Since no invitation was required, the group authenticated the company name at the door and registered before being let in.
Of course, there were not that many bodyguards. Everyone except Zhao Qiang was waiting outside.
Following the street signs, everyone arrived at the venue on the second floor, only to realize that they had arrived a little late. The auditorium, which could accommodate nearly a thousand people, was already filled with many people.
The huge venue was crowded and noisy, noisier than a vegetable market!
Standing in the aisle, Li Xiucheng asked Hu Chengzhu: "Old Hu, where is the person you invited?"
It’s hard to find people in such a big venue!
Hu Chengzhu glanced around, shook his head and said: "As reporters, they will naturally enjoy special care and should be arranged in the front!
We can just find a seat and sit down anywhere! "
"Then this way, come on!" Yang Shixiong actively led a few people to sit in a row of empty seats slightly forward on the left side of the hall.
After sitting down, Li Xiucheng glanced around and found no familiar faces. He asked curiously: "What is this meeting for? Why are there so many people attending?"
Before Hu Chengzhu could answer, a man in the seat in front suddenly turned to Li Xiucheng and smiled: "This boss comes to the conference without even knowing what it is about?
It’s a bit sloppy! "
Li Xiucheng was stunned when he didn't expect to be answered by a stranger!
He wasn't angry at all, he just looked at the other person and responded: "I came here temporarily after being introduced by a friend!
Your Excellency~~Yes? "
When he said the last two words, his tone suddenly became protracted and his eyes became playful.
This man has a stocky appearance, a bit of beard on his mouth, short hair, and a bit bulging eyes. He looks more like an ordinary migrant worker working hard.
However, it is not actually the case, because he knows this person!
To be precise, in the previous life, this seemingly inconspicuous man was really famous!
After confirming who this person was, Li Xiucheng felt a strange feeling in his heart and subconsciously looked at Yang Shixiong next to him.
By coincidence, Yang Shixiong happened to look over at this time. When he received Li Xiucheng's gaze, he thought the master was asking him who this person was.
But he doesn’t know it either!
He shook his head at Li Xiucheng, and then took the initiative to ask the person in front of him: "What is this man's name?"
"I am Chang Xinglai! Tian is the general manager of Xiacheng Yuanhua Electronics Company!"
The man replied with a smile, then reached back and took out several business cards from his pocket and distributed them to everyone one by one.
Li Xiucheng reached out and took it. Looking at the three words "Chang Xinglai" shining brightly in the center of the business card, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that this world is really small!
That's right, the person in front of you is Chang Xinglai, the smuggling king who alerted the country's highest level before being eliminated in his previous life!
A person who can be called a smuggling king is naturally not comparable to Yang Shixiong, a small-time 'smuggler'.
How strong was this person at his peak?
In the next three to four years, nine out of ten cars running on Fucheng Street will be smuggled by the Yuanhua Group, as well as other mechanical accessories, professional chips and various commodities.
For example, petroleum, cigarettes, chemical raw materials, vegetable oil, communication equipment, etc. are countless!
In order to win over people and form a smuggling umbrella, this man even spent a huge amount of money to build the famous "Hong Tower" on Guanghua Road in Hushui District, Xiacheng in 1996.
Hong Lou looks ordinary on the outside, but the interior decoration is extremely luxurious!
Chang Xinglai's collection of famous wines from all over the world and the chefs invited from abroad to cook delicious food are just trivial. All kinds of beauties and various ecstatic services are the real soul!
I don't know how many "big officials" are willing to lie down in this gold-selling cave and live in a dream even though they know that this is giving leverage to the other party!
Then, this person used this huge network of connections to smuggle and make money, which caused huge impact and losses on the country's foreign trade, taxation, and the development of local enterprises!
In the case files disclosed later, there were many details that amazed Li Xiucheng!
Chang Xinglai was a farmer's boy who didn't have much education. He then smuggled himself to Xiangjiang and obtained the Hong Kong household registration. He worked hard all the way and then started smuggling into the country. In just five or six years, he built a huge family-style smuggling kingdom and became a The protagonist of one of the top ten corruption cases since the founding of the People's Republic of China deserves a lifetime of 'glory'!
And this case is known as the most important economic case since the founding of the People's Republic of China!
The total value involved in the case is as high as more than 50 billion yuan, and tax evasion is as high as more than 30 billion yuan. The number and level of corrupt public officials involved are exaggerated to the extreme!
For example, at the Xiacheng Customs in the hardest-hit area, more than 160 staff members, ranging from customs chiefs to ordinary staff, were arrested, which already accounts for about 12% of the number of customs staff!
And at the six gates, a deputy minister was dismissed!
He even entrusted his connections to Prime Minister Chu at the time, hoping to build a network of connections throughout the world!
Premier Chu, who was already aware of it at the time, directly asked him to use the money to pay taxes!
Recalling this information, Li Xiucheng couldn't help but marvel in his heart when he looked at the smiling, ordinary-looking middle-aged man in front of him.
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and sea water cannot be measured!
If he remembered correctly, the Xiamen Yuanhua Group seemed to have been established at the beginning of this year. This person should have just started developing activities in Xiacheng and coastal areas from Xiangjiang last year.
When he recalled this information, Yang Shixiong had already started chatting with Boss Chang very familiarly.
"Boss Chang is from Xiacheng and is here to attend the meeting? It's a bit far!"
"I should say close!
We are all one family, just separated by a trench! Chang Xinglai said with a smile: "What line of work do the three of you do?" "
Yang Shixiong smiled and said: "My name is Yang Shixiong, and I open a karaoke bar."
"I am a homeless person! My surname is Hu!" Hu Chengzhu answered casually.
Then it was Li Xiucheng’s turn to introduce himself!
But Li Xiucheng did not answer this question, he just smiled and shook the business card in his hand!
Although this guy will be very powerful in the future, he is still in the early stages. In addition, what this guy did is really harmful to the national interest. He is despised!
I don’t want to deal with him if I don’t have to!
This action seemed a bit impolite, but Chang Xinglai didn't seem to notice it, and still asked Li Xiucheng with a smile: "This boss is so majestic, he is no ordinary person at first glance!
Don’t know your surname? "
Seeing his perseverance, Li Xiucheng smiled and said: "Thank you, Boss Chang. Speaking of which, Boss Chang and I are also in the same industry! We are also in the electronics industry!
I don’t know whether your company is in the software industry or electronic products? "
The words were answered, but he still didn't actually say his name.
Now even Chang Xinglai, who is thick-skinned and good at sociability and understanding people's hearts, is a little helpless.
