Rebirth: Return to 1991 to be the richest man

Chapter 1708

Seeing Chen Jianghai not speaking, Wang Shitou thought Chen Jianghai was wavering.

He was secretly happy in his heart, and then he said like striking while the iron was hot: "Mr. Chen, Boss Zhu is a real entrepreneur, an entrepreneur with the Huaxia brand."

"Not to mention anything else, his achievements alone are absolutely unparalleled."

"In this case, if you help and say a few words, people will definitely think that you are a friend worth making."

Wang Shitou's words were actually very euphemistic.

Just tell Chen Jianghai directly that if you do this, your status in the business world will definitely rise.

Unfortunately, this kind of benefit is not attractive at all to Chen Jianghai.

Of course, Chen Jianghai still agrees with Wang Shitou's words, and that is Zhu Wang Yan's achievements.

In the early 80s, Zhu Wangyan officially became the director of Yuxi Tobacco Factory.

At that time, Yuxi was still a small and unknown cigarette factory.

Its fixed assets are around 1000 million, and its production equipment is all at the level of the 40s and [-]s.

After Zhu Wangyan became the factory director, he paid close attention to quality and marketing and created popular brands such as Hongtashan and Asma.

By the mid-80s, the Yuxi factory was already quite famous, with annual profits and taxes of 5 million yuan.

The rapid development of Yuxi Factory began in [-].

Prior to this, all tobacco prices in China were planned and controlled.

In July [-], the state announced that it would liberalize prices for thirteen types of luxury cigarettes and implement market regulation.

Among these thirteen famous cigarettes, Zhu Wangyan’s Yuxi managed to win four of them.

When cigarette prices were opened, the price per pack in Hongtashan rose from [-] yuan to [-] yuan, and then to [-] yuan the next day.

This year, among the top ten companies that paid the most profits and taxes in the country, Yuxi Factory ranked fifth, and its economic benefits ranked first in the country's light industry.

At that time, Zhu Wangyan was extremely prosperous.

In that year, he was awarded the title of National Model Worker and the May [-]st Labor Medal.

After receiving these awards, Zhu Wang Yan is not satisfied with his current results.

In order to break through the state's control over tobacco production targets, he bypassed relevant policies and fully expanded his production capacity by acquiring other small cigarette factories.

In the future, it will appear that this is a gray reform channel.

It makes the country's restrictions on the total amount of tobacco production useless.

By the mid-90s, the Yuxi factory's annual profits reached more than 200 billion yuan, accounting for 60.00% of Dali's fiscal revenue.

This kind of income is equivalent to the total fiscal income of more than 400 agricultural counties, firmly occupying the first seat in China's tobacco industry.

At the same time, Yuxi Factory became the fifth largest tobacco company in the world.

In 3503, Hongtashan's intangible assets were [-] billion yuan, ranking first among all Chinese brands.

During Zhu Wangyan’s 17 years in office, Hongta Group paid a total tax of 800 billion.

When a leader inspected the enterprise, he said that this was not a cigarette factory, but a money printing factory.

However, all changes began in [-].

At that time, the superiors received an anonymous report and launched an investigation into Zhu Wangyan.

In June [-], Zhu Wangyan was arrested on corruption charges.

It is no exaggeration to say that Zhu Wang Yan’s achievements in business are indeed beyond the reach of many people in their lifetime.

What's even more ironic is that Zhu Wangyan created such outstanding results, but ended up in a jailed situation, which is really disappointing.

Chen Jianghai shook his head and said: "I'm not interested in this matter, please come back!"

By this point, it was clear that he didn't want to care about it at all.Wang Shitou couldn't understand why Chen Jianghai was unwilling to take the risk.

"Mr. Chen, you are too heartless!"

Wang Shitou suddenly stood up from the sofa and stared at Chen Jianghai angrily.

Seeing Wang Shitou like this, Chen Jianghai was a little confused.

Isn't it his own fault that Wang Yan is in this situation?

The reason why Zhu Wangyan was investigated was because of corruption.

The investigation results show that Zhu Wangyan has set up a small corporate treasury worth one billion Chinese coins and hundreds of millions of US dollars abroad, which can only be used with his signature.

"Mr. Wang, don't get too excited. Zhu Wang Yan, you should all know how much he has been greedy for."

Chen Jianghai didn't seem to care and remained calm.

If Zhu Wangyan was wrongfully imprisoned, Chen Jianghai would definitely be willing to lend a helping hand.

Zhu Wangyan's reason for going in now is corruption, and it is impossible for Chen Jianghai to exonerate him.

"Mr. Chen!"

Wang Shitou said excitedly, "Do you know what Boss Zhu's salary is?"

"Twenty years ago, his salary was 20 yuan, and his bonus was the highest in the game at 92 yuan. Plus other things, his total monthly income was only [-]."

"But ten years later, after the factory was completed, his monthly income was only more than 480 yuan. Adding some awards, the total was only about 1000 yuan."

"Now that Hongta has become a world-class enterprise, he is going to jail. Isn't this a huge irony?!"

Chen Jianghai glanced at Wang Shitou lightly and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What? Do you think he is right to do this?"

Wang Shitou plausibly said: "Whether this is right or not, future generations will judge for themselves, but I feel that the gap between his contribution and his income is too big, and his impulsiveness can be forgiven."

Chen Jianghai shook his head.

Wang Shitou's words were simply sophistry.

This is like saying, facts aside, Zhu Wang Yan is a good person.

If a person has embezzled so much money, why should others think that he is a good person?
You still have to follow the rules as a human being.

Since you have made a mistake, you should be punished.

In this world, many times the merits and demerits cannot be offset.

Chen Jianghai shook his head and his voice became a little cold: "I don't agree with your point of view. You should ask someone else to do this!"

Hearing Chen Jianghai's answer, Wang Shitou couldn't help but said: "Mr. Chen, you know that Zhu Wang Yan's daughter committed suicide in prison, his son fled abroad, and his wife and most of his relatives were imprisoned. It was a real separation of wives and children. The family is broken up and everyone is dead.”

"Aren't you willing to give him a chance to change his ways?"

It was precisely because of something like this in his previous life that sympathy and support for Zhu Wangyan became an intriguing force.

At the conference at the beginning of this year, more than a dozen representatives and committee members from the business and academic circles jointly petitioned for Wang Yan’s mercy and called for people to be retained under the gun.

One statement that sounds very touching is that a leader of a state-owned enterprise who has made such a huge contribution to the national industry can earn less than a singer singing a song on stage.

Seeing Wang Shitou's excited look, Chen Jianghai said calmly: "Mr. Wang, if you don't agree with each other, please don't say more."

For Chen Jianghai, this matter had nothing to do with him.

Since Zhu Wangyan did something wrong, he must bear the corresponding responsibility.

The Wang Shitou in front of him ran for him not out of morality, but out of selfishness.

Because this king himself is not a good bird.
