Chapter 333 Peeling off the cocoon
The snow was falling heavily, and snowflakes shattered the surface of the lake.

The fish-catching pavilion in the center of the lake was hung with blankets and curtains on three sides, and the stove was burning very brightly. Sitting inside, I didn't feel cold. After drinking three or two cups of warm plum wine, my heart was warm. Looking at the icy pines and green lake in the distance, the green mountains and rivers, and chatting happily with a few friends, it was indeed a happy thing in the world.

Unfortunately, Zhang Yunqi came to Zhao Jianqiang this time to discuss important matters, and his mind was not on chatting and sightseeing. Zhao Jianqiang naturally knew this very well. After chatting for half an hour, he wanted to ask Zhao Chengming to take the two girls to the park, but he didn't expect that the female classmate named Li Yufei stood up first and said to him politely: "Uncle Zhao, Yunqi, it's a bit stuffy here. Xiaoman and I are going out for a walk and will come over later."

Looking at Li Yufei's back as she walked away, Zhao Jianqiang thought that this girl was very smart and worldly-wise in her speech and behavior. As Zhao Chengming's father, he could clearly feel that his son was a little too concerned about this girl.

Zhao Jianqiang felt that something was not right. He looked away, filled a glass of warm plum wine for Zhang Yunqi, and said with a smile, "Boss Zhang, you have a good relationship with this girl named Yufei?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and looked at Zhao Jianqiang: "Her father is the general manager of my company, and you are also very familiar with him, Li Jilin."

Zhao Jianqiang said "Oh" and had an expression of sudden enlightenment on his face. As for what he was thinking, no one knew. He said: "Let's talk about business."

Zhang Yunqi got straight to the point: "Zhao Shiming has fallen from power, and the head of Senhai Group needs to be decided as soon as possible. Director Zhao, your municipal government investment company needs to take the lead in promoting this matter."

Zhao Jianqiang expected that Zhang Yunqi came to him to discuss the Senhai Group. After all, they were already comrades in arms on this issue. To a certain extent, he, as the chairman of the Municipal State-owned Investment Group, was facing much greater pressure than Zhang Yunqi. However, he did not expect that Zhang Yunqi would actually intend to control the position of the chairman of Senhai. He was surprised and felt it was difficult: "This matter is not easy to handle. Although Senhai Group is a municipal state-owned enterprise and will be taken over by the Municipal State-owned Investment Group, the supervisory unit of Senhai Group is the Mechanical and Electrical Bureau. Now the personnel power is still in the hands of the Mechanical and Electrical Bureau. Without personnel power, there is no right to speak. It will be difficult for me to get involved in the short term."

Zhang Yunqi had expected Zhao Jianqiang to say this, and he knew that it was indeed the truth, the result of a balance of forces among all parties. However, if personnel were not changed and financial power could not be seized, how much discount would be given to the so-called institutional reform? The Municipal State-owned Investment Corporation had a long way to go if it wanted to carry the banner of the city's property rights reform.

Of course, one must eat one bite at a time. This time, attacking Senhai Group is the best opportunity to change the situation. Zhang Yunqi took out a briefcase and handed it to Zhao Jianqiang: "If there is no personnel power, then let's fight for personnel power."

Zhao Jianqiang was stunned: "What is this?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Some information about Zhao Shiming."

Zhao Jianqiang's eyelids twitched: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yunqi said: "Zhao Shiming has been dismissed, but he has only been removed from his position. If he releases this material, he will definitely be imprisoned. In this case, how many people will he bite? Not to mention the distant past, just talking about the feast of dividing up the Red Star Electronics Factory, how many people participated? Of course, our goal is not to bring anyone down, that is just the gain and loss of a city or a pond. Our goal is to take the initiative of the entire situation, and the most critical point here is who sits on the position of chairman of the Senhai Group. Lao Zhao, believe me, the people in the Municipal Mechanical and Electrical Bureau will be afraid to act rashly."

Zhao Jianqiang understood now.

Zhang Yunqi wanted to use this material to force the Mechanical and Electrical Bureau to decentralize its power and adjust the personnel change method, agreeing that the Municipal State-owned Investment Corporation would lead the selection of the new chairman of Senhai Group. This idea is certainly feasible. If this material is submitted to the Municipal Bureau of Letters and Calls, through the hands of Yang Jiarong, there will be a lot of room for maneuver.

Zhao Jianqiang breathed a sigh of relief: "What you said is feasible, but I still don't understand. Our ultimate goal is to control Red Star, but even if we change the chairman of Senhai Group, can we completely reverse the situation and prevent Red Star's bankruptcy and reorganization?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and said, "Old Zhao, the bankruptcy and reorganization of Red Star is an established fact, and no one can change it. But Red Star still belongs to Senhai, a municipal state-owned enterprise, and your municipal state-owned platform company."

