Chapter 2163 Rewards and Punishments in Measures

Chief Bai laughed and said, "What kind of evidence is that? It can only prove that Liu Fusheng and Bai Rulei had discussed something together, but how do you know what they discussed?"

Elder Tang shook his head and said, "After they finished talking, Bai Rulei went back to stockpile food. He even mortgaged two properties to get a high-value loan. It's obvious that he received inside information and wanted to make a fortune."

He said meaningfully: "In addition to this, Bai Rulei also obtained a large amount of funds from unknown sources through other channels, and all of this money was invested in the storage of grain. I guess this matter also has the credit of the Bai family, right?"

This is a very vicious statement. Bai Rulei is the nephew of Chief Bai. The answer to who can provide him with help is obvious.

The other senior leaders couldn't help but frown when they heard this. Some even wanted to stand up and smooth things over between the two people. After all, Mr. Tang was being a bit aggressive today.

Chief Bai waved his hand to stop the man, then turned to Old Man Tang and said frankly, "Comrade Old Tang, Bai Rulei's loan to raise funds was indeed approved by me."

Chief Bai actually admitted that he helped Bai Rulei stockpile food. What is going on?

Mr. Tang quickly seized the opportunity and said with a smile: "Comrade Lao Bai, how could you do such a thing? Is it the family tradition of the Bai family to seize every opportunity to make money from national disasters?"

Chief Bai said helplessly: "Old Tang, before you accuse me, can you investigate the final destination of that batch of grain?"

Where to go?

Mr. Tang said in a deep voice: "Do we still need to investigate? They must have taken advantage of the high grain prices to sell them on the market and make a profit."

Bai Shou sighed, "Comrade Lao Tang, you really wronged them. For people like you and me, every word and action is of great importance. We can't be like ordinary people and do whatever we want. If you do this, you may ruin some good comrades and even affect the lives of many people."

When Mr. Tang heard this, his expression changed slightly. He seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy.

"Old White, please make your words clear."

Chief Bai said with a smile: "Well, actually I didn't intend to tell you. After all, this matter will have a certain impact on our country's international image, but it is related to the future and reputation of two patriotic young people, so I have to tell you and let everyone know."

"Comrade Old Tang is well-informed. Liu Fusheng and Bai Rulei did meet in private. They discussed how to help the country overcome its difficulties. Later, Bai Rulei found me and asked me to help him raise funds and purchase grain. His purpose was not to make money, but to set up an ambush outside and help the country defeat the four major grain merchants."

Mr. Tang said sullenly, "How can they defeat the four major grain merchants? This is simply nonsense."

Chief Bai took out a document, put it on the table and said, "Comrades, you can take a look at this document. This is the process of Bai Rulei and Liu Fusheng hoarding grain, as well as the whereabouts and use of this batch of grain... They were all donated free of charge to an international investor named Franklin."

As the information was circulated and Chief Bai told their story, everyone knew the whole story.

Some leaders lamented: "Without the secret help of Liu Fusheng and Bai Rulei, it would be easier for the four major grain merchants to raise funds. Even if my country can win, it will have to pay a greater price."

Another senior leader also nodded and said, "That's right. The collapse of international grain prices started with the exposure of insider trading between the four major grain traders and Franklin. If it hadn't happened, the grain traders' reputation would never have collapsed so quickly, and we wouldn't have been able to win so cleanly."

After a pause, the old leader said with a smile on his face: "As Comrade Lao Bai said, Liu Fusheng and Bai Rulei both made great contributions in the food war."

This old leader carries a lot of weight. As soon as he speaks, people immediately follow his lead.

The old leader looked at Mr. Tang, who had a gloomy face, and said, "Comrade Tang, you misunderstood others this time."

"..."

Old Master Tang never expected that Chief Bai actually had such a backup plan. This was simply a big trap he had dug for himself.

What's funny is that he was just complacent, thinking that he had victory in his grasp, and made many provocations to Chief Bai. Now the situation has reversed and he has instantly become the clown. He has lost face so much!

The leaders around couldn't help but sigh when they saw that Mr. Tang didn't say a word.

Chief Bai said: "Comrades, I would like to make a small request. Due to the sensitivity of this matter and the possible impact it may have on our country internationally, I do not think it is appropriate to publicly commend Liu Fusheng and Bai Rulei."

"However, their efforts cannot be in vain, and they should not be slandered by rumors."

The leaders nodded one after another.

The old leader asked: "How do you think we should commend them?"

Chief Bai said: "First of all, Bai Rulei's loan to collect grain was his personal behavior, but I think that this loan should be borne by the state. We can't let ordinary people pay in vain, or even bear a debt that is difficult to repay for a lifetime."

All the leaders had no objection to this. With such a large loan, not to mention Bai Rulei, even a wealthy man would definitely feel pressured.

But from the perspective of the country, they have sufficient means to easily resolve the debt.

Chief Bai continued, "In addition, the rumors against Liu Fusheng and Bai Rulei at the social level need to be banned immediately. All media outlets that spread false information must be warned and investigated. I suggest setting up a special working group to investigate the source of the rumors. After all, these photos and relevant information about grain purchases will never be leaked to the market casually. This is someone with ulterior motives who deliberately targeted them. The purpose is to put these two patriotic young people into an irretrievable situation."

Hearing this, Mr. Tang's expression became even uglier.

The other leaders also smiled bitterly, they all knew that this was Old Bai starting to fight back.

As he said, the evidence provided by Chief Tang is too professional. The angles of the photos and videos are not something that ordinary people can do. This investigation is likely to follow the clues and catch the Tang family behind the scenes, cutting off their many minions in the media.

This is equivalent to cutting flesh from the Tang family.

After a brief discussion, the meeting passed Chief Bai's proposal, and he nominated candidates to form a special working group to investigate and collect evidence from the media.

Old Master Tang had a cold face the whole time. He suffered a huge loss today.

Before the meeting ended, Chief Bai proposed: "I hope that the country will publicly commend Liu Fusheng and Bai Rulei through official media. It doesn't need to say what they have done specifically, but it should point out that they have made great contributions to the country. Only in this way can rewards and punishments be appropriate and fair."
