The dinner on New Year's Eve is a New Year's Eve dinner for the whole family to reunite.
They usually pick up anecdotes and discuss plans to visit relatives and friends, and few people talk about work.
But Yuan Wanzhi didn't do this.
She had just sent Xiao Cuo away, and after warning her sister-in-law and fourth child unceremoniously, she immediately used a questioning tone to ask Xiao Tianlu, who had just gone to work in a city in the south of the Yangtze River, if he could go with Shang Weimin. Very close.
Xiao Tianlu was stunned for a moment.
Then he instinctively frowned and asked with displeasure: "When I was in the army, I had a good relationship with the merchant. After I went to Jiangnan, I got very close to a core disciple of the merchant. Is there anything wrong? Or has it brought harm to the Xiao family? Or offended the prestige and interests of your Xiao family master?"
His current attitude.
It is no longer the "awe" attitude towards Yuan Wanzhi that Xiao Cuo had when he first came home.
Just because Yuan Wanzhi is too lenient!
It is true that she is the head of the family.
Xiao Tianlu is still the former head of the family, and he is the eldest son of the second generation of the Xiao family, isn't he?
Mr. Xiao frowned and opened his mouth to scold Mr. Xiao. He should pay attention to his attitude when talking to the head of the family.
Although Mr. Xiao didn't know why Yuan Wanzhi suddenly mentioned this matter, he only knew that he had to stand up for the new head of the family who was personally appointed.
"Dad, please don't say anything yet."
However, Yuan Wanzhi glanced at Mr. Xiao in time and signaled with her eyes.
Mr. Xiao lowered his eyes and picked up the tea cup.
"Brother, of course I didn't say that your association with Shang Weimin brought bad things to my Xiao family. Nor did I say that your association would offend the prestige and dignity of the head of my family."
Yuan Wanzhi still had an objective and cold tone: "The reason why I care about your dealings with Shang Weimin is because after you came back last night, you told our dad that when you went to visit Mr. Shang, Shang Weimin returned home. Merchant, you hit it off immediately and had a great conversation. The two of you also often discuss current economic, political and military topics at home and abroad on the phone. The key is that you said that Business for the People will help you smoothen the relationship with Kimchi and strive for You, the secretary of a certain city in the south of the Yangtze River, went to Three Star Company to visit and study."
"yes."
Xiao Tianlu had a straight face and a stiff tone: "Business for the people is one of the absolute core of business, and it is also our envoy in Kimchi. We discussed these issues after we hit it off. He helped me, the regional secretary, to visit and study in internationally developed companies. Is there something wrong?"
Yuan Wanzhi did not answer his question, but just asked a nephew to bring over today's newspaper.
soon.
Today's mass daily was placed on the table.
Yuan Wanzhi turned to the economic section.
The index finger of his left hand, as green as green onion, pointed at the three-star TV, the news about competition for government procurement: "Dad, eldest brother, third and fourth, have you all read this news report?"
Mr. Xiao and others all nodded.
Paying attention to TV and newspaper news every day is a required course for every official.
"I also watched it in the morning. But at that time, my mind was full of Zhuzhu's things, and I ignored a very critical issue. I just waited for Zhuzhu's mood to stabilize, and on the way home, I saw something on the side of the road. When the young people were singing karaoke, they suddenly realized something."
Yuan Wanzhi pointed at the newspaper and explained: "As you all know, I have been working in the Planning Commission (the predecessor of the National Development and Reform Commission) over the years. Although I do not hold important positions, I do know a little about economics."
Then what?
What did you suddenly realize?
It’s so mysterious!
Xiao Tianjin, who had a gloomy face, sneered secretly and lit a cigarette.
"Three Star Group is trying to monopolize our future TV market through government procurement."
This is what Yuan Wanzhi suddenly realized.
Xiao Tianjin paused while smoking, and said, "Is this normal? Besides, the foreign brands that want to bid for government procurement do not only have three stars. The three stars are even advertised in newspapers, and there is no hiding. Tuck it in. As for monopoly or non-monopoly, it doesn’t matter. After all, we are decades behind overseas countries in terms of high technology. The TV market with high technological content will be monopolized by foreign brands, and there is nothing we can do about it. "
"You're right."
Yuan Wanzhi changed the topic: "But! No matter how backward our high-tech products are, no one is willing to let foreign brands monopolize our future market and further suppress our similar industries! Three stars are listed in such a high-profile manner. The newspaper is very consistent with the mentality of poor people suddenly getting rich in Kimchi Country. I also want to use this article to hijack some domestic forces that advocate three-star technology and help them encourage the success of competitive procurement."
Her analysis makes sense.
Mr. Xiao and several others looked thoughtful.
But Xiao Tianlu, who was removed as the head of the family and was naturally disgusted with Yuan Wanzhi, just smiled faintly.
“If you shoot a bird with a gun, it will jump high.”
Yuan Wanzhi said: "Three stars with such a high profile will definitely attract great attention from relevant units! Brother, you may not understand this when you just go to the local government, but will Shang Weimin not understand? He obviously understands, but Why did he not only help to arrange for you to go to Three Stars for inspection and study after we met you, a local city leader who had been transferred from the army to a high-level position, but also talked with you about issues including military issues?"
Um?
Are you saying that there may be something wrong with Shangweimin! ?
Xiao Tianlu and others finally realized something suddenly.
She was even more surprised that Yuan Wanzhi had analyzed and deduced this based on the newspaper and the conversation she heard last night.
But right away.
Xiao Tianlu said slowly: "Haha, Wanzhi. What is the status of Jiangnan merchants in China, and what is the position of merchants for the people now? You, the head of the family, must also know very well. Do you think the above analysis of this aspect is not enough for even a wealthy family like yours?" Can’t even the head of the family compare?”
"I didn't say that. What I just said is just my personal guess."
Yuan Wanzhi closed the newspaper and said to Xiao Tianlu: "As the head of the family, I stand in the interests of the whole family and for the sake of safety. I ask you, brother, to cut off personal contact with Shang Weimin immediately! In particular, you must never have any contact with him again. Make phone calls and talk about our military problems.”
"Just because of your baseless analysis, you asked me to cut off contact with Shang Weimin, who I fell in love with at first sight? It was even more subtle, insinuating that one of the core disciples of the merchant might be a spy or something. Ha. "
Xiao Tianlu laughed: "Yuan Wanzhi, are you too lenient? Or do you think you have become a detective? Or maybe you are possessed by Cui Xiangdong and become a chess piece of heaven. How dare you not care about the relationship with the merchant?"
"Whatever you say."
Yuan Wanzhi said coldly: "You just need to know and do what I say unconditionally."
"Ha, haha! Master Xiao, you are so majestic!"
The resentment that his position as head of the family was snatched away by his brother and his wife had been simmering in Xiao Tianlu's heart for too long.
Now it breaks out.
He slammed the table, stood up, and shouted: "Yuan Wanzhi! What if I don't follow your order?"
Faced with Xiao Tianlu's slap on the table, his stern scolding, and the sarcastic looks from his sister-in-law and others, Yuan Wanzhi picked up the water glass and drank without even raising her eyelids.
Mr. Xiao spoke slowly——
The voice was cold: "If you don't follow Wanzhi's orders, then you can self-exile from the Xiao family."
