Chapter 247 Expert At this moment, Li Yuanchao's face was gloomy and he could no longer maintain his calm demeanor. Not to mention whether what Ning Weidong said was true or not, or whether Ning Weidong's prediction would become a reality, the vision Ning Weidong showed was something he had never thought of before. I was even more amazed at the huge size of Ning Weidong’s egg. That's Speedlink! The only two superpowers in the world that can deter polar bears around the world. But in Ning Weidong's eyes, he is just a tool to make money, a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Originally, Li Yuanchao boasted that he was the best among his peers, and that he was top-notch in both scheming and wisdom. But compared with Ning Weidong today, the scheming and wisdom that he once took pride in have become a joke. His eyes were always fixed on this corner of the capital, and he never even thought of looking outside. When facing difficulties, they don’t think about how to break the situation, but become discouraged and self-pitying.
How could Li Yuanchao do such a cowardly thing? Where was his pride since childhood? Where was his arrogance and his tenacity to never give up? Li Yuanchao couldn't help but take a deep breath, watching Ning Weidong's lips trembling, and finally squeezed out the word "thank you" from between his teeth. Ning Weidong smiled and thought to himself, what did he say? He still has to thank me. However, at this point, Ning Weidong does not need to be stimulated anymore. Li Yuanchao is not an ordinary person. Just a little stimulation will be enough. Using too much force will make things worse. Ning Weidong then began to talk about some specific things. Li Yuanchao's fighting spirit was ignited, and his brain was working rapidly to the rhythm: "Do you want to build a production line in Handong Province first?" Ning Weidong said: "Yes, Handong is in a very good location, and my eldest brother-in-law is now the deputy director of the Nanping County Ge Committee, and my second uncle is in the Coast Guard Corps..." Li Yuanchao frowned. What Ning Weidong said made sense, but setting up the factory in Handong Province would be convenient for Ning Weidong, but not for him. Ning Weidong did not take advantage of the situation and continued, "I know you are having difficulties." Li Yuanchao said: "The few factories I can use are not in Handong. They are mainly concentrated in Qinhuang City, Jinzhou City, and Haicheng City." Ning Weidong said: "It doesn't matter. Our factory in Handong is an assembly plant. We can produce parts in other places, and then transport them to Handong to match them with the S parts for final assembly." At this point, Ning Weidong simply opened up and said, "Brother Yuanchao, my eldest brother-in-law is in Nanping County, and this factory must be placed there." Li Yuanchao understands that the economy must be subordinate to politics, at least for now. As for using power to pressure others, it was impossible to force the Zhao family to make peace with him. Although the Li family is much stronger than the Zhao family overall, Zhengzhi is not a game of chess, where the elephant eats the tiger, the tiger eats the leopard, and the leopard eats the wolf. Zhengzhi is a struggle of compromise and a compromise of struggle. What's more, Li Yuanchao's influence in the Li family is not enough to make the Li family fight for him. If his eldest brother and Zhao Lichun confront each other, it is a matter of principle and no one can give in. The Li family will definitely do their best. But Li Yuanchao... This is also one of the reasons why Li Yuanchao feels unbalanced. Therefore, after Ning Weidong said that the assembly plant could only be located in Handong Province, Li Yuanchao had no choice but to agree.
