Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

The soybeans have been harvested, processed into soybean oil, and shipped back to the country for sale.

“No problem, but I hope you can finish it as soon as possible to avoid delaying the flight.

"He Yuzhu waved his hand to signal Tommy to cooperate with the inspection.

A large box was taken down and the outer packaging was opened, revealing German words printed on it.

One of the customs officers knew some German and immediately translated it to the captain in a low voice.

The customs captain asked, “Why is it declared as soybean oil, but it is actually machinery?”

He Yuzhu pointed at the box and ordered, "Open it and take a look!"

Standing next to the box were ground staff, all of them were **. Although they could see that something was wrong today, they still strictly followed He Yuzhu's instructions.

They gently opened the lid of the box, and inside were neatly arranged cooking oil barrels. He Yuzhu then explained: "I bought these boxes, and here are the invoices.

He Yuzhu took out an invoice and said: "These boxes are very practical, they can carry a large number of oil drums, they meet the standards of air transportation, and are suitable for fixed use.

"Do you need to check more?" The customs officer was stunned for a moment. They came at the request of Boeing and suspected that there were prohibited items among the items.

I thought I had found a big problem, but I discovered it was mechanical equipment that was prohibited from transportation.

Boeing employees were also a little surprised. Although the other party was their customer, the contract had been signed and they had secured the revenue.

In order to win more orders, Boeing hopes to create some minor troubles and then have them solve them in exchange.

If the other party orders their parts again, the cooperation between the two parties will be closer, and the follow-up services from parts supply to maintenance and other services will be profitable.

In order to reduce costs, the other party can only continue to cooperate with Boeing and cannot turn to other companies.

Big customers like He Yuzhu are generally not easily offended, but it is crucial that He Yuzhu is not white.

He is from the East, so it may not be a big deal to offend him, the key lies in the binding relationship.

But the current situation is unexpected. Did the other party really transport the cooking oil back?

Why PR then?

He Yuzhu smiled slightly and asked again: "Do you need to check again? I have limited time!"

“No need, thank you for your cooperation.

“The customs officer looked unhappy and turned away.

The Boeing employee looked embarrassed, but still said: "Mr. He, please put it back, there is still time and it will not affect the flight plan.

"Well, that's true.

"He Yuzhu then extended his hand and said, "Thank you all for your help and I look forward to our pleasant cooperation.

It looked like a relaxed handshake, but in reality it was insincere.

He Yuzhu asked the workers to move the boxes back to the plane, and then he also boarded the plane.

The seats in the cargo hold are limited, and due to long-distance flights, the flight time is long, while this aircraft is mainly used for short distances with a maximum range of only more than 5,000 kilometers.

Although the range can be increased to more than 7,000 kilometers by adding auxiliary fuel tanks, refueling is still required midway.

Sitting in the cargo hold for a long time is certainly not comfortable, but He Yuzhu doesn't care about it.

The plane took off as planned, seemingly flying to Hawaii, then refueling there, flying to the island country, and then refueling again and returning home.

Although the journey was not very comfortable, He Yuzhu had a safe journey and returned home safely.

As soon as he got off the plane, he drove directly to the port.

The cargo ship arrived directly at Tianjin Port and the plane they were on landed at Tianjin Airport.

At this time, the freighter had unloaded the goods into the warehouse. After He Yuzhu arrived, he immediately exchanged equipment with the edible oil inside, then called a truck, loaded the goods and left directly.

He Yuzhu personally escorted the equipment back to Beijing and delivered it to the research institute.

Director Zhang was not aware of the whole process, but when he learned that the equipment had arrived, he ran out excitedly and saw two trucks parked outside.

"Boss He...did you buy the equipment?" Director Zhang seemed very excited.

"Director Zhang bought it according to the order. Please find a place to unload it!" He Yuzhu looked tired at this time, "I will deliver the equipment after it arrives at the port.

"Thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work..." Director Zhang could see that He Yuzhu was tired.

He Wencheng came to his father and said, "Dad, go back and have a rest first. I'll take care of it here.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you then.

"He Yuzhu nodded and went straight home.

He Yuzhu was old and was indeed exhausted this time. Fortunately, he was in good health. He did not fall asleep immediately after returning home. Instead, he got his things and drove to Huaqing Hot Spring.

I took a bath, scrubbed myself, then lay down on the recliner, covered with a towel and fell into a deep sleep.

I slept soundly and only woke up because I was hungry. I put on my clothes and drove home.

