Chapter 265 Struggle for Power and Profit! Gao Qiqiang's Resentment!
dusty.
A Mercedes-Benz drove into the construction site and stopped in front of the project office.
Gao Qiqiang quickly opened the door and got out of the car, walked around to the other side of the car, and opened the car door for his godfather Chen Tai.
Chen Tai got off the bus and stopped. He glanced at the group of people walking towards him in the distance.
He's getting old and has become somewhat farsighted.
At a glance, you can see that Cheng Cheng, the tall project manager, is accompanying Zhao Ruilong, introducing things as they walk.
On Zhao Ruilong's other side was Feng Zhengting, the general manager of Huilong Energy Company, and behind him was Zhong Xiaoai, who once had a prominent background and is now a force to be reckoned with.
"Let's go, Godfather!"
Where's the hat?
"Oh, right, just a moment!"
Gao Qiqiang quickly went to find a safety helmet.
After lunch break, the two were originally having a meeting at the company.
The plan is to purchase equipment, recruit talent, and build a professional construction team to target the booming wind power industry.
Upon hearing that Zhao Ruilong had suddenly come to inspect the Xiawan Power Plant construction site, they lost all interest in the meeting and rushed over immediately.
In his haste, Gao Qiqiang forgot that he had to wear a safety helmet when entering the construction site.
How could I go to see General Manager Zhao without even wearing a safety helmet?
When Chen Tai saw Gao Qiqiang take out two white hats from the project office, he was so angry that he glared at him.
"You took the wrong one!!"
"The white hard hat is for the project owner. Is this your first day on the construction site?"
Chen Tai scolded her in an annoyed tone.
Since taking Gao Qiqiang as his godson.
Gao Qiqiang is capable and filial.
Chen Tai has never lost his temper with Gao Qiqiang.
But in his haste, he even grabbed the wrong hat, which really made Chen Tai lose his composure.
Gao Qiqiang naturally didn't take this to heart, and he knew he had been hasty and careless.
Soon, they brought out two red safety helmets.
The two hurriedly put them on as they walked.
Who cares about the scorching sun and unbearable heat?
They rushed over to greet Zhao Ruilong and his party.
"Mr. Zhao, this is Chen Tai, Chairman of our Jinghai Construction Group, and this gentleman next to him..."
"No need to introduce Mr. Gao, I've met him many times, and Chairman Chen... we just met this morning."
After smiling and nodding to Gao Qiqiang, Zhao Ruilong turned his gaze to Chen Tai.
Chen Tai, known as Uncle Tai in Jinghai, has a shrewd and cunning appearance.
In the original series, he acted as a peacemaker, getting Xu Jiang and Bai Jiangbo to shake hands and make peace.
He believed that since he had been in Beijing for many years, Xu Jiang would give him some face.
The results of it?
Xu Jiang cursed in front of his subordinates. They gave him face by calling him Uncle Tai, but if they didn't, they'd bury him!
In order to avenge his son, Xu Jiang buried Bai Jiangbo alive as soon as the peace talks ended.
This incident is enough to prove that Chen Tai has some influence in Jinghai, but not much. He no longer dares to act violently or engage in fighting, so it is difficult for him to inspire awe.
There's one more thing.
That is, the Mangcun project was obstructed, and Gao Qiqiang used underhanded methods, which attracted controversy.
When Chen Tai found out, he was so angry that his high blood pressure flared up. He said that Gao Qiqiang had become a gang leader and that it would scare his friends. If his friends were scared, they would stop hanging out with him.
This incident also shows that Chen Tai was very afraid of ruining his reputation in his later years, so much so that even though he knew that Gao Qiqiang was a powerful figure in the Jinghai underworld, he did not want Gao Qiqiang to use underhanded methods.
Considering both of these matters.
Chen Tai is no longer the same as he was when he was navigating society, daring to fight and kill.
After he cleaned up his act early on, he became a typical businessman.
