Chapter 416 Legally Setting Up Checkpoints to Check Vehicles: Perfectly Avoiding Reasons for Retalia
The black Maybach hadn't even reached the toll station on the Nanjiang Expressway yet.
From a great distance, Jiang Chen could see the shocking steel dragon.
Dozens of white refrigerated trucks bearing the "Jiang Group" logo lay motionless on the scorching asphalt road, like an endless white snake.
The weather in August was so hot and humid, it felt like a giant steamer.
The prolonged idling caused the refrigeration compressors on the roof of each refrigerated truck to emit a harsh, strained hum.
The air was filled with diesel exhaust fumes and a restless, anxious smell.
Several drivers from the Jiang Group, unable to bear the torment in the cab any longer, squatted in the shadow of the huge cab, smoking one cigarette after another, with cigarette butts scattered all around their feet.
Jiang Chen asked Wang Dagou to park the car on the side of the road, then got out and followed the long line of cars toward the source of the problem.
"Brother Chen!"
"Brother Chen, you're here!"
When the drivers saw Jiang Chen, they seemed to have found their pillar of support, and they all stood up and surrounded him.
"Brother Chen, you have to think of something! If this traffic jam continues, the vegetables in the car are going to spoil!"
"Yeah, Brother Chen, those bastards are scumbags, they're just deliberately trying to make things difficult for us!"
Jiang Chen patted an experienced worker on the shoulder, signaling them to calm down and continue walking forward.
At the very front of the line was the newly established giant integrated checkpoint.
A temporary structure, several tens of meters long, was filled with all sorts of unidentifiable testing instruments.
A dozen or so staff members in blue uniforms were working around a refrigerated truck that had just driven into the testing area, performing their meticulous tasks.
A worker, holding a measuring tape, was kneeling on the ground, measuring the depth of the tire tread millimeter by millimeter, while muttering numbers to himself.
The other person was holding something like a magnifying glass and carefully comparing it to the stamped serial number on the frame.
The whole process was so slow it was like watching a slow-motion video.
Wang Dagou had a fiery temper, and seeing this situation, his anger flared up instantly.
He rushed forward in three strides and started yelling at the group of people.
"Hey! Are you guys inspecting the car or drawing up blueprints for it?!"
"You've been measuring this beat-up car for ages! You've practically polished the mud off the wheels into a patina!"
"Let me tell you, the train carriages are filled with top-quality vegetables specially supplied from the provincial capital. If you suffocate because of the delay, you'll have to pay for it!"
Wang Dagou's loud voice made the entire checkpoint buzz.
The few slow-moving staff members visibly paused for a moment.
Inside the checkpoint, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses, who looked like a leader, walked out unhurriedly.
Faced with Wang Dagou's roar, he showed no anger whatsoever; instead, he even revealed a professional smile.
He slowly took out a red-headed document with a bright red seal from the folder and waved it in front of Wang Dagou.
"Comrade, please calm down."
"We strictly implement the notice jointly issued by the province regarding the 'Joint Action for Environmental Protection and Overloading Control of Agricultural Product Transport Vehicles in Green Channels'."
The middle-aged man adjusted his glasses, his tone as flat as if he were reading from a script.
"Every test we conduct is fully in line with the spirit of the documents and is completely legal and compliant."
"We are not targeting any particular private company; all vehicles that meet the standards are treated equally."
"If there are no problems with your car, we will stamp it and release it immediately after we have completed these necessary inspections."
His words were watertight and impeccable.
This is the most disgusting aspect of high-IQ, overtly calculated schemes.
He won't smash your car, extort money from you, or even raise his voice at you.
He's simply using the most complicated and redundant procedures within the framework of the rules, legally and compliantly, to drag you down to your death.
It leaves you seething with anger, but you can't even find a reason to vent it.
You dare to lay a hand on me? That would be violent resistance to the law.
You want to sue? They have official documents in their hands; you'll have no way to prove your case no matter how far you go.
Wang Dagou was so speechless by his words that his face turned red. He pointed at him and kept saying "you you you" for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.
Just then, an experienced driver who frequently travels this route leaned close to Jiang Chen's ear and whispered.
"Brother Chen, something's wrong."
"I just spent 500 yuan to ask an acquaintance at the toll station for information."
He said that the operating company for this section of the Nanjiang Expressway was just acquired last week, and the major shareholder has changed.
"This new major shareholder has a very powerful background."
"It seems...it seems to be the Chu family from the provincial capital, the one with connections everywhere."
Chu family.
When those four words entered his ears, Jiang Chen instantly understood everything.
The sky over Chu is vast.
The man who had suffered a setback in financial leverage immediately changed his approach.
He didn't send anyone to plot or scheme anymore, but instead directly used the Chu family's deep-rooted and powerful influence in Nanjiang Province.
By utilizing the highway operation rights held by Chujia Holdings, they openly and legitimately severed the logistics lifeline of Jiangjia Village within the bounds of the rules.
He had calculated that Jiang Chen liked to use money to bribe people and had a personality that preferred direct confrontation.
So this time, he deliberately doesn't give you any chance to confront him directly.