Ning Weidong continued, "I will mainly coordinate with Handong, but your side is the top priority. I will have Xiangjiang send a few Japanese TVs as soon as possible, as well as parts that we can obtain in large quantities through S. You organize scientific research forces here and disassemble them as quickly as possible to determine which parts we have alternative products for and which parts cannot be replaced and must be imported." Li Yuanchao nodded slowly, but in his mind he was quickly thinking about who to hand over this matter to. Ning Weidong added: "You don't have to consider the cost. If domestic products are available, try to use domestic ones." Li Yuanchao was stunned and a little confused. Ning Weidong explained: "The profits from our business are high enough, so we can subsidize domestic enterprises a little bit, which can also be regarded as training our own supporting facilities. One day in the future, we will no longer need to use Japanese parts, and all of them will be domestically produced and self-sufficient..." At this point, Ning Weidong patted Li Yuanchao on the shoulder and said, "Brother Yuanchao, once that happens, we will have mastered an industrial chain. If our technical level is not inferior to that of Japan by then, no one else in China can compare with us... Think about it, from upstream to downstream, dozens of factories and millions of workers all depend on us for their livelihood. This... is power!" Li Yuanchao licked his lips. He knew in his heart that Ning Weidong was just promising him something, but... this promise smelled so damn good. It was not until after three o'clock in the afternoon that Ning Weidong left Li Yuanchao's place. Before leaving, Li Yuanchao accompanied him to the car, and waved as Ning Weidong drove away. Today's meeting made him make up his mind. "Dozens of factories, millions of workers!" This sentence was what moved him the most, and Li Yuanchao deeply understood the weight of this sentence. If he could really achieve this, his status in the Li family would be equal to that of his elder brother. Thinking of this possibility, Li Yuanchao's heart was burning with anger. …… On the other side, Ning Weidong left Li Yuanchao and went directly north to the Overseas Chinese Apartment to find An Ning. One is that after returning this time, among the women around him, only An Ning is left who he has not seen yet. Another is that Li Yuanchao has already been negotiated, and the An family must also have a final say. Ning Weidong and Li Yuanchao just agreed to meet with the An family tomorrow to finalize some matters. The TV production line is not like vodka and cola. It is a serious industry. Even if it is a makeshift team, it is not easy to build a factory and run it smoothly. Ning Weidong's car arrived at the gate of the Overseas Chinese Apartment and honked. Someone came out of the guard room and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?" Ning Weidong reported An Ning's name and drove in. After parking the car downstairs, Ning Weidong came down carrying the bag from the car, and went upstairs to An Ning's house. Before he knocked on the door, he heard music coming from inside. After knocking on the door several times, someone came slowly to answer it and asked, "Who is it?" But it was not An Ning's voice. Ning Weidong frowned: "I'm looking for An Ning, she's her friend." The door opened with a click, and a middle-aged woman in her fifties stood in the door. She bowed immediately when she saw Ning Weidong: "You must be Comrade Ning Weidong~ Our eldest lady always mentions you." Ning Weidong was stunned and looked at the woman in front of him. It was rare to see someone calling her "young lady" these days. In the past few years, those who had been slaves in the old society were brought back through the literacy campaign. At this time, An Ning, wearing a blue sportswear, poked her head out from the living room, and the sound was vaguely coming from there.
Ning Weidong changed his shoes and went in. It turned out that An Ning had got a videotape from somewhere. It was an aerobics video and she was practicing it at home, sweating profusely from exhaustion. "You seem to be interested~" Ning Weidong smiled and sat on the sofa. An Ning wiped the sweat off her face with a towel and said, "What can I do? I've gained more than ten pounds in the past six months. If I don't exercise, I'm afraid you won't want me anymore." The woman who opened the door just now served Ning Weidong a cup of tea after he came in, and then automatically went back to the room next to the kitchen. Ning Weidong took a sip of tea and asked, "Who was that just now?" An Ning said, "You're talking about Aunt Zhang. She used to work in our house and took care of me when I was a child. Our family disappeared in those years, and she made a living by making fire boxes. We reconnected not long ago. She has no children and is very pitiful, so I let her do the laundry and cook for me at home." Ning Weidong nodded, but did not let down his guard: "Although he is your old man, we haven't contacted him for several years. You know all his details, so you dare to bring him home?" An Ning smiled sweetly, turned over and sat on Ning Weidong's lap, hugged his neck: "Are you worried about me?" Ning