Chapter 550 - Things are serious
It was Qian Hongda.
"Young Master Ji, I've heard about Little Bin's performance in the jail. A child doesn't know anything, so I'll apologize on his behalf." After the call connected, Qian Hongda said while laughing.
The corners of Ji Feng's eyes twitched. He is still a young child and doesn't know anything at all... Qian Bin is a child?
Then he was younger than Qian Bin, so what did it matter? Little kid?
Ji Feng helplessly shook his head and said, "Secretary Qian, there's no need to be polite. Qian Bin's performance should be judged by the police. It has nothing to do with me."
He did not have the effort to grind his teeth with Qian Hongda. This old fox, Qian Hongda, always gave him the feeling of a cunning fox, which he did not like.
"Hehe …"
Qian Hongda smiled and said, "Young Master Ji, I don't know when you'll have time, but please give me some face and come out."
"When?" Ji Feng directly asked.
"If you have time, you can always do it!" Qian Hongda smiled and said, "Of course, it's better now."
"You're in Jiang Prefecture?" Ji Feng frowned as he asked.
"Just arrived in the afternoon." Qian Hongda said.
Ji Feng frowned slightly, "Tell me the address, I'll go over right now!"
Obviously, Qian Hongda couldn't sit still any longer. Otherwise, he would never have come to Jiang Prefecture in person. After all, Qian Hongda represented the martial arts family, so he could not avoid suspicion.
Qian Hongda gave him an address.
"I'll be there immediately. Please wait a moment, Secretary Qian!" After Ji Feng finished speaking, he hung up the phone, then turned to Tong Lei and said: "Lei Lei, I'm going out for a while, do you want to come with me?"
"Is it okay if I go?" Tong Lei asked.
"What's wrong with that? It's not like we're going to do something shameful. What's wrong with that?" Ji Feng smiled.
"Then I'll change!" Tong Lei immediately smiled sweetly and quickly went upstairs.
Ji Feng couldn't help but laugh.
In reality, it wasn't appropriate to bring Tong Lei to see Qian Hongda. After all, since Qian Hongda had personally come to Jiang Prefecture, it was obviously to discuss the Brilliant Group. This sort of thing, it was better if as few people as possible knew about it.
But now, Xiao Yuxuan still hasn't returned from the company. If he took the White Spider with him and left, only Tong Lei and Han Zhen would be home. They would inevitably feel a little lonely.
Ji Feng felt that he had been busy enough in the past, and now that he was in Jiang Prefecture, he should spend more time with them. Ji Feng felt that he should be busy enough in the past, but now he was in Jiang Prefecture, he should spend more time with them.
Soon, Tong Lei had changed into a new set of clothes. Ji Feng, Han Zhen, and the White Spider followed behind her. The four of them rushed to the place Qian Hongda mentioned.
… ….
"Secretary Qian, I've kept you waiting!" In the hotel room where Qian Hongda stayed, Ji Feng saw the former. At this moment, Qian Hongda was still wearing a suit and leather shoes.
Evidently, he had been waiting for Ji Feng.
"I didn't wait too long. I took the opportunity to rest for a while." Qian Hongda's smile was very warm, and when he saw Tong Lei and the White Spider following him, he didn't show any emotions.
"White spider, wait outside with Han Zhen. Don't let anyone disturb us!" Ji Feng turned around and said to the spiders and Han Zhen.
"Yes sir!"
The two girls replied.
Qian Hongda's hotel was divided into an inner and outer suite. Ji Feng and Tong Lei were in the inner room talking to Qian Hongda.
"Young Master Ji, it's not too early. I'll have to trouble you to make a trip. I won't beat around the bush, so let's cut to the chase!" After they sat down, Qian Hongda took up the kettle on the tea table and poured a cup of tea for Ji Feng and Tong Lei. Then he said, "That kid, Xiao Bin, doesn't know anything and is somewhat arrogant. He can't tell the situation clearly. Young Master Ji, please don't lower yourself to him."
Ji Feng smiled but didn't say anything.
This sort of courtesy was unnecessary. Qian Bin was the type of person that Qian Hongda was, he believed that he knew it better than anyone else.
Furthermore, when Qian Bin met with him in the prison, he was somewhat crafty. That was not necessarily his intention. Ji Feng was not surprised at all when he said that this was what Qian Hongda had instigated him to do.
Although Qian Hongda had personally handed over the money to him, he still had chips in his hand. It was about the close relationship between Splendid Group and the j.a.panese companies. And the timing of when the chips would be thrown out and how they should be thrown out, these details would sometimes be very important.
If Qian Bin threw out all of his chips the moment he started, then it would be unknown just how many benefits he would be able to gain by then.
Both of them were being a bit careful, so perhaps they could have a better conversation.