After cooking himself a bowl of hot noodle soup to fill his stomach, he continued to sleep, which made Wen Li feel distressed.

He Wencheng was scolded by her. Is it possible to have such a son?

He Wencheng didn't dare to refute, but his eyes were full of anticipation because these devices were the most advanced.

The research institute can finally free itself to conduct research!

He Yuzhu rested for two days. During this period, the institute had already paid the purchase costs. This money can be used directly in the country without having to be remitted overseas.

As the performance of overseas branches is booming, the company has sufficient foreign exchange and does not need to transfer foreign exchange back to the country.

Initially, the funds for He Yuzhu to purchase equipment were raised by Lou Xiao'e in Hong Kong Island. The process was not simple, so they reserved some foreign exchange.

Foods like Sichuan Flavor and Chef Ho’s sell in Hong Kong Island and earn Hong Kong dollars, which will naturally be stored and used to exchange Hong Kong dollars for U.S. dollars when purchasing in the island country.

Sichuan Flavor opened early in Hong Kong Island, and Lou Xiao'e also made preparations when she went south to expand the business, so He Yuzhu had no shortage of foreign exchange.

However, He Yuzhu is now a little troubled. Director Zhang is not someone who can keep secrets. After learning the news, other research institutes and some state-owned enterprises have come to him, hoping that He Yuzhu can act as their purchasing agent.

After all, there is no foreign exchange burden!

But He Yuzhu was unable to handle all the orders directly because the quantity was too large and it was impossible for him to complete it.

He Yuzhu called Director Zhang and said, "Director Zhang, why are you like this?"

Director Zhang on the other end of the phone also felt embarrassed. He knew that his quick words had led to the current situation.

Every day, many people come to He Yuzhu for help to intercede, not to mention those who come to visit him in person.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this!"

"What's unexpected about this?" He Yuzhu was very angry. "Everyone has enough equipment, especially advanced technology equipment from abroad. What do you want me to do now?"

“I have reported this matter to the higher authorities, and they will hold a meeting soon to learn about the situation in detail and then decide on the most important equipment procurement plan.

Oops, are you targeting me?

He Yuzhu is willing to serve the country, but you can't take it for granted, right?

"If you say that, doesn't that mean I'm not your subordinate?" He Yuzhu hung up the phone directly.

Director Zhang only then realized that He Yuzhu was the big boss of the group and things on their side had not been settled yet.

Director Zhang was sweating profusely. This was all trouble caused by him. Without time to think about it, he quickly put down the phone, hurriedly left the institute and went straight to the superior department.

After reporting to the superiors, the leaders also fell silent. They took things for granted and did not even ask He Yuzhu how much foreign exchange reserves he had abroad.

Doesn’t the company need funds to operate?

After thinking about it, they realized that there were many problems. They made a list hastily without thinking it through beforehand. No wonder He Yuzhu was unhappy!

After a brief moment of embarrassment, they realized that things had to go on. It was rare to find such a capable person, so they needed others to come forward to negotiate.

So they began to investigate and found that He Yuzhu had a close relationship with his predecessor. Although his predecessor had passed away, his children still had a good relationship with He Yuzhu.

So, they decided to ask for help directly!

The children of former leaders all work within the system, and they were invited to explain the situation, hoping to use their influence to speak on their behalf.

There was no objection. This was a mission from the organization and they couldn't refuse, so they came to He Yuzhu's home.

The two parties have known each other for a long time and have been friends for decades. He Yuzhu could tell their intentions at a glance.

After they came in, He Yuzhu said straight to the point: "I know your purpose. I don't have much money abroad, and the US dollars I have in reserve are only about 1 billion US dollars.

He Yuzhu did make a lot of dollars by shorting the Internet stock market in his early years, but he has transferred part of it back to China to buy land and equipment to open an agricultural company. He also purchased five aircraft. Now he does not have enough funds on hand.

In addition, overseas branches also need to develop, and some funds cannot be moved.

“If you have funds, you can give them to me. Please list the specific equipment you want to buy at one time.

"He Yuzhu continued," I will give you Hong Kong dollars according to the exchange rate and deposit it in **.

There is sufficient capital in the country, and ** is not short of it, but I have my own plans for so much money.

“I can just build a building and collect rent.

He Yuzhu reported his words to his superiors verbatim, and they expressed their appreciation for He Yuzhu's ability to come up with one billion US dollars.

So they held an emergency meeting, and the competition among departments for the equipment list was extremely fierce.

