half water half salt

Chapter 52 Struggling to Survive
Li Ye's defeat was even beyond Gao Zhan's expectations. He had just returned to EEDS when he received the news that Li Ye had been arrested. He was shocked!

Public opinion is like a drop of water dripping from a frying pan, and it explodes all of a sudden.

Seven Star Electronics in Nanjing has not fully recovered its credibility since the last crisis. In addition to the arrest of Li Ye this time, the empty shell operation of Seven Star Company and other true and false news, it has completely lost the trust of the public. Suppliers, Contractors are rushing for money, and competitors are taking the opportunity to make a fuss.For a while, Seven Star Electronics became the target of public criticism and was on the verge of collapse.

Inner Mongolia is also in dire straits. Li Ye was arrested for being involved in a corruption case involving the railway system. It was given to Li Ye, which caused dissatisfaction and was reported.All of Li Ye's transportation plans were suspended pending further investigation. The coal he reserved had already been paid for, and there was no place to store the coal.If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, the coal mine will deal with it by itself, and Li Ye has to pay liquidated damages and compensate for the loss.

The company's partner came to Gao Zhan, and Gao Zhan said:

"Now mine is running at full capacity, and I can't digest that much for a while!"

Those partners are all businessmen from Jiangsu, and they have some friendship with Gao Zhan, so I beg you again and again.The final result was that Gao Zhan took the coal that Li Ye had booked at a high price at a low price.

With the efforts of him and Cheng Jia, Gao Zhan's assembly station has basically been on the right track. With Li Ye's reserved coal and the original plan assigned to him, Gao Zhan not only made up for the loss of the previous period, but also greatly improved Out of breath.

When Li Chengdong received the news of Li Ye's arrest, he came to NMG overnight. Most of his funds were used for Li Ye's investment in Inner Mongolia, and he hoped to withdraw part of it from here.However, now the coal washing plant has not been put into operation and is not profitable, and all transportation has been suspended. Even the coal mine that he and Li Ye were optimistic about at the beginning has problems.

The coal mine is high-quality coal, and there is no problem with the reserves. Gao Zhan’s procedures are all neat and tidy. The only thing is that the coal mine is across the riverbed. The river usually has almost no water in the dry season, but there is water in the rainy season.Development involves geological surveys and environmental assessments, which are very complicated, and it is impossible to achieve results in the short term, and the funds invested will be spent there for a long time.

Li Chengdong knew that he had fallen into Gao Zhan's trap.But at the beginning, he also wanted to copy Gao Zhan's bottom line, stealing chickens would not lose money.

He became furious and swept everything on Li Ye's desk to the ground.

The advance payment for those coal mines has already been paid, but the sales proceeds cannot be obtained, and the proceeds are immediately divided among many partners.Everyone has long been dissatisfied with Li Ye's management style.

When they came to Inner Mongolia, their foothold was not stable, Li Ye aggressively suppressed Gao Zhan, invested quickly, but did not see profits, he was arrested again, coupled with Gao Zhan's fanning the flames, basically the shareholders are now in a mess, and they can't wait Immediate bankruptcy and dissolution.

Li Chengdong is almost at the end of his rope. His first priority is to save his son, but he has already violated the criminal law, and there is no hope of recovery. The lawyer suggested that he actively cooperate with the investigation of the procuratorate and strive for leniency. Maybe the punishment will be lighter.

Li Chengdong doesn't want to pay attention to those debt collectors in Nanjing. His only hope is the coal washing plant and coal mine in Inner Mongolia that have not yet been put into operation. If they are revitalized, he still has a glimmer of life.

He accidentally saw Li Ye's photo in Li Ye's drawer, and immediately had mixed feelings.He knew that Cheng Jia and Gao Zhan were married and had children. With Gao Zhan's personality, he must be waiting to swallow up his company now.

Cheng Jia—will she help herself?

Li Chengdong got Cheng Jia's phone number and asked her to meet.

Cheng Jia also just learned about Li Ye a few days ago. She was anxious and didn't want to ask Gao Zhan too much, so she was a little at a loss.

Cheng Jia walked into Gao Zhan's office, and Gao Zhan was looking at the computer.Seeing her come in, his eyes followed her.

Gao Zhan has been waiting for Cheng Jia to ask her about Li Ye, but she has been very calm.

"Husband, Li Chengdong called me just now and asked me to meet!"

Gao Zhan was expressionless, and then sneered.

"I want to open a gap from you! What can you do? What can I do for you?"

"I don't know, I'll see him in a while! After all, I'm an elder, so I can't refuse!"

"Cheng Jia, your relationship with them should come to an end!"

"I know!" Cheng Jia turned around to leave, but turned around again.

"Gao Zhan, does the matter of Li Ye have anything to do with you?"

"related!"

Cheng Jia stood still, she immediately felt very sad, was it because of herself again?She knew it since Li Chengdong called her.

"Why do you have to kill him all? You drive him away as soon as you want, why send him to prison?"

Gao Zhan stood up and approached Cheng Jia.

"What I do is normal business competition. He respects me a foot, and I give him a foot! As for his being investigated, it has nothing to do with me! How would I know who he bribed?

Cheng Jia, some things are beyond my control.On the surface, I dealt with him.But have you ever thought about it, he is too careless!
Their father and son have problems in their business philosophy, they like to be opportunistic, they will never give up until they achieve their goals, and they will use unscrupulous means.

Originally, everyone's shipping plan was very balanced, and everyone was safe and sound, but he suddenly stepped in without any scruples. Who knows whose cheese he touched all of a sudden, and was cleaned up?
I just released the news that I was short of funds and sold my assets. They immediately came over and lowered the price again and again, adding insult to injury!

