Qiao Liang stared at Li Youwei: "Old...boss, what big thing happened?"

Because of nervousness and anxiety, Qiao Liang's voice stuttered a little.

At this time, Qiao Liang didn't know what Li Youwei said about the big thing, but he didn't know whether it was inside or outside the system.

Seeing Qiao Liang doing this, Li Youwei let out a heavy sigh and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down and say."

Qiao Liang sat straight on the sofa next to Li Youwei and continued to stare at Li Youwei.

Then Li Youwei told Qiao Liang the whole story...

It turned out that something happened within the Zhengtai Group, and it was indeed not small, and this matter was closely related to Li Youwei and himself.

The incident happened to Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun.

These three people were the key targets that Li Youwei cultivated when he was the top leader of the newspaper. They were both Li Youwei's generals. At that time, Qiao Liang served as the director of the newspaper office, Chen Tao served as the director of the advertising center, Niu Zhiqiang served as the director of the printing factory, and Lin Jianjun served as the general manager of the distribution center. These four departments are the most important administrative and business units of the newspaper. Distribution, advertising and printing are the three pillars of the newspaper's business operations and the most important pillars of the newspaper's business income.

Later, after Li Youwei's accident, Qiao Liang was first punished by Wenyuan and then sent to the living base. Later, Qiao Liang was taken to the Propaganda Department by Xu Honggang. Wenyuan carried out large-scale personnel adjustments within the newspaper and launched his own people in important departments. Chen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun were sent to the living base by Wenyuan because they were unwilling to betray Li Youwei and surrender to Wenyuan.

Seeing that Li Youwei's former old subordinates were beaten by Wen Yuan, Qiao Liang couldn't bear it. He knew that these three were very capable in management, and he found out that they wanted to join Li Youwei again. So he operated it and with the consent of Fang Xiaoya and Li Youwei, they asked them to resign and leave the newspaper, join the senior executive of Zhengtai Group, and be responsible for important departments of Zhengtai Group.

After a happy arrival at Zhengtai Group, these three people did not disappoint Li Youwei, Fang Xiaoya and Qiao Liang's high hopes, loyally assisted Li Youwei, and did a great job in business management. They became Li Youwei's right-hand assistants in Zhengtai Group. Li Youwei also trusted them as always and often handed over important business operations to them.

Of course, unlike in newspapers, the three of them have a lot of income.

But society is a big dye vat, especially in the business world, and people's desires are endless, especially in the pursuit of money. With the smooth sailing of career and the stability of their position in the Zhengtai Group, and with the contact with various businessmen and luxurious occasions, their hearts are also changing unknowingly.

Some time ago, Chintai Group wanted to discuss an important cooperation project with a major group in the south. Out of caution, Li Youwei decided to send someone to the other party for some inspection first, because this cooperation project was related to the departments responsible for Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun, so Li Youwei decided to send the three of them to form a joint inspection team and go to the south for inspection.

Before they set off, Li Youwei held a special meeting for them, telling them the purpose, content and other matters of the inspection. At the same time, he also talked about the importance of this cooperation with the other party to the Zhengtai Group and the huge benefits it brought.

The three of them knew this cooperation project, because many of the specific matters in the early stage were operated by their department, because this cooperation is very important, and these matters in the early stage are still in the confidentiality stage and are highly commercial confidential.

They then set off and went to the south for half a month for an inspection. When they came back, they successfully reported to Li Youwei.

The chairman of the other party group then brought a team of senior officials to Jiangzhou and formally negotiated the cooperation project with Zhengtai Group.

The amount of this cooperation project is huge. If it can be achieved, it will bring generous economic benefits to both parties. For Chint Group, it is a highlight in the history of development.

Of course, Xiaoya, the partner of this cooperation project, knew and strongly supported it, and authorized Li Youwei to be fully responsible for the matter.

Of course, in the negotiation of this cooperation project, both parties want to strive for greater benefits for their group and take the greatest initiative.

For this negotiation, Li Youwei made plans and made sufficient preparations in advance, and was determined to win.

But at the beginning of the negotiation, Li Youwei felt that the situation was not very good, and the other party took the initiative when he came up. As the negotiation progressed, the other party pressed step by step and completely grasped the initiative, which made Li Youwei very passive and embarrassed and could only resist step by step defense.

In order to ensure that the interests of the Zhengtai Group are not damaged, Li Youwei could only stick to the bottom line, but the other party was aggressive and unstoppable.

After ending the first round negotiations in a very embarrassing manner, Li Youwei felt great confusion and suspicion, because he clearly realized that the other party seemed to have a good understanding of the inside story of the Zhengtai Group and had a special grasp of some of the highly commercial secrets and the bottom line of the negotiations of the Zhengtai Group.