Weidong said: "You are mine, shouldn't I care about you?" An Ning smacked her lips and said happily, "I know you have me in your heart." Then she whispered, "To tell you the truth, Aunt Zhang is from the Xiangjiang Second House. She thought I didn't know and placed her next to me." Ning Weidong raised his eyebrows. This woman was really bold. She dared to keep him around even though she knew he had ulterior motives. An Ning guessed his thoughts and said, "What am I afraid of? As long as you are here, they wouldn't dare to touch me even if they have ten guts. Placing a spy next to me shows that they are guilty. When I negotiate with them later, I will bargain hard for them." Ning Weidong smiled. This woman's stance was quite correct. However, having such a person around is a hidden danger after all, and there are only An Ning and Aunt Zhang in this family. If the other party really has bad intentions, An Ning will be unable to guard against it. Ning Weidong couldn't help but think of Shi Xiaonan, it was also a safety issue. It seems that he must hurry up. Ning Weidong cannot do this matter himself. After much thought, he decided to hand it over to Lu Zhou. Now at Dongyi Company, Lu Zhou is in charge of the security department. Lu Zhou's background is relatively clean, and he has no connection with the Zhao family. Ning Weidong had a flash of thought in his mind, but he didn't think deeply about it, and asked again: "Have An Zhicheng and An Zhiyuan come to see you these days?" An Ning said: "How can I not look for them? They have both been here before." Ning Weidong nodded, and asked the two people in detail about their arrival. He said directly: "You will notify them later. Li Yuanchao and I will meet with them tomorrow to discuss cooperation." An Ning was stunned. He was not surprised that Ning Weidong wanted to meet the two brothers of the An family, but what was going on with Li Yuanchao? What is Li Yuanchao? She has gained some knowledge after living in the capital for so many years. But she knew that she should ask what she should ask and not ask what she shouldn't ask. Although she was curious, she could only endure it and asked, "Who should go first?" Ning Weidong said, "Come together. We are a family. Who are you going to waste your energy rehearsing for? Why don't I believe it? There are not so many quarrels among brothers." An Ning was slightly surprised: "You mean they are acting?" Ning Weidong said calmly, "Does it matter whether it's acting or not? I want to cooperate with the An family, not the second or third branch of the An family. If I can't even figure this out, I don't want to discuss cooperation with that kind of idiot, so as to avoid being cheated in the future." An Ning nodded: "I understand~"
Ning Weidong added: "You will go tomorrow too." An Ning was stunned. She didn't expect Ning Weidong to bring her along, which made her overjoyed. With Li Yuanchao present, tomorrow's meeting will definitely be of great significance. Having her present means that Ning Weidong intends to let her play a certain role in the future. This means that she can have a certain say in the project, especially when Ning Weidong and Li Yuanchao are not present, she can speak to the An family on their behalf. Thinking of this, An Ning couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and kissed Ning Weidong excitedly: "You are so nice!" Ning Weidong chuckled and patted her butt: "Just say it with your mouth?" An Ning pursed her lips and said "rascal" softly. But he just squatted down obediently. …… The next morning, in the company's original courtyard. Ning Weidong came here directly early in the morning. The meeting with the An brothers as agreed today is here. Ning Weidong had no intention of discussing serious matters at the table, nor did he prepare any food, just a pot of tea. At around nine o'clock, Li Yuanchao, as another host, arrived early. Looking at Ning Weidong's yard, he asked, "From what you see, are you planning to turn this into a reception area?" Ning Weidong said: “If you have this plan, I will call it a club, a meeting place.” Li Yuanchao agreed, "That's appropriate." Then he looked at his watch and asked, "What time will they arrive?" Ning Weidong said: "I notified them that they would arrive at 9:30. They should be able to arrive 15 minutes earlier. It will be almost time." The two of them went to the reception room in the middle of the north and waited. As expected, just at 9:15, the An brothers and An Ning arrived. When they arrived at the yard, An Ning took the lead. The An brothers are not qualified to ask Ning Weidong and Li Yuanchao to pick people up at the door. After arriving at the house, Ning Weidong stood up and introduced An Ning to Li Yuanchao as a courtesy: "Brother Yuanchao, this is An Ning, one of us." An Ning quickly stepped forward to shake hands: "Hello, Manager Li, you can just call me Xiao An." Li Yuanchao looked at An Ning and shook his hand gently: "Hello, Comrade Xiao An." After the handshake, An Ning took the opportunity to stand next to Ning Weidong to make her position clear. An Zhiyuan and An Zhicheng, who were following behind him, followed up. The two were overjoyed to learn that Ning Weidong had an appointment with them today and would bring Li Yuanchao with him.
