Xiao Jinlang got up late today, brushed his teeth and washed his face after three poles of the day, and went out to find a stall to buy breakfast. He originally planned to go to the city hall to interview some people directly, but he was frustrated and only wandered down the street.
Tianyang is a very ordinary prefecture-level city, with average transportation and resources, and the industrial and agricultural industries have no distinctive features. It's just that the market has been a lot busier in the past six months, all because Zhou Qingfeng is constantly throwing money.
The two systems of "Holy Light" and "Harmony" make money, spend more money, and have great liquidity.
According to Xiao Jinlang's investigation, Zhou Qingfeng's money did not go to a few people, but to a large area. Tens of millions of funds are rolling, and every time it rolls, it creates a production value.
This is a powerful driving effect.
Several small shops specializing in consumer goods have recently opened in the old city, such as vegetables transported by rural waterways, or recycled small appliances and clothes.
Xiao Jinlang wandered around casually, and he knew who opened the store as soon as it was called Harmony and Convenience.
The shop is very small, only 20 square meters. There are two shelves in front of the store, one is fresh vegetables and the other is second-hand clothes. There are some kettles, electric sockets, thermos cups, small electric fans and the like in the store.
Things are very cheap. Although the business is not very popular, there are many patrons.
Xiao Jinlang noticed it, and saw several housewives crowded in front of the clothes stand, buying a lot of worn-out clothes at a price per catty.
One dollar can buy a lot of rags. These things are suitable to be taken home as a mop, or as diapers for children.
The income of the people in the old city is generally not high and they need such cheap goods. As for the village, it sells better.
Xiao Jinlang suddenly felt sour in his heart. He has always boasted that he came from the countryside, but after graduating from college, staying in the imperial capital, his family has never been so frugal again.
"Have I forgotten my original intention?"
A child walked into a convenience store, took out several Transformers toys from a large box randomly stacked, and happily bought the toys with his pocket money.
Among the recycled items, toys are also a big category. There are all kinds of them, and some of them are sold well after cleaning and disinfection.
The child who bought the toy smiled cheerfully and blushed. Xiao Jinlang, who was standing outside the store, was originally gloomy, but was amused by the smile.
The mobile phone rang...
Xiao Jinlang took the phone out of his jacket and frowned when he saw the number. He reluctantly connected and shouted'Hello'.
The editor-in-chief of the imperial capital came out with a laugh, and he seemed to be very happy, "Old Xiao, your affairs in Tianyang can be over."
"what?"
"That's it. The problems reported by the masses before are really misunderstood. Enterprises such as the "Harmonious Supermarket" dealing in second-hand goods are all operating legally.
The procedures are formal, the certificates are complete, and the goods sold are also purchased from HK through normal channels. Some people in the local area have pinkeye, and random reactions are common. "
Xiao Jinlang was anxious. After checking for half a month, is it legal and compliant? Does he know
"Editor-in-chief, this question can't be vague..."
"Lao Xiao, people have called us to communicate. Don't be stubborn anymore.
Mr. Zhou called me directly to explain the situation, and his attitude was very good. He also said that he wants to see you and get to know him. "
"What? See me? How did he know about me?"
Xiao Jinlang would not be cold, but frightened. He has been an unannounced reporter for so many years, what he fears most is the exposure of his identity, which is very dangerous.
"Old Xiao, don't be afraid. They are a very formal company, very normal operation, and very decent foreign businessmen. It is also good for you to meet in person. They are waiting at the hotel where you stay."
The editor-in-chief also relieved Xiao Jinlang. Listening to the tone, he was very happy, and seemed to be less troublesome.
Old Xiao was frightened and angry but helpless. He could have heard it. It must be that there was a leak in that place, and the subject under investigation sent him to the investigation in the opposite direction.
This time is good, it is really a waste of work.
I can't go shopping, I can only go back to the small hotel.
Zhou Qingfeng was at the front desk when he entered the hotel, playing the cat with one hand while joking with the boss and his wife.
When Xiao Jinlang came back, the few people stopped talking.
The hotel owner winked secretly and signaled that this was the one who asked Mr. Zhou to find him.
Zhou Qingfeng sat in a chair and looked up. The two sides met in a very unexpected situation.
Xiao Jinlang's appearance is very ordinary, he is inconspicuous in the crowd, and will not leave any deep impression on people. He is no different from the middle-aged people everywhere in the city.
In Xiao Jinlang's eyes, Zhou Qingfeng is too unique. The president is too young and overpowering, just like the day of rising, attracting the attention of others, but also difficult to look directly at.
When the two met for the first time, they were quite surprised.
Zhou Qingfeng stood up and smiled: "Reporter Xiao, it's not easy to find you. Can you show me the black leather notebook in your upper left breast pocket?"
Xiao Jinlang stood still, his expression ugly and ugly. He has dealt with a lot of vicious criminals, but he hasn't encountered anyone who can investigate him in turn, and investigate him so carefully.
Compressed, Xiao Jinlang walked over slowly, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, it's not as famous as to meet. I am Xiao Jinlang. How did you find me?"
"I have chatted with your leader for a long time, and I also asked people to investigate your resume. I know that your reports in the past ten years have revealed many serious problems in many places.
Some people lose office because of you, some people go to jail because of you, and some people take guns because of you. More people are secretly clamoring to buy your head. But you are still very active.
The uncrowned king is really amazing.
As for how I found you, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that I found you. "
Zhou Qingfeng still pointed to Xiao Jinlang's chest, "Reporter Xiao, your leader said that you like to carry a small record book with you. Can you show it to me?"
Xiao Jinlang felt weak all over.
Everyone knew that Lao Di, the editor-in-chief in the imperial capital really regarded Xiao Jinlang as an abandoned son. He had to take out the black leather notebook from the inside pocket of his left breast jacket and handed it out.
The notebook changes hands and the pages are turned over.
A minute or two later, Zhou Qingfeng raised his notebook and sighed, "Reporter Xiao, you are really amazing. I don't even know some things. You know more than me."
Xiao Jinlang frowned and thought about it a lot in an instant. He couldn't guess Zhou Qingfeng's intentions, he could only hold his breath.
Zhou Qingfeng said in a deep voice, "I admire you who are still born to death in peaceful times. There are really not many people like you."
"There are not many weird young people like you." Xiao Jinlang said sternly, "I don't know whether I should praise you or sue you?"
"How can I praise?" Zhou Qingfeng asked with a relaxed smile after solving the trouble.
Xiao Jinlang didn't even think about it, "You are very good at making money and spending money, and it's quite a mess."
"How should I sue me?"
"Can I still sue you now?"