Under such confusion and suspicion, Li Youwei secretly sent an investigation team composed of relevant personnel to investigate the matter. Not only did he investigate within the group, but he also went to the other party group in the south to investigate. Of course, going to the south to investigate requires some methods and means to leverage insiders within the other party group. Although this is not upright, in order to find out the truth, it can only be done.

After a week of secret investigation, on the eve of the Spring Festival, the final result was reported to Li Youwei.

This result made Li Youwei extremely shocked and angry. The problem actually came from the joint inspection team he sent in the early stage, which was his most trusted old subordinates Shen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun. During the inspection of the other party’s group, these three guys were hit by the other party’s sugar-coated cannonballs. The other party arranged them in the highest-end five-star resort in the local area to enter the feast every day. Once, after they were drunk, each arranged two beauties to accompany them into the room...

Although these three people are not close to women, they finally did not resist the temptation of beauty at this time. They also felt that this place was far away from Jiangzhou and the sky was high and the emperor was far away. As long as they didn't say it themselves, no one would know.

Once the defense line collapses, it will quickly sink. They are intoxicated by singing, dancing, and beautiful women every day, extremely free and indulgent.

During this period, the other party specially arranged for them to go to Australia to gamble. As a result, each person lost more than 3 million yuan overnight, and the other party accompanied the financial director to pay.

This means that each of them owes the other party more than 3 million yuan.

Faced with this considerable debt, they were stunned. They were short-spoken and soft-hearted. What should they do?

After returning from Aocheng, an executive of the other group met them specifically and told them clearly that the money was not needed, which was equivalent to giving it to them.

There is never a pie falling from the sky. They know that it is not good when facing the other person's generosity.

Sure enough, the other party gave them a piece of paper with what they needed to know, and asked Chen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun to provide it.

When they saw the content on it, they were nervous. All they needed was the high commercial secrets of the Chint Group related to this cooperation negotiation. Once given to them, the Chint Group would inevitably fail in this commercial negotiation and would inevitably suffer significant economic losses.

Since they were loyal to Li Youwei, they naturally would not agree, so they flatly refused.

But although they refused, they felt guilty because they owe too much to others.

Because of this guilt and debt, they were a little conflicted and entangled after refusing.

Faced with their rejection, the other executive was confident and directly threw out a video and more than a dozen photos, all of which were scenes of them engaging in mistresses with beautiful women, and then said that if they didn't want to see these things online, they had to cooperate...

They were stunned. Although they were not in the system and would not be punished by Dji Zhengji for such a thing, once they were posted online, their reputation and family would be ruined. At the same time, Li Youwei would never tolerate such scandals that would have a bad impact on the Chintai Group, which means that they could not continue to do it in Chintai Group.

They realized that they had fallen into the trap set by each other and were deceived, and they couldn't help but regret it.

But it’s too late to regret. I have a huge handle in the other party’s hands. This handle will ruin them and lose everything they are enviable.

Faced with the other party's demands, coercion and threats, they were in a dilemma and fell into deeper contradictions and entanglements.

Under such contradictions and entanglements, their will was shaken after thinking about it and repeatedly weighing it.

The other party saw their hesitation and wavering, and struck while the iron was hot, and asked that as long as they cooperated, they would not only keep the matter confidential, not only would they not pay more than 3 million for the gambling advance, but they would also give them another 3 million.

Compared with the huge benefits brought by the victory in the negotiations with the Zhengtai Group in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the other party's investment in them was just a drop in the bucket.

With the other party's use of both soft and hard work and kindness, they felt that they had no way out and could only agree.

So they did as each other's request...

When doing this, they were extremely uneasy and guilty, but they were powerless and helpless.

After getting what they wanted, the other party did not give up. The day before they returned to Jiangzhou, they gave them another piece of content and asked them to go back to report to the group according to this.

They did this to use this to confuse Li Youwei, and obviously to take the absolute initiative in negotiations with the Zhengtai Group and obtain the greatest benefits.

Chen Tao, Niu Zhiqiang and Lin Jianjun were already firmly controlled by the other party at this time, and there was no other choice except to do what they asked.

So after finishing the inspection and returning to Jiangzhou, they reported to Li Youwei according to the other party's request.

As a result, in the first round of negotiations with the other party group, Li Youwei was defeated, and the Zhengtai Group lost all its initiative and was in an extremely passive and dangerous situation.

After hearing Li Youwei talk about this, Qiao Liang felt extremely shocked and extremely angry. He would never have dreamed that Li Youwei's highly trusted old subordinate fell so quickly and thoroughly for personal gain, and even betrayed the Zhengtai Group and Li Youwei.
