Rebirth of Minister Qi

Chapter 387 News from Hometown

The children of some high-ranking officials go much further. Their methods are more sophisticated, and completely legal under current laws.

For example, under the background of the shareholding reform of state-owned enterprises, the children of some officials would buy some state-owned enterprises at a low price without spending a penny. They had the influence to obtain full loans from banks. Then, after the economy developed for one or two years, they would increase the purchase price tenfold and sell them again, and then pay off the bank loans. All in all, they could make hundreds of millions or even billions of profits.

During this period, the leader doesn't even have to say a word. All he needs to do is for his children to sit in the bank president's office, and everything will fall into place.

Therefore, in the eyes of some officials with great influence, bribery and corruption are very low-level practices. Only those cadres with no future do this. They can find many loopholes within the rules and make ten or a hundred times more money than from bribery, and become the bourgeoisie.

Qi Tongwei is well aware of these tricks, and he also knows that these tricks may not be tolerated by the people in the future. Even if there is no legal punishment for the time being, the law will gradually be standardized in the future. By that time, this money will become a huge obstacle to his advancement.

He only gave himself two ways to make money, one is royalties, and the other is the natural appreciation of real estate. Qi Tongwei does not intend to use other methods. Qi Tongwei also plans to give all the shares of Qi Group to his sister Qi Ning.

At this stage, Qi Tongwei does not need to buy a car, as the organization will always provide him with a car and a driver. He also does not plan to buy stocks, as those are too tricky, and if he makes too much money, it will bring him a lot of trouble.

"Brother Tongwen, I am very happy that you can say that.

When doing business, you just follow the rules. I won’t get involved or say hello.

If your product is good, they will buy it. If your product is not good, they will not want it.

My brother and sister-in-law will welcome you tonight, so let’s not talk about work today.”

Qi Tongwen nodded. He also knew what his cousin meant. His cousin's future was now the foundation for the development of the entire Qijiazhuang. Even if he hadn't said a word, the direction of development was now determined by Qi Tongwei alone.

According to the analysis of the elders, Qi Tongwei might hold a high position in the capital in the future, so his family members must not hold him back.

"Well, since I'm in your territory, I'll follow your arrangements.

I won’t visit clients today.”

Qi Tongwei was very happy when his relatives came over, but he did not book a hotel. Instead, he asked his neighbor, criminal policeman Lao Shen, who lived in the family compound, to help buy some vegetables and have him work as a chef part-time. Lao Shen's cooking was delicious, and this was his biggest hobby.

Neither Qi Tongwei nor Zhang Ruonan are capable of preparing a table full of delicious dishes. They can only make some simple dishes like fried eggs with tomatoes and two vegetables. They are at a loss for a local seafood feast and can only ask for help from outside.

Fortunately, Qi Tongwei lives in a warm police station staff compound, where his neighbors are all old subordinates and old friends. He doesn't have to worry about his life at all. Often, when the couple doesn't eat in the cafeteria, they take turns eating at their neighbors' homes.

Qi Tongwei also used this method to build closer relations with his subordinates in the Public Security Bureau, making them feel that they were still Secretary Qi's confidants. Otherwise, Secretary Qi would run to their homes after work and eat their home-cooked meals instead of eating at a big hotel.

Qi Tongwei returned to the family compound and called Jiang Daqiang and Li Bo, two people from Handong, to accompany him.

"Brother Wen, let's go. We are both from Handong Lincheng. It's rare that we can meet here."

Zhang Ruonan was preparing some home-cooked dishes in the kitchen, which was all she knew how to do, and they were not tasty. She insisted that her cousin was coming and as the hostess she had to show off her cooking skills. Qi Tongwei had no choice but to let her do what she wanted.

"So, the two brothers are from Lincheng. Like Tongwei, they are from the Lincheng Public Security Bureau."

Both of them said yes.

Qi Tongwei took the initiative to add more wine to his cousin's glass.

“They are both my capable men, and I specially transferred them here from Handong.

I don't know what the security situation is like in Lincheng now?"

Qi Tongwen took a sip of wine and exhaled loudly.

"Ha, this wine is good, give me some more.

Tongwei, now that you are here, you don't have to worry about Lincheng.

Our village paid for the police cars and equipment for the police station in our village. It’s still relatively good in the countryside.

But the situation in the city is very average. I heard that the new batch of leaders of the Public Security Bureau only drink and eat, and do nothing."

Only then did Qi Tongwei realize that the leadership of the Public Security Bureau had been changed.

"Where is the former Director Zhou? Director Zhou is still very hardworking, right?"

Jiang Daqiang obviously knows more about the situation and he has more contact with Lin Cheng’s old colleagues. This is a psychological bias.

Although Qi Tongwei had only been away from Lincheng for two years, in fact, his memory was more than 20 years away from the Lincheng Public Security Bureau's Anti-Drug Team. In his memory, those people were already very distant, so he didn't have much contact with them.

Only a few people with whom I have a particularly good relationship, such as Jiang Daqiang, Li Bo and the former detachment leader Huang Xiaobin, are still in contact. The others don't even write letters.

"Secretary, Director Zhou has gone to the Provincial Procuratorate to serve as deputy chief prosecutor. He is about the right age now, and he will retire after completing this term.

I heard that the Provincial Procuratorate had transferred a very difficult executive deputy procurator general. This person was extremely annoying. He always targeted Director Zhou and made a big deal out of very small matters. He loved engaging in political struggles the most.

Some people in the provincial procuratorate have lost their focus on work because of the new chief procurator."

Qi Tongwei stopped talking. He knew that the person who liked to exaggerate and engage in political struggles on everything must be Chen Yanshi, the former director of the Jingzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau. This old man did not want to properly safeguard economic development, but was only obsessed with political struggles. He thought that everyone else was evil and that he was the purest party member.

After getting rid of this group of colleagues in the Procuratorate, he was still complacent and said that he had driven out all the corrupt elements and purified the ranks of the struggle. Then he supported cadres who were just like him, with abnormal brains. This old guy had made his living by rebelling in the past, and any leader would regard him as an unstable factor.

The main political theme at this stage is to stabilize the economic development and enrich the people's pockets first. He is still holding on to the old ways from decades ago, so naturally no leader will like him.

Qi Tongwei knew that this position of Executive Deputy Prosecutor General was the end of Chen Yanshi's career. Once he retired, he would continue to make trouble, show his presence, and demand privileges from others.

However, he is out of reach and cannot control Handong's affairs now. Otherwise, he would definitely tear off the mask of this hypocritical person.