Only An Ning nodded at them. Ning Weidong's disdain for their brotherly feud made the two of them feel a little uneasy. As to whether there are conflicts between the second and third branches of the Xiangjiang An family, the answer is yes, of course, but they are not to the point of being hostile to each other. The two of them were just rehearsing in front of Ning Weidong. After introducing each other and shaking hands, Ning Weidong said, "Since everyone is here, please take a seat. An Ning, go make a pot of tea. Use the Biluochun tea under my desk." An Ning responded and immediately bent down to get busy. He did not feel uncomfortable about being ordered around in public, but was secretly delighted. Ning Weidong ordered her around like this to tell others, especially Li Yuanchao, that she was truly Ning Weidong's person, not just lip service. The remaining four people chatted for a while, and An Ning's tea was served. She poured a cup for the four people and placed it on the coffee table. Ning Weidong reached out and took a sip, then started talking: "Comrade An Zhiyuan, I heard that you are very familiar with Tang Wanning, right?" An Zhiyuan was startled. He didn't expect Ning Weidong to bring up this matter first. Ever since he learned that Tang Wanning was transferred out of the capital, he heard rumors, guessed what happened, and regretted it very much. If he had known that Tang Wanning was unreliable, he would never have gotten close to her. Now, look what happened. A lot of money was spent and a lot of nice words were said, but in the end, everything is a mess. Originally, he still had some hope, thinking that her contact with Tang Wanning was very secretive and might not be known to outsiders. Today he learned what it means to not do something if you don't want others to know. "This..." An Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. An Zhicheng on the side said quickly: "Comrade Ning, we were confused for a moment. We are new here and don't know the limits. If you want to punish us, we in the An family will accept it." Ning Weidong nodded expressionlessly: "That sounds like a good thing to say." Then he shifted his gaze from An Zhiyuan to An Zhicheng: "Don't try to be clever in the future and do something like family discord and separate investments." An Zhicheng did not make any excuses, and looked like he accepted the punishment and would do whatever the emperor said. Ning Weidong took the initiative and softened his tone a little. After all, he called the two of them here today to cooperate, not to lose his temper. "I don't know what your rules are in Hong Kong." Ning Weidong continued, "But now that you are in Beijing, you have to follow my rules. Any problem?" An Zhiyuan and An Zhicheng said in unison: "No, everything is up to you." Ning Weidong smiled, seeing that the two were quite sensible, and at the same time guessed that the An family's situation in Hong Kong was probably not very good. It was only 79, and if they really wanted to do well in Hong Kong, they wouldn't have to be so humble as to come to Beijing to look for opportunities. Ning Weidong exchanged glances with Li Yuanchao: "In this case, I will tell you my plan..." Blah blah, Ning Weidong carefully explained his plan from beginning to end, shipping goods from Japan, receiving goods at the Nanping County wharf, using domestic factories to make spare parts, and assembling household appliances, mainly televisions. The three parties involved in the cooperation, Ning Weidong, Li Yuanchao and An Jia, explained in detail what role each of them played and what share they held. Ning Weidong and Li Yuanchao had already discussed these things yesterday. Today, there are three parties on the surface, but in fact there are only two parties. Ning Weidong's final plan was that he and Li Yuanchao's family would get half, and the rest would be the choice of where to settle down. Ning Weidong had already talked to An Zhicheng last time and asked him to discuss with his family which model to choose.
