Chapter 487 What is Our Own People?
(There are supplements in the previous chapter, brothers can go back and read the plot of the previous chapter!)
After listening to this, Zhang Desheng pointed at the phone on his desk and signaled them to just call.
Fatty Fan glanced at Ning Yuan and got a nod from Ning Yuan before he stepped forward and dialed the number.
This kid is quite cautious and knows that he needs to pay attention to the impact of such things.
However, this is why Ning Yuan chose to come to the Armed Forces Department to answer the phone.
Compared with Fan Lei, Zhang Desheng is much more stable.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that Fan Lei is not trustworthy. No, it’s just because the two of them have different positions.
Being in that position, Fan Lei must have more concerns and considerations.
Ning Yuan came to Zhang Desheng's side for everyone's convenience.
Fatty Fan must know his father's office phone number by heart.
The call was connected quickly. After Fatty Fan and Director Fan exchanged a few pleasantries, they heard the other party ask directly.
"Alright, kid, what on earth do you want to do with your father? I told you long ago to arrange something for you to do in Sijiu City, but you refused to listen and followed that kid from the Ning family into the mountains. Now you know to call your father?"
The soundproofing on the phone was not very good and Zhang Desheng's office was not big, so everyone could hear his voice clearly.
Fatty Fan was a little embarrassed and smiled at Ning Yuan and Zhang Desheng.
Ning Yuan also smiled, and without waiting for Fatty Fan to speak, he took the initiative to step forward and asked Fatty Fan if he had answered the phone.
"Ahem, haha, um, Uncle Fan, I'm Ning Yuan, and I asked Fatty to call you!"
There was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, a cough was heard, and then someone spoke up.
"Ah, Dayuan, hey, look, this kid Xinhua, why didn't you tell me earlier? He's not reliable in his work. You need to help Uncle Fan keep an eye on him!"
Ning Yuan and Fatty Fan smiled at each other and agreed repeatedly into the phone.
After this awkward situation was resolved, Director Fan on the other end of the phone finally started talking about business.
"You just said you had something to talk to me about? What is it? Given the relationship between our two families, why are you being so distant with Uncle Fan?"
Ning Yuan didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Uncle Fan, this is what happened. A few of my friends got into some trouble in Hong Kong Island. However, I don't have many friends there. Fatty happened to mention that you have some friendship with the head of the Guo family in Hong Kong Island. That's why I wanted to ask you for help!"
"Oh, that's the matter. Why did you end up in Hong Kong? To be honest, I don't know much about the specific situation there. I have some connections with Guo Xiangdong from the Guo family. What do you plan to do?"
When Fatty Fan's father heard Ning Yuan mention the Guo family, he understood what he was talking about. Although he was also curious about how these guys had friends in Hong Kong Island, he decided to figure out what these guys meant first.
"Uncle Fan, I want you to contact the Guo family and let them know about me and Fatty. Then, we can contact the Guo family. Don't worry about the details, okay?"
Ning Yuan knew that first of all, Chen Liangzi and Zheng Liang were not suitable to show up in public. Although Fatty Fan's father was also one of their own, it was better to have less trouble than more.
Furthermore, Director Fan was reinstated immediately after he was released, and is now in power.
What they want to discuss with the Guo family is to plant a flag in Hong Kong Island and promote an underground force. It is not appropriate to let a regular provincial-level cadre get involved in this!
Fatty Fan's father was also a smart man. After a moment of silence, he spoke.
"Dayuan, you need to think twice before you act. News has spread from your father that he's going to be changing jobs soon. Don't cause trouble at this juncture!"
Ning Yuan also understood what he was worried about. In fact, he and Fatty Fan's father were thinking about the same thing, so he deliberately avoided them and just asked them to endorse himself and Fatty.
After thinking about it, Ning Yuan spoke to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Uncle Fan. I know my limits. I won't get involved in this matter. My friends in Hong Kong Island will handle everything!"
"Okay! That's fine. Just be more careful. Then, wait a moment while I find their phone number on the mainland. After I call them, you can contact them again!"
Fatty Fan's father also understood what role he played in this, so he quickly greeted Ning Yuan and hung up the phone.
