Chen Feng did not hesitate, and told Old Zhao the entire story of closing that large gaming company.
"Chen Feng, your method is good, but the problem is, it's such a shame for such a large gaming company to be shut down. Seeing as you're an old hand in the political arena, how could you do something so reckless without considering the consequences?"
Old Zhao said with a dejected expression.
He had thought Chen Feng had some brilliant solution, but it turned out to be such a rash plan.
"Old Zhao, please don't worry, I haven't finished speaking. When I said closing this large gaming company, I didn't mean a real closure. It's just a closure on the surface. In reality, it's for your relatives to acquire this gaming company at a low price..."
Chen Feng said calmly.
"This?"
Old Zhao's eyes shot out a sharp glint.
He was the head of the Cultural Bureau and had taken a lot of illicit money over the years, thinking he was quite cunning. To his surprise, this young man was even more cunning than him.
"Old Zhao, if you agree, we can start now."
Chen Feng said with a smile.
Judging by the change in Old Zhao's expression, he was already tempted. It was time to strike while the iron was hot.
"This matter is good, but it feels very dangerous. Does this large gaming company have any significant background? In China, no matter what company it is, once it grows big, it will more or less have a significant background."
Old Zhao's eyes rolled around.
Chen Feng remained unfazed.
He was an old hand in the political arena and had anticipated this long ago.
Old Zhao was also an old hand in the political arena, and wasn't easily fooled.
"This is quite possible, but it doesn't matter. Why don't you have the deputy director handle this matter? If this gaming company has no background, you can reap the benefits. If it does have a background, you can simply say that the deputy director was the one who caused trouble, that you were unaware, and distance yourself from it."
Chen Feng explained calmly.
Upon hearing this, Old Zhao immediately acted according to Chen Feng's plan.
In less than a week, the Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao gaming company was shut down and transferred.
In China, when companies seek favors from the political sphere, it's very slow, with excuses and delays.
However, conversely, when the political sphere wants to harm a company, it can be done in minutes, with any excuse.
This is the Chinese characteristic!
The shutdown and transfer of the gaming company sent Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao into a furious rage.
They had always been the ones to trick others, never the ones to be tricked.
Especially this time, they had been tricked quite severely, losing all their pocket money.
Gaming companies, while very profitable, are also very money-consuming.
A well-run gaming company can make someone a billionaire overnight.
For example, China's Tencent.
Conversely, a poorly run gaming company can cause someone to fall from grace overnight.
For example, China's Shanda in the past.
Compared to China's Tencent and China's Shanda, Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao, though holding high positions, were far inferior in their business acumen.
If Shanda couldn't withstand the gaming tide and capsized, it was even more certain that the two spoiled brats, Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao, wouldn't be able to.
Thus, in a week's time, the immense fortunes of Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao vanished into thin air.
To be honest, Chen Feng hadn't thought of this initially; he just wanted to teach Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao a lesson.
Later, he discovered that Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao had bet all their money on the gaming company.
Chen Feng's thinking changed rapidly.
It had to be said that Chen Feng's adaptability was extraordinary.
Chen Feng decided to seize this golden opportunity to severely suppress and counterattack Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao, and to show off his strength to the Wang family in the capital.
With such a brilliant move, the Wang family in the capital would definitely accept him earlier.
With the strong support of the Wang family in the capital, his future path in politics would surely accelerate.
It had to be said that everything in life is full of the unpredictable.
A sudden, unforeseen change had caused all of Chen Feng's plans to be reshuffled.
The gaming company incident had truly allowed Chen Feng to reap immense benefits.
However, Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao were utterly depressed.
Overnight, the astronomical pocket money that the Wang family in the capital provided to their two young masters had vanished.
Therefore, Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao decided to hire someone to deal with Chen Feng.
With Chen Feng alive, not only could he potentially marry into the Wang family in the capital, but he would also hinder their brothers' path to riches.
Without a doubt, Chen Feng becoming a dead man was the best outcome for them.
Chen Feng, being an old hand in the political arena, naturally understood the malicious intentions of Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao.
However, Chen Feng was not flustered at all.
Because Chen Feng held a trump card.
Jiangcheng University of Technology would soon be upgraded to a 985 university!
Over a hundred top talents, the world's largest campus laboratory, and unlimited economic support... This would definitely allow China to produce a brand new, top-tier 985 university.
Chen Feng calmly went to find Wang Jianshan, a major figure in the capital, and directly confronted him.
"What? You let Zishan and Zihao lose their pocket money?"
Wang Jianshan was astonished.
Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao were his sons. Although it was just pocket money, it was an astronomical sum, and Chen Feng had dealt with it so easily.