In order to make more money from projects, he could accept bribes, but he wouldn't dare to resort to violence.
They were terrified that if they crossed the line, they would fall into an abyss of no return.
In this respect, Chen Tai is exactly the same as Cheng Cheng.
In the original drama, Chengcheng and Gao Qiqiang fought for power and profit. One of the main reasons for her failure was that she was not as ruthless as Gao Qiqiang, who was a villain. Therefore, she was not ruthless enough in her dealings with people.
When she met An Xin, she frankly admitted that she had studied for twenty years, worked for Jinghai Construction Group for ten years, and spent three years in prison for them. All her hard work behind bars was no match for a fishmonger who had found a godfather.
Chengcheng didn't want to stand by and watch Gao Qiqiang lead the booming Jinghai Construction Group into a ditch, short-sightedly resorting to any means for profit, without any bottom line...
From the perspective of a company's healthy and long-term development, Chengcheng and Chen Tai are certainly not wrong. Chen Tai also knows that Gao Qiqiang's approach is too reckless and will harm the construction group sooner or later, which is why he is willing to support Chengcheng to take the lead.
But for now...
Gao Qiqiang has only been with the construction group for a short time.
Chengcheng had probably just been released from prison and hadn't been back at the construction group for long.
Therefore, both of them are still in a stage where their foundations are not yet stable.
Standing beside Chen Tai, one naturally had to act like a lackey, always with a smile on one's face.
As for Chen Tai...
He is the owner of a private construction company in a prefecture-level city in Linjiang Province.
In front of Zhao Ruilong, who has a powerful background.
Not only was his smile incredibly radiant, but his back, hunched over for decades, was now even more bent.
After exchanging pleasantries, everyone headed to the project office conference room.
Chengcheng is the project manager.
Graduated from a prestigious university, and is also diligent and responsible in his work.
Therefore, when reporting on the project's progress, they naturally know it like the back of their hand.
Zhao Ruilong noticed that Gao Qiqiang frequently frowned and pondered deeply while Chengcheng was giving her report.
obviously.
Gao Qiqiang, who hadn't even finished junior high school and dropped out to sell fish to support his family, truly felt the pressure.
Compared to Chengcheng, who has a high level of education, strong professional skills, and ample experience, he, who came to the field later in life, is obviously far behind.
If you want to climb to a higher position and gain more power in Jinghai Construction Group, it's not enough to just have a sugar daddy.
The better Chengcheng performs, the greater the pressure on Gao Qiqiang to get promoted.
As a time traveler, and also an observer.
Zhao Ruilong felt that watching the contest between Cheng Licheng and Gao Qiqiang of the Construction Engineering Group from God's perspective was quite interesting.
It's as if you're watching two crickets fighting in a small bowl.
Even at this moment, the two haven't started fighting yet.
However, as their respective strengths continue to grow, a fierce battle for power and profit will inevitably unfold sooner or later.
"Will they, like in the original series, fight to the death in the Mangcun project in 2006?"
Whenever Zhao Ruilong thinks of the Mangcun project, he can't help but think of Li Youtian and his son Li Hongwei.
In the drama, Li Youtian was furious and wanted to drive his van to confront Gao Qiqiang. However, the van had already been tampered with by Gao Qiqiang's top assassin, Lao Mo, causing the brakes to fail and Li Youtian to fall off a cliff and die.
Many people jokingly say that Li Youtian is the only one who is speeding in the whole show, and the video of Li Youtian driving has been used by many content creators to make many parody videos.
As for Li Hongwei...
The Gao brothers kindly invited him to dinner to discuss cooperation on the Mangcun project. However, he not only overturned the table and showed no respect, but also questioned whether he knew the origin of the character "Mang" in Mangcun.
Of course, the most classic example is when he called Gao Qiqiang a stinking fishmonger to his face.
Because of this sentence, he completely offended Gao Qisheng, with whom he had a deep brotherly bond.