Zhang Desheng was a little puzzled. Although Ning Yuan and the others went to Guangzhou, it was still the connections he and Fan Lei had established.
However, he was not aware of the trip to Hong Kong Island.
After seeing that Ning Yuan had hung up the phone, Zhang Desheng walked over and asked Ning Yuan.
"What's going on with you guys? Why are you still involved with Hong Kong Island?"
He did not ask about the situation of the Guo family. After all, to be honest, his current level was still a bit low.
So, the first thing I asked was what was going on in Hong Kong.
Ning Yuan did not hide anything and gave a brief account of the situation in Hong Kong Island.
Zhang Desheng nodded as if he suddenly understood, then frowned and asked Ning Yuan.
"So what are you planning? Are you contacting the Guo family to recruit people and then start a war?"
Ning Yuan looked at Zhang Desheng and nodded, but didn't say anything else.
"Alright, as I said before, peace survives when it's fought for, but it dies when it's compromised! Just have your ideas, and if there's anything you need our help with, just speak up!"
Zhang Desheng and his men are all veterans of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and their sense of struggle is extremely firm.
Besides, human history from ancient times to the present has always been about achieving changes through confrontation and struggle.
They didn't take the intense fight that Ning Yuan mentioned too seriously.
Of course, the so-called asking Ning Yuan to speak up when he needs something is not just a casual remark.
After all, there are people closer to you among your own people!
At all times, power struggles are divided into camps.
Especially these iron-blooded warriors who have fought in the army for decades.
My stance is clear to the core. For our family, I will fully support them within the scope of principles. As for those outside the scope of principles, I will find ways to support them. Even if there are no conditions, I will create them to support them.
After hearing what Zhang Desheng said, Ning Yuan gritted his teeth and spoke directly.
"Uncle Zhang, since you've said that, I won't be polite with you. I need you to report the damage to some guns and ammunition these days!"
Zhang Desheng raised his eyebrows and looked at Ning Yuan. After thinking for a moment, he actually nodded.
Ning Yuan was overjoyed when he saw this and was about to say something, but he saw Zhang Desheng shook his head slightly and said.
"There's no need to talk about this anymore. I'll give you twenty Type 56 rifles within a week. You don't have to tell me how you use them!"
(The following is a supplement to the chapter plot!)
Ning Yuan was about to explain when Zhang Desheng blocked his words. After a moment's pause, he quickly nodded in agreement.
After hearing what Ning Yuan and Zhang Desheng said, Fatty Fan was not surprised. He even had no doubts about his father.
However, in his opinion, it is nonsense to have money and guns but no people.
It was impossible for these educated youth to travel so far to Hong Kong Island.
Because they are in such a good situation now and can live comfortably in Annan County, they have people looking after them from above and below, and they are still in the region, so they can at least cope with it.
But once they leave Annan, there will be no one to cover for them.
Besides, these guys were all brought out from the old city. Even if their families are not well off, they are at the school or bureau level.
Although the elders in most of my buddies’ families have not been able to come out yet, they are definitely not the kind of people who can be thrown into a strange place to fight to the death with a bunch of bad guys.
(Although saying this is a bit... but, isn't it the truth? People are born unequal, so the Five Tigers wouldn't be so secretive in the book!)
Not only Ning Yuan, but even Fatty Fan understood this principle.
So after turning around, Fatty Fan looked at Ning Yuan and asked.
"Then, how do we arrange the manpower?"
Ning Yuan waved his hand and spoke to Fatty Fan.
"I need to contact Chen Liangzi and the others about this. Anyway, we definitely can't just leave these guys to Hong Kong Island!"
After hearing this, not only Fatty Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but even Zhang Desheng in the office nodded.
After all, he knew very well the backgrounds of Ning Yuan and his gang.
With nothing else to discuss, the office fell silent for a while.
"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling!"
The phone rang, Ning Yuan stood next to the phone and picked up the call.
"Hello, is this Dayuan?"
It was indeed the voice of Fatty Fan’s grandfather on the other end of the phone.
Ning Yuan responded quickly.
