Chapter 644: Zero-Sum Game 2 (Part 1)

1am

Wu Qun lay on the sofa near the window in his son's bedroom. The guests at home had not left yet, but many of the congressmen were already drunk. Wu Qun asked the servants to get them a batch of temporary lounge chairs so they could take a nap. That's fine, the congressmen don't care, because what happened tonight made many people feel uneasy, especially the lower-level congressmen.

The simultaneous deficit crisis of more than 600 enterprises in the middle and lower classes will directly affect employment, consumption and even education in the region. Although the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has released news through CBV, saying that a solution has been found, no definite information has been obtained. At that time, most of them did not plan to leave. It was very close to the National Assembly, and Wu Qun was the actual leader of several upper-level district councilors.

"I said dad, can you go out? I'm going to bed."

Wu Lei walked out of the bathroom angrily and lay down directly on the bed. He had not taken a vacation for more than two months in a row and worked until 11 o'clock in the evening. Starting today, Wu Lei plans to take a three-day vacation. Xueer also agreed, so Wu Lei came back early today.

"Hey, kid, I'm your dad. Can you really not reveal anything about me?"

Wu Lei frowned and shook his head.

"If I knew, I would tell you dad. I came back so early today. How could I possibly know? This is a secret among high-level officials. My level is not high enough."

"Work hard. Aren't you doing well in the General Affairs Department now? I've heard that there are quite a few girls who are interested in you. If you think about it, find a suitable one and get married as soon as possible. I'd be fine too. Hug the grandchildren.”

Wu Lei glanced at his father. The father and son were like this on weekdays, just like friends. There was no ordinary barrier between father and son.

"If I want to go up further, it will basically be impossible within 10 years. If I am transferred to another department, I will be reduced by 0.5 levels to become a director. Don't even think about it as a secretary. The secretaries in the executive department are more ruthless than the last."

Wu Qun shook his head with emotion. What his son said was true, but when he thought about that Le Xiao, Wu Qun felt uncomfortable because he always felt that the guy had faked his identity. But after asking his son several times, he always said that A secretary is a genius among geniuses.

Wu Qun's phone rang and he immediately picked it up.

"Why did Lao Chen have time to call me?"

"Congressman Wu, have you received any news over there?"

Wu Qun's face immediately tensed up, knowing something was wrong, but he didn't ask.

"Many of our congressmen are waiting."

Chen Qiao on the other side of the phone fell silent, and Wu Lei looked at his father in confusion. Although he didn't know what it was, if the acting department didn't announce the plan, they could only worry. Members of the acting department would leak internal information to businessmen or businessmen. It is an extremely serious matter for a member of Parliament, ranging from direct dismissal to expulsion.

After working hard in the practice department for the past few years, Wu Qun has deeply understood a truth. The entire practice department is like an extremely rigid safe. When he first became an ordinary clerk, his father warned him seriously not to reveal any information about the practice department. Things can only be disclosed when they reach a certain level, and they need to be disclosed depending on what the matter is and whether it will cause problems. Only the section chief and secretary know how to handle an economic crisis like this.

After a while, Wu Qun's expression became serious.

"Then I really can't help you much, Lao Chen. Waiting for news, I still have guests here."

Wu Qun hung up the phone. Although Wu Lei wanted to ask, he held back.

"Xiao Lei, the business department rejected the 200 million bailout funds raised by more than 30 upper-level companies. Later, Chen Qiao added another 100 million, but was still rejected. The attitude was very firm. Something big is going to happen in the city."

After saying that, Wu Qun directly turned on the phone and pressed the emergency contact button. After receiving the notification, the remaining 199 members of the 20 upper-level districts would rush to the General Affairs Section to gather. Wu Qun rushed into the bathroom to wash his face and wipe it. After cleaning, he hurriedly ran. At this time, Wu Lei on the bed had already stood up. He knew very well that it was not the time to continue sleeping. He had already changed into the white uniform of the General Affairs Department and left directly from the front door with his father.

"What do you think is going on son."

"Of course, the Executive Branch has found a solution that can come up with the bailout money and solve this problem. If it takes over the money from more than 30 large companies, it means that the Executive Branch is powerless and can only compromise in the future. For them In the past few months, everything has been done in the market, but if you refuse now, the situation will be different. After all, the methods of the business department have always been extremely tough. If you are criticized, you must fight back, and doubly so. Return it."

Wu Qun's phone rang again. After he picked it up, a hearty laughter came from the phone.

"Old Wu, it seems that Chen Qiao and his gang are about to be defeated. Should we join in the trouble? Just treat it as a favor."

Wu Qun glanced at his son who had disappeared into the alley, stopped, and walked under a streetlight, his eyes a little solemn.

"There shouldn't be any big moves for the time being. Listen carefully and don't take the opportunity to do anything. After all, with the current situation, if anyone takes action, the Business Department will definitely not let it go. After all, this is a zero-sum game. No matter who wins in the end, the sum of the benefits is zero.”

"Old Wu, we all agree. I think you should understand the principle that the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind. Why are you so timid now? Or is it because your son is in the General Affairs Department?"

Wu Qun sighed.

"It's not a question of being timid or not. Just listen to me."

"That's right. Old Wu is still smart. If there is a city meeting later, remember to submit an application for us to attend."

Wu Qun hung up the phone. Originally, this was a good opportunity. As long as the businessmen behind Wu Qun made efforts and the members of their faction made efforts together, Chen Qiao and his gang would be in trouble.

For so many years, Wu Qun has been very careful in doing things, especially in the upper level, because he knows that the four words "walking on thin ice" and that water will overflow when it is full. The businessmen who have relied on Wu Qun have trusted him immensely over the years because Wu Qun can clearly distinguish which piece should be taken and which piece should not be taken. The businessmen have been smooth sailing over the years.

In the past year, Wu Qun has noticed something very interesting since March this year. Chen Qiao and his gang are suppressing the supply chain. The company originally didn't need these raw materials, but they spent money to buy materials that can flow for a long time on the market. They called it building a diversified industry for the subsidiary, but in fact they were suppressing the supply chain, including the previous Sanlian Company. The amount of food that can be received in the past year has dropped sharply. Although these things seem to have nothing to do with each other, everything is clear when the stock market crisis broke out today.

Everyone is not a fool, and the Operation Department is not a fool. Their approach makes the materials needed by small and medium-sized enterprises in the market flow very slowly. This will not only cause vicious competition, but will also drag down these small and medium-sized enterprises bit by bit, making their products lose competitiveness.

It's just that Wu Qun is worried about one point now, the illegal mechanical products flowing from the upper level. Many companies behind this point are privately involved, but in name it is the autonomous behavior of black craftsmen. Now Wu Qun is most worried about this point. He is very worried that if the Operation Department finds evidence and explodes this point, everyone will have a hard time.

Wu Qun took out his phone and dialed a number directly.

"Tell the black craftsmen under your command to destroy all sales materials and bring all raw materials directly to the company overnight."

"What happened to Old Wu?"

Wu Qun said worriedly.

"Don't ask too much. When have I ever failed to speak?"

"I know. I'll do it right away and notify others."

Wu Qun breathed a sigh of relief and continued to run slowly. He was still a little worried.

"I hope what I'm worried about won't come true!". m.
