Chapter 275: Difficult to handle After Ning Weidong made his outrageous remarks, this time he did not immediately encounter any opposition. The plainclothes old man said calmly: "Since you said so, you must have your own theory." Ning Weidong was surprised, but he had already prepared an explanation. Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he must show himself. "I'm not exaggerating when I say this." Ning Weidong said calmly, "I'm not turning a blind eye to the powerful combat capability of the Speed Alliance Army, but in the final analysis, each military branch must serve the overall strategy. In the past, the strategic direction of the Speed Alliance was in Europe, and the army was undoubtedly the core of the entire strategy..." The old man in plain clothes nodded slightly. Ning Weidong continued, "But as Moscow gave up its goal of liberating Western Europe by force and turned to competing with America worldwide, the Speed Alliance Army has lost its position as a strategic core. Just like this time when they deployed troops in Afhan, although they were the army, they were serving the navy. Their purpose was to open up the Indian Ocean and find an outlet for their Indian Ocean fleet." The two old men in military uniforms frowned. Although they felt it was a bit far-fetched, they did not interrupt the debate. Ning Weidong spoke more and more smoothly: "Against this background, coupled with their increasingly serious bureaucratic style, the plight of the third and fourth line troops stationed in remote areas of the Speed Union Army can be imagined."
…… Half an hour later, Ning Weidong came out of the office. The winter sun shone on my face, and I squinted my eyes, feeling a little dazed. In the end, the old man did not affirm or disagree with Ning Weidong's statement. Fortunately, Ning Weidong never expected to gain anything with a few words. His foundation was still the political and economic resources brought by his relationship with Speedlink. Those things that are just spoken are too thin after all. Since I came here by car, there is no car to take me away when I leave. Ning Weidong walked on his own. Fortunately, the distance was not too far, and it didn't take him long to get back to the company. I originally wanted to go see Bai Fengyu today. The last time I came back, I helped Bai Fengyu find a house for the staff of the Normal University. She should have moved there by now. However, having just met that person today, Ning Weidong doesn’t dare to run around everywhere. When Zhao’s father comes out, he will probably look for him. Ning Weidong waited until almost getting off work in the afternoon, and it was already dark outside, but he still didn't receive a call. He was not disappointed, but rather felt somewhat fortunate. At this time, the best news is that no one is looking for him. Ning Weidong looked at his watch and was about to pick up Zhao Ruyu after get off work, but at this moment he received a call. "Hello?" Ning Weidong picked up the phone, thinking that it was finally a call from Zhao's father after a day's delay, but he didn't expect that it was Li Yuanchao's voice that came. "Brother Yuan Chao~" Ning Weidong called out with a smile. Li Yuanchao asked: "Let's have dinner together tonight?" "Okay~" Ning Weidong said, "I just have no idea what to eat~" The two made an appointment, and Ning Weidong called Zhao Ruyu again to ask her if she wanted to join them.
Zhao Ruyu was a little unhappy. She had wanted to spend some time alone with Ning Weidong tonight, but someone interrupted her plan again. He said angrily: "Forget it, I won't go, you guys eat~" Ning Weidong could tell that she was unhappy, so he coaxed her for a few words before hanging up the phone, going downstairs and driving to find Li Yuanchao. …… The Gregorian New Year is just a few days away. Snowflakes were floating sparsely in the sky and were immediately blown away by the wind when they fell on the road. Ning Weidong drove to the place where he had agreed to meet with Li Yuanchao, and happened to pass by Fuchengmen. On Fuchengmennei Street, when he first traveled through time, a three-story building had already been built on the demolition site, and it was said that they were going to build a fifth floor, but construction had stopped after winter. When Ning Weidong saw this, he felt as if he was in another world. Looking further to the north, a familiar figure passed by the entrance of the familiar alley. It seemed to be Aunt Lu. She was holding a plate in her hand and picking up a piece of tofu from the tofu stall at the intersection. In a flash, the car had passed the entrance of the alley. Ning Weidong glanced at the rearview mirror and watched the entrance of the alley getting farther and farther away. Soon it arrived near Fuchengmen. While waiting for the traffic light, I happened to see a commuter bus from the Red Star Factory. The red light turned green, and Ning Weidong passed other cars on the road and drove straight through the intersection. Ten minutes later, he arrived at the hotel where Li Yuanchao had agreed to meet. The two of them were almost one after the other. Ning Weidong had just gotten out of the car when he saw Li Yuanchao's car approaching. After stopping and waiting for a while, Li Yuanchao came out of the car, immediately came over with a laugh and gave me a bear hug. "Brother, you are so awesome this time!" Li Yuanchao was much more enthusiastic than before when he saw Ning Weidong again, and his eyes were full of spirit when he spoke. Most people don’t know about Ning Weidong’s deeds in Sulian, but Li Yuanchao is not an ordinary person, so he knows something about it. Especially since Ning Weidong went to Moscow this time and met with a figure of Chirnenko's level, it was amazing. This meant that Ning Weidong became a legend overnight among the children from the compound. After some simple politeness, Ning Weidong looked up at the building next to him and asked, "What's so particular about this?" Li Yuanchao said, "There is a Huaiyang cuisine chef in the cafeteria of the Institute of Electronics. He teaches apprentices and takes care of his parents. He rarely cooks." Ning Weidong said with a smile, "So awesome? I must try it today." The two of them walked into the building while talking. Li Yuanchao was not very familiar with this place, so after entering, he asked someone to call the manager of the guesthouse. She was a pretty woman in her thirties. No one knew her background, but she acted neither humble nor arrogant in front of Li Yuanchao. When they arrived at a small private room, the woman left and only two people were left. Li Yuanchao winked at Ning Weidong and said in a low voice, "The person just now was the mistress of a big brother in our courtyard~" Ning Weidong suddenly realized, but he was not very interested in exploring other people's privacy. However, since Li Yuanchao took the initiative to talk about it, he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he said a few words along the way and interrupted the dish serving.
