Chapter 1158 Morality and Money

The host was very happy.

"Wow, our live broadcast room now has more than four million simultaneous online viewers!"

Lu Chengwen had an agreement with them before that as long as he drank water, it meant that he wanted to end the live broadcast and go to rest and work.

At this time, Lu Chengwen was very surprised to hear that there were more than four million people in the live broadcast room!

He was not the kind of person who wanted to ride on the popularity, so he took the cup of water, took a sip, and glanced at the host.

The host was embarrassed. His task in the headphones was: continue the live broadcast, continue the interview.

Moreover, a temporary guest must be invited.

The host introduced the vice president of Bingzhou Mining Group: Zhao Minzhi.

Lu Chengwen's face looked very ugly. He had agreed to a brief interview of fifteen minutes, but now it turned out like this. He really wanted to get up and leave.

But Jiang Shihan on the opposite side shook her head at him, signaling him to be patient.

Zhao Minzhi shook hands with Lu Chengwen. Lu Chengwen did not stand up, but just sat there and forced a smile: "Nice to meet you."

Zhao Min sat down, forming a semicircle.

On one side is the host.

On the other side were Lu Chengwen, Cangyang Yidu and Zhao Minzhi.

The host asked, "Mr. Zhao, have you known Mr. Lu before?"

Zhao Minzhi smiled and said, "I don't know him, but Mr. Lu's name is probably well known to everyone in the entire Northern Kingdom."

The host said, "Now it's time for the question and answer session. In order to quickly increase mutual understanding, the two of you can ask each other five questions. Um... Mr. Zhao, you just arrived, so you can ask first."

Zhao Minzhi looked at Lu Chengwen and said, "Mr. Lu, Bingzhou is a resource-rich province. Many people describe your entry into Bingzhou as an invasion of Youzhou. What do you think of this?"

Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes and was already a little angry.

Zhao Minzhi had a smile on his face, and it was obvious that he was here to intimidate Lu Chengwen.

Cangyang Yidu sat between the two people, feeling a little awkward.

Lu Chengwen smiled slightly: "This time, I will inject more than 3.7 billion yuan in real money to acquire 15 mines and develop related sideline businesses and supporting businesses to assist Bingzhou's resource transformation. Rather than saying it is an invasion of Youzhou, I prefer to say 'strong alliance'. Bingzhou has rich mining assets, I have strong financial resources and business ideas, and a professional team. I believe that the entry of Dasheng Group will be an important transformation opportunity for Bingzhou, and it will also be a major benefit."

Zhao Minzhi smiled: "But the people of Bingzhou are skeptical about this. After all, Mr. Lu, your reputation in Youzhou is not very good. Haha, sorry, I like to speak my mind. So... many people think that you want to use the acquisition of Bingzhou's mineral resources to boost your group's stock price. The fifteen mines in Bingzhou are just a handle for you. You don't put much thought here, you are just using Bingzhou, and you won't benefit more than 90,000 mine workers. In fact, you don't care about their life or death, you only care about the existence and value of these fifteen mines to your own big business. Is that right?"

Cangyang Yidu was stunned.

This guy is obviously here to pick a fight! Why am I sitting here for this kind of interview?!

She looked at the host, who was obviously confused as well.

However, the director did not stop it.

On the contrary, I am very excited because the number of online users continues to soar!

Lu Chengwen looked at him: "Of course not."

As he said that, he grabbed the water cup and drank water angrily, while looking at the host. The host was very embarrassed, and at this time, he had no way to stop the live broadcast.

"Please tell me in detail." Zhao Min said with a smile.

“I’m just a businessman.”

"uh-huh."

Lu Chengwen stared at him, wishing he could just grab him by the hair and drag him out to beat him up.

“It is normal for businessmen to pursue profits.”

"So, you only care about your own interests and don't care about the more than 90,000 miners, right?"

"If I didn't care, I wouldn't have invested nearly four billion yuan to help Bingzhou Mining carry out technological transformation..."

"But we deeply doubt whether a person who has no morals and only cares about interests can be responsible for so many people? More than 90,000 people, that is, more than 90,000 families. The livelihood issues, employment issues, and the future development direction of the entire Bingzhou... are all on you alone... And you are a person whose private morality is well known to the public and whose moral standards are not very high. How do you think we should trust you? Or, we don't have to trust you at all!?"

Jiang Shihan found the director and said sternly, "What are you doing? Isn't this an entertainment interview? What is this? I demand that you stop the live broadcast immediately! President Lu has never been wronged like this!"

The director tried to comfort her: "Ms. Jiang, in this situation, do you think it is a good idea to ask Mr. Lu to stop the broadcast in a hurry? Moreover, at this point, the number of people online has exceeded seven million! Mr. Lu must get through this."

Jiang Shihan turned around and looked at Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen sat there steadily, motionless, elegant and calm.

But the look in his eyes was already very unhappy.

"Okay." Lu Chengwen said, "We can talk about this question slowly. First, what's your last name?"

"Zhao. Zhao Minzhi."

"Okay, Xiao Zhao."

"You can call me..."

"You can shut up." Lu Chengwen's words were calm and yet powerful.

The director, the host, Cangyang Yidu, and all the staff were shocked.

The director shook his head: "Live broadcast, this is a live broadcast!"

Lu Chengwen said: "You have interrupted me many times. At least here, I am more polite than you."

"Okay, you say."

"Morality? You have morality? Your mines are bloated, the equipment is outdated, the management model is backward, and the business philosophy is still from 50 years ago... How many years have you been calling for transformation? Have you divided up all the financial allocations from the state?!"

The director was shocked: "I can't say that! I can't say that!"

The director said: "We can't stop now!"

Zhao Minzhi finally stopped laughing: "Bingzhou has its own practical problems. You can't just stand far away and point fingers."

"So now I'm sitting in front of you and giving you orders!"

Lu Chengwen said: "Morality!? I, Lu Chengwen, do practical things! What I hate most is hypocrites who always talk about morality."

"I'll tell you what morality is! Morality is behavior, it's real money! I invested billions of dollars to help this city's mining industry transform, so that all miners' incomes can be increased, their quality of life can be improved, and our children can still trust this city in the future! Those who came here with nice words, those who talked about caring for miners, revitalizing Bingzhou's mining industry, and transforming with love... which one of them has made a name for themselves?"

"If those nice words really worked, would it be the turn of a Youzhou person to launch an 'invasion'?"

The live broadcast room was boiling.
