He won 900 million in the lottery.

Chapter 166 Shifting Winds

Just as I was making sweeping changes in the provincial capital.

Sun Ce called me and said, "The situation in Liancheng has changed."

Half a day later, Zhou Ren and Liu Wei called me from Chengdu to tell me to return to Liancheng.

NT Industrial Park.

"What's wrong? Everyone's calling me to come back?"

It was just me and Sun Ce in the office.

Sun Ce glanced cautiously out the window; the door had already been locked from the inside.

"That person has been taken away."

"Who is it?"

I still have some doubts.

"That's the biggest one in Liancheng."

Holy crap....

Is this what Hao Lixuan meant by "the ever-changing situation"?

Is this some kind of high-stakes game?

I just wanted to get something for nothing...

I called Xiaomai immediately.

"Did Hao Lixuan pick up the tea from the tea shop?"

"He took it. The first week after you left, he came to see you. I told him you went to Shanghai and left him some tea, which he then took."

Shhh...

I'm sweating buckets... Just take it.

Having learned the information three months before Sun Ce, this great figure can only be respected and not offended.

The third day after returning to Liancheng.

Hao Nian'an, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of Liancheng City, announced that Zeng Hong, secretary of the Liancheng Municipal Party Committee, had been taken away under investigation.

One stone breaks a thousand waves!

The officialdom of Liancheng has been shaken up!

This applies not only to government officials, but also to numerous businesses.

Meanwhile, the official website of the Liancheng Municipal Government also released a message regarding the temporary suspension of 14 key municipal government projects, including the Liancheng Ring Expressway, the Liancheng West District shantytown renovation project, the Liancheng NP intelligent computing power project, and the South-to-North Water Diversion Project.

In no time, all sorts of rumors were flying around!

The Party Secretary of Liancheng City is suspected of accepting bribes!

The Party Secretary of Liancheng City is suspected of buying and selling official positions!

News of this spread everywhere, and when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; Douyin (TikTok) is also filled with criticism.

Zhou family.

In order to promote Zhou Fan to power, the Zhou family, which was already facing financial difficulties, suddenly found themselves in dire straits, especially with investments in municipal projects and highways being temporarily frozen.

Zhou Fan, having just taken office, was in dire need of money.

Zhou Ren looked at me with a conflicted expression, but I felt as if I had a premonition.

"Tianyi, the Zhou family is short of money right now. Could you come up with 1 million...?"

Zhou Minyi couldn't help but chime in, "Uncle, Tianyi's NP intelligent computing power project also had 4 million yuan frozen..."

Liu Weicheng: "Minyi, don't make a sound. Your father has just taken office in the provincial capital, and things are also in turmoil. Right now, the Zhou family is doing everything they can to help him secure his position."

Zhou Minyi was helpless; she didn't know what to do.

On one side is her man,

On one side are her family and her father.

I took out cigarettes, offered one to Zhou Ren and one to Liu Weicheng, and lit one for myself.

The cigarette was quickly finished.

I made a decision: "I can contact my boss in Shanghai; I can provide 100 million, but..."

Liu Weicheng: "Let's use the shares of NP Intelligent Computing Power Company as collateral, and the Zhou family will withdraw from NP Intelligent Computing Power."

The 100 million yuan loan was originally a favor to the Zhou family, granted by Wu Lei in conjunction with the government. Now, the Zhou family is asking me to withdraw this 100 million yuan, but the loan still needs to be repaid by NP Intelligent Computing Power Company. This is tantamount to kicking someone when they're down and cutting off their lifeline.

However, all the support the Zhou family had given me in Liancheng in the past has come to an end at this moment!

"OK."

When I said that word, Zhou Ren and Liu Weicheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Minyi, however, was crying her eyes out.

I went over and wiped away Zhou Minyi's tears: "Silly girl, why are you crying!"

Zhou Minyi: "I'm sorry, Tianyi, I'm so sorry."