They can just make money from the electronic components, Ning Weidong won't take care of that and will pay them directly upon arrival. This amount can also be counted into the share of the assembly plant, but Ning Weidong clearly told them that if they choose the second option, the share will not be too high. The reason is straightforward, because the An family in Hong Kong is not irreplaceable. If necessary, Ning Weidong can easily find alternative channels. Although the An family was depressed, they had no other choice, because what Ning Weidong said was true. An Zhiyuan and An Zhicheng originally planned to pretend to be incompatible and act in front of Ning Weidong, while secretly communicating with each other and gaining a certain information advantage. As a result, Ning Weidong made it clear first, and An Zhiyuan was also trembling with fear because of Tang Wanning's matter. An Zhicheng said: "We choose to settle separately." Ning Weidong said "hmm". He was not surprised by the An family's choice. Although Ning Weidong thought that the TV assembling business was a sure win, the An family was full of uncertainty. In addition, the An family is even more afraid of cooperating with Ning Weidong and Li Yuanchao, which is tantamount to courting disaster. Even if you can get a 10% or 20% share in the entire project, whether you can monetize it in the end is another matter. If they choose the latter, at worst they will earn less. What they are more afraid of is that this project will become a hook that will keep them investing, resulting in huge sunk costs that are difficult to get rid of. If that were the case, even if you filled the entire An family in there, not a single sound would be heard. So, it is not surprising that Anjia made this choice to be on the safe side. Ning Weidong didn't care what they chose, as long as he could get the circuit boards and cathode ray tubes from Japan as required. "Brother Yuanchao, do you have any other ideas?" Ning Weidong looked at Li Yuanchao. Li Yuanchao waved his hand: "That's great, I agree." In fact, the two of them had already discussed it, and Ning Weidong asked this question at the end out of respect for Li Yuanchao. Ning Weidong said, "Okay, that's settled then." He turned to look at the An brothers and said, "I heard that Hong Kong values the spirit of contract. Although this is a gentleman's agreement, if you want a money contract, that's fine too." The An brothers said no, what a joke~ The person who took the s away also signed a contract. This is because he is afraid that there will be no evidence if something goes wrong in the future. Ning Weidong smiled and continued, "In that case, let's get into the swing of things. The An family should quickly get back a few prototypes of the best-selling TVs in Japan, both color and black and white. We need to disassemble them in China..." The An brothers agreed immediately. An Zhicheng said, "Comrade Ning, don't worry. We don't need to go to Japan. We have it ready in Hong Kong. We will call when we get back. The ship will arrive at Tianjin Port in seven days at most." Ning Weidong was just about to nod, but to be honest, getting the prototype in seven days was already beyond his expectations. Unexpectedly, Li Yuanchao said, "Don't take the boat. I'll arrange a plane." When the An brothers heard this, they swallowed their saliva at the same time and sighed inwardly that Li Yuanchao was indeed Li Yuanchao. He had such great confidence that he could control the plane just by opening his mouth. Ning Weidong was secretly delighted. It seemed that Li Yuanchao had really cheered up and became proactive. Finally, some details were finalized and the An brothers left first. An Ning was kept by Ning Weidong and introduced to Li Yuanchao alone: "Brother Yuanchao, this comrade An Ning is the daughter of Mr. An, a former patriotic industrialist." Li Yuanchao suddenly realized the name of Mr. An's father: "So I am Mr. An's descendant. Speaking of which, my father and Mr. An had a history."
An Ning's eyes lit up. Li Yuanchao said: "During the Anti-Japanese War, Mr. An secretly provided a lot of medicines to the Shanxi-Hebei Anti-Japanese War Base. At that time, my father was the deputy director of the base." Ning Weidong was speechless when he heard this far-fetched "origin". He guessed that neither Li's father nor An's father had ever met him. But bringing it up at this time is also a kind of attitude. Ning Weidong said: "Brother Yuan Chao, An Ning's family has a profound academic background and is related to the An family in Xiangjiang. We can be the perfect mediator. What do you think?" Li Yuanchao understood what Ning Weidong meant and laughed: "I have no problem with people you trust." It’s not that he trusts Ning Weidong so much, but there is no need to be serious about this position. Li Yuanchao had no intention of competing for this position, and this project has been entirely led by Ning Weidong so far. Li Yuanchao had not thought about vying for the leading position. Firstly, he was a little unsure about what Ning Weidong was going to do; secondly, the final success or failure of this matter was unpredictable, so there was no need to argue over it at this time. Li Yuanchao was confident that with the strength of the Li family, no matter who was in charge of the actual operation, Ning Weidong would not dare to take advantage of him. An Ning was unbelievable. She didn't know in advance that Ning Weidong would let her take actual responsibility, and she never had such an unreasonable idea. Ning Weidong looked at her and said, "An Ning, since Brother Yuan Chao has no objection, you should take up this responsibility and let the An family of Hong Kong see what you are capable of." An Ning responded excitedly. Afterwards, Ning Weidong personally sent Li Yuanchao to the car, leaving only Ning Weidong and An Ning. Back in the house again, the two of them relaxed without outsiders around. An Ning hugged Ning Weidong and kissed him: "Thank you, I really didn't expect..." Ning Weidong said: "Why thank you? Do you think I recommended you because of our relationship? No, if you don't have this ability, I won't recommend you at all. I really think highly of your ability. Don't let me down." An Ning said "hmm" and nodded heavily. Ning Weidong said: "Tell me, what are you going to do next?" An Ning was speechless for a moment. She was just happy to be here and had not made any preparations beforehand. Now faced with Ning Weidong's questioning, she really didn't know where to start. Ning Weidong was not in a hurry: "It doesn't matter if you haven't thought it through. Go back and think about it carefully, write it down on paper, and give it to me tomorrow." An Ning nodded and suppressed the excitement in her heart. She understood that Ning Weidong was pouring cold water on her just now, telling her not to get too carried away. An Ning took a deep breath and told herself that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and she must not mess it up. Without bothering to argue with Ning Weidong any further, An Ning went back to think and left soon. After she left, Ning Weidong sat in the room smoking. Today's meeting went very smoothly, just as Ning Weidong expected. When Li Yuanchao chose to leave and reached an agreement with Ning Weidong in advance, there was no room for Xiang Jiang Anjia to choose.
