Chapter 490 Blood Splatter
Many times, Zhang Yunqi always feels that he is very different from what he was a few years ago.

In the past, he had a serious mentality of being a commoner, was content with a small fortune, and felt that the world was not lacking in kindness. However, as he became increasingly involved in a society where benefits were distributed according to strength, and constantly witnessed the sinister nature of human nature in the gray area, his thinking was slowly undergoing earth-shaking changes, and he became increasingly aware that many of his ideas and practices were wrong, even childish and ridiculous.

When he was just reborn, he was asked what market economy is?

He would answer without hesitation: A market-oriented economy is an economic system that allocates resources through market mechanisms. It emphasizes the independence and equality of market players, and achieves full and reasonable allocation of resources through equal competition, ultimately achieving the goal of maximizing efficiency.

Now ask him what is a market-oriented economy?
The answer in his mind was only seven words: "To live, you have to make money!"

This is a realistic economic structure, an ideology, and a life philosophy. It is never subject to human will or moral standards. Under the tide of market economy, if the general principles change, everything has to change, and everything has become flat and realistic.

Shallowness is profoundness!
Today, Zhang Yunqi once again realized the profound meaning of this point in the case of Qiao Zhiwu.

He had lived in Lizhen for 26 years, and it was hard not to hear all kinds of bizarre rumors about Qiao Zhiwu. Today was his first meeting with him. He had thought that this influential figure in later generations might be of such importance, but when Qiao Zhiwu blurted out the words "not that", he was a little amused by this "shallowness" and didn't know what to say.

Is the problem in Qiaojia Village a money problem?

Yes, it is not!
Zhang Yunqi said to Qiao Zhiwu, "Nowadays, people with more than 100,000 can be sentenced to death. How many people can be sentenced to death with 3 million?"

Qiao Zhiwu stared at Zhang Yunqi for a long time, and finally lit a cigarette and said, "I feel that you don't understand me very well now, brother Zhang. The price increase in the village is the village's business, and it has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Yunqi guessed that this matter should have nothing to do with Qiao Zhiwu, because the money came too slowly, and there were countless obstacles in the middle, and he knew that Qiao Zhiwu's main business was usury, opening casinos, debt collection, etc. Any business would be a profitable one. Why go far away?
He remembered that some reports in later generations recorded Qiao Zhiwu's operation method, inviting some people with hats or businessmen to play, but Qiao Zhiwu used cameras and other methods to cheat, and won hundreds of millions or even tens of millions of dollars from some people after a few gambling games. No money to pay? No problem, write an IOU, and the interest will be compounded until the other party is bankrupt.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yunqi said, "Mr. Qiao doesn't need to explain. After all, it's a thing of the past. And I've already withdrawn my investment. The Qiaokou Town project has nothing to do with me. What does it matter if it was you who did it?"

Qiao Zhiwu nodded: "That makes sense, but originally this matter could have been handled privately and it would have been easy to resolve. But now you have cut off the source of the trouble, and the matter has become more and more serious. Not only do the common people have complaints, but they have also reported them to the higher-ups. Now the higher-ups are threatening to do something about it."

When Zhang Yunqi heard this, he could only smile.

According to Qiao Zhiwu's logic, Zhang Yunqi's withdrawal of investment was like cutting off the source of funds, which was wrong, a mistake, and offended a lot of people.

What does it mean to solve it privately? If this matter is not reported to the authorities, will Qiao Zhiwu show up? To put it bluntly, he had no choice but to swallow his anger and not withdraw his investment. He also had to launch the project vigorously and gloriously. He also had to pay three million yuan to feed the ungrateful people in the district, town and village before the project even started. This was the right thing to do.

What else can Zhang Yunqi say? Human beings are always biased and always consider issues from the perspective of their own interests. That is why people never reason, because they only reason from their own perspective.

This Qiao Zhiwu is even worse.

Qiao Zhiwu took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "Things have become like this now. The higher-ups are very dissatisfied. Wang Linjun in the district is very embarrassed. It affects progress. Do you understand?
Zhang Yunqi said: "It seems that Wang Linjun has a lot of face."

Qiao Zhiwu laughed. He turned his head and glanced around, his eyes landing on Zhang Yunqi's Mercedes-Benz luxury car. "After I knew about this, I thought you were my schoolmate and a businessman, so I thought we could get to know each other and make friends. I happened to meet you today, so I gave you some advice. Harmony brings wealth, so there's nothing wrong with it. But now it seems that you are very confident."

Zhang Yunqi said: "I can't say I'm confident. I'm doing business in response to the city's call for investment. It's never wrong to do things in a down-to-earth manner."

Qiao Zhiwu took out a business card and handed it to Zhang Yunqi: "Is that so? You will come to see me soon."

When he said this, his expression was quite confident.

Zhang Yunqi took the business card and said, "If there is anything good, I will definitely visit Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Zhiwu smiled, turned and left.

Zhang Yunqi watched him dragging his lame leg and limping to the roadside parking lot.

Before getting in the car, Qiao Zhiwu touched the front of Zhang Yunqi's Mercedes-Benz. Then he looked at Zhang Yunqi and smiled with a meaningful expression.

Qiao Zhiwu got into his car and drove away.