"Hey Uncle Fan, it's me, it's me!"
"Okay, well, take a note of the number. This number works, but it's not the Guo family's patriarch's. The line in Hong Kong is blocked, and I can't get through to him. His second son is in Forbidden City, investing in a research institute, so I can only contact him!"
Ning Yuan urged Fatty Fan to bring paper and pen first.
Ning Yuan was mentally prepared for this situation. After all, Hong Kong Island has not been recovered yet, so it is normal that normal communication is not possible.
It was expected that the Guo family would keep people in Sijiu City. That was enough, as long as we could get in touch.
After taking the paper and pen, Ning Yuan spoke into the phone.
"Uncle Fan, it doesn't matter. As long as we can get in touch with their family, that's all that matters. Just tell me their phone number and I'll write it down and contact them later!"
"Okay, remember this!"
After finishing the call with Ning Yuan and making sure that he remembered it correctly, he began to give him more instructions.
"Dayuan, when you talk to him about something later, there's no need to be secretive. Uncle Fan has already covered everything for you!"
Ning Yuan thanked him repeatedly before hanging up the phone.
Working with smart people saves you a lot of trouble.
When Fatty Fan saw Ning Yuan hang up the phone, he quickly spoke up to stop him.
"Hey hey! Wait, Ning Yuan, sir, at least let me talk to my dad for a few words before you hang up!"
Fatty Fan looked at Ning Yuan speechlessly and complained.
Ning Yuan was also a little embarrassed. Indeed, it was reasonable and logical that he should let the father and son say a few more words. Alas, it was too hasty!
"Okay, okay, okay, it's my fault. I got so anxious! Well, if it doesn't work out, can you just call the old man and talk to him later?"
Seeing Ning Yuan's deflated expression, Fatty Fan naturally didn't say anything more.
After waving his hand casually, he sighed and said.
"Alright, alright, we're buddies after all, so get down to business first!"
Ning Yuan then smiled, picked up the phone and dialed the number written on the paper.
The call was connected very quickly. Almost as soon as I dialed the number, the other party picked up the phone.
However, after the call was connected, Ning Yuan and the person on the other end were silent for a moment.
Indeed, neither of them knew how to greet each other. If they just got straight to the point, that would be a bit too direct.
It was just a pleasantry, but since it was their first contact, Ning Yuan didn't even know the other person's name, only that his surname was Guo.
After reacting, Ning Yuan quickly spoke.
"Hello, Mr. Guo!"
Guo Zhenghuan on the other end of the phone was also very polite.
"Hello, Mr. Ning? Director Fan just introduced you to me!"
Ning Yuan then remembered what Fatty Fan's father had told him, and he started talking directly.
"Okay, Mr. Guo, I won't beat around the bush with you. I have a few friends in Hong Kong Island who were beaten up by He Liansheng's men. So, I need some help from you and the Guo family. We can work together!"
Guo Zhenghuan only understood Ning Yuan's background and the "Zheng Zhi" power they could mobilize through Director Fan, so he was still very polite to Ning Yuan's call.
However, he really didn't know why Ning Yuan came to their house.
After hearing Ning Yuan's explanation, he nodded with some understanding and then spoke into the phone.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ning. I'll contact Hong Kong Island right away and arrange for someone from Liansheng to apologize to your friends. What do you think?"
"Haha, Mr. Guo, you're joking. That's not what I want to discuss with you. If you just want an apology, I can just notify the customs department. They're all my uncles over there!"
Ning Yuan said to Guo Zhenghuan with a smile.
"Oh, what does Mr. Ning mean?"
Guo Zhenghuan certainly knew what Ning Yuan meant by showing off the customs. He just wanted to increase his own weight. However, it didn't matter. After all, the second generation like them had too many circles and too deep connections behind them!
"I want you and your family to help my friends gain a foothold in Hong Kong Island. From what I know, ever since Mr. Guo went to support the mainland, our family has been ostracized by both the black and white forces here, both openly and covertly!"
Ning Yuan knew how the Guo family gradually declined from a first-rate family and a top chaebol to a third-rate family with strong economic strength.
There are a lot of overt and covert targeting here.
