"A broken watch can only cost dozens of dollars at most. Why are you so reluctant to part with it?"
Zhang Jiaqiang laughed and said, "Even if I wanted to give it to you, your wrist wouldn't be able to hold it. It might break all the bones in your body!"
The guy glared and said, "I'm telling you clearly, I want this watch today. If you give it, I'll let you go. If you dare to say no, you two won't be able to live with this case outside!"
Zhang Jiaqiang didn't have the patience to nag him anymore, so he took out his phone and called Lao Zhou directly.
"You always ask me to invest, but things are almost in chaos here. Some people are openly selling trolls on the street, there is a fight in the restaurant, and a few security guards come and want to rob me, and they also want my watch. They’re crazy, they’re all crazy, you really have to treat them well this time!”
After hearing this, Lao Zhou remained calm and said in a deep voice, "You ask their captain to speak!"
Zhang Jiaqiang turned around and asked, "Who is the person in charge of your team? Come and answer the phone!"
The guy sneered, "It's no use looking for someone, I don't want to do this at all!"
After saying that, he raised his hand and grabbed the phone, "Hey, who are you? What's your relationship? Which unit are you from? Why are you looking for our captain?"
"My name is Zhou Lusheng, and I want your captain to answer the phone!"
The guy turned to look at his companion, "Who is Zhou Lusheng? Does it sound so familiar?"
"Hey, who of you knows Zhou Lusheng..."
The security guards who were busy immediately fell silent, and a captain said with a surprised look on his face.
"The new chief director in our city is named Zhou Lusheng. Who the hell is pretending to be director Zhou?"
The captain snatched the phone away, "Hey, I'm warning you, it's not a small crime to dare to impersonate our Director Zhou..."
A young man's voice came from the phone, "You are Captain Wang, I am Secretary Zhao. It was really Director Zhou who was talking just now..."
Captain Wang had just replaced Captain Gao and had met Secretary Zhao during a meeting. This voice was absolutely correct.
Captain Wang's hand holding the phone began to tremble.
"I said Captain Wang, the investor you want to arrest is Mr. Zhang, the investor invited by Director Zhou. You must enforce the law impartially and not let a bad person go, and you are not allowed to unjustly accuse a good person. As for those things that involve cheating, you must resolutely put an end to it." , that’s it, Director Zhou is very angry now, after finishing the matter at hand, hurry up and escort Mr. Zhang to Yinzhou, and also reflect on yourself!"
Captain Wang nodded and hunched over after listening to the phone call, already covered in cold sweat, and respectfully returned the phone to Zhang Jiaqiang.
"Mr. Zhang, I will arrange for you to have a rest right away. We will go to Yinzhou immediately tomorrow morning. Do you think there is anything else you want to explain?"
Zhang Jiaqiang waved his hand, "It's nothing else, as long as you don't take away my watch!"
Captain Wang turned to look at the guy just now, "You have been dismissed from your post. Come back to me immediately and explain clearly..."
Those two guys were so frightened just now that their faces were pale and their bodies were as white as chaff.
Captain Wang personally drove Zhang Jiaqiang back to the guest house.
On the way, he insisted on changing them to the most upscale hotel, but Zhang Jiaqiang refused because he was unwilling to go through the trouble.
The most upscale hotel in this place may not be that good, so it might as well be a one-night stay.
Zhang Jiaqiang asked, "Does things like today happen often?"
Captain Wang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How is it possible? Our security in Heishui Town is very good. This kind of emergency is unprecedented..."
Zhang Jiaqiang immediately lost interest in talking and began to close his eyes to rest.
Early the next morning, a group of people arrived in downtown Yinzhou under the escort of police cars.
Zhang Jiaqiang had no intention of meeting Lao Zhou first, so he directly asked Captain Wang to help find a higher-end hotel and settle him down first.
After washing, he immediately contacted Jiang Xinxin and asked about the land auction.
"Humph, Brother Jiaqiang, do you still have me as your sister in your heart?"
"It sounds like I have no conscience. Why don't I contact you as soon as I arrive in Yinzhou!"
"Don't come here. If it wasn't for business, you would never call me!"
Zhang Jiaqiang patiently comforted her and finally managed to coax this arrogant girl.
Jiang Xinxin angrily talked about the auction.
What Zhang Jiaqiang didn't expect was that after the delay he proposed last time, the land that originally had very little competition actually had many more opponents.
Moreover, these are all wealthy and their gestures are very positive.
Zhang Jiaqiang frowned and asked which companies there were.
Jiang Xinxin said, "I won't talk about those small fish and shrimps. Your Ludong Investment Company and Violet Beijing Investment Company, these two giants are enough for you to see!"
Zhang Jiaqiang secretly laughed in his heart, as expected, Violet was going to interfere with this.
I'm afraid that they will get involved in any project that I participate in in the future, and even if I have no intention, it will definitely cost me more.
What also surprised him was that Lian Mingyou also wanted to take action, but he didn't know whether he was deliberately causing trouble or if he really wanted to invest in Yinzhou.
Now seeing all the old and new grudges coming together, Zhang Jiaqiang decided to deal with it carefully and win the land at the minimum cost.
The two chatted for two hours, summarizing some details, and then hung up the phone.
It was still early, so Zhang Jiaqiang decided to go out for a walk and tasted local specialties outside at noon.
Without alerting others, he strolled out by himself and walked along the main road to get a feel for the cityscape of Yinzhou.
This was the first time he went out alone in the past month or two. Watching the pedestrians passing by him on the street, he felt that he was back to the past. He didn't have to put on pretense or estimate his image, and suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable all over his body.
After buying a pack of cigarettes from a roadside shop, he found out that the most prosperous place in Yinzhou was the ancient street next to the canal.
There are all kinds of snacks and various folk customs abound.
Zhang Jiaqiang decided to go and have a look, and raised his hand to hail a red-faced car, "Master, please go to the ancient street!"
"Okay, but our car can't go directly to the ancient street. We can only get off at an intersection and walk less than a hundred meters!" said the dark and thin driver.
Zhang Jiaqiang nodded and said, "It's okay to walk a few steps. I can eat more in a while. Master, I heard that there is a lot of chaos in Heishui Village, but our Yinzhou City looks quite peaceful. What's going on?"
In an era before the Internet, the best way to go to a strange city to find out the inside story was from a taxi driver.
They know almost everything about the local area and know almost everything except their bankbook password.
Moreover, they are very talkative during the boring journey, and sometimes they will chat with you for a long time without even asking.
Zhang Jiaqiang said as he took out the box of cigarettes, opened it and handed one to the driver, then took one in his mouth and started smoking.
The driver was not polite and immediately started chatting.
"How can Blackwater Village be compared with the urban area? You have never been there. If you go, you will be so scared that you will never dare to go there again in your life!"
"Ever since the Blackheads and his son moved in, things have become lawless..."