Like those rich and powerful people who come here to gild their reputations, Qiao Zhiwu probably also obtained his doctorate three times. In three years, he came here once to report, once to give gifts, and once to defend his thesis and get his diploma. Of course, Qiao Zhiwu is young after all, and he may come to the school occasionally to pick up junior girls under the identity of a doctoral alumnus.

They have reached the point where their dreams have come true.

Zhang Yunqi thought about it and felt that meeting Qiao Zhiwu here was not a coincidence. He put away the business card, took out his mobile phone and called Ma Shi.

It is late autumn now and the northwest wind is a bit cold.

The wind was particularly fierce this afternoon, blowing yellow leaves all over the sky. The sky was bleak and I don't know when the pedestrians on the street changed into long sleeves and long pants. The coldness was already penetrating people's hearts.

After Zhang Yunqi finished his phone call with Ma Shi, he did not go to the East Teaching Building of Hunan University for class. Instead, he walked directly through the streets covered with flying yellow leaves and went to Lushan Hotel across the street. He took the elevator to the tea room on the seventh floor and asked for a private room facing the street with a wide view.

The lady poured a pot of tea and stood by the door waiting for instructions.

Zhang Yunqi took a sip of tea, called Lu Feng, and invited him to come over for tea and talk.

Lu Feng was surprised: "I'm busy. Why didn't you tell me what happened in the office this morning?" Zhang Yunqi said: "Mr. Lu, there is an emergency. It is necessary to report to you in person."

Lu Feng asked, "Keep it a secret! Where is it?"

Zhang Yunqi said, "It's in Lushan Hotel, right opposite the east gate of Hunan University, Tea Room 7 on the 211th floor. I'll pick you up?"

Lu Feng said: "No need."

The call was immediately hung up.

Zhang Yunqi put down his phone, stood up and opened the window in front of the tea room. A gust of fresh air blew in his face, and he saw that the maple leaves on Yuelu Mountain in the distance were still bright red.

Lu Feng arrived very quickly, even without his secretary.

Zhang Yunqi asked the tea room lady to change the pot of tea, and then asked her to close the door and leave.

Lu Feng sat opposite Zhang Yunqi and asked quickly, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yun first poured a cup of tea for Lu Feng and said, "Does Mayor Lu know Qiao Zhiwu?"

Lu Feng was stunned.

Zhang Yunqi understood everything from his expression.

We are all in this circle, who doesn't have a background? It seems that Qiao Zhiwu's background strength should not be underestimated!

Zhang Yunqi said: "He came to see me this afternoon, and the chat was not very pleasant."

Lu Feng took a sip of tea and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhang Yunqi directly put the core contradiction on Lu Feng and said, "You didn't give face to Wang Linjun, which is equivalent to Wang Linjun not giving face to Qiao Zhiwu. Therefore, Qiao Zhiwu has to ask for face back from me, Zhang Yunqi."

Lu Feng put down his teacup: "Is that true?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of glass breaking outside, followed by a girl's scream. The window of the tea room was open, and the increasingly loud noise outside could be clearly heard.

Zhang Yunqi stopped drinking tea and looked at Lu Feng. Lu Feng looked at him, stood up, and walked to the window of the tea room with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Yunqi also stood up and followed.

Dongdaemun, below the teahouse window, is a bustling commercial street, bustling with people. It is already afternoon, after school, and female college students holding textbooks are walking through the streets, full of the atmosphere of fireworks.

Just at this moment, a van without license plates suddenly came speeding on the street, braked suddenly in front of the East Gate, and after it stopped, four or five young men holding iron bars jumped out. They rushed towards a million-dollar Mercedes-Benz luxury car with a hole in the license plate, and smashed four car windows directly with the iron bars.

The sound of glass breaking immediately attracted the attention of the people around and the students passing by.

In broad daylight, this group of people smashed cars in the street!

However, when these fierce-looking young men were about to take the next step of smashing the car, another group of people suddenly rushed out from the surroundings. They were also tall and strong, holding iron rods. Without saying a word, they pounced on the young men who were smashing the car like hungry wolves.

Soon, the two sides started fighting.

The other party came to smash the car, so there were only four or five young men. The group protecting the Mercedes-Benz was obviously prepared, with more than ten young and strong men coming, basically three to one.

The situation immediately became one-sided.

More than ten people caught the young man who smashed the car and beat him up violently. Their attacks were cruel and vicious. For a while, the sky above Dongdaemun was filled with shrill screams. Four or five young men who smashed the car were beaten and crawled on the ground, covered in blood, which splattered all over the street.

When the siren of the Erliban Police Station sounded, Zhang Yunqi had already turned around and sat down at the coffee table, reaching out to make a cup of tea.

Lu Feng retracted his gaze and said, "Is this the show you want to show me?"

Zhang Yunqi brewed a cup of Junshan Maojian and moved over: "It's mainly the other party's cooperation."

Lu Feng sat opposite Zhang Yunqi, picked up the Maojian and blew gently: "You want both face and substance, and you also want to roast me on the fire!"

Zhang Yunqi said slowly: "I responded to the call of Lu City to attract investment and came here to build a modern large-scale agricultural production base, promote the reform of the three-rights separation of farmland, and drive the city's farmers out of poverty and become rich."
