Chapter 1910: Chapter 1910

Song Guanchao first explained the situation, then finally asked, "Is it convenient for you to handle this?"

Regardless of whether the creditor is colluding with the Guangzhou government personnel, inside and outside.

In the end, the core of the whole matter is still an economic dispute.

Looking around the world, economic disputes are always the most troublesome.

Especially since the shoeless aren’t afraid of the shod, and the fierce fear of those who don’t fear death.

The creditor has gang affiliations, people who are involved in shameless dealings.

In contrast, multinational companies want to save face and can only resolve it through legitimate channels.

But at the same time, there’s an outrageously simple way to deal with economic disputes, which is connections and status.

Chairman Yao hasn’t been able to resolve this matter yet, indicating that he currently can’t find the connections, and he also doesn’t want to spend money in vain.

Song Guanchao is not a sucker either; he asked Old Jin to handle it, essentially to make Chairman Yao owe him a favor to pave the way for future investments.

"Let me look into it, wait for my call." Old Jin, despite his rough appearance, was careful and didn’t make any rash promises.

Song Guanchao casually tossed his phone aside, realizing for the first time that Lin Wanqiu had been watching him, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Want it again?" Song Guanchao teased, tilting her chin up.

"I don’t want it." Lin Wanqiu grabbed his mischievous hand and asked, "Were you speaking Korean just now?"

Recruitment conditions for the Ministry of Propaganda’s journalists are stringent, requiring fluency in English, and more language skills would be advantageous.

Lin Wanqiu had mastered Japanese, English, and Spanish, and learned a bit of Korean, but wasn’t fluent.

Song Guanchao spoke fluently and quickly, her limited vocabulary couldn’t support her comprehension.

"Yeah, a friend in Han Country." The fact that Song Guanchao chatted so openly with Old Jin knowing Lin couldn’t understand showed his confidence.

"I’ve just realized you’re quite the scholar too." In her mind, Song Guanchao was confident and sunny, holding an inexplicable poise, remaining composed in big situations.

Suddenly showing a scholarly side, Lin Wanqiu was a bit unaccustomed.

It was like a straightforward man suddenly becoming full of crafty ideas.

After lunch, Old Jin called back.

The situation he understood was even more detailed than Cai Zixiang’s.

According to him, there was indeed a dispute over the property rights of the commercial complex Walmart signed, and it was indeed a setup.

The people behind the commercial complex were the largest gang in Guangzhou.

This gang’s current demand is money.

Their asking price is high, opening at an equivalent of 100 million RMB.

The specific amount can be negotiated.

The current problem is that Walmart is unwilling to pay, and the other party isn’t budging, putting the Guangzhou government in a difficult position.

Walmart hasn’t pulled its investment yet, because the contract is signed, without related clauses, making them very passive.

The Guangzhou government is eager, but they can’t pay this amount either.

"I see, they’re trying to double-dip after receiving rent, asking for compensation?" Song Guanchao asked.

"Your summary is quite accurate."

"Can it be resolved?"

"You owe me a drink." Old Jin said.

Song Guanchao smiled, feeling assured. This wasn’t hard for Old Jin.

The gangs in Japan and South Korea are all legal, or skirting legal boundaries non-stop.

But no matter how much they skirt, the essence is still gangs.

They aren’t afraid of local governments but don’t dare oppose the military.

The military in Han Country wields great power.

Time passed, and it was another day.

By noon the next day.

Yao Xianwang, who traveled to Gwangju, personally handling this matter, suddenly received a call from Mayor Liu, saying the matter was resolved.

The local gang leader personally stepped forward, saying it was all a misunderstanding.

The suddenness of the incident and the drastic reversal left Yao Xianwang stunned for two seconds when he received the call before asking for details.

He only confirmed Mayor Liu wasn’t joking before he inquired the specific reasons.

Their originally firm stance suddenly made a 180-degree turn; there had to be a reason.

Upon inquiry, it was discovered that the local army corps from the Command Department had contacted them.

Yao Xianwang thought it was Mayor Liu’s connections, but Mayor Liu asked if he had arranged it.

Both sides checked and were at a loss.

It wasn’t Mayor Liu, nor was it Yao Xianwang, so who arranged it?

The key was, the gang leader wasn’t sure either.

And after resolving the matter, the local corps left.

Suddenly, the issue became an unsolved mystery.

But the matter was resolved, which was worth celebrating.

Yao Xianwang stayed in Gwangju for another two days, waiting for all economic dispute cases involving the commercial complex to be cleared before leaving at ease.

He returned to Beijing, remembering Cai Zixiang had called twice to introduce an official from Jiangzhou City.

He was really exhausted during this period, his nerves taut. As he relaxed, he just wanted to rest for a few days.

So he called President Bao, gave some instructions, and asked him to contact Jiangzhou City officials, understand Jiangzhou, and report back to him.

President Bao didn’t care, as he had already met the person, and he wasn’t interested in learning about Jiangzhou.

Because he already had a person in mind for Sam’s Supermarket’s new city selection.

...

The time came to Monday, and Song Guanchao estimated Chairman Yao should have almost resolved the Gwangju affairs, so he asked Cai Zixiang to call him again and inquire.

He had been in Beijing for too long, with a pile of things waiting for him in Jiangzhou, he couldn’t stay here indefinitely.

When Cai Zixiang called, Yao Xianwang was leisurely drinking tea and reading at his home in Beijing.

For a senior executive like him, having uninterrupted time was extremely rare.

Seeing the call from Cai Zixiang, he felt somewhat displeased but still answered in a gentle and friendly tone.

Upon hearing Cai Zixiang introduce the Jiangzhou official again, Yao Xianwang was both surprised and puzzled.

He was surprised that the relationship between the Jiangzhou official and Cai Zixiang was so good that it prompted him to call three times.

He was puzzled that he had already arranged for President Bao to contact, and logically, the other side only needed to connect with Bao’s department, so why contact him?

Multinational companies have clear departmental divisions.

As a senior executive, he wasn’t a worker who could handle everything personally.

In his view, regardless of who you are, since he had already arranged it, your task was to communicate with the appropriate department.

Not to keep calling him and inquiring about progress.

However, according to Cai Zixiang, there seemed to be no contact with Jiangzhou officials.

He didn’t rush to conclude, just saying he was busy and forgot.

After hanging up, Yao Xianwang called President Bao, inquiring about the progress.

"Chairman Yao, I’ve already arranged for people to conduct due diligence in Jiangzhou, which will take about one to three months."

President Bao reported first, then continued, "The policy offered by Jiangzhou is unfavorable compared to other cities."

Suspicion filled Yao Xianwang’s mind, why did the descriptions from both sides not match?

Cai Zixiang said no contact had been made with Jiangzhou officials.

President Bao said Jiangzhou officials lacked sincerity.

Who was telling the truth? Who was lying between them?