Li Ye is strong, domineering and has no rules, and offends people everywhere. Now that the wall is overthrown by everyone, it is his own fault.To be honest, I didn't expect it to be so smooth!

The road is his own! "

Cheng Jia listened to what Gao Zhan said, but couldn't say anything.

Gao Zhan went on to say: "He digs people around and offends people everywhere! What did I do? I just sold a coal mine and found a few people to cooperate with. I just rebuilt and expanded it to operate normally, and he couldn't stand it anymore!
Not me at all!
I didn't want to get to know him at first, he forced me to do everything, I didn't ask him to do it, it was his own choice!I sold it?Did I instigate him to bribe?Did I make him lose the trust of his partners?not me!
When did Li Chengdong put you in his eyes? You were in the hospital like crazy. Did he say a word of concern?If I date you now, I'll be ashamed of him!Cheng Jia, this is a shopping mall, Li Ye has been eyeing me to die, it's either his death or mine, we can't reconcile!I told you in advance, I will not show mercy!I'm waiting for this pair of jumping clowns to get out of here completely!
Always someone else's stuff is good!Shameless! "

Gao Zhan looked disdainful.

Cheng Jia had no words to refute, she said lightly:

"Then I'll go first!"

Gao Zhan looked at Cheng Jia's back, and suddenly all the anger and joy disappeared. He had prepared these words for a long time, but now he was not happy at all.

He sat down.

Li Chengdong was waiting for Cheng Jia in the office early.

After they greeted each other, Cheng Jia said, "Uncle, how are you and Auntie doing?"

"It's all good, all is good! You haven't been back since you came to Inner Mongolia. Is your mother... Auntie still thinking about your illness?"

"Thank you, auntie, for your concern. I have recovered!"

Li Chengdong nodded with a smile.

"I heard you gave birth to a son?"

"Yes, my son can already go!"

"We are unlucky!" Li Chengdong sighed.

Cheng Jia didn't speak.

Li Chengdong looked at Cheng Jia, and said, "I'm looking for you today, I guess you can also imagine that it's for Li Ye's business!"

Cheng Jia let out a long breath, and said lightly: "I heard about it! But I don't care much about business matters, I don't understand much!"

"Gao Zhan sold us a coal mine some time ago! There was a little misunderstanding on the coordinates, of course! It was our mistake! As a result, part of the funds were suppressed, plus Li Ye, so now we have encountered some difficulties. Li I can't control Ye's bribery anymore! But I thought, when he comes out, he won't have nothing, so I came to Inner Mongolia. I want you to ask Gao Zhan, can our purchase contract be cancelled?"

"Uncle, I didn't know you were buyers. I think the contract was signed by another company!"

Li Chengdong's eyes were evasive, and he smiled and said, "Affiliated companies!"

Cheng Jia went on to say: "I read the agreement. Although the condition of the coal mine is relatively poor among the three packaged coal mines, the quality of the coal is also very good, and the final transaction price is considered fair, not inflated!"

“We were underprepared! We are short on funds now!”

"Uncle, please forgive me for not being able to help you! You also know that my status among you is very embarrassing. I really can't say anything, and I never participate in these things. Men do business, and women are taboo! Tell Gao Zhan directly!"

Li Chengdong's expression changed.

"Cheng Jia, everything started because of you. You and Li Ye have been husband and wife after all. Don't you show me any affection? No matter what happened to you two, our family did not treat you badly!"

"Uncle, when Li Ye and I divorced, everything should have ended. You said it was because of me. Did I let you come to Inner Mongolia? Who forced you to buy Gao Zhan's coal mine?"

"Cheng Jia, Li Ye came here because he couldn't let you go, and I didn't want to! But I can't help it! Your aunt is crying every day now, and Li Ye is only in her thirties, and her life has just begun. Prison doesn't count, don't you even give him a way out? Do you have the heart?
He is sorry for you!But he didn't mean to, he was spoiled by us!Cheng Jia, only Gao Zhan will listen to what you say, let us go!The painstaking efforts of several generations of our family, I am already at this age, don't let me watch my son go to jail and end up on the street!OK? "

Cheng Jia was very sad.

"Uncle, you overestimate me, Gao Zhan may not listen to me! What do you want me to do?"

"Don't add to the flames anymore, I will return the coal mine to him, and I will properly compensate him for his losses! And if he wants, he can take away my coal washing plant! I will also give him the shares in the logistics park, and we will completely withdraw from Inner Mongolia. I just hope that the foundation of Seven Stars will not be disturbed."

Cheng Jia stood up: "I know Uncle, take care! Say hello to Auntie for me!"

Li Chengdong opened his mouth, and Cheng Jia continued: "I'm just a woman, I may not be able to control many things, I will handle it according to my own will! What happened to Li Ye didn't cause any bad effects, I believe he will come out soon Yes! His leg was bitten by a dog some time ago, you should pay attention to it, don’t get infected, I wonder if it’s healed?”

Then Cheng Jia left.

After leaving the office building, Cheng Jia suddenly felt very tired.She looked at the pedestrians on the road and shed tears unknowingly.

Gao Zhan's words, Li Ye's words, and Li Chengdong's words echoed in her ears in turn.

When will it end?She really wanted to go back to the past: she and Gao Zhan were eating pancakes on the side of the street, and Gao Zhan suddenly took out her favorite snacks from the drawer. At that time, she was busy every day with high heels...

Li Ye was persistent, endless, Gao Zhan also changed, everything became strange to her, she couldn't control it, and couldn't control it, but everyone said it was for her!

How nice would it be to go back to the beginning?

Cheng Jia squatted on the ground and hugged herself!
"Cheng Jia!"

She looked up - it was Gao Zhan!

Gao Zhan felt distressed when he saw Cheng Jia's helpless and confused appearance, and he immediately hugged her.

"Let's go home!"
