here today, I will also tell you what I think. The bankruptcy and reorganization of Red Star Electronics Factory has developed to this point. In fact, it is no longer a personal conflict of interest, but a dispute over the future economic driving model of Jiangchuan City and the idea of ​​property rights reform."

Zhang Yunqi said: "There is one thing you already know. Although the city's fiscal revenue and expenditure have been inverted for a long time, most of the state-owned enterprises facing restructuring have defaulted on large bank loans and are very dependent on the income from land transfer for commercial development. However, the establishment of Jiangchuan City State Investment a few months ago has released a very clear signal, that is, the city's complete denial of this model, and it cannot exchange the land of the restructured enterprises for restructuring funds when promoting the restructuring and reorganization of state-owned enterprises. This is actually not something you and I can control. It is impossible for the city's state investment to withdraw. Not only will it not withdraw, it will be impossible for all state-owned enterprises in Jiangchuan City to avoid the city's state investment and bidding and auction, and start real estate development from industrial land in the restructuring and reorganization. Mr. Gao, if you don't want to get involved in endless litigation and stop the loss as soon as possible, then my advice to you now is to terminate the land transfer agreement and let Senhai Electric Group return the land transfer fee and interest."

The smile on Gao Shan's face faded. He obviously couldn't accept what Zhang Yunqi said: "Do you think this is possible?"

"Then do you have any other choice?"

"You underestimate me." "I respect Mr. Gao, but the situation is stronger than the person."

"Is this a case of the snipe and the clam fighting, while the fisherman benefits?"

"Do you think that you and Zhao Jianqiang are the snipe and the clam, and I, Zhang Yunqi, am the fisherman?"

"What else?" Gao Shan stood up, with his hands behind his back, looking at the snow outside the window, and said, "If it weren't for your advice, raising the cost of dealing with redundant staff, forcing the city to advance funds, and fighting for the personnel rights of Sennheiser Electric Group, Zhao Jianqiang of the Municipal State Investment and Wu Rong of Sennheiser Electric openly broke the contract and stabbed Phoenix Real Estate in the back, how could things have come to this? Zhao Jianqiang is short-sighted. Can he win the lawsuit against me? What a joke! The result will only be one, both sides will suffer! By then, the one who will benefit will probably be you, Mr. Zhang Yunqi, the manipulator behind the scenes."

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "And then?"

Gao Shan said, "I want to correct you. You don't have to bring up the city to pressure me. The current result was directly promoted by you, not the city, so it cannot represent the city's final will. Most of your personal ideas are mixed in the bankruptcy and reorganization of Red Star Electronics! In addition, by establishing Jiangchuan City Guotou, a platform state-owned company, to control the merger and reorganization of the city's state-owned enterprises, it is called to prevent the loss of state-owned assets in advantageous industries. In fact, it is to kill all real estate companies in the city! I know very well that this is also your work. Genius, Mr. Zhang, you are really a genius in operating state-owned assets, but we are all businessmen, why are we so anxious to fight each other?"

"It seems that Mr. Gao hates me to the core."

"I want to know what you want by doing this?" Gao Shan's eyes became sharp. He stared at Zhang Yunqi and said word by word, "Senhai Electric Group sued me, dragged down Phoenix City through litigation, and then your Liansheng system entered the game and used the Municipal State-owned Investment to swallow up Red Star Electronics through bidding? Your appetite is too big."

Hearing this, Zhang Yunqi suddenly felt a little bored.

Gao Shan's demeanor and tone were a bit timid, but what he said was true. The restructuring of Red Star Electronics and the establishment of the Municipal State Investment Corporation to control municipal state-owned enterprises were all due to him. However, Liu Dongsheng, Wu Rong, Gao Shan, and the 500 million ordinary people in Jiangchuan City did not understand his motives for doing these things.

Again, are they wrong?
That's right.

They only see the facts of human nature as it should be.

So what is his motivation for doing this?

In fact, almost three years have passed since the day he returned to this era, but this problem has always bothered him.

During these three years, he relied on God's gift to earn a huge fortune, but he kept reminding himself that life requires a little pain, a little pain of compassion. This is a very rare feeling that people are often despised as "Saints" in later generations, because only this feeling of pain can prove that everything he has now is not a daydream, but living in a real and cruel world.

In this world, in addition to the immediate survival, in addition to poetry and the distant places, there is also lasting and deep suffering, and there are many, many people who, like him before, live not to enjoy, but to endure!
Of course, turning the tide, supporting a collapsing building, and saving the people from disasters are not what an ordinary person like Zhang Yunqi can do. What he can do is to make money honestly, pay taxes honestly, and live a stable life.

But apart from making money, if he has the opportunity to do something beneficial to this society, this country, and this nation, then he should do it. Therefore, he adopted collective ownership and established the Yunxi Village Crop Professional Planting Cooperative, allowing all the folks to become shareholders and enjoy dividends; he integrated the city's canning companies and built the Longjingyuan Agricultural Industrial Park, allowing tens of thousands of farmers in Longwan Town to obtain underwriting contracts and escape poverty; he tried every means to persuade Yang Jiarong to adopt his suggestion to establish a shell state-owned company, control the city's state-owned enterprises, completely strangle the real estate developers, and promote the development of Jiangchuan's economy by developing various professional markets and developing entities.

These are the things he can do and has done at the moment. It cannot be said that he has gained much benefit for the people, but at least he has a clear conscience. He does not want to say much, and does not care about other people's opinions.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunqi picked up the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the table and turned to the 92nd chapter, "Zhao Zilong killed five generals, Zhuge Liang captured three cities with wisdom." The opening chapter is: "Ma Zun was about to raise his troops when a man suddenly came in and said, 'The governor has fallen into Zhuge Liang's trap!' Everyone looked at him and found that he was from Ji, Tianshui. His surname was Jiang, his name was Wei, and his courtesy name was Boyue."

Zhang Yunqi said to Gao Shan who was staring at him, "Mr. Gao, you must read this book often, right?"

Gao Shan had a blank expression on his face: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "There is a character I like very much in the Three Kingdoms, Jiang Wei. This person is extremely talented, but also very ruthless. He does things by any means necessary, never doubts himself, and is a tragic idealist. Although the Wei Kingdom was very powerful at that time, Zhong Hui's army was approaching, Deng Ai attacked the capital of Shu Kingdom, and the helpless Adou surrendered, the country was already in a state of ruin, but Jiang Wei was still determined to restore the country. In the secret memorial to Liu Chan, he wrote: I hope Your Majesty will endure the humiliation for a few days. I want to restore the country from danger to safety, and the sun and moon to brightness again."

Zhang Yunqi raised his eyes to look at Gao Shan: "Mr. Gao, I just saw you reading this book. I have a question for you. How persistent must a person like Jiang Wei be to fight for a vague dream of restoring his country for such a long time, in such a narrow gap, and in a situation that even the wise Zhuge Liang could not reverse?"

"You want to be like him?"

"No, I don't deserve it! But I learned a lesson from him."

"What's the point?"

"No one in this world can truly understand you, so what you do does not require anyone's understanding." Zhang Yunqi closed the book in his hand, handed it back to Gao Shan with a smile, then strode out of the office with his hands in his pockets.

However, his voice from the doorway lingered in Gao Shan's ears for a long time: "If you think that I participated in the restructuring of Red Star Electronics in order to compete with you for that piece of land, then you can think so. Whatever you want, I will accompany you to the end."
