    October of 1990 AD was like a magnitude 10 earthquake to local officials in mainland China. There were three earthquake sources: the three provinces in the northeast, the three provinces in the southwest, and Henan Province in the Central Plains.

    Just after the National Day holiday, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection dispatched an investigation team of more than 100 people, including elite detectives transferred from the Ministry of Public Security. They were divided into seven groups and went to the seven provinces to conduct secret investigations. The results came out a week later.  The evidence obtained shocked all members of the investigation team.

    More than 20 companies under the name of the Zhao family in the three northeastern provinces have misappropriated more than 8 billion yuan of state-owned assets. More than a dozen companies under the name of the Tang family in the southwest have misappropriated nearly 6 billion yuan of state-owned assets.  It is only well-documented. In these six provinces alone, there were more than 40 officials involved, and those with high administrative levels even reached provincial cadres.

    The amount of state-owned assets misappropriated by the Bandung Group in Henan Province exceeded one billion yuan, and many officials at all levels were involved, including two at the county level, two at the municipal and deputy departments, three at the department level, and the provincial and deputy ministers.  Level one, it can be said that Vice Governor Xu and his faction are all involved.

    In this very targeted investigation into the misappropriation of assets of state-owned enterprises, the local departments of the National Security Bureau can be said to have provided a lot of evidence. Otherwise, no matter how many people the central government sent to investigate, it would not be possible.  Maybe the investigation was so thorough.

    Of course, these things are only superficial. Several important leaders of the central government know very well that there are countless such examples across the country!  But if we really want to carry out a thorough investigation, I am afraid that the entire local government establishment in mainland China will be cut by more than half.

    Looking at the shocking investigation results, the Politburo Standing Committee headed by Jiang Jiang held an emergency meeting. In addition to discussing the treatment plan for the companies and local officials found to be involved, more importantly,  Review the political and ideological construction work of local officials at all levels that has been neglected in the past few years of reform and opening up.

    "In the past two years, the domestic economic construction and development has been so good that many of us are a little hopeless! At this point, the main responsibility still lies with the party committee, and as the general secretary, I  You need to take the main responsibility!" Chief Jiang first made a self-criticism, and then suddenly became harsh, "In view of such internal corruption, I personally believe that it is necessary to launch a rectification campaign in our government departments at all levels.  We must correct the erroneous thinking of those officials who have deviated in their thinking, otherwise this kind of thing will inevitably happen again in the future economic construction!"

    With the order of the No. 1 chief, a vigorous rectification movement was launched across the country. Under the influence of such a political storm, the handling of the companies and local officials involved in the three earthquake source areas was relatively silent.  ongoing.

    ¡°Whether it is the Wanlong Group or the two companies under investigation, any misappropriated part involving the embezzlement of state-owned assets must be returned according to the value, otherwise these companies will be ordered to be sealed up, and they will eventually be auctioned off.

    Even though the Zhang and Tang families are a well-established family, after having their assets worth billions of yuan returned, there are not many assets left. In addition, the huge political power they have built up over decades of hard work is basically gone.  After being dismembered and not producing much anymore, these two aristocratic families that were originally ranked among the top ten in the country quickly fell into decline. They can no longer even be called third-rate aristocratic families.

    As for the Wanlong Group, it was more miserable. Because it could not come up with so much funds to repay, it was finally ordered to be sealed up. During the auction, most of the properties were bought by representatives of the Zhu family from Hunan.

    Compared with the arrest of all officials involved in the seven provinces where the earthquake originated, there was much less action on officials found to be involved in corruption throughout the country during the rectification movement. Except for some officials who were involved in huge amounts, other officials were able to take the initiative to explain their mistakes.  They were not punished by double regulations, they were just placed on probation or demerits. Of course, these officials would not be promoted in the future.

    The international response to the anti-corruption political storm in mainland China has been mixed. Corruption is a common phenomenon in every country. Except for the harsh language of media reports and comments in the United States and the United Kingdom, other  The attitude shown by the regional media was more appreciative.