I hugged her and said, "It's okay. The Zhou family has already helped me a lot. I'll be going back to the provincial capital after I finish this busy period. Come visit me when you have time."

The army was defeated like a mountain.

The news that NP's intelligent computing power was related to the old man of Liancheng spread like wildfire.

Liu Junchi, Wang Muyang, Xu An, and Lin Chuan all called to inquire about the situation.

I replied to each of them: "That's the situation. As for the work stoppage time, it's still uncertain."

Liu Junchi is a private equity fund manager, Wang Muyang is a financial advisor, and Xu An and Lin Chuan are both senior executives in the institution. They bear some responsibility for the problems that arose with the project. As for the impact on them, that depends on how they make amends.

"Tianyi, tell me the truth, is there any connection between NP intelligent computing power and Zeng Hong, the Party Secretary of Liancheng City?"

"no."

I smiled wryly.

"In that case, let's wait and see."

"If you want to withdraw your funds, that's fine, but it will be considered a breach of contract on your part, and I can only pay back 60% of the principal."

"Understood, I will pass the information on to our boss."

Immediately afterwards, Chen Hangtian called.

"Tianyi, what happened? Why was NP ordered to stop work by the government?"

"I don't know, it has nothing to do with NP."

There is no way to defend oneself.

No one will listen even if I tell them.

Chen Hangtian remained silent for a long time: "Can I get my money back?"

"I've also invested 1 million with you, aren't you comfortable with this?"

"Being ordered to stop work by the government is already a very serious situation. My family has been pressing me for answers ever since they heard the news, and I can't handle this pressure. One hundred million yuan has been frozen, and I can't explain it to them."

"Are you withdrawing too?"

"Has the Zhou family also withdrawn?"

"Yes."

Chen Hangtian sneered on the other end of the phone: "The most ruthless of all are the wealthy and powerful. When it's time to make money, everyone gets a share. But when problems arise, they're the first to walk away."

I hesitated for a long time on the phone: "If you want to withdraw, I will consider it a breach of contract on your end, and the withdrawal funds will be provided by the boss in Shanghai."

Chen Hangtian couldn't help but recall the elegant woman wearing sunglasses who appeared at the Shandong wind power project.

Chen Hangtian: "You don't need to put up any funds. Just transfer some shares of your wind power project in Shandong to me. I won't take advantage of you. Let's say it's 6000 million."

"OK."

"Alright, I'll come back to Liancheng in a couple of days to complete the formalities."

NT Industrial Park.

Su Hang, Zhao Yigang, Sun Ce, Liu Dabin, Zhao Zifeng, Fourth Uncle, and Sister Hong.

"Is anyone going to withdraw their principal? I'll give you 60%, and I'll personally add another 10%."

Su Hang tried to speak several times, but seeing that Sun Ce, who had already been promoted to deputy director, showed no intention of speaking, he remained silent.

"Since things are as they were before, let's not bring up the issue of NP Capital withdrawing its shares. Let's wait until the government's work stoppage order ends before discussing it further."

However, as everyone knows.

When a municipal party secretary gets into trouble, it takes at least three or four months to issue a public notice before the case is transferred to the procuratorate. By the time everything is completely resolved, it may take up to a year.

Besides, who knows whether this project is actually unrelated to Zeng Hong, the Party Secretary of Liancheng City, as I've said.

Withdrawing the principal early, although it constitutes a breach of contract, is a timely way to stop the loss, which is much better than losing all the money.

finally.

Liancheng NP computing power project.

The Zhou family withdrew their shares worth 1 million yuan. (This will be borne by my personal net loss.)

The Chen family withdrew their shares, valued at 60 million yuan. (A 6000 million yuan investment in a Shandong wind power project, with 1% of the shares transferred.)

Liu Junchi, Wang Muyang, Xu An, and Lin Chuan all withdrew their shares, with the original principal of 8000 million yuan valued at 4800 million yuan.

At this point, 90% of the equity in the Liancheng NP project belongs to Shanghai NR Investment Company.
