Chapter 329 Greed Blinds Logic! Huo Siteng is Going Crazy!
afternoon.
With a hiss, the wheels screeched together, sending up plumes of blue smoke.
The passenger plane from Hong Kong landed smoothly at Jingzhou International Airport.
The tremors from the impact and the noise of the impact jolted Kong Zhiyong awake from his deep sleep.
The moment he opened his eyes, he hurriedly reached into his coat pocket and took out a small, exquisite USB drive.
"This thing can't fall!"
"If we lose the intelligence we bought for millions, it will be a huge loss!"
"Huo Shuji was already very worried and fearful. Without the photos and videos on this USB drive to confirm that there was no major problem, he definitely wouldn't feel at ease staying in Jingzhou."
"If he can't stand living in constant fear and runs away, it will only provoke the wrath of the higher-ups, and then I will have no choice but to abandon my family and flee abroad!"
After talking with professional intelligence broker Liu last night, Kong Zhiyong was certain that Huo Siteng would be fine.
It's not just because they obtained the photos and videos in the whistleblower's materials, which only prove that Huo Siteng went abroad to a casino in Haomen without reporting it, that the problem is minor and can be explained away.
He also believed that Huo Siteng, as the secretary of Jingzhou City and the secretary of the Handong Provincial Committee, with such a high position, could not be dismissed in disgrace because of a small problem.
Moreover, Handong needs to develop a high-quality economy and deepen reforms, so it needs experienced local officials like Huo Siteng to implement tasks quickly and effectively.
To learn from past mistakes and prevent future ones, to cure diseases and save lives.
This is a major principle within the system.
As long as Huo Siteng can take the initiative to admit his mistakes, how could the five members of the Handong team, who still need him to fight on the front lines, let go of such minor errors?
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Huo Siteng himself believes that nothing will happen.
The USB drive in his hand could reassure him.
Kong Zhiyong carefully put the USB drive away from his body and then took out his phone.
"Boss, my plane has landed."
"Okay, see you at the usual place. I brought everything with me!"
After a while.
Kong Zhiyong got into a Mercedes-Benz and hurriedly left the airport.
Carrying a USB drive and a laptop, Kong Zhiyong arrived at the familiar wild pond.
Huo Siteng was fishing by the pond as usual.
But today he was clearly distracted and had no interest in fishing at all.
Kong Zhiyong had just sat down on a small stool when he was met with an eager look.
"Don't worry, it's really not a big problem."
Kong Zhiyong moved the teapot, teacups, fruits, and snacks off the small table.
Then I turned on the laptop, plugged in the USB drive, and read the data.
After demonstrating, Kong Zhiyong patiently gave an explanation.
Let's talk about the casinos in Macau first. In order to make a long-term, high-profit business, they pay great attention to protecting the privacy of their customers. They can't prevent people from taking pictures in the gaming hall, but they certainly won't allow people to install hidden cameras in the private rooms.
Then it goes on to say that Huo Siteng now holds a very high position and wields considerable power. Jingzhou, which he governs, is the provincial capital of Handong. Even a small problem would not cause him to resign in disgrace.
Finally, Kong Zhiyong analyzed the current situation in Handong, stating that in order to develop a high-quality economy and deepen reforms, it is indispensable to have local officials like Huo Siteng to do the work.
After giving a long and detailed speech, Kong Zhiyong waited silently for Huo Siteng's response.
however……
Time passes slowly.
Huo Siteng stared at the floating object, motionless, as if petrified into a statue.
Kong Zhiyong silently took out a cigarette and handed it to Huo Siteng.
Seeing Huo Siteng accept the cigarette, Kong Zhiyong immediately felt reassured.
Suppressing his inner joy, he quickly found a lighter and lit Huo Siteng's lamp.
"These are some Xiangjiang cigarettes I bought at the airport duty-free shop. What do you think? They taste alright, right?"
Huo Siteng sneered, "Not bad at all, you have no energy at all. You don't even know traditional Chinese characters, did you buy cigarettes for women?"
Kong Zhiyong frowned and said, "That's impossible, it's not a slim one!"
As he spoke, Kong Zhiyong turned the cigarette box inside out.
"If you don't believe me, why don't you light one up and try it yourself!"
As soon as Huo Siteng finished speaking, the float suddenly sank.
Huo Siteng put the cigarette in his mouth and quickly stood up, grabbing his cigarette holder.
"Damn it, I finally caught a fish!"
Kong Zhiyong had no time to smoke.
With quick eyes and hands, he immediately reached out and grabbed the net.
Seeing a large fish thrashing about under Huo Siteng's pull, Kong Zhiyong shouted excitedly:
"What a huge wild carp! It's a behemoth, boss!"
Huo Siteng did not reply.
With a cigarette dangling from his mouth and his head slightly tilted back, he happily wrestled with the giant object.
At this moment, he was no longer the secretary of the Jingzhou Municipal Party Committee, but simply a fisherman who had just won a huge prize.
Only in this secluded, rarely visited wild pond could he truly let himself go and be completely unrestrained.
After a while.
Kong Zhiyong successfully caught a rare wild carp with a golden tail and pulled it ashore with a landing net.
The big carp thrashed about a few times, then stopped moving, its mouth opening and closing.
"Now you can't move, can you?"
"Damn it, I've been fishing for over forty years, and I still can't outmaneuver you?"
Huo Siteng spat out his cigarette butt, grumbling as he squatted down to remove the fishhook.
