The weather in September was unusually hot, and Qian Shulan stayed in the factory all day to manage the work. When she came in the morning, she saw many hooligans gathered in groups of three or four at the factory gate. They couldn't be driven away, and besides, that was not their factory's territory, Qian Shulan had a headache.
Deputy Factory Director Liu Chunrong was a talent she specially recruited from a state-owned enterprise. He used to be the head of a state-owned enterprise, but because of a major change in his family and urgent need for money, he had to quit his golden rice bowl and start working in a private enterprise. After all, the salary in private enterprises is higher.
When Qian Shulan posted the advertisement outside, many people came to apply. In the end, she chose Liu Chunrong, who had the longest experience.
He has strong management skills, not much worse than Qian Shulan. At this moment, he is holding today's order in his hand. "This is the goods to be shipped to Shanghai today. Please take a look and sign if there is no problem. I will have my subordinates ship it out."
After Qian Shulan took over, two tons of goods were shipped to Shanghai, all of which were the latest models.
Their new products are sold in major supermarkets in Shenzhen. If the effect is good, they will be introduced to first-tier cities, followed by second- and third-tier cities. Qian Shulan also finally decided on the taste of the ham sausage after several experiments. Unexpectedly, it sold quite well.
"Okay, you go and arrange it." After Qian Shulan signed, Liu Chunrong took the list and arranged for his subordinates to ship the goods.
Qian Shulan continued to work at her desk. After more than two hours, she finally finished the work at hand, stretched, and wanted to go home for dinner.
As soon as I stood up, before I took a step, I saw Liu Chunrong with a panic-stricken face. He just barged in without even knocking on the door.
He supported the table with one hand and his knee with the other, panting, "Director, this is bad. Our car has been robbed."
Qian Shulan narrowed her eyes instantly, her face full of disbelief, "Who is so bold?"
Although the public security is very chaotic now, those people would not dare to rob in broad daylight. They are too bold.
Liu Chunrong gnashed his teeth, veins on his forehead bulged. He pounded the table and said in hatred, "It was those little hooligans. They jumped in and blocked our car on the street, breaking the glass of the cab, pulling out the drivers, taking their keys, and scattering everything in our car. Many people were like crazy and moved all our goods."
Although two trucks of goods were transported this time, their factory only had one truck.
Qian Shulan's face turned pale and she asked anxiously, "Is everything gone?"
"It's gone!" He was worried because there was a lot of cargo this time, so he followed the driver. But who would have thought that something like this would happen before he even got to the railway bureau.
Qian Shulan was so angry that her teeth itched. Looking at his bruised face, she couldn't blame him. "Are you and the driver okay?"
Liu Chunrong was very touched to see that she still cared about him at this time, but when he thought of the driver Xiao Liu, he had a bitter face, "Xiao Liu was beaten to a bloody mess and is now lying in the hospital unconscious."
Qian Shulan asked solemnly, "Have you called the police?"
"I have already reported it. I just heard some rumors." After Liu Chunrong sent Xiao Liu to the hospital, he immediately called the police. The police did come, but their attitude was very perfunctory. They even made a confession only after he urged them. It was obvious that they were shirking their responsibilities. Later, when he returned to the car and heard other people's discussions, he realized that they might not be able to get justice this time.
Qian Shulan's eyebrows knitted together, "What rumor?"
Unlike Qian Shulan, Liu Chunrong knew much more about the facts in the officialdom than Qian Shulan. Qian Shulan had always refused to bribe the superiors before, and Liu Chunrong was always worried that someone from the higher-ups would cause trouble for him. Sure enough, this time someone really came to him. He pursed his lips and said, "I heard that the gangster who led the robbery this time has a complicated background and is related to the higher-ups."
"What relationship? Be more specific." Qian Shulan's face was as dark as ink. She had always thought that most officials in this era were good, but it turned out that there were still one or two bad apples. She didn't want to bribe officials before because she knew it was illegal, and she couldn't get over it psychologically. But now it seems that it's not that Liu Chunrong is mean, but that those people will really wait for an opportunity to take revenge.
"I heard that the leader of the gangsters is the nephew of the top leader of Shenzhen." Liu Chunrong rubbed his face, looking a bit depressed. Although all parts of the country are now reforming and opening up, Shenzhen is different. This place was developed first, and it is close to Hong Kong, and many factories are built here. They can also save some unnecessary expenses by buying some raw materials.
The top leader? Isn't that Mayor Qin? Qian Shulan was a little surprised. She thought that even if the other party really wanted to retaliate against her, they would start with food testing. She didn't expect that they would dare to rob directly. It was really simple and crude.
But she is not a soft persimmon. She doesn't care what others do. Anyway, she didn't make her fortune by bribing others.
Since the other party has already provoked her, she would be unworthy of their entire show if she didn't press the other party into the mud.
She sat down and tapped the table a few times, and soon she came up with a good idea. She briefly explained it to Liu Chunrong, who was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time, and said, "This is too cruel."
Qian Shulan snorted, "If a woman is not ruthless, her position will not be stable. Now that we have already torn our relationship apart, we must beat the man down completely."
Mayor Qin has accepted bribes more than once. It is said that he has a big appetite and it is not easy to satisfy him. She once heard Li Shirong complain to her that the factory site fee in Shenzhen was not as much as the bribes. It was ironic. This kind of thing is actually very common in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong is a place full of gangsters, and their stalls have to pay multiple fees. So Li Shirong just sighed and didn't take it to heart.