So much so that Gao Qisheng chased after Li Hongwei with a frozen fish in his hand, smashing it against him until he was seriously injured and died.
Thinking about all this, Zhao Ruilong suddenly felt a little regretful.
Unfortunately, under my influence, my second uncle, Zhao Lidong, has already "retired from the criminal world" and is only focused on making progress.
Unlike in the original series, he no longer interfered in the projects in Mang Village, supported Li Youtian and his son, or caused trouble for Meng Dehai.
Then, even if there were another Mangcun project, Li Youtian would not have the courage or confidence to challenge Jinghai Construction Group.
This greedy father and son are actually quite likely to secretly collude with Gao Qiqiang.
In the original drama, Li Hongwei, who was unwilling to stay in the countryside, once suggested to his father, Li Youtian, that they sign a dual contract with the construction group to receive a separate sum of money.
However, Li Youtian wanted money, fame, and to keep his position as village chief, so he did not take Li Hongwei's advice and ultimately caused the deaths of the father and son.
So……
Without the influence of his second uncle Zhao Lidong, the Mang Village project obviously wouldn't become the trigger for the conflict between Gao Qiqiang and Chengcheng.
Li Youtian wouldn't speed off a cliff, Li Hongwei wouldn't be arrogant and domineering, and Gao Qiqiang wouldn't become the "Frozen Fish God of War"...
"That's roughly the situation regarding the project at present."
"Next, I will immediately implement your instructions, Mr. Zhao, and coordinate with the air conditioner manufacturer to deliver and install the air conditioners ahead of schedule..."
After Chengcheng finished speaking, Zhao Ruilong said calmly:
"Manager Cheng has managed this project very well. I am quite satisfied with the project's construction progress and the safety management of the construction site."
"However, I hope that since this project is to become a benchmark project and a high-quality project, we should do better than laws and regulations in many details."
"For example, in terms of dust control, we can take some proactive measures, such as washing vehicles before they leave, covering the cargo beds of dump trucks with tarpaulins, and installing sprinkler systems on the fencing..."
Zhao Ruilong spoke up.
Everyone quickly buried their heads in taking notes.
Whether it's Chen Tai, Gao Qiqiang, or Feng Zhengting and Zhong Xiaoai.
Everyone was writing furiously in their notebooks, afraid of missing anything General Manager Zhao said.
The meeting ended half an hour later.
Despite the scorching sun, Chen Tai and the others smiled and saw Zhao Ruilong and his group off.
After the convoy had driven far away, Chen Tai slowly turned around.
With a smile on her lips, she looked at Chengcheng with great satisfaction.
Then, in his signature hoarse voice, he slowly said:
"He's definitely a college graduate, that's impressive, truly remarkable!"
"You've managed such a large project so well that even General Manager Zhao was quite satisfied. You've done a great job."
Receiving such praise from Chen Tai made Chengcheng feel as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and her smile became even sweeter.
Of course, basic humility is still necessary.
"You flatter me. I just did what I was supposed to do."
"And didn't you hear it at the meeting? General Manager Zhao gave me quite a few suggestions about my work."
Chen Tai nodded slightly.
"Mr. Zhao is a man with a broad vision and the ability to accomplish great things. He is insightful and it is only natural that he would offer some suggestions on the project."
"Next, you should follow his advice one by one. If the project is done well, it will definitely bring honor to our construction group!"
Chengcheng straightened her chest slightly and immediately stated her position firmly:
"Chairman Chen, please rest assured, I will do my utmost and will not slack off in the slightest to ensure that it is implemented quickly and effectively!"
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing!"
Watching Chengcheng excitedly lead her people away, Chen Tai had a big smile on his face.
He became more and more satisfied with Chengcheng the more he looked at her.
She is capable, efficient, and has a good image and demeanor.
By promoting and giving important positions to such talents, the construction group will surely achieve greater long-term development.
In contrast.
The godson Gao Qiqiang beside him is quite lacking in many aspects due to his limited education.