Unless the An family simply quits and returns to Hong Kong. In that case, Ning Weidong and Li Yuanchao would be unable to do anything to them for the time being. But would the An family in Xiangjiang be willing to accept this? Since they had sent An Zhiyuan and An Zhicheng to the north in succession, it meant that they attached great importance to the mainland, which invisibly revealed that their situation was not good. At this time, Ning Weidong must seize the opportunity and take advantage of the An family's predicament. In fact, Ning Weidong didn't want the An family to choose to join the TV assembly factory. Ning Weidong attaches great importance to this assembly plant. With him at the helm in the future, it is very likely to develop into a world-class large enterprise. If Xiangjiang Anjia really wants to join in, he will just be riding on it for nothing. It's a pity that they are useless even though they are given the opportunity. Ning Weidong lit a cigarette and thought about his next plan. Zhao Lichun is in Handong, and the samples from Anjia have arrived. They are being disassembled and analyzed, and a production plan is being put forward to determine what can be produced domestically and what must be produced in Japan. After the plan is determined, the production line can be built. But this matter is not that simple, nor that fast. Even if everything goes well, you will have to wait until the first half of next year to see TVs assembled in the factory. During this period, Ning Weidong will focus his main energy on the winery and cola factory. Speaking of the cola factory, Chen Baohua from Harbin sent a telegram yesterday, telling us about the situation of the Agricultural Science Bureau's soda factory. It’s worse than Ning Weidong expected. Rather than being a soda factory, it is actually just a larger workshop, and the equipment and personnel in the factory are not formal. Especially the personnel, all of them are temporarily seconded. They come to the factory to work during the season and have other jobs at other times. The only advantage is that all the procedures are in place, and there is a very large site next to the railway. Another good news is that the recipe for Baikal Cola from Seryosha has been sent over via encrypted telegram. It can be felt that Seryosha and Khoramov are actively pushing forward the process, and they even asked in the telegram when the Flame Vodka can be sent over. Back in the Far East, Ning Weidong swore that he owned a vodka factory, but they didn't know that Ning Weidong's factory was just an empty shell. In order to avoid suspicion on the other side, we must ship a batch of vodka over as soon as possible. Even if the quantity is small, we can find an excuse to test the market, but we cannot keep delaying the delivery. Ning Weidong reached out and put out the half-smoked cigarette in the ashtray and prepared to go to the winery to take a look. …… At the same time, in Li Yuanchao's club. As soon as Li Yuanchao came back, he saw Li Kangmei sitting in his office and asked in surprise, "Second sister, why are you here?" No one else dared to enter his office casually, except the Li Anti-American Club, and no one dared to stop her.
