Chapter 549 Zhang Dongbei, who knows when to yield
Zhang Dongbei's key to the Aijia Supermarket Group lies in his connection with the upper echelons of power.
Over the years, Zhang Dongbei's rampant monopolization of basic livelihood industries in Linzhou City has undoubtedly relied on his ability to cultivate good relationships with people from different social strata.
When it comes to dealing with people, Zhang Dongbei has his own unique methods.
When dealing with subordinates, you have to use your fists. As long as you have strong fists, no one can stop Zhang Dongbei from moving forward.
In Zhang Dongbei's view, ordinary people only care about him; he can give them a bowl of rice if he wants to, and he can do whatever business he wants.
It was precisely this ruthlessness that allowed Zhang Dongbei to gradually rise from a small supermarket owner to his current position.
However, for some people within the system, Zhang Dongbei, who has some connections and status, is treated differently.
Zhang Dongbei's approach to these people was to offer them small favors.
During holidays, Zhang Dongbei instructed all his subordinates to list out the officials from all departments and units under the Aijia Supermarket Group, from the highest to the lowest, and then conduct one-on-one communication and exchanges.
It can be said that in recent years, with the growth of Aijia Supermarket, people involved in these areas have been eating quite well.
People who don't do anything get a few hundred or a thousand yuan during holidays, but those who do manage things get several thousand or even tens of thousands. If they are in a higher position, they will definitely get more.
This is why, for example, the relevant regulatory departments turn a blind eye to issues like the Youhao Road farmers' market.
As for those at higher levels, Zhang Dongbei would have his capable subordinates make the necessary connections, while he would only be responsible for communication between the three of them.
These are Zheng, Liu, and Ma, whom Zhang Dongbei just mentioned reporting during interrogation.
Although Qin Chuan had only been in Linzhou for a short time, he was very familiar with the names of these three people, and had even attended meetings organized by two of them.
Qin Chuan had long guessed the level of the backer behind Aijia Supermarket Group, and he had his own ideas about it, but he didn't know who it was. He never expected it to be these three people.
Of course, Qin Chuan has nothing to do with these kinds of things.
He was in charge of collecting evidence of organized crime and gang-related activities within the entire Aijia Supermarket Group, as well as handling some cases. As for the information Zhang Dongbei provided, that needed to be investigated by the relevant departments.
After obtaining the relevant evidence, Qin Chuan went to Zhang Tianyu's office immediately.
Qin Chuan had no reservations about these three people because Zhang Dongbei had concrete evidence of their involvement in the crimes. No matter how high their positions were or how much power their backers had, once this information was exposed, these people would be finished.
Qin Chuan's principle has always been to kill the snake with one blow, rather than leaving it half-dead and then getting bitten by it in the end.
Of course, Zhang Dongbei confessed to more than just these three people; he also provided clues about other people from other districts and counties. Song Baobao also provided some evidence, which was found in the safe left by Song Baobao.
Qin Chuan had experience in carrying out these special campaigns against organized crime in Zhulin County and Ping'an County. He knew that once a large criminal gang was taken down, a whole string of people would follow suit.
After obtaining the relevant evidence, Zhang Tianyu immediately went to the municipal party committee to report to the main leaders.
Although Zhang Tianyu is the director of the Public Security Bureau and also a member of the Standing Committee of the Linzhou Municipal Party Committee and the deputy mayor, he cannot simply arrest these individuals on his own; he needs to request approval from a higher-level leader to take charge of the arrest.
He doesn't often deal with matters concerning his superiors; now he also has to issue a notice soliciting evidence related to the Aijia Supermarket criminal group throughout the city.
Moreover, Qin Chuan believed that as long as this announcement was issued, the entire Aijia Supermarket Group would be brought down, and Zhang Dongbei would be brought to justice. Then, the anti-gang crime task force led by Qin Chuan would have a foothold in Linzhou City. It would have shown the ordinary people with tangible results that this anti-gang crime campaign was not just a passing fad, but was truly going to restore peace to Linzhou City!