Therefore, Ji Feng guessed that this method must have come from Qian Hongda's idea.
Of course, since Qian Bin was in the jail, Ji Feng was not surprised that Qian Hongda knew about his behavior. Although Qian Hongda was the secretary of Yuezhou's Munic.i.p.al Committee, it was impossible that he was completely unrelated to Jiang Prefecture.
China was like this. As long as a person had a huge network, there was nothing that they couldn't accomplish. This was a society that owed favors!
"Young Master Ji, Little Bin felt embarra.s.sed to see you again, so he told me everything he knew. There was no other way but to pity the parents of the world. As his father, I had no choice but to personally make this trip." Qian Hongda laughed and said, "I wonder if Young Master Ji is interested in listening to this?"
"Of course!" Ji Feng smiled.
He had come here to listen to Qian Hongda talk about the Brilliant Group, so how could he not listen?
That was why Ji Feng felt that Qian Hongda was a cunning man. Things that were originally simple had to be done in a complicated manner. And in this complicated process, he had to carry out some tasks …
Ji Feng was still not used to this kind of communication method, but he remained calm and collected.
"To be honest, I only did a simple investigation into this matter. However, the result that I obtained surprised me a bit." Qian Hongda said.
Ji Feng's brows twitched as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"After Brilliant Group changed its name, most of its shares were controlled by an offsh.o.r.e company. Afterwards, this offsh.o.r.e company transferred their shares to the current chairman. Does Young Master Ji know about this? " Qian Hongda asked.
"I've heard of that before." Ji Feng nodded.
When the father and daughter duo had left, Rongpeng Group had been taken over by an offsh.o.r.e company. However, Ji Feng knew that this was only temporary as the a.s.sets of Rongpeng Group were too huge.
Therefore, taking over Rongpeng Group from the offsh.o.r.e company was just a transition. It was said that after a period of time, Rongpeng Group's shares had been transferred to the current chairman, and their names had also changed to Brilliant Group.
"Actually, when we first transferred the shares, there seemed to be a secret agreement. Moreover, the shares of Rongpeng Corporation weren't completely transferred over. A portion of the shares still remained in the hands of the offsh.o.r.e companies." Qian Hongda said, "Of course, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is still that secret agreement."
"What agreement?" Ji Feng asked in a low voice.
"Of course, I don't know the specifics of the agreement. However, if Young Master Ji is interested, you should keep an eye on the development of the Brilliant Group during this period of time." Qian Hongda pointed behind him. "The cooperation between Splendid Group and that side has deepened. It has already involved the exchange of precious metals and high technology …"
Ji Feng suddenly shivered. The one Qian Hongda was referring to in the east was, without a doubt, j.a.pan.
"Secretary Qian, your words are too vague and I don't quite understand them. You should know that I haven't even graduated from university yet, so I'm not as knowledgeable as you are …" Ji Feng said.
Qian Hongda must have heard more news. Given how vague his words were, Ji Feng naturally would not be satisfied with it.
"Once again, Glorious Group is negotiating with the j.a.panese companies to exchange their shares for technology, selling a portion of their shares to the j.a.panese companies in exchange for a certain technology." Qian Hongda said in a low voice, "This may seem normal, but if we combine it with what we said before, it doesn't seem normal."
"What do you mean?" Ji Feng asked immediately.
"Splendid has a portion of the shares, which is in the hands of the offsh.o.r.e company." Qian Hongda said, "If Splendid Group sells a portion of the shares, then this large company might no longer belong to us, Hua Xia!"
Swish!
A light flashed in Ji Feng's eyes, "Secretary Qian, do you have any evidence for what you said?"
Ji Feng's face turned serious. If what Qian Hongda said was true, then this matter would be very serious.
With tens of billions of dollars in a.s.sets, such a glorious corporation could become someone else's in the blink of an eye and could no longer belong to Huaxia. Wasn't this nonsense?!
Losing tens of billions, this was something that could still be borne by a large country.
However, according to Ji Feng's understanding, the most important thing for Splendid Group was not money, nor was it its vast a.s.sets. Instead, it was a subsidiary under Splendid Group, as well as its ownership of the contract!
Splendid Group involved many strategic industries, such as precious metals, mineral resources, advanced technology, and even military science and technology …
For example, the agreement between the Brilliant Group and a certain place could allow them to develop a certain mine here. For example, the agreement between the Brilliant Group and a certain place could allow them to develop a certain mine here.
But what if Splendid Group no longer belonged to Huaxia?
It doesn't matter who the Chinese side is going to sell the minerals they mine to.
Although China is gradually becoming stronger, it is not at a point where you can ignore the rules. Moreover, who knows how many countries around China are eyeing China covetously, waiting for you to make a mistake!
Moreover, this was only a simple example. The Glorious Group had the best technology, as well as the military technology!