"How was the talk?" Li Kangmei leaned back on the sofa, fiddling with an old-looking craft pistol with beautiful patterns engraved on it. Li Yuanchao saw it and said helplessly: "Second sister, I told you to play with it, why are you spinning it? It fell to the ground and broke!" This is a collectible pistol that Li Yuanchao likes very much, and he is always very careful when cleaning it. Li Kangmei pouted: "Xiongse, if you get hurt, I'll help you, it's no big deal." Li Yuanchao said with drooping eyelids: "You have said the same thing so many times. If you fulfill it once, you will be worthy of it." Li Kangmei blushed and quickly changed the subject: "Stop talking nonsense, what's going on?" "What else can we do?" Li Yuanchao said calmly as he took out a bottle of soda from the small refrigerator in his office: "I went there today to show our family's attitude. Unless the An family gives up, we have to continue." Li Kangmei shook his head and sighed, "I never thought that in just a few months, the boy surnamed Ning would cause such a big mess. When Zhao Ruyu brought him to me, I just thought he was another lucky gigolo." Li Yuanchao was also thinking back. It was really hard to imagine that in less than half a year, Ning Weidong had become qualified to be on equal footing with him. At this time, Li Kangmei gloated and said, "But I think he will have some troubles this time." Li Yuanchao's heart moved, and he asked hurriedly: "Second sister, what rumors have you heard?" Li Kangmei said: "You forgot how Tang Wanning was transferred." Li Yuanchao frowned and said, "You mean... Old Tang is going to take action?" Li Kangmei said calmly, "Old Tang won't do that. He is a man who cherishes his reputation. Besides, it was his daughter who made the mistake this time. He must handle it in a low-key manner, reduce the impact as soon as possible, and let people forget about it." Li Yuanchao said: "Then what else do you say..." Li Kangmei said: "Although Old Tang wants to keep a low profile, some people can't sit still. Tang Wanning and Ning Weidong didn't know each other, so why would she bother Ning Weidong for no reason?" Li Yuanchao immediately reacted: "Are you talking about Wang Guoqiang from Red Star Factory? I heard that his daughter Wang Yu and Tang Wanning are inseparable, and Ning Weidong came from Red Star Factory and has conflicts with Wang Guoqiang." Li Kangmei chuckled and said, "This time Tang Wanning went to Xiang Province, but Wang Yu was not affected at all. What do you think Old Tang would think if he knew the whole story?" "It's true~" Li Yuanchao had a playful expression. Li Kangmei asked, "If you were Wang Guoqiang, how could you seek Old Tang's forgiveness at this time?" Li Yuanchao thought for a moment and said, "It is definitely not a good idea to take the child with him to apologize. This incident has already affected the reputation of Tang Wanning and the Tang family. It cannot be solved by going to apologize. Even if he goes to apologize, Old Tang will just pretend not to care, but he will hate Wang Guoqiang in his heart." Li Kangmei said: "Yes, at this time, asking for forgiveness is not asking for forgiveness, but forcing the emperor to abdicate. You have to forgive him whether you want to or not. This knot is tied to death." Li Yuanchao analyzed, "So, at this time, Wang Guoqiang's best option is to continue to stubbornly provoke Ning Weidong. If he can take the opportunity to make Ning Weidong lose face, that would be the best, so that Old Tang can vent his anger. Even if that doesn't work, he has to endure it and let Ning Weidong take revenge and make him look bad, so that he can have an explanation to Old Tang at that time." Li Kangmei curled his lips and said, "Your analysis is quite logical." …… Later, Ning Weidong drove to the winery. A piece of factory area that was originally separated from Factory 738 has been re-walled and a sign reading "Dongyi Company Alcoholic Beverage Factory" has been hung on it. Ning Weidong had made a phone call before coming, and as soon as his car arrived, Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan came out to greet him.
Walking along the gate and onto the newly hardened road surface, Ning Weidong looked at the renovated factory workshop and asked about the specific situation. There are quite a few people in the factory. According to the materials submitted by Fatty Wang, there are 36 regular employees in the factory. In addition, several experts have been seconded from the Ministry of Light Industry to guide production. However, just as the three of them arrived at the main workshop and Ning Weidong was about to take a look at the most important filtering equipment, he heard someone shouting at the door: "What nonsense! I have been brewing wine since before liberation, and I have brewed wine all my life, but I have never heard of any wine that needs to be filtered with activated carbon. Is it still wine!" Ning Weidong frowned and looked in the direction of the voice. I saw an old man in a blue Zhongshan suit in the workshop, holding a bamboo stick and talking while knocking on the newly installed filtration equipment, making a "dong dong" sound.

How can the old mule's wine compare to the thousands of years of wine culture in China? The good wine is filtered. It's ridiculous!" Ning Weidong frowned and looked at Fatty Wang who looked embarrassed: "Who is this person?"