"Yes."
Chen Feng replied without subservience.
"Why did you do that?"
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
Chen Feng looked at Wang Jianshan seriously.
"Of course."
"I want to marry Teacher Wang Ziwei."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"Marry my daughter? Isn't that a bit too soon? As a deputy mayor of a county-level city, trying to enter the Wang family in the capital is frankly too early! Also, what does marrying my daughter have to do with you swindling Zishan and Zihao? Don't you know that those two are Ziwei's biological brothers? By doing this, aren't you pushing Ziwei further away?"
Wang Jianshan asked, confused.
He was an old hand among old hands in the political arena, able to see through most people, but he couldn't see through this young man, Chen Feng.
Every step this young man took was jumpy and unpredictable.
"Old Wang, Ziwei's two brothers have always looked down on me, thinking I'm just a driver and not qualified to marry your Wang family's daughter. Therefore, I must speak with facts. I am a driver, but not an ordinary one. My capabilities are more than enough for the Wang family in the capital. Of course, this time, causing Wang Zishan and Wang Zihao to lose so much money was abrupt, but it was out of necessity. Time was extremely short, and not a single second could be wasted. I had to take a drastic measure to show the Wang family in the capital my extraordinary ability!"
Chen Feng explained calmly.
"Continue."
Wang Jianshan said with great interest.
"I want to become the mayor of Mingshan City, so I must leverage the influence of the Wang family in the capital. In China, it's impossible to enter the higher echelons of politics without a powerful backer!"
"Chen Feng, to be honest, I recognize your abilities. In just a few years, you've turned Mingshan Town from a small mountain town into a county-level city. Few people in China can achieve this. With this ability, becoming the mayor of Mingshan City is entirely achievable, and you don't need to rely on the Wang family's influence."
Wang Jianshan responded, confused.
"Old Wang, you misunderstand. I don't want to be the mayor of a county-level city, but the mayor of a directly administered municipality. Only by becoming the mayor of a directly administered municipality can I reach the peak of Chinese politics and change China according to my ideas."
Chen Feng said with a serious expression.
"I didn't expect your ambitions to be so lofty! However, to be honest, to achieve this grand and magnificent goal, ambition alone is not enough. Having the Wang family as a backer is also far from sufficient; it requires time! You are too young at this age. Frankly speaking, you will only be able to achieve this extraordinary and grand goal when you are thirty years older, in your fifties or sixties. Can you wait patiently for thirty years?"
Wang Jianshan asked meaningfully.
"Old Wang, please rest assured, as long as you agree to my marriage with Teacher Wang Ziwei, I have the patience to wait for thirty years..."
Chen Feng replied calmly.
"Chen Feng, I am very happy to see your perseverance. Honestly, you are the ideal candidate for the Wang family in the capital to maintain its glory, much stronger than Zishan and Zihao. However, the conditions for taking in a live-in son-in-law for the Wang family in the capital are very strict. Are you sure you want to accept?"
Wang Jianshan deliberately tried to intimidate Chen Feng.
"For my original aspiration in politics, I am willing to accept any conditions."
Chen Feng said emotionally.
"As long as you agree that the first boy you have with Ziwei will have the surname Wang, I can let Ziwei marry you, and I can use ten years to make Mingshan City, from a county-level city, become a prefecture-level city, then a super-large city, and finally a directly administered municipality, allowing you to accumulate enough political capital. How about it?"
Wang Jianshan deliberately emphasized the words "surname Wang."
The child would have Chen Feng's genes and would undoubtedly be the next prodigy in politics.
This way, the Wang family lineage in the capital would have an extraordinary inheritance.
The Wang family in the capital could then flourish for another hundred years.
"No problem."
Chen Feng exhaled deeply.
In his eyes, the vast ambition of the sea slowly unfolded.
Although the distant peak of politics was still thirty years away, the blueprint for his future political career had already been drawn.
Step by step, it was clear and solid.
With his heaven-defying talent in politics, coupled with the immense power of the Wang family in the capital.
He, Chen Feng, a rural youth who became a female leader's driver right after graduating from university, was destined to leave an indelible mark on Chinese history...
(The End of this Book)
Author's concluding thoughts: This book marks both an end and a beginning. From the moment Mingshan City, a county-level city, became a 985 university, Jiangcheng City and Mingshan City gained inexhaustible development momentum, and only then did Chen Feng, the little driver, truly enter the Chinese political arena.
The grassroots politics in China is just minor skirmishes of small figures, which cannot showcase Chen Feng's heaven-defying political talent.
Entering the politics of prefecture-level cities in China is truly touching the profound and mysterious door of Chinese politics...