Zhao Jianqiang was even more confused: "Well, I will follow your idea. First, we will use Zhao Shiming's problem to force the Mechanical and Electrical Bureau to give up power, and let the Municipal State Investment Corporation take over the personnel rights of Senhai Group. Then we will choose another chairman. In this way, Senhai is equivalent to being controlled by us, but what can we do? The Red Star Electronics Factory under Senhai Group has already been sold to Huangcheng Group. Where is the black and white?" Zhang Yunqi said meaningfully: "That may not be the case."

Zhao Jianqiang was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Yunqi explained: "In fact, as long as the new chairman of Senhai Group you appoint is a normal person, he will definitely find out where the most difficult problem of this 'land sale' incident lies."

Zhang Yunqi continued to analyze: "The current situation is that Senhai Group has legally completed the bankruptcy acquisition of Hongxing Electronics Factory and has paid part of the land acquisition fees, but the problem is that this money is far from meeting the reasonable needs of laid-off workers, so the workers took to the streets to block the road. This led to the city having to promise to advance millions of funds in order to meet the requirements of Hongxing workers, but this money must be hung on Senhai Group. In addition, Senhai is also responsible for completing the land transfer procedures of Hongxing Factory, changing it from industrial land to commercial residential land, and then transferring it to the name of Huangcheng Group. The high costs of land acquisition and transfer are all borne by Senhai. However, the land sale agreement reached between Gaoshan Huangcheng Group and Senhai Group is that Huangcheng will pay Senhai Group 11 million yuan at a price of 1463 yuan per mu to operate this project, which is 25 yuan lower than the market price of 14 per mu. What does this mean?"

Zhao Jianqiang reacted quickly: "It means that Senhai Group's land acquisition cost is much higher than the money that Huangcheng Group paid to Senhai Group. If Senhai Group continues to perform the 'land sale agreement' signed with Huangcheng Group, Senhai Group will 'pay back' a large sum of money!"

"Correct!" Zhang Yunqi stood up and said, "The city's finances are already stretched to the limit. In order to appease the Red Star employees, they really had to swallow their pride and advance a large sum of money for the Senhai Group! Under such circumstances, which normal Senhai boss would dare to sell the Red Star land at a loss? Who can make up for the huge loss of state-owned assets caused by the sale of this land?"

Zhao Jianqiang suddenly understood what was going on when he heard this, and he was impressed by the young man's amazing insight and planning ability. He knew some inside information about Liu Dongsheng leading the Red Star employees to block the road at the gate of Sennheiser Group to demand the resettlement fees for laid-off workers, all thanks to Zhang Yunqi. He originally thought that this was just the young man's passion to plead for the people, but he didn't expect that Zhang Yunqi's real purpose was to raise the land acquisition cost of Sennheiser Group, so that no one would dare to and could not sell the Red Star land!
However, Zhao Jianqiang still didn't quite understand one thing: "Even if the situation forces Senhai Group to not sell the Red Star land, but the land sale agreement with Phoenix Group has already been signed, how should this be handled?"

"Cancel the contract." Zhang Yunqi had obviously done a lot of homework on this plan and gave a direct answer: "The reason for cancelling the contract is that when the land sale agreement was signed, the land at No. 24 Xijiang Road was still under the name of the Red Star Electronics Factory, and the latter had not yet been acquired by the Senhai Group. Therefore, the land sale agreement signed by the Senhai Group and the Phoenix City Group that year is invalid!"

“Great!” Zhao Jianqiang slapped his thigh. He then remembered that when the Red Star Electronics Factory was sold by Sennheiser Group, it had not yet been acquired by Sennheiser Group. If there was no strong intervention from the forces behind it, this would not be legally acceptable!
"I really can't see the true face of Mount Lu because I am in it." Zhao Jianqiang stood up and said, "Mr. Zhang, your analysis is very insightful and impressive."

"Director Zhao, you are too kind." Zhang Yunqi waved his hand. In fact, this is just a superficial analysis. The situation is far from as simple as he told Zhao Jianqiang. It is not easy to cancel the contract unilaterally. Yang Jiarong is behind the renovated Senhai Group, but Gao Shan also has a powerful background. If Senhai wants to cancel the contract, it must sue Gao Shan's Phoenix Group, so this is destined to be a protracted tug-of-war.

At this time the snow was heavy again.

Zhang Yunqi seemed to have more thoughts.

Zhao Jianqiang handed a cup of warm plum wine to Zhang Yunqi, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him at the fish-forking pavilion, watching the snowflakes breaking the emerald green lake surface: "In fact, everyone thought that the prime land of Hongxing was already in Gaoshan's pocket. Mr. Zhang, the people of Jiangchuan want to thank you."

Zhang Yunqi glanced at him from the side and said, "Director Zhao's high hat makes me confused."

Zhao Jianqiang's words were somewhat meaningful: "I have read the article you wrote to Mayor Yang, "Some Basic Judgments and Prospects on the Evolution of the Privatization of China's Public Enterprises," but not everyone can see clearly what the land dispute of the Red Star Electronics Factory means."

Zhang Yunqi looked at the lake from afar and just smiled silently.