Half a month later, the list was finally drawn up. He Yuzhu asked Lou Xiao'e to verify the prices and confirm that they were correct. Then the European branch would find an agency to carry out the purchase.

However, there were no cargo planes this time because the aircraft did not have enough capacity to transport all the equipment.

Therefore, He Yuzhu asked the European branch to charter a cargo ship.

When it departed, the European equipment was exported; when it arrived in China, the imported goods were food.

Just like that, the equipment mysteriously disappeared while coming in and out.

Of course, there must be something fishy about this, but it doesn't matter, because the company is a shell company, and it will be deserted after the matter is done. You can investigate it slowly later.

He Yuzhu still had to do it himself to replace the items inside the cargo before it was loaded onto the ship, and then he flew back home.

Then, when the cooking oil from ** arrives, just swap the equipment with it.

As for how to do it, he kept it a secret.

"Xiao'e, how about we buy a piece of land in Hong Kong Island and build a branch?" He Yuzhu proposed directly after arriving in Hong Kong Island and meeting with Lou Xiao'e.

"You are helping to purchase equipment in China, aren't you afraid of being blacklisted?" Lou Xiao'e asked worriedly.

“Don’t worry, ** is full of shell companies, and the European agent uses the name of **’s shell company.

They couldn't find any traces because I had no direct contact with the company.

"He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Even if they suspect it, they can't figure out the way. I am the only one who knows the truth."

"This is a method they could never imagine!" Lou Xiao'e was curious but restrained herself from asking.

“Okay, then I’ll choose the location, after all, most of the land will be rented out, and there’s not much demand here.

"Lou Xiao'e agreed.

“By the way, airplane cargo transportation is very effective. Although there is only one airplane currently, there are many companies seeking cooperation.

"He Yuzhu said nonchalantly, "According to the plan, air transportation will be more convenient after the other three companies come back, and I will order more flights.

"Didn't Boeing cheat you? Are you still planning to continue placing orders?" Lou Xiao'e asked doubtfully.

"Did you trick me?" He Yuzhu said with a smile, "Our country currently does not have the ability to manufacture this type of aircraft and has to purchase it from abroad.

They are all similar, and for cost savings, I would still choose the Boeing.

“This can save a lot of money, there is no need to struggle with money.

These aircraft can be used for decades. When our country is capable of producing large aircraft, I will order them directly domestically.

“Now that I am one of their major customers, many things are more convenient for me, and the key is the strength of the country.

"I see.

"Lou Xiao'e nodded, "Let's choose the land in Wan Chai District. There will be an auction there soon. Do you want to go?"

The three of them drove to the auction site in a Rolls-Royce, with a BMW X5 in front and behind.

The bodyguard got out of the car and opened the door for them. He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e got out of the car and walked into the venue side by side.

The purpose of He Yuzhu's visit is to understand the situation and provide financial support if necessary.

After all, US$100 million is only worth more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars, and the funds of the Baiwei Group are indispensable.

Simply participating in the auction will cause the price of the land to skyrocket.

For example, the original price of the Bank of China Building was HK$11 billion, and its construction cost was less than HK$10 billion, but it has 70 floors.

He Yuzhu would not choose such a high level. After all, this is a product of the 90s, and now it is 2002, so its value is naturally not cheap.

After entering the venue, Lou Xiao'e greeted everyone, introduced He Yuzhu, and introduced him to the participants and the companies behind them, such as Cheung Kong, Sun Hung Kai, Henderson Land, etc., all of which are giants in the real estate industry.

He Yuzhu understood that these people who seemed to be wealthy people in Hong Kong actually concentrated most of their business in real estate.

He has no interest in their real industry, he only engages in highly profitable businesses and does not give back to society.

After the two sat down, they began to discuss the plot of land in Wan Chai District that they had their eyes on.

They are not experts in the financial industry, so there is no need for them to gather in Central or Sai Wan; Wan Chai is also quite attractive.

Moreover, they do not have much demand for their own use, and mainly use it for rental.

In Hong Kong Island, businesses change frequently, with new companies being established or closed down every day. This is normal.

The tall buildings remain the same.

As for the number of floors of the building, this was also the focus of discussion between the two.

Despite having sufficient funds, He Yuzhu was reluctant to build the building too high, firstly because of the cost issue, and secondly because of the time factor.

In the long run, high-rise buildings will be more expensive to rebuild.

In urban development, demolishing one project is enough to cause big problems!
