Qi Tongwei at the start: Not relying on Liang Lu, but winning by a single move against Heaven.

Qi Tongwei and Sun Liancheng came from similar backgrounds and both experienced suppression from above.

After several encounters, we developed a mutual respect and appreciation for each other.

Although they had only met a few times, they chatted very warmly, like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.

Over drinks, the conversation unexpectedly shifted from personal circumstances to Dafeng Factory.

Sun Liancheng sighed and said with a wry smile.

"One wave subsides only for another to rise; Dafeng Factory is like a volcano..."

Even if it's over, they'll still skin me alive...

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei frowned, glanced at him, and asked softly.

"What's wrong with Dafeng Factory again...? I didn't hear from Abao that there were any problems with Dafeng Factory's orders..."

Sun Liancheng took a sip of wine, chuckled, and answered softly.

"How long has it been since Dafeng Factory paid wages...?"

The workers were ecstatic when they saw the order... What could possibly be wrong with an order...?

The problem isn't with the orders; the problem lies in the triangular debt...

Qi Tongwei immediately understood upon hearing this.

In the 1990s, state-owned enterprises were the hardest hit by triangular debt.

It is no exaggeration to say that virtually no state-owned enterprise is free from triangular debt.

He nodded, picked up a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, then tentatively asked.

"I heard that Dafeng Factory has made some money... and the debt collectors have come knocking on the door?"

Sun Liancheng took a sip of wine, nodded, and replied in a deep voice.

"That's right... I wonder who spread the rumor..."

It started with electricity, then fuel... They say it's like going to work, you have to clock in on time..."

After saying that, he tilted his head back and downed a glass in one gulp, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Dafeng Factory is really having a tough time... We finally saw a glimmer of hope, but if things continue like this... sigh..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei sensed something was amiss and asked in a low voice.

"Power and fuel delivery... why aren't the downstream suppliers here?"

"Dafeng Factory is the production unit; shouldn't the supplier be the one with the largest outstanding debt?"

Sun Liancheng glanced at Qi Tongwei, shook his head with a wry smile, and said.

"What are you thinking... How could I not come? Dafeng Factory has already paid part of the payment to the suppliers..."

Otherwise, do you think they can continue to provide him with raw materials?

"Triangular debt is everywhere, and now everyone's scared... they won't act until they see a clear benefit..."

After listening to Sun Liancheng's words, Qi Tongwei nodded and said with a smile.

"Well, as long as the downstream suppliers don't cause trouble... as long as production can be guaranteed and delivery can be made on time."

I've given an explanation to both sides, so it doesn't count as cheating my friends...

After saying that, he felt something was amiss, glanced at Sun Liancheng, and continued to ask.

"Hey, aren't you at the State Commission for Restructuring the Economic System? What does the triangular debt have to do with you? Why are you so worried?"

Sun Liancheng handed Qi Tongwei a cigarette, shook his head with a wry smile, and said softly.

"The current Dafeng Factory is like a plaster; it sticks to anyone who touches it, and you can't shake it off..."

Speaking of this, it's all thanks to your mentor...

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"Gao Yuliang? What does that have to do with him..."

Sun Liancheng took a drag of his cigarette and slowly began to speak.

"How can it have nothing to do with him... He's now the vice mayor of Jingzhou City, in charge of..."

After the issue of triangular debt arose, I don't know how it came to his attention...

They know how to play the game; they directly pulled in the State Planning Commission, the State Commission for Restructuring the Economic System, the State Economic Commission...

A task force was formed to resolve the triangular debt... supposedly to use Dafeng Factory as a model example...

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei nodded and said in a deep voice.

"It's not that Gao Yuliang is making a mountain out of a molehill; it's that you don't understand the major policies."

Solving the problem of triangular debt is the general direction, and we are currently at a critical juncture...

At this time, Gao Yuliang's establishment of a special task force was in line with policy direction and the will of Heaven...

Upon hearing this, Sun Liancheng frowned and said with a wry smile.

"I know the general direction... but solving the debt problem requires money... where will the money come from..."

Many meetings were held...and Dafeng Factory had to pay for everything, including wages and raw materials..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei couldn't help but feel suspicious.

The higher authorities specifically allocated funds for debt collection, so why does Sun Liancheng say there's no money?

Although he had doubts, Qi Tongwei did not press the matter.

Less knowledge means less trouble; more acquaintances mean more trouble.

Sometimes, not knowing something can actually bring peace of mind and reduce trouble.

After a moment's thought, Qi Tongwei took a deep drag of his cigarette and said with a smile.

"Cats have their ways, mice have their paths..."

This isn't entirely unsolvable; it just depends on how you want to resolve it...

Upon hearing this, Sun Liancheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked.

Do you have a solution?

Tongwei, if you can help me get it out of here, I would be so grateful.

You have no idea how annoyed I've been lately...

Qi Tongwei didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly.

"If the Commission for Restructuring the Economic System were to handle this matter, it would be really difficult to resolve."

But it's different when Gao Yuliang comes forward; he represents the city government...

After saying that, he placed three peanuts on the table, pointed to one of them and said.

"This is the wind farm, this is the power company, the fuel company..."

"Then tell me, whose is the remaining one?"

Sun Liancheng, puzzled, looked at the three peanuts on the table and shook his head.

Seeing that Sun Liancheng did not understand, Qi Tongwei reminded him.

"Triangular debt... as the name suggests, involves at least three parties..."

If Dafeng Factory owes money to others, does that mean others don't owe Dafeng Factory money?

In previous years, those companies that bought garments from Dafeng Factory... all paid in cash on delivery?

After saying that, he threw the peanut in the middle into his mouth and continued speaking.

"Now that you've figured out this relationship... then Dafeng Factory is established..."

Sun Liancheng blinked, frowned, and asked in a deep voice.

"Transferring the debt...that would allow us to remove Dafeng Factory...but the debt still exists..."

"They won't get paid for electricity and fuel, they'll still cause trouble... the problem isn't solved..."

Qi Tongwei took a sip of wine, glanced at him, and said softly.

"You're with the Commission for Restructuring the Economic System... the Commission for Restructuring the Economic System, which oversees enterprises..."

What business is it of yours what other departments are doing? Mind your own business...

Seeing Sun Liancheng's hesitation, he sighed and spoke again.

"Think about it carefully... If you follow this line of thought, won't the debt eventually become more concentrated...?"

"If the debt is concentrated in a few specific entities, it's easy to resolve..."

After a long silence, Sun Lian frowned, nodded, and said with a wry smile.

"Following this line of thinking, just clarifying the debt relationships would require countless meetings... it would be incredibly exhausting..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Tongwei glanced at him and muttered something under his breath.

"No trouble at all...no trouble at all. Can the higher-ups designate this as a special project?"

Qi Tongwei and Sun Liancheng were drinking together, while Gao Yuliang was also having a drink with Hou Liangping.

Coincidentally, the private room where the two were was the same one where Hou Liangping and Cai Chenggong had met.

Hou Liangping acted very humbly. He filled Gao Yuliang's glass with wine and asked softly.

"Teacher Gao... things are really getting out of hand at Dafeng Factory... I think it would be better to just restructure it..."

Firstly, it will completely resolve the debt issue. Secondly, it will also put Chief Prosecutor Chen's mind at ease...

Gao Yuliang hesitated for a moment, glanced at Hou Liangping, and said softly.

"This is difficult... Cai Chenggong only contributed 300 out of the 60 million in assets... and he won't even take on the debts..."

"That order from Dafeng Factory, the down payment alone was two million... how could it be directly restructured..."