Because there were only two people, Li Yuanchao did not prepare a grand banquet. Only six dishes were placed on the 8-person table. The dishes were served two at a time, then two at a time, a total of three times. Because the dishes were being served, the two of them just chatted and drank until the dishes were served and the door was closed. Li Yuanchao took the wine bottle and filled Ning Weidong's glass, and began to ask: "Brother, now that you have returned from Sulian, do we need to rush to that factory?" Of course, Ning Weidong also wanted to push forward the electronics factory that he was cooperating with Li Yuanchao, but Li Yuanchao was not very enthusiastic about it before. Even though Ning Weidong took the initiative to invest money and Li Yuanchao's attitude was more positive, in Ning Weidong's opinion, the progress of the factory was still too slow. However, before this, Ning Weidong had focused all his energy on Sulian, trying his best to open up channels with Sulian. In comparison, the electronics factory didn't get any attention. When he came back this time, the overall situation on the Sulian side had already been decided, and Ning Weidong had already planned to talk to Li Yuanchao. Unexpectedly, before he could move, Li Yuanchao came first. Ning Weidong said: "Brother Yuanchao, what you said, whether the progress of the factory can move forward depends on you." Li Yuanchao laughed dryly and felt awkward for a moment. Before this, he really didn't expect that Ning Weidong could achieve such amazing results in Speedlink. Ning Weidong had told him before that he could use spare parts from Dongyang to assemble electrical appliances and then sell them to Sulian. Although Li Yuanchao saw that there were huge benefits involved, he was not optimistic about the implementation of this matter because there were too many obstacles and uncertainties. Especially at Speedlink, the old mule is not so easy to talk to. No one expected that Ning Weidong's trip would actually break the "sky" and he went straight from the Far East to Moscow. When Li Yuanchao heard the news, he was stunned for a long time. He asked twice before confirming that it was true. However, Li Yuanchao was also a talented person of the time. After confirming the situation, he immediately made adjustments. He knew that after Ning Weidong established reliable connections at Sulian, his previously seemingly fantastic plans had become quite feasible. He must seize the opportunity, otherwise there will be many people lining up to take his place. This is what is called, different times, different circumstances. Ning Weidong certainly welcomed this change. He never had any other thoughts about cooperating with Li Yuanchao. Although Ning Weidong has taken the initiative on the scene at the moment, this does not affect the resources controlled by Li Yuanchao. Li Yuanchao was afraid that Ning Weidong would push him away at this time. After confirming Ning Weidong's attitude, Li Yuanchao heaved a sigh of relief and raised his glass, saying, "Brother, as your elder brother, I want to toast you..." Ning Weidong raised the cup and took it, but Li Yuanchao's next words made his expression change slightly. Li Yuanchao said: "However, in Handong Province... we may encounter some resistance." Ning Weidong frowned, put down his wine glass and said, "Brother Yuan Chao, what rumors have you heard?"
Li Yuanchao said: "My second brother-in-law mentioned this at a meeting in Beijing a few days ago." Ning Weidong knew that Li Yuanchao's second brother-in-law was not in Handong, but in the neighboring Shanghai. Li Yuanchao continued, "Since the end of last year, the South has become more and more blatant, almost semi-public, isn't it just testing the attitude of the higher-ups~" Ning Weidong certainly understood the game involved, and his expression was somewhat solemn. At this point, Li Yuanchao sneered, "What do you think the central government will do with this kind of test?" Ning Weidong said: "Is there any need to ask? I will definitely destroy it." Li Yuanchao pursed his lips: "Tsk~that's the problem." Ning Weidong asked, "Are you afraid of being implicated?" Li Yuanchao said: "It's not me who is afraid, it's someone else who is afraid." Ning Weidong frowned, understood what Li Yuanchao meant, and asked, "Did someone from Handong find your house?" Li Yuanchao nodded. Ning Weidong said, "What's the story?" Li Yuanchao said: "My second brother-in-law's classmate is now working in the Economic and Trade Commission of Handong Province. His father-in-law is the leader of the public security procuratorate there." Ning Weidong was startled and thought that things might be difficult in Handong. (End of this chapter)