Kong Zhiyong, who was holding down the large carp for fear it would escape, quickly asked with a fawning smile:
"This fish must weigh nearly thirty pounds, right?"
"more or less!"
"These fish scales and tail are so beautiful! If I took them home to make soup, they would definitely taste amazing!"
"What a load of rubbish! Catching such a beautiful wild carp is a stroke of luck, and you actually want to eat it? Get lost!"
For Huo Siteng, a seasoned angler, fishing is no longer about eating fish, but about enjoying the thrill of the hunt.
Kong Zhiyong, who had been scolded, suddenly seemed to realize something.
"Yes, yes, yes, such a top-quality wild carp is said to bring good fortune and wealth to anyone who sees it, how could you possibly eat it?"
"Let it go, let it go, let it continue to live freely in this wild pond!"
Huo Siteng waved his hand with a smile, showing no intention of eating the giant fish he had finally managed to catch.
"They're releasing them already? At least take a picture to commemorate it!"
Kong Zhiyong looked regretful, really wanting to capture Huo Siteng's highlight moment; it would have been even better if they could have taken a photo together.
Huo Siteng naturally wanted to take a photo with the group.
Fishermen are not afraid of wind and sun, scorching heat and freezing cold, nor are they deterred by high mountains, long roads, or mosquito bites...
Why go through all that hard work fishing just for that fleeting moment of joy after you catch a fish?
If they manage to catch a giant fish, they'd love to announce it to the whole world, and then, carrying the fish, they'd parade around town as if they were lost.
So Huo Siteng didn't want to hang the fish outside the car and parade it around in public, but he also wanted to record this rare moment of glory.
"Take photos? How? Did you bring a camera with you here?"
"Of course not, but my brother just bought a brand new Huilong 3G phone that can take photos and videos."
"What? A 3G phone? It can take photos and videos?"
"It's said to use third-generation communication technology, making the phone not only more advanced and feature-rich, but also able to surf the internet and chat on QQ online..."
Seeing that the wild carp was having difficulty breathing, Huo Siteng lost patience to listen to the introduction.
"Stop talking nonsense and get him over here so he can take some pictures of me!"
Kong Zhiyong quickly waved to signal.
A moment later, the bodyguards rushed over.
"Use your new phone to take pictures of us, hurry up!"
Although Kong Zhiyong said "we," after taking the fish out of the net, he let Huo Siteng take photos alone first, and then he shamelessly joined in for a few photos.
The bodyguard was quite considerate; he not only took many photos from various angles and distances, but also filmed a video of the two of them releasing the wild carp back into the wild.
of course.
He didn't forget to take out his SIM card, restart the phone, open the photo album, pick out Huo Siteng's best solo photo, and respectfully hand the phone to Kong Zhiyong.
"Boss, look at the photos taken with Huilong Electronics' new 3G phone, they're really pretty good!"
Huo Siteng took the phone. "Wow, it's really pretty good. I didn't expect phones to be so advanced these days!"
"Yes, and what's even more remarkable is that this is a domestically produced 3G mobile phone developed by a group of companies and organizations, led by Huilong Electronics in Handong. It's even more advanced than the latest products from international telecommunications giants like Samsung, Nokia, and Ericsson!"
Huo Siteng flipped through the photos and then looked up at Kong Zhiyong's bodyguard.
"Such memorable photos and videos can't only be viewed on a phone, right?"
"No, it can be transferred to other devices via Bluetooth, shared via QQ, uploaded to the Internet, or connected to a computer via a data charging cable, saved to the computer, and then printed out in color by connecting to a printer."
"so smart?"
"How about I use this laptop to give a simple demonstration?"
"Of course! Let me see just how advanced this latest high-tech product really is."
Soon.
Huo Siteng saw a photo on his laptop screen of himself holding a large carp in his arms, smiling happily.
Computer screens are bigger than phone screens, so naturally you can see things much more clearly.
"My God! This is fucking amazing!"
"Such a small phone, with such a tiny camera, can actually take such clear photos!"
Kong Zhiyong laughed and said, "So I have to say, Huilong Group is really amazing!"
"I thought their MP3 music player was already impressive enough, but I didn't expect their latest 3G phone to be even more advanced."
"Not only can it make and receive calls and send and receive messages, but it can also listen to music, browse the Internet, play games, and take photos and videos. The key is that the price is not very expensive."
"So what is a high-quality economy? I think this is the most typical example: researching and producing various high-tech products is definitely more profitable and more environmentally friendly than textiles, chemicals and metallurgy."
"Our Handong already has many prestigious universities and state-owned enterprises. With companies like Huilong Group leading the way in developing high-end manufacturing, I believe a high-quality economy will definitely develop..."
Kong Zhiyong's words were naturally a double entendre.
It was practically a direct message to Huo Siteng: follow the Zhao family closely in Jingzhou, and it would be difficult not to achieve political success.
Those in high positions, however, cannot easily reveal their true feelings.
Huo Siteng seemed not to hear him. After watching the video, he laughed and said, "The resolution of this video is still a bit low. It can't compare to those professional cameras."
Kong Zhiyong gave an awkward smile.
"Yes, the clarity is still a bit lacking, but professional cameras cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars and have a lot of different lenses, so the shooting effect is naturally better."
"And this phone, it seems, costs less than 3,500 yuan. That price is less than the cost of a lens for a professional camera. The effect it produces is quite good!"