    Among the companies investigated this time, all are private enterprises in mainland China, and foreign investors are not involved. Therefore, this storm is a trend signal for those investors: as long as it is a reasonable investment  , within the scope of legal business, the Chinese government will treat everyone equally, whether it is foreign investment or private enterprise!

    &nbs? walked out, leaving Ren Darong alone to stare dumbly at the book that was kicked back to its original place.

    Cool!  What kind of skill is this?  At this time, Ren Darong somewhat believed what his younger brother once told him. The rumor that the third young master of the Zhao family was a martial arts master looked very likely to be true based on today's performance.

    When he walked out of the gate of the police academy, Zhao Zhenbei saw Ren Dahua's Rolls-Royce. When he saw Zhao Zhenbei walking out, the door of the Rolls-Royce opened and Ren Dahua left with a burly middle-aged man wearing glasses.  Come down.

    The middle-aged man with the glasses looked very lucky to Zhao Zhenbei. Could it be that this guy was Johnnie To?  Think about the possibilities.

    "Bei Shao, this is Du Da Pao! Now he has become a contracted director of our company! Before I came to pick you up, I went to the venue to have a look, and I happened to bump into Lao Du. He told me that he was coming to pick up Third Young Master, so we came together!  "Simon Yam smiled and introduced the middle-aged man, and it turned out to be the legendary Johnnie To.

    "Hello, Third Young Master! I'm Johnnie To!" He doesn't have too many polite words, he is polite yet graceful, and he is a very cultured person.

    "Director Du Da! I have been famous for a long time. I heard Brother Da Hua keep talking about you two years ago. I can't believe that we didn't meet for the first time until today!" Zhao Zhenbei held Du Qifeng's hand affectionately.  It was so enthusiastic that Du Qifeng felt a little surprised.

    "To be honest, Brother Dahua, do you think my attitude towards Lao Du is too enthusiastic?" After getting in the car, Zhao Zhenbei asked Simon Yam who was sitting on his left.

    Simon Yam nodded, and even Johnnie To on the other side was aroused.

    "It can be said that among the many film directors in Hong Kong, in my eyes, apart from director John Woo, the only one who has the ability to develop in Hollywood is Johnnie To, Brother To, and you are of this level. Of course, I am not saying that other directors are not good enough.  High, but their style is not suitable for Hollywood¡¯s development model!¡±

    "Why do you say that?" Johnnie To, the person involved, also felt very strange. Hong Kong movies can be said to be in a prosperous stage now, and outstanding directors have emerged one after another in the past few years.

    "American movies pursue the production of big scenes. Maybe they are not as good as our Hong Kong filmmakers in the plot of the script, but they are better than us in that they strive to be perfect in every detail! There is absolutely no shoddy work! Today's Hong Kong directors  , there are not many directors who can control big scenes and big-budget movies, and they can be counted with one slap, but there are directors who can control all the plots of big-scenes and big-budget movies while taking into account every aspect. Currently, the only directors who have this ability are Director John Woo and  Brother Du, you are here!"

    "I think both Brother Dahua and Brother Du should know that we acquired Japan's Sony Group in the first half of the year, and Universal Movies under Sony's name has been spun off to Hong Kong Star Entertainment! In the next few years, I need  One or two directors who can represent Chinese-language films have produced films in Hollywood that can both sell well and promote our Chinese culture! Now you should understand why I am so enthusiastic about Brother Du, right?"

    Simon Yam suddenly realized: "No wonder Chairman Wanhua recently heard about the quarrel between Director John Woo and Director Tsui Hark, and immediately told me to build a good relationship with John Woo, and he must be roped in to join us as a Hong Kong star. It turned out to be San Shao  Your idea!¡±

    Zhao Zhenbei said with a straight face: "Film is a profitable industry, but if we can make money at the same time, we can spread our Chinese culture to the West, so that Westerners can understand our Chinese culture and at the same time establish a relationship with the Chinese."  A more correct impression! After all, in the past 100 years, the image of the Chinese in the world has not been very good!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