Li Shirong was a wealthy family and didn't care about the little things, but Qian Shulan didn't want the money she worked so hard to earn to go to corrupt officials. In her previous life, she hated those parasites the most, so how could she be willing to go along with them
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Liu Chunrong touched his face which was swollen like a pig's head from being beaten, and said with fire in his eyes, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Qian Shulan did what she said. She specifically found Li Shirong and asked him to cooperate with her in acting out a play.
Doesn't the other party like to steal things? Okay, she'll accompany you.
Qian Shulan took the big order from Li Shirong. She and Li Shirong had always cooperated, and this time, in order to make things bigger, she asked Li Shirong to issue her a purchase order that was ten times more than before, involving a total amount of 1.5 million.
In this day and age, people with an annual income of 10,000 yuan are considered wealthy, let alone an astronomical figure like 1.5 million yuan.
She went straight to Beijing with the evidence. She took the letter of complaint written by Li Shirong to the Supreme People's Procuratorate and exposed Qin Shizhan's bribery.
The reason why she was not accused in her capacity was because she had never bribed Mayor Qin, but Li Shirong had, and he was a Hong Konger. Now the country is attracting foreign investment, and wealthy people like Li Shirong are the objects of the country's competition. His letter of complaint will definitely be taken seriously.
After Qian Shulan sent the letter, she was worried that it would fall into oblivion, so she went to visit Yuan Huaibao and told him about it again.
Yuan Huaibao has now regained his original status. He has a very good relationship with the higher-ups, and with him having a say, at least things like this can be handled quickly.
Hearing about her experience in Shenzhen, Yuan Huaibao felt very sympathetic. In addition, he and Qian Shulan were about to become in-laws, and the other party only asked him to do a harmless favor, so he naturally agreed, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
Lu Minsheng was also nearby, and said with a smile, "We can only ask Lao Yuan for this matter. He is a man of some reputation."
Yuan Huaibao was somewhat proud. But he didn't care to show off now. After all, this was 1.5 million yuan for the goods, not just 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. He didn't dare to delay and called his old friend immediately.
With this information, she was able to quickly file a case against Qin Baofeng for leading others to rob goods.
Perhaps because the price was so sensational, the TV station also reported the matter specifically.
When Qian Shulan followed the court staff to Shenzhen, the court staff quickly found the witnesses who were present. Qian Shulan had already found the people who lived around the street at the time.
When Mayor Qin heard about this, he originally sent someone to threaten her, but he never came again.
Because the other party could no longer care about her, he was detained and interrogated by the procuratorate, and even his home was searched.
The money found was more than Qian Shulan had imagined, nearly 200,000 yuan in deposits, of course this did not include some real estate and the like.
Liu Chunrong went there every day to inquire about the latest news, and he was still a little dizzy until the other party was sentenced to execution.
Two hundred thousand is not a small sum. In the past, Li Guocheng was sentenced to twenty years in prison for embezzling a few hundred yuan. Mayor Qin is definitely going to get shot.
After this incident, Qin Baofeng was also sued by Qian Shulan, but it was a pity that the compensation she received was not much, almost nothing.
Liu Chunrong felt a little depressed. After all the trouble, he only got a hundred or so dollars. It was really not worth it.
Qian Shulan patted his shoulder and said, "Although it doesn't cost much, this method can solve the problem once and for all. We will never be bullied again."
Liu Chunrong thought so too. The money could not be recovered, but at least such a thing would not happen again.
Wang Xiangrun's lawsuit against Mayor Qin's nephew caused a sensation, so everyone in Shenzhen knew that Qian Shulan was not easy to mess with. Mayor Qin's fall from power further confirmed this.
So after the new mayor took office, he did not embarrass her. The hooligans who had gathered at the factory gate disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
However, Shenzhen’s public security has not improved since Mayor Qin’s fall from power.
Fights, riots and looting were still happening frequently in the streets, and even several factories were looted by a group of people, causing heavy losses.
Li Shirong seemed to have the idea of quitting. He was originally in a state of loss. It would have been fine if he had just lost money, but now he was even robbed.
Qian Shulan asked Liu Chunrong to tell the factory employees all the news outside, asking them to pay attention to safety and never go out alone.
In this way, I spent the year 1982 peacefully, and soon it was August 1983.
After repeated meetings and discussions, the crackdown was finally finalized. It seemed as if overnight, the whole country entered a very strict state.
There was even a slogan like this: "Those who can be arrested or not should be arrested resolutely; those who can be sentenced or not should be sentenced resolutely; those who can be killed or not should be killed resolutely."
During the "Strike Hard" period, there were countless major death penalty cases. After being interrogated and sentenced to death, the prisoners had to be paraded through the streets before being taken to the execution ground for execution. Police cars with sirens blaring led the way, followed closely by large trucks, each of which held a prisoner tied up and about to be executed. They all looked pale, with wooden signs on their chests with thin wires, which had their names, genders, ages, and crimes, and black "x"s drawn on their names. The execution vehicles shuttled through the streets and alleys, publicizing the "Strike Hard" struggle and denouncing the crimes of the prisoners, attracting countless people to watch. Public security personnel maintained order and unblocked traffic on both sides of the road.
After this severe crackdown, the number of crimes dropped significantly, and the social security situation began to improve significantly. However, this campaign was not always well-received in later generations. Many unjust, false and wrong cases occurred, and prisoners who were not originally guilty of capital crimes were directly beaten to death because of the heavy sentences.
However, what made the country most happy was that the overseas Chinese who had been unwilling to come and invest because the mainlanders were too barbaric were finally convinced by the country's big moves and rushed back to their hometowns to invest.
The spring breeze of reform and opening up finally blew, and many foreign investors came to China because of its extremely cheap labor.
